Dewey unbound
Melvil Dewey, born to thrifty, parsimonious parents in upstate New York on 10 December 1851, could almost be said to have been destined to devise the classification system used by 200,000 libraries around the world today. He was a man devoted to efficiency, and was an enemy of waste. At sixteen, having taught himself bookkeeping, he convinced his father to sell his general store because it was a losing proposition. Born Melville Louis Kossuth Dewey, he dropped his middle names and shortened his first name by his early twenties. For a while he favored spelling his last name Dui, but dropped this affectation long before 'driving under the influence' became a social and legal problem (he was, in fact,a strong proponent of teetotalism).
From the beginnings of his professional career at Amherst College, he single-mindedly pursued his various interests with a great driving energy, sometimes to the detriment of those who worked around him, and ultimately leading to his demise as a leader in the library field.
While still a student assistant at the Amherst library, he came up with the idea for his famous system of classification, and in 1876 published his simple yet ingenious plan: A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloging and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library. Originally a 42-page pamphlet, it is today in its 23rd edition, and has grown in size to four volumes with a total of 4,175 pages. Now sleekly packaged as DDC23, the text still follows Dewey's philosophy, and his original format of 10 subject divisions with a subject index. Dewey explained his creation in the preface to the first edition:
The plan of the following Classification and Index was developed early in 1873. It was the result of several months study of library economy as found in some hundreds of books and pamphlets, and in over fifty personal visits to various American libraries. In this study, the author became convinced that the usefulness of these libraries might be greatly increased without additional expenditure. Three years' practical use of the system here explained, leads him to believe that it will accomplish this result; for with its aid, the catalogues, shelf lists, indexes, and cross-references essential to this increased usefulness, can be made more economically than by any other method which he has been able to find. The system was devised for cataloguing and indexing purposes, but it was found on trial to be equally valuable for numbering and arranging books and pamphlets on the shelves.
The basic plan of the system was to divide all knowledge into 10 parts:
0 – general knowledge, including bibliography, general periodicals, and encyclopedias
100 – Philosophy
200 – Theology
300 – Sociology
400 – Philology
500 – Natural Science
600 – Useful Arts
700 – Fine Arts
800 – Literature
900 – History, including geography and biography
These parts can be sub-divided almost endlessly, which accounts for the voluminous 23rd edition.
As areas of knowledge expanded over the century, especially in the practical sciences such as engineering, the Dewey system accommodated the changes fairly well, although by the time the 13th edition rolled out in the middle of the 20th century, it was theoretically possible to string a Dewey number out to 23 digits.
As science and society changed, the several editions of Dewey began to recommend changes in the initial placement of categories – relocations – which although welcomed as progressive, were objected to by libraries because these shifts were expensive – requiring reshelving as well as re-labeling. Moreover, while many libraries adopted the system to their own needs, some standardization and centralization was called for. With a push by the American Library Association, the Library of Congress took over the assignment of Dewey numbers in 1933, and continues this function to this day, with a staff of nine in the Library of Congress cataloging division.
According to Julianne Beall, the Library of Congress's assistant editor of Dewey Decimal Classification, these days the section's most significant contribution is to the 'Cataloging in Publication' records that are provided to publishers, and found on a book's imprint page. Dewey was still the system of choice for most libraries in the mid-50s, but within the next decade many large public and college libraries switched over to the Library of Congress system of classification. This competing system, which began in 1901, was preferred because it was more flexible and because its prefix lettering allowed for more readable, shorter, numbers over a wider variety of subjects.
Dewey is still alive and well in most public libraries of the United States and the United Kingdom. In addition to the printed guides, there is WebDewey, which is available by subscription, but can be viewed for free in its basic form. The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) has been 'owned' by OCLC, since 1988 (OCLC is the non-profit producer of WorldCat). Among the benefits touted by WebDewey: it provides 'a logical system for organizing every item in your library's unique collection' and offers library users the 'familiarity and consistency of a time-honored classification system'.
At a local branch of a public library in suburban Washington, a librarian was asked whether she had instructed any patrons recently on the value of the Dewey Decimal system. She replied that with the computer catalog, 'our customers can just get the number and go to the shelf; they don't really care about how a book is classified'. She said also that the library no longer needed to assign any numbers to match its collections or even label the books. That is now all done by the book vendor who purchases from the publisher in bulk and distributes to libraries.
Melvil Dewey died in 1931, long before the advent of modern electronic communications, but one could speculate he might be happy, even proud, of his work surviving into the 21st century on WebDewey. He was forward-looking in many ways. He had a lifelong interest in reforming spelling and adopting the metric system into the U.S. Recalling his championing of the metric system, Dewey wrote: 'I desyded that the world needed just 1 mezur for length, 1 for capasiti, and 1 for weit, and that they should all be in simpl decimals lyk our muni'.
In his professional life Dewey's accomplishments were many: he was instrumental in establishing the American Library Association in 1876, and was editor of the first five years of the Library Journal. Moreover, he established the first library school in the United States at Columbia University with 20 students in 1887: the 'School of Library Economy'.
It was at Columbia that he began to experience friction with those he worked with and for. As stated in the Dictionary of American Biography, Columbia was 'still attached to things of the past' and 'Dewey's youthful vigor and overpowering energy, eagerness for opportunities to demonstrate his new ideas, and insistence of the absolute rightness of his convictions forecast anything but a tranquil future'.
By encouraging women to attend the new library school, he raised the hackles of the college's trustees. What's more, he raised eyebrows when he asked applicants, most of them women, to provide their weight, hair color, eye color, and a photograph. Dewey's explanation that he was trying to ready these potential students for the job market for some reason seemed to placate the trustees. Nonetheless, Dewey soon resigned and took a job as the director of the New York State Library in Albany, taking his new library school along with him.
Over the next few years he was dogged by allegations of minor financial irregularities – for instance, he was accused of forcing his students to buy bicycles from him that he had purchased wholesale – that never seemed to stick to him, but as the Dictionary of American Biography notes 'his energy and activity seemed to grow with the years; some of his friends regretted that his tact and discretion failed to increase in like measure'. Perhaps illustrating this lack of tact, the New York Times reported 14 Aug., 1895, Dewey's testimony before a state committee investigating him, to explain why charges were made against him.
'He said he incurred the enmity of a certain official in the building and labor organizations. The latter opposed him because at the time that 100,000 volumes belonging to the State Library were being removed from one floor to another he insisted that able-bodied laborers could carry fifteen books as well as three, especially as they rode in an elevator between floors. He also objected to workmen sleeping during working hours.'
What finally brought him down professionally, and led to his resignation as director of the state library, began with a purchase of property in the Adirondack Mountains of New York that he used as a wilderness resort with his wife. Eventually they acquired more property and formed the Lake Placid Club, with 400 buildings and 10,000 acres. But Dewey had written the policy of the club to exclude all Jews 'even when of unusual personal qualifications'. It was these anti-Semitic provisions, combined with the accretion of ill-will towards him over the years that led to his ouster in 1905. Furthermore, rumors swirled around him throughout his career about his inappropriate attitudes and behavior toward women, actions that nowadays would be called sexual harassment.
His resignation from the state library effectively ended his professional library career at age 54. A few days before he died at age 80 he wrote that he viewed himself as a sundial 'wher no wheels get rusti or slip a cog or get tired & long for rest'.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 20.8 square miles (53.9 km²), all of it land.Nogales, Arizona, a crossroads community for a thousand years, wants you to experience its unique shopping, historical, and cultural adventures. The name Nogales comes from the Spanish word "walnut" and Walnut trees once grew abundantly in the mountain pass between the city of Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Mexico.
Thousands of years ago, before European explorers ever dreamed of sailing across the Atlantic, Nogales was part of a migratory path and trade route much later called El Camino Real (The King's Highway). Much later, regiments of armor-clad Conquistadors forayed north along this very valley in quest of precious metals and gems. Today missions built by the Spanish colonials still dot the valley's landscape.

During training camp, NFL players are rarely arrested, as players just have too much to do to have any time to get into trouble off the field.
But Vikings players had the day off Sunday, and quarterback Rhett Bomar took the time to get himself arrested.
Bomar was arrested early Sunday morning in Mankato, where the Vikings have camp, for third-degree drunken driving. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Bomar was taken to Blue Earth County Jail early Sunday and was released by Sunday evening.
The 26-year-old Bomar, whom the Vikings acquired from the Giants' practice squad in December, was a long shot to make the roster even before he was arrested. He's fourth on the quarterback depth chart behind Donovan McNabb, Christian Ponder and Joe Webb.
Bomar was Oklahoma's starting quarterback in 2005 but was kicked off the team in 2006 for violating NCAA rules. He transferred to Sam Houston State, finished his college career there, and was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL draft.

With the heritage and legacy of the Mustang being so deeply rooted within drag racing, it is hard to see it as anything other than a drag car. The Mustang has constantly and consistently dominated your local drag strip, even being barred from competing in certain classes due to its success. Typically, when a vehicle like the Mustang is so successful in one area, rarely is it ever a serious competitor in any other type of racing. However, the Mustang is a true outlier—the car that not only defies standards, but also expectations.
More often than not, the Mustang is quickly dismissed from all conversations about handling, with some who would even laugh at the thought of "corner carver" and "Mustang" being used in the same sentence. Looking past the few exceptions such as the Boss 302 and the Shelby GT350, a large amount of people do not take the Mustang seriously when it comes to handling, albeit in a competition setting. The truth of it is, they're wrong.
From a stock standpoint, the Mustang has come a long way in the suspension and handling department from the old days. The factory options offered through the dealer have improved massively over the course of the past decade; Track Pack options from Ford have given enthusiasts a solid and stout foundation for either drag racing or autocross/track racing. The new S550 platform has introduced Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) as standard equipment on the Mustang, raising its status as a well-balanced performance car even more.
Shifting gears to an aftermarket standpoint, it only becomes much more apparent how well-suited the Mustang is for handling and how competent it can be in racing series that are not drag oriented. From the ever expanding aftermarket providing enthusiasts with what they need to modify their cars for competition, to your big names in racing such as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Jack Roush Jr. leading their respective racing series, the Mustang is constantly proving itself as being one of the most track-able cars in existence.
Cone Killer Delight: Autocross Racing
One of the most enjoyable forms of amateur racing is easily autocross. All you need to compete at an autocross day is some gas in the tank, tread on the tires, and a little bit of cash to cover the entry fee (which is always reasonable). Autocross events offer enthusiasts the chance to put their cars to the test to see how they stack up against other cars, but more importantly they give drivers the chance to become more familiar with how their car handles—seat time is one of the most valuable things you can get when it comes to racing.
Autocross events are typically set up in large, open parking lots with cones serving as course guides. When signaled, racers try to make their way through the cone course in as quick a time as possible, while avoiding contact with all cones as they equate into added seconds onto your timed run. One run through the course is usually fairly short (under three minutes), but you will have several runs throughout the day.
What You Need For Autocross
Competing in autocross isn't about having big power or a ton of work done to your Mustang. It is about being able to make a smooth and swift pass through the course; your "driver mod" will play a large role in your autocross experience. With that said, there are certain things you can do to your Mustang to improve your times as well as your overall experience. For starters, a good set of tires and wheels will take you quite far when it comes to autocrossing. Having a tire with the right amount of grip will allow you to corner and handle much better. A set of Nitto Invo tires are a great option for someone who sees daily driving as well as the occasional autocross day on the weekend.
To take your Mustang to the next level at an autocross day, you will want to modify the suspension. An aftermarket set of shocks and struts like those offered by Koni will greatly improve your handling when paired with a set of lowering springs. Throw in a Whiteline Panhard Bar and you will be tearing up the course!
Sliding Into First: Drifting
In the post-2000 years of racing, drifting went from being an off-the-wall niche sport to being one of the largest motorsports around. What many thought was going to be a fad quickly exploded into a staple of racing. Competitors will lap around a track with the intention of getting sideways around each turn, coming as close to the edge of the track as possible, while also throwing off clouds of smoke during the drift. Drifting started out as a sport dominated by small displacement import cars, but over time it has been invaded by large displacement domestic cars, with the Mustang leading the way.
From the Professional Drift circuit with Vaughn Gittin Jr to the Pro-Am circuit with Chris Allen, the Mustang has proven itself to be one of the most competitive platforms in drift. Amateur drift days that take place at your local track are no stranger to the Mustang either; Foxbodies and SN95 'Stangs can be a common sight at smaller events like these. Vaughn Gittin Jr. was even quoted as saying, "the Foxbody is the best kept secret in the drifting world," but it is hard to say just how much of a secret it is anymore.
What You Need For Drifting
Like autocross, a proper drift requires a good set of wheels and tires (and plenty of them). Mickey Thompson's Street Comp is a great tire that will allow you to really throw the rear of your Mustang into a turn for a nice smokey drift. A set of adjustable coil overs like those offered by KW will allow you to really dial your suspension in, giving your Mustang a huge boost in handling performance.
One of the most important things in a drift car (arguably any car) is predictable handling. To make your handling more consistent and refined, consider adding Whiteline's Watts Link setup. A Watts Link setup will keep your axle centered for the best possible handling, making each drift consistent and repeatable.
First One to the Top: Hill Climbs
For almost as long as the automobile has been in existence, racing has been in existence; one of the earliest and oldest types of racing is hill climb events. Hill climbs are fairly self-explanatory given that they are a timed run from the base to the top of a hill/mountain and are sometimes done in stages or segments.
Competing in a hill climb requires that your vehicle has been diligently prepared and that the person in the driver seat is mentally prepared. Amateur hill climb racer and Time Trial Novice Instructor Steve Lewis, who competes with a 2004 Procharged Mach 1 said, "Everyone should start out with autocross to learn car control. Competing and being successful in hill climb events hinges on understanding car control." Entering into a hill climb event should not be your first racing experience — getting a good bit of seat and track time at autocross and other events will help you maximize your fun as well as your safety.
What You Need For Hill Climbs
Following the trend with what has been mentioned previously in this article, one of the biggest things you will need for a hill climb event is a set of wheels and tires. Nitto's INVOs are a great tire option that will have you gripping the road like glue. A set of KW coil overs will provide you with a lot of suspension adjustability that will allow you to get your setup dialed in perfectly.
To help take your handling to the next level, an upgraded differential will give you much better car control and handling, as well as take some extra abuse. Ford Racing's T-2 Torsen Differential will maximize your performance by making sure you are always putting the right amount of power to the ground, or in this case, hill. With hill climb races not leaving a lot of room from course errors, your brakes become even more important than they were to begin with. A big brake kit like Wilwood's is the perfect option for any upcoming hill climb racer.
From Reader to Racer: Getting Experience
While drag racing will continue to be an incredibly enjoyable highlight of the Mustang's power and performance, there are other options out there for you to explore that can be just as enjoyable. Finding and getting involved with events like those listed above is as simple as hopping onto the computer and doing a quick internet search. Find an event, get some seat time, and modify your Mustang to get the most out of it. Taking your Mustang and pushing it to its absolute limit is one of the most rewarding things you can do, and something every Mustang owner should do at least once.

After preparing so many things for my wedding day, I have taken a minute to stop and ponder on what is truly happening. It's humbling and a sweet joy to get to know more of my Heavenly Father and His Son through this process.
Many of you may know the life I led from four to twenty-four years old. It's dark, confusing, traumatic and seemingly hopeless. Thanks for the angels on earth who helped me walk away from that, I learned how to turn to Heavenly Father without resentment and pain.
Learning to keep my chin up and keep running has changed my life. I'm not the best at it but I sure do try. I've fallen quite a bit, that's for sure. And many of those were doozies where I thought there was no repair good enough. Not only did I learn that is not true, I learned that I'm still being blessed through it all. When I look back, I see that Christ never turned His back on me; He never pulled His hand away. He held me and consoled me. When I was at my worst and made mistakes that I feel I shouldn't have, He was there even when I wouldn't forgive myself, crying with me, holding me and helping me back up.
Through all the falling, Heavenly Father helped me live a miracle--finding a man who found me right back. The simplest prompting followed and I knew Spencer would be a part of my life. A few more promptings and I knew Spencer could be The One. I've still fallen along the way but that never changed His help and I continued being blessed and guided and I got back up again. This time, I had my best friend and man of my dreams running right with me.
Why am I so blessed through all my mistakes and failures? Why am I this lucky? It's something I ask myself whenever I see Spencer looking back at me. Then the answer comes: Christ made this possible because He loves me and knows who I really am and has made it possible for me to get back up and become that person. Now I get to become that person with this miracle and blessing by my side.
I never would have thought, five years ago or earlier, that I would be preparing to marry the greatest friend I've ever had and the man of my {most ridiculous, long-shot} dreams in eleven days. I know this is a blessing from God because He was the one who helped me find this miracle. It wouldn't have happened without Him and I know this special day will be the greatest day of my life. Together, Spencer and I will continue to fall, get up, dust it off and keep running to become something greater. That's The Plan. I'm seeing more and more how sweet, fun, surprising, merciful and happy That Plan is and how welcome I am to live it.
There are no words that can be expressed (and it's silly to be on a blog) so, from the depth of my soul, I say, 'Thank you.'

Miklos Radnoti`s songs from the grave
(A Wiser, More Beautiful Death, Miklos Radnoti, translated by Solomon Rino, Editions Michel Eyquem 2011, paperback, 43pp, $15)
"In Abda, Hungary, a mass grave was exhumed in 1946 and the corpse of Hungarian poet, Miklos Radnoti, was found. In his raincoat pocket was a notebook containing his final ten poems. Written not in memory, but in the labor camp and on the proceeding forced march, the Bor Notebook was to become an invaluable Shoah document."
So begins Solomon Rino`s translations of these memorable poems in a reverent and elegant bilingual edition.
The Nazis in their mad zeal for ethnic purity murdered symphonies, poems, paintings, inventions, the future of civilization, supplanting it with hack, derivative surrogates, and foreshadowing a nativist impulse which today in America disguises itself in phony issues.
A poignant thirst for consciousness, for a higher awareness, characterizes this stanza, a complete poem appearing on page 19:
Bloody drool hangs from oxen`s mouthsWe urinate bloodThe company stands in stinking wild knotsDeath blows hideously overhead
I call this courage of a high order, this unyielding quest for comprehension in the jaws of death. To his very end the poet seeks to understand what is happening. He seeks to describe it. But it dies with him, in his bloody raincoat, only to emerge later and arrive in our minds as a gift from the grave. The poet stands for the creative thrust, the light-giving aspiration to ennoble what the mind touches, while his murderers stand for the angry, nihilistic impulse that motivates every schoolyard bully and lying politician.
In this way, this small, exquisite volume is a monument to our alchemical history, the great yearning of man to transmute lead to gold, which is really a metaphor for the transmutation of the human soul, for the ennoblement of the spirit.
Radnoti`s poem, "Letter to My Wife," begins:
Deep silent worldsHow in my ears, I shoutBut no one replies from farSerbia swooning in warAnd you are distant.
He never saw his wife again, nor did the young Turkish officer who died at Gallipoli with an unsent letter to his wife in his pocket, which begins with this heartbreaking salutation, "High-born lady, Rose of Dawn." A British soldier found it and was as moved as we are today by these letters. Such words make us ashamed for each other, that we concoct base, transparent reasons to make war.
Radnoti`s poems reveal a close study of modernist tendencies, such as the occasional abandonment of punctuation and an unparsed rhetoric that makes way for greater clarity and potential meaning. He understands when silence and ambiguity speak volumes, and there seems to be an awareness of the work of C.P. Cavafy and the uses of the conversational mode. I suspect, judging by the typography, that Radnoti is somewhat more modernist in the original Hungarian than in this English translation.
The poem, "Forced March," gives us the book`s title:
The fallen man who stands and walks again, is a fool.Moving ankle, knee wandering in painRising as if winged.The ditch calls in vain he dare not stay.If asked, Why not? He might answerHis wife waits and a wiser, more beautiful death.
It also gives us a clue to the questions raised not only by the translator but the poet himself. Why, why persevere in the shadow of indescribable doom? For the same reason Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin did, to make music, all they knew how to do well.
"Through this book," Rino writes, "I hope to generate greater empathy with Radnoti, not as a victim or quirk of history, but as an avatar of poets, who at the gravest moment in his life went as Celan did, `with his very being toward language.`" I think Rino succeeds in this ambition.
Djelloul Marbrook`s first book, Far from Algiers (Kent State University Press, 2008) won the 2007 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize and the 2010 International Book Award in poetry. Artists` Hill, an excerpt from his unpublished novel, Crowds of One, won the 2008 Literal Latté first prize in fiction.

The "retake all improv for this character" option is very useful. It would also be great to have a "retake improv for all characters" option in that same menu. I know we can enable and disable improv for all characters, but even when doing that it doesn't regenerate all the improv it just toggles on or off the previous improv set. It'd be useful for handling larger numbers of characters.

A dominant performance from Whitby Town could only earn a point, with defensive woes ending hopes of three points, in a 2-2 draw with Sutton Coldfield Town.
David Carson opened the scoring on twenty minutes, before Lee Smith equalised just ahead of half-time.
After the break, Marcus Tudgay gave the visitors the lead, with Carson equalising just eight minutes later.
Chris Hardy made one change from the side that lost to Shaw Lane midweek, Carson replacing Kieran Weledji.
The hosts took the lead on twenty minutes, David Carson winning a 50-50 with Mason Springthorpe and walking the ball into the empty net.
Whitby's biggest defensive problems have come from balls into the box and it came back to haunt them yet again.
A corner kick was fumbled by Shane Bland into the path of Lee Smith, who poked the ball through a sea of blue and over the line.
The Blues' defensive woes continued into the second period, Niall McGoldrick miscontrolling a Sutton ball forward allowing Tudgay to nip in and finish past Bland from 18 yards.
Whitby, however, were undeterred and fashioned an equaliser shortly after.
A ball forward was flicked on by Matty Tymon, finding Carson who timed his run perfectly and chipped over Springthorpe, one-on-one.

LIVERSEDGE face an FA Vase replay in Wigan tonight (Thursday), after last Saturday's original first round proper tie against Ashton Athletic was abandoned after 70 minutes with the home side 3-0 up.
Liversedge had failed to cope with the North West Counties League Premier Division side for much of last week's game and were on the verge of being eliminated when conditions from Storm Brian forced the referee to abandon the match.
Sedge now return to Brocstedes Park, in Wigan, for tonight's re-scheduled game.
Sedge manager Jonathan Rimmington admitted his side were poor in the first half last week and Ashton proved clinical as a brace from Dale Korie-Butler put them in control at half-time.
Josh Nicholson added a third goal after the break and it appeared Liversedge's venture in the Vase — which had seen them beat Prestwich Heys 2-1 and Hemsworth Miners Welfare 3-2 after extra time — was coming to an end.
However, the storm worsened and when torrential rain left the pitch unplayable, the referee abandoned the game and the sides will try again tonight.
It means Liversedge now face the prospect of playing three games in the space of just six days.
Penistone Church will visit Clayborn in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division on Saturday, before they entertain AFC Mansfield next Tuesday.
Cup commitments mean Liversedge have only played 11 league games so far, the fewest of any Premier Division side, and they will be looking to climb the table with home wins over the coming days.
Penistone Church arrive lying 18th in the table and without an away win so far this season.
They have lost seven and drawn one of their matches on the road and Sedge will be hoping to cash in with a third home win of the season.
AFC Mansfield were looking like one of the Premier Division title challengers this season but suffered their first defeat of the season on Tuesday night when they went down 3-2 at leaders Pontefract Collieries and they remain fifth in the table.

Al-Jazeera TV suspends work in Iraq after ban
The operations was suspended after Iraq banned one journalist and asked another to leave the country.india Updated: Apr 03, 2003 17:17 IST
Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite television is suspending the work of its journalists in Iraq after authorities banned one correspondent from working and asked another to leave, the station announced early on Thursday.
Al-Jazeera "has decided to suspend, until further notice, the work of all its correspondents in Iraq" after the information ministry informed its office in the Iraqi capital of the ban on Baghdad-based correspondent Diyar al-Umari and the request for Tayseer Alluni to leave the country "as soon as possible," it said.
The station, "which regrets this surprising and unjustified stand," will continue with a minimum service, airing pictures from its offices in Baghdad, the southern city of Basra and the northern town of Mosul, a news presenter said.
Al-Jazeera said the Iraqi information ministry had given no explanation for its move.
US officials had criticized Al-Jazeera for allegedly presenting a one-sided version of the US-British war on Iraq and for airing pictures of coalition dead and prisoners of war.

Author Richard Matheson, one of the most influential genre fiction writers has died at the age of 87. Along with his innovative work on I Am Legend, he also penned What Dreams May Come, A Stir of Echoes and The Shrinking Man, all eventually saw their way to the big screen. Not only that but he was also one of the original TWILIGHT ZONE screenwriters, writing the classic William Shatner-starring episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". It's safe to say that without Matheson the pop culture world would look much different.
His daughter, Ali, wrote the following on Facebook:
My beloved father passed away yesterday at home surrounded by the people and things he loved…he was funny, brilliant, loving, generous, kind, creative, and the most wonderful father ever…I miss you and love you forever Pop and I know you are now happy and healthy in a beautiful place full of love and joy you always knew was there…

Mike Conway Replaces Villeneuve at Venturi Formula E
Effective today, race-winning IndyCar and Toyota WEC driver Mike Conway will be replacing former Formula 1 Drivers' Champion Jaques Villeneuve for the remaining eight rounds of the all-electric 2015/16 Formula E championship, following confirmation of Villeneuve's departure.
Venturi Formula E Race Car
Venturi is a top team in Formula E so it's great to be able to join them," said Conway, about the move back to single-seaters. "The series is innovative and quite unique. It is quickly growing momentum, and it's attractive to a lot of manufacturers to showcase their technologies. So, it is exciting to be a part of this series."
Conway will partner Stephane Sarrazin in Formula E- who also happens to be his teammate at Toyota in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) series. The powers that be at Venturi are hoping Conway's pre-existing relationship with Sarrazin and the fact that they're already used to driving similarly prepared cars will make the transition from Villeneuve as painless as a mid-season driver switch can be.
Additionally, Formula E features a number of street circuits- which have historically suited Conway in other series. "I have always liked street circuits," said Conway, who has won the Macau Grand Prix, as well as IndyCar street races at Detroit, Toronto, and Long Beach. "They are very challenging compared to a normal circuit. They are normally very bumpy and have different grip levels throughout the lap so they are a lot of fun."
Here's hoping Mike does at least as well in Formula E as he has in IndyCar and WEC- and here's to Formula E, for scoring yet another talented driver in the prime of his career!

At the recent HortNZ Conference….
Coffee breaks are a great venue for catching up with colleagues and acquaintances. Debbie Hewitt, HortNZ Director from Hawkes Bay and Andrew Fenton, HortNZ President and celery enthusiast wanted to have a look at some of my Chinese supermarket photos. And thanks to the iPad, we did not have to troop off somewhere to assemble a laptop (so dated), but were able to attend to the matter on the spot.
A couple of further thoughts on the matter of technology. I am writing this entry from Vanuatu, taking advantage of the hotel's hot spot. It's breakfast time – well, in theory, anyway. The holiday makers around me are noisily munching their cereal. The business travellers amongst us are causing a traffic jam, because the iPads have invaded the breakfast table; we occupy the table for longer, the coffee sure tastes good, and I am not going to give up my seat because the hot spot is the most reliable RIGHT HERE. So there.
Did I mention that the iPad was only released last year, that I have never seen anything like this behaviour before and that all the other iPads in action around me are firmly in the hands of Chinese travellers??

Serving at restaurant tables is a trade in my birth country. Young people interested in a career in the industry undertake an apprenticeship, just as someone else would become an apprentice plumber or butcher. One could argue that it should not take three years to learn something as basic as taking someone's order. delivering someone's food and cleaning up afterwards. How many of us though can instantly recall myriads of examples relating to poor servcie in their favourite restaurants, cold food being delivered, the wrong food being delivered, cutlery having been whisked away between courses and not replaced, salt and pepper missing from the table, the waiter's description of the meal bearing no resemblance whatsoever to what was actually delivered…? The list goes on.

The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services released a statement Tuesday saying it believed the agency "reasonably achieved" a deadline to clear the state's backlog of pending food stamp cases.
N.C. Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos wrote in a letter Tuesday to USDA Regional Director Robin Bailey that the backlog was down to 375 cases, including in Guilford County where a previously unknown backlog of 8,100 cases was discovered last week.
"We have made tremendous efforts to meet the March 31, 2014 deadline and have implemented strategies to ensure that the workload requirements are met and families will receive timely benefits," Wos wrote.
The state had seen backlog grow to as high as 20,000 to 30,000 food stamp cases with families waiting for weeks and months following the troubled launch last year of a new online-based benefits delivery system called N.C. FAST.
USDA, which oversees the nation's food stamps, or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) called the delays in North Carolina "unacceptable" and threatened in December and January to rescind $88 million in federal funding if the state didn't quickly clear the backlog.
Check back with N.C. Policy Watch tomorrow, where we'll have a more extensive article about the food stamps backlog, new budget concerns and interviews with some affected families.

[Solved] Using QML with c++
I'm trying to write a QML app that uses c++ logic. I was using this link to learn "http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/5.0/qtquick-applicationdevelopers.html":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/5.0/qtquick-applicationdevelopers.html , but know it's broken.
I'm doing it in my free time, and fiding hard to find a good documentation. Is there any equivalent new link in the docs that I'm missing ?
Basically I'm trying to do things in small steps, for now I have calculator with buttons and a TextField, when pressing a button, I want to get the text fom the TexField and send it to c++ object method to calculate the value.
I am also checking this tutorial "http://kgronholm.blogspot.pt/2010/10/qt-quick-game-programming.html":http://kgronholm.blogspot.pt/2010/10/qt-quick-game-programming.html , but I not sure if this is oudated and using deprecate stuff.
sierdzio Moderators
The bridging between QML and C++ is roughly the same in QML 1 and 2, so it's pretty safe to use old material.
Here are some links:
- "extending QML":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-extending.html
- "using QML bindings":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/4.8/qtbinding.html
You can always use local Qt docs, too, they include all those pages (Qt Creator's Help or Assistant).
Thanks sierdzio. That's the links I was looking for.
Qt5 docs are going through another restructuring, it appears.
The new snapshot link is:
No guarantees that the doc team won't change the location again, though, prior to the final release.

For so many, yes, it is important. In South Korea today, North Koreans are herded together and placed from a "special" native. Their churches are separate. Their lives are suspect.

Stomachs are fuller, trappings are nicer, but the interior separation will continue.

Megatsunami (also known as iminami (斎波?, "purification wave")) is an informal term to describe a tsunami that has initial wave heights that are much larger than normal tsunamis. Unlike usual tsunamis, which originate from tectonic activity and the raising or lowering of the sea floor, known megatsunamis have originated from large scale landslides or impact events. (Wikipedia)
Here's key excerpts:
The Canary Islands Government has raised the alert level for the El Hierro volcano in the Canary Islands (Spain) to 'Yellow', the highest alert status since an unprecedented earthquake swarm commenced in mid-July.
Spanish seismologists, accompanied by the President of the Cabildo de El Hierro and the Minister of Security and Emergency Area, held a press conference on Sunday to reassure the 10,000 residents of the smallest of the Canary Islands that the raising of the alert level does not indicate that an eruption is imminent. They indicated, however, that the number of volcanic earthquakes detected beneath El Hierro continues to increase.
Speaking to the El Pais newspaper during the weekend, volcanologist Juan Carlos Carracedo suggested that an eruption on El Hierro would "not be a major surprise".
He explained: "It is the youngest of the Canary Islands. There is a ball of magma which is rising to the surface and it is stationed at the limit of the earth's crust. At the moment we do not know if that ball of magna will break the crust and cause an eruption."
El Hierro is situated in the most southwestern extreme of the Canaries. The island was formed after three successive eruptions, and consequent accumulations, the island emerged from the ocean as an imposing triangular pyramid crowned by a volcano more than 2,000 metres high.
The volcanic activity, principally at the convergence of the three ridges, resulted in the continual expansion of the island. A mere 50,000 years ago, as a result of seismic tremors which produced massive landslides, a giant piece of the island cracked off, crashed down into the ocean and scattered along the seabed. This landslide of more than 300km3 gave rise to the impressive amphitheatre of the El Golfo valley and at the same time caused a tsunami that most likely rose over 100 metres high and probably reached as far as the American coast.
Possible Tsunami Dangers In The Atlantic
Megatsunami Simulation Videos
If there's ever news of a massive landslide in the Canary Islands, likely in association with a volcanic eruption, the entire U.S. East Coast will have about 6-8 hours to evacuate inland before a potential megatsunami hits which means a tidal wave possibly dozens of feet high. This is a little known natural disaster threat that is now becoming all too close for comfort as a volcanic eruption appears imminent on the El Hierro island that triggered a megatsunami ~50,000 years ago.
Although such a U.S. East Coast megatsunami appears to be a low probability, it is somewhat disconcerting that we are seeing this potentially cataclysmic scenario develop into the Autumn season when mass panics occur as well as the time frame of what may be the end point of the Mayan Calendar.
Even so, my primary concern remains World War Three starting with a conflict in the Middle East.
The main point here is God is establishing that the Creator, not creatures (but 'through' creatures), ultimately authors our world's history.
NOTE that the March 11th Japanese earthquake and tsunami occurred a week before a "supermoon" on March 19th.
Some believe that there is a connection.
This might be relevant in that another supermoon occurred with today's new moon:
When at perigee, the moon is about 18,640 miles (30,000 kilometers) closer to Earth than its average distance of roughly 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers). When perigee occurs during a full moon, the lunar disk can appear about 14 percent bigger in the sky, Samra said.
Tuesday's dark supermoon will be just 222,175 miles (357,557 kilometers) away from Earth.
Some people have speculated that this lunar proximity can have unusual gravitational effects on Earth, triggering dramatic events such as earthquakes.
But the truth is that there's only a very small correlation between full or new moons and seismic stresses, said Jim Todd, planetarium manager at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
"Stronger tidal forces caused by the alignment of the sun and moon may put added stress on tectonic plates," Todd said.
"However, seismologists have found no evidence connecting lunar perigees to heightened seismic activity. Instead the Earth constantly stores up energy and releases it any time the built-up energy becomes too great."
"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea." [Luke 21:25]

A perfect cup of coffee, for some, must be topped with a bit of steamed milk. In U.S. coffee shops, baristas -- who are thoroughly trained to make you a perfect cup of coffee -- employ steaming machines to create the frothy milk. You can do it yourself at home without investing in expensive equipment, though. Steam any kind of milk — whole, 2 percent, skim or soy — the froth will be different for each, so you should experiment to find out which you like the best. Fresh milk froths the best, and milk with a higher fat content will taste sweeter.
Fill the jar with as much milk as you would like to add to your coffee or other hot drink.
Place the lid tightly on the jar, and shake it for approximately 30 seconds to create frothy bubbles.
Remove the lid from the jar, and immediately place the jar in the microwave. Heat the milk on high for about 30 seconds. The froth will rise to the top of the milk.
Place a large spoon inside the mouth of the jar to hold back the froth as you pour the milk into your drink. Then, pour the froth onto the the top of your drink.
Don't fill the jar any more than halfway, so there's room for the froth.

Oh The Saggy Elbows!
Saggy elbow skin is one skin change that can accompany aging. Like skin that may sag on other parts of the body, saggy elbows are a result of the breakdown of collagen fibers and other skin supporting elements.

Israeli Cabinet minister: Iran deal based on 'deceit;' Israel can't celebrate
JERUSALEM (AP) — A senior Israeli Cabinet minister is criticizing the international deal over Iran's nuclear program.
Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz, who is responsible for monitoring Iran's nuclear program, says there is no reason for the world to be celebrating. He says the deal, reached in Geneva early Sunday, is based on "Iranian deception and self-delusion."
It was the first Israeli reaction to the deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to discuss the matter with his Cabinet later Sunday.
Israel believes Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon.
In recent weeks, Israel had warned the emerging deal would give Iran too much relief from economic sanctions without halting Iran's march toward a nuclear bomb.

Russia, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's last Western ally, has offered to broker talks between the Syrian opposition and the government's negotiators in order to put a stop to the 22-month conflict that has killed an estimated 70,000 people, AP reported on Thursday.
The ex-Soviet state proposed to act as power broker, alongside the Arab League, in trying to negotiate a peace settlement. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the Kremlin was trying to establish direct contact between the regime and the opposition.
Syrian opposition leader, Sheikh Moaz al-Khatib, visited Moscow earlier this month, saying he was ready for a dialogue with representatives of Assad's regime.
However his party, the Syrian National Coalition , said talks would only happen on condition that the Syrian president agree to go and that hundreds of thousands of political prisoners were released.
The opposition have been similarly unwilling to engage in the latest Russian-led proposal of talks. Abdelbaset Sieda, a senior member of the Coalition, said: "Assad and his group must go first. After that we can discuss with others in the regime who didn't share in the killing of our people."
