Using Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater to update Flotr graph in both Ajax Window (pop-in) and child browser window (pop-out) simultaneously on IE8
This article describes how to use Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater and Flotr to plot a graph inside Ajax Windows and browser windows (IE8). The same continuous graph that can do 'pop in' as an Ajax Window and 'pop out' as inside a browser window. Throughout the article, I am using Prototype-UI for creating Ajax Windows, ie all the tools used in here are based on Prototype.
Plotting graphs within Ajax windows is easy. However, drawing graphs between Ajax windows and standalone browser windows requires a bit more understanding on both Flotr and IE8. I will show you and explain what went wrong in the first approach that has only worked on Safari and Firefox but failed on IE8 and came up with a second approach which worked in all browsers.

Note on changing Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater parameters
Sometimes you may have a Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater object running in the background and you need to change the parameter of the page.
To do that, simply change the Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater.options.parameters field, not AjaxPeriodicalUpdater.parameters.
var pu = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(element, 'page.php', { method: 'get', parameters: { arg: val, arg1: val1 } }); pu.options.parameters = { arg2: val2, arg3: val3 };
Don't assign options.parameters directly with query string. Do the following instead:
var qstr = "arg2=val2&arg3=val3"; pu.options.parameters = qstr.toQueryParams();
Ajax/Prototype/Prototype-UI: Creating a modal busy screen
While I was developing a web based application, one of the operations took rather long to accomplish. So I was looking for ways to create a modal busy screen with spinning image at the center. Most of them involves quite a bit of code. Then I decided to see whether I can make use of Prototype-UI to create a modal busy page and it works!! Amazingly, it doesn't involve a lot of CSS and Javascript code either. Here are the steps:
Ajax/Prototype/Prototype-UI: How to setup Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater with UI.Window
This tutorial shows you how to create a Prototype-UI window with Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater. Suppose you need to create an Ajax window and the content is constantly updating. My preferable approach is to wrap both the UI.Window and Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater into one object. To combine PeriodicalUpdater with UI.Window together, the PeriodicalUpdater must be stopped when the window is closed. In order to do that, the UI.Window close event handler must be overridden and the PeriodicalUpdater object is visible to the handler.
Ajax/Prototype: Use onComplete to separate Javascript client code from HTML page
Prototype-UI: A quick start guide on Ajax Windows
Here is a short tutorial showing you how to use Prototype-UI to create Ajax windows and control the properties between windows.
There are many window based Ajax frameworks out there in the market, ZK, Backbase, Ext-JS, YUI, GWT, etc. It depends on whether your web application requires to be client or server centric or a bit of both and the complexity of it. They all need a bit of learning curve. Recently, I came across another window based Ajax product, Prototype-UI, which is based on the well known Prototype and Scriptaculous libraries. Prototype-UI is a client centric and it is an extension work on previously known as PCW window library. Read more

Ajax/Prototype/JSON PeriodicalUpdater: A working example – log update on a background process (Part 1/2)
This blog shows a real working Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater example (not just a hello world or non stop show timer). The example uses the PeriodicalUpdater to display a constantly updated log file from a background process running on the webserver. When the process finishes, the PeriodicalUpdater stops itself. Also a simple short PHP script is shown how to launch and check the status of a background process. Read more
How to use CSS SyntaxHighlighter 2.0 with Ajax/Prototype
The default method to use SyntaxHighlighter 2.0 is via SyntaxHighlighter.all() declared in the Javascript section of the main page. What this method does is to register the SyntaxHighlighter.highlight() to call when the main page is loaded. The highlight method then searches for all the <PRE> tags (default configured tag name) and checks any class names containing the 'brush:' keyword. If so, then proceeds with syntax highlighting.

Prototype/Ajax: workaround to serialize forms with multiple submit buttons
I have started learning to use Prototype (Javascript client framework) for a few days. So far I found it very good and saved me a lot of my work in developing webpages. Then I hit an existing bug when Prototype serializes a form with multiple submit buttons. Prototype always serializes the first submit button, even if you click the second button. Read more

Biggest mistakes to be avoided by gamblers
Posted on 18. May, 2013 by admin in Casino Tips
Gambling is the only entertainment mode where players' control over their actions matters the most, perhaps how a gambler reacts in certain circumstances defines his style of gambling. Experienced gamblers are known for their gaming knowledge, but apart from gambling excellence, it is their control over their actions that made them experienced players else they would have been given up much earlier. Though, every online casino frequently issues guidelines for its players about what to do or not, yet it more precisely depends upon a player himself how he takes his gambling. Moreover, there are many gambling advisory portals which guide about online gambling or best strategy to follow by every online player, yet, once in a while, every player tends to do mistakes, mistakes that could cost him his fortune actually. Among many mistakes gamblers do today, here is a gist of three most unfavorable gaming practices usually followed by insane gamblers.
Chasing Losses
Gambling is a game of give and take, when a player losses something, it becomes a win for another, similarly, a player should never ever try to chase his losses, i.e., if a player has reached his defined limit, he should immediately left out the table rather continue trying to win back the lost money. Historically, many players have seen losing everything in their efforts to win their gone back. So, stay away of tracing something you can't bring back – at least at that moment of time.
Taking Alcohol when gambling
Alcohol makes you think differently or forces you to addict with a particular action of yours, like placing uncontrolled bets. Gambling, like any other activity, is badly affected by alcohol especially if a player takes it under pressure of losing something. It is a normal practice to see players taking even more alcohol when they are losing making their mind even more vulnerable; hence be in yourself and avoid alcohol at least when you are gambling.
Limited Wagering
Gambling pros always advise to set a session limit whenever any player logs into his casino account, that means, even if a player has thousands of dollars in his bankroll, he needs to set a limit and if he somehow reaches that limit, he should sign out rather placing more bets. Many casino software programs have this option to set a limit right inside player's lobby, so use this option wisely.

Police said that tweet was followed by another warning a friend to have his family members leave the rally so they would not get hurt.
The Republican presidential hopeful appeared in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Saturday.
Authorities tracked the tweets to a home in Waterbury where they found Morkys.
After determining he did not pose an immediate threat, he was taken into custody and released on US$25,000 bond.

Donkey is a module of a bridging tool developed to establish an interactive feedback loop between structural solver (OOFEM, SIFEL) and geometry modeller (Grasshopper). The goal of the tool is to bring analysis results directly to architects and support their correct result interpretation. Allows architects to evaluate great number of solutions generated in the concept design phase using the scripting techniques. Explore potential of innovative designs and guide architects to intuitively choose potentially more efficient structural solutions for the next design phases.
The tool also changes traditional workflow used in practice and more integrates a structural engineer into the concept design process. It teaches architects to better understand "form and performance" of their designs.
The tool is a result of my PhD research. In the early stage, the project was supported by Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade in grant MPO FR-TI1/568, which allowed to establish interdisciplinary cooperation between Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering. Later I was supported by Sciex – Scientific Exchange Programme NMS.CH 13.260, which allowed me to cooperate with Block Research Group at ETH Zurich and further develop the tool.

Life and Society
All Moonshavians are shaped by the rugged striking landscape and harsh weather. The Ffolk revere the land (and the deity who is the land), long aware of the divine power present in the rushing streams secret pools, and mist-wreathed forests of their isles. The Ffolk adore their home with a deep abiding love hard for other humans to understand.
The Northlanders are less moved by the landscape. Their hearts are turned to the sea, and they tend to be boisterous and outgoing compared to their neighbors. Relations between the two peoples are often strained, even if they are better than ever before.
The Ffolk do not often welcome outlanders. To farmers, outlanders are trouble: brigands, thieves who imperil families, belongings, stock, and crops. To local lords and warriors, outlanders are rivals. If they abide by local laws, they are respected but watched. News from the Sword Coast travels fairly well to the Moonshaes, so the previous deeds and reputation of arrivals color their reception. Heroes may be fully accepted by warriors of the Ffolk as their own. The Northlanders have a stronger tradition of sea trade and travel and tend to be simply curious about visitors from the rest of Faerun.
Major Features
The Moonshaes consist of a handful of major islands and hundreds of smaller islands. Among the noteworthy ones are the following.
Ruled from the city of Caer Callidyrr, the island of Alaron is the most powerful of the Moonshae's kingdoms. The rugged Fairheight Mountains to the north of Caer Callidyrr separates the traditional lowland homes of the Northlanders.
The largest of the southern islands, its northern half was settled by Northlanders from Oman's Isle and the southern part (which became the city of Caer Corwell) by the Ffolk.
The westernmost of the major Moonshae islands is also the wildest of the southern islands. Since the peace between the Northlanders and the Ffolk, Northlanders have taken to raiding the monsters of the Orcskull Mountains that run down the island's spine. Consequently, Moray is a safer place to live and has attracted Ffolk and Northlander settlers.
This rugged, barren island is not properly part of the Moonshaes at all, lying more than two hundred miles north of the island chain. Ruathym is the ancestral home of the Northlanders, the barbarians who colonized the northern Moonsaes and Luskan. Scattered steadings and villages cluster around the isle's fjords and inlets. The largest settlement is the town of Ruathym, a city of five thousand. The Northlanders here have a long-standing feud with the folk of Luskan on the Sword Coast.
Important Sites
Most of the Moonshae Islands boast at least one or two small villages. The major islands are home to dozens of settlements each, often divided by large stretches of rugged terrain. Large towns are:
Caer Callidyrr
(Large City, pop: 21,486): Caer Callidyrr is a leftover of a previous civilization's peak, a mighty castle built on the island of Alaron above a sprawling port city.
Caer Corwell
(Small City, pop: 11,459): The home region of the Kendrick family, occupying the south half of the island of Gwynneth, was the land first settled by the Ffolk. Its rocky shores and high moors make it an excellent place for strong minded individualists who prefer space to neighbors, or for druids who seek worship in the temple of the wild.
Iron Keep
(Small City, pop: 5,730): The strongest fortress of the Northlanders perches upon the northern shore of Oman's Isle. Iron Keep was formerly the most feared and violent of the Northlander's kingdoms. It's still a warlike realm, but its inhabitants' aggressions are spent on other Northlander kingdoms, particularly the isle of Ruathym
Myrloch Vale:
The sacred land of the Earthmother occupies the central portion of the island of Gwynneth to the north of the Myrloch, the island's central lake. Unlike the aspect of Chauntea known throughout the rest of Faerun, the Earthmother of the Moonshaes treasures unspoiled wildlands more than cleared farmland. Only druids and elves walk without fear in this place. The lands' primary occupants are centaurs, pixies, sprites, and the elves of the Moonshaes, known as the Llewyrr. Few of the Llewyrr joined the Retreat to Evermeet, owing nothing to the Elven Court and preferring their life in the Myrlock Vale. Though the Vale is sacred to the Ffolk, Northlanders still fear it as a place of dangerous magic.
Regional History
For centuries, the cycles of history in the Moonshaes pivoted around the struggles between invading Northlanders and the Ffolk. Early in the 1300's DR, the islands' conflicts took on greater significance. The evil deities Bhaal, Malar, and Talos attempted to take possession of the Moonshaes from the Earthmother.
The evil deities were thwarted largely through the heroism of the Kendrick family and their friends and lovers. The Kendricks ascended to become a new dynasty of High Kings and Queens, expanding the High Throne's hold upon the islands and convincing the Northlanders to accord them fealty alongside of the Ffolk.
The last three decades of rule by High Queen Alicia Kendrick (NG female human Ftr6/Drd7 of the Earthmother) and her consort High King Keane (NG male human Wiz18) have been largely peaceful. Alicia and Keane have raised worthy heirs and appear to have founded a successful dynasty. The islands' only significant problem at this time is a growing conflict with pirates from the Nelanther Isles, who are ranging north in search of better haunts. The Northlanders have proven to be excellent allies against the Nelanther pirates, but adventurers from the mainland can sometimes find employment fighting the pirates' deadly wizards.

Gov. Phil Bredesen said this month he will not rule out
increasing Tennessee's fuel taxes if he is re-elected in November. He noted he
has no immediate plans to boost the taxes.
"Having said that, it's obviously a difficult time right
now," Bredesen told the Chattanooga Times Free Press. "And it's
not something I plan to go charging into in the next three months until we get
a better sense of where (fuel) prices are going."
The Democratic governor's comments drew criticism from
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Bryson's campaign. A Bryson spokesman
said the governor first should restore money he has cut from the state's road
fund, but declined to state Bryson's position on increasing the fuel taxes.
"There's no need to start talking about increasing taxes
until the governor restores the money to the road fund," Bryson spokesman Lance
Frizzell told the Times Free Press.
The governor rerouted $65 million from the road-building and
maintenance fund to the general fund in 2003 to help cover a budget shortfall.
He continued the practice in each of the next two budgets, transferring $207
Frizzell would not say if Bryson, a state senator from Franklin, would rule out increasing the state's fuel taxes. The per-gallon tax on diesel is
18.4 cents and 21.4 cents for gasoline.

I have been reflecting this morning on the following quote by Bill Taylor, co-founder of Fast Company magazine: "Leaders who change the game recognize that success is not just about thinking differently from other companies. It is also about caring more than other companies - about customers, about colleagues, about how the organization conducts itself in a world with endless opportunities to cut corners and compromise values. You can't be special, distinctive, compelling in the marketplace unless you create something special, distinctive, compelling in the workplace. Your strategy is your culture."
I agree with this quote on so many levels. Given all my travels since the Spring 2012 From Vision to Action Executive Roundtable and given what was shared last week at the Fall 2012 From Vision to Action Executive Roundtable, clearly success is about caring more than other companies about customers, partners, colleagues and the organization as a whole. Furthermore, I fundamentally agree with the idea that "your strategy is your culture."
Over the last 6+ months, I have been thinking and reflecting a great deal about successful leaders and successful companies. When I step back from the day to day hustle and bustle of work and look at the bigger picture, I notice the following.
First, we live in an era of nonstop disruptions. Right now, there are continual external disruptions to the established order of how things get done. The impact of this constant lack of continuity from quarter to quarter, year to year in systems, service and production has yielded a high level of burnout and cynicism amongst many employees, plus a general decline in a disciplined commitment to the pursuit of excellence.
Second, we live in a world filled with me-too thinkers, and fast followers. With strategy and competitive advantage being so transparent, any and every idea, service or product is constantly being copied, tweaked and/or slightly customized by the competition. There is very little originality in the world of product or service delivery, and there are very few people who want to take the risks associated with being original or unique.
Third, we live in a period where tunnel vision is epidemic. As many organizations rush to solve pressing operational problems and preserve market share in an unstable or deteriorating market, they often experience a loss of peripheral vision, i.e. strategic awareness and understanding, causing them to loose sight of the true underlying factors that created their success in the first place. Using a Jim Collin's metaphor, they zoom in rather than zoom out most of the time.
Fourth, we still live in time of arrogant leaders and naive managers. The actions of these difficult people breed false intensity and emotions because they are addicted to the artificial. Their lives revolve around situational ethics and are filled with vanity and ego blended in with biases and prejudices. These individuals waste relationships and resources while simultaneously focusing on uniformity and conformity to their whims. In short, they believe they are above others.
Furthermore, after all we have experienced since September 2008, there still are leaders who believe that they are entitled to success given all they have achieved to date, and how hard they have worked. To them, success is viewed as "deserved," rather than fortuitous, fleeting, or even hard earned. These individuals believe that their success will continue no matter what the organization decides to do, or not to do. As Jim Collins wrote in his book, How The Mighty Fall and Why Some Companies Never Give In, HarperCollins, 2009, these individuals role model an "Undisciplined Pursuit of More."
So, given this context, how do successful leaders think?
As Reed Hammans noted at the Spring 2012 From Vision to Action Executive Roundtable, successful leaders understand that "information is not knowledge" and knowing is not doing. From my vantage point, I see more and more people are on bended knee worshiping technology as the solution to all problems. And more and more people are blaming technology for not providing for them the solutions they want. Finally more and more people complain about having too many e-mail and text messages than ever before. But we must understand that being successful is less about technology and more about psychology. Human beings are human beings with all of our frailties and strengths.
The first step in understanding how successful leaders think is to recognize that they see problems and the future in a holistic manner, and they examine how different elements impact or interact with each other from a holistic vantage point. Successful leaders do not, by default, break down all problems into pieces and work on them separately or sequentially. As Roger Martin in his wonderful article called, "How Successful Leaders Think", Harvard Business Review, June 2007, notes "Opposable thumbs- opposable minds." Successful leaders are able to see the same problem from different vantage points.
From what I observe and understand, when successful leaders see problems in a holistic manner and understand the dynamic nature of problem solving, they begin by defining the problem, issue or challenge. The key to this process is that they determine the salience of all the factors related to the problem even if it is not in line with their department or organization doctrine, e.g. a head of finance department that considers a qualitative measure to be as important as a quantitative measure.
Next, rather than discard factors to simplify a problem, they embrace the diversity of factors in a problem, recognizing that not all information is accurate and not all knowledge is current.
With the above in mind, successful leaders also analyze the context, people, the variables, and the language around the problem, exploring linear vs. non-linear causality. For example, direct or linear causality is a straight line and sequential development or cause in a certain situation. On the other hand, in-direct or non-linear causality comes from the examination or exploration into non-linear elements impacting what is taking place, e.g. two people in the work place that are struggling to communicate well, each being impacted by external events like the health of an aging parent or a son getting involved in a prank at school.
Once the above has been done well, successful leaders determine the decision architecture related to a problem or challenge. After better understanding a problem and figuring out the variables involved, they then look to what are the decision-making variables, e.g. who?, what?, when? and how?. Then, they methodically examine the decision-making variables and make a decision. After the decision has been made, successful leaders mobilize people and resources to implement the decision.
We live in tough economical and political times. Understanding how successful people think and work through these tough times gives us a road map to a better way. Now is the time to strengthen our culture and our strategy by thinking better and more effectively.

In-your-face production. Cameos from high-profile rappers. A lead single about how, lingering attraction (and proper grammar) be damned, she'd have "one less problem without you." There's lots of newfound swagger on Ariana Grande's "My Everything," which came out Monday, just less than a year after her successful 2013 debut, "Yours Truly."
But perhaps nothing speaks to Grande's empowering ascent from B-list Nickelodeon player to worldwide pop star like the fact that she didn't even put "Bang Bang" on her album. A boisterous mod-soul collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J, that top 10 summer hit is featured as a mere bonus track on the deluxe edition of "My Everything," as though the singer were so flush with material that she could afford to treat sure things like scraps.
Turns out that's more or less the case. As strong a pop record as any so far this year, Grande's second disc keeps offering up delights, from the implied raunch of the looped saxophone lick in "Problem" to the surging dance beats of "One Last Time" and "Break Free" to "Love Me Harder," a darker (and more fully realized) R&B jam than anyone probably expected from a 21-year-old singer once known for her endless supply of pastel princess dresses. She's even got a song that samples "Mo Money Mo Problems" by the Notorious B.I.G. and the song it sampled, Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out."
Like all kiddie-TV veterans working to evolve beyond their squeaky-clean backgrounds, Grande uses the top-shelf tunes here to try out various adult themes, as in the moody "Best Mistake," featuring her maybe-boyfriend Big Sean, and "Love Me Harder," filled with double entendres about rough sex; that one also has a single entendre -- delivered by her reliably creepy duet partner, the Weeknd -- about feeling "the pressure between your hips."
Yet what's truly grownup about "My Everything" isn't the bedroom talk but the confidence with which Grande expresses herself, a real shift from her charmingly tentative manner on "Yours Truly." That record, released while Grande was still doing time on Nickelodeon's since-canceled "Sam & Cat," felt like an earnest experiment; now you get the sense of someone indubitably in it to win it. Basically, she went from "Meet Miley Cyrus" to "Bangerz" in the space of 11 months.
That means more convincing vocals -- check out her unexpectedly throaty tone in "Be My Baby" -- as well as a much wider stylistic path. Where "Yours Truly" stuck fairly closely to the sound of '90s-era R&B (thanks in part to Grande's partnership with the producer and songwriter Babyface, one of that era's principal architects), "My Everything" pulls freely from hip-hop and EDM and the sparkly uplift of songs like Beyoncé's "Halo" and Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone." Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote both those hits, helped pen this album's "Why Try," while Grande's other collaborators include Benny Blanco, David Guetta and, crucially, the teen-pop god Max Martin.
It's partly Martin's handiwork that you hear in "Bang Bang," which climbed a spot this week on the Hot 100 following Grande's performance on Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards. But what leaves an impression is Grande herself, deeply cheerful yet with guns blazing, an innocent newcomer no more.

Selena Majeed was originally enrolled on a traditional classroom-based degree programme, but because her husband's career in cancer genetics require the family to move around, she has to find a college that will suit her family's hectic lifestyle.
In order to complete the last two-years of her Bachelor degree she enrolled on an online degree course run by the University of Maryland University College (Umuc).
The 30-year-old Canadian says being given the opportunity to obtain a degree online has allowed her the flexibility she needs.
"Don't get me wrong it is by no means any easier than going to a traditional classroom, in fact, I find it more demanding," she says. "Having said that, when I pass a class with an 'A' grade I honestly feel a lot more accomplished than I ever did in a traditional classroom."
"Having had this experience has convinced me that I'll go on to complete a Masters degree in the same fashion while being able to balance the demands of my life."
Students like Ms Majeed symbolise the phenomenal growth of online education in America. While virtual education has suffered a great setback in Britain with the recent collapse of the premier UK E-university, enrolment for online courses the other side of the Atlantic has shot up by almost 20% this year; one in ten postsecondary students will take at least one course online.
According to the Sloan Consortium - a not-for-profit organisation of about 700 higher learning institutions whose mission is to improve online education - more than 1.6 million US students took online courses in 2002. More than a third of higher education institutions and 97% of public universities offer courses online.
Eduventures, a Boston-based educational research firm predicts that this year alone, the e-learning market will top $5bn. The boom in e-learning is likely to continue as politicians at both arms of the Congress consider giving online students equal amount of federal financial aid as students on traditional learning routes.
It has not always been smooth-sailing for the American online education market. Many prominent universities have to weather rough storms along the way. Despite its close ties with Wall Street and its long experience of running professional and continuing education programmes, New York University (NYU) was forced to close its distance-learning company - NYUonline - in November 2001.
While NYUonline blamed the failure on the economy, several experts say its business plan was inadequate and that it could not break from its academic roots to operate as a business.
As media spotlights fall on the failure of some prominent virtual ventures, many administrators began to see them as potential dotcom busts. Princeton University for example, hastily dropped out of an e-education alliance with Stanford, Yale and Oxford universities.
But through radical rethinking and good strategies many universities have managed to turn things around for the better.
Online programs at traditional universities like Umuc and the University of Massachusetts (Umass), which had built organically on existing distance-learning programmess, are quietly booming as not-for-profit ventures.
At Umass for example, revenues and enrolments have grown 220% and 143% respectively since 2001, making $14m in the process. In the 2004 academic year, online programmes conferred 151 degrees with students from all over the United States and around the globe.
"Fortunately, UmassOnline did not make the mistakes made by other universities," says David Gray, the CEO of UmassOnline. "What really failed for those "experiments" was the notion of running them as spin-offs for profit, separate from the university."
Mr. Gray believes successful online institutions succeed because they know their core competencies, and that it is enterprises that go outside these competencies that usually experience disaster.
"Online programmes are easier to sell when they are closely tied with a particular university. Students want a degree programme, a community of peers and alumni, and a reputable institution's name on their diplomas and CVs."
When he was the dean of NYU's school of continuing and professional studies, Gerald A. Heeger created the idea of NYUonline. He is now responsible for running the award-winning online education arm of Umuc, he says the lesson learned from the failed programme is that successful development of online learning requires an enormous amount of "institutional learning".
"About how one works with students in a distant format, about how one works with faculty, about the pedagogy of online. The transition to becoming an institution which provided the courses, educational and administrative services that comprise the modern university education online is a very difficult one. Umuc has worked very hard at this and it is still a challenge."
The man now running virtual education at New York University is Dr. Robert Manuel. He explains how when he took over he had to rethink the university's approach to offering higher education online.
"We touched on the need to conceive a new experience. Many of the things that make up a good campus experience were replicated online. We conceived this experience from the students' perspectives by breathing a lot of humanity into our courses."
Dr Manuel says NYU moved from a technology-focused solution to an educational solution supported by technology. For instance, the university took Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and integrated it into its teaching programmes so that students can communicate conveniently at any time with academic staff and their faculties.
That change in strategy is already bearing fruits. According to Dr Manuel, student retention rate is now 90% and enrolment on virtual graduate programmes is growing rapidly.
"We also provide regular training for our lecturers, faculty staff and students so as to enable a better online education experience," he added.
As the technologies that support distance education mature and become widely embraced, experts say the focus on the tools and the geographic distance at which they are utilised is likely to decrease.
"Over the next five years, it wouldn't surprise me to see the term "distance education" fade or morph into "distributed education" or perhaps simply "education," says UmassOnline's Mr Gray. "Our fascination with the web as an exciting new medium for learning and collaboration will most likely give way to seeing it as a common utility that people make use of routinely."
Testimony to this is the fact that online courses at universities like Umass and Umuc allow students to log on when it is most convenient to participate in a class, their fellow members do not have to be online simultaneously.
Mr Gray says in order to attain the similar level of success reached by American virtual colleges, British universities need to recognise that community needs, cost containment and generating revenues are the universal benefits of online programmes.
"My advice is stay true to your values and institutional mission so that the goals for your virtual university are compatible with your traditional institution," he says. "You must stay attuned to and aligned with the market-place."
NYU's Dr Manuel enjoins British universities to understand the difference between online and classroom-based education and then find ways to create necessary support for their staff and students.
"These supports are different from one another," he says. "You especially need to provide adequate support for students so that they do not feel isolated."

A set of new spots and striping has appeared at the zoo with the birth of an ocelot! A single kitten, seen here at 3 weeks old, was born on January 15 to 10-year-old mother Bella and 15-year-old father Brazil.
At this early stage, keepers want to minimize disturbance and physical contact outside of quick health check-ups to give the new family time to naturally bond. So for now, the mother and kitten are off public view in a dark birthing den and keepers are monitoring their progress via infrared camera. Here's a peek at some of the black and white footage from baby's first few weeks:
Where's dad? Like in the wild, mother ocelots care for their young alone. Brazil is keeping his distance and can be seen on exhibit in the award-winning Tropical Rain Forest. Curator Mark Myers tells us that Bella, an experienced mother, has been providing excellent round-the-clock and protective maternal care. The kitten is nursing regularly and has a healthy, round belly.
Part of the Ocelot Species Survival Plan, this birth is significant to help sustain genetic diversity for this endangered species. In the wild, the endangered ocelots continue to lose ground with their ever-shrinking habitat and the black market pet trade. At Woodland Park Zoo, the ocelot kitten will play a very important role as an animal ambassador to help connect visitors to the wonder of these beautiful animals and inspire them to take action for their protection.
It will likely be at least another month and a half before the kitten and her mother go on public view. Until then, we'll post updates as they come in. Be sure to subscribe to our blog feed to keep up with the story or follow along on Facebook.
Want to help support Woodland Park Zoo and the care of our animals? Text WPZ to 20222 to donate $5 to the zoo today. Messaging and data rates may apply. For details visit www.zoo.org/text2give.

Kmart Superfan Gets A Store Logo Tattoo WHERE???
An Aussie mum who is a self-confessed 'superfan' of K-Mart has shown her ultimate support for the chain of stores by getting a tattoo of the famous logo on her ankle.
The woman has posted these images anonymously to a Facebook fan page called Kmart Unhacks & Roasts, as a tribute to her lifelong "Kmart addiction."
"So I know I'll get bombarded by Negative Nancys, but this happened today and no, I'm not regretting it and I won't regret it,"
"The story behind getting this tattoo… my Kmart addiction, which started back when I was little and would go with my nan shopping at Kmart and having lunch at [the cafe] once a week, good times," she continued.
"Still to this day I'm addicted [to] going to Kmart every chance I get."
"There's so many Kmart stories over my 35 years, so many memories behind this one tattoo…"
The unnamed woman says she was initially scared for a year to get the tat, and was told by others that she "would chicken out."
Now, she proudly declares, "It's done" and "I'm not regretting it one bit."
While now happily celebrating her unique new ink, she says that the work of art isn't finished yet.
"I go back once this is healed to do any touch-ups needed and to add the 'addict' part," she said.
"Others will look at me and go 'you bloody idiot why?!?' But I will continue to smile and say 'because I can,'"

Agent speaks out on Chelsea's move for Italian international striker
JUVENTUS star Simone Zaza has not been approached by Chelsea, according to the striker's agent.
Simone Zaza has scored seven goals for Juventus this season
Zaza joined Juve in the summer, but has only made 18 appearances for the Turin club this term, scoring seven goals.
Antonio Conte, who is expected to be announced as the Blues new boss, is reportedly keen on bringing the 24-year-old to Stamford Bridge.
But the Italian international's agent, Christian Maifredi, has admitted the Blues are yet to make an official move for the forward.
"I learned from the press about the approach of Simone to Chelsea," Maifredi told TuttoJuve.com.
"I have nothing to declare, they are only rumours at the moment.
"It's nice, of course, the approach to this great club but there are still a dozen games with the black and white jersey, which is the shirt that Simone is very attached.
"Then it will be the end of the season and there will still be the European Championship.
"If there will be a need, only after all this, will we talk about market."

Our Ethics for Children Program focuses on development of the moral reasoning process, something our children can use in myriad ways every day. Through stories, discussions, service projects, field trips and art activities, we encourage the exploration of ideas and issues in a safe, inclusive environment. We also encourage FUN! Visit the Young Ethical Explorers blog here!
The Goals of the Ethics For Children Program are:
- To explore values such as integrity, honesty, responsibility, courage and commitment.
- To affirm the value and uniqueness of each individual.
- To promote knowledge and celebration of the diversity among people.
To inspire social responsibility towards individuals, groups and our environment.
To develop a child's identity as part of a community.
- To learn about those ethical teachings which are common to the world's religions.
We take a respectful view of all belief systems and children are encouraged to share their family traditions. Children in the program are occasionally asked to participate in Society celebrations such as the Winterfest and Founders Day.
Though it is not required, please consider the benefits of becoming a member. More important than the reduced fees for this program and other activities and programs at the Society, you become part of a supportive community.
Coming of Age
Families of NYC youth are invited to enroll their children in our coming-of-age program, whose guiding principle is to provide a safe and creative environment and grounding so that every individual can blossom within community. Coming-of-age is traditionally a young person's transition from childhood to adulthood. The age at which this transition takes place varies in society, as does the nature of the transition. It can be a simple legal convention or can be part of a ritual as practiced in many societies and religions. In our diverse community, we welcome young people who are looking for an opportunity to mark their life-path with a process and celebration focused on self-inquiry and world awareness, personal responsibility and community service. In recognition that children mature at different rates, the age range is relatively wide. We meet with children and parents to determine when a child is ready. The curriculum is geared to the needs of the individual and family. With a humanist anchor, we will explore a world of ideas and values together. Go to our Coming of Age Blog for more details.
Teen Ethical Leadership Program
Teens are especially social beings and need safe and creative environments in which to experience relationships. NYSEC offers that opportunity to NYC teens in a number of ways. In the larger Ethical Culture framework, teen gatherings are referred to as YES for Youth in Ethical Societies – or "Yes, you can make a difference!" Once a month, on first Sunday afternoons, teens meet at NYSEC. Monthly Friday evening activities will start in October. They are also invited to attend Sunday morning community gatherings at 11 am and join members for lunch. By arrangement, we also welcome teens to act as helpers for our Sunday morning Ethics for Children programming, thereby earning high school community service credits.
Other opportunities include:
- Enrolling in our coming-of-age program
- Organizing a social justice Deed Club in your school
- Joining NYSEC members in ethical action projects
- Fields trips
For more information go to our Ethics For Teen Leaders Blog
Parenting Programs
As the world becomes a more complicated place, it becomes even more important to ground our children in ethical values. NYSEC offers periodic programs for parents. These sessions provide a safe place to discuss parenting challenges; offers coaching and guidance; and creates a unique support system.
Parenting Issues is usually offered on Sunday Mornings.

I'm trying to write a function that calculates a normal map from a bump map, and am using http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/filters.html#feDiffuseLighting as a guide. Unfortunately, the normal calculation requires me to multiply by the function I(x, y), and nowhere defines what function I is. Any ideas? How can I perform the Sobel gradient? Also, why does the SVG Sobel calculation appear so much more complicated than other versions I google? Mark McKayReceived on Wednesday, 3 May 2006 20:07:27 UTC

Safety begins with choosing the right tool for the job and selecting your materials well. Different blades have different uses. Blades for Forest Craft include knives, saws, axes, and more. Each of these tools serves their own purpose. Get hands-on, project based experience with tool selection, grips and cuts for each class. This 4hr class runs as a 3-session series over consecutive weekends.
Wood Carving: Knife and Axe Basics

The capital issued blue alert for strong winds on Sunda
with five suburban districts of Tongzhou, Yanqing, Changping, Huairou and Shunyi upgrading it to yello
w alert later. These areas were hit with strong winds as high as 8-9 grades, with gales reaching 10 grade
at some places. According to forecast, the wind could still be as high as 7-8 grades on Monday.
The gale toppled a wall near Dongzhimen Bridge in downtown Beijing, hitting three pedestrians,
two males and one female. Two of them died at the scene and one at hospital, Dongcheng District said via Sina Weibo.
Food delivery service Meituan said one of its deliverymen was hit and killed by a fallen tree when delivering food.
The speed of wind reached 10-15 meters per second at the Capital International Airport starting from 10 a
m Sunday, with gales as fast as 20-25 meters per second, the airport said. Due to the strong wind, th
e operational ability of the airport dropped and remained low until 7 pm Sunday.
Huawei has said that it is willing to sign a "no-spy" agreeme
nt with countries that commit to its equipment. And this may po
nt to a reasonable solution as it offers a way out for international partners in the West, which h
ave been caught in the middle of the US-waged campaign against Huawei, to cooperate with the Chinese company.
The security of 5G networks is a technical issue, and it should be addressed as such. Security prin
ciples should be based on verifiable facts and technical data rather than ideology or a vendor's country of origin.
However, judging by its ill treatment of Huawei since last year, t
he US will continue with its persecution and has no intention of changing its ways.
The victimization of Huawei shows the world's largest economy no longer wants to uphold the core values that govern free trade
and fair market competition. And it is willing to use its superpower status, so that, by hook or by crook, it can obstruct co
mpetitors that might challenge its competitive edge in science and technology.
Meditation is the easiest way for people to reduce pr
essure, and psychological experts say that thinking of nothing is a mental
adjustment for people, which is
good for health as it can reduce the risk
of anxiety and depression by 25 percent, according to Workers' Daily.
If people can't manage their emotions effectively under high pressure, it will
harm their family life, work and social life, experts say.
The suggestion sparked reaction from netizens, with Sina Weibo user
Happy little witch123 asking, "Is it ok if I
accumulate the daily five minutes and me
ditate a hour on one day?" A WeChat user named yuenyuen said, "I'm not
bragging but I can meditate for a whole day."
Just 20 days after the opening of a
museum of broken relationships in Taiyuan, capit
al of North China's Shanxi province, its owner joked that it was turning into a blind date site, thecover.cn reported.
Since it opened to the public on April 25, the museum has received 500 visitors every day, aged between 16 and 25.
The future growth prospects of today's early-stage (that is
lower-income-some growing and others not) developing countries will be of huge importance in red
ucing poverty further. Although these countries face significant headwinds, they could also seize imp
ortant new growth opportunities-especially with the help of digital platforms.
The headwinds are certainly considerable. For starters, advances in digital technolo
gies-robotics, machine learning, sensors, and vision-directly threaten the labor-intensive manu
facturing and assembly upon which lower-income, nonresource-rich economies have traditionally relied.
Moreover, climate change has had its greatest economic impact on the tropical and subtropical regio
ns where most of the lower-income countries are located. The effects of global warming are highly disrup
tive in fragile economies, and, taken together, constitute a major new obstacle to growthle
The operation of the infant ward was suspended, and the hosp
ospital was ordered to solve management problems relating to the case, check on the condition of the surviving babies and console the parents.
A deputy director of the health bureau of the Shunde district of Fo
shan, Guangdong, was also fired, and others deemed responsible were punished.
No new case has been reported in the hospitals that have treated the affected babies.
The provincial health commission has ordered all the medical institutions in the province to check their infection-control procedures.
The viral strain that affected the infants was identified by the commission as Echo 11. It is an intestinal virus to which chi
ldren, especially infants, are susceptible. It is closely related to a respiratory infection.
While educational evaluation has an important role of
f guidance, such roughly generated and lame evaluations cannot objectively reflect the real
conditions of schools, and have severely disrupted education activities, the statement said.
The MOE will therefore continue to regulate such acti
vities in accordance with law and regulations, according to the statement.
The China Earthquake Administration pledged to enhance its earthquake detection c
apability as it rolls out an experimental project in the country's tremor-plagued southwestern region.
The administration has established over 360 new monitoring stations in the China Seismic Experimental Site, which spans Sichuan
and Yunnan provinces, since construction of the project was launched about one year ago, Zheng Guoguang, vice-m
inister of emergency management and head of the administration, told a news conference on Friday.
gdong province, his administration has established a resea
arch institute to accelerate the development of new apparatuses for underground detection that could reduce interference from human activity.
"We will also explore carrying out observational experiments
in wells from hundred of meters to 1,000 meters deep, and through scientific drilling that will p
enetrate active earthquake faults to gain more information about underground structures," he said.
Currently, 13 countries have been involved in the project, includ
ing Russia, Egypt and Algeria, and 17 domestic research teams, including one from U
niversity of Science and Technology of China, have started research on the site, Zheng noted.
The site will "offer research teams with observa
tion equipment, support for outdoor observation and data sharing services", he said.
More nurses sought to treat elderly population
Health authorities will redouble their efforts to train nurses in eldercare as the
proportion of older people in the popula
tion expands and tens of millions of
people struggle with disabilities, a senior health official said on Wednesday.
Jiao Yahui, deputy chief of medical administration and supervision at the Nation
al Health Commission, said there are not
enough nurses to cope with the growing needs of the country's elderly.
A regulation on the training of healthcare workers and standards of service is being drafted.
It is expected to boost the number of nurse's aides, Jiao said ahead of
International Nurses Day on Sunday.
The nurse's aides will complement the work of full-fledged nurses to meet the demand for services for the elderly, she said.
He underscored the importance of information technol
ogy to the country and people, and called for propelling the development of cloud computing, big data, artificial intell
igence and the industrial internet in a bid to advance the building of a digital China and a smart society.
He also said more work is needed to promote the integration and sharing of infor
mation resources between urban and rural areas to narrow digital gaps and unleash the vitality of digital sectors.
Zhuang Rongwen, head of the Cyberspace Administration of China, said enterprises are being encouraged to ramp up inve
stments and make breakthroughs in core technologies, and to make full use of international innovative resources.
Zhuang also called for speeding up the commercialization of 5G a
nd the deployment of the Internet Protocol version 6 network, as well as pushing forw
ard the digital economy so as to cultivate new driving forces and promote high-quality development.
Only toward the end of the last century, global econom
integration-trade, investment and finance-began benefiting large emerging and developing econ

A friend swore to me ten years ago that he would not go to the beach again until he could buy—near the sand—a beer in national currency. His pasty white legs confirm that he hasn't been to the sea for a decade, while waiting to pay for a Cristal beer with his own wages. My neighbor on the corner gave her word that she would not cut her hair before a certain date longed for by many Cubans. Lice made her break her promise at the beginning of the nineties, by which time her hair reached her waist. Recently she changed her strategy and put a glass of water on the wardrobe; she will only remove it when her exiled children can return to live with her.
Tiny wooden houses rest on a tomb in Havana Cemetery. They are the material expression of requests to la Milagrosa, the miracle worker, to provide housing for those who want to escape the paternal home or a crowded collective hostel. Along with these miniatures there are toy planes and boats, to realize the dream of escaping from the insular world to one of natural size. In the same cemetery, to the south, is the tomb of the famous medium who embodied the spirit of Tá José. A rooster, whose head was cut off right there, was offered by some young man who finally achieved a highly coveted position in a foreign firm.
Others are waiting for the miracle of an exit permit, for the release of a political prisoner, or for a license to open a small restaurant. This seems to be the island of impossibilities, the land of unfulfilled promises, the country of offerings withheld, asked for but never received. I myself have sworn that I am not going to stop writing because each of my lines is a prayer from one who can't take it any more, the virtual vote from one who has let her hair grow, put her offering on the marble and seen several glasses of water dry up.

can you tell I'm having a hard time deciding on this?
The good news is the short list is down to two, or three, if simplicity is to still be in the running.
I've tried to get some other people to make the decision for me, but the two different people I asked had completely the opposite responses; one love what the other hated!!
What do you think? Should I just go with simplicity and bugger the fact that it can't be magic linked easily on Ravelry?? I mean, there is knitting beyond Rav after all!!
*I did hear those gasps*
ETA: sorry, I should say the other contenders are :
caboodle (as in the whole kit and caboodle)
eden ( I was thinking of then listing the vest singlet as eden's adam and the dress as eden's eve)
anyhoo, i have decided that regardless of the name I decide on the two people who suggested those two names are the winners!!
so that would be Julia and berniebabe. congratulations ladies!!! I shall be in touch shortly :D
23 comments:
Hey Tikki, sounds like a difficult dilemma, why don't you let us know of the two contenders and let a vote decide. Maybe that could help.ReplyDelete
Good luck with the final decision.
To be honest, I love the name Simplicity and I think I'll always think of this pattern as that. It fits the pattern - simple, yet stylish and effective. Says it all really. :)ReplyDelete
simplicity kind of reminds me of the sewing patterns by same name. What were the other contenders?ReplyDelete
Why not call it Kids/Childs/Mini Simplicity? .. then you have the name you wanted + an easy magic linking name on rav?ReplyDelete
Good luck sounds like a tough decision - would be interested to know what the other names are too :)
I've added the other contenders now :)ReplyDelete
Simplicity is so perfect, but yep as a sewer I do think of the simplicity patterns.
I really like simplicity too - is there another way you could spell it? (I remember a couple of comments with alternatives I think?)ReplyDelete
Good luck making a decision!
I love the name Eden - Simplicity reminds me of the pattern company lol!! Eden brings to mind the start of something wonderful - well mostly anyways *wink*ReplyDelete
Congratulations to the clever chickies with both of the names on your short list.
Eden's Simplicity? ;-)ReplyDelete
I love Eden, actually, and the male and female version...
(btw I love all your patterns, and I still haven't given up on the Milo dress LOL)ReplyDelete
As much as I love Simplicity, I do think perhaps it's overused on Rav :(ReplyDelete
I think even if you called this pattern 'dogsbreath' it would be a hit - and it wouldn't take long for people to get used to it being xyz rather than Simplicity
Congrats ladies. For what it's worth I like Eden :)ReplyDelete
Ooohh yay how exciting to be on the short list to be naming one of your stunning patterns.ReplyDelete
Tough choice cause they all are great names :D
I like 'Eden' with the adam and eve reference... cute!ReplyDelete
WHAT!!! knitting beyond Rav? oh! you kill me lol
definately Eden - Adam & Eve - is perfect!ReplyDelete
I love caboodle!ReplyDelete
Simplicity followed by Eden and man does Lily look good in that orange!!ReplyDelete
I like Eden's Adam and Eden's Eve. Can't wait to get my hands in it actually. I love your patterns, they make this beginner knitter look like she knows what she's doing ;)ReplyDelete
think Simplicity suits the pattern totally, ut love the sound of Eden and it goes really with the type of names your other patterns have though. No help there hey! LOLReplyDelete
What about SimpliciTikki? It still has the impression of Simplicity but has your spin on it ;)
SIMPLEden? ie Simple+Eden? Then you could have SIMPLEden Eve and SIMPLEden Adam if you still wanted to.ReplyDelete
Caboodle... I can't think what but it rings a bell for something.
Good luck - I am not one for making decisions easily either LOL
Simply Eden?ReplyDelete
Such a cute pattern and the tanks have been shown off beautifully in these photos. Gorgeous kids btw.ReplyDelete
I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping you'll still get this comment! I am in love with this pattern (just purchased it!) and the orange/yellow colorway you used in this post is just devine - would you mind sharing the brand and colorway name? Many thanks!ReplyDelete
I did get it!!!ReplyDelete
Luckily I have posts older than 30 days set so the comments go to moderation (eventually I see them).
The yarn in Anchor Magicline, and the colour number is 1404.
You used to be able to pick up Magicline at Spotlight, but now it's quite hard to find. You may be able to get some in a destash on Ravelry.

- Page 1 Samsung ML-4050ND Review
- Page 2 Performance and Verdict Review
- Page 3 Feature Table Review
- Page 4 Print Speeds and Running Costs Review
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £448.30
If you want a laser printer for larger volume printing, it doesn't mean it has to be a lot bigger than lower capacity machines. Take Samsung's ML-4050ND, for example, which has a maximum duty cycle of 200,000 pages per month and top speed of 38ppm (though both figures should be taken under advisement); it's little bigger then machines with half its capacity.
Light grey with dark grey side panels, the ML-4050ND isn't going to break many house style rules; it's inoffensive and suitably businesslike. The conventional design has paper feeding from a 500-sheet tray at the bottom. Yes, we did say 500-sheet, so an extra brownie point to Samsung there, and there's a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray, too. You can also add up to three further 500-sheet trays, giving a massive total capacity of 2,100 sheets, enough for pretty much any workgroup and some departments.
The control panel, to the right of the paper output tray, is simple, but adequate. It includes the usual menu control buttons, one to stop a printing job and one to print a demo page. The final button is marked Toner Save and is a way of turning this function on directly from the printer.
The two-line LCD screen is backlit and set up at a 30-degree angle, so is easy to read. It would be useful to have a status indicator set into the top of this, to make it easier to see across an office if it runs out of paper or suffers a paper jam.
At the back are sockets for USB and 10/100 Ethernet and a wireless adapter is available as an option.
The front part of the top panel folds up to reveal the cartridge slot and the cartridge is a one-piece consumable, which slots in easily. It has a large toner hopper on top, as it's a high-capacity part, which means it won't need maintenance too regularly.
Drivers for both PostScript L3 and PCL 6 are provided for Windows and OS X and Samsung also provide support for Red Hat, Fedora, Mandrake and SuSE Linux, through downloads.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test each product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare things properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.
