Forty years ago muscle cars were the coolest machines anyone could own.
Today computer power is the new horsepower and the 'muscle for Millennials' or the 'zip for generationZ' are smartphones and tablets. Dreadfully, the automakers are keenly aware of this as sales figures show automobiles have waining interest in these demographic groups. So for years, O.E.M.s have been hard at work with tech firms to try and figure out how to bring in-the-cloud connectivity including software updates in apps and services called " infotainment systems " into autos in a way that doesn't lead to distracted driving. Things that were just being talked about five years ago are now beginning to appear and so, the greatest transformation in automotive history is going on right now in the telematics / infotainment industry.
At the Telematics West Coast Conference in San Diego, representatives of Jaguar/Land Rover, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Mercedes, Toyota discussed ways the cloud and the car can be connected and the challenges of delivering the next generation of smart content and services. Across-the-board, O.E.M's have been opening their own software technology centers, and Jaguar's is in Portland, Oregon … but, it's trickier than one might think.
The fast-moving tech industry culture clashes with the slow-mo style of the auto industry — as exemplified by GM Zone Manager Rikk Wilde describing the Chevrolet Colorado as having "technology and stuff" on national TV during the World Series MVP ceremony. Even so, consumers are demanding this technology. Smartphone style access to Apps, maps, and other Internet content has emerged as one of the top five reasons that consumers cite for buying a particular vehicle, say industry experts.
Automakers have responded by embedding wireless chips in cars to power such things as roadside assistance, in-vehicle Wi-Fi and streaming video. Other carmakers rely on drivers to dock their smartphones for in-car connectivity, with certain apps allowed to sync with the dashboard for touch and hands-free voice control. The way smartphone-like technology is presented to motorists, however, is not a uniform platform all manufacturers embrace. That's partly because it takes five years or longer to design a car, while smart-device technology is evolving every five months and "A study says 57% of people surveyed want someone other than O.E.M.s to design the car's ecosystem" says Gartner's Theo Koslowski, VP Automotive ICT.
Meanwhile, both Google and Apple aim to make their technology front and center in the car. Apple has CarPlay, a standard that allows devices running its iOS operating system to function with automobile dashboards. Google's version is called Android Auto. These tech giants aim to provide consumers with a familiar user experience across smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, cars and any other connected device. But carmakers don't want to cede the technology experience inside their vehicles to Google and Apple for reasons ranging from branding to legal liability. "We are the ones who get sued if something doesn't work," said Scott Burnell, a global head of business development at Ford. "Making sure that's the proper content that should be in the vehicle is our highest priority and getting the user interfaces and services right is critical for the auto industry as a whole." "The consumer has a tremendous amount of power in dictating what happens and what doesn't happen," said Zach Brand, vice president of Digital Media for NPR. "Right now, the control rests with the carmakers — unless outside parties are able to mount such a force through consumer demand that the manufacturers must change their position."
Connected car technology will grow to be a very a big market. IHS Automotive, an industry research firm, forecasts the number of cars connected to the Internet worldwide will grow to 152 million in 2020, up from 33 million in 2014. "The car is the quintessential mobile environment. It drives around, and it's global," said Kanwalinder Singh, a senior vice president at Qualcomm who heads the company's automotive efforts. "Consumer expectations are unforgiving that the experience inside the car, including device integration, has to be top of the line."
Automakers are responding by enabling mobile technologies in cars, such as embedded chips that power Wi-Fi hot spots. The technology lets passengers link their Wi-Fi only tablets to the Internet on the road. AT&T and GM announced a change to cellular rate plans that allow consumers to add a connected car for $10 a month. "It uses yourfamily plan, so it's just like any other smartphone," said Singh.
Apps and other smartphone-like technologies in cars have raised concerns about safety. University of Utah professor David Strayer conducted studies with the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety on levels of distraction created by different technology tasks in cars. Using voice commands to change radio stations, turn up the air conditioning or other driving related functions didn't create a high level of distraction, but listening to and composing text or email messages via voice recognition technology — or interacting with social media — did generate high levels of distraction, even higher than motorists holding a cellphone up to their ear and talking while driving, he said. In addition, older/poor voice recognition systems and sluggish syncing can create an unsafe level of distraction for drivers who grow frustrated while attempting to get them to work. "Yesterday's concerns were cellphones. Today's is texting while driving," Strayer said. "But now we are beginning to see things that are really over the top in terms of difficulty for some people to use. "AAA is lobbying the automotive and electronics industries to explore disabling voice-to-text technologies for such things as email and social media.
Carmakers and technology companies acknowledge that voice control systems face background noise and other technical challenges in cars, but they contend that voice recognition is getting better. "Certainly voice recognition and touch screen systems have the potential to both ease complexity in the vehicle as well as add layers of complexity," said Ted Cardenas, a vice president of marketing at Pioneer Electronics. "Every day we are progressing to a more natural interface between the vehicle and the driver, so we are moving forward spawning other services that improve safety. Collision avoidance, through vehicle-to-vehicle communication will be required by government and insurance regulators eventually, according to experts. Right now, connected cars can also acknowledge and react to traffic signals to prevent drivers from running red lights. Apps are out there to help motorists find empty parking spaces by communicating with connected meters and parking structures. Data-driven telematics such as usage-based insurance, based on motorists driving habits, are being explored. Better diagnostics could help avoid large warranty claims. Apps even tell drivers which gas station nearby has the lowest prices and navigate them there. "We had the first generation of telematics, which is still in progress, where the features were focused mostly on safety, security and providing some basic vehicle control functions," said Bret Scott, Chrysler's head of future technologies. "Now we are security and providing some basic vehicle control functions," said Bret Scott, Chrysler's head of future technologies. "Now we are entering this foray of providing infotainment content and other forms of entertainment and news. Maybe down the road, vehicles will be "cooler" than smartphones and tablets and eventually become mobile super computers on wheels."
They are certainly the most expensive mobile devices a consumer can own. If things go as predicted, cars will on the top of the mobile devise food chain.

If you are luck to pick up this posting on the internet, if you get to read this posting, you'd be the luckiest person on earth! You see, there are a million postings aiming at you by the social and professional media, you'd have to be very smart or psychic to know that my message can REALLY make a difference in your life. I am one of those psychologists who can make the truth of life easy to understand. Let's start:
Human beings can be divided into 2 groups: Rich and poor, smart and stupid, sick and healthy, good and bad, good-looking and ugly, happy and depressed, and so on. These dichotomies are the sign of media banality. There is one dichotomy, thought, that can explain it all – and very few, even psychologists, get it – LEFT and RIGHT personalities! TRUMP vs. SANDERS, NETANYAHU vs. OBAMA, HILLARY vs CARSON, and so on. Here is the grand rule: Everything that you do, all your decisions in life that work or don't work, everything, how to live with others, business relations, and everything about others in your life are made in your mind. If you are a right-wing person (RWP) about 60% of your decisions work and about 40% of your decisions don't work. If you are a left-wing person (LWP) about 40% of your decisions work and about 60% of your decisions don't work. LWP's tend to be poorer, less healthy and more often divorced or in disagreement, but RWP's are not that "hot" either.
Now, how do we identify RWP and LWP? (there are exceptions). RWP personalities believe that if you break the law you should be punished (The Skinnerian Approach) (Saudi Arabia is extreme in that regard). LWP believe that if you break the law you should not be punished (if possible) because you have had a hard life (The Freudian Approach). RWP are NATIONALISTIC, believe that borders, boundaries, frame-work, peripheries, homes, etc. are sacred and must be protected. RWP come into seeing life from being ANGRY. LWP is INTERNATIONALISTIC, believe that borders, boundaries, frameworks, peripheries, homes, etc. are not sacred and belong to everyone less selectively (there are gradations. For example. Doctors Without Borders (DWB, are extreme LWP). LWP comes into life from being FEAR oriented. RWP are anti-paternalistic (helping other ONLY for them to learn how to help themselves). LWP are strongly paternalistic (helping other and take care of them. In psychology they are called The Freudian Left). I think I have given you enough to make identifications. Lets have examples and rules:
the European Union is LWP, their wealth level is low, immigrants are welcome, the society is corrupt and except for Hungary that is RWP, life is not happy and is full of conflict. The Unitied Nation is LWP, it is an inept organization, corrupt and is paid for by the USA which is a LWP society. Israel was LWP and is now moving to the RWP camp which created a conflict with the LWP which is still strong in the country. The split between Israeli society (RWP) and Diaspora Judaism which is strong LWP is increasing! The American election: The Democrats are LWP and the Republican are RWP. If Clinton become president, crime in the USA will affect everyone, socialism will be dominant, the Constitution and the economy will suffer. Wars around the world will increase. With Trudow , LWP, replacing Harper (RWP), Canada will be marginalized, the economy will suffer but closeness to the UN and the EU will increase. If Trump (RWP) becomes president in the USA, closeness with Canada (LWP) and Mexico (LWP) will suffer.
I have given you enough a tool to identify people's personalities and a way to organize your daily life better in business, politics and relationships. Good luck.

Doctor Zhivago is my third David Lean film, after Lawrence of Arabia and The Bridge on the River Kwai, and my second favorite. It's a characteristically visually stunning epic with a grand story and score. There are many beautiful shots, of the actors and landscape, and looking through windows. I'd love to read scholarship on the film's cinematography.
The film won five Academy Awards in 1966, including Best Picture, and it's easy to see why. The script is subtle and, at nearly three and a half hours, still never plodding. Here's the best summary from imdb:
A Russian epic, the movie traces the life of surgeon-poet Yury Zhivago before and during the Russian Revolution. Married to an upper-class girl who is devoted to him, yet in love with an unfortunate woman who becomes his muse, Zhivago is torn between fidelity and passion. Sympathetic with the revolution but shaken by the wars and purges, he struggles to retain his individualism as a humanist amid the spirit of collectivism.
I like Russian literature and what I've seen of Russian cinema, and the period this western film covers is no doubt one of the country's most fascinating and tumultuous. Doctor Zhivago offers a view of that history refracted through the characters' personal experiences. There are characters on each side of the conflicts and multiple ideologies represented, but neither the doctor nor Lara are particularly political (we're told Lara supports the anti-Bolsheviks but never see it). The movie is not a polemic.
The acting is fine (I'm always excited for some Alec Guinness), but my one major criticism of the film is that I don't buy the love story between Yuri and Lara. It's clear Yuri is interested in Lara from first sight, but we don't know why. They fall in love while serving as a doctor and nurse, respectively, during World War I, but we're only told they have through their parting dialogue after a gap in time. I also always find it difficult to continue to sympathize with characters who are cheating on spouses who themselves are sympathetic (though Lara's husband is a non-issue for reasons I won't spoil). We see Yuri struggle with this, but I couldn't care. However, the story doesn't dwell on his angst, and it's not long before Yuri is swept up in the Revolution, against his will.
I'll end with an image from Varykino, the estate in the country boarded up by the Reds where Yuri, Lara, and Lara's daughter find temporary sanctuary (and conceive a child together). It's mostly frozen over, a gorgeous but haunting image. It's also frozen in time, and it's here that Yuri writes his book of poems inspired by and dedicated to Lara.

What do firefighters desire from the next generation of personal protective equipment? Outcomes from an international survey
Published Date:May 29 2015
Source:Ind Health. 2015; 53(5):434-444.

Pubmed Central ID:PMC4591136
Description:The purpose of this study was to investigate smart features required for the next generation of personal protective equipment (PPE) for firefighters in Australia, Korea, Japan, and the USA. Questionnaire responses were obtained from 167 Australian, 351 Japanese, 413 Korean, and 763 U.S. firefighters (1,611 males and 61 females). Preferences concerning smart features varied among countries, with 27% of Korean and 30% of U.S. firefighters identifying 'a location monitoring system' as the most important element. On the other hand, 43% of Japanese firefighters preferred 'an automatic body cooling system' while 21% of the Australian firefighters selected equally 'an automatic body cooling system' and 'a wireless communication system'. When asked to rank these elements in descending priority, responses across these countries were very similar with the following items ranked highest: 'a location monitoring system', 'an automatic body cooling system', 'a wireless communication system', and 'a vision support system'. The least preferred elements were 'an automatic body warming system' and 'a voice recording system'. No preferential relationship was apparent for age, work experience, gender or anthropometric characteristics. These results have implications for the development of the next generation of PPE along with the international standardisation of the smart PPE.

It's the summer of 1974 and 21-year old Dawn Emerson has only three things she wants to do: compete one last time in the Ellensburg Rodeo, win back her ex-boyfriend Ryan, and become the best damn music journalist at Central Washington University. But all her plans are left in the dust when she's contacted by Creem magazine to go on the road with one of her favorite groups, the up-and-coming metal band, Hybrid.
At first the assignment reads like a dream come true. Not only will Dawn land some much-needed credibility as a female music journalist, but she'll finally get to experience life from the other side of the stage, and maybe crack the drunken, enigmatic code that is guitarist Sage Knightly. Instead, Dawn finds herself on an aging tour bus filled with ego-maniacs, band politics and a whole lot of sex, drugs and rock n' roll. When monsters start showing up in dressing rooms and some of Sage's groupies become increasingly strange and dangerous, Dawn discovers the band is not only going places – they're going straight to Hell.
And Dawn has a backstage pass.

The dollar could collapse if Opec officially admits considering changing the pricing of oil into alternative currencies such as the euro, the Saudi Arabian foreign minister has warned.
Prince Saud Al-Faisal was overheard ruling out a proposal from Iran and Venezuela to discuss pricing crude in a private meeting at the oil cartel's conference.
In an embarrassing blunder at the meeting in Riyadh, ministers' microphones were not cut off during a key closed meeting, and Prince Al-Faisal was heard saying: "My feeling is that the mere mention that the Opec countries are studying the issue of the dollar is itself going to have an impact that endangers the interests of the countries.
"There will be journalists who will seize on this point and we don't want the dollar to collapse instead of doing something good for Opec."
After around 40 minutes press officials cut off the feed, which had been accidentally broadcast to the press room.
Prince Al-Faisal added: "This is not new. We have done this in the past: decide to study something without putting down on paper that we are going to study it so that we avoid any implication that will bring adverse effects on our countries' finances."
Iran and Venezuela have argued that the meeting's final communique should voice concern about the level of the dollar, which has recently fallen to new record lows against the euro. They are pushing for oil to be denominated against a basket of currencies.
The greenback also weakened slightly against the pound, although sterling's own recent weakness has pushed it down from $2.10 to $2.0457 during the week.
Nigerian finance minister Shamsuddeen Usman said that Opec could declare in the communique that: "While underlining our concern for the continued depreciation of the dollar and its adverse impact on our revenues, we instruct our finance ministers to study the issue exhaustively and advise us on ways to safeguard the purchasing power of our revenues, of our members' revenues."
Chancellor Alistair Darling will today urge his fellow finance ministers at a major G20 summit to increase investment in oil production and refinement.

Wednesday night we saw the premiere of the new FX drama series The Americans. The show, which has been heavily promoted in the weeks leading up to the premiere, focuses on a pair of Russian spies hiding in plain sight in suburban Washington D.C.
The year is 1980, Ronald Reagan has just been sworn in as President, and we meet Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings who are raising their two young children in a nice neighborhood outside Washington. What no one knows, nobody at all, is that they are Russian spies.
The first episode begins with a bang. Elizabeth disguised as a hottie has been picked up by an American agent and been, shall we say, very complying of his wishes. Engaging in pillow talk, just like all the spy novels, she learns that this man will be meeting with a Russian defector when he comes to D.C Next we are catapulted to a frenetic scene that ends with said defector in Phillip and Elizabeth's trunk in their '77 Oldsmobile.
Over the course of ninety minutes we learn some of the backstory of this couple. Brought in as teenagers and trained to be KGB agents they were made a couple for the purpose of their mission. When Phillip learns that their defector was given three million dollars by the United States he questions if perhaps he and his wife should consider that option. His kids are fully Americanized, they recite the National Anthem and follow American sports, he values them above his mission. His wife, played by Kerri Russell, is more dedicated. Calling herself a KGB officer when she shuns her husbands plan she makes clear that nothing is more important than the mission.
The efforts to place the storyline and the characters in 1980 America are very thorough. With music from Quarterflash, Fleetwood Mac, and, in a scene where Phillip takes his daughter to the mall, Juice Newton, one easily feels like they have been transported. Having been in high school in the time frame of the show I can remember clearly the fears of some people about Reagan and what he might do to exacerbate the Cold War. In the series the Russian spy masters in Moscow are portrayed to have had these same fears.
In having the " heroes" of the show be Russian spies there is a risk. Will viewers have a hard time liking the characters, rooting for them. I think that will not be a problem, certainly since we learned to love Tony Soprano the liking and investing in an antihero has not been a problem.
The show is fast moving, violent, and sexy. Contrasting the spy with the dull yuppie suburbanites is fairly original. Certainly the Jennings blend into the neighborhood very well. It is hard to imagine them ever being detected in their little safe haven. That all changes when the family delivers some brownies to some new folks who just moved in down the street. When Phil asks the Dad what he does for a living and is told that he is an FBI agent, one we know, as viewers, we had seen earlier in the episode,we learn that life is about to get much more interesting.
This series has a great deal of potential. FX is fast becoming the network of choice, outside of the premium channels such as HBO and Showtime of course, and The Americans will increase that perception.
If you are one of those folks who debates investing in a show for fears of it not lasting I would urge you not to worry. This show will be a success and right away has the potential to be one of the best shows on television

Or rather, time developers spend doing screenshots is at least as much "wasted developer time" as it is "saved press guy time".
The developers take a screenshot of the work they are working on, while they are working on it to help show their status/progress. They are not spending hours setting up a scene and taking a bunch of screenshots like you would for promotional content. So no it doesn't cost any real time. The developer did not open up a random animation and take a picture of it, which barely would of taken any time in itself, they took a picture of the animation they were currently working on anyways. People seem to be implying that this sort of thing would take a significant amount of time (hours), which is quite ridiculous.
I don't work on video games but I do work on films and we don't commonly take pictures of our works for PR screenshots nor for handoffs within the team WHILE working on it. For the team, we give them everything we have at intervals. For PR you want it to be good shots. You see, there's a difference between what you HAVE and what you want to SHOW. It's a time consuming task to consider just what you want to reveal and what you want to keep hidden for the time being. That's business. Your benefit is what they don't know.
I'm in video games actually, so I'm honestly surprised with how much confidence PandaLover argues here. Not that it matters as much. It goes without saying that if you just walk in to people mid-work and say "Let's show this exact state to everyone", you're getting some pretty bad-looking results. Which is exactly what using working screenshots for promo purposes means.
Thanks for backing me up.

June 6 we get to see TFIOS hit the big screen and now, we hae learned that another amazing novel by John Green will also be made into a movie...
Deadline announced:
EXCLUSIVE: After completing its adaptation of the John Green novelThe Fault In Our Stars, Fox 2000has made a deal for the 2008 Green novel Paper Towns, and it is working on bringing bring back together not only the producers and the screenwriters for another go but also one of the stars. Paper Towns will be built around actor-singerNat Wolff, who co-stars in The Fault In Our Starsand stars in the upcoming Palo Alto. Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber are going to adapt, and Temple Hill's Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen are producing. The scribes will be exec producers along with Green.
Paper Towns takes place in Orlando, but this is far from a Disney World ride. The protagonist is Quentin, a young man who shared a jarring experience with his neighbor Margo: They found a man who committed suicide. They grew apart, but one night he finds her at his bedroom window, dressed like a ninja. She enlists him in a campaign to get revenge on people who've hurt her. Next day, she vanishes as he is left to ponder the ramifications of the evening. Then he begins getting clues from her and has to follow them. The project originally was set with Mandate and Mr. Mudd, but they parted ways over creative differences. Obviously Green had a good experience at Fox 2000, where Gabler has always been author-friendly.

Spicer out, Scaramucci and Sanders in at White House
New White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, announces that Sarah Sanders will be the White House press secretary, taking over from Sean Spicer who resigned. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Incoming communications director, businessman Anthony Scaramucci, announced that Sarah Sanders will be the new White House spokesperson during a press briefing on Friday (July 21). The news came after U.S. President Donald Trump said in a statement that White House press secretary Sean Spicer was resigning as of August. The resignation ends a brief and turbulent tenure that made him a household name, amid further upheaval within President Donald Trump's inner circle. While not a surprise, Spicer's departure was abrupt and reflected heightened turmoil within Trump's legal and communication teams amid a widening investigation into possible ties between Trump's 2016 campaign and the Kremlin. Parodied memorably by Melissa McCarthy on the "Saturday Night Live" sketch comedy show for his combative encounters with the White House press corps, Spicer became one of the Trump administration's most recognized figures. He invited controversy from the beginning, attacking the news media in his debut appearance as press secretary for reporting what he called inaccurate crowd numbers at Trump's inauguration.

I have a really special idea for next week's Lucky Thirteen. You know how Dallas has spawned several acts that have garnered national attention, such as Tripping Daisy, Reverend Horton Heat, Old 97's, and Midlake? Well, next week's playlist will NOT be about such bands.
The metroplex has also gathered several critical darlings, including Sarah Jaffe, Ishi, Matthew and the Arrogant Sea, and Telegraph Canyon for starters. Again, next week's playlist is NOT about these bands.
What about GOBL perennial favorites like Menkena, Luna Matto, Lovie, The Monco Poncho, Iris Leu, Hendrick, and so forth? Not a single one of these acts will be on next week's Lucky Thirteen.
So then what exactly am I looking for? It's quite simple. I am looking for good new music by acts that I have NEVER heard of. One of my favorite things to do as a blogger is to discover unknown acts. So whether you're a new act for have been busting your rear end in the local music scene with little to no recognition, this could be your chance to be heard. Please email me a brief description of your band (or yourself) along with at least one mp3 (more if you like) to email@example.com. If I like what I hear, you'll be on next week's playlist.
Readers, please repost this article (or a link to it) on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever website you prefer. Tell your friends, neighbors, or even your enemies if you're feeling generous. I want the word to get out about this. It's hard for new acts to get a break, particularly new bands without strong connections to the music scene. This is just my way to try to give some new acts a break, and hopefully breathe some new life into the local music community.

"You don't need that book, right?" she asks at every meeting, at the point where she is supposed to give me yet another copy of Your Rights Under the IDEA.
I don't know how many copies I've received over the years, but I know how many I've read: zero. In case you didn't click the link (I don't blame you), here's a sample.
"As a parent you have a right to be notified in writing a reasonable time before the public agency proposes to initiate or change the identification, evaluation or educational placement of your child or the provision of a free appropriate public education to your child."
I find it hilarious that the first thing this document says is that "in the interests of simplicity, some of the rights have been paraphrased." So in other words, that's their idea of putting it simply. (Though I think they meant the language, not the rights, have been paraphrased, since how do you paraphrase an intangible concept like a right?)
I can do a little better: Before the school messes around with your kid's IEP or changes anything about the way they teach your kid, they have to send you a confusing form letter with a bunch of boxes checked.
Which pretty much illustrates the real problem–even if they are stated simply, the legal rights of a special needs parents when it comes to getting your kid educated are still dizzyingly confusing.
Booklets, form letters and legalese don't make your kid's education better, they just give you a basis for complaining when things aren't working.
When it comes down to it, these are the rights that count:
You have the right to find the people who will be the most capable of understanding and teaching your kid. You have the right to make sure they are the ones who are in charge of her education (as long as you remember to use the words "most appropriate placement" not "best teacher" or "that school with all the iPads").
You have the right to do the research, read the literature, attend the workshops, learn the language and employ all the psychological and Vulcan mind tricks you can to get what you think is best for your child.
You have the right to throw around the terms "least restrictive environment," "inclusion," "research-based teaching methods," and "my lawyer" until you have sufficiently intimidated whatever bureaucrat is causing trouble.
If all else fails, you have the right to be open-minded, get a third party opinion and look at the problem from a new perspective, or
You have the right to sue the heck out of your school or
You have the right to move to a different, more enlightened school district, city, state or country.
You have the right to throw away that stupid booklet.

Product Features
Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Nikon
The Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 EX DG OS APO HSM is a unique lens in the photo industry. Its design is based around high speed superior optical performance. Created for Full Frame sensors, it may also be used with APS-C sized sensors as well. It has an array of technology to guarantee the highest level of image quality. This technology includes a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), an Optical Stabilizer, Inner Focusing and Zooming System, SLD and FLD Glass Elements (FLD has a performance equal to fluorite). The HSM ensures quiet, high speed, accurate autofocusing while the OS allows for use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Super Multi-Layer coating reduces flare and ghosting working together with the SLD and FLD glass elements for maximum correction of chromatic aberrations. An inner focusing and zooming system produces sharper images throughout the entire zoom range. With a large fixed aperture of F2.8 the 120-300 is capable of handling any lighting scenario.
The Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Nikon is a telephoto zoom lens featuring a fast, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. This lens is the first lens designed under Sigma's new Sports line of lenses, making it well-suited for fast-moving subjects such as wildlife, nature, aviation, racing, and other similar situations.
Featuring a dust- and splash-proof construction, this lens is ideally-suited for use in outdoor and adverse conditions. Its design features rubber focus and zoom rings as well as conveniently located mode switches to enhance usability with the lens. A built-in Optical Stabilizer provides a four-stop-equivalent reduction in the appearance of camera shake, helping to enable better handheld usage and low-light shooting. The Hyper Sonic AF Motor provides fast, smooth, and quiet auto focusing for faster performance that also benefits video recording.
This lens is also compatible with the Sigma USB Dock, which allows you to use the Sigma Pro Optimization software to fine-tune certain lens settings to your own shooting needs. The ability to limit focus range, alter the AF speed, and modify the OS system is afforded through this, as well as the ability to easily update the lens' firmware.
- Sports Lens Line
- This lens is the first lens produced as part of Sigma's Sports line, making it ideally-suited for capturing fast-moving action with high precision. Its telephoto-length zoom range and fast maximum aperture make it especially useful for sports photography as well as wildlife, birding, and other fast-paced applications. Also benefitting these shooting scenarios is a wide range of customizable functions availed through the use of the Sigma USB Dock.
- Optimized Lens Design
- Well-suited to outdoor photography, a dust- and splash-proof construction enables use of this lens in adverse conditions. Joint parts, such as the mount, focus and zoom rings, and switches, are sealed to provide this resistance and improve overall durability. Parts of the lens have also been optimally designed for more comfortable use, including textured rings and well-placed switches for more efficient operation. A brass bayonet mount is also used to increase the durability at this connection point, giving more strength and rigidity between the camera and lens system.
- The lens construction integrates two FLD (F Low Dispersion) glass elements and one SLD (Super Low Dispersion) glass element to help reduce color aberrations and sagittal coma flare to improve overall image quality. Lens elements also feature a Super Multi-Layer Coating to reduce flare and ghosting, which helps to improve image contrast and color fidelity throughout the zoom range.
- USB Dock Compatible
- This lens is compatible with the Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning and personalizing certain functions of the lens to fit your personal shooting style. A focus limiter can be set to constrain your lens' focusing distances to suit the distances at which you are shooting. Additionally, this lens features an inner focusing and zooming configuration so the physical length of your lens does not change during use; which greatly benefits the use of certain filters such as a polarizer.
- The USB Dock also allows you to customize the speed at which the autofocus system performs, how active the Optical Stabilizer system is during shooting, and allows you to easily update the lens' firmware.
- Optical Stabilizer
- The built-in OS (Optical Stabilizer) system enables a reduction in the appearance of camera shake up to the equivalent of four stops, resulting in a long lens that can easily be used handheld and low-light conditions. The OS system is divided into two modes; one for general shooting applications, and one that is better suited for panning shots of moving subjects. The OS system can be further adjusted to suit your needs through the use of the USB Dock.
- Hyper Sonic AF Motor
- The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) provides fast, quiet, and smooth auto focusing that is well-suited for use with video applications. This AF motor can also be manually overridden at any time by rotating the focusing ring, giving you the ability to fine-tune image sharpness through manual focusing.

Understanding our Financial Aid Program
Once you are admitted to Harvard, we work closely with your family to ensure you can afford to come here. Because we seek the best students regardless of their ability to pay, we are committed to meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for all four years. International students receive exactly the same financial aid as Americans. In fact, approximately 70 percent of our students receive some form of aid, and over 50 percent receive need–based scholarships and pay an average of $12,000 per year. Twenty percent of parents pay nothing. No loans required.
We follow two key principles:
- Admission to Harvard is need-blind, meaning your financial need will not impede your chances of admission.
- Aid is based entirely on need, not merit.
Our financial aid officers work closely with your family to determine your demonstrated need and your family's expected contribution. For many families, this is between zero and 10 percent of family income. You will also be asked to contribute to the cost of your education through term-time and summer employment.
Eligibility for aid
Our generous financial aid program—bolstered by the Harvard Financial Aid Initiative, which seeks to increase low- and middle-income students' awareness of Harvard's affordability—aims to make Harvard accessible to any student who is admitted.
- Our program requires no contribution from Harvard families with annual incomes below $65,000. About 20% of our families have no parent contribution.
- Families with incomes between $65,000 and $150,000 will contribute from 0-10% of their income, and those with incomes above $150,000 will be asked to pay proportionately more than 10%, based on their individual circumstances.
- Families at all income levels who have significant assets are asked to pay more than those in less fortunate circumstances.
- Home equity and retirement assets are not considered in our assessment of financial need.
Use our Net Price Calculator to quickly estimate your aid package and expected family contribution. You can also visit the MyinTuition Quick College Cost Estimator to see just how affordable an education can be at Harvard and other schools.
Explore Harvard's commitment to economic diversity.
A variety of options
In addition to need–based scholarships, we also offer financing options such as a parent monthly payment plan, various loan programs, and the opportunity to pre-pay tuition for four years at your first-year year rate.
We will also help you find alternative sources of financial assistance, like research grants and student employment in our libraries, dining halls, museums, and academic departments.
Here to help
Our staff is available year-round to speak with you. If your family encounters adverse financial changes, we will also help you submit an appeal for a reconsideration of your award.
Get more details on our financial aid fact sheet.

As an opening note I should point out that english is not my mother tongue and therefore my language may be flawed from time to time. I hope however that this will not affect the credibility of the content of my writing.
Before I attempt to discuss or review any films or tv-series in this blog I feel I need to clarify the purpose of this site as well as the title of the actual blog itself. More precisely, what is a non-submersible unit and what does it have to do with films? The term, in the context of film, was coined by non other than the great filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. As explained by Brian Aldiss, in the documentary "Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures", any film needs 6-8 non-submersible units or fundamental story pieces where all the non essential information has been stripped away. These units, if executed properly, can be so strong and interesting by themselves that they don't need to be placed in any narrative structure. This is perhaps most evident in Kubricks "2001: A Space Odyssey" which in many ways lacks any grand narrative and instead is constructed of 7 or 8 sequences that stand on their own feet without relying on the rest of the film to set them up.
But as I see it, a non-submersible unit can really be any part or detail from a film. It can be a scene from the film. It can be a song or a dialog. It can be an image which by itself is so powerful that it permanently instills in your mind. Anything which makes us forget that we are sitting in a jam-packed cinema or in the confines of our own home in the "real world" and instead takes us on remarkable journeys of the fantastic and the unbelievable.
These non-submersible units in any good film is what, in my opinion, makes cinema so powerful and so interesting. These units can only be created by someone who is in complete control of both the form and the idea behind the film. Kubrick may have perfected the use of the non-submersible units but he is definitely not the first nor the last director to have used them.
My purpose with this blog is to find and analyze the non-submersible units in different films, both as a writing exercise for myself and as a forum for discussion. So stay tuned for the next posts and if you like you can subscribe to my blog.

It was many years before I knew the difference between sweet potatoes and yams. I still am not certain of any real difference except the color; one being a brighter orange color than the other. Like pumpkin, I like either one.
A baked sweet potato is about the simplest way I know to fix these delicious vegetables that can also be used to make desserts. And, with a microwave it is even simpler! Just wash the potato, pierce it in a couple of places with a fork and either wrap in foil for the oven or place on a paper plate and cover with a paper towel for the microwave.
"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26 NIV)
It has not been my lot in life to rub shoulders with people that are commonly known as the rich and famous. However, along the way, there have been some people to cross my path that have accumulated a lot of this world's goods, along with some fame in their field of endeavor.

The Glacier Trail is a popular route that is located mainly in the southern part of Jasper National Park. The south-to-north option crosses Nigel, Jonas and Maligne Passes, and ends up at Maligne Lake. It can be done by itself, or in combination with the Skyline Trail or the Caribou section of the Great Divide Trail. While there are some small glaciers along the route, "Glacier Trail" is a bit of a misnomer, especially in view of the spectacular glacial scenery available to drivers on the adjacent Icefields Parkway.
An overview of the route and the campsites are displayed in this map. Click here to read a description of the Glacier Trail as it merges with the Great Divide Trail at Nigel Pass.

By Sean Reifschneider Date 2007-08-09 01:59 Tags heartbeat, ipmi, sean reifschneider, stonith, technical
I spent most of the day today trying to get IPMI STONITH working with Heartbeat. IPMI is a system management protocol, usually implemented via an auxiliary controller, for doing various management functions including getting sensor data (fan speed, temp) and turning a server on and off. The IPMI controller is on even if the system is otherwise powered off. However, the ipmilan STONITH plugin is in pretty rough shape.
if you've gotten here via Google and are hoping this will help you get IPMI set up on your cluster, let me cut to the chase: The ipmilan STONITH driver appears to be completely unusable. You will probably have to do what I'm doing and implement a STONITH external script that uses ipmitool to do the job.
The first problem I ran into was that when I tried to set up STONITH with ipmilan, according to the README, it would report:
CRITICAL **: Unable to setup connection: 16
Google wasn't very helpful, it just pointed out someone else asking about this error from 18 months ago with no response…
I dug into the code, and found that the "auth" and "priv" fields, which the documentation says accept values like "none", "md5", and "admin" are passed through the "atoi()" C library call to convert them into integers. Since none of the documented values are actually integer strings, they all silently get converted to 0.
That is the core of the problem causing the error above. The "priv" field needs to be the integer 4 for "admin" in my case, but is instead 0. If you change the "priv" field to "4", and the "auth" field to "2" for "md5" it stops reporting the above error.
However, it then starts core dumping due to an invalid pointer de-reference.
The IPMI library is incredibly poorly documented, and to make it worse the STONITH ipmilan plugin is using a deprecated function.
My opinion is that ipmilan needs to be scrapped and re-written, hopefully by someone who knows the OpenIPMI API or at least someone who can find some documentation on it.
I was able to get ipmilan to reboot the remote machine, right before it seg faults, as well as correcting the argument passing problems above I've sent that patch to the Heartbeat maintainers, but I've also recommended to them that they either completely remove IPMI or at least disable it from the default build.
I just wanted to get this up there where Google could find it so that other people could give up earlier than I did. :-(comments powered by Disqus

Book I: Chapter 47-Chapter 52 Summaries
Chapter 47
Cooped up in the cart, Don Quixote says that he has never read of enchanted knights being transported in this form, and so it must be a new form of enchantment. Sancho argues with the knight and tries to explain, logically, that there is no enchantment. The barber threatens to throw Sancho inside the cart and so, the squire is quiet.
Chapter 48
Meanwhile, the priest is interested in reading a manuscript that he had obtained from the innkeeper, just before leaving.
Chapter 49
While traveling, the group encounters a "canon" who serves a religious function. The canon is not a fan of the books of chivalry, though he once attempted to pen such a story himself.
Chapters 50-51
Later, the group has lunch and the priest opens the cage and permits Don Quixote to exit. Quixote discusses chivalry with the canon and he manages to be both brilliant and ridiculous in his arguments. Besides recounting his own adventures to the canon, Quixote also tells the tale of the Knight of the Lake. During lunch, a goatherd named Eugenio approaches the group.
Chapter 52
Eugenio, the goatherd, ends up fighting with Quixote, much to the amusement of the group. Don Quixote causes more trouble by attacking a group of holy pilgrims. They are carrying an icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary within a cart: Quixote believes that they are criminals who have kidnapped and imprisoned a good lady. Holy or not, the group defends itself and Sancho is convinced that Don Quixote has received his last beating. Panza offers a very moving elegy for his dead master, but Quixote is not dead, of course. Quixote has been beaten so severely that he now goes home willingly.
Sancho returns home to his wife, Juana (at other points, her name is "Teresa"). "Juana" wants to know what Sancho has brought home as justification for his long time away from home. The squire says that he has won a governorship. Cervantes, as narrator, tells us in the final pages of Book I that even though Don Quixote is quietly taken in at home, his housekeeper and niece are right to fear that the "knight-errant" will soon grow restless.
Finally, Cervantes discusses the manuscripts of Quixote's adventures, telling us that he has found additional texts that he will prepare for translation and subsequent publication. We have more of Don Quixote's stories to look forward to, then: a third expedition.
In Chapter 48, yet another religious figure (the canon) offers literary criticism. The canon argues that works of comedy appeal to the masses but offend serious literary critics, whereas, serious works that disengage the masses are acclaimed by the critics. The canon's remarks are amusing in light of Cervantes' literary output: the novelist's early works were both less comedic and less acclaimed than Don Quixote. As Book I comes to a close, the canon's references to government censorship and literary taste, recall the novel's earliest chapters.
In conversation, the canon is amazed that Don Quixote integrates reason and foolishness. If Quixote has gone mad, he has not gone completely mad. In the canon's eyes, Don Quixote parallels Don Quixote, as seen through our eyes. Like the character, the novel presents the plausible and the absurd, with little regard for the distinctions between them.
The enchantment constitutes a change in Don Quixote's environment, but this enchantment does not resemble what Quixote knows from his stories. Still, he concludes that the relevant passage of text must have been lost. This enchantment cannot be a new thing. Don Quixote remains devoted to his orthodoxy.
Sancho Panza stands out as the one character willing to reason with Quixote, in part, because Sancho knows that he will not win his island if Quixote returns home. In Chapter 49, Sancho Panza expands upon the theme of delusion and truth-telling by incorporating forms of logic, evidence and proof. Using deductive reasoning, Sancho argues that Quixote is not suffering from an enchantment because Quixote needs to relieve himself. The storied descriptions of enchantment make no mention of the enchanted suffering the urgency of bodily functions. Quixote replies that the omission of this detail does not preclude the possibility. In Chapter 3, Quixote follows the (first) innkeeper's advice to carry shirts and money with him, even though Quixote "never read in the histories of knights-errant, that they carried any." The innkeeper's logic is that with "the authors thinking it superfluous to specify a thing so plain, and so indispensably necessary to be carried, as money and clean shirts, it was not therefore to be inferred, that [the knights] had none."
The larger question involves the form and function of the modern novel, and the extent to which the novel can and ought to capture the details of everyday life. Critics enjoy pointing out that Cervantes introduces a question that remains controversial three centuries later. Virginia Woolf railed against James Joyce's 1922 novel, Ulysses, because the fourth chapter narrates a character's minutes in the outhouse.
Don Quixote illustrates the fear that man might revert into a beast without social structures and constraints. Set free from his cage, Quixote battles a goatherd, and enacts a parody of his own story of "The Knight of the Lake." He attacks a pilgrimage, perceiving an icon of the Virgin Mary to be the hostage of the penitents. He is a hostage, newly freed, and he seeks glory by freeing a perceived hostage.
The end leaves very much undone: Sancho returns home, persistent in his belief that he will become governor of an island. Quixote has made no decision regarding Dulcinea. Quixote has not been arrested, nor has there been an exorcism, nor a conversion. Indeed, Quixote has said precious little to suggest an alteration in his future plans.

Fam, let me address the issue that some in the LGBT community have raised regarding some of my Super Bowl tweets yesterday.
I made several cracks about soccer as I do all the time. I was not referring to sexuality directly or indirectly regarding the David Beckham ad, and I'm sorry folks took it otherwise.
It was meant to be a deliberately over the top and sarcastic crack about soccer; I do not advocate violence of any kind against anyone gay, or not. As anyone who follows me on Twitter knows, anytime soccer comes up during football season it's another chance for me to take a playful shot at soccer, nothing more.
