Review: "Morningstar" by David Gemmell
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is somewhat bittersweet for me. I love David Gemmell and I longed to enjoy one of the few of his work I haven't read yet, but it proved to be a discordant note instead, almost unsettling.
Firstly, I must say it's strange that it comes after Legend and Knights of Dark Renown: both are much better, in my opinion. This "feels" like a first novel, and a bit unpolished at that.
Then, he used first person POV, unlike all others that I've read. I think he's much better at third person POV.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a Gemmell's story. You have the archetypes you are used to with DG's work: the large, good-natured, axe-wielding man (but without the wisdom and charisma of Druss); the excellent swordman, sly and antihero-ish (but in no way as deep as Skilgannon or Rek or even Groundsel!); the crone, very powerful (but Hewla is a much more interesting character, although on the other spectrum of the good-evil axis); the bard (but do we want to compare Owen to Sieben?!).
And also most of DG's themes: redemption; the reality of heroism, courage, cowardice; the "banality of evil" of most men, and the extreme wickedness of a few that needs to be fought despite all odds; etc.
But the execution does not live up to DG's standards. It felt wrong somehow, as if not written by him or not edited appropriately or if a much earlier, inexperienced work. I don't know.
My only advice is: if you don't know DG, DON'T START WITH THIS. Start with "Knights of Dark Renown", or "Legend" or "Waylander".
Lethetic and Alethetic: two sides of Fantasy
Learned a new word today. Actually, two.
- Lethetic: failing to mirror reality, therefore purely escapist or nonsensical.
- Alethetic: non-lethetic, therefore mirroring reality, often indirectly (e.g., allegories).
These two terms are now very dear to me – this is because they map, in my opinion, two different types of Fantasy literature that I have encountered but didn't have the right words to categorise (apart from crappy vs good – not very articulate, wouldn't you agree).
Lethetic fantasy, for me, would be a shallow type of reading: maybe even well written and with a good story, but it's unlikely it will stick in my mind, or warrant a re-read. The cycle of Landover from Terry Brooks would probably fit the bill, apart maybe from the first book, as well as quite a few bestsellers (that's the sad part). Plus a huge amount of self- and traditionally- published books that don't achieve any renown.
Alethetic fantasy would be a book that has something to say, that tries to uncover (through the mind of the author) an aspect of reality. We'd probably be better off reading an essay to get an academic sense of a political, sociological, anthropological aspect of humanity. But fiction reaches deeper within. Studying the Problem of Evil is all good, makes for a tedious (if intellectually challenging) effort. Reading a book that allegorically shows the different arguments within the Problem and their real-world consequences would hit much closer to the target – and it's also, usually, much more memorable. It stimulates our emotional intelligence and only later our rationality – exactly the opposite of academic writing. A clear, well-known example of this type of fantasy is Tolkien's LotR of course, but also LeGuin's Earthsea and many, many others.
In this context, new fantasy readers would do well to focus their efforts on the second type – notwithstanding the need for a good story, or the read would only be boring (better an academic essay, at that point).
If you thing fantasy literature is shallow and childish, you probably have only read lethetic books. Please do some research and find something better in the alethetic category. It's worth it.
Review: "Imago Mortis" by Samuel Marolla
Imago Mortis by Samuel Marolla
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Note: I actually read this book in italian, but it's available in english too.
TLDR: A small book, can be read in a few hours – better if all at once, snorted up like the ashes Ghites is addicted to. Absolutely recommended even if you are new to the hard-boiled/noir genre, but don't mind a little creepiness.
The first 2/3 of the book got me completely hooked up with its great pacing, the unbelievably vivid depiction of modern Milan and its underground "bestiary" – and with the basic premise of this work which I find very original. Although I have to admit I'm not a fan of the genre, so take that comment with a grain of salt.
The book lost some of that juice in last third, where it gives some weak, kind-of-sciency description of what Ghites thinks he's doing and a non-supernatural scene which I found too unrealistic and stretched. I think the book would have gained from a bit more supernatural and a bit less tentative fake-science, but that's me.
Despite this, I still enjoyed it to the end and couldn't stop reading. I'm actually quite sad it's a one-off. It's a pity Acheron Books doesn't like book series – I could see this being a creepy series of "detective" stories, and would surely buy them.
How to compile Ncbi IgBlast with GCC >= 5.X
If you are trying compiling igblast from sources and get this error:
configure: error: Do not know how to build MT-safe with compiler /usr/bin/g++ 5.2.1
the fix is very simple. Open the file src/build-system/configure and search for this section:
if test "$GCC" = "yes" ; then compiler_ver="`$real_CXX -dumpversion 2>&1`" case "$compiler_ver" in 2.95* | 2.96* | 3.* | 4.* ) compiler="GCC" ncbi_compiler="GCC" ncbi_compiler_ver="$compiler_ver" WithFeatures="$WithFeatures${WithFeaturesSep}GCC"; WithFeaturesSep=" " ;; esac
What it does is it checks that GCC has one of the specified versions, including any version 3 or version 4. No version 5, sadly.. so just change the following line:
2.95* | 2.96* | 3.* | 4.* )
2.95* | 2.96* | 3.* | 4.* | 5.* )
Now save and go back to the release/ directory, and run the usual ./configure && make && sudo make install command.
Short C++ remainder on passing objects to functions
Suppose you have an Object class. You instantiate three objects locally:
Object o1, o2, o3;
Then you have a function:
void f(Object o1, Object &o2, Object * o3);
This summarises the three ways you can pass an object to a function: by value, by reference and by reference via a pointer (let's call it for simplicity call by pointer). Say you call the function like this:
f(o1, o2, &o3);
Inside the function, you may access these objects' fields like this (note o3):
o1.x += 3;
o2.x += 3;
o3->x += 3;
These are the take home messages:
- [Call by value]: o1 is going to be copied inside the function f, then after f returns the copy is going to be destroyed. This means that any changes made by f onto o1 are not going to be visible outside f. In addition to being unsuitable to persist changes, the copy overhead can be very deleterius in certain high-performance applications – however, there is no access overhead.
- [Call by reference]: o2 is NOT going to be copied, so any changes made to o2 inside f are going to remain even after f returns. This is very efficient: no copy and methods/fields have no access overhead.
- [Call by pointer]: you are actually passing a pointer to o3 to f, so to access the objects' fields and methods you need to dereferentiate every time (using the -> operator). This makes it averagely efficient: no copy but access overhead.
It's clear that, even when you don't actually need to modify an object, call by reference should be your default approach.

Children's Ministry
Hi Kids!
With parents and families as partners, Peace Memorial is called to nurture children in their commitment to Christ and community, through scripture study, stewardship, worship, fellowship and Christian caring.
We welcome children - even squirmy ones - in worship. Realizing that our younger ones sometimes become restless the Christian Nurture Council has arranged for children's worship bags.
If parents prefer, children can attend Children's Enrichment which meets during Sunday worship. Children begin the worship service with the congregation and then go upstairs together to their classroom after the Children's Message.
Children's Story Time
All children are invited to explore God's love for us through the use of children's literature. This opportunity meets before worship from 9-10 am.
Children's Enrichment
Our children join their parents in community worship. They are invited forward for the "Time with Younger Disciples". Following that time, they are escorted to the children's enrichment area. Utilizing Feasting on the Word, a lectionary based Sunday School curriculum, our young disciples explore God's Word using play, music, crafts, Bible re-enactment and small group discussion.
Our children and their families have the opportunity to explore and celebrate their faith through intergenerational experiences, fellowship nights and overnight camping at Cedarkirk.
Join us next summer for our Vacation Bible School program in June 2018.
Children's Choir rehearse and sing during the school year on Sundays at 11:45 a.m. For more information please contact Carol Alexander, Director of Music, at 727.446.3001.

(Adds details, background)
Sept 14 (Reuters) - Online gambling firm GVC Holdings , which has expanded rapidly through a series of acquisitions, said it expects core annual earnings to top market estimates after first-half gaming revenue rose.
The group, which also operates websites such as Foxy Bingo and Sportingbet, said it expects clean EBITDA — core earnings before exceptional items and share-based payments — for the current year to be "comfortably ahead" of an analysts' consensus of 255.5 million euros ($303.6 million).
Revenue for the six months to June 30 rose to 472.8 million euros on net gaming revenue which rose 10 percent.
Revenue from sports brands, made up of websites such as bwin and Sportingbet, rose 9 percent to 194.2 million euros with wagers up 4 percent on an underlying basis.
Strong trading has continued into third quarter and net gaming revenue for the period to Sept 10 was up 12 percent, the company said.
GVC, now valued at about 2.3 billion pounds ($3 billion), has grown quickly under Chief Executive Kenny Alexander, who has built up the business through acquisitions.
In 2015, the then AIM-listed GVC bought Foxy owner Bwin.Party in a 1.1 billion pound deal to set off a round of dealmaking among London-listed gambling companies.

All Product Details
Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916 and educated in English boarding schools from the age of nine until twenty. During World War II, he was a Royal Air Force fighter pilot in North Africa and Greece. When his active duty was completed, he was transferred to Washington, D.C., where he was asked to write about some of his adventures. A Piece of Cake, his first published work, was an account of a fighter plane crashing in Libya. His first piece of fiction was called The Gremlins, a story about little creatures who make trouble for the Royal Air Force by drilling holes in the planes and wreaking general havoc.
Fifteen years later, Roald Dahl found himself telling bedtime stories to his children over and over again, and those were the basis for James and the Giant Peach, his first published children's novel. After that came Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, to be followed by many others, including The BFG, The Witches, and Matilda.
More can be learned about Roald Dahl in his autobiographical Boy: Tales of Childhood and Going Solo, as well as in the chapter called "Lucky Break" in The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More. Roald Dahl died in 1990 at the age of seventy-four. Although the world lost one of its most beloved authors, what he has left behind is a rich library of wonderful tales for children of today and tomorrow to discover and enjoy.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. was established in 1980, approximately ten million years after the decisive development of the eponymous mountain chain whose white escarpments, blue lakes and green forests are featured in the company's logo. As a brewery, they reached drinking age the same year we in the little drafty barn by the stream were initially setting up shop in the back of Jack of the Wood. Our mountains, however, are about 470 million years older than theirs.
Being nubile, unstooped, in youth's full blush, Sierra Nevada's are much taller. Mount Whitney is the highest point in the United States, an unimaginable 8,000 feet taller than sweet lil' Mount Mitchell–at 6,684 feet the highest American point east of the Mississippi. But here's something:
The Appalachian Mountains started happening in a major way when the tectonic plate upon which the Iapetus Ocean stewed cuddled up beneath the North American Craton, creating a hyperactive subduction zone that in turn pimpled with geysering volcanoes, spurred the Allegheny Orogeny (orogeny = mountain building period) and ultimately crumpled the edge of the Euramerican supercontinent against the edge of Gondwana. Voilah: Pangaea. That's why the Appalachians are in Morocco, too, operating under the alias "Little Atlas Mountain Range". Also they're in Scotland, thanks to the Caledonian Orogeny. And evidence indicates that in their prime, they touched sky at altitudes touched today by the Alps.
(Observe the pun assiduously avoided in the last sentence.)
After "Florida", "Cape Canaveral", and "Dry Tortugas", the word "Appalachian" is the oldest European place-name surviving in the States, borrowed by Cabeza de Vaca et al from a Tallahassee-centered tribe circa 1530. And back when it was apparently fair game to reimagine the nation, when we were new enough as a people not to fear pushing off from the dock of history and setting a new course, the writer Washington Irving proposed renaming the country "Appalachia."
Mountains gestate in the wombs of subduction zones, are delivered by geologic patience and born in boiling magma. For Sierra Nevada's part, a Jurassic archipelago of volcanoes smashed into California oh say 200 million years past, kicking off the planetary face lift (pun intended) that continues even today. Over the past several months, for instance, a relationship between the brewers of the two chains has gone from flirtation to courtship to consummation, epitomized by the recent introduction to Asheville's tasting rooms of Beer Camp batches sired collaboratively. Nationwide commerce gestates in creativity, is delivered by effort and born in boiling kettles.
They are coming from Sierra Nevada. They are coming from the Rockies. They're converging at the wooded feet of their blue and world-spanning elders. It happens underneath you, then bullets to the sky.
Come in this week for a taste of what Asheville got up to with Chico. It's a red wheatwine and will make you want to sing. "Carolina Dreamin'" is what it's called, the dream of the east, where the sun rises on tomorrow even as old mountains subside.

CrossFit Girl "Isabel"
For time:
30 Snatches 135/95 pounds
(Power snatch if you are strong enough)
Good time to beat for "Isabel"
According to WOD Time Calculator App good time to beat is 3:49 with good time cap of 6:00.
From my experience 3:49 is very good time and most people will have a hard time getting under 4:00. I think that time under 6:00 tells you are very efficient with 135 lbs Power Snatches.
But slower time than 6:00 usually means you have used a too heavy barbell and you should scale the workout to keep the intensity high.
When you should scale "Isabel"?
Scale Isabel if your 1 rep max for Isabel is under or just slightly over 135 lbs (or 95 lbs for women) or if you are strong enough but you are new to CrossFit and you are not used to high reps.
How you should scale "Isabel"?
When I program Isabel to my clients I usually tell them to use 80% of their power snatch 1 rep max. This means that you should do Isabel RXed only if your 1RM is over 165 lbs.
|Power Snatch 1RM
|Recommended Scaling
|165 lbs or more
|Go for RX
|145-165 lbs
|Scale to 115 lbs
|115-145 lbs
|Scale to 95 lbs
|95-115 lbs
|Scale to 75 lbs
|75-95 lbs
|Scale to 55 lbs
|55-75 lbs
|Scale to 45 lbs
When you should do RX+ "Isabel"?
There is no need to do RX+ (with heavier weight) Isabel if you wasn't able to finish Isabel under 2:00. Usually, 2-minute mark is the difference between going almost all reps unbroken and doing only singles.
You should try Isabel RX first even if your power snatch is way over 225 lbs. But check the following video to see what happens if you are super strong and you are good at CrossFit, Isabel done in 0:53 is absolutely crazy.
How to get good time at "Isabel"?
It depends on your goal, there are 2 milestones. First one is to get as close as possible to 2:30-3:00, the second one is to finish under 2:00.
If you aim for a time around 3 minutes you should do only singles. Quick singles with almost no rest can get you in the range of 2:30-3:00, goal is to just don't start too quickly so you don't slow down in the second 15s. By the way, singles with constant rest in between reps should be done even for slower times.
On other hand if you aim for fast time, usually under 2 minutes, the best way is usually do as much as you can unbroken (at least 10-20 reps) and then switch to singles until the end. The huge set will allow you to get through big chunk of reps quickly and then it is just about finishing as quickly as possible without uneccesary rest.

Mexican Period
This section is written by the author but may not totally reflect the opinion (s) of the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians.
Historical Sketch
Copyright 1997 by
Tad Beckman,
Harvey Mudd College
Claremont, CA 91711
Mexican Period
As mentioned earlier, Mexico became independent of Spain in 1821, just as the United States had become independent of England in 1776. In contrast to England, however, Spain accepted Mexico's independence peacefully and a new Mexican monarchy was established. The monarchy was short-lived, however, and by 1823 the Republic of Mexico was formed, with Guadalupe Victoria its first president. Mexico inherited all of Spain's social inequities and economic problems as well as Spain's ambitious empire in the American Southwest and Alta California. From 1823 through 1848, presidencies rose and fell at the hands of diverse groups and coalitions; corruption was rampant.
In the early 1820s, the independence of Mexico had little impact on the mission culture of California; there were enough problems close to home for the Mexican governors to deal with. While Mexico had granted citizenship and protection to Indians under the Plan of Iguala, it continued the Spanish tradition of viewing indigenous people as the lowest possible class of people without the right to hold property. In the remote territory of Alta California, the mission economy continued.
Little by little, Mexican colonists moved into Alta California and occupied land granted to them by the remote Mexican government, gradually establishing a secular society that was independent, and jealous, of the mission society. Then, finally, between 1834-36, under increasing pressures from secular interests throughout Mexico, the government moved to secularize the missions and seize all their properties. With this sanction from the central government, secularization proceeded swiftly, in Alta California, at the hands of local colonists and secular authorities. Rather than dividing mission properties into equal shares for the clerical authorities and mission Indians, however, the Mexican colonists sacked the missions and divided the properties among themselves. For the mission Indians, who had actually made the transition to Spanish Catholic culture and who had lost connections with tribal villages and indigenous ways, it was a disaster; return to a natural indigenous lifeway was rarely successful. There was little left but to become feudal laborers in colonial villages and on Mexican ranchos. It is estimated that 15,000 of the 53,600 baptized Indians remained alive and in this precarious condition in 1836.
In spite of the fact that Mexicanization of California proceeded slowly, it was a very damaging period to California Indians. The rapid decline of Indian populations along the coast led the missionaries to seek neophytes from increasingly distant regions of the interior. Recruitments came closer to military campaigns than ever before; and the usefulness of Indians as a cheap labor supply became thoroughly confused with the mission of Catholic conversion. The mission economy of Alta California simply required Indian labor.
After secularization, the economy of California was entirely based on the Mexican ranchos, which employed a system of peonage imported from Mexico. It was a particularly harsh form of feudalism, without the veneer of a righteous mission of Christian conversion and bordering on slavery. Indians living close to Mexican occupation found that their natural environment had been so far degraded that their only survival option was laboring in the ranchos. But their wages were carefully maintained at survival's minimum, only, and there was no prospect of bettering themselves. They were often paid much of their wage in alcohol, at week's end, which kept them immobilized until they had to return at the week's beginning.
Throughout the last decade of Mexican rule, an ever wider population of California's indigenous people were being incorporated into this sphere, while coastal people, who had suffered under the missions for decades, were beginning to disappear entirely. The distribution of land into ranchos was pressing eastward from El Camino Real across the coastal mountains and into the Central Valley. Settlements were being established in the Delta region as far northeast as Sacramento. This meant that military expeditions to acquire neophytes and, later, military expeditions to acquire laborers were penetrating increasingly into the tribal territories of not only the Central Valley but also those of the western Sierran foothills.
The Indians were not just affected by the kidnaping and abuse of their people; but were rapidly being deprived of their natural food supply, as Hispanos, Europeans, and Americans crowded into the area, threatening natural plants and game animals. Indians retaliated periodically for the abuses. But they were forced to adapt their own food seeking activities also and this had an even more major impact on their relations with Whites. As Indians sought food by raiding cattle from the ranchos, small bands of Mexican military and volunteers raided Indian villages with savage vengeance. Without any doubt, cause and effect became entirely lost in this situation, and everyone had a "righteous claim" for doing violence against the others.
It is estimated that about 6% of the population decline during this period stemmed from military encounters; but much more stemmed from the continuing influx of European diseases. Smallpox first appeared in 1833 and produced major epidemics among the Pomo, Wappo, and Wintun in 1838, the Miwok in 1844, and the Pomos again in 1850. An unknown disease among the Wintun, Maidu, Miwok, and Yokuts in 1833 wiped out 4500 people, 10% of their populations. In all, diseases are estimated as causing 60% of the population decline to the end of the Mexican period, and California indigenous population had fallen to a total of only 150,000 people.
For Mexico itself, it became progressively more difficult to maintain control over the northwestern territories, with Americans, who had purchased France's claim to the Mississippi watershed, moving westward through the Great Basin in increasing numbers.

Serie A side Juventus retain an interest in Chelsea duo Willian and Juan Cuadrado, according to the Daily Star.
Brazilian international Willian has been a regular in Jose Mourinho's starting eleven over the past year but has offered little by way of an end product in the final third, the 27-year-old providing just two goals and three assists in 36 Premier League appearances last season.
The Daily Star claim Juventus are ready to offer £18m for Willian, some way below the £30m Chelsea paid Shakhtar Donetsk for the attacker two years ago (via BBC Sport).
Chelsea FC news

£167m: Chelsea set for domination after investing in youth with THESE five signings, including Paul Pogba
Juventus would surely find it easier to land Cuadrado, with the Daily Star stating that the Italian giants want to bring in the former Fiorentina man on an initial loan deal.
Cuadrado was brought in to back-up Chelsea's wide-attacking options in January but has thus far failed to score a single goal or provide a single assist in 13 Premier League appearances.
Chelsea have brought in Pedro from Barcelona, and the Daily Star state that the West London side may look to offload Victor Moses and Oscar now that they have a decent number of options in the final third.

I have been working long and hard on preparing this editorial. This segment will discuss multiple facets of the TI-calculator community, in a non-biased way, forming a conclusion based on indisputable facts.
First, let me introduce myself. I am a Queens College student, having graduated from Archbishop Molloy High School two years ago. I have spent four years as an active webmaster for Blast Programs Incorporated, a non-profit organization designed to bring the merits of calculator programming to every student who uses calculators by Texas Instruments. In this time, I have, not only produced software, but have also debated within and outside the community about the usefulness of programming for TI calculators. Recently, I have undertaken a very bi-partisan project. While working on full-length Legend of Zelda and Star Trek battle clones for the calculator, I have simultaneously added a "Teacher's Section" to my website, and plan on producing and adding tools to the page that teachers can use. Now, I use my knowledge and skills as an advocate for the TI-programming community. Beyond that, I am interested in pursuing some sort of career in public relations. What better way to start, than in publishing something like this. This started as a paper for a class, but it seemed like pretty good material to publish, so I made a few tweaks and here it is.
Let us start with where TI's business comes from. The greatest source of profit for TI is the community of students. Each year, tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of student purchase graphing calculators from Texas Instruments, ranging from the TI-83+ family, the TI-86, the TI-89, and the TI-Nspire. The body of students can be further divided, based on their preferred usage of the calculator. There is the general student body, and the programming community. While the programming community is less extensive, numerically, they give TI roughly the same amount of business. How, you may ask. The programming of your calculator is extremely sensitive. When changing this, or writing your own programs, the slightest mistake can cause instability, crashes, or a complete destruction of the operating software. While most of this is reversible, if done properly, some of it is permanent. Brandon Wilson once bricked (damaged irreversibly) one of his calculators. Several others he broke, but was able to fix. I, on many occasions, have made mistakes in coding that have led to operating system instability. When we do this, we then need to purchase new equipment. So, in the time that an average user has one calculator, we may go through two or three.
I am unaware where the stigma of programming being a hindrance comes from, but it seems to be present in all; that programming one's calculator is, not only a waste of time, but also a keen way to cheat on exams. I will grant that many students do not care at all about the merits of calculator programming and use programs to store cheats, but to embrace just this one group of students as the reason "spoils the bunch", so to speak. There are many of us out there who use programming not to cheat, but rather to hone in on one's own skills and to grasp a higher understanding of the topics presented. The nature of a program, when constructed as such, is not to cheat. I have always been taught that the best test of whether or not you understand the material is to see if you can do it yourself. But, what better indication is there that you know the material so well than that you can give a calculator fool-proof instructions on how to carry out a given calculation, have it explain why that calculation was made, and account for margins of error.
If that is not convincing enough, allow me to present this. I myself will admit to having used pre-made programs on tests in the past. Not for reference on information, but merely for computational assistance…the ability to perform multiple calculations at once. On average, I performed the same, if not worse, on the exam, leading me to the conclusion that regardless of what you bring into the test, not even a program can help you if you do not know the material. All the program does is help you answer the question faster, if you already know what to do.
Then, there is the issue of gaming. One of the chief arguments against playing games on calculators that I have heard is that they mess around with the lists (L1through L6), which are used by the calculator to graph regressions, as well as other system variables. The truth: Very few calculator games actually interfere with important data used in class. In fact, 95% of the games I have reviewed create their own storage locations, and then destroy them once they are no longer needed. This takes away strength from the most powerful downside to games: students play games during class. Well, outlawing games on calculators does not solve the problem, as students will just find other ways to not pay attention. The fact is that you need to trust your students to have the maturity to say "there is a time and a place for everything, and class is not the time for playing games".
I have heard that Texas Instruments holds conventions for teachers, and at these conventions they speak about the programming community. Judging by the industry's treatment of our support requests, I can assume that their statements about us are negative. Well, here is the truth about TI. TI releases new software that is (1) buggy (means prone to crashes and other errors; in fact the TI-84+ OS 2.55MP is known to have crashed while calculating 1+1.), (2) designed to cause incompatibility with our programs, such as xLib, Omnicalc,and others, and (3) contains no new features. Many members of our community have contacted TI about why they design these new, pointless features, while their older ones still don't work properly. We have gotten the run-around, links to the documentations that do not address our questions, or just completely ignored. All the while, they claim to support educational advancement.This is not true. For the version of this paper that was being submitted to class, I wrote in to Texas Instruments, requesting some simple information on which calculator model sells the most, and clearly stated that it was educational, for a paper. TI blatantly ignored my message.
As if that isn't bad enough, TI has posted takedown orders against several more prominent members of our community, who have reverse-engineered key parts of TI's operating system software. We have used this information to port our own OS software and run it on our own calculators; we have not used this information to edit or redistribute TI's software and claim it as our own. Instead, we use it to fix the mistakes that TI refuses to. When we released the "fixed" OS's, we even give TI credit, clearly indicating on the free download that it is software belonging to TI. As TI makes its operating system available, in print, on its website, this is all that is legally required for a redistribution. Yet that did not stop TI from attacking our members for copyright infringement. To my knowledge, at least one of these cases went to court, and a judge threw out the case. Yet, TI tells anyone who will listen that we have warped priorities. Well, we aren't the ones who spend money needlessly ,filing cases against software developers who try to improve software, instead of producing better software themselves.
This is an era of computers. Everything that we do, from schoolwork to socializing, is done on computers. With the widespread usage of the TI graphing calculators,and their increasing analytical power, TI has come to the forefront of a rapidly evolving society. TI has a responsibility to fill this social "niche"by fostering, not only programming capability, but programming knowledge as well. This means making resources on TI-Basic and z80 assembly available to the public. It also means to get rid of the downgrade protections on the Nspire models, which seem curiously timed to outdate our releases of Nleash. Finally,it means encourage teachers to foster, even utilize, programs in class, rather than spread propaganda about how programming is an unnecessary evil.
Representatives from TI have said that z80 assembly is not needed for good math or science utilities. Rather, they say, the available variants of TI-Basic are more than sufficient to produce quality programs. TI is missing the point. They are suggesting, borrowing from a relative scenario, that I should forgo my computer and type my paper on a typewriter simply because it is sufficient. You do not need technical expertise to see how preposterous that is. A computer is, by far, easier to use and much more powerful in terms of formatting than a typewriter. To return to the point, programmers will want z80 support because it is a much more powerful tool with which to program.
However, we cannot honestly expect TI to take these steps unless we, the programming community, meet them halfway. This means that we need to take effort to produce utilities that are beneficial to an academic curriculum and spend less of our time on games. The fact that, on most sites that host calculator programs, the games section is the largest is a testament to this imbalance. Don't get me wrong, nDOOM, Zelda, Pong, and Tetris are great programs, but they don't help in class. Having games on your calculator is not a crime. Using them in class, however, is counter-productive.
In conclusion, it is obvious to me that TI and the programming community are, and will always be, at odds until the two sides can meet at a middle ground. This middle ground is composed of several key points. First off, the programming community must focus less on games and more on utilities that can be used in class. Secondly, the community must be less offensive when addressing TI's motives. Remember, correlation does not equal causation, just because something can be true, it does not necessarily follow that it must be true. In exchange, the programming community can reasonably expect increasing z80 support and less opposition to its own development.

|Valentino S/S 2016 Campaign via valentino.com
Celebrities, fashion designers and even people in your neighbourhood take on the codes of cultures – but how does one objectively define the boundary between cultural appreciation and appropriation when the answer is so grey and big names in the industry are dismissing it?
The very concept of creativity is to be inspired, to sample and then to refine into something new – artists from all walks of life start their humble beginnings by using pre-existing objects and nothings around them to be inspired, and with fashion designers, there's absolutely no doubt that one must be inspired by everything and nothing to come up with a collection of eye-catching clothes. Culture is one of the many inspirations that designers come too when they need new ideas, and of course it can be done well – but the industry itself is known for being conversational and outrageous, so the fact that fashion has blurred the boundaries of cultural appreciation and appropriation is no newsflash. The industry is well known for its elitist and exploitative nature, from workers to the individuals outside of the industry who feel that their heritage and culture have been used for capitalism in an inappropriate manner. From magazine editorials to runways to even phrases of an 'African-inspired collection', many are slamming several designers, and the industry itself for being uneducated and too narrow-minded about the complications of appropriation.
|Valentino S/S 2016 via vogue.com
Valentino is one of the many names in the industry who have received backlash for their appropriation of their African-inspired collection from their Spring/Summer 2016 collection - this isn't the first time either. The clothing, which was inspired, respectively of course, by the traditional African dress, was not so much the issue – rather it was the use of the cornrow braids styled into the hair of models who – wait for it, were predominantly white. Not one model of colour on the runway. To add fuel to the fire, Valentino continued to anger the online social media by putting forth a campaign for that very collection that again, using white models, had them in cornrows, posing in Africa surrounded by local villagers. There was debate that the campaign itself surpassed appropriation into clear racism of white superiority.
Designers like London-based KTZ, have also been blasted with backlash for using sacred symbolism from Inuit culture in their Winter/Fall 2016 collection – where a number of garments had patterns based on the traditional designs without consent. Salome Awa, a Nunavut native, had gone ahead with a complaint letter addressing the issue of appropriation to the brand and after apologising, the collection was pulled off retailers. Some names in the industry have argued that fashion is about bringing individuals together with a sense of style, and that by 'mixing' together cultures with traditional attire, hairstyles, music and even mannerism, that the industry and society will become better adjusted to cultural diversity. After all, the industry with its mass diversity from insiders to consumers outside (with Asia leading the way for consumerism in the luxury area), isn't it best as for a melting pot of cultures?
|KTZ F/W 2016 via vogue.com / Inuit symbolism via Kerian Oudshoorn
The damage of cultural appropriation is rather hard to comprehend when one doesn't have an understanding of white supremacy – historical black hairstyles (cornrows, twists, locs) have always, and admittedly still are stigmatised and deemed unprofessional by many businesses with many individuals losing jobs because of their hair. It becomes an eye-twitching moment to then see a white celebrity figure (See: Lena Dunham) wearing cornrows, suddenly turn the once-dismissed hairstyle into a trend that pulls away at centuries of black history.
There's more to it too – from bindis to the 'watered down Chinese-kimino' (which has been purposely worded wrong to bring a sense of the uncomfortable) to even the native headdress piece, all of which hold significant value to their respective cultures, it becomes unsettling and even upsetting to see white supremacy at it's worst to adopt parts of oppressed and minority cultures while actual individuals of said cultures are being demonised. Beyond the industry, the annual holiday of Halloween brings to more fuel of cultural appropriation, where professor Belk (1990) states that 'halloween is seen as a holiday was focuses on the power of inversion - it's about turning the social norm into something that is not the norm.' It's fine, of course to dress up as celebrities or public figures because it's the social norm to see the humour in it, but when you're trying to dismantle a culture for the sake of this holiday - especially a culture that is presently (or in the past) experiencing oppression on one way or another, there is no inversion, it's simply reinforcing current power structures. One of the most infamous 'costumes' (I use this term with as much respect as possible because it is not a costume, it is a culture) would be the Native American headdress. One too many times has capitalism seen the purchase and wear of the sacred headdress - built from individualised eagle feathers and even using colours and Navajo-inspied prints on the clothing. There is no knowledge, no rights and no meaning, as every piece of sacred clothing is a sense of an important culture and tradition - and interestingly enough, it's actually illegal within the United States 'to offer or display, or even sell any goods in a manner that falsely suggests that it is Indian produced, or inspired by (a tribe).' (If you're interested, Urban Outfitters were sued by a Navajo nation.) While the halloween pieces may not go as far as claiming truth from a tribe, it does peel away at centuries of traditions and culture, which additionally adds onto the discrimination that so many Native-American individuals and communities experience and turning it into a costume that holds no value.
|Blackfeet and Blackfoot couple via traditionalnativehealing.com / Native American Headpiece via globerove.com
The issue of cultural appropriation will never come to a conclusion because it's an issue that will always have answers floating in the grey zone – perhaps the best way to see it is that cultural appreciation comes down to the simple recognition of and respect for culture that inspires said acts of the arts. At the end of the day though, it comes down to one's social privilege to prioritise the respect of a culture – cultural appreciation is more than just a fashion accessory for a music festival, and it definitely brings more to light in the industry motto of 'expressing yourself through clothes.'

Re: The easy way to get carbs back on.
I replaced all four boots with new ones. I put a trace of 5w-40 inside each boot opening to lubricate them, muscled them onto the head, then spent 20 minutes trying without success to get the carbs on. I tried the strap and POOF they seated. Thanks!

More than 500 people attended, and 100 speakers delivered keynote addresses or participated in panel discussions. Addresses by the Hon. Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, John Stossel of ABC News, and leading scientists received thundering standing ovations from a capacity audience. Press coverage was extensive...The keynote speech by Joseph Bast is here. He notes that the conference addresses four questions overlooked by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:
- how reliable are the data used to document the recent warming trend?
- how much of the modern warming is natural, and how much is likely the result of human activities?
- how reliable are the computer models used to forecast future climate conditions? and
- is reducing emissions the best or only response to possible climate change?
John Coleman, who founded the cable network in 1982, suggests suing for fraud proponents of global warming, including Al Gore, and companies that sell carbon credits.
"Is he committing financial fraud? That is the question," Coleman said.
"Since we can't get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue," Coleman said. "I'm confident that the advocates of 'no significant effect from carbon dioxide' would win the case."

I love this meandering trail after a good rain; the foliage is lush and the creek roars! It's a sweet stroll from our house and a good after dinner walk with the dog- IF you live nearby. Not necessarily a "destination trail," but definitely a must for those of us in the neighborhood!

Research led by Mark Petticrew that found the alcohol industry is misrepresenting evidence about the alcohol-related risk of cancer is covered widely by UK and international media. More than 650 outlets report the findings, including: The Guardian, Daily Mail, The Times (£), The Daily Telegraph, The Sun, The Independent Sky News, Reuters, The Sydney Morning Herald, New York Post, RT, Voice of America, and via the Press Association to more than 100 UK regional outlets.
Quoted by the Huffington Post, Mark Petticrew said: "Our findings are also a clear reminder of the risks of giving the alcohol industry the responsibility of informing the public about alcohol and health." Mark was interviewed by Sky News, with features broadcast throughout the day.
Colin Sutherland provides comment to the Daily Mail on news of death of a young girl from cerebral malaria in northern Italy: "There are still anopheline mosquitoes in parts of Italy that can transmit malaria, but these would be unlikely to be found as far north as Trentino."
Punam Mangtani is quoted by Medical News Today on her recent study which found the BCG vaccine is effective for twice as long as previously thought: "Health officials should consider recommending childhood BCG vaccination where TB risk is high and where infant vaccination has not been given."
Research published last year on the impact of dietary change on greenhouse gas emissions by Andy Haines and Lukasz Aleksandrowicz is referenced in an editorial by The Guardian.

After our recent experiments with video conference programs (if you missed it, see the posts on Extension History – on the role of museums in representing and constructing history – and Inventions and Innovations) we are acquiring some new gear (w00t!) to give us flexibility to develop a range of innovative, feature-rich programs. With this new gear, and our ideas, we think our programs are brewing up to be as exciting for our audiences as they will be enjoyable for us. Which is to say: very!
As well as ways to enhance our core segments of live human presentations – of course, we're thinking green-screen-enabled backdrops, but also object theatre and maybe even iPad demonstrations – we're planning to mix it all up with pre-recorded videos of curators talking about particular objects in the collection, and experimental uses of Keynote slideshows. Think pick-a-box style games, or interactive digital storytelling-on-the-fly. Oh, the possibilities!
Ange and I are also thrilled to be heading down to Tasmania at the end of June to:
- visit NBN-connected schools
- consult administrators from the public and independent sectors
- confer with educators at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
Unfortunately, we will not make it to the Questnet conference next month, at which various cultural institutions will be sharing news and ideas from their own adventures in VC programming.
But from where we sit (and stand, and occasionally jump around), the future of video conferencing looks bright and compelling. If you are a teacher keen to tap into our programs, be in touch :-)

Fan speed on auto in CCC
Got a small question about CCC (catalyst control center).
I read some posts around the interwebz. When you have fan speed set on auto the speed dos not go over 35 or 40% speed?
When i had it on auto i never hear the fan kick, never did i see the speed going up in CCC.
Anyone know if this is true?
|My System Specs
|04 Jan 2013
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
That's a misconception, infact when it's set to auto it runs at the speed until it's under load and only then will the fan increase as needed. If you have a dual monitor setup you can open CCC and then play a known game to push the gpu and watch the fan speed increase pass the auto settings as you play the game.
|My System Specs
|04 Jan 2013
yeah, that kinda makes sense. I got it set on 40% now, and it keeps the card cool.
Will try to set it back on auto and see what happens :)
|My System Specs

Dos the speed only reach up to the set speed % tho even on auto? or dos it go past that?

When you think of Heathcliff Huxtable, does your mind go to Clifford "T.I" Harris?
The rapper and his family were recently featured in a special photo shoot for In Touch that struck an interesting comparison.
According to In Touch Magazine,
With their new VH1 reality show T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, many have compared them to the famous TV family. "It's flattering, though I like to think of us as a unique piece of our society! The Huxtables are more conservative, older and from a different environment. But we share unity, strength and prominence."
Though we enjoy their show and often are in awe and respect of the kind of love they clearly share (if only more men waxed poetic about their wives the way T.I. does about Tiny), we're on the fence on whether we should consider them to be the same caliber of role model for black families as the Huxtables. Let's compare and contrast a little:
- Heathcliff and Claire shared a deep and passionate love, in spite of many years and children together. T.I. and Tiny can attest to the same.
- Cliff was a doctor, Claire was a lawyer. Both had high level degrees and were considered experts in their field. T.I. is a rapper, Tiny is a former R&B singer turned small business owner. T.I. never graduated high school.
- Cliff was often overly competitive in many areas and found himself in comical situations because of it. You can see examples here, here, here, and here. T.I. has also found himself in some "funny" situations, but those have usually just landed him in jail.
Don't get us wrong, we love the love we see on both shows and are always glad to see intact black families on TV. This comparison makes us pause though.
CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this article, Clifford "T.I" Harris' first name was incorrectly listed as Clifton. We apologize for the error.
What do you think? Do you think T.I. and Tiny deserve Huxtable status? Should we be holding them up as black family role models? If not them, who? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Rebecca Foran from Velocity Gamer writes:
"This Indie title caught my eye a few times before I finally had the pleasure of actually sitting down and playing – the main draw for me are the very unique visuals, being Gothic yet cute at the same time, showcasing some real vision and talent in regards to how Don't Starve looks. The main aim of the game is – you guessed it – don't starve. On the surface it may seem like your average Sims-esque title, collecting things, rendering items and building things, eating, sleeping and generally trying to juggle everything so that you don't die along the way, but there's a lot more to it than that."

Over the years we've written critically of many companies that, having established a nice, profitable niche at home, embark on an international expansion, only to return a few years later with their tails between their legs. Well, now we have our own version, albeit with a return measured in months rather than years.
When we asked members whether they'd like coverage of international stocks, a good proportion said 'yes'. So we launched a Premium service, offering coverage of mainly US-listed companies. Having preached of the benefits of international exposure for years it seemed like...
