In advance of the 2017 Annual Meeting, we invited SNAP members to contribute summaries of panels, section meetings, forums, and pop-up sessions. Summaries represent the opinions of their individual authors; they are not necessarily endorsed by SNAP, members of the SNAP Steering Committee, or SAA.
Guest Author: Michael Barera, Archivist, Texas A&M University-Commerce
This session consisted of a panel-led presentation and discussion conducted by Sally DeBauche, Erin Faulder, Shira Peltzman, Kate Tasker, and Dorothy Waugh. Other members of their group who had contributed to the project but were not present at the session were Susanne Annand, Marty Gengenbach, Julie Goldsmith, and Laura Jackson.
The panel began with background on their project for developing a shared practice framework for processing born-digital materials, terming it the "start of the trail" in an Oregon Trail computer game theme that ran through their whole session. The genesis of the project was at the Born-Digital Archiving & eXchange (BDAX) conference in 2016. After the conclusion of the conference, the nine archivists (the five presenting this session and the other four aforementioned group members) banded together and first formed a charter before conducting a literature review (which is available online at https://www.zotero.org/groups/632302/born_digital_processing). Their goal: "build a framework to standardize and define levels of born-digital processing and related activities."
The panelists then proceeded to given an overview of their survey, beginning with the rational: to identify activities and their functional purpose. They described the contents of the survey as being "a lot of rambling description…of practices," and then related their experiences with analyzing and synthesizing it down to 30 activities (their draft list of activities is available online at http://bit.ly/2tjJsKU). In their words: "if this sounds complicated, that is because it is."
From here, the panelists proceeded into their results. They began by noting that digital processing comprises tasks from accession to access, and that they utilized two overlapping standards with sometimes differing goals — in archival processing based on analog materials, the focus is on hierarchy and aggregate management, while in the OAIS digital preservation model, it is instead on relationships and item/object management. Furthermore, they observed that digital processing exists outside standard archival description tools. After this, they mentioned that activities are tied to tools and the limitations of those tools; in their experience, "the tools don't always work smoothly with each other." Additionally, they noted that not all materials about digital collections will "live in the finding aid." In the end, though, they were able to find some consensus on which activities should be part of minimum digital processing.
The panel then turned their attention to framework. They determined that, regardless of its design, their model would need to be:
- Flexible
- Modular (usable either in its entirety or for a more limited application)
- Useful (which they noted is more difficult to balance than meets the eye)
- Simple
- Extensible (to help the model stay relevant in a changing archival landscape)
Next, they discussed potentially using a pre-existing framework: they identified four models, but did not select any of them as appropriate for their needs. Therefore, they ultimately decided they had to develop a model of their own, which they dubbed the "Frankenmodel."
The panel then proceeded to explain their model, including how each processing task has a corresponding grid in it and that these grids include possible scenarios and processing methods. In all, the "Frankenmodel" consists of four tiers corresponding to level of quality:
- Baseline
- Minimal
- Moderate
- Intensive
As explained by the panelists, processing activity and functional purpose are denoted at the top of each grid, while defining each processing task was necessary because people's understanding of these tasks often varied. Furthermore, each tier in their model has a corresponding definition, and the purpose the tiers serve is to identify the actions necessary to process digital materials at increasing levels of granularity.
The panel then proceeded to define and give notes on typical collections processed at each of the tier levels:
- Baseline
- Definition: "The minimum recommended processing actions that should be taken for any born-digital material."
- Collections typically processed at this level: "All collections should undergo these processing actions at a minimum."
- Minimal
- Definition: "These processing actions and methods do not typically require specialized tools and skillsets, and can usually be accomplished without substantial increases in funding or staffing."
- Collections typically processed at this level: "Have a low research value, are low risk, and can be made available as-is."
- Moderate
- Definition: "These processing actions and methods may utilize forensic tools and require specialized skillsets."
- Collections typically processed at this level: "Have a somewhat higher research value, are somewhat higher risk, and can be made available as-is."
- Intensive
- Definition: "These processing actions and methods are the most time consuming and resource intensive; processing collections at this level typically cannot be accomplished without specialized tools and skillsets."
- Collections typically processed at this level: "Are high value, are high risk, and have specific access restrictions or requirements."
The panelists also noted that a collection should be processed at a specific tier if the general guidelines are specific to each processing task and if it helps users determine which tier is appropriate for a given task. Furthermore, possible methods include the "how-to" section of the model, while it also provides a range of possible methods for accomplishing a given task.
The panelists then had all session participants break out into 15 groups (with about 10 people in each group) for 20-25 minutes of group discussion mediated partially by group discussion packets that were handed out. The panelists assured all attendees that there are no wrong answers to their prompts, and they encouraged us to "tell us what you think." Each interactive group discussion consisted of selecting a team leader and a notetaker, accessing each team's folder on Google Drive, reviewing the grid (for approximately two minutes), and then discussing Question A and Question B in succession (for approximately eight or nine minutes each).
The panelists concluded their session by highlighting the next steps for their working group, which will be reviewing the feedback they received from the attendees. They then plan to regroup with all their working group members, create processing grids for the 30 digital processing activities that were identified, share updates via the ERS List / BloggERS, and (ultimately) create a white paper.

So I've been hearing about this ban on showing smoking in films, first thru Lazy's post and then thru Balaji, here.
My personal opinion, of course, is that it's a ridiculous thing to do and it would really put the creators of the art in a fix.
That I vehemently oppose this is one thing. But I didn't know until this day that it was Dr. Ramadoss all along, until I read Aamir's letter, thru Gaurav's post, the politically illiterate guy, that I am. And why wasn't there any talk on the Ramadoss-cancerstick connection (after all, the minister is his son) in the blog arena which would have enlightened me even before my self-realisation of the main factor behind this issue. Or, am I being politically incorrect in my suspicion?
That Ramadoss has been taking his personal opinion too far, for quite sometime now, is undeniable. But now, he is also taking his personal duel with Rajinikanth (his accusations on Rajinikanth and all that, about which I won't completely disagree with) too far and trying to make it a law at the national level. And, that precisely is bullsh*t.

Hey Balaji!ReplyDelete
I could just be wrong as well!
Though I did read that its his son while I googled it, I don't want to claim things here since I am not a well-informed guy in political happennings. :)
This blog of mine is a movie blog and will stay so. This post was just a reaction to the ban on showing smoking onscreen.

Once our big priorities are settled and in place, the smaller things can settle around them. And there's still room to pour a little "water." I've heard this illustration more times than I can actually remember. It's so familiar, yet easy for me to brush off. "Yeah, yeah. I've heard that. I know, I know." But it's come back to me in the past month. And I'm particularly reminded of it as yesterday was the first day of Advent. The beginning of 4 weeks when we wait in eager anticipation of the birth of the Messiah. I'm trying to be more intentional about truly waiting for the birth of Christ this year. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in my struggles- I fall into the trap of busyness and the "hustle and bustle" (what a weird phrase) of the season. Our family calendar does not have one free weekend in the month of December. Ouch. I see mugs and t shirts and bumper stickers with the Christian cliche "Jesus is the reason for the season!" and it makes me roll my eyes and possibly gag. Just being honest. Not that I disagree with the sentiment in any way, but for heaven's sake... But that's not my point. Or maybe it is.
I don't want to forget about Jesus. I don't want to make him secondary in my holiday preparations. Author Joanna Weaver put it so simply when she writes about this from God's perspective, "Take care of My business, and I'll take care of yours. Make room in your heart for me, and I'll make room for everything else." Step back, Mollie. Lights and wreaths and trees and music make my heart smile. But they aren't top priority. Presents and wrapping paper and parties and
There wasn't any room for Jesus when He was born. I'm challenging myself to make room for Him in my Christmas this year.
What do you do to keep your focus steady during the hectic holiday season?

I am so nervous over this chapter.
I won't apologize for the long delay, since you've all done your very best to make it clear you don't mind (for the most part) so long as I keep going with this story.
But if you just happened to be frustrated with the wait, I would blame it all on a friend of mine who encouraged me in a shameless endeavor...Not that I would ever start planning another Zutara before this one was finished...*cough* :)
Yes, I totally mean that, but considering how this story went I think I'm going to try getting at least a buffer of chapters built up, if not arranging it so that the whole story is finished before I begin posting. Just to try something new.
Now, as though that weren't shameless enough of a plug. If you were to go to: theredoomouse(dot)etsy(dot)com (with actual periods instead of the (dot)s of course) you might find some jewelry I've been making which is inspired by the many fandoms I belong to. There's nothing avatar-related yet, but I do have some things planned.
I am going to stop now before I apologize for something and ruin all the good I did by avoiding it this time! ^_^
Katara had, for the first time since she decided to go after Aang and abandon her family, done something selfish, something just for her benefit and no one else's. One of the Acupuncturists from Omashu had come up to her—when she escaped the angry looks of everyone, disappointed that she'd hurt Aang like she had—and asked, at first, for her help in organizing the medical teams on their ships. Everyone would travel with their own supplies to help ensure nothing important was forgotten.
She'd spent three days helping them organize things, including courses for those willing to help but uneducated in medicine. She'd nearly forgotten about her fight with Aang, and the fact that no one seemed to want to speak to her anymore. She was, without the fear of impending battle, happy.
Then they had asked her to board the ship with them. To continue her lessons over the three weeks it would take them to reach the rendezvous point. She asked for time to think the decision over, reminding them that she was meant to travel with Aang and the others to keep an eye over everyone's progress from the air, and reminding herself how skilled she was becoming at lying.
She wanted nothing more than to escape the torture of being close to Aang—who surely hated her—and Zuko—who probably hated her more now than every before—Toph—who was surly enough and would only be worse—Sokka—who wouldn't understand....
But she didn't feel like she could abandon them all the same.
She had, in the course of wondering how she could still teach them and honor her duty to Aang, run into Zuko. But it was not the shaggy-haired, almost kind, even-laughed-on-rare-occasion Zuko that they had come to know over their travels. He looked like he had when he was still Prince Zuko, the one who wanted to kill them all and probably mount Aang's head on his wall.
They'd stared at each other for a long moment and she'd wondered at what to say. "I will fight by your side. But do not expect anything else of me." He snarled, storming past her. Katara had wavered on her feet for a moment, and a year ago she may have cried. But now she was a Waterbending Mistress, declared as such by Paku himself who never looked at women to be worth anything at all...
She took a breath that shuddered through her and found the Acupuncturist who was leading the healers in her stead. Aang had come as close to mastering Waterbending as he would before going into battle. They didn't need her anymore. "I will be leading you in the battle." She reminded him, trying to hide how her hands were shaking, "And I would be honored to sail with you as well." She instantly regretted being so selfish the moment the words spilled out of her, but she wouldn't let herself take it back.
Her mother had always taught her that you helped those who needed it, not just the ones you wanted to help.
She packed her things and moved into the healers quarters. They would leave port in three days, just a day after the warriors who would be following Toph and Sokka into battle. She considered not telling anyone of her decision, but knew the rumors would spread no matter what she wanted. So, after much procrastination, she hunted down Iroh and cornered him.
"I've decided to go aboard the Healers' boat. They need more training if they're to be of any use at all." She told him, trying to sound like her father did when he was commanding the people of the village, or like Yue had when she'd decided to give her life to save the Moon Spirit. She didn't want to leave room for him to dissuade her, mostly because she was terrified that he could convince her not to go. He'd blinked at her, stunned.
"Katara..." He started, and then he stopped himself and hugged her. "Maybe that's just what you need." He told her with a smile that was so sad it almost made her cry. "You remind me very much of Zuko's mother, you both spend far too much time trying to make everyone around you happy." He glanced down at the floor and then back up to her. "I cannot say if it is right or not, but I will support you if it's what you've decided."
She could have kissed him. "Thank you." She whispered, unable to find her voice. "Thank you."
"The others won't be happy about it."
"I know." She admitted.
"And you're still going to do it? I am proud of you. Even a few months ago you would never have considered it for a moment."
"A few months ago I hadn't alienated my whole family." She murmured. Sounding far older and sadder than she ever had before. Iroh opened his mouth to dispense some of the wisdom he was known for, and then changed his mind at the last minute. She had done all she could, it was up to the others in her life to start being as responsible as her.
Sokka had found out just in time to see her off. He had walked there—more like dashed—ready to shout at her for being rash and demand she stay with them, but by the time he'd reached the docks he'd changed his mind and only hugged her tightly.
She would never stop helping. But after the argument with Aang and the awkwardness with Zuko she had become so miserable around the others. The only time she was still herself was when she was helping teach people to heal and leading others.
He knew he couldn't always help her, but she would always be his little sister and it was hard to watch her sail off into battle as he had once watched their father. "I'll see you there." He told her, and then twice more. She smiled and nodded.
"Of course. But don't rip your pants on the way because I'm not going to have the time to mend them for you." She told him, focusing on such mundane things was easier. They might never see their father again, they had known that when he'd sailed away that day so many years ago, and now they were parting and they didn't want to consider how this might be their last moment together.
"You're doing a good job." He told her, looking away and trying to swallow the lump in his throat. "I mean, they're women, and shouldn't be fighting in this war anyway. But you're going a good job all the same." he coughed into his hand and spun away with the motion, trying to discreetly scrub at his eyes. Katara sniffled loudly and launched at him, hugging him hard enough to make his bones creak.
"Sokka, you're my big dumb brother and I love you. Please, take care of them all for me. Make sure Toph doesn't overestimate herself and Aang...just try to understand him." She snuffled again and rubbed her eyes in the soft cotton tunic he wore. "And do what Iroh says, he really does know what he's doing." She told him, pulling away but refusing to let go of his shoulders as though he might vanish then and there.
"And Zuko?" Sokka asked, and Katara looked away then. He sighed and reached out to tug her hair loopie. "I told you before. I don't mind. I mean. I don't want you with anyone 'cause you're my little sister. But if it has to be someone, I don't mind him." Sokka reminded her, sounding almost serious. Katara didn't like that. He was supposed to be her dumb brother, he wasn't supposed to be a serious leader who knew just the right thing to say. He even had a shadow of a mustache growing and it just hurt to realize how much they'd really grown up. She didn't feel anymore grown up than she had when she'd first met Aang and explored the ancient Fire Nation ship.
"I'll miss you." She told him, not knowing what to say about Zuko, she wasn't certain herself. For so long she had mistrusted him, and then when she'd seen how others were so quick to turn on him it was hard not to take his side...but to call him more than a companion? She wasn't certain she could reconcile the two sides of him that she had seen.
"You're doing the right thing." He told her. Nodding once and then turning and leaving. No use letting her see her respectable big brother sobbing like a little girl at the thought of being so distanced from his sister.
Aang, so busy still combating his desire to remain angry with Katara for her betrayal, and the fact that he knew he should forgive her, did not know she had gone with the healers until she'd already left.
He paced in front of Appa's stall for a long time, trying to decide if he should go after her or not. And if he went after her, should he be angry when they met up again? Or should he beg her forgiveness? In being without her suddenly after having her as so true a constant in his life for so long...it was painful, but worse by a thousand times to realize that she was gone because he had driven her away.
He knew, even being furious with her, that she felt like he didn't want her around anymore, and so she'd left. She'd been trying to help him. She was always trying to help him.
He made up his mind, then and there, that when they met up on the shores of the Fire Nation he would forgive her for everything, and apologize himself for how he had acted. He wasn't ready yet to admit that it was partly his fault, but to be so clearly faced with losing her, he knew it could not wait in times so dire as these.
Katara was feeling better than she had in months. It was true that she worried for her life and the lives of everyone she cared for, but she could focus—now--on something she knew. Healing came so naturally to her and suddenly people were looking to her to lead and she found that the position suited her well. More than a few men from Water Tribes hiding in the western swamps and eastern bays had come up to her after a few days on the boat and even asked for her help. They were warriors and had been selected from all those willing to fight to defend the healing tents specifically, but if they were not directly needed for fighting, they said, they wanted to help. She couldn't teach them enough tricks to make them healers or even assistants. It was one of the women who suggested putting them to work cleaning bandages and sheets or even cooking.
At first they had approached the task with as much distaste as Sokka would have. But soon, confined among so many women and Earth Kingdom men who saw no problem taking orders from women they changed.
They learned how to wash things in boiling water and how to make stews which could keep on low fires for hours and be added to if more were needed. But most of all, they learned that women knew their realm as well as men knew theirs.
"I hadn't realized. Cooking and cleaning...it can be as hard as fighting. Only if you get hurt it's generally not a sword to the gut." One of the men confessed to Katara after a meal. He had seven children and a wife—the wife had died in a Fire Nation raid—and he'd considered trying to help her with things. Fighting was the only life he knew. "I've been hurt in battle, and given as good as I got. But I never saw what you healers do trying to put us back together again." He explained, swallowing hard and looking away. His hands were bound tightly, he'd assumed that if he could handle warfare he didn't need potholders to life a kettle from the fire.
"Your wife would be proud of you." She told him and he laughed, turning it into a cough. For a moment Katara pretended to be interested in a guttering lamp that hung above her while he wiped tears from his eyes.
"She would be disappointed that two weeks of being surrounded by women and trying to listen and I still can't make a decent pot of tea and all the things I clean come out stained still." He told her. "My youngest daughter is your age." He told her, suddenly changing his whole demeanor. Katara had gotten used to knowing just what to say and knowing all the answers, she was suddenly thrown off balance and so just blinked at him. "I know you can be trusted. I've seen you practice fighting and you're..." He swallowed and plowed onward, "You're better than I am." His voice pitched low so that only Katara could hear him, but her heart still fluttered at the compliment. He reminded her so much of her father that it seemed—for just a moment—that it was her father offering the compliment instead. "I feel like I've failed you. You kids, even the Avatar's just a child, none of you should have to shoulder our burden."
"It is all of ours." Katara told him, trying to imitate Iroh. "I choose to help, not because I feel like I have to, but because I want to be a part of the solution." The man snuffled into the sleeve under his armor and nodded.
"If my daughters turn out to be anything like you, I will be a very proud man." She smiled at him.
"Hopefully my father will feel the same way."
The first few days aboard the boat she had longed for shore and strained her eyes staring at the horizon, looking for even a white speck which might be Appa. As time went on, however, she settled into thinking little of herself and focusing solely on the people around her. They depended on her, not like Aang and the others did, but they looked to her to lead them, and teach them, and even to comfort them that this was the right thing. They would win this battle.
Katara had thought that Aang would inspire hope in a hopeless people, but aboard the ship she learned differently. People saw Aang as their chance, a weapon which might give them the edge they needed. It was Katara who inspired them to hope.
So she stopped thinking of Aang, of Sokka, of anything beyond these people and what needed to be done here. When they landed on the shores of the Salt Flats then, she had almost forgotten how much she longed to see her friends. Instead she set straight to work commanding the people who were working the unload and setting a few women in charge of erecting the tents. She wasn't taking care of her older brother and people who knew they needed her help but looked at her like an annoying, stick-in-the-mud nag. These people, they looked to her like a leader, and that earned her attention.
"We're going to need the largest tents for the injured, those of you acting as healers will sleep in shifts so the tents for us will be smaller." Katara explained, using a stick to draw in the dirt a rough outline of how she wanted the campgrounds to look. She'd planned it to back them up as much as possible against the ocean to keep as small a front open to attack, and she wanted the patients tents to be close enough to the water that if need be those skilled at Waterbending could defend them—and she had a steady supply of water to heal with.
She was laughing and helping two older women hold up the interior of the largest tent—with little skill—while a scattering of others tugged at the cables and tried to pull it taut when she first heard the shouting. She couldn't make out what they were saying but even through the heavy cloth of the tent she saw the shadow of Appa flying overhead.
All the worries she had pushed aside to focus only on this duty came flooding back. Her heart leapt into her throat and fell into her toes all at once as she realized she would have to face Aang and Zuko both. She knew that what she decided here would say a lot about her, and the person that she had become. She glanced at one of the two women with her, and then to the tent above her, listening to the people outside shouting cadence to try and organize their pulling.
She did not leave.
Later, she decided, when things were more settled she would of course go and see how they were all doing; make certain they were eating well and Sokka's clothing was all mended. But for now, she chose, instead, to be a leader to the healers instead of a mother to her friends.
She was helping set up beds and worktables within the tent when she heard the women gasp and saw, out of the corner of her eye, two women beat a hasty retreat from the tent. Dropping the sheets on the bed and curling a full pitcher's worth of water around herself she spun to find that Zuko stood in the opening of the tent. With an annoyed sigh she urged the water back where it had come from and settled her hands on her hips. "You should be preparing. Tomorrow everyone will be here and once that happens---"
She stopped talking, so surprised was she by Zuko's reaction to her annoyed lecture. With several long strides he was standing in front of her. He stood there, silent for a moment before he swallowed hard. His hand twitched at his side, almost raised, and then fell back into place. "I don't know how you feel, or if there was any...merit, to Aang thinking you...cared about me. But...But I wanted you to know that I care about you. I don't know if that's worth much to you, but it's true, and you should know." He told her, sounding more like a man about to be killed confessing his sins than a boy telling a girl he liked her.
She didn't know what to say to him. She hadn't allowed herself to eve entertain thoughts about her situation, even after the argument with Aang. She had always been too concerned with something else, or she had specifically pushed it aside, thinking that maybe if she ignored the feelings she wouldn't have to hurt Aang.
"Aang..." She started, trying to find some way, any way, to explain the tangled mess of what she felt.
"Is not here. I care about you Katara. Not your brother or Aang or anyone else." His fingers twitched again and this time moved, grabbing her hand in his and just holding it. She could feel the callouses from using his swords and the internal heat of him. She had noticed that when he and Iroh had been injured. They were both always so very hot. "You don't have to feel the same about me, but tell me how you feel. Not how everyone else might respond."
She bristled slightly at that. Whether it was true or not she was getting awfully tired of people treating her as though she were only a worry-wart and a nag. She could do other things besides take care of everyone else.
So prove it. That little internal voice urged. As a child Katara had always pretended it was the voice of her mother, speaking to Katara from her place in the sky and trying to impart the wisdom she'd never been able to in life.
Katara swallowed hard and glanced down at the packed earth between their feet, then back upward to meet Zuko's eyes. "You shouldn't say things like that." She whispered horsely. Zuko's hand stiffened against hers and his eyes narrowed as he tried to pull away. She clung fast to his hand though and smiled even though he'd looked away from her. "We have a tradition in the Watertribe, that if you have unfinished business someone when you go into battle, it means that you will always return to them." She explained, remembering how her father had promised both she and Sokka that he would take them to see the Northern Watertribe City when he returned. "And," She swallowed another lump in her throat and blinked back tears. Some Waterbending Master she was, sniffling like a little girl with a crush. "And I don't want to think about what I would do without you." She admitted quietly.
Zuko turned back to her and offered that little smile he had, the one that only turned up a corner of his mouth. "Does that mean you care for me too."
"I'm not telling until you come back to me." She told him, but she couldn't stop smiling, nor crying. His smile grew and his other hand lifted to cup her cheek.
"You are terrible at keeping secrets." He told her.
"Maybe I'm just very good at lying." She suggested, her heart humming in her chest so quickly she feared she might die of the giddiness.
"You suggest a peasant like you could lie well enough to fool someone who grew up with Azula?" He scoffed, almost managing to school his face back into the stern look he'd always worn when he was nothing more than Prince Zuko who hunted them. He couldn't stop smiling either.
Okay, so we had Katara doing stuff for herself without thinking of the others first and Zuko confessing his feelings all in one chapter! (AAAH) Seriously though, be brutal. I want to improve you all know that, and I can't improve if you let me make the same mistakes over and over again. I do think I supported Katara's actions and made Zuko's confession fit, but I want to hear from you. This story wouldn't have gotten half so far without you guys and I really want you to be happy. Of course I'm going to be happy with it, I wrote the dumb thing. ^_^

London: Arsene Wenger insisted he had no problems watching Arsenal win ugly as the Gunners ground out a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace.
Wenger`s sides have traditionally excelled at overwhelming opponents with their flowing football, only to crumble against teams that pose a more physical challenge.
But they showed a much-needed resiliency to resist Palace`s aggressive approach at Selhurst Park on Saturday and climb to third place in the Premier League, even though they had a late scare when Glenn Murray pulled a goal back in stoppage-time and then hit the post with a header in the dying seconds.
After scoring early and late in the first half through Santi Cazorla`s eighth-minute penalty and Olivier Giroud`s close-range finish, Arsenal faced an onslaught in the second half and they rose to the challenge.
"It was about fighting and playing," Wenger said. "Crystal Palace is a team which plays with a lot of intensity and with a very direct game.
"It was important for us to resist. We did that well. After going in 2-0 up at half-time we came out in the second half much more to protect our lead.
"When it came back to 2-1 we were a bit fortunate. But in the end it was a very important win for us."It was on January 18, in the 2-0 victory away to Manchester City, that Wenger`s men first showed that they could mix style with steel in challenging away games, and here they needed all the stubbornness that Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny could muster in the centre of defence, as well as Francis Coquelin in front of them.
Even so, Arsenal almost conceded a late equaliser, and Wenger admitted that it had been a narrow escape.
"Certainly, they thought: `It`s done`," Wenger said. "But you know in the Premier League, it`s never done, especially at 2-0. The players switched off too early.
"But our defenders played very well here against a very physical game. We just continue to fight."
Palace manager Alan Pardew was proud of his team`s battling spirit and of the way they refused to be overawed by Arsenal.
And, despite a second successive defeat, he believes the players will gain in confidence over the rest of the season as a result.
"The first goal was tough on us because it looked like the incident was outside the box and the second was offside," he said.
"But we continued with the game plan and I was very pleased with the reaction.
"We took a tactical decision to take the game to Arsenal and it`s probably the best we`ve played since I`ve been manager.
"In the second half we stayed on the front foot and took the game to Arsenal."
Pardew felt it was only bad luck, when Murray`s late effort hit a post, that denied the Eagles what would have been a remarkable escape.
"The chance when it hit that post and it fell into the goalkeeper`s hands summed our day up," he said.
"I thought it was going to spin into the net. There was some great team play and probably the best players were on our team.
"We had some great individual performances. If there is one criticism, we should have taken our shots earlier. Our final moment in that box needs to improve but we are not far away from being a decent team.
"But we`ve lost and sometimes that happens. We`ll have to take this confidence into the game against West Ham next Saturday."

Buffered Store Design to Approach Two-Ported Cache Performance with a One-Port Array
Original Publication Date: 1997-Aug-01

Disclosed is a method to hide store access to the cache, simplify bus scheduling, and permit a fast unidirectional bus for fetch and store.
Buffered Store Design to Approach Two-Ported Cache
Performance with
a One-Port Array
Disclosed is
a method to hide store access to the cache,
simplify bus scheduling, and permit a fast unidirectional bus for
fetch and store.
Two ported
caches, merged instruction/data caches in
particular, require nearly twice the silicon area at constant
performance of a single port array design.
Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processors
generate enormous memory bandwidth requirements on an
instruction/data cache, second level cache, so that fetches alone
will drive nearly 100% (95%) utilization of the cache array and cache
data bus. Thus, it is desirable to accommodate stores to the cache
in a nearly transparent fashion that does not impact fetch latency
or bandwidth without significant area cost to the cache.
As shown in
the Figure, the proposed processor partition has
4-cache Main Store Control Unit (MSCU) chips surrounding a fixed
point processor chip and a floating point unit. In order to have
sufficient main store bandwidth, a 32-byte data bus to main store is
required. This naturally dictates a four-way partition or four-way
interleave of the data in the four-cache arrays. Thus, each cache
array on each of the four-banks (or chips) has eight-bytes or a
double word of data width with its own physical read/write controls
and address port. If each of the four array banks is allowed to be
either ganged or unganged and separately controlled, then a fetch or
store of eight-bytes or less, not crossing a double-word boundary,
need only cause one of the four cache array banks to be accessed.
Thus, it is
possible to do multiple load and store accesses per
cycle if the loads and stores all respectively reference different
cache banks. Two simultaneous array loads plus two simultaneous
array stores could be allowed if two load address generation
addresses are implemented in the processor.
For cycle
time (critical path) signal, Input/Output (I/O)
limitations, and complexity reasons, the processor implements only
one load/store address generation unit. Because the four-bank cache
shown is a merged instruction/data cache, however, branch and
prefetch instructions are also fetched, often in 64- or 128-byte
lines, from the four-bank cache. The combination of instruction and
data fetching drives the cache data bus close to 100% utilization
for extended bursts between instruction/data cache misses. The
four-cache array chips drive a common 32-byte cache data bus as a
single bus entity.
theory reminds us that, from a bus stand point and
given a fixed total data path, one mixed instruction data bus of
32-bytes (a big server) will out perform two 16-bytes dedicated
busses; e.g., two smaller servers, 16-byte instruction plus 16-byte
Even though
the fetch cache data bus is full, however, the
actual cache arrays of four-b...

Swift, the specialist first and second charge lender is expanding its head office in Brentwood to meet the requirements of new customers and support a rapid increase in business volumes.
In October Swift announced that it had doubled its mortgage volumes from April to September compared to the same time last year, and now it is increasing its head office space to accommodate the new staff it has taken on to maintain its service standards.
Swift now employs 120 people compared to just 71 a year ago. It has increased staff by over 25% in the last six months alone and as business volumes continue to increase, the recruitment of new staff continues.
Swift has focused particularly on recruiting for its new business processing and sales teams in order to continue to cater for the demand shown by mortgage intermediaries for its range of specialist mortgages and secured loans.
John Webster, chief executive officer at Swift, says: The past year has been one of tremendous growth for Swift and were mindful that this is thanks to having a team that take a personal responsibility for service.
Our rapid expansion in the number of staff helps to ensure not only the continued growth of our company, but also the high service standards for which we are known throughout the mortgage industry.

Human Rights Day 2011
It has been a year like no other for human rights. Human rights activism has never been more topical or more vital. And through the transforming power of social media, ordinary people have become human rights activists.
This year, millions of people decided the time had come to claim their rights. They took to the streets and demanded change. Many found their voices using the internet and instant messaging to inform, inspire and mobilize supporters to seek their basic human rights. Social media helped activists organize peaceful protest movements in cities across the globe - from Tunis to Madrid, from Cairo to New York - at times in the face of violent repression.
Human rights belong equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values. As a global community we all share a day in common: Human Rights Day on 10 December, when we remember the creation 63 years ago of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
On Human Rights Day 2011, we pay tribute to all human rights defenders and ask you to get involved in the global human rights movement.

I have been on a Robin Maxwell streak and after reading Mademoiselle Boleyn, I was curious to read more about Leonardo da Vinci's life. This book is set in the mid 1400's and focuses on the life of his mother, Caterina. She was raised by her father Ernesto, her mother having died soon after childbirth. An aunt also helped cook for them, Magdalena. Her father owned and ran an apothecary shop, selling medicinal herbs and such to the city of Vinci. At age eight, the number of Infinity, Ernesto began teaching Caterina even more feverishly. He began with the story of his apprenticeship to the Florentine historian and scholar, Poggio Bracciolini, who was employed by Cosimo de Medici. After the destruction of the great library in Alexandria in Egypt, many scrolls were scattered around the world. The Christian church fathers hid them, because they were deemed heretical. Heretical means a notion that cannot be found in the Holy Scripture. It was very dangerous in those times to be a heretic. And that is what Ernesto was. He introduced Caterina, his beloved daughter, to his world of knowledge and heretical books. He also introduced Caterina to his alchemical laboratory and furnace.
Caterina tended the apothecary garden, watching the seeds grow and gathering needed supplies in the woods. She read Plato, Euripides, Homer, Xenophon, Ovid, Virgil, Livius and Cato. In appearances, Caterina and her father were devout Christians. They attended Mass, made communion, and swore allegiance to the pope and Rome. Ernesto took care of the friars at no charge- he said "it was better to be a living hypocrite than a dead truth teller." (page 17). In private, Ernesto called Caterina Cato, and they worshipped the natural world, the Elements and Cosmos. In time Caterina hit puberty and didn't deal with it very well. She began wandering more for longer periods of time, and that is how she met Piero, son of Antonio. With her hormones raging they decided they wanted to marry each other. Piero promised to ask his father's permission, and they made love that night. Caterina didn't hear from Piero the next day, and decided to find him. She ran into his brother Francesco, who told her it had gone badly. Caterina finds herself pregnant from the one night, but still Piero's wealthy family won't let them marry. After giving birth to a son, Piero and his father came to take him the next day. Piero had already married in that time, and the family wanted their only grandchild raised with them.
Caterina talks the family into letting her be his wet nurse, and she lives in the barn with him for two years. Only Francesco is kind to her- the rest of the family, including Piero and his barren wife, ignore her. Once it was time to wean him, Caterina was once again forced out. She moved back home with her father and picked up work again. She lived without her son for several years. Francesco would help her meet her son Leonardo in secret, and he still remembered her. Soon the family was too busy with the death of their grandfather, and Caterina brought Leonardo to live with them during the day. Ernesto and Caterina began teaching Leonardo what they already knew. They discovered during this time he had a gift for art and drawing, particularly parts of flowers and insects. It was very detailed work. Piero had moved to Florence, making his way up in the Notaries Guild, still had no children. Caterina wrote him and asked him to help find a patron for Leonardo to continue his art. He agreed, and so Leonardo leaves her again. The town was not kind to Caterina, after she had a bastard child. Soon she fell into misery again, missing her son. With her father she devises a great plan. She will dress herself as a man, with a horn to urinate in public. She will go open up an abandoned home her father had owned with Poggio, and open an apothecary shop. This way she will be safe as a man, and will be able to see Leonardo.
Caterina sets off on her adventure, now Cato The Apothecary and uncle to Leonardo. It takes her a few months to clean and set up her shop, and then she/he sets off to see Leonardo. Maestro Verrochio's bottega is where she found Leonardo working. He is quick to join in with her conspiracy and treats her as his uncle. Only in the privacy of her bedroom do they embrace and he can call her Mama. Leonardo is very talented and hansome and his work takes him far, but after a sodomy trial he becomes somewhat reclusive. He dissects the human body and draws all the intricate parts, is more concerned with being a philosopher than a Christian. He refused to hear mass, to eat animal meat, and he loved both men and women. Cato/Caterina frequently fears for him and his heretical beliefs and drawings.
Cato settles into life in Florence, and is soon friends with Lorenzo de' Medici and his family. They become patrons of her/his apothecary shop. With Cato's wealth of knowledge, he is welcomed into the Platonic Academy. Soon, mayhem erupts the peace of Florence as a priest, Fra Savonarola "The Prophet of Doom", spreads evil in the city of Florence and frightens the people. Lorenzo's brother Giovanni is murdered and Lorenzo soon after dies from gout, plunging the city into chaos. With the help of her son Leonardo, now in Milan with his friend Zoroastre, her father who has come back, Bianca Sforza the future Holy Roman Empress, and Pope Alexander, they work to bring down the evil Savonarola to honor Lorenzo and his great work. He was known as Lorenzo the Magnificent. Cato had fallen in love with Lorenzo and eventually had shared that she/he was actually Caterina, a female. They had fallen in love but never shared that in public.
They are successful in bringing Savonarola to justice, and it seems Caterina ends her days as a woman in Milan. I'm not sure if she ever returned to Florence once Lorenzo had died and The Great Work was done. It isn't known what age Caterina had Leonardo, but that he was taken from her at a day old. His father Piero never acknowledged or praised him, moving on with his career and own family. With such an educated grandfather and mother, I don't find it hard to believe his genius came from them and not his father. It was historically documented that several women dressed as men to be safer and have more rights and opportunities. It was highly dangerous for Caterina to attempt such a disguise but a mother's love can do amazing things. I am sure Leonardo was a highly complicated person, as many during that time experimented with their sexuality, alchemy and the occult. When Savonarola came to power, it threatened The Platonic Academy during this period of Italian Renaissance. Books had to be destroyed or hidden very well to avoid death. Lorenzo had been a patron of the Academy and that's why it is believable he was good friends and lovers with Caterina/Cato. This book had so much to cover I don't even know if I grazed the surface. I learned about Leonardo by learning about his mother and the time period and place he lived in. He worked beside other amazing artists like Botticelli.
This book was very sexual so I had to skip a bunch, I don't feel it is necessary to make a book good. I recommend if you have a strong stomach and are passionate about history and learning about new time periods and people. It was a creative way to tell a story about Leonardo da Vinci's mother who isn't well documented, about love, religion, knowledge and art.

Styx: Master of Shadows is a gem. Coming from one of Of Orcs and Men and Impire developers, Cyanide Studios, this prequel to Of Orcs and Men was a stealth platformer that managed to sate the taste of stealth enthusiasts with its deep level design and tight controls. Its combat was criticized by some for its stiffness and unfairness to the player, but others found that it enhanced the theme of a stealth game calling back to series like Thief, Splinter Cell, and Tenchu. On March 14, Cyanide and Focus released a sequel titled Styx: Shards of Darkness to the world. Does this sequel manage to please fans of its predecessor or does it fail to measure up to the original?
Styx: Shards of Darkness starts with a more identifying visual aesthetic; the graphics are more detailed and the night levels sport a beautiful blue skybox. The mine portion has some impressive lighting. There really is a bigger sense of scale in this game than that of Master of Shadows when you go into Korrangar for the first time. There are many "wow" moments visually, especially coming from Cyanide which we commend. The animations in cutscenes are still pretty stiff but are overall improved from Master of Shadows although slightly. Still some characters in scenes seem like robots from a pizza place but they manage to not be very jarring and all cutscenes are skippable.
The story is directly set after the previous game and starts with Styx,who is in hiding in Thoben after the fall of Akenash, retrieving pay for job until approached a C.A.R.N.A.G.E squad established after the Green Plague stemming from the ending of Master of Shadows and the squad captain, Helledryn. Events lead to the main premise being a mystery to finding out about the secret of a gathering between elves and their alliance with dwarves. The secret is wild and leads Styx and his partner into sticky situations making for some of stealth gaming's most intense moments. The rival in this story, Djarak, has a sparse presence. Our main character finds out more about him and the shards of "pure quartz" leading Styx into an addicted hunt for more. The story requires a good amount of attention as some revelations come out as shocking especially to those coming in from Master of Shadows. The story is still acceptable to newcomers as well though some parts might still leave you going to the wikis for clues. The plot manages to stay interesting throughout the 9 missions given with little-to-no filler. We still have questions regarding what happens to some characters who just fall out of the story and the very abrupt ending.
Styx himself is a lot more colorful but still as mean. He frequently uses pop culture references, citing Tarzan, Terminator, Dishonored, and Thief, and has new game over screens where he mocks the player. You can turn these off and while Styx's humor is pretty valuable in the story, it isn't as great here. The adventure overall feels more defined and ambitious here than in Master of Shadows even with the cliffhanger.
The depth of the levels are increased with the bigger scale of the adventure. The foes you come across are as simple as the first but along with some advanced versions of robies and other guards are the new biggest additions: dwarves. These enemies can detect you with their heightened sense of smell, which made them interesting adversaries. On the other hand, the giant orcs in the middle end were just underutilized. There weren't many hiccups with AI pathfinding on Initiated but the main problem was that some enemies wouldn't detect you in places where they should such as the edge of shadows. I recommend at least starting on Goblin difficulty though combat is permanently crutched. The placement of enemies isn't too unfair and provide a perfect challenge with any method of traversal across the game's nine missions. Combat is still as stiff and frustrating as the first entry, so you'll still be only parrying away from guards, though they removed the unnecessary lock-on. People who found that a turn-off will still feel that way about this sequel. There are still a lot more enemies that instantly kill you anyway.
Keeping consistency with the first, there's still a lot of great platforming while sneaking around each map to complete side missions and meet the mission goals for time, kills and alerts. The feeling of jumping roof-to-roof, sliding down rope, and sneaking past guards to get an item on your way to the main goal is cathartic. The game also doesn't look down on murdering enemies, making it one of the few moments in stealth where killing doesn't cause me to load up my quick save (though perfect runs are still the best). This is all thanks to Styx's grumpy and nasty character.
The side items and faster loading into any level is convenient for speed runs. The skill tree is expanded upon, but you manage to obtain a good amount of skill points so you never have to worry about how much you need to grind for more points. The abilities from the first are all back: cloning, invisibility, etc. Crafting is now a feature though not on the fly, but at benches provided in the hub or certain areas in each level just like upgrading skills. Adding to the value is Co-op, so if you find anyone else as into stealth as you, you can test your synergy, though the mode largely feels tacked on. The trials and the ending are more platforming-oriented trials still having enemies to duck, making for a good rebreather. However, the final levels are disappointing in how they just go back to previous levels and I expected the biggest test of skills as a master of shadows from the finale, which was disappointing too. Seems like they ran of steam toward the very end.
Sound design is standard for stealth games but there is still love to be had for the sound of making a jump from seemingly impossible leaps and detection.
Styx: Shards of Darkness hits the mark of what a sequel should be: bigger and better. Any fans of Master of Shadows will feel very satisfied with this and more. The later levels and new use of enemies leave a lot more to be desired but if the cliffhanger leaves it open for new titles, then we hope that Cyanide and Focus has more in store for us. Styx: Shards of Darkness is one of the best stealth titles in a long while. It manages to bring cathartic platforming without the need of an autorun button and pure stealth that forces you to use your wits with the tight mechanics laid out to you. We hope that in the future, they bring an even bigger scale and flesh out a better third of it.
Styx: Shards of Darkness has a starting price of $39.99 on Steam. The page also provides a free demo.

Does your child talk back too much? Is he arguing for everything that you say? It's a good sign as well as a bad sign then. The good sign is – you might be seeing a future lawyer or a person with amazing capabilities who can stamp any authority. The bad sign is – he's growing stubborn and inevitably arrogant. So, how do you deal such a situation? The theory is merely listening to your child as to what he/she has to say and then make a parental decision. When a kid was asked if she argues with her parents, she said "I don't like to argue with my parents, as they always listen to me." This according to Mark Nichols is called responsive listening.
Ok, what happens when your child is talking back and arguing? First, you won't know what to do and start feeling helpless. Second, gnaws your respect. Third, destroys your authority and finally frustrates you. This is common with all the parents who don't know how to approach a situation where the child is constantly arguing. You must know how to maintain control over the situation and keep things leveled. If you are going to argue, the kid becomes more particular in proving his point and trying to get his way through.
Trying to stop your kid from arguing has three things;
• Listening to your kid and empathize his situation
• Think once again about your decision and reconsider the other options too
• Stick to your final decision and never give hope of changing your mind
You should not get frustrated when your child starts repeating his points of view. It's an opportunity where you can capitalize on the child's exhaustion of vent. You can tell your decision once again to the child at this point of time. Be calm, hold your temper for it's your child and you'll always want to do the best for him. He'll start complaining when still disagree. It'll eventually decline and stop. Wait for that moment again and let him know about your decision again. Of course, the child will have nothing more to say and will quit arguing.
If you feel the commencement of an argument, put forth the following rules to yourself and to your child;
• Let the voice decibel remain at normal levels, no screaming
• One should not talk while the other is doing so. Both of you should be given chances to complete their respective statements before a decision is taken
• Sarcastic comments or jabs will not be encouraged
You should also not let your child be disrespectful during arguments. If he talks back rubbish, do not listen to the child. Leave the room immediately without another word, but sticking to your decision. Punish your child is there is swearing. Punishment is a good way of keeping the child under control. Don't be harsh in your punishments, keep it simple yet effective. Disrespectful talking back of your child is an opportunity for you to teach him to be good. Kids learn many good things that way.

Coming Out In Our Faith Identities on National Coming Out Day
- October 20, 2014
Post submitted by Sklar Toy, Diversity Co-Chair for the HRC Los Angeles Steering Committee
On National Coming Out Day (NCOD), HRC partnered with the Queer Faith Forum and other organizations to host our first local NCOD celebration. The celebration focused on coming out to our faith communities and on claiming our faith identities as LGBT people.
The celebration took place at the United University Church at University of Southern California's campus. The afternoon's events included liturgies and readings of poems from Jewish literature, Buddhist literature and the Koran. The program also allowed attendees to share their coming out stories. One of them was Patrice Ford.
Patrice Ford, 24, is a member of the Founders Metropolitan Community Church of Los Angeles. When she was in the tenth grade, she came out to her mom and her grandmother. Because of her faith, Patrice's mother reacted very negatively and Patrice ended up packing a bag and left her home. She sought help from one of her teachers. That teacher and her partner opened up their home to Patrice and allowed her to stay and offered her support. There, Patrice learned from them that not only being gay is okay, but that she was able to learn about different religions and accepted that difference as well.
After a few months Patrice returned home, but her mother would still not discuss Patrice's sexual orientation. Patrice continued living her life as before, attending school and church services and as time passed, and her mother began to realize that Patrice has not changed from the daughter she has known all along.
These days, Patrice's mother is one of her biggest supporters. Patrice feels fortunate to be able to live openly and be able to practice her faith with the love of her mother, her family and her friends. It's stories like this that remind us of the importance of National Coming Out Day.

Reflections on the Tiger Woods Drama
It has been less than a week since story of Tiger Woods and his driveway car crash hit the news, but the ensuing drama has already been digested by our collective consciousness. Proof of this can be found in the jokes already making the email rounds. I heard one today --
Media outlets report that during the evening of the crash Tiger Woods' wife, Elin, struck his SUV eight or nine times with a golf club. But when the cops asked how many times she hit the car, she answered, "put me down for a six."
This is a golfer's joke for sure. The interesting aspect of the joke is that it exists at all. The public is fixated on this relatively mundane story of relationship upheaval. The Tiger Woods drama/car accident/infidelity allegation has survived multiple news cycles and continues to thrive. Obviously, the media wouldn't continue to report on a story that didn't satisfy our vicarious curiosity and desire for lurid details. So, why do we care about Tiger Woods' love life (or any celebrity for that matter)?
Maybe because we idolize celebrities and believe, on some level, that they are superhuman and different (better?) than us. Tiger's clean cut, polished image and incredible athletic prowess are at odds with the current revelations regarding his love life. How can someone with such a special, almost inhuman gift (the greatest golfer that ever lived!) blatantly cheat on his wife and send naughty texts to a cocktail waitress in Vegas? The dissonance makes our heads spin with excitement. How can someone so special also be so ordinary?
Like the countless other celebrities that have crashed and burned in scandal, Tiger will rise from the ashes to secure even more endorsements and mend his tattered public image. Because nothing endears us to an icon like watching them fall off that pedestal and finding out that they are just like us.

Please explain...
This photo was taken last February in Udaipur. It was a hot day. Humid as usual. Udaipur is located on a lake and the City Palace - where this photo was taken - sits high up over looking the water and across to the hills. The view was spactacular. But I was taken by its details. All around the building in strange little places were these amazing detailed little objects. This photo was of a wall with detailed tiles. It is the most amazing shade of green. Refreshing. The photo itsself reminds me of heat and cool, concrete, shade and sunlight. Yet the shape of the cut glass embedded in the wall reminds me of a snowflake.
I have used this image on my Christmas cards this year.
