based on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes roma In the first episode of The Arrangement, aspiring actress Megan Morrison (Christine Evangelista) is asked to settle a bet between two young businessmen dining at the restaurant where she waits tables.
One is convinced that he's seen her in something, but his obnoxious buddy won't pay up until she delivers a line from one of her past roles. "That is a risk I'm willing to take, Lieutenant, because last I checked all citizens are entitled to legal counsel," Megan says. "Even vampires." Evangelista plays Megan as effortlessly cool confident, with just a hint of vulnerability and she's the main reason that the new E! scripted series is a delight to watch. The 10 episode drama, which premieres Wednesday on Bravo, where can i sell my kate spade bag is a thinly veiled spin on one of the biggest mysteries of our time: the whirlwind relationship between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, which some speculate was arranged by the Church of Scientology. Following a bizarre audition process, Megan is plucked from the obscurity of her side hustle and thrust into the limelight as the new girlfriend of superstar Kyle West (Josh Henderson), whose acting career is micromanaged by the Institute for the Higher Mind, a self help organization clearly meant to evoke Scientology. Kyle credits the institute, led by Terence Anderson (an oh so serious Michael Vartan), for his rise to fame, which followed family tragedy and months of sleeping kate spade cyber monday deals in his car. When he meets Megan, he's fresh off a broken engagement to an A list actress, whose path he will cross while promoting his latest film at the Venice Film Festival. kate of spade outlet The institute sets out to find Kyle a new leading lady, ostensibly for his kate spade handbags usa next blockbuster, The Kill Plan. Terence's wife, Deann (Lexa Doig), a producer on the film, has her eyes on Megan. At her audition, Megan is asked three questions designed to reveal her "true character." Assuming she flopped, Megan prepares for a weekend getaway with her boyfriend. But their plans are scrapped when a woman shows up to his house in tears, announcing that she's pregnant with his child. Reeling from her own unexpected breakup, Megan gets drunk with her two besties, and is surprised and hungover when her agent calls to tell her she will soon be reading opposite Kyle. Megan pulls it together and offers a raw, emotional (perhaps nausea induced) performance. Impressed, Kyle runs after her and their whirlwind courtship begins with a paparazzi dodging motorcycle ride, lunch at his favorite taco spot and a trip to a romantic Mexican bungalow. By the end of the first episode, Megan has landed a contract proposal but it's not for The Kill Plan. The contract lays out the terms of what would eventually become a marriage with a cool $10 million wrapped into the deal. "There's no big secret," Kyle insists.
The contract is about his reputation and, he says with a wince, his brand. Despite warnings from her lawyer friend, Megan agrees to consider the offer first accompanying Kyle to the film festival because it beats waiting tables, and because she actually likes him. The Arrangement isn't top tier television, but it's sharper than one might expect from the celebrity obsessed network that brought us Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

The trees in Louisville are absolutely gorgeous this year. Yellow, orange, brown and red leaves make the streets look like the are covered in confetti.
I was thinking the other day about how much I LOVE the changing of seasons.
I love the chaos that even the slightest hint of cool air brings. People pulling out sweaters, scarfs, and boots when its 75 degrees---I am one of those people. and then I get equally excited when it gets warm again and I dream of eating snowcones and sitting by a pool.
But I don't think God made seasons just so I wouldn't get bored with the weather. I think God made seasons (and trees) to mimic people. Dynamic, ever changing people.
I feel a lot of hope when I look at a tree losing its leafs. I am hopeful for the season ahead.
But the tree, on the other hand, is probably less than excited for the season ahead where it sits looking dead for 3 months until life comes back into its little tree arms.
Donald Miller tweeted on Oct 16th: "All of the trees are losing their leaves, and not one of them is worried."
So true.
God, in all His genius, designed trees to grow, shed all of its growth, look dead, and then regrow.
Trees trust the Creator that He will restore life, even when things look bleak and dull.
I find hope in this when I read the story of an abused child. The story look like a dead tree with no spring in sight.
I pray that I can learn to trust the Creator with as much faith as a tree.

Calls to double food production a challenge
The Department of Agriculture and Food says increasing broad-acre yields to meet the expectations of the proposed National Food Plan would be a challenge.
The department's Director of Grain David Bowran was responding to the Federal Government's decision to launch a green paper on the plan which includes a call for food production to double by 2050.
He says broad-acre production is already efficient and yields have doubled in the last three decades.
"If were to continue to have our same water usage patterns, then I see it as a bit of a challenge to actually increase yields in a declining rainfall environment and potentially a warmer environment at the same time," he said.
"So that's a challenge and that does require a bit of a revolution.
"If you look at what actually happened in the 70s to 2000, we've adopted new varieties, we got better rotations, we suddenly had a herbicide package, compound fertiliser use plus urea, all contributed to that process.
"So if you think about Well, what are we going to have in the future? The options start to be a little limited."
The Government hopes to release its white paper by the end of the year.

Sinclair ZX81
The introduction of the ZX81 made it possible that everyone could afford a computer. First released in the U.K. the ZX81 became a top seller. Games and serious applications were produced in masses and small companies were founded e.g. Llamasoft. The ZX-Printer was made especially for the ZX81 and allowed the user to print directly from the ZX81 basic. The ZX81 sold more than 700000 times and has still a lot of fans which push the machine to its limits.
Everyone expected that IBM would somehow react. The computer giant was well known for its big computer that filled in whole rooms but they wanted to built a smaller machine. Together with two partners - Intel and a very small (and at that time totally unimportant) software producer called Microsoft - IBM produced the IBM-PC. There were only a few parts which were copyrighted by IBM themselves. One or two 5 1/4" disk drives, 64 KByte, 80 chars/line and later an optional hard disk (5 MB) made the IBM ideal for the industry. Although the first versions of MS-DOS were crap IBM was strong enough to set a new standard.
Other companies discovered very soon that only the BIOS was copyrighted. After a while they wrote a new BIOS which was compatible to the original one. Clones by Commodore and Compaq were much cheaper (1000 pounds) than the original (5000 pounds!). IBM couldn't do anything against the clone producers but Intel and Microsoft were really happy...
Commodore VC20
VIC 20 or VC20 was the name of the new Commodore machine which brought the company a huge commercial success. The VC20 was smaller as the PET but more powerful - colour games were possible together with sound. Serious application were a bit difficult because the VC20 could only display 32 chars/line.

Paris: French Prime Minister Francois Fillon on Saturday visited Ghana, Africa`s newest major oil producer, telling President John Atta Mills that France wanted to take part in his nation`s development.
Fillon travelled to the West African nation on the second stop of a three-country tour that first led him to Ivory Coast, with his final stop Gabon.
Ghana was the only one of the three on the tour that was not a former French colony, having gained independence from Britain in 1957.
Fillon said the visit showed "France`s willingness to participate in Ghana`s economic development," adding that his country was re-orienting its policies toward Africa to further engage non-French-speaking nations.
"Many French companies are interested in doing business in Ghana," Fillon said at a meeting with Mills, with 2011 GDP growth estimates for the country having been put at around 12 percent.
Besides its recently discovered oil wealth, Ghana is seen as a democratic model in West Africa. Mills narrowly won presidential elections in 2008 and is running again in the 2012 vote.
Mills said at the meeting that his country had followed the path of democracy as the only way of attaining peace and economic development.
But the start of large-scale oil production in December has raised concerns over the potential pitfalls, with some warning of the corruption and economic mismanagement that has plagued nearby Nigeria, Africa`s largest oil producer.
French foreign trade minister Pierre Lellouche was part of the delegation along with several French business executives. Lellouche was also to attend an economic forum in Accra.
Three financing agreements with French development agency AFD were signed during the visit, including one involving urban development projects, for a total of some 50 million Euros.
Fillon also paid tribute to Ghana`s contributions to peacekeeping efforts, with Ghanaian troops having participated in a number of missions throughout the continent.

Are you asking the question: how can I teach myself to sing?
If so, you are like me. :)
I was asking the same question a few years ago, and since then I have developed a singing voice that other music lovers compliment me on all the time!
So I'd like to give you a few pieces of advice that will help you discover your singing voice and it's full potential.
The first tip I've got is very important. This tip is to not judge your singing voice prematurely! Many people who want to learn how to sing think to themselves…
"I'm not that talented, therefore I can't be a very good singer"
This is simply not true. I personally have little singing talent, yet I managed how to sing in a way that makes me sound like a talented singer.
And you know what? Many singers are like this!
So no matter what stage of your singing development you are in at the moment, realize this: You DO have what it takes to develop the singing voice you want.
The key to becoming a great singer is to develop great vocal technique. And this comes down to something even more important. The singing exercises that you practice.
You see, unfortunately there are many teachers out there who do not know how to get the best out of your voice.
They may be great singers themselves, but here's the thing. Great singers usually don't make great teachers.
It's the teachers who have struggled themselves but somehow found a way to become a good singer that can teach you the most valuable information.
And I mean REALLY suck!
My father actually used to say that I sounded like a wounded animal when I sung! I joke about it now, but I used to be VERY discouraged about my voice.
I had all the technical problems you can imagine.
I used to strain to reach my high notes. My voice would become sore and hoarse after a few minutes of singing. My tone quality was terrible!
Yet now I am able to sing with beautiful tone quality, and in a completely effortless way. And I also learned how to expand my vocal range so I can now hit sky scraping notes easily and with great tone.
Here's the thing that changed my vocal life around. (And it definitely wasn't talent!)
After asking myself how can I teach myself to sing over and over again, I discovered a highly effective method of learning to sing. A process that actually "forced" my voice to sing with excellent technique.
It sounds strange, but there are certain exercises that can force your voice to operate in a "technically correct" way for singing.
And when you practice these exercises over and over, your voice begins to "drop" the bad habits and begin working the way it was designed to.
So if you are asking yourself the question:
The answer you're looking for is a series of exercises that can automatically program correct singing technique into you. Once you do this, you will be able to sing with a large vocal range, have incredible pure vocal tone, and it will all be easy and effortless.
If you're interested in the vocal lessons that transformed my voice from very poor to very good, you can learn about them here.
If you have asked the question, how can I teach myself to sing? These exercises will give you your best chance at great success!
Good luck!

When faced with the challenge of how to improve a city, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Infrastructure? Talent-retention? Parking? Politics? Probably not design.
But design thinking is actually a driving force behind People's Liberty, a philanthropic lab that brings together civic-minded talent to address challenges and uncover opportunities to accelerate the positive transformation of Greater Cincinnati.
Unlike other grant-making foundations, People's Liberty distributes funds directly to individuals rather than organizations — similar to McArthur Genius Grants — from whopping $100,000 yearlong Haile Fellowships to $10,000 Project Grants. The organization also offers Globe Grants of up to $15,000 for individuals to create provocative street-level installations and pop-up experiences inside the Globe Furniture building People's Liberty is renovating in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Once deemed one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the U.S., the area is gaining national attention for its remarkable revitalization — and it's no accident that the civic-minded lab is getting down to work in the thick of it.
In addition to the Haile Fellowships, Project Grants and Globe Grants, People's Liberty is rolling out a paid, three-month residency program that gives motivated, early-career talent the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, make valuable connections and create a strong portfolio of real-world work. These on-staff residents are master storytellers — graphic designers, writers, bloggers, Twitter gurus, photographers, animators and videographers who know how to harness their skills to produce inspiring narratives and amazing visuals.
|Do you like to break a few rules?
If so, this limited-time collection is for you, featuring Denise Bosler's latest title, Creative Anarchy, and Aaron Draplin's popular session from HOW Design Live, "HOW to Use Graphic Treasures from the American Underbelly." This kit challenges you to break the rules and let your design work live a little. Become an Instigator of Creative Anarchy now.
People's Liberty is making big bets on creative innovators who have identified major local challenges and found ways to address them, all while increasing civic engagement and driving community development.
We reached out to Megan Deal, a founder and program director for People's Liberty, and asked her to weigh in on why design is at the heart of every move People's Liberty makes and every person it funds.
Why is high-quality design so integral to an initiative like People's Liberty, in terms of your own collateral and image? Was it an important component of your mission from the get-go?
At People's Liberty, we firmly believe that design is not and cannot be an afterthought. We think about design a couple different ways: design as problem-solving process and design as storytelling tool. From a process standpoint, we've built a nine-step idea-to-action design process that helps us move from "idea on paper" to "living/breathing project." This process has proven invaluable for our team and drives a lot of our internal projects. The People's Process (as we call it) is also one of the tools we share with our grantees to better equip them as they prepare to launch their projects. We know that funding isn't the only barrier that prevents good ideas from coming to life; people need a process; a roadmap.
From a storytelling standpoint, design is a tool that allows us to visually communicate the ideas that matter most. Good stories have the power to make us laugh, make us cry, call us to action, persuade and inspire—sometimes all at once. Without design, great stories would still be told, but the sensibilities that connect us to them would not exist. Our approach is subtractive rather than additive; we're always striving to simplify, simplify, simplify in order to make the complex clear(er). I tend to think you can say a lot without saying much, so our visual voice has remained quite minimal.
So yes, design has been important and integral from the very beginning.
In what ways do you think design and creativity help drive civic engagement?
First off, if your goal is to build audience, your message has to be clear and compelling. There's no shortage of initiatives, organizations, projects or causes for citizens to rally behind; the question becomes how to make your initiative, organization, project or cause stand out among the others. Good design can be a powerful tool in this regard.
I think we're also in the middle of a great shift happening in design (especially design for civic engagement/public interest). The role of the designer is shifting from one who delivers the design of services or products to one who's creating a platform for experience and participation. This is hugely important from a civic engagement standpoint, especially as cities (particularly midsized cities) compete to retain and attract talent. No one wants to live in a city that's just like everywhere else. Smart design and plenty of unique, creative opportunities can help connect citizens to their place, inspire them to get involved and, ultimately, keep them rooted.
There seems to be a thread of design and creativity running through all the projects and people you are funding. How much weight do these concepts carry when you're evaluating applicants?
At People's Liberty we're first and foremost looking for ideas that are feasible. That means applicants need to establish a pretty solid action-plan. That's design. Above that, we're looking for ideas that are creatively excellent, distinct, bold and provocative. We want ideas that haven't been seen elsewhere. So yes, important.
What do you hope to achieve in this vein with the Globe Grants, in particular?
The Globe Grants are unique opportunities for individuals to implement a site-specific installation/project. Our storefront gallery is basically an 800-square-foot white box ready to be transformed. We're looking for project ideas that really consider space; that is, they're designed with both our building and the neighborhood in mind. These could be pop-up experiments, unique exhibitions, interactive installations, etc. As with all of our grantees, we're looking for ideas that are bold, provocative and creatively excellent.
What types of design professionals do you have on staff (or are you looking to add)? What do you hope their impact will be on both People's Liberty and the change the organization hopes to affect on a citywide level?
The People's Liberty team comes from diverse backgrounds, but not surprisingly, two of the five core staff members have formal design backgrounds (me, graphic design, and our other program director, Kate Creason, architecture). Our residency program caters toward emerging-level creative talent, specifically individuals who have background/experience in design or communication. It never fails; we hire designers more often than not, simply because they're the best problem-solvers. And in any kind of start-up environment, good problem-solvers are vital to the team.
On a personal level, my goal since graduating with a formal design education (I have a BFA from the College of Creative Studies in Detroit) has been to uncover/create an alternative model of professional practice, one rooted in direct engagement with people and place. My work in cities with visionary individuals throughout the U.S. has slowly, but surely, allowed me to do exactly that. With that in mind, my goal today at People's Liberty is centered on building ways for other designers to explore alternative career opportunities; opportunities not centered on selling products/services, but rather using their design sensibility to leave a direct and lasting impact on the place they call home. So far, it's been incredibly rewarding.

Watch a Touching Deleted Scene From the 'How I Met Your Mother' Finale
The final season of "How I Met Your Mother" arrived this week on Blu-ray/DVD and Speakeasy has an exclusive deleted scene from the series finale.
In "Last Forever, Part 2," Ted and Robin meet at a restaurant and talk about the good 'ol days spent at MacLaren's Bar and how quickly their lives have passed. Signals are crossed and Robin admits that she doesn't regret making the single-at-40 deal with Ted. "You were my best friend, Ted," she says. "You were more than that, and I miss you." Of course, things got a bit awkward. Still, it's a touching scene and a poignant moment from Cobie Smulders that didn't make the final cut.

''It is difficult for foreigners to understand our policy toward the Arabs, a policy based on a traditional friendship and long-term interests,'' said former Greek Premier Panayotis Kanellopoulos, historian, philosopher, and senior member of Parliament.
So far, Greece, is the only member of the European Community (EC) to give full diplomatic recognition to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Since the Socialists came to power in October 1981, the nation has vocally supported Palestinians in international conferences and, after the PLO withdrawal from Beirut this month, Greece agreed to treat some of their wounded fighters.
PLO leader Yasser Arafat also chose Greece as his first stop after leaving Beirut. A PLO spokesman said the decision to go to Greece first was ''a deliberate gesture to criticize all the Arab leaders for their stand during the siege of Beirut. . . the Greek government showed more interest than any other.'' Mr. Arafat met with Premier Andreas Papandreou after landing on Greek soil Sept. 1.
Until the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) came to power, Greece, despite its pro-Arab stand, has maintained a balance in its relations with the Arab world and the state of Israel.
As former Foreign Minister Konstantine Mitsotakis, now parliamentary whip of the New Democracy opposition party put it, ''our pro-Arab stand was not motivated by anti-Semitism or anti-Zionism.''
''We have an affinity with Jews. We sympathize with them. We are both people of the diaspora,'' Mr. Mitsotakis said.
Mr. Mitsotakis pointed out that Jews were never persecuted in Greece and during World War II. When the Nazis carried out their extermination program, Greek Jews, who decided to hide instead of giving up, found shelter among Greek families and survived.
Despite the de facto recognition of Israel by Greece ''this country kept a balanced policy vis-a-vis Arab states and Israel,'' Mitsotakis said. This balance was upset by PASOK, he stated.
Immediately after coming to power, PASOK extended full diplomatic recognition to the PLO. As a result, the PLO information bureau was promoted to a diplomatic delegation and its head, Shawki Armali became an ambassador.
Soon after that, Mr. Papandreou welcomed Mr. Arafat in Athens. The PLO leader was given a welcome befitting a head of state and he shocked Greeks as he landed by helicopter at the Athens Olympic stadium, surrounded by armed members of his personal guard.
When the Israeli attack against the Palestinians was launched early this summer, Papandreou received Farouk Kaddoumi, head of the political section of the PLO and assured him Greeks will give the Palestinians ''whatever we can.''
He also condemned Israeli aggression in Lebanon and compared the action of the Israeli Army to Nazi crimes.
''Nazi crimes against the Jews, condemned in the conscience of the entire world, are today being repeated by Israel against the proud and heroic Palestinian people.''
Papandreou's government offered troops to participate in an international peacekeeping force in Lebanon, was prepared to place ships at the disposal of the Palestinians for their evacuation, and provided 200 to 300 beds for the treatment of wounded Palestinians.
Both political observers and foreign diplomats, have seen this strengthening of Greece's pro-Palestinian position as an effort by the present government to cure the country's economic ills through Arab help and with local investment of petrodollars.
Earlier governments, including the military dictatorship and the democratic governments that succeeded after 1974, set the groundwork for closer economic relations.
In 1976 a Greek-Arab bank was founded to promote Arab investment in Greece and a new impetus was given to the Greek-Arab chamber of commerce.
As a result, Greek exports to the Arab world increased. In 1977 they covered 21 percent of the total Greek exports and in 1981 rose to 26 percent. Still they accounted for only 1.5 percent of total Arab imports.
In actual figures, exports to Arab countries are second only to EC countries and amounted to $1.07 billion in 1980 and $1.08 billion in 1981. Greece imports most of its oil from the Arab world and its imports fell from $2.3 billion in 1980 to $1.6 billion in 1981.
Greece also had many of its construction companies working in Arab countries, especially in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Libya.
This was a good source of foreign currency for Greece, ever since the late city planner, Konstantine Doxiedis, started building new towns or labor housing in Iraq in the early 1950s.
Muhammed Sayed, the Arab League's representative in Greece believes that Greece has the ability to compete with other nations for the Arab markets, especially because of its proximity to the Arab world.
Greek exporters, however, believe that they should be given favored treatment by Arabs, similar to that they have extended to them.
As a retired ambassador who served in the Arab world said, ''We had large communities in various Arab countries who had grown native but still needed our support.''
Over 250,000 Greeks lived in Egypt until the nationalization program of foreign business hit them in the 1950s and 1960s. Now there are under 10,000 living mainly in Cairo, while in Alexandria a Greek Orthodox patriarchate still survives.
There is also a Greek Orthodox patriarch in Jerusalem, while the Greek Orthodox patriarchate of Antioch in Damascus is in Arab hands.
''It was these communities and the patriarchates which influence our pro-Arab policies and it is the ideological relationship between PASOK and PLO that dictates our present stand,'' said the former diplomat.

The Ibadan team and the Plateau Peaks will replace the two relegated teams from the Premier League
Oluyole Warriors of Ibadan and Plateau Peaks of Jos have secured promotion to the Atlantic and Savannah Conferences of the 2012/2013 NBBF/DSTV Premier Basketball League.
Both teams achieved the feat after winning their groups on Thursday in Abuja at the 2012 NBBF National Division One Championship.
The Ibadan-based Warriors upstaged the Nigerian Air Force Rockets in the final game of the Atlantic Conference group with 77-55 points.
Having lost 66-68 to the Rockets on Wednesday, the Ibadan team knew only a win would be sufficient for them after their Lagos-based opponents had secured seven points from their first three games.
The Warriors' better head-to-head then gave them the edge after both sides ended up with seven points, from three wins and one, in four games each.
In the Savannah Conference group, Plateau Peaks also left it till the final game by beating Benue Braves of Makurdi 69-62.
The Makurdi side had beaten them 76-70 on Wednesday but the victory was just enough for Peaks to snatch top place with seven points ahead of Braves which had six points.
The victory ensured the Plateau Peaks were returning to the top league from where they were relegated at the end of the 2010/2011 season.
Both Plateau Peaks and Oluyole Warriors will now replace the Defenders of Abuja and the Chariots of Lagos, which were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2011/2012 season.
The Division One Championship ends on Friday at Abuja National Stadium with the Oluyole Warriors facing Plateau Peaks in the match to determine the overall champion.

Two additions made to the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix family of controllers by Rockwell Automation leverage the single design-environment and networking protocol within the company's Integrated Architecture system.
ControlLogix L73 and L75 programmable automation controllers (PACs) provide advanced memory, speed and processing capabilities for a wide range of control demands from high-performance logic and motion to information-intensive process applications.
Rockwell Automation Product Manager Architecture and Software South Pacific Region, David Black says that the new PACs have enhanced memory and processing capabilities that help improve production rates, boost overall equipment effectiveness and provide more timely data for improved decision-making capabilities.
For complex high-performance motion applications, the ControlLogix L73 and L75 programmable automation controllers link seamlessly with motion drives through Ethernet/IP and SERCOS network interfaces.
The controllers are capable of supporting as many as 100 axes, further simplifying synchronisation of complex motion applications.
Black adds that PACs such as the ControlLogix L73 and L75 controllers lower lifecycle costs and total cost of ownership for manufacturers by enabling a multidiscipline control system. Additionally, they help manufacturers optimise communications based on industry standard network protocols, which removes additional barriers to collaboration and integration.
The 1GB secure digital card that ships with each controller provides improved data integrity as well as faster reads and writes than previous CompactFlash technology. The ControlLogix L73 and L75 programmable automation controllers offer 16MB and 32MB of memory respectively.
New energy storage modules that ship with each controller will eliminate the need for lithium batteries, helping users avoid the maintenance and environmental issues associated with transporting and disposing batteries.
A USB port provides faster uploads and downloads, firmware upgrades as well as online edits. The controllers feature an on-board display to provide enhanced controller diagnostics and run-time information.

text: Hybrid Fortran is an Open Source directive based extension for the Fortran language. It is a way for HPC programmers to keep writing Fortran code like they are used to – only now with GPGPU support. It achieves performance portability by allowing different storage orders and loop structures for the CPU and GPU version. All computational code stays the same as in the respective CPU version, e.g. it can be kept in a low dimensionality even when the GPU version needs to be privatised in more dimensions in order to achieve a speedup. Hybrid Fortran takes care of the necessary transformations at compile-time (so there is no runtime overhead). A (python based) preprocessor parses these annotations together with the Fortran user code structure, declarations, accessors and procedure calls, and then writes separate versions of the code – once for CPU with OpenMP parallelization and once for GPU with CUDA Fortran.

The three Russian feminist band members on trial over an anti-Vladimir Putin protest will know their fate next week.
A Moscow judge has wrapped up the hearing and said she would issue a verdict in the controversial case a week on Friday.
Prosecutors have called for three-year prison sentences for the Pussy Riot members, who have already been in custody for five months after giving an impromptu performance in Moscow's main cathedral to call for an end to Mr Putin's rule.
The three women - Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23; Maria Alekhina, 24; and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29 - high-kicked and danced as they belted out their "punk prayer" in Christ the Saviour Cathedral in February. They were charged with hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years.
Their case has sharply divided Russia. Some believers felt offended, while other Russians have been angered by what they see as repressive treatment for the expression of political beliefs. Orthodox leaders have ignored calls to pardon the women and urge the court to dismiss the case.
The trial has been seen as part of the widening government crackdown on dissent that followed Mr Putin's election in March to a third presidential term.
"With every day an increasing number of people start to realise that if the political machine turned against girls who performed in the Christ the Saviour Cathedral for 40 seconds, this means only that this political system is scared of the truth and the sincerity that we bring," Tolokonnikova said in her final words, addressing a packed court.
Tolokonnikova said in a trembling voice, looking at prosecutors: "We have more freedom than all those people from the prosecution in front of me - because we can say what we want."
Defence lawyers said that activists around the world will show their solidarity with the band by holding a global protest on the day Judge Marina Syrova is to issue her verdict. .
Amnesty International has called the women prisoners of conscience. Musicians including Madonna, the Who's Pete Townsend and Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys have urged their release.

Went to the feed mill today to pick up some soy meal $606.00 per ton, and took the camera with me. I have seen a lot of pictures of sad old houses on here the last few days . Here are some sad barns I passed today. The first 3 pics are of a once prospruous dairy farm. Son took over ,10 -12 years ago, like to cash crop better than milk, picture tells the rest of the story. The next 2 pics, this barn was a big L shaped barn, fella had hogs.Story goes his wife was slippen around, and he hung himself in the barn. Next pic was an old dairy, out of the biz for about 20 yers, farm rented to a cropper. Last pic, hard to see, but it is the farm acrossed the road from the last pic , barn collapsed, cash cropper bought this farm too. BIG OLD BARNS ARE GOING FAST. So Iam going to start taking some pic's of them , beforethey just become a memorey. Bruce
That's why I take pics of barns, houses and machinery... my way of preserving them also.
They really are disappearing FAST!
Unfortunately this is so much more practical nowadays!!!! See the spacing in the roof tin and the yorkshire cladding on the gables, Cows need fresh air. Sam
I am over in Michigan---hope it is warm there hahahaha.
Heres a pic I took last year of the barn on the farm where i was raised. Dad's will stated that the farm was to be sold , and money divided amoung the 5 of us, and it was sold in 2010. I still rent the farm, though it is 30 mile away. Barn was built before my great grand dad bought the place in 1903. Dad always told me it was built in 1855. And his grand dad had it raised and a stone wall put under the barn in 1905. Bruce
The east end of this barn that is valiantly hanging on was added by my great-grandfather in 1914. I own most of the land that went with the place. A cousin owns the house/barn lot.
That actually worked, so here's some more!

We are living in a rather confusing era. In certain times of the year or certain parts of the world, flood and thunderstorms deluge the land without mercy; then in other times or places, there is nary a drop of drinkable water.
This is not only happening to the developing countries but in our own backyards too, from frequent California drought to submerging gulf coasts in Florida and Louisiana.
No water, no food, whether conventional or alternate food source!
Even a year 1 student knows that water is the essential factor of all living things, however, fear of diminishing usable water has become increasingly heard. This situation is not only affecting farming sector but also urban living when the water tabs run dry and the food price is escalating.
Agriculture utilizes 70 percent of total global water consumption. At this rate, it is worrisome how the world is going to have sufficient water to feed projected 9 billion people by 2050 as surface water is running low or polluted and ground reservoir water is increasingly tabbed.
The question of whether we can achieve better water management system to feed the whole world is no longer pertinent for we have no choice but to do it. World organizations, leading universities and research centers, governments and individuals have to come together to work out a sustainable water collection, utilization, and management systems. Water collection and management is a most tangled web of countless factors with each factor affects the water situation negatively or positively.
Studies conducted by leading institutions such as Columbia Water Center of Columbia University and the World Organization have indicated there are sufficient water to cater for human needs if managed properly. The broad strokes recommendations from these institutions are as followed:
Suitable Crop Growing
It is crucial to match the availability of water, biophysical environment, people social and economic capability with suitable crops for the maximum return. The crops grown has to be able to self-sustaining for local economy at the minimum. The good old day of growing water-insatiable plants in savannah region by piping in water to keep the plants alive is probably not the best practice. Looking at all possible alternate food source that are environment economical will be the way going forward.
Water Infrastructure and Water Technology Investment
One of the key success of the Roman Empire was their recognition of the importance of water supply and management. While their water infrastructure and aqua engineering were well developed and second to none, the world today is lagging in both. Unless investment in these areas takes priority and urgency, precious drinkable water will continue to be wasted.
Multiple Recycling of Water
Most drinkable water is utilized only once which is a complete waste of natural resources. In Japan, it is very common to see toilet bowls with sinks mounted directly on top of the water tank. The water used to wash hands flow directly into the tank for later flushing. This is one example of reusing water in a consistent manner. Even that, the water is only used twice. As technology advances, better water harvest and treatment may be the solution to water shortage. A flood management could well be a water resource management opportunity rather than the current disposal management practice.
Carrot Sticks
A radical change from the norm or past farming practice is unlikely to happen without clear government intervention in the form of education, incentives or aids. In Africa and India where most farmers are not well connected to the outside world, government leads are extremely important. Even in the urban area, if a change greatly inconvenient the people for the benefit of future generations, the majority of the people is not going to embrace the change without clear regulations from the government. With proper encouragement, innovation in water conservation and management can materialize faster than later.
As we inch towards 2050, the crucial point to take away is that we can no longer take water- the fluid of life, for granted. Better utilization, recycling, and innovation have to take precedent over others. What have been long practiced may no longer suitable, new thoughts and economical ways have to emerge. Without effective water harvest, the society will eventually perish.

but I love it!
Got a lot done this weekend in the garden. Fabric on the melon beds. Mulched the first tomato bed. Planted sunflower seeds. Set up the whole irrigation and timer. Spread hay inbetween the rows. 3 reasons for this; to keep the weeds down, to keep the mud down and most importantly to try and keep the feet of the little ones on the paths and out of the beds.
Here's 2 of them enjoying a little fresh baby arugula
The raddish and carrots are coming up and the cukes ans toms look good. I might have hurt my peppers a bit. I was humming right along with the landscape fabric and thought hey cover the pepper bed. keep those weeds down. I think i cooked em a little. they didnt look so hot the next day. leaves curled. brown/black spots. MEMO TO SELF. DO NOT PUT LANDSCAPE FABRIC ON PEPPER BED ON 85 DEGREE SUNNY DAYS!
I am really excited about the three sisters row. Beans are coming up like crazy and the corn is making a showing. same with the squash. BUT the bed is not getting enough sun. So the tree guy comes tomorrow and I hope to remedy that situation.
Now for some more photos!
One last thing is another note to self; the old timers always said plant out on memorial day weekend. I was late this year becasue it was so cold and wet in may. Do not make this mistake again……..

If you have ever wanted to explore the best kept secret locations in the entire Southwest United States, now it's your chance to book the adventure of a lifetime.
The Dynamic Photography Workshop offers the opportunity to work one-on-one with top nude models in spectacular locations. You will spend a week learning from a Master Photographer while helping you take your photography light-years ahead.
Join Kim Weston and Joel Belmont OMP Member #4010 as they guide you deep into the phenomenal landscapes of Lake Powell, Utah – with more shoreline than the entire west coast of the US (over 1900 miles).
Previous attendee, Salvador Andalon from NYC says, "Without a doubt – this adventure changed my perspective on life as a photographer and as a human being. Anyone interested in fine art photography should participate in this workshop."
As a participant in the Dynamic Photography Workshop, you will experience magnificent slot canyons (NOT the tourist traps of Page, AZ – but the secret ones that no one gets to photograph) as well as massive red rock arches. You will photograph models among historic anasazi ruins from the 1200′s, below towering 'tapestry' cliff walls, enjoying sweeping panoramic vistas and more – all surrounded by emerald green water and only accessible by boat.
In addition to focused projects collaborating with models each day, there will be plenty of opportunities to make a wide range of landscape images as well. Camp is set up on location with a luxury 74′ houseboat, and attendees take the 26′ cruiser out to additional locations each day.
You'll enjoy delectable meals catered to you on location, and get to enjoy evening slideshows, critique sessions, crackling campfires, and a desert night sky you have to see to believe. This is a high-demand event, both weeks quickly sold out last year, so make sure to register now if you would like to experience this amazing adventure.

Sunglint Detection for Unmanned and Automated Platforms
AbstractWe present an empirical quality control protocol for above-water radiometric sampling focussing on identifying sunglint situations. Using hyperspectral radiometers, measurements were taken on an automated and unmanned seaborne platform in northwest European shelf seas. In parallel, a camera system was used to capture sea surface and sky images of the investigated points. The quality control consists of meteorological flags, to mask dusk, dawn, precipitation and low light conditions, utilizing incoming solar irradiance (ES) spectra. Using 629 from a total of 3,121 spectral measurements that passed the test conditions of the meteorological flagging, a new sunglint flag was developed. To predict sunglint conspicuous in the simultaneously available sea surface images a sunglint image detection algorithm was developed and implemented. Applying this algorithm, two sets of data, one with (having too much or detectable white pixels or sunglint) and one without sunglint (having least visible/detectable white pixel or sunglint), were derived. To identify the most effective sunglint flagging criteria we evaluated the spectral characteristics of these two data sets using water leaving radiance (LW) and remote sensing reflectance (RRS). Spectral conditions satisfying 'mean LW (700–950 nm) < 2 mW∙m−2∙nm−1∙Sr−1' or alternatively 'minimum RRS (700–950 nm) < 0.010 Sr−1', mask most measurements affected by sunglint, providing an efficient empirical flagging of sunglint in automated quality control.

For all those who don't know, a disgraceful policy has just recently been passed through the Western Australian state government a little of a month ago. All Great White, Tiger and Bull Sharks over three metres in length within a kilometre of several beaches will be culled. The worst part? They are going to be baited. That's right, baits are going to be placed on hooked, drum lines to bring the sharks in so they can be killed by professional
fisherman. The reason is because there have been more shark attacks in recent years than there used to be, but scientists say that the cull will not help.
Bond University wrote a paper on Likely effectiveness of netting or other capture programs as a shark hazard mitigation strategy in Western Australia. They found that the bait-and-capture method is not specific to large shark species. In fact, it also targets marine mammals, marine turtles, and sharks and rays that are not implicated in unprovoked attacks on humans, many of these species are already under huge threat of extinction. Shark control activities will also put dolphins at risk which play an important tourism role in Western Australia. In addition, the likely cost of the program is expected to exceed over $1 million a year. The study suggests that shark enclosures should be used instead due to the environmental impacts of shark control activities.
Sea Shepherd Australia managing director Jeff Hansen said that they would be dumping the bodies of the dead sharks out to sea, which would only bring in more shark and make matters worse.
The IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) is a global organisation who, among other things, lists the level of risk that each animal species is at. Species that are not at risk of extinction are listed as 'least concern'. So how many of the sharks that the WA government plans to cull at at risk? Not one, not two, but all three of species. The Tiger and Bull Shark quality as 'near threatened' which means that they are likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future. Something that a shark cull is likely to push them towards. But what about the Great White Shark? According to the IUCN it is listed as 'vulnerable', and is therefore facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. And here we have the Western Australian government ignoring all evidence putting three shark species at greater risk of being wiped from our planet.
Why does it matter anyway? Surely a few less sharks in the world can't be a bad thing? Actually, it is. As top predators, sharks play an extremely important role in the ecosystem. A top (or apex) predator is a species that resides at the top of the food chain, and doesn't have any natural predators. Once you remove the top predator from any ecosystem, things generally go bad. An example of when this was done was when wolves were removed from Yellowstone National Park. First the deer numbers started increasing, because there were nothing to hunt them, and they eventually became so highly numbered that they ate themselves out of house and home. This, of course, impacted on other animals too, the ones that needed that vegetation to eat and live in. The small mammals started to disappear as well, and eventually, so did the beavers. Once the beavers left the rivers in the park started moving much faster than they used to, and thus not depositing any nutrients in the park. It was at this point that it was decided that wolves needed to be introduced into the park to fix the problem. Now, imagine this but with sharks, on a much larger scale.
And the thing is, people don't want it. People are trying to make it stop. In fact over 4000 people protested against the cull on a Perth beach recently. Even shark attack survivors such Paul de Gelder (who lost an arm and a leg to a Bull Shark in 2009) have protested against the cull. If you want to fight against this ridiculous reaction, then you can sign Greenpeace's petition here, and share it to spread the word.
If that hasn't got you convinced, here are ten facts awesome facts about sharks that might change your mind:
- Sharks can go through 30,000 teeth in a lifetime
- Sharks inhabited the earth 200 million years before the dinosaurs
- Sharks don't have any bones, they have cartilage instead
- 100 million sharks are killed a year by human
- Scientists study shark cartilage as a cure for cancer, because sharks rarely develop cancer
- Most sharks must swim constantly or they'll die of oxygen deprivation
- Sharks have an acute sense of hearing
- Shark skin feels like sandpaper
- Some shark species can live up to 150 years
- Sharks may use the Earth's magnetic field to navigate the ocean

New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on September 21 a plea by the Haryana government seeking revocation of order putting on hold the Haryana Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Act, 2015, that says a candidate aspiring to contest local bodies elections should have cleared Class 10.
The bench of Justice J. Chelameswar and Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre agreed to hear the Haryana government`s plea as Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi told the court that stay on the educational qualification by the court was coming in the way of holding the elections as scrutiny of the nomination papers would take place on Monday.
Attorney General Rohatgi told the court that staying the provision of educational qualification virtually amounted to bringing the election process to a halt.
He said similar educational provision for contesting panchayat elections was incorporated in Rajasthan and the apex court had refused to interfere with it.
Under the amended law, a person from the general category, aspiring to contest panchayat election, should have passed at least Class 10, and those belonging to the Dalit community should have passed Class 8.
The apex court on Thursday suspended the operation of the amended Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 2015, that was passed by the state assembly on September 7, after the petition challenging the amended law was mentioned before the court.
The court also issued notice to the Haryana government and the Election Commission.
The court was moved by CPI-M-affiliated All India Democratic Women`s Association, a petitioner named Rajbala and others.
The court order had come after counsel Sanjay Parikh and Kirti Singh, appearing for the petitioners, mentioned the matter before the court.
The petitioners` lawyers told the court that 83 percent of Dalit women, 71 percent of women in the general category and overall 56 percent men would stand excluded from contesting panchayat elections if the provision mandating educational qualification was not suspended.

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction & Readers Won't Believe It #Truestory
#Truestory Today, I'm mything up some debunks over at the Butterscotch Martini Girls' Blog.
Doing what, you say?
That's right. I've been reading book reviews where reviewers find parts of my stories completely unbelievable.
Now normally, an author would say to herself "I really need to work on my world building here so people can suspend reality when they read".
But what the hell do you say when the parts they're claiming are complete myth are actually based on the author's own experience?
Nope. Be a good author. Sit down and shut up.
But we all know I'm not that good. Click here to read some of the true stories I've inserted into the Task Force 125 series.

MSN Weather, like all of those MSN app, are actually pretty cool little offerings--they're Metro, minimalist and do what they're suppose to do. In 2010, MSN Weather was for many their first weather app. Not much has happened though in terms of updates, which is a shame since Mango offers a lot e.g. Live Tiles.
That's why we became a little excited to see an image of an updated version that is coming down the road. In the above screenshot from Microsoft's Jeff Wilcox (of 4th & Mayor fame), we see that it finally now has that Live Tile with the current temperature, making this app very useful for many and a good free alternative. No other details are known currently but the app is being beta tested meaning release in probably only a few weeks away.
It's great to see Microsoft finally updating some of these apps though we think it would have looked better 4 months ago.
Update: Regarding Jeff's grey theme, there's no shenanigans there. That is simply one of the theme's on his unlocked Lumia 800 purchased through Expansys. While that's a great theme, he did lose out by not having the "Nokia Blue" accent color.

Quite a few people have been asking if candidates can use iPads to complete the SQA Digital Question Papers. Previously, the answer was 'no' partly because SQA prohibited use of iPads in the same way they do not allow mobile phones in the exam room. However, this policy has now changed and some pupils at Cedars School of Excellence in Greenock did use their iPads to access the digital papers this year.
PDF Expert
The SQA Digital Question Papers are PDF files which can be read using many different apps including, for example, iBooks and Adobe Reader, but for digital exams we suggest PDF Expert which is the only app we have found that actually lets you type your answers into the digital paper answer boxes. PDF Expert lets you open the digital paper, type into the answer boxes, highlight and underline text, and add drawings and notes to the exam paper. Completed papers can be printed, saved and emailed. Cedars used PDF Expert on their iPads for the 2012 exams.
The digital papers work very well for question and answer exam papers which require short text answers. The screen shot shows how text can be typed into the answer boxes on an Intermediate 1 Computing Paper. To 'tick' the answer box, you tap with your finger.
The answer boxes can only accept text and so maths and science, where the learner has to produce equations and formulae, can be tricky to do digitally.
With a stylus, it is possible to draw diagrams, graphs and maths and science expressions on the digital paper although I still don't find it as easy as using a pencil and paper, personally (must be an age thing?). Note that candidates have the option of writing their drawings and equations on the digital paper, or on a paper copy.
The second screen shot shows my scrawled attempt to draw a graph and work through an equation with the stylus.
- Back up the iPad.
- Delete all the apps on the iPad that are not required in the assessment. This leaves the apps required for the assessment (e.g. PDF Expert, maybe Pages etc,) plus the built-in Apps on the device.
- Delete all photos, music files, videos, contacts, reminders and other documents. Clear the browser history.
- Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and delete all the accounts. This prevents access to Mail, Contacts and Calendar.
- Remove any 3G SIM card.
- Prevent access to the school Wi-Fi using the school network settings. Check that there are no other wi-fi internet access points available.
- Turn off Bluetooth: Settings > General > Bluetooth > Off.
- Now you need to prevent access to the built-in Apps, which are Newsstand, iMessages, Mail, Safari, iBooks, FaceTime, PhotoBooth, Reminders, Photos, Music, Videos
- Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
- Click on Enable Restrictions and enter a passcode
- Turn off any apps that you dont want the candidate to be able to access (i.e. all of them). This will remove the following apps from the iPad screen: Safari, YouTube, Camera, FaceTime, iTunes, Ping and installing and deleting apps. Note this still leaves Mail, iMessage, Calendar and Contacts that the pupil could access the internet to find previously hidden answers, which is why you need to prevent access to wi-fi or the internet.
- Allow Changes:
- in Location, Dont Allow Changes (this stops the iPad connecting to Wi-fi hotspots or devices)
- In Accounts, Dont Allow Changes (this prevents anyone adding a new mail or other account)
- Turn off Auto-Correction and spellchecking (unless you have permission to use them):
- Settings > General > Keyboard > Turn off Auto-Correction and Check Spelling
- (Note that the candidate can easily turn them back on � we havent found a way to prevent this.)
- You should now have an iPad with:
- no stored files, emails, photos, videos, sound recordings or other documents;
- only the apps which are required for the assessment;
- no spellchecking or auto-correct;
- no access to the internet or wi-fi;
and so the iPad should be secure.
If you have an iPad why not download some past papers from SQA's web site, try them out, and let us know what you think.

Back before my oldest started college I created a set of cards with motivational messages with the intention to send her at least one a month while she was away. At the time I had planned on blogging about them… but that was over four years ago and I can't find the original pictures now. What I do have are some pictures of the completed/sent motivational cards and a brief how-to:
- I started by gluing scrapbook papers to the backs of discarded playing cards. I just spread glue all over large 12 x 12 pages and adhered the cards to them side-by-side. When the glue dried, I cut out each individual card.
- Next, I painted, collaged and stenciled each one. In hindsight, I could have done this before cutting them all out.
- I knew I wanted to them to hang on a key ring, so I punched holes in the corner of each with my spring-loaded hole punch. It wasn't easy punching through all the layers of paper, paint and glue – I even tried using a drill on a few of them.
- Lastly, I gathered quotes and phrases to print and glue on, or write out. Embellishing with rub-ons and markers and gel pens was the final step. The first package was sent with a colorful binder ring (those things are great to store rubber bands, hair elastics, etc..).
I didn't end up sending them as often as planned, but did include a best friend, and then my youngest when she started college. When I'd visit I'd see them posted on bulletin boards, or clipped at their bedside, so I know they were appreciated!
From creating, to shipping each envelope, this was a fun project I would definitely do again.
Curious about the hearts in the photos? – Those were made back in 2011, and I have a brief how-to at tamdoll.blogspot.com.
