Arduino programming is supposed to be fun but can become frustrating and time consuming for tasks such as plotting sensor data or incorporating advanced math, signal processing, or controls routines into your projects.
MATLAB® and Simulink® address several challenges with traditional Arduino programming. The products support two primary workflows:
Read, write, and analyze data from Arduino sensors
MATLAB support package for Arduino lets you write MATLAB programs that read and write data to your Arduino and connected devices such as Adafruit motor shield, I2C, and SPI devices. Because MATLAB is a high-level interpreted language, programming with it is easier than with C/C++ and other compiled languages, and you can see results from I/O instructions immediately—without recompiling. MATLAB includes thousands of built-in math, engineering, and plotting functions that you can use to quickly analyze and visualize data collected from your Arduino.
Benefits of using MATLAB for Arduino programming:
- Read and write sensor data interactively without waiting for your code to compile
- Analyze your sensor data using thousands of pre-built functions for signal processing, machine learning, mathematical modeling, and more
- Quickly visualize your data using the vast array of plot types in MATLAB
Develop algorithms that run standalone on the Arduino
Simulink support package for Arduino lets you develop algorithms in Simulink, a block-diagram environment for modeling dynamic systems and developing algorithms, and run them standalone on your Arduino. The support package extends Simulink with blocks for configuring Arduino sensors and reading and writing data from them. After creating your Simulink model, you can simulate it, tune algorithm parameters until you get it just right, and download the completed algorithm for standalone execution on the device. With the MATLAB Function block, you can incorporate MATLAB code into your Simulink model.
Benefits of using Simulink for Arduino programming:
- Develop and simulate your algorithms in Simulink and use automatic code generation to run them on the device
- Incorporate signal processing, control design, state logic, and other advanced math and engineering routines in your hardware projects
- Interactively tune and optimize parameters as your algorithm runs on the device
- Easily modify algorithms to run on other low-cost and commercial hardware platforms

Backup the database
From refbase
There are a number of ways to backup MySQL databases.
mysqldump is a command line program which ships with mysql.
mysqldump --all-databases -p > mysqldump.sql
will dump all databases (including, but not limited to the refbase literature database) to the file mysqldump.sql after you enter in a password.
In order to only backup the refbase literature database, you can use something like:
mysqldump MYSQL_DATABASE_NAME -uADMIN_USER_NAME -p --complete-insert --opt --default-character-set=CHARSET_NAME > refbase.sql
You must adjust the italic items within the above statement to suit your setup.
MYSQL_DATABASE_NAME must match the value of the $databaseName variable in initialize/db.inc.php. For
ADMIN_USER_NAME enter the name of the MySQL user that has full access to the refbase literature database.
CHARSET_NAME must be either latin1 or utf8 depending on what character set you used on installation of your refbase database. Example: With root being the authorized user and literature as the name of your refbase latin1 database, your backup statement would read:
mysqldump literature -uroot -p --complete-insert --opt --default-character-set=latin1 > refbase.sql
The resulting backup file refbase.sql can be specified as SQL dump file when using install.php to setup a new refbase database. This is useful when you want to maintain local installations (such as on your personal laptop) that are occasionally synched with a refbase master database.
If you want to use mysqldump to backup your refbase database at regular intervals, you can use a shell script like the one below and have it executed as a cron job on your server:
#!/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH export PATH datum=$(date +%Y%m%d) cd /PATH/TO/REFBASE/BACKUPDIR mkdir $datum mkdir $datum/literature chown mysql:root $datum/literature mysqldump literature -uroot -pADMIN_USER_PWD --complete-insert --opt --default-character-set=latin1 > $datum/literature/refbase.sql gzip -f $datum/literature/refbase.sql cd /
In the above script, replace
/PATH/TO/REFBASE/BACKUPDIR with the actual path to the refbase backup directory on your server. For
ADMIN_USER_PWD, insert the password of the MySQL user that has full access to the refbase literature database (in this example, the MySQL root user). You may need to adopt other parts of the script such as the path to the mysql application or the name and charset of the refbase database.

Letter to the House of Representatives about supporting the concurrent Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Resolution
May 21, 2008
Dear Representative:
On behalf of the 3.2 million members of the National Education Association (NEA), we urge your support for the concurrent Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Resolution. We believe this Budget offers a critical downpayment toward meeting the needs of underfunded programs and fulfilling every child's basic right to a great public school. Votes associated with these issues may be included in the NEA Legislative Report Card for the 110th Congress.
We are pleased that the Budget agreement:
Provides $8.4 billion above the President's request for Function 500, and includes significant increases for education programs to help students from early childhood through post-secondary education. In doing so, the agreement rejects the President's proposed cuts to Function 500, including the plan to eliminate scores of critical education programs. Instead, the Budget will provide critical resources to proven programs such as Title I, services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Head Start, and Pell Grants.
Rejects the President's priority requests for new private school voucher program as well as rejecting Senate-proposed assumption for tripling the merit pay Teacher Incentive Fund.
Rejects the President's cuts to the student loan programs, and includes reserve funds to accommodate legislative changes that make college more affordable. These reserve funds will provide the House and Senate Education Committees maximum flexibility in finding offsets to any new spending as they complete reauthorization of Higher Education Act.
Repeats last year's inclusion of a reserve intended to protect children currently covered by the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and to serve more of those eligible .
References a tax credit for school construction bonds as a possible use for a deficit-neutral reserve fund for middle-income tax relief and economic equity as well as in a policy statement on middle-income tax relief.
Again, we urge your support for the Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Resolution.

Radwanska leads Poland to 3-2 Fed Cup win vs Spain
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Agnieszka Radwanska won her second singles match before teaming up with Alicja Rosolska to claim the decisive doubles and give Poland a 3-2 win over Spain in their Fed Cup World Group playoff on Sunday.
The third-ranked Radwanska started the day by beating Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor 6-3, 6-2 for her second singles victory of the series, only for sister Urszula Radwanska to lose to Silvia Soler-Espinosa 6-1, 6-3 on the outdoor red clay at Barcelona's Olimpico Estadio.
That left the series level at 2-2 and set up the doubles match where Agnieszka Radwanska and Rosolska beat Soler-Espinosa and Anabel Garrigues 6-4, 6-2.
The Polish pair were a break down at 4-3 in the first set, but they responded by winning seven straight games to claim the first set and build a commanding 4-0 lead in the second.
"We're Polish, we're tough, so we're not giving up any points," Radwanska said.
Earlier, Radwanska broke Torro-Flor seven times to win her second singles match in two days.
Spain captain Conchita Martinez, a former Wimbledon winner, praised Radwanska.
"She can do pretty much everything that she wants to do," Martinez said. "She can serve pretty good, she can volley, she can drop shot, she can run, but what I like the most is that she's one of the most consistent, or the most consistent player, on the tour. She always wins the matches that she has to."
In the second reverse singles match, Soler-Espinosa hit seven aces and 27 winners to deal Urszula Radwanska her second loss in the series.

SMB network appliances
As the supply and demand for network and security tools increases for SMBs, so do the options for SMB network appliances.
As the supply and demand for network and security tools increases for SMBs, so do the options for SMB network appliances. This tip, reposted courtesy of SearchSMB.com, offers a sampling of the types of products available to value-added resellers (VARs) and networking consultants specializing in SMB networks.
When it comes to adding to or upgrading network appliances for remote workers or small offices, the options are plenty.
Most remote or small offices have Internet access or security appliance boxes that combine three or more of the following functions:
Broadband link -- either for cable modem or DSL (if not both, as in many models from D-Link Corp., Linksys, Belkin Corp., Netgear Inc. and others) along with a network bridge to Ethernet (usually 10/100);
Multiport switch -- (most common) or hub (less common nowadays, but still available), with four or more ports;
Various security or networking services -- usually including a firewall, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Network Address Translation (NAT). This could also have content filtering, URL filtering and/or intrusion detection or prevention.
Product sampler
Below is a selection of products that you can either plug into an existing network periphery or use to replace existing gear at the network boundary. I've identified items as in-line when they plug into an existing periphery or replacement when they are intended to replace existing equipment. Likewise, small indicates the product is for networks with fewer than 20 nodes; medium indicates the product can handle networks of up to 100 nodes; and large indicates the product can handle 100 nodes or more. Keep in mind, this is not a comprehensive list of vendors and products.
- AlphaShield Firewall (in-line, small networks): This very capable firewall from Vancouver, B.C.-based AlphaShield Inc. plugs into an existing network and is perfect for small branch office use.
- Advantech Co. (in-line or replacement, small to medium networks): This company in Taipei, Taiwan, builds OEM hardware that many other companies use for security appliance hardware. Advantech is worth knowing about not only because of its products, but also because of the other products that its platforms make possible.
- AirTight Networks (in-line and replacement, small to large networks): This Mountain View, Calif.-based company offers a broad range of wireless networking security and performance management products, as well as wireless LAN planning and vulnerability analysis tools and services.
- Cymphonix (in-line, small to large networks): This company in Sandy, Utah, offers extremely innovative in-line network monitoring, content filtering and event management capabilities. Cymphonix's offerings span a wide range of capabilities that include threat management, application performance monitoring and network analysis. The tool can identify not only malware entering a network, but also which host is affected thereby.
- D-Link (in-line, small networks): This well-known networking hardware vendor in Fountain View, Calif., is building an increasingly wide and sophisticated line of appliances. Current offerings include items like the SecureSpot, which bundles firewall, antivirus, antispyware and other functions in a single box; and an Internet/Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) accelerator, which prioritizes time-sensitive protocols for VoIP and video. It also offers other applications to help deliver better networking experiences and numerous hot-spot products for public and private wireless networks.
- Hawking Technologies Inc. (in-line, small networks): This innovative Irvine, Calif.-based networking hardware vendor offers the HBB1, which is described as a "broadband booster" for prioritizing VoIP and other time-sensitive networking protocols. It's designed to help small networks improve performance and usability of VoIP, NetMeeting and other time-sensitive session-oriented communications.
- McAfee Inc. (in-line, small to large networks): The well-known Santa Clara, Calif.-based provider of antivirus and other security software and services also offers a broad range of network appliances, among which its IntruShield intrusion detection and prevention appliances are of great interest. These tools provide advanced risk mitigation capabilities, along with virtual perimeter and constantly updated threat identification and protection.
- Network Engines Inc. (in-line and replacement, small to large networks): One of many companies that use Advantech platforms, Canton, Mass.-based Network Engines offers a family of products that provide traffic filtering, application security, protection against unwanted/unauthorized software and even Web security solutions.
- Symantec Corp. (in-line and replacements, medium to large networks): The Cupertino, Calif.-based company's Gateway Security appliances complement other products that aim at e-mail security; virtual private networks (VPNs); centralized, policy-based security management and other services. The Gateway 1600 appliances are probably of greatest interest to small and midsized businesses, and offer a firewall; antivirus protection; intrusion detection and prevention; antispam, anti-adware and antispyware; and URL-based content filtering, plus IPSec and Secure Sockets Layer VPN support.
- ZyXEL Communications Corp. (in-line, small networks): Though this company is best-known for its VoIP offerings, many of its handsets integrate firewall, switch, NAT, DHCP and other security services in a single small-office solution.
Bottom line: Convenience has a lot of value. If small office/remote users are often willing to pay up to $1,000 or more for the convenience of network appliances that are easy to install, configure and use, then the value of convenience only escalates with size. (Appliances that target medium and large networks generally cost $2,000 to $15,000 and up.) The value of intelligently configured, self-updating and reasonably secure network add-ins or replacements cannot be overstated or oversold.

Walking in Memphis
"Walking in Memphis" is a catchy, emotive song that everybody's heard but nobody quite knows what it's about, other than a guy who ends up walking in Memphis while having a vaguely religious sort of music-inspired, soul-stirring experience.
The irony is this: while in Memphis not long ago, I was advised by the porter at the hotel not to go walking in Memphis.
And I am not making that up.
It was the day after a conference had ended and I was planning to walk to The National Civil Rights Museum, a mere six blocks down South 2nd Street from the hotel, in broad daylight. When I asked the porter for directions, he shook his head somewhat apologetically and told me to take the trolley instead.
Now, I know Memphis is no Disneyworld, but not since Giuliani cleaned up New York City can I recall somebody advising me not to walk a few blocks in a big city in broad daylight, so I wasn't sure I'd heard him correctly. He said I had. "Take the trolley," he repeated, pointing up the block.
So I took the trolley, which was actually pretty cool, being a rickety, ancient, wood-paneled affair out of the 1930's—the Lexington Avenue subway this was not. There were only a handful of other tourists on board, and the windows were down, letting in a warm breeze from the bright sunny street. We rocked along at a fast walk without seeing much of anybody, threatening or otherwise. I got off at the museum stop and walked another block to the museum itself.
If you've never seen it, The National Civil Rights Museum isn't your basic museum with huge drafty rooms lined with statues of dead Romans or glass cases filled with Anglo-Saxon farming tools. It is, rather, a modern structure grafted onto the actual Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed. And it is entirely dedicated to the events leading up to, including, and resulting from, that day.
"That day" was April 4, 1968—as any school child would know, not because they read their history books but because they've heard the other song about Memphis, the one from U2:
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.
Being a rock star and all that, Bono got the date right but the time wrong—the shots in fact rang out in the early evening, April fourth: just after 6 p.m. local time (7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time), to be precise.
King was standing on the balcony outside his second floor room at the Lorraine Motel, with Jesse Jackson and Ralph Abernathy. He was talking to Andrew Young, who was in the parking lot just below with some associates who were going to take King to dinner.
And that is when James Earl Ray, one of those strange losers who make American history what it is, fired a rifle from the bathroom window of a second floor boarding room on the other side of a vacant lot across the street from the Motel, killing King with a bullet in the neck.
Now, earlier in the week I'd made the pilgrimage to Graceland, which sits in a somewhat swankier neighborhood only 7 or 8 miles south of the Lorraine Motel, and had been thoroughly disappointed by the experience.
The ghost of "Fat Elvis," as John Lennon referred to Presley's declining years, hung over Graceland like a sequined jacket: everything from the parking lot to the peeling skin of the Elvis jet parked behind a chain-link fence seemed worn and unkempt, and a decrepitly cheesy atmosphere permeated the souvenir shops and the three—three!—fast food places at the visitor center..
(For some weird reason—Graceland is not much more than 10 minutes from the hotels and restaurants of downtown Memphis—the availability and supply of fast food appears to be as much an overriding concern of visitors to Graceland as it was to Elvis himself.)
I got out of there as fast as possible, with a pair of Elvis keychains for my daughters.
Yet the Graceland-infused trepidation I carried into The National Civil Rights Museum vanished immediately upon passing through the ticker counter and entering the very first room, which could in no way be confused with the Rockabilly Diner in the food court at Graceland.
That first room contains—and I am not making this up—a photo gallery of people who have been shot. Not shot and killed, but shot and still alive. Disfigured faces and disfigured bodies are presented plainly to the camera, while below each photograph is a page of text in which the victim tells his or her story first-hand.
The victims are women shot by their boyfriends, young men shot by gangs, innocent middle-aged bystanders shot by thieves—maybe 20 or 30 in all, but you lose count as you become immersed in their stories, which are graphic, brutal, and astonishingly detailed. After not at first wanting to actually read them but to get on with the museum itself, you want to read them all. The point—that people with guns destroy lives in the most random, unexpected, shocking, painful ways—is emphatic.
Next, there is the small auditorium with the obligatory introductory film about Martin Luther King Jr.'s times—a modest disappointment after the powerfully graphic photo gallery, being long on stirring words and short on details.
Finally, however, you leave the theater and enter a long, twisting, gently-sloping corridor that slowly takes you to the second floor of the Lorraine Hotel as it was when King died there. Along the walls, the story of the Civil Rights movement slowly unfolds through black-and-white pictures, recorded speeches, newspaper stories, the voices of those who participated, and key documents.
There are the famous Life Magazine photographs of police dogs and fire hoses being turned on young men and young women, of sweating Civil Rights marchers, firey speech-makers, and smiling KKK men facing trial in friendly courtrooms; and then there are the more gruesome photographs that didn't make Life: lynched bodies slouching from nooses tied to tree branches. There is, as well, the burned out Freedom Rider bus itself and a life-size recreation of the famous lunch counter scene. The cumulative effect of all this is to enumerate the hardships, setbacks, atrocities and small breakthroughs of the era in a way no A&E documentary can do.
Finally, on the second floor, you come to King's own room and the balcony beyond, the voices of Andrew Young and others with him at the end ringing in your ears.
You emerge from the motel blinking and dazed, shocked to recall how this country was dragged kicking and screaming into some semblance of tolerance and legal notions of equality.
But that's not the end of the museum.
Across the street and through a tunnel beneath the vacant lot is an elevator that takes you up inside the boarding house where Ray sat by a window, waited for his moment and shot King. After the powerful images of the Lorraine Motel, the displays of James Earl Rays' personal effects and the story of his two month flight and subsequent capture at Heathrow Airport are mundane, banal and pathetic—and therefore easily as striking as the images of the movement he thought he could stop.
After spending far more time than I'd planned to spend at what is commonly called the King Shrine, I emerged into a bright sun, walked the six blocks back to my hotel on hot, mostly empty sidewalks, and left for the airport.
Go to Graceland if you must, but visit the Lorraine Motel for sure.

I'm not particularly enthused about Martin Luther Kind day, nor do I think about race too much in my day to day life.
But it's nice to see someone stopping from the routine to remind of us the changes in the US and how things used to be.
Nice post, especially for a business blog.

Great piece, Jeff.
I apologize for adding something wholly pedestrian, but if you're staying downtown in Memphis, make sure to visit the Rendezvous for excellent Memphis BBQ. It's fantastic.
I plan on visiting the Stax Museum of American Soul Music at some point as well, but haven't yet been.
- Boston Kain said...
Thank you. This is not the typical post I expect to find when visiting your site. However, I was very moved by it. If the opportunity ever presents itself, I will visit the Lorraine Motel.
- the management said...
Graceland has its own, in my opinion rather better, song about someone going there and having a sort of vaguely religious musical experience there, the Paul Simon one.
- Howard Lindzon said...
great stuff as usual.
- Its_strange said...
Yes, the county was dragged kicking and screaming..Anyone want to offer a view about what we are kicking and screaming about now ? History tells us we are.
- johngalt said...
when I visited the Civil Rights Museum the featured exhibit was Negro Leagues baseball. Very interesting and a must see when in the Memphis area. Walking in daytime is fine - would strongly advise not to walk off the beaten path at night. Best BBQ is at place called Germantown Commissary east of Memphis.

Civil Rights Museum is terrific. When I visited the featured exhibit was Negro Leagues baseball - fascinating. Walking during day is okay - do not get off beaten path at night. Best BBQ is Germantown Commissary - east of Memphis - and well worth the cab ride.
- Gene said...
On a day deluged as usual with reviews of Dr. King's work, this was one of the better pieces I encountered all Monday.
Who knew the country featured such a wonderful museum?
Thanks for the exposé.
- Aaron Koral said...
Jeff: I think Dr. King would be pleased at how far America has come in terms of civil rights for minorities of color, especialy today when you have two African-American NFL coaches in the Super Bowl for the first time in history. Bear down, Chicago Bears!

The advice from the porter was unwarranted. Being the music lover you are, I wish I had known you were going to be in town. I could have shown you some of our live music treasures.

SACRAMENTO — State officials say a drought task force set up by Gov. Jerry Brown will focus on maximizing the efficiency of water deliveries to farmers, particularly those in the western San Joaquin Valley.
The governor on Dec. 17 asked California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross and others to form the task force to determine the state's preparedness for a worsening drought that already has farmers anticipating few if any state or federal water allocations next spring.
"We must do everything we can to address the impacts of water shortages and move water from where it is available to where it is needed," Brown said in a letter to top officials.
The state's actions could include establishing a clearinghouse of water storage-related information, assessing the regions most affected by dry conditions and the impacts of drought on the regions' economy, the governor stated.
The task force could help determine potential water transfers, infrastructure improvements, water trucking and other actions to alleviate the water shortages, Brown explained.
The administration "recognizes the potential seriousness of the current water situation for agriculture and is committed to doing what it can," CDFA spokesman Steve Lyle told the Capital Press in an email.
Along with Ross, the task force will include State Water Resources Control Board Chairwoman Felicia Marcus, Department of Water Resources chairman Mark Cowin and Office of Emergency Services director Mark Ghilarducci. The group will meet weekly, and its work could lead to a formal statewide drought declaration.
The task force's formation comes as the Department of Water Resources has set up its own drought management team to help farmers and others make it through what is expected to be a dry 2014. Among the DWR's principal concerns is the plight of farmers – especially those in the western San Joaquin Valley – who must operate with markedly less water than needed for crops, the agency said in a news release.
Jeanine Jones, the DWR's interstate resources manager, said the department can't make it rain or change biological opinions that have led to limitations on pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
However, the state and federal water projects "are working very hard with fishery agencies to improve operations and fine-tun as much as possible … to move water when it's available," Jones said.
When it does rain, water agencies might be able to use runoff water in streams below dams to meet needs south of the Delta, she said. The state has been working with sellers and buyers on water transfers as part of an executive order issued by Brown this spring, Jones said.
Officials from the DWR will make a presentation on the drought to the California Board of Food and Agriculture on Jan. 7. The 10 a.m. meeting will be held in the main auditorium at 1220 N St., Sacramento.

If I have four computer fans of which each is said to run at 46 dB, and they run close to each other, how loud is the whole system?
I somehow recall from my physics course that 10 decibel more means twice the noise, is that right?
So would it be 66 dB for four such fans then?

Endorsements and Reviews
"We all know—or think we know—what science consultants do on Hollywood
films: they check accuracy. They would be wrong. David Kirby shows the
relation as much more complex, and vastly more interesting than that.
Hollywood wants a landscape of verisimilitude, an elaborately produced
naturalness, and legitimization of their image of the future. For their
part, scientists can alter the public status of their fields and gain a
powerful hand in articulating visions of how their own fields might
work, from supercomputing to genetic alteration. This is an original
study of a field that combines real knowledge of Hollywood films,
scientist-consultants and science studies. It is fun to read, taking you
to the back and forth between science and film everywhere from 2001 to
Contact and Minority Report. I recommend it with enthusiasm."

Abstract: This report summarizes selected findings of a three‐year research effort undertaken by INSEAD, Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Bocconi University, and the Leon Kosminski Academy. It is part of a larger European Commission‐funded study, entitled "RESPONSE". This project has aimed at understanding how multinational firms see their responsibility towards society and how this is aligned (or not) with the expectations of their stakeholders. Preliminary findings were developed in a final report which was presented at a conference in autumn 2007 at INSEAD, Fontainebleau (please find link in the appendix).

This is my third vehicle with a K&N filter. My Silverado 1500 has a cold box,that helped fuel consumption by 2 or 3 mpg. In my Vette I just installed filter only. Too soon to check mpg, but throttle response does seems better. It's a stock LT1 with 300 hp, that gets 24 mpg at highway speeds. 2 or 3 mpg would be welcome.

Susanne Langer
American philosopher
Susanne Katherina Langer (December 20, 1895 – July 17, 1985) was an American philosopher of art. She is best known for her 1942 book Philosophy in a New Key.
- Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.
- Feeling and Form, ch. 19, Scribner (1953)
- Art is the objectification of feeling.
- Mind, An Essay on Human Feeling, vol. 1, pt. 2, ch. 4 (1967)
- Music is the tonal analogue of emotive life.
- Feeling and Form, ch. 1, p. 27, Scribner (1953)
- Probably the profoundest difference between human and animal needs is made by one piece of human awareness, one fact that is not present to animals, because it is never learned in any direct experience: that is our foreknowledge of death. The fact that we ourselves must die is not a simple and isolated fact. It is built on a wide survey of facts that discloses the structure of history as a succession of overlapping brief lives, the patterns of youth and age, growth and decline; and above all that, it is built on the logical insight that one's own life is a case in point. Only a creature that can think symbolically about life can conceive of its own death. Our knowledge of death is part of our knowledge of life.
- Philosophical Sketches, Ayer (1979)
- Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.
- Feeling and Form, ch. 1, Scribner (1953)
- It is the historical mind, rather than the scientific (in the physicist's sense), that destroyed the mythical orientation of European culture; the historian, not the mathematician, introduced the "higher criticism," the standard of actual fact. It is he who is the real apostle of the realistic age. Science builds its structure of hypothetical "elements" and laws of their behavior, touching on reality at crucial points . . . . But the historian does not locate known facts in a hypothetical, general pattern of processes; his aim is to link fact to fact, one unique knowable event to another individual one that begot it.
- Philosophy in a New Key (1941)
- If we would have new knowledge, we must get us a whole world of new questions.
- Philosophy in a New Key (1941)
- The men in the laboratory... cannot be said to observe the actual objects of their curiosity at all. ...The sense data on which the propositions of modern science rest are, for the most part, little photographic spots and blurs, or inky curved lines on paper. ...What is directly observable is only a sign of the "physical fact"; it requires interpretation to yield scientific propositions.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
A long time ago when I was still a Mullah, I lived in a small town, just big enough for a real mosque, with a beautiful mosaic wall. I remember one evening, we had finished our prayers. The stars were clear and bright, and seemed to fill the sky with lights. I stood at the window, gazing at the lights so far away, each one bigger than our world and so distant from us across vast reaches of space.
I thought of how we walk this earth, filled with our own importance, when we are just specks of dust. If you walk to the cliffs outside the town, a walk of half an hour at most, you look back and you can see the town, but the people are too small to see, even at that meager distance.
When I think of the immensity of the universe, I am filled with awe and reverence at a power so great. I was thinking such thoughts, looking out the window of the mosque, and I realized I had fallen to my knees.
"I am nothing, nothing!" I cried, amazed and awestruck.
There was a certain well-to-do man of the town, the kind of man who wished to be thought very devout. He cared more for what people thought of him than for what he actually was. He happened to walk in and he saw and heard what passed. I was a little shy at being caught in such a moment, but he rushed down, looking around in the obvious hope someone was there to see him. He knelt beside me and cried:
"I am nothing! I am nothing!"
At the same time, the man who sweeps the floor, a poor man from the edge of the village, entered the side door with his broom to begin his night's work. He had seen us, and being a man of true faith and honest simplicity, his face showed that he entertained some of the same thoughts that had been laid on me by the hand of Allah (wonderful is He). He dropped his broom and fell to his knees and said softly:
"I am nothing…I am nothing!"
The well-to-do man nudged me with his elbow and said out of the side of his mouth:
"Look who thinks he's nothing!"
Ya Haqq!

ProtectionGear necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 102 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
If you can design a hip, tough, easily identifiable logo for our Sports Protective Gear website we'd like to hear from you.
Primo Athletic Armor
We like our current logo, but we are changing our name to include the word Primo and changing the spelling of Armour to Armor.
So the brand name we'll be Primo and Athletic Armor will the descriptive.
To see our current logo go to http://www.AthleticArmour.com
Our target audience is action sports athletes (think X-Games, Snowboarders, Skateboarders, Motocross) and team sports athletes (Baseball, Football, Soccer, Lacrosse, Basketball).
Average age is 13-25 and mostly male.
- A strong tough, active, hip logo with a cool figure and sweet font for the word Primo.
- Emphasis should be on the word Primo and Athletic Armor should be secondary.
- We like our current "X-Man" in our logo because he looks like an athlete being protected. We are open to new fresh ideas though.
- We want Primo to look cool by itself if we were ever to use it as a stand alone without the words Athletic Armor on sticker
- We want the Icon that you create to go with it to be strong enough and recognizeable on it's own as well. Something that could work as a sticker.
- We really like the metallic look of our current X-Man so keeping that feel will help.
- We like our current colors. You can deviate a little bit, but it's going to be tough to convince us to do something other than black, red, silver, gray, metallic.
- Ideally something that looks good on our current site to save us from redesigning things.
- Nothing outside the colors we've suggested
- Anything too plain or something you'd see your PE Coach from high school wearing on his coaching shirt - we want something hipper and tougher than that.

One of the side-projects I've been meaning to work on for a while is a summarised history of TDZK. I'm finally getting this under way, and intend to expand this to cover most of the 2.x series.
History of TDZK: 2.0 (You are Here)
History of TDZK: 2.1
History of TDZK: 2.2
History of TDZK: 2.3
History of TDZK: 2.4
History of TDZK: 2.5
History of TDZK: 2.6
History of TDZK: 2.7
History of TDZK: 2.8
As you might expect, this is from my memory only. While I have tried to present a neutral and balanced portrayal as possible, I'm sure people will disagree with my assessments in ... well, many places!
Gameplay Changes: Arguably the biggest set of game changes seen. New Quelaar race, removal of interest, increase in planetary build options, introduction of initiative, auras, treaty points and planetary income, relaunch of EMP and the debut of piracy, expansion to 36-system map with addition of 10 new southern systems hooked off Elanna and Zane. Planets were removed from central systems including Nexus, Manchari and Taelon, while stations became part of ports and looting was introduced.
Political Backdrop: Two powerhouses of the previous round, IG/ID and KAOS didn't start the round, and the members were split between three new alliances - the predominantly former KAOS hunters in Maelstrom, the former ID/IG who founded Imperials, and Praetorian Guard who took the cream of ID along with the KAOS raid teams. Lords of Fear started the round with five wings, HOLY, Phoenix and xWW were also major presences from 1.0, and many others started afresh in the new round. The major 'new' force was "all that and a bag of chips" Telos D, who formed out of IGF-FL. Other new alliances also debuted or shot to prominance in the new round after the interest bankroll handicap was removed.
Opening Moves: The round started with the typical squabbling for position. Most of the northern galaxies were more peaceful as the race opened up for the new southern galaxies, but there was the start of a battle between Imperials and Maelstrom over the Imrasael (22) system. Some of the other divided galaxies included Elanna (21) and Cryos (25), both of which would be more noted battlegrounds later in the round. But the first battleground was set to be in Sarenn (36) and the opponents were the newly formed Telos D and the Wheeled Warriors.
Telos D vs xWW: The self-confident Telos were quickly embroiled in a war with their Wheeled Warriors neighbours. This was a surprisingly short and one-sided war, considering both contributors were expected to be significant players in the round. However, Telos had not yet the full organisation and despite early success, their raid on the final xWW planet failed. The Wheelies retaliated and Telos became wracked with disorganisation and low morale. Players began to leave and the Wheelies rode triumphantly over the remnant of Telos. Shinsen Gumi was founded and many of the former Telos members ended with this as their home.
Babypolitik: The all-round event was the steady growth of Lords of Fear at the expense of smaller alliances. The six winged-behemoth alleviated smaller alliances of the burden of their planets throughout the southern galaxies. Typically these alliances would be fighting other small alliances, and LoF would reap the benefits and take planets from all. With the significant planet income contributions this helped to cement a strong strategic position.
Middle Game: The new, high levelled ports and the paucity of money meant that not many alliances were raiding ports with any regularity. The only alliance to put together a team of significant level and strength was Praetorian Guard. They were the first to take down a level 40+ port, Pacific station in the Pleiora Nebula (18). They would later be the first and only alliance to pop a level 50 port, adding a level 47 port to their conquests as they raided in Cryos (25).
Unintended Consequences - War Starts in the North: The three planets in Cryos were owned by three new or barely-known alliances - Silver Horde, Assassin's Lair and Galactic Corsairs. Nearby neighbours were the unaggressive Phoenix in Chronos (13) as the action developed in the south. GC and SH formed ties and used the Cryptos (26) nebula as a training ground. To 'tidy up' the system, aiming to better secure it from outsiders, they attacked the third planet, whose owner had since moved to HOLY. The planet was taken despite an inexperienced raid team and an accidental warning of an hour.
HOLY and Phoenix declared war, and the most costly typo in TDZK happened as SIMEK built 90 drone hangars instead of 9. This rocketed SIMEK to level 76 (and in turn prompted the immediate removal of planet building experience above level 50) and spent most of GC/SH's war chest. The early war was dominated by the newcomers, raiding and hunting in Phoenix territory with little opposition. An attempt on the main Phoenix planet failed late on due to a squad error. The first retaliation blow was struck as LoF - allies of both HOLY and Phoenix - raided GC planet Concorde Dawn. A spirited restocking effort couldn't ward off the raid teams but the planet held for a significant time before it fell, and with it almost all of the GC fleet. GC and SH went into rebuilding mode while Phoenix and HOLY failed to follow home their advantage. The war lay dormant.
David vs Goliath - Shadow Knights: One of the unexpected surprises in LoF's battle against smaller alliances was the resistance of one new alliance in Elanna, the newly formed Shadow Knights. Their tougher planet had remained untaken in the initial LoF run which had yielded the three DEA planets and one IR planet in the system. Repeated success by previously unknown SK hunters including ToMa, Ciralin and particularly Malhavoc led to success against LoF, and prompted an LoF attack on the planet. A furious restocking exercise and many poached kills over the planet were in vain as the planet eventually fell, but this would be an interesting benchmark for the next round.
The Reunification: KAOS Returns: Towards the latter half of the round both Praetorian Guard and Maelstrom dropped tags and merged together to reform KAOS once more. There was a lot of reaction after the 'cynical' nature of the split and reformation. The reformed alliance's attention turned first to the battleground in Imrasael, and their raid teams took down Imperials' planets to add them to the KAOS fold. Other targets were soon added to the list.
Dormant War to Live War: As GC and SH rebuilt their fleets and formed their plans, Phoenix and HOLY also began to ready themselves to take the last two planets. By coincidence both set their decisive raids for the same day. GC and SH would go first by a matter of hours. A redesigned raid team using new features of initiative and auras would take a succession of planets without the need for multiple suiciders. This attempt died in the first shot as an (unnecessary) visibility aura was set incorrectly. The planet fired third, three of the prototype raiders died and while the planet fell with multiple pods, the to-be-decisive chain of raids had gone.
The HOLY/Phoenix retaliation ran into difficulties. A long battle over the SH planets was met with firm resistance as dedicated restockers settled in for the night. The HOLY and Phoenix raid teams handed over to LoF, who in turn handed over to KAOS (who had already claimed the new GC planet taken earlier in the day). The restockers held firm as accusations flew. After a pause, the HOLY and Phoenix teams tried again the next day and were immediately successful. The following day a further restocking effort couldn't prevent the final planet from falling. The war was over and the established powers were victorious, but this was the beginning of the changing of the guard.
Individual Achievements: In a round short of significant individual achievements, the most notable one was roemern's piracy tally. Piracy was introduced with 2.0 and took place from a board button on the attack screen (long before the days of Attack & Board option). Roemern's interceptor set a tally that would stand for many rounds. Thirteen players managed to reach Admin World after a long quest-chain requiring bringing odd combinations of goods and ships to different sectors to complete individual sections.
Tactical Notes: While obvious in hindsight, many of the new tactical options were barely touched on. Auras were rarely used and not fully understood, and the advantages of levels not fully realised. With money in short supply after interest removal, trading was required for longer and average levels rose. Planet income filled the void, and those who had many planets could afford to field bigger and better ships.
The easiest and most efficient way to level was through planet-building, but this wasn't really known until SIMEK's mishap - although PG did level their raiders this way. Looting at a station resulted in you being docked at it after the refresh, allowing an effective alignment-bypass. This was used first by PG to get their raiders cloaks for initiative-raiding of the higher level ports, but became widely used later in the round. Initiative changed planet raiding by introducing the 'suicider' concept, the cheap ship with initiative and fusion torpedoes to fire first and clear the planet's drones.
In warbird design, designs mostly followed standard 1.0 patterns. Initiative led to the introduction of main engines into the standard design. The newest innovation was Zaekoem's wraith EMP ranger using the new Energy to Shield converter and power drain mechanics. With power overflow this provided a cheap and effective shield buffer.
Round Summary: The last hurrah of the 'amateur' approach of 1.0 and the final round of the old traditional powers. It would not be until 2.1 that all the changes would be fully taken advantage of, and by a much wider range of alliances.

Only two offer free state filing, but the blog, Flife, pointed out that you could always use your chosen service to prepare your state return—using it as a sort of worksheet—and then switch to one of the totally free services to do the actual filing. But be careful: a reader just wrote in to say free-tax-return.com completely deleted his state filing when he declined to pay the $13.50 fee.

These days there are very few times where you can really say that there is something "new" in horology. Whenever there is a new complication or method to display time somebody somewhere has done it before. Either directly mimicking an old invention or simply contributing to an evolution/modification of an existing complication. The reason is simple, being that watch makers are contaminated by the past. It is not only human to look to the past for inspiration but it is also a way to honor the work of countless geniuses behind it. So it is only predictable that when one first becomes seduced by horology and then goes throughout the learning process the past weighs heavily. Knowing that, understand my surprise when at last years Basel fair I came across Ressence. I recon I have made the mistake before in jumping to the haste conclusion that something unusual was indeed something new. As a result, and to cover my back, I researched (within my possibilities) as to how original this idea really was. Guess what... It actually is "really" something new! Now, the mystery remained as to how somebody that I assumed (my mistake) had gone through the classical route of horology came came up with something new and different. My first assumption was flawed since Benoît Mintiens actually did not go through the classic horological route. Instead, Benoît not being "contaminated" had the benefit in this case to open a whole new way to tell time. To display all indications on the same plane while maintaining legibility throughout. Bravo!
Needles to say I was taken by Benoît's "Zero Series" form the start. The flat-face rotating disks, front and back, together with the two enveloping sapphire glass worked an ergonomic wonder. The fixed crown and modular/configurable watch case for left handed owners was only confirmation that it was a very well throughout product. The delay/wait was a long one (although expected…) but certainly worth while. For all those fortunate enough to have one of the original "Zero Series" and have not got it yet, here is a little something for the road...
NOTE: I am having difficulty generating an acceptable video/audio file with the tools at my disposal here. Although the material is properly filmed the computer I am currently working with has little "punch" and therefore has difficulty in creating smooth video and sound. I will wait to upgrade the internal memory in the next few days before posting the video... if that doesn't do the trick I will try to find a computer with enough power to properly render the video and audio. Sorry.
NOTE 2: I have solved technical issues regarding the quality of the video. However, it seems that "YouTube" has been adding commercials on my footage and I simply will NOT stand for that. I will keep trying to find a solution to go around that, in the mean time I am debating if I should cancel my YouTube account...
Metaphysically, the first impression is that of holding the beginning of an adventure. The first chapter of a book that only 50 people around the world will be fortunate enough to own. Being part of the very first watch in the birth of a new brand can only be described as something special. Physically, the front and back sapphire glass that practically wraps around the whole watch gives an incredibly smooth tactile feeling. The first contact is so smooth that you get the feeling of a massage when you slide your fingers across the front and back sapphire glasses. Seriously, you just don't want to let go! That brings me tho the first obvious benefit and I can't help but like the fact that the watch will have very little sign of wear over a long period of time. Due to this case construction there are no exposed metal parts other than the crown or the edges of the strap fasteners that are prone to scratches. Especially those micro-scratches that inevitably appear over a period on metal bezels simply with the use/friction under a shirtsleeve. The full-plate rotor and the six screws on the back complete the design in a stunning manner. Right of the bat I can say that I am not too happy with the strap/ deployment buckle combo. I am not particularly fond of "straight" straps with no or little difference between the width at the watch case and width at the buckle. This more modern way to size straps simply falls short of class… or rather what I mean to say is that while it might look great on a Panerai Luminor I am not to keen in seeing that on more classic watches. The second part I am not to impressed by is the deployment buckle. It is a standard yet banal deployment buckle well beneath this wonderful watch. I don't know about you but this watch SCREAMS for a classic ardillon buckle that can be reversed at any time (I will reason this petition later…) However, all this is something that can easily be fixed.
Day 1: I am holding it in my hand more than on my wrist. The winding of the crown is hard even if the grip is quite acceptable. Since it is an automatic watch the issue is not that problematic should the power reserve be we longer than an overnights rest. The strap and buckle... well, let's see how the feel in a couple of days.
Day 2: Can't stop looking at it and playing with the crown to set the time over and over again. Really cool watch. At night the readout is much better than anticipated even if contrary to classic watches the Super LumiNova is applied everywhere except on the hour indices and five-minute intervals. Hmmm, interesting...
Day 3: The watch turns out to be a real conversation starter. Thank good for the iPhone App that shows how it works since setting the time over and over again to demonstrate is really getting tiresome.
Day 4: I love the back! To bad that the lugs are not immediately reversible, I would be cool to be able to wear this the other way around. Hence the need for an ardillon buckle that would permit such an action...
Day 5: Did I mention that the watch box is really something out of the ordinary? Well, I still wonder how they managed no do this thing. There is a tool supplied for the strap change... will be playing with that tomorrow.
Day 6: I just could not help myself. The strap and deployment buckle needed to go. Did not have many options on hand where I am right now but the result makes a world of difference. With a more classic strap approach there is more focus on the watch than on the strap. That works much better for me. Can't wait for an ardillon by Ressence to harmonize the whole ensemble.
Day 7: Regarding the strap changing I must confess I was not too happy with this method at first. It takes time and very good eyesight to change the strap. However, after completing my first strap change I can only see benefits to this system. You will need patience since it take longer than a standard "strap pin" but the the benefit is that unlike the classic method you are less likely to scratch or damage the watch case. As many of you know, even a skilled watchmaker will scratch the inside of a watch case when changing a strap. It is inevitable. This approach might be more laborious but it not only reduces the risk of damage considerably but also allows for a modification of the angle of the lugs for more comfort if required. There is one thing that I do recommend to Ressence... adding one set (at least) of spare gaskets and pins would be very welcomed. Even if I have managed not too loose any of these they are very small and in risk of getting blown of the table to not bee seen again, ever.
Day 8: The "twilight" effect of "tunnel-drive-through" effect looks like a party. Love it.
Day 9: Wearing the Zero Series is a real treat. Very comfortable although downward angled strap lugs (like the Panerai Radiomir) could and would make it even more comfortable.
Day 10: Sill conformable and pleasant to wear and visibility is quite good in all lighting conditions despite not having anti-glare treatment on the glass

PIA helps agents recruit young professionals into insurance
Four-state association provides members with assistance via the PIA Recruitment Tool Kit
GLENMONT, N.Y. ?The Professional Insurance Agents of Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York State offer access to the PIA Recruitment Tool Kit, a new member-exclusive resource to help agents educate their local communities about the benefits of a career in insurance.
?Our members have told us they are concerned about the aging of their industry," said Diane Fowler, executive director of PIACT, PIANH, PIANJ and PIANY. ?We have developed this tool to help them share their expertise with students and potential job candidates, and to identify and make the most of opportunities to reach out to their communities.?
Developed through a joint task force with the Young Insurance Professionals, the PIA Recruitment Tool Kit is intended to foster an interest among the younger generation in a career in the insurance industry. It gives agents specific tools intended to help them explain the benefits of a career in insurance in straightforward, easy-to-understand language. ?Whether in front of a high school classroom, at a job fair or speaking to a local community group, the kit gives members the resources they need for an effective presentation,? said Fowler.
The kit includes: a PowerPoint presentation; a suggested script; brochures; and consumer fliers agents can use in community presentations that also serve as a valuable public relations activity for their own agencies.
For PIA-member access to the PIA Recruitment Tool Kit, visit www.pia.org/COMM/sam/recruitment.php, or contact PIA?s Communication Department at
(800) 424-4244.
PIANY, PIANJ, PIACT and PIANH is a partnership of four state trade associations representing independent insurance agencies, brokerages and their employees throughout their respective states.


text: A New Year has always been the perfect time of year to re-commit to losing excess weight, getting into better shape, getting that blood pressure down, stop smoking, clean up your diet or start taking some supplements. These are all worthwhile, achievable goals. But, suddenly, protecting your health has taken on a new urgency and importance. Suddenly, even with the best health insurance in the world, taking your health for granted, or taking avoidable risks with your health is a very risky proposition.

Does anyone know if in a pokemon game does the wild pokemon have the same stats when you catch it as it did in that battle?
and to make this a more programming question ... In that type of game should the "wild" enemies have the same limits imposed on them as if they were player controlled or should the enemies be stronger that if you caught them.
This question assumes that the creature is the same level in both cases.

Raking the Ashes: Genealogical Strategies for Pre-1906 San Francisco Research
California Genealogical Society
This book by Nancy Simons Peterson addresses the numerous difficulties encountered by researchers seeking early San Francisco city and county records. The three days of raging fire following the 1906 earthquake gutted San Francisco's City Hall, its Hall of records, Hall of Justice and countless churches. With only a few civil death records surviving, a fraction of the original land records saved, and no civil court records extant, the researcher necessarily must turn to other resources in order to construct relationships that in normal circumstances might be routine. It many ways it was one of those "burned courthouse" tragedies, but the losses in San Francisco went far beyond that. Peterson, a meticulous researcher with broad experience and creative problem-solving abilities, presents detailed descriptions of exactly what was lost, what survived, and shows the reader how to find the surviving records. Further, she offers strategies for circumventing difficulties due to lost records.
To be published April 2006 by California Genealogical Society, 1611 Telegraph Avenue, Suite 100, Oakland, CA 94612.
Available April 2006.

FAQ and help
JPG basics
How do I edit, submit or delete a photo after uploading?
Just click the blue "Edit" link above the photo (you'll only see this link when you're logged in). Once you make your changes, don't forget to click "Save"!
Why can't I submit more than one photo to a theme?
Out of fairness, we have a strict "one photo per theme" rule, so just select your best photo for a particular theme. It's fine to switch out your submission with a different photo as long as the theme is still open, but keep in mind that you'll lose any votes gained (but you'll still keep all the comments, favorites, and props).
What is "hotness"?
When a photo is submitted to a photo challenge or theme, the photos that the community likes best become "Hot." Hotness is determined automatically by factors including number of votes, comments, views, and favorites. A photo's hotness is not permanent, but can change based on how the community is responding to other photos in the theme, and we recalculate hotness daily. That's why even if nothing changes on your individual photo, its hotness could change based on the popularity of other photos within the theme.
On the JPG homepage and the first page of any particular theme, we also show a selection of the hot photos in order to highlight the best photos from the site. The photos that display on these pages are pulled at random from the hot photos that we have selected to display. Hot photos also have a banner that links to more hot photos within the theme, along with tools that make it easier for other people to promote your photo on sites like Digg, Facebook, and StumbleUpon.
What are "props"?
A "prop" is like a compliment, or kudos — it just means that you like the photo. A prop is a way of leaving a comment and also saying that you enjoyed their photo. The photographer can then see how many props their photo has received.
What if I see something that seems totally inappropriate?
If you feel there is a photo or story that does not meet our guidelines, you can always report it by clicking the "Report a problem" link on the photo or story page in question. Our editors review all reports, but are unable to reply to them, so if you'd like a response, please contact JPG support directly.
What JPG's copyright policy?
Our copyright policy can be found here: http://jpgmag.com/about/copyright.
How do you protect my photos from theft?
When you submit a photograph to jpgmag.com we hold the original, high-resolution image privately. This is the version that we will use if your photograph is selected for publication. We display a much lower resolution version on jpgmag.com. Although it's possible for users to save these versions, we find that the reduced resolution is discouraging to most would-be photo thieves. Keeping the high resolution versions of your photographs off the website is the most effective way of preventing theft. And of course, our photographers always retain the rights to their work. Our copyright policy can be found here: http://jpgmag.com/about/copyright.
I found some awesome photos on JPG and want to use them for a personal project. Can I do that?
Photographers that contribute to JPG retain the copyright of the photographs; therefore, you will need to obtain permission from each individual photographer. JPG is unable to grant permission, and use without permission would be a copyright violation. Please contact the photographer(s) directly to explain your project and obtain permission.
Do I need model releases?
Generally speaking, you will not need a model release for photos submitted to JPG for editorial use. But there are important exceptions to respect people's privacy rights, so if you have any doubts, get a model release or consult a lawyer.
Can I change my username?
Sorry, but your username is the one thing you cannot change. You can change your display name at any time, but your URL is a permanent link to your photo page. Anyone who wants to bookmark your photos will use this link — so these are unique and permanent for each user.
Can I be removed from JPG's mailing list?
Yes! Just set your email preferences to "no email." When logged in, you can find your email preferences page here: http://jpgmag.com/account/preferences There's also an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every newsletter we send.
How do I delete my JPG account?
Just click on the "Edit profile" link on your profile page, and follow the instructions under "Delete account." But we'll be sad to see you go!
JPG Shoot Out Contests
How do I enter?
You can enter any contest that is labeled "Open for Entries" if you have the required amount of "credits".
What are credits?
Credits are basically a way to reduce the amount of trips to PayPal.
How long are contests open?
Contests are open for entries and voting for an undetermined amount of time. Meaning, we'll decide how long contests are open for entries and voting based on the velocity of submissions, pot levels and votes.
How will I know when a contest is open for voting or winners have been chosen?
The contest page will be updated and we will also contact all entrants via email to let them know when the status of a contest changes.
How are winners chosen?
It's a secret. But, we will say this: Driving as much traffic to your entries for voting as possible will increase your odds of ranking highly.
What do I win?
Placement pots vary based on the number of submissions, cost of entry and number of winners. The pot totals are listed on the contest page by placement.
What if I delete my photo?
Your photo will be removed from the contest and the fee will not be reimbursed.
Can I enter someone else's photo(s) into a contest?
Yes. We have made it possible for you to see a great image and, if you believe it is the one that will win a given contest, you can purchase and use your contest credits to enter the image for the photographer that captured the image and uploaded it. This means that you could potentially enter any image in our well over 2 million images on the site to any contest. This gives users that have great eyes for choosing amazing images an opportunity to, essentially, test out their 'photo editor' skills and helps get images that may not otherwise be entered in contests a shot at great prizes and recognition.
Do I get anything for entering someone else's photo in a contest?
Yes. While it is only fair that the JPG member that submitted the image wins the prize and recognition, we believe you should get something for it as well. Since you had the eye to pick the winning image and the money to enter it, you'll receive: i) a portion of the cash prize; and ii) a special mention on the image's page that you entered it in the contest (stating that the image was entered in a contest courtesy of "you")! Your share of the prize money will be 15% of the prize awarded.
What if I don't want others to be able to submit my image(s) to contests?
Well... why wouldn't you? The opportunity to win a great cash prize without paying the entry fee should be a great reason to let your images be submitted to contests by others. But... if you're absolutely against the idea, you can, of course, opt-out of the option for other users to enter your images in contests. Simply check out your Account Settings page and choose to opt-out.
Why don't I see the Enter Shoot Out button on some photos?
The owner of the photos has opted to not allow other users to submit their photos to JPG Shoot Out photo contests.
Uploading photos
Why can't I upload more than 10 photos a day?
While we only want your very best, we do remove limitations for those who have supported JPG by becoming a JPG+ member.
Why do photos have to be 2200 pixels wide or tall?
The minimum sze is 1000 pixels wide or tall, 2200 pixels is required for publication consideration. To make sure your photos look good in print (not fuzzy or pixelated), we require your photos to be at least 2200 pixels wide or tall and no larger than 10 megabites. When it comes to megapixels, more is better!
Can I upload scans from film?
Of course! We love film. You just need to make sure that you scan your film scanned at a high resolution (they need to be at least 2200 pixels wide or tall).
Why do I have trouble uploading certain photos?
Sometimes your connection can time out with larger file sizes, so be sure to double-check that your photo is no larger than 10 megabytes. If the file is less than 10 megabytes and you're still having trouble, please contact JPG support.
Email/Mobile Uploading
How do I enable mobile photo uploads?
You can set up and modify your mobile upload settings from your email preferences.
How do I tag my photos?
Add tags to either the subject or body of the message like: [tags: horse, barn, john deer, tennessee]
How do I add my photo to the "Safe Filter"
filter your photo by adding: NSFW or nsfw to either the subject or body of the email message.
How many photos can I send in a day?
I don't know.. Let's see!
I sent a photo from my phone and I don't see it online.
It could be any one of the following: 1) It takes a few minutes to send a photo via mobile. 2) Photos must be at least 800px wide/tall 3) Photos must not be larger than 10 Megabytes. 4) Check your preferences and that you are allowed to send photos from the address you sent it from. 5) Only send 1 photo per email. 6) Make sure you are sending to the correct address displayed in your account preferences. If you're still having trouble, please contact JPG support.
What is Spotlight?
Spotlight is a new service we're offering whereby members can purchase premium placement of their — or other members' — photos. Photos that you elect to Spotlight will appear in various promotional spaces throughout jpgmag.com, and will appear 500 times. Each spotlight costs $1.00 (USD).
Why has JPG introduced Spotlight?
Many of you have asked us for ways you can enhance the visibility of your photos on the site. With thousands of uploads daily, it's easy to become lost in the shuffle. Spotlight allows photographers the opportunity to draw more attention to their favorite photos.
Doesn't Spotlight create an unfair advantage?
No! In fact, we think it helps equalize visibility across the community. Here's why: Casual JPG members with a small portfolio and few contacts tend to garner less attention, even if their photos are awesome. Spotlight provides an additional avenue for members to get work seen — one where popularity has no advantage. It's not that we don't want some folks to be popular; on the contrary, we want everyone to be popular!
How many times will a Spotlight be displayed?
Your Spotlight will be shown a minimum of 500 times — we call these "impressions." In reality, your Spotlight may run for more than 500 impressions, because we like to have a pool of different Spotlights to display, and we want each Spotlight in the pool to get a bit of attention before it leaves. We can't say exactly how many impressions your Spotlight will receive, but we guarantee it will be shown 500 times minimum.
Can I pay for multiple Spotlights in one PayPal transaction?
Yes! You can buy Spotlights in packages of 5, 10 or 25, which you can use at your leisure. Once you've purchased a Spotlight package, Your number of Spotlight "credits" (unused Spotlights) will be displayed on your profile. Credits do not expire, and can be used at any time.
Google Analytics Tracking
What is Analytics Tracking?
We've implemented Google's Analytics for tracking visitors to your content (photos, stories, profile, etc) on JPGMag.com. See who's viewing what, where they're coming from, keywords used to find your content and even how much time they spent enjoying it! Just about everything you'll ever want to know about visitors to your photos and stories can be realized with Google Analytics. Check out Google's Analytics home page for more information.
How do I setup Analytics?
Best place to start is Google's documentation. When setting up your "Website Profile" use the URL: jpgmag.com. Take note of the Tracking Code (eg: UA-xxxxxx-x) and type it into the designated field in your account settings. That's it! Your statistics should update at midnight and every 24 hours thereafter.
How do I turn Analaytics Tracking off?
You can remove your Tracking Code from your account settings and disable the Website Profile in Analaytics by following these instructions.
How can I increase traffic to my work?
Possibly the most desirable traffic (eg: views, favorites, votes and comments) you'll receive will come from within the JPG community. The more active you are, the more activity you'll drive towards your own work. Spotlight is also a tried and true method in increasing visibility and, consequently, interaction. Adding links to your photos and stories on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook will also help to drive traffic to your work.
3rd Party Services
What are "3rd Party Services"?
They are opt in/out services that make sharing your best work with your friends easier than ever before by automatically updating your social profiles for you.
I get a blank page when trying to enable Facebook Connect, what gives?
Clear your browser cookies and try again. It's an anomaly with Facebook's API and not something we can fix, but this method appears to resolve the issue.
I disabled my Twitter connection from Twitter's website, but it still shows up here. Why?
Unfortunately, Twitter does not provide a callback method when disconnecting from a service. Meaning: it doesn't tell us, when you want out. We will, however, automatically disconnect your connection the next time we try to send content to Twitter and receive an error indicating that you have cancelled the connection from their site.
JPG Plus (+)
What is JPG+?
JPG+ is JPG "plus" a bit of extra awesome.
What are the benefits of JPG+?
When you join JPG+, all third-party advertising is removed from jpgmag.com; we give you a package of Spotlight credits to promote your photos, plus the ability to view and link to your photos in Lightbox mode, and download your own high-resolution original photos.
That's not all, though. With no daily upload limits, you can upload (and 'save' at JPG) as many images as you want each day. You can upload up to 10 images at a time with sizes of up to 15MB each. You also get access to both the 'lite' and 'advanced' online photo editor for your images that you've uploaded, so you can easily modify them after upload.
Oh yeah, you also get a cool "+" badge to let everyone know you're awesome!
We plan to introduce more benefits over time, at no additional cost. Have an idea for a feature you'd like us to include in the deal?
Let us know!
How can I request a JPG+ feature?
We're glad you asked! Just give us a holler!
I upgraded to JPG+, but I'm not seeing any of my benefits. What gives?
Since the transactions are handled in the background, you may need to log out and then log in again.

Yes, your membership will renew automatically. However, you can easily change this preference in your profile if you'd rather it not automaticly renew. If you're logged in, go to http://jpgmag.com/account/plus and choose "Cancel automatic renewal."
Can I buy JPG+ for my friend?
Yep! It's as easy as clicking a link from their profile page. Just below their bio. Unlike a "self-purchased" subscription to JPG+, these are one-time transactions. Neither you nor the recipient will be billed at the end of the membership term.
Photo Links
What can I submit to the Photo links?
Anything phototography related. If you feel your item doesn't fit in any of the available categories, please feel free to recommend a new one.
How can I add a "share" link to my website?

Do you have a bookmarklet or an easier way to add links while browsing the internet?

JPG Market
Who can buy and sell in JPG market?
Any JPG member can respond to ads, only JPG+ members can post ads. Account upgrades start at $9.99.
What can I sell in the market?
Please only list items related to photography. All other items will be removed.
How do I edit my ad?

How many pictures can I display and how big should they be?

I want to buy something, how do I go about doing so?
You can contact the poster of the item directly via the contact (private message) link at the bottom of the ad to work out the details with them personally.

Nope. All agreements are between you and the seller. We offer no guarantees or warantees whatsoever. We facilitate the ability to sell, not the sale itself. How you decide to facilitate your buying or selling is up to you.
Off-site promotions
What is the "Off-site promotions" setting in my profile?
JPG may, from time to time, offer cross-promotional opportunities between JPG members and third-party sponsors or advertisers. Since JPG members own all rights to their respective works, the checkbox labeled "Don't include my work" is the default setting until you explicitly change it. If you would like to allow your photos to be used in promotions outside of JPG, you can uncheck this setting.
Why would/wouldn't I want my photos to be included in off-site promotions?
Allowing your photos to be included in off-site promotions may enhance your exposure by allowing your work to be seen by a broader audience outside the JPG community. On the other hand, you may not want your photos associated with third-party services.

Safe for Work filter
What is the "Safe for Work" filter?
Since JPG is a site which welcomes people of all ages and interests, it may from time to time be necessary to filter certain photos — from general view. For instance, they may depict themes not suitable for workplace or family viewing. When you enable the Safe for Work filter, photos that have been filtered will appear covered with a grey label in photos, themes, favorites and profile views. Clicking on the label will take you to the covered photo where you will be given the option to view the material. Additionally, when the Safe for Work filter is on, filtered photos will not be shown to you for voting or in Spotlight.
How do I enable the "Safe for Work" filter?
If you're logged in, go to http://jpgmag.com/account/settings and click the checkbox labeled "Enable Safe for Work filter"
How do I know if my photo is unsafe for workplace viewing?
Generally speaking, up and downstairs nudity is considered "Not Safe For Work". Use your best judgement and be considerate of the preferences of your fellow members.
How do I declare my photo to be unsafe for workplace viewing?
You can filter your photos for Safe for Work viewing in one of two ways — either during the process of uploading your photo, or by editing it afterward. When uploading or editing a photo, deselect the option labeled "Safe for Workplace viewing." Members who have their Safe for Work filters on won't see filtered photos without opting in to view them. NOTE: Filtered photos can still be submitted to themes, commented upon and voted on, just like any other photo.
How do I know which of my photos have already been filtered?
Go to your Account Settings and check the box next to "Enable Safe for Work filter". You will now be able to tell which of your photos have been filtered.
