King: No more Mr. Nice Guy on China
Rep. Peter King says it's time for the United States to get tough on China after NSA leaker Edward Snowden was allowed to leave Hong Kong.
"There's no easy answers as far as dealing with China or Hong Kong, certainly with China," King (R-N.Y.) said on CNN's "New Day" on Monday. "I think as far as tipping the balance, we have to take a much, I believe, tougher attitude with China. … We have to step back and say, 'Business cannot go on as usual.'"
King said even though Snowden left Hong Kong, he believes China was involved in the decision and he believes both of them blatantly ignored U.S. extradition requests the countries have honored in the past.
( PHOTOS: Pols, pundits react to Snowden on the run)
"I think that China and Hong Kong both blatantly went against the wishes of the United States," King said. "This was strictly a political decision, and I can't believe Hong Kong would have made it without China encouraging it or certainly acquiescing in it."
King said the task to put pressure on China falls to President Barack Obama.
"This is really up to the president to be more aggressive and to know how to play his cards better than I think he has up 'til now," King said. "Again, I hate to be in the middle of a crisis second guessing the president, but where is he? Where is the president? Why is he not speaking to the American people? Why is he not more forceful in dealing with foreign leaders?"
( Also on POLITICO: Pols mock Snowden 'oppression tour')
King also criticized the president's handling of the entire surveillance issue.
"From the start of this whole NSA matter, the president should have been out front. … The president has to explain to the American people why, if he believes we're back in pre-9/11, why we're using such advanced post-9/11 techniques and methods," King said. "He's been silent. He should be the leader, he should be out, not talking about it in Berlin, speaking to the American people, and the same is overdue to let the Chinese and Russians know how serious we are about this."

Scaling LifterLMS From A Simple Online Course
LifterLMS is incredibly flexible, customizable and scalable. It can be used for a simple one course website, and it can also be used as a course marketplace or multi instructor online school.
The plugin is lightweight enough to handle niche sites with low course enrollments, while also powering huge universities and employee training in Fortune 500 corporations. We've even worked with a site that has over 730,000 course enrollments.
Unlike hosted LMS software where you would pay increasing monthly fees for access and growth, LifterLMS does not charge you more per course. LifterLMS also does not charge you more per instructor or per student or based on your revenue.
Whether you are going big or keeping it small, LifterLMS scales to meet your needs for online courses, memberships, training portals, or remote schools.

What Others Are Saying About LifterLMS
"I've used a number of course creation and delivery platforms over the years. And they were all fine… right up to the day when they weren't. The trouble is, they all want you to package and manage your course the way THEY think you should do it. THEIR feature set. THEIR way to do it. Now I host all my courses on LifterLMS. TOTALLY different experience, because I'm free to do things MY way. I've never yet hit a wall where LifterLMS didn't enable me to do things the way I wanted. Love it! Great support and community too."
Nick Usborne, Teacher, Entrepreneur
"WP101.com serves more than 30,000 members, so it's no small challenge to migrate to a new membership plugin. We spent more than a year carefully evaluating dozens of LMS and membership plugins before we finally discovered LifterLMS (a membership plugin and LMS plugin combined into one). It was the only plugin that checked all the boxes for our needs for course creation and membership functionality. And the LifterLMS team also shares our passion for creating better online learning experiences. In particular, we deeply resonate with their goal of restoring the human touch to online learning—something that is absent from most online courses today."
Shawn Hesketh, Owner, WP101
"As a former School Teacher, professional User Experience Designer, and current online course creator – I can honestly attribute much of our success to LifterLMS and it's consideration for multiple learning modalities, the LMS UI/UX out of the box, and natural student Engagement opportunities. In less than 10 months we've gone from $0 to $300K in revenue with LifterLMS playing a huge part in that!! I'm looking forward to everything that comes next from the creators of LifterLMS!!"
Sarah Lorenzen, Teacher, Entrepreneur
"LifterLMS has been the best decision we have made towards the build out of our course library, online Learning Management System site, and community. The breadth and depth of what LifterLMS offers in a few WordPress plugins exceeds anything else we evaluated as it includes: easy course construction, integrated eCommerce, community capabilities, gamification and the support for delivery of 1-on-1 coaching collaboration services. Lifter also has pre-built integrations with other key WordPress technologies we wanted to use. LifterLMS has attracted a solid community and support network of leading experts to help guide anyone who wants to transform the world or their industry with online training. Chris and the Lifter team are real people, and they care."
Michael Wolf, CEO, emPowering NOW LLC (Golden XPR)
"I bought/installed LifterLMS yesterday then spent the day having a blast! Two years ago I started writing a book, which morphed into wanting to present the material online in a more interactive way. I started my website from scratch in January and installing the WordPress LMS plugin was a milestone moment! A milestone moment that turned out to be one joy right after the other! I'm always amazed when something is made easy! The LifterLMS product is amazing!! Power to the people! Really quite extraordinary to have something so helpful be able to be in the hands of regular folk."

Where do I buy add-ons or bundles for my LifterLMS eLearning Website?
You can explore the individual learning management system add-ons here or save BIG with a bundle
How do I troubleshoot issues with my LMS website?
First, make sure that you're running the latest version of LifterLMS. And if you've got any other LifterLMS plugins active on your site, make sure those are running the most current version as well.
The most common issues we see are either plugin conflicts, theme conflicts, or outdated servers. You can test if a plugin or theme is conflicting by manually deactivating other plugins until just LifterLMS is running on your site. If the issue persists from there, revert to the default Twenty Fifteen theme. If the issue is resolved after deactivating a specific plugin or your theme, you'll know that is the source of the conflict. If it is a hosting issue, contact your web host and make sure they're running the most current version of PHP.
Also be sure to check out the official LifterLMS Knowledge Base.
How do I ask a question about my online course website?
Users of the free LifterLMS should post their questions here in our WordPress.org support area. If you find you're not getting support in as timely a fashion as you wish, you might want to consider purchasing a product from LifterLMS so you can access the LifterLMS support team.
If you're already a LifterLMS customer, you can simply log into your account and contact the support team directly on the LifterLMS website. We can provide a deeper level of support in there and address your needs on a daily basis during the work week. Generally, except in times of increased support loads, we reply to all comments within 12 business hours.
LifterLMS is awesome! Can you set up my online course site for me?

Chibi, Crossdressing, Love Polygon, School
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
The protagonist is a guy who is among the stupidest of the stupidest in the school. In this school, your grades can, under the supervision of teachers, take a virtual form to do combat! However, if you leave an examination half way, you get zero marks. A bright and cute girl, Mizuki Himeji, was having a high fever during the examination. Despite her potential to be the second highest scorer in the level, she obtained zero marks for having left due to her illness and is thus allocated to the worst class, class F. Grades mean almost everything. For Class A, they have a smart-looking teacher, a plasma TV as big as the entire wall as their blackboard, personal laptops, personal air-cons, refrigerators, adjustable seats and all kinds of different appliances. Within the refrigerator, there are all kinds of drinks and snacks. Their ceiling is made of glass, the wall lets them put up high-class drawings and plants. As for Class F, the worst class...They have Japanese desks and seat paddings. Their blackboard is dirty and there is no chalk even! Someone complains that the leggings of his desk is broken, so the teacher asks "Didn't we distribute some glue to stick wood together? Glue it back yourself later." Another complains that wind is blowing in from the broken window. The teacher says "I got it. I will apply for plastic bags and invisible glue to fix it later." There are spider webs everywhere, not a patch of the wall is clean. A unique moldy smell spreads across the entire room, it must be from the old tatamis used to tile the floor. This is the status of class F. The protagonist feels displeased at such an arrangement, and seeks help from his friends to try to make a change through summoning war!! And they devise all kinds of plans to try to beat the famous class A, intending to get class A's classroom and equipment if they win!! (Source: Baka-Tsuki)

Don't Be Fooled by Strong January Sales at Kohl's
On Thursday, Kohl's reported unexpectedly strong comparable-store sales growth for January. Comparable-store sales increased 13.3%, while total sales increased by 34.1% for the month due to the inclusion of an additional week in the company's fiscal year. Analysts had expected a comparable-store sales increase of just 3.1%.
However, investors should not get too excited about this accomplishment. January is one of the lightest-volume months of the year for department stores. Moreover, Kohl's achieved strong sales growth last month because of its underperformance during the holiday season. This left lots of clearance merchandise in the stores. However, clearance merchandise is sold at very low gross margin (and sometimes at a loss), which will put pressure on Kohl's profitability this quarter.
A good January is a small consolation
January tends to be the weakest sales month for retailers as consumers "recover" from the holiday season. By contrast, November and December are the strongest months of the year. As a result, it is virtually impossible to make up for a weak holiday season with strong January sales. Kohl's averaged sales of $226 million per week during the five-week January period, compared to sales of $579 million per week for the nine-week November-December period. Thus, even a large percentage increase in January sales has relatively little impact on total quarterly revenue.
In this case, Kohl's performed very poorly during the critical holiday season, with comparable sales up just 0.1% in the combined November-December period. Even after the 13.3% increase in January comparable-store sales, total fourth-quarter comparable-store sales grew by just 1.9%. This was well below the company's initial guidance (issued in the third quarter earnings release) for a comparable-store sales increase of 3% to 4% in the fourth quarter.
Some of the underperformance can be attributed to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, which hit the East Coast around the beginning of "fiscal November" (Oct. 28, 2012). However, other chains, such as Macy's , performed much better despite having at least as much exposure to the Northeast.
Late sales, low margins
Moreover, Kohl's needed to discount heavily in December and January in order to get merchandise moving. When the company announced December sales results in early January, Kohl's CEO Kevin Mansell commented:
December sales were lower than planned. Additionally, sales came late in the holiday shopping season and, as a result, were at deeper discounts than planned. We are taking the necessary markdowns in the fourth quarter to manage our inventory as we transition into the Spring season.
Accordingly, Kohl's reduced its fourth-quarter EPS guidance to a range of $1.60 to $1.62 at that time, compared to a prior range of $2.00 to $2.08. Given that November and December sales were so weak, it is good that the company was able to clear its inventory in January. However, the earnings benefit of higher January sales was probably minimal, because clearance merchandise is sold at such a low gross margin.
By contrast, Macy's also achieved double-digit comparable-store sales growth in January, but did so through better supply of "fresh fashion goods" that were added to the assortment after the Christmas rush. While Macy's also saw weakness in the November-December period, it still managed to post comparable-store sales growth of 2.5% in that period. Macy's somewhat better sales performance in November and December, and its lower reliance on clearance merchandise in January, allowed it to reaffirm its original fourth-quarter EPS guidance of $1.94 to $1.99.
A worrisome trend
The poor performance at Kohl's in November and December was not the company's first misstep of the year. Kohl's also made bad decisions in planning its spring and summer assortments, and ended up with insufficient inventory of items that proved to be popular. Low inventory led to a 2.7% decrease in comparable-store sales for the second quarter. Due to the disappointing second-quarter sales drop and the slow holiday season, Kohl's will post fiscal-year 2012 EPS well below its initial guidance of $4.75. Last month, the company updated its EPS guidance to a range of $4.11 to $4.13.
Missing the original earnings guidance by more than 10% would be a poor result under any circumstances. However, it is particularly disappointing because Kohl's missed a golden opportunity to take advantage of last year's turmoil at J.C. Penney . J.C. Penney's transition away from a promotional model alienated many of its former customers and resulted in a 23% sales decline in the first nine months of fiscal-year 2012. Other competitors such as Macy's and Dillard's were able to take advantage of J.C. Penney's struggles to grow their market share. Kohl's, which caters to the same middle-class customers as J.C. Penney, should have been able to do the same. With J.C. Penney planning to bring back sales this year, the competitive environment will only get tougher for Kohl's going forward.
Foolish bottom line
The brief pop in Kohl's comparable-store sales last month pales in comparison to the company's poor performance in the rest of 2012. With one of its major competitors (J.C. Penney) struggling, Kohl's ought to have gained market share and posted strong sales growth for the year. Investors should be wary of investing in Kohl's until the company can show that it has returned to consistent sales and profit growth.

BGR is reporting that the Verizon HTC Droid Incredible is going to receive a software update to Android 2.2 Froyo by the end of July or early August. Originally, there was going to be a minor update that would've brought 720p video recording to the Incredible but it looks like that update will be rolled in with the bigger, much more tantalizing Android 2.2 software update.
The Android 2.2 Froyo update to the Droid Incredible is said to bring:
• Froyo
• 802.11 n
• 3G Mobile Hot Spot
• HTC Widget: Email
• HTC Widget: News
• EAS Updates
• 720p Video Recording
• Amazon MP3
• Skype
• My Verizon
With the update, the Droid Incredible could make a strong play at the title of best Android phone available (if it wasn't already). However, It does seem sort of soon to have Android 2.2 ported and ready for a HTC Sense device so we'll have to wait and see if this is really true. [BGR]

A few medieval and early modern manuscripts are owned by Gonzaga University. In addition are many valuable facsimiles of manuscripts.
Portions of medieval manuscripts are found as "pastedowns" in Gonzaga's oldest printed books, incunabula. The practice of fifteenth-century printers was to recycle leaves from manuscripts as facings for the inside of the covers of printed books. Perhaps the oldest of these "pasted down" manuscript leaves at Gonzaga is a leaf from a martyrology dated to 1290. It is the back pastedown in the 1490 edition of the Summa Theologica of Antoninus.
Antiphonary leaves from the thirteenth or fourteenth century are found as pastedowns in the Bruno Psalter of 1475.
Two complete seventeenth century manuscripts on Aristotle are part of The Gonzaga Collection. Notably, each is on a "template book," a printed blank book prepared by stationers for students to use for taking notes for a course or for scholars to use when preparing a manuscript for publication. Gonzaga owns one of each type, and each template book is rather elegant, with marbled endpapers and an engraved frontispiece or title page. Thus these volumes have additional interest as attesting a little studied aspect of the history of the book.
From 1670 is the reportatio of the student John Middleton. A reportatio is a transcription of a series of lectures. Middleton wrote this autograph manuscript in a ready-made volume: a bound, prepared block of pages with marbled end pages and edges, engraved frontispiece and ornamented form for the titlepage and with ruling lines on the block of pages. This template book includes a frontispiece: a bust portrait of Aristotle in an oval frame inscribed: PHILOSOPHUS ARISTOTELES HOMO GRÆCUS. The French caption is biographical: "Aristote prince des Peripateticiens et j.er de tous les Philosophes eut pour pere Nicomacus medicin. Il fut precepteur d'alexandre le grand qui luj porta une si grande affection, qu'a sa seule consideration il retablit sa patrie, qu'il avoit ruinée. Enfin il mourit aagé de soixante et huict ans, la mesme année que mourut Demostene apres avoir escrit plus de trois cent tomes. [signed:] B.M. avec p." The book concludes with a usual colophon: "Finis undecimo die Maii Anno Domini 1670 Joannes Middleton." The next page is headed "Index Disputorum ac Quæstionum Quæ In hoc Libro Continent[u]r," but Middleton did not compile an index.
Probably the Jesuit scholar Ioanne Baptiste de Fourmestraulx is the author of the 1693 commentary on Aristotle's physics entitled Liber summus phisicorum. Fourmestraulx wrote this autograph manuscript in a ready-made volume with ruling lines on the block of pages and with marbled endpapers. Although this volume lacks a frontispiece, it has an engraved illustrated border for the titlepage, consisting of ten bust portraits with names inscribed. In the top row are "Aristoteles, Thomas [Aquinas], Plato"; on the left side: "Seneca, Socrates"; on the right side: "Pythagoras, Epicurus"; and in the bottom row: "Erasmes, Porphyruis [!], Diogenes."

Using images found on the internet through Google's visually similar images feature, NASA, U.S. Geological Survey, and various mapping services, Kelli Anderson recreated part of the Eames' iconic Powers of Ten as a flipbook. Watch a video here:
Or play around with a virtual flipbook at Anderson's site. This could not possibly be anymore in my wheelhouse. Here's the nitty gritty on how she made it happen.
The inspiration for making discontinuous-bits-of-culture into something continuous goes back to 2011. Some of my friends camped out on a sidewalk to see Christian Marclay's The Clock. Like a loser with a deadline, I missed out-only catching it years later at MoMA. In the day-long film, Marclay recreates each minute of the 24-hour day using clips from films featuring the current time-on a clock or watch. It runs in perfect synchronization with the audience's day (so: while a museum crowd slumps sleepily in their chairs at 6am, starlets hit snooze on the clocks onscreen.)

Alas! so all things now do hold their peace,
Heaven and earth disturbèd in no thing.
The beast, the air, the birds their song do cease;
The nightès chare the stars about doth bring;
Calm is the sea, the waves work less and less.
So am not I, whom love, alas, doth wring,
Bringing before my face the great increase
Of my desires, whereat I weep and sing,
In joy and woe, as in a doubtful ease:
For my sweet thoughts sometime do pleasure bring,
But by and by the cause of my disease
Gives me a pang that inwardly doth sting,
When that I think what grief it is, again,
To live, and lack the thing should rid my pain.

A kite may be made convex to the wind by either of two methods:
William Eddy, a journalist from New Jersey, was motivated by the desire to lift meterological and photographic equipment, for which he needed a good steady flyer. He seems to have been aware of the existance of bowed kites from Java (the Malay kite) but, being unable to obtain reliable information about them, reinvented the form himself. His kite rapidly superceeded McAidie's flat barn door kite for meterological purposes.
Modern diamond kites may be either bowed or dihedral, and may have a keel both to aid stability and to avoid the need for a bridle. Such kites are sometimes loosely refered to as Eddys or Malays even though they may differ significantly from their antecedants. In particular, Eddy's kite had a bowed cross-spar and a loose sail, the sail folding back against the spine so as to form a keel at its lower end. This also aided stability, but Eddy's seminal contribution was that he was apparently the first person to explain (and so exploit) the stabilising effect of a bow or dihedral.
Malays and Eddys are good light to moderate wind flyers. However, the smaller toy shop examples often need a stiff breeze to fly well since with a smaller sail area the lift to weight ratio is less favourable; a minimum size of spar is required to survive enthusiastic handling by children. Another factor is that some such kites rely on wind pressure to induce the bow, without which they tend to fly in circles, or more often a semicircle ending in a meteoric collision with a used planet, inconsiderately left in their path by a profligate civilisation!
Charlie Charlton gives a very simple plan entitled "So you want to make a kite".
The bow and the large sail area make it an excellent stable lifting kite, which, together with its simple construction, make it a favourite amongst enthusiasts today, whether for lifting parachuting teddybears, displaying "line laundry" (windsocks etc), providing a canvas for an artistic talent, or simply for drying the kids' swimsuits on the line!
The lower cross-spar is bowed slightly more than the upper one for stability. Although wood, such as dowelling or bamboo, can be successfully used for spars, care has to be taken to ensure that it bows evenly along its length. An unevenness not easily measured, was sufficient to make my first rok (39k) fly at 45 degrees. This applies to a greater or lesser extent to all bowed kites; use of fibreglass for the cross-spars overcomes this problem, but it's still important to make the kite symetrical and evenly balanced.
Several sets of plans are available on the net, probably the most detailed being Charlie Charlton's 1.2m Rok ©Charlie Charlton.
In 1901, Marconi used a Levitator kite to lift his aerial to some 400ft for his historic first transatlantic radio tests. The choice of kite was plainly not ideal since his first attempt resulted in the loss of a kite, and he barely succeeded with the second, faced with violent instability.
It's a good light wind kite which flies with the line at a high angle on account of its high aspect ratio. Cheap plastic deltas are often seen for sale at beach kiosks, and seem to fly well in hardly any wind. In fact, I've often seen them still flying when I couldn't find anything in my kite bag that would stay up!
An excellent site dedicated to delta kites is well worth a visit. It also includes fascinating details of how they have been used with great success in training falcons!
Eden gives plans for several variants of the delta. Online plans for several variants are also available. Charlie Charlton has plans for yet another delta variant. Here is a picture ©Charlie Charlton (10k) of it.
Plans are given by Pelham but in greater detail by Eden. Thomas-Michael Rudolph gives online plans, and the same site also gives plans for the original Roloplan, which give an interesting insight into where the Pearson roller came from even if you have no intention of building one.
Here is a roller (11k) built to TMR's plan by Patrick Mann.
In the East, fighter kites are used in battles, with lines impregnated with ground glass (known as manja) in order to cut opponents' kites out of the sky. It is by no means unusual for someone to put up a kite from the roof of his house and to be engaged in battle by another flyer from a distance of 1000 yards (yes, a thousand!) Nor is it unusual for people to fall off their roofs in the excitement, or for children to get injured by traffic as they run through the streets after defeated kites. And in Afganistan, kite-flying has been banned because of the danger to children chasing kites across minefields.
These kites are controlled entirely by line tension. As the flying line is allowed to relax the kite becomes flat and flies in circles, but as soon as tension is applied, the cross-spar bows and the kite flies off in whatever direction it was pointing at that instant. With a well balanced kite and a little practice, it is possible to set it in rotation in either direction at will since it always tends to start rotating in the direction which takes it quickest to 12 o'clock. Although becoming an expert takes years of practice, you can master the basic technique in ten minutes, and it won't be long before you can impress your friends. They won't know whether it's going where you intend it too! Flying a fighter is like nothing else; someone (I forget who) compared it to having a leaf, dancing in the wind, on the end of your string. Even though you may have no hope or ambition of becoming an expert, a fighter is so easy and cheap to make or buy that no kite flyer should miss the experience.
One man launching is tricky for a beginner, and if you have to learn by yourself, your first fighter is likely to take a beating. Launching from your hand is possible but difficult because control is very hard on a short line. The alternative is to make or improvise a launching stand to hold the kite upright and facing the wind but leaning back, while you unwind 30 - 50ft of line. A firm pull will then launch it straight up. Concentrate on maintaining altitude while you get the hang of it. Normal practice is to use a spool from which you can pull line continuously as you need it. As you pull the line in, you let it drop at your feet in a pile from which it can be let out again as needed.
Plans are available on the net for several fighters, such as this Indian Fighter, and this Hata (both in French, English translations available for the Indian Fighter and Hata). Patrick Pann has some useful tips on splitting bamboo.
If fighters intrigue you, there is an excellent fighter kites web site with many pictures.
It was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, better known for his other invention, the telephone. Some have suggested that he should have stuck to kites and saved the world from a veritable scourge, but in fact, his kite experiments post-dated the telephone and were funded by the modest wealth the earlier invention brought him.
Bell's kite, often simply known as the Tetra, is a real head-turner, and is highly stable, given a fresh wind, on account of the large dihedral content of its structure. However, it requires a lot of sparing, and the weight of this together with the high angle at which the lifting surfaces are set to the wind result in a low angle of flight.
Another unusual feature of the tetra is that it can be made in any size simply by combining a suitable number of identical cells. A single tetrahedral cell is a poor flyer, but a 4 cell tetra flies reasonably well, if a bit wobbly. In fact, the performance improves progressively as you increase the number of cells.
In 1907, Bell built a tetrahedral kite which he called the "Cygnet", consisting of 3393 cells, with an opening in the centre to carry a man. Equipped with floats and towed by a steamer, it flew beautifully for 7 minutes over Baddock Bay, Nova Scotia, carrying Thomas Selfridge of the US Army. The descent was so gentle that, with his vision obscured by the structure around him, he was unaware that he was coming down until the kite touched the water. Unfortunately, the line from the steamer was not released quickly enough and the kite was destroyed as it was dragged through the sea. Nevertheless, Selfridge escaped with nothing worse than a dunking.
The hardest part in building a tetra is in joining the spars. Three different types of joint are required, and if each is designed to hinge in a particular way, the whole structure can be folded flat - a big advantage for transportation.
A tetra may seem a formidible kite to build, but in fact you can make your own very easily out of drinking straws and mylar gift wrap, held together with thread and sticky tape. Rob and Tony have plans for more robust tetra, using rigid spars, which is hardly more difficult, though rather more costly and time consuming. Their site also has pictures of their creations. An interesting alternative method of construction using internal bracing for the cells is given by Eden, although this doesn't allow easy collapsing for transport. Here is a picture of one of Anthony Thyssen's tetras.

I'm back to work after 2 weeks off. Even if my job is making art it still feels like too many 'have to' s and if rather be sat in a field.
Another addition to the bird patch family.
We've spent a few days Chesterblade Hills in Somerset. I've painted this super shiny ladybird in exchange for a stay on their land.
Drawn on a rainy day in a caravan in Somerset. This British summer is giving me lots of time to sit inside and doodle.
More patches.
Saturday afternoon bird patch doodle. With a love, skull, cat, speech bubble thing.
