Alpha 3 ISO Tracker New Features
As Martin Pitt announced, we are in the Maverick Meerkat Alpha 3 release week. As for every milestone, we will be coordinating the testing of the different images we produce in the ISO Tracker. This time, however, the ISO Tracker comes with some new features (and some bug fixes) that will make your testing easier.
Coverage report is back (including optional testcases!)
After way too many milestones and releases, the coverage report is back again! This report is useful to see what testcases need some testing, and which ones haven't been covered. This is special important for optional testcases, that are now included in the report. Optional testcases are testcases that do not need to be covered for every image but that need to be covered at least once. Visiting this report testers will clearly see which optional testcases have not been covered. So, go ahead, use this new feature, and cover some of those not-so-optional testcases!
Started tests in the landing page
In the global list of images, apart from the finished tests and the tests that failed (in red), we do have now the number of testcases that have been marked as "Started". This number is shown in yellow.
"Not Complete" Filter
Apart from the usual status filters, we have included the "Not Complete" filter, which will show the images that have at least one uncovered testcase.
Delete your own result
Testers were complaining that, if the marked a test as Started and then something prevented them from finishing the test, they couldn't delete their results. Now it is possible to delete your own results. If you made a mistake, nothing prevents you from going back.
Improved administrator interface
Although this feature will only be useful for administrators, I wanted to include it in this list. Apart from adding new milestones and builds, now it is also possible to add new products and new testcases using the web interface. This will accelerate the addition of new products and will help other teams to adopt the ISO Tracker quicker.

This is pretty neat! I think this kind of infrastructure, if complete, could aid other
major distros too.
Thanks for the good job.
I hope will be implemented an archive for the already reported (precedent versions) bugs.
I think it is usefull a file bug button

On Wed., August 8, we have a crazy-good guest in the studio: expert martial artist, dancer and professional stuntman-coordinator Peter Allende Jr. Peter who will no doubt have some stories to tell.
His film credits include Step Up 4, Never Back Down, Fast & Furious 2, Swing City and Miami Vice. TV credits include Burn Notice, CSI: Miami, Homeland Security and America's Most Wanted.
Peter has also been in a bunch of commercials, appearing in ads for Burger King and Volkswagen.
He lists his skills as karate, boxing, gymnastics and breakdancing. But he's not just "into" karate, he's a 5th Degree Black Belt and Hall of Fame Inductee that has been ranked #1 in Fighting, #1 in Forms and #2 Weapons.
He also owns the Peter Allende Karate School, located here in Orlando.
This all despite a serious auto accident back in the '90s that required four surgeries.
Needless to say, he's a well-rounded fellow and we're glad to have him. But can he survive an hour with the Kevin Sutton Show crew?
Tune in to find out.

Yasser Roudi: Creating maps in the brain
SIGNAL SEARCHER Physicist Yasser Roudi is gleaning new insights into how the brain processes information. Yasser Roudi, 34Norwegian University of Science and Technology | Computational NeuroscienceGraduate school: SISSA in Trieste, Italy Your senses are bombarded by constant information — sounds, colors, shapes and ever-changing motion — yet you don't notice most of these things. The brain has figured out ways to pay attention to relevant information and ignore distractions. How the brain does this is not fully understood, but physicist Yasser Roudi says one thing is clear: "It's about information processing in a very chaotic environment that's full of signals." Roudi is figuring out how to sort through and make sense of the vast number of inputs that bombard the brain and other complex systems. Born in Tehran, Roudi knew…

The European oil industry rang the alarm yesterday (20 September) on the impact of EU energy efficiency legislation on oil refining activities, warning of the end of the sector in Europe.
Recent EU legislative proposals on energy efficiency pose "a substantial risk of leaving many regions and probably countries without indigenous refineries," warns a new report published by Europia, the European petroleum industry association.
This may be good news for environmentalists and local populations which are increasingly scared of potential health risks linked to having a refinery near home.
However, the loss of refineries could have serious consequences on employment, innovation and the security of supplies, according to Europia, which represents oil giants such as Total, Chevron, ENI, and ExxonMobil.
According to Europia figures, refineries employ in Europe around 600,000 people, and the sector supports the significant petrochemical industry, which employs in turn almost 800,000 people.
"The EU should thoroughly assess the risks associated with a disengagement of EU refining in Europe," warned Isabelle Muller, Europia's Secretary General.
Europia's position has hardened in recent months following the Commission proposal in June of a new directive on energy efficiency.
The legislative text suggests "recalibrating" the emissions trading system, possibly by making it binding by 2013 rather than 2020. This will inevitably increase costs on energy-intensive industries, including refining. Europia considers this move "a major competitive blow and disappointment to the refining sector."
Brussels has pushed in this direction because the target of reaching 20% energy savings by 2020 looks to be far from being fulfilled on time. It is indeed the only energy target that is likely not to be met among the three 20-20-20 objectives adopted by the EU in 2008 (see 'Background').
"Instead of changing consumers' behaviour, the EU legislator is attacking the production," said Muller, "but production is mobile," she added, underlining the risk that EU refineries could relocate in third countries. The loss of refineries would also imply the gradual disappearance of the petrochemical industry which is usually closely located to refining activities, goes on her reasoning.
The allies that Europia has found in the energy directorate-general of the European Commission were however not enough to win the internal battle over a more assertive anti-climate change policy.
In Brussels, indeed, the positions of those who play down the so called 'carbon leakage' threat seem to prevail, arguing that the EU economy will only be partially affected by the possible relocation of certain industries outside the EU.
In December 2008, EU leaders agreed new legislation to reduce the EU's emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases by 20% by 2020, while boosting the bloc's share of renewable energy use to 20% over the same period. Energy efficiency is the other 20-20-20 target for the decade.
But, unlike the other two goals, energy efficiency targets are not legally binding and in January, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso blamed this for the fact that it was the only goal not being met.
Commission documents forecast average energy savings of only around 10% by 2020, with the UK on track for 9% and even Germany only likely to hit 14%.

Business Contracts Office
Finalizing and Executing the Agreement
Finalizing the Agreement
- Final Negotiations with the Vendor : Subject to any unusual circumstances or unless requested otherwise, the Contracts Office will facilitate the final negotiations with the vendor's legal office or contract officers.
- Departmental Approval Required : The Contracts Office will maintain continuous consultation with the department, specifically in the area of business issues. Prior to requesting signatures, the Contracts Office will route a final copy of the contract to the department for review, usually via e-mail. Upon approval by the department (typically in an e-mail), the contract will be submitted for signature. Depending on the specific circumstances, either the vendor or UTSA can be the first to sign the agreement.
- Additional Necessary Approvals : Depending upon the nature of the contract, the Contracts Office may request a final review and/or approval from any affected departments or University experts (i.e. O.I.T., Risk Management, Legal Affairs, Auxiliary Svcs., Environmental Safety, Facilities, etc.).
Completing the File
Filing of an Executed Agreement: Upon final signature and execution of the contract, the original agreement will be routed to the Associate Vice President for Administration for filing. Copies of the Agreement will be maintained in Distribution Services and filed with the procurement documentation. A copy of the Agreement will also be sent to the requesting department and any other interested UTSA offices.
Approvals in POINT : When the agreement is signed, the associated Buyer in the Purchasing Office will approve the original electronic purchase request in the POINT Plus system (PB4). Because the PB4 also authorizes payment to the vendor, approval of the PB4 prior to contract execution will only occur in unusual circumstances.

Pleasant Hall
For centuries Pleasant Hall has reined over the heart of Kempsville. Sitting near the busy intersection of Princess Anne & Kempsville Roads, the beautiful structure has lived through change and survived to meet our new century. Currently owned by Kempsville Baptist Church, the structure's immediate previous use was as a funeral parlor. An addition was added to the east side to serve that commercial purpose. Pleasant Hall was built as a private residence by George Logan in 1769. The City of Virginia Beach's Historic Preservation department reports that "The Victory Ball for the Battle of Great Bridge was held in this building in 1775." The house sat very near the early Princess Anne Courthouse and a historical marker chronicles that story.
The Princess Anne County Courthouse was located 200 yards northeast of this point at the time of the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America in 1787. This marker erected by the Constitution's Celebration Commission of the City of Virginia Beach and the Princess Anne County - Virginia Beach Historical Society, September 17, 1987.

Audi will manufacture the A3 sedan at the Gyor plant in Hungary, where expansion work is currently being done, a company communication executive told Inautonews.com.
Mr. Josef Schlossmacher, Audi's Product and Technology communication manager, told us that the A3 sedan for Europe will be built in Hungary, at the Gyor plant located in the western part of the country. "While the Audi A3 3-door and Sportback are built in Ingolstadt, the Audi A3 sedan will be manufactured in Györ, Hungary," the executive told Inautonews.com via e-mail. Up until now, Audi only said the Gyor plant will build an A3-derivative, without specifying the name of the model. He confirmed that Audi's competitor for the Mercedes-Benz CLA will be launched "both in the U.S. as well as in China".
The Audi official did not reveal however when the A3 sedan would be introduced on these markets. "We haven't decided yet on exact time frames for the market introduction in those countries yet," Mr. Schlossmacher added. Asked about the pricing of the A3 sedan in Europe, he replied: "A starting price for the sedan hasn't been fixed yet."
Schlossmacher confirmed that the A3 family will receive a fourth member starting from next year. "Of course there will be a fourth member of the family, coming into the market next year – the new Audi A3 cabriolet. For more versions there are no plans existing so far," the official said.
Audi's Gyor plant currently manufactures the TT Coupe, TT Roadster, A3 Cabriolet and Audi RS3 Sportback (the latter two based on the previous generation A3). Last year, Audi announced the A3 sedan will be built from 2013 in a new plant located in Foshan, China, for the domestic market and other Asian markets. As for the U.S.-spec Audi A3 sedan, it is likely that A3 sedans for North America will be shipped from the Gyor plant.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello my name is Alex and I will help you with this. Please note that I am a working Solicitor and may be on and offline as I have to attend Court and meet with clients, even at weekends. As such you may not get an instant response when you reply as this is not an 'on demand' live service, but rest assured I will be giving your question my immediate attention upon return. There is no need to wait here, you will get an email when I reply.
When was this decision made please?
This is part of an ongoing Ofsted inspection right now
Do they have a policy in relation to this matter?
Yes they do have a policy. It is to stop a child from leaving if they believe that the child is at risk of foreseeable harm as defined by S. 31(9) and 31(10) of the Children Act 1989.
Ofsted's recent guidance for care homes however, states that unless they are a secure home, mandated by the Secretary of State, then they cannot lock a door or physically stop a child from leaving, irrespective of the risk.
What you can do is once they deal with the investigation is to seek a Judicial Review of the decision. This is where a High Court Judge examines a decision made by a Public Body and decides whether their actions are on the whole reasonable and legal.
Clearly in this case it would not appear to be legal in accordance with the Children Act 1989.
Further they have a policy and guidance that states contrary to what they are doing.
The court can also consider whether the actions taken are reasonable.
The Court can either agree with the decision or remit it back for further consideration.
You would probably need a Solicitor because there are Judicial Review pre action protocols to follow and Court rules and procedure.
Can I clarify anything for you about this today please?
No this doesn't sound right Alex. Surely it is good practice and good sense that care staff take reasonable steps to protect children from foreseeable harm. They have a duty of care towards the child under Health & Safety Legislation and a positive obligation to preserve life and prevent torture, inhumane and degrading treatment under Human RIghts legislation. Ofsted have it written in their guidance, but this is placing a duress on the care home provider to place a child at risk purely to satisfy Ofsted's 'tick-box' approach to compliance.
They have a duty of care but where a public body has taken a decision and you disagree with it then normally action is taken in terms of Judicial Review.
What you can not do is sue the Public body in this case Ofsted if no loss has occurred. You can not sue for a theoretical loss.
They do have a duty of care but you can not sue if there has been no loss. As for Human Rights you do have rights, but again this would only come into place in terms of Court action for loss or Judicial Review.
Does this clarify the position?

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Great Product but Please make it Without Salt!
This is a great original very nutritious organic nut butter. The manufacturer however should remove the salt. It simply doesn't need any. Salt does not enhance but rather DETRACTS from the unique flavor of the nut/seed combination and is certainly not helpful for the majority of us who need to monitor our sodium intake. Anyone who does want salt could easily add their own. The manufacturer should also add some walnuts to the mix to even further boost the Omega 3 nutritional profile.

I think I really had high expectations based off the reviews here. The price is high. It's a great variety of nuts but I don't think the taste is worth the price tag. It's good don't get me wrong, but not "I'll buy again" good. Crunchy peanut butter still takes the cake.
Good consistency, great for baking

I use this for baking and other recipes that call for almond butter or peanut butter. I like that it has a variety of nuts and seeds so it increases the range of nutrients. Will buy again.
Unbelieavably good!

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello a family law colleague has just informed me that this is not a formal adoption situation from a family law point of view.
From an employment law point of view a person is only entitled to paid leave in respect of their own child or where a formal adoption takes place via a UK or Overseas adoption agency I'm afraid. This means that there is no legal obligation for your employer to give you paid leave and you will not be entitled to the equivalent of statutory maternity pay in respect of any period of leave that you might be given at the discretion of your employer.
It is perhaps worth discussing your situation with your employer as they may, at their discretion, offer you some time off.
I am sorry that this is not the answer that you were hoping for. I would like to wish you the best for the future.
I have seen the information written down myself I just cannot find it again as I have looked at so much written information. I have also spoken to social services who tell me that it is in the legislation but again we cannot find it which is why I paid for your help. Sorry but you did not help at all.

More than 93,000 users of Sony's PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment had their accounts locked after virtual intruders tried to logon, the company said.
Sony says less than one-tenth of one percent of their millions of users had their accounts accessed by invalid users. Those accounts were promptly locked and users will have to complete a secure reset process to re-access their accounts.
Credit card numbers were not revealed, Sony said.
"These attempts appear to include a large amount of data obtained from one or more compromised lists from other companies, sites or sources," the company said in a statement.
This is the second time this year Sony has been hit with a major security breach. In the spring, all 70 million subscribers lost access to the network for nearly a week after a hacker wormed his way into the system.

Discussion in 'General Gallery' started by jols, Nov 17, 2007.
hope you like????????
i like it cause it looks like you hung a curtain on ur wall and thats what i do lol. na but on a serious note nice shot i love the lighting on the girl.
but could the white balance be a bit off?
also it seems you maybe had more light on the lower half, overexposing there?
explain white balance please.
and its not a curtain .....................................its a sheet ha ha
different light sources have different spectra. there is "warm" light, "cool" light, whatever.
If you look with your eyes at a scene illuminated by a certain type of light (e.g. tungsten light), then your brain compensates to some extent and you "see" sort of normal colours.
However, if you take the image with a camera, and look at it later, then the image is taken out of context and your brain does a less good job in compensating. You appear to see false colours.
Hence the photographer uses filters to compensate the type of light while shooting. or, when shooting digital, he can set the white balance in his camera (in such a way that white is white without a colour cast).
white balance is in particular important when it comes to skin tones.
I did not say that white balance is far off though.
here you can see an example where it is far off:
thanks for that i wil check out the link
yay for sheets.. i have used them too...
its slightly darker over her head and around the edges.. possibly play with you levels?
i love how she has her hands clasped and her mouth open in a true smile/laugh. im not crazy about the rolls in the sheet but think this is a very nice photograph.
thanks you for your comments.
christina she is laughing cause i have a toy dog on my head that barks.
tricks of the trade ha ha

Reviews Comments: Terribly crafted, but surprisingly useful. Inheritance Cycle whole series review by Darth Gangsta
Inheritance is, in a word, pooptastic. Okay, so in a made-up word. But there are a couple ways that the series can benefit us. The first way is obvious, and many have pointed it out, but I say it nonetheless: doorstoppers. Paolini's pointlessly longwinded writing has made for some books of impressive weight. Maybe they can be used to hold down buttons in order to solve in standard dungeon puzzles? They're probably cliche enough. The second use is as a beacon of bad writing, nonexistent research, and just plain wrongness (as in Uncanny Valley creepiness). As I am working on my first foray into writing a full novel, Eragon has shown me what a bad writer really is capable of. I am at once shown errors that no writer should make, and encouraged in that even a bad writer can make a fuck-ton of money if they make their story nice and flashy. So, being a hack, I can look to Paolini as inspiration. Oh, shit. I forgot that his parents ran a print company and actually produced that monstrosity. And after that, the pretentious snot was lucky enough to have a Knopf executive's nephew (I think it was a nephew) read the book and fall in love with it. Yeah, I think he was an elementary schooler. The last use is to provide that magic moment Stephen King described, when you put down a book and say: "Boy, that sucked! I can do better than this, and this got published!" Anyway, I can hardly begin to bash the cycle adequately. If you want someone's much better thought out criticism, I recommend Kippur's Eragon Sporkings. They're hilarious, and go very far in depth. Thank you for reading, unless you are Christopher Paolini, in which case: PLEASE STOP!
what are you talking about? Pooptastic is a perfectly cromulent word!
You think you can do better? Not from what I can see in your review. The last line is funny... yep, that's about it. And yes I did just review your review.
You sound a little butthurt there Glix. I thought his review was fine, and I think it is good advice that any aspiring author needs to take: find a terrible novel, and read it whenever you feel your own writing is bad. I do the same with Rich Shapero's Wild Animus.
Right, the review is ok, just ok. That is my criticism, it is bland. I can't see any signs of any stylistic flare whatso ever. Absolutely nothing that would support his claim that he could write better. The last line made me laugh yes, but at that frequency of witticism I could hardly call his writing style superior to a Christopher Poalini's. At a local seminar for aspiring authors I have infact received the exact oppossite advice, according to the speaker: the worst thing you can to is try and outdo a style you think is inferior and unenjoyable to read, strive instead to write the kind of story that you yourself love to read, you'll enjoy it more and the end result will be better too.
Well, I appreciate your feedback, sir! I don't truly know whether my writing is better than Paolini's; I merely meant that it can it least inspire others to try better. I never claimed I was a better writer, so your claim that my claim has no evidence has no evidence, because no claim was made. Also, I said that I was a poor writer myself in the second paragraph. I believe, if you look, that I refer to myself as a hack. Thus Chrisropher P. is someone I can look to for encouragement as a highly unoriginal person. All joking aside (but is it REALLY a joke to say I'm a bad writer?), I don't think that Stephen King's advice and that of the speaker you mentioned are mutually exclusive. Bad books are good for the purpose of avoiding what does not work. If a doctor can't diagnose cancer then he can't really treat it, now can he? We need bad writing (see above review) to differentiate between what works in fiction and what doesn't.

Employment engagement is profitable
Employee engagement, which leads to unusually effective employee behavior, subsequently reflects in organizational success, U.S. researchers suggest.
William H. Macey and Benjamin Schneider said employee engagement refers to the positive feelings employees have about their job as well as the motivation and effort they put into their work.The study authors contend that employees will feel -- and act -- engaged when their employer creates conditions that permit them to do so. The key condition for feeling engaged is fair treatment, which creates a feeling of trust and, in turn, feeling safe to be engaged.
Some people confuse engagement with satisfaction and/or commitment and consider retention and turnover to be indicators of engagement, the researchers said.
However, Macey and Schneider said employee engagement concerns both feelings of engagement, focus and enthusiasm, as well as engagement behavior, proactivity and persistence.
Engagement is not synonymous with satisfaction. Engagement connotes energy and not satiation, while satisfaction connotes satiation and contentment but not energy.
The authors wrote in the journal Industrial and Organizational Psychology that employees come to work ready to be engaged, and the challenge for organizations is to create conditions that will release that energy.

A few years ago iPads were seen as luxury items – not quite toys, but perhaps not a necessary tool of business either. But times have changed, and tablets have gone from nice-to-have luxuries to essential tools for many. Apple's drive to put iPads into classrooms has ensured continued development of good quality apps for work and study, and that has boosted adoption in businesses, too.
There are many niche apps available for iPads, but we're going to focus on more general iPad use in this article.
Everyday admin
Running a business isn't all glamour and glitz. There's a certain amount of admin to do, and in the early months or years, this will be down to you. With your iPad in tow, you can cut back on the amount of admin that swallows up your time.
Banking apps are notable time-savers, since they allow you to perform quick, basic banking tasks without the need for cumbersome logins. Often, these apps double up as your security token (such as Barclays' PinSentry feature). Not every bank has an app – The Co-Operative is an exception. However most other high street providers have rolled out something for iOS.
Communication and video
It's crazy to think that the original iPad didn't have a camera, front or back. Now, we're utterly reliant on camera apps for all kinds of things. From document archiving to QR code recognition, the camera has become an essential business tool. Many businesses still prefer video calling to voice calls, so apps like Facetime serve them well.
Facetime lets you converse one to one over a data connection without the need for an additional login. For group conversation, Skype and Hangouts are good alternatives.
Sharing and collaboration
Working remotely means sharing documents and getting together 'virtually' to discuss projects. The iPad has allowed us to move beyond teleconferencing towards multi-faceted messaging and communication tools.
Evernote is one of the best examples of collaborative apps for iOS. It lets you draw, write or snap photos, then tag those items and share them with a group. Evernote's strength is in its cross-platform compatibility, but it has a slightly steeper learning curve than something like Dropbox or Drive.
Apple is also bringing its own applications to the cloud, and we'll soon see apps for iWork allowing full online collaboration. This will essentially be the native Apple equivalent to Microsoft's Office suite, but with iCloud controlling the sharing.
Exploring the market
The App Store is full to the brim with handy business applications. Often, you don't know their potential until you give them a whirl.
With so many free iPad apps available for office work, you can experiment until you find your ideal productivity suite.
Do you need further advice on iPads in business?
Give us a call or email to find out how you can lease and use iPads within your business.

I have just purchased the Feiyutech G3 gimbal from you guys,
The question is what is the best way to control this, i guess it can be left totally manual, but what is the best way through mission planner as i want to make use of ROI and the tilt mechanism.
As for setting the FY-G3 gimbal up with APM/pixhawk you can see how to do that in our FY-G3 Manual
But the short version is here:
You simply need to connect the FY-G3 to one of the APM outputs, and then specify the channels within the mission planner, but just make sure to disable the stabilise tilt box. But as you want to use the ROI feature on APM its best to route through APM in case so that it can control the pitch to keep a position in view as you fly around it.
Otherwise you can also just connect the FY-G3 directly to a spare channel on your receiver and bypass APM if you dont need to use the ROI feature.

Generating Music Notation in Real Time
The scripts then generate a full Score's worth of musical material, constrained by the variables above. At this point, all of these data still exist only as Lists of Objects within a Python script. I chose MusicXML as the format for external storage.
MusicXML is a subset of XML specifically geared toward musical data. Developed by Recordare LLC, it is largely geared toward being an interchange format for music notation programs. It is also useful, however, as a generic storage format for musical data, as befits a dialect of XML.
Musicians probably can figure out that this XML fragment represents a 16th note B flat in the third octave with no dynamic, articulatory or other special alterations.
The script stores the most recent MusicXML file for each instrument using the path convention inst/yyyy_mo_dd-hh_mi_ss.xml, where inst is the instrument name and other letter codes are time units. Upon reading an XML file, the script then moves it into a backup directory and compresses it with bzip2. Storage of old data is useful for documentation of specific performances, learning how audiences react to their role in the piece and debugging. Once the script has read in the XML data, it's ready to output for processing by Lilypond.
GNU Lilypond is a Scheme-based music typesetting program that uses a TeX-like backslash notation for formatting commands and has a particular focus on high-quality music engraving inspired by the best traditional hand engraving. It outputs to several high-resolution formats, including PostScript, DVI and PNG.
In Listing 5, we see Lilypond markup for one measure of music. The vertical pipe represents a barline, the % MEASURE 2 is a comment, the \time indicates the 7/8 meter, the ef makes the first note an E flat, the '' raises the note two octaves higher than the baseline used by the program, the 8 gives the note a rhythmic value of an 8th note and the -\pp attaches a pianissimo dynamic indicator to the note. Two other notes follow. The measure is rendered as shown in Figure 2.
The storage of semantically meaningful musical data in MusicXML and presentation data in Lilypond markup mirrors the trend in the HTML or DocBook worlds, where structural information is kept independent of the final rendering. As a side benefit, these scripts also are useful in a pinch as a MusicXML to Lilypond to dvi/ps/pdf converter.
During the performance, the audience can and should input data that will direct the future course of the music. I wanted to use a GUI interface for the audience. The piece uses bash scripting as a glue language, but all of the real work is done by Python, making the various Python GUI options obvious candidates. For several reasons, I chose a Web browser interface with CGI forms for data input. What are the advantages of a Web interface over a Python-based GUI?
Web browsers are ubiquitous, among the most commonly used user applications in the world. Rather than requiring an installation of an X client and Python with GUI libraries and then needing to work out OS-specific issues, I simply can require performance sites to have machines with Web browsers—a trivial request.
It is largely due to browsers' ubiquity that they also are familiar. Self-described novice computer users are often far more comfortable operating a browser than some new GUI interface they've never seen before. In fact, even though page layout rendering of HTML often differs a great deal from one instance to another, it feels familiar to the user. This comfort level is especially critical for a performance situation like mine, where the audience needs to get over a natural reluctance to participate actively in a process traditionally reserved for the performers.
In addition, HTML is easy to code. Rob Pike's Rule 4 states that "fancy algorithms are buggier than simple ones", and straightforward markup usually is even simpler. More information about the benefits of thin-client designs like this can be found in Hugh Williams and David Lane's Web Database Applications, published by O'Reilly and Associates.
Using a browser interface has clear drawbacks, but luckily, none are particularly relevant to my project. HTTP is slow, but I need to update only once per page of music, no faster than about once per minute. HTML/CSS style is relatively inflexible, but my design needs are simple. Video is problematic for pure HTML presentation without plugins that often are proprietary, but I need only still images.
Given that we have a browser interface and hopefully a participating audience, we need to process their data. I use a Python CGI script to capture variables. It writes values within a <pre> tag, values that the later processing script reads in order to do the actual modification of musical data. This generic, extensible setup means that the capturing script needs little to no alteration as I improve the piece's other scripts by adding variables or changing how they are interpreted at other stages in the piece.
Simple it up not so long no
Simple it up not so long no one is going to read it all.

The Metropolitan police are to be asked to investigate allegations that reality TV star Jade Goody's phone was hacked while she was dying of cancer.
It is understood Charlotte Harris, the Mishcon de Reya lawyer representing several phone-hacking claimants, has been asked to represent her and to go to the Met with the allegations made by Goody's mother, Jackiey Budden.
Budden believes both her and her daughter's phones were hacked, but did nothing about it until July this year when she read about murder victim Milly Dowler's phone messages being intercepted by the News of the World. She could not understand how journalists were getting hold of information and, when she read the Dowler story, believed it could have been through phone-hacking.
"She [Jackiey] will be going to the police. She believes her phone was hacked by the News of the World, and Jade's. Jade told me 'I'm convinced my phone is being hacked'," said Max Clifford, who handled Goody's PR after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August 2008.
"Jade had said to me on many occasions that someone had been bugging her phone because of stuff that was coming out in the papers. She would say, 'I've had these conversations and there's no way any of these people would have revealed them'," added Clifford. "This was all while she was ill. I think it's absolutely disgusting."
Clifford said Goody was convinced calls she made to her mother in August 2008 from the Big Brother set in India to tell her she had cancer had been hacked. "She said to me 'I think my phone is being bugged'," he added.
The PR man, who settled his own News of the World phone-hacking action for more than £1m last year, said the former Big Brother contestant was an obvious target – in the months between being diagnosed and her death in March 2009, there was "a feeding frenzy" and "immense interest" in getting exclusives about her personal life.
If the allegations against the News of the World are substantiated, it would increase the duration of the now defunct News International title's allegedly illegal activities. Up to now the News of the World has been implicated in phone-hacking allegations up to mid 2006 when Glenn Mulcaire, the phone investigator who formally worked for the title, was arrested.
Mishcon de Reya said it "could not confirm" whether or not it had been instructed by Budden.
News International declined to comment, but a spokeswoman said the company continued to cooperate fully with police investigation.
Goody lived the last seven years of her life in the spotlight, with every twist and turn documented or exposed in the tabloids from her first appearance in Channel 4's Big Brother in 2002, when she was branded "Miss Piggy" by the tabloids, to the day she died.
Her on-off relationship with the father of her two children, a miscarriage, and then her cancer were all covered in minute detail by the tabloids, with 140 stories alone featuring Goody in the News of the World between diagnosis and her death seven months later.
But she also regularly co-operated with the now defunct News International paper in "buy-ups" – deals in which she would talk about her life in exchange for payment.
In a separate development on Friday, the actress Sienna Miller revealed that she accused her mother, her sister and her former boyfriend Jude Law of selling stories about her to the press because she could not understand how journalists were getting information about her private life.
"I changed my mobile number three times in three months. There were clicks on the line. I would pick up the phone and it would drop, there were messages I would never get, coupled with articles [containing private information] coming out every week.
"So I started to do tests. I would leave messages on people's phones, like we're going to rent this house or whatever, and it would appear next day in the papers," she told the Independent.

|Summary, etc.:
| They travel the roads on a warm summer day, enjoying the summer breeze as they take in scenery along the way. Driving past woods and fields bordering rustic country roads, they raise their hands from time to time to acknowledge both neighbors and strangers, but most times they are lost in conversation while enjoying an unhurried ride.The sight of an Amish horse and buggy can be a romantic reminder of a simpler time, when life wasn't constantly propelling us forward. It may also serve as a contrast between the Amish world and the modern world around them.While the two worlds are distinctly different, the Amish and the modern world around them have learned how to coexist in great numbers throughout Clark County, WisconsinIt is difficult to make accurate generalizations about the Amish, as lifestyles and guidelines greatly differ among their districts.This book illustrates what one might expect to see among the peaceful Amish settlements residing in Clark County, Wisconsin.

Immigrants from India flocking to the U.S.
They are getting more involved in their communities, observers say
Published 5:30 am, Monday, October 23, 2006
EDISON, N.J. - The train station billboards tell it all.
Local travel agents promise the best airfares from New York to Mumbai. Shagun Fashions is selling dazzling Indian saris. And DirecTV offers "the six top Indian channels direct to you."
Roughly every third person who lives in Edison, a New York suburb, is of Asian Indian ancestry. Many are new immigrants who have come to work as physicians, engineers and high-tech experts and are drawn to "Little India" by convenience — it's near the commuter train — and familiarity.
Here, they can "get their groceries and goods from home," says Aruna Rao, a mental health counselor who lives in town.
Although a steady stream of Indians have settled in the U.S. since the 1960s, immigrants poured into the country between 2000 and 2005 — arriving at a higher rate than any other group.
Not only is the Indian community burgeoning, it's maturing. Increasingly, after decades of quietly establishing themselves, Indians are becoming more vocal in the American conversation — about politics, ethnicity and many other topics.

"I've been studying the community for 20 years, and in the last four or five years, something different has been happening," said Madhulika Khandelwal, president of the Asian/American Center at Queens College in New York. "Indian-Americans are finally out there speaking for themselves."
And so when Virginia Sen. George Allen was caught on video in August calling an Indian-American man "macaca" — a type of monkey and an offensive term — the community quickly responded.
Within days after the reports, Sanjay Puri, founder of the U.S. Indian Political Action Committee, and other Indian leaders in Washington, D.C., requested and got a lengthy meeting with Allen, Puri said. The senator publicly apologized.
Many Indian immigrants arrived in the U.S. focused almost entirely on individual success — getting a top-notch job, making good money and pushing their children to do the same.
But things are changing. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, many Indian Sikhs, who wear turbans as part of their faith, were mistaken for Muslims — and terrorists. Hundreds were harassed or worse: In Mesa, Ariz., a Sikh gas station owner was shot and killed Sept. 15, 2001, by a man who told police "all Arabs had to be shot."
Few knew their rights because few had been engaged politically, said Amardeep Singh, executive director of The Sikh Coalition in New York.
"Sept. 11 created a confrontation," Singh said. "We realized we now need to actively involve ourselves in the policy-making process. Otherwise policies will be made that exclude us."
The group now has two bills pending in the New York city council — one would allow city employees to wear turbans, and the other would make city officials craft plans to prevent hate crimes if another terrorist attack happened. The community recently saw three Sikhs elected to low-level offices around the city. "It's a good first step," Singh said.
There are novelists, including Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri of Brooklyn; filmmakers like Mira Nair, whose The Namesake, based on Lahiri's novel and distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures, is due in theaters next spring; and prime-time TV stars such as Parminder Nagra on E.R. and Naveen Andrews on Lost.
"Many of these things are converging around the same time, so it all adds up," Khandelwal said.

Schools have a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled pupils who experience barriers to learning. Inclusive approaches to data collection ensure that the needs of all children who are struggling are not overlooked. However it is important that the methods promote sustained reflection on the part of all children; don't inadvertently accentuate differences between pupils; nor allow individual needs to go unrecognized. This paper examines more closely the processes involved in using Nominal Group Technique to collect the views of children with and without a disability on the difficulties experienced in school. Data were collected on the process as well as the outcomes of using this technique to examine how pupil views are transformed from the individual to the collective, a process that involves making the private, public. Contrasts are drawn with questionnaire data, another method of data collection favoured by teachers. Although more time-efficient this can produce unclear and cursory responses. The views that surface from pupils need also to be seen within the context of the ways in which schools customise the data collection process and the ways in which the format and organization of the activity impact on the responses and responsiveness of the pupils.
