Mayfield continued their dominance of Sussex Cricket League Division Four with yet another victory yesterday (Saturday).
A 93-run triumph at home to Southwater gave Mayfield their ninth win out of 10 and a commanding 53-point cushion at the top of the table with eight games remaining.
A splendid individual performance from Rob Sharma was the highlight for Mayfield. Sharma top-scored with 96 as Mayfield amassed 251-7 declared batting first, with Sam Hyne scoring 57 and Paul Osborne taking 3-43.
Sharma then took 5-17 off seven overs with the ball to help bowl Southwater out for 158 in 29.3 overs. Nick Baker blasted an unbeaten 40 off just 19 deliveries.
Crawley are up to second after winning by 65 runs away to Henfield in a game featuring nearly 600 runs. Crawley blazed their way to 330-6 declared in 48.3 overs after choosing to bat, with Kunal Kapoor blasting a brilliant 144 and Harry Chaudhary making 50.
Paul Clifford then ripped through the Henfield batting with 6-59 in 15.3 overs as the hosts were all out for 265 in 48.3 overs - exactly the same amount as Crawley faced. Tom Paine made exactly 100, yet still ended up on the losing side.
Slinfold's stuttering form continued with a 28-run defeat away to bottom club Hellingly, which dropped them out of the top two. Hellingly rattled up 250-7 batting first thanks largely to James Pooley's 98.
Slinfold were all out for 222 in reply despite Akeem Jordan's 55 and 32 off just 20 balls by last man Harrison Webb. Gavin Sutherland took four wickets and David Pye three.
Fourth-placed Rye drew away to Keymer & Hassocks in another match where the runs flowed. Keymer & Hassocks racked up 270-4 declared after choosing to bat, Alex Brakell hitting 98 at the top of the order and Lee Pittavino 52 not out from 38 deliveries.
Rye ended their reply on 233-9. Dan Seabrook top-scored with 79, captain Gary Willis made a career best 57 at number eight and number 10 Harry Smeed stood firm on 24 not out. Pittavino and Andy Westgate claimed three wickets apiece.
Wisborough Green picked up only their second league win of the season in a somewhat lower scoring contest at home to Stirlands. Raj Maru took 5-21 to bowl Stirlands out for just 86 and Wisborough Green knocked off the runs for the loss of only two wickets through Jim Salder (36 not out) and Nick Baron (35 not out).
Standings (all played 10 matches): 1 Mayfield 283pts, 2 Crawley 230, 3 Slinfold 210, 4 Rye 190, 5 Henfield 188, 6 Stirlands 164, 7 Keymer & Hassocks 151, 8 Southwater 145, 9 Wisborough Green 128, 10 Hellingly 114.

Gravitational Waves V
There's probably more than one way to make a black hole. One is the collapse of a massive star. Another is the merger of two other dead stars, known as neutron stars. Such a merger would produce a brilliant outburst of energy. It would also produce an outburst of ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves.
A gravitational-wave observatory known as LIGO will be looking for these mergers when it completes a major upgrade in a few years. Scientists say it should be able to detect any such merger within about 50 million light-years — perhaps dozens of them every year.
Alan Weinstein is a physicist who's working on the LIGO project.
WEINSTEIN: The first thing it would tell us is that black holes — astrophysical black holes really are the objects described theoretically from Einstein's equations. Einstein's equation tells us that what black holes are is not dense matter but more or less infinitely curved space. It's a different kind of an object. We don't have direct evidence that such objects actually exist.
MIT physicist and LIGO pioneer Rainer Weiss says the gravitational waves would also reveal important details about the mergers.
WEISS: The thing that everybody's going to ask is what happens when they crash into each other. That's going to be a test of what nuclear physics is like. How do you suppose these neutron stars bounce when they hit each other, do they splash, what's the equation of the state of nuclear matter in these stars and so forth. Gravitational radiation will tell you that, more than anything else, because it can look right through the thing and it doesn't get disturbed by anything. That's the nice thing about gravitational waves. You can get a real nice view of what's going on inside.

Free agents Dwight Howard and Chris Paul want to be teammates, ESPN's Chris Broussard reports.
Broussard says that Paul wants to stay in Los Angeles, which means the Clippers would have to work out a sign-and-trade with the Lakers to acquire Howard.
The Clippers don't have the cap space to sign Howard in unrestricted free agency.
There are multiple obstacles in front of this plan, and they are enormous:
- Howard would have to take less money in a sign-and-trade.
- The Clippers would have to blow up their young nucleus of Blake Griffin, Eric Bledsoe, and DeAndre Jordan.
- The Lakers would have to be okay with turning their co-tenants into the NBA's latest super team.
Broussard notes that there are other teams that have the cap space to sign both players, namely the Hawks. But he says Paul really wants to stay in LA and Dwight doesn't want to play in Atlanta.
They'd both have to take less money if they left their teams too.
We're skeptical, but it's out there.

(FANNIN COUNTY, TEXAS) -- Fannin County residents were shocked to see Lake Fannin suddenly locked and closed a few months ago. Today they say they just want their lake back and they're fighting for it.
Fannin County resident Cheryl Youree says "Lake Fannin isn't just some lake at the end of the sidewalk..for fannin county and for north texas it is an amazing historical treasure"
The recreational lake has been a key part of the county's history for 80 years, that's why residents were shocked to see a fence around the lake with a lock that's still on it today.
Tom Thornton says "very unexpectedly..someone went out there and said hey there's a lock on the gate and there's a sign that says it's closed until 2015."
The Forest Service says the lake is not closed forever..but, it's on probation until 2015 because of hazard trees that make it a public health and safety concern. But lake volunteers want the rights to the lake so they can restore the county's historical landmark immediately.
Volunteers with Lake Fannin are working diligently to restore the lake in hopes the Forestry Service will take it off probation since the county doesn't have the funds to buy the land.
Precinct 1 commissioner Gary Whitlock says, "I''m just trying to do the best I can to back those people and if we can, get this thing reopened."
Volunteers say until then....they'll fight on.

Inspired by this question, I would like to know what is the longest known sequence of consecutive zeros in Pi (in base 10).
So far the longest I have found is the sequence of 8 zero's occurring in position 172,330,850 after the decimal point.
If we expand the question to longest sequence of identical digits, 6 takes a lead with 9 digits occurring at position 45,681,781. All other digits have 8 digit maximum sequences occurring within the first 200,000,000 digits.
In general what is known about the distribution of k-length b-sequences in Pi, where b is any of the base digits? Can something be learned about the normalcy of Pi from these distributions? NB, by distribution I mean the set of (k,b,f) triples, for a given base, where f is the first position of occurrence.

Watermelon is a juicy, pink fruit that's 92% water.
It's pretty much all water and vitamins — a very healthy, nutritious food. It has more lycopene than any other fruits and veggies. What's lycopene? It's a pigment in red plant foods that researchers believe can prevent illness. It's also found in tomatoes.
At the store or farmer's market, you can buy watermelon uncut, sliced, or already in chunks. You eat it raw and it's very refreshing served cold in the summertime. The folks who grow and sell watermelons suggest making watermelon snow cones. Have an adult help you scoop out a big scoop of watermelon and freeze it. Then roll it in some vanilla yogurt, sprinkles, or sweetened coconut. Place the scoop on an ice cream cone or in a paper cone and enjoy.
Weird, but also good. For years, folks had to pick out — or spit out — those large black watermelon seeds. But now there are seedless watermelons, which grow — now get this — from seedless watermelon seeds. The trick is planting seeded watermelons near the seedless ones. Why? So bees can carry some of the pollen from the seeded watermelons to the unseeded ones. Otherwise, the seedless watermelon plants wouldn't produce fruit.

First of all Bingo Bash can be obtained free of cost. Thus, you shouldn't get worried about any hidden costs. Alternative designs are out there for either Android and iPhone, so this is yet another concern that you can put off your shoulders.
The following detail that would astonish you about Bingo Bash is that it is fairly safe. There's no need to worry about your personal information being leaked if this is the game that you opt for.
Also, it presents you a wide range of Free Chips, and thus you would be spoilt for choices. It is very unlikely that you won't be able to discover something that would suit your need as the option of Free Chips is also available.
If you do not have fun with a particular game, you can switch to yet another one.
By the way, I strongly recommend checking our Facebook.

Reese Maabich, Grayling Continental Europe's Head of Digital Campaigns, on Attention Economy - our latest #6into18 trend.
Studies shows that the average consumer is exposed to up to 10,000 brand messages a day. 80% of visitors abandon a website in under 5 seconds (1).
Brands are using more and more channels to reach their customers so this number is growing very quickly and the game is constantly changing. I could easily list a bunch of facts related to the overabundance of information but you can find that easily on Internet.
Attention has become the currency that nourishes the exchange of communication and information: a type of sharing economy in and of itself. And like any economy, attention is subject to the law of supply and demand, and periods of heavy scarcity.
A consumer's attention belongs to nobody. Attention needs to be earned, hold and based on trust.
The real question, however, remains: how can brands best capture and hold the attention of a hyper-connected generation? How can one impart a brand feeling that comes across intuitively, or is even welcome?
The challenges are many.
The first challenge will be to provide the means to communicate in a personalized way, and also to contextualize it effectively.
It is not only necessary to know who we are talking to, but also to take into account the consumer's environment when we are talking to them. This can now be done in real time thanks to triangulation technology and predictive systems. The science of engagement should be your way to listen to data and capture contextual and behavioural data across social, mobile, web, email, video and other digital channels. The secret is to combine these data points with relevant 'offline' data and behaviour. This will allow you to deliver predictive content that responds to needs that consumers are not even yet aware of.
To promote intelligent and intuitive car technology, Audi launched a data-driven digital out of home campaign that brings the latest assistance technologies to life using traffic, time and weather data to trigger content that is contextually relevant at each location
However, do not drown in data. You need to set up the right strategy and methodology to filter through and gather the right data that will speak to your consumer, be adapted to the right channels, and be delivered at the right time.
The second challenge will be to go from advertising to recommendation.
Brands are slowly learning not to impose their messaging in simple advertisement form. Instead they must stand for something and build messaging consistency that reinforces the shared beliefs of your audience, becoming a brand that can always be counted on to deliver. It's not so important the particular marketing angle you take, but rather how closely people can identify with it.
In January 2016, premium gym Equinox launched Furthermore , an online magazine that offers a mix of lifestyle, fashion, technology, and travel stories; videos shoppable features, and third-party content curated by its editors. Readers can find information and recommendations on diverse topics, from the health benefits of massage to gluten free recipes to short original videos such as "The Zen of Flower Arranging" providing useful advice.
The big challenge will be to focus on the consumer experience- from A to Z.
Turning up the volume does not guarantee audience attention. Your content should work to connect with your audiences through fluid storytelling, generating experiential and also added sensory dimensions.
The more the content appeals to the viewers emotions, like humor, happiness, surprise, satisfaction, enjoyment, nostalgia and inclusion, the more likely that content will be shared with others and generate viral success. Exit out codes, in a hacker way - in the manner of BURGER KING with their Halloween 2017 'featuring' Ronald McDonald using the tagline 'Come as a clown, eat like a King' and a mashup of Stranger Things to introduce Halloween.
Burger King has been on fire with this out of the box campaign that have come at the expense of its competitor.
Brands have to reinvent themselves and agree to empower consumers over their brands. This is the only way to close the gap between capture, engagement and purchase. So, who is ready?
Get in touch with Reese for more information and contribute to the #6into18 conversation on twitter.

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Abandoning the corridors of power for a shop full of gleaming, supersized steel refrigerators and steam ovens, two U.S. lawmakers took their quixotic bid to overhaul the 70,000-page tax code on the road this week to rally public support outside Washington.
Democratic Senator Max Baucus and Republican Representative Dave Camp, who chair the congressional tax-writing committees, sought ideas on Monday from the owner of Mrs. G's, a 40- employee New Jersey appliance business.
There in Lawrenceville, and later at the Hub, a Philadelphia-based technology meeting space with about 50 workers, they spoke of arcane tax subjects from depreciation rules to accounting methods and how to make the tax code better.
"What are the most maddening, complex provisions that make you want to pull your hair out?" Baucus asked Debbie Schaeffer, 54, the president of Mrs. G's who led the two through a tour of appliances in the business she took over from her grandmother.
"We don't have enough time," Schaeffer's certified public account, Marguerite Mount, chimed in. She then noted the problems of defining small business reflected in section 263(a) of the tax code. "Defining small business and clarity on that would be huge."
The lawmakers' effort will shift into high gear after the congressional August break, when both Camp and Baucus are set to release long-awaited proposals to revamp everything from charitable contributions to business write-offs.
Camp and Baucus began a nationwide tour earlier this month to drum up support for the effort, which faces skepticism from party leaders and a fight from lobbyists aiming to protect the most lucrative and popular tax breaks.
Some fellow senators last week were critical of an effort by Baucus and Republican Senator Orrin Hatch to solicit specific ideas for rewriting a tax code that was last revamped 27 years ago.
"It's messy," Baucus said, acknowledging that it would not be easy to forge an agreement.
Both businesses the duo visited file tax reforms as pass-through entities - meaning the profits flow directly to the owners who are then taxed. Such business pay the same rate as the highest income taxpayers of 39.6 percent.
Neither of the owners complained about the rate, though they did grumble about benefits traditional corporations get, such as the ability to carry forward losses to reduce tax bills.
The interactions highlighted the challenges facing the effort, including getting taxpayers to identify tax provisions they now enjoy that they would be willing to give up for lower tax rates - the goal of the effort.
By way of example, Schaeffer could not name what deductions she would be willing to give up for a lower rate.
At the Hub, a business that rents out space to other businesses for holding corporate meetings, co-founder John New said he appreciated many aspects of the tax code, but the mind- numbing complexity eats away at time that could be better spent building his business, he said.
"Some of the things are built on a rational set of principles," New said. "But when it goes past page 2 or 3 (of instructions) it really goes into la-la land."
The tax code was last thoroughly revamped in 1986, when Republican President Ronald Reagan struck a deal to pass legislation backed by a Democratic House of Representatives and a Republican Senate.
In the years since, tax issues have dominated public and congressional debate and factored prominently in U.S. election campaigns, even as tax breaks expanded. Breaks range from mortgage interest deductions for homeowners to exceptions and special provisions for business.

Sounds like Jim is peeved because nobody is writing decent apps for his platform.
If there's one thing the masses (ie. non-geeks) want it is a pretty simple life. To pick up a device and use it. They don't want their phone to be radically different to their tablet, so why do Google, RIM and Microsoft not see that?
Linux netbooks were returned by many people confused or disappointed by them, why is a tablet with ChromeOS or the RIM QNX based system going to be any different?
At least with the iPad you know you're getting the OS the iPhone and iPod uses.

LONDON — The messages were handwritten, heartfelt and poignantly simple: "God bless, from Karen." "To all the lost loved ones. X from Ronnie." "Sorry!! Paul."
Bouquets of fresh flowers and cards scribbled with thoughts for the victims of London's worst attack since World War II began piling up Friday outside the Underground stations where the terrorists struck.
A mound of floral tributes, many bearing cards with touching sentiments, grew outside the entrance to King's Cross station, near the site of the worst of Thursday's subway bombings. Other bouquets were clipped to metal fencing around the subway station.
"All our love. Alice and family," one read.
"Yesterday we fled this great city, but today we are walking back into an even stronger, greater city," said another near St. Pancras Church, near where a bomb shredded a double-decker bus.
"The people who did this should know they have failed. They have picked the wrong city to pick on," it said. "London will go on."
Searching for loved ones
As victims' families tended to the injured and mourned the dead, relatives and friends of people who were missing spent another anxious day visiting hospitals and handing out photos, hoping their loved ones would turn up safe and unhurt.
Among them was David Webb, a 38-year-old teacher from southwest London who said his sister, Laura, 29, was last seen by her boyfriend as she left her North End home for work.
He and other family members spent hours going from hospital to hospital trying in vain to track her down.
"We are very upset about her disappearance, and all the options go through your mind," he said. "They include that she may be being cared for somewhere — or maybe she is still underground."
Nazmul Hasan, a trainee accountant, was desperate for news of his 20-year-old niece, Shahera Akther Islam. She was on one of the targeted subway lines on her way to her job at a bank and never showed up or returned home.
Calls to her cell phone were answered only by voice mail," Hasan said. "I am trying to stay as calm as I possibly can, but you only have to see her mother and father to see the pain this has caused."
At a Holiday Inn in London's Kensington district, a gracious waiter seemed almost taken aback when a reporter asked where to buy a newspaper. He offered to fetch it himself, then warned: "Are you sure you really want one? It's not pleasant today."
He left and returned with a copy of The Independent, staring for a moment at the photo of two people helping an older man out of wreckage.
"It's just horrible," he said, shaking his head. "Are you OK?"
Facing down fear
London's mayor praised the city's residents Friday for not panicking, and Gemma Nolan and Kelly Vennus typified the widespread stoicism on display in the face of horror.
Nolan, a 24-year-old receptionist, said the city that had to steel itself against years of Irish Republican Army bombings drew from a collective strength of spirit.
"It was very, very calm yesterday. The whole of London was chilled out," she said. "London's a very resilient city. It just bounces back from most things."
Vennus, 27, a teacher from Australia who's lived in London for three years, said she saw no sense of Londoners losing their nerve.
"I don't think you can live in fear because you haven't got a lot, personally, as an individual, a lot of control over what happens," she said. "So you've just got to live your life. And if you walk around in fear, that's what they want, don't they? They're trying to terrorize us, and they're winning if we stop doing what we want to do."
Acting on instinct
Newspapers hailed him as a hero, but former firefighter Paul Dadge insisted he was just acting on instinct when he gave first-aid to about half a dozen victims of the bombing between the King's Cross and Russell Square stations.
Photos of Dadge, 28, who now works for a telecommunications company, appeared Friday in many of London's dailies, showing him helping a burn victim.
Dadge said he was traveling by subway when his train suddenly stopped. He and other passengers exited the station, and when he surfaced, Dadge saw bloodied victims.
"I was trained in first-aid when I was in the fire service, but to be honest, I think it was instinct more than training that took over," he said. "I always seem to be in the wrong place at the right time.
Flood of condolences
Books of condolence were set up around the world, but one had a special resonance for Britons — the book in Belfast, Northern Ireland, rocked over the decades by sectarian violence.
"We faced 30 years of terrorist attacks across Northern Ireland with thousands of people losing their lives," Mayor Wallace Browne said.
"We therefore can empathize with the plight that the citizens of London now face," he said. "The greatest lesson learned was that despite sustained efforts from those wishing to inflict optimum mayhem, we must never falter."
Among the first to sign the book at Belfast's City Hall was David Blunkett, a former British home secretary.
"There is a certain poignancy to signing the book of condolence here in Belfast which has suffered so much through violence," he said.

In order for the plaintiff to take advantage of the relation-back provisions of K.S.A. 60-203(a), within 90 days after the petition is filed, the plaintiff must both move for an order granting a 30-day extension of the time for service and obtain the order granting the 30-day extension.

Before PIERRON, P.J., HILL, and McANANY, JJ.
McANANY, J.: James Tharp, individually and on behalf of the heirs of Jeanette Adams, and as the executor of her estate, appeals the district court's order of dismissal.
We affirm.
Jeanette Adams died on September 27, 1999, while under the medical care of defendants. Tharp filed suit against the defendants on September 26, 2001, alleging causes of action for negligence and breach of contract. On December 28, 2001 (86 days after suit was filed), Tharp moved for additional time to serve defendants. The court held a hearing on Tharp's motion in January 2002 (more than 90 days after suit was filed), and entered an order allowing Tharp an additional 30 days to serve defendants . The order was filed on January 11, 2002. Tharp then perfected service on defendants within 120 days after suit was filed.
In February 2002, Tharp voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice. He refiled the case on August 2, 2002, asserting the same causes of action as before. On October 25, 2002, Tharp again moved for an additional 30 days to serve defendants. The court granted the motion on November 1, 2002. All of the defendants were served within 120 days of the refiling of the case.
Defendants moved to dismiss the refiled action based upon the 2-year statute of limitations, K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-513. Tharp abandoned the contract claim. He argued that since the original tort action commenced upon filing (the defendants having been served within 120 days thereafter), the refiled action which was brought within the 6-month savings period of K.S.A. 60-518 similarly related back to the filing date of the original action. And since the original action was filed within the 2-year statute of limitations, the refiled action is not time-barred. The district court dismissed the action, concluding that since Tharp had not obtained an order extending the time for service within 90 days after filing the original action, the service dates for defendants did not relate back to the filing date. Consequently, the original action commenced after expiration of the statute of limitations, and the refiled action was likewise fatally flawed.
The question on appeal is whether K.S.A. 60-203(a) requires plaintiff to both file a motion and obtain an order extending the time for service within 90 days after filing suit in order for the commencement date of the action to relate back to the date the petition was filed. Interpretation of a statute is a question of law over which our review is de novo. Williamson v. City of Hays, 275 Kan. 300, Syl. ¶ 1, 64 P.3d 364 (2003).
K.S.A. 60-203 states:
"(a) A civil action is commenced at the time of: (1) Filing a petition with the clerk of the court, if service of process is obtained or the first publication is made for service by publication within 90 days after the petition is filed, except that the court may extend that time an additional 30 days upon a showing of good cause by the plaintiff; or (2) service of process or first publication, if service of process or first publication is not made within the time specified by provision (1)."
In Read v. Miller, 247 Kan. 557, 802 P.2d 528 (1990), plaintiff served defendant 115 days after filing suit and beyond the applicable statute of limitations. Then, within 120 days of filing, plaintiff moved for and obtained an order granting the 30-day extension provided for in K.S.A 60-203(a). The court dismissed the action, holding the action was time-barred since the commencement date of the action was when defendant was served, not the date the action was filed, and so plaintiff had failed to commence the action within the statute of limitations.
The plaintiff in Read invoked the provisions of K.S.A. 1989 Supp. 60-206(b)(2) which allow extensions of time upon a showing of excusable neglect. The court concluded that the specific provisions of 60-203(a) control over the more general provisions of 60-206(b). Further, after analyzing the meaning of the word "extend" as used in K.S.A. 60-203(a), the court stated, "once the 90-day period has expired, there is nothing to extend, and no period to prolong." 247 Kan. at 563. The court concluded:
"Based on the plain, unambiguous language of K.S.A. 60-203(a), and considering the existing case law rules and the lack of any legislative intent to the contrary, we hold that an extension of time under K.S.A. 60-203(a) must be sought and granted before the expiration of the 90-day period." 247 Kan. at 564.
Tharp seeks to distinguish his case from Read. He argues that while he did not obtain the 30-day extension order until more than 90 days after filing suit, he filed his motion within 90 days of filing suit. Further, he contends that he invoked the provisions of 60-206(b)(1) rather than 60-206(b)(2), which the court considered in Read.
The statutory distinction drawn by Tharp is, for purposes of this analysis, a distinction without a difference. The Supreme Court in Read determined that 60-203(a) controls over 60-206(b), and that there is no period to extend once the 90-day period has expired. While Tharp filed his motion within the 90-day period, he failed to both seek and obtain an extension within the 90-day period as mandated by Read.
Since the court's decision in Read, the legislature has revisited K.S.A. 60-203 on two occasions; and on each occasion it chose to leave the holding in Read undisturbed. See Garden City Educators' Ass'n v. Vance, 224 Kan. 732, 736, 585 P.2d 1057 (1978).
Consistent with the holding in Read, this court held in Cook v. Freeman, 16 Kan. App. 2d 555, 557-58, 825 P.2d 1185, rev. denied 250 Kan. 804 (1992), that in order to enjoy the relation-back provisions of the statute, not only must plaintiff make the motion for extension of time under K.S.A. 60-203(a), but also must obtain the order granting the motion, even if oral and not reduced to writing, within 90 days of filing suit.
Having failed to obtain from the court a 30-day extension within 90-days after filing suit, the date Tharp's suit commenced was the date upon which service was perfected. Since that occurred more than 2 years after the causes of action accrued, the tort claims asserted in Tharp's September 2001 suit were barred by the 2-year statute of limitations, K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-513; and his later refiling in August 2002 was to no avail.

Love the beauty of simplicity of archlinux, I'm finding a text expander excluding auto text which is not so light weight due to its dependencies. I've searched in our forum where I believe the home land of powerful and light weight command line tool but I didn't find any alternative. Is there any one like what i'm looking for exist
Thanks for reading
When you live for a strong purpose, then hard work isn't an option. It's a necessity. - Steve Pavlina
I believe winefish has autotext
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
There is autokey in AUR. However, I really feel sad about absence of much text expanders / automation tools like those in Windows, Shorthand, Phrase Express, etc.
What IS a text expander?
MisterAnderson, I had the same question and found this.
If that's what you (OP) are looking for, I can imagine a pretty simple xdotool script that could be bound to a chosen key combination. It would only have to do three or four things:
1) select from the current text cursor position backwards one 'word'
2) search a dictionary file for the text in the current selection
(3 opt) pop up a dialog (Xdialog, zenity, or dmenu would work) with the matches asking for a selection
4) simulate key presses for the remaining letters of the matched word

The Dolittle Family
I remember my father telling me of a man who worked for the Cobb County Rabies Control, aka Dog Catchers that could talk to dogs. If a wild dog was hiding and alluding authorities this man could go out in the brush, bushes, and trees where the dog was hiding and talk him into coming on in – give himself up, so to speak.
I suppose now he would be called the Dog Whisperer.
Or several years ago he would probably be nicknamed Doctor Dolittle.
Across the street the family talks to animals…. Well, that is nothing special, I suppose everybody talks to their pet, I know I do. But when they talk to their animals they expect a response of some kind.
A couple of weeks ago I heard the 17 year son holler for their dog to come back. He said something like, "You get yourself back here!!
You better come back before I count to three.
One… two…… "
He didn't finish counting, I think he realized that either he or the dog did not know the next number.
A few months ago up at Allatoona Lake the father saw that somebody was about to drown a bunch of baby kittens in a box. He rescued them and brought them home.
That is the good thing he did. He should have kept on his good roll and carry them to the Cobb County Humane Society Animal Shelter.
Instead, he let them out and let them wander away…now, they are all grown and all over the neighborhood. Two of them stayed with them.
This morning I saw the father bent over a white cat and shout, "How many times have I told you not to cross the street?"
Evidently, the cat was thinking and had not came up with a figure when the father shouted again, "How many times damn it!!"
I was curious myself what the cat was going to say, but I had things to do, I couldn't wait around to hear it.

Five quick things worth knowing/remembering on the first Tuesday of fall 2013:
#1 – As noted below, seats still remain for Thursday NC Policy Watch Crucial Conversation: "Worse than NAFTA: Lori Wallach explains the Trans-Pacific Partnership." Click here for more info and to register.
#2 – It's hurricane/sea level rise season, but don't think that's leading the folks running the state of North Carolina to do anything intentional or proactive to address it. Indeed, as journalist Kirk Ross reports over at the N.C. Coastal Federation website, the state Coastal Resources Commission has been gutted and is now "essentially out of business."
#3 – On the courts and law front, Senator Richard Burr is still doing his impression of The Invisible Man by blocking Senate consideration of federal District Court nominee Jennifer May-Parker for the long-vacant seat in North Carolina's Eastern District and then lacking the decency to even admit he's doing it or explain why. Court watchers at the Center for American Progress are urging folks to call Burr and demand action.
#4 – And speaking of "The Invisible Man," has there been a more delightful story in recent days than the overwhelming response to the book-banners in Randolph County for their knuckleheaded effort to ban the the Ralph Ellison classic? Barry Saunders of Raleigh's N&O did a great job ridiculing the book banners yesterday and now, today, we learn that the censorship effort has completely backfired.
#5 – And finally, for those looking to have America's health care crisis explained in fast-moving 7 minute video, check out this pretty doggone accurate effort by a fellow named John Green at the website Upworthy.

Five minutes, more than twenty years
We lived there once.
We moved in just a week before Megan was due, I brought her home from the hospital to the first house she ever knew. As she grew up, we walked through the town almost every day, crossing and re-crossing the foot-bridge over the railway, from east to west, past the library and the church, between school, shops and home. We picked blackberries in Jubilee Park when the weather was good, pick-and-mix in Woolworths when it was bad.
We learned about the Pett family as we played in their woods. I read the faded information boards, green with the moss and damp of the surrounding trees and told my children how the Pett dynasty had built ships for the royal navy. I was busy building my own dynasty then.
In Station Square, there used to be a gentlemen's outfitters. I remember peering into the carefully dressed window as I passed on my way to the bank or the chemist, it was full of tweed jackets, cashmere scarves, woollen socks. I never bought anything then, and I'm sorry about that now. Today it's a coffee shop.
Sitting in the window where the clothes once were, I stir my coffee and look out across the square. There's a huge pub called the Daylight Inn. It was named for William Willett, a campaigner for daylight saving. I know there's a memorial for him in the woods; a huge sundial. Just behind the Daylight there used to be a kitchen shop, with a small office above it, where I worked for twelve hours a week while Megan was at nursery. Cornwall Lord Chartered Accountants moved away long ago; but I still remember how I used to dash out of there at lunchtime to pick Megan up, I remember how she loved to cross the road to the bakers on the corner for a hot sausage roll.
Sunday - Sidcup
We lived there once.
I was nineteen when we moved in a month after getting married, and it was the first house I ever owned. In the nine years we lived there, I learnt to cook and clean, knit and sew; I worked out what it meant to be a wife and a mother.
Today, Megan is sitting in the car beside me as we drive into Sidcup. As we go past Queen Mary's hospital, where all my children were born, she chatters on incessantly; but I'm tense and tetchy with her, not really listening to anything she says. As we pass the roundabout, where I once thought she might arrive too soon, she reaches forward and turns up the volume on the CD player and just as we've done so many times before, we both start to sing.
A few minutes later, she points to a house up ahead "there it is - the one with the white fence." I turn into the driveway carefully, trying hard not to hit the gateposts, trying hard to sneak a look at the house.
Megan's friend Lara opens the door. She's smiling as she tells us to mind the wet floor "I've been cleaning for hours" she says proudly. We follow her into the kitchen, and admire the purple accessories - the toaster that matches the washing-up bowl and the cutlery, the purple leather bar-stools and the empty glass fruit bowl. Then she takes us on a tour of the rest of the house; the other rooms are big and bare. Upstairs we look at the bedrooms; I ask questions about where the furniture will go, I smile as she describes a small bedroom as a walk-in wardrobe.
We come to a third room "And this will be my room" says Megan. I picture the room she's left behind this morning, the bed piled high with black plastic sacks full of clothes and rubbish. I try to imagine what this room will look like in a month or two, when she's settled in here and forgotten to be tidy.
I don't stay long. They both come to the door to say goodbye. "come and see us as often as you want" says Lara generously. "Not too often" adds Megan.
I drive away slowly, not really thinking about where I'm going, along streets that were once familiar. It's only five minutes from the street we once lived in. Five minutes, more than twenty years.
I remember the excitement of moving into our first house in Sidcup, the pride of bringing Megan home to her first house in Petts Wood. I know today's a good day.
I just wish it hadn't come so soon.

I feel bad for parents, it must be an extremely difficult thing for your kids to move out.
I only know it from one side of the situation, maybe one day I'll have to see the other side.
Hopefully not too soon, though.
Nice piece! :)

I've been trying to do this, write what it means to watch them grow and become and be something somewhere outside of a world we constructed for them. Each time I've abandoned the attempt in tears.
You have done such a graceful job here. Thank you for sharing this.

Clearly your memory is very good at retaining details. I was pleased that you didn't get too melancholy, and fascinated at the tale of times that are a changing..

A particularly well written piece with nice picture prompts.

What a sad and beautiful story. It's interesting to see things from "the other perspective" - I can't imagine what my parents were going through when I "left" home (I left to university, officially I still live with my parents). Thanks for giving me the insight into parents world.

I wasn't at all sympathetic to my mother when I went off to college, or when I then decided to live hundreds of miles from my family. Then we drove my stepdaughter to college and cried a bit as we left. This is a beautiful rendering of those feelings, including the bit about being a little impatient with the one who's leaving.

Beautiful piece, Sharon. I love how you balance the past and the present, compare and contrast, and how you pull those little details out (the sausage roll, the railway bridge) that make these stories so real.
Megan is a credit to you and I am sure she'll miss you loads. No matter how old we get it's still our mums we want when we're feeling ill.

I don't read anywhere near as many blog posts as I should, but I read this twice. Everyone has said it already in one form or another, but I couldn't not pitch in and say that I loved this one too. I found it quite sad - that might be because I've stayed at your house you and spent time with you and Philip and Megan, and you have such a lovely easy chemistry as a small family unit. But it's natural (if unfortunate) that things change and phases end. In the meantime, if you ever want a visit from someone impossibly childish, consider me volunteered (until next February, at least).
I love your nonfiction writing. I would love to see you try and get some of it published this year.

It's shocking to read this, to be so far away still (or so it seems on this end if it) from my still small children growing up and out, and feel so heart-wrenched.
But I do. And I know I should be happy for your Megan to be settling into a new place so near an old and dear one, but I can't get past the momma she's no longer sharing quarters with.
Ugh, Sharon! So well-written that I need to pop upstairs and kiss a few sleeping foreheads.

I can imagine how it must feel to let go and watch kids grow. I know when I moved away to college for freshman year, I was terrified and cried, and on the way back, my parents and brother cried, too.
It's rough. I can only imagine what it will be like when and if my fiance and I move even further away one day.

They skillfully use their research and analytical skills to investigate educational issues and identify the most promising developmentally based practices to support student learning. They aim to inspire similar levels of engagement, critical thinking, and curiosity in their students.
They are adept at both discipline-based and interdisciplinary teaching methods, using emerging technologies, social interaction, and imagination to support students' achievement of rigorous academic standards. Understanding the connection between intellectual and emotional-social growth, they help their students gain self-knowledge and assume responsibility for their own learning.
They thoughtfully implement curriculum and assessments, drawing from a solid theoretical base to guide instruction and leadership decisions. They balance action with reflection to stay centered and purposeful in active environments, offering a role model for their students.
They provide their students with personalized learning opportunities in an environment that promotes cultural responsiveness, critical consciousness, and equity for all. They facilitate projects that engage their students in finding solutions to community-based problems and global issues.
They are equipped with the understandings, skills, and dispositions needed to participate in and lead learning communities. They anticipate and navigate professional, cultural, and technological shifts, modeling for their students and colleagues what it means to be flexible life-long learners.

Student Information
Work Experience
Work shadow or work experience, what's the difference?
Work Shadowing
An observational placement only. You literally 'shadow' a person in the area/business you are interested in. This can be useful in all sectors but can be especially relevant for learners who need to build up self-confidence first.
Work Experience
You will be able to do some of the work in your chosen area. Although there may be some tasks you won't be able to do, you will get hands-on experience of a variety of tasks.
Both types of placements can be combined. You may like to start a placement with some work shadowing, but then begin to gain hands-on experience as you build in confidence.
You will understand more about the skills needed for
- different jobs in order to make a more informed choice about your career options.
- You will gain a greater understanding of how businesses operate.
- You will develop self-confidence.
- Doing work experience looks great on your CV.
- You may decide that a specific employment sector is not for you, meaning you can focus on other areas and possibly do another placement.
Employability skills you will learn
- How to communicate and interact with various groups of people.
- How to work as part of a team.
- Problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
- Literacy and numeracy skills.
- Time-management and organisational skills.
- Business and customer awareness.
- Confidence and independence.

Did you know that "chronic disease accounts for roughly 75 percent of healthcare costs each year," according to the Power of Prevention, a program and policy perspective in the Department of Health and Human Services' Steps to a Healthier U.S. program? It also states that more than 125 million North Americans live with chronic conditions.
As fitness professionals, how can you help people prevent, manage and slow disease progression? One way is to heighten public awareness of the impact that a healthier lifestyle has on specific health risks and conditions. Essentially, you can become a healthy marketer with a healthier bottom line.
Choosing the Right Campaigns
To create successful health-based programs, you must first assess and identify your community's needs and decide which audience to target.
Find out how many people in your community have an elevated risk for or suffer from health conditions and where they live. Check with your local department on aging, area agency on aging, social service agency or planning agency for this information.
Discover which organizations exist for people with these conditions and where they meet. Ask community leaders about the best ways to reach your target audience.
Check into existing health promotion programs. Contact your health department, area agency on aging, hospital and/or clinic, voluntary health organizations and professionals.
Does your primary audience have any of the following characteristics? Are they people with health issues related to your campaign, i.e. heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension; adults aged 50 or above; or individuals with a particular income level? Your secondary audience includes those who can influence those at risk, such as healthcare professionals, therapists, family members, caregivers, coworkers, friends and community organizations.
After you've identified your community's needs and determined your target audiences, consider forming partnerships with other associations and organizations to avoid duplication of effort.
Partnerships expand the resources and avenues available to reach your target audiences. But before you create or seek partnerships, first identify what resources your program needs (e.g. facilities, staff, contacts, training in programming and assessments, and funding). Here are some potential partners:
Approach local businesses, social service and nonprofit organizations, civic and volunteer groups, associations or fraternities and sororities for assistance. These groups may donate funds, provide volunteers or offer in-kind services (i.e. printing).
Solicit help from local chapters of national organizations that support health observances. These national health observances gain massive visibility and provide facilities with opportunities to build weekly or monthly campaigns.
Form a committee to get your facility started. Choose those committed to helping that can provide expertise.
Other possible partners include prominent businesses at which your program is a fit with their health education for employees; religious institutions, which traditionally provide community service, volunteers and access to elusive populations; senior centers, senior meal sites, meals-on wheels programs and college campus programs for seniors; other health professionals, such as family physicians and nurses, at workplaces or through professional associations; HMOs and community hospitals through their departments of patient education and public relations; and hospital auxiliary groups.
Activities for Outreach
Connect with your target audience through places they shop, work, worship, socialize, obtain healthcare and access information. To raise awareness of your program, you can hang posters and display or distribute brochures. And by coordinating community and media activities, you can gain avenues for increasing public awareness of your program.
Once you've accomplished these steps, make sure you step back and evaluate how your program is working. Done periodically, this review helps you identify and address problems before they become major ones, plus monitor schedules and budgets. Finally, when you evaluate your program, you allow staff, volunteers and the community to see what you've accomplished, which helps in maintaining your program's momentum and providing healthy rewards for your facility.
Colin Milner is chief executive officer of the International Council on Active Aging™. An award-winning writer, Milner has authored more than 100 articles on aging-related issues. He can be reached at email@example.com.

UA Midway Stadium 9
108-22 Queens Boulevard,
Forest Hills,
19 people favorited this theater
Located in the Forest Hills section of Queens. The RKO Midway Theatre (named for the famous Battle of Midway) was opened on September 24, 1942 with Monty Woolley in "The Pied Piper" and Lloyd Nolan in "Just Off Broadway". It had a seating capacity for 2,002 in orchestra and balcony levels and was designed by Thomas W. Lamb Associates, which included S. Charles Lee. It was sold as single screen theatre in June 1997 to the Heskel Group. The total purchase price, which included the nearby Forest Hills Theatre, was $9 million.
The theater was closed two months later and completely renovated into a nine-screen multiplex. Following a year of construction, the Midway Theatre reopened as the UA Midway 9 and is now one of Queens' best performing movie theaters.
Sadly, the theater's original interior appearance was mostly lost during the conversion, but its exterior remains a familiar Queens Boulevard landmark.

when the midway closed in 1997 it was a quad (two downstairs and two upstairs). the only thing remains from the original is the staircase and screen 5 and 9 is the original balcony

Are you kidding me, $13.50 non matinee showings. I think this is even more expensive than Manhattan.
Saw a lot of great movies here.
Looks like there's a new owner who bought the building for $20.5 million and is looking to develop the property. http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130918/forest-hills/investors-who-bought-midway-theater-building-hint-at-redevelopment
I apologize for this comments length. I feel it important, though, for prior young male U.A. workers in the 70's-80's (for whom I worked at multiple locations at for near a decade). Esp. for people associated w/the Forest Hills Theatre, Midway or Continentals then.
Although, it is considered ill mannered to speak poorly of the departed, some cases are worthy of that breach of etiquette. Such is the case with 70's-80's long tenured N.Y.C. 5 boro U.A. Division Manager (whom I'll refer to here as the cinematic molester 'Freddie Krueger'). Regretfully this testimony may bring pain to "Krueger's" relatives or social circle. That is sincerely not my goal. However, forthrightness & a scarred memory compels me to speak. On the surface "Krueger" was a pious, "religious" man. Twice married with kids. Underneath that veneer, he was a serial sexual predator. His prey was often teen or young adult male ushers, male candy staff or young male managerial staff.
As the sad multiple priest scandals & the Jerry Sandusky Penn State scandal show…the cliché that you can not trust a book by it's cover is sometimes true. Such was the case here. Or actually it was not. Because "Krueger" was always vulgar, lewd & obvious to most people. His victims today show-the pain, anger or whatever residual feelings there may be that never go away completely. I am sad for all the young people who were affected by this vile, real life 'Freddie Krueger'.'
Some were willing participants drawn by his tenured power, more were coerced or pressured. I was one person who said no adamantly. I knew one manager who said yes and unfortunately filled me in on the ugly, gory details as if he were proud of his 'happening' w/'Krueger' which happened in the candy stockroom of the (still opened today)U.A. twin theatre on Austin street in the late 80s.
It's fair to ask, am I telling the truth. I can only answer that one Saturday late morning in '87 (I think), while summoned to "Freddie's" D.M. office in the Forest Hills Midway at the time, before the theatre was open, he made his move on me. And to this day I still wish I didn't have the knowledge of knowing that "Krueger" was uncircumcised. He dropped his trousers mentioning his hernia. Exposing everything to a shocked me. That was his way of "enticing" me in his warped mind. Later, I thought how dumb & naive of me to show up when the theatre was closed. Never made that mistake again. He often held bible meetings for young men in Forest Hills when he became a mgr. Of course these sessions were in the morning when the theatre was closed.
It was wonderful, when the "Krueger" dynasty finally came to an end in the late 80's. He was unprepared/unable to handle the oncoming great expansion into the multiplex and computer era. A new, very smart, & fair D.M. replaced "Keueger" who was demoted to being a mgr. to a Forest Hills triplex then. Free from the yoke of being 'blacklisted' for not sexually complying to "Krueger", I was free to advance on my merits alone finally. Within the first few weeks of the new D.M's run, I was suddenly promoted. Surprised not. A year later, I confided to the new D.M. at his new office in the Sheepshead Bay multiplex, the horror of "Krueger's" crude advances and comments to me. It was then that the long term D.M. secretary (and a former mgr. herself) there had also clued in the new D.M. of "Krueger's" true nature & validated my words. He was just speechless. Although then, quite young, I'm happy to have been, at that moment, brave enough to be honest and not suppress the ugly truth. At that time, in the late '80's, that kind of abuse sadly was just not brought up. Victims feared that they would be the guilty or labeled ones. That they had done something wrong to bring about such behavior from their sexual aggressor.
Happily now, more and more, kids and teens are encouraged and more important BELIEVED when something aberrant like this happens. And I say to any young people seeing this post who are unfortunately in any similar bad situation-say something. Please don't suffer. You will be listened to & helped by the right services/people. In the mid to late '90's, ravaged by ill health from excessive smoking, "Krueger" became a doorman at the Midway in the weekday afternoons. In '97, when going to see a film there, he still made a crude statement to me when I came across him. Sad. This old man at the ticket stand in the garish colored clown costume tops U.A. made their employees wear in place of the old style jacket & bowtie unis of the past. He had always been a scary looking man with his dark tinted glasses and his hard, haggard, very wizened face with the phlegm while talking. Old age rendered him even more creepy looking. From D.M. to doorman. Near him & the ticket stand was a small oxygen tank. Outside the theatre was his outdated even in the '80's, old, big & ugly dark blue Oldsmobile Delta 88 car that I used to see roll into theatres when he was D.M. Am I harsh. Cruel. Yes. But if it was you or you had a child, relative or someone you knew that was affronted by a sexual predator how would you feel. His latent homosexuality isn't the issue here. I want to absolutely stress that. It doesn't matter. There is enough bigotry of that in the world. There is nothing wrong with that. It's that he forced, coerced or enticed so many innocent, impressionable teens & young men that forever lingers with me. And that one regrettable Saturday when I was ambushed. I said no. I am sorry for those that felt pressured/accosted to say yes.
I also found myself alone with Freddie Krueger in his off at the Midway theater one afternoon in the early 80's.Somehow the conversation worked its way around to his hernia. Before I realized what was happening he had his pants unzipped and grabbed my hand so I could feel his lump through his white briefs. I remember pulling away, cursing at him and wanting to punch him in the face . However, I couldn't do it even as he dared me to do something.
He never attempted something like this with me again but the inappropriate comments and questions never did stop. He would ask how often I got laid/jerked off, what positions I liked and if I could have more than one orgasm at a time.
Other co-workers repeated similar comments being made toward them. I never heard first hand of anyone being physically abused. Older employees, especially projectionists used to tell Freddie Krueger stories and jokes regularly.
How did UA not know of his behavior?
His wife worked as his secretary for a while, until she had their son. How did she not know? Or hear the rumors?
As Division Manager his territory covered the 5 boroughs and maybe 15 to 20 theaters. He had access to many young teenage males. It must have seemed like one big playground to him.
No one ever drew the courage to punch him out like I wish I had?
Shame on you Freddie.
No matinees on the weekend. $13.25 for afternoon showings on the weekend, $10.25 during the week, outrageous.
Upy, I'm sorry for your similar experience. Perhaps, I should've posted earlier on this but I tend to be a progressive rather than regressive person. I was also hesitant to expose such a past, unseemly event of what is generally a wonderful and admirable profession. But certain things should to be brought to light because it may help with future thought and care for young people to engage in this or any other career or hobby. Happily in today's world this ill is being exposed, sanctioned and dealt with more authoritative effort, efficiency and most importantly-belief of those affected.
Tonight will mark the 76th anniversary of the grand opening of the Midway Theatre, which was jointly funded by the RKO and Skouras circuits and debuted under RKO management. Ad displayed here

Transit-time ultrasonic flow meters
Sierra Instruments has announced the introduction of their transit-time ultrasonic flow meters. The lineup now includes improved next generation Innova-Sonic 205i and portable 210i models.
The Innova-Sonic 205i is a clamp-on instrument incorporating the latest developments in digital signal processing to offer accuracy and repeatability for a wide variety of liquids. The Innova-Sonic 210i portable clamp-on ultrasonic meter has received a complete repackaging into a lightweight, hand-held configuration including new brighter display and pushbuttons.
The design of the Innova-Sonic 203 focuses on the measurement of water flows in HVAC, irrigation, and other water applications. Ideal for pipes up to 48" in diameter, the 203 is accurate to +/-1.0% of reading, repeatability to +/-0.3% of reading and a temperature range of 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C).
The 203 offers low power consumption, an easy to read display and clear, user-friendly menu selections make using the instrument simple and convenient. It can be configured via keypad without any additional programming devices.
For the Innova-Sonic 205i, accuracy improves to +/-0.5% of reading, repeatability to +/-0.15% of reading, and pipe capacity increases to 200". Shortcut buttons have been added to the main interface for flow, totalized flow, velocity, fluid, signal and diagnostics to make set up and data collection even easier. New high temperature clamp-on and insertion options have been added, making the unit more flexible. PCA's inside the meter have been modularized, enabling field swap out for easy repairs or upgrades.
The 205i also features a large alpha-numeric display, parallel operation of positive, negative and net flow totalizers (with user-selectable scale factors), and configurable pulse frequency, and analog outputs plus relay and open collector outputs. SD data logging capability is included and energy monitoring is fully supported for both heating and cooling applications.
The portable 210i provides a powerful and extremely user-friendly programming menu that includes instantaneous flow rate, positive total, negative total, net total, velocity, date and time, and daily flow results. Its 1GB SD memory card is for high capacity data logging while a rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports continuous operation for a minimum of 16 hours. The 210i comes standard with a pelican carrying case, non-invasive clamp-on transducers installed into compact mounting racks (magnetic and cable mount), coupling compound and a start-up CD. The meter set up time is less than five minutes.
