How to Track and Review Changes in Microsoft Word 2007

Word 2007
Tracking and reviewing changes to a document is a helpful task for those who need to work within a team and need to act upon the recommendations or suggestions by others. So in this article we are going to explore how to track the changes and how the author can review them.
How to Track and Review Changes in MS Word 2007
At some point when you are creating documents in Word you may need to team up with others. For instance you have created a newsletter and you want some input from others regarding the content and layout or you have finished drafting an article and you need the editor to go through the document recommend any additions or changes to the document. In such scenarios it is important to be able to track any changes and allow the original author of the document to accept or reject the recommended changes.
Track Changes
While looking over into the document it is easy to just go ahead and make changes to the document. But the author of the document who gets this back would not know exactly where you made the changes. In fact the author may not even like your recommended changes. So you should make it easy for the author.
To help you understand this better consider yourself as the one who has received the document for assessment and you have to check and give your feedback to the author. To begin tracking changes you first need to Open the document you want to get through > move to the 'Review' tab on the ribbon > in the 'Tracking' group you have some options including the 'Track Changes'. Since there is a drop down, there are some more options to it like:
Track Changes: This option allows us to begin with tracking the changes to the document.
Change Tracking Options…: Change Tracking Options allows you to set display settings for any changes made to the document so that the changes stand out in the document, for the author to make out. These settings include Markup – Insertions, Deletions, Changed Lines and Comments. You set Formats like Underline is default for Insertions and you can change it to Double underline or bold. Display color can also be set from here. Similarly there are settings for Moves, Table cell highlighting, Formatting and Balloons.
Change User Name: If you are editing the document it is a good practice that you put your user name and initials as the person who is editing it. So if you need to enter these details click on this option. You may not need to change anything if you are using your own machine and not sharing it with anybody. When you click on this, you would be prompted with the 'Word Options' dialog box and 'Popular' word options are displayed. The section you require to modify is 'Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office'. Enter the User Name and Initials.
Now that the options are all set, you can proceed with the track changes. Put on the Track Changes feature by clicking on Track Changes button and then select Track Changes from the drop down, in the Tracking section under View tab on the ribbon. The button gets highlighted indicating that now on any changes made to the document would be tracked.
If you hover over your mouse on the changes that are made in the document, details are displayed such as who made the changes along with the date and time at which the change was incorporated in the document.
Inserting a Comment
To insert a comment go to the 'Review' tab on the ribbon, in the 'Comments' section select 'New Comment'. This inserts a comment balloon in the document at your current cursor position.
So you have to position your cursor exactly where you want the comment to be inserted. As you can see, the comment balloon is on the right hand side of the document, the bracket displays the initials of the modifier followed by the serial number of comment. This helps the author know who has made the comment if many people are collaborating on one document. You can enter your query or any text in this balloon. This comment will always be visible in the document. So the author can choose to make the change if he wishes when the document is sent back.
You can continue reviewing the document similarly and save all the changes and comments you have made in the document before sending it back to the author.
Review Changes and Comments
When you are the author of the document and you have sent it to your fellow members for any changes and feedback, you then either accept or reject those changes when the document comes back to you.
Now you would play the role of the author and review the document.
Open the document that has come back from your colleague who has made a few changes to your document. From the appearance of the text you would be able to make out where modifications are made. You can choose to review your document either on your own by scanning the whole document and then accept or reject the changes by clicking on them or you can let Microsoft Word find them and move you from one change to the next and then you can decide if the changes need to be accepted.
Go to the Review tab on the ribbon and select the Track Changes button and turn back the Track Changes option on. Next to this section you can find the 'Changes' section which allows you to Accept, Reject and move between the various changes.
'Accept' button has a drop down with various options to choose according to your need. To accept the current change and move to the next change recommended select Accept and Move to Next. To accept the change and stop there select Accept Change and if you wish to accept all the changes at once select Accept All Changes in Document.
Similar options are available for 'Reject' changes.
Accept or Reject Comments
Comments are not actual changes in the documents; they are some text displayed in balloons. You can act upon the comments by making certain changes in your document. After you have made the necessary modifications in the document, accept the changes by clicking on Accept Change or Accept and Move to Next. Then delete the comment as you wouldn't want your final document with any comments in it. To delete the comment, click Delete from the Comments section in Review tab on the ribbon or right click to find option Delete Comment. You can also traverse through the other comments with the help of 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons in the same section.
Review a summary of tracked changes
This feature can be used to make sure that all the comments are removed from the document, so that anybody else who reads the document doesn't find any comments in it. To review this summary, select Reviewing Pane from the Tracking section on View tab. You can view the reviewing pane vertically or horizontally on the page by selecting Reviewing Pane Vertical or Reviewing Pane Horizontal from the drop down menu of Reviewing Pane.
To view the number of each type of change, click 'Show Detailed Summary'.
Review changes by type of change or by a specific reviewer
To review changes by the type of edit:
On the Review tab, in the Tracking section click on the arrow next to Show Markup.
Clear all check boxes except for the ones next to the types of changes that you want to review.
To review changes by a specific reviewer:
In the same section click on the arrow next to Show Markup, point to Reviewers, and then clear all the check marks except for the ones next to the names of the reviewers whose changes you wish to review. To select or clear the check marks for all reviewers in the list, click All Reviewers.
Display for Review:
You can choose how to view the proposed changes to the document. For this feature select the arrow next to Final Showing Markup which is the default setting in the Tracking section on the Review tab. Final Showing Markup shows what changes have been proposed. Final setting shows the document with all proposed changes included; and Original shows the document before any changes were made.
In this article we learnt how to track and review changes made to a document which would help you working with Microsoft Word 2007 in a team. I hope this article was useful and I thank you for viewing it.

Classic Soap Fan
MOST UNUSUAL SHORT LIFE MARY DUVALL, SANTA BARBARA When we first met Mary, she was an innocent nun. Her future seemed bright and full of promise. Then, without warning, Mary was on a roller-coaster ride to meet her maker. Ever the good girl, Mary sacrificed her happiness with true love, Mason Capwell, to marry her high school sweetheart, Dr. Mark McCormack (after leaving the convent, of course). Eventually, she became an adulteress when she could no longer resist that tempestuous Mason. She intended to have her marriage to Mark annulled but he raped her and she became pregnant. Mary met her demise on the roof of the Capwell Hotel, (where she and Mark were arguing), when the "C" from the Capwell sign fell on her. What a way to go. |

Leicester were never in the running during the opening 45 minutes and deservedly trailed to Chris Sutton's 34th-minute header, his seventh goal in 13 matches. But a tactical master-stroke by O'Neill saw him switch Ian Marshall out of defence into an attacking role, a move which paid off 12 minutes from time when the former Oldham and Ipswich player snatched the equaliser.
However, O'Neill is becoming a little fed up with his side's topsy turvy form: "We were desperately poor in the first half. When we went a goal behind I think the players were hoping the referee might call the game off because of the fog."
Meanwhile Tony Parkes, Blackburn's caretaker manager, shed a little more light on the subject of who is to replace him. "I don't think we are too far away now from the board naming their new man," he said. "They and Jack Walker are working very hard to get someone in.
"There have been a lot of rumours flying around. Someone even mentioned Joe Kinnear to me today. But I don't think that will happen. My belief is that it will be somebody outside Britain. I think that is where they are looking."
Goals: Sutton (34) 0-1; Marshall (78) 1-1.
Leicester City: Keller; Grayson, Izzet, Watts, Prior, Marshall, Lennon, Taylor, Parker (Kamark, 70), Claridge, Heskey. Substitutes not used: Lawrence, Hill, Campbell, Poole (gk).
Blackburn Rovers: Flowers; Kenna, Sherwood, Hendry, Le Saux, Gallacher, Wilcox, Sutton, McKinlay, Berg, Flitcroft (Bohinen, 25). Substitutes not used: Marker, Gudmundsson, Donis, Given (gk).
Referee: M Riley (Leeds).
Booked: Blackburn Le Saux.

1998 Toyota Supra

1998 Toyota Supra Review
A Ferrari killer at a value price.
Reviewed by Automotive on
The 1998 Toyota Supra is a combination of excellent performance, luxury, and comfort. Upon climbing into the cabin and cranking it up, it becomes apparent that the purpose is driving. It has the choice of a twin-cam that offers 225 horsepower or a twin-turbo that increases the horsepower by 95. It's available with a four-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. The automatic has an electronically-controlled manual shift mode that allows faster shifting than when letting the unit shift on its own.
The 1998 Toyota Supra was introduced in 1993 along with fierce competition, such as the Nissan 300ZX and the Lexus SC. There is plenty of buzz about the 1998 version. It has an alluring body style, but an incongruous front end. Its distinct appearance definitely gets plenty of attention when it's on the road or even when its parked.
The Range
Engines: 3.0-liter six-cylinder
Transmissions: four-speed automatic, six-speed manual
Models: Toyota Supra
What's New
The 1998 Toyota Supra adds to the already-spirited inline-six engine with Intelligent Variable Valve Timing technology. This has improved the horsepower and torque numbers.
The 1998 Toyota Supra is beautifully designed for the most part. However, the front end has a sort of wild-eyed appearance. The headlights resemble bulging eyes, and there is a large air intake below the front bumper, which resembles a wide toothless grin. The rear end has a huge fascia and a high rear spoiler. The exterior measurements of this vehicle are 71.3 inches wide, 49.8 inches tall, and 17.8 inches long. The wheelbase measures 100.4 inches wheelbase, and it has a curb weight of 3256 pounds. Standard exterior features include alloy wheels measuring 16 inches, fog lights, and power heated mirrors. Also standard is a rear spoiler and a remote trunk release.
The 1998 Toyota Supra has two doors and four seats. However, the rear seats are more suited for groceries or other cargo than for passengers. It has an impressive list of standard features, including cloth bucket seats, a center console, leather trim on the shift knob and steering wheel, and an AM/FM CD audio system. Convenience features include a power and tilt steering wheel, air-conditioning with automatic climate control, rear window defrost, and power windows and doors. Optional features are a power driver's seat, a compact disc changer, keyless entry, and leather seating.
Performance & Handling
The 1998 Toyota Supra has a top speed of 155 mph and can do a zero-to-60-mph sprint in a little over five seconds. The problem is there are limited roads where it can be legally pushed to its maximum potential. After all, the word ""supra"" means to go beyond or surpass.
The 1998 Toyota Supra includes safety equipment, such as an anti-theft alarm system, a four-wheel anti-lock braking system, driver and passenger front airbags, and fog lights.

by Michele S. Byers, executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation
Humans weren't the only ones shaken up when Superstorm Sandy tore through New Jersey last fall. Wind, waves and storm surge re-sculpted much of the state's coastline, with potentially disastrous consequences for two of our state's iconic critters: horseshoe crabs and the Red Knot sandpipers whose lives depend on them.
The Red Knot is the ultra-marathoner of shore birds, migrating each spring from one end of the Earth to the other, from its winter home in Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America to its summer breeding grounds in the North American Arctic. The most crucial stop in this incredible journey is a layover in New Jersey's Delaware Bayshore to gorge on eggs laid by horseshoe crabs.
Sandy damaged many of the best crab nesting beaches along the Bayshore, pushing sand into high dunes on the salt marshes and exposing mudflats, vegetative mats of marsh plant roots, and age-old debris from abandoned fishing shacks. According to New Jersey Conservation biologist Dr. Emile DeVito, horseshoe crab nesting sites will likely be in short supply this spring.
Talk about bad timing! The state Senate and Assembly just introduced bills to lift the moratorium on the harvest of horseshoe crabs for bait. Bleeding of horseshoe crabs for lysate, an important pharmaceutical need, is allowed, but many of those crabs also die upon return to the bay. According to Dr. DeVito, understanding the scientific evidence gathered on the near-extinct Red Knot might help our legislators and citizens realize exactly what's at stake:
For 25 years, New Jersey's Endangered and Non-Game Species Program has coordinated a crackerjack team of shorebird scientists. They have painstakingly documented exactly what migratory sandpipers, especially Red Knots, need from New Jersey so they can arrive on their Arctic breeding grounds in healthy condition. And it all boils down to New Jersey's Delaware Bayshore!
When Red Knots arrive at the Delaware Bay in late May, they must feast on excess horseshoe crab eggs. The only way to have excess eggs is by having super-abundant horseshoe crabs. When crabs are abundant, successive waves of females come ashore to nest, accidentally digging up other females' nests from previous high tides.
Red Knots eat excess crab eggs that are dying, floating at the edges of the waves and on top of the sand – not the viable eggs that are safely buried five inches deep.
As recently as the 1980s, female horseshoe crabs would pile up on one another, jockeying for nesting spaces and digging up hundreds of millions of eggs! Then along came the bait industry, and the Delaware Bay horseshoe crab population plummeted. A harvest moratorium was instituted by the state in 2006 to recover this ecological phenomenon before Red Knots become extinct.
When enough crab eggs are available, Red Knots nearly double their body weight in a couple of weeks, so that when they arrive in the still-frozen Arctic, they produce and incubate eggs using the fat supply garnered in Delaware Bay. When the Arctic spring gushes forth a few weeks later, Red Knot eggs hatch with perfect timing for the healthy chicks to feast on plentiful insects. But without enough crab eggs in Delaware Bay, the Red Knot nests fail in the Arctic!
The data is irrefutable. Red Knot populations are teetering on the brink of extinction. There are so few birds that males and females may even have trouble finding one another when they arrive in the vast Arctic! Few juveniles have been seen on their wintering grounds in Argentina, indicating that the adult population of Red Knots is aging and not being replaced.
Horseshoe crabs nesting sites on Delaware Bay beaches remain spotty and insufficient, providing few dependable feeding areas for Red Knots. Egg counts are down, since too few female crabs are laying eggs.
So it's no exaggeration to say this is the WORST time to lift the moratorium on harvesting horseshoe crabs. With Superstorm Sandy changing the crab nesting landscape, our horseshoe crab population needs a chance to recover … in turn giving the Red Knot a fighting chance for survival.
"Now is not the time to repeal this important statute," agrees Eric Stiles, president of the New Jersey Audubon Society.
"The horseshoe crab is an amazing species for many reasons, not the least of which is as a significant economic driver in our state," adds Stiles. "The crab is a vital link in the chain which ends with a robust eco-tourism economy, upon which this state depends. The crab has been around for 450 million years and in a matter of a few short decades, we've decimated the population."
The bills in the Legislature to lift the horseshoe crab harvest moratorium are not based on science. Let's hope these bills are withdrawn, so Delaware Bay crabs will be spared from the bait market this spring!

The deal is done. Both chambers of Congress have now voted, and President Obama has signed an unprecedented bill into law to avert the immediate catastrophe of a government default. But the country will be living with the consequences of this deal for decades to come.
By agreeing to unprecedented spending cuts without additional revenues - not even modest tax increases on the wealthiest billionaires and corporations - lawmakers have set in motion a series of events that are almost certain to result in devastating cuts to the safety net programs that protect the most vulnerable women and families. On the chopping block in the months ahead: essential programs like Head Start, medical research into breast cancer and other deadly diseases, implementation of health reform, family planning, child care, nursing home care, nutrition assistance, education, housing and countless other programs that support Americans who need help the most.
These safety-net programs have long defined our core values as a nation. At stake in the decisions that lie just ahead is the future of the middle class, the economic security of families - and what we stand for as a country.
We all get sick, get old, lose jobs, and hit hard times. Government's role in helping during those rough patches - with health care and other basic supports - is now uncertain. So where does America go from here?
Tea Party values are not America's values, and lawmakers must restore the priorities that Americans support - and re-establish the federal agenda this country deserves.
The U.S. House of Representatives will vote soon on the health care repeal bill — the American Health Care Act — so we must stand strong and stop them in their tracks.
Tell Congress to protect our care.

Total employment growth in Colorado in November was flat according to the Household Survey and showed some growth in the payroll totals. In Colorado, total employment in Colorado was down 123,000 from the July 2008 peak. Employment trends in various regions of the state differ, however, so this article looks at which regions of the state have the highest unemployment rates, and which regions have recovered the most in their labor markets.
Regional employment trends can also provide us with some insights into local housing demand since, all things being equal, those areas with the most robust labor demand will also have the strongest demand for housing. This would be reflected in apartment vacancy rates and in median home price and home sales transactions, among other indicators.
The first graph compares unemployment rates in Colorado's metro areas.
The regional unemployment rates (not seasonally adjusted) for November 2012 are:
Colorado Springs, 8.8%
Denver-Aurora, 7.4%
Fort Collins-Loveland, 6.0%
Grand Junction, 8.4%
Greeley, 8.2%
Pueblo, 10.1%
Statewide, 7.5%
The unemployment rate was flat or decreased in all metro areas except Colorado Springs and Pueblo from November 2011 to November 2012. In Colorado Springs, the unemployment rates increased from 8.6 percent to 8.8 percent over the period, and in Pueblo, the rate increased from 9.6 percent to 10.1 percent in Pueblo. The unemployment rate was flat, year over year, in Denver-Aurora and Grand Junction.
To provide some additional context, we can look to see how far below total employment levels are below the most recent peak in employment in each region. The peak time differs in each region. For example, the labor market peaked in mid-2007 in the Colorado Springs area, but it did not peak until late 2008 in the Grand Junction area.
The following numbers reflect how far below the most recent peak are the November 2012 employment totals:
Colorado Springs MSA, 8.6%
Denver-Aurora MSA, 3.5%
Fort Collins-Loveland MSA, 2.3%
Grand Junction MSA, 9.1%
Greeley MSA 4.1%
Pueblo MSA, 2.1%
Statewide, 4.6%
All things being equal, the areas further below the peak have recovered the least from initial job losses. The noticeable exception is Pueblo where total employment is nearly back to peak levels, but the unemployment rate is being kept up by a growing labor force that is unable to find employment. Most other regions are experiencing very little growth in labor force, or even declines. See here for more on Pueblo.
Grand Junction is further below peak levels than all other metros, including Colorado Springs, although both those metros have consistently well below peak levels in recent months. We see here also that the Ft. Collins-Loveland area has one of the strongest markets, with Greeley also moving toward peak levels. Northern Colorado continues to show signs of significant job growth.
(Note: If we include the Boulder-Longmont MSA, we find that the Boulder area has consistently been among the areas with the lowest unemployment rate. In November 2012, the rate in the Boulder-Longmont area was 5.7%.)

Official Title ICMJE | Normothermic Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) For An Improved Assessment of Donor Lungs For Transplantation | |||
Brief Summary | The use of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) will allow for a secondary evaluation technique for donor lungs that fail to meet standard acceptability criteria. This advanced assessment might lead to increased utilization rates of donor lungs and improved outcomes after lung transplantation. | |||
Detailed Description | Human donor lungs that do not meet the standard clinical criteria for donor lung utilization but fit into the study inclusion criteria will be retrieved from the donor using current donor lung retrieval techniques. These lungs will be brought to the study transplant center to be re-assessed by the transplant team. The lungs will be physiologically assessed during ex vivo perfusion with Steen Solution. Perfusion of these lungs will be performed using Steen solution with the addition of methylprednisolone, heparin and antibiotics. With respect to the decision of lung utilization those organs with a delta pO2 (Δ pO2 = Pulmonary vein pO2 - pulmonary artery pO2) during ex vivo perfusion assessment > 350mmHg, good lung compliance, and a favorable opinion of the transplant surgeon will be considered transplantable. Lungs will be excluded for transplantation: if the Δ pO2 is less than 350mmHg or if they demonstrate >10% deterioration in any of the following functional parameters: pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), dynamic compliance or airway pressures. Lungs will also be excluded if they are deemed unsuitable based on the clinical judgment of the lung transplant surgeon. |

NOOSE Headquarters
Redirected from Los Santos Government Facility
this wiki
The NOOSE Headquarters (also called the Los Santos Government Facility) is the main operating base and offices for the National Office of Security Enforcement in Grand Theft Auto V.
It is located deep in the Palomino Highlands within the eastern coast of San Andreas. The headquarters is located east of the city of Los Santos and southeast of the Land Act Reservoir. It is accessible by an exit on Route 15 and its main entrance is located on Sustancia Road. The NOOSE headquarters are based on the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.
The NOOSE headquarters consists of two levels of security checkpoints at the entrance leading to the main buildings. The facility is primarily composed of three buildings: Record Database Center Server Banks, Record Database Center Processing Zone A, and Record Database Center Processing Zone B. None of the three buildings are player accessible.
The facility also has a large parking lot overlooking the highway and a delivery and storage area which contains several smaller buildings of unknown name or purpose. The facility is prominently guarded, including an initial gatehouse off on Sustancia Road and a second gatehouse closer to the main campus; however, in spite of all the guards, the player can still access and explore the area without a wanted level. Beyond guards, the area is populated by other individuals, most likely employees.
Events of GTA V
During The Bureau Raid, if Roof Entry is chosen, then Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton will arrive to the NOOSE Headquarters to meet up with the rest of the heist crew. After they go inside to gear up, the team will arrive to the helipad where a Maverick is parked, which is used to help them skydive into the FIB Headquarters.

SWALEC Cup - Sunday, 18 April
Llanelli v Cardiff at St Helen's, Swansea (2.30pm)
In those days the once capped Welsh outside half was just finding his feet in the big time and had helped Cardiff race into a 28-9 half-time lead. But tries from Rupert Moon and Nigel Davies got the Scarlets back into the fight and it was touch-and-go moving into the final quarter.
Jarvis, who kicked 16 points on that sun-drenched afternoon, recalled what happened to complete the win for Cardiff ahead of this weekend's semi-final clash with Llanelli to determine who moves forward to the 2010 SWALEC Cup final at the Millennium Stadium.
"It was a good day back in 1997, although it hardly seems like 13 years ago. It took a brilliant solo try from Rob Howley to secure the win that took us into the final against Swansea," recalled Jarvis, who these days is player-coach at the Arms Park.
"Rob raced 80 metres up the touchline to score the try and complete his semi-final hat-trick. It gave us a 36-26 win in the end and meant we were able to go on and play in the last game ast the old Cardiff Arms park before they pulled it down to create the Millennium Stadium.
"Hemi Taylor was the Cardiff captain in those days and we had players like Mike Hall, Gwyn Jones, Derwyn Jones, Nigel Walker and even Jonathan Davies in the squad. It was all a bit different then to now.
"Even so, this weekend's semi-final is also going to be a massive occasion for the two clubs and all the old rivalries will still be there. There is a big prize to play for.
"We've got a good mix of youth and experience with the likes of ex-Welsh internationals Craig Morgan and Jamie Ringer - another player who featured for Cardiff in 97 - in the squad alongside Wales Under 20 caps like James Loxton .
"We've got two teams who like to play a bit of rugby and we'll be going into this game with a different game plan to our last league encounter, when they won comfortably. The players had a strong talking to this week and we know that defensively we have to be right on the mark.
"But all the pressure is on Llanelli, who have been in five finals since 2000. We've got nothing to lose, should be all to go out and enjoy ourselves and hope the result takes care of itself."
Llanelli were 42-24 winners in the league at the Arms Park in their last match in a game that produced eight tries - five from the visitors. That will be uppermost in their minds as they go into Sunday's second semi-final (2.30pm kick-off).
One of Jarvis' former clubs, Pontypridd, will meet Carmarthen Quins in the other semi-final at the Brewery Field, Bridgend on Saturday (2.30pm kick-off). Wales Sevens coach Paul John's Ponty side beat the Quins 42-27 in a 10 try thriller at Sardis Road in the league earlier this week, but were beaten in Carmarthen in September.
The carrot for the Quins is to reach their first SWALEC Cup final, while Ponty are chasing their eighth.
Teams: Carmarthen Quins: A Rees; R Carter, A Banfield, T Davies (capt), J Davies; Gareth Cull, Sililo Martens; A Beaujean, R Wilkes, K Jones, G Evans, M Morgan, A Thomas, E Lloyd, S Timami
Replacements: Math Monaghan, Craig Kelly, Simon Gardiner, Wayne Williams, Gareth Williams, Ricky Richards, James Garland

Photographer's Note
This picture was taken in Palau.
There is no country created for it in TE. I really dont know why ??? Micronesia is the closest to it..
Some of us are freezing in coldy winter, other are enjoying of the beginning of the summer... That's the beauty of our earth....
Marcel Proust:
"The only true voyage, the only Fountain of Youth, would be found not in traveling to strange lands but in having different eyes, in seeing the universe with the eyes of another person, of a hundred others, and seeing the hundred universes each of them sees, which each of them is."

The colors are sooo beautiful, and the man helps to understand the scale of the picture.
But wouldn't have it been better with the separation sky/sea a bit more "horizontal" ?

Classics/ Greek Drama ISBN:
Translated by Ian Johnston
The Suppliant Women
(also called Suppliant Maidens or Suppliants) by Aeschylus is the first
(or possibly the second) in a three-play sequence based on the
well-known story of the daughters of Danaus, the Danaids, who fled from
their home in Egypt and sailed to Argos to escape from having to marry
their cousins. The other plays in the trilogy have been lost, except for
fragments. Largely for stylistic reasons (particularly the predominant
role of the Chorus) Suppliant Women
was long thought to be the oldest play in our
traditions, but recent evidence has revealed that it is, in fact, one of
Aeschylus' late plays (first performed c. 470 BC). The arrival of the Danaids and their father in
Argos and their request, in the name of the gods, for a refuge from
their male cousins, who have aggressively pursued them, create serious
political and moral problems for the king of Argos. What claim do these
foreign petitioners have on his protection? Should he run the risk of
war in order to uphold his religious obligations? What role do the
people of Argos have in making that decision? Do these women have a
legal right to refuse to get married? The play brings these issues—as
relevant today as in ancient Greece—dramatically alive without providing
any easy resolution. Ian Johnston's new translation of a notoriously
difficult Greek text provides a fluent English version of this ancient
play, well suited for reading, recitation, or performance.

. . "YOU MUSTN'T READ FROM THE BOOK!" Or so they would have you believe in the movies. Not true, these books needed to be read by any ancient Egyptian interested in an afterlife
by Dr. Faulkner Raymond, Ogden Goelet, Eva Von Dassow
Published by Chronicle Books
Paperback - 174 pagesPrice: $19.96 Michael G. Smith
. This book is an outstanding translation and presentation of the books that make up the Papyrus of Ani. Faulkner is far superior to Budge, and this book proves it out. In addition to the beautiful pictures and fine translations, the commentaries in the back, along with the explanations of the vignettes contained in the papyrus are well worth the money. A must for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt and their culture.
by E. A. Wallis Budge
Published by Grammercy
Hardcover - 704 pagesPrice: $12.99 Richard Deurer
. The translation is considered to be outdated and inaccurate. However, no list of books about this papyrus is complete without Budge on it. This book started my interest in all things Egyptian.
Awakening Osiris : The Egyptian Book of the Dead
by Normandi Ellis (Translator), Gary Robertson (Illustrator), Robert Kelley
Published by Phanes
Paperback - 227 pagesPrice: $11.96 momteacher
. A pleasant departure from the word-for-word translations so often presented. The author takes poetic license with the text, and turns out a work all the better for it. It is admirable in style. I have several translations of the Book of the Dead, including Dr. Raymond Faulkner's translation (which is also quite poetic), but this one was too lyrically beautiful to resist.
How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs :
A Step-By-Step Guide to Teach Yourself
by Mark Collier, Bill Manley, Richard Parkinson (Illustrator)
Published by University of California Press
Hardcover - 192 pagesPrice: $19.76 Amazon.com
. You need no previous experience reading hieroglyphs to benefit from this book. This is a hieroglyphs guide for the layperson, tourist, or museum enthusiast who'd like to have more of a clue when it comes to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs. Focusing on the funerary symbols one would be likely to see in Egypt or at a museum, and illustrated with hieroglyphs that are on display in the British Museum (drawn by Richard Parkinson, curator in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum), How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs makes possible a deeper appreciation not just of museum displays but of the Egyptian culture that used this writing system.
Egyptian Grammar

Published by Aris & Phillips
Hardcover - 646 pagesPrice: $62.00 Enzo Calabresi
. A book any scholar knows and any interested one should know. It's a milestone not only in the study of Egyptian language,but in modern philology. Maybe the style is old looking, but good language is understandable, no matter when it was written.

A Hieroglyphic Guide to Ancient Egyptian Painting and Sculpture
by Richard H. Wilkinson
Published by Thames and Hudson
Paperback - 224 pagesPrice: $13.56 Brian V Hunt
. Wilkinson is a professor at the University of Arizona (or was) and I believe may still be directing that institution's work in the Valley of the Kings. As he points out in this volume, one of the things often missed in regards to Egyptian art is that it is intended to be "read". Even paintings and objects in the round are often constructed using hieroglyphs. The author gives a well written, organized overview of the rudiments of learning to see into Egyptian art more of what the artist intended the viewer to see. Very nicely illustrated with an excellent selection of examples.

We're coming up on the one year anniversary since the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
Since then, a number of people in our community at CBE have come together to advocate and lobby for tougher gun laws in New York City and across the country. We write letters, make phone calls, and show up at rallies.
It's never enough until the work is done, until fewer guns are out there, but we keep on pushing as hard as we can.
Yesterday, a number of us set up outside of PS 321 in Park Slope and gathered signatures asking Governor Cuomo to ensure that CAP Laws--Child Access Prevention--are added to legislation in New York State. This legislation has been shown to serve as an important deterrent to gun owners in that it levies severe fines when children get access to these powerful weapons.
Here's what we asked people to sign:
Dear Governor Cuomo, Senator Gillibrand, Senator Schumer,
On January 15, 2013, The NY SAFE Act (New York Secure Ammunition and
Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013) was passed by a bipartisan state legislature
and signed into law by Governor Cuomo. The NY SAFE Act gives New Yorkers
some of the strongest protections against gun violence in the nation. We are
grateful for the concern and action taken by our legislature and are proud that
New York was the first state to strengthen its gun safety laws in the aftermath of
the Sandy Hook massacre.
Omitted from the new law, however, was a "Child Access Prevention" (CAP)
law. CAP laws are intended to prevent firearm injuries to children by limiting their
access to guns. CAP laws make gun owners criminally liable if they negligently
leave guns accessible to children or otherwise allow children to obtain firearms.
The strongest CAP laws set criminal penalties for owners who do not store
firearms properly so that children cannot easily access them unsupervised.
Other CAP laws simply prohibit someone from directly providing a gun to a
minor. More than half the states in the nation have enacted CAP legislation, but
there is currently no Child Access Prevention law in New York State.
CAP laws are needed because too many children live in homes with access to
guns. A Daily News story in July 2013 listed 40 children who had accidentally
shot themselves or another child in the past 6 months. Studies show that poor
gun storage is directly correlated to accidental gun-related death and injury.
The more we do to keep guns from children, the more we can prevent such
accidental violence.
I am a member of the Congregation Beth Elohim community in Brooklyn, New
York. The synagogue has a history of leadership in social action and in curbing
gun violence. I, the undersigned, urge you to take action and approve CAP
legislation. New York State is a leader in gun safety legislation. Let us also
be a leader in protecting our children from guns. New York Assembly bull A-
03941, the Children's Weapon Accident Prevention Act, proposed last year, was
designed to enact CAP laws in New York State. We urge you to support this or
similar legislation. As stated in the Book of Psalms, "Our children are a gift from
On December 12th I'll be at City Hall with New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, led by my friend and fierce advocate, Leah Gunn Barrett. I hope you can join us.
We will also be continuing to pressure Stephen Feinberg, CEO of Cerberus Capital, whose company owns more than $900 million worth of gun manufacturers in this country, to fulfill a promise he made after Sandy Hook to DIVEST from that ownership in Freedom Group. Here are the remarks I made in September that will simply be updated for the one-year anniversary of this tragic and senseless event in Connecticut.
I hope you'll join us in the weeks ahead for this important fight.

Homeowners who have had mortgage debt forgiven after a foreclosure, modification, or short sale may be able to exclude the canceled debt from their taxable income if they meet specific criteria.
According to Gil Charney, principal analyst at The Tax Institute at H&R Block, the specific criteria to have forgiven debt excluded are the debt must have been incurred to buy, build or substantially improve the residence, called "acquisition debt, and the property must be the taxpayer's primary residence.
Also, the exclusion applies only to acquisition debt up to $2 million, or $1 million for married taxpayers filing separately, and cancelled mortgage debt not used to buy, build, or improve a principal residence is not eligible for the exclusion, but may be excludable under a different provision, such as bankruptcy or insolvency, Charney added.
Under the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007, the provision is for debt forgiven between 2007 and 2012.
For those considering a short sale…
Other types of deductions
- Mortgage Interest Deduction – taxpayers are eligible to deduct qualified mortgage interest on their main home and a second home if they itemize deductions on Schedule A…
- Real Estate Taxes – homeowners are able to deduct real estate taxes separately from mortgage interest on Schedule A and from property taxes
- Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit (expired at the end of 2011) – taxpayers may claim energy-efficiency credits for up to 10 percent of the cost of various home energy-efficiency improvements
- Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit – a nonrefundable personal credit is available for property used to produce energy in a personal residence located in the U.S…

text: This Amphibious Tank-Yacht Might Save Your Life One DayAaron Foley2/13/14 3:38pmFiled to: Gibbs HumdingaAmphibious CarsOutside 8 MileDetroit325EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink I'm all for a local success story, so this is pretty big. Gibbs Amphitrucks, a small manufacturer in Auburn Hills, is partnering with a Singaporean manufacturer to mass-produce Humdingas, a half-car, half-boat used for emergency transport and disaster relief. But they look amazing, and we can't wait to drive one for ourselves. Advertisement You might know Gibbs if you are into the tiny but lucrative market of amphibious vehicles: Wheelers that are just as capable on land as they are in the water. Gibbs' most popular product, the BMW-powered Quadski, was just featured on the most recent "Top Gear"UK racing an Alfa Romeo 4C.A few years back, Gibbs unleashed its Humdinga prototype, a bulky behemoth resembling more of a speedboat than a jetski. Its aim, other than another toy for those who've got the money, is for rescue operations. And Southeast Asia is just the market for this expansion. Advertisement With occasional tsunamis, earthquakes and other natural disasters ravaging Asian countries, Gibbs will license its Humdinga technology to Singapore Technologies Kinetics, which will produce a run of the vehicles for 12 years. The Humdinga is powered by a 300hp turbo diesel that pushes it up to 30 mph on land and water. It's not terribly fast, but it's the only such vehicle able to travel faster than 9 mph on water. Gibbs also has developed its own power-takeoff unit that keeps revs going on both land and water.The jets are lighter than traditional boat jets and the hull is lighter to accommodate the retractable wheels when the Humdinga goes waterbound. The hull is also raised higher for land ground clearance, but have special grooving that make it easier to turn in water. STK is exploring whether a carbon-fiber hull can be used in the Asian production vehicles. Sponsored Since there are only a small number of amphibious manufacturers, Graham Jenkins, the company's spokesperson, welcomes any competition — or would like bigger mainstream automakers to explore the amphibious market. They haven't done so, he says, because it's a gamble."They're fairly risk-averse, and they have been for a fairly long time," he says. "They do take some risks and some challenges and some things, but essentially what we're asking for is this technology can do is a massive change to the capabilities to their products. And because it's so new, there's no proven market to this." There are only handful of pre-production Humdingas in existence, Jenkins says, so the Humdingas going into production in Asia will be the first of many production agreements. Gibbs hasn't said with whom, but all those deals are still being hammered out. Advertisement Gibbs also makes the Phibian rescue vehicle, but the Humdinga proved to be more popular with investors. Neither of those might be as readily available for your garage or dock, but the Quadski is coming to more dealers soon, as Gibbs will expand its dealer network over the next year.Once the weather breaks, we'll try get behind the wheel of one. Stay tuned.Reply32 repliesLeave a reply

Have questions about this product?
Here is the EQ 23L bag next to my trusty Ogio bag. Small but packing heat.
Fill 'er up!
Getting ready for a trip to Sun Valley, ID. You can just keep loading this bag up and it never seems to get full. I packed my Fiveten dirtbag shoes, Bern Morrison helmet, 2 pairs of shorts, 3 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of gloves, 2 shirts, kneepads, and my sunglasses. I was amazed that I was able to get it all in there but it sure made it a lot easier to keep all of my gear together.
23L of gear hauling glory.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was looking for a small bag that I could put my bike gear in for those longer trips to keep everything together and the Dakine EQ 23L bag is perfect for that.
What I love about this bag is that it is all about simplicity. Just one giant pocket is all you need. This way you don't spend you time trying to find where you put your gloves or which pocket has your extra socks. A handle on the top, two handles on the sides and a nice shoulder strap make it easy to grab this bag from any side for that quick getaway.
Before this I have only owned Dakine backpacks, which absolutely rock, so I was glad to see that they put the same thought and quality into their bags.
The townsend color looks like the color pictured and the Dakine logos add a cool touch. As a small bag, there isn't really much to say about it, but if you are looking for small bag, like something with 23L or 1400cu Inches, this is probably the best bag you will find for the price.

saltwaterbrown patina by the ocean?

Tuesday, May 6, 2008 - 12:57pm
bronze | corrosion | saltwater | stainless steel Hi all, An architect asked for some suggestions for a project by the pacific ocean. He wants to clad(decoratively) parts of a high rise with a metal with a mottled brown(bronze) patina. I know that there are some stainless steels that do well around the salty air environment, but can you patina it to look like bronze? How about other materials like aluminum, copper, or actually bronze? Would they hold up in that environment? Once up access will be very limited and they will be outdoors. |

Clothing retailer Next lifted its full-year profit hopes today after warm weather and the royal wedding bank holiday encouraged customers to spend.
The high street giant, which has suffered from mediocre sales since a dismal Christmas season, said consumers brought forward summer purchases and helped lift total sales by 5.2% in the 13 weeks to April 30.
However, Next, which has more than 500 stores in the UK and Ireland, warned it did expect the current levels of growth to continue into the second quarter and remained cautious as consumer spending is squeezed.
The company said it now expected pre-tax profits for the full year to be between £535 million and £585 million, around £15 million ahead of the guidance given in March and above market expectations.
Next, and the wider retail sector, has been hit by a slowdown in consumer spending this year, as the VAT hike from 17.5% to 20% and soaring input costs squeeze household incomes.
In the company's last update in March, Next chief executive Simon Wolfson warned: "Things are likely to get worse before they get better."
But the picture has improved for the retailer as online sales soared 14.8% and retail increased by 0.9%, all excluding VAT.
The company said sales were driven by better ranges and improved stock availability, particularly in womenswear.
Next Directory - its online outlet - has benefited from more aggressive marketing and improved delivery services, the company added.
It now expects combined retail and online sales to be up by between 1% and 4% for the full year, up on the guidance issued in March.
Looking ahead, however, Next remains cautious.
The company said: "The combined effects of the public sector deficit cuts and continued inflation in essential commodities are all likely to restrain growth in consumer spending generally."
Next said it continued to expect price increases to be marginally higher in the second half than in the first, at around 8%.
Matthew McEachran, retail sector analyst at Singer Capital Markets, said Next turned in a "much better performance than expected" in the first quarter.
He said: "Although some of this is pulled forward from the second quarter, and although they remain cautious about the backdrop, the guidance for sales and profit has edged up and will add around 2% to market forecasts.
"Overall this is an excellent outcome, and the shares should edge up today, but investors should not confuse this with a sign that the consumer environment has changed."
Next said it had "consciously avoided" direct reference to like-for-like sales in today's update because as a measure for underlying consumer spending it is distorted by VAT and online sales. The company said like-for-like sales could have ranged between minus 3% and plus 5.4%.

chris.campbell Feb 4, 2011 5:47 PM (in response to Tibor Szasz)Hi Tibor,
I suspect this is probably as designed, but I've forwarded this post along to our Webkit/Javascript team for their review.
2. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
Tibor Szasz Feb 5, 2011 1:33 PM (in response to Tibor Szasz)Thanks!
I'm experimenting right now with displaying the downloaded image data in a Data URI, it seems to be the only way to load external image onto HTML Canvas.
It works finally!
I used the as3base64 library to convert the image data into base64 string:
img.src = 'data:image/png;base64,' + runtime.com.dynamicflash.util.Base64.encodeByteArray( bytes );
Altough I assume too that the "dom expection: 18" is occuring intentionally, loading an image shouldn't be this hard. It wasn't even possible in Air 2.0, since it didn't supported Data URI format.
It may come handy in cases like this to give a resource in a non-application sandbox an application sandbox right, like I can do it with the Sandbox bridge.

chris.campbell Feb 8, 2011 1:36 PM (in response to Tibor Szasz)Hi Tibor,
Thanks for following up with the solution that worked for you!
4. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
Tibor Szasz Oct 9, 2011 9:06 AM (in response to chris.campbell)Hello Chris,
Well, my solution is broken in AIR3. I really don't understand why Adobe did "fix" this. How should I load an external image to a html canvas?
Please suggest me something.
5. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
Tibor Szasz Oct 11, 2011 5:30 AM (in response to Tibor Szasz)Nevermind, got it working again.
6. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
nrako Feb 15, 2012 4:33 AM (in response to Tibor Szasz)Hi Tibor,
I'm facing the exact same problem, could you please tell me how yot it working?
7. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
nrako Feb 15, 2012 7:38 AM (in response to nrako)Are you able to use canvas.toDataURL() method to retrieve the base64 code when there is base64 images used to render the canvas? I'm able to render the canvas within base64 image but then I can't retrieve the base64 data of the canvas itself with the toDataURL() method, instead it throw the same exception dom security error 18...
It seems like a bug for me, but I dont knows whose fault it is? img base64 data can be rendered but then the canvas can't anymore return base64 data? not very logical
8. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
Alma M. Mar 12, 2012 7:53 AM (in response to Tibor Szasz)After spending hours fighting this problem, I finally wrote a simple app to test the security allowances of the Canvas element in AIR. It appears that you cannot use getImageData() or toDataURL() (because both are a method to get the pixel data out of a canvas) if the canvas has something drawn on it from anywhere but the ApplicationStorage directory. The ApplicationStorageDirectory and base64 encoded images both cause the same security error.
This is extremely frustrating as the ApplicationStorage directory is read-only to the application itself. In my case I have a little camera utility that will take pictures with my webcam, and I want to apply some filters and effects to a Canvas element that has some of these photos drawn to it. In order to accomplish this, I currently have the webcam utility (which is run via the NativeProcess class) saving files to the ApplicationStorage directory so I can manipulate them afterward. This is less than ideal because the ApplicationStorage directory is not meant to be the dumping ground for files created or maintained while the app is running (hence it being read-only).
So please, please, please, pass this along so someone who might be able to help adjust the Webkit implementation of the Canvas element to allow either base64 encoded data or images stored in the ApplicationStorageDirectory to be drawn to and manipulated (including getImageData() and toDataURL()) on a canvas.
9. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
chris.campbell Mar 12, 2012 3:05 PM (in response to Alma M.)Alma,
Would you mind putting that info into a new bug/feature request over at bugbase.adobe.com? If so, please post back with the URL so that others that encounter the same limitation can vote for your report. Getting enough people to show interest will give this the best shot at being addressed.
10. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
Alma M. Mar 12, 2012 4:18 PM (in response to Tibor Szasz)Thanks Chris.
See my bug report:
Please vote it up if you would like to see this fixed.
11. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
Tibor Szasz Mar 12, 2012 5:21 PM (in response to Tibor Szasz)Hello,
I simply did the following:
var loader = new air.Loader();
...in the callback function:
var bitmapData = loader.content.bitmapData;
bitmapData.getPixels( bitmapData.rect );
And then iterated through the pixels. The downside of this is that this method is really slow if you work with large images. By large I mean 800x600. I was lucky because I only needed to manipulate a small image on the canvas element.
12. Re: HTML Canvas security error in AIR
j_hall_79 Apr 10, 2012 5:24 PM (in response to Tibor Szasz)I'm trying to get this to work too. Would you be able to provide the complete code that you were able to get to work? Thanks..

Tiivistelmä: | Background
A functional link has been established between the severe neurodegenerative disorder Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy and the enhanced propensity of the plasma protein transthyretin (TTR) to form aggregates in patients with single point mutations in the TTR gene. Previous work has led to the establishment of an experimental model based on transgenic expression of normal or mutant forms of human TTR in Drosophila flies. Remarkably, the severity of the phenotype was greater in flies that expressed a single copy than with two copies of the mutated gene. Methodology/Principal Findings In this study, we analyze the distribution of normal and mutant TTR in transgenic flies, and the ultrastructure of TTR-positive tissues to clarify if aggregates and/or amyloid filaments are formed. We report the formation of intracellular aggregates of 20 nm spherules and amyloid filaments in thoracic adipose tissue and in brain glia, two tissues that do not express the transgene. The formation of aggregates of nanospherules increased with age and was more considerable in flies with two copies of mutated TTR. Treatment of human neuronal cells with protein extracts prepared from TTR flies of different age showed that the extracts from older flies were less toxic than those from younger flies. Conclusions/Significance These findings suggest that the uptake of TTR from the circulation and its subsequent segregation into cytoplasmic quasi-crystalline arrays of nanospherules is part of a mechanism that neutralizes the toxic effect of TTR. |
