the Fatherland Front organization throughout the communist era. Its membership was restricted to 120,000. Its leaders acknowledged the leading role of the Communist party in Bulgarian society and willingly supported the party's policies. Most leaders of the Agrarian Union henceforth received political training in the Communist party's ideological schools. They were permitted to retain some local units of their party and were even given 100 deputies in parliament out of 400. A member of the Agrarian Union was appointed deputy to premier Todor Zhivkov (see Zhivkov, Todor) in the 1960s.
In 1974, the Agrarian Union's leaders declared that they had transformed their organization into an educational institution.

Assassinations and Drug Trafficking. It has been suspected for a long time--as the recently opened East German and Hungarian secret archives proved--that the secret services of the Soviet satellites often acted as surrogates for the Soviet KGB in sponsoring international terrorism, espionage, and drug trafficking against the Western states. For instance, Hungary provided a safe haven for the notorious terrorist gang of Carlos in the mid-1980s.
Bulgaria's role in these clandestine activities was also suspected although never proved beyond a reasonable doubt. What threw some light on these activities was the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981 by Mehmet Ali Agca, who claimed that he was prompted by Bulgarian nationals stationed in Rome. The investigation, however, never succeeded in proving the Bulgarian connection, although some sources have recently claimed that this was indeed the case.
With the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, a trickle of documents have appeared. However, the Bulgarian files on Agca had disappeared, together with the chief of Bulgarian secret police, who ended up in Moscow. There is little doubt, however, that the Bulgarian secret service was directly involved in other clandestine activities. In October 1978, the Soviet KGB provided the Bulgarians, at the personal request of Todor Zhivkov (see Zhivkov, Todor), poison for the murder of Georgy Markov. Markov, a Bulgarian exile working for the BBC radio in London, had excellent sources within Bulgaria and often broadcast revelations of corruption. Evidently, he was so much detested by the party leaders that he was marked for assassination. Markov was killed in London by a poison pellet that was injected into his leg by a specially modified umbrella.
Another assassination attempt was made against Vladimir Kostov, an opponent of the communist Bulgarian regime, who lived at that time in Paris. This attempt, how-

Old Farmhouse Spirits
This ghost photo was sent by Neti of email@example.com.
Neti said, "Hi Dave, Well here is a picture of the circa 1900-1920 farmhouse we investigated last night. Let me start by saying it is pitch dark in these attic rooms that have been converted into children's bedrooms. I took this picture right after ghost bait (aka Margaret) and I felt a strong breeze blow on us along with the distinct smell of pipe tobacco."

The human rights situation of Bangladesh is going to be reviewed by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on May 14, 2018 through its Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism.
UPR is a significant process which involves a review of the human rights records of all United Nations member states. This provides the opportunity for each state to declare what actions they have taken to improve the human rights situation in their countries and also to fulfill their human rights obligations.
Under the UPR process, the state under review submits its national report, and civil society organisations (CSOs) have the opportunity to submit alternative reports, which is called "stakeholders' submission" and the UN agencies also make their inputs.
It is true that like any other mechanism of the UN, the UPR has several inherent limitations. It is a state-driven process facilitated by UN, which is an organisation of the states. The other big limitation is that CSOs cannot take part directly in the review process; rather they have to lobby with other member states to raise the concerns on their behalf and put forward recommendations that contribute to the betterment of the human rights situation on the ground. But there remain a few challenges.
First, the governments in power accuse civil society of complaining to foreigners and thus tarnishing the image of the country to the rest of the world. Sometimes they may go as far as to call the CSOs "unpatriotic" or "traitors". Governments forget that criticising or standing against the policies or actions of the government in power is not the same as opposing the state or compromising the independence of the state. They should recall that on many occasions they talk to foreign government officials and often complain about political parties in opposition.
The second challenge is that no state wants to be too critical about the human rights situation of another state as its own human rights records are not always very clean. Hence they lack moral strength and remain careful so that they don't face similar criticisms in return. Also, most of the time, their position is a calculated one; bilateral relationship with the state under review is considered which, in turn, is determined by economic and geopolitical interests. Moreover, there are always "friendly" states which praise and pat the back of the state under review.
The third and main challenge is that governments take this kind of exercise merely as a process to comply with as there is no strong monitoring of the implementation of their commitments. They know very well that there will be much ado around the review process and then everyone will forget about it until the next review comes after five years. To some extent, many governments in fact love to keep their CSOs engaged with such state-driven processes which eats up the time, resources and energy of the CSOs.
Now the question is, how can the civil society tackle these challenges and overcome the limitations of the process?
Firstly, CSOs should make it clear that UPR is not just a review done in the Human Rights Council in Geneva, but is the result of a long-term process. For example, during Bangladesh's second cycle review held on April 29, 2013, Bangladesh received 196 recommendations of which Bangladesh accepted 164. Now we should ask: Was there any concrete process undertaken by the government to detail out a plan of action to implement and realise the accepted recommendations? Was any measurable step taken by the National Human Rights Commission, which is supposed to play the bridge-building role between the rights-holders and duty bearers? Has any shadow plan been developed and pushed by CSOs?
We should also inquire, when the government of Bangladesh prepared their report for the third cycle, did they do a stocktaking of the implementation of the recommendations of the previous cycle and highlight it with measurable indicators in their recent state report?
According to the resolution A/HRC/RES/5/1 of the UN Human Rights Council, in order to write a national report to be submitted to the Human Rights Council for the review, the state under review is "encouraged" to hold a "broad consultation process at the national level with all relevant stakeholders." Idealists say that these consultations should take place at least a year before the review in different cities and parts of the country and include a broad range of CSOs such as national institutions, NGOs, human rights defenders, local associations, grassroots organisations, trade unions, indigenous people, etc.
The third cycle state report of Bangladesh stated that the government of Bangladesh held multiple consultations with the government ministries, departments, agencies and CSOs in the process of drafting this report. However, members of civil society informed that on February 7, 2018, a day before the submission of the state party report, the government invited selective CSOs for a consultation meeting where no draft was shared but a PowerPoint presentation was given. The report was not shared with CSOs or with media even after submission and till date it has not been made available in any government website.
The state report also claimed that a midterm review was held in November 2015 to follow up on the progress towards implementation of the recommendations. However, members of civil society said that they are not aware of any such midterm review conducted by the government; no such document is available at any government or OHCHR websites; CSOs were not consulted for any midterm review.
Were these things adequately highlighted by the NHRC or the media?
This UPR process is also a test for states to measure how sincere they are in upholding the values of human rights and its principle of universality. Their recommendations should be driven by their respect for human rights, not by other interests related to bilateral relations. By making strong recommendations, other states do not just help to improve the human rights situation in Bangladesh, but also fulfill their responsibility to uphold the universal values of human rights to which they are committed.
As members of the civil society, we should also make this process as grounded as possible, not leaving it as a Geneva-driven process. For that, we should ensure that the media in particular closely monitors and covers the review process—not only what is happening in Geneva on May 14, but also the reporting process and other activities of the state, the NHRC and the civil society.
Hopefully, members of civil society are well aware of all this and have a plan to make the best use of this process. We will have to remember that states have learned a lot from the previous cycles. It is time for us too, to show how much we have learned.

American Beauty (1999)
A movie that raises the question of what would Willie Loman be like if he were a stoner? Laser cutting dark depiction of late 20th century suburban America. A skin crawling examination of life as we know it. Star Studded winner of Best Picture,Actor,Screenplay,Director and Cinematography Oscar. Before there was True Blood or Six Feet under Allan Ball wrote this brilliant screenplay. A movie that cemented Sam Mendes in the A list. Other than Skyfall none of his later movies can hold a candle to American Beauty.

About two years ago, when I wanted to create my website, I discovered Joomla and PrestaShop. And few month ago I discovered Gimp and Inkscape.
I learned quite a lot about Joomla and Prestashop in all this time and I'm still learning about Gimp and Inkscape.
At first they looked strange to me, but then I got used to it. I have found a lot of tutorials and forums, where user can get some help.
Since then I discovered quite a lot of free and open source software. Some of them are really good and easy to use and I like them. I really like making tutorials how to use them.
For now there are mostly tutorials for Joomla, PrestaShop, Gimp and Inkscape and later hopefully there will be tutorials for other software too.

Silly me, I just bought the app thinking it would connect over Bluetooth, but in the description they only talk about WIFI... My DJ computer does not have a network card because I don't want it online ever. I used a USB dongle to activate Windows (and Virtual DJ). So connecting over WIFI is out of the question. Then I discovered that my tablet doesn't have Bluetooth (WTF?). What are my options?
P.S.: I'm a total noob in wireless PC connections. I haven't worked with VNP connections yet. I installed Bonjour from Apple, but still no dice. I configured the tablet as a WIFI hotspot, still nothing.
I would buy another tablet, if necessary, one with BT... But is it even working with Bluetooth? Working properly, that is. Because I read somewhere that Scott didn't recommend a Bluetooth connection... He would have his reasons...

The notion of never putting a PC online in case something goes wrong is just silly. If the OS is up to date and a firewall set correctly you will have no problems at all.
You can still add a wifi card but disable internet access.

I recently purchased the Virtual DJ Remote App. I've never used Virtual DJ Remote before and the first time I connected with my laptop just fine when it recognized my tablet.
Second time, it didn't connect or want to connect with the tablet, and on the laptop I made the mistake of hitting the "Forget" button and it hasn't been able to recognize my tablet or connect with it again ever since then.
How do I get this issue corrected so that the Laptop recognizes the tablet again so that I can use Virtual DJ Remote with my android tablet. I can't even find the connecting IP and Port numbers on my tablet anymore to try and connect that way, and I've even followed the instructions on how to get to the tablet's IP but it won't show the Port number.
Please HELP!

There should be a setting named as <vdjRemoteDevices /> and probably has a list with devices there.
Delete the entire line of the setting, Save and launch VDJ again.

There should be a guide with some exemples.
I have an Android Sony xperia Z3C, a lenovo laptop with Win10 that runs Vdj8.
Connected to the same wireless network at home, VDJ is not able to connect to the remote vdj8 phone. It does not even see it.
But even if that would work, there would still be the problem of using it in a place without a wifi connection.
In win10 they cut off the option to simply set up an ad-hoc wireless network. There is a workaround, using the command prompt. But your wifi hardware has to support the hotspot feature.
My laptop is a recent one, but its wifi card is one of them that cannot act as a hotspot. I updated the drivers, but still no luck.
I ended up using my mobilephone as a wifi hostpot (native feature). Then I can connect to that network with my laptop.
I start Remote Vdj8, but still it cannot connect automatically.
I tap on the screen of Remote Vdj8 and it shows me the IP address I can then type in Vdj (settings->remote->add new device) on the laptop.
Works fine :)

10,000 days of love: celebrating Phil Nanlohy, a dialogical educator June 21, 2017Posted by Editor21C in Primary Education, Teacher, Adult and Higher Education, Uncategorized.

Educate is to immerse of meaning everything we do (Paulo Freire)
On the evening of the 19th June, teacher educators and primary teachers gathered in Parramatta, in the heart of Western Sydney, to celebrate the career achievements of a teacher educator legend: Phil Nanlohy, one of the most generous academics to have ever worked in the School of Education at Western Sydney University.
Phil had chosen that day for his retirement festivities because it marked his 10,000th working day at the University. He was happy and thankful that he could stay for more than 27 years in the same work place: happy as he made so many great friends; and thankful because over all these years he was able to make an intensive and in-depth commitment to his passion for education.
Both retirees and current teacher educators, along with other teachers who were present at that celebration, were unanimous in recognising that Phil's positive impact in primary education in New South Wales goes far beyond the university's lecture theatres. His legacy can be seen in the lives of thousands of university students, whom he has supported to achieve their goals and to become current teachers across Western Sydney. Phil has been the role model of so many teachers who learned with him to be better educators in their everyday teaching practices.
This is one of Phil's important lessons: that teachers are never 'ready to teach'; that we all learn while teaching, but this learning only comes if teachers have the chance to permanently self-reflect on their practices and their pedagogies. Paulo Freire, the greatest educator, philosopher and social activist, would say that "nobody starts to be an educator on Tuesday at 4 pm; nobody is born as an educator, or even defined as an educator. We become educators, permanently, in practice and reflecting on our practice". Accordingly, Phil has fought so many good pedagogical fights to support students to create practical and insightful tools that would help them to increase their self-reflective skills, augmenting their capacity to implement their teaching philosophies with their own students, and becoming better teachers.
All testimonies on that festive night were about how Phil had always put his students' needs in front of his own necessities: his mission was to help his students to find their ways through the sometimes daunting academic context. So many of his students were the first in their families to ever go to a university; many times they did not have either the cultural support or the knowledge about what the academic life requirements were. So, Phil was always there to help them to solve their problems.
Phil's "proud sons of a teacher" gave evidence of the many evenings and numerous weekends that he spent on preparing materials for his students. This careful planning had the aim of delivering authentic learning experiences to his students, as Phil firmly believes that every lesson should be immersed with social and cultural meaning, so his passion for education would flow to students as they make their way to their emancipation as educators and citizens. For Phil, this passion was clearly a two-way route: as student-teachers embedded themselves with the hunger for teaching, they simultaneously nurtured Phil's own desire to keep looking for ways to be a better teacher-educator himself.
Phil's enthusiasm for his shared practices with his students was visible. More than visible, one could feel this enthusiasm rolling along the campus' corridors and teaching spaces. Phil was relentlessly looking for better ways to improve his communication with his students.
This is another valuable lesson of Phil's pedagogies. He was always in a dialogical relationship with the students; in a Freirean sense, that means to be in the students' world AND with the students' world. According to Freire, it is in the dialogical process that teachers develop their critical consciousness about the world they and their students inhabit. Dialogue is an essential tool for teachers to become educators.
In a historical period when neoliberalism and individualism pervade our daily lives, seemingly aiming to destroy the bonds that ties us as communal beings; in these precarious times when intolerant political ideas have strongly emerged within our societies, Phil's unselfishness teaches us that dialogue is one of the most important tools that educators can use to increase their students' social conscience towards a fairer society.
Phil's lessons, though, go beyond that. His generosity towards his students and colleagues were a true lesson of love. Love that, according to Paulo Freire, it is both the foundation of the dialogical process as "the dialogical process itself". Love for the world and for human beings. Love and dialogue, not manipulation or paternalism. Love as an act of freedom that generates new acts of freedom.
Phil's lessons of love towards his work, his students and the world will remain with all of us, his colleagues and former students. The 10,000 days owe which he disseminated his love for the teaching profession will certainly generate many other thousands of days of dialogue and love for education.
However, we will miss him and his generosity on a daily basis. Phil's words during his celebrations showed that he is a truly Freirean educator. Very humbly, he said that all "these years have been gift. The friendships and the support given to me have let me work as the teacher I wanted to be. Thank you all for what you have allowed me to do".
Phil's Educator shoes will be very hard to fill.

Objective or Subjective? Can the arts be assessed? June 13, 2017Posted by Editor21C in Engaging Learning Environments, Primary Education, Secondary Education.
Tags: arts education, assessment, creativity, curriculum, drama education
add a comment
As with any subject area arts education must conform to curriculum policies and procedures, including those related to assessment. In subjects such as Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts, students' creative work is assessed formatively and summatively through a range of assessable instruments. However, the assessment of artistic work presents unique challenges, as the processes used are highly dependent on a wide range of interrelated contributions. This leads to wide speculation that the arts cannot be assessed, as all judgements are merely subjective.
Arts learning is multifaceted in that it connects to the human experience, engages learners in imaginative and aesthetic growth, accesses technical skills and allows for vocationally orientated experiences. It is also creative and dynamic, using assessment tasks to gauge artistic responses upon the learning trajectory. It is arguable that ongoing and regular assessments are critical components of the arts classroom. Students' creative work is assessed formatively and summatively through a range of assessable instruments, including individual and group performances, journals and logbooks, design portfolios, director folios, script development, improvisation tasks, video production, self-reflection, theatre reviews and interviews. Performance assessments in particular can be complex because of the variations between performance sites, the requirement for ensemble or group work, the nature of the ensemble or group, the access to technical equipment and the composition and reactions of any audience that might be in attendance (Oreck et al. 2003).
But these problems can be addressed through effective assessment task design. The larger issue is the perception that the formal and widespread assessment of artistic creations can result in a stifling of individual expression, imagination, creativity and originality, while not allowing for the fresh pursuit of ideas (Hanley 2003). A wide range of responses are also plausible to a particular task. Despite these challenges, system-wide assessment in the arts is achievable and necessary to establish the credibility of the field and to provide systems for identifying student achievement within the formal school curricula.
One of the biggest challenges identified by Harris (2008) is that 'creativity' is not easily defined and is therefore difficult to assess. Assessment in aesthetic domains also utilises personal responses to stimuli, which can be unfamiliar to those more accustomed to assessment tasks with previously defined answers. This is where the duality of objective and subjective constructs comes into play. Haynes (2008) and Ross (1993) describe traditional assessment methods, as identified by Hyde (2013), as being focussed on objectivity, whereby assessors are expected to discard their own feelings in favour of strictly set criteria in which interpretations are not required.
A focus on objective judgments is contrary to arts education, and indeed, the broader aims of education. O'Toole et al. (2009) remind us, "Knowledge and learning are of course never objective nor value-neutral, much though ultraconservative groups and politicians might wish them to be seen as such" (p. 108). Jackson (2006) justifies the validity of creative assessment tasks, arguing that "it should be possible to separate subjective judgments of creativity from judgments of technical goodness and from judgments of aesthetic appeal" (p. 169). Tomlinson (2001) argues for a healthy balance between subjective and objective judgments in order to create informed judgments on performance assessment that provide the most 'individually sensitive, accurate and comprehensive evidence' (p. 15) of student learning. Misson (1996) goes so far as to identify arts education as a site for the construction of subjectivity, which he argues operates at the nexus of intelligence and emotion: "thought is charged with feeling, while feeling is refined and strengthened by thought" (p. 11). In this respect, it has long been argued that subjects such as Drama teach empathy (Holland 2009; Trinder 1977). Similarly, Bolton (1984) describes Drama as a process of 'unselfing', which makes subjective and alternative responses a valid part of the dramatic response.
The assessor is concurrently an arts consumer, but is more active than other audience members. The ability of the assessor to capture their thoughts on the quality of work as it occurs is vital to the integrity of the assessment process. For example, during a performance, the assessor is required to make judgments about the quality of the work and physically notate their thoughts in relation to given criteria. The assessor makes cognitive links between student choices based on the assessment criteria, balancing their judgements with their own implicit criteria, which are necessarily based on their personal experiences (Baptiste 2008). While an audience member is permitted to make purely subjective judgments, the assessor aims to make informed judgments, which may result in marks or grades being recorded. Teachers in the arts develop expertise in assessing the outcome of the aesthetic process or the manifestation of the individual aesthetic experience. The product is therefore viewed from a number of perspectives and informed judgments are made by the assessor based on set criteria and personal discretionary judgements in relation to, and the quality of, what is produced (Ross 1993).
Leach et al. (2000) argue that assessors are consciously and unconsciously biased by their own values, preferences and dispositions. In this respect, personal responses from both the assessor and the student can widen the possibilities for interpretation (Ross 1993). Rather than command that assessors discard these personal responses, it is preferable for students to be taught to use individuals' insights to reflect upon, and if necessary, make adjustments to their performances (Soep 2005). Students do not create art solely for the purpose of being assessed; rather they engage in arts education to pursue their own artistic expression. Therefore, students should be encouraged to assess feedback and apply their own artistic decisions to their work. Both students and teacher-assessors should be aware that subjective responses are natural, as they are rooted in "culturally authorised criteria" for judgment of the level of achievement (Ross 1993, p. 164). However, the assessor's judgement is recorded in quantifiable terms such as grades or marks; therefore, the student has a heightened awareness of the assessor's responses in the high-stakes assessment environment.
The literature suggests that subjective judgements are endemic in the arts assessment environment and can never be divorced from the process. At the same time, the 'healthy balance' (Tomlinson 2001, p. 15) between subjective and objective judgments are ideally what the teacher-assessor should deliver. Subjective and objective perspectives combine to create informed judgements that broaden interpretations on the students' art. This can be somewhat challenging to those not accustomed to assessment in affective domains, using aesthetically charged mediums. Academic work is traditionally associated with rational and quantifiable modes of thinking, therefore arts educators should take care to make their language accessible and their assessment processes transparent. Arts educators' challenge to traditional learning and assessment paradigms is also important because it broadens the educational community's understanding of the nature of learning. Discussing the merits of creative assessment tasks is also important as it allows for the rigour and complexities of the tasks to become visible to those outside of artistic fields.
The challenges associated with arts assessment, like the arts themselves, are heavily nuanced. Teachers and students do not engage in arts assessment to have a complete and full understanding of all its nuances. They engage in the arts to experience the joy of creative expression and artistic creation, to play 'pretend' in a range of roles and to build a more comprehensive understanding of the human experience through an array of lenses. There is also joy within challenge; Arts performance assessment contains areas of ambiguity and subtleties that lack definitive answers. The subtleties add to the richness of the field, challenging educators to engage in meaningful discussions in order to find ways to enhance fairness and equity amid the ambiguity.

A new plugin – Easy Digital Downloads Injector
Easy Digital Downloads, a digital/virtual product alternative to WooCommerce, is pretty good in my experience. We use it on Elegant Marketplace and it successfully runs a multi vendor marketplace handling thousands of transactions a month. Using Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) with Divi or Extra yields less than attractive results. Product pages look like blog posts without any targeted styling and it's largely shortcode based.
You could use a different theme of course such as Vendd but we're here because we love Divi so that's not really an option! Enter the EDD Injector plugin. You can simply make layouts using the Divi Library for the single product page (download.. EDD calls products Downloads) and for the product archive page (a grid of downloads etc) and assign them centrally using the EDD Injector settings page. More information and a helpful video over at Elegant Marketplace.

Unless you're paying attention to the mobile market, you're not serious about SEO (search engine optimization). It's that simple. According to a 2015 report conducted by SimilarWeb, 56 percent of internet consumer traffic was of the mobile variety. Few businesses can afford to ignore such a massive chunk of potential profit. The bottom line is that you need to understand and implement mobile SEO if you want your business to survive. It's that simple. We're not going to teach you the world of SEO as related to mobile devices in a single article but here are five tips to start with.
1. Got Psychology? A mobile searcher goes about the task slightly differently than someone using a desktop or laptop. For instance, they use shorter phrases, which isn't a big surprise since the keyboard is considerably smaller. Also, mobile searches are predominantly local in nature and tend to accept Google's autocorrect feature more often. This is critical intel. Old school SEO best practices suggested to go after long tail keywords, which is still a good idea. Just be sure you add the shorter tail keywords into the mix also. And don't neglect to tune your website for local phrases like – for example – "Atlanta tuna fish sandwiches."
2. Keep Social Media Buttons Visible. The reality is that a great many of us are tuned into our social media all the time, receiving alerts and notifications from our favorite handful of social media platforms in a constant stream. Keep this in mind when you're building your website's mobile responsiveness. Social media buttons should be visible on every page, making it easy for a visitor to interact with you or share the page with others. Social media is not a fad. The popular websites may change but the idea is here to stay.
3. Don't squish it to Fit Smart internet entrepreneurs realize that it's not enough to tweak your old website until it looks okay on a mobile device. If you haven't done so yet, undertake a floor to ceiling redesign of the website that makes looking good on mobile a top priority. This is such an important concept to get in your head. The internet is no longer built for desktop access. People simply don't get their information that way anymore. To put it another way, you've got to drop your line where the fish are swimming. If your website doesn't look good on mobile devices, they will simply go elsewhere.
4. Put it on a Subdomain. For those who don't wish to undertake a complete redesign of their website, here is an alternative, and one that is used by lots of big companies. Create a subdomain with an URL of m.yourdomain.com (where "yourdomain" is, well, your domain). On this subdomain you put your entire mobile website. If it's designed correctly, the website itself will detect if a visitor is using a mobile device and serve up the appropriate version. Depending upon how "techie" you are, this might be a job for a real webmaster.
5. Consider WordPress Word Press isn't just for blogging anymore. These days, you can build out a website using Word Press that looks great on any device. Once you open an account, go into the theme area and browse for a while. Look for a feature called "responsive" or "responsiveness," which is just a way to say it is pre-tuned for the mobile crowd. Anything you create is already preconfigured to look good no matter what device the visitor is viewing it on. Even better, Google loves word Press, so you automatically give your mobile SEO a boost just by choosing it.
The real point here is that mobile SEO is not something to do when you get around to it. Website owners who neglect to get in front of this issue may find that they can never catch up with competitors who do. Don't try to learn everything there is to know in a day. Pick out a few changes, or even one, and implement it. Then do another one. If you do nothing else, you should create a subdomain and should start designing a mobile version of your website to occupy that space. A final tip. Studies show that the majority of mobile users are in entertainment mode when they're on such a device. Where possible, tweak your content accordingly.

Moonlit trees and pond near Arey Cove on East Schoodic Drive. The bright "star" to the left is Jupiter between the Gemini twins, Pollux and Castor. The star to the right of the trees is Capella, the third brightest star in our northern hemisphere (after Arcturus and Vega).
This is a blend of two exposures: a short one for the sky, and a long one for the ground and trees, with a 91% illuminated moon at my back. I tried a new method in Photoshop for masking the two layers by choosing the blue channel of the longer exposure and then selecting the highlights to better mask out the bright areas between the tree branches without also selecting the brighter tree trunks and rocks. With a little feathering and edge refinement it worked great!

No Score Draw Ends Run Of Defeats
13 April 2013
By Hob Nob Anyone?
Reading can thank Alex McCarthy for keeping a clean sheet and earning a point, ending a run of seven consecutive defeats. Liverpool created sufficient chances to bury Reading, but by the end even they were moved to acknowledge the brilliance of Reading's 'keeper on his return from a long term injury. Suarez and Gerrard were first in line to shake his hand at the final whistle. Although Liverpool probably deserved to win, Noel Hunt came close to stealing all three points when he got on the end of a Pogrebnyak cross midway through the second half. Before the game got under way representatives of both clubs laid a floral tribute on the centre circle in memory of the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy followed by a well observed minute's silence.

Discussion in 'Windows 8' started by lllFATAL1TY, Apr 11, 2014.
You need to login to view this posts content.
But, really this is a experiment?
Because Microsoft Research seems have updated some ModernUI Apps (Bing suite Apps, Xbox Apps, Win8 pre-installed Apps), including a new desktop tile with recents files, some taskbar functions, etc.
I could want to see this on a Windows8.x update.
The link to the Microsoft Research site is dead, as well as the official videos. They are still on YouTube, though.
Telling from what I've seen, this thing seems to be in a stage that is a little more than just research and that's the reason I think they removed any public information from their site. The demo really looks like its fully developed code instead of just a mockup/concept. The Start screen could be a modified, alternative implementation of the one in Windows 8/8.1 to enable the interactive stuff; for example, it's missing the user tile and buttons in the upper right corner as they are not relevant to the matter of the project. Along with that, they seem to have modified some of the official apps as well to utilize the interactive tiles. Whether this is just for research purposes or is about to find its way into core Windows... who knows. I'd really love to see some of this stuff in Threshold. It's pretty much about 1 1/2 year since Windows 8 has been released, and all the updates we've seen in the meantime were rather minor ones. Well, this is a candidate for being one of the major ones in the works.
all part of "One Windows"
they kept saying Windows Next
At the end tiles will be so interactive that Microsoft might even invent programs... Maybe they can even be moved around, then someone will name the frame a window...
(The same thing we saw with consoles. They are so much getting closer to PCs that now they are PCs. The thing they started from...)
Very interesting videos.
Windows 8 should have been released with these features.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Self-Portrait, 1847

He was eighteen, and a student at the Royal Academy, when he drew this self-portrait. It captures the rebellious and highly romantic self-image which he projected at this time.
I spoke a little bit here in the blog about the Pre-Raphaelites. Dante Gabriel Rossetti was their standard bearer, and my first encounter with his name was also my first meeting with the name of that movement. I was probably fifteen or sixteen when I came across his name (and their name). It was, if I remember well, a mention in a novel by Somerset Maugham, but I could be wrong. Everything was astonishing. The name of Pre-Raphaelite, how was that, to be an artist painting before Raphael while in the nineteenth century? Was it a time machine, or what? My two granddaughters, along with my little grandson, would tell me that you don't have to be a genius to realize that it's a time machine. Well, no. I got it only after many, many years. No, it wasn't a time machine, and it had nothing to do with Einstein or H. G. Wells. More with the antipathy for the Academia and especially for Sir Joshua Reynolds, if you know what I mean.
But the most astonishing was his name, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Dante still was okay for me, but Rossetti! This name belonged (with a slightly spelling difference, Rosetti), to a famous aristocratic family with some important personages in the history of my own country, Romania (the best known of them was C. A. Rosetti, one of the founding fathers of modern Romania). Were they related, these Rosettis with those Rossettis?
And I started a search. Dante Gabriel Rossetti was the son of Gabriele Pasquale Giuseppe Rossetti, an Italian poet and scholar who had emigrated to England. There is a book about the Rossettis, authored by Dinah Roe (The Rossettis in Wonderland: A Victorian Family History). I found only an excerpt, that looks fabulous. Here you go: the exiled Italian poet Gabriele Rossetti arrived in London in 1824 with a few letters of introduction, little money and less English; but within one generation, he would bequeath his new city with a remarkable cultural legacy through the accomplishments of his children; there was the poet and Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel, the poet and religious thinker Christina, the nun and Dante Alighieri scholar Maria, and William, who combined a life of English letters with a successful career in finance; the lives and achievements of the Rossettis are placed within the wider context of the artistic, literary and spiritual communities that inspired them and that they shaped in their turn; they worked with each other and in collaboration with the most famous figures of their day - the Barrett-Brownings, Tennyson, Swinburne and Ruskin - as well as within significant groups like the Pre-Raphaelites, Anglo-Catholics, Freemasons and suffragists.
I looked for their genealogy. It came out that by the beginning of the seventeenth century a Nicola Della Guardia , from Vasto, in the Abruzzi, married a Maria Rossi. Their son got the nickname of Rossetti, either for the maid name of his mother, or rather because he was particularly red-haired. And Rossetti they remained throughout the centuries.
Now for the Rosettis, their family came to the Romanian country from Constantinople, where a Lascaros Rossetos (or Rosseto) was living at the beginning of the seventeenth century: a document from 1629 is co-signed by him, together with Patriarch Kiril. This Lascaros was married to a Bella Cantacuzino.
Thus the Rosettis (or Rossetis, as you can see small spelling differences are not that important) were of Phanariot origin, but it seems that their ancestors actually had come to Constantinople from Italy (wiki). Could it be the same family? I would like to know.

What is the Best Frozen Yogurt Maker?
A frozen yogurt maker is generally synonymous with "ice cream maker," and products are typically labeled that way: Ice cream makers. The reality is that they are equally capable of producing amazing frozen yogurt.
These machines may be used to make a large variety of frozen yogurt flavors according to your personal taste. Combine that with the convenience of making it at home whenever you choose, and making your own frozen yogurt becomes fun and rewarding.
There are many different models of frozen yogurt makers, including automatic (electric), hand-crank, play-and-freeze balls, and soft-serve with topping dispensers. It can be difficult to decide which one will meet your needs. In this article, we'll review some of the best-selling products available to help you determine which model is best for you.
Hamilton Beach Frozen Yogurt Maker
Hamilton Beach 68330R 4-Quart Automatic [Frozen Yogurt] Maker
The automatic Hamilton Beach [Frozen Yogurt] Maker is a basic model and is labeled an "ice cream maker," along with nearly every other model of frozen yogurt makers. It includes over 20 recipes to help you get started making delicious frozen yogurt immediately.
It can make up to 4 quarts of frozen yogurt in 20 - 40 minutes. In deciding if this product is right for you, consider it's size. This fully automatic electric model's dimensions are 12 by 12 by 13-1/2 inches; It could easily be stored in a kitchen cupboard.
The Hamilton Beach Automatic [Frozen Yogurt] Maker boasts an Easy-Lock lid to prevent mess, easily removable parts for hand-washing, and a 1 year limited warranty.
Customers who bought this product claimed it made great-tasting treats for a great price.
Some reported that the plastic Easy-Lock lid tended to crack after several uses. As with many automatic frozen yogurt makers, this model was reported as making a loud noise while operating.
Cuisinart Supreme Frozen Yogurt Maker
Cuisinart ICE-50BC Supreme [Frozen Yogurt] Maker
The automatic stainless steal Cuisinart [Frozen Yogurt] Maker is a high-end model, comparative to professional-grade frozen yogurt maker models.
It has a built in compressor-freezer, so you don't have to pre-freeze the bowl before making your frozen yogurt. All you have to do is add the ingredients, set the pre-fixed timer, and let the machine do the work, making up to 1 1/2 quarts of frozen yogurt at a time. The timer will go off when the frozen yogurt reaches a specific temperature and consistency, so you know it's done.
The ingredient spout, lid, paddle, and bowl are easily removed for hand-washing. It's dimensions are 15-1/2 by 10-3/4 by 10 1/2 inches, and comes with a 3 year limited warranty.
Customers who bought this model loved the quality of frozen yogurt that was produced. The cons included the price, how heavy it was to carry, and how long the machine took to make frozen yogurt (up to 60 minutes) compared to other models.
Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Frozen Yogurt Maker
Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence [Frozen Yogurt] Maker
Another stainless steel automatic model, the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence [Frozen Yogurt] Maker is somewhere between economy and high-end, and likely best suited for those wanting a model that will last long, but who don't want to spend a lot of money at this point.
Up to 2 quarts of frozen yogurt are ready to eat after just 25 minutes, making this Cuisinart model perfect for those who are concerned about lengthy wait-time. At 8-1/4 by 8 by 11-3/4 inches, it's compact size makes it a great choice for saving space.
Built to last this model comes with a limited 3 year warranty which is comparable to the high-end Cuisinart Supreme model described previously.
Customers loved the warranty and quality of the product for the price.
Some did say that the self-freezing component didn't freeze the yogurt to the hardness of their liking. As with other models, it was considered a bit noisy.
Play & Freeze 1-Pint [Frozen Yogurt] Maker Ball
The Play & Freeze Ball is fun for the entire family. Take it camping, picnicking, traveling, or parties. With this ingenious ball, you can make frozen treats literally anywhere. The frozen yogurt is made inside the ball as you kick it, throw it, or roll it.
This model is lightweight, easy to store, and easy to clean. It makes approximately 1 pint of frozen yogurt in 30-35 minutes.The small yield of frozen yogurt makes this model more of a way to enjoy a fun activity than a way to make a large amount of frozen yogurt for a group.
It weighs in at just over 2 lbs, and has a limited 1 year warranty. The warranty specifically does not cover damages from kicking or dropping the ball.
Customers who bought this product loved how fun it was to use: particularly for their children.
The cons were that some people found it could be hard to seal. Others said it could be messy when you had to open the ball and mix the contents half-way through the freezing process.
Aroma Wood-Barrel Frozen Yogurt Maker
Aroma AIC-204EM 4-Quart Wood Barrel [Frozen Yogurt] Maker
Our list wouldn't be complete without a model featuring a hand-crank. The Aroma Wood Barrel [Frozen Yogurt] Maker can do the work automatically, OR you can use the hand-crank option, and enjoy making frozen yogurt the old-fashioned way.
Many people have memories of sitting on the porch making frozen treats while turning the hand-crank over and over again. Others may not have time to do that, but want to enjoy delicious frozen yogurt too. This model provides the best of both worlds. It's great for picnics, BBQ's, and family get-togethers.
This antique-looking model makes up to 4 quarts of frozen yogurt at a time, and has parts that are easily removed for hand-washing. It's dimensions are 12-2/5 by 12-2/5 by 16-3/10, making it the largest model of this review article.
Customers loved that they could choose how to make their frozen yogurt. Kids enjoyed taking turns using the hand-crank, and seeing what "they had made."
Some reported that it took longer to make the frozen yogurt than with other automatic-only machines. It was also noted that you can't leave alone too long, or it will freeze solid and the rotation of the mixer will stop.
Cuisinart ICE-45 Mix It in Soft Serve [Frozen Yogurt] Maker
The automatic Cuisinart Mix It in Soft Serve [Frozen Yogurt] Maker is unique to other automatic models in this article because of its condiment-dispensers, and fun to use pull handle that sends frozen yogurt swirling out just like a real soft-serve machine.
You can fill the 3 condiments dispensers with a variety of toppings, including sprinkles and mini M&M's. There is also a built-in cone-holder. Customizing the frozen yogurt to the individual tastes of everyone in the family is a wonderful feature.
This frozen yogurt maker produces 1-1/2 quarts in just 20 minutes. Measuring 10-1/2, by 12-1/2 by 19-4/5 inches, it is fairly tall. The parts are removable, and hand-washable. This model has a limited 3 year warranty.
Customers loved being able to customize their frozen yogurt to their liking.
Some customers didn't like the bulkiness of the model. There were a few reports the dispensers not working correctly.
Cuisinart Mix-It-In Soft-Serve Frozen Yogurt Maker
