"One cannot spend one's entire life running into bathrooms when danger calls!"
― Reif Larsen, The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet
As my time here at Noneofyourbusiness University PD winds down, I've got to thinking about what I've learned working here. Sure my typing is faster than it's ever been and I can set up last minute blood drives, but there are a lot of little things you pick up at a job that have nothing to do with your day to day responsibilities. Here are some unexpected lessons I've learned dropping off and picking up laundry – which involves a lot of time in the men's restroom.
- Knock first. Some surprises aren't pleasant.
- People take you largely at your own estimation. I flat out frightened more than a few boys who wandered in and found me unexpectedly found me hanging gear on lockers, believe me I never thought it would become part of my job description either, but I learned that simply acting like you know what you're doing is a great deterrent to questions and complaints. I hope one day to test this theory by simply walking into a high security facility.
- Things are only strange until they become routine. These days absolutely no one is surprised to see me going about my job in the bathroom, and the guys are all pretty laid back about it. Life's curveballs turn into your new reality pretty quickly, might as well learn to roll with the punches. (And mix metaphors as necessary.)
- Dogsbody work is rough, and the people who do it should be appreciated. I routinely lug 30+ lbs. of clothing around, the hangers have cut my hands, doors have slammed on me, and people (in misguided attempts to be funny) have neglected to hold doors when I've asked, in spite of the fact that I'm performing a service for them. I hate it. Which now means when I see somebody struggling with a hard task, the moral thing to do is lend a hand if I can.
- People will blame you for their own errors, like telling the Chief that you are responsible for their lost pants when they have been hanging in his home locker for weeks (I might take that anger to my grave). It's a fact of life. Remember how grouchy it made you and try to make sure you're never guilty of the same behavior.
- Find the humor. It make be a thankless chore, but there's nothing like the look on a seasoned, grizzled man's face when you skip merrily out of the men's room with a chipper, "Good morning!" to make it a little less onerous.

State-of-the-art en route and terminal hardware and software teach air traffic control students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Daytona Beach campus how the systems work in a real-world ATC environment.
The advanced training and scenarios presented to students on radar lab consoles and display systems used by professionals "are more realistic" than the previous equipment, according to an Oct. 3 news release.
ATC modeling and simulation software called I-SIM ATM and manufactured by Kongsberg Geospatial, is said to deliver realistic en route and terminal air traffic scenarios to students so they can be better equipped to attend the FAA Academy, a mandatory stop for those entering the professional ATC environment.
The idea is to give students "a strong foundation when graduating and seeking employment" with the FAA, the Department of Defense, or commercial air traffic facilities.
Brandon Liden, an Embry-Riddle senior, is one of hundreds of students practicing on the same type of equipment used in ATC centers throughout the United States.
"This is exactly what they have in the field," Liden said. "It's nice we're able to get used to the same equipment" in a practice environment before entering the field as a professional controller.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Inspector General said in 2016 that the FAA must hire 6,300 new controllers during the next five years to replace those retiring to maintain staffing levels that hover around 14,000.
William Coyne, an air traffic management professor and the university's ATC program coordinator, said he has seen interest in the degree program grow during the last several semesters.
The aeronautical university noted that "85 percent of the U.S. air traffic controllers who are currently working will be eligible for retirement" within the next 10 years.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is among an original cohort of 14 colleges and universities that were granted an FAA designation as a Collegiate Training Initiative school.

At Temple Sutton we currently use Maths No Problem in Years 1, 3 and 4 and will be rolling it out to Years 2 and 5 in September 2018.
Maths No Problem uses the successful Singapore Maths teaching approach and adapts it to meet our current curriculum. Problem solving is key in its approach, as it helps our children to learn and to improve important mathematical skills. Children will be given time to explore different areas of maths, discuss, reflect and refine their learning.
Our aim is to help our children become mastered in maths, where they are fluent in their number facts, can problem solve and can reason about the maths they use.
Please use the links below to access videos to help to explain the Maths No Problem approach.

When you begin talking about spiritual matters, especially knowing and understanding the heart of God, there is an aspect of the equation that we must remember: The enemy of God will work overtime to undermine our relationship with our Heavenly Father. The truth is, any endeavor that seeks to exalt our Father in heaven will be met with spiritual conflict.
While this is a spiritual fact of life, there is nothing to fear. We must respect the adversary's tactics, yes, but we must never forget that he is a defeated foe, a desperate soul who has fallen out of eternal favor with God and who is fighting a losing battle for his professional life. He is in subjection to Jesus Christ, who reigns in our hearts and lives.
Nothing can touch us unless it comes through our Father and Christ our elder brother. And even if God sees fit to allow this to occur, whatever finds its way to us finds us filled with the Holy Spirit.
Rest in Him—there is nothing to fear.
But this doesn't mean the enemy won't try his best to convince us otherwise. He is unscrupulous enough to even put on sheep's clothing.
In the great passage on spiritual warfare from Ephesians 6, Paul begins his thoughts with this exhortation: "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might" (6:10). Your confidence must not be in the church, your pastor, your spouse, your Bible study group, or the godly person who discipled you.
You are strong in the Lord's strength. This doesn't mean you feel God's strength come over you.
You don't gain God's strength. You have it.
His strength is Christ in you. Notice the scripture doesn't say we are to become strong, it says, "be strong."
Strong is something you are, not something you become.
Next blog is about who you listen to

Let us go back to 1985 and take a walk around Hollingbury Industrial Estate. Remember back then, Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister and also probably the reason the estate is so different today! By 1985 manufacturing at Hollingbury was in decline; providing nothing like the level of employment of its past. Leave your Ford Sierra there mate, it'll be fine, no parking restrictions this far out of town, let us have a look at this first building.
This factory, now occupied traditional furniture manufacturers Cameo, was constructed in 1948 for Ogdens Bakery. Probably the introduction of mass-produced sliced bread in 1928 was the reason for the "spread" of factories like Ogdens. Cameo Furniture moved here from Regent Street when their town centre building burnt down.
Right lets walk to the next factory; no time to put your Sony Walkman on, it is only a few minutes along Crowhurst Road. This factory was also constructed in 1948, originally for Underwood Business Machines, who were part of the iconic US Underwood Typewriter Company. ITT Creed moved here from their Croydon facility in 1966. In the 1970's ITT Creed were the largest employer in Hollingbury with around 2000 employees, however the business was transferred to STC in 1981.
Moving on to the next building at the top of estate...........phew, that was a steep hill. I've got one of these new mobile phones thingies, they call them "brick phones", I think that's because the battery is about the same size as a brick, and so heavy to carry. We are now at the top of the estate, the building opposite is currently occupied by Da Conti International. It was constructed in 1963 for S. M. Tidy Ltd, who operated a civil engineering business from the town centre since the 1930's. As their plant became too big for the town they moved to Hollingbury. In the post-war period, they constructed most of the roads and sewers for the large housing estates in Hollingbury, Hollingdean and Bevendean. Their founder Sidney Tidy was a local philanthropist who died in 1980.
Let us walk back down the hill; the next building is currently occupied by Wade Engineering who manufacture pumps and compressors. It has an unusual winding spiral access road through the front of the building to the roof car park. Hang on, just before we move on I have to take this phone call, my stockbroker........... his advice is to buy TSB shares, they float next year. It is brilliant Maggie's idea of shares for everyone, it seems no one has to work and we all make money. I do not really understand it but those clever bankers can't all be wrong, can they?
Now look at the building next door, it has a classic post-war design and such 'graceful' style, well for a factory. It was constructed in 1948 for Typewriter Sundries Ltd and then used by Gross Cash Registers, who did very well in the changeover to decimal currency. However, Gross failed to invest their profits into research and were losing their market share to American and Japanese companies. The Labour Government of the day wanted to prevent bankruptcy and Anthony Wedgewood-Benn, set up a deal where Chubb took over.
Walking down to the bottom of the hill; the building on the corner was completed in 1953 for Henry Clark & Son Ltd. Surprisingly specialist marine paint manufacturer Henry Clark & Son were established, not by the sea, but in Reading in 1832. They had prestigious accounts with the Royal Navy and Cunard Line. They moved to Brighton in 1953, and in 1974 they merged with Norwegian paint manufacturing firm Jotun, becoming one of the largest marine coatings manufacturers in the world.
If we nip through this access road we'll get a good view of the KTM factory. This rear section was constructed in 1956 and its mostly used for the manufacture of heavy machine components. The welding bay is at the very rear, where huge thick steel fabrications are arc welded together. They must use a huge amount of electricity, let us hope the miners don't go on strike again, or they could be out of current!
Lets go back out onto Crowhurst Road, watch out for the buses, so many of them arrive about this time of the day to take all the workers home, it can be a little congested. This next factory Leytool Ltd is due for demolition, it is a shame, I hope it's not a sign of things to come? Leytool originated in Leyton East London and made assembly tooling and specialist hand tools to support the RAF during WWII. They were enticed to Hollingbury in 1949 when this factory was built, but also still also traded from their Layton factory.
Talbot Tools were founded in London and had premises in Borough High Street near the river. Soon after the start of WWII, and at the at the behest of the Ministry of Aircraft Production, they relocated to Kings Street in Brighton to avoid the heavy bombing. Soon after the war they moved to Roedale Road, however by 1958 they had outgrown the premises and with an eye to further expansion, bought out KDL Precision Engineers Ltd who were the original leaseholder of this factory. Staff at that time were bussed up from Roedale Road to see the new premises, and described going to Hollingbury as 'a trip out into the country'. The factory was extended in 1968 and the Roedale Road works were closed.
This factory was constructed for CVA Ltd in 1951, and was nominated "factory of the month" by the Institute of Works Managers. The Company closed their toolroom in Upper St James's street and moved all toolmaking to the new factory in 1952. It was then CVA's claim that they had "the finest toolroom in the country" here at Hollingbury. The Company has since downsized and consolidated into the factory behind. It is a shame the building is now empty, apart from being used for storage by Cameo Furniture. Hang on, I just need to check the time before we move on, I want to be home in time for that new soap, Eastenders.
There's some confusion over this next building, was it first Pullars or Smiths? The answer is yes! Pullars Electric was an old Brighton firm, who in 1937 were acquired by the huge instrument manufacturer Smith & Sons. Pullars, who manufactured cooker clocks, were just a small "cog" in the huge Smith empire. The group Smith & Sons changed their name to Smiths Industries Ltd in 1967, but it is probable that this factory still traded as Pullars in the early days. ITT Creed used the building for research and development after it was closed by Smiths in the 1970s.
Sorry but I'll have to leave you now, if you walk round the corner into Carden Avenue you'll see the grand front entrance to Pullars. I've got to dash, I need to get "back to the future"!!
Peter (or 'Time Lord') Groves...that is a masterpiece of reconstruction! I teach landscape studies where we study changing landscapes over time and that is an excellent distillation of change at Hollingbury industrial estate. The key theme of all landscape studies is that all landscapes show 'Continuity and Change' and this article encapsulates that. Well done! (ps I declare an interest, as I have lived in Hollingbury for the past 25 years.)
Many thanks Geoff, lots more on Hollingbury Ind Estate to come, thanks again!
Thank you Peter Groves. I have been searching for the building where I worked in 1966 /1967 such happy memories on my life journey. I actually made the 'ding' striker for the cookers in my time at Smiths. Any photos of workers in 1966?
Dave I think I have one of the workers returning to Smiths after lunch. I can email it to you if you want to contact me email@example.com
Thanks Peter, any photo would be kind.
Do we know who was the Boss in 1966?

Another Thursday, another Teddy Bears Picnic. This week I thought I'd share two cute little bears from SeaWorld. Sam bought them both for me. One on a family holiday and the other when he went to the Gold Coast with friends. I've always been fascinated by polar bears and anytime there is a documentary on TV about them I tune in and marvel at their magnificence.
Do you have a bear to share? Just pop your details into Mr Linky and we can all see your cute little bear.

Oh my what a wonderful long weekend! It was full of great food, tons of outdoors time and lots of quality time with the boyfriend. These long weekends always bring us even closer as a couple and make me realize how perfect he is for me. The weekend started off late Wednesday night when we got home from work and headed up to his families place in NH. We didn't get in until almost 2 in the morning and went to bed quickly after but that didn't keep us in bed the next morning! I woke up and made waffles for the boyfriend and I then headed out for a run.
Around the condo they have a 2.5 mile loop that is very hilly but so beautiful. I ran it three times while I was there. I think I would run it almost daily if I could. After I got back still dripping in sweat I quickly toweled off and headed out to mountain bike with the boyfriend. We drove up to a snowmobile trail and then headed out into the woods.
We went into the woods for about an hour, passing over streams and by marshes with hundreds of dragon flies. The whole time we didn't see a single person, it was perfect. After we headed back both starving and went to grab a late lunch. Then without showering we headed into town to try and find me a long sleeve bathing suit top. No luck as most of the stores had turned their inventory over to fall and back to school. Shopping smelling is not the way to go, about an hour into it all I wanted to do was go home and clean off, so we did that and then headed out awhile later to dinner. Since we both had worn ourselves out we headed home for an early night. The next morning we got up and headed out for a hike.
We were originally only going to do four miles to a waterfall, but then the boyfriend got aggressive and we headed out to the outlook area another two miles away. A mile into it he got starving though so we decided to turn back and look at the falls.
We did get a good glimpse through the trees though of how beautiful the outlook would have been. All is well though because the falls made up for it!
They were so beautiful! We hung out for a little bit cooling off in the mist and then headed home to meet up with the rest of the family. The next day I don't have any pictures of but we headed down the river in kayaks for about five miles. It was a slow paddle so we went into the river around 11 in the morning and didn't come out until almost 5:30. I was so impressed with the my sun clothing, I didn't get a single burn or even tan line the whole time I was out there! I was really worried but the stuff works.
Sadly our trip to NH ended but I had one more day of freedom before work so I went with my dad to the Deutsche Bank Tournament on Monday. It was HOT. Dripping sweat, sitting in the shade under trees, drinking copious amounts of water and not wanting to see the winners hot.
I loved spending the day with my dad though so it was so worth it. The perfect way to close out the perfect long weekend. I needed this vacation so much!

Palau, Tropic Dancer
Captain's Log 8/30 – 9/6
A little after 4pm on Sunday, we welcomed on board 9 guests, all from different places around the world. Australia, USA, & Singapore. We started with a quick introduction to their cabins and then on the dive deck were everyone started to set up their dive gear. Once gear had all been set up guest sat down for dinner followed by the safety briefing and vessel orientation then to conclude the night a documentary on Palau.
Early Monday morning we moved the Tropic Dancer out into Malakal Harbor. After breakfast we covered the general dive briefing before the first dive at the Helmet Wreck. We entered the water did our weight check and descended down to the wreck. We checked out all three cargo holds, seeing the WWII helmets, depth charges and airplane engines. On the bow we found saw blade shrimp and signal gobies. Back at the stern we spent some time looking over the WWII artifacts that have been collected from the wreck and placed by the bow gun. During our surface interval the big boat moved just outside of Malakal Harbor for our second dive at the Iro Maru. Divers descended down on to the bow of this five hundred foot wreck checking out the massive ship gun and making their way through the large kingposts. When divers made it down to the stern and explored another huge gun we did a spiraling ascent up the large tripod structure, at the top of which had two giant clams surrounded by tomato anemones. During lunch the boat moved out to the German Channel area. With our third dive at Barnum's Wall, were we start at coral garden with lots of beautiful hard coral formation, turtles, white tip reef shark we also got to see a leopard shark and spotted eagle ray. Back to the big boat and had a snack followed by the last dive at German Channel, although no manta at the cleaning station there were lots of sharks and schooling fish feeding, the current picked up and we started drift inside the channel.
On Tuesday morning we started our day with Blue Holes. We dropped down the wall and made our way in from the big door entrance, seeing a pygmy seahorse, disco clams then head out of blue hole and went with the wall on our left hand side towards Blue Corner. As we swam along the wall we saw sharks, schooling fusiliers, turtles and bumphead parrotfish. Back to the big boat for snacks, then off to the second dive at Fern's Wall for an easy dive with lots of fish in different varieties, soft corals, sea fans and gorgonians formations are beautiful; the highlight of the dive was a large tiger shark. 3rd dive was at new drop off, we started the dive on the outgoing side with medium current in the beginning once at the hook in area the current started to pick up, we all managed to stay the whole dive with lots of sharks, barracuda, reef trevally, pyramid butterfly and red tooth trigger fish. 4th dive was Turtle Cove; we started the dive at the cave and made our way out with the wall on the right. Tons beautiful soft coral formation and saw a square spot anthias, notodoris minor nudibranchs. Along the corner wall we saw the school of rudderfish, pyramid butterfly and black snappers, grey reef sharks swimming around and associate with rainbow runner. Also, lots of turtles on top of the plateau. Our first night dive was at German coral garden; current was out going and made our way towards the Alexis coral garden, beautiful coral garden.
Wednesday morning we started at Blue Corner on the incoming side, it was an awesome dive spending most of the dive at the hook-in area, spotting napoleon wrasse, lots of sharks, schooling jacks and barracuda. 2nd dive at Virgin Blue Hole it was a great dive finding crocodile fish and the canyon look like reef. 3rd dive at New Drop Off and we start at the outgoing side of it, saw lots of sharks, barracuda, reef trevally and turtle. 4th dive was at Big Drop Off it was a great dive with lots of beautiful soft corals, nudibranchs and flatworms, schooling butterfly fish and couple of groupers. Night dive at German coral garden with couple of crocodile fish in the beginning, plorabranchs, couple of lionfish and a beautiful moon jelly in the end of the dive.
Thursday we headed back to German Channel starting on the Peleliu side, we sat and waited at the cleaning station although no manta again we still had lots of cool stuff to see. Back to the big boat and head down to Peleliu for the next 3 dives of the day. We did Peleliu corner the current was out going and we dove the side know as "The Cut" where the current was strong, we hooked in most of the dive and saw lots of schooling fish like jacks, couple of tune and tons of sharks. 3rd dive at Barracks Point where we found plenty of turtles, cool giant clams and lots of small stuff like nudibranchs. 4th dive was at Orange Beach divers found lots of artifacts from WWII, also seeing turtles, barracuda and a school of bumphead parrotfish. Night dive was at Ngemelis wall it was awesome dive finding shrimps and crabs, basket stars and other cool stuff.
Friday our first dive at the world famous Ulong Channel starting at the wall we headed to the hook-in area were the current pick up we hook in with lots of sharks swimming around, afterwards we drift inside the channel to see lettuce coral and giant clams as well. Second dive at Siaes Tunnel, awesome dive swim through the tunnel that looks like cave with couple of sharks hanging around we continuo swimming till almost the end of the dive we got to se saw hammer head, it was a great dive. 3rd dive at Siaes corner and it was an easy relaxing dive with lots of schooling fish along the wall and beautiful soft coral and sea fan formation. 4th dive at sandy paradise where Sergio propose to Sylvia under water and it was a great dive too seen couple of scorpion leaf fish and lots of schooling tuna and barracuda.
Saturday we made our way to Jellyfish Lake, we jumped on the skiff excited to see millions of golden jellyfish. It was a 15-minute skiff ride and a short hike over the hill to where everybody enjoyed the wonder of these magical creatures. After the lake we went to the Milky Way. An island with velvety smooth sand that the guest slathered on themselves. Kind of a do it yourself" spa treatment. The last excursion of the week took us to Chandelier Cave. The best way to end a week of spectacular diving with four air chambers to explore and a nice muck dive outside the cave looking for mandarin fish and signal gobies and other macro life.
Sunday morning we woke up to continental breakfast and at 8am we said our goodbyes to all of our guests. We would like to tank all of our guests from Thailand, United States & Romania for joining us this week aboard the Tropic Dancer. Until next time.

beautiful photos as always.. inspired i have been playing endlessly with my new camera! Have any good suggestions on how to do photo storage, i need to get the 5 year old photos off my computer to free up space for the new ones! : )
Let's play "fetch" with the, um... deer leg? Fun. :)
Love all the pictures! :)
I am so jealous of your life! Can I live with you? Everything always looks perfect! Also, can you install a scratch and sniff on your pictures so that when you upload your pictures to your blog we can just scratch (or rub) our computer screens and we can smell everything?! That peppermint soap must be amazing. And must taste delicious, hehe those bite marks made me LOL.
**sigh** back to the stinky city life
Ugh. John Wayne does the same thing. Those cowboys and their deer legs...
Also, that picture of Table and Tulips is amazing. I keep staring at it.

SFP (less than half the volume of the GBIC module, you can configure more than twice the number of ports on the same panel.
As the SFP in function and GBIC basically the same, Video SFP but also by some switch manufacturers called miniaturized GBIC (Mini-GBIC).
SFP compresses the size and power consumption by placing CDR and electro-dispersion compensation outside the module. For optical communications applications in telecommunications Video SFP and data communications. SFP connects the motherboard and fiber or UTP cable of network equipment such as switches, routers, and so on. SFP is an industry specification supported by some fiber optic device providers.
SFP supports SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Channel, and some other communication standards. This standard extends to SFP + and supports 10.0 Gbit / s transfer rates, including 8gigabit Fiber Channel and 10GbE. The SFP + module version of the fiber and copper core versions, compared to the Xenpak, X2 or XFP versions of the module, will keep some of the circuitry on the motherboard implementation, rather than within the module.
SFP, SFP package - hot-swappable small package module, the current maximum rate can reach 10G, mostly using LC interface. SFP is SMALL FORM PLUGGABLE English abbreviation, can be simply understood as an upgraded version of GBIC. SFP volumes are reduced by half compared to GBIC optical modules, Video SFP and more than double the number of ports can be configured on the same panel. Other features, SFP basic and GBIC consistent. So some switch manufacturers to SFP called miniaturized GBIC (ie MINI-GBIC)
SFP consists of:
The laser includes the transmitter TOSA and the receiver ROSA
Circuit board IC,
External accessories are: shell, base, PCBA, pull ring, buckle, unlock pieces, rubber plug composition,
Also in order to identify the convenience, Video SFP generally the color of the ring to identify the module's parameter type. For example: black pull ring for the multi-mode, the wavelength is 850nm; blue is the wavelength of 1310nm module; yellow is the wavelength of 1550nm module; purple is the wavelength of 1490nm module.
SFP classification:
1, in accordance with the rate of 155M / 622M / 1.25G / 2.125G / 4.25G / 8G / 10G, 155M and 1.25G currently on the market with more, 10G technology is gradually mature, demand is rising posture development , But also the future of the main optical module products. The following are the same as the "
2, according to the wavelength of 850nm / 1310nm / 1550nm / 1490nm / 1530nm / 1610nm, the wavelength of 850nm for the SFP multi-mode, transmission distance of 2KM below the wavelength of 1310 / 1550nm for the single mode, transmission distance of 2KM above, Said the price of these three wavelengths are cheaper than the other three.

A Chip off the old block
John Lewis Croft Collection Simon Pengelly Harp Chair (left) and Mardi Gras Armchair from Myakka
IT'S 300 years since the birth of Thomas Chippendale, the English cabinet-maker and designer responsible for some of Britain's most treasured heirlooms.
But while Yorkshire-born Chippendale created the brand in 1754 when he published a pattern book for clients to choose from, it was his 50- strong artisan workforce that made the furniture.
Chippendale and his son (also Thomas) created designs in the "Gothic, Chinese and modern taste", modern being the French Rococo style and this entrepreneurial approach is similar to the way we choose furniture today. We may visit department stores or look online but we usually choose from ready-made designs.
Now many of us are also looking for a signature piece that might become a family heirloom, such as the Matador Armchair by Terence Conran.
It's been noted at John Lewis, where furniture buyer David Barrett says: "We are seeing people investing in well-made, beautifully designed pieces for the home that will stand the test of time."
Another of these is the Harp Chair, developed and handcrafted by Simon Pengelly for British chair makers Sitting Firm (024 7640 7930; sittingfirm.co.uk), and Barrett says: "The Harp is rooted by traditional chair-making expertise yet adopts a fresh and contemporary feel."
Chippendale created more than 100 items of furniture for Nostell Priory in Yorkshire. Now a National Trust property, it is celebrating its collection and has an online exhibition of his work (nationaltrust.org.uk/nostell).
As for the Harp chair, created for John Lewis's Croft Collection, it's one of the store's main launches this year.

Le système stoïcien et l'idée de temps
Première partie:
La théorie du temps et sa portée
A. La théorie du temps
III. La théorie du temps
22.214.171.124 Définition
Brief summary:
For Chrysippus the Stoic, time is the interval of movement in the sense of giving measure to the motion's speed or slowness. It is also the movement of the world by which all things not only move but also exist. For, existence is a matter of being actually active in the present, and this furthermore is to be true, because to exist means to be an activity currently belonging to a subject. Thus "walk" truly belongs to you and thus exists when you are actually walking right now, and it does not truly belong to you and it does not exist when you are currently sitting or lying down. This also means that the past and the future do not exist. But we still say that they "subsist". [For, they have somethinghood as incorporeals.] The present is infinitely divisible, without that infinite divisibility ever being completable. This means that any piece of time no matter how small will always include a pastmost and futuremost extremity. Thus no part of time is precisely and completely present, but it is partially so.
Chrysippus defines time in the following ways. {1} Time is the interval of movement, in the sense that one might consider it the measure of speed and slowness. {2} Time is the interval that accompanies the movement of the world, and it is in time that all things move and exist. However, time has two meanings, just like the earth, sea, and void. For, we can consider all four in terms of the whole or the parts. Just as the whole void is infinite in all respects, so too is the whole of time infinite at its two extremities, as the past and the future are infinite. This is clearly affirmed by Chrysippus' thesis: no time is entirely present; for, since the division of time continues to the infinite, and since time is continuous, that means that each cut in time can be further divided infinitely. Thus no time is exactly present, but a time is said to be present in a certain extent. Chrysippus says that only the present exist, while the past and the future subsist without existing at all. Similarly, Chrissipus says that only predicates that are actual attributes exist; for example "walk" belongs to me when I am walking, but when I am lying or sitting, it does not exist.
10. « Chrysippe définit le temps : intervalle du mouvement, au sens où on l'appelle parfois mesure de la rapidité et de la lenteur ; ou encore : l'intervalle accompagnant le mouvement du monde ; et c'est dans le temps, que toutes | choses se meuvent et existent. Toutefois, le temps se prend dans deux acceptions, ainsi que la terre, la mer et le vide : (on peut en considérer) le tout ou les parties. De même que le vide total est infini de toutes parts, de même le temps total est infini à ses deux extrémités ; en effet, le passé et le futur sont infinis. C'est ce qu'affirme très clairement sa thèse : aucun temps n'est entièrement présent ; car puisque la division des continus va à l'infini, et que le temps est un continu1, chaque temps aussi comporte la division à l'infini ; en sorte qu'aucun temps n'est rigoureusement présent, mais on le dit (présent)2 selon une certaine étendue. Il soutient que, seul, le présent existe ; le passé et le futur subsistent, mais n'existent pas du tout, selon lui3 ; de la même manière, seuls, les attributs qui sont accidents (actuels) sont dits exister : par exemple, la promenade existe pour moi, quand je me promène ; mais, quand je suis couché ou assis, elle n'existe pas »4.
1. Litt. : « selon cette distinction » (des continus et des discontinus).
2. Le mouvement de la phrase impose cette interprétation, corroborée, au surplus, par la définition donnée par Posidonius : Τὸ δὲ νῦν καὶ τὰ ὅμοια ἐν πλάτει χρόνον καὶ οὐχὶ κατ'ἀπαρτισμὸν νοεῖσθαι. (Arius Did., 26 ; Dox. gr., 461, 19-20.)
3. Nous adoptons la conjecture de v. Arnim : φησιν. Ms : εἰσὶν; Diels : εἰ μή.

Only the present exists (ὑπάρχειν); the past and the future subsist (ὑφεστάναι); in the same way, as attributes (συμβεβηκότα), only the accidents are said to be the case (ὑπάρχειν); for example walking (τὸ περιπατεῖν) is true of me (ὑπάρχειν), when I walk; but when I sit or when I lie down, it is not true {οὐχ ὑπάρχει}.

51B Stobaeus 1.106, 5-23 (SVF 2.509)
(1) Chrysippus said time is the dimension of motion according to which the measure of speed and slowness is spoken of; or the dimension accompanying the world's motion. (2) And (he says) every single thing moves and exists in accordance with time . . . Just as the void in its totality is infinite in every respect, so time in its totality is infinite on either side. For both the past and the future are infinite. (3) He says most clearly that no time is wholly present. For since continuous things are infinitely divisible, on the basis of this division every time too is infinitely divisible. Consequently no time is present exactly, but it is broadly said to be so. (4) He also says that only the present belongs; the past and the future subsist, but belong in no way, just as only predicates {κατηγορήματα} which are [actual] attributes {συμβεβηκότα} are said to belong, for instance, walking around belongs to me when I am walking around, but it does not belong when I am lying down or sitting.

TEXT 44: Stobaeus Anthology 1.8.42 (vol. 1, pp. 105.17–106.23 W-H)
Chrysippus: Chrysippus says that time is the interval of motion according to which the measure of speed and slowness is sometimes spoken of; or, time is the interval which accompanies the motion of the cosmos. And each and every thing is said to move and to exist {εἶναι} in accordance with time, unless of course time is spoken of in two senses, as are earth and sea and void and the universe and its parts. And just as void as a whole is infinite in every direction, so too time as a whole is infinite in both directions; for both the past and the future are infinite. He says most clearly that no time is wholly present; for since the divisibility of continuous things is infinite, time as a whole is also subject to infinite divisibility by this method of division. Consequently, no time is present in the strictest sense but only in a broad sense. He says that only the present exists, whereas the past and future subsist but do not at all exist— unless it is in the way that predicates are said to exist, though only those that actually apply; for example, walking 'exists for me' when I am walking, but when I am reclining or sitting it does not 'exist for me'. . . .

Off Road
As much as I like Asian dramas, movies, music and its culture they're still a lot of other things I'm interested in. I'm just going to write down a list here for those of you who wonder about my non-Asian preferences. 🙂
Bands/ Music Groups: If it's not K-pop or J-pop I really like to listen to rock music. Especially Classic Rock! Screaming along with these lyrics relieves stress and is a great motivation while working out:
Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, ACDC, Kiss, Linkin Park, Billy Talent, Volbeat, Muse, The BossHoss, Incubus, Kings of Leon, Bullet for my Valentine, Simple Plan, Farin Urlaub (german singer), Sunrise Avenue
Billy Talent: Devil In A Midnight Mass
Muse: Supermassive Black Hole (live)
Aerosmith: Dream On
Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven
Next to Classic Rock is Country one of my two favorite music genres! I just love me some good old Country – makes every day brighter. 😉 Besides the singer Josh Turner, I've got no preference in bands or other singers here. Just gimme somethin' old and classic and I'm in. 😀
Josh Turner: Your Man
The Charlie Daniels Band: The Devil Went Down To Georgia
Besides these I also like smooth R'n'B, indie rock and music of the 80's:
David Choi, Jack Johnson, Abba, Queen and basically every cool song of the 80's. 😉
David Choi: By My Side
Jack Johnson: Better Together
Queen: Killer Queen
And sometimes, I actually listen to classical music. It makes me comfortable and helps a lot to concentrate while studying. 😀
Ravel: Miroirs IV – Alborada del Gracioso
Mozart: Piano Sonata #11 In A, K 331 – Rondo Alla Turca
Beethoven: Piano Sonata #8 – Pathetique, 2nd Movement
Films/ Series: When it comes to asian dramas and movies I kind of watch everything besides horror. As for other films I'm way more picky. My prefered genres are action, comedy, romance and fantasy – and it'd be the best if everything is mixed together in one plot. But you could also go into a music movie with me, a psychological or revenge-based one.
My favourite movies which I can remember at the moment are:
Doctor Strange, Wag the Dog, Maze Runner, The Giver, The Hunger Games, The Count of Monte Christo (and I'm pretty sure I've seen every film version possible), Les Choristes, The Geisha, Hangover-Trilogy, Iron-Man-Trilogy, Little Lord Fauntleroy (watching it every christmas), Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, How to train your Dragon 1 and 2, Men in Black-Trilogy, Inception, every Jane-Austen adaptation available, V like Vendetta… and so many more I can't recall at the moment. 😀
Memoirs of a Geisha: Trailer
Inception: Trailer
V like Vendetta: Trailer
My favourie series:
Supernatural (Gosh damnit, I'm addicted to that suff! >.< ), Sherlock (by BBC), Castle, The Big Bang Theory, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Emma Approved, Gotham, The Mentalist, Marco Polo, Arrow, The Walking Dead
Supernatural: Trailer for season 1 (D'aww, they were so young back then! xD )
Sherlock: Trailer for season 1 and 2
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: First Episode
Yes, I like YouTube-series. They're short, lovely, funny and pretty easy to understand. Plus, I watch everything related to Jane Austen anyway. 😉
Well… that's pretty much all, isn't it? I guess I'm going to update this post from time to time if something new came to my mind. Oh, and: Thanks for reading! ❤
Once upon a time…
… I was a normal little girl. I liked Barbie, dolls, playing mother-father-child and cooking a lot of interesting meals with plastic dishes. I'd go out in our garden and catch little pitiful insects to watch them trying to escape their prison called "jam jar". My older sister liked to play with building blocks which were originally mine just to tell me that I've to play with the house she constructed just now. I didn't mind.
So quite a normal childhood. Until I met the Japanese cartoons in the afternoon-TV.
I'm sure many people know about series like "Sailor Moon", "Detective Conan", "Inuyasha", "Pokémon" and the rest of that sort. That's how all of this began. I got infected with the "Anime-Virus" and from then on my life revolved around the time after school and before going to bed. My parents are sort of strict so they allowed my sister and me roughly one hour of TV per day. No need to mention that we hardly followed that order, right? There were just too many interesting anime's going on so we couldn't help it! 😉
Aah, the nostalgia's strong with this one. ❤
Man, how I loved Inuyasha. xD And the song still gives me chills.
I actually use this as my work-out background music sometimes. xDD
Sheesh, the memories with this one! -^^- Conan was basically my everyday-after-school date for years!
Soon after discovering these series I found out about the Japanese comics – manga's. Well, one thing led to another and my sister and I began to collect all sorts of manga's at our home. I even began to draw these kind of figures myself and the more I was getting into the matter the more passion grew inside of me. My love for Asian things became a part of me and even my family began to recognize that. They gave me all kind of Asian gifts for birthdays, Christmas and other holidays. It was great! ❤
The step from manga's and anime's to Asian dramas with real actors and actresses was done by a manga called "Hana Kimi" – a really cute one – which was the "model" for a Japanese drama. I don't remember it that exactly anymore but I think the friend who borrowed me "Hana Kimi" told me about the drama series. Well, however I got there doesn't really matter. The point is: I loved it! So much that I searched for other dramas like this and found a website with thousand and more thousand series – Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese… you can't imagine my reaction! I was literally blown away!
I still clearly know which was my second drama because this one guided me to the Asian music industry: "You're Beautiful". I fell in love with Jung Yong Hwa (second male lead) at once and as I was collecting some information about him I stumbled over his band "CN Blue". While watching the famous music video "I'm a Loner" on YouTube some other videos related to k-pop showed up at the right side bar – and one click later I found myself confronted with the 13 handsome boys of "Super Junior". What should I tell you? They had me in their hands immediately. Again, one thing led to another and a few months later I knew about almost every k-pop group and singer there was to know, started to spend my days indoor watching k-dramas and collected information about idols and actors.
CN Blue: I'm a Loner
My first ever MV by Super Junior – and I fell hard! 😉 Especially for Donghae… #FirstKoreanIdolCrush ❤
Super Junior: Sorry Sorry
That's how it started. People often said – and some still do – that I waste my time with these things and should do something "useful" instead – to which my question always is what "useful" means in their eyes. And why I should live my life according to their opinion of "useful". I am responsible for my own life and no one else. I don't owe anyone an explanation as to why I am doing with my time what I am doing. Neither my parents nor friends or anyone else. They won't live my life for me, right?
And as I am looking at my lovely Korean and Japanese friends which I treasure dearly I know that it was the right thing to do. =)
Blog Topic & Information
Hello everyone!
First of all: Thanks for visiting my blog! I don't know how you got here but since you're already present, do take your time and look around. Just one little thing before take-off: English isn't my mother tongue. I always try my best to write nicely and without major errors but mistakes happen and if you happen to find one – ignore it, it's mine! 😉
So this blog, huh? What it's about? Well, about the world I live in; about the passion that defines me; about the thing I could talk about all day, every day. The heading makes it pretty obvious: This blog is about Asian dramas, movies, music, actors and actresses, idols, the culture, food and any other thing that comes to mind.
I've loved Japan since I was but a little child; culture, language and people. I've loved how this country's so completely different compared to mine and never fails to surprise me. My interest and later on love for other Asian countries such as Korea or China grew naturally as I drowned myself deeper and deeper in their culture. As life is though, interests change and what started as an admiration for everything Japanese slowly turned into an adoration for everything Korean. I can honestly say that I find both countries equally compelling considering their difference to mine. South Korea grew on me though, like I never thought it would and, as it stands, is my favorite country now. The language is easier to learn and, as far as personal opinions go in these matters, softer on the ears. I like Korean food mostly better than Japanese food (minus Sushi) and I do love their traditional clothing (Hanbok) – admitted, on the other hand, that probably nothing will ever look as good, divine and beautiful in my eyes as a traditional Japanese Kimono. ❤ Still, South Korea did its magic on me and I'm all too willing to remain bewitched… 😉
PS: Before the question arises – yes, I've been to both countries, Japan and South Korea, and no, I cannot say which one is "better". They're both equally beautiful and breathtaking. 🙂

The village of Wilmette, just 15 miles north of the Loop, is considered one of the most desirable of the Chicago suburbs. With its proximity to the city, excellent schools, diverse architecture, access to beaches and well-manicured lawns, it is easy to understand why. The community boasts scores of business homes and a good variety of business and services. Wilmette is also home to one of the finest school districts in the nation, and has an extensive park district, which illustrates dedication to the families who live there.
The Wilmette Harbor is a haven for pleasure boating; in fact, a sunny summer day sees the lake filled with colorful sails. The beaches are a major attraction, and the community is extremely proud of it's beach, the longest and one of the most popular ones in the area. Also on the lakefront is an outdoor arena at Gilson Park, which holds numerous programs including live theater and musical entertainment.
The lake is not Wilmette's only recreational opportunity. The village also has two public and two private golf courses, two indoor ice rinks, a large outdoor pool, a variety of athletic fields and 19 public parks. The Baha' i Temple is the community's crowning landmark, drawing tourists from all over the world to its lakeside location. The design of the ninesided domed temple took 40 years to complete. It is surrounded by nine flower gardens and nine fountains. Wilmette's eastern section features an antique street lighting system, which was installed in 1925 using green cast-iron poles with ornamental luminary. This charming feature, along with its cobblestone streets, gives Wilmette a glowing link with its past.
Stately Victorians, Tudors and Colonials are the prominent home styles closest to the lake. Colonials, split-levels, ranches, bungalows and some classic Victorians and Italianate homes are found in the central and western part of the town.
Wilmette's elementary students attend Districts 37 and 39. Gifted education, computer classes, music and art instruction are just some of the programs offered.
The Edens Expressway (I-94) is a quick hop for a half hour drive into the Loop. Local trains take 35 minutes to get to the Loop, 20 minutes by express. The CTA elevated train ride to the Loop is 40 minutes. O'Hare Airport is a 30- minute drive, and Midway is 45 minutes away.

Ethereum Classic 80gb – Wealth with Legs! – The Affluence Network
Thank you for visiting Affluence Network in search of "Ethereum Classic 80gb" online. You've probably noticed this often times where you typically spread the great word about crypto. "It is not risky? What happens when the price accidents? " So far, several POS systems gives free conversion of fiat, relieving some worry, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, many people is likely to be reluctant to put up any. We have to find a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. A lot of people choose to use a money deflation, particularly those that want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal solitude, for example, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; in case you are living pay check to pay check, it would take place as part of your wealth, with the rest allowed for other currencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that may lead to company being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not crucial to understand how the process functions in and of itself, but it is essentially vital that you understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Authorities and banks can just choose to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum Classic 80gb – The Affluence Network: Build Your Own
The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: as a result of nature of the protocol in which it's transacted. All deals on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. Once youare paid, you get paid. This isn't anything shortterm where your visitors could dispute or require a concessions, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, most professionals will be smart to utilize a transaction processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto-currency orders, you have to make certain that protection is difficult. With any type of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might access your personal secrets and therefore grab your money. Unfortunately, you almost certainly can never obtain it back. It is vitally important for you yourself to adopt some very good safe and sound techniques when working with any cryptocurrency. This can protect you from most of these unfavorable activities. In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be traded as being a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies proclaim that this type of virtual money isn't controlled by way of a key bank system and it is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a limited number of products, this coinis importance is based on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to industry over cryptocurrency trades. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers claim that there is "actual" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth climbs due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some kind of reward so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. Additionally it is possible the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of "shares" won.
If you're considering going it alone, it really is worth noting the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a stable stream of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to completely block the reward. When searching on the internet forEthereum Classic 80gb, there are many things to think about.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Ethereum Classic 80gb. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to suggest that markets are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no need for substantial amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The merest occasions in the world economy can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and privacy can easily be achieved by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. This mining action validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it isn't wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they be a part of more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. As one of the oldest forms of making money is in cash lending, it really is true that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on company of Bitcoin, but I am confident there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby that will give other monies. Some websites are now outside: valves: these are websites where you fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a modest amount of coins for that faucet. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of pat into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some websites of pat include: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. The new ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well. The best way to produce a reasonable plan and examine it in the light of these complications? If you are looking for Ethereum Classic 80gb, look no further than TAN.
Ethereum Classic 80gb – The Affluence Network: Building Wealth At Every Level
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It should be hard to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having little gains is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to have a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz. It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital currency referred to as Bitcoin. There are different from common currency we know. This is only because they're not controlled by any country or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a huge breakthrough in the means of exchange. Additionally, it brought tremendous solutions to the issues of identity theft online. Transactions go through several parties as a way of creating trust, but today it truly is possible to create trust through development of a complex code by just one party. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making enormous ammonts of money with various kinds of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on quite successful business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology.

Larger buttons in the UI
|Assigned to
|Widelands media development
Bug Description
A while ago I started thinking about the buttons in the UI, which are rather small heightwise. Accessibility wise this makes it harder to click them than it would if they were taller. They are already quite wide, so they are easy to select in the width, but slightly harder to select in height. Also, looking at the various menus, there is a lot of whitespace which is not used for anything. Rather than having lots of wasted screen area, I suggest rather filling it with larger buttons. This change would also increase accessibility as it gets easier to click the intended button when it has a larger click area.
I have experimented a bit with adjusting the height on the main menu, which makes the buttons a bit taller. However, from what I can see the width/height of the various buttons are set on each menu? Is there any reason this isn't defined in one place, to ensure all buttons behave the same. I was happy to see they automatically scale to the resolution set, though.
Since other changes to the user interface which might happen this iteration http://

Personally, I like this suggestion for a number of reasons and think it should be implemented.
|Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd) wrote :
Ok, I have made some attempts to establish a common default height and width for buttons, but have so far been unsuccessful. The current situation is that each menu, for instance src/ui_
m_butw (get_w() * 7 / 20),
m_buth (get_h() * 18 / 300),
These variables are then sent as arguments when the buttons are created. This means that the default height/width is duplicated in each file needing it, and all occurrences need to be updated.
My suggestion is to organize so that it is possible to call the button constructor without specifying height/width and it will be assigned a default value. This would allow us to move it to one place where it can be updated. Also for any buttons we don't want the default size, calling the constructor with height/width parameters will override it. (In essence two constructors, one with height/width and one without, where the latter would redirect to the first with the default values specified) I have tried adding default values to the constructor, but the compiler does not like it when the rest of the parameters have no default values.
However, I suspect the reason it is done the way it is currently is due to the get_w()/get_h() methods which will not be available in the button class. Which means my approach may not even work if done correctly. I would still really like to see this defined in a single place. Does anyone have any ideas?
Oh, and I'm not sure if I have mentioned this already, but while I know programming, I don't really know c++ :/
|SirVer (sirver) wrote :
those calculations are done to make the button's size resolution independent in the menus, defaulting to one button size would be bad if you increase the resolution: the buttons would need scaling.
A better approach might be remodel the UI to work with normalized coordinates going from 0 to 1 or so. With this, the resolution would not matter for the layout and your approach with the default sizes will work out.
As it stands now, I cannot see how the button default size can be moved inside the button class besides adding a static member variable. That is clutchy though.
|Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd) wrote :
>those calculations are done to make the button's size resolution independent in the menus
yes, that's what I thought.
I am not sure about your suggestion about normalized coordinates. I think that may make it harder to finetune positions.
I thought a bit about making a variable (call it a semiconstant) which holds the current button-height/width scaled to the current resolution. This would be a "semiconstant" since it would only be updated when the resolution changes (singleton?). It seems a bit hacky though...
|SirVer (sirver) wrote :
thats along the lines what I suggested with a static member in the Buttons class. Not nice.
The normalized variables idea come from recent open gl based games that define their menus in such a way. Upping the resolution doesn't change the size of the elements on the screen, only their resolution. I find this really neat.
|Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd) wrote :

Any examples I can take a look at? I'd like to see how it works before commenting on it further.

This has been on my todo list for a while, but I guess we will just have to wait a while.
I would like to be able to see how the tweaked buttons work over time, and allow time for adjustments both for improvement and consistency. Therefore I consider this a bit late in the release cycle, so I'm retargetting this to build18. I plan set up an experimental branch with this as soon as build17 is out the door to get this done, though.

Cian Boland is always injured so you can't be looking to him to be part of the spine of your team.
I believe they are waiting until the football championship is over before making a decision
I'd have my doubts on Rushe at 6 going forward.
I don't think he's played well there now for a while, he would have to improve on the last few years for me to stay at 6. But the problem is where to play him as he's still good enough to start.
If he lost a bit of the bulk he could go back to midfield? Was good there previously.
Waiting on this thread to reach 2000 posts.
Heard it from reliable source…
I'd play him at 10/12. Centre forward didn't suit him but more room on the wing. We never replaced Danny or Keaney on the wings as ball winners. Liam for me could do a job there
Excelled under Dalo. Cunningham messed him around positionally for a year trying something that was tried before and hasn't regained form. I'd also say the 10/11 players who were missing hindered performances.
Another weekend of this thread
Even your sources aren't always accurate Rochey
Ah PP we're not that bad.
More annoyed with myself than anyone Liam.
They'll probably announce it on Monday afternoon so gets buried at bottom of sports news which will be all about the Ireland Wales match.
Burying it won't achieve anything, anyone who cares is waiting for the news.
Half back line is the only place I think. He brings a lot of things to Dublin, but unfortunately the ability to turn quickly isn't one of them.
Indeed, she has gone to ground, the phone is even dead!!! Not sure what to thunk!!!
Yeah liam has put too much emphasis on the bulking side of things. Under a proper S&C regime he should be guided to spend the winter months focusing on getting as lean as possible whilst mainting strength.
Is Martin Quilty an intercounty option? Is Hedgo?
Would Hedgo go back though? Couldn't see him as the main man, maybe he'd go back with the new man? I know the players had huge respect for him anyway.
Are you talking players wise?

Christian Parenting: How To Teach Your Son To Respect Women - By Karla Downing
It is your job as a parent to teach your children. Much of this teaching has to be intentional. One of the things that you must be conscious of is how to teach your son to respect women. God created men and women to be different but not to be any less valuable. Throughout history, women have been controlled, abused, and mistreated by men. The church needs to follow Jesus' example and treat women as equals that deserve to be treated with respect. Do the following things:
Help him to recognize that God created him with a warrior spirit that is to be harnessed to protect rather than control women. Men need to use their physical strength to care for those they love rather than to dominate them.
Help him to respectfully listen to women even when he doesn't understand them. Teach him the differences between men and women in order to help him appreciate rather than judge the differences. This will give him patience and a willingness to tolerate things that he doesn't understand.
Teach him to respect his mother. If you tolerate disrespect from him as his mother then he will not respect other women. You also must give him an example of a woman who is worthy of respect in character and in behavior. Love him so he will not harbor anger in his heart toward you that comes out toward other women because of the wounds he has from hurts from you.
Teach him to treat his sister with kindness and feel a responsibility to be a caring male in her life. It can even be healthy for him to watch her and protect her in a way that affirms his role as one man in her life who is to care for her and protect her.
Hold his father responsible for treating women respectfully. This means he must not view women as sex objects. He must be faithful to you as his wife. He has to view daughters as equal in value and ability as sons. He must not try to control you but love you as Christ loves the church. He must not be abusive to you or his children. If he does not do these things, you must make a stand that shows that his behavior is wrong and displeasing to God.
