|"Nation's word" coming soon billboard !!
By Sarah Naguib
What is unique is that the GIS launched an advertising campaign for the documentary whether in TV ads or in billboards in Cairo streets !!!!
I remember in the intelligence's jubilee , we got this op-ed without writer's name in Al Akhbar newspaper along with Omar Sulieman's photo only !!
The documentary focus of course on the famous and successful operations of GIS like Rafaat El Hagan and Gomaa Al Shawn , May Allah bless their souls.
Now before Egyptian viewers would watch this documentary, you can see it here on Egyptian Chronicles. "Thanks to Youm 7".
Amazingly the documentary focus on identifying Israel and the States as enemies despite the very good relations of GIS with Israel and the States. Already historically the CIA helped founding the GIS.Already for radical zionists this film is an evidence on how anti-Semitic the Egyptian intelligence is.
Not from artistic and technical point of view , this decumentary is a disgrace for the intelligence and Egyptian documentary school that produced directors like Farida Erman and Samiha El Ghominay !!
Bad editing , bad music and bad narrator who speaks as we were in war !! Bad production that does not suit the GIS for real considering that standard !!
Samiha El Ghonimay's documentary series about the Royal/Presidential Palaces were much more professional than this cheap thing !!
Of course one of the few things or actually the only thing I knew from that documentary that the intelligence got a museum inside it with all the spy gadgets they got !!
This documentary is actually a stupid way on how to mention the history of GIS since 1954 to the #Jan25 in
There was nothing about these guys and their role in the intelligence at all, only Nasser and Sadat are mentioned , thank Goodness Mubarak was not mentioned !!
|The founding fathers of GIS including Sami Sharaf
and Mohamed Nassim in 1950s
Nevertheless knowing Egypt well, I know that for simple Egyptians this documentary is great.
I read and know about the history of intelligence to make me not to fall either in the complete romanticism heroic world of GIS or its complete hate. The intelligence just like the army and police got its ups and downs and its main role should be to protect the Nation. After 16 years of being managed by Omar Sulieman , I have to be worried on the GIS especially with the allegations that face it when it comes to rendition scandal worldwide.
The GIS is under fire now for the role it has been playing in the past 16 months in the activists communities as some accuse it for working against the revolution.
There is no wonder that the GIS is launching this campaign to enhance its image in the society now despite the army and intelligence are still popular among most Egyptians. Of course the young educated generations do not have this romantic image about GIS.
Regardless of the GIS performance in the past 16 months or even in the 16 years of Omar Sulieman , I would like to remember in this post all the martyrs of the GIS that gave their life to Egypt sincerely throughout the years without any public recognition. May Allah bless their souls and I hope that their sacrifices won't be in vain for the sake of the country or the GIS. We need a strong GIS just we need a strong army.

Singer LeAnn Rimes is recovering after undergoing surgery for a hangnail on Monday.
The star took to Twitter before and after the operation to keep fans up to date with her condition, confessing she was in a lot of pain.
Prior to the procedure, she wrote, "Seriously painful hangnail. About to have surgery at the derm (dermatologist). This is not going be very enjoyable!!"
She later added, "Omg, that hurt! Numbing shots on your fingers are no bueno! at least I don't feel any pain right now or my hand for that matter."
But Rimes was back at work on a new Christmas album on Tuesday, tweeting, "SOOO excited about what we're creating for my Xmas project."
The "Blue" singer also posted a photo of herself in the studio, surrounded by Christmas presents.

Brooke Elizabeth Cottrill, just turned seventeen in June, and is about to start her senior year at Bridgeport High School. The singer, songwriter and pianist, who recently released her debut CD, "No Princess," was born in Clarksburg.
This young lady sings with a maturity and vulnerability that is quite rare in someone still in high school and it is quite obvious the deep impact her musical upbringing has had.
We think that the world will be hearing great things from Brooke Cottrill.
Article Photos
Graffiti: How's high school going so far?
Answer: It's going well! I'm working hard on my classes and my music. I have learned a lot in my classes and about the people around me. Friends have come, friends have gone, and I've met some really cool people that I hope stay in my life for a while. I'm making good grades, and I'm in the jazz band, school plays, National Honor Society, etc. I also work at Gap and am a junior volunteer at United Hospital Center. I just wanna make the most of the time I have left (at school), and then go onto bigger and better things.
Graffiti: Most of the songs on "No Princess" were written before you even entered high school. Where did these feelings come from at such a young age?
Fact Box
- Cottrill's songs are available on iTunes and her CDs are available for purchase at Bandland in Clarksburg, Showtime Music Center in the Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport and through BrookeCottrill.com.
- Cottrill will perform at the Bridgeport Farmer's Market on July 29 at 10 a.m., at the Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport on Aug. 1 at 7 p.m. and at the T&L Car Cruise of the Summer in Rosebud Plaza in Clarksburg on Sept. 22.
Answer: Well, when you're in middle school, you're learning about not only your friends, but yourself. It's such an awkward stage, with everyone changing at different speeds, and puberty, and the whole lot. I've always done my own thing and never cared about how others viewed me. But at any age, you're going to meet people who want you to succeed and care about you, and you're going to meet people who want to bring you down or think they're better than everybody else. That bothers me. There were times where I felt I wasn't treated fairly, so I wrote songs about how I felt. I've always been a very passionate person, and I've always had the ideal of everyone being treated equally. So that's where I found my inspiration, people treating me badly and putting me through pain and watching others go through the same thing.
Graffiti: What was the inspiration for your latest album? Why the title, "No Princess?"
Answer: There were a lot of things that went into it. Like I said earlier, I don't like seeing others being treated unfairly, or people telling me what to do or acting like they're better than me. But it's basically just whenever I found inspiration from an event in my life. Even though the majority of the songs are angsty and in-your-face, there are some others that are more uplifting, and some maybe that are a little darker. "No Princess" is actually the oldest song on the album - I wrote it in seventh grade and it's about not wanting to fit in with everybody else and not caring what others thought about me. Which is basically my motto about life. Someone gave me the idea that "No Princess" should also be the album title, which made perfect sense because it describes who I am and it contains the biggest message throughout the album: I'm gonna be who I want, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
Graffiti: When did you start learning to sing and play piano?
Answer: I've been singing since the day I was born, I'm fairly sure. My dad has tapes of me singing in his old recording studio, and videos of me at the age of about four or five jumping up and down on the bed singing songs from the Disney movie "Mulan." I began taking voice lessons when I was 11. My dad got me a light-up keyboard when I was about six, and I started taking lessons and learning really basic songs. I learned a lot on my own, though, like "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. It just kinda took off from there.
Graffiti: What kind of music do you like to listen to? Who are your idols or inspiration?
Answer: I listen to a lot of rock, pop, punk, alternative, metal, etc. I like most genres of music, but the rock/alternative stuff is what I mainly listen to, especially pop/punk bands like My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Green Day, Fall Out Boy. I have a lot of idols, like Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, Hayley Williams of Paramore, Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, Grace Potter, Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson of Heart, and many others. But the main two that really inspired me to take off with my piano playing and songwriting are Amy Lee of Evanescence and Vanessa Carlton. The reason they're the most important to me is because they're both women who know what they want, they're both extremely talented, and they are both like me: singer, songwriter, pianist. They showed me ways to make piano playing interesting and inspired me musically and lyrically. They're unique and insanely talented, and I would love to meet them one day.
Graffiti: What kind of role have your parents and family played in your musical life?
Answer: Everything! My dad produced, mixed, recorded, and played guitar and bass on the album. I never would have been able record this CD without him. He's always playing music for us, since we were little kids. We would listen to The Beatles as we made pancakes in the morning. He got me started playing piano when I was really little. My mom's also been the most supportive mother I could ask for. She's signed me up for lessons, performances, musicals, anything that would encourage me to continue music. My little sisters have always been into music as well. My middle sister, Hannah, can play about six different instruments, and we're in a rock band together where she plays drums. She plays bass guitar for live performances of the album. And my youngest sister, Erica, is learning how to play bass, and she sings and is joining band in middle school. I've been surrounded by music my entire life.
Graffiti: What's your ideal end-game plan with your career? Any big goals you'd like to achieve, like a specific record deal or playing at a certain venue? Would you like to attend college?
Answer: My absolute biggest dream in life is to be a professional songwriter and musician and tour the world. But whose isn't? I don't really have a specific label in mind, but I do like a lot of bands from Warner Brothers, Fueled By Ramen, etc. One of my biggest dreams is to one day have an album produced by Rob Cavallo and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, who appear on half the albums I buy. I'd love to see other countries and play there and experience their culture. But since the chances of all that are one in a million, my plan as of right now is to go to WVU, get into medical school and hopefully become a neurologist. In any event, singing, playing piano, and songwriting will always be a part of my life somehow.
Graffiti: If you had any advice for other young musicians just starting out, what would it be?
Answer: First of all, you have to practice your butt off if you want to get better. You can't really just show up and have others spoon feed you all the time. Find a genre you really like, find some artists that involve the instrument you play, and just work hard to learn it. The feeling you get when you learn a song you love is wonderful. Start out with easy stuff and work your way up to the hard stuff. You're not going to be able to play Rush or Van Halen if you've only been playing for a few months. There are two ways to learn music: sheet music and learning by ear. Listen to others, especially people who are older and more experienced than you, because even though you've got that part down pat in your head, someone else might know how to make you sound better. That especially goes for songwriters. Experiment with other styles of music and other ways of playing - you could learn a lot. And most importantly, do what you want. Don't let others tell you what to sing or play, what genre you should perform. It's your life. You don't have to appease anybody. The most important thing you can do with your music is to be yourself. Yeah, you should listen to others, and have famous musicians you look up to and want to learn from, but never copy anybody. We don't wanna hear another John Lennon or Kurt Cobain. We wanna hear something new. We wanna hear YOU.
Graffiti: What can we expect next from you? More shows? Another album? More videos? What's next for Brooke Cottrill?
Answer: Now that the album is out, I am playing live shows to support the CD. I want to keep scheduling more shows. We shot the first video, Heartache, with our own camcorders and put it on Youtube. We are definitely going to shoot more videos for some of the other tracks on the CD. I am continuing to write songs. I'm fairly sure we have more in the works, but you can stay in tune with what I'm doing through www.brookecottrill.com and my Facebook page.

Mary Jo Foley reports that "CloudDB is a file-system-based storage system ... 'Blue' also seems to refer to the query processor that builds on top of the cheap, file-system-based storage enabled by CloudDB."
That sounds quite similar to BigTable, a distributed database built on top of GFS.
It seems hard to track down any other information about this effort. I was able to find a Microsoft job posting for a senior SDE that says:
Our team is building a geo-distributed, reliable and high performance internet facing service. You will help internal and external partners to realize Microsoft's vision of seamless access to your data - anywhere, anytime, any device.From that description, it sounds like Microsoft's CloudDB may be intended to compete with several efforts, including Amazon S3, AOL's XDrive, the Yahoo-supported Hadoop, and Google's BigTable, Google File System, and GDrive.
You will learn about the Blue/CloudDB storage system, you will work on an API definition, solve problems around security and Quality of Service guarantees.
Do you find it fascinating to build a service that is scalable, geo-distributed, has efficient queuing, load balancing? We will solve together problems about performance, reliability and intelligent optimization for different traffic patterns. The product will be used also by internal Windows Live Services and you will have the opportunity to interact with multiple groups in the company that need easy, efficient and simple storage in the cloud.
Join us and help Microsoft go head to head with Amazon, Google, and Yahoo in cloud storage.
I am not even sure if it is from Microsoft, but I did also find something that looks like a leak of some pieces of an internal document called "CloudDB Living Spec v0.51.doc". The web page mentions the needs of Microsoft services (including MSN Shopping and Fremont/Expo) and echos terminology used in Google's BigTable paper. Some selected excerpts:
SSTable's efficient data is less than 40%, column name occupy much room in each item. Maybe we should use the column id to reduce this part of overload.
Sparse columns baked into the app. This scenario arises when an MSN service defines a large set of potential attributes for a type of an object, but only very few of these attributes are expected to be set on any given object.
For example ... [in] MSN Shopping ... the total set of attributes that products can have (e.g. "Pixel Resolution") is very large, but any given product only has a few (a vacuum cleaner doesn't have 'Pixel Resolution').
[A] service wants to be able to add 'attributes' to people, without having to waste space in every person for every attribute ... The most prominent example of this is Freemont --- this service wants to allow users to add their own columns to their listings. The total number of columns used across all objects can be huge (millions).
Note: Google Base advertises support (and is optimized) for cases where even a single object can have millions of columns.

Two just published studies uncovered that happiness boosts productivity and lifespan. In fact, a happy employee is approximately 12 to 25% more productive. On the other hand, one unhappy employee, making a salary of $65,000 dollars a year can cost a company about $4000 dollars in lost productivity a year. Now imagine a company of 50 or 100 unhappy employees and how much that can hurt.
So how do we make people happy? Sometimes the things we think are going to make us happier, don't in fact make us any happier.
Brain science is uncovering, the surprising secrets to boosting happiness and productivity in ourselves and those around us. Interestingly, the answer isn't just money. Instead the solutions are found in how your brain really works and creating healthy environments. Discover the scientifically proven, surprising and actionable ways to boost happiness, productivity and wellness.
There's a lot of information out there about how our lifestyle affects our health as well as other aspects of our brain's health. Unfortunately, some of what is being reported is filled with inaccurate information and marketing that has little to no science behind it. And few are talking about what may be the most mind-blowing factor of all: the gut.
In this talk, Dr. Milstein shares the latest breakthrough on how your gut affects your memory, mood, anxiety, depression, weight and aspects of your health we never imagined. The link between your gut and your brain is one of the most revolutionary, surprising areas of science and medicine today. Hear the scoop on the scientifically valid ways you can optimize your gut/brain health, and what is just myth, hype, and marketing.
Dr. Milstein was recently featured on the Dr. Oz show discussing "The Surprising Link Between Your Gut, Your Brain, Your Stress and Your Health and How to Have a Healthy Gut."
Rob Symon, an event planner in Australia called this presentation, "world class, powerful" and "steeped in practical, quality information."
Stress has become an epidemic in our country, with more than ¾ of the United States experiencing physical symptoms as a result of stress. It can be a debilitating and even life-threatening condition and yet few people know how to manage it effectively.
Attendees of this talk walk away with lifesaving, take-home tips to gain control over their stress and anxiety.
Countless evaluations have called this talk the best talk they ever attended. (Conference evaluations available on request). At recent conference of over 1000 attendees in Colorado, the meeting planner, Meghann Post called this presentation, "a fantastic kickoff to our conference!"
Millions of Americans struggle with their sleep, whether they don't sleep long enough or the quality of the sleep is poor. This can not only create fatigue but can lead to illness and a deterioration of one's brain.
Dr. Milstein presents this talk to doctors around the world as well as to hundreds of companies and groups. Regardless of the science background of the audience, they will walk away with actionable, take- home tips that they can start using that day to help them get the best night's sleep.
Kyle Armstrong, the meeting planner at McMaster University called this presentation, "incredible, witty and insightful."
The statistics are staggering. 47 million people have dementia worldwide, and that number is expected to skyrocket to 115 million people by 2050. Recent studies estimate that about a third of dementia is preventable if actionable steps are taken.
But what kind of actions? There is so much more to keeping your brain in tip-top-shape and lowering your risk for dementia than crossword puzzles, brain games and Sudoku. Breakthrough research is uncovering the surprising, key actionable steps to boost your brain and keep it working better, longer.
Hear the scoop on scientifically valid, actionable tips to optimize your brain health and what is just myth, hype and marketing.
Lea Osborne, the meeting planner for the Health Care Association of Michigan called this presentation "a home run" and said she received "rave reviews."
Anyone responsible for managing a team at their organization knows how difficult it can be to keep employees motivated and thinking both critically and innovatively throughout the work day.
Dr. Milstein gives this scientifically-based but highly engaging talk to major corporations, medium-sized companies, and small businesses so that they can boost leadership, focus, communication, motivation and decision making.
Nathan Kim, a meeting planner in South Korea, called this presentation "wonderful, engaging" and "a great contribution to our conference's success."

Hospitality Association blames exchange rate for making things expensive for tourists.
New Zealand is the third-most expensive place in the world to visit based on the prices of meals, drinks and other tourist items, says a British survey.
And it is the most expensive place to have a drink of Coca-Cola, it says.
The Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer by the British Post Office, a survey of 42 countries, found South Korea was the dearest destination and Spain the cheapest.
Eight costs were compared: a coffee, a beer, a packet of cigarettes, a can of Coke, a glass of wine, suncream, a bottle of water, and a three-course meal for two.
New Zealand was in the top three for Coke, cigarettes, wine and dinner. After Spain, the cheapest country was Sri Lanka.
Hospitality Association chief executive Bruce Robertson said New Zealand's climbing exchange rate had simply made everything expensive for visitors. "The UK has been our big market, and our dollar has strengthened against the pound.
"It's not like anyone's making extensive profits from any of those commodities. It's what we have to charge - for a handle of beer or a cup of coffee.
"The hospitality industry is one of the least profitable industries. Nobody's price-gouging here. It's what it costs to deliver the product."
For visitors, businesses needed to make sure customer service was exceptional, because in relative terms their products were high priced.
"We've got to be focused on delivering a quality product. We're an exciting place for visitors, an aspirational destination... We've got to make sure the experience is outstanding so the pricing is nothing to quibble about."
Most items in the survey were four times more expensive in New Zealand than the cheapest destinations.
Cigarettes were 13 times dearer than in Vietnam, and Coke was 92 per cent more than the world average.
Previous Herald reports have found the price local beers, wines and fish to be more expensive in New Zealand than abroad.
Flights are dearer when bought in New Zealand, and books, mobile phone charges and clothes are often vastly more expensive.
Ahead of the Rugby World Cup two years ago, New Zealand faced some overseas criticism for being a "rip-off".

A San Francisco Bay Area DUI lawyer argues that law enforcement officers are abusing distracted driving laws to engage in unwarranted vehicle searches. He points out the unexpected civil rights ramifications of laws designed to make roads safer.
The lawyer, Peter Johnson, spoke to the San Francisco Chronicle, addressing the how laws banning talking on the phone, texting and eating behind the wheel give police more power to justify conduct that threatens Fourth Amendment rights protecting U.S. citizens against unreasonable searches.
People are stopped every day for suspected cell phone use or other diversions and then subjected to interrogation for unrelated matters and to searches of their automobiles and of their person. Without question driving while texting is dangerous, but an additional risk not considered by most people is the effect of increased regulation further eroding our civil rights?
Distracted driving is a serious problem in America, and in California especially, where 68,000 drivers were issued citations just last month. Talking on a phone behind the wheel is often considered worse than driving drunk, and the same can be said for texting.
Any law that enables pretext stops will inevitably be abused by some law enforcement officers. (How many DUIs started with a dirty-license-plate stop, for example.) The question is, is the threat of distracted driving worth the risk posed to our civil rights?

The new year presents an opportunity for building a clean government accountable to the people, Public Service and Administration Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said on Sunday.
"To serve one's country is the greatest one can expect. This privilege falls squarely on those in the public service," she said in her festive message to public servants.
"It is a responsibility that we embrace not grudgingly but enthusiastically. After 18 years of democratic government, our people's patience with shoddy service is wearing thin. But they have not given up. The widespread protests are an expression of frustration in as much as they are indicative of their faith in government."
She thanked all public servants for their hard work in 2012. "We had quite a remarkable year, culminating in a multi-year wage agreement, endorsed by all public sector unions and peacefully supported by all public servants."
She said three government departments – home affairs, health and defence – had made huge strides towards the goal of ensuring access to and services for all.
Department of home affairs commended
She said the department of home affairs, under the leadership of Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma who is now chairwoman of the African Union commission, managed to change the department of horror affairs, as a member of parliament referred to it, to the department of home affairs which citizens were proud of.
"Public comments confirmed that the citizens of South Africa have confidence in the department of home affairs." She said the department of health was recognised by the United Nations for significantly reducing incidents of HIV in South Africa.
She praised the department of defence for achieving its first clean audit since 1990, in the 2011/ 2012 financial year.
"It is the commitment of the staff of the department that made this possible and I am particularly grateful that I can lay claim to such an achievement in my time. The staff of the department of defence made me proud.
"This lays a basic, fundamental requirement that all Accounting Officers should have clean audits." She said all government departments should have clean audits.
Sisulu served as defence minister until June this year, when she was appointed public service and administration minister. – Sapa

What Participants Say
"I expected to get a 'pre-recorded' and 'scripted' class. Instead, I got a collaborative experience, which was worlds better than the typical trainings I've sat through."
"Very practical and helpful information. It actually applies to more than just in the workforce. This class was very interactive, which helped our team significantly in learning and applying the material."
Other Advantages
HIGH RETENTION: Agile For All trainers use accelerated learning techniques like Training From The Back Of The Room to present the course material in brain-friendly ways that help you maximize learning and retention.

We couldn't take it anymore. The backyard-built cowl hood and bland no-go-fast looks just had to be replaced. Plus, the passenger-side fender was diagnosed with rot and couldn't be revived without a bit of reconstructive surgery. Also, while the one-piece bumper and single-headlight setup has its place, we really dig the RS split-bumper look and had to have it.
Aside from, say, lopping off the front end of the car with a large automotive trebuchet and starting over, we had a remedy in mind that wouldn't involve much of anything except a little patience and elbow grease. Thankfully though, these days nearly all the body parts for most of our muscle cars can be replaced with a factory-fit, leaving your sled looking fresh as the day it entered the showroom.
For the new panels, we headed over to Classic Industries in Huntington Beach, California. Think of it as a one-stop shop. Carefully scrutinizing the company's catalog, we found everything we needed for the swap. To say that Classic has a plethora of parts in its inventory for a second-gen would be an understatement. Everything-and we mean everything-was there, including the bolts needed for assembly.
Getting the job done right was our next step. If bodywork isn't quite your forte, leave the job to a competent race shop or the like. In our case, we left all the replacement body panel work for Lou's Performance in Sun Valley, California. We made an appointment with Dr. Lou at his shop, and he and the boys took a full day and put F73 under the knife for its facelift. No anesthesia needed, just the tried and true method of remove and replace.
In the end we not only saved a bit of weight by replacing the hood, but we've got a more desirable-looking '73 Camaro. The split bumper and dual light fixtures on both sides really bring the looks and attributes of the classic Camaro alive. All our second-gen needs now is a little body filler and the shiny stuff. Follow along as we go through the details and show you what to expect before you attempt your own RS conversion.
Quick Notes
What We Did
Converted the straight-bumper-look over to an RS assembly with Classic Industries components and finished it up with a 3-inch Harwood cowl hood.
Bottom line
We're on our way to a mean-looking second-gen.
$1,650 for RS conversion, $309 for Harwood Hood plus optional springs.

Today, this huge franchise has a profound global impact and has more than 8,900 corporate and franchise stores in more than 65 countries.
It all started in the year 1960, when two brothers named Tom and James Monaghan bought a small pizzeria in Michigan by the name of Dominick's Pizza. They bought it for $500 and gave a down payment of $75. After 8 months, James quit and traded his shares with his brother for a second hand Volkswagen car. This led Tom to revitalize the image of the eating joint and name it Domino's Pizza.

OTTAWA, March 14 (UPI) -- New home prices in Canada rose 0.1 percent December to January and have risen 2.2 percent over 12 months, Statistics Canada said Thursday.
Toronto and Oshawa, both in Ontario, and the region of Calgary pushed the index higher, the data agency said.
Market conditions contributed to higher prices in Toronto and Oshawa, while increased costs for building materials and labor added to prices in Calgary, builders reported.
Charlottetown on the south shore of Prince Edward Island saw the largest monthly price increase, up 1 percent. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, new home prices rose 0.9 percent.
Month-to-month prices dropped 0.2 percent in Ottawa-Gatineau, that region's first decline since May 2011.
The agency's new home price index for January came in at 109.1. It is based on the average index reading for 2007, which was assigned a value of 100.

A 65-year-old man has been jailed on $100,000 bail after Butler police say he offered two teenage girls a ride in his vehicle Sunday afternoon.
Edward L. Osche of Butler Township is charged with two counts each of attempting to lure a child into a vehicle, child endangerment, disorderly conduct and harassment.
Police said the 14- and 13-year-old girls reported that they were walking on the 300 block of East Brady Street about 2:15 p.m. when a man approached them.
The man was driving a small, red sport utility vehicle, according to court documents, and said, "Hey girls you want to get into the car?" They told him, "No thanks, bye."

Plus jetted across the Atlantic in February to attend the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Vancouver. Not only did we feast with (not on) jellyfish at the Vancouver Aquarium, we also found out how to lose weight, how to play Big Brother on the internet, and more...
Counting calories — Struggling with that new year's resolution to lose a few pounds? Weight not dropping off as fast as you'd expected? A new mathematical model has some good news and some bad news for you. Which would you like to hear first?
Rubber data — Data, data, data. 21st century life provides tons of it. It's paradise for researchers, or at least it would be if we knew how to make sense of it all. This year's AAAS annual meeting in Vancouver devoted plenty of time to the question of how to understand large amounts of data. And there's one method we particularly liked. It's based on the kind of idea that gave us the London tube map.
Counting deaths: war as a statistical problem — How many people died? It's one of the first questions asked in a war or violent conflict, but it's one of the hardest to answer. In the chaos of war many deaths go unrecorded and all sides have an interest in distorting the figures. The best we can do is come up with estimates, but the trouble is that different statistical methods for doing this can produce vastly different results . So how do we know how different methods compare?
The podcast: AAAS meeting day 1 — From flattening the Earth to dining with the jellyfish, Plus chats about the first day at the meeting.
The podcast: AAAS meeting day 2 — On the second day at the meeting we talked to Marcel Babin from the Université Laval. Babin uses satellite images to measure the amount of organisms, such as phytoplankton, in the Arctic ocean and studies how this changing biological diversity can both indicate, and impact on, climate change.
Probing the dark web: the podcast — Networks loomed large at the AAAS annual meeting in Vancouver, in particular the one you're looking at right now: the Internet. Plus went along to a session on web surveillance. It sounds sinister at first, but as we found out, it's not all about Big Brother breaching your privacy. Information on the web can help us catch terrorists and criminals and it can also identify a widespread practice called astroturfing.

NEW YORK — NHL players are a step closer to dissolving their union.
In a vote this week, union members overwhelmingly agreed to give the players' association's executive board the power to file a "disclaimer of interest" until Jan. 2.
A person familiar with the outcome of the vote told The Associated Press on Friday that the measure was approved by a vote of 706-22 (97 percent), easily reaching the two-thirds majority that was necessary. However, the executive board hasn't made plans yet to meet to discuss whether to file the disclaimer. If the Jan. 2 deadline passes, another authorization vote could be held to approve a later filing.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the results of the vote hadn't been announced.
If the executive board files the disclaimer, the union would dissolve and become a trade association. That would allow players to file antitrust lawsuits against the NHL.
Negotiations between the NHL and the union have been at a standstill since talks ended Dec. 6. No bargaining is scheduled, and time is running short to save the season. All games through Jan. 14 have been canceled, more than half the season. The New Year's Day Winter Classic and All-Star game already are victims of the lockout.
A new labor agreement would need to be in place by about that time to salvage a 48-game schedule, the minimum in commissioner Gary Bettman's opinion for the season to proceed.
The NHL is already the only North American professional sports league to cancel a season because of a labor dispute, losing the 2004-05 campaign to a lockout.
The NHLPA now appears set to follow the lead set by NFL and NBA players. Both dissolved their unions during lockouts last year.
The legality of the lockout is already set to be tried in U.S. federal court after the NHL filed a class-action lawsuit last week against the NHLPA. The NHL also submitted an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board.
The NBA's labor dispute ended less than two weeks after the union was disbanded. Jeffrey Kessler, the lead negotiator for the National Basketball Players Association in that dispute, contends the NHLPA would be wise to go ahead with the "disclaimer of interest."
"I think this is much more likely to lead to a settlement sooner," Kessler told The Canadian Press last week. "The players have concluded that they are on the verge of possibly deciding that it is better not to be a union and using the antitrust laws to attack the lockout, which all fans should be happy with because it'll work."
The league's Board of Governors discussed the possibility of a "disclaimer of interest" on Dec. 5, and Bettman said the NHL didn't see it as a significant threat.
"We don't view it in the same way in terms of its impact as apparently the union may," Bettman said.

The Science of Forming
Why Work Hardening Is So Important
|Fig. 1—Schematic a shows how zone B continues to deform to failure at a constant stress, while zones A and C remain elastic. Schematic b shows the resulting severe strain gradient.
Assume a sample of steel without any work hardening capacity is being stretched (sketch inserted into Fig. 1a). The sample has a constant cross-section from end A to end C except at zone B. Here a scratch, slight reduction in thickness, or some other reason creates a reduced cross-section at zone B. Since stress is pulling force divided by cross-sectional area, the stress level at B is higher than the rest of the sample. To initiate deformation, the pulling force is slowly increased and then halted when zone B reaches the yield strength. Since the remainder of the sample (zones A and C) has less applied stress, these locations are still in the elastic region (see data points on the stress-strain curve in Fig. 1a.) However, once started zone B continues to elongate and reduce its cross-section, thereby moving to the right along the flat stress-strain curve. This deformation continues until the sample breaks at zone B.
Since the rest of the sample is still in the elastic region, the stress goes back to zero and any elastic deformation is reversed as the sample breaks. This results in a very severe and highly localized strain gradient (Fig. 1b). The average useful stretch over the entire length of the sample is almost zero, making steel without work hardening useless for almost all practical stampings containing a tensile force. This includes the outer fibers of a bending operation that also are subjected to stretching.
|Fig. 2—Schematic a shows work hardening forces zones A and C to follow zone B up the stress-strain curve as the tensile force is increased. The strain distributions in schematic b remain almost flat at different amounts of deformation.
The equation describing the rate of work hardening is , where s is the true stress, K is a material constant, e is the true strain and n is the work hardening exponent. A nigh n-value means a higher rate of strain hardening. In contrast to the zero work hardening capability described above, sheetmetal with work hardening has a drastically different deformation sequence.
Using the same deformation mode in the above example (Fig. 2b), the higher stress in zone B again causes this zone to reach the yield strength first and deform. However, because of work hardening, the strength in zone B increases and the deformation stops. To continue deformation, the tensile force on the sample must be increased. Now all zones plastically deform, work harden and climb up the stress-strain curve (Fig. 2a). The strain gradient is zero except for the small bump at zone B (Fig. 2b). The tensile load must be increased to continue further deformation. Each increase in load creates the same deformation pattern but at higher levels of strain. Under these conditions, a very high average strain (useful deformation) can be attained in the sample before the failure limit is reached.
|Fig. 3—The higher rate of work hardening (higher n-value) in schematic a allows the same stress increase to be attained with less strain. This reduces the severity of the strain gradient (schematic b).
A material with a low amount of work hardening must undergo a large amount of strain before the rest of stamping can begin contributing to the deformation. In Fig. 3a, assume a stress level of x is required to yield the entire blank. The lower n-value sheetmetal must deform to a high strain level (L) to achieve a stress of x necessary to yield the rest of the blank. The high strain under the punch and the low strain in the rest of the blank create a severe strain gradient (Fig. 3b). However, a higher n-value sheetmetal (Fig. 3a) reaches the same stress level of x with a much smaller level of strain (H) that results in a lesser strain gradient (Fig. 3b).
A good understanding of work hardening is invaluable for design, tryout and production in press shops in most industries. Therefore, the discussion of work hardening and the associated n-value continues next month. Included topics are how n-value changes with different materials, strengths, processing and applications.

Valve is getting into the movie business, but not to develop any of its game IP for the big screen. Instead, a movie studio has figured out they can cut costs by using a game engine to create an animated movie.
Valve's Source engine has been licensed by Brown Bag Films and Shane Acker (director of the Tim Burton produced movie 9) to create the animated movie Deep. The movie is set in a world after World War III has happened and we have been forced to live underwater using sunken ships for shelter. The story revolves around Captain Sullivan who commands a nuclear sub and is determined to save a devastated earth.
Deep only has a budget of $19 million, which is a drop in the ocean compared to what someone like Disney must allocate for new projects. So Brown Bag had to think outside the box on how to cut corners and save money. A game engine like Source offers up many of the features required to make a movie, albeit it at a drastically reduced cost compared to typical industry tools.
As well as offering all the features and a rich set of tools to make the movie happen, using the Source engine brings with it two further advantages. The first is the ability to produce a game that reuses all the assets and looks just like the movie, again at a reduced cost and development time.
The second advantage has the potential to push Valve into a new market. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Valve opts to distribute Deep the movie alongside Deep the game on Steam. Movies on Steam? Why not?
Whatever the final look of Deep turns out to be, it's an interesting experiment that could lead to other movie studios trying the same thing in the future. You only have to view the quality of cutscenes being produced using game engines like Unreal Engine and CryEngine to know that movie-quality visuals won't be a problem.

Let me get this out before I have my dinner or I'll have indigestion.
So after loads and loads of trouble, I managed to find a business card company would would print some cards for me on the day and ship them out within 24 hours. I had to do a lot of research, make a lot of calls because not many companies will print that quickly for you.
Basically I have an event on this week I need a load of business cards for – as amazing as moo.com etc. are, they don't offer a 24 hour turnaround service.
So everything went well after many calls to the company, cards printed, cut, boxed. They used a company called Fastway Couriers to deliver.
Hmm. Right away, alarm bells were ringing, so Mr C gave them a call in the morning to make sure everything was as planned, and that they knew we had a courier who is always there to accept deliveries. Mr Courier man seemed fine with everything…
So did they deliver today?! No! Of course not!
Not only did they not deliver, they didn't even attempt to deliver (no card left) all phones have been turned off at the company. They have no depot, if they did I could go and collect. Nope – Fastway couriers is a franchise. I am at the mercy of the Mr Courier man.
How peeved am I?! After all that time, work and money that went into getting these cards ready it's gone to pot because of some Fastway couriers can't do what they are supposed to do: deliver stuff! Royal Mail would have done better. Home Delivery Network could do better, and that is like, a major diss!

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was concluded in October 2015 between the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim countries: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
Indonesia and Taiwan declared their intention to join in. The treaty has yet to be ratified.
The investment chapter has revealed the deal includes investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). Civil society groups have blasted the mechanism, as it gives a foreign investor or company disproportionate powers vis-à-vis governments or domestic companies. Foreign investors would be able to bypass national justice courts and resort to a parallel system of justice specifically made for them.
Public health, the environment and other public-interest 'safeguards' would be undermined under the ISDS provisions in the TPP.

Very Rev. Paul Lazor
John and Paraskeva Skvir Lecturer in Practical Theology
Dean of Students
Books & Publications
Fr Paul Lazor is a priest of the Orthodox Church in America. He was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in 1964 by Archbishop JOHN of San Francisco. He is a native of Canonsburg, PA, and a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where he obtained a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. His theological education was completed at St Vladimir's Seminary (Master of Divinity). He and his wife, Natalia (Manturoff), married since 1964, have three children and six grandchildren.
Fr Paul served as a parish priest for thirteen years, holding pastorships at the SS Cyril and Methodius Church in Milwaukee, WI, and the Holy Trinity Church in New Britain, CT. His blessings from those years of parish ministry are many. Among them is the fact that he has already performed marriages for people whom he baptized as infants and whose parents he both received into the Church and joined in matrimony.
Even during his student years Fr Lazor's love and dedication toward the work of St Vladimir's Seminary were evident. He was a member of three consecutive Seminary summer octets and served as ecclesiarch of the school's Chapel. In 1969 he was asked to join the Seminary Faculty on a part-time basis. In 1977 he was appointed as the Dean of Students and became a full-time member of the Seminary's staff and a lecturer on the faculty. He currently teaches regularly in the areas of Liturgics, Practical (Pastoral) Theology, Liturgical Theology, Church Slavonic, and Russian.
As an author, translator and editor Fr Paul has produced numerous articles, tracts, booklets of liturgical services and several introductions to books of other writers. His largest work is the book, Evening Worship in the Orthodox Church, an edited translation (with introduction) of three articles by Prof. Nicholas Uspensky. His article, "Pastoral Care Today," appeared the St Vladimir's Quarterly in 1996.
Archpriest Paul Lazor has also served in several capacities in church-wide ministries on both the diocesan and national Church levels. He is a frequently invited speaker at retreats and conferences sponsored by Orthodox parishes and institutions throughout the United States (including Alaska) and Canada. He has also lectured at Orthodox theological institutions in Russia and Slovakia.
On November 19, 2004, the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church in America awarded Fr Lazor a GRAMOTA (Special Citation) marking his forty years of dedicated ministry as an ordained priest.
