Study finds central image of Aztec sun stone shows dying sun god killed by eclipse
March 27th, 2017GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A new study on one of the most important remaining artifacts from the Aztec Empire, a 24-ton basalt calendar stone, interprets the stone's central image as the death of the sun god Tonatiuh during an eclipse, an event Aztecs believed would lead to a global apocalypse accompanied by earthquakes.
Many scientists believe the heart of the stone to be the face of Tonatiuh (pronounced toe-NAH-tee-uh), atop which Aztecs offered human sacrifices to stave off the end of the world. Researcher Susan Milbrath, a Latin American art and archaeology curator (more…)
New beer with augmented reality label supports endangered Miami blue butterfly
March 21st, 2017GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Museum of Natural History is partnering with First Magnitude Brewing Co. on a new limited-edition beer to help conserve the critically endangered Miami blue butterfly.
Miami Blue Bock, a medium-bodied, malty, golden lager, will debut during a special event Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. at First Magnitude, 1220 SE Veitch St. Entry is free. Drafts and six-packs of the beer will be discounted with the purchase of a $10 wristband.

Mollusk graveyards are time machines to oceans' pristine past
February 28th, 2017GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A Florida Museum of Natural History study shows that mollusk fossils provide a reliable measure of human-driven changes in marine ecosystems and shifts in ocean biodiversity.
Collecting data from the shells of dead mollusks is a low-impact way of glimpsing how oceans looked before pollution, habitat loss, acidification and explosive algae growth threatened marine life worldwide. Mollusk fossils can inform current and future conservation and restoration efforts, said Michal Kowalewski, the Jon L. and Beverly A. Thompson Chair of Invertebrate Paleontology and the study's principal investigator.
"You can think of these fossils as marine time machines that can unveil bygone habitats that existed before humans altered them," he said. "Shells can help us understand past marine life and more precisely gauge recent changes in marine ecosystems. Fossils are the only direct way of learning what these ecosystems looked like before human activities disturbed them."
Florida Museum to host 40th annual herpetological conference

Extinct tortoise from Bahamas yields oldest tropical DNA
February 10th, 2017An extinct tortoise species that accidentally tumbled into a water-filled limestone sinkhole in the Bahamas about 1,000 years ago has finally made its way out, with much of its DNA intact.
As the first sample of ancient DNA retrieved from an extinct tropical species, this genetic material could help provide insights into the history of the Caribbean tropics and the reptiles that dominated them, said University of Florida ornithologist David Steadman. It could also offer clues to the region's future, as the tropics undergo significant transformation due to climate change.
"This is the first time
anyone has been able to put a tropical species into an evolutionary context with molecular data," said Steadman, an ornithology curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the UF campus and co-author of the study discussing the finding.
"And being able to fit together the tortoise's evolutionary history together will help us better understand today's tropical species, many of which are endangered."
He called the finding "boundary-pushing" and said (more…)

Reliance Industries posted a 27.8 percent rise in quarterly profit on Saturday, in line with expectations, on rising revenues from refining and oil and gas production.
Net profit for the July-September quarter was 49.2 billion rupees ($1.1 billion), up from 38.5 billion rupees in the year-ago period. Revenues rose 27.8 percent, 574.8 billion rupees ($13.0 billion), up from 468.5 billion rupees a year ago, slightly missing expectations.
A CNBC-TV18 poll had forecast sales of 583.5 billion rupees ($13.2 billion) and profit of 49.2 billion rupees ($1.1 billion). Reliance Industries is India's largest listed company. It has been looking beyond its core interests in petrochemicals and oil and gas to fast-growing sectors like telecom.
It is also keen to go global. This year, it has signed joint ventures with three U.S. shale gas companies, which together are the largest investment ever by an Indian company in the United States.

This old renovated house is situated in the medieval capital of Amorgos, beneath the venetian castle, dating back to the 13th century. It is quite comfortable, ideal for families or friends, consisting of 2 bedrooms, a large living room with a special dining area, a kitchen and a bathroom.There is a little terrace where the guests can relax and enjoy the view or even have a meal. Although it is close to the centre of the village, it is also extremely quiet and a relaxing holiday is quarantied. Walking along the beautiful, narrow, stone paved streets, among the picturesque, white houses, tightly hugging each other and sometimes forming arcades above the lanes, will take you back to the past, at a time when the residents escaped pirate attacks, passing from one roof to another, until they finally found safety on the castle. The numerous churches scattered among the houses complete the magic and everything looks as if it was a film scenery. Hora is only 2 kilometres away from the unique monastery of Amorgos, which is clinged to the steep cliff, like an oyster, overlooking the infinite Aegean Sea. Furthermore, diving into the clear, blue, transparent water of Agia Anna below is an experience which will be always be remembered. Finally, Hora is ideal to set out for long walks along the paths to enjoy scenic views or visit archaeological sites.

If you have an AppleCare+ policy, you're going to like this.
Apple has quietly updated its AppleCare+ policy, extending the purchase window for iPhones from 60 days to one year. The change has been confirmed with a support rep, but is not yet showing up on Apple's official product page for AppleCare+.
If you go to Apple's eligibility tool and input your serial number from the iPhone's settings panel, you should be able to see a new purchase option so long as you purchased the device within the last year.
The change extends to Macs and Apple TV units, but Apple Watch and iPads are still restricted to 60 days following the purchase. Apple lowered the price of iPhone screen repairs from $99 to $29 last September, which helps as well.
In the event that your iPhone screen has been cracked, Apple requires a physical inspection to buy the service in-store...

The president and C.E.O. of Target, Gregg Steinhafel, fielded question after question about his company's $150,000 donation to an extremist right-wing group at Target's annual shareholder meeting yesterday. Several of Target's biggest investors, including some large pension funds, protested outside the meeting. Women's Wear Daily reports that Steinhafel "sound[ed] embattled and annoyed" by the questioning. "I think we've sufficiently addressed that topic," Steinhafel replied to an investor who asked how Target could have "such an enormous blind spot" as to not research the extremist anti-gay group, Minnesota Forward. "We listened, we evolved, we have the right processes," continued Steinhafel. "Does anybody have a question related to our business that's not related to political giving? I'd love to hear a question related to something else." [WWD]
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal has a long piece today that straight-up asks whether Target is "losing its cachet." While sales of basic, unsexy items are relatively strong, sales of the slightly pricier and more "stylish" home goods and fashion items that Target has always relied upon for fat profits and to set itself apart from Wal-Mart are sluggish. Overall, the corporation's same-store sales rose just 2% over last year during the first quarter. Analysts are concerned that Target, in aggressively expanding into razor-thin-margin grocery goods during the recession, may have attracted too many lower-income shoppers; Target, ahem, targets the slightly better-off folks who go in for some light bulbs and come out with a cute set of glassware or a nice beach towel. (The median household income of a Target shopper is still $60,000, which is higher than Wal-Mart's.) (Translation: oh noes, too many poor people are ruining Target!) And now that stores like Macy's and J.C. Penney have their own limited-edition designer collaborations, Target has competition at the higher end, too. It's strange (or not, considering this is the Journal) that this story doesn't mention two things: the controversial political donations, and Target's long (but recently well-publicized) battles with the unions that would like to organize its underpaid workforce. (Working at Target, as we know, can be hell.) For people who think themselves politically liberal, Wal-Mart has earned a reputation as a union-busting, Main-Street-killing, profiteering corporate hydra, while Target has been considered a kinder, gentler, designer-y-er retail safe space. Perhaps it's merely that calculus that's changing, and that un-earned reputation that's fading. [WSJ]

I'm trying to install Thief: the dark project on my windows 7. This is what I've done so far:
1. I've installed thief using the "d:\setup.exe -lgntforce" trick.
2. I've installed the 1.33 patch
3. I've installed the tfix: unofficial patch for thief 1/gold.
Am I forgetting something? As a result, I get as far as the menu after clicking on the thief.exe file. Up until this point, everything seems to work fine. However, as soon as I click on "start training" or "skip training", the game crashes. Also the movies don't work, and the options screens are quite buggy.
Can anyone please help me install Thief 1? I'll try to install Thief 2 afterwards.
you have the french version, I assume? currently, TFix only fully supports the english version. try opening your install.cfg in notepad and change language english to language french.I could add support for the french version, but I will need your help, see here.
if you are running the english version, try renaming LGVID.AX to _LGVID.AX, that will disable movies, and hopefully get you ingame. also, make sure that you are running the game as admin, and that the game is not installed in program files.
Eh, good question. I bough this laptop because it was lightweight and very efficient with writing software. It says core i3 on it, does that mean anything? I'm a noob when it comes to hardware, I know...
Actually, no. I actually use an English version ("sold out software" edition). But I could try to get the French and German versions too, if you want.
I renamed the .ax file, but the result is always the same, unfortunately. As soon as I click "start training" or "skip training", the game crashes. Also, I am indeed running the game as admin, and it is in my otherwise empty d:/ drive.
I used to get it working fin on vista, by following this tutorial. It appears, however, that this is no longer valid for windows 7...
hmm, strange, I see no reason why the game shouldn't work. try using the hdradeon_winxp fix (included with TFix in the archive). make sure to go through the readme.
I just tried this too. Nothing changed, the game still crashes at the exact same moment. I have the impression the hdradeon_winxp did nothing, because when I opened the DarkWidescreen file, nothing happened.
Also, I repeat I'm using windows 7 and not xp (I never had any problems when I had xp, or even vista for that matter).
Finally, I just uninstalled everything and started over, but the result is still the same. Here are the details regarding the error:

well this certainly does not sound right.
I would try this:
-wipe everything clean again
-install thief
-install TFix
-install the hdradeon_winxp fix (this is an older version of ddfix that sometimes works better)
make sure to run everything (DarkWidescreen.bat as well) as admin.
what kind of graphics card do you have, btw?
I'm not sure i understand what you're telling me to do. I've already tried that, as I've indicated above... Am I misunderstanding/forgetting/neglecting anything?
Windows doesn't allow me to select the "run in admin" for the darkwidescreen file...
Good question... there's a sticker with nvidia geforce GT520M on my laptop, does that help?
Last edited by all; 30th Jul 2012 at 08:08.
plenty of us have got it working with Windows 7, so that shouldn't be the issue per se
The Keep for Thief 1 and 2 FMs, Shadowdark for Thief 3 and Dark Mod FMs
You've started all over again from scratch?
This utility should help with the 'run as Admin' problem.
Edit. I've used it myself and it's simple to download and install.
Also, where are you installing to? It shouldn't be in Program Files. Also see this.
Edit again. See program files no-no has already been mentioned.
Last edited by nickie; 30th Jul 2012 at 08:35.
yes,twicethrice now...
Thanks, I've downloaded this and attempted to open DarkWidescreen with it. However, nothing happens, still... or almost: for a split second, a window pops up, but it disappears before I have the opportunity to read its contents. So far I was able to glimpse the word "introuvable", which in English means "not found".
Still no luck. I've already checked the FAQ, but I'm assuming I missed something.
I've also tried applying the ddfix for T1. But this still doesn't change the outcome. Hence, so far:
1. I've installed thief using the "d:\setup.exe -lgntforce" trick.
2. I've installed the 1.33 patch
3. I've installed the tfix: unofficial patch for thief 1/gold.
4. I've installed the ddfix for Thief1
Am I doing too much? I remember it being much simpler to get thief running on vista...
Last edited by all; 30th Jul 2012 at 12:44. Reason: I want Thief! :(
ok when you run the game go to the task manager click on the processses then click on the Thief.exe file click set affinity if you have more then one core on your laptop it will show more than one checked uncheck all but one of them.
Also you may need to set the game to run in windows xp to do this click on the icon for thief goto properties click on combatablity mode click on windows xp I think service pack 3 also click disable visual themes. Lastly click apply. once you do this you should be able to play the game.
This is how I got it to work. Sorry if it doesn't work for you but this is the best way I can explain how to do it.
The weird thing about this new computer is that does not let me set the affinity... when I click on Thief.exe in the task manager (it actually shows as "thief.exe* 32", and then select "set affinity", a window pops up saying "accès refusé" or "access refused" in English. This is very surprising to me. However, in my opinion, this has very little to do with core affinity, since I can't even launch the game properly (as far as I know, dual core problems arise after a few seconds ingame, and not during the pre-game menus).
Yes, I've done that already. I've tried everything from Windows 98 to XP to Vista, and nothing works...
Has anyone else ever encountered anything like this?
To sum up the problem, as soon as I click on "skip training" or "start training", the game crashes...
I think your problem is that you are not the administartor or logged in as administrator. I'm actually glad you found wher eit was. I would say either log on as admin or go to the place you got your laptop and as them how to go by doing that. Or if you know who the admin is ask them to log on. Though I never seen access refused before I think this would fix it. Actually I had the same problems you did. When I hit training it would crash when i would skip training it would crash. The dual core is a problem. but not the menu's you should be able to at least go to that.
Also did you set the properties run as administrator this may allow you to set the affinty as well.
Just trying to think of things to help you out. I did have the same problems you did.
Sometimes you need to check to see if you are logged in as the administrator. Sometimes it will just log you on as yourself instead of the administrator. Without personally being there I don't know how to do it without being ther emyself. I'm doing the best I can to help you. I know how to make it work on my pc. I'll see if I can dig more on this for you about setting the affinity for you. Doing the best that I can. I honestly feel that if you can get this to one core it will work for you. I'm not 100% sure but I'm doing the best I can. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
EDIT: Here's what I found apparently you need to accept a UAC terms to be able to set the affinity. I think... I'm not 100% sure here's the information I found for you.
'Show processes from all users' Accept the UAC prompt.
This will run Task Manager with your administrator privileges. You should now be able to set affinity.

It's hard to say! I recently installed a TG on my Win 7 laptop and did nothing except set affinity.
In answer to your question about when it crashes with a dual core problem, it has always been on clicking 'skip training' or 'continue' for me. If you're denied access, you could try FlipTiB.
I would try a clean install + official patch, rename LGVID.AX, set the affinity (with FlipTiB for example) and see whether you get ingame or not. playing without any enhancements is still better than not playing at all.
check what kind of graphics card do you have and whether there is a newer driver available. also, try posting the contents of your install.cfg and cam.cfg.
Well at least you go that much. I don't know why it's not working. Are you setting the affinity at the main menu screen? That's all I can think of honestly. These are all my settings. 1. Run This program in compatibility mode for Windows Xp Service pack 3 disable visual themes run this program as an administrator.
Set Affinity at main menu screen to 1 core. Honestly this worked for me and all I did was the only official patch that came out for it, and mine works just fine.
I'm sure someone else could figure out why it's not working for you.
those cfgs are from a TFix install. seems like you have ended up with a botched/mixed install somehow. let's try it from the beginning: uninstall thief, delete the folder to get rid of all potential leftover files, install thief, set it to run on a single core, rename LGVID.AX and try running it. after that, post the contents of cam.cfg and install.cfg.
and, if you can, try updating your graphics card driver. and check whether miss1.mis and miss2.mis are in your thief folder.

Hey there .o/
Hmm as much as possible I'd advise to avoid using relative paths : they can lead, for example, to the game crashing if you run it from a shortcut which would not specify the working directory.
So I'd advise to search and replace those dots with the actual path where the game is installed, starting from the drive letter.
Guess it could be useful to get the complete error message ; try this :
1 - run cmd.exe
2 - navigate to the folder where the game is installed using a command such as :
cd /d "c:\program files (x86)\thief"
(of course, replace "c:\program files (x86)\thief" with whatever the real path is ; don't forget the " if it contains blank spaces)
3 - run "Darkwidescreen.bat" (type "darkwidescreen" and press Enter)
Then the window shouldn't close itself and you would be able to note the message.

Suntech Announces Update to Fourth Quarter 2006 and 2007 Guidance, Amendment to MSK Acquisition Agreement and an Update to its MSK Integration Plan
Posted on
WUXI, China, Feb 02, 2007 /Xinhua-PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP), one of the world's leading manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, announced today an update to its fourth quarter 2006 and 2007 guidance, an amendment to the original agreement for the acquisition of MSK Corporation, which was entered into in August 2006, setting the final purchase price for the remaining stake in MSK at $53 million, and an update on its integration initiatives for the MSK business.
For the year 2006, it is estimated that Suntech, including contribution from MSK, shipped around 157.5MW to 159MW, an increase from its original guidance of 130MW to 140MW. For the fourth quarter 2006, Suntech now estimates that its total production output, excluding contributions from MSK, will be in the range of 48MW to 49MW, compared to the original projection of 45MW to 46MW, and its total net revenues, excluding contribution from MSK, will be in the range of $188 million to $192 million, compared to the original projection of $166 million to $170 million. For the fourth quarter 2006, MSK's production output is estimated to be in the range of 6.5MW to 7MW, compared to the original projection of 14MW to 15MW. For the fourth quarter 2006, the revenue contribution from MSK is estimated to be between $30 million to $32 million, compared to the original projection of $60 million to $64 million, with a net loss contribution of between $3 million to $4 million after taking into effect the MSK minority interest.
For the first quarter 2007, Suntech currently projects that, including contribution from MSK, its total production output target is in the estimated range of 60MW to 62MW and its total net revenues target is in the estimated range of $220 million to $228 million. Such guidance takes into account the assumption that Suntech's total PV cell production capacity will remain constant at 270MW until the second quarter of 2007 when additional capacity is expected to become operational. In addition, the first quarter 2007 guidance also takes into account the shorter month of February and the Chinese New Year holiday. Suntech has increased its total PV cell production output target in 2007 from 250MW to 280MW. Suntech has also raised its expected 2007 year end PV cell production capacity target from 390MW to 420MW.
''We are very pleased with the results and accomplishments of our core business during 2006 which has increased our projected production output and capacity for 2007,'' said Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's chairman and CEO. ''We are taking proactive, quick and decisive action to reorient MSK's business to focus on its strengths and reduce its cost structure.''
On February 1, 2007, Suntech, MSK and MSK's remaining shareholders entered into an amendment to the original acquisition agreement. This amendment fixed the consideration payable for Suntech's eventual acquisition of the remaining one-third equity interest of MSK at $53 million. The consideration, payable in the form of Suntech shares based on a price of $29.00 per share, is fixed and is no longer tied to the future performance of MSK's business as stipulated in the original acquisition agreement. Subject to mutual agreement, however, the consideration may be payable in cash. The amendment will accelerate the integration of MSK into Suntech's existing operations, which has already commenced, with the acquisition of the remaining one-third interest in MSK expected to be completed in late 2007.
The downward adjustments to MSK's results reflect Suntech's planned rapid integration of MSK's operations and the strict cost-control measures implemented to date. Suntech is in the process of selectively replacing certain high-cost supply arrangements to leverage upon Suntech's superior scale and cost advantages. Starting from February 2007, in order to take advantage of Suntech's low cost manufacturing capabilities and operating experience, MSK has halted production in Japan and will move key production activities to China. These changes have had a net effect of decreases in MSK's actual and expected production output for the fourth quarter of 2006 and in 2007, respectively. Suntech expects MSK's operations will sustain a small net loss in the near term but these changes will result in a more cost effective MSK, which focuses on its core strength, the higher value added BIPV products.
MSK will continue to be preserved as a brand and its customer base will continue to be supported. MSK will focus its resources on its core BIPV strength, on continuing to engage in innovative BIPV product development and on increasing its sales and marketing initiatives with a goal to expanding the market reach of its BIPV products in Japan and beyond to other major international PV markets. Recent senior hires and promotions at Suntech America and Suntech Europe were undertaken in large part to expand the sales and marketing activities of MSK's BIPV products.
Suntech also plans to extract additional synergies from the acquisition of MSK by aligning the two companies' sales and marketing initiatives, establishing joint sales channels and customer bases, promoting best practices in production and research and development activities, as well as consolidating back office functions.
''Our acquisition of MSK helped us both in terms of accelerating our market expansion plans in Europe, particularly through the combination of Suntech's and MSK's sales and marketing channels within Suntech Europe, and also in terms of leveraging MSK's early mover advantage in the BIPV space by increasing BIPV sales in Japan and other major international PV markets. By taking immediate steps to optimize sales and reduce production costs while maintaining high product quality, we expect to accelerate the integration of MSK's customers, business and manufacturing operations into Suntech's highly successful operations. This will accelerate the cost savings and cross-selling synergies that are the objectives of this acquisition," said Dr. Shi.
Suntech will continue to provide MSK fourth quarter 2006 results and related disclosure as part of its 2006 year-end earnings call, but given the accelerated integration between Suntech and MSK's business operations, Suntech will not continue to report separate results or give separate guidance for MSK in the future.

Spring Has Sprung
Lake Tahoe definitely looked a lot different from the last time I've been here. All the snow melted away, and the sun was blaring just enough to get me shvitzing a bit. Toodles winter, hello spring.
Last weekend I was swooped away out of San Francisco into Lake Tahoe to celebrate my 29th (ugh, just kill me now) birthday with Cody. I love the fact that Tahoe is far enough to get away from the hustle and bustle of the City, but close enough to be surrounded by nature without feeling like you've fallen through the closet into Narnia.
I've always been a firm believer that anything is whatever you make of it, so these last couple years I decided to make nothing big of my birthday. Maybe it's me coping with being closer to turning the big 3-0? Could be, who knows. Turning 30 in gay years is pretty much saying you're dead to the rest of the world. Good thing I get that good youthful skin from my mom though. I mean, just saying. #Igotitfrommymomma.

The finish line is within sight, which means Flyers coach Peter Laviolette will soon make his most important decision of the season: choosing which goalie will get a majority of the action in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Laviolette won't tip his hand, but, based on the way he has used his goalies lately, he seems to be leaning toward Sergei Bobrovsky, the 22-year-old rookie who is among NHL leaders in winning percentage (.632).
Entering Saturday, "Bob" had started five of the last seven games.
Bobrovsky and veteran Brian Boucher have been solid. Boucher has been a bit steadier, and you could argue that his experience - and his stickhandling edge over Bobrovsky - would be more beneficial in the postseason. Oh, and he has this on his resumé: He outplayed the great Martin Brodeur as the Flyers jolted the New Jersey Devils in last year's opening round of the playoffs.
Then again, Bobrovsky is the franchise's goalie of the future. If Laviolette gives Boucher most of the playoff starts, what will it do to Bobrovsky's confidence? Does that even matter?
Another question: Can a rookie withstand the added pressure of the playoffs and lead a team to the Cup?
Quite simply, yes.
In the last five seasons, two rookie goalies have helped steer their teams to championships: Antti Niemi did it for Chicago last year against the Flyers - he outplayed Michael Leighton - and Carolina's Cam Ward did it against Edmonton in 2006. (Ken Dryden and Patrick Roy are the only other rookie goalies to win Cups.)
Since Laviolette coached that Ward-led Carolina team, it might have an effect on his goalie decision this spring. Will it influence him to roll the dice with Bobrovsky, the unflappable Russian? Or will he opt for the "safe" choice and give the nod to Boucher?
Entering Saturday, Bobrovsky had played in 40 of 63 games, compiling a 24-10-4 record, a 2.48 goals-against average, and a .918 save percentage.

This is a cheeky little pastel portrait just in time for Christmas! It is A4 in size and is in soft pastel on grey Daler Rowney Ingres Pastel Paper, chosen to highlight the light and darker areas of the dog. I marked out the main areas of white, then added brown and ginger colours and blended it all together. Next I worked into the dark areas with black and a variety of browns and greys taking care to smudge the pastel into the lighter areas where texture was needed, but not overlapping into areas around the eyes and nose. I roughly marked in some background shapes using brown, black, yellows and greys and merged them too. With the base layers in place I was able to paint in more detail, firstly to the background foliage and then to the coat. I flicked white across from the highlights on the legs into the background to convey wet fur and finally added a few white hairs around Margo's eyes as the owner wanted her to look a little older. She looks ready to pounce!
Merry Christmas (again)

She realised (that) she had made a terrible mistake.
"That" is optional.
Student or Learner
Have a look at the following sentence:
She realised she had made a terrible mistake.
It sounds to me as if the word "that" is missing.Should it be:
She realised that she had made a terrible mistake.
I know that you can in certain circumstances omit the relative pronoun in a relative clause but the above example does not appear to be a relative clause.My question is this when is it OK to omit the word "that"?
She realised (that) she had made a terrible mistake.
"That" is optional.
*** Not a teacher ***
If the person who said, "She realised she had made a terrible mistake" is a native speaker of the language, s/he made the statement in a way that s/he is accustomed to hearing it, so it is acceptable.
Regrettably we have to say that not everything that native speakers say, especially in informal conversation, is acceptable in semi-formal/formal writing; sometimes it is not even acceptable in formal speech. Equally, of course, some things found in formal writing would be inappropriate in a conversation between, for example, young men in a pub.
In kobeobie's sentence, the word 'that' is, as Chicken Sandwich said, optional. The more formal the context, the more likely 'that' is to be heard/seen, in my opinion.
It may not be common in formal speech, but when someone, a parvenu perhaps, makes it into an upper class, this person might make an utterance that has not been heard in that class to that point. That doesn't make it "wrong." To say it is wrong would be taking a snap-shot of the language as it was, and trying to maintain that as a prescriptive norm.
Omitting "that" is perfectly acceptable in everyday speech and is what you will hear from the majority of BrE speakers. I would not recommend omitting it in an exam situation or in an oral exam. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
I did not use the word 'wrong' in my post.
If two young men are talking in a pub, and one says that a foreman has been reprimanding the workforce for leaving work early, it is possible that the other might remark, "I ain't gonna take no sh*t like that from no foreman b*st*ard". The language itself is acceptable in that context, and the grammar would probably not strike anybody present as incorrect.
However, if our young man wishes to enter different social circles, and/or gain employment as, for example, a bank clerk, shop assistant, lawyer, etc, then he will have to learn to express himself in a different way. That language will be considered unacceptable. If he uses it when attempting to pass an English language examination he will find that it is considered incorrect, and he will fail the examination.
I disagree with your argument that everything a native speaker says is correct in all contexts by definition. I have heard on many occasion native speakers say, 'I got a question', meaning, 'I have a question'. The fact that it was said by a native speaker, doesn't make it right in all contexts.
If everyone starts saying, 'I got a question', meaning, 'I have a question', then at some point, even the most conservative grammarian will have to admit that the English language has changed. At the moment, in some circles, 'I got a question', is OK, it isn't in most though.
On the other hand, 'I haves a question', is, as it stands, incorrect, because you won't find a single native speaker saying this. This may change, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

To acquire high-level academic education and real-world practice in the field of transitional justice
Geneva, 3-7 April 2017
30 March - 5 May 2017
To Celebrate the Geneva Academy's 10th Anniversary
The second term of the Master of Advanced Studies in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law started with a very special occasion: a study trip to Nuremberg. A key site for thinking about transitional justice as a contemporary response to mass atrocity.
Tafadzwa Christmas
In this interview, Tafadzwa Christmas, a Zimbabwean student enrolled in the Master of Advanced Studies in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law, tells us about the programme and life in Geneva.
Senior Legal Policy Adviser to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Associate Professor of International Law at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford's Centre for International Studies and Councillor at the World Future Council
Senior Lecturer at the School of Law, University of Essex, and Director of the Essex Transitional Justice Network
Assistant Professor at the Law Faculty, University of Geneva, and Co-Director of the Master in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law
Swiss National Science Foundation Professor of Law at the University of Geneva and Associate Professor at the University of Neuchâtel
Professor Emeritus of Constitutional Law at the Universities of Geneva and Zurich
More focused attention is needed today to meet the challenges of transitional justice. Critical normative and practical thinking is required to properly grasp and address what is at stake in societies emerging from conflict and authoritarian rule.
The programme is structured around five modules that cover central theoretical and practical issues in the fields of transitional justice, human rights and the rule of law.
The Master in Transitional Justice's clinical work comprises seminars that facilitate dialogue and critical reflection on specific situations, as well as research internships with leading actors.
Our campus spans from Geneva's international area to downtown Geneva with its vibrant cultural life.
Our Master in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law is organized around intimate learning communities enabling close interaction between students and professors.

Davis warns peers to fulfil 'patriotic duty' over Brexit bill
The Government's former Brexit chief has threatened the House of Lords with the prospect of abolition it tries to delay Article 50.
"We've seen a historic vote tonight - a big majority for getting on with negotiating our exit from the European Union and a strong, new partnership with its member states", said Brexit minister David Davis.
The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, urged the House of Lords to do its "patriotic duty" and pass legislation.
The bill has three primary elements: repealing the European Communities Act 1972; preserving EU law where it stands at the moment before the United Kingdom leaves the EU; and enabling changes to be made by secondary legislation to the laws that would otherwise not function sensibly once the United Kingdom has left the EU.
"Our goal will be to protect Britain's membership of the single market, protect the rights of European Union citizens in the United Kingdom and to give the people the final say on Theresa May's deal".
But during five days of debate on the resulting government bill, it became clear that most MPs would not stop the process.
Comcast Wants to Turn Your Roku Into a Cable Box
Planning to participate in the Xfinity TV App beta testing? In the future, the app will not require a box, the company said. What it lacks, however, is the ability to rent or purchase content, and play a customer's previously bought content.
The legislation was presented to parliament last week following a U.K. Supreme Court decision which said the government must seek lawmakers' approval before proceeding with Brexit. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said his party will continue to fight Conservative plans for the details of Brexit, including any moves to cut corporation tax.
Shadow business secretary Clive Lewis was one of 52 Labour MPs to defy party orders to back the bill in the Commons and he resigned from the front bench.
SNP lawmakers voiced their frustration during the vote by singing Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", the EU's anthem, before being told off by Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle.
Now, the government must negotiate passage of the law through the unelected Lords, where May's Conservative Party is the biggest grouping but falls well short of a majority (252 out of 805 peers).
"There is no mandate for the hardest of hard Brexits the government favours, which risks leaving us poorer, weaker and more isolated", he said. There the government can't call upon a majority, but it can still call upon a so far successful argument - to block Brexit, is to disrupt democracy.

Badia a Coltibuono Cetamura Chianti 2009
External Reviews for Badia a Coltibuono Cetamura Chianti
Like most '91 Chiantis, Badia's Cetamura is a bit softer and less structured than the 1990 version, with spicy berry fruit and a delicate cedar nuance. Polished and supple... and ready to drink!
The value-priced 2000 Chianti Cetamura is a heady, light to medium-bodied effort displaying notions of strawberry and cherry jam presented in a fruity, simple format. It requires consumption over the next 1-3 years.
Light, but elegant and flavorful, this spry 1999 shows creamy cherry and light toast aromas, tart dried-cherry and chalk notes on the palate. Bright acidity keeps the fruit lively, and mild tarragon notes add interest.
The 2007 Chianti Cetamura is soft and accessible in its red cherries, flowers, tobacco and earthiness. The aromas are already rather forward, and this value-priced wine is best enjoyed over the next year or two. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011.
Strawberry and lemon on the nose lead to a light body, with tangy acidity and a clean finish. Drink now. 25,000 cases made. -JS
All Prices
Tasting Notes:
The wine is a bright, intense red color with the essence of cherries and ripe wild berries in the nose. A soft, balanced, full-flavored wine with good structure. Well-balanced acidity accompanied by a long clean finish.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs AMD Radeon 1GB HD 7850 1GB
From Inpai comes another of his interesting reviews, this time facing two video cards with prices below U.S. $ 170 based on Nvidia GPUs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB (prices from U.S. $ 149), and amd Radeon HD 7850 1GB ( Prices from U.S. $ 159 ).
Both video cards were tested with latest certified drivers (Nvidia geforce 306.97 WHQL and AMD Catalyst 12.10 WHQL) on a computer based on the Intel Core i7-3960X + 8GB DDR3-1600 memory.
Without further ado, here are some of their test:
We recommend reviewing the full review Inpai.

This critically-acclaimed film, hosted by former Harvard lecturer Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, uncovers the core values that enable Israelis to succeed against incredible odds. The film debuted on PBS in November and is being screened at more than 150 locations worldwide. For a limited time, the film is available for free online streaming. So enjoy.
This post will stay at the top of the list for the duration, so to see other new posts go down one.

Israel Inside - the movie
8 comments:

An interesting presentation, but an even better and more convincing video could be made without such glossy PR treatment. I would like to see a more journalist treatment of the subject with a critical analysis of Ben-Shahar's "actualizers", and far looser editorial control.

Amazing that PBS would run anything positive about Israel. Must have been a fluke.

Now that I've watched it, I agree that it's overproduced. But it's nice to see something positive for a change. Thanks for posting it.

I think that PR was an important point with the creators of the movie, seeing as they state at the beginning that there is enough criticism already (a good point too).
But I see your point. Will pass it. - 5:14 PM, May 15, 2012

I guess that it will prove to the usual crowd that Jooz own the media. But they already think so, I forget.

It seems that overproduced is becoming a prevailing view, heard same from several people already, Francis here stated it too. Important point to pass to whoever done it.

I also have a copy of Ben-Shahar's book, called "Happier." As self-help books go, it's pretty good.

Not my cup of tea, to be frank. The moment I see a book on "How to..." lines I run away.

As long as nobody reads this blog, I won't get into trouble with these extracts. They are getting absolutely ruthless with this now. Anyway, this is a supershear strike-slip earthquake, which has a very small zone of high PGV's, and is not as interesting as a supershear thrust fault.
So, this is why it is a supershear. The rupture velocities at the bottom go up to 6 km/s, which is the P-wave velocity. For 'normal' earthquakes, the rupture velocity should not exceed 3 km/s
And this is what it does. It produces firm-ground PGV's at over 1 m/s. When I'm pretty sure the glass-reactors were knocked out at 0.1 m/s, and Chile's cheap condos were knocked out at 0.7 m/s, you can imagine what 1.2 m/s can do! Multiply that by 10 for soft soil basins, and the dirt flies in the air!
Please note that these people were also intelligent enough to just consider PGV for engineering purposes. :)

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for January 20, 1913:
- "Steps looking toward the Sunday closing of all groceries and meat markets in the city of Lawrence were taken this morning at the regular meeting of the Ministerial Alliance. The action followed the presentation of a resolution from the Brotherhood of the Lutheran church asking that the Alliance endeavor to have these stores closed on Sundays.... It is understood that many grocers and butchers have wanted to close their places on Sundays and some of them have while others have remained open and conducted their business on Sunday mornings. It is the hope of the Brotherhood, which presented the resolution, that all of these can be prevailed upon to dispense with the Sunday morning opening.... The Alliance disapproved of the showing of motion pictures in a picture house on Sundays, even at a religious meeting. This action followed the showing of a picture 'The Star of Bethlehem' at a mass meeting held at the Oread Theater yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. This is said to have been a religious film but the ministers disapprove of the showing of even such a picture in a regular picture house."
- "Some new rulings have been made along parcel post lines by the Post Office Department at Washington that will be of interest to all who have things in packages to send by mail. The instructions say that boxes of merchandise may be sent, if the lids are fastened on so that the nails or screws may be easily removed and the contents examined."
- "A twelve-volume Century Dictionary was presented to the High School this morning by Mr. George Innes. The High School has needed a modern set of dictionaries for a long time and this gift is one that is certainly appreciated by the authorities. Mr. Innes has always been a good friend of the high school and this is only one of the many favors that he has done for it."

My Android tablet finally arrived today (an Asus Eee Pad Transformer). The packaging was mighty similar to the iPad 2 with a nice cellophane wrapper around the phone. Unlike the iPad it actually had some instructions and an "assembly required" plug for charging which I presume is to make it easier to 'internationalize'. I always plan to charge these as soon as they arrive so that I'm not disappointed when I actually want to break it out and use it later.
When I finally got to setting it up, it was pretty nifty how I could connect to Google via my WiFi connection and get all synced up WITHOUT having to plug it into a PC with iTunes or some such nonsense. I am, however, a bit disappointed with the fact that devs apparently have to code for a tablet. I was kind of expecting apps to be scaled like on the iPad if they weren't written for the tablet form factor (or at least occupy 2/3rds of the screen given the resolution difference between my phone and the tablet). Some apps have apparently been appropriately coded, and others have not and show up in a tiny box that isn't even centered on the screen. That said, Paper War for 2 Players is GREAT for a tablet as I figured it would be.
It's hard for me to say whether I like or love it at this point, but at the very least I can do a better job of game testing for those reading this site.
As for Sony's announcement that Minecraft will be an Xperia Play exlcusive... I'm not sure that's a story that should even be given the time of day by the various Android sites that are out there. Anything exclusive to the Xperia Play is NOT Android in my book. But I suppose, with that logic, you could argue all of the Tegra 2 games aren't either... fragmentation stinks.

Just out of interest I was Googling the JLH "Buffer" that the previous post was referring to. It seems an elusive beast.
I wonder if this is the buffer that was being referred to. I think the component values may have changed due to obsolescence. |

I did look at those schematics but I got the impression that they were just variations of the original.

The original simple compound buffer by JLH is a well known circuit. Its a low power mixed genre Sziklai. Higher Ygfs JFETs, more bias through better BJTs and an offset balance trimmer take it further. Expect a different sound than a B1 that may compliment different systems and likings better or not.

NAD equipment used to suffer a similar degredation in sound. A "PURE" NAD system was supposed to sound very good, but if you only had a few pieces of NAD interspersed with other equipment, the results were often disappointing.
I use the B1 with an Aleph 4 and the results are simply outstanding. My first foray into the DIY world of amplifiers was with my Dad who built one of the Hart JLH 80W Mos-Fet kits. It's still in the loft somewhere but I remember that the sound was somewhat muddied by the regulated PSU. He rebuilt it with an un-reg supply and it was much better. The Pass amps are so much more "Alive" and "Dynamic". Of course loud speakers have come along in leaps and bounds since then too. He was always a B&W man. I can't remember what we had then DM14's I think. I've got his 683's now. Last edited by KatieandDad; 22nd August 2013 at 03:07 PM. |

NP to have released the B1 if it wasn't cutting the mustard when driving at least some of his amps it would have been strange. He is not someone that does not listen to his electronics or lacks critical taste.

This is not your typical thriller. While it does have some truly gripping sequences that are quite suspenseful, it's the overall feel of the novel that's building tension. You know that something's up. You know it's coming. You're just not sure exactly what.
This is Allison Leotta's debut novel, and at moments it shows. The novel became immensely more compelling about halfway through. But I gotta say, it was worth getting there. Once it took off, I had a tough time putting it down. You thriller lovers are perhaps not going to find as much adrenaline here as you're used to, but you will find some nice twists and turns and a building sense of "what's coming next" that'll keep you engaged.
Those that can take or leave the thriller genre will find quite a bit more here. There are well-drawn and charismatic characters, including a convincingly green but well-meaning and good-hearted heroine. Some very steamy sex...steamy enough to get me to loosen my collar (and make some other not-to-be-named romance authors step up their game). Finally, a secondary family plot line that will tug at your heartstrings.
In short, Allison Leotta is an up-and-coming author to watch very closely. I'm glad I read Law of Attraction and look forward to her next!

Harman Kardon SB30 Performance
The Harman Kardon SB30's sound quality is, in a word, sensational. You don't often find a soundbar that's able to match the muscularity and finesse of a good separates system, but the SB30 certainly does that.
With a boisterous soundtrack like The Dark Knight on Blu-ray (fed into the SB30's optical digital input) the sound is vibrant and punchy. The opening bank heist is a pulse-racing riot of aggressive effects and thumping bottom-end, interjected with dialogue that easily cuts through the carnage.
Gunshots snap powerfully into the room, underpinned by tight jabs of bass, while shouty voices boom with authority and echo atmospherically across the soundstage. At the end of the scene, the bus bursts through the wall with a substantial wallop, peppered with the sumptuously crisp sound of tinkling glass.
In fact detail reproduction is one of the SB30's main assets. It's a consistently open and airy listen, with even the tiniest background details receiving close attention from the soundbar's competent tweeters. When married to the smooth midrange and tightly integrated bass output, this is one assured performance right across the frequency spectrum. The soundbar's left, right and centre drivers are all voice matched and work coherently together.
Turn up the volume and the SB30 doesn't buckle either. It's as comfortable blasting out a movie at three-quarter volume as it is playing TV shows down low – a sign of the SB30's versatility. It's also worth noting that there's a distinct shift in the sonic dynamism when you flip between the Beam Energy modes.
If there's a flaw, it lies with the unconvincing surround performance. The HARMAN Wave mode certainly opens up the sound and spreads effects much wider than the stereo and Virtual modes, yet there's no real sense of being enveloped. Chances are you'll be too transfixed by the speaker's other virtues to care too much, but it does underline the fact that soundbars are rarely a match for a full 5.1 system.
Harman Kardon SB30 Verdict
There's no question that the Harman Kardon SB30 is a classy soundbar system, boasting stunning looks and sumptuous build quality – not to mention powerful and polished sound quality that puts the vast majority of soundbars to shame.
Where it falls down is its lack of HDMI sockets and HD audio decoding, its fiddly operating system and the lack of surround presence with movie soundtracks, which falls below our expectations at this price. But with sound, build and looks this good, we're prepared to cut the SB30 some slack.
