Logor was a male Quarren thug who lived on the planet Mon Calamari. During the Galactic Civil War, a group of Imperial Intelligence agents traveled to the city Morjanssik on Mon Calamari and began disrupting mining operations in the city, in an attempt to prevent Mon Calamari from supplying starships to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The agents, disguised as Mon Calamari, hired Logor to attack a team of Alliance agents sent to Morjanssik to investigate the sabotage caused by the infiltrators. Logor hired a group of local Quarren thugs to attack the Alliance agents in the Long Drink, a Morjanssik bar. Logor was present in the bar during the fight and he left during the confusion of the attack. He fled the scene on a skimmer and was subsequently pursued by the agents.

Well folks, I've been absent for almost two months now, and I realize I'm way overdue to post something new here. Frankly, the final days of the presidential campaign were so utterly hopeless from my perspective, there wasn't much fight in me. But now that we have a new president-elect, an emerging Cabinet, and a truly ominous Congressional leadership, it's time to start talking about ideas.
Because it's ideas that have been missing from the Republican Party for some time now. Sure, the winners of individual campaigns harken back to "conservative values" and "Reagan's principles," but a near-majority of voters today couldn't have voted for Reagan, and they weren't alive when Goldwater emerged as the first conservative candidate. "Conservatism" is a rather amorphous brand, particularly when President Bush has used its mantle to radically expand Medicare and argue in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens. When "conservative" Republicans in Congress preside over the largest expansion of the federal budget since the New Deal — and that was BEFORE the bailouts of 2008 — it's hard to say that the word means much more than "whatever business wants."
And that's precisely why Republicans and conservatives are losing elections. Democrats and liberals have successfully painted conservatives as mindlessly pro-Big Business. They've tried to do this for decades, of course, but it only began to stick when conservatives abandoned their principles. When you don't stand for anything, all the public can do is look at who you're standing with. In Republicans' case, it was K Street (courtesy of Tom DeLay), Keystone Kops (much of the Bush Administration), and crooks (Stevens, Abramoff, et. al.).
The conservative brand should be about individual liberty, constitutionally-limited government, fiscal restraint, and responsible governance. Those principles are timeless, applicable to any number of problems facing this country. And while they are "Reaganite," it no longer benefits Republicans to harken back to an era whose challenges are no longer our challenges. Calvin Coolidge supported limited government — do we invoke his name in support of a balanced budget amendment?
Obviously, there is political value in having accessible historic touchstones like Reagan, who inspire voters and provide a measuring stick for existing policies. But his policies just aren't our policies in many respects. Reagan did very little on health care, but no political party can say it is seriously attempting to tackle America's challenges without acknowledging a need for health care reform. To devise that policy, is the question, "What would Reagan do?" No — it's "which policy maximizes freedom, limits the role of government, saves money, and can be administered responsibly over the long term?" Note that this question is NOT a political one. If you have the right principles and model your proposals based on those principles, the political support will follow. If, instead, you chase political power by dishing out what you think the people want (or need), you've already got a political party. It's the other one.
Thus, this blog will spend the coming days proposing a few (we'll see if I can do 10) agenda items that seek to apply those principles to the challenges facing our country. These efforts will be interspersed by frantic trips to the mall and Christmas celebrations, so check in every now and then.

Morrissey has criticised General Motors for not offering a vegan leather option for its car interiors.
In an open letter, the former Smiths frontman called on the car manufacturer to change its policy in the wake of a PETA video exposé that revealed the mistreatment of animals by GM's leather suppliers.
"Given that the Volt and Bolt are being marketed to eco-conscious buyers, entirely vegan options would only broaden their appeal," Morrissey writes.
It's not the first letter that the British artist has penned in the name of animal welfare issues.
In October, Morrissey wrote to Australia's Deputy Prime Minister urging him to ban the country's animal live-export industry.
The singer was forced to cancel a show in the US at late notice last week (November 14) after a member of his backing band collapsed backstage.
Read Morrissey's full letter to GM below:
Mary T Barra
Chair and CEO
General Motors Company
21 November 2016
Dear Ms Barra,
As I head to Detroit to play the Royal Oak Music Theatre, I'm writing to ask GM to make Chevy's Volt and Bolt more eco-friendly by giving buyers the option to choose vegan leather interiors–including steering wheels and gear shifts. GM is named in PETA's brand-new investigation of cattle ranches, on which animals are branded on the face, electro-shocked, and beaten before they're slaughtered and used to make leather interiors for car companies, including yours.
More and more people are opting for vegan leather for the sake of both cows and the environment. A staggering 51 per cent of global greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture. Animal skins also have to be treated with a toxic soup of chemicals in order to keep them from decomposing, and runoff from leather tanneries poisons vital waterways.
Given that the Volt and Bolt are being marketed to eco-conscious buyers, entirely vegan options would only broaden their appeal. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

An apocalyptic dystopia like no other, one whose "originality and power [of] vision can be felt" (Times Literary Supplement).
Weird and mesmerizingly grotesque, The Drought tells the chilling story of the world on the brink of extinction, where a global drought, brought on by industrial waste, has left mankind in a life-or-death search for water. Violence erupts and insanity reigns as the human race struggles for survival in a worldwide desert of despair.

Speaking on the sidelines of the opening of the Nautica shopping center after a comprehensive overhaul on October 19th, Ruben Gornischeff, board member of Nautica's developer Capfield OU, said that completion of the Porto Franco center situated not far from Nautica would be good for the development of the entire area of the Tallinn passenger port, informs LETA/BNS.
Capfield: Porto Franco in Tallinn would be good for port area's development
"If Porto Franco ever is to be, either as a shopping center or as a mixed type of development, it rather will be a positive development for us. This is because every new development will add value to the port area, will hopefully bring here new residents and people who work here. Inconclusion, it is positive for us when the port area develops," Gornischeff told BNS - writes baltic-course.com.
"At the start we indeed had certain questions as to how Porto Franco will affect our mall. But now, as the Porto Franco project remains in alimbo, the questions that we have rather are about what will become of this project after all and what will eventually be there," Gornischef added.
"The concept and location of our mall are strong enough for us not to see Porto Franco as a major competitor," the Capfield board member said.
The Porto Franco project that is still looking for an investor is for a complex of buildings with a seaside promenade to be built next to the Admiralty Inlet in the area of the Tallinn passenger port. The major owner of the project is Estonian businessmanHillar Teder. The project is currently in thestage of a hole in the ground, which according to Teder has cost 10 million euros.
Capfieldon Thursday opened the Nautica shopping center in the Tallinn port area after an expansion and overhaul costing more than 11 million euros. As a result of the overhaul, the size of the former Norde Centrum mall almost doubled.
Capfieldis an owner and developer of shopping centers. Its portfolio is made up of six shopping malls in Estonia with atotal leasable area of 80,000 square meters and of land plots slated for development.

Cheaper Travelling Tips
There is always that feeling in us to want to travel and just enjoy the sceneries of amazing places and just relax and escape the stress from our work, home or school. But one of the reasons why we can't have it all at once is that of the list of expenses that might cost the whole trip. Generally speaking, when one wants to travel, it is already expected that he will be spending for that trip. But can you possibly imagine that you can travel and enjoy places without spending a lot? If you could just simplify a bit of your desired fancy travels, you could still be able to enjoy the same fondness you want to experience in your dream land. This article will make you discover more some tips how you can travel without expecting to spend a lot.
First tip is to choose cheap destinations and never be choosy. There are a lot of budget-friendly destinations that you choose from such as India, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam or even Latin America. But when you wat cheaper flights, be ready to adapt and adjust about the place and the time or dates of the travel. You can easily find this to many booking companies which offer travel promos. However, if you really want to pursue your expensive travel destinations, I advice that you visit them during off-season. This is the time when there are only few tourists that also travel and you can have the best deals of their hotels. On the other flip, you would probably be welcoming the heat of the sun or the rainy season on your destination if you go there during off-season, but what is important is that you have marked one item in your bucket list.
Another advice I can give you is to travel slow. This means that when you move slower, the cheaper your travel expenses become. This is explained by the statement, time is expensive. But when you travel quickly and you want to immediately arrive on your next destination faster, it requires you another spending for your ticket booking which are usually not anymore discounted.
Another tip to remember is to travel light. Bring only those things that you really need. Avoid extra things. You can just use a hand carry backpack for your things, to avoid having excess baggage. Excess baggage means you need to spend another amount, on a very unreasonable price on the actual.
When your destination of choice would permit you, you can just warm yourself in your own tent.
Finally, plan everything ahead, as early as possible. Plan everything before you head towards your destination to avoid rush and choosing inappropriate option.

Forfar, Letham, Tannadice, Kingsmuir, Guthrie
It is known as the home of the bridie and Forfar, along with a cluster of nearby Strathmore villages, plays a central role in Angus life. The traditional market town is the administrative hub of the region, enjoying all the facilities you would expect of a community with around 14,000 residents.
In addition to shops - bakers included, naturally - Forfar enjoys a leisure centre, swimming pool, golf course, an Academy and primary schooling and a professional football team playing at Station Park.
The town, once a major textile centre, was bypassed by the A90 dual carriageway linking Aberdeen and Dundee back in the late 80s.
Five miles away, the biggest of the many villages in the county is Letham, with its many active clubs and societies, and other smaller communities owing their existence to farming include Tannadice, Kingsmuir on the road to Carnoustie and Guthrie, which is equidistant from Forfar, Arbroath and Brechin.

Legend of Zelda: Fallen Savior is a steampunk Zelda game for the WiiU set 200 years after Spirit Tracks.
New Hyrule has entered an era of peace. All seemed well until a plague broke out, and several other natural disasters followed. However, Hyrule meets a new savior, Khalad, who claims to be of Ancient Hylian descent. He manages to save the kingdom from the catastrophes that befell them, and was worshiped amongst the people as a savior. However, he believed that the people were ungrateful and undeserving so he proclaimed that he was going to save Hyrule....by destroying all those he deemed unclean. (which was pretty much everyone) In short, Khalad went insane and became an extremist who became an extremist who was oblivious to his actions because he became diluted, think everything he did was righteous. He started with the king, whom he believed to be corrupt, as a display of power towards anyone he believed should repent. Princess Zelda called upon Link, a boy in the royal Hylian Army, to rescue her from the castle, as Khalad had locked her in the prison. Link ventures to the castle from his house in the country and escapes with her. However, his victory is short lived, as Khalad appears and kidnaps Zelda. Khalad creates a portal in the throne room of Hyrule Castle, and takes Zelda to a tower in his realm, where he seals her in stone. He seals the entrance to the portal. Link is told to go to the sage Treyan, a descendant of the Lokomo. Treyan tells him that he must find the Eight Crests of Destiny to open the dark portal and save Zelda.
In Fallen Savior, this game uses a mechanic known as Parallel Dungeons. This means that by, say, activating a switch in one dungeon, a passage in another can be opened. The dungeons are extremely large, and the first four can be played simultaneously. The second four can also be played like this. This feature makes the overworld seem much more connected. There are also many mini dungeons and sidequests inside of them. However, there only two dungeons revealed by name, but there are many screenshots.

Why you are scared of Functional Programming
Kasey Speakman Updated on ・4 min read
I remember when I used to hear about so-called "functional programming" (I mean was I doing dysfunctional programming before? Weeeeell, I probably was). I would always come away with the sense that it was needlessly complex. Something only doctoral students were tortured into understanding while they were locked in the ivory tower.
However, since I mostly do functional programming today, I look back at what I could have told Past Me to make him understand that FP is not really intimidating or even reserved for people far-better educated than me. And offer some ways to approach it that setup success.
#1 Don't bother with Monad tutorials
... or other things plucked from Category Theory. You really do not have to know that stuff to start out. One day, Future You may be brimming with confidence which is ready to be destroyed by a Monad tutorial. But for today, such things are interesting "optimizations" that you can learn about later.
It might be hard to avoid getting doused in type theory in certain languages -- I know that you know that I am thinking of Haskell right now. If I were Past Me, I would stick with ML-family languages that do not have heavy type requirements: examples that come to mind are F#, OCaml/Reason, Elm. For you dynamic-type programmers in the audience, those languages also have great type inference so you can omit most type declarations but still get type checking for free.
#2 Pretend you are coming from Procedural Programming
One really common mistake when starting FP is to try to look at everything with the same pair of glasses you used for object-oriented programming. You might try to hide data structures or add methods to data. Well, that's not really the way it works most of the time. You can look at Functional Programming as being more similar to Procedural (done right) than it is to OO. The big differences being that procedural executes side effects all along, whereas FP emphasizes making decisions first and translating those decisions into side effects at the very end.
#3 Don't get obsessed with abstractions
One pervasive problem across all paradigms in the programming universe, is trying to shoehorn too many things into a Theory of Everything abstraction. FP is no different there. In fact, all the Category Theory stuff that you are so afraid of is precisely so you can use a single abstraction against otherwise very different things like a validation results and file IO -- so you can use the same functions on both. That's why I said earlier to consider all that type theory as an "optimization" that you can worry about later.
For now, be okay with observing some duplication of code (e.g. Hmm, there is List.map, Option.map, Result.map... can't quite put my finger on it, but I think some kind of pattern is happening there...) until you are pretty sure it is duplication of the exact same thing, not just something similar.
Sandi Metz said it well:
"duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction"
#4 Cheat on your pure diet a little, if you must
Sometimes it can be really difficult to think about coding a problem without using side effects, because they are so ingrained in my thinking. For example, a tough one for me was generating random numbers. The languages I mentioned above have some escape hatches where you can use side effects if you just get too frustrated and need to move on for now. (Elm itself does not allow side effects, but you can still interop with the ultimate side-effect: JavaScript.)
I also allow myself to use side effects at the "edge" of a program. In a web API I define The Edge as
a bad movie from 1997 the "controller". So I might generate some random numbers or get the current date/time or read from the database in the controller. But any decisions I make based on those are in pure functions. Then the decisions that were made go back to the controller, who can turn them into yet more side effects, like saving to a database or loading some more data to use in another pure function. Reminder in case you haven't seen every other post I've talked about FP: being pure makes the decision functions embarrassingly testable and refactorable. Heck I even test all the bad things that can happen as well as the happy path.
#5 Use union types
Raise your hand if you have ever tried to write a class with two nullable properties which were supposed to be mutually exclusive. Example: either some data or an error. This is precisely what union types allow you to represent in a non-awkward way. Learn about them and use them in your data structures.
Did you know that union types are representable in OO languages by using inheritance? But under the OO paradigm it is considered an anti-pattern to do "instance of" checks on an object to get at its implementation details. However in FP it is a good practice to go through all the cases of a union type and perhaps use different functions for each one. Because the emphasis in FP is on functions and immutable data, not object-based abstractions which encapsulate data and methods. Keep that in your back pocket for your journey.
I'm going to let you in on a secret. Don't let this take away from using union types, but that category theory stuff is pretty much centered around them in particular. For now, Past Me,
do not taunt Happy Fun Ball always deconstruct union types with
case /
match statements, and you will keep away from all that type theory. By the time you notice the similarity of it all, you may be ready to go deeper.
After falling in all the traps on my FP journey, hopefully I can point some out to you. ...And accurately speculate on what a better path might have looked like? Eh, accuracy is probably too much to ask. Oh well, I gave it my best go above anyway. :)
Anybody doing imperative programming can start using the functional constructs of their current language. It's the lowest learning curve to being introduced to a new paradigm.
Sure, but some of them make it really difficult to do so or don't have features to support really common practices of the paradigm. Like in C#, I can do partial application, but it's awkward without curried functions. Also functions can be values, but I frequently have to make long type declarations to make that happen. It's annoying enough to be discouraging because the language doesn't support me in it.
Why would this be a problem? You'll still be learning a functional paradigm, but comfortably in your current language. You can also use it on your current project, thus you can learn it at work. It's a great way for somebody to expose themselves to something new and spark their interest.
Partial application is easy with lambda functions. You don't need currying for that.
var in C#,
auto in C++, and perhaps even implicit typing in Rust, also remove a lot of the need for long declarations.
You definitely have a point about applying the principles to whatever language you are using. I certainly try to when I am working in our legacy systems which are in other languages. You don't have to have currying and partial application and whatnot to write pure functions and well-structured functional programs.
But at the end of the day, not having those features provides a lot of resistance to using the paradigm, and can actually be more work than using the language's default paradigm. I learned this the hard way when I tried to implement error handling in C#, like I was using in F# (which also has to handle exceptions from framework/ecosystem libraries). Some things will simply not be worth fighting the resistance (and if talking about doing it in a team using OO, won't make code review), and so you won't get to learn them.
As far as implicit typing, give it a try and see. It doesn't work well for functions (in C# anyway). Example:
var addOne = x => x + 1; gives compile error "Cannot assign lambda expression to an implicitly typed variable." That was a great disappointment to me. I was used to being the consumer where the function was already defined like
list.Where(x => x.IsTrue). But when you are the one defining the functions, not just plugging them in, it gets painful quickly.
I'll admit that isn't nice in C#. Maybe I was thinking more C++ where
auto and template arguments remove a lot of the need for typing. Or in Python where the dynamic types also remove the need for typing.
But those remarks are exactly why FP is so awesome!
Yeah, it's hard, but it's rather interesting and exquisite.
As FP is generally a rather niche programming paradigm ( FP languages, not FP elements like higher-order functions, currying and other examples that are commonly found nowadays in most programming languages ), I think one should strive to learn more about the delicacies of the paradigm.
It shouldn't be niche, and I think people treating it as such is part of why it's adoption is limited. The fundmanetal points of functional programming, such as immutable data, first class functions, and pure functions, are immensely useful when combined with other paradigms.
Every coder should understand the paradigm, even if they never touch one of the traditionally functional languages.
Oh I agree. I have enjoyed learning the more advanced topics. But those are often intimidating to beginners. And you really don't need to know about them to get started and get real value from the paradigm. They make for really pleasant surprises later. And FP languages make those gems more noticeable sooner. For example, I don't think I ever would have embraced functional error handling in C#, because the language makes it too much work. (And I did try.)
I agree with this. I think the advanced topics present tremendous value down the road. But are hardly of value in the beginning of someones journey. Think, explaining generics to a new C# developer. The best analogy from life I can think of is teaching how to play a card game to someone and whilst explaining the rules, you introduce strategies. The strategies are incredibly useful. But only serve to muddle the learning process. Possibly to the point of quitting.

I could say that Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life is one of the best sports books I've ever read — in the same league as The Year the Mets Lost Last Place (about the '69 New York Mets) and A Handful of Summers (lost-world Australian tennis) — but that wouldn't be fair, to beach William Finnegan's new book on the sports shelf. As for our daily-bread subject here, the old shepherd's game, it comes up infrequently and not until page 287 (of 447), when Finnegan, out of his board shorts for a change, describes himself at play on the Lincoln Park Golf Course in San Francisco: "I knew nothing about golf, and we never saw the clubhouse, but I liked whacking the ball off the deep-shadowed tees, down the lush fairways, while the low sun made the hills glow before it fell into the Pacific." Amen, brother. BTW: Is there a teaching pro a guy can go to learn to write such sentences?
Beauty is a recurrent (but not overwhelming) theme in the book: the beach, the trip to it, the wave, the surfer on it. Finnegan remembers beautiful form, stances and hand positions from the surfers he watched in his Hawaiian boyhood, nearly 50 years ago. There was, likewise, a time when swinging a club with distinctive beauty was the holy grail of all golfers. Alex Lyle, a native Scot and a golf-pro lifer, had one recurring piece of advice for his son: "Make it pretty." Sandy Lyle did, most particularly while winning the '85 British Open and the Masters three years later.
Yes, of course: You could win without making pretty swings, then and now. Raymond Floyd's action would not have moved Whitman, and it didn't do much for Herb Wind either. But watching Seve Ballesteros on the range never got old. Davis Love III's late-summer, late-career win in Greensboro is a reminder of the enduring (he's 51) value of the beautiful golf swing. Tiger Woods's swing in 2000 was not the violent slash it became later — it was drop-dead gorgeous. Phil Mickelson's swing, most likely because he stands on the less-familiar west side of the ball, has never really received the paeans it deserves, for being big, long, strong, rhythmic.
I apologize for the sexual innuendo. It could be worse. One of Finnegan's surfers sees a surfboard in phallic terms. Then there's his surfer friend whose bumper carried this sticker: I'd rather be performing cunnilingus. The golf version is significantly more pedestrian: I'd rather be driving a Titleist.
The modern touring pro, swinging the modern club at a modern ball, has no reason to prize beauty. Bubba Watson's swing is no work of art, and neither is that pink driver of his, but Jack Nicklaus's persimmon MacGregor Eye-O-Matic wouldn't survive one hit by the two-time Masters champion. Anyway, when you're hitting a second-shot wedge into the par-5 13th at Augusta National, do you really care how you went about blowing it past the 150 marker? By any means necessary.
When Steve Elkington played in his first professional event, the 1985 Dutch Open (he didn't tweet out his T-11 finish), he had a swing so gorgeous that veteran pros were sneaking peeks at it. I caddied for him that week, and I saw firsthand Bernhard Langer and Graham Marsh (the winner) checking it out. Its hallmark was balance.
Elkington's irons were forged, and they were beautiful too. Players had far more personal and long-lasting relationships with their equipment then. Surfers always have. Finnegan has references to 10-foot single-fin guns and six-foot split-tail tri-fins and the like. His 11th birthday is a snapshot in his head: "I chose a solid, sunbrowned 9'0" with blue-green paneled rails and a fin built with at least eight different types of wood." The number as a noun. Tour players do the same: "I hit my 56, dead hands, took something off it." I wish I could describe with Finnegan's rich detail the Sam Snead Blue Ridge irons with which I broke 100 for the first time. I can tell you where and when I bought them and who I was playing with when I holed out for my first 99. (Many followed.) Finnegan quotes a fellow surfer who owns a seven-foot single fin once ridden by Mark Richards, a legendary Australian surfer: "'It's like owning Jack Nicklaus's old golf clubs.'" Finnegan's own sticks are "three or four rusty clubs" that he carries by hand as he walks Lincoln Park with his girlfriend.
Don't get the wrong idea here. There's about as much golf in Barbarian Days as there is surfing in Golf in the Kingdom. But both books are about sports that can become the driving force in a person's life. Surfing, like golf, can give a person's life a clubhouse, a dress code, a vocabulary, a sustained conversation, a community. Both will test your mind and your body. But Finnegan surfs in 50° water, in waves big enough to kill you. I've dabbled in such ponds. (Check out my right pinkie.) I prefer golf, late on a warm summer afternoon, standing on a deep-shadowed tee, lush fairway tantalizingly in sight. Then the wave crests.

Awardees in TBIS2017: SEITA Ryutaro (M1 student, Graduate School of Science and Technology), YANG Liu (M2 student, Graduate School of Science and Technology), and ZHU Chunhong (Assist. Prof., Faculty of Textile Science and Technology)
At the 10th Textile Bioengineering and Informations Symposium held in Wuhan, China on May 16-19, 2017 (TBIS 2017), "Best Poster Award" (5 awardees of 83 posters) was awarded to Mr. SEITA Ryutaro, 1st grade Master course student, Department of Textile Sciences and Technology, Graduate School of Science and Technology (Supervisor, Assoc. Prof. WAKATSUKI K.), "Outstanding Student Papers Award" (5 awardees of 125 accepted papers) to Ms. YANG Liu, 2nd grade Master course student, Department of Textile and Kansei Engineering, Graduate School of Science and Technology (Supervisor, Prof. TAKATERA M.), and "Best Paper Award" (5 awardees of 57 accepted papers) to Dr. ZHU Chunhong, Assistant Professor, Department of Advanced Textile and Kansei Engineering, Faculty of Textile Science and Technology.
The title of the awarded poster "Evaluation of thermal protection of Japanese firefighter helmet and its improvement to thermal insulation" (Mr.Seita)
Research Outline : A Firefighter helmet plays an important role to protect the firefighter's head from falling object, falls from a height and heat and flame from fire and heated smoke within a structure. A Japanese firefighter helmet is very light and comfort during their operation relative to Europe and North-America, but has problem heat resistance of shock absorption material such as polystyrene foam because it is polymeric. Therefore, protection of polystyrene foam from heat has very important role in terms of both skin burns on head and shock protection by object and fall. His research objective is to build up the test instrument on firefighter helmet against heat, investigate the thermal resistance on current Japanese firefighter helmet. Then, improvement to protect the polystyrene foam by cellulose fiber wipes has been proposed and investigated it performance by number of layers of the wipes.
It has been found that both installation of cellulose fiber wipes between helmet shell and polystyrene foam has insulated heat to polystyrene foam and absorption of water by the cellulose fiber wipes which released from aluminum hydrate as fire retardant for firefighter helmet shell made time delay to increase the temperature and maintain the performance of heat insulation. It is expected that this installation of paper wipes has great effect to maintain shock absorption even if the helmet is exposed to heat and flame for firefighter working environment.
The title of the awarded paper "Mechanical similarity for three-dimensional fabric drape considering bending rigidity and shear stiffness" (Ms.Yang)
Research Outline : Garment simulation has been applied into practice nowadays. However, simulated garments are still different from real garments due to fabric types and how to adapt mechanical properties of fabrics to required parameters in garment simulators is not specified.
We assume that if there is a mechanical similarity for fabric drape can be established, the simulation ability of a garment simulator can be evaluated by comparing simulation results of different fabrics for keeping similar drapes. In this study, to explore the similarity rule for fabric drape, drape tests were conducted using fabrics with different sizes. The relationship between drape coefficients and basic fabric mechanical properties was investigated, and the relationship among drape coefficients, mechanical properties of fabrics, and geometric parameters of drape tests was analyzed.
The title of the awarded paper "A design method of hollow structure woven fabric" (Assistant Prof. Zhu)
Research Outline : 3D hollow structural textiles are used for a wide range of applications, such as ordinary textile products, aircraft body or building materials as basic composite fabrics. The purpose of this research is to develop impact-resistant textile composites. Firstly a design method was proposed to weave 3D hollow structural fabric by dobby loom or Jacquard loom. In this study, we designed the hollow structure with [(N+1)-N] layer and expressed the number of wefts and warps of the minimum repeat using N as the number of layers and n as the number of interlacing. Moreover, by changing N or n, we were able to freely change the number of layers of the hollow structure and the size of the hollow. Finally, we simulated the shape of the hollow structure using Digital Fabric System and weave it with Jacquard loom.

Public Asked to Weigh In On Major Regional "Roads & Transit" Proposal
Community Meetings Scheduled Around Region
The region's first comprehensive proposal for reducing freeway congestion and improving mass transit service moved into the home stretch today with the announcement of a series of open houses around the region. The open houses will gather final public input on the "Roads & Transit" package before it goes to voters in November 2007.
The draft Roads & Transit plan calls for dramatic new investments to extend light rail and make significant freeway, HOV and bridge improvements, to build more park and ride lots, and to add express bus service.
The public is invited to provide feedback on the draft plan at five open houses that will take between February 22 and March 20 (see below for details). People can also visit Sound Transit and RTID's websites to comment: www.soundtransit.org, www.rtid.org.
"Imagine jumping on a train in downtown Bellevue and stepping off about 20 minutes later in downtown Seattle regardless of the traffic," said Sound Transit Board Chairman John Ladenburg. "This plan calls for extending light rail from Seattle north to Lynnwood, east to Redmond and south to the Port of Tacoma, along with more commuter rail and express bus service in all three counties."
The Draft Roads & Transit Plan: An Investment in Our Region's Future
The Roads & Transit package will present to voters a unified program of investments in freeways, light- and commuter-rail, HOV lanes, park/ride lots, and express and local bus service. Key features include:
Reduction in traffic delays
Faster travel times
42 miles of new light rail
Major improvements to "highways of regional significance" and chokepoints- I-5, I-405, SR 167, SR 9, SR 509, US 2, SR 522
10,000 new park-and-ride stalls
New HOV lanes
Bike lanes, side walks, better connections
Major freight routes improved
"These improvements are long overdue and will provide welcome relief for all of us who depend on our freeways to get to and from work, school, and home to our families," said RTID Executive Board Chairman Shawn Bunney. "Whether you drive a car or truck or take transit, this plan has something for you."
The Roads and Transit plan is a combined effort by the Regional Transportation Investment District Board (RTID) and Sound Transit. Both agencies are governed by local elected officials in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.
"Band-aids and quick fixes won't cut it anymore. We are one region and need one comprehensive plan for improvements," said King County Councilmember Julia Patterson, a member of both the Sound Transit and RTID boards. "It's time to get moving on our transportation problems. We can't wait any longer."
After the road projects are finalized by RTID in April, they will be advanced for Snohomish, Pierce and King county councils' approval. With their endorsements, they will be placed on the ballot for voters to consider in November 2007. Sound Transit will adopt final transit projects in April and in June will vote to place them on the November ballot.
Open Houses
All open houses are from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. with a presentation at 6 p.m.

I've been away for a long time, I'm sorry, with work, some new projects, a little bit of holiday and other things. However, I haven't forgotten Nine Planets, even though I haven't said anything about it. People are still buying it and enjoying it too (!), so I'm of the opinion that it's going to be a slow burn rather than a sudden quick flame.
Here's the latest. I gave a copy to a reviewer on a (reasonably) large Australian newspaper some weeks ago and he promised to read it and possibly write a review in his paper if he thought it was good enough. That sort of publicity is absolute gold so I was delighted. Then he went quiet for some weeks, the sort of delay that makes you think, Hmmmm. He doesn't like it and is just letting it fade quietly away.
Until last night, that is, when he emailed me to say that he had skimmed through the book and decided that it was, and I quote "Definitely review-worthy! Watch this space."
I'm taking that as a confirmation that he will review it *beams* As he said . . .
Watch this space.

The day is going to hit you when you realize she's no longer a choice you get to make. You'll cross paths and she'll look and sound familiar but as you look a little more closely you'll realize how much has changed about her. You'll realize she looks a little prettier that far away even if she's close.
It's going to be then you realize what it is you miss about her.
You'll find yourself looking at pictures you didn't want to take in the first place but she insisted you do so. You never knew looking back at those moments and memories would hurt so much. You'll miss the messages that popped up when she saw something and thought of you. Conversations of just wanting to know how you were doing. How you'd part ways and she'd always say I love you, get home safely with a kiss on the cheek as she took off.
Those moments of missing her will hit you as you realize there aren't a lot of people like her who genuinally care. And maybe it was annoying sometimes but there wasn't anyone with better intentions. There isn't anyone who wouldn't do anything you ask.
You'll regret the fact that you never appreciated her or thanked her. You'll miss someone who never stopped trying with you. It's the night that you'll stay awake and you remember when you used to text her and even at odd hours she'd always make the time to talk to you. You'll miss the person who was always on your side wanting what was best for you. You think back to how much time and emotion she invested into you. Her absence will make you realize how much you must have hurt her. You look at your phone and you want to text her and ask how she is but you can't even figure out how to say hello.
And it isn't like you did anything wrong. But you didn't do anything right either to make her stay.
That's the thing about good people they stay for as long as they can believe in you. But you can't keep them waiting forever.

I watched as my teacher hovered a bulb-shaped glass cup over a fellow student's bare back. She took an alcohol drenched cotton ball, lit it on fire, and using the fire to evacuate the air from the cup, quickly placed the cup on the student's back. The vacuum drew tissues up into the cup, creating a little mound of flesh that became pink as fresh blood was drawn to the area. My teacher was demonstrating 'Massage Cupping' – a 2000+ year old healing tradition practiced in many cultures, but most known in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This demo took place sixteen years ago while I was in massage school and was the moment when my fascination for Cupping began.
After the demo, I booked a session to experience it for myself. I was amazed by how much more open and flexible my back felt after my first treatment. I also looked like I had been tangoing with an octopus! Areas that have old injuries or high tension can leave temporary discoloration marks, similar to a hickey.
Although I left with "hickeys" on my back, the treatment was so effective I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my massage practice, so I began studying more about it. Here's how Cupping works from both the Western and Eastern view points:
From the Western perspective, the vacuum draws the tissues away from the bone and each other and breaks up unhealthily glued fibers. As it draws fresh blood and lymph to the area, it also moves trapped toxins out of the tissues. If the cups are glided with lotion, it creates cross-fiber friction and further enhances the ungluing of stuck tissue adhesions.
In the East, they view Cupping more from an energetic perspective. Areas that are tight or painful are often caused by stagnation or blocked energy. The vacuum draws the blocked energy up and out to the surface, releasing tension and toxins with it.
The results of Cupping can be quite remarkable. I had a client who suffered with a symptom for years that was healed with the help of Cupping. Cupping technology has evolved and there are now rubber pumps that create the vacuum that fire once did. Although I have practiced fire Cupping, I use the pumps because I prefer their flexibility and safety (see photo in ad next to article).
I offer Cupping (when indicated) at no additional charge to your session. You just need to give me your consent and be up for trying something unique. If this story has peaked your curiosity, I invite you to view some pictures and read more about cupping on my blog at www.CoCreativeHealing.com

Home Care > Want to Buy a Piano?
Header Image by Gavin Whitner
Perhaps you're an unrecognised musical genius. Or maybe you've just redecorated your living room and identified a possible "feature corner". Whatever our individual circumstances, sooner or later, we all reach that point in life: that point where it's time to buy a piano.
Incredibly versatile and beginner-friendly, the piano is a mainstay of many musical genres and one of the world's most popular instruments. And the piano's ubiquity is matched only by its variety, with more breeds of piano than breeds of dog: from the stately, open-lidded grand piano to the vintage honky tonk.
However, like riding your first horse, buying your first piano is liable to be a painful experience – that is, if you don't seek relevant advice.
And that is what we will provide today. For, today, we will be your piano midwife, your musical wing-man and your interior-design consultant all in one. Ask yourself these 5 questions to ensure you're buying a piano in tune (eek!) with your home.
1. What Size and Style?
Aesthetically speaking, a piano adds a degree of sophistication and class to any room it graces.
Most pianos are larger than you think, so it's important you consider its placement in your house prior to purchasing. For instance, if the instrument is to be located in a smaller room, you should avoid the larger pianos. Opt instead for a spinet, console, study or baby grand piano.
The advantage of spinet, console and study pianos is that they are relatively shallow. This means they can be placed up against a wall without butting too far into the room itself – perfect if you have a stretch of empty wall space. The famous honky tonk falls into this category too, setting itself apart based on its distinctive sound (traditionally, in each key, one or more strings is slightly detuned).
Keep in mind that the size and appearance of a piano also has an effect on its sound. As a general rule, the larger the piano the richer the tone. So, if you want that unmistakable grand-piano timbre but live in a normal-sized house, why not look at a medium grand or parlour grand.
Remember as well, with whatever piano you buy, that it's not just about it fitting in the space. Your new purchase needs to pass through your door (or window) too.
2. Acoustic or Digital?
Acoustic pianos produce their sound by the literal hammering of steel-wired strings. The digital piano, on the other hand, works by responding to key presses with high-quality playback of recorded audio.
This means that a digital piano will never fall out-of-tune and, at the press of button, can alter its tone completely (most digital pianos have an abundance of pre-set sounds, allowing it to mimic numerous instruments!). Furthermore, many digital pianos are compatible with tutorial apps and gadgets, making it a perfect option for a beginner. Finally, the digital piano also allows for the use of headphones, meaning that you can play until the very early hours of the morning without annoying your neighbours!
On the other hand, the acoustic piano generally has a better tone, and its natural, string-driven response to the touch of the player cannot be replicated on a digital piano. These subtleties are so important, in fact, that many piano tutors will not accept a student who plays exclusively on a digital piano. Essentially, this element of musical control and subtlety is vital in capturing the unique tone of the player.
Furthermore, it's worth bearing in mind that an acoustic piano will retain its value for a far longer time than its digital counterpart, which, alas, has a relatively short shelf life.
3. Retail or Private?
Prior to purchasing, it's important to be aware of the differences between buying from a retail dealer and buying from a private one. A piano purchased from a retail dealer will normally come with a free tune-up, plus a manufacturer's warranty. A lot of dealers will also offer you a trade-up option. This entitles you to the full purchase price if you wish to swap your piano for a better one in the future.
Private pianos are less expensive, but do not include a warranty or any of the other perks that are commonplace with retail dealers. As regards the price of an acoustic piano, bear in mind that these instruments depreciate very little – so look at it as an investment rather than an expense.
4. How Do I Get the Right Tone?
This is the million-dollar question. Well, maybe not million-dollar… Depending on your preference, a piano will cost you anything from a three-figure to a five-figure sum.
To explore different tones, try a range of pianos out when shopping. Listen carefully, and we're sure you'll find a tone that you enjoy. If, as a beginner, you're having trouble differentiating between tones, ask an experienced piano player to help you in the buying process.
Also, pay particular attention to the feel of the keys, as ideally you want a piano that offers you a mixture of quality tone and great comfort.
5. Is My Piano on my Home Insurance?
So you've selected the piano that's right for you and had it carefully shipped to, and installed in, your home. You're probably already rolling up your sleeves for a quick ad-lib sesh. But, before you settle down for that yearned-for lifetime of musical companionship, there is one last thing you need to do.
The chances are that, by acquiring a piano, you've significantly bumped up the overall value of your household possessions. Which means there's a good chance you no longer have the right level of home contents insurance in place. This means that, if for example you're burgled or your house burns down, you won't be able to claim back the full value of your things.
If you're like most people, you probably already had the wrong level of cover well before you bought your piano. We estimate that the value of people's things increases by 24% every three years – simply because people steadily acquire more stuff over time. So now is a good time to review your cover and update your policy.
If you've just acquired a high-value item like a piano, and you're wanting to protect it, another thing to be aware of is your "single item limit".
Your single-time limit is the maximum you can claim back on a single item under your home or contents policy, and it could be as low as £1500. For a high-end piano, this could leave you out of pocket if you need to make a claim. Remember to always list any item above your single-item limit separately on your policy.
We know insurance is full of jargon. But, at the end of the day, it's not here to annoy you. It's here to give you peace of mind, so that you can bang out tunes on your honky tonk without a care for anything other than the music. And it doesn't have to complex either. Happy tonking!

KU News Release

Theatre students to direct black box productions
LAWRENCE — Four theatre students at the University of Kansas have been selected to direct one-act productions for the Black Box Undergraduate Projects being presented by the University Theatre in February.
"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" and "Signs of Shel Silverstein" will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10, 12 and 14. "Todos somos Marcos" and "Slave Narratives" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 11 and 15 and at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 13. All performances are in the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
The four pieces in the series were selected by a committee of theatre faculty and staff from proposals submitted by undergraduate theatre students.
"The goal of the Black Box Undergraduate Projects is to showcase the work of emerging directors," said Mechele Leon, associate professor of theatre and artistic director of the University Theatre. "We looked for cutting edge ideas that would allow aspiring directors to focus on story and performance."
The production values of the Undergraduate Projects are designed to mirror the theater practices and material realities of many emerging artists and fringe theater companies across the United States, Leon said.
"Our goal is to arm students with the skill sets they need to produce their own work in order to be competitive in the entertainment industry," Leon said.
"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," a musical by Joss Whedon, Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, is directed by Janet Summerfelt, a senior from Seattle, Wash., with musical direction by Jakob Wozniak, a senior from Kansas City, Mo. A 2008 musical tragicomedy miniseries in three acts produced exclusively for Internet distribution, the show tells the story of Dr. Horrible, an aspiring super villain; Captain Hammer, his nemesis; and Penny, their mutual love interest. It is a witty, snark-filled and fanciful world, pulling its audience through an incredible spectrum of emotions and ideas, Summerfelt said.
"Signs of Shel Silverstein" includes three short comedy pieces: "One Tennis Shoe," "No Skronking" and "Smile." Directed by Matthew Gieschen, a senior from Overland Park, the three works will be interspersed throughout the performance.
"Todos somos Marcos" ("We Are All Marcos") by Vicente Leñero is directed by Jacquelyn Koester, a senior from Hoisington, who also translated the script from its original Spanish into English. Koester received a spring 2011 Undergraduate Research Award for her work on the first English translation of the play. The action centers on the sociopolitical Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico.
"Slave Narratives," an original work created and directed by Isaac Dean, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., is a retelling of plantation life by former slaves and comes from the "American Slave Anthology," published by writers and journalists who worked with the Works Progress Administration during the 1930s.
General admission tickets for the Undergraduate Projects are on sale in the KU ticket offices: University Theatre, 864-3982, and Lied Center, 864-ARTS, and online at kutheatre.com. Tickets are $15 for the public, $10 for students and $14 for senior citizens and KU faculty and staff. Patrons purchasing tickets for one performance can receive vouchers for free tickets to the second performance. All major credit cards are accepted for phone and online orders.

Oops! I did it again
Listening to Mark Riley's Rocket Science as I wait for an ex-student to turn up. She rang yesterday and said she's bought some Chinese festive coconut pudding for me from some special shop somewhere. She is a very sweet girl. Now working as a supervisor in Starbucks, which she seems to enjoy. But she's late. And I've got a class at half twelve. When she called me yesterday she asked me if I like that stuff and I lied and said well yes of course! I LOVE that sticky sweet pudding stuff. She said, oh I thought you would like them, at least your kids would anyway, kids like sweet stuff right?! I replied ha ha ha, how clever of you... see you tomorrow then.
Anyhow, Mark Riley plays some good songs. Just played something from Teenage Fanclub's Grand Prix (was just talking to B last night about where all our Teenage Fannie CDs have gone) and then Gorky's and now Mercury Rev.
Meanwhile, still trying to work out the exact number of students who've registered for each tutorial group. The stupid banner system (rage! rage! rage!) is obviously NOT up to date. I've signed forms for a few more more students to add to the course but their records are not shown. If the registry can't keep up with the paper forms, then why don't they just bloody scrap them? I recognize incompetence when I see it but I do not understand it.
I'm planning to go home early and either do a long-ish run or a short one up and down the little hill at the end of the park. Since I've signed up for that race now I thought I better take it a bit more seriously and train properly so as not to embarrass myself too much on the day. It's only 11K but it'll be my first race so I hope you can understand that I can't help being a bit nervous about it.

ROCHESTER, Minn. - At Century High School on Saturday, students hosted a Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research.
They have a goal of raising $20,000.
Elizabeth Spencer lost her mother to cancer when she was 11, and lost her grandpa to the disease two years ago. She rallied students together to put on the event. "Anytime I hear somebody get diagnosed with cancer, I always feel for them because I know what it's like. Not to be the person that has cancer, but to be in the family of a diagnosed person," she says.

Pope Francis quietly makes move to help out pedophile priests
(INTELLIHUB) — The Catholic Church has shockingly reduced the sanctions against pedophile priests in a quiet move that has outraged victims and advocates.
Pope Francis has applied his vision of a so-called merciful church to priests who have sexually abused children despite questions from survivors and even his own advisers, with at least one already coming back to haunt him.
"An Italian priest who received the pope's clemency was later convicted by an Italian criminal court for his sex crimes against children as young as 12. The Rev. Mauro Inzoli is now facing a second church trial after new evidence emerged against him," The Associated Press reported.
"The Inzoli case is one of several in which Francis overruled the advice of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and reduced a sentence that called for the priest to be defrocked, two canon lawyers and a church official told AP. Instead, the priests were sentenced to penalties including a lifetime of penance and prayer and removal from public ministry."
That's right, in the Catholic Church you apparently receive a simple lifetime of prayer for abusing children. You truly can not make this up.
A church official told the AP that in some case the pedophile priests, with the help of high-ranking friends, have appealed to Pope Francis directly while citing his own words about mercy. Apparently in the church all it takes is friends in the right places and you can essentially get away with pedophilia.
The shocking decision by Francis to let pedophile priests off easy comes at a time when there is increased awareness throughout the public about possible pedophilia rings operating at the highest levels of government. From the Franklin Scandal all the way to Pizzagate, there is a disgusting amount of evidence that implicates powerful people in society as being part of child sex rings.
Interestingly, there are at least some signs that President Trump may soon be going after these high-level sickos, including a recent announcement at a press conference last week in which he detailed plans to go after victims of the human trafficking epidemic.
To recap, at a time when the public is increasingly angered at high-level pedophile rings the pope has quietly introduced plans to let priests within the church off the hook with a simple lifetime of penance and prayer. Unbelievable.
