A glimpse of the future!
Posted by Jason
Here's hoping this vision becomes a reality, but I think there's actually a fair chance on this one!
I found this article today about a Wearable Flexible OLED screen that has been developed by an American company.
Now my imagination combined that with the functionality and power of the fantastic Apple iPhone 3G which I've been a very happy user of for a month or so now.
Imagine the sheer power of a fairly thin and flexible band around your wrist that encompassed the functionality of your Watch, your Phone, your PDA, and gave you Mobile Internet etc too? It sounds very Scifi, but looks like it might just be entering the realms of possiblity now!
What more can I say, apart from "I WANT ONE?"!

I'm a fairly big MSN Windows Live Messenger user, but I'm starting to think that might change fairly soon.
I started to experience some annoyances with the current 8.5 version of WLM. It started to "jump" to focus, if I was merrily doing something in another application like Word, Excel, or even Notepad, and someone sent me a message it'd pop up and change the input focus to the chat bar, so if I was (as I regularly tend to do) typing away without looking at the screen to see what was going on, I could mistakenly send whoever spoke to me some totally irellevant and boring drivel!
So, I tried upgrading to the beta of Version 9, in the hope that particular problem would be fixed, and sure enough it does seem to have gone away, only now WLM itself seems to be exceedingly flaky.
Quite regularly I can be on line and in mid-conversation with someone when my messages start to bounce back as undelivered. Sometimes WLM decides to e-mail them to my recipient rather than using the Chat window. For no apparent reason the chat service will sign out and refuse to sign in again, and according to the "Service Status" pages there's no problem, and everything is running normally.
Anyway, I decided to uninstall the Beta of WLM 9, and go back to 8.5 which was reliable for the most part even if it was damned annoying, only to find that the bouncing messages and e-mailed chats aren't limited to v9, it's going on with v8.5 as well.
I assume it's because MS are preparing the back-end for the rollout of v9, but I hope to god they get it all sorted out soon, It's driving me mad!!

Amidst these technological developments is a growing dilemma in the minds of consumers about what to buy, what is safe, and what is reliable. Two conversations exist in this situation: one among consumers, often fearful about loss of privacy, and another among marketers attempting to resolve consumer dilemmas. The bridge between both conversations is built by influencers. Today Traackr brings to you the Top Influencers in Consumer Technology.
Top influencers have the ability to bring brands into conversations that involve and impact consumers the most. Authentic opinions from thought leaders hold enormous value in the minds of customers. While contextual content being shared by thought leaders has immense worth to brands.
In the technology space, influencers can help consumers better understand new developments, make decisions and speed up the adoption curve. They can help brands share a message and reach their audience, as trusted advisors.
The latest buzz in the consumer technology industry is about smart homes and devices that improve our lives. We have seen companies develop smart beds that help you sleep better, smart watches that do more than just show time, and even smart helmets that alert you about approaching vehicles. These developments have made life easier, but the growing number of options makes it difficult and confusing for consumers. In this era of developed technology, simplified connectivity and faded privacy, influencers can carry your brand to the community amidst information overload.

Procrastination–we've all done it. You have that thing that needs to get done, but there's this other thing that you would rather be doing. Or, if you're like me, you are FINALLY working on that thing and then you go to another room and BAM! Now you're distracted and forgot all about said thing you were supposed to be doing.
There are all kinds of sayings out there about procrastination. Google the word and click on images and your page will be FILLED with funny sayings or pictures like these about procrastination.
Do you know what that tells me? This is a widespread problem.
This is definitely the story of my life at times. What kinds of things do I procrastinate about? Anything and everything! I like to consider myself as being "Organized. A good multi-tasker. Works well without supervision." Yeah, those kinds of things you would put on a resume. But in reality, I'm not always like that. I procrastinate about housework, actual work, working on a budget, filling out taxes, working out, making phone calls…pretty much anything that you can put off I have at one time or another. But WHY?
I heard a saying a long time ago called "swallow the frog". I also recently read something very similar in the book Living Well, Spending Less: 12 Secrets of the Good Life.
In Part 1, Secret #5, the Author writes how we should start with the task that we don't want to do or is the hardest. Then, once that's out of the way the rest of the day should flow much easier. It makes sense–it's just hard to put it into practice.
Most people like the "mini accomplishments" of checking off those 20 other things that are on the To-Do list because all those checks for the little quick things look so cute on your paper. But what happens is you do all the little quick things and when it's time to do the thing you dread, you start making excuses…."Oh look! It's lunchtime."; "I need a break."; "Someone just came in my office, I need to get back to that." And SO many others. Then, by the time you realize it, the day is GONE!
Proverbs 13:4 (HCSB) The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.
So, I'm hoping to start putting into practice doing the big stuff first. It's not going to be easy and it certainly won't be fun, but instead of dreading it all day I will get it over and then look forward to the rest of my day. That gets that weight off your shoulders early instead of you having to carry it all day. It's like carrying a backpack with a BIG rock and a bunch of feathers in it. You can take out the feathers one at a time when you do the small tasks and continue to carry the rock around all day. Or, you can take the rock out first and only have to carry the feathers! I know which sounds better to me.
I hope you will be encouraged to "swallow the frog" and join me in eliminating procrastination from your vocabulary! Now, let's get started……
tomorrow TODAY!

There's a reason Republicans in Congress want to pass tax cuts as fast as possible: The less time the rest of us have to examine the details, the better.
The rhetoric surrounding the GOP tax cut plans moving through the House and Senate touts the benefits for ordinary Americans. House Speaker Paul Ryan says a typical family with two kids will save nearly $1,200 per year under his plan. Senate Republicans promise "middle-class benefits all around" and say their plan will generate a $1,500 windfall for the typical family.
Here's what they're leaving out: Tax cuts for individuals would expire in a few years under the Senate plan, which means tax cuts today would end up being tax hikes tomorrow. Cuts in business taxes, however, would remain permanent. Republicans insist that cutting business taxes will itself help workers earn more, at some point in the future. But that's based on old ideas that predate the digital, robot economy and most likely no longer apply.
Business tax cuts may not trickle down to individuals
As analysts run the numbers on the House and Senate plans, it's becoming apparent that businesses will enjoy the lion's share of the tax cuts, with individual taxpayers getting more of a token reduction in their tax bills. That's not inherently bad. The business side of the U.S. tax code is the most broken, with a top rate of 35% that's out of step with most other advanced economies, which have been lowering business taxes. The United States does, in fact, need a competitive business tax code, to reduce the incentive for U.S. firms to keep profits out of the country and relocate to other places.
If Republicans were being completely forthright, they'd acknowledge this. They'd admit there's a large risk corporate tax cuts won't trickle down to ordinary workers, as a roomful of CEOs seemed to indicate at a recent Wall Street Journal conference. They'd confirm analysis by groups such as the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget showing that between 65% and 80% of the net tax cut will accrue to businesses, with only a small portion applying to working- and middle-class taxpayers. They might even stick their neck out and point out that the federal tax burden on the typical family has declined slightly in recent years, suggesting there's no urgent need to cut taxes for most individuals.
But that would require more political courage than anybody in Congress seems capable of mustering. So, what we're getting instead is a cynical charade in which the talking points say one thing but the numbers say another.
The Senate plan, for instance, would cut taxes for most but not all individual taxpayers, but only until 2025. Then, all the tax cuts would expire. "This is an obvious ruse to hide very real costs and make more room for debt-financed cuts and giveaways," Maya MacGuineas of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said in a statement. It's also inherently bad policy. It would essentially guarantee a political showdown in 2025, as the deadline for expiration looms and many millions of Americans face a de facto tax increase. The thinking now is that politicians in the future will find a way to avert that tax hike, and extend the cuts. But creating this problem for future taxpayers and policymakers is utter cowardice and terrible planning.
What happens after tax cuts
We've been through this before. Tax cuts passed in 2001 and 2003 under President George W. Bush were also temporary, and due to expire at the end of 2012. That created the "fiscal cliff" drama that caused volatility in markets and led to a last-minute deal to extend most of those tax cuts, except for the wealthiest taxpayers. It sort of worked out, in the end. But we might not be so lucky next time. Federal debt as a percentage of GDP is only going up, and at some point, Congress will no longer be able to keep putting off the day of reckoning. Meanwhile, hardly any taxpayers are going to put money aside in anticipation of higher taxes in 2026, setting the stage for a national financial shock. In a word, this idea is just stupid. If tax cuts aren't permanent, they shouldn't be there.
Another wrinkle in the Senate plan would offset any tax savings for a certain group of taxpayers. The new provision to repeal the "Obamacare mandate," which requires all Americans to have health insurance or obtain an exemption, would lead a few million generally healthy Americans to forego health insurance. So far, so good, as long as they don't get sick or hurt. That measure would save the government about $30 billion per year, since it would pay less in subsidies to people who qualify for them but decide not to get insurance.
The problem is that older workers who don't have an employer-provided plan and earn too much to qualify for Obamacare subsidies would get gut-smacked with premium hikes for coverage that is already exorbitant. Some customers in the so-called individual insurance market — typically those 50 and older — already pay $20,000 and up in annual premiums, not including out-of-pocket costs. With fewer healthy customers paying into the system, insurers will have no choice but to raise premiums for those who remain, and middle-income workers who get no help from subsidies will have to pay the full freight or go without.
A middle-class tax cut sure is complicated.

I don't think the state of things is readily reducible to bite-sized explanation-metaphors, nor that whole eras of the capitalist mode of production (this is of course not just a metaphor) should be understood under sweepingly simple code-words, but, unfolding better explanations by deploying such code-words as efforts to get us to think differently and in detail is of great use. And the corresponding tactical 1,2,3-step is also helpful, even if 'tis not the whole struggle – so having Plan C post this is very welcome, even for those times when I am neither miserable, bored, nor anxious ('he's behind you' – the pantomime reflex).
Not anxious, but I am amazed, often variously amazed – even at the idea of posting this:
"Today's public secret is that everyone is anxious. Anxiety has spread from its previous localised locations (such as sexuality) to the whole of the social field. All forms of intensity, self-expression, emotional connection, immediacy, and enjoyment are now laced with anxiety. It has become the linchpin of subordination."
This public secret scales up into another Pantomime Terror. It starts with the kids, subjected to such performances, relentlessly – 'it will be fun, you'll see'. Then school, and eventually you get asked to love your work. Meanwhile:
'public space is bureaucratised and privatised, and a widening range of human activity is criminalised on the grounds of risk, security, nuisance, quality of life, or anti-social behaviour'.
As they say on FB: read this, you'll be amazed what happens next:

Bartosz Sakowicz: Seeing is Believing
Professional Certificate, Science Management Commercialization
(In the photo are Professor Maria E. Orlowska, Secretary of State, Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland; Bartosz Sakowicz; and Piotr Moncarz, Academic Director, Top 500 Innovators Program.)
"I didn't know that Stanford would change my life."
- Assistant Professor, Department of Microelectronics and Computer Science, Lodz University of Technology
- Founder of company SoftSystems.pl
- Polish Top 500 Innovators Program, Certificate in Science Management Commercialization, Stanford University
- PhD Technical Science, Technical University of Lodz
- Hobbies including spending time with family and traveling
Bartosz Sakowicz is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and the founder of a technical software and services company in Poland. He participated in a custom program instituted by the Polish Ministry of Science and Education called the Top 500 Innovators. Together with 39 other Polish academics and business executives, he spent two months on the Stanford campus completing courses in science management commercialization.
Prior to his arrival, he had little sense of what the program was going to be like. The experience, he says, was a "life changer".
Sakowicz took classes taught by Stanford faculty and facilitated through the Stanford Center for Professional Development. He describes the experiences as like living inside a fairy tale. "Everything was new, everything was so nice, even the weather was perfect," he says. "Stanford makes an unbelievable impression. Is so nice, so huge, and in every possible place so perfectly organized. It was euphoria."
The program exceeded his expectations. He learned things he didn't even know were missing from his prior education. The classes were unlike anything he'd ever experienced, he says, even going as far as to say they were "unusual." In some cases it was the topic that was new to him; in other cases it was the method of instruction. He was particularly impressed that the lectures were taught by faculty whose knowledge was based on real experiences in industry. Learning from their experiences hands-on, Sakowicz came to the conclusion that "it is necessary to be at Stanford and to talk with California people to understand this entrepreneurial culture."
The Top 500 Innovators program was created by the Polish Ministry expressly to encourage innovation in Poland and bridge the gap between academia and business. Poland is well regarded for its focus on education, with a high percentage of its population highly educated, but not as much for technology transfer - turning applications of academic research into real-world products and businesses. University faculty can in fact be looked down upon for making a profit from their research. "When I created my first company (software house Softsystems.pl), I was perceived by many as some kind of traitor," he says. "I betrayed pure science because I wanted to make business."
Returning to Poland upon completion of the program, Sakowicz is an impassioned advocate for entrepreneurship in academia. He has joined an initiative to try to change Polish laws related to public tenders in research. He is managing a network of interdisciplinary startup centers with the goal of increasing academic entrepreneurship among students and academics in Poland. And he started a new company focused on children's education. He tells everyone he knows about his experiences at Stanford and enjoys teaching others what he has learned. "To be honest they are a bit fed up with me," he says, "because even now, half a year after the internship, I still talk many times a day about different Stanford ideas."
Sakowicz is optimistic that as more Polish academics participate in the program (the goal is ultimately to send 500 Polish to the U.S.) Poland will see a reversal of its typically staid university culture, and entrepreneurial innovation will take off like never before. For his Polish peers considering whether or not to apply for future of the program, he says "Just do it! It will be the most blown-minded happening in your life."

MEI Online: Environmental Issues: Latest News: February 9th 2011
:: New Injection Technique Reduces Water and Energy Use
CSIRO has developed a new fluid injection technology that promises to help mineral processors reduce their water and energy use by improving the transport of concentrated tailings suspensions.
Efforts to reduce water use and to stabilise mineral processing slurries are demanding the formation of increasingly dense mineral slurries. CSIRO mechanical engineer Dr Lachlan Graham says the thicker the slurry the more likely it is to require expensive high-pressure pumps, and more energy will be needed to transport it to its final destination.
"Some operations dilute concentrated suspensions, or avoid their formation, to reduce pumping pressures. But this makes 'wetter' tailings, which are more difficult to manage in storage," says Dr Graham, who is part of the Minerals Down Under Flagship slurry transport team.
The new CSIRO technology uses a small proportion of lubricating fluid to reduce the friction between the flowing slurry and the pipe wall. While liquid injection has been tried in the past, previous approaches have required excessive amounts of the lubricant - usually water - (say 10 per cent) to achieve any meaningful reduction (say 30 per cent) in the total drag of slurry against the pipe.
"This defeats the original purpose of producing concentrated tailings suspensions," Dr Graham says. The new technique uses a liquid injection method that requires significantly lower injection rates to reduce drag by 50 per cent or more.
The essence of this technique, for which a patent has been lodged, is a design configuration that distributes the injected liquid uniformly across the pipe wall. The even distribution allows less liquid to achieve more significant results. For example, in laboratory tests using highly viscous materials, drag was reduced by 50–90 per cent over a practical pipe distance, using approximately one per cent liquid injection.
Dr Graham says the technology has the potential to reduce capital costs by allowing processors to use lower pressure pumps than they might otherwise need, as well as reducing operating costs in operations transporting slurries with a high concentration of solids.
Installing the device into the pipeline immediately before the inlet of a centrifugal pump may further improve pumping efficiency. "Centrifugal pumps used in transporting tailings sometimes don't have very good suction conditions at their inlet points, although once the slurry is in the pump there's often no problem. This could make it easier to get the slurry into the pump.
"Oils or polymer solutions could also be used as lubricants, although both would be more expensive than water and would only be used in special circumstances," says Dr Graham.
Other potential uses for the fluid injection device include providing an anticorrosive film along the inside of a pipe wall, or the injection of chemical reagents in the chemical, gas or oil industries.
The new fluid injection technology has been developed through CSIRO's Minerals Down Under Flagship and they are now seeking partners to commercialise the device.

I have no idea how "hot" Iraq is in the US after the withdrawal of the troops. Notwithstanding, IraqBodyCount published the latest data, all in interactive, informative graphs. Some data:
- Total body count: 162.000
- Civilian percentage: 79% those 162.000
- Under age 18: 8.5% of deaths with obtained age record (45.779)
The number of civilian deaths in Iraq in 2011 was almost at the same level as in 2010 – there has now been no noticeable downward trend since mid-2009. As observed in IBC's previous annual report, recent trends indicate a persistent low-level conflict in Iraq that will continue to kill civilians at a similar rate for years to come.1 While these data indicate no improvement, time will tell whether the withdrawal of US forces will have an effect on casualty levels.

Good lord. Has it been that long?
I am immensely lazy.
Well, more to the point, I'm not. I've been very busy. But I've neglected you, dear old WHTB, and that's got to change. Last year I decided I was going to use this page to review every single record I've been sent, which was a shit idea – blogs should be personal, so I'm gonna get back to the stuff I love.
So no more sifting through the review pile and gritting my teeth at the latest in a seemingly never-fucking-ending stack of godawful electronic shizzle and singer-songwriter dullness – or not on my own time, at least. Instead, here's a couple of 7″s that have rarely strayed too far from my turntable over the past few months. Diggit:
MAZES/EAGULLS split
(Italian Beach Babes)
Two UK indie rock bands covering songs by fuzz legends The Wipers – pretty risky, no? Luckily, this is a doozy. Mazes do that whole Pavement thing with a minimum of fuss, all lacksadaisical jangles and privileged apathy. You can bet they write their own press releases and fill 'em with words like 'laconic' and 'arch', but at least they get the simple things right. Eagulls, meanwhile, are utterly fucking awesome. Slop-gaze noise-punks with their eyes on nothing more than the beer they spilled all over their pedal racks, their own Possessed trumps the cover, bedecked in woozy guitars and nonchalant sneers. This record makes me wanna stand on street corners and throw fruit cocktails at yuppies. Seriously great.
BAM!BAM! – Let It Go
Realistically, I'm not sure if I'd have found this band, had HHBTM's Mike Turner not pointed me in their direction. I'm so fucking glad he did, however – the above track Hi Fi Widows blew me away like nothing since Tunabunny's (Song For My) Solar Sister last year. They remind me of Bratmobile, K Records and the years I idled away in shitty pubs'n'clubs, drinking shitty beer and hoping desperately that one of the bands on the bill would do more than merely not suck. If only BAM!BAM! had been around then, back when I really needed them. Now I'm teetering dangerously on the precipice of 30, almost too aware of my own mortality to commit to the moment and dance myself to delirium. Actually, scratch what I said earlier – I need them now. It takes something pretty fucking special to make me want to surrender it all and just feel alive. This record does exactly that, and then some. Man, I really hope they come over to the UK.

The Micro Python project is an effort to make the Python3 language fast and lean enough to run on micro controllers and if was successfully founded by this KickStarter campaign. It is intended to run on it's own hardware, the pyboard. Unfortunately, this board is not widely availabel, and everyone who missed the KickStarter will not be able to get such a board until now. Luckily the firmware also offers support for more ARM-Coretex M4 based micros, like the widely available STM32F4-Discovery. Since I like the idea running Python on a micro, and due to the fact my STM32F4-Discovery arrived today, I decided to immediately give Micro Python a try. In the following article I will describe in short what needs to be done to make Micro Python running on the discovery by using Ubuntu.
Hardware needed
STM32F4-Discovery, that's all you need since it includes already a stlink based debugger interface one could use for flashing.
Software needed on the host (Ubuntu)
To compile Micro Python, the arm-none-eabi cross-compiler is needed. On newer Ubuntu versions this could be easily installed through apt:
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
Also you will need the stlink utility from texane. For more details on how to install stlink, please consult texane's README.
To download the ELF firmware, you will also need the GDB for arm-none-eabi. In theory this could be done by the following apt statement:
sudo apt-get install gdb-arm-none-eabi libnewlib-arm-none-eabi
But unfortunately if you have installed any other gdb already (which is likely), this command will fail due a conflicting manpage! Thus, the following work-around is needed:
sudo apt-get install -d gdb-arm-none-eabi sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gdb-arm-none-eabi_184.108.40.20631218-0ubuntu1+1_amd64.deb
Building Micro Python for the Discovery
Clone the Micro Python git repository:
git clone https://github.com/micropython/micropython.git
Now change into the micropython directory an build for the STM32F4-Discovery:
cd stmhal
make BOARD=STM32F4DISC
This should create the firmware.elf in stmhal/build-STM32F4DISC.
Flash the Micro Python firmware to the Discovery
Connect the Discovery through USB (the one on with the Mini-B connector, don't connect the USB-OTG), then start (in a separate terminal) the stlinkt utilit:
The st-util now waits for a connection from GDB. This is done like so (assuming you are still in the micropython/stmhal directory):
arm-none-eabi-gdb build-STM32F4DISC/firmware.elf
Within GDB connect to st-util by:
target extended localhost:4242
And flash the firmware with:
The multi-color COM-LED should blink while loading. After downloading finised, terminate GDB.
Now disconnect the USB Mini-B cable to power the board completely off. Connect a USB-OTG on the opposite side, and reconnect the USB Mini-B cable for power. After a few seconds, the STM should be mounted as a storage device showing the files "boot.py" and "main.py". It is also possible to open a Python shell on the serial device /dev/ttyACM0:
screen /dev/ttyACM0
You now could follow the tutorial on the Micro Python web page (accelerometer is not supported on the STM).
Note: in theory it should be also possible to download the firmware through DFU as described in the Micro Python README. But to my understanding you need to enable DFU mode on the STM by removing some resistors to change boot-configuration.
Micro Python looks very well done and promising. I think I should give it a try in some of my next projects.

Important – this will impact your online marking
Blackboard online assessment services will be unavailable momentarily on January 14th to accommodate the transition between suppliers; the service Blackboard uses to add annotations to online assignments from within the browser. The service that Blackboard currently uses, Crocodoc, has been brought out by Box Corp and has made the decision to retire Crocodoc in favour of its own software. Blackboard has therefor made a decision to use Box's own, almost identical, system called Box View.
Unfortunately this transition is beyond our control; Crocodoc will no longer be available as a service to anyone after 15th January.
Transition from Crocodoc to Box View
Blackboard has been working with Box for several years to build a conversion service that will ensure legacy Crocodoc annotations will still be accessible to institutions and to students from within Box View. The conversion service they have developed (expected to be run at UEA on 14th January 2018) works by permanently 'burning' Crocodoc annotations into the student's work so they are visible within Box View after the migration. Once this has happened the legacy Crocodoc annotations can be viewed on the students work but they cannot be edited or deleted. Editable annotations can then be added using Box View and the students' original unannotated file remains available.
How will this impact me?
As soon as the migration service is available, and we have completed our tests, we will be using it to transition all Crocodoc annotations to Box View; we expect this to happen on 14th January. After the transition, all annotations will be added and viewed using Box View not Crocodoc. After the migration any annotations made using Crocodoc cannot be edited or deleted. Our only workaround, if an annotation must be changed, will be for us to replace the whole assignment with a fresh copy of the unannotated version and start again.
Should I continue to add annotations to students' work or should I wait until after 14th January?
Feedback suggests that students value annotations on their work, so if you use them, we recommend that you do not change your current practices. However, before the 14th January 2018 please be very careful about adding draft annotations. It is important to remember that you will not be able to edit or delete any Crocodoc annotations made before 14th January once we have run the conversion service.
Known Issues & Workarounds
Highlights Covering Text
After the migration has completed we have noticed there may be slight formatting issue with how Internet Explorer (IE) displays the 'burnt in' annotations from Crocodoc. For example, as seen here, some highlighting is viewed within IE without visible text.
Workaround - view the assessment in Google Chrome.
Viewing Area Comments
Area comments written in Crocodoc and converted to Box appear as a red box and to view them requires hovering the mouse over the area. Sometimes the box displaying the comments appear slightly off-screen.
Workaround - use the collapsing and expanding tools in the top right hand side of the grades centre. Use both tool to remove the side panel. Clicking them again will bring the panel back.
Printing Migrated Crocodoc Annotations
To print out all migrated crocodoc annotations (only available for migrated annotations) you need to download the work first by clicking the download icon which is located top right (), open in Adobe PDF Reader and 'print…'. Before committing to print press the 'Summarize Comments' in the Comments & Forms section. This will append all the annotation submission comments to another page on the document for printing.

Frequently Asked Questions - Crocodocs to New Box View
What is "inline grading"?
Inline Grading is the ability to use a web browser to add annotations such as comments or highlighting a block of text on a student assignment attempts on Blackboard.
Who is affected by the change?
The change to New Box View will only affect instructors who used the Crocodocs (inline grading) feature in Blackboard only. If instructors enter feedback into the "Feedback for Learners" box in the Assignment grading screen, and provide a grade only, the change to the new tool will not affect your previous work.
When will this happen?
The change to New Box View will occur during the second week of January 2018, so we don't interrupt grading over the Christmas period.
Does this affect using the SafeAssign or Turnitin (Plagiarism Detection tool)?
No - accessing originality reports is not impacted by the change to New Box View.
Does this change affect using Rubrics in any way?
The transition won't impact using Blackboard Learn's rubrics or rubric data. Instructors will be able to use the same rubrics within the inline grading interface alongside the New Box View service. Rubrics are a separate feature that do not share code with the Crocodoc or New Box View service.
What happens to all of my work using Crocodocs (Inline_Annotations)?
Annotations made in Crocodoc will not be editable when they are migrated to New Box View – they will be burned into the document. This applies to any existing annotation on a submission in Crocodoc – regardless of whether the assignment has been released to students or not. While the Crocodoc service will technically reach end-of-life, the databases that contain student-submitted data and documents won't be deleted or destroyed. The data will still be available for migrations that occur after the end-of-life date, as well as for critical situations such as grade challenges. The Crocodoc service will display a "Service Unavailable" message to users after this date. Blackboard is working with Box to define a long-term strategy for the decommission of Crocodoc servers permanently.
Why are we doing this now?
We have no choice in the matter, and normally, would not implement a change like this during the academic year. Box has purchased Crocodocs and as such, Crocodocs will be deprecated (taken out of service) January 15, 2018. More on the acquisition in this article detailing the change.
Who can I contact with questions?
You can contact the LTT Team at email@example.com or by submitting a call via the IT Service Desk, we will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.

Dallas authorities have found the pricey telescope that went missing this week en route from Minneapolis to a NASA balloon facility in Palestine, Texas, WFFA-TV reports on its website.
News 8 has learned that science equipment heading from that was missing for days was found Wednesday evening.
Sources tell News 8, the load worth millions was discovered in its trailer in Dallas. The location of the trailer has not yet been released, but we've been told all of the equipment should be inside, because a protective seal in the back of trailer remains intact.
The Copeland Trucking semi and telescope left the University of Minnesota's School of Physics and Astronomy on Friday, but never made it to Palestine.
"It can't fly without this," one of the researchers tells WFFA. "These are the detectors. This is the telescope that's taking pictures of the sky. You don't have a telescope, you're not taking pictures of the sky."
The station also reports:
The company sent a team to find a driver this week. His GPS showed his last known location at the Flying J truck stop on Interstate 20 in Dallas.
Wednesday his cab was found at another truck stop just a few miles away. The driver was inside, but the trailer was not attached to the cab.

NEW PALTZ — It is not the graves themselves that veterans care about in Ulster County; it's the company that counts.
NEW PALTZ — It is not the graves themselves that veterans care about in Ulster County; it's the company that counts.
"It is hard to explain to a nonveteran. ... The guys who heard the bullets whistle with you have a special place in your life. There is a bond, this 'band of brothers' thing," said Vietnam veteran Ed Madson. "Lots of guys want to be laid to rest with other veterans."
So several Ulster County veterans have mounted a charge to secure their brothers-in-arms a cemetery of their own. It would put them on the same playing field as veterans in Sullivan and Orange counties. And, Madson said, it would save the families and friends of the deceased veterans a long drive. As it is, to be buried in a veterans cemetery, Ulster veterans have to go to Saratoga or Long Island, Madson said.
Last week, Madson and fellow veteran Joe Egan pitched the idea to the county's Arts, Education, Tourism and Community Relations Committee.
"They received us well. At least they are giving us the benefit of looking into it," Madson said.
Committee Chairwoman Sue Zimet set up a subcommittee to study the issue and named Madson to the group. Legislator Wayne Harris will head the subcommittee. It will also include Zimet and Legislators Sue Cummings and T.J. Briggs.
"If we can make it happen, we will try to make it happen," Zimet said. "If it is not feasible, we will understand why not, but at least we can study the issue, and if we can, let's by God go ahead and do it."
Terry Breitenstein, coordinator of the county's Veterans' Service Agency, will be on the subcommittee, too.
The potential location of the cemetery is critical, he said. Legislators will need to understand the costs involved in creating and operating the cemetery. The group will have to measure interest among county's 17,000 veterans and the public who will help pay for it, he said. Zimet said she hopes the group can report to the full Legislature by Memorial Day.
Mason seemed encouraged. "If there is a reason or cost that makes it impossible, at least we looked into it," Madson said, "but I don't see that happening."

Kudistan region of Iraq-focused Genel Energy PLC (LON:GENL) saw its shares push higher today as it announced that former Ophir Energy Plc (LON:OPHR) boss Dr William Higgs will take up the role of chief operating officer, with a broker upgrade also adding support.
The new hire comes as Paul Schofield steps down from the COO role as of October 16, with Higgs to start on November 6, the company said in a statement.
READ: Genel Energy details US$50mn gross oil payments from Kurdistan
Higgs has nearly 30 years' of global exploration, development and operations experience, including more than five years in executive roles for independent exploration and production (E&P) companies.
He previously spent 23 years at major Chevron (NYSE:CVX) in a variety of global roles, including reservoir management of the giant Tengiz oil and sour gas field in Kazakhstan.
Most recently, as COO for Ophir, he was responsible for managing the global asset portfolio.
Meanwhile, Genel also got a boost as Deutsche Bank upgraded its rating for the stock to 'hold' from 'sell' after more than doubling its target price to 154p from 72p in a review of European Exploration & Production companies.
In the note, the German bank's analysts said the upgrade follows Genel's "deal with the KRG on the past receivables it was owed and that any potential Turkish pipeline shut-down is likely to be temporary."
In late afternoon trading, Genel shares were 3% higher at 135.5p.

The West Coast Sales Manager of Rootes American Motors Inc., Ian Garrad, realized that the Alpine's image was that of a touring car rather than a sports car, and he set about changing its image, using the recent success of the Shelby Cobra as a guide. He and Rootes' Western Service Manager Walter McKenzie measured up several V8 engines and determined that Ford's new 164 hp (122 kW) 260 cu in (4.3 L) Windsor V8 engine would fit nicely between the frame rails.
Sunbeam asked Carroll Shelby to produce one functional prototype on a budget of $10,000. Shelby's prototype was fabricated by Shelby employee George Boskoff, and the result was judged to be good enough to send to England for production evaluation.
Seeking reassurance everything would fit, a second Series 2 Alpine was handed to Ken Miles. A talented racer and fabricator in his own right, Miles had just been employed by Shelby American. Using his own shop facilities, he managed to install a 260 cu.in. V8 and two-speed automatic into the Alpine in less than a week, at a total cost of $600. Having served its feasibility study purpose, the Miles prototype was kept by Rootes Motors Inc. Los Angeles for some time until its sale to a private buyer.
After doing extensive engineering studies Rootes Group subcontracted development and pre-production testing to Jensen, located in West Bromwich, England. Jensen went on to manufacture the Sunbeam Tiger. Production reached 7,085 cars over three distinct series (the factory only ever designated two, the Mark 1 and Mark 2; however, since the official Mark 1 production spanned the changeover in body style from the Series IV Alpine panels to the Series V panels, the later cars are generally designated Mark 1A by current Sunbeam Tiger enthusiasts). Mark 2 production totaled just 536 cars, and these Tigers, with the 200 hp (150 kW) 289 cu in (4.7 L) engine, are rare today. Both the Miles and the Shelby prototypes have survived, along with a number of other historically significant Tigers.
Production of the Tiger only lasted from 1964 until Chrysler purchased Rootes in June 1967. Chrysler could not be expected to sell a car with a Ford engine, but had no suitable replacement of its own: Chrysler's small-block V8 engines had the distributor positioned at the rear of the engine, unlike the front-mounted distributor of the Ford V8; their big-block V8 had a front-mounted distributor but was significantly larger. It was impossible to fit either into the Sunbeam engine bay without major and expensive revisions, thus the Tiger was canceled.
The Tiger was arguably more practical and commercially successful than the AC Cobra that inspired it, but its road and track performance was inferior. It did however increase the sporting cachet of the Sunbeam brand.
In popular media
While Sunbeam's Alpine roadster gained notoriety in 1962's Dr. No as being the first "Bond car" in the James Bond film series driven by the hero, the 1964 Tiger Series I gained some exposure on American television as the car of choice for Maxwell Smart on Get Smart. The Tiger was used for the first two seasons, and featured iconically in the opening credits with Smart screeching to a halt outside his headquarters. It would also, at times, feature in the episodes themselves, sometimes with typical modifications expected to be on cars of contemporary secret agents. After the second season, the Tiger was replaced on the show with the VW Karmann Ghia, and later the Opel GT.
The Tiger also featured in the 2008 film adaptation of Get Smart, along with the other two signature cars from the series.

I think one of the really good suggestions from the article linked above is to carry a whistle if you're going for a walk.
I'd just like some public officials to stand up acknowledge the trend and maybe tell us what the plans are to educate people or how they are talking to The Mass Environmental Police or other wildlife groups about monitoring the explosive growth in Coyote populations around here.
Here's a couple of articles from The Gloucester Daily Times all within the past few months with the latest being just two days ago.
We never had reports like this 8 years ago. To stick our heads in the sand and not publicly educate people when these incidents are piling up is just plain bananas to me.

I learned some things during all this, as the dirty clothes piles grew, and the dishes sat: life isn't in the things and how well we manage them... or let them manage us. It's in relationships. We need each other and when you're given a special opportunity to be there for someone, it's OK if "chores" come to a screeching halt for a little while.
I'm happy to report that my mother is home now and spending a few days at my sister's house for recuperation. So, to lighten her load tonight, I made this super quick and easy dish to take to her house while I visit with mom.
I thought this would be better for her since she's still not eating full meals and taking it easy on her tummy.
Creamy Chicken and Noodles
Boiled chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken from Publix)
Bag of large flat noodles ( I used Mueller's, but any brand will do)
garlic powder
Chicken broth
Poultry seasoning 1-2 TBSP
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
Chicken Broth (I used 3 cans - 15 oz each)
2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
salt and pepper to taste
To save time I bought the rotisserie chicken, but you can certainly boil your own and use that broth - then you won't have to use the canned broth.
Boil your noodles in the chicken broth. (You need only enough broth to just cover the noodles...unless you want to make soup instead)
Add all the other ingredients and cook another 5-8 minutes.
Note: You can also add sliced carrots, celery and onion to make it a heartier meal (but mom wasn't up for that)

On Monday, February 29, President Barack Obama awarded Navy SEAL Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Byers, the Medal of Honor. He received the award because of his heroic acts during a mission rescuing an American civilian held hostage by members of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Byers will become the sixth SEAL to receive this honor—the nation's highest medal for valor in combat.
The Navy's Special Warfare Development Group, known as SEAL Team Six, planned and executed a rescue mission in eastern Afghanistan to extract Dr. Dilip Joseph, an American citizen. This mission resulted in the death of a member of the team.
During the rescue, the team made its way to the place where Joseph was being held, and was fired upon by the insurgents. Byers ripped down blankets that covered the doorway, which exposed him to gun fire. Upon entry, the leader of the group was hit and the shooter was posed to aim next at Byers. Byers fired upon the shooter and tackled another person who turned out to be another guard of the hideout.
According to CNN, Joseph described the scene as "suddenly filled with men and exploding gunfire. Narrow beams of light shot in every direction. Voices called out his name. Joseph answered, 'I'm right here.'"
Hearing Joseph answer in English, Byers threw himself onto the hostage to shield the doctor with his own body. When an enemy shooter advanced upon them, Byers pinned the fighter to the wall until his teammates eliminated him.
Capping off his gallant deeds, Byers, a certified paramedic, performed CPR on Petty Officer 1st class Nicolas Checque during the 40-minute flight to Bagram Air Base.
"I'm going to continue being a SEAL and take whatever job or position is next for me." Byers stated.

How Pimco Shook Hands With The Fed — And Made A Killing…(Facism, Pure And Simple!)
Carrick Mollenkamp and Cezary Podkul
Through the second half of 2011, debate raged in financial markets over whether the U.S. Federal Reserve would embark on a third round of massive bond purchases, known as "quantitative easing," to shore up an anemic economy. Pacific Investment Management Co wasn't waiting to find out.
The giant fund-management firm, led by co-founder Bill Gross, started buying tens of billions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by federally sponsored agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In the third quarter of 2011 alone, Pimco's flagship Total Return Fund, the world's largest mutual fund, doubled its holdings of these securities to $80 billion, according to a Reuters review of trading and other data.
While Pimco was building its hoard, the Fed, in a surprise move long before any word on quantitative easing, said it would start buying more of the same kind of debt, known in the trade as "agency MBS." The U.S. central bank would acquire as much as $30 billion of the securities a month by reinvesting proceeds from its earlier purchases. Prices rose.

So Much for Being Recession-Proof, Electronic Arts Warns
Electronic Arts (ERTS) this afternoon warned that its revenue and earnings for the March 2009 fiscal year would be below the guidance it provided on Oct. 30. The old forecast was for non-GAAP revenue of $5 billion to $5.3 billion, and non-GAAP EPS of $1 to $1.40 a share. The company said it will not provide any updated guidance for FY '09 before it reports FY Q3 results in February.
The videogame company said that the revised expectations are primarily the result of lower than expected sales in North America and Europe.

Dylanglen Stud took Asham Maverick, Yggdrasil Babette & Dun Manus Mathilda to the Culcairn Show this year. Asham Maverick came home with two reserve champions and one champion!! Another extremely successful day out for Maverick & one of the most successful shows for Dylanglen Stud to date (along with last weekend at Lockhart).
Asham Maverick Results:
Champion Led Pure-Bred Connemara
First Led Pure-Bred Connemara Stallion, Colt or Gelding
Reserve Champion Led Native Pony

Yggdrasil Babette just out of the placings today.
It was great to see that the Connemara Classes were well represented with 5 pure-bred ponies and 2 part-bred ponies. The judge commented that the Connemara Class was the biggest stud pony class of the day which was nice to hear. There are 4 ponies in the line up pictured below.
It was a no pressure day for our first show with the girls. They handled everything with no fuss and behaved perfectly! They were all such good ponies.
Maverick waiting in-between classes, this photo was taken while the mares were in the ring. He was a bit closer to all the nice looking mares today at Culcairn (not as much room as there is at Albury or Lockhart) but Maverick handled himself like a true gentleman…of course! He also had to see what all the fuss was about at the side show.
Yggdrasil Babette in the show ring. Her first show with us and she behaved perfectly. Led classes only for this year.
Thanks again to Matt Lawry our photographer while also on daddy duty.
Dun Manus Mathilda is also at her first show with us after only having been at Dylanglen Stud for the past few months. Like Babette, Tildy is an absolute sweetheart!
Our beautiful girls in the line up today.

The slightly windy day didn't seem to upset any of the ponies, lucky the sun was out!

A combined effort today with John Adams driving the truck and travelling the ponies, Marion Adams washing & preparing ponies for the ring, Kirsty Adams washing, preparing ponies for the ring & showing in the ring, Matt Lawry washing & being photographer, Michaela Adams showing ponies in the ring & looking after Maverick.
We are so proud of this boy for his first show season. Champion Pure-Bred Connemara at Albury Show, Lockhart Show & Culcairn Show so far…

There is a great post on the blog, Adventures in Keeping House about discretion. I am going to be discussing this subject in light of the New Testament in the Ladies Bible Class tomorrow. The author of the blog has provided a definition of the word "discretion" and explained it at length in that post.
Discretion shall preserve thee; understanding shall keep thee. - Proverbs 2:ll
Discretion shall "keep" you means that if you acquire it, you'll be protected. In the prevailing culture around us, it is considered healthy to express things that would have gotten you a sound punch in the nose, back in the day, or "way back when." Now everyone must be so honest that they speak things that are personal, even about bodily functions, that even 50 years ago was so unacceptable that if spoken, could cause the loss of a job, the loss of social acceptance or, in some cases, the loss of a fiance'.
There are some people who object to manners being taught because they think they are stiff, formal rules, but the Bible says to be courteous and tenderhearted and loving. I Peter 3:8
Things that show lack of discretion are:
1. Subjecting others to embarrassment by not covering yourself appropriately, exposing too much: dressing immodestly.
2. Asking too many questions of a personal, or even impersonal nature, that keeps another person on the hot-seat trying to get the answers. Questioning is not always healthy, and can make another person feel very burdened. Questioning can become like cross-examination and make another person feel he is being put on trial. This is a type of impertinence.
3. Impertinence: This means to go beyond the limits by being pushy, demanding, or improperly forward. Forward is a word not used as much as it used to be. It was considered forward if a girl asked a boy for a date. It was considered forward if someone asked if they could come to your house for dinner or to ask for a gift. It was proper to wait and be asked.
4. Impishness: Annoyingly playful, thinking you are cute, while saying things that put others on the spot, or that are witty and even base, and can be perceived as naughty and trouble making.
5. Impudence: The 1828 dictionary describes impudence as: not attentive to the consequences of words or actions; rash; heedless. The imprudent man often laments his mistakes, and then repeats them. Other dictionaries describe it as a brash and brazen way of speaking and acting towards others. This is similar to pushy, arrogant behavior, as well as thinking you are awfully cute while you are doing it.
6. There may be a word for this, but I cannot think of it: the habit of making hasty, sharp replies. This can be perceived as a sudden rush to judgment of a matter before you have fully taken everything into consideration.
7. Imposing: To lay a burden on, to obtrude (push) fallaciously (expecting something from someone, deceitful, misleading.) Imposing today means to push your self on someone or take over something they are doing, or try to be the center of attention.
Training in discretion takes place best from childhood, but a habit can be broken, once the heart is penitent, the mind is teachable, and the soul is yearning for God.
Acquire instead:
Innocence: Purity of heart, blamelessness, not guilty. These words carry significance because the secret to being and looking innocent is to be blameless and free from sin. To acquire innocence even after you have lost it, you can apply yourself to living in a pure way. In speech, do not use innuendos, tell off-color stories, or make teasing remarks that refer to bodily functions or private acts. Living an innocent life will require removing things from your life that cause you to stumble spiritually, and things that pollute your mind and take you away from the joy of the Lord.
Composure: When a person learns to live an innocent life, free from cynicism and suspicion, there will be a change in their composure. Composure is similar to countenance, which the Bible speaks of. In Genesis, God warned Cain that if he would conquer his temper, his countenance would be lifted. Countenance refers to the expression on the face, including the look of the eyes, the smile, the set of the jaw. It can either be hardened or it can be sweet and innocent. Composure is effected by the way we think and live, so if you want a good composure, practice living innocently. Think of the word "pose" when you think of composure, and it will help you understand how to be at ease around other people without being too casual. Composure is closely connected to discretion. A discreet woman will be cautious about decisions and words and other things.

While Brazil may be famous for its larger-than-life carnival celebrations, it's a different music driven movement that's grabbed our attention. Underneath the sun, sand and sea rise a key community of producers creating a different shade of drum & bass to any other place in the world. 'The Future Sound of Brazil' is the next chapter of Hospital Record's seminal 'Future Sound of' series handpicking the finest talents that Brazil's shores have to offer.
We open the doors to the sound of Urbandawn, one of Hospital Record's newest signings. His perfectly polished musicality has set label boss London Elektricity in a spin, who regularly features Urbandawn's releases in his sets worldwide. His productions reflect the soul of Sao Paulo – vibrant, wide-awake and dance inducing. Urbandawn features on two tracks within the EP, a solo work 'Messiah Complex' and a paradisiacal collaboration with Bungle -'Sacred Floor' made for blue skies, beaches and sand between your toes.

B2B or business to business marketing has revolutionised the way that businesses relate to one another. In the past 15 years, B2B marketing has become a discipline in its own right, and it can now be supported by digital marketing strategies.
What is B2B Digital Marketing?
Business to business marketing is about meeting the needs of other businesses, although the demand for the products made by these companies is still driven by consumer choice. The internet is now the place where the majority of businesses get information about other companies, so in order to successfully engage in B2B marketing, your digital strategy and the online face of your business must be in optimum condition.
Post Regularly on Social Media
Social media accounts are wonderful tools that can really boost the online profile of your business, as long as they are used correctly. Every company should have a designated employee in charge of the social media accounts, who is qualified in this area and aware of the correct conduct and tone for online communications in this field. It's best if your company isn't on every social network, just the ones that will get the business talked about by ideal clients. Stick with Twitter if in doubt, and make sure that posts are regular and relevant.
Give Out Samples
Supplement your digital marketing strategy with tangible samples of your company's products or services. Delivery services like TNT Express provide special packages for businesses, meaning that you can ensure that products will be received the next day and in perfect condition. A mixture of digital and physical marketing is always a winning combination, as it shows your ideal clients what your business can offer on two levels.
Meet the Needs of Your Market
Don't make the mistake of only producing online content that discusses your company's products. Of course, some of your content should deal with this, but it is more valuable to put out relevant, useful information that meets the needs of your target market. Make your content work harder for you and do more than detail the benefits of your products.
Seek the Opinions of Others
Before you allow any piece of content to be released online that links back to your business, it has to adequately reflect the quality of your brand. It's essential that you get a couple of different opinions on pieces of content before you release them, to make sure that every digital piece of marketing you product is up to scratch.

Here's a glimpse of the Marathon project I've been working on.
There are a few more sketches I'm working on right now, so I'll post them as I complete them. I'll also update this first post to include any sketches that appear in later posts.
Edit: Images Found in Later Posts
(from Post #45)
(from Post #80)
(from Post #80)
(from Post #102, Post #93)
(from Post #105)
Edit: Information Found in Later Posts
Criticism is always welcome. I want to create designs that resonate with all Marathon fans, so your opinion does count! And if for any reason you don't want to post here, you can always send me a PM.
(from Post #102)
The Project Goal
This is an art project, not an attempt to create a playable scenario. Just as the characters underwent a design overhaul going from Marathon to Marathon 2: Durandal, so too will they evolve in their design for this project. The new look is intended to show the passage of time since the end of M2. Right now, the goal is to complete part of the visual design for this new and alternate era set in the M1/M2 universe.
(from Post #11, Post #4, Post #9)
The Story
The idea behind the story of Marathon 3: Salvation is that it picks up right where Marathon 2: Durandal left off, which (as a consequence) makes it an alternative to the story found in Marathon Infinity (in this universe, Infinity never happens). The goal with Salvation's story is to conclude the Marathon saga in a new and exciting way, while adhering to the original M1/M2 timeline.
(from Post #9, Post # 18)
The title of this project began as Oraculum, and was changed to Salvation as of Post #113.

Here's part 2 'CARRIE HABER' interview.
Part ONE can be found by clicking here!
Meeting Carrie was a pleasurable experience and can not wait to see her perform live again sometime soon.
Be sure to like her and check out all her 'YouTube' video's and maybe one day we'll meet up at one of her many shows?
dwfm : Now signed with 'Fairwood Music' what can we look forward to?
C.H : At the moment it's a really exciting time, just the beginning really.
What I can confirm is that I've been signed to a 3 year contract, which means I'm an official songwriter now. I can call myself that now it's my job, it's amazing.
Also I wrote a song which was originally written as a jingle and it got selected by a Danish jewelry company. They're using the song for their advertising campaign in Germany. I'm also going to release it as a single.
dwfm : What's your favorite cover song you've done?
C.H : Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams' but I really like 'I Wanna Be loved By You' by Marilyn Monroe, I really enjoy performing that one.
dwfm : 'I wanna Be Loved By You' That's a bit sexy that song. C.H I do it in a more cute way, I add a Carrie flavor to it haha.
dwfm : Was it your choice to move to the UK to further your career or were you asked?
C.H : It's funny because everyone knew I was going to move to the UK before I did, including my parents. 'Tony Moore' who runs the music night at 'The Bedford' was doing a music program in Malta oddly enough, really random. I was asked to perform at the same gig he was at. I lent him my keyboard so that he could perform as well. He saw my performance and invited me on the program, he welcomed me each week to convince me it was a good idea to come to the UK. After a few months I came to London, I did a few gigs went back several months later came back did it again.
I realized each-time I was really impressed by the standards of music in London. I was inspired by it every-time. I always went back to Malta with this energy and excitement and realized I was missing out. It just made me see beyond Malta.
dwfm : What's your favorite pass time? C.H : I love going to the park. I love shopping, I love these independent cafe's. I love to go to a cafe and read, that's my idea of heaven.
dwfm : Via your facebook you talked about 'She Loves Me Loves Me Not' 'In My Hands' and other songs, where are they all?
C.H : I'm recording 'In My Hands' at the moment. I took some of my old videos down because of the quality. It was important for me that what is available is really clear and looks professional.
dwfm : You were a guest singer on a track called 'Alien' was this your 1st experience in your music career?
C.H : It wasn't the beginning of my career it was a favour for a friend if I'm honest, called 'Demis'. It was more about his guitar playing, he wanted an album to show off his guitar skills. I tend to try out different things.
I've also done hip-hop stuff as well. I wasn't' exactly the official singer but I went to France with a hip-hop band about 6 or 7 years ago. We kind of represented Malta in this festival called 'Europa Vox' in France, that was fun. They were called 'Sick Symphonies' they've now split up into different groups.
dwfm : How do you deal with criticism?
C.H : I've come a long way with that. In the beginning my mum was always very straight with me, it helped. My Grandmother was my teacher from a young age. I was used to being told "No that's not right" having said that, hearing it from other people it became more of a reality check.
That was one of the amazing things about coming to London people are always very honest with me. My stage performance had to change, the way I spoke had to change the most, the way I pronounced things and addressed things. I'm very to the point, maybe I'm a little more quirky the way I talk. It's all been a learning experience. I love criticism I go looking for it, I ask people to tell me what's wrong with this or that, that's the way to learn.
dwfm : What the best advice can you give for anyone in music?
CH: As an artist having someone in your life that you know is always going to give you a shoulder to cry on, be honest with you, says what you need to hear at the time, be supportive of you and will always be there when you need, is very important.
If it's a family member or a teacher or anybody, in my case it was definitely my vocal coach 'Line Hilton' she helped me out so much. Make sure you know what you want and be ready to be disappointed. That's the true test, when you get through disappointment and continue. You need to want it enough, you can't just wake up and say I'm going to try it out. It's not that easy.

Sean Dyche expects yet another difficult challenge when Leeds United pay visit to Turf Moor tomorrow afternoon.
Burnley face their third league game in just six days having picked up four points from two away trips to Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City.
The Clarets are back at home on Saturday taking on a Leeds side that have found themselves on the receiving end of two heavy defeats at the hands of Bolton Wanderers and Reading at Elland Road in their last two matches.
The two results have seen the Yorkshire club drop down to 15th place in the Championship table.
However, this is exactly why the Burnley manager believes tomorrow's visitors might pose an even more serious threat.
He told his pre-match press conference yesterday: "They can be a wounded animal at the minute. You can't define that.
"They've had a couple of indifferent results that they wouldn't have been happy with. I've seen [both those games], actually, but they've got more to offer.
"I know their squad, manager and coach Nigel Gibbs – all good people who work very hard. It is Leeds United and, let's make no mistake, if you look on paper, they have a fair squad.
"As ever, we don't take anything for granted. We have to be right on top of our game and certainly at our best performance levels.
"We made it clear that we're ready to go every week and we will be again when the whistle blows."
The Clarets have this week completed a full calendar year without a home league defeat – since promotion-bound Hull City ran out 1-0 winners at Turf Moor on 11 March 2013.
In fact, Chelsea remain the only other team unbeaten on their home soil in all four professional divisions of English football this season.
And Dyche has once again reiterated the importance of the support from the Burnley crowd as his side look to extend the 21-game sequence ahead of another big occasion at Turf Moor.
He added: "It is a great value to the place.
"I think there will be even more home fans [on Saturday] and that can only bode well for the club, both on and off the pitch.
"It is important and I've mentioned it many times: the club is there for the community and the community is there for the club.
"This is the thinking here and I've learned not only to value, but become accustomed to the care and attention from both parties since I've been here.
"And never more so than when we're winning and doing well, of course!
"We really value it and we want people in the building. We want them to make a lot of noise and get behind the team.
"It is really important that they support us as they have done."
