However, if you gather the right tools and familiarize yourself with the process, ripping DVDs is a piece of cake. Once you've done it once or twice, you'll be able to digitize your entire library with ease.
Please be aware of the rules and regulations regarding DVD rips in your region. Ripping your physical copy of Lord of the Rings as a backup may seem like an innocent precaution, but it's always best to make sure that what you're doing is actually legal.
Getting Started
Before we rip anything, we need to collect the right tools for the job. First, we'll need Handbrake, an open source 10 Free Open Source Windows Tools Hosted on GitHub Microsoft is the organization with the most open source contributors on GitHub. To celebrate this achievement, we have compiled a list of the best free Windows tools you can download from GitHub. Read More video transcoder that's available here. Download the software and install it on your computer.
Next, we'll need a utility that's able to break through the copy protection on your DVDs. We're going to use a tool called libdvdcss that's available for 32-bit systems here, and for 64-bit systems What's the Difference Between 32-Bit and 64-Bit Windows? What's the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows? Here's a simple explanation and how to check which version you have. Read More here.
Now we need to move libdvdcss-2.dll to the Handbrake folder that was created when we installed the software. This is located at C:\Program Files\Handbrake, unless you specified otherwise.
With all that done, we're ready to start ripping.
Ripping Your DVD
Insert a DVD into your computer and open up Handbrake. Choose your DVD drive from the Source Selection menu.
The software will now scan your disc. This may take a little while.
Next, we need to tell Handbrake exactly what we want to rip. To do so, we need to tweak our Source settings.
I used the Title dropdown to ensure that I'm ripping the whole movie. Alternatively, I could choose to rip only a single chapter. This is useful when you're ripping individual episodes of a TV show How to Hide Spoilers and Get Random Episodes on Netflix Are you addicted to Netflix? If so, you've probably noticed that the interface could do with a few tweaks here and there. Read More from a DVD.
Proceed to the Destination section and use the Browse button to choose where the file will be saved.
It's up to you where it goes, but choose a sensible name so you can find it later on. A well-organized movie library removes the hassle from movie night.
Next, make a selection from the list of Presets. It's a compromise between image quality, resolution, and the time it takes to rip the video, so take that into account. Fast 1080p30 is the default, and it'll suit the needs of most users. If you're planning to watch your video on a particular device, check out the Devices section of the list.
With all that done, it's start the process. Click the Start Encode button.
This will probably take some time, so throw some popcorn in the microwave while Handbrake does its thing. Once the rip is complete, test your file out using your preferred media player.
What Next?
Now that you've learned how to rip DVDs, you can start transforming your PC into a fully fledged media center.

Report: Decline in U.S. Meat Consumption Expected to Continue in 2012
Meat consumption has been on the decline in the United States over the last few years – a trend that, according to a new report, is expected to continue through 2012.
According to Mercy For Animals (MFA), a new Daily Livestock Report 2010 was the fourth year in a row that Americans' consumption of meat has declined. The trend is expected to continue in 2012, despite the growth of the U.S. population. The biggest decline is expected to occur in beef consumption, with many people opting for chicken instead. MFA says that this causes even more animals to suffer as it takes more chickens to produce the same amount of meat from a single cow. However, they state that consumption of meat, including chicken, overall has declined in the U.S.
Concern for animals is one reason, but not the only reason that Americans are eating less meat. Economic struggles have caused many individuals and families to change the food they're buying. According to the Chicago Tribune, this year "high unemployment in the world's wealthiest nation had cash-strapped Americans avoiding restaurants where beef is a common entree and had them switching to lower cost non-meat dishes at home." To boost sales, beef companies are selling cheaper cuts of meat or smaller portions as well as exporting their products to countries where demand for beef is increasing.
Along with animal welfare concerns and increasing meat prices, health has become a concern as the risks associated with consumption of animal products have been increasingly covered in the media. The film Forks Over Knives continues to inspire viewers to try veganism to improve their health, and in some cases reverse conditions like diabetes. Celebrities have joined in the group of people going veg after seeing the film, including Russell Brand, Ozzy Osbourne, Eliza Dushku and Carrie Ann Inaba.

A new guide drawn up by UK payments association Apacs aims to explain the terminology used on credit card statements to consumers who might not understand everything that is contained in them, the body says (www.moneyexpert.com).
Research conducted by the group found that 50 per cent of adults rarely check their credit card statements - and a shocking four per cent said they never check them at all.
Sandra Quinn, director of communications at Apacs, says that the advice guide will "highlight the importance of checking the statement thoroughly and explaining what to do if you are having trouble making repayments".
In related news, the association has also highlighted the need for card users to be aware of online fraud.

The Maserati Indy (Tipo AM 116) is a four-seater fastback grand tourer produced by Italian car manufacturer Maserati from 1969 to 1975.
The Indy was conceived as an alternative to the Ghibli offering a V8 engine and room for four people; it effectively replaced both the ageing six-cylinder 2+2 Maserati Sebring—which descended from the 1957 3500 GT— and the first generation Quattroporte. Two coachbuilders showed their proposals at the November 1968 Salone dell'automobile di Torino, both based on a Maserati 4.2-litre chassis. On Ghia's stand there was the Simùn, a 2+2 berlinetta designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro; on Carrozzeria Vignale's, a sleek 4-seater fastback penned by Giovanni Michelotti. Both coachbuilders had already an established relationship with Maserati, as Vignale had been responsible for the 3500 GT Spyder, Mexico and Sebring, while Giugiaro had recently penned the Ghibli at Ghia.
Vignale's prototype was preferred, and the production model was launched by Maserati at the Geneva Motor Show the following March. The car was christened Indy in honour of Maserati's two victories at the Indy 500.
At its launch in 1969 the Indy was offered with a 4.2-litre V8 engine. From 1970 a 4.7-litre Indy 4700 was offered alongside the 4200; the same year some interior updates were introduced, including seats with retractable headrests and a new dashboard. In 1972, Maserati added the Indy 4900 to the range, equipped with the new 4.9-litre V8.
Production of the Indy ended in 1975. In total 1,104 were produced, 440 of them Indy 4.2s, 364 Indy 4.7s and 300 Indy 4.9s.
The Indy used unibody construction. The suspension layout was shared with the Ghibli. At the front there were double wishbones, with coaxial hydraulic dampers and coil springs, and an anti-roll bar. At the rear there was a live axle with semi-elliptic springs, a single longitudinal torque arm, hydraulic dampers and an anti-roll bar. Brakes were vented and servo-assisted discs on all four wheels. The engines were Maserati's own all-aluminium, four overhead cam Tipo 107 V8 family, and were fed by four Weber 42 DCNF twin-choke carburettors; they had a wet sump, and were thus related but different from the higher output, dry sump Tipo 115 units of the flagship Ghibli.

It's unfair of me to combine reviews of Olaf Stapledon's fraternal twin opuses, Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future (1930) and Star Maker (1937), both of which are distinct and singular fictional pieces, yet the vast scope of both novels has dazed me in such a way that all I can really do is think of them as a pair, a pair which I think of fondly, reflect upon regularly, and recommend heartily. Their metaphysical and conceptual grandeur is so significant, I am more than a bit mystified in the review department. Is there anything fresh to say after 80 publication years, two billion future history years, and one star maker mind meld? Continue reading

Odd John: A Story Between Jest and Earnest (1935) by Olaf Stapledon
I warned visitors in my last monthly post that my prescribed TBR as of late has wandered into more modern, mainstream fare (in other words, blah). As we know, I am a stubborn sort of reader, and I stick to my list, but I found a little extra time this month to indulge a little craving for something even older than my usual comfort zone. A sudden desire to spend my evening strolls listening to a pulpy dramatized space opera motivated me to look for that Jack Williamson retro Hugo nominee from last year—but then I stumbled across Odd John by Olaf Stapledon.
I've had bad luck with the childish space dramas of the 1930s but I've been promised by several good authorities that Olaf Stapledon is a special kind of 1930's SF writer. They weren't kidding. Continue reading

Devise a plan of lifestyle modifications for the prevention of skin cancer. Discuss the role of mutation testing in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic melanoma and the impact of the test on choosing drug therapy. Explain the goals of therapy for the treatment of the different stages of nonmelanoma and melanoma skin cancer. Compare and contrast the pharmacologic treatment options that are available for patients diagnosed with nonmelanoma and melanoma skin cancer. Suggest management options for patients experiencing adverse effects of pharmacologic therapy. ++ INTRODUCTION ++ Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all malignancies occurring in humans, and in the United States, it accounts for more than 50% of all cancers.1 The most common cutaneous malignancies are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and malignant melanoma (MM). BCC and SCC are categorized as nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). It is estimated that more than 3.5 million cases (in more than 2 million people) of BCC and SCC and more than 100,000 cases of melanomas are diagnosed in the United States each year.1 NMSC and MM differ with regard to prognosis, metastatic potential, mortality, curability, and treatment options.2 ++ MELANOMA ++ EPIDEMIOLOGY AND ETIOLOGY ++ MM is the most common serious form of skin cancer, and the lifetime risk of developing it is 1 in 37 for men and 1 in 56 for women.1 Approximately 73,870 new cases of melanoma are predicted to occur in 2015.3 Melanoma represents about 2% of all skin cancers in the United States, but it accounts for 75% of all skin cancer deaths.1 The incidence of melanoma is not evenly distributed among all populations; race, gender, and age confer different rates. The annual incidence rate per 100,000 is 1 for blacks, 4 for Hispanics, and 25 for non-Hispanic whites.3 While women are more likely to develop melanoma than men before the age of 50, the converse occurs after the age of 50, with men having double the incident rate at age 65 and triple the rate at age 80 compared to women.4 The change in risk may be due to the different level of sun exposure, be it occupational or recreational, through the lifetime of a particular sex. Even though incidence rates have significantly increased in the last 30 years, the rate among young age groups has leveled off; the incidence rate for men and women 50 years of age or older increased 2.6% per year from 2007 to 2011 but was relatively stable for those below age 50. ++ RISK FACTORS ++ Environmental ++ The risk factors for developing MM can be categorized as environmental factors and host factors.

"What a very odd thing … to live and leave no mark."
— The English Wife, Lauren Willig
I was really excited to read The English Wife by Lauren Willig. As a gothic murder mystery set in the late 1800s, it seemed like it would be full of mystery, intrigue, and all of the fun stuff needed for a historical fiction thriller. I did enjoy some parts of this novel (particularly ones with Mr. Burke, I think he may have been my favorite character), but it just didn't do it for me.
The English Wife starts with Bayard Van Duyvil being found with a knife in his chest and his wife, Annabelle, missing. One side thinks Annabelle is a victim and had been drowned by the real culprit, the other side thinks she is the one who killed her husband. With the mystery surrounding this crime, the press is all over the story and Janie Van Duyvil (Bayard's sister) sets out to find the truth. Janie forms an alliance with James Burke, a reporter hellbent on solving this case, to figure out who killed her brother and what happened to Annabelle.
My biggest issue with this book is the pacing. This book starts out fast-paced with the crime happening right in the first five pages, but then it jumps to five years prior with a character not mentioned prior or in any synopses telling the story. It then continues to jump between 1899 and the years prior (sometimes even in the middle of a chapter). For me, this threw the pacing off. The earlier chapters are very slow and build backstory to of Bayard and Annabelle's marriage. The chapters that take place in 1899 alternate between slow and fast-paced. Some parts of the 1899 story were about solving the crime and others were building a strange relationship between all of the other characters. Honestly, I felt like I was getting whiplash from how often the pace changed.
Another issue I had with this book was the characters. I didn't feel connected to any of them. Not Bayard, not Janie, and especially not Annabelle. They didn't come to life on the page for me. I didn't even feel any love between the characters. Bayard and Annabelle's relationship felt forced and confusing. Janie seemed to have no relationship with Bayard which made me really confused as to why she was so determined to solve her brother's murder. I didn't understand the purpose of Anne, Janie and Bayard's cousin, and what part she played other than to make Janie's life difficult (also, with her name being so close to Annabelle, it just made things even more confusing).
And then there were Bayard and Annabelle's children. I have absolutely no clue why they were in this story. They added nothing and I mean absolutely nothing. They didn't make me believe Bay and Annabelle's marriage more, they were kept in the dark about the crime, and they seemed to just get in the way. I'm not sure what Willig wanted to accomplish with including them, but I didn't see a point to them.
Overall, I think Willig did succeed in creating a mystery because I wasn't fully expecting the twist at the end, but this book gets two and a half out of five stars from me. It went on too long and I didn't really understand the point of this story.

Your best bet for the most accurate and comprehensive information is Statistics Canada's database CANSIM - The Canadian Socio-Economic Information Management System.
The easiest way to start searching it is to use "The Daily" which is a daily digest of data collected by Statistics Canada.

At a forum in Reston, Virginia on Tuesday, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg threw her most recent bucket of cold water on Courtwatchers urging her to retire while President Obama is still in the White House. A justice should remain "as long as she can do the job full steam," according to Ginsburg. "At my age, you take it year by year. I'm OK this year."
Ginsburg also cited Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall, both liberal justices who retired under President George H.W. Bush. Yet, while Bush's selection of the moderately liberal Justice David Souter to replace Brennan only moved the Court marginally to the right, his decision to replace America's most significant civil rights attorney with the staunchly conservative Justice Clarence Thomas may be the most consequential Supreme Court appointment since Chief Justice Earl Warren joined the bench in 1953.
Marshall was in poor health when he left the Court, but he survived until a few days after President Clinton took the oath of office. Had Clinton selected Marshall's replacement instead of Bush, the Citizens United case would have been an obvious loser that likely never would have been filed. There would likely be five votes on the Supreme Court to abolish voter ID laws. Practices like forced arbitration, which cause consumers and workers to sign away their right to sue businesses in a real court, would be far less widespread and likely would not exist at all in employment contracts. A 1992 Supreme Court decision significantly limiting the right to choose an abortion would have come down the other way — and Roe v. Wade would likely have five solid votes on the Supreme Court.
The Voting Rights Act — all of it — would still be good law.
If a future Republican president has the opportunity to replace Justice Ginsburg, the results could be no less consequential. Here's a short list of decisions that would immediately become vulnerable if Ginsburg's vote went to a conservative justice:
- No More Marriage Equality: United States v. Windsor — the decision striking down the unconstitutional Defense of Marriage Act — was a 5–4 decision with Ginsburg in the majority. If Ginsburg is replaced by another conservative, DOMA could roar back to life. At the very least, the nation's drive towards nationwide marriage equality could come to a screeching halt.
- Criminalizing Sex: Although Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down Texas' "sodomy" law, was a 6–3 decision, one of those six justices has since been replaced by the staunchly conservative Justice Samuel Alito. If another member of the Lawrence majority is replaced, it could lead to gay sex being outlawed entirely in several states. Lawrence's holding, however extends far beyond gay couples to prohibit laws criminalizing non-commercial sexual activity between consenting adults. Thus, if Lawrence falls, the government could find its way into every American's bedroom.
- The End of Abortion Rights: Roe v. Wade is already on life support. Indeed, Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is the so-called swing vote on abortion, hasn't voted to strike a law restricting the right to choose in 21 years. Nevertheless, Kennedy provided the key fifth vote to retain "the essential holding of Roe v. Wade" in a case called Planned Parenthood v. Casey. If Ginsburg is replaced by a conservative, there will likely be only four votes willing to retain that holding.
- Watering Down Minority Votes: Five justices voted in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry to strike part of a Texas redistricting map because it tried to protect an incumbent Republican congressman by reducing the impact of Latino voters. If Ginsburg is replaced by a conservative, these kinds of tactics could become common.
- Executing Children & The Intellectually Disabled: There are almost certainly four votes on the Supreme Court to permit executions of children and the intellectually disabled. Ginsburg's replacement could be the fifth.
- Judges for Sale: Four justices joined a dissent arguing that there's nothing wrong with a wealthy businessman spending $3 million to place a judge on a state supreme court — only to have that judge cast the key vote to overturn a $50 million verdict against the businessman's company. Ginsburg's replacement could places judges up for sale.
- Millions Without Health Care: Finally, the decision that largely preserved the Affordable Care Act was a 5–4 decision, with four justices voting to repeal Obamacare in its entirety. If those four justices gain a fifth vote, it could not only strip millions of Americans of the health insurance that they will soon gain under this law, but it could toss the entire American health care system into chaos. Among other things, if the dissent's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety were to actually happen, Medicare could lose its ability to pay claims until the agency that administers the program completed a lengthy rulemaking process that can take months.
This list, of course, is only a small sample of the things that could happen if Ginsburg is replaced by a conservative. A full list would be much, much longer.

Could There Be an Easy Explanation for GoPro Inc.'s Falling Sales?
Shares of GoPro Inc. have been slammed in 2015 as investors became disenchanted by a floundering growth story and a mismanaged launch of the Hero4 Session. There are a lot of negative narratives for the company this year, as some of my fellow Fools have correctly pointed out.
Continue Reading Below
But one dynamic I don't see discussed much is how inventory could be playing a big role in GoPro's declining sales toward the end of this year. Now that the company is no longer in a buildout of its sales network, it's not rapidly building channel inventory that makes sales look better than they really are. Let me explain how this could be playing out at GoPro.
GoPro Hero4 Session has been the cause of a lot of investor angst in 2015. Image source: GoPro.
How inventory drove GoPro's sales growth One of the strange secrets of product sales through retail channels is that an expanding network boosts sales without ever-growing consumer demand. If GoPro added 5,000 new retail locations in 2015 and each location needs 20 GoPro units for their inventory, the company will sell 100,000 units before one ever reaches a customer's hands. And GoPro's revenue doesn't depend on an actual sale to a user; it only requires a sale to a retailer or distributor. So, GoPro's sales numbers really tell us more about a retailer's demand than it does about how much consumer demand is growing. This is important for GoPro this year.
Consider that the 25,000 retail locations GoPro says it is selling through around the world will need inventory. If we assume that each retailer needs 20 units of inventory, there's demand for 500,000 GoPros that haven't hit consumers' hands yet. When you compare that to the 6.97 million GoPros that have been sold over the past year, it's a big, big percentage of the company's business. As the retail network is growing, these sales are called "filling the channel" and it make sales look great for a while.
Below, I've created a table that shows what filling the channel can do for sales in a fast-growing retail network. The number of retailers in the table grows from year 1 to year 3 and inventory builds correspondingly. Consumer sales are flat for each of the four years. ButGoPro would see them rise to 700,000 units and then crash by 29% in year 4, to 500,000. Not coincidentally, this is the true demand for GoPro's cameras in this example.
Calculations by author.
You can see that filling the channel helps boost both sales and growth beyond what real end market demand is. For a fast-growing business, this can make growth look even better than it is. But when the channel is full, the good times can stop quickly.
The inventory problem for GoPro Filling the channel isn't a catalyst that can drive sales forever, and there are indications that retail partners may already be playing a smaller role in GoPro's business. In 2014, sales direct from GoPro to customers were 59% of sales, up from 52% in 2013. Another data point that supports this thesis is that accounts receivables were flat in the third quarter, which wouldn't be the case if GoPro were adding a significant number of retailers.
If direct sales are growing, it actually make sense that the number of retailers carrying GoPros is steady, if not falling, which could make GoPro's revenue fall even if end consumer demand is flat. With that in mind, look at the chart of GoPro's trailing-12-month revenue. It has some of the same characteristics as the channel-filling dynamic I pointed out above.
Data source: GoPro's earnings releases. Chart by author.
Could inventory be GoPro's problem in 2015? GoPro's disappointing fourth-quarter guidance of $430 million to $445 million in revenue was what freaked out investors and slammed the company's shares over the past couple of months. But there could be an easy and logical explanation for some of the disappointment. The lack of new retailers with inventory to fill in 2015 may be a driver of that weak guidance.
I'm not saying this is the only reason GoPro's sales are going to be down in the fourth quarter, and this isn't to suggest it won't have challenges growing now that it's selling the Hero4 Session for $199. But understanding how inventory has helped drive sales growth over the past few years and why it may now be a drag on revenue, even if consumer demand is flat, is important for investors.

He may play Iron Man on the big screen, but Robert Downey Jr. is definitely human. The action star was injured on set Wednesday, and production has been shut down temporarily on the upcoming Iron Man 3.
Downey hurt his ankle while filming a stunt for the sequel, which will follow the nanotech Extremis storyline introduced in the comic run. It doesn't seem to be too serious, and Marvel issued a short statement saying things should be back up and running following a short delay:
Robert Downey Jr. sustained an ankle injury on the set of Iron Man 3 in Wilmington, North Carolina while performing a stunt. There will be a short delay in the production schedule while he recuperates.
Downey is known for wanting to push his limits, and we're glad to hear it was only a minor injury. He better be careful—Avengers 2 will probably ramp up soon after Iron Man 3 winds down. So save some of that spunk for the next one.
The sequel is being written and directed by Shane Black and stars Downey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jon Favreau, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton.
The studio is eyeing a May 3, 2013, release date.

Vista Notes, Episode #2: Sleep vs. Hybrid Sleep
In this second episode of my ongoing series entitled "Vista Notes" (wherein I expound on an interesting feature I've found in my daily use of Windows Vista), I wanted to discuss the new "Sleep" and "Hybrid Sleep" features.
To discuss these modes, we first need to define two other terms:
Standby is Windows' name for ACPI mode S3. In this mode the PC shuts down most components, but leaves enough power going to keep the main memory powered.
Pros: Goes into standby fast. Comes out fast
Cons: Uses up a small amount of power. If the battery dies (or is removed), all data in memory will be lost.
Hibernate is Windows' name for ACPI mode S4. In this mode, the PC saves the contents of RAM to disk (in a file called hiberfil.sys), and then turns itself off completely.
Pros: Slow to go into Hibernate. Slow to come out.
Cons: Uses up no power. Computer can lose all power and still recover.
As many people know (in particular, thanks to a recent article by Joel Spolsky), Windows Vista promotes a feature called "Sleep".
Here's what happens with normal Sleep on Vista.
- First the laptop goes into Standby.
- Then, if the battery gets into a critical state, or a certain time passes (configurable in the Power Options CPL), the laptop will wake briefly from Standby and go into Hibernate (which doesn't use battery life).
This is the default behavior on a laptop. The idea is that under most circumstances, your laptop will go into power-saving mode fast, and come back out fast (you can be back to your desktop in 2 seconds or less -- about as long as it takes to open the lid of the laptop).
It's also safe, because it'll save your data if the battery goes critical.
Hybrid Sleep
Hybrid Sleep is designed for desktops, not laptops. In Hybrid Sleep mode, when you click Sleep, the computer does two things:
- Saves all of your data to disk as if it was going into Hibernation
- Goes into standby. It stays in standby permanently (unless you change the setting in the Power Options CPL to make it Hibernate fully at some point).
The idea is that this is better than normal sleep because if the desktop loses power while in sleep mode ("cat chews through the power cable" scenario), it will still be able to recover because all of the data was saved (this confused me at first until I remembered that desktops don't have batteries, so there is no way for them to "wake up from standby and go into hibernate mode" if power is lost).
It's also better than using Hibernate on the desktop because, unless you lost power in the interim, you'll get the fastest-time-to-desktop behavior of standby.
On the downside, going into Hybrid Sleep mode is slower than normal Sleep mode (because it as to do all of the saving-to-disk as if it was going into Hibernate), which is why it is off-by-default on laptops. It's also not useful on a laptop unless you're in the habit of yanking out the battery from the laptop completely while it's in sleep-mode.
Fun stuff.

Update: Wierd. Jim wrote a post on Vista power saving for the Vista Team blog, which covers these two features (and others) in detail. He scooped me.

The Stupendously spectacular spelling bee - India is also a champion speller but so far her talents have been limited to spelling in front of the television.
"India Wimple could spell. Brilliantly. On Friday nights, she and her family would huddle in front of the TV in their pyjamas, in their small house in Yungabilla, and watch the Stupendously Spectacular Spelling Bee."
As the story begins the family are watching the finals of the spelling bee on television. The finals are held at the Sydney Opera House. When the winner is announced the compare seems to look straight at India when she says the next spelling bee champion could be you! And so their journey begins. India competes at the district level, regional finals and on to the grand final at the Sydney Opera House.
The Wimple's are battlers. Dad has lost his job and is working as a the town handyman. The town of Yungabilla has hit hard times and so dad is mostly paid with baked goods and IOUs. Mum has left her job to look after Boo, India's brother, who suffers from very bad asthma. Nanna Flo has also moved in with the family.
When the family reach Sydney everything seems to fall into place. Checking into the aptly named Hotel Grand the family are upgraded at no extra cost to the Grand Plaza Suite. "There were four bedrooms with king-sized beds, a kitchen stocked with food and a spa the size of a small pool." The contestants and their families are taken on a tour of Sydney which ends at Kirribilli House where they meet the Prime Minister.
"Outside, waiters were putting the finishing touches on an equally long table filled with trays of sandwiches and cupcakes and, in the centre, a bubbling chocolate fountain surrounded by strawberries and marshmallows."
India has two main rivals in the bee. A boy called Rajish who knows he wants to be friends with India and a girl called Summer. Summer is a lonely rich girl. She is despicable to India and yet India finds a way to show amazing kindness.
Every chapter features a spelling word and definition. Here are a few of them :
tremulous, disconcerting, valorous, endeavour, disquietude, perspicacious (one of my favourite words) and splendiferous.
I think I smiled from page one to page 232 reading this book. This whole story is like a fairy tale - so many absolutely perfect things happen to the Wimple family and their talented daughter India. Yes there are some disasters - the car breaks down on the way to the regional final, Boo has an extremely bad asthma attack and has to be taken to hospital, India arrives at the grand final in her pyjamas - but magically everything works out. The other feature of this book that I really enjoyed was the totally authentic Australian flavour. When the family step out onto the balcony of their grand hotel room this is the view :
"It's like being on top of the world,' Boo said. And it was. For the Wimples at least. They'd never been anywhere so high or so grand. Dad pointed out all the famous landmarks. 'There's the Harbour Bridge, and the Royal Botanical Gardens and ... Luna Park!"
Here is a set of teaching notes. This book would make an excellent class read-a-loud especially if your class are participating in a spelling bee. You might also enjoy Bungawitta, The Big Bazoohley, Fortune Falls, and Speechless.

This is a fast-paced and engaging book. Abela wonderfully captures the caring spirit of family and community.
Striving for a dream, using the support of those around you, taking one step at a time, believing in yourself and allowing obstacles to become opportunities

December 13th is National Violin Day, a time to honor one of the most difficult instruments to play. Although when you consider how many calories you burn while playing the violin for an hour (170 calories), it seems well worth the effort, doesn't it?
Violins are complex instruments, not only in playing them but in building them. Each violin is composed of over 70 different pieces of wood. Originally, the strings of a violin were made of sheep gut which had been stretched and dried. Today, most strings are made of metal or synthetic material, like high-tech nylon.
You can learn even more about violins and other string instruments at the Maine Science Festival in March. The Bangor Symphony Orchestra string quartet will team up with a scientist to explain the science behind their instruments.
Visit our website for more information about the festival, our partners and collaborators, and other programming notes.

I've finally managed to set up my own-hosted WordPress blog. That is… a WordPress blog on my own domain which gives me far more options than using WordPress.com. In my case it was necessary to do this because I want to try and sell my work online and a blog on WordPress.com doesn't allow you to advertise and/or sell stuff.
I think it's fair to say that if you don't have a good idea of how everything fits together it's not a particularly easy task… whatever anyone might tell you:), (especially if you're not a natural techie:) But it's like anything new.. There's always a first time.
My advice would be to get as much general knowledge beforehand…Read up, Foundation Website Creation a downloadable text by Lane, Moscovitz, and Lewis is really helpful, or you could Google and so on. Also, ask around, friends and your online contacts – I found that bit quite hard:) It's not always easy to admit you don't understand something that everyone else seems to understand:) Take it from me they don't all understand and anyway, it's not all about that… it's about where you are and where you want to get to. The really nice discovery for me was that online strangers were often quite willing to offer really good and usually helpful advice, sortta makes you feel a whole lot better about humanity.
There's so many knowledgeable people out there so ask them about this do…. but what I learnt, very basically was:
If you want to move your old WordPress.com to your own domain.. First find a webhosting service that makes it easy. There's loads to choose from, ask friends; what they use might be a good starting point. The one I used has a one click transfer, which sounded dead easy but required a bit of understanding too:). Then to start with: keep it simple, make a front page (There's loads of choices of editor programs for doing this), again ask around, the page that is your front page should be named index.htm/html/xhtml/css/php (if you don't know what xhtml, css and php are, stick with basic HTML to start with) …I made a big mistake with this at first and had to ask for more help. The index.htm/html/xhtml/css/php goes inside your domain root folder – if you want to use images you should make a directory for them too (which is just good housekeeping, they could all go in the root-folder, but you'd soon have millions of files there, a bit like that kitchen drawer…) and upload those separately….
My main problem was that I didn't understand how the whole thing fitted together… The techie jargon is a bit daunting too. I sortta think I get it all, er…roughly :), now, but considering that a month ago I didn't know anything much about all this apart from a vague idea, I'm not beating myself up too much. A friend did try and explain it all a year or so back but I didn't really understand, got things a bit mixed up and all the information she gave me all at once actually confused me so much I almost got phobic about it! (Not her fault I hasten to add… I'm sure if I'd been more alert it would have made perfect sense ). I decided to link my first page to my blog only, but I suppose you could make links to lots of different places if you wanted to.. You don't need to make more than that first page to start with. Alternatively, You can make the the front page on your blog your domain's front page, but I didn't as I wasn't quite sure where to put the files in the root directory.
Then all you gotta do is remember to pay the hosting bill:)
Heartfelt thanks for online handholding go to: Jonas Anderson (Swedish blogger extrordinaire and co-writer of Sweden's best blogging online journal) and Ivan Pope (In my opinion one of the very best UK art blogs around.) Also, much thanks to other kind people on Twitter.com who offered help and ideas and not least to everyone who has commented here these past weeks, it's been really appreciated I can tell ya :) And please feel free to leave any further comments you think might be of help to me and to others, thanks.
So all I have do now is get going… Will post link to the new place here when I'm done with the final tidying.
And……. I'll need to start the new painting project……..:)

The Lost Tapes 1
This eight track collection is the first in a new cassette series from Berlin-based label CODE IS LAW. Founded in 2013 and run by Mørbeck, the label has primarily concentrated on no-nonsense Techno from producers like Eomac, Janzon, Under Black Helmet and Mørbeck himself, however this collection sees a subtle shift in focus with the introduction of more melody and experimentation.
Arranged in order of descending accessibility, the music opens with two tuneful cuts, the sweet electronica of The Lost Tape from newcomer WYAD, ably abetted by the towering Electric Dogs (arguably the best track on the compilation) from French producer Marnyc, another fledgling in the Techno scheme of things. This opening rush of melody soon wears off though with two sweet but pummelling cuts from SPECTA and Mørbeck before a brief injection of melody with the uplifting, circular refrain in Poetry In Motion from Janzon; the perfect blend of Electro and Techno. Mutant Beats from Under Black Helmet passes by with little fanfare before we end on a positive, albeit experimental note, with the not unpleasant textured and broken-beat sounds from Sawlin and Stefano Moretti.
7/10 after 13 listens
The Lost Tapes is released on Thursday 12th May 2016.

Nafessa Williams, who plays Anissa Piece, aka Thunder on Black Lightning, made her first appearance at ClexaCon this year. Her panel, moderated by Kia Barnes, was a great discussion about representation. Unfortunately, due to a very packed Saturday schedule, the Black Lightning panel was not well attended, but thankfully the entire panel was recorded and can be viewed on YouTube (see video below).
When Williams first found out about Thunder being a lesbian superhero, it was a no brainer for her to take the role. She loved how strong Anissa is and how unapologetically she lives her life and she's always wanted to play a superhero. Williams talked about not seeing herself on screen growing up and how important that is for young kids, especially in places like Philly, where she grew up. Williams said she's honored to be able to give the much needed representation to the fans. She also felt comfortable signing on for the role because she knew that the creators would be able to tell the story in a respectful manner.
To prepare for the role, Williams spoke to her LGBTQ family and friends to find out what coming out is like, so she could work out Anissa's backstory. She discussed how important it is to learn as much as you can because everyone's situation is different. She also talked about not thinking of gender as much as the root of the story and the relationship, which is love.
Williams mentioned multiple times during the panel how honored she is to take on such an inspiring role and it's heartwarming hearing from fans that they see themselves in Anissa. She also commented on how Anissa's boldness has inspired her to be more bold and be more unapologetic about who she is.
Black Lightning doesn't shy away from tackling social issues in a really real way and Williams thinks the show does a really great job of keeping it real and authentic. The goal is to spark change and you can't sugarcoat things in order to do that. She believes the creators and those who greenlit the show know that it's time for these stories to be told and hopes it's the spark of change that will lead to more positive representation on screen. Williams mentioned how proud she was to be part of the shift and the change.
Williams wasn't able to give us any spoilers for the rest of the season or season two, but she did say she hopes we'll see more of Anissa's love life with Grace in season two. She'd also be interested in a crossover with Supergirl or any of the other Arrowverse shows, if it makes sense but not until season three or four.
If you're a fan of the show, you should definitely take the time to watch Williams' panel. If you haven't seen the show, you should catch up, then watch the panel, you won't be sorry.

A happy New Year to you and with the holidays now behind us, let's do what this industry does best and that's dive right back into our work. As always in early January, we're prepped and ready to tackle another CES out in Las Vegas. Ahead of CES 2019, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on a few trends we've been following over the past year and what we hope to see out in the Nevada desert valley this year.
First up 8K.
The technology really had something of a coming out party in Berlin at IFA in September with seemingly every major display brand introducing an 8K set. That figures to carry over to CES 2019 as those same sets and more will be on the show floor and in various hotel suites. But what about the content? What can these brands tell us as far as when we'll start to see 8K content? That was one of the biggest question marks we had on our way back from IFA, and not much has been said around 8K content since.
Listen, we're still struggling to find viable original content options in 4K in these early stages of 2019. So what's the pitch the consumer that they should ditch their current 4K ready TV for the next-gen display tech when the content has yet to catch up?
Next up… VR.
It's no joke that in each of the last three CES's we've gone out to, we've asked this category to prove something to us. And each year we leave feeling somewhat let down. However, 2018 ended up being a pretty crucial year for the technology with the launch of higher-powered yet lower-priced options like Oculus Go and Lenovo's Mirage Solo. But again, this comes down to a content play and finding the pitch to get consumers hooked. NextVR has a cool thing going with their streaming of NBA games, which feels like the future of VR content, but what other options are out there? Frankly, there's not much. We're still waiting on that "killer app" for the consumer. VR has awesome benefits on the commercial/professional side of the spectrum, but it needs to win with consumers too. So, how does the space plan to do just that?
Lastly, let's hit on the holy trinity of IoT—5G, artificial intelligence, and the connected home.
Those three segments have been quickly converging over the past year or so as the next-gen networking tech gets ready for its big debut, and as AI gets exponentially more intelligent, and as consumers really start to warm up to the connected home and smart technology. Amazon and Google have traded barbs over the past two CES's with their respective voice assistants, so what's the play this year? How much smarter will those technologies get? How will 5G impact their capabilities? And how can the industry turn those casual DIY consumers into full blown home automation prosumers?
There's always a lot to dive into at CES, but those three things stand out as some of the biggest trends we'll be following throughout the week, on the ground in Las Vegas—and in the days and weeks to follow. So stay tuned, be sure to check out all of our coverage, and hopefully we'll see you all out there.

Explanation: In the shadow of Saturn, unexpected wonders appear. The robotic Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn recently drifted in giant planet's shadow for about 12 hours and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun. Cassini saw a view unlike any other. First, the night side of Saturn is seen to be partly lit by light reflected from its own majestic ring system. Next, the rings themselves appear dark when silhouetted against Saturn, but quite bright when viewed away from Saturn and slightly scattering sunlight, in the above exaggerated color image. Saturn's rings light up so much that new rings were discovered, although they are hard to see in the above image. Visible in spectacular detail, however, is Saturn's E ring, the ring created by the newly discovered ice-fountains of the moon Enceladus, and the outermost ring visible above. Far in the distance, visible on the image left just above the bright main rings, is the almost ignorable pale blue dot of Earth.

Martian Sunset
Credit: Mars Exploration Rover Mission, Texas A&M, Cornell, JPL, NASA
Explanation: This month, the Mars Exploration Rovers are celebrating their 5th anniversary of operations on the surface of the Red Planet. The serene sunset view, part of their extensive legacy of images from the martian surface, was recorded by the Spirit rover on May 19, 2005. Colors in the image have been slightly exaggerated but would likely be apparent to a human explorer's eye. Of course, fine martian dust particles suspended in the thin atmosphere lend the sky a reddish color, but the dust also scatters blue light in the forward direction, creating a bluish sky glow near the setting Sun. The Sun is setting behind the Gusev crater rim wall some 80 kilometers (50 miles) in the distance. Because Mars is farther away, the Sun is less bright and only about two thirds the size seen from planet Earth.

The best reads for stoners
In my time running this blog, I find it quite a surprise that i haven't written a post like this at all, perhaps up until recently I had misconceptions about the amount of people who still read books or perhaps I couldn't really picture a list that I would call definitive and perhaps I still can't and perhaps I never will. Anyway, like many art forms, the art of writing and the subsequent reading goes hand in hand with marijuana. The Counterculture movement's anti-war sentiment helped give birth to the hippie subculture which is long associated with marijuana amongst other drugs. Pioneers of counterculture were mainly writers in some form, from Ken Kesey to The Beats: Ginsberg and Kerouac who helped shape a generation in a haze of marijuana haze. However In this list I am going to try and avoid, where possible, listing the stereotypical and predictable works so as to distinguish this list from others and to open your mind to further reading (hopefully). For example one list I looked at along a similar vein stated that no list of this sort was complete without at least one William Burroughs novel, however because thus far I've not really found anything from Burroughs which I would put in my 'top' list, although some of his books are out of print and therefore very expensive which means this list may have to be fixed at some point. So without further ado…
R A Lafferty Fourth Mansions
Now Christian Sci-fi writers are a pretty rare thing, however upon reading Lafferty's Fourth Mansions you will certainly wish they weren't as rare. Lafferty presents a bizarre world run secretly by multiple secret societies all with different end games and views of how the world should be. The book shows Mexican revolutionaries and resourceful tramps as also being great powers in the world. All this is focalised though Freddy Foley, a journalist, whose bizarre yet witty prose has him referred to as stupid by many of the novel's characters however it serves to dazzle and engross the reader.
Salvador Plascencia The People of Paper
Barely a decade old, this novel is a relative newbie on this list, however the sheer ingenuity of the innovative way the story is told should guarantee it's place on any list. The plot details a group of Mexican emigrants attempting to cross the border, while simultaneously fighting a war against 'Saturn' who turns out to be a pseudonym for the author. A small synopsis cannot really do this book justice, as the way it is presented and set out helps to mirror the content and possibly surpass it in terms of its bizarreness.
Brendan Mccarthy & Peter Milligan Rogan Gosh
This is the first of two comic books I will include on this list. I find most 'best reads' lists to be pretentious due to them generally dismissing comic books or graphic novels. But there's no way I couldn't include this. A strange tale featuring a British yob and an Indian waiter going on an adventure, Rudyard Kipling in an opium den and the aforementioned characters ending up in the bizarre realm where the titular character lives. If this does tickle your fancy I'd recommend Mirkin the Mystic also by the same team. All this plus a ton of brightly-coloured painted pages of Brendan Mccarthy artwork to stare at when you're stoned.
Grant Morrison Doom Patrol
A trippy and surrealist take on DC comics most bizarre characters, essentially a group of superheroes whose powers seem more like disabilities than gifts. This series is jam-packed with ideas splattered across a page in seemingly random fashion, however it made for one of the best reads I've ever had. From sentient transvestite streets to a disembodied brain announcing his love to his intelligent gorilla henchman, this run holds nothing back in terms of the strange.

"The encounter with Christ in the Eucharist calls forth a commitment to evangelization and an impulse towards solidarity; it awakens in the Christian a strong desire to proclaim the Gospel and to bear witness to it in the world so as to build a more just and humane society. From the Eucharist, in the course of the centuries, an immense wealth of charity has sprung forth, of sharing in the difficulties of others, of love and of justice. Only from the Eucharist will the civilization of love spring forth which will transform Latin America and the Caribbean, making them not only the Continent of Hope, but also the Continent of Love!"INAUGURAL SESSION OF THE FIFTH GENERAL CONFERENCE

Juniper Networks Can Deliver More UpsideJNPR) has done impressively on the stock market in 2015 as its share has appreciated over 25%. This is despite the fact that Juniper's financial performance last quarter wasn't great on a year-over-year basis, though the company did deliver impressive growth on a sequential basis. However, investors seem to be recognizing the fact that Juniper is fast improving its bottom line performance.
Bottom line growth is strong
For instance, last quarter, Juniper's non-GAAP net income was $208.8 million, or $0.53 per share, up 33% year-over-year and 66% sequentially.
In the second quarter of 2015, Juniper bought back $600 million of common shares outstanding and thus successfully executing on its commitment to buyback a net of $1.0 billion of shares from January till June 2015. In addition, the Board of Directors at Juniper has endorsed an additional $500 million share buyback authorization. Hence, Juniper currently has a net of about $675 million of share repurchase authorization still outstanding.
Looking ahead, this growth is expected to continue since the company is aggressively investing in product development.
Product development will lead to further growth
Juniper recently launched Juniper Networks Unite, which is an innovative reference architecture that combines newest networking innovations with simple and secured network infrastructure solutions needed to upgrade and transform branch networks to advanced cloud-enabled service platforms.
The secure, automated and simplified architecture as provided by Juniper Networks Unite to develop and control the cloud-enabled enterprise is further enhanced by several other innovative introductions such as, Junos Fusion Enterprise, improvements to Junos Space Network Director coupled with enhancements to the Juniper Networks EX9200 range of programmable Ethernet switches.
The uniquely developed technologically-advanced networking solutions of Juniper are estimated drive significant customer traction particularly from the enterprise customers and thus enhance the company's financial position.
In addition, Juniper has a dispersion score of 3.0 which is comparable to the S&P 500 median score of 1.0 and the stock is estimated to have over 20 percent of upside potential primarily driven by the fact that stocks with robust fundamentals are believed to benefit from impressive economic growth that is believed to persist over the next several quarters.
Design wins
British Airways lately selected Juniper Networks to help develop IP/MPLS key backbone and Data Center Fabric to run several of its applications including, baggage tracking, check-in and ticketing.
Juniper has declared a key collaboration with Aerohive Networks® to offer easy, secure cloud-driven wired and wireless solutions to distributed enterprises that include K-12 education, retail and key local and state government customers.
Several key enterprise customers have chosen Juniper to jointly develop and deploy their innovative technology solutions, driving significant top line growth for Juniper and thus benefiting the key stakeholders.
Hence, Juniper Networks is making impressive progress on a number of fronts, which will allow the company to deliver more upside in the long run. This is why I think it will be prudent to remain invested in the stock for long-term gains.

We're not big into hardware rumours accompanied by blurry photos here, but we will make an exception to bring you news that Amazon appears to be readying a new version of the Kindle e-book reader.
In spite of repeated denials that Kindle 2 will arrive any time soon, Amazon appears to have created a successor to the wireless e-book. Either that or we're really looking at an old pre-Kindle 1 prototype.
New keyboard
Either way, the mystery device looks very similar to the existing model with a few minor tweaks. The keyboard has been redesigned and some of the other buttons moved around, presumably to avoid accidental presses.
The screen and case look familiar, although the edges of the unit are now rounded instead of angular. In place of the scroll wheel on the current Kindle, the 'new' version has a mini joystick, and the device now charges via USB, not through an AC adapter.
Lastly, the SD card has gone for some reason, which leads us back to our original thought – is this really a new Kindle or just a dusty old pre-production dummy?
