Roses of Glory by Mary Pershall
massmarket paperback, 366 pages
Berkley, 1987
Synopsis from Cover:
Roanna Royson
The beautiful tavern wench from the lusty London docks whom fortune made a lady.... She was as bold and rebellious as the wild mane of hair that tumbled around her shoulders -until one man's savage passions possessed her.
Giles fitz William
The bastard son of one of England's noblest families, the stableboy who became a knight...he longed for the fiery tempered Roanna, had always wanted her, would never stop wanting her...
Destined for Danger, Desire, and Triumph
While all of England writhed in the flames of rebellion, they loved and fought with a passion that could never be conquered. Surrounded by treachery, accused of treason, forced into captivity, neither would surrender... until a final ravishing climax brought the lady and the knight together on the peaks of burning love...
How perfectly clever and diabolical was my daughter, Just Me, in her selection for this month's Critical Monkey and Don't be A-Hatin' Amendment book. She chose not just a romance with a hot couple on the cover, but a historical romance - a medieval historical romance set in 1259. The combination, for me, was excruciatingly painful. It's almost more than a person should have to bare, but I'm going to try to embrace it for what it was: a mess.
Pershall wanted Roses of Glory to be compared to The Taming of the Shrew. No, really, she did. The book is divided into four parts and an epilogue. Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew is quoted at the beginning of each section. I think this is supposed to make you feel more virtuous and educated while reading Roses of Glory. The plot, well, what there was of a plot, was uneven and jumped around. I don't even know where to begin discussing it other than to note that it appeared Pershall was trying to fit the romance into some sort of historical context, and she did have her characters run around a great deal in order to give the impression of great action.
Obviously, I shouldn't have to point out that there are historical inaccuracies in Roses of Glory. I don't think the target audience (which clearly does not include me) is looking for completely accurate historical details. I think just the hint that it's vaguely historical is enough. The family trees for the Marshals and Plantagenets at the beginning is probably enough. Nor are they likely looking for finely crafted dialogue. The dialogue almost had me throwing Roses of Glory across the room. "Lud" must have been some character I didn't know about for the number of times Roanna and everyone else said it. (I know... it's probably meant to be a bastardized "Lord" or, although this is not likely, it could be an oath in reference to Lud son of Heli, the founder of London, but come on... that would be too much historical trivia.)
For those of you who enjoy romance novels, please know I understand, I really do, reading books that are not exactly fine literature for escapism and sheer enjoyment. I get it. However, I know that when I read for sheer escapism I'm much more likely to be looking for an action adventure kind of novel. If there's someone struggling up the face of a mountain in the moonlight with a gun in his hand and a knife between his teeth, the book might be closer to my preferences. On a positive note after reading Roses of Glory, Pride and Prejudice, in comparison, is the best romance novel ever written. At least the writing is excellent, there is a plot, and the dialogue is clever.
Roanna spooned the hot stew into her mouth, thinking that she had never tasted anything so good in her life. opening
Then he came into her life. It was the beginning of the end. If she had even suspected, in those moments when she was wrestling with the goat, what was to come, she would have fled Durham House then and there. But, nay, she had remained, day after day, until she had made a complete and total fool of herself. pg. 6
She raised her head to find his face inches from her own. Transfixed, she stared into deep blue eyes, crinkled at the corners with tiny laugh lines. Soft, wet, chestnut curls hung over a tanned forehead and a handsome face that left her breathless. His body was lean and hard beneath hers, his teeth white and healthy as he grinned at her. Lud, she thought, he's bloody gorgeous. pg. 10
Young women, scantily clad, were dancing about the long table. They were dark-skinned with long black hair, wearing brief cloths about their breasts and hips, their legs covered only by thin veils of sarcenet.
"They're Saracen women!" Maud hissed, coming up behind her. "I 'eard a squire say that Lord Edward brought 'em 'ere just for this. They be captives, 'eld by some blighter earl in Normandy. Lud, Roanna," she said, giggling, "ain't it exciting?" pg. 14
Lud, had she imagined it? Oh, the reaction of others confirmed that it had happened, but it did not seem real.... She regretted that she had been so rude, but lud, what did he expect?.... He had saved her, though hardly from a fate worse than death - lud, only a man would say that - but certainly from a bloody 'orrible experience. pg. 19
"Pah, not so," Dorine interrupted and sighed heavily with dramatic emphasis. "A waste, t' be sure, fer one so 'andsome - but alas, our 'andsome knight was born on the wrong side of the sheets. "is mother be a mystery, one the family keeps guarded. Makes 'im all the more excitin', eh?" pg. 21
"Because, my love, long ago I capitulated and resigned myself to being the willing slave to your superior designs. Lead me, Eleanor, I surrender." pg. 39
"You know, it amazes me that one who was raised as you were should be such a spoiled brat. Do not say a word!" he warned at the sound of her gasp. pg. 107
("Brat" would not have been used as such at this time.)
"Go bleedin' rot!" she cried, backing farther away until she came up against a table. "I won't go! Tell friggin' Edward he can bloody - " pg. 317
(So, now we know, "friggin' " was in common usage in the 1200's.)

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- Officials have approved the reopening of three rides similar to one that malfunctioned in Ohio, killing an 18-year-old and injuring seven others.
The Fire Ball broke apart mid-air at the Ohio State Fair, throwing riders from their seats. The fatal incident prompted the closure of several California rides, and others across the country as a safety precaution.
Cal/OSHA has approved the reopening of three rides with a similar premise to the Fire Ball.
The decision came after ride owners successfully completed testing and inspections.

OPM Breach Preventable with Security Analytics
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released an investigative report in September that reviewed the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data breaches – breaches that resulted in over 21 million stolen records. The report stated, "Despite this high value information maintained by OPM, the agency failed to prioritize cybersecurity and adequately secure high […]
Moving Time – Federal Data Center Optimization Takes Center Stage
It's time for Feds to pack their data center bags and start moving to cloud. Yet enterprises are not as secure in their decision to move to cloud. The Blue Coat Elastic 2016 Shadow Data Threat Report showed nearly 100 percent of apps analyzed do not provide sufficient security and compliance controls to effectively protect […]
Reporting to You Live – Real-time Updates for Agencies
This just in, a threat has surfaced on an agency network. Can it be stopped in time? Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) combined with Symantec + Blue Coat's security platform enables real-time threat detection, allowing agencies to mitigate and address any risks.
Agencies need visibility into their networks, control over user access, and protection of their boundaries as part of CDM.
Securing Federal Networks in a Post-OPM Breach World
After the OPM breach in 2015, what has the government learned? What would be done differently with today's technology?
During a Federal News Radio interview, Aubrey Merchant-Dest, Federal CTO, Blue Coat, pointed to guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as ways for agencies to prevent another breach
CASB: The Federal Cloud Go-Between
Agencies continue to migrate to the cloud, but require a strong security service to protect their systems. A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) addresses security concerns and provides a go-between for end users and applications
Shadow IT Means Dark Clouds – How Do You Protect Your Agency?
FITARA aims to empower CIOs by granting them authority over IT investments. But, shadow IT weakens FITARA efforts, leaving CIOs in the dark. What can agencies do to control shadow IT in order to protect data, but enable innovation?
How FITARA Supports Cybersecurity Efforts
FITARA addresses the following four areas: Incremental development, risk assessment transparency, IT portfolio review savings, and data center consolidation. How do these areas support cybersecurity actions?
Cloud Control: How Can CIOs Stay in the Driver's Seat?
Agencies are moving users to the cloud, but how can they streamline the process? How can it be simplified to create an enhanced user experience?
"What activities, what data, and what threat are they bringing into the cloud?" These three questions are identified as primary concepts agencies should use to assess and prevent cloud application use as necessary, then implement policies based on the answers.
Four Key Elements for Encrypted Traffic Management
Use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption is estimated at 15-25 percent of all network traffic, and growing at 20 percent annually. But by 2017, Gartner predicts "more than 50 percent of network attacks will use SSL/TLS."
Agencies need to inspect encrypted traffic to ensure hackers are not hiding in SSL traffic.
Address the Unknown with Threat Intelligence
Initially, threat classification focused only on malware or botnets – leaving the majority of web traffic unrated, and agencies exposed to vulnerabilities. The unrated information quickly became a problem as the threat landscape continued to change – new threats emerged, more data collected, complex technologies introduced. "The damage factor can be much higher than before," warned Chris Larsen, architect on the WebPulse Threat Research Team, Blue Coat.
Are You Protecting Your Cybersecurity Investments?
Is your agency throwing money down the drain? Without a comprehensive SSL encryption solution, you could be wasting money and not even know it.
Malware, hidden threats, and additional attacks are constantly trying to break into networks. SSL/TLS encryption delivers the defense agencies need to protect their cybersecurity investments.
Taking Action Against Threat Actors: Good Things Come in Three's
Reports say 100,000 new malware samples are discovered every day. And, according to a recent survey, 62 percent of DoD IT pros identified foreign governments as one of the greatest source of IT threats. Bloomberg reports the U.S. military, "is seeking $34.7 billion through 2021 to boost cybersecurity capabilities."
How can agencies identify – and mitigate – threat actors, whether they come from nation states or within the U.S.?
What Agencies Need for a Secure Cloud Transition
IT is evolving and agency security needs are changing with it.
There needs to be a "fundamentally different way that we secure [IT] services," said Rob Palmer, deputy chief technology officer, DHS, during a recent webcast.
"It took us a decade or more to get a good support model in place for what we are now considering legacy IT," Palmer continued. Now agencies are hoping to transition from legacy IT to the cloud.
Are Candidates Concerned About Cyber?
As the 2016 election grows closer, IT pros are wondering when the Presidential candidates will tackle ongoing cyber security concerns and questions. CBS News reports, "Fifty-five percent of information security professionals believe cyber security should be a key issue in the 2016 election." But is it?
Blue Coat's Chief Operating Officer, Michael Fey, prompts five cyber questions each candidate should consider.
Cloud Security – Silver Lining for Feds
FedRAMP is not accelerating the path to the cloud for Federal agencies as quickly as anticipated. But, recognizing potential saving opportunities and significant operational and efficiency benefits, Feds are ready to move. A research analyst at Deltek stated, "Fiscal 2016 will be a year when cloud spending picks up greater speed…"
It's time to clear the most significant barrier to cloud adoption – security concerns.
Endpoint Enemies Beware – Ensuring Endpoint Security
The volume and variety of endpoints is growing, as more and more devices connect to Federal networks. Feds are worried security can't keep up.
A recent MeriTalk report estimates 44% of endpoints that access Federal agency networks are at risk. And nearly one-third have experienced breaches via endpoints.
CISOs Strike Back – Advanced Threat Protection
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) community has good reason to stay awake at night. Recently, hackers breached the Department of Justice (DoJ), released over 9,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees information, and claimed they will leak data for 20,000 FBI employees, according to Computerworld.

Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness by Reinhard Kleist
Michel Faber asks if a graphic biography of Johnny Cash has a responsibility to the facts
Michel Faber
Fri 23 Oct 2009 19.15 EDT First published on Fri 23 Oct 2009 19.15 EDT
Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness
by Reinhard Kleist 223pp, Self Made Hero, £14.99
Pop culture turns history into legend with audacious speed, and sometimes the chroniclers are too young to be aware of previous attempts to turn their heroes into myths. Reinhard Kleist's Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness is vaunted as "the first and only graphic biography of one of the most famous musicians of all time". In the late 1970s, no dime store or book exchange was complete without a copy of Hello, I'm Johnny Cash, a ¢39 comic co-produced by Cash and Archie artist Al Hartley, published by Spire Christian Comics. Its spin was evangelical but its narrative highlights were the same as those in I See a Darkness – Cash's impoverished childhood in the cottonfields; his early loss of his devout older brother; his rise to fame despite numerous booze- and amphetamine-fuelled misadventures; his religious epiphany inside a cave where he'd crawled to die; his tortured detox from addiction, aided by his devoted second wife, June Carter; and his most celebrated concert, in front of the rowdy inmates and itchy guards, at Folsom prison.
The only milestone Kleist omits is Cash's cherished movie project The Gospel Road. No wonder: his imagination is fired by darkness. A Folsom inmate serves as the book's narrator, and several of Cash's grimmer lyrics ("I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die", and so on) are enacted in fantasy interludes. Even the comedy ditty "A Boy Named Sue" is given several pages of Scorsese-style mayhem. Once Cash hits the road, it's one long streak of drug abuse, delinquency and crashed Cadillacs. Kleist's drawing style is restlessly kinetic and this, along with his decision to steer clear of the calmer phases of Cash's life, makes the book an enjoyable if sometimes bewildering ride.
For much of his career, Cash was a woolly-maned, burly trouper who bestrode the popular stage dressed in frock coat and bow tie. Kleist keeps him lean and wiry throughout, a fusion of Mark E Smith and James Dean in a uniform of open-necked white shirt and rumpled 50s suit. This surly punk, perpetually making trouble and refusing to play by the rules of the entertainment biz, could never have racked up the 90m record sales and middle-of-the-road ubiquity that the real Cash achieved, but if you can accept the parts of Kleist's outlaw-worshipping spin that don't compute, there's plenty of fun to be had.
Were this book a print biography, an earnest stab at a definitive life, I would have dutifully read Cash's own autobiographies (he wrote two) and at least one more tome as research for this review. I've made no such efforts, settling for my memories of ancient TV footage, Wikipedia, and Googled excerpts from Stephen Miller's Johnny Cash: The Life of an American Icon. Moreover, I dislike country music and have heard only a fraction of Cash's vast output, and Kleist's book won't change that. So, why am I writing about I See a Darkness? Because I like the way Kleist handles a brush. Because I like how he draws raindrops impacting like bullets on flooded farmland. Because he does a great job of the bit where Cash, spooked by a Benzedrine hallucination of insects crawling on his hands, attacks the footlights at the Grand Ole Opry (never mind that alternative accounts of this incident allege it was a mishap caused by a faulty microphone stand).
This is where a biography in graphic form is a special case. It's a work of visual art and, as such, arguably has no obligation to be true or comprehensive or fair or any of the other things that we might demand of a biography. Just as we can admire Goya's Disasters of War or a Jan van Eyck portrait without any intention of researching the Napoleonic campaigns in the Iberian peninsula or of establishing who this Giovanni Arnolfini geezer actually was, so we can thrill to Kleist's version of the Man in Black as a dynamic pattern of black lines, a 220-page portfolio of inky expressionism.
Or can we? Real life can create characters more compelling than those invented by art, and even if we approach I See a Darkness as a myth of sorts, Kleist's talents sometimes fall short of the power of documentary truth. His strangely pallid June Carter lacks the sunny vivacity and earth-mother sex appeal that made her such an effective dispeller of Johnny's darkness. Kleist's Bob Dylan, in a feeble episode, looks disconcertingly like Dustin Hoffman. At its best, though, the book moves away from the biographical and generates the sort of nightmare imagery that Kleist has explored in previous works (not available in English) such as Lovecraft, Amerika and the Berlinoir vampire trilogy. There's a frighteningly good sequence where amphetamine withdrawal causes the spidery network of Cash's nervous system to hover free of his feverish body. In the finale, Kleist pulls off an exhilarating segue from the concrete walls of Folsom to the log cabin where Cash made his valedictory recordings. Taking a breather in the forest, our dying hero sees an apocalyptic vision of "Ghost Riders in the Sky". It's this artistic chutzpah, rather than any educative value, that makes I See a Darkness a tour de force.
Michel Faber's The Fire Gospel is published by Canongate.


Celebrate the end of the world with this exhilarating, wholly original dance and music experience.
On the edge of oblivion, a company of incredible dancers hurl themselves into a spectacular freefall.
This is revolutionary choreographer Hofesh Shechter's vision of a society on the brink of collapse: a bizarre, beautiful abyss bristling with anarchic energy and violent comedy.
Part dance, part theatre, part intoxicating gig, Grand Finale brilliantly captures the precariousness of 21st-century living through rapturous live music (composed by Shechter, performed live by an on-stage band) and furiously choreographed movement – a pulsating combination that will leave you breathless.
Performed on a cinematic set designed around transforming monoliths and intense claustrophobic spaces, and brimming with Shechter's emotionally electrifying style, this fierce new work is the dance ensemble's boldest creation yet. Join their apocalyptic revelry in the dance event to end all events.
Performance contains smoke effects, very loud music and flashing lights.
Produced by: Hofesh Shechter Company and commissioned by Georgia Rosengarten.

Today, Asia is the largest and most populous continent, taking up about 30% of the world's land area and containing 60% of the world's population (and two of the world's largest economies). But this is not Asia's first time on the world stage; indeed, the continent has been flourishing for thousands of years. Not only was Asia home to many of the world's first civilizations, but it was also the site of some of the most spectacular empires of the ancient world.
As such, Asia has dozens of remarkable ruins. From the iconic temples of Angkor, Cambodia to magnificent Borobudur in Indonesia, there is no shortage of crumbling beauty in Asia. Here are seven of the best ancient ruins in Asia.
The iconic Borobudur in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia is surely one of the best ancient ruins in Asia, if not the world as a whole. This 8th-century (yes, 8th!) Mahayana Buddhist temple complex is the single largest Buddhist structure in the world. Borobudur was built with over two million stones, and it contains more than 500 Buddha statues and almost 3,000 bas-relief sculptures depicting the life and teachings of Buddha. The scale and attention to detail are truly awe-inspiring and helped earn it a designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and keep it atop the list of most popular tourist attractions in Indonesia.
Borobudur is known for its beautiful bell-shaped spires, symbolic design, and its stunning surroundings, which include vibrant green jungle and rice fields, traditional villages, and volcanoes off in the distance—one of which is active.
You've probably seen the photos: a vast, magical landscape bathed in early morning or late afternoon light, hundreds of temples dotting the land, several hot air balloons floating above them.
This is Bagan, home to the largest and densest collection of Buddhist temples, pagodas, stupas, and ruins in the world. Many were built as far back as the 11th and 12th centuries, and the design and construction of each is highly significant in Buddhism. It's estimated that there were once as many as 13,000 temples on this plain; today, there are about 2,200. Some are still in good shape, such as the stunning, golden Ananda Pahto, while some are quite deteriorated.
All temples, pagodas, and stupas in Bagan are highly sacred, so remember to cover your shoulders and knees and remove your shoes (and socks) before stepping on or entering them.
Once the capital of the Vijayanagar Empire, which ruled the Deccan Plateau region of Southern India from 1336 to 1646, Hampi is now a collection of beautiful ruins. What makes the UNESCO World Heritage Site so special is the surrounding landscape. The ruins are encircled by giant boulders—some standing alone, some in giant mounds, and others perched precariously on top of other boulders. In fact, Hampi is a popular rock climbing site.
Some of the best temples of Hampi include Virupaksha Temple, Hampi Bazaar, Monolith Bull, and Vithala Temple, where the famous Stone Chariot is located. Be sure to check out Matanga Hill, as well, which offers fantastic sunset views.
The Longmen Grottoes, also known as the Longmen Caves, are one of the best examples of Chinese Buddhist art. The UNESCO World Heritage Site has over 2,300 caves which contain over 100,000 statues of Buddha and his disciples; these statues range from just 25 millimeters to over 17 meters in height. There are also 2,800 inscriptions carved on steles and over 60 stupas. The carvings were made between the end of the 5th century and the mid-8th century.
The Longmen National Park are located near Luoyang, which is one of the oldest imperial capital cities of China. Luoyang is about 1 ½ to two hours by high-speed train from Xi'an, home of the Terracotta Army, and about four hours by high-speed train from Beijing.
From 1350 to 1767, Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam, which at one time ruled an area as big as France and England combined. Towards the end of the empire, Ayutthaya's population was a staggering one million people, making it the largest city in the world at the time. The only buildings that remain from this once impressive city are a few dozen stone temples and palaces.
Many of the sites have been partially restored, allowing visitors to get a glimpse of how they might have looked hundreds of years ago. The largest of Ayutthaya's temples is Wat Phra Si Sanphet, known for its row of three chedis, or Thai-style stupas. Another popular temple is Wat Ratchaburana, known for its beautiful prang, or spire, that was recently restored to its original condition.
Ayutthaya is a popular and easy day trip from Bangkok; however, consider making it a two-day trip. This enables you to spend more time at the ruins and see them lit up at night, as well.
No article on ancient ruins in Asia is complete without this one. The temples of Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia are simply some of the most beautiful and extraordinary ruins in the world.
The crown jewel of the Angkor temples is Angkor Wat. Built in the 12th century, this monument was designed to be the earthly representation of Mt. Meru, the most important mountain of the ancient Hindu faith. Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world, and both the scale of the temple and the details are awe-inspiring. An incredibly intricate 800-meter-long bas relief—the longest in the world—adorns the outer wall. There are also over 3,000 apsaras, or divine nymphs, carved into the temple's walls, and each apsara is unique.
While Angkor is the grandest and the best-known of the Angkor temples, you certainly shouldn't miss the others, especially Bayon, Preah Khan, Banteay Srei, and Ta Prohm.
Yogyakarta, Indonesia is lucky to be home to two of the most impressive ancient ruins in Asia. Prambanan is a massive and spectacular complex of Hindu temples located in Central Java, Indonesia, not far from Yogyakarta and the Borobudur temple. Built between the 8th and 10th centuries, Prambanan is the best surviving example of Hindu cultural period in Java. In 1991, Prambanan was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There were originally 240 temples but many have deteriorated; the main attractions now are the six temples of the central court. All six are covered in intricate carved reliefs.

Are You Communicating with the Thumb Generation ?
The first thing my parents did when I was born; they posted my pictures on the social media. All of a sudden I was a star on Orkut, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram. The name of their family groups and friend groups changed to " New-Baby Born", " Congratulations Eric", on Hike, Whats App and We chat. Inside my cradle, I was under a holy shock; What the heck this thumb-ups sign means? Now when I am old to this so dynamic, digitally sound human society, I have realized that I was a child born to the Thumb generation parents!
Probably this could be the way, how our children will introduce their novels. Welcome to the world of mobile-first generation. In 2017, it is merely impossible to imagine life without smartphones, gadgets and a virtual identity. On an average people have 20 mobile apps installed on their phones. 96% of smartphone owners use their devices to get things done. 70 % of these population who bought something in a store first turned to their smart devices for information related to their purchase. As a marketer, if I am still not on mobile. Man! I am making a huge mistake.
It is easy to access customers at anytime, anywhere at any moment but here lies a massive opportunity to impress them and make money or to create a poor image by poor advertising. The question is what attracts this thumb generation audience? How to grab their attention? What drives sales on mobile?
To answer all such questions, here are some key points to be kept in mind before advertising to this like-follow-chat generation of the mobile-savvy world.
Innovation is not only driving money, it is driving brand image, fame and loyalty. People are attracted to new ideas, new products, new methods of advertising. Native ads, Video ads ruled the market for long and are still having a huge market but advertising is totally redefined by vlogging, influence marketing and other new concepts such as virtual reality and near-field communication. Innovation attracts the audience and hence money.
It is also about the way information is communicated. Almost all the smart marketers of the millennium are aware of the holistic view of a customer journey. They put their customer first. Understanding the intent and immediacy need of your audience and catering it in the right context results in better ROI from the digital marketing efforts. The thumb generation is curious and smart enough to do a lot of research before making purchase decisions. Thus focusing on their needs is still a key to good advertising.
According to psychology today, 56 % of Americans who own a smartphone are having some form of mobile addiction. Data collected by a screen lock app say the average person unlocks his or her phone to check it 110 times a day. Some check it up to 900 times.
It sounds strange but it is even stranger if one fails to use this moment of opportunity to make an impact on the audience mind, a very powerful medium having a great potential to drive sales is left underutilized.
It's the age of " Intellectual Advertising." One needs to understand that at the end, effective marketing communication is all about connecting with people and influencing their behavior. Technology is an aid helping to accomplish this goal of making an impact on the human mind at the right moment of time.
Explore the power of refined mobile advertising with MobiVisits.


CHELMSFORD, Mass. – April 25, 2012 – Axis Communications, the world leader in network video, announces its first additions to the affordable AXIS M10 Network Camera Series with support for edge storage and AXIS Camera Companion: AXIS M1013 and AXIS M1014 Network Cameras. The SVGA and HDTV 720p models with discreet design and built-in slot for MicroSDHC card storage are perfect for securing small businesses, restaurants, hotels and convenience stores.
"The new IP cameras in the AXIS M10 Series with MicroSDHC card and NAS support offer the perfect complement to the easy-to-install and intuitive AXIS Camera Companion solution we launched last month for 1-16 camera systems," said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications, Inc. "Innovations in IP video surveillance continue to make the technology more and more affordable for small camera count installations. With these new network cameras with edge storage, we can offer a standalone four-camera IP surveillance solution for less than $1,000."
At full frame rate AXIS M1014 offers HDTV 720p / 1 megapixel resolution, while AXIS M1013 offers SVGA resolution. These indoor-only AXIS M10 Series models feature additional IP benefits including motion detection, tampering alarms and advanced H.264 compression to reduce storage costs and bandwidth. The fixed network cameras also have edge storage support for both in-camera MicroSDHC cards and complementary network shares such as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. This allows users to build cost-efficient and reliable edge recording solutions, or take advantage of additional storage redundancy.
AXIS M1013 and AXIS M1014 Network Cameras also feature support for AXIS Video Hosting System with one-click camera connection, making the cameras ideal for a hosted video solution.
"Small system surveillance users who were typically relegated to using outdated analog systems because of cost and perceived complexity can now enjoy the resolution, full frame rate and color fidelity of HDTV-quality IP surveillance – all without compromising the budget," said Nilsson.
While AXIS M1013 and AXIS M1014 Network Cameras will work with any IP-based video surveillance system, the compatibility with AXIS Camera Companion makes this product release especially compelling. AXIS Camera Companion is an all-in-one, easy-to-use IP-based surveillance solution consisting of Axis cameras and/or encoders, SD cards, a switch or router and free recording software. Each camera serves as an independent surveillance device, recording video to its own internal SD memory card – this means that there is no single point of failure for the system and no additional onsite recording hardware or computer is needed for operation.
Click to see AXIS Camera Companion videos on installation, ease-of-use and customer testimonials.
AXIS M1013 and AXIS M1014 models are supported by AXIS Camera Station and the industry's largest base of video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner Program. The cameras also include support for hosted video and ONVIF compatibility for easy camera system integration.
AXIS M1013 and AXIS M1014 Network Cameras are expected to be available in Q2 2012 at the suggested retail prices of $179 for AXIS M1013 and $229 for AXIS M1014.

Life and families and babies are all joyous gifts. But if we do not begin to truly account for our numbers, we will surely create an ecological crisis that will only lead to anguish and despair. -- Jason Alexander
There is a lot of healing going on. Really! More people are vegetarians, more are in the green movement, more of us are tearing down the old paradigms and embracing same-sex marriage, single motherhood, men raising babies. -- Iyanla Vanzant
A miracle is really the only way to describe motherhood and giving birth. It's unbelievable how God has made us women and babies to endure and be able to do so much. A miracle, indeed. Such an incredible blessing. -- Jennie Finch
Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!' -- Steven Wright
I think about my dwindling anonymity, and that's really scary because a very large part of me would be perfectly happy living on a ranch in Colorado and having babies and chickens and horses - which I will do anyway. -- Dakota Johnson
Licences to have babies incidentally is something that I got in trouble for some years ago for suggesting even in Canada that this might be necessary at some point, at least some restriction on the right to have a child. -- Maurice Strong
I was born on January 8, 1942, exactly three hundred years after the death of Galileo. I estimate, however, that about two hundred thousand other babies were also born that day. I don't know whether any of them was later interested in astronomy. -- Stephen Hawking
When I last looked, there weren't queues of eager guys under 40 hanging outside single ladies' doors begging them to give up work and have their babies. It takes two to tango and the same number, without medical help, to make a child. -- Mariella Frostrup
When you grow up your mother says, Wear rubbers or you'll catch cold. When you become an adult you discover that you have the right not to wear rubbers and to see if you catch cold or not. It's something like that -- Matt Groening
I love babies, and I have my nephews that I love. I have a great mom and she has raised three kids, so if I take lessons from her, I think I'll be great. All my friends have little brothers or sisters. -- Jamie Lynn Spears
There are young people having babies every day that cannot possibly take care of them, and, as people who believe that every life is beautiful, we need to make them aware of another choice - to give that beautiful life up for adoption. -- John Schneider
I don't know how doctors pick one specialty over another. Some you can understand. Pediatricians. Or gynecologists delivering babies, bringing a new life into the world, but how does someone want to be a proctologist? How can you fall in love with proctology? -- Bob Newhart
The current practice of extending U.S. citizenship to hundreds of thousands of 'anchor babies' must end because it creates a magnet for illegal immigration into our country. Now is the time to ensure that the laws in this country do not encourage law-breaking. -- Steve King
All I say about severely disabled babies is that when a life is so miserable it is not worth living, then it is permissible to give it a lethal injection. These are decisions that should be taken by parents - never the state - in consultation with their doctors. -- Peter Singer
The leading cause of death for girls 15 to 19 worldwide is not accident or violence or disease; it is complications from pregnancy. Girls under 15 are up to five times as likely to die while having children than are women in their 20s, and their babies are more likely to die as well. -- Nancy Gibbs

N.S. family fighting to get potentially life-saving drug for daughter with cystic fibrosis
Heidi Petracek CTV News Atlantic Reporter
@HeidiPCTV Contact
Published Thursday, January 30, 2020 10:18PM AST Last Updated Thursday, January 30, 2020 10:30PM AST
HALIFAX -- A Nova Scotia family blames unnecessary bureaucracy for keeping them from accessing a potentially life-saving drug for their daughter.
Chantelle Lindsay has cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that destroys the lungs and is eventually fatal, and her family says she can't afford to wait for the drug much longer.
Chantelle's father, Mark Lindsay, has been spending a lot of time at the hospital after his 23-year-old daughter was admitted five weeks ago.
After being diagnosed at three months old, she has managed her symptoms all her life while staying active -- until last October, when her lung function started rapidly decreasing.
"She's in the QEII, on oxygen, high levels, high-flow oxygen, just waiting for this drug to come, hopefully," said Mark Lindsay. "It's been a miracle drug for the ones who have been on it."
The drug is called Trikafta and was approved for use in the United Sates late last year. It's a new drug that can treat 90 per cent of cystic fibrosis patients.
It costs $300,000 per year and, right now, it's not available to patients in Canada.
Health Canada confirms the drug's manufacturer, Vertex, has not applied for approval for use in the country yet, and it says it can't compel it to do so.
Vertex says it's "not permitted to comment on drugs that haven't received market authorization in Canada."
But, it adds that it has "concerns the new Canadian medicine pricing rules have the potential to limit access to treatments."
"People with cystic fibrosis who are on the front line are already seeing the impact," said Dr. John Wallenburg, the chief scientific officer for Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
Cystic Fibrosis Canada says what Vertex is talking about are proposed changes to how Canada regulates drug prices.
The goal is to keep prices from being "excessive," but Wallenburg says there's been a chilling side effect among pharmaceutical companies.
"The concern is that we're now going to look like a tier-two or a tier-three country, which means that the drugs will be much much later coming to Canada, if at all," Wallenburg said.
Mark Lindsay says his daughter's doctor applied to Health Canada for special access to the drug a month ago -- they know they're on a list.
"It's just crazy that we have to wait for things that are available that can be life-changing -- life-saving in a lot of cases," he said.
He has posted a letter on social media asking government to help.
Even if Trikafta is submitted for approval, Lindsay's not sure how long that would take.
"(It) could take six months, a year, two years, I don't know, but we can't really wait that long for Chantelle," he said, fighting back tears. "We've got to get it sooner."
Chantelle Lindsay had cystic fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease.
"We can't really wait that long for Chantelle," Mark Lindsay said, fighting back tears. "We've got to get it sooner."

Proteasome function is inhibited by polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-1, the SCA1 gene product
Yongjae Park, Sunghoi Hong, Sung Jo Kim, Seongman Kang
Department of Public Health Sciences
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of the polyglutamine tract in the SCA1 gene product, ataxin-1. Using d2EGFP, a short-lived enhanced green fluorescent protein, we investigated whether polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-1 affects the function of the proteasome, a cellular multicatalytic protease that degrades most misfolded proteins and regulatory proteins. In Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence experiments, d2EGFP was less degraded in HEK 293T cells transfected with ataxin-1 (82Q) than in cells transfected with lacZ or empty vector controls. To test whether the stability of the d2EGFP protein was due to aggregation of ataxin-1, we constructed a plasmid carrying ataxin-1-Right Triangle Sign 114, lacking the self-association region (SAR), and examined degradation of the d2EGFP. Both the level of ataxin-1-Right Triangle Sign 114 aggregates and the amount of d2EGFP were drastically reduced in cells containing ataxin-1-Right Triangle Sign 114. Furthermore, d2EGFP localization experiments showed that polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-1 inhibited the general function of the proteasome activity. Taken together, these results demonstrate that polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-1 decreases the activity of the proteasome, implying that a disturbance in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is directly involved in the development of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1.

    Les objets R

    November 11, 2018

Tout dans le langage R est un objet : les variables contenant des données, les fonctions, les opérateurs, même le symbole représentant le nom d'un objet est lui-même un objet. Les objets possèdent au minimum un mode et une longueur et certains peuvent être dotés d'un ou plusieurs attributs

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

            # Le mode d'un objet est obtenu avec la fonction mode :
			v <- c(1, 2, 5, 9)
			mode(v)

			#La longueur d'un objet est obtenue avec la fonction length :
			length(v)

Longeur

La longueur d'un objet est égale au nombre d'éléments qu'il contient.La longueur, au sens R du terme, d'une chaîne de caractères est toujours 1. Un objet de mode character doit contenir plusieurs chaînes de caractères pour que sa longueur soit supérieure à 1 :

> v1 <- "actuariat"
> length(v1)
[1] 1
> v2 <- c("a", "c", "t", "u", "a", "r", "i", "a", "t")
> length(v2)
[1] 9

Il faut utiliser la fonction nchar pour obtenir le nombre de caractères dans une chaîne :

> nchar(v1)
[1] 9
> nchar(v2)
[1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Un objet peut être de longueur 0 et doit alors être interprété comme un contenant qui existe, mais qui est vide :

> v <- numeric(0)
> length(v)
[1] 0

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

            v1 <- "actuariat"
			length(v1)

			v2 <- c("a", "c", "t", "u", "a", "r", "i", "a", "t")
			length(v2)

UFC 66: Liddell vs. Ortiz was a mixed martial arts (MMA) pay-per-view event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on December 30, 2006 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Background
UFC 66s main event was a championship fight with two of the UFC's biggest light heavyweight stars, Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell defending his title against former champion Tito Ortiz. This fight was first announced by Ortiz at the UFC 63 weigh-ins on September 22, 2006.

The co-main event saw Forrest Griffin take on "The Dean of Mean" Keith Jardine. The card also saw the return of former Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski and The Ultimate Fighter 3 winner Michael Bisping's first bout in the UFC since winning that season. During the event, it was made official that Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic had signed a contract with the UFC, and would make his debut with the organization at UFC 67.

The event was the UFC's first show at MGM Grand Arena since UFC 56, and was nearly sold-out, producing the highest live gate revenue in North American mixed martial arts history, extending the previous record at UFC 57 by over $2,000,000 (USD). At the time, it was estimated to be the UFC's biggest pay-per-view success with just over 1 million buys.

The disclosed fighter payroll for the event was $767,000.

Once the celebrant has agreed to conduct a marriage and the date has been fixed, the couple is asked to participate in a program of preparation to help them reach a deeper understanding of Christian marriage.
The couple is requested to meet with the celebrant as needed. The celebrant conducts the pre-nuptial investigation, obtains baptismal certificates, and fills out dispensations when the case requires. He will also instruct the couple in the Church's teachings on Marriage. Finally, the celebrant will help the couple plan their liturgical ceremony.
As marriage is a sacrament, the couple should prepare themselves by prayer and reception of the sacraments, above all, by regular participation in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. Preparation for marriage begins long before the ceremony. A couple develops attitudes towards Christian living well in advance of meeting each other. An active life of faith, hope and charity, nourished by prayer and the sacraments, is the best preparation for a lifelong Christian marriage. The couple will be unable to appreciate their own wedding ceremony, which is by nature religious, if they do not cultivate their Faith.
