The day after Teeter defended his dissertation this past June, he departed for Cambridge, Massachusetts, to begin his tenure-track position at the Harvard Divinity School as an assistant professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. During the fall term, Teeter taught The Greek Bible in History and Theology, a seminar. In the spring term, he will teach two courses: Introduction to the Pentateuch and Rewriting Scripture in Jewish Antiquity. Beyond Harvard itself, students in Teeter's classes are also drawn from the nine member institutions of the Boston Theological Institute, of which the Harvard Divinity School is a member.
In addition to his teaching duties at the Harvard Divinity School, Teeter is currently working on several projects relating to scribal hermeneutics, forms of interpretation, and models for transmission and translation of scripture in Jewish antiquity. Among these projects is a book on exegesis in the scribal transmission of biblical law in the Second Temple period, examining the degree to which early Jewish scribes deliberately altered scriptural texts for legal-exegetical purposes.

Time for a serious post: Claymore 12 – Eternal Tombstone
By Ray / June 21, 2007
All right, time to get serious. Clare is on the run, she is being chased by Ophelia, and she has to leave Lucky, or rather, the two have to go their separate ways.
In this episode, Clare, played by Kuwashima Hoko, showed some hints of emotion. Hoko-chan did particularly well near the end, when she said a grim and emotionally restrained prayer for Lucky to a certain "god of Labola." We get no references to any gods except in this episode, I wonder if in the manga there were some references?
When one's creating a world, he or she has to put down details that he or she didn't at first thought of. I personally found the prayer, which is like a reference, a little sudden. I mean, if she simply said: "God" then I can understand, because that's like a convention in almost any storytelling, save fantasy stories (Claymore is a fantasy story – I guess) but she said a certain name – god(s) of Labola. We got no references but this one. I wonder if these gods will play some role later?
Back to Clare. She is sent to Ophelia by the Organization and supposed to fight alongside her against an "Awakened," but in fact, as we'll see later, Ophelia was good enough for the job on her own. For some reason, I'm beginning to think that the Organization's keep on sending people who has the awakening experience to their deaths. That may be a good idea for the Organization because those who have completely awakened are almost indestructible and cannot be fully controlled, unless high ranking (single- digit-numbered) Claymores are sent to them. However, it's rather clear now that Clare and others (including Miriya the Mirage) who decided to get together and find out something about the Organization are being set up in a certain way. This, makes the shonen fallency more reasonable (you know, keep fighting, leveling up and all that) – after all, to survive, it seems to me that Clare will have to kill or permanently disable Ophelia, and anyone else stronger that the Organization will send after.
What the organization is trying to do seems rather simple – keeping all under control and when there are some who aren't or who can't be under control, let them get together and kill each one another. Thinking from a group point of view, I personally don't see this as a bad thing because while the aim of the organization seems to be getting rid of demons and protecting humans for a fee (although, what Teresa said before makes me wonder if the Organization created the demons after all, and decided to become the merchant of death…), it is true that the soldiers they use can be even more deadly then the demons, and it looks to me that the organization really don't have the physical power to confront people who aren't under control, so making them fighting each other is the best way to keep them under control. It's an old strategy employed by many kings, emperors and leaders before.
Eventually, however, some of the awakened women who are not demons will have to get to the core of this Organization. What is entirely clear is that this is more than a tale of revenge – this is better thought out than an average shonen anime, which after the tale of revenge arc ends the author then thinks of some greater plots/schemes on the spot to keep readers/viewers. For this one at least, it's better plotted, better thought out, and better organized. However, I don't think anything truly shocking in terms of overall plot and scheme will jump out later and surprise me.
At the end of this episode, Ophelia is more monstrous than the demon girl, and Clare is on the run, separated from Lucky. Before the end of the episode, Clare prayed for Lucky to certain gods. Oh, and there was the shonen Otaku fulfillment similar to Misato kissing Shinji scene. I guess many men's inner child wish for an beautiful older woman to take care of them. Or this is a Japanese cultural thing. Not too sure, but the idea of a tall, leggy, pale supermodel like woman bending down and kissing someone (OK, me) is certainly very appealing. Even though in real life, I would rather be with someone at least 3 years younger and shorter than me. In any case, what will Clare do to defeat Ophelia (I guess a power up and leveling up is in order, eh)?

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.

Son Gohan says:
It's not "Labola", it's "Rabona". Rabona is the holy city where they met the first Voracious Eater.
In the manga, Clare's prayer is like "God of Rabona, please protect the boy who carries your sword." That's because Raki received his sword as a gift from a Rabona's guard. There is no particular significance in her prayer, only an expression of her concern and affection towards the boy.

Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Fix Approved for EU
By Andy Szal | December 17, 2015
A Volkswagen logo is seen on a freight car at the VW factory in Zwickau, Germany. (Jan Woitas/dpa via AP)
German regulators have approved Volkswagen's proposed fix for millions of diesel vehicles, which clears the way for the embattled automaker to recall cars throughout Europe.
VW officials announced Wednesday that implementation would begin at the start of 2016. The company anticipates that the 8.5 million vehicles recalled in the European Union would be sent to mechanics "in several waves" and be completed by the third quarter of 2016.
Cars with 1.2-liter and 2.0-liter engines will receive a software update with an anticipated labor time of less than 30 minutes, while 1.6-liter engines will require less than an hour of labor to complete a software update and installation of an additional part in front of the air mass sensor.
An initial letter will inform the owners of affected vehicles about the recall, while a second will prompt them to make an appointment with a VW partner to install the repairs.
Europe accounted for most of the estimated 11 million diesel VW vehicles equipped with software designed to manipulate emissions levels during official government tests.
U.S. regulators uncovered the scandal — which resulted in the departure of high-level executives and dramatically impacted VW sales — in September. The company proposed a fix to U.S. authorities last month.
VW said that the repaired vehicles in Europe will conform to emissions standards and that it hopes to avoid "any impairment of engine output, fuel consumption or performance."

Don't try to keep up with these Joneses
Delivering Art, and Coffee, to the People of God
Brandon Hudson connects people with the ancient narratives through his art.
Brandon Hudson, T'20, is an M.Div. student at the School of Theology focusing on what it takes to be formed for the priesthood while incorporate his artistic gift. His three-panel triptych, Holy Eucharist, recently included in an ECVA exhibition entitled "The Jesus Movement: Loving, Liberating, Life-giving," has been acquired by the School of Theology for its permanent collection.
Advocating for the Marginalized
How one priest is taking the stand for social justice beyond the pulpit.
Being arrested for marching for social justice has not constrained the Rev. Sara Milford, T'15, from preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her collar is a constant reminder to advocate for people who are poor, oppressed, and immigrating.
The Pastor and Spiritual Formation
Who Does God Want to Be for You, Right Now?
In times of transition or "puzzlement," parishioners depend on clergy for guidance on how to hear God's voice through prayer. In response to that need, the Rev. Martin L Smith will be helping clergy explore the craft of spiritual direction so that skills specific to that ministry can be adopted and incorporated to regular pastoral care in this summer's Advanced Degrees Program.
God Works in Mysterious Ways
Kling's circuitous road to the Beecken Center
One doesn't always know what surprises God might have in store. From marketing to songwriting to theologizing, Kling brings a dynamism and flexibility to her role that should serve her and the Beecken Center well amidst the changing context of ministry in the 21st century.
A Modern, Global Missioner
Carson, T'19, defines herself as "a budding pneumatologist."
With visits to 40 countries in her resume, Carson, T'19, defines herself as "a budding pneumatologist." She wants to explore pneumatological missiology as it presents itself across the Anglican Communion, seeking the manifestation and the presence of the Holy Spirit on a global level through the lenses of both liturgy and hospitality. "I see my ministry as multi-faceted. I have high energy and contagious enthusiasm and I'm ready to get a little bit grungy out in the field."
Bringing Ancient Words to Life
Through cartooning, Josh Bowron has challenged the idea of traditional religious iconography.
A few years ago, the Rev. Josh Bowron, T'11, began chronicling the sacred texts of the Desert Fathers and Mothers through an unusual art form not found in many religious circles—cartoons.
From Prison to Princeton to Priest
How the call to ministry just kept coming.
This is the story of the incredible journey the Rev. Ricardo Sheppard, T'16, has taken. At nine years of age, he immigrated from Trinidad and Tobago with his Baptist minister parents to the inner-city of Brooklyn, New York. At 17, Sheppard enlisted in the Marines to get away from the church. Just like how gum sticks to a shoe, however, no matter what he did "the call" stuck.
Building Conversations on Race and Social Justice
By Cameron Nations
"If the Episcopal Church was a character from Star Wars, which character would it be?" The Rev. Marcus Halley laughs, a wide grin erupting into a glowing smile as he shakes his head in mock disapproval at my question. I wait for his answer.
Taking Creation Care Global
Just straight up homegrown Episcopal liturgy
Caroline Holmes' Trinitarian Doctrine of Intentional Living
For this University of the South graduate and seminarian, reduce, reuse, and recycle is just another way of describing her Trinitarian doctrine of intentional living and coexistence.
Doing Something Good for Sewanee
A $1 million gift has provided momentum for the School of Theology's move back to central campus.
For the Love of the Liturgy
Michael McCain, T'16, loves the liturgy of The Episcopal church and he loves being a parish priest. He is continuing in the tradition in which he was raised—praying, worshiping, and sharing in the Eucharistic feast. It is a tradition that is built to last, and Michael McCain invites you on board.
Education for Ministry—Making a Life-Long Connection
Angela and George Williamson of Brookhaven, Georgia, are deeply involved in the life of the Church in the Diocese of Atlanta. George is a trustee of the University, representing that owning diocese within the governance of the University. Furthermore, the Williamsons are among the latest donors to provide a leadership gift for the School of Theology building project and relocation.
Giving is Fundamental for the Puris
Lifelong Episcopalians, Lombard and Everett Puri attribute their philanthropic orientation to their involvement with the Church; taking a cue from the Gospel of Matthew, "where your treasure is your heart will follow." The Puris believe that giving is a fundamental part of their Christian identity. Read more.
Driven by Hope
This priest turned statesman wants Alabama to lead the change to a better world.
Maria Campbell Finds Joy in Adventure and in Giving
Campbell's connection with Sewanee began when she was a child, when her father, an Episcopal priest in Columbus, Georgia, organized summer retreats with another family from Milledgeville.
For Love of Science and Religion
Science and religion have nurtured the Rev. Mark William Frazier's, T'01, wonder in creation equally since he was a boy. Today, as both a scientist and a member of the clergy of The Episcopal Church, Frazier has a passionate reverence for the created world, the process of creation, and the Creator. Read more.
Searching for the Holy in the Holy Land
Peace and reconciliation have always informed Evans' call to the priesthood, so nine weeks in Palestine and Israel participating in a School of Theology cross-cultural learning experience wasn't a stretch.
Would You Like Some Jesus With That Coffee?
On Wednesday evenings, an Education for Ministry (EfM) group consisting of young people, ages 26–30, will gather at The Abbey, a combination church and coffee house in the Avondale community of Birmingham.
SUMMA in Action: Speaking the Truth in Love
Funding the moral education of teenagers is a wise investment on the part of the Church, because profound experiences in the teen years tend to refract through all of adulthood.
Multi-denominational Unity Inspires Ministry
Seminarians Take the Gospel Around the World
Four international students will expand their ministries this summer with projects that represent not only personal missions but also reflect the commitment of the School to develop mission-oriented leadership in the Anglican tradition.
Four international students from the School of Theology will be expanding their ministries this summer through grants from the Episcopal Evangelism Society. Each project represents not only a personal mission for these students but also a reflection of the commitment of the School of Theology to develop mission-oriented leadership in the Anglican tradition.
Holding Pixels and Spirit in Both Hands

Q: C++ type traits to extract template parameter class In a template, I want to drill down the template parameter to the real non-templated type. So:
template <typename T>
struct MyTemplate
{
    // sadly there's no extract_Base
    typedef typename extract_base<T>::MyType WorkType;
};
struct X {};
template <typename T> struct Templ {};
//MyTemplate<Templ<X>>::WorkType is X;
//MyTemplate<X>::WorkType is X;

The only solution I see is to define real base type like std::vector<X>::value_type is X. But I am curious if there's a way to do this without defining auxiliary types inside each destination template.
I saw something like http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2965.html but this is draft? and I don't quite get it.
Yes I know there's multiple inheritance, but even for simple case this would be nice.
UPDATE: Nawaz solution works for me very well, and it is easy to extend to specific cases, e.g.
template<template<typename, typename> class X, typename T1, typename T2>
struct extract_base <X<T1, T2>>   //specialization
{
    typedef T1 base;
};

I can even apply is_base_of or other filters to T1/T2 and so on. So it does work for X<T,U> - at least with g++ 4.6.7.

A: First of all, let's call it value_type instead of base, because value_type seems to be more appropriate term to describe the type which you want to extract.
You can use this:
template<typename T>
struct extract_value_type //lets call it extract_value_type
{
    typedef T value_type;
};

template<template<typename> class X, typename T>
struct extract_value_type<X<T>>   //specialization
{
    typedef T value_type;
};

It should work as long as the template argument to extract_value_type is of the form of either T or X<T>. It will not work for X<T,U>, however. But then it is easy to implement it in C++11 using variadic template.
Use it as:
template <typename T>
struct MyTemplate
{
    typedef typename extract_value_type<T>::value_type value_type;
};

Online demo : http://ideone.com/mbyvj

Now in C++11, you can use variadic template to make extract_value_type work with class templates which take more than one template arguments, such as std::vector, std::set, std::list etc.
template<template<typename, typename ...> class X, typename T, typename ...Args>
struct extract_value_type<X<T, Args...>>   //specialization
{
    typedef T value_type;
};

Pre-CBB: Michelle Visage signs up for Celebrity Big Brother?
Celebrity Big BrotherNewsPre-Series
By Jarrod	 On Dec 3, 2014
Michelle Visage has reportedly signed up to appear on the upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother
46 year old Michelle Visage has signed up to appear as a Housemate on the upcoming fifteenth series of Celebrity Big Brother. Dubbed as Ms Nasty, RuPaul's best friend, could be entering the House for an extended stay, as the series has reportedly been made 35 days long – making it the longest series of Celebrity Big Brother yet.
"I get abuse all the time for things I say on Drag Race," she has said previously.
"But when people come for me, they don't know what the f*** I know.
"This is Ru's livelihood and do you think he's gonna have my ** on there if I don't know what I'm talking about?"
Michelle is a fan of Big Brother, and has previously said that former Big Brother 7 Housemate, and Ultimate Big Brother runner-up Nikki Grahame was her favourite Housemate. Michelle joins a long list of rumoured Housemates expected to be going into the House, including Katie Hopkins, Calum Best and Patsy Kensit.
Celebrity Big Brother returns in January.

Q: Rotating a UIView to point at another UIView I'm trying to get a UIView called object to rotate to point at the center of another UIView called orig. I can't seem to be able to calculate the angle correctly. My trig is a bit rusty so I can't figure out how my math is wrong.
let y0 = object.center.y
let y1 = orig?.center.y
let x0 = object.center.x
let x1 = orig?.center.x

let angle = atan2((y1! - y0), (x1! - x0)) * 180 / CGFloat.pi
rotateTo(object: object, degrees: angle, time: deplexed[1] as! CGFloat)

A: To make the top of rotator view point at the target point.
let direction = CGPoint(x: targetPoint.x - rotatorView.center.x, y: targetPoint.y - rotatorView.center.y)
var angle = atan2(direction.y, direction.x)
rotatorView.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: angle + .pi/2)

atan2 returns zero if point is to the right.

If you want to convert the atan2 result to degrees:
if angle < 0 {
    angle += .pi * 2
}
let degrees = angle * 180.0/.pi

You add a full circle if the angle is negative. 0 degrees points to the right.

A: Create a default object and suppose it's a button :
let button = UIButton()

if button.transform == CGAffineTransform.identity {

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, animations: {

        button.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: self.radians(degrees: 180))

    })

} else {

     UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, animations: {

     button.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity

     })
}

func radians(degrees: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {

    return CGFloat(degrees * CGFloat.pi / degrees)

}

Learning from the Past
In 1978, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) was founded to create a specialized professional art college, with the dual goals of providing an excellent arts education and effective career preparation for students from across the United States and abroad. Today, with multiple locations and online distance education offerings, SCAD continues to assiduously adhere to these goals. Beyond its obviously student-centered values, university leadership prides itself on demonstrating quality and excellence in every aspect of operations, as well as sustaining a respectful and honest university environment.
Now, a just-released book—SCAD: The Architecture of a University—celebrates the institution's enduring legacy throughout 360 pages that highlight its most inspired and inspiring spaces. Co-authors Paula Wallace, SCAD president and one of its founders (see p. 50), Margaret Russell, editor-at-large for Galerie and former editor-in-chief for Architectural Digest and ELLE DECOR, and Chuck Chewning, principal at Charles H Chewning Interiors and director of interior design at Studio Rubelli, reveal the rich history of the university and its architectural treasures through scholarly research, light anecdotes, and personal insights. Forty detailed narratives, enhanced by more than 200 beautiful photographs, outline the meticulous measures enacted to carefully and artfully conserve these unique historic structures.

The paradigms are constantly shifting, says Gocke Wyre.
And, it all comes back to being continuously agile.
Much like blush or navy are the new neutrals, she says "kindergarten is the new first grade, primary school is the new middle school, high school is the new college, college is more like Corporate America, and corporations are trying to become more like kindergarten. Wherever the pendulum swings, designers need to provide spaces that are flexible enough to meet these perpetual shifts in culture." Just like Alexandria Area High School and its mashup of a school, a Starbucks, and an Apple store.
"In the not-so-distant future," Gocke Wyre muses, "perhaps we may not even need classrooms in the traditional sense—we'll all be hologramming to class with a virtual teacher. Or, we'll be using our fingers to write on an OLED [organic light-emitting diode] screen, and pen and paper will virtually cease to exist. Or, students may be able to pick any teacher in the world and attend class with students across oceans. Design environments may be more virtual reality and video game than physical. However we evolve, I hope that learning environments continue to provide spaces for human interaction and kinship."

A group of local fishermen gathered vast amounts of well-worn equipment on Tanjung Leman jetty as we waited for the boat to Pulau Sibu. A sack barrow of ice was hastily dumped aboard before their boat chugged out to sea.
The crew struggled with Mrs M's wardrobe-sized bag before placing the two tiny rucksacks of our fellow travellers on board the speed boat to Sibu. We thumped over to the northern tip of Island due to the rough sea, slowing just before turning into a row of buoys which marked the cleared route onto the beach near the Rimba Resort. We were shown to our hut which faced out to sea a nd was kept cool by a stiff northerly breeze left over from the recent monsoon.
In the afternoon we took the short jungle trail to the other side of the island which leads to the Sea Gypsy Village Resort. This caused Mrs M to drip like a leaky hot water bottle so we returned through the humidity of the jungle trail to the cool sea breezes of the Rimba resort. After showering, Mrs M produced a homemade banana cake to go with a nice cup of tea.

I am confused at this point, as what might be wrong. Can someone help me?

A: More about URI class
See if below works for you.
URI BlobEndPoint = new URI("http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1");

CloudBlobClient bClient = new CloudBlobClient(BlobEndPoint, new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey(AccountName,
                AccountSecurityKey));

A: I think the error is happening because of incorrect storage service version in the API. In your code you're trying to create a blob container in development storage. The "x-ms-version" request header value is sent as "2012-02-12" which though is the latest one but still not supported by the development storage. Development storage still supports "2011-08-18".
If you try your code against cloud storage, you should be able to create that blob container.
If you're only doing your development against development storage, one thing you could do is download the source code from GitHub (https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-java/downloads) and modify the following line of code in Constants.java
public static final String TARGET_STORAGE_VERSION = "2012-02-12";

to
public static final String TARGET_STORAGE_VERSION = "2011-08-18";

and compile the source code again. This may break some new functionality introduced in the latest service release (like asynchronous copy blobs etc.)
Other alternative is to wait out for the new SDK to come out and hope that the emulator in that version support the latest storage service version.

It won't have escaped your notice that we are in the midst of celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
I am struck by the number of commentators on British television whom I've noticed pronouncing diamond as ˈdaɪmənd rather than ˈdaɪəmənd (or the smoothed variants of the latter ˈdaəmənd, ˈdaːmənd).
In LPD I mark ˈdaɪmənd with the sign §, indicating that as far as BrE is concerned I consider this 'non-RP'. (In current terminology, you could say that it is 'deprecated'.) For AmE, on the other hand, I perhaps go too far in giving only this possibility.
I was wondering, has ˈdaɪmənd always been around, though presumably always considered incorrect? Or is it a recent import from AmE? Anyhow, why do Americans tend to use this pronunciation, given that it does not accord with the spelling?
On consulting the OED, I find that ˈdaɪmənd, contrary to my expectation, has a considerable history in BrE. The word diamond appears to be etymologically cognate with adamant, via late Latin diamas, diamant- from the Greek ἀδάμας, ἀδάμαντ- adámas, adámant- 'untamed, unalterable, unbreakable'.
The a of the middle syllable has tended to disappear since the 16th cent., as shown by the spelling di'mond, dimond. Sheridan and other early orthoepists recognize the dissyllabic pronunciation, but most recent authorities reckon three syllables. In Shakespeare the word is more frequently a trisyllable; but it is very generally dissyllabic in Pope, Thomson, Young, Cowper, Keats, and Tennyson.
So perhaps I'd better remove the § mark. And this word will be a good candidate for inclusion in the next pronunciation preference poll I conduct.
The only other dia- word I can find with a similar pronunciation is diaper. In AmE it seems usually to be ˈdaɪpɚ, to rhyme with wiper, though Webster's Collegiate adds ˈdaɪəpɚ as an 'also' pronunciation. Since this word is not used in modern BrE (though it is found in Shakespeare), it is difficult to say whether there is any established BrE pronunciation of it.
Other candidates? As far as I know, no one says *ˈdaɪdem for diadem or *ˈdaɪgræm for diagram. Does anyone say ˈdaɪlekt for dialect? I wonder.
John Cowan 4 June 2012 at 09:10
Are diaper the repeating pattern of small diamonds and diaper the fabric woven in this pattern also disused in BrE? OED3 has not reached the word; the "World English" version of ODO gives them.
I certainly do say /daɪlekt/ or even /daɪlek/ for dialect. Because the /l/ is dark, there may be an ultrashort schwa-like sound before it, but that does not amount to a /ə/.
Phillip Minden 4 June 2012 at 09:15
Dia- words might be immune, maybe also because people are more aware of the etymological morpheme boundary or an independence of the second part. -dem and -lect (and -cese in diocese) aren't reduced to schwa, -mond and -per are.
Anyway, just blame the Beatles, filthy hippies, and Lucy in the skaaaɪ with daaaɪmənz.
Darin Flynn 4 June 2012 at 09:54
It seems schwa is optional in 'diary' too, though it's hard to tell before 'r'. In Canada here 'diaper' famously shows Canadian Raising if disyllabic (as for me) but not if trisyllabic (as for my mother).
Michael Everson 4 June 2012 at 10:18
In Appalatcha they's a-sayin [dɑːlɛk] fer "dialect". (In writin it might could be "dialeck" though.)
Early Philly influence on me gives ˈdʌɪpɚ learnt young alongside ˈdaɪəgræm learnt later.
I've never heard diamond pronounced with three syllables, and I would teach it with two syllables in TEFL. Diaper is the same, but as I'm not American, I only use it under their influence. As for the other ones, they're all /daɪ.ə/ for me.
You might be interested to know that I've seen this word on a poster in a school where I work here in Japan; but it's misspelt as 'daimond' – presumably because they've assumed that we use the Japanesesque spelling 'ai' for the /aɪ/ sound. I can only assume the poster is about the Jubilee, as I can't think of any other reason for it, but the context escapes me; only this word was interesting.
Also, you've talked a bit about this 'smoothing' of things like [aɪə] to [aə] in your RP dialect. This sounds weird to me when I try and say it, almost like you're trying to be from the American south. It's not something I'd associate with a British accent. Mind you, I am from Scotland, where people are a bit more trigger-happy about splitting things into multiple syllables (I just remember being taught about syllables in primary school by clapping for every syllable in our names, and two kids called Neil and Claire clapped twice for their names, niː.əl and kleː.əɹ . The teacher, who was from England, was at a bit of a loss to explain why he thought this was incorrect...).
John Wells 4 June 2012 at 20:56
Towards the end of this video clip you can hear David Cameron pronouncing science as [sa:ns].
Hannisdal found smoothing of aɪə to be "very frequent in broadcast RP". See my report of her findings in my blog for 27 April 2007.
I'm sorry, reuog, that you find this "weird". But it's a fact.
Ed 5 June 2012 at 07:58
Neil (and all words with FLEECE + ə) are a problem across England as well. People do not agree on whether they are one syllable or two. I don't think that the same problem exists for Claire. It might've done when diphthongal pronunciations of SQUARE were common, but most English people use a monophthong now.
I just want to point out that I find it an interesting fact. I've just never really heard it before – perhaps young folk don't use it, or perhaps I've just never paid attention. That's the only reason I think it's "weird".
I do know a guy from Kent or somewhere who says he pronounces "Ireland" and "island" the same. That could be related.
In the context of dymond: am I imagining it, or is there a similar tendency to pronounce pirate with aɪ rather than aɪə/aə/aː? This way, the syllable structure is the same as in pilot.
(Geoff will probably claim so.)
I don't see how Frederic's nurse could have apprenticed him to a pirate rather than a pilot, were it not so. (The lyrics throughout are clearly meant to have two syllables in Frederic, though three are possible extrametrically.)
Tom Dawkes 4 June 2012 at 19:15
I have always assumed the surname Dymond/Dimond was derived from diamond, so perhaps the disylabic form really has a long history
I don't think we should consider 'non-RP' as 'deprecated'. Has anyone ever written to the Times to moan that people don't pronounce 'diamond' correctly?
There's already a symbol in LPD for contentious pronunciations. I prefer to take 'non-RP' as a completely neutral term.
"Depracated" has very negative connotations to me. Professor Wells tags this as "In current terminology", so I'm not sure if there is some difference from the layperson's use of the word.
I think that most non-RP speakers are unaware that anyone would demand for "diamond" to be pronounced ˈdaɪəmənd. I never paid much attention to this until I read about it in Accents of English. Many of the words beginning ir- have a raised schwa in LPD, which might be an option for "diamond" in the next edition. I am yet to hear anybody say "Irish" as ˈaɪərɪʃ or "irate" as ˈaɪəreɪt. Are there any public figures that use these forms?
I suppose this brings us on to the old chestnut of whether RP is changing or not.
I'd think many people say, less conspicuously, ˈaːrɪʃ. (I'm not talking of accents that have a monophthong PRICE vowel in general, of course.)
I looked up Tony Benn, as I thought it likely that there'd be clips of his discussing Ireland online. I watched this video. If you listen from 0:40, he says "Irish" as ˈaɪərɪʃ twice and then he switches to ˈaɪrɪʃ for the third time. Even aristocrats vary.
So now I have heard ˈaɪərɪʃ. How long until I hear ˈaɪəreɪt?
Steve Doerr 5 June 2012 at 12:14
Irate is stressed on the final syllable.
Incidentally, even NED gave (əirēⁱ·t) as its first pronunciation. (Mind you, it also gave (əiræ·sĭb'l) as the first pronunciation for irascible).
You're right. I copied and pasted ˈaɪərɪʃ, and forgot to change the stress mark when altering it for "irate".
Is that NED as New English Dictionary? Which edition is that?
1st edition, 1900.

Diamond -- usually schwaless: possible schwa in formal style
Diaper, Pirate -- always schwaless
Diary, Diagram -- always with schwa

Miles Rind 4 June 2012 at 21:53
In my experience (I was born and raised in Seattle and have lived in several other parts of the US), many if not most of the same Americans who pronounce "diaper" and "diamond" with simple daɪ for the first syllable—by which I mean the vast majority of GenAm speakers—also pronounce "dilate" as daɪəleɪt, as if it were analogous with "diagram" and "dialect"! At least, I hear that more often than I hear daɪleɪt.
To Lipman's question: I do not think that I have ever heard anyone pronounce the word "pirate" with aɪə in the first syllable.
Levente Frindt 4 June 2012 at 23:04
Yes, but in America diphthongs never regularly had a special pronunciation before R. Not only is "pirate" not paɪərɪt, but the pronunciations dʒaɪəroʊ, dʒaɪəreɪt, aɪərɪs, aɪərɪʃ, saɪərən also don't exist (although as phonetic variants, I think paɪərɪt, paərɪt, paːrɪt are all very common in AmE, too).
Contrary to what most dictionaries say, even the other tense vowels remain unchanged before an R in AmE (no pre-R-breaking), especially if the R is followed by a V, e.g. hiːroʊ, seɪrə, stoʊrɪ (if not horse-hoarse merged), tuːrɪst (if not to(ʊ)rɪst, tɔːrɪst).
Sorry, I meant: MAY remain unchanged; and on the other hand lax /ɪ e ʊ/ can also be of course realized as /iː e(ɪ) uː/ or /ɪə, eə, ʊə/ in the same environment.
What dictionary of AmE shows tense vowels before R? Your first example, 'hero', is an exception; as Prof. Wells first noticed in his 1982 volume (2?), a few words like 'zero' act as if they have an inner word boundary (#), like compounds (compare tense [i] in 'pennyroyal')
I agree with Darin. hiroʊ, ziroʊ, and perhaps also zirɑks, are rare and exceptional in AmE. To me they sound like marks of Southern speech. stoʊrɪ and seɪrə are, I think, found only in the speech of a small and aging minority of Southern speakers. (I used to have an Aunt Sarah in Montgomery, Alabama who pronounced her name that way.)
Also, while perhaps it was merely by inadvertence that Levente referred, immediately after discussing aɪ, to i, eɪ, oʊ as "the other tense vowels," I will note that the diphthong aɪ is not a tense vowel.
Ellen Kozisek 5 June 2012 at 04:52
"dilate" as comparable to "dialect", yes, I can see. But I don't think it compares to "diagram" since that doesn't have an L sound.
And I think "dilate" and "dialect" may actually have syllabic L rather than a schwa, at least for some speakers. Seems like an L can't follow a close vowel ([u], [i]), including in diphthongs, in the same syllable. So sometimes, instead of pushing the L to the last syllable of the word, a schwa is added before it, or else the L becomes syllabic.
Levente & MKR, another great Alabama example is Arab. As described here, "this city's name is pronounced as if it were two separate words – /ˈeɪræb/ ("AY-rab")." This wiki-description confirms Prof. Wells' intuition that some words in AmE exceptionally have inner #
David Crosbie 5 June 2012 at 12:23
The ˈeɪræb pronunciation was used by British soldiers in the Middle East. Not surprisingly, it was often used in a deprecating way — and by extension as a derogatory word which could be used against non-Arabs.
When I was a boy, there were no large bodies of British soldiers in Palestine, Mesopotamia, Sudan or (with a brief exception) Egypt. But ˈeɪræb survived in the working-class speech of Nottingham — perhaps heard from fathers, uncles and grandfathers.
I say working-class because I'm pretty sure it was an other ranks thing. My father served in North Africa but as an officer. He never said ˈeɪræb —nor, come to think of it, did he ever say wɒp or even ˈataɪ.
Anyway, a wag in my predominately working-class scout group once exclaimed:
You stupid ˈeɪræb! You're not even an ˈeɪræb, you're a ˈbi:ræb!
Peter Shor 5 June 2012 at 14:46
How does Canadian raising generally interact with r's? I (an American) have one diphthong in pirate, tyrant, tight, and a slightly different one in Irish, highroad, fiery, tied.
David, I'm very interested to hear about the British origin and use of [ˈeɪɹæb], thanks. As MDK & I mentioned above, this pronunciation is especially common in Southern AmE. It was also natural to Ray Stevens from small-town Georgia when he wrote Ahab the Arab, a popular novelty song in the early sixties. Mitchell & Rawls (2006 [1976]) highlight "AY-rab" in their tongue-in-cheek The complete how to speak Southern. These are legitimate regional and colloquial contexts, but [ˈeɪɹæb] is now widely generally stigmatized. In The Arab-American handbook: A guide to the Arab, Arab-American & Muslim (Shora 2009), we are specifically warned that "mispronouncing Arab as "Ay-rab" is considered very offensive. ... "Ay-rab" has been used in an insulting manner and has become a racially charged insult" (p. 46). Ironically, I suspect that, at least in North America, this negative connotation owes its spread to the derogatory view of Southerners as ignorant and prejudiced.
Peter, In his '"Canadian Raising" in some dialects of the Northern United States' (American Speech 62) Timothy Vance (1987:200) cites "examples of [ʌi] in environments other than before a voiceless consonant. One large group of such examples consists of words in which /ay/ is immediately followed by /r/. All three of my speakers agreed that the following words have [ʌi]: fire, firing, fiery, inquire, iris, inspire, Ireland, Irish, iron, pirate, spiral, tired, wire, and wiry. It is clear from these examples that, in the dialects under consideration here, /ay/ before /r/ tends to be [ʌi]. This is true whether or not the /r/ is syllabic. For example, compare iris, with nonsyllabic /r/, and iron, with syllabic /r/. On the other hand, there are also several words in which all three of my speakers had [ai] before /r/. The complete list of such examples is as follows: briar, crier, diary, flier, friar, gyrate, higher, liar. In crier, flier, higher, and liar, of course, /ay/ is followed by a morpheme boundary. In briar and friar, however, there is no boundary unless we posit some sort of folk reanalysis. [Interestingly, in the context of Prof. Wells' entry:] The ordinary pronunciation of diary for my three speakers has only two syllables, but perhaps we can attribute the [ai] to an alternative three-syllable pronunciation in which the second syllable is schwa: di$a$ry. Aside from gyrate, the Vr spellings of these words indicate that the [r] has been in a separate syllable ever since English spelling was codified. Although words like fire and wire in the all-[ʌi] list clearly have two syllables in my own pronunciation, the respellings indicate that they were monosyllables at some point in the past. Notice also that fiery and wiry allow a two-syllable pronunciation, whereas briary does not. I have no suggestions to offer for gyrate."
In her 'Canadian raising in a Midwestern US city' (Language Variation and Change 9) Jennifer Dailey-O'Cain (1997), found that in speakers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, /aɪ/ raises almost categorically before voiceless consonant and about half of the time before /ɹ/.
Raising before /ɹ/ is not widely reported in Canada. In a small study of Vancouver-area English, Rachel Klippenstein (a former student) found raising before /ɹ/ to be much more rare, lexically-restricted and variable across speakers, when compared to Vance and Dailey-O'Cain's findings.
Anthony 24 June 2012 at 16:57
I'm a Californian with small children, and for me, the first syllable of "diaper" is not the same as the first syllable of "diamond", the former is /dəɪ/, not /daɪ/.
I used to live in Oakland's "Dimond District", named for one Hugh Dimond.
I think /daɪəleɪt/ is just an exaggeration of the "ultrashort schwa" I mentioned as coming before certain instances of dark /l/. I think this is what Ellen Kozisek is describing. In any case, I don't think it's phonemic /ə/.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "markers of Southern speech". I agree that Southerners say hero and zero as if they were two words. I don't, but I still have tense /i/ in them; a lax vowel would belong to a different dialect of AmE from mine.
In Baltimore, street vendors are called ay-rabbers, pronounced as a compound word, though clearly < Arab.

Q: How to replace multiple blank spaces with tab on a mac I am trying to replace blank spaces with one tab in a fasta file, and then replace those tabs with new lines. It turns out that \t and \n do not work on mac terminal.
I have found that the \t is control+v tab, which is a major pain to type in the terminal and not conducive to copy/pasting scripts.
I have not been able to find a mac command equivalent to \n for a newline.
Desired outcome for replacing multiple blank spaces with tabs:
string1  string2
string1 <tab> string2

I have used
sed 's/  /control+v <tab>/g <filename

This works but is a pain because I need to know the exact number of consecutive blank spaces and I need to do the control+v tab deal.
For replacing each tab with a new line to get:
string1
string2

I have tried a similar method using control+v return, but that does not give the desired outcome.
Thanks in advance for you help.

A: To match multiple spaces :
echo "string string" | sed -e 's/  */$'\t'/g'

NB : Double the space to match one or more spaces.
To add newlines on OS X :
echo "string string" | sed -e 's/  */\'$'\n/g'

The $'\t' and $'\n' are respectively for a literal tab character and new line.

A: You can do like this:
cat File
string              string

To replace consecutive space with single tab:
sed -r 's/ +/\t/g' File
string  string

To replace tab with newline, use sed 's/\t/\n/g':
sed -r 's/ +/\t/g' File | sed 's/\t/\n/g'
string
string

A: Why replace multiple spaces with tabs and then replace tabs with newlines? Why not just replace multiple spaces with newlines? Or have I missed something?
Anyway, may I recommend tr to you? It transliterates, squeezes, or deletes characters. So, first usage is transliterate - change 'p' to 'd' and 't' to 'g'
echo pot | tr 'pt' 'dg'
dog

Second usage is squeeze repeated characters, via -s option:
echo moooooo | tr -s 'o'
mo

Final usage is delete characters, via -d:
echo "minced" | tr -d "nd"
mice

So, coming to your question, you want to squeeze spaces and replace with linefeeds
tr -s ' ' < fastfile | tr ' ' '\n'

Same same but different Wednesday
Ratings: MasterChef & House Rules draw exactly the same audience as a week ago -and these days that's a win.
Filed under News
Never mind growing your numbers. In this era of fragmenting audiences, it's a win for programmers to simply hold an audience from one week to the next.
Last night there was no change (unless you count 1,000 viewers) for MasterChef and House Rules from last Wednesday.
MasterChef won its slot with 965,000 viewers bang on for both weeks. House Rules had 786,000 last week and 787,000 last night.
Big Bang Theory shifted only slightly from 764,000 last week to 753,000 for its debut episode. Meanwhile Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth continue to get a raw deal from later Nine programming due to NRL commitments.
Mad as Hell dipped in week two but Eddie Perfect's sitcom pilot lifted the timeslot based on last week's offering.
Seven network won Wednesday with 30.2%, Nine 24.3%, TEN 21.3%, ABC 17.3% and SBS 6.9%.
Seven News was #1 with 1.06m / 1.01m for Seven followed by Home and Away (805,000), House Rules (787,000) and The Chase (673,000 / 430,000). In preliminary figures Criminal Minds was 339,000 in 2 cities -but Seven advises it suffered a coding error and will be adjusted to 621,000 / 452,000. Blindspot was just 166,000.
Nine was under the magic million -literally- with Nine News at 999,000 / 954,000, A Current Affair (887,000), The Big Bang Theory (753,000 / 640,000) and Hot Seat (577,000). The Footy Show was 224,000 in 2 cities. The Secret Life of the Zoo was 319,000 in 3 cities, while something called 41 Dogs in My Home (seriously) drew just 136,000 in 3 cities.
Masterchef won its slot with 965,000 viewers for TEN. The Project was 675,000 / 480,000, TEN Eyewitness News was 561,000 and Madam Secretary was 389,000 / 255,000.
ABC News (767,000), 7:30 (625,000), Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell (625,000), QI (490,000), The Future is Expensive (415,000), Antiques Roadshow (332,000) and Would I Lie to You? (322,000) comprised ABC's night.
On SBS it was 24 Hours in Emergency (306,000), The Story of China (250,000), Bosch (144,000) and SBS World News (139,000).
7TWO's Lewis ranked best on multichannels at 290,000.
Today: 354,000
Sunrise: 323,000
ABC News Breakfast: 88,000 / 49,000

How the NRL Footy Show continues to win logies with those ratings numbers has got me stuffed. #rigged
andrewb says:
So wish we had a US style of ratings where content between 7.30 and 10.30 say only counted towards ratings – we would have so much better quality programming for all three of those hours whereas as it stands now nights can be won by a network just by having decent news figures and not much else on afterwoods – news and current affairs occupy most of the top 10.
ilovetv says:
Totally agree.
Secret Squïrrel says:
omg no! Then we'd just have half hour news from 7:30 followed by 1½ hours of whatever competition show was currently on offer and then an hour of lower level reality dreck.
Jake S says:
It's seriously like Nine isn't bothering after 8:30pm anymore. At least Seven and Ten are still running (mostly) new US dramas and quality shows – but 41 Dogs In My House? Where are they buying all these odd lifestyle shows from?
I have noted before that Nine doesn't have much local content after 9pm on many nights any more. On Wednesdays the problem becomes even more exacerbated when NRL takes priority in two states. Sadly it means the rest of the country gets filler rubbish. It's not ideal.
IndridCold says:
The NRL Footy Show's 224,000 audience for Sydney and Brisbane is pretty pathetic – why bother? It would have been lucky to make the top 20 in either of the cities it was shown in. Maybe 41 Dogs would have done better.
There were rumours last week it may move but Nine denied.
rtbuggins says:
Didn't Seven show you tube video's of cats last year.
It rated better then there other shows whats the difference???
Not much! Cats are for YouTube. Actually the difference is as I stated above. 3 cities denied premium content because they hold off while NRL is in 2 states.
Sunny says:
May 19, 2016 11:52 am at 11:52 am
David, why are the network shares in this article different to the figures given under Wednesdays ratings figures?
Haven't been a big fan of Eddie Perfect to date but really enjoyed The Future is Expensive Last Night.
Was really funny in parts and could definitely sustain a whole series. The kid's playground scene was especially funny – the whingeing mum deserved what she got.
Neck and neck with Ronny's international Student so far.
Micallef was on fire last night and I quite enjoyed Eddie Perfect's comedy pilot. For me it was the best of the lot so far. Bosch was good too (somehow, despite all the clichés).
House Rules up from 786,000 last week to 787,000 last night? Waiting for someone to cheer/gloat about this and predict that it'll be nearly a million next week.
wellinmyopinion says:
Yes, where has MM been?
Mathias_se says:
I think Shaun summed up the ratings issues perfectly with his opening monologue/skit
Brilliant as usual
I love looking at what absurd and random documentaries air in Melb/Adl/Per in place of the Footy Show.
IdiotBoxing says:
41 Dogs in My Home??? My god, no wonder channel 9 is a basket case, that's not even trying!
mateo_mathieu says:
The second episode of Criminal Minds was a repeat, yet they played it before a new Blindspot episode? Like really? Poor form by Channel 7.
simmo3 says:
they did the same last week.
Mr_AJ says:
I hate to break it to you, but shows are scheduled based upon how well they rate and a repeat of Criminal Minds rates higher than a new episode of Blindspot does.
May 19, 2016 10:28 pm at 10:28 pm
Yeah, I'm aware about the ratings, but that's because most people don't want to stay up and watch Blindspot at 11pm. That's why I recorded it for later.
tvf says:
Last year I watched 1-3 eps a week of masterchef. This year I've watched 20 mins. I just don't want to watch reality tv anymore even the better ones.

Maybe "Independence Day 2: The Squeakquel" was taken?
The long-awaited sequel to 1996 blockbuster hit "Independence Day" will officially be called "Independence Day: Resurgence."
The news was announced during a 20th Century Fox livestream featuring director Roland Emmerich and cast members Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox and Liam Hemsworth, among others.
"Independence Day: Resurgence" will take place in present-day, 20 years after the events of the original film, as humanity prepares once again to battle an invading alien force.
"The world has advanced, time-wise, in exactly real-time," said Goldblum. Audiences can expect to find familiar characters taking on unfamiliar new roles. "For instance," Goldblum continued, "I am now the director, so-called, of this earth-space defense."
Though Goldblum, Fox, Bill Pullman and others will revisit their "Independence Day" characters, Will Smith will reportedly not return for the sequel.
The studio has also released the first photos of the Moon Tug, a spaceship that will appear in the film.
"Independence Day: Resurgence" is scheduled for release June 24, 2016.
John Woo made an inauspicious American debut with "Hard Target," a balls-to-the-wall action movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme that features, among other things, homeless people being hunted for sport a la "The Most Dangerous Game," poisonous snakes, arrows through the neck, a major action sequence taking place in the hanger where they keep the Marti Gras floats and flagrant use of a Creedence Clearwater Revival song. In short: it's truly awesome. Overseen by Sam Raimi, who was there as insurance for a worried Universal Pictures (they were nervous about an Asian director being on the movie), the film was initially so extreme that it was awarded an NC-17 by the MPAA, necessitating something like 17 cuts before it even got an R. As it stands, the movie is the cult classic of junky action movies.


I wish you all the blessings in this world.
That you can unfold in your heart.
This flower of a Rose,I have picked for you.
I wish you the best of joy,smiles and happiness.
I fight them with every breath I take.
I am, tangled up in the shadow of my fears.
my dreams of the days.
I buried them far away into my mind..
The shadow, of my fears follows me.

For the amiable governor of the coal city state, Enugu at this very auspicious moment of a people-oriented governance, is really in the hands of God.
Meanwhile, his administration since May 29, 2015 has clearly achieved phenomenal landmarks, stunning mileages. set unparalleled records in the annals of governance of states in Nigeria. And indices of these abound, especially in the novel manner Governor Ugwuanyi has continued to warm himself into the hearts of the people by opening his doors at a level no other governor would across the country. In the management of the economy of the state, for instance, he has already earned uncommon commendations for his outstanding frugality, the latest of such coming from the hall of ambassadors of countries serving in Nigeria. They are right. Since assumption of office, Governor Ugwuanyi has traveled abroad only once. And that was when he led his state's economic mission to Dublin, Ireland, a mission that is already yielding visible dividends, especially in the state's education sector. Still along that line, this is a governor in the present day Nigeria who assumed office from his very comfortable background as a three-time member of the House of Representatives but would never travel to Abuja, the nation's seat of power unless there is a compelling need of state function.
Yet, his administration has within so short a time become a lesson in massive infrastructure development that is gradually taking parts of the state by storm and graduating semi-urban areas to new urban areas while effecting a growing mass movement for opening up of rural areas of the state. A few days ago, an impartial assessor, internationally acclaimed as an organization with integrity- a data simplifying civic organization known as BudgiT- named Enugu, Lagos and River states as the only three states in Nigeria meeting their recurrent obligations, especially by paying workers' salaries promptly. for Enugu to attain this Herculian status, the chief driver of her administration certainly must be a rare human with a magical wisdom in economic management. The state has neither oil nor the advantage of hosting industrial clusters, a twin advantage that places the other two states in clear comfort. Hence, in its rarest verdict in recent times on the stewardship of an elected governor in the country, the Nigerian Labour Congress described Ugwuanyi as a governor clearly with a magic wand, singling him out among all the 36 state governors in the country as the best in that wise. Yet, the governor had another feather added to his growing glorious cap when on Saturday, December10, 2016, he was conferred with an honorary doctorate degree in Business Administration by Enugu State University of Science and Technology.

The Nature of "Scrubs"
July 27, 2012 by Jim Farrell
In my Campus Ecology class, when we're reading the chapter on "The Nature of Screens," I ask students to watch their favorite programs for its environmental implications. Here's an example—try it for your own shows. What will it take to change media portrayals of environmentalism?
Yesterday in class we discussed TV and how TV makes us think about environmental values. How perfect then that today I was watching my Scrubs DVD collection and saw the environmental episode they did. In the show, the janitor takes on making the hospital sustainable, comically threatening those who didn't recycle, carpool to work, etc. Like all Scrubs episodes, it was hilarious, but I decided to focus on what environmentally the episode was telling me. The episode just ended up upholding the common comical view of environmentalists. First, the person who pushed the janitor to become an environmentalist was the hospital's lawyer and resident sad-sack, Ted. It's also a common theme on the show that the janitor's pretty crazy. So that's what a viewer takes away from the show—environmentalists are made up of pathetic and weird people. Throughout the episode the janitor is also mocked for what he was doing, including being the stereotypical "hippie." And by the end of the episode, he gives up, thinking he can't and hasn't made a change—another negative environmental message. The one positive was the episode did end by showing people carpooling and wrapping it up by saying maybe we can affect small changes even when we feel we aren't making a difference. So that was a nice little end, but overall I got a negative portrayal at environmentalists from the media, a view I think TV takes too often.

I have recently gotten my hands on a NUC6i3SYH and after a few weeks I am absolutely pleased. Of course this is not a post about performance and technical details. There are many other excellent websites and blogs that will feed your technical needs. But what about "experience and usability" for a standard user? What can you do with a NUC? How does the NUC "feel"?
Let's start from the beginning; from when you receive the box. If you have never seen a NUC before, you will be amazed by how small it is. You'll dig through the stuff contained in the boxYou will find: the VESA mount bracket and mounting hole support for sticking the NUC on the back of your screen; 19V, 65W wall-mount AC-DC power adapter with multi-country AC plugs; integration guide; processor badge; and some advisement from Intel. and then take out the NUC.
First thing: you'll wonder why standard desktop PCs have to be that big! OK yes, no graphic cards or PCI expansion slots, but nonetheless, the NUC6i3SYH (and all the other NUCs) is a super-small, fully capable PC; and by "fully capable" I really mean a PC with which can do almost everything you can throw at it. This NUC has an i3 6100U, which actually puts it ahead of my i5 4210U of my laptop.Comparison between the two. As you can imagine the essential tasks are a breeze. Writing blog posts, editing files in Office, browsing, watching YouTube, streaming movies, all the standard tasks that you usually do on your PC are fast and reactive. Not ideal for intensive Photoshop or video editing, but in a pinch it will pull it off by taking a little bit longer than you are used to. Interesting to point out is that the NUC pulls these performances by consuming little!Certainly less than 65W under pressure, looking at the power supply.
You get also quite some connectivity: there is an IR receiver window, standard 3.5mm audio jack, two USB 3.0 ports: one standard blue and one yellow, for fast charging. Turn the NUC around and you get a full-sized HDMI 1.4b portThis was the main reason I chose this NUC at the time, together with the SKYLAKE processor, the 19-volt DC input, RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet, two standard USB 3.0 ports and a Mini DisplayPort 1.2, together with a SDXC card on the side. Open the lid, and you will find connection for 2 DDR 4 SO-DIMM RAM, a SATA3 connector for your SSD/HDD that you attach to the lidBe careful, you can only attach a full SSD/HHD to the lid if you have the non-slim version of a NUC!, the M.2 slot. All of this in a 115 x 111 x 48 mm casing!
It's small, it's powerful, but is it powerful enough to game? It is clear, your NUC will never be a powerful gaming machine, just look at the statistics around the web, but can you game on it? Well, as always the answer is: "it depends". Don't be silly and expect to play DOOM in Full HD and ultra-settings. It's not going to happen. But you can play older games. In my case, I use the NUC as a perfect retro-gaming machine. I can't begin to describe how happy it makes me to play Sensible World of Soccer 96/97 on a 50 inches screen! Or Rollercoaster Tycoon. Or The Settlers II. And the list goes on!
But can it do more? Yes, it can do a bit more thanks to the integrated graphic card, the HD 520: Diablo 3 on medium to high setting on 1920 x 1080 and some older games; lower the settings and you will be able to play many pre-2015 games I would say pre 2014 but I cannot test them all. You can play The Elders Scrolls Online too, if you please. Low settings and a resolution of max 720px or 1366×768, and off you go to Tamriel at 35/40 fps! To me, all of this is simply amazing. How far have we gone… Coming from the old Amiga 500+ school, seeing a PC that is so small, yet so powerful, is amazing. It had been years that I hadn't felt so excited by a piece of technology I had bought. Every time I sit on my couch and play ESO or some other game, it is still difficult to wrap my head around the fact that all of this is coming from such a small box. If you'll get the Intel i5 version, you'll be able to push thing even further!
Getting you NUC to perform so well with your games and with your everyday tasks takes a little bit of tweaking. Booting up the NUC was not as event-less as I would have liked it to be: after plugging in my SSD with Windows 10 and network cable, the NUC tried to boot over LAN as a standard. Weird, but it makes sense since the NUC comes without any drive inside and without an OS. I can imagine that a user that has no experience in these things might be confused and have no idea how to go further. A little trip to the BIOS and a fresh version of Windows 10 and the problem was solved.
This event gave me the chance to explore the available settings in the BIOS, and I must say I was impressed with what I could change. The options range from the speed of the fan to the behavior of the integrated GPU. BIOS possibilities (and actual overclocking) depend on the Intel processor version. I eventually bought the cheapest SSD M.2 I could find Kingston SSDNow 120gb M.2. This was more out of curiosity than for anything else; I wanted to see how small things can be! After some research to make sure I would buy the right 80mm format, I pressed the "order" button and the day after I got busy. Installing the SSD M.2 was simple and straightforward, but from a performance point of view, there wasn't any noticeable improvements or decrease in performance as it was super-fast, but it was super-fast before. I am sure from on a synthetic benchmark there would be different numbers.
I grabbed my NUC6i3 at 284,89 Euros, plus RAM, . Was it worth it? I'm very inclined to say "yes". Reading around internet you will see it being defined as a "HTPC" often, source but it is not only that: It is a full-blown PC that could easily replace an older workhorse for 1/10th of the size. It's an excellent retro-gaming machine, plus you can play some more demanding games on it. 4K videos, Full-HD, are no problem at all. You can pair this with a USB DAC and you are all set to enjoy excellent audio too.

Foreign minister meets Indian counterpart, stresses Teesta deal, border killings

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen seen shaking hands with newly-appointed Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on on the sidelines of the 5th Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) Summit, on Friday, June 15, 2019 BSS
Officials don't have any idea when the Teesta deal can be inked; a 15-year interim deal was to be signed about 8 years ago
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has laid emphasis on concluding the much-talked about Teesta water sharing agreement which was supposed to be signed about eight years ago, and putting a stop to the killing of Bangladeshis along the borders.
At his first meeting with newly-appointed Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday, on the sidelines of the 5th Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) Summit, in Tajikistan's capital Dushanbe, the Bangladesh foreign minister brought to the notice of his counterpart, the need to put an end to the killings of Bangladeshi civilians along the border between the two countries, said a Foreign Ministry press release yesterday (Saturday).
A 15-year interim agreement on the water sharing of the international river was scheduled to be inked on September 5, 2011, during theIndian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's visit to Dhaka. But this did not happen due to last minute objections from the West Bengal Chief Minister.
Despite repeated assurances from the Indian side, including from the former and incumbent Prime Ministers, there has not been any visible development in about the last eight years.
In April, 2017, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the presence of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, told a joint press conference with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina that the Teesta water sharing deal would be concluded during the tenure of his and Sheikh Hasina's term in office. That too has not yet materialized.
Officials concerned at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Water Resources do not have any idea as to when this deal, a major irritant to the Dhaka-Delhi relationship, will be signed.
The killing of Bangladeshi civilians by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF), another significant bone of contention in the ties between the two neighbours, has been continuing since the Independence of Bangladesh.
Though it has gone down notably over very recent years, the killings have not completely stopped, as demanded by Bangladesh and as pledged by India.
Bangladesh has long been calling for bringing the killings along the border to zero.
At the meeting with Jaishankar, Dr Momen also asked for active Indian support and cooperation in resolving the Rohingya crisis, says the release.
The Indian External Affairs Minister assured there would be the necessary cooperation in this regard, saying that the government of Narendra Modi has demonstrated mature sensitivity in improving relations with its neighbours.
Expressing satisfaction with the current state of relationship between Bangladesh and India, the ministers of India and Bangladesh expressed hope the relationship would grow further in the future.
Jaishankar noted that as the gateway to India's look east economic diplomacy, Bangladesh has unique potential and geopolitical advantage, saying that the strengthening of BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) will be beneficial for both Dhaka and Delhi.
India always places great emphasis on regional connectivity, he added.
