History of DotNetNuke
The DotNetNuke application originally evolved out of another project, the IBuySpy Workshop. The IBuySpy Workshop application had been created by Shaun Walker as an enhancement to the IBuySpy Portal that started as a sample application for the .NET Framework. Early versions of DotNetNuke were released by Walker's company, Perpetual Motion Inc, while later development was expanded by the open source community.
The name DotNetNuke was coined by Walker by combining the term .NET with the word "nuke", which had been popular with pre-existing frameworks such as PHP-Nuke and PostNuke. The term DotNetNuke and DNN are registered trademarks in the US and Canada.
In September 2006, four members of the project's board of directors formed a corporation to oversee the development of the project. The new DotNetNuke Corporation was co-founded by Walker, Joe Brinkman, Nik Kalyani, and Scott Willhite and replaced Perpetual Motion Interactive Systems Inc. as the corporate entity behind the project.
On November 25, 2008, DotNetNuke announced Series A financing from Sierra Ventures and August Capital, and in February 2009, after hiring Navin Nagiah as CEO, a Professional Edition version of DotNetNuke has been released for business and enterprise customers. In February 2010 DotNetNuke announced a Series B financing from Sierra Ventures, August Capital, and Pelion Venture Partners.
In August 2009 a partner program was launched by DotNetNuke Corporation, aimed at providing support to the web design and development companies that build web sites using DotNetNuke. DotNetNuke Corporation also announced the acquisition of Snowcovered, an online market for DotNetNuke modules, skins, services and related products.
In October 2009, the 2009 Open Source CMS Market Share Report concluded that DotNetNuke was the leading .NET-based open source web content management system.
In 2013, the company was renamed to DNN Corporation.


I read this book two years ago at a local library and can't remember the name of it. The book is really old, written in the 60s. It has a peach cover with multicolored text.
It's about a man living in a society on an alien planet where a prison ship had crashed and the survivors banded together to form a society. He gets a promotion to a telegraph operator. I think they called it semaphore operator.
There are giant squid predators that are in a relationship with the human population. They let them live in exchange for food and are worshipped by a theocracy. There is one particular big squid who is the King and he wrecks everything the protagonist had including killing his mentor after the protagonist started talking about how they were not beholden to the monsters.
When Sklar questions the need to continue to worship and feed this predator, King Kragen appears, wrecks his home and kills his mentor. Rather than regard this as divine punishment, Sklar suspects that the conservative priesthood has enough control over King Kragen to kill those who oppose their views, and to thus uphold their privileged status.

Centre members Dr Danielle Blaylock, Dr Laura Taylor, Professor Rhiannon Turner, and Dr Stephanie Burns have successfully bid for funding from the PEACE IV European Special Body / Department for the Economy to undertake an Impact Evaluation of the PEACE IV Programme on Children and Young People. Dr Burns will be the postdoctoral reesarcher on the project, which will start in December 2017 and continue until 2022 (November 2017).
The shootings at the Canadian Parliament on October 22, 2014 received international coverage and fueled concerns about terrorism and growing Islamoprejudice. In the wake of this event, an international team of researchers, led by Becky Choma at Ryerson University, Canada, and co-authored by Professor Rhiannon Turner, Professor Gordon Hodson, and Arvat Jagayat, undertook two studies (n=215, n=492) investigated objective temporal distance, right-wing ideology, and intergroup emotions as predictors of prejudice, outgroup trust, and the restriction of civil liberties. Objective temporal distance from the shootings was also examined as a moderator of the relations between ideology and intergroup emotions with intergroup attitudes. Results showed that greater endorsement of right-wing ideologies, higher intergroup anxiety, or higher intergroup disgust were associated with greater prejudice and lower outgroup trust. Of particular note, participants who completed the survey further from (vs. closer to) the event reported more positive intergroup attitudes and were less likely to endorse restricting civil liberties. Objective temporal distance also moderated some of the associations between intergroup emotions with intergroup attitudes.. The research was accepted for publication in the journal Personality and Individaul Differences (November 2017).
Congratulations to Karolina Urbanska, who successfully undertook her PhD viva on 19th October 2017. Karolina, who was supervised by former Centre member Dr Sam Pehrson (now at St Andrews), Professor Rhiannon Turner and Dr Laura Taylor, and who undertake her PhD on the legitimacy of authority in Northern Ireland and Malaysia, passed with minor corrections. Karolina was a valued member of the Centre, founding and organising our weekly journal club, and playing a lead role in the organisation of various events and conferences. Karolina has now moved to France to undertake a postdoctoral position (October 2017).
We are delighted to welcome Dr Danielle Blaylock, who joined the Centre as a Lecturer in Applied Social Psychology in October 2017. Dr Blaylock, a social psychologist originally from Maine, US, undertook her PhD with Professor Mike Hogg at Claremont Graduate University in California. She first visited Northern Ireland in 2005 during her PhD working at the Institute for Conflict Research in Belfast, before returning to Northern Ireland in 2009. She is not new to Queen's University Belfast, having been a research fellow in the Centre for Shared Education since 2012, working with Professor Joanne Hughes on a 5 year study of intergroup contact in Northern Ireland schools. Prior to that she was a research fellow in the Institute for Irish Studies, working with Dr Dominic Bryan. Dr Blaylock has hit the ground running since her arrival, having submitted a bid for PEACE IV EU Special Programme Body funding within weeks of her arrival. She also holds funding, along with Professor Hughes and Professor Rhiannon Turner, from the ESRC, and is working on a number of projects with Dr Laura Taylor. She also holds funding from the Northern Ireland Policing Board to investigate community policing (October 2017).
The Centre for Identity and Intergroup Relations is part of a successful bid to the ESRC to examine the Post-Brexit UK/Ireland Border and the stability of peace and security in Northern Ireland. The interdiscilpinary project, which is led by Professor John Garry (School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics, QUB), and will involve co-investigators Professor Brendan O'Leary, Professor John Coakley, Professor Rhiannon Turner (School of Psychology, QUB), Dr Clifford Stevenson (Anglia Ruskin University), and Professor David Farrell, will conduct two "deliberative democracy" exercises which allow Northern Ireland citizens the space and relevant information to consider the challenging issue of Brexit and the border (March 2017).
The Centre for Identity and Intergroup Relations, along with colleagues in the Centre for Shared Education, the Senator George J Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice, has received funding from the Economic and Social Research Council as part of their Global Challenges Research Fund.
The project, which involves collaboration with the Centre for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution, St Cyril and Methodius University Skopje, Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, and University of Zagreb, is entitled, Education in divided societies: Developing and researching shared education in the Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia.
It will develop a strategic network of key educational stakeholders in Northern Ireland and the Balkan region whose work contributes to peace building through the promotion of intergroup contact and intercultural dialogue in education. In doing so, the project will establish an infrastructure that connects academics, practitioners, NGOs, and policymakers across four diverse contexts, each transitioning from violence to sustainable peace.
The project is due to commence in early 2017 and will include a number of in-country events designed to forge relationships, to facilitate, promote, and develop models of shared education appropriate to each context, and to enhance the internal capacity within each jurisdiction to effective implement, monitor, and evaluate shared education initiatives.
Bringing together members from post-conflict societies with the common challenge of separate education for divided groups will allow for the generation of distinctive insights and perspectives to inform a broader discussion around the role of education in divided societies to act as a vehicle for reconciliation and social change (November 2016).
Postgraduate Researchers from CIIR, Christine Spencer, Judith Escuin-Checa, and Jeff Hanna were on the organising committee of the School of Psychology's Annual Postgraduate Conference. The highly successful and well attended conference, which took place on 23rd September in the David Keir Building at Queen's, involved a series of research talks PhD students entering their second year of study. The conference also featured a keynote talk by Dr Nick Hopkins (University of Dundee), and talks from Centre members Dr Gary McKeown and Dr Ioana Latu (September 2016).
How do people in groups respond to authority decisions across cultural contexts? This is the question that led Karolina Urbanska, final year PhD student, to collaborate with Dr Miriam Park (Monash University Malaysia). Malaysia, typically theorized as vertical collectivist country, makes an interesting case for investigating this question. Having received support from the School of Psychology, Karolina visited Dr Park from 9 September to 16 September 2016 at Monash University Malaysia, located 15 miles away from Kuala Lumpur. Karolina collected data from 160 Malaysian students, which will provide insights into cultural values that determine group members' responses to authority decisions. She also gave a guest lecture to fourth year psychology students in the 'Psychology in Society' module (September 2016).
Professor Rhiannon Turner has been seconded to the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security, and Justice as a Senior Research Fellow from 1st September 2016 until 28th February 2018.

Dan Hillier
Introducing...Chastity
Like most sprawling urbanite locations, Canada's Ontario province is a place of omnipresent contrasts. Home to middle class oasis's of luxury as well as strangling sprawls of urban decay and poverty, the city is a classic example of a modern metropolitan dystopia. One act who has bore witness to this divide and civic contrast is Chastity, a collective who paint vivid portraits of the issues found here through the art of noise and doom tinged punk marred with soaring vocals.
The brainchild of one Brandon Williams, the act is the true embodiment of the DIY ethos, shunning any material that is artificial and fraudulent in the process. In true vein to this, the first Chastity show was hosted within Williams' bedroom, a show that was promptly shut down by local law enforcement due to the chaos that ensured. Such an incident spurred the act to fully incorporate the underground ethos and grit of the scene into their work and aesthetic, releasing their debut TAPE EP in 2015. Since then the project has become to be a favorite among the Ontario scene, performing with fellow noisemakers such as Metz, Fucked Up and Chelsea Wolfe.
In 2017 the group signed with the Brooklyn based Captured Tracks; a label that allowed their music to flow to new territories whilst allowing the group to create their craft without the atypical restrictions that sometimes come hand in hand with signing to label. Such a statement was solidified with their Chains EP. The release saw the band additional gargantuan heft and fluidity to their sound, forging a release that was simultaneously crushing and beautiful, an uncensored view of what it's like to be raised in an environment where a polarising sense of despondency was unmasked. Many have cited the act as the millennial adaption of Smashing Pumpkins and Deftones; a group who taken the inspirations of the forefathers of the genre whilst not adhering to the blueprints while growing to loathe the corruption and divide within mainstream society.
The project is now on the cusp of releasing their full-length debut; Death Lust. Being released on July the 13th, the anticipation for the record peaked on the release of the doom laced lead single 'Children' and it's accompanying video. Flowing with metallic gruel, it's a vivid snapshot of the institutional racism embedded within the province's police force. The track and video were inspired by the unprovoked assault of a young black man by two members of the police force. Directed by Justin Singer, the film animates such a horrific crime in way most intense, channeling the rage and frustration felt by members of the Ontario community who have been dealt injustice.
Death Lust is released on Friday 13th June via Captured Tracks Records. Watch the fantastic video for 'Children' below.

This event is for U.S. Naval War College students, faculty and staff.
Too Small to Count? The Impacts and Policy Implications of Small Disasters in the Sahel
Despite extensive research on disasters induced by natural hazards and climate change, the impact of those of smaller scale remains relatively understudied. This is especially the case in the Sahel, an increasingly important zone in terms of disaster risk reduction. To what extent do 'small disasters' cumulatively lead to substantial losses in the Sahel and how do public and nonprofit decisionmakers manage small disasters?
To answer these questions, we adopt a mixed methods approach. Analyzing state-level panel data on disasters losses in Senegal and Mali for the decade between 2005 and 2014, we find that small disasters are as impactful if not more than big disasters in driving total losses, and especially for housing and agricultural losses. We report that large disasters are concentrated in Southern Mali, indicating other areas experiencing many small disasters may be overlooked by assistance classically triggered by many deaths from a big event. We distill policy insights from these quantitative findings with ten qualitative interviews and three focus groups and document analysis from Senegal and Mali. The qualitative findings highlight the challenges of small disasters and the consequences of conflict and small disasters. Together, the findings indicate that small disasters lead to significant disruption for vulnerable communities already shouldering burdens of conflict, food insecurity, and environmental degradation.

Welcome, returning and new scholars, to Tacoma's groves of academe – or, in the absence of suitable groves, the concrete stairways and asphalt parking lots of academe.
You embark upon a year of scholarly pursuits – or pursuits of other less noble but more entertaining activities – at a time of considerable question over the purpose, mission and status of American institutions of higher education.
Are they temples of learning and inquiry, nurturing and molding the leaders, citizens and innovators of tomorrow? Or are they holding pens for those who haven't decided what to do with their lives or who shouldn't be inflicted on the real world just yet? Remedial academies for students to catch up on all the stuff that should have been learned in high school, but didn't? Research institutions with faculty and students providing cheap labor? Economic development engines for a region? One of the last true competitive and comparative advantages the U.S. has left in the global economy? Glorified vocational-training centers? Football teams with trade schools attached? Drinking establishments with books?

Brigham Young (1 de juny de 1801 - 29 d'agost de 1877) va ser el segon profeta vident i revelador, president de l'Església de Jesucrist dels Sants dels Últims Dies, també coneguts com a mormons. Young és conegut amb diversos àlies, entre ells «el Moisès Americà» (o també «Moisès modern»o «Moisès mormó») pel fet que, com Moisès, va conduir als primers membres de l'Església de Jesucrist durant un èxode per les planes d'Amèrica del Nord, per arribar a una terra promesa. També se l'ha conegut com «el Lleó del Senyor» per la seva forta personalitat, i com a «Germà Brigham». La seva biografia va ser portada al cinema el 1940 en la pel·lícula Brigham Young, protagonitzada per Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, Vincent Price i Dean Jagger com Brigham Young.

Biografia
Young va néixer en una família de grangers a Whittingham al Vermont i va treballar com a fuster i ferrer itinerant, entre altres treballs. Es va casar per primera vegada el 1824.

Encara que s'havia convertit al metodisme el 1823, Young es va acostar al mormonisme després de llegir el Llibre del Mormó poc després de la publicació el 1830. Es va unir formalment a la nova fe el 1832 i va viatjar a Canadà com a missioner. Quan la seva primera dona va morir a 1833, Young col·laborar amb altres mormons per establir una comunitat a Kirtland a Ohio.

Young estava molt compromès amb la seva fe. Va ser ordenat com apòstol i es va unir al Consell dels Dotze Apòstols com un dels primers membres, el 14 de febrer de 1835. Durant les persecucions de Missouri a final de la dècada dels 1830 li van ser embargades totes les seves propietats. El 1840 i 1841 va viatjar al Regne Unit com a missioner de l'Església. A la dècada dels 1840 Young estava entre els que van establir la ciutat de Nauvoo a Illinois, a la vora del riu Mississipí. En aquesta ciutat es va establir la nova seu de l'Església de Jesucrist dels Sants dels Últims Dies.

Mentre era a la presó esperant un judici per càrrecs de traïció, el president de l'Església Joseph Smith va ser assassinat per una multitud enfervorida el 1844.

Hi va haver diversos aspirants per substituir-lo com a president de l'església. Sidney Rigdon, l'únic supervivent de la primera presidència argumentar la necessitat de ser temporalment «guardià de l'Església», però en un míting celebrat a Nauvoo, Young va argumentar amb èxit que era el Consell dels Dotze qui havia de regir la comunitat. Aquesta proposta va tirar endavant, i Young, com a president del Consell, es va proclamar líder com a president del Quorum dels Dotze.

A partir d'aquesta conferència l'Església es va escindir en dos grans corrents: els que postulaven que la successió de la presidència i ofici de profeta havien d'estar a càrrec de qui hauria estat assenyalat pel difunt Joseph Smith Junior, el seu fill de dotze anys a la data Joseph Smith Tercer i aquells que van recolzar l'autoproclamació de Brigham Young com a líder espiritual, profeta, vident i revelador. El corrent que no acceptà Young avui conformà la Comunitat de Crist radicada a Independence (Missouri) i la facció que va seguir Young avui és l'Església de Jesucrist dels Sants dels Últims dies establerta a Utah.

Rigdon es va escindir i va assumir la presidència de l'Església Rigdonita, amb seu a Pittsburgh a Pennsilvània. Van sorgir també altres líders per encapçalar el que més tard serien grups independents del moviment.

President de l'Església de Jesucrist dels Sants dels Últims Dies

Després de tres anys sota el Consell dels Dotze, Young va organitzar una nova Primera Presidència i va ser declarat president de l'Església el 1847. La persistència de conflictes i la pràctica de la poligàmia va obligar Young a instal·lar la seva comunitat religiosa al territori que avui és Utah, aleshores part de Mèxic. L'any 1846 Young va organitzar el viatge que portaria als seus fidels a Winter Quarters, Nebraska, i més tard a la Vall del Llac Salat, el 24 de juliol de 1847. Aquesta data es recorda com el Dia del Pioner i és festiu a tot l'estat de Utah.

Poc després que les noves colònies mormones s'establissin en territori mexicà (part de l'Alta Califòrnia) venut il·legalment als Estats Units per Antonio López de Santa Anna i esmentat com «cessió mexicana» per cronistes nord-americans de l'època, Young va sol·licitar al Congrés dels Estats Units la creació de l'estat de Deseret. En lloc d'això, el 1850 es va establir al territori que avui és Utah, i Young va ser nomenat governador. Com a governador i president de l'Església, Young va gestionar assumptes religiosos i econòmics. Promoure la independència econòmica i l'autarquia. Va elevar l'estatus econòmic de les arques eclesiàstiques traient l'església i els seus membres de la pobresa.

Moltes ciutats de Utah i alguns dels estats veïns van ser fundades sota la direcció de Young. Alguns han acusat Young de ser un autòcrata, altres discrepen, reconeixent Young com un líder fort i influent durant una època complicada, conservant així una reputació i una herència que estan majoritàriament ben vistes dins del moviment mormó.

Massacre de Mountain Meadows
El 1857, l'església mormona estava assegurant el seu poder a Utah quan va ocórrer un fet luctuós. Una caravana d'un centenar i mig de persones travessava l'estat amb destinació de Califòrnia, la caravana era dirigida per Fincher, per això se la coneixia com la «caravana Fincher». Eren colons buscant noves terres, la caravana fou envoltada i atacada per un grup de mormons armats. Després de cinc dies, la milícia mormona va convèncer els colons de rendir-se amb la promesa que se'ls donaria un salconduit per travessar l'estat. Quan els colons es van rendir va començar la carnisseria més gran entre pioners blancs durant tota la història de la colonització a Amèrica. Al voltant de 140 homes, dones i nens van ser executats a sang freda, només disset nens menors de vuit anys van sobreviure. Vuit anys és considerada el màxim d'edat per la innocència entre els mormons. El govern va detenir John D. Lee acusat com l'executor intel·lectual de la massacre. L'església el va excomunicar declarant Lee, fora de la llei de l'home i de l'església al suposadament mal interpretar un edicte del seu líder, Brigham Young.

Al març de 1877, 20 anys més tard, el govern federal dels Estats Units executà John D. Lee per la direcció dels assassinats. En les seves últimes paraules, John D. Lee confessà haver estat traït per Brigham Young, encara que va mantenir que aquest no va saber res de l'atrocitat fins després que havia passat. Certa interpretació dels fets van fer a John D. Lee suposar que Brigham Young volia que tot emigrant que passés pel territori de Utah durant el toc de queda fos detingut o assassinat. Brigham Young no va ser jutjat per la massacre fins que va morir aquest mateix any de 1877. L'esdeveniment de Mountain Meadows va ser i ha estat fins al dia d'avui criticat pels detractors de l'església mormona contant una gran quantitat de material bibliogràfic dedicat al tema.

Select mi value from the list and click OK to close the dialog.
Excellent quality controlled blasting or excavation by Tunnel Boring Machine results in minimal disturbance to the confined rock mass surrounding a tunnel.
Mechanical or hand excavation in poor quality rock masses (no blasting) results in minimal disturbance to the surrounding rock mass.
Where squeezing problems result in significant floor heave, disturbance can be severe unless a temporary invert, as shown in the photograph, is placed.
Very poor quality blasting in a hard rock tunnel results in severe local damage, extending 2 or 3 m, in the surrounding rock mass.
Small scale blasting in civil engineering slopes results in modest rock mass damage, particularly if controlled blasting is used as shown on the left hand side of the photograph. However, stress relief results in some disturbance.
Very large open pit mine slopes suffer significant disturbance due to heavy production blasting and also due to stress relief from overburden removal.
In some softer rocks excavation can be carried out by ripping and dozing and the degree of damage to the slopes is less.
1-Select the unit system. Either Metric or Imperial units can be selected in ORMAS. In Metric, the stress units are Megapascals (MPa) or Kilopascal (kPa). In Imperial, the stress units may be either pound per square foot (psf) or pound per square inch (psi).
4-Enter the mi value or click on the list button beside the mi input, and select the mi value from the list. Click OK to close the dialog.
5-Enter the disturbance factor (D) or click of the disturbance factor dialog to select the D value. D is a factor depends on the degree of disturbance due to blast damage andstress relaxation. Click OK to close the dialog. See Ref. 1 and 2 for more information.
6-Enter the Ei value or click of the modulus ratio (mr) dialog to estimate the intact rock modulus. The Mr value can be estimated by selecting the list button beside the Mr edit box. The intact modulus (Ei) is automatically calculated. Click OK to close the dialog. See Ref. 1 and 2 the Rock Mass Modulus topic for more information.
7-There are three possible selections for failure envelope range such as custom, tunnels, slopes. When the failure envelope range option = Custom, you may enter any value of sigma3max. Based on the principles outlined in this paper, ORMAS estimates maximum sigma3 values for Tunnel or Slope design applications.
Note:Whenever input data is entered or changed in ORMAS, failure envelopes are automatically updated to reflect the current input data. In addition to the basic strength criterion parameters, various other parameters are computed (e.g. tensile strength, uniaxial compressive strength, rock mass deformation modulus), according to the current strength criterion.
1-The Hoek-Brown parameters are calculated using the Generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion. For a definition of these parameters, and the equations which define them, please see Ref. 1 and 2.
2-The calculation of equivalent Mohr-Coulomb parameters from the Hoek-Brown failure criterion, is provided by ORMAS program.
3-The rock mass parameters such as rock mass tensile strength (sigt), uniaxial rock mass compressive strength (sigc) andglobal rock mass compressive strength (sigcm) as well as rock mass modulus of deformation (Erm) are also calculated. For the definitions of these parameters, and the equations used to calculate them, please see Ref. 1 and 2.
By default, ORMAS plots both the principal stress envelope (sigma1 versus sigma3) and the shear-normal strength envelope, for the current strength criterion and strength parameters which are in effect.
ORMAS offers a summary of input and output parameters as well as both plots in pdf format. By clicking on "Report" button you will be able to save the report in your local machine.

Ex-Chelsea man Adrian Mutu has joined Indian Super League side FC Pune City as their marquee player for the upcoming season, Indian news organisation First Post have reported.
Mutu joins former Manchester City coach David Platt who has recently taken over as manager at Pune City.
On signing the 36-year old, Platt said: "Adrian has experience at the highest level and a professional motivation to succeed. I've admired him from afar for some years and am very excited at the prospect of us working together for the benefit of FC Pune City."
The Romanian's time at Chelsea was cut short following Mutu failing a drugs test which resulted in a 7-month ban and a £20,000 fine by the FA in 2004.
The £16 million signing by Roman Abramovich was then released by Chelsea despite having impressed on the field in his 38 appearances, claiming 10 goals during his Stamford Bridge stay.
A statement by Mutu read: "The team has gathered some quality signings from India as well as abroad and excellent backroom staff will make us an exciting side."
Ivory Coast's all time record appearance holder Didier Zokora was also confirmed today by Pune. The former Tottenham midfielder won 123 caps for his country before announcing his retirement last year.
This follows the signing of former Reading left back Nicky Shorey and ex-Everton goalkeeper Steve Simonsen who both joined the club earlier this month.
Shorey (34) earned two England caps back in 2007 while Simonsen (36) won promotion from the Championship with Stoke City back in 2008.
With these signings in place, Pune will be targeting a title challenge this season after finishing sixth in the eight team Super League last year.

If you have an extensive collection of Blu-ray's lying around, you might be wondering how you can watch them all on your Android tablet, such as Galaxy Tab S4 and Google Pixel C. There's nothing quite like watching a movie whilst travelling or when away from home, and the experience can be even better than playing a physical Blu-ray because movies start instantly on Android OS. The Android tablet is an especially good video playback device due to the large screen size and hi-resolution display. HD (1080p or 720p) movies play brilliantly, and it's possible to transfer quite a number of films to the Android tablet – depending upon the storage capacity you have available. This article describes the basics of how to watch Blu-ray movies on your Android tablet.
Acrok Blu-ray Ripper (Video Converter Ultimate) has a simple interface which makes it a doddle to convert a Blu-ray (Blu-ray disc, Blu-ray ISO, Blu-ray folder). There are lots of built-in presets which are already setup for the target device you want to play on (for example, the iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Mini, Galaxy Tab S4, Microsoft Surface Pro, Asus ZenPad 3S 10, Galaxy S10, LG V50 ThinQ, Nokia PureView and all manner of other multimedia devices). There are also options to manually tweak the output formats and bit-rates (i.e. the quality of the video) and a choice of multimedia formats (such as H.264 and MPEG-4 video, AAC and MP3 audio) to get the optimal settings. For example, you might want to use a higher quality setting if you feel that the presets aren't good enough. Acrok program is also one of the cheaper Blu-ray ripping apps. Once you've copied and converted a Blu-ray, you'll transfer it into your tablet. You can get Acrok Blu-ray Ripper via 30% Off Coupon Code now.
How to rip and convert Blu-ray to Android tablet supported formats?
Insert the Blu-ray disc into an external Blu-ray drive, start the top Blu-ray Ripper on your computer, click "Load disc" icon to load Blu-ray files into the program, apart from Blu-ray disc, you can also use the program to load Blu-ray BDMV folder or ISO image file.
Click "Format", from its drop-down option, select the output MP4 file types according to your own needs. For high quality, it would be idea for you to choose "H.264 Vided(*.mp4)" under "Common Video" main category. For fast conversion speed, "Android 720P Video(*.mp4)" would be the best output options. For playing 1080P movies on Android tablet, you can get this output option under "Android" category.
Tip: Now that you've settled the Android preset, you may also need to choose your encoding settings based on the device(s) on which you plan to view the content. You can tweak every aspect of encoding, change format, bit rate, frames per second etc. You can experiment with these settings in time to see what works best with your media.
Note: If you don't have enough confidence to set parameters, please choose the solution we provide directly.
Start to convert Blu-ray to Android 1080P or 720P video by simply clicking the "Convert" image button. You can sit back and wait for the program to do the conversion work for you. When it's finished, you will be notified with a successfully message. You can tranfsfer the ripped movies to your Android tablet for playing freely.
1. Connect the Android tablet to the computer by using the USB cable.
2. On a PC, if the AutoPlay dialog box appears, choose the option Open Folder/Device to View Files.
3. Open the source and destination folder windows.
4. Drag the file icon(s) from one folder to another to copy.
5. Close the folder windows and disconnect the USB cable when you're done.


Here is a nice way to show off your love of the sport!! Cut this out with your favorite machine, put it on your favorite shirt, hang on the wall, a great design for your theme parties, make cards etc., the possibilities are endless!
YOU DONT NEED A CUTTER TO MAKE THIS INTO A SHIRT/PILLOW etc.....pick up a pack of iron on transfers from your local store (most have them now!), follow the instructions on the package and you will have a great looking item!! Use the JPEG I have included, there is a "regular" one and a mirrored/flipped one.

Carol Rumens
Syntactically complex, discursive, lyrically rich, yet threaded through with a demotic swagger - Gerard Woodward
Share Poet
About Carol Rumens
Carol Rumens, nee Lumley, was born in Forest Hill, South London. She won a scholarship to grammar school, and later studied Philosophy at London University, but left before completing her degree. She later gained a Postgraduate Diploma in Writing for the Stage from City College Manchester. She has taught at the University of Kent at Canterbury, Queen's University Belfast, University College Cork, University of Stockholm, and the University of Hull; she is currently Visiting Professor in Creative Writing at the Universities of Hull and Bangor. She has held the position of Poetry Editor for the publisher Quarto, and for the Literary Review, and she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1984.
The author of fourteen collections of poems, as well as occasional fiction, drama and translation, Rumens has received the Cholmondeley Award and the Prudence Farmer Prize for her poetry, and was joint recipient of an Alice Hunt Bartlett Award. In 2007 Bloodaxe published a collection of her lectures on poetry, Self into Song, originally delivered in the Bloodaxe-Newcastle University Lecture Series. Her work has appeared regularly in publications such as The Guardian and Harper's, and she currently writes the hugely popular 'Poem of the Week' feature for The Guardian. Her most recent poetry collection is De Chirico's Threads (2010), published by Seren.
Rumens, while permanently based in London, has taught Creative Writing in various parts of the UK, most extensively in Belfast and Bangor, North Wales. She has a particular interest in the literary cultures of Central and Eastern Europe. One of her early inspirations was the work of Philip Larkin; she too emphasises 'the importance of elsewhere' in the writing of poetry – finding in foreign customs, cultures and languages the sites for her poetic development. Rumens's engagement with the poetry of Russia has extended to an on-going investment in translation: she has published translations of many Russian poets, contributing to collections such as Pencil Letter by Irina Ratushinskaya (1988), The Poetry of Perestroika (1990), and Yevgenii Rein: Selected Poems (2001). Although the subjects of her own poetry are often unapologetically those of femininity and the domains of domesticity (Anne Stevenson has described her as a writer 'who retains her feminine voice but extends her sympathies beyond feminism'), Larkin is a felt presence, particularly in Rumens's early work, though never an overpowering influence; it is rather in the spareness and precision of her imagery, as well as in her sudden, tonal drops to the demotic, that readers can sense his echo – a debt described by Rumens as 'musical'. It is arguable that her pairing of a strain of British formalism with a spaciousness and energy more reminiscent of European tradition has become the hallmark of Rumens's poetic output. The proximity of history is also experienced with a power that remains unusual in UK poetry, notably in her sequence 'Outside Oswiecim' (1985), which John Greening described in the Times Literary Supplement as Rumens 'tackling the twentieth century's darkest hour […] and doing so with authority'.
In these recordings for The Poetry Archive, Rumens has selected work that best presents her intensely musical use of rhyme and form. 'Rules for Beginners' is a variant sestina, and the repetitions demanded by the form create a weaving of natural speech into a tender, understated narrative of love and nostalgia, set against the backdrop of England in the 1960s. 'The Grandmother's Tale' has a similar eye for the past, and deploys rhyme in a tight-knitted and inventive structure. 'White Night' exhibits this same careful relish of sound, while 'London Stone' imagines her parents' courtship during the blitz in a lasting, songlike poem, and homage to 'the city of her heart'.
Carol Rumens's favourite poetry sayings:
The one who writes a poem writes it above all because verse writing is an extraordinary acceleration of consciousness… Having experienced this acceleration once, one is no longer capable of abandoning the chance to repeat this experience; one falls into dependency, the way others fall into dependency on drugs or alcohol. One who finds himself in this sort of dependency on language is, I suppose, a poet. – Joseph Brodsky, tr. Barry Rubin
This recording was made for The Poetry Archive on 9 January 2012 at The Soundhouse and was produced by Anne Rosenfeld.

Designing lights on stage is not just designing looks for each moment, but determining how lighting changes over time. At which moments do we choose to change it, and what triggers those changes? When do we choose not to change it at all? Students will learn how lighting emotionally affects us in real life, and how we interpret that emotional effect and transfer it to the stage. Students will present research, minimal drafting, and sketches, and learn how to discuss lighting in real life productions. It is structured for both introductory students, and those with previous coursework / experience.
