A model bank and directory that is fully compliant with Open Banking and PSD2.
The transformation of banking services is setting a new trajectory for a hyper relevant target – personalised wealth management. Two ground-breaking pieces of legislation, PSD2 and GDPR, are causing a shift in the mental model for all who engage in designing the methods of high value, trusted digital engagement in Financial Services.
Open Banking is changing the way banks do business in the United Kingdom forever and as with any good regulation, there's plenty of testing and requirements involved as well. Late last year, ForgeRock was selected by the Open Banking Implementation Entity to provide a Reference Bank Application to support leading banks, fintechs, and other third parties as they work to comply with Open Banking.
ForgeRock held the first ever Open Banking Hackathon, back in Fall 2018. Teams of developers came together looking to build cool applications based on the Open Banking APIs, using a sandbox with a modern directory and reference bank implementation.
The winning team will showcase their work at the upcoming Identity Live Summit in London.
Our identity and access management (IAM) platform manages billions of digital identities on new cloud, mobile, and IoT services.


The works of WAALM are dedicated towards the fostering of dialogue and understanding between civilizations (see for example WAALM's Empower Africa Conference in April 7-10, 2010).
The Simin Bari project and its awards are celebrated in the Turkish press.
The Simin Bari project is part of WAALM's endeavour for Cultural Diplomacy, by facilitating the artistic works in a duet by Iranian Meastro Sattar and Young Turkish Rising Star Ersin Faikzade. The duet is the song "Simin Bari" which is sung in Turkish and Persian.
Sattar and Ersin Faikzade singing Simin Bari in Turkish and Persian (Facilitated and Co-produced by WAALM). This is part of WAALM's initiative to re-awaken the awareness of the strong and long-standing Turco-Iranian cultural ties known as the Turco-Iranian or Persianate civilization. Note that the video is also under post-production.
WAALM-School of Cultural Diplomacy works towards the promotion of cultural diplomacy through courses that emphasize cultural links and historical ties that transcend modern-day national and/or political boundaries. There are strong ties for example between the Persianate or Turco-Iranian civilization and those of Europe, Asia and the Indian subcontinent and the Islamic realms. WAALM's Curricula tend to emphasize the exploration and analyses of such links to propel learners towards the appreciation of world civilization as a single evolving entity composed of its various interdependent cultural and historical entities.
Sattar (left) and Ersin Faikzade (right) have lent their exemplary creativity and musical talents towards the initiative to re-awaken the long-standing and powerful cultural bonds between the Iranians and the Turks.
WAALM's project for the promotion of cross-cultural dialogue through the promotion of Persianate or Turco-Persian civilization is consistent with the Iranian Studies initiative of the University of British Columbia's Asian Studies program which shares the vision of Persianate civilizations transcending nationality and race.
Long recognized as a leader in teaching and research on Asia, UBC has recently reaffirmed its commitment to Asia in its new strategic plan, Place and Promise. To date, UBC's commitment to engagement with Asia has focused primarily on East and South Asia, and indeed, the Chinese and Indic cultural spheres are well represented in the Faculty of Arts—especially so in the department of Asian Studies.
But if Chinese language and civilization have been paramount in East Asia for the past two millennia, and Sanskrit language and literary culture similarly important in South Asia, Persian language and civilization have been equally central to the history of Western, Central and South Asia for roughly the same period of time.
Recognizing the key role of Persianate civilization in the history of Asia, UBC now wishes to take the first steps toward developing academic resources around the language, culture, history and civilization of the Persianate world.
Interested parties are encouraged to contact: Professor Ross King (Chair of the UBC Asian Studies Department) at jrpking@interchange.ubc.ca or Emily Williams (Development Officer, Faculty of Arts, UBC) at ewilliams@exchange.ubc.ca.

Dr. Ayvazyan is in fact the author of several monographs, book chapters, and many articles in Armenian and international journals.
Dr. Armen Ayvazyan in Lyons, France. He was a recipient of an International Security Studies grant provided by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, working in affiliation with the Program on the Analysis and Resolution of Conflicts, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University (1995). During the 1997-1998 academic year, he was a Visiting Senior Fulbright Scholar, affiliated with the Center for Russian and East European Studies, Stanford University, USA. He was a Visiting Alexander S. Onassis Foundation Fellow at ELIAMEP, Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (2000-2001, Athens).
Dr. Ayvazyan's recent textbook on Armenian military history has also referred to Kaveh Farrokh's first text entitled Sassanian Elite Cavalry AD 224-651 –اسواران ساسانی– in reference to the importance and honor granted by the Sassanian dynasty's military to Armenian knights in the prestigious ranks of the Sassanian elite knights or Savaran (or Asvaran).

Portfolios have the capacity to package student learning in ways that direct and support metacognitive thinking; when students habitually consider how they best learn and why, and practice communicating their understanding, they are better able to employ their own set of "best practices" as learners. Chappuis, Stiggins, Chappuis and Arter (2012) support this reasoning by telling us that "Collecting, organizing, and reflecting on their own work builds students' understanding of themselves as learners and nurtures a sense of accomplishment" (p. 364) However, it is not enough to merely collect student work in an undifferentiated folder; this is what Chappuis et. al. (2012) refers to as a working folder. Instead, students must be lead through the process of reviewing, sorting, selecting and deconstructing tangible evidence of their learning to gain insight.
While this is a tall order, Figure 11.2 Portfolio Decision Flow (p. 366) provides a seven-step progression that leads educators and in-turn, students, through this process. I think it will be helpful for me to examine my past experience and practices with portfolios using these guidelines; this will provide direction for a more effective means to create portfolios that "…offer a rich and detailed view of their subject's characteristics or qualities" (Chappuis et. al, 2012, p. 364).
1) What kind(s) of portfolios will we assemble? What story do we want to tell?
Given Chappuis et. al. (2012) description of portfolios, I believe that ours were a combination of growth and celebration portfolios. Students were encouraged to select items that they were proud to share as well as items that demonstrated a continuum of development in proficiency, whether it be mathematics, language arts or another content area.
Now: I want students' portfolios to tell their unique story; their struggles, triumphs, leaps forward and steps back; this would be best in a growth portfolio. I can envision creating a project portfolio that documents a students' search to gather, analyze and synthesize information on a point of inquiry using the I-Search process. Achievement portfolios could be useful for conferences and would contain the most recent documentation of student achievement leading up to conferences; this would be an excellent catalyst for personal goal setting. Competence portfolios are a bit more difficult for me to imagine at the middle school level, but perhaps this could be an end-of-year body of evidence demonstrating proficiency, for example, in Six Traits Writing. Celebration portfolios definitely have their place in any classroom; sometimes students just don't have an opportunity to focus on their strengths. Or, maybe they need help identifying just what it is that they're really good at, or proud of. A portfolio of this nature would be about building resilience and good memories.
2) Which learning target(s) will be the focus of our portfolios?
Then: An explicit correlation to learning targets (standards) was not the defining role of student portfolios at this school. Teachers were told, by our Primary Years Program (PYP) coordinator, that we were to have students select artifacts, around three, from each of the content areas; mathematics, language arts, units of inquiry, art, PE, music and Mongolian language to place in the portfolio. We were to encourage students to select items that were a good reflection of their growth in these subjects throughout the year. I would typically set-aside a day here and there, as I found time, to work on collection of artifacts and self-reflection. It was by no means a deliberate part of my teaching.
Now: It is clear to me that nearly everything that happens in a classrooms must eventually come back around to the learning targets that are based on standards. This must guide the written, taught and assessed curriculum; without this roadmap, learning occurs in disconnected bits and bobs and can never truly reach its' fullest potential. Depending upon the purpose of the portfolio, and hence, the kind of portfolio, I could conceivably include disposition targets as well. However, I would only do this if I had explicitly included disposition targets as part of my taught curriculum; they may not be assessed, but there is still value in reflecting upon the interaction between disposition and achievement.
3) Based on purpose and target(s), which pieces of evidence will we include? What are our guidelines for inclusion? How will we ensure a representative sample of student work?
Then: Students were given somewhat of a free rein to sort through their work (kept in content-specific folders for this purpose) to choose what they considered appropriate examples of their learning continuum. I circulated throughout the room providing feedback and answering questions. Some students were quite diligent selecting pieces of work that demonstrated development towards proficiency, others were not a discerning. Specialist teachers, and myself, included some mandatory pieces; for example, work from our Exhibition unit was always included in the final portfolio.
Now: I think that I would use more peer support in determining appropriate evidence to include in portfolios; I have found that most students tend to be honest in kind ways and will help their peers get it right without hurting feelings. However, this type of discussion requires a delicacy and tact that younger students (thinking about my Grade 6) would benefit from being explicitly taught; my older students always benefit from a gentle reminder. To ensure a representative sample of student work, I think that I would have to be involved in the selection of work as well. There may be some formative or summative assessment items that would be required. I would also make sure that portfolio work would be an integral part of the curriculum with intentional planning of time and opportunities for self-reflection to occur.
4) What kinds of annotations will students make on each piece?
Then: This is an example of the types of self-reflective prompts provided to my Grade 5 students. Many students chose to use these prompts while others chose to structure their own free-write thinking dependent upon their enthusiasm for a particular artifact.
Now: Prompts would be targeted to specific learning targets that would be student friendly versions of our standards. I would have to be organized in providing a running list of learning targets for students, or I could post them on the class website, for use during portfolio artifact selection and reflection.
5) What kinds of reflection on the overall contents will students engage in?
Then: None! There was no synthesizing narrative written or oral presentation given.
Now: I can see that a final metacognitive reflection on the various component parts of a students' portfolio would bring a higher level of understanding to their process as a learner. I can't believe that I hadn't thought of this before. I can't change the past, but I can make sure this happens in the future.
6) When and with whom will we share the portfolios?
Then: Students shared their Portfolios with their parents, during student-led conferences towards the last quarter of the school year. This was a long and tedious process, even though students practiced talking about their artifacts with a partner a few times before conferences. I think the quantity of artifacts detracted from the story that was trying to be told, and both students and parents were overwhelmed.
Now: Again, the answer to this question is very much tied to the purpose of the portfolio. Since I can imagine useful application of each kind of portfolio, parents, the school community at-large, and the student themselves would all benefit from the insights present in this work.
7) How will we organize the materials?
Then: Students created a table of contents with content area and artifact name. This seemed to work fairly well, except the portfolio itself contained static, clear sleeves; they were not in a binder that could be opened and closed to try-out different configurations. Instead, if a piece for language arts had to be put into the portfolio and there wasn't an empty slot in the language arts section, then everything to the left or right had to be removed and moved over. It was beyond tedious.
Now: I like the idea of clear sleeves to keep work safe and clean, but I would definitely be a proponent of three-ring binders and removable sleeves! Better yet, I would prefer a totally digital portfolio. I would have to train students in the use of a digital classroom camera and storage of artifacts, but this expectation of archiving work could be taught at the beginning of the year with frequent reteaches. This would truly create a sense of responsibility and ownership for students as they become the architects of their portfolio.
Everyone knows someone that is a master storyteller. Timing, inflection, pacing, and eye contact all play a role in conveying a good story; they have the power to inspire or the power to soothe. It is the delivery that evokes tangible and provocative reaction; it is through the good telling of a story (not telling a good story) that captures our imagination and takes us place we never knew we yearned for. I want my students' portfolios to take them, and those that they share them with, on a journey filled with struggle and hope, setbacks and comebacks, and eventual self-discovery. It is through the transparent telling of our own stories that we learn who we are and communicate who we want to be. This self-aware, and reflective learning is what I want for my students.

Just when I think that we are winding down, you take something on a really great walk… this blog could serve as the basis for talking about portfolios with fellow teachers and administrators. You set this up in a way that really shows your growth in both concept and disposition. I agree that the digital portfolios will be great when students can run them, and it is surprizing how adept they will be. My son has been using an online art portfolio for several years for his crazy drawings. He loves it. He'd be really happy to show his friends how to use the site. All it takes are a few experts, and things start really moving. It's crazy how fast kids adapt to ipads, and that is a tool well suited for students to use in efolio production.

DrDoyenne over at Women in Wetlands has noted over the years how often the students comment on the lack of female role models in science... and how difficult it is for them to name famous female scientists and their contribution to science on the spot. She points to a survey that reported 65% of Americans polled could not name a single female scientist. I find that statistic disheartening. Let's hope that the 2009 Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Medicine & Physiology drop that number. DrDoyenne recently highlighted what I consider a gem providing a glimmer of hope. The Library of Congress has posted a reading list of biographies of women scientists.
A small gripe is that it's listed "For Girls and Young Women". Now I think we should be doing things to get girls interested in science, to show them that it's not just the playground of boys. But I also think it's just as important for the boys to know that women do science too. So, Library of Congress, why don't we just leave it at "Biographies of Women Scientists: For Students"?
Aside from that, it's nice to see the collection. So kudos and thanks for making the list, Library!
I realized as I was making my list, though, that I very well might not know them if I wasn't in science. And it also occurred to me just how few female scientists I've ever seen on television--whether getting kids interested in science (like Bill Nye) or talking about their science on a show like NOVA. Do I simply have selective memory? Have I not watched enough of these shows? Or do female scientists--for one reason or another--tend to stay in the background, away from the limelight?
In the end, I suppose, it didn't make a difference that I didn't know about women scientists as a kid. I had a strong female role model in my mother. She went after what she wanted and didn't take nonsense off anyone; I inherited that "don't tell me what I can't do" mentality. As an undergrad, there were 3 female professors in my department with about 12 profs, and I had strong encouragement from male scientists I worked with or took classes with. Even my male high school chemistry teacher in a tiny town in the rural Southeast suggested that I consider a career in chemistry (although I didn't decide on that route until much later).
Maybe it didn't matter for me, but it could make a huge difference for others.
Rosalind Franklin, Barbara McClintock, Marie Curie, That lady that just won the nobel, Blackburn? (This is what popped into my head after reading your first sentence :P) But yes, I think very few people understand the amazing contributions of women in science. What can we do to help promote it more?? We should get Joanne more involved here. She's been doing a lot to promote girls in science at UIllinois.
As a side note, in an interview that Carol did with NYT after the Prize she talks about women in science. I think it is worth highlighting that Liz Blackburn started this work as a postdoc with Joe Gall, who won the 2006 Lasker Award for Special Achievement in Medical Science, for both his excellent science and having "been a long-standing champion of women in science".
It is hard to define "famous". I could name more female scientists in my field but don't know that they'd be counted as famous. I suppose I'd consider those who have public exposure-either through history, TV, or awards-as famous. By that definition, we're basically talking Nobel laureates, but the exposure of the general public to those is so fleeting, it perhaps isn't surprising that most people can't name a female scientist.
Hey, thanks for fixing my horrible attempt at commenting!! I just hope that evetually I'll be able to figure out how this new-fangled intertube works.
At the Science Online conference in January 2010, I made a presentation about the characteristics of American science popularizers, meaning people whom my mom would probably know. The only female I could think of was Ms. Frizzle of 'The Magic School Bus', a cartoon 3rd grade teacher!
Some will point out that Kari from the Mythbusters is a female science popularizer, but I contend she is not a scientist by any stretch, and is primarily an accessory to the show. Even G4's new show 'Effin Science' places a non-scientist female as a show host, flanked by two men, neither of whom is a scientist (although one is an engineer).
If TV is the method by which we measure the involvement of women in science, no wonder the viewpoint is very much skewed.
I believe the time has come for women to be seen articulating science by both boys and girls, and the internet will necessarily have to be the place this happens.
I think you're absolutely right on this point. It's important to target girls, to get them interested in science, to show them they really can do it just as well as anyone else. But at some point, there must be an effort to change how society as a whole sees science and the roles of women in science, not just how girls/women perceive science.
Nice post. Funny, but I think I could list a lot more female scientists in my own field, who aren't really famous, than those that might be considered famous (aside from Rosalind Franklin and Marie Curie). And I never had much of a female role model until I was in graduate school. My mom talked quite a bit about how she was pushed out of research in college, however...not that she regretted going into teaching (math and science, of course), but she always said she'd hope it would be different for me.
I think this kind of exposure definitely starts at home, no matter what the parents do. Even if they don't know a lick of science, exposing their daughters (and sons) to science (and female scientists) early on in their childhood is probably the best "cure" for the dearth of female role models in science. This might also be the hardest tactic to achieve, but the internet would be a great medium if it could be targeted to parents.
I blogged about this once. Even more rare are FEMALE MOTHERS Scientists. You can never name of those..
One of the commenters pointed out the Women Scientists on CSI (they run PCR and Mass Spec don't they?), and there are female grad students on Big Bang Theory, and Abby Sciutto on NCIS. Not a huge selection, but more than say, 1980s primetime.
Biochem belle, I followed your comment from disgruntled Julie's place. Very nice post! Let me add, off the top of my head, Millie Dresselhaus (MIT, carbon nanotubes, thermelectrics), Emmy Noether (quantum field theory), Lisa Randall (Harvard, string theory).
I just saw your tweet that mentions you dislike the "hard STEM" vs "soft STEM" distinction. I always thought "soft" vs "hard" STEM simply implies bio-related vs not bio-related, that's all. I don't think anyone thinks bio-related fields are easy; in most ways bio systems are much more complex than any systems dealt with by a typical "hard STEM" person (e.g. electrical or mechnaical engineers). I certainly never imply anything derogatroy when I use these terms, but perhaps another designation should be used... Perhaps simply bio vs non-bio, or something similar?
GMP, thanks for commenting. Regarding "hard" vs. "soft" STEM disciplines, I realize that the general idea is to distinguish physical/computer sciences from psych/biomed sciences-maybe that has something to do with terminology, hard machines vs. squishy organisms? But there's also a significant amount of elitism in science (from all sides and aspects), and I think such distinctions, with terminolgy that can carry such connotations, is one way it manifests itself. Add to this, we've moved into an era where it's increasingly difficult to fully separate fields, and even within "hard" and "soft" STEM, there are immense differences-in funding, publishing, approaches, everything. So I guess, to me at least, the terminology is fuzzy at best.

The Supreme Court of the United States: Month 2
Milliken v Bradley 1974. School Segregation in Chicago: Dyett Strike!
Closing Reception: June 28, 7pm -10pm: Film: With All Deliberate Speed.
This 2004 documentary examines, via newsreel footage and interviews, the contentious historical events that led to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. It also looks at the ways in which many Americans fought to oppose the end of racial segregation, and at integration's messy aftermath.
In the second month of our shows and discussions about SCOTUS decisions, we look Milliken v Bradley. a forty-five year old decision undermining Brown v Board of Education by reviewing Chicago activists' fight against the closure of Dyett High School. Even in the middle of a school district, segregation can rear its head. The vigilance of the community members and supporters saved Dyett from closing. It did not however birth the green technology school they demanded.
This show features archived materials including community and student created banners, posters, photos, chains from the leaders' occupation of Chicago City Hall, chairs used by the strikers during the long hot summer hunger strike and materials from the strike including banners and posters on loan from Journey for Justice Alliance, Images from Ervin Lopez, Phil Cantor, and Alexy Irving
Milliken v. Bradley began in 1970, when the NAACP sued the state of Michigan to desegregate Detroit's schools. In particular, they wanted a solution that would involve both the city and the suburbs since, by that point, the vast majority of Detroit's residents were black, and meaningful de-segregation within city limits had become almost impossible.
After hours of testimony on redlining, exclusionary zoning, police-sanctioned violence, and other sordid tales of American housing discrimination, the federal judge on the case, Stephen Roth, agreed with the plaintiffs that government "at all levels" bore responsibility for residential segregation. As a result, Roth concluded, the government could not legitimately enforce the school boundaries that residential segregation was designed to exploit."https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/07/24/youve-probably-never-heard-of-one-of-the-worst-supreme-court-decisions/?utm_term=.f2cd1aabf1f8 ;

Q: TeamCity restores nuget package - running too long in restoring the packages I'm trying to use the nuget install plugin for TeamCity but after running, it takes too long in restoring and installing all the packages in my solution.
Can someone help in nuget restore packages in TeamCity?

A: I was researching and solving the same problem. My solution took up to 20 minute(in bad times) to resolve all NuGet packages. Here is what I had found:

*

*TeamCity doesn't use the nuget cache because they reassign the env variable for the directory where they keep resolved packages. The details about this you can find on here https://teamcity-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000160524/comments/360000087900
And here is the reason why they do it https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/4277

*I'm not sure why but the version NuGet that provided by TeamCity v3.5, v4.6 proceed with restore operation slower than other versions.

What I did:

*

*In my case I've added the override of the env.NUGET_PACKAGES to the home Agent directory (%teamcity.agent.home.dir%/nuget-cache) in my
TeamCity project. That made restore stable not more than 10 minutes. Be careful because the work and temp directory might be cleared by TeamCity Agent and your cache will not be stable.

*I've added the latest stable version of the NuGet.exe file (v5.8.1 in my case) https://www.nuget.org/downloads. Then I'd chosen the Custom option for NuGet Install step in TeamCity (NuGet.exe select box) and set the path to my NuGet.exe file in the solution.

After both of these steps, NuGet restore takes up to 1.5 minutes for my solution and this is ok for me.

Flyers are an incredibly useful and cheap form of marketing, which makes them perfect for a range of occasions. But did you know that you could be putting customers off, with nothing more than the design?
Here's five things which are guaranteed to turn customers away.
When it comes to writing out flyers for your event, it can be tempting to try and fill it with as much information as possible. However, many people just want to look at a flyer and know the basics – Who, what, when and where? So make sure you have your company's name and the name of the event, the address of the venue and the time and date of the event. Add in some contact info, just in case anyone needs to get in touch and you're done! Seriously. That's all you really need.
Okay, so you've got your basic information and you want a fancy, eye-catching font to spruce things up. But be careful. Make sure that the font you choose is easily read. It's no use if the flyer looks fantastic but people can't read the vital information it contains. The safest thing to do is to stick to simple fonts that are easily read such as Arial, Times New Roman or Calibri.
Similar to point number two, this point relates to how a potential customer reads your flyer. If the colour of the font is too pale – or can barely be seen against the background image/colour – then they won't be able to read all the details. Avoid colours like yellow, grey and green. Instead think about blacks, reds, blues and (depending on the background) white.
Being able to spell and use proper English may not seem like a big deal, but it really is. Not only will it get those fussy grammar Nazis off your back, but it also makes you look professional. Yep. Spelling is a big deal. So make sure you proof read any material before sending it to the printers. In fact, proof read it several times, get someone else to proof read it. You can never check it too many times.
This is very similar to our first point about cramming in too much information. Likewise, you don't want to cram in too many design details either. You don't need to fill every last inch of the flyer. Sometimes, less is more. If you hand out a flyer that is too cluttered, it could put potential customers off, and will result in more of your flyers ending up in the bin.
There you have it folks. Our top 5 mistakes that people make when designing flyers. Avoid these and you can be sure that your flyer will not only look attractive, but will also gain a lot more attention.


I know, I was too. Just adding to the sarcasm.
Got the update a day or two ago. Nothing special, IMO. But I don't use my watch for anything other than being a watch, and as a fitness tracker.
The Google Fit app as changed a bit, don't you agree?
Don't use it, I use other apps. Those apps sync their data to it, but I don't ever use it on my watch.
I'll admit I wish we could do something else with the swipe left/right and other customizations. But Google always starts out trying to be Apple, then eventually remembers Google is about giving the user more options/choices rather than a one-size-fits-all user experience.
I have to admit that another thing I noticed is that animations and navigation through the menus has gotten smoother, which is a good thing. Battery life is the same, so nothing to complain there.
I haven't been tracking my battery life with official stats or anything, but it looks like it is a little better with this Wear OS 2.0 update. It still makes it from around 6 AM to 10 PM on one charge, so that's all I care about. But it does seem like there is a little more in the evening than before. I'm just happy that my battery life didn't take a dive, I was concerned about that.
Seems about the same, maybe a little better. But definitely not any worse.
I upgraded phones and necessarily had to reset my watch. Now I'm back at an earlier version of the OS and being told I'm on the most current version.
Any good ideas for how to force an update?
That's strange. I would've thought resetting the watch would reset it to the most current version of the software installed.
No good idea that we've found. You could try uninstalling & reinstalling the Wear OS app on the watch.
Go figure, I uninstalled and reinstalled Wear on my phone with no apparent effect. Left my watch on the charger overnight, and this morning it had the update ready for me.
It's surprising to me that the update apparently doesn't stick around if you reset the watch, but at least I got it back.


All marble and old ivy out of reach.
"What answer does he want in number six?"
Lectures descend on unreceptive ears. . . .

The first run of No Exit signed by Sartre.
Become something we hadn't time to do.
To major highways, policed by graded rules.
At such bleak judgement of the ancient rite.
The goal of life is bringing things to bear.

Josh Barnett welcomes UFC import, thinks Cormier will stop Mir in the second
A new door opened, at least in theory, to Strikeforce fighters this past week when ex-UFC champ Frank Mir was exported to fight Daniel Cormier in October. While Cormier's engagement is frequently billed as the last in the Strikeforce heavyweight division before being folded, the man he defeated to win the promotion's heavyweight grand prix title also is owed a fight. That man, Josh Barnett, is one of the more marketable fighters in the division despite a recent loss to Cormier. As quick with submissions as he is in interviews, he would be a welcome addition to the UFC.

Cain Velasquez 'wondering what the hold up is' with Junior dos Santos rematch
(mmamania.com)
"Right now, I'm just getting ready and waiting for a date. We don't really know what's going on with the dos Santos thing. The speculation that I was hurt -- I got an x-ray to show people that I'm not. There's speculation that he's hurt, maybe. I dunno what's going on. I'm just getting ready and waiting for a date for me and him to fight." Since these two big-time heavyweights threw down the first time, Velasquez has been able to re-think his strategy and what he did wrong in defeat: "The thing with the last fight and this one, this time, what we're gonna do different is actually attack him and actually fight him. We didn't do that last time. I didn't do what I was supposed to do, with the gameplan, and I definitely paid for it. I'm not making the mistake again with him." He definitely feels like he'll have a better strategy going into his second go-round, but he's still not over the initial setback. According to Velasquez, it's a moment he's re-lived since last November: "It's always playing in my head. He's my one loss, and I wanna go back and avenge it. Just knowing what you did wrong, I mean, I definitely look back at the fight. I just have to learn from it and move on." So, when will this second battle of the behemoths take place? As far as Velasquez is concerned, your guess is just as good as his: "They really haven't said anything as of right now. I was just wondering what the hold up was. They thought that I was hurt, and I went ahead and kinda quieted those things down. I'm just waiting for a date." Some of the speculation that has been bandied about is that the UFC is dragging its feet because they'd prefer to see "Cigano" fight Alistair Overeem when he returns in December. He's heard the chatter, but he feels like he is the name that makes the most sense, because he can be ready as soon as they need him to be: "I think, possibly, if they're waiting for that match-up, but that's in December. I'm ready now."

UFC champ Jon Jones fined $1,000 and license suspended at DWI sentencing
As expected Jon Jones has avoided jail time following his May 19 arrest on a misdemeanor DWI charge. The UFC light-heavyweight champion today was issued a $1,000 fine and six-month license suspension. He also will have ignition interlocks installed on his vehicles, and he needs to complete a victim-impact panel. "Blessed to still have the full support of Broom County/all my fans and my DWI case officially behind me," Jones tweeted soon after the sentencing. "Moving forward." Binghamton (N.Y.)

UFC changes tune, UFC on FOX 4's Bader-Machida winner also possible for title shot
LAS VEGAS – On Monday Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White announced that UFC on FOX 4 headliners Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (20-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) and Brandon Vera (12-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) are competing this weekend for a shot at the promotion's light-heavyweight title. He later told USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that co-headliners Ryan Bader (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) and Lyoto Machida (17-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) also will have that opportunity. "Whoever wins the most impressively on Saturday night gets the shot at the title," White said. White's decision comes after a rash of fan backlash following his original announcement. UFC's social-media-savvy fanbase immediately took to Twitter to protest the decision while citing Rua's recent losses to both current champion Jon Jones and the champ's UFC 151 opponent, Dan Henderson – as well as Vera's current run of just one win in four appearances – as reasons why the bout did not deserve to be considered a No. 1 contender's contest. White said he listened to the complaints, and he's making a change. "I put together the fights that fans want to see," White said. "The fans didn't like the Rua and Vera choice, so here it is: The guy that wins most impressively on Saturday night out of the co-main event and the main event will get the shot at the winner of Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson."

Travis Browne Happy to Trade FOX Exposure for UFC on FX 5 Main Event Role
Travis Browne is an undefeated heavyweight with 11 finishes among his 13 career wins. He's also mammoth, at 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds. Given his success and size, it would seem Browne would be a lock to be one of the most talked-about fighters on the UFC roster, yet he sometimes seems to remain in the shadows of other big men. At UFC 145, he earned a submission win, only to see Ben Rothwell upstage him with a 61-second knockout of Brendan Schaub. At UFC 135, he outlasted the durable Rob Broughton, but Mark Hunt earned the spotlight by continuing his career resurgence. And at UFC 130, he flattened prospect Stefan Struve, a result that was at least slightly overshadowed by the high-profile beating Frank Mir laid on Roy Nelson. August 4's UFC on FOX 4 was supposed to be Browne's turn, matched against Rothwell in the key heavyweight fight of the night, on network TV. Browne was set to have his showcase in front of an audience of millions. Unfortunately for him, Rothwell injured his ankle and was removed from the fight. Instead, he's been relocated to the October UFC on FX 5 main event with Antonio Silva, and despite the lost opportunity, Browne sees the change as a net positive.

On a recent edition of The MMA Hour, Seagal heard about critical remarks from Phan, who will fight Cole Miller on the Fuel TV portion of the UFC on FOX card at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. "Never heard of him," Seagal told MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani. "Nam Fran? Is he an American guy? I don't know who this guy is and I don't really care." On Monday's MMA Hour, the Vietnamese-American fighter who already has made a name for himself with MMA fans had a reply for the past-his-prime actor. "You know what, I'm not the most famous fighter," Phan said. "But, whatever, I still think he's a douche."

Title Shot Within His Grasp, Brandon Vera No Longer Considers Jon Jones a "Punk"
UFC president Dana White recently stated that Saturday's UFC on Fox 4 in Los Angeles would determine the next light heavyweight contender, but on Monday, he narrowed the field down to just Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and, somewhat surprisingly, Brandon Vera. Rua and Vera are the headliners of Saturday's event at the Staples Center. Initially, co-main event fighters Lyoto Machida and Ryan Bader were part of the equation, but that is no longer the case. "The winner of Vera and Rua gets the shot," White stated on Monday's UFC on Fox 4 conference call with the media. With Rua, Machida and Bader all entrenched amongst the Top 10 light heavyweights in the world, none would be a surprise when considering who gets the winner of Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson at UFC 151 in September, but Vera's name came as a tremendous surprise to fans and pundits alike.
UFC on FOX 4's Machida not upset with headliner's title stakes, open to 'TUF' coaching
Ex-champ Lyoto Machida is keeping an open mind about where he is in the UFC's light-heavyweight division. And after hearing that the winner of Saturday's UFC on FOX 4 headliner – Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Brandon Vera – will get the next shot at the UFC light-heavyweight title, can you blame him? "Really, anything can happen," Machida told MMAjunkie.com. "Obviously, I'm trying to train as hard as I can and put on a good fight, and I try to trace a way back to the title. But that's not really what I'm focused on right now."
IMMAF representatives take part in International Olympic Committee seminars
MMA is still years away from serious consideration as an Olympic sport, but the recently formed IMMAF is already beginning to make its presence known with the International Olympic Committee. IMMAF officials today took part in the first of several planned seminars aimed at studying martial arts and sports not currently included in the Olympics, and the group hopes to educate IOC officials during the meetings. "We are very grateful for this opportunity to promote MMA in front of the IOC and other fellow sports federations," IMMAF official Erika Mattsson told MMAjunkie.com.
League president considering Invicta FC 3 elimination tourney for title shot
There were many surprises for Invicta FC president Shannon Knapp before, during and after the promotion's second event, Invicta FC 2, this past weekend. There were 100,000 people waiting in the queue to watch the live Internet stream 30 minutes before the fights got underway. There was a server crash that forced her backstage in a panic mid-event. There was the Invicta name trending on Twitter long after the last punch was thrown. But a surprise as welcome as any was how the fights turned out.
Dana White: UFC's Alexander Gustafsson on deck for 'big fight'
It'd be easy to consider Alexander Gustafsson the odd man out. Especially after UFC president Dana White today surprisingly confirmed the winner of Saturday's UFC on FOX 4 headliner between Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Brandon Vera is next in line for a light-heavyweight title shot. But that doesn't mean Gustafsson is the forgotten contender of the division.
Jon Fitch vs. Erick Silva Set for UFC 153
Jon Fitch will draw one of the UFC's top young guns in his next outing. The longtime welterweight contender is set to square off with Brazilian Erick Silva at UFC 153, MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani has learned. Sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed the two had verbally agreed to the pairing. Fitch was supposed to face Aaron Simpson in July, only to be forced out after suffering a knee injury. The setback apparently won't keep him on the shelf long. Upon returning, Fitch will be attempting to win for the first time in three fights. At UFC 127, he fought to a draw with B.J. Penn, and in his follow-up match at UFC 141, he was knocked out by Johny Hendricks, marking the first time he had been finished since 2002.

However, as this is a new venture, what we have decided to do in order to build this into our grand idea is to first allow normal individuals, like you or me, to sell off their shoes and for other normal people to buy them, much like any buy & sell forum. (When I say at first, I don't mean that it will every stop). A shoe company will only be enticed to set up shop on this Marketplace when they see it thriving with other people taking part. That being, we need lots of people to start taking part to make this a place where anyone can find a great deal and certainly something that will entice them, not only to buy but to keep coming back. The more people that join by listing their shoes, the more people that come to buy, the more traffic the Marketplace has, all equates to the more likely some English, Italian or Japanese shoe brand that everyone wants will be enticed to list off those 50 pairs they have had sitting in their factory that they just can't seem to get rid of and list them at a great price!
Can you see our vision? Once we get the brands on board, it will be a great place to find things you wouldn't otherwise find by simply entering a shop. It will be like an online sample sale at all times!
I am going to start this off by listing 15 or so pairs of my own shoes to show you that this is a safe, trustworthy and easy site to buy and sell from. We have built a relatively foolproof system that anyone can take part in and do so quite easily. So allow me to explain what is required to be a purchaser and a vendor.
1. To be a purchaser, you simply need a regular Paypal account. This is the only thing required and of course to set up an account with the Marketplace. But this is easy and is the standard when joining any buy and sell forum.
2. To be a seller is not difficult but slightly more involved.
–To ensure more safety and security for all, one must register a business account with Paypal. THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEED TO OWN A BUSINESS. It is just a business account that makes it more secure for both sellers and the buyers.
–Setting up a new product takes about 2 minutes. Everything is pretty much listed there for you with drop down boxes. Simply select and click, upload your images and write as much description you want.
–We take a 5% cut on all transactions. This comes directly out of your sale and the rest goes straight into your Paypal account.
–You can set up shipping prices by continent and within each continent can dictate prices on individual countries too if you want to have separate charges for each country.
There are some slight drawbacks though that I want to discuss, for both vendors and purchasers.
Multiple products cannot be added to the cart. This is for several reasons. One because vendors could be different. Two, to prevent fraud. The way to get around this for example if you want to buy multiple shoes from one vendor is to simply send a message to the vendor from one of their product pages. You will find a message box at the bottom of the page (see screenshot). From here, the vendor can make a custom price on both the product and the shipping.
Alternatively, you can make refunds to orders after the fact. So if you sell 3 pairs of shoes and 3x shipping prices, and want to offer some refunds on the shipping, you can always do that after the orders have been made.
I am sure that there will be more questions that I might have missed but hopefully you all find this to be a useful venue for finding things you wouldn't elsewhere and also have a new place to sell of your shoes, with a target audience catered to being interested in shoes as this will be consistently marketed by The Shoe Snob Blog.
See below the pairs that I am selling off, one Gaziano & Girling included.

Hillary Clinton has a new memoir called What Happened, in which she explains why she thinks she lost the election to Donald Trump. At City Journal, Dalrymple quotes from an acerbic review of the book by a French intellectual. He won't review it himself, he says, because nothing could induce him to read it.
In fact, no memoir by any modern politician would tempt me to read it, since the main characteristic of such politicians is mediocrity tempered by unbridled ambition and lust for power. Better to reread Macbeth. Hillary Clinton, after all, is Lady Macbeth to Bill Clinton's Felix Krull, the confidence trickster.

In praise of ... Ruth Wilson
Theatre critics have been left breathless by the actor's performance in the Donmar production of Anna Christie
Mon 15 Aug 2011 16.48 EDT First published on Mon 15 Aug 2011 16.48 EDT
It is only six years since she graduated from drama school. But she has established herself on stage, television and film as an outstanding talent in a very talented generation. She has a face that flits from luminous to plain, and a mouth whose long upper lip gives her the mobility of expression she exploits so dangerously. The critics are breathless. Last week in her latest role, as the eponymous Anna Christie in the Donmar production of the Eugene O'Neill play, Ruth Wilson won warm reviews that singled out her "languorous cadences" and her "toughness and vulnerability" – a hint at her ability to convey lightening mood changes without jeopardising the utter authenticity of her character as a woman heartlessly abused but not yet broken. Remarkably, Anna Christie is only her fourth professional stage role: she scored an equal triumph as a woman descending into madness at the Almeida last year in Through a Glass Darkly , and the year before in her debut at the Donmar in A Streetcar Named Desire, where she picked up an Olivier as best supporting actress. On stage, she is easily as powerful as the big names she appears alongside (Jude Law in Anna Christie, Rachel Weisz in Streetcar). She seems to thrive on the complex and the gritty. But as Jane Eyre on the BBC in 2006 she did stillness and gravity along with endurance. She does funny, too: see her first TV role, Suburban Shootout, and watch how today's feisty has its origins in earlier cocky. A courageous, edgy and compelling talent.


Y'all noticed that the upcoming Carmageddon port for iPad/Android features improved textures for the vehicles and parts of the environments. Actually these textures come from the Gizmondo version.
I already ripped some, they are available in the RR gallery.
I had planned to use them for Gourmet Carmageddon, but the C1 palette damages them too much. I'll probably use them anyway but not like that.
Looks great! Would be awesome to use these textures to create a C1 remake in C2, it would be rather redundant though.
All the textures are up now. Just check the Gizmondo gallery.
And you can download the update here.

The Bundian Way is a pathway proposed by the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council of Eden, NSW, which mirrors an aboriginal trading route. The proposed route stretches 227 miles (365 km) from the rough terrain of Kosciusko, all the way to the coastal waters of Eden. Although the historical trail is not officially marked throughout, the Bundian Way attempts to provide visitors with an accurate historical insight of aboriginal heritage, educating travelers both foreign and domestic, while boosting tourism within South Eastern Australia. The Bundian Way was approved for survey on foot in 2010 through funding from the National Indigenous Heritage Program. Now the entire track has been recorded by GPS. Despite the significant length of this track, the Bundian Way is only a small part of the larger network of Aborignal pathways that cover Australia.
From March until mid-May of 2015, I researched and worked in the field collecting data and photographing locations that I felt conveyed the importance of this culturally significant landscape. Undertaking such a large assignment was incredibly challenging and I knew that having an outsider approach would produce many obstacles. As a foreigner in an unfamiliar land, I found the lack of accessibility and knowledge of the region left me reeling for answers. A disconnect between myself and the comprehension of this land became largely apparent as time went on. However, I found that by focusing on silent moments within the landscape allowed me to bridge those gaps. There are familiar moments within this series that all of humanity can relate to, an essence of naturalism that needs little or no explanation. This body of work gravitates around the outsiders' point of view and translates the unfamiliar into understanding—both of the past and the present.

Once Upon a Time… – I Walked With a Zombie (1943)
By The Telltale Mind on January 28, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )
Despite its somewhat ominous title, I Walked With a Zombie, for the most part, is really quite beautiful. A strange thing to say perhaps when talking about a horror film, but this one happens to be quite light on that particular aspect and focuses more on atmosphere than really scaring its audience. Of all the collaborations between Jacques Tourneur and Val Lewton, this one is probably the best for the simple fact that it was something completely unexpected and executed to perfection. That is not to say that it is not an eerie film, there are many moments that will start to make the viewer feel uneasy such as the voodoo drums in the distance, the strange crying which Betsy is forced to investigate and more and that moody atmosphere, that horror is subtle and even elegant in its presentation.
Written by Universal mainstay Curt Siodmak and Ardel Wray, history says that Lewton wanted it to follow Jane Eyre in story and structure and thus the film begins in narration from Betsy, the main character's point of view. Betsy, as played by Francis Dee, is a nurse from Canada who has come to Saint Sebastian to care for a woman named Jessica who has a very strange malady that leaves her in a zombie-like state. She is soon introduced to Jessica's husband Paul and his half-brother Wesley. Over the course of the film, many things are tried to cure Jessica of what afflicts her including voodoo which is practiced by the locals and all the while as Betsy starts to fall in love with Paul. Some things are not meant to be cured though and Jessica's final fate soon becomes just that.
The production is quite astounding when you think of how the film was made essentially without any money. The budgets were so small for Lewton's pictures that a lot of trickery and shortcuts went into making them as good as they were. As previously stated, the film is quite beautiful and the star of this show is the cinematography by J. Roy Hunt which was really quite exquisite at times. Whether it was indoors at the house of Betsy's employers, down by the ocean or even at the voodoo ceremony, everything looked stunning and yet, even as good as it looks, there is an uneasy quality to it as you know that something is wrong and there is something larger at play. More than anything, it is that fact that makes the horror in this film work as good as it does as it runs alongside of the allure of the setting, quiet and subdued, yet always present. As small as the budget might have been on this film, it looked as if it could have been made with ten times the amount it actually cost and you have to give Lewton credit for making the most of what he was given.
From start to finish, you will find it hard to tear your eyes away from this film as it completely enchants you. I Walked With a Zombie is an old-fashioned type of horror movie, one that relies on story and skill to deliver what fright it can instead of throwing a lot of blood or gore at the viewer. Tourneur directs with a steady hand and while the story is a simple one, you never lose interest in the haunting tale it tells. An excellent film that proves a little can go a long way and that horror comes in many different flavours.

78 Diana är en stor asteroid upptäckt 15 mars 1863 av Karl Theodor Robert Luther i Düsseldorf. Asteroiden har fått sitt namn efter den romerska gudinnan Diana.

Observationer av en ockultation av en stjärna 4 september 1980 gav att asteroidens diameter är 116 kilometer. Dess yta är mörk och består troligtvis av karbonater.

Acoustic Space is the first full-length installment in The Invisible Light trilogy helmed by Grammy- and Oscar-winning producer T Bone Burnett in collaboration with percussionist Jay Bellerose and artist, composer, producer and musician Keefus Ciancia. The albums explore the idea that society has been subject to over a century of electronic programming, a "programming pandemic," which is causing us to lose our ability to differentiate fact from fiction. Burnett describes the trilogy as "an experimental song cycle" which consists of a single piece of poetry broken down into distinct songs. The Invisible Light is a fusion of trance, electronic, folk, tribal and global music. At the heart of this trilogy is technology and how it has advanced significantly throughout the course of the last century with radio, film, television and the internet serving as central parts of our lives. In acoustic space, people hear from every direction at once, the center is everywhere, and there is no border.
