Argon, the Augmented Reality Web Browser, Available Now on iPhone: Take A Sex in the City Tour
You're in a bookstore checking out the bestsellers. You scan the book with your iPhone camera and immediately see information floating in the air, provided by the store's information channel. You add your own book club channel to the view, overlaying additional reviews from friends and other relevant information from shopping sites on the Web.
Blair MacIntyre, associate professor in Georgia Tech's College of Computing and member of Tech's GVU Center, discusses the release of Argon, the first mobile augmented reality browser based on open Web standards.

MacIntyre and his Augmented Environments Lab in the School of Interactive Computing developed Argon to move the Web into the world. It does so by taking video from the phone's camera and rendering graphical content on top of the video to provide users with an experience that merges space with cyberspace.
The Argon mobile augmented reality browser was developed with funding support from Alcatel-Lucent through its University Innovations Program.
Argon is available now for free download at Apple's App Store.
While skimming the book reviews, you notice a note that looks as if it's floating in the air on your personal channel, reminding you about a nearby restaurant you've been meaning to visit. You buy the book and head to lunch, looking forward to reading a bit over lunch before heading back to work.
No, this isn't you in 20 years --- it's a scenario possible in the very near future thanks to a new technology designed to bring the Web off your hand-held device and into the real world. Developers hope to port Argon to other platforms, such as Android, in the near future.
"Our goal is to provide a foundation for millions of Web developers to begin writing applications so they can provide users with new experiences that are unique to the world of AR," said Blair MacIntyre, KHARMA project director and associate professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. "Basically, we want to move the Web into the world."
"Alcatel-Lucent is actively involved in supporting open standards across mobile and fixed devices to enable consumers and business users to enjoy rich communication anywhere, anytime and over any device. Our participation as a project sponsor in Georgia Tech's development of the world's first open standards-based mobile augmented reality browser is an example of that," said Marc Goodman, director of Alcatel-Lucent's University Innovations Program.
Augmented reality allows people to view the physical world with computer media overlaid on top of it. The approach is often suggested as a way of adding information to the world and improving the way that people can interact with that information, but can also be used for games, art or any imaginable application where the media content relates to nearby people, places or things.
Argon marks the first significant step in marrying the power of the Internet to the world of augmented reality. Until now, most AR applications had to be developed and deployed on the user's mobile device, limiting the reach of the technology. Commercial attempts at creating more general AR browser platforms have offered limited content and interaction options.
What makes Argon different from standard mobile Internet browsers is its ability to put content out into the world. Argon takes video from the phone's camera and renders graphical content on top of it. With this initial release, any content that can be displayed in the iPhone's Mobile Safari Web browser can be pushed out into the world on virtual billboards. Other content can be created using forms and Javascript. Future releases will also include support for a range of 3D content.
"Basically, there are lots of little programs that provide the ability to use AR to put some information out in the world around you. Some, like these early browsers, also allow users to contribute content, but none allow the full range of dynamic content, control and interactivity of the Web, with everything hosted on your own servers," said MacIntyre.
By building on top of open Web technologies and standards, the KHARMA development platform opens the door to AR applications with a full range of possible interactivity, collaboration, Web mashups and connections to cloud services that users and developers have come to rely on.
For example, rather than just displaying the locations of businesses or other nearby places, you can customize the content delivery as you desire. When you use the browser to view the channel for a theater, the channel might display the movie times, allow you to view previews of the films, or create in-browser games and interactive experiences tied to the movies you choose. Those games might be collaborative with other nearby viewers, or with people at another theater across town or across the country. The possibilities are endless.
"If you look at the history of any media, such as film or the Web, initially the content creators are the same people who created the technology," said MacIntyre. "But at some point that begins to change, and tools come along that allow many people to begin to work with the technology. When that happens, we begin to discover what the medium is truly about. With the KHARMA specifications, and the Argon browser, we want to put AR into the hands of the millions of people who know how to create websites, and hopefully take a step toward understanding the potential of AR."

Kia Joorabchian says Mesut Ozil's situation at Arsenal 'should have been resolved two years ago' by German's agent
By Joe Moore
8th September 2020, 4:54 pm
Updated: 8th September 2020, 4:56 pm
Kia Joorabchian has lamented Mesut Ozil's ongoing exile at Arsenal, telling talkSPORT the situation 'should have been resolved two years ago'.
Ozil was frozen out of the first-team by manager Mikel Arteta for all of the Gunners' 13 matches after lockdown last season, with the playmaker's last competitive appearance coming in their 1-0 win against West Ham in March.
Mesut Ozil has been back in training for Arsenal and even played in his first game for six months last weekend
He has failed to impress since signing his bumper £350,000-a-week contract in 2018 and Arsenal had been hoping to offload the German this summer, before his contract expires next year.
However, Ozil has stated publicly that he is going nowhere and even returned to action at the weekend as he played his first game in six months, in Saturday's pre-season defeat to Aston Villa.
With no clubs apparently willing to pay up to sign Ozil, it is now expected he will STAY at the Emirates for one final season, although it is unclear if he will be part of Arteta's plans when the competitive action starts.
Super agent Joorabchian was asked about Ozil's situation at the Emirates on Tuesday, as he joined talkSPORT host Jim White in the studio.
Ozil has resisted an exit from Arsenal and could return to the team in his final season at the club, before leaving for free next season
And he suggested the World Cup winner's deteriorating status may have a lot to do with his agent not trying hard enough to fix the rift between his client and the club.
Asked about the situations surrounding Ozil at Arsenal and Gareth Bale at Real Madrid, Joorabchian said: "I don't want to talk about Gareth Bale or Mesut Ozil because I don't represent them.
"But I want to talk about that in general, I think as an agent and in the work we're set out to do, we are there to solve problems, not create them.
"Of course you get a situation like Mesut where the club and player don't see eye to eye or something has gone wrong…
"When we have a situation where the player has a problem, we have to try to resolve it. I don't think let's sit back and wait for the club and say 'it's your problem, not mine'. I think that's just a bad agent.
"The Ozil situation should have been resolved two years ago.
Adrian Durham says Arsene Wenger is to blame for Mesut Ozil's situation at Arsenal
"I mean, what is the point of a player sitting there not playing? Who gains from that?
"The club doesn't gain from that, the player is ageing so he doesn't gain from that, the agent doesn't gain from that, I'm not exactly sure other than the fact that the player has a monetary gain from his income. I don't think anybody really gains from such a situation.
"I can't ever remember us [Joorabchian and his agency team] not trying everything to resolve a problem.
"I just don't see the point of it, because you leave a player unhappy, the family of that player unhappy and the club is unhappy.
"It's always like you're playing game of chicken with yourself. I'm not sure why you'd want to leave a player unhappy like that."

Freelance journalist writing on international affairs, defence and technology plus a few random thoughts. Ex-British army and The Economist.
Dominic Nicholls is a freelance journalist writing on defence, technology, international affairs and business regulation. He is a former British army officer with service in the Balkans, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq. He retired from the army to write, subsequently working for The Economist and Sunday Telegraph newspapers. His blog is at www.addingtonword.com.
The project is an incredible achievement and will be of immense value to historians and future researchers as it is the first time anyone has pulled together all the records and included the next of kin. Thirteen hitherto unrecognised members of the SAS and LRDG were discovered in the course of the author's research.
The recent spat between Walmart Canada and Visa has reignited the debate about interchange; the fee paid by a merchant to customers' banks when a payment card has been used for the purchase. It is, effectively, a price to be paid for the convenience, efficiency and relative safety of card payment systems.
As merchants cannot charge different prices for cash, credit or debit payments and obviously price-in the interchange fee, those consumers using cash (e.g. those on fixed incomes such as the retired) are, in effect, paying a hidden fee. So reducing interchange fees as far as possible make sense. Or does it?


And here's what I'm working with. Try not to be impressed by all the beautiful things you see in this photo.
I'm almost done with the wood counter–and it only cost about $50! I still have to sort through all the photos and write out how I did it, but for now here's a sneak peak of Miss Piggy enjoying what could potentially be her new home.
It's made by Premier Prints, who I've noticed has lots of cute fabrics for under $10/yard. I've been reading about how to do a box pleat for a nice, tailored look, but I just got really freaked out thinking about trying to match up the pattern. Maybe I'll just fly by the seat of my pants and let the pattern be uneven. This ain't the Ritz, after all. It's just my laundry room. I think I'm already ahead of the curve just by trying to hide all my junk. Most people just let their junk hang all out, haha. But not me. I'm fancy and I hide my litter box. Or at least I will be hiding my litter box as soon as I figure out how to make a box pleat and spend some quality time with my sewing machine.
can't wait to see the final product! we used that print for the rocking chair in our nursery and LOVE it. so if you do decide to go with it, it is beautiful in person.
WOoh! Can't wait to see it!

Here are some pictures of Charli in her ballet class.
to be "Ladybug's" in the June performance!!!
The theme this year is "In the forest"
So Zilba and Leia got in a little arguement the other day.
So she let him have it.
Ironically his injury is on the same side as Charli's!
Charli and Zilba have matching injuries.
I just hope he has learned his lesson.
He gets his stitches out in 14 days.
And is on pain meds.
We took Charli bowling for the first time.
all the way to the ramp and then roll it down.
so I think Chad was really excited to take Charli for the first time.
managed to have a good time.
Charli and I got tickets to the Disney Princesses on Ice at Arco.
All the pricesses made an appearance. The lighting was not the greatest for pictures.
So most of my pictures turned out blurry or dark. But I tried.
It really turned out so cute.
So I made some hot cocoa today from my new favorite cook book!!! Amy will agree with me on this. The cook book is called "Deceptively Delicious" by Jessica Seinfeld. She has put together a bunch of recipes that include some sort of vegetable in every recipe. This one calls for a 1/2 cup of pureed sweet potato. So I whipped it up and it turned out really delicious!!! I think this book is gonna be a keeper in my house. If you enlarge the picture of the recipe you should be about to read it and print it out if interested.
I found these three monkey's sitting on the couch last night. I had to take a picture of that!!! Leia really looks like she was enjoying herself.

Q: how to unregister a messenger event - Galasoft MVVM Environment;
WPF, Galasoft MVVM Light
I have a scenario where many in-active xaml views of my application keep listening to a messenger's message and this makes my application to work very slow.
Question;
What is the best way to unregister a message from inactive view? I want only active instance of a view to listen messages.
I tried to unregister it on unloading event of a view, but this unregister it from active instance also.
Thanks,
Asif

A: Events aren't expensive, it's the code you execute when the event has been received.
(Re)Design your message event receivers so that they only execute when the view is active.

I Can't Tell If I Like Or Hate This DeAngelo Williams Quote
Filed to:deangelo williams
Alex Brandon/AP Images
The Steelers-Bengals rematch from that brawl of a wild card game is this Sunday—and as Drew wrote, the NFL is dumb as hell for scheduling it for before Vontaze Burfict returns from suspension—and Pittsburgh running back DeAngelo Williams sounds ready as hell. Check this quote:
"Everybody knows the professional hatred we have for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Bengals have with us," Williams said. "Everybody's heard the Twitter fight and things of that nature that we've had in the offseason. Guess what? This Sunday, that comes to a head, and the cameras will be watching. It will be our will versus their will, and we will see who breaks first."
My first instinct was to like it, because "things of that nature" reminds me of the tied-for-best tweet about Stephen A. Smith. (This is the other best SAS tweet.)
My second instinct was to like it even more, because "professional hatred" is such a perfect term for sports rivalries. It's a job, but it can also get varying degrees of personal. It's just good business to possess—or at least convey—the same enmities as the fans, and no one on either team forgets that nothing in sports can be monetized like a grudge.
My third instinct was to be turned off by how Williams trailed off into bromides at the end. This isn't really a battle of wills, it's a football game where the team that plays the best football will (probably) win. I hate war metaphors when applied to sports (count 'em sometime, you'll be shocked), I think they're lazy as hell, and this feels something like that.
And then I realized Williams's quote sounds like nothing so much as a pro wrestling promo, circa 1990. Picture Mean Gene at his locker. Append "brother" to the end of each sentence, maybe. This is showmanship, this is hype, and it's coming from a player self-aware enough to have worn ski goggles to respond to another player's promise of "blood and guts."
I love this quote.

Advance payment assistance programmes and grants. An advance payment is the money you pay in advance to obtain a home loan. No down payment is required for veterans who are eligible to receive a VA loan. Naturally, all this presupposes that you can afford to buy a house at all. Guaranteed by the Veterans Administration, these loans allow you to buy a house without a down payment and there is no PMI requirement.
Before the Great Depression, it was pretty simple to buy a house without a down payment. Loan approval criteria - especially for construction financing - have become much stricter. A lot of home purchasers began turning to FHA lending (which requires as little as 3. 5 per cent down as of this writing) once the number of zero-down mortgages began to dry up.
Just when many home purchasers thought that the FHA Loan was requiring too high a down payment ahead of the mortgage markets troubles, this line of thinking is scrambling back - as it is possible to find zero drawdown home building Loans again. Think only of when you get a home mortgage, make a schedule for how you will be paying these installments and follow your schedule with a utility like ReadyForZero. What you can do is to make a payment and then you can use a program like this.
Whilst it is not exactly simple to buy a house without a down payment in the present environment, it is possible if you can show that you have a reasonable salary and a good reputation. They must also be prepared to repay a higher interest will. On the other hand, the cost you are paying for having no "skin in the game" is a mortage interest which will ensure that you are paying additional ten thousand dollar over the lifetime of your home loans likened to borrower who have down deposits.
That will serve as your "deposit" - even if you don't actually deposit anything. Another credit is for the rest of the sale amount. However, before you do, recognize that the interest on the small mortgages that serve as down payments is likely to be higher than the interest on your "real" mortgages.
But there are other ways to be creatively free of down payments, receiving a present from a loved one or boyfriend, or taking part in community living programmes that allow you to use "sweat capital" to fund your home. If the latter is the case, you do part of the work that builds your home and help others construct houses, and in exchange you don't have to be concerned about a down payment.
Buy or buy a house in 2016? Agents Ace uses historic home sales information to help us pinpoint the number one in your store, find your ideal home, or resell your home for more. Conversely, if you are qualifying for certain federal programmes that might offer an opportunity for you to buy a home without a down payment.
The VA Lending Programme is one of the most beloved lending programmes that allows you to buy a home without a down payment. Dependent on your lending position and your earnings, you can be eligible for a zero-down VA loans. Also, there are federal schemes that can help you buy a home without a down payment if you are willing to buy in qualifying countryside areas or in qualifying high criminal areas.
The aim of these programmes is to help increase wealth in certain areas by introducing house owners. When you take the risks in the countryside or criminal areas, you may be able to get a cheap home without a down payment. Like with all mortgage types, zero down home loan requires that you show that you have a good loan and that you are likely to make the repayments.
Should you buy a home without a down payment? Knowing now that there are ways to buy a home without a down payment, the unanswered questions are: Is it a good concept? Usually we suggest to pay a deposit when you buy a property. No. (1) If you are playing your card properly and doing your research, you will be able to get lower interest rates if you have a down payment; (2) by prepaying a part of the costs of the home up front, you will be nearer to having the home pay off than if you are starting with no own funds in the home; and (3) the savings up expertise will help you get ready for home ownership - which often will require an Emergency Fund- to deal wit any unforeseen repair or service problems that may arise.
Whilst many singles and family members are keen to begin their new lives as home owners, it is usually a good thing to delay until you receive a down payment so that you can begin this new lease of a lifetime on a strong monetary basis.

Example #1: Projectile Motion with Energy
Mark as complete
Hey guys so in this video I want to talk about using the conservation of energy equation to solve projectile motion problems let's check it out. So it says your projectile motion problems asking for speeds or heights are easier to solve using conservation of energy equation, now they're not always easy to solve they're sometimes easy to solve and you can't always do this and I'll talk about this more at the end but we can use energy because speeds have to do with kinetic energy and heights have to do with potential energy so we're going to be able to in some cases use this equation which would be preferable because instead of having to pick one of the three or four equations of motion and have to worry about directions of positive or negative and all that kind of stuff and have to worry about decomposing vectors we can just instead use the energy in some cases to solve it all at once, alright?
So here it says you throw an object 5 kilograms from the top of a 30-meter-tall building so this is 30 meters right here with 20 meters per second and so if you launch with 20 meters per second means that Va right here is 20 meters per second directed at an unknown angle so we don't know this, OK? Above the horizontal it says that the object reaches a maximum height of 40 so if you are at 30 and you get to 40 it's because this additional height here is 10 meters, you could write this or you could just write that the whole thing is 40 ignoring air resistance so there's no work done by friction calculate the object speed at points B C and D, OK? So, let's start over here and I want to find the velocity of object at point B, so I know information about point A I know my initial height at point A and I know my initial velocity at point A and I want to know information about Point B so I'm going to write an energy equation from A to B and it's going to look like this, Ka+Ua+work non-conservative=Kb+Ub, alright? There is kinetic energy at point A because I have a velocity, there's potential at A because I have a height there's no work non-conservative, remember 20 meters per second is after it's already left your hand so while it's between the time that it leaves your hand with 20 and it gets to B over here or actually through the entire motion even you're not doing anything, right? So, the work done by you 0 you did work in throwing it remember but the problem starts counting once it leaves your hand with 20 so the work done by you is 0 and there is no friction there is kinetic energy at point B, alright? Some people sometimes here might make a mistake and think that while the velocity at point B is 0 because the highest point but no the velocity in the Y axis at point B is 0 so the velocity of B is simply made up of its velocity in the X axis which if you remember velocity in the X axis never changes so it's Vax It's whatever the initial velocity in the X axis was, alright? Just as a quick reminder of how some of the stuff in projectile motion works but you didn't really need to know all that for here or remember all of that you just have to not think that the velocity would be 0 at the top, OK Vb is not 0 so I have kinetic energy because Vb is not 0 and I have potential energy because I have a height so I have all four types of energies here and let's do this, so 1/2MVa squared + MGHa = 1/2MVb squared + MGHb. By the way one of the things you could have done here is you could have said to make it a little bit simpler you could have said well since I'm going from A to B I'm going to say that this is a height of 0 and then this is a height of 10 you could have done that if you wanted, alright? I didn't do that here but it doesn't matter it won't affect the final answer it would have just made things a little simpler, here the masses cancel and if I plug in these numbers I have a 1/2(20) squared, gravity I'm going to use 10, the height at point A is 30, Vb is what looking for gravity is 10 and the height at B is 40, alright? You've got all the numbers all you have to do is solve for Vb if you move all the stuff around, OK? I'm going to fast forward a little bit here but if you move all the stuff around and you solve for Vb you get the Vb is 14.1 roughly 14.1 meters per second, OK? So, nothing special here just basic conservation of energy equation, alright? For part B we're being asked what is the velocity at point C, alright? What is Vc? Well to do this we can write an equation from A to C but we actually don't have to do that we don't have to write an equation from A to C at all I should know from conservation of energy that if A and C are at the same height they have to have the same speed, right? If they are at the same height they have to have the same speed so since the height at C is the same as the height at A I can tell you that of the velocity or the speed at C is the same as the speed at A so it's going to be just 20 meters per second we can also think of this in terms of symmetry if you remember symmetry from projectile motion the speed going up is the same as the speed going down for points that are symmetric and because the speed up is the same as the speed down whatever a Vay is the same as Vcy and the velocities in the X axis never change so we Vcx is Vax combine the fact that it's symmetric up and down and that the X axis never changes you end up having a Vc that is exactly the same as Va we talked about this in projectile motion but you can also just have a simple answer to this in terms of energy if the heights are the same the speeds have to be the same, OK? So that's how we get rid of B real quick let me now let me now solve part C. Part C is the velocity at point D, alright? So, to do this we're going to have kinetic initial I'm sorry we're going to write an energy equation from let's say A to D I could have written one from B to D I know information about B to D I can also even have written one from C to D since I know the height of C and the speed of C but it doesn't really matter they all work and they're all equally.... Equal amounts of work. Kd Ud there is a kinetic energy at point A there is a potential energy at point A we're going to say that the ground is 0 over here, there is no work there is kinetic at point D because it's right before you hit the ground and there is no potential energy there so this is a half MVa squared, MGHa, 1/2MVd squared all the masses cancel and we're looking for Vd, let's plug in numbers, 1/2(20)squared + 10 the height is 30 equals 1/2Vd squared if you move everything out of the way this is 200+300, this 2 multiplies over here and then Vd then becomes 31.6, Vd is 31.6 meters per second it should make sense that Vd is greater than Va, right? 20 you go up now you have 14 you come back down to 20 and then you go back down and you're a little bit faster at 31, OK? Vc was 20 and the last question is part what would be the velocity at point D? it says right what is the velocity at point D had it been thrown in any angle below the X axis? So, this is a velocity at point so instead of launching this up you had launched with the Va equals 20 that made some negative angle here in other words you threw it down instead of throwing up, what would it be the velocity at point D? And I can tell you real quick that without having to solve this the velocity would be exactly the same because the direction at which you launch the object doesn't matter because we are doing this using the energy equation, energies are scalars not vectors so the direction does not matter, OK? So I'm going to write here direction does not matter so you have in your notes and you can do this by look at the energy equation and realizing that it just has speed not Vx not Vy not sine of the theta or cosine of theta none of that stuff so there are no thetas, Vx, Vy just V in the energy equation, energy equation, OK? So this means Vd is 31.6 irrespective of the direction that you toss it at even if you didn't straight up it would still have been 31.6 on the way down so that's of that's an important conceptual point you should know that in respect of the direction the final total speed will always be the same because it depends only on the initial speed and the initial height, OK? And that's from conservation of energy, alright I have a second example here let's check that out.
Alright so in this example we have a ball that we're throwing with 20 meters per second at 37 degrees above the horizontal so letÕs draw this real quick, throwing it this way I'm going to call this Va=20 and it makes an angle of 37 degrees above the horizontal above the X axis like that and it say use the conservation of energy to find its maximum height so let me draw this, it's going to go like this and then hit the ground and I'm going to call this point A, B and C and here I want to know the maximum height so I want to know what is the height at point B? And it's asking us to do this using conservation of energy I know information about Point A I want information about Point B so I'm going to write the energy equation from A to B since A is my known and B is my target so here's the energy equation so there is kinetic energy at point A because you tossed it, it has a speed at that point there's no potential at point A because we're assuming that you're throwing it from the ground or close enough to the ground there's no information about height so we can assume that this is 0, the work done by non-conservative forces is 0 because again you throw a 20 it starts with 20 and then from them instant it leaves your hand with 20 and throughout the entire path on the air you're not doing anything there's no friction there is a kinetic energy at point B even though at point B is the highest point it still has a velocity, it has a velocity at point B is the same as Vx, remember Vx is whatever initial velocity you had here Vx is your Vax and this velocity in the X axis is the same everywhere, Vax is the same as Vx throughout and then in this case there is no Vy here, right? So, I can write that VBy is 0 therefore the entire all of the speed or velocity at point B comes from its X component there is no Y component, OK? So there's definitely energy here and there is energy here because there is a height so let's expand this, 1/2MVa squared = 1/2MVb squared + MGHb, the masses cancel and I'm looking for Hb let's try plugging in some numbers and you're going to notice that we're going to get stuck so 1/2 the speed here is 20, 1/2 and now realize that I don't have Vb at least it wasn't given to me we can calculate Vb but we don't have it right away, Vb square we don't have it + GHb so you got stuck not having a number and this is just the basic physics hustle question as I like to call it because you're going to get stuck and you'll need a number and you're going to have to go and find it, OK? And this is where you have to realize and remember a little bit of projectile motion realize that the velocity at point B because there is no Vby is made up entirely of its X component so I'm going to say that again so since Vby=0 then Vb is made up entirely of Vbx, OK? And that's the first point. Two since the acceleration in the X axis is 0 and it always is 0, right? And unless you have air resistance which most of the time doesn't show up then I can say that Vbx is the same as Vax because it never changes in fact it doesn't change so I like to think of it as not a Vax, Vbx or Vcx but just Vx to make the point to reinforce the point that Vx is always the same so if I want to find Vbx and if I want to find Vbx I just have to find Vax and we can do that Vax is Va cosine of theta X goes with cosine as long as the angle is against the horizontal which it is, OK? And we can plug this in, this is 20 cosine of 37 and 20 cosine of 37 is going to be 16 meters per second so 16 is the number that goes right here now let's continue this over here this is going to be 400, 200 this is 256 divided by this would be 128+Hb if I move this over here I'm going to get a 72 equals 10 Hb so Hb equals 7.2 meters, OK? that's it for this one, again the energy equation got a little weird because we didn't have all the pieces of information and sometimes you're going to get these equation with projectile motion where you are going to have almost everything but then you have to decompose an angle to figure something out and the key thing here to remember was the fact that your Vb at the highest point will always just be your Vx then you can get Vx from Vx so it says here one last point not really related to this question but just to these types of problems that problems that required time notice the neither one of these problems that we've solved require time but that problems require time to be solved cannot be solved with the energy equation and that's because the energy equation has no time it has no reference to time it has no T variable anywhere and instead we're going to have to use motion equations, OK? We're not really going to run into these here because this is from a previous chapter, right? And the whole idea of this portion is that you can do some of these questions using energy but not all of them some of the other questions that you won't be able to do using energy will have time and in that case, you have to use motion equations instead, whenever you're being asked for time use motion equations otherwise you might be able to use the energy equation that's it let me know if you guys have any questions.

In his mid 20's, Justin was mentored in Jonathon Waxman's Barbuto, where he cultivated his own Italianesque tendencies, though would later incorporate Japanese bases like dashi into the mix. Pondering ratios of moisture, intensities of heat, reversing expected processes, Justin's graceful touches have found a home at Upland restaurant, noted by his glowing NYTimes review, and lauded Peppercorn-Crusted Short Ribs, all while challenging the convention of what cooking with fire really means.

Stephen Waldron is a writer who lives in Massachusetts. He holds an M.A. in Systematic Theology from Marquette University. He works in the library services industry and does volunteer work in political and church contexts. He believes that Jesus shows us who God is and what human beings should be like, and that fighting for equality among human beings is a crucial way to love our neighbors.
Apocalypse and Analysis is an attempt to make the apocalypse (revelation) of God in Jesus present to our world by analyzing how it meets human beings today. This is done with help from a few friends: early Anabaptists, postcolonial readers of the Bible, and 20th century theologians who grappled with what it means to think and live as followers of Jesus in the modern world. Reader beware: the task of analyzing God's revelation to us in Jesus is never finished, and it has been known to significantly shorten one's lifespan.
Rather than coddling his hearers in a November 16, 1938 sermon in Berlin, he told them what they needed to hear in the days following the barbarity of the Kristallnacht pogroms: "God is disgusted at the very sight of you." We might say that Gollwitzer was doing theology "in and for the church," but he certainly had a unique approach to doing so.
Though reading one more twentieth-century German theologian will not be the decisive factor in this decisive moment, there are at least three good reasons to agree with McMaken that Gollwitzer can offer an important intervention for us now.
On issues like immigration, people rightly sense that political differences are resulting from deep moral disagreement. But too many of our debates on these issues assume that we only disagree about procedures or tactics.
What Was a Nazi Church Service Like?
In the midst of a fierce struggle for control of the churches, the pro-Nazi "German Christian" faction preached sermons, edited Bibles, revised hymn-books, altered liturgies, and changed the church calendar. Sometimes they made drastic changes. At the same time, they inherited a form of Christianity that offered little opposition to Nazism.

Q: MS Access Upgrade to SQL Server I have developed an MS Access 2007 database with forms that works fine in
access, but when I upsize the back end to SQL Server, I completely lose
functionality on a sub-form.  Has anyone else run in to this problem?  Is
there a work around?

A: I'm just in the middle of a similar project and have encountered something similar. For me the problem was with datetime fields.
Please check that your forms data/recordset has a datetime field... if it does try changing it to a datetime2 (this seemed to fix it for me in 90% of cases), though you'll probably have to re-import/re-run the ssma app to get the dates imported as datatime2.
@David-w-fenton afaik when you link a table in access it insists on you choosing some field(s) as primary keys

A: In my case, after making all of the suggested changes, it turns out that the problematic sub-form was corrupt.  I rebuilt the project from scratch in Access 2007 and everything worked fine.

Holbeach is a fenland market town in the South Holland district of southern Lincolnshire, England. The Prime Meridian of the world passes through the west of Holbeach. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the sea came to within 2 miles of Holbeach and there were severe floods recorded in the 13th and 16th centuries. The land drainage programmes of the 18th and 19th centuries moved the coastline of The Wash to 9 miles away, leaving Holbeach surrounded by more than 23,000 acres of reclaimed fertile agricultural land. Much of Holbeach's economy has been based on food processing and bulb growing. The United Kingdom's largest bulb supplier (Taylors Bulbs) is situated to the north of Holbeach and flour milling continues to this day at Barrington Mill.

Home / SMEs unaware of finance options
SMEs unaware of finance options
A lack of understanding by UK SMEs about alternative finance options could end up costing the economy £20 billion by 2020.
A study by GLI Finance and Cambridge University centre for Alternative Finance has revealed that 80% of funding lent to SMEs has only come from four UK banks. 56% of the SMEs surveyed said that they were not familiar with an alternative form of finance despite there being many on the market.
The report was supported by the Federation of Small Businesses, British Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers, Asset Based Finance Association, Innovate Finance and techUK. They have insisted that the government should "reduce concentration risks in the credit ecosystem" so that the economy is protected from any losses.
Now we're being warned the economy could suffer £20 billion in losses by 2020 if traditional lenders carry on withdrawing funding. Head of public affairs at GLI Finance, Dr Louise Beaumont has said that those in alternative finance are playing a "crucial role" towards the growth of SMEs (SME jobs make up 65% of employment in the UK) because they are supporting the increase of their turnover and profit whilst they employ more people.
She continued to say;
"The industry has started to fill a vital credit gap as traditional lenders have retrenched from the market in the wake of financial crisis.
"The alternative finance industry has achieved a great deal in a short space of time but it is imperative the Government now leads the charge, supported by industry groups and industry itself, in order to ensure SMEs get the help they need to grow and that the alternative finance industry cements its position as a mainstream and complementary part of the financial services sector."
The research imitates the results of provisional findings of the Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) analysis exploring SME banking. It found that in October 'the watchdog' exposed that Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC, RBS and Barclays make up for 80% of the business current account sector, which generates £2.7 billion in revenue annually.
Funding Options, GLI Finance's investee has found that banks have taken out £5.7 million per day just in overdrafts for small businesses since 2011. This has taken away the credit available to £12.5 billion, a £8.4 billion decrease (from £20.9 billion) the cost to the economy has been estimated at £2.9 billion.
According to the report, businesses in the North of the country are more than twice as likely to have had an overdraft facility removed or decreased because 55% of the businesses are looking at credit cuts, whereas only 25% of London businesses face these cuts.
The study has made it clear that alternative financing needs to be more commonly known about. It is significant for all business, including SMEs to know what their other funding options are. The report has called for a "well-resourced awareness campaign" which has the aim of improving SMEs understanding when it comes to alternative finance.
Dr Louise Beaumont continued to say "Lack of awareness amongst SMEs of the financing options available to them – despite a plethora of well-intentioned documents, reports and guides for SMEs – is an issue that threatens to undermine the UK's economy recovery.
"We must think less about individual policies and mechanisms in isolation and much more about the bigger picture. We need to do the simple things much more efficiently to enable SME behaviour change, and to create an environment where the Small Business Enterprise and Employment Act can flourish to the benefit of SMEs."
Backed by the Department for Business, Innovation and skills (BIS), the Small Business Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 became a law this year. Within the act there are several measures to benefit SMEs and their access to finance. Banks are required to forward on information about SMEs that have been declined for a business loan to alternative lenders so that their needs can be met elsewhere.
The rules surrounding accessing SME's credit data has been restructured, the BIS believe it will give banks and alternative lenders a fair and equal chance. Head of Businesscomparison.com, Philip Brennan added;
"Small and medium-sized businesses no longer have to rely solely on the banks. Alternative lending is providing an effective and fast funding stream for them. At Businesscomparison.com we welcome a more competitive marketplace for UK businesses – that's why we launched our website to find them the best deals on loans, commercial mortgages, invoice and asset finance."

Jhene Aiko: Chilombo & Toxic Relationships
'The Worst' is one of my favorite Jhene Aiko songs.
'Everybody's like
He's no item
Please don't like em
He don't wife em
He one nights em
I never listen, no
I shoulda figured tho
All that shit you was spittin'
So unoriginal
But it was you
So I was with it
And tell you the truth
Wish we never did it'
Basically Jhené is talkin about fallin for a dude, only for him to switch up and not act right. She wanted it to be more than it was, took a chance, and ended up getting her heart broken.
What's so unrelateable about that? I am sure that many of us can relate to falling for the wrong one. At least a few can relate to ending up in a situationship. I was inspired to write a little something about Jhene, after her recent project,'Chilombo' dropped this past Friday.
Black Twitter wasted no time weighing in on the new tunes.
The word 'toxic' has become so overused, it makes one wonder what ya'll are really talkin about here?
Let's look at the definition of the word 'toxic' since ya'll just throwing this word around hella casual as of late.
tox·ic
/ˈtäksik/
1. Poisonous
2. Very bad, unpleasant, or harmful. (ex. a toxic relationship)
Now, all of us have expressed our feelings about Jhene and her on and off again boyfriend, Big Sean. The two started dating in 2016, even recording a whole project together, Twenty88.
"…We worked together as well throughout our relationship. We did songs together and then you know, it just came to a point where it was like, 'I'm single, you're single, we love each other.' We actually already love each other as people and then it was like, 'Okay, let's just, you know, be together. So it was different because of that friendship. That comes first, we're friends before anything. We can bicker like a friendship (Big Sean Confirms Relationship with Jhene)."
In 2018, she covered up the tattoo of his face, and rumors started to fly that they had called it quits. In reality, they didn't break up until March 2019. Since then, however, we have seen them at quite a few events, including Diddy's 50th birthday, and the RocNation brunch.
Recently, Big Sean professed his love and congratulatory remarks to Jhene on her latest album 'Chilombo.'
Jhene even featured him on the track 'None of Your Concern,' which was very…..colorful. It sounds like they both are a little damaged, a little confused, and the sex is good.
Back to the original point, are they toxic? Who is to say? Jhene strikes me as a chick with lots of feels, which she shares freely in her music. This album sounds to me like she's trying to figure it all out. I think it's difficult to not discuss your relationships as a musician, as heartbreak makes for some of the best jams. I think that's why we collectively fuck with Jhene. She just says what she wants to fuckin say. I think they both have growing to do emotionally, and are trying to figure out if they can grow together romantically.
But all of us have been toxic in a past life. Many of us lacked the self awareness and maturity to navigate all the feelings that come from being in a committed relationship. Now imagine trying to navigate all of that in the public eye. Not to mention being a single mother, trying to date, and figure out life. She started dating Big Sean at 27, she got married at 25, she had her daughter at 20. Sounds to me like she just packed a lot of life in her twenties, she just didn't do the self-work. Perhaps she is trying to give herself room to learn and grow in this new decade of life. Can't really knock that.
Big Sean has also been open about taking his single time to find himself, and work on himself. He has been public about dealing with depression, losing himself in relationship, and the importance of taking time to be alone.
Sean says therapy helped him get "clarity" on his situation and was able to focus on relationships which had meaning in his life.
"I realized that it all started with me," he says.
"I couldn't point the finger at anyone else, I had to point it at myself, nurture those relationships that were important to me but most importantly nurture the relationship with myself (Big Sean talks about struggle with anxiety and depression)."
Are they together now? Welp, they've posted pics from V-Day at Disneyland recently.
Looks like the two lovebirds are giving this one more go 'round. But let's talk about what's coming up for ya'll.
Some of ya'll are triggered by Jhene's lyrics because you have yet to begin your own self-work. All sis is doing is reminding you. You know why I loved 'The Worst' when it came out? Because some of the fools I dated were THE WORST. Let's also not gloss over the fact that she has tracks on 'Chilombo' that uplift, like "Love,"or feel good chunes like "Lightning and Thunder" and "Party On."
Music resonates with us for a variety of reasons. It can remind us of a person or a place, or a time period. I think my good sis Jhene writes about whatever she's experiencing at the time. The good, the bad, the ugly. Overall, 'Chilombo' is a solid album.
"Is it strange for me to say that if I were to die today, there's not a thing I would change? I've lived well. Maybe I have made mistakes and been through my fair share of pain but all in all, it's been okay. I've lived well."-J. Aiko

A Taranaki company has made use of drone technology in a challenge to create water pollution solutions
A national challenge to tackle agricultural water pollution has seen a New Plymouth finalist come to the forefront of the competition using drone technology.
Drone Technologies invention 'Mai Wai,' meaning 'my water,' allows researchers to collect water samples through drone aircraft, these samples are then compiled on an online cloud platform, which is accessible to both researchers and the public alike.
The Mai Wai project was selected by New Plymouth based Johnson Labs as a contender for the New Zealand Aerospace Challenge's NZ$30,000 grand prize, after a four month trial programme comprised of 20 other institutions competing for the opportunity.
The Aerospace Challenge was created in tandem with Airbus and Canterbury regional development unit ChristChurch, NZ, after a solution was needed for the detection, maintenance and measurement of agricultural resources like water and soil. The competition was intended to focus on satellite or unmanned aircraft as a way to increase the operational efficiency of research projects.
Chief executive Ben Plummer said the project addressed problems for scientists trying to find solutions to water pollution.
"Currently there are limited spatial testing sites, low frequency of sampling and it is difficult to identify polluters along with water bodies," he said.
SBTs: how can big data help those committed to change?
The challenge of sustainable packaging
Read the latest issue of CSO Magazine
The technology has undergone several test runs through various projects conducted in Taranaki, including one in conjunction with Ngamatapouri School that looked into how rainfall can impact the clarity and colour of water sources. Students were taught how to operate the drone to take images, within given legal parameters, and at designated monitoring points.
The challenge programme is designed to monitor sediment flow and the resulting impact of water pollution on agricultural operations, in a bid to improve the industry's impact on climate change. The competition encourages applicants to investigate and manage innovative solutions, without negatively impacting the success of New Zealand's agricultural industry.
Speaking on the efficacy of Mai Wai's solution, Johnson Corner Chief Executive Adnan Belushi said the technology had global potential across a market of 10mn sites.
"Technology companies with a purpose are the most valuable companies in the world, so having a data-driven company such as Drone Technologies, developed in Taranaki and exported to the global market, contributed to our vision for building a strong technological economy in our region, and an economy that can become a solid backbone for our region's prosperity." Belushi said.

"Fake news" is the red hot topic for 2017, and Facebook is making sure it's controlling the narrative, with new features and updates on its product.
In its most recent attempt to tackle the issue, Facebook is trying to give users a toolset so that they can identify news that are potentially fake. Since April 7th, Facebook has been showing tips on how to spot fake news, to users in 14 selected countries.
The tips appear in the form of a clickable ticker at the top of News Feed. The ticker redirects users to a page with a series of 10 tips that will educate visitors about how to spot fake news.
The rationale behind it is that you can only help so much by flagging News Feed items as "disputed," but the real difference will come by helping users spot them in the first place.
This is the latest update in a string of measures that the company has been taking to fight the spread of fake news. After all, they may have influenced recent political results, and caused quite a stir across the world. Mark Zuckerberg is personally involved in this project.
What's better than marking news as fake? Educating users on how to identify it.
