I wonder what does the light on top do?
It does this:
Lol, that would be true if Sony does implement that.
Also, there are rumors that PS4 will allow streaming for PlayStation 3 games. Here's one such source.
Hah, it seems like Sony's taking the "Sega does what Nintendon't" approach. It's a shame they didn't watch the entire Nintendo Direct to find out that most of the games are about Luigi!
So, about the controller, it looks similar to the PS3 controller, but it appears to be more bulky, and it has a screen.
Just to water Sony fan's mouth, the official Playstation channel on Youtube has been uploading videos on the evolution of their products these last days.
Tomorrow is suppose to be the day they reveal the ''big news''.
Quote from: Kotaku
Source: The PS4 Will Be Out This November, And You'll Be Able To Control It With Your Phone
A reliable Kotaku source has informed us that the PlayStation 4, codenamed Orbis, will be out this November in the United States.
Our source—the same reliable source who back in early 2012 told us the codename for Sony's next console and the codename for Microsoft's next console—tells us that there are two models planned for the new machine, and that pricing won't be announced until later this year, possibly around E3. The current plan, our source says, is to release them at $429 and $529, but that could change.
Although nothing is confirmed just yet, as we get closer and closer to the release of Orbis, which Sony is expected to officially announce during an event in New York City tomorrow night, we continue to hear more details about what will ship with the new hardware. Back in January, we learned about the PS4's new controller, which has a small touchpad in the center, and the fancy new user account system that will allow multiple people to log into one console at the same time.
New information revealed by our source suggests that on top of all that, you'll also be able to control the PS4 remotely from your tablet or smartphone. You'll be able to use a mobile device to chat with your PS4 friends or buy games which are then automatically downloaded to your machine, our source says.
Orbis is also following the path first set by Xbox Live: our source says "most" of the PS4's online features will require a premium subscription to use. Sony's new online service will be called PlayStation World, our source says, replacing PlayStation Plus.
(No word on whether that's related to PlayStation Cloud, domains for which Sony registered on Friday. We couldn't find any domains or trademarks registered for PlayStation World.)
Some other tidbits: our source says that every PS4 will come with a PlayStation Eye; that a new spectating feature will let you watch other friends play games from your console's dashboard, even when you don't own the game they're playing; and that the console will support local network play via Vita.
Current photos of the PS4 controller are inconsistent with some of the information we've received. For example, we've seen Orbis documentation that details a "share" button, and Edge magazine corroborated that not long after we reported it, saying that the controller's share button will record gameplay and allow you to share it online.
This controller doesn't seem to have a share button at all, although it's possible that the functionality has been wrapped into the all-purpose PlayStation button, which is a carryover from the PS3's DualShock controller.
Pictures of the prototype controller also match up with what we've reported about the touch pad and LED light, which you can see on the controller's back in the photos we've received.
We've reached out to Sony for comment and will update should they get back to us. Sony is expected to announce their new console tomorrow night at an event in New York City. Kotaku will be there reporting news as it happens.
Kotaku reveals interesting information regarding the PlayStation 4. Apparently, the release could be in November 2013 and could retail at somewhere between $430-$530. Tomorrow is the big day, for which Sony will reveal the PlayStation 4 and controller, so we just have to wait and see what happens then.

Getting excited! Just a few more hours.
I just want that backwards compatibility confirmed.
Interesting. I'm sort of excited to see what's in store for the new console.
I can just feel the excitement bursting from this topic.
Anyway, I watched most of the conference (was not expecting 2+ hours) and I have to say I'm excited and interested to see what else will come from the PS4 (which is official now). A lot of cool features, but those features will come at a cost. And I probably won't be willing to pay that cost. As I predicted, no backwards compatibility, but they did say that games from PS1, PS2, and PS3 will come through the Gaikai streaming service at some point.

Can I object!?
"I can just feel the excitement bursting from this topic."
Either sarcasm or you must be a fool...
I saw some of the conference
I might get the PS4 when it comes out if my pockets are shouting PS4 PS4
Quote from: Dark Boo on February 20, 2013, 10:03:48 PM
I thought it was pretty obvious, but there will always be someone.
The rumored price at the moment is $429 and $529 for two different models. Does anyone think that sounds right? Would you be willing to pay that amount? Do you think the product (from what we have seen) is worth that amount?

It's hard to tell considering how much we've seen. But the main reason why I don't buy Sony consoles is that they're too damn expensive.

I watched the whole conference and it was pretty good. The PS4 is gonna be a powerhouse console. Seeing as it's coming this holiday season (unless it's delayed), I'll pass on the Wii U for the PS4. Of course, that's assuming Microsoft isn't releasing the 720 near the same timeframe.
That price is just too dang high! I'm not a big fan of Sony consoles, but this does look pretty neat. The Wii U may have some competition!
Quote from: SuperZambezi on February 20, 2013, 10:10:20 PM
Not at all. I paid $300 or so for my Xbox last year and I nearly choked at the price. PS3 was $250. I'm not even going to entertain the thought of something that's $500.
$429 is the most I'm paying and even there it's too damn high for my liking. I could pay a great Laptop with that money. The price of a console shouldn't be over $300 imo. Something tells me I'll have to work hard this summer.

$500 is way too much, no console is worth that much in my eyes. As much as i want it I'm not going to waste my money on this.
But on the bright side, at least they decide to make the controller look like the PS2 version. I can't stand the PS3 controller, it is so loose and fragile.


Believe it or not, White Chicks wasn't actually supposed to be a movie at all. Yup, it's a shocker. As a matter of fact, the original project that eventually turned into White Chicks was a Gone With the Wind parody set in Beverly Hills. Sure, the film's origin story doesn't make much sense, but I don't question the kinds of people who cook up comedies starring two Wayans brothers playing said white chicks. They're dangerous.

Golley pleads not guilty
Omrie Golley
Omrie Golley who is facing charges of treason trial in Freetown high court No2 has pleaded not guilty. He made this disclosure while talking to Journalists after his case was adjourned. He lamented "I am a peaceful citizen of this country who has helped in bringing peace to this country and now I am deprived from it."
Golley who was speaking in a rather cold manner alleged that his case has taken18 months since the matter came to court and it has been adjourned 63 times.
Four times in two weeks he said we were not able to come to court.
The Prisons Officials will inform us that there is no police security, or there is no fuel for the vehicles.
He pointed out that sometimes they even come to court and when they are in the court room the matter will be adjourned.The accused complained that he has had access to justice and his health condition is getting worse every day.
"I need proper access to adequate and proper medical services for my illness" he said, adding "though I'm sick but I still manage to attend court for the sake of justice."
He alleged that he has been denied access by his family and that his wife's application for a visa to witness his trial was rejected.
It would be recalled that Omrie Golley, Alpha Bah and Mohamed Kai Tongi are facing charges of treason. They were arrested last year in January and charged to the Freetown Magistrate court No 1. The matter was later committed to the High court and Justice Ade Musu was the Presiding Judge.
Applications were made by the accused Lawyer Charles Margai that the presiding Judge should not sit over the matter.
Margai also made several applications for his client to be granted bail, and for Golley to have access to his doctor for medical check up.
Margai and other lawyers were changed and Justice Mary Serry is the Presiding Judge but she is out of the Jurisdiction.

Change of venue for U23's match against Millwall.
The Clarets' U23 Professional Development League game at home to Millwall on Monday 10th September, has been moved to Turf Moor with a 1:00pm kick off.
Michael Duff's side were originally supposed to face the Lions at the Tameside Stadium (Curzon Ashton).
The match is open to the public and season-ticket holders can gain free entry.


Based in the middle of the glorious Somerset countryside, the Cockers in the Country and I live with my very tolerant other half and our adorable Springer Spaniel Bracken.
We love trying out new things, meeting new people and trying new dog friendly places to stay. Both Cockers love the camera and its easy to get lovely photos of them!
Isla is my second Cocker Spaniel born 11th July 2010 I have had her since 8 weeks old. She has always been a bit of a diva and her favourite things to do are testing out dog beds, new toys and grooming products!
Jelli is Isla's daughter and was born 1st June 2017. Its been delightful having seen her grow up from day one and watch her experience things for the first time. She is a really confident little dog and has already learnt many tricks and behaviours. She is super cute and at the age of about 4 months was filmed for an advert for Pet Drugs Online.
The two girls make up the duo that is Cockers in the Country although Bracken our lovely Springer is also very willing to lend a paw when visiting places and testing or review new things!

Q: Linesegment-linesegment distance, the case when intersection point is outside both segments Christer Ericson Real-time collision detection section 5.1.9 lists four cases that can happen when computing the distance between two line-segments

*

*They overlap

*The intersection appears on one of the line segments

*The intersection appears outside both segments (shortest distance perpendicular to one of the segments)

*The intersection appears outside both segments (shortest distance is between endpoints)

Is it possible (how) to distinguish between (3) and (4) without trying all possible options? (3) is explained but not (4). Also, it doesn't look like there is any computation of the actual distance until last step in the code listening.

Graduation - the pocket is empty: the Briton appeared at the graduation ceremony in a garbage bag
Pictolic https://pictolic.com/en/article/graduation-the-pocket-is-empty-the-briton-appeared-at-the-graduation-ceremony-in-a-garbage-bag
Categories: Europe | World |
Graduation is a special day in life, and many people strive to look irresistible on it. Briton Will Radford (Will Radford) was able to surprise those present with an outfit at his graduation ceremony at the university. The guy came to the celebration wearing a garbage bag. And all because he didn't have enough money for an academic cap, a mantle and a cape.
23-year-old Will Radford appeared at the graduation ceremony in a garbage bag. A student of the Faculty of Photography at the University of Gloucestershire said he could not afford to buy a graduate's robe and hat worth 246 pounds (about 25,000 rubles).
The guy decided to find an alternative option and replaced the graduation outfit with a garbage bag. He believes that he has paid enough for the course of study, so he did not want to fork out for a mantle and a hat.
A suit from a garbage bag cost Will only 2 pounds (about 200 rubles). He completely covered his body, leaving only his hands and face outside.
The Briton received a bachelor's degree in photography. When he took the stage to receive his diploma, the audience burst into a storm of applause. The ceremony was broadcast online on YouTube.
Will told me that he hasn't been working anywhere for almost a year. He recently moved to a new place of residence, and he has only 100 pounds (about 10,000 rubles) left in his pocket. That's why the guy couldn't afford to buy a graduation gown. To pay for his studies, he borrowed 30,000 pounds (about 3 million rubles), but does not spare the money spent on education.
Meanwhile, the Philippine authorities decided to support the fight for the greening of the planet and adopted a new law obliging each graduate to plant 10 trees. Only after that, young people will be awarded diplomas or certificates.

Данцигский талер делился на 4 гульдена (злотых), каждый из которых в свою очередь делился на 30 грошей или 90 шиллингов (сольдо).

Как в 1772, так и в 1814 году данцигский талер был заменён в обращении на прусский талер.

Miquel Psel·los el Jove o Miquel Constantí Psel·los (Psellus, ) fou un escriptor bizantí del . Va néixer a Constantinoble el 1020, de família de rang consular i patrícia; als 5 anys va quedar sota un tutor que va detectar la seva laboriositat i talent; va estudiar a Atenes i fou un dels més intel·ligents del seu temps. Va ensenyar filosofia, retòrica i dialèctica a Constantinoble. L'emperador el va honorar amb el títol de «prínceps dels filòsofs» (. Sovint es considera que és la mateixa persona que Miquel Gramàtic () amb aquest nom se li atribueix Epigramma in Agathiam.

Va florir entre el regnat de Constantí IX Monòmac (1042-1054), l'emperadriu Teodora (1054-1056) i Miquel VI Estratiòtic. Aquest darrer li va encomanar una missió davant Isaac I Comnè, proclamat emperador pels soldats (1057). Va romandre en el favor de Comnè i del seu successor, Constantí X Ducas (1060) i l'emperadriu Eudòxia i els seus tres fills. Quan Romà IV Diògenes fou proclamat emperador pel seu enllaç amb Eudòxia (1068) Psel·los fou un dels seus consellers; al cap de tres anys (1071) el senat va deposar a Romà Diògenes i va proclamar Miquel VII Ducas (fill de Constantí Ducas) que era deixeble de Psel·los, i que es va dedicar més a l'estudi que als deures imperials; Psel·los fou substituït en el favor imperial per Joan Italià (Joannes Italus), home de menys talent però molt eloqüent i ben relacionat amb els nobles.

A la caiguda de Miquel VII, Psel·los (1078) va perdre tots els càrrecs per decisió del nou emperador Nicèfor III Botaniates, que el va obligar a retirar-se a un monestir; el següent emperador Aleix I Comnè va donar el títol de príncep dels filòsofs a Joan Italià (1081).

Psel·los va morir no abans del 1105, i potser va viure fins al tomb del 1110.

Pseudo-Psel·los
Antigament es creia que hi havia hagut un altre escriptor romà d'Orient amb el mateix nom, Miquel Psel·los el Vell (conegut actualment com a Pseudo-Psel·los), que hauria viscut a l'illa d'Andros al  i hauria estat deixeble de Foci I de Constantinoble i mestre de l'emperador Lleó VI el Filòsof. Alguns autors també es referien a Miquel Psel·los com «el Jove». Aquesta creença venia d'una entrada en una crònica medieval, la Σύνοψις Κεδρηνοῦ-Σκυλίτση, que esmenta el nom de Psel·los en aquest context. Avui en dia, el consens és que la inclusió del nom «Psel·los» en la crònica fou un error introduït per un copista d'una època posterior i que mai no existí el tal «Miquel Psel·los el Vell».

The long saga that was Deion Sanders's divorce ended Friday and he had no qualms celebrating the victory — with God.
I'd say Deion Sanders made a terrible decision divorcing Pilar, but you know he probably has some model lined up for another marriage already.
Marriage lasts forever — unless you are a musician, actor, athlete or 50 percent of the general population. In that case, it's time for a divorce.
The long saga that was Deion Sanders's divorce ended Friday and he had no qualms celebrating the victory— with God. The all-powerful, all-knowing deity apparently took special interest in the greatest cornerback of all time's separation. After the divorce was finalized, Sanders took to Twitter to thank all the appropriate parties.
Sanders was smart enough to sign a prenup and, as he helpfully informed us, he did not have to fork over much in the way of money to now ex-wife, Pilar. He also retained custody of his children, but as you can see from his tweet, that was secondary. It probably didn't hurt his case that Pilar, along with a friend, attacked him in April 2012 in front of their children.
He also had some love advice for those of you thinking about getting married.
"Yo flesh will lie until yo flesh die."

John Marden (9 April 1855 – 29 October 1924) was an Australian headmaster, pioneer of women's education, and Presbyterian elder.

Early life and training
Born in Prahran, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Marden was the fifth child of English parents, John Marden, a butcher, and his wife Catherine, née Murphy. He was educated at The Geelong College and the University of Melbourne, where he graduated as a Master of Arts in Mathematics and Physics.

While completing his law degree, Marden married a schoolteacher, Jane Armstrong at Cape Clear, on 20 December 1883. He also returned to his old school, The Geelong College, this time as a teacher under notable educator George Morrison, moving to the Methodist Ladies' College, Melbourne (M.L.C Melbourne) as a Science master three years later.

Career
In July 1887, the committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New South Wales advertised for an appropriate Principal for its new school, The Presbyterian Ladies' College in Sydney. Marden applied for the position and was unanimously selected "because of his high academic standing, his experience and success in teaching and his high Christian character."
He opened the school with 39 students on 30 January 1888, at Fernlea, a fourteen-roomed gentleman's residence in Ashfield (the current site of the Sydney Private Hospital), with Miss M. McCormick as lady superintendent. Together with the Committee set up by the Presbyterian Church in N.S.W for establishing P.L.C, he was responsible for organising the curriculum and hiring the appropriate staff.

In 1890, after his examination in jurisprudence, the University of Sydney conferred on him the degree of LL.D. That year the College had outgrown the Ashfield site, and so the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales purchased Shubra Hall, the home of Anthony Hordern III, at Croydon. Marden worked closely with Albert Bond, the architect of the new school, and was responsible for most of the ideas for the new buildings, based on what he had seen at M.L.C Melbourne. Keenly interested in horticulture, he also laid out impressive gardens and playing fields.

In 1916, due to the overwhelming popularity of the Presbyterian Ladies' College, and under Marden's guidance, the school bought  at Pymble for £15,000, and established a second campus, The Presbyterian Ladies' College, Pymble (now Pymble Ladies' College). Both campuses were administered by a single council until 1929. Marden was Headmaster of the two schools until ill health forced his resignation in 1919.

Marden administered both of his schools with firm discipline, kindness, understanding and generosity, and winning the respect and affection of his pupils, strongly influenced them. He was a strong believer in equal opportunity in education, and has been described as an "early feminist" and "truly a man before his time." He scorned the idea that P.L.C Croydon was some kind of finishing school for daughters of the wealthy, and was quoted as saying:
I am ... out of sympathy with the cry that education is unnecessary for girls, and that all they require is a few accomplishments. Women have also to live their life - in most cases a harder one than men have. This notion of accomplishments being sufficient for girls is surely a remnant of those barbarous days when women were looked on as the plaything of men.
He believed that women should share in opportunities for secondary and tertiary education, and also hold high Christian ideals. Although trained as a lawyer, he gave physics, chemistry and biology a prominent place at a time when few schools included much science in the curriculum. He also instituted a house system in both schools. In his later years he was assisted by a prominent educational innovator, Dr E. Neil McQueen, a scientist and an ardent advocate of the Dalton plan for education, who later succeeded him at the Croydon College.

Retirement and death
Upon his retirement in 1919, Marden purchased a residence at Wentworth Falls where he spent his leisure time and holidays, and exercised his horticultural skills. It was here that he also he became friendly with Peter Board, then director of education.

Marden was active in the Presbyterian Church, serving as an elder at Ashfield for 28 years, and for his last six years at Wentworth Falls. He died at Randwick on 29 October 1924 at 69 years of age, and was buried in South Head Cemetery. His wife, son and three daughters survived him.

Legacy
The Marden Memorial Library at the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney, Marden Boarding House at Pymble Ladies' College and Marden house are named after him.

LATIN AWARDS
Roberto Carlos and Carlos Santana to Be Honored at Billboard Latin Music Awards
4/3/2015 by Billboard Staff
Leo Aversa
Both artists will also perform at the awards show, airing live on Telemundo April 30 from Miami.
The Billboard Latin Music Awards will recognize the outstanding contributions of two giants at this year's ceremony.
Brazilian singer/songwriter Roberto Carlos will receive the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his outstanding career, and iconic guitarist Carlos Santana will be given the Spirit of Hope Award for his philanthropic and humanitarian contributions beyond his musical work.
Both artists also will perform at the awards ceremony, the longest-running and most prestigious awards show in the Latin music world, produced and broadcast live on Telemundo Thursday, April 30, at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT from BankUnited Center at the University of Miami in Florida.
The Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award is given to an artist for an exceptional career that has taken Latin music to another level globally. Roberto Carlos, with a musical career that spans over 50 years and more than 120 million albums sold around the world, has certainly earned the distinction. As one of the top-selling Latin artists in the world, he continues to be relevant for his artistic and personal contributions.
Carlos Santana to Keynote the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Conference
The journey of Roberto Carlos began in the 1960s, when he initiated a major music revolution in Brazil, reaching success in a period coinciding with the global youth movement started by The Beatles. Roberto Carlos was the leader of Jovem Guarda, and he led a TV show that became a generic denomination of a musical style that was a definitive change of face for Brazilian music. In the late '60s, Roberto Carlos changed his style to become the most successful romantic artist in Brazil, co-writing some of the most beautiful songs in this style, which would become Latin American classics, like "Detalles," "Jesus Cristo," "Emociones" and "Que Sera de Ti." By the late 1970s he had become the best-selling Brazilian musician in history.
In the '80s, Roberto Carlos began to record in English and French, having already released albums in Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, granting him a solid international career with top positions on Billboard's Latin charts. In 1986, he was a success at Radio City Music Hall in New York and three years later, won the first of his four Grammys, this time for best Latin American pop singer. In the 1990s, Roberto Carlos became the first Latin American artist to sell more albums than The Beatles.
The Spirit of Hope Award, created in honor of the late Selena, is given to an artist for his or her philanthropic and humanitarian contributions beyond their musical work. In 2015, the Spirit of Hope Award will be granted to Carlos Santana for his lifelong devotion to social activism and humanitarian causes, and in particular for his work on behalf of children through his Milagro Foundation. Originally established by Carlos Santana and his family in 1998, the Milagro Foundation benefits underserved and vulnerable children around the world by making grants to community based tax-exempt organizations that work with children in the areas of education, health and the arts. With funds generated by concert ticket donations, Santana licensed products and generous philanthropic partners and individual donors, Milagro has granted more than $5 million, supporting children and youth in the San Francisco Bay area, across the United States and in countries around the world.
Daddy Yankee, Carlos Vives, Among First Performers Announced for the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Awards
Delivered with a level of passion and soul equal to the legendary sonic charge of his guitar, Carlos Santana's music is a world-renowned signature. For more than four decades, from Santana's earliest days as a groundbreaking Afro-Latin-blues-rock fusion outfit in San Francisco, Carlos has been the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres and generational, cultural and geographical boundaries. For more than forty years and almost as many albums later, Santana has sold more than 100 million records and reached more than 100 million fans at concerts worldwide.
In addition to his performing duties at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, Carlos Santana will keynote the Billboard Latin Music Conference this year. The Mexican American icon will sit down with Billboard's Leila Cobo for an intimate conversation traversing his 40-plus years in the industry.
Among many honors, Carlos Santana received Billboard Latin Music Awards' 2009 Lifetime Achievement award, and, he was bestowed Billboard's Century Award in 1996. Santana's recent album Corazón -- his first Spanish-language one -- is a collaborative effort with the biggest names in Latin music including ChocQuibTown, Lila Downs, Gloria Estefan, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Juanes, Ziggy Marley, Miguel, Niña Pastori, Diego Torres, Samuel Rosa of Skank, Cindy Blackman Santana, Romeo Santos, Soledad, Wayne Shorter and others. Up for five awards this year, Corazón is certified U.S. Latin double platinum and was the top-selling Latin music album in the United States for six consecutive weeks.
The two special honorees join an exciting line-up of previously announced performers at this year's Billboard Latin Music Awards, including Wisin, Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Carlos Vives, Julion Alvarez y Su Norteño Banda, Ana Gabriel, and Lucero.
Fans can follow the excitement of the star-studded event on Twitter and Instagram (@LatinBillboards) and Facebook.com/LatinBillboards, and join the conversation using #Billboards2015.

Dr. House, I know the chances are very slim, but I'm sure you recognize.
Mark, you've got to. I don't want to take that test, not until they're sure.
He said he went to Paris, and the PET confirms it. So, what?
You know, check out the engine before we take the car for a drive.
It means we're still not sure what's causing the neurological problems.
Send off a urine antigen and check if he's joined the Elks. Next?
I'm not sure scaring your boyfriend is the best medicine for him right now.

No, I don't. Well, maybe you're right, but I have the lab result says you do.
Better go with him. Make sure he doesn't snap and hurt somebody.

Oliver Ranch
Edited with text by Joan Simon. Introduction by Neal Benezra.
The ongoing project that Steve and Nancy Oliver have developed over the last 30 years has no obvious parallel in the history of art collecting. Beginning in 1985, their ranch in Northern California has been the site for dozens of commissions, site-specific and permanent outdoor works, by some of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. The likes of Bruce Nauman, Richard Serra, Ann Hamilton, Martin Puryear, Andy Goldsworthy and many others have constructed works, with the active support of the Olivers. Oliver Ranch is the first published look at one of the greatest collections of outdoor sculpture in the world (open to the public only during the fall and spring for organized groups). Including a major essay plus individual texts on each commission by Joan Simon, and filled with interviews, artist statements, plans, archival photographs and stunning new photography, this book charts the history of the project through each commission, through the eyes of the artists and the Olivers.

Wanting to top up the meat, I stopped off in a Turkish supermarket on the way home and investigated the sausages. I plumped for a large thick baton style of beef sausage, as they had always intrigued me in the past. I also bought some sauerkraut, some American beans with chilli and some pitta bread for mopping.
The pitta bread unfortunately made me think of kebabs all the way home, so much so that the first thing I ate was about eight slices of the sausage fried with savoy cabbage and then heaped into a pitta with a couple of pickled chillis and drenched in West Indian Hot Sauce. It was super num num, but I had come to the realization that the beef sausage was a bit bland, and not wholly unlike spam*. Still the rest of the fried cabbage and some hefty chunks of sausage were thrown into MY BIG POT with two forkfuls of sauerkraut, a carrot, a bit more cabbage and as per yesterdays suggestion: some rosemary. Half a glass of wine was tossed in and it went back in the over for half an hour.
It was one of those night where you foody hankerings take over, and since I was still feelin' middle eastern, I decided to serve the stew on couscous. I made too much weak chicken stock for the CC, and then dumped the rest in the POT. Squeeze of lemon on CC and in Pot, a few leavers chopped (slightly manky) flat leaf parsley stolen from flatmates drawer (enough so she would not notice) and I was away.
CONCLUSION: As I had already eaten the "kebab" I did not eat much of the stew, and went mainly for beans and vegetables. The liquor was now more astringent and pungent, which was just as well as much of the meat was starting to lose its flavour. Note to self, meat loses flavour when boiled lots. The new sausage crisped nicely in places, but it was the cabbage and sauerkraut which were really coming into their own with the beans. It soaked into the couscous nicely, and the squirt of lemon was most revivicating. What's more, with the extra ingredients there was more at the end, than there was at the beginning.
*This would normally be a good thing in my book.


Recommended bets for today follow.
With the launch of the new Rug Challenge report, we'll have a close look at the rugs challenge today. With a bit of research and some patience, it can be a great way to find some value – and the new report takes away 90% of the hard work.
Zara Zara looks well placed to get the day off to a good start. She maps to be the obvious leader from box 3 with the only pressure coming from wider in box 6. She has run the best two opening splits and has two of the best three closing sectionals over the last month. She should get to the lead and then be strong enough to hold on.
The main challenges are Bigtime Hunter (7) and White Comet (2). The Bigtime dog maps to get back and hasn't won in 10 starts over the distance – in my mind, that stat makes him very much unders at $2.70FF (opened at $2.60). White Comet has a great closing sectional but maps to get well back as is his custom. Will come up strongly no doubt. Azandei could also spice up exotics.
Zara Zara opened at $2.30 and has come into $2.20. I rate her as a $2 chance so still value.
Tough one here – hard to know whether to laugh or cry. Let's have a cry first. The favourite jumped and ran and had no excuses. So we'll take that on the chin. However, we did manage to pick the trifecta and it paid massive overs. Plus our box challenge will get a boost out of that. Still, would have been been nice to see ZZ go on with it.
The bookies have Sub Eighteen a clear favourite at $2.40. However the Predictor has him rated in the second half of the field.
Every race he's won, he's lead at every marker. Twice at Hatrick over the longer 520m he's been run down. So he will need to have a clear uncontested lead to win but the map shows he will have a real challenge with the dog on his inside. Sub Eighteen is also very recently up in class – yes, the form looks good but last month he was running around in C1 classes and today is his second crack at C3. His ratings show that two – he's one of 4 dogs in the field that hasn't rated better than 50 in their last starts. So at that price, I just think he is far too short.
I like the look of Bigtime Joshy (2) and Mikachu (7). Both have strong ratings over recent ratings and Joshy as we've noted maps to be on the pace and potentially get to the rail. To be fair, there are other chances too which makes Sub Eighteen a real risk and very happy to label him the lay of the day, especially at that price.
We've just released a new report – Rugs Challenge. At this stage, the data is taken straight from the Predictor but that's a nice way to get a high level snapshot of the races.
Unlike all other multi leg bet types, the bookies update the odds after every race so there is an element of strategy at play as well. If you think a rug will be stronger earlier in the card than later, then get on the bookies opening odds. If it does collect the points, the odds will undoubtedly come in. Conversely, if you think a rug will perform stronger in later in the card, you can be rewarded for backing the rug after a race or two.
With a minimum of $1, you can also spread your bets especially in the case that you go into the last race with a live bet and the bookies are offering attractive odds on other rugs. So it's possible to cover rugs and guarantee a collect.
For today, we'll operate on a nominal $10 spend and $1 units. You can use the $1 unit to equate to your own budget.
The rugs challenge report pretty much agrees with the bookies on the three main chances – boxes 3,4,7. I rate box 4 (blue on top) and while I've made box 3 the bet of the day in R2, I've also labelled box 3 as the lay of the day in R9. Box 3 and 4 both look a little stronger later in the card – box three looks to have one solid early chance (Zara Zara our best bet) but nothing more until race 6. So I'm happy to take the risk and leave box 3 out with the view that the odds will be better later in the card.
I do live box 4 but box 7 looks to have realistic chances across the most races.
If either box wins, we clear a profit without any further bets. I'll update this post after each race.
Update after r1: No points for 3,4 or 7 but box 3 has come in to $1.90 while box 4 is out to $7.50. Conflicted next race but we will be on 3 in the next.
After R2: bet of the day missed but box 3 is now out to $2.50. Box 4 out to $9 with a great chance in R3 to get on the board.
After R3: not the best outcome – 4 started well but seemed to get a check and lost ground and its chance before making ground late. Still not out of it though – seven races to go.
After R4: Bookies and Predictor both on the mark – Predictor got 1-2-3 in order in 1. Box 3 missed again as predicted and is now out over $3. Time for box 4 to make its mark!
After R5: yes, we needed that but a comfortable win and 3 points in the rugs challenge with an odds on chance in the next. Box 7 picked up another point too.
After R6: yes again, two from two but we wouldn't have wanted 411 m. Bookies have box 4 as second fav now with box 1 a clear favourite. Box 3 opened at $2.60 I think – now out to $16!
After R7: well well well, three in a row and box 4 now leads. The Predictor suggests that box 1 will struggle to threaten from here and I'm taking the risk on Sub Eighteen. We have three chances to collect points and I wouldn't rule out Sam in r10 – he's second rated. I think box 2 could potentially win the next 2 which would put it on 11 points so I'm going to put $2 on box 2 at $7.50 for a return of $15. So far we have invested $8.
After R8: It's going to be tight unless Brandy can surprise in the next. I still think 1 will struggle to catch up so really it comes down to the lay of the day. If the 3 gets beaten in the next as I'm hoping, 3 can't beat box 4 and we just need to pick up another point. That leaves 2 and 7 as the main dangers. If Brandy could snare a point, that would undoubtedly help.
After R9: Not the result we wanted but we are still a live chance. Unfortunately, we need to come ahead of the odds on favourite but stranger things have happened. Actually I got that a little wrong – the favourite has to win to take the honours – maximum points for 3 is 10. If the blue rug can finish third or better we'll at the very least share the spoils.
After R10: Gutted! We were nutted by the red rug. Tough result but almost. Back again next Monday.


The Sarajevo restaurant, Dunja (on Avde Sumbula 3), through its collaboration with the organization, Hagada, has included Bosnian Sephardic dishes on its menu, which are prepared according to Kosher dietary rules.
Hagada is a Sarajevo organization that works to preserve Jewish culture and traditions in BiH and, in order to offer Sephardic foods to Sarajevo residents and visitors, they have trained the staff of Dunja in how to prepare the items.
At this location, it will now be possible to find foods like zucchini and spinach patties, eggs that have been simmered for 24 hours in a mixture of onions and spices, rolls, domestic cheeses, as well as kosher wine…, all of which have been selected by the rabbinate.
Kosher food is prepared in a special way, using as many pure ingredients as possible which are obtained through natural methods, without using industrial production. Meat and dairy products must be kept separated, and special containers are used for both.
Bosnian Sephardic cuisine reflects a combination of Bosnian and Spanish-Mediterranean dishes, with certain Jewish touches, which are specific only to the Sephardic Jews of BiH.
Hagada has published the Bosnian Sephardic Cuisine, which features 120 dishes, with recipes that go back 500 years, when Sephardic Jews brought them from Spain. The book is available for purchase in the Hagada souvenir shop at Branilaca Sarajeva 24.


The official announcement of iPhone 8 is about a month away. What we are most interested in are, of course, the cameras, and it seems there could be some interesting novelties in the latest model of iPhone.
Judging from the report on Brazilian website iHelp BR, the latest Apple's phone could shoot 4K video on both rear and front camera. And what's more, both cameras will shoot 4K at 60fps.
At the moment, the rear camera of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus captures 4K video at 30fps. As for the front camera, its maximum resolution is 1080p at 30 fps. If the leaked specs are true, there could be serious improvements in the upcoming model.
Although we still can't confirm whether or not 60fps 4K on both cameras is coming in iPhone 8, these features are undoubtedly in the code. With only about a month till the official release, I guess we won't need to wait for the confirmation much longer.
So that is about £1200 by the time rip off Britain has bumped price up.

Authorities have released the names of the victims killed when police say an intoxicated driver went off the road and hit them.
Jayna Kelley, Autumn Helgeson and Haylee Hickle were the three Girl Scouts killed in the incident Saturday in Lake Hallie. Haylee's mother Sara Schneider was also killed. A fourth girl was in the hospital in critical condition.
Jayna and Autumn went to Halmstad Elementary School and Haylee went to Southview, in the Chippewa Falls district.
The girls were working on a Girl Scouts service project, cleaning up the highway, when the driver's pickup truck went into the ditch off Highway 29. He's accused of huffing before getting in the car. Police say he initially drove away after the incident, but later turned himself in.
The community has started a GoFundMe page to support the Chippewa Falls Girl Scout troop #3055. Money raised will go to funeral costs and medical expenses. Any leftover money will be used to start a memorial fund.

The Marrel roll-offs AL 20 DIN 60 (installed on a VOLVO FH16 6x2L EURO 6 with wheelbase 4800 + 1370 mm) and AL 6 DIN 29 (installed on an IVECO Daily 70C17K with wheelbase 3450 mm) dominated Fassi's stand. The AL 20 sturdy tipper roll-off caisson, almost fully mechanic and with a 20-ton carrying capacity, ensures a quick and adjustable coupling, as well as a closure facing inward or outward thanks to its interchangeable hooks. With a 6-ton carrying capacity, the roll-off AL 6 D 29 proved to be an equally interesting product for the construction, agricultural and recycling sectors; moreover, the electronic control unit is solid and compact.
The cranes include the brand new Fassi F165AZ, featuring an innovative design that allows the reversed folding of the outer boom. Not only does this new model reflect Fassi's construction philosophy, but it also represents a solution capable of improving the performance of the crane itself, without neglecting product reliability. For the first time, the booms can be moved through a single chain ram assembled inside the outer boom: this makes it possible to optimize use of the available space, so that all hydraulic hoses fit inside the boom.
In collaboration with the Cranab company, Fassi also introduced a crane for the forestry sector. The model on display offered an overview of the technology and high performance offered by the Swedish equipment.
Baltimore-based Fascan International, the U.S. distributor of Italian-based Fassi Articulating Cranes, announced today that it will have several models of new knuckleboom cranes and control/safety systems on display at CONEXPO, Booth 2736, on March 4-8, 2014 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nevada.
• The F120B.2.25, a light-duty articulating crane that expands on the capabilities of the F120B, including double links and five hydraulic extensions as opposed to previously featured four.
• The Fassi Stability Control (FSC) system, which automatically limits crane operation when it senses that pre-set stability conditions have not been met.
Fassi brings custom, quality solutions to lifting challenges of every size. Fascan and its partners have adapted Fassi cranes to a variety of truck frames for use in a variety of industries including mass transit, utilities, telecommunications, agriculture, oil and gas market and more.
The goal of Fassi technology is to provide all its products with added value in their various aspects: from mechanical solutions to hydraulic functions up to electronic systems, without forgetting after-sales services.
Research and Development are crucial elements of Fassi's world, the foundations of the construction philosophy that guides the company towards increasingly demanding challenges, in order to develop solutions capable of anticipating the needs of the market. In fact, the company firmly believes that innovation means looking to the future without overlooking the present.
Fascan will have their full team of sales representatives available to answer questions about the company's newest equipment and safety components.
Fassi Gru, world leader in the crane sector, will take part for the first time at the IFAT, the most important international tradeshow for the recycling sector, scheduled to take place in Munich from May 5th until the 9th. Now in its 25th edition, IFAT has always been a prestigious meeting venue for the recycling world, a chance to show off the most innovative solutions to sector professionals from all over the world.
An event that in 2012 involved 2939 operators representing 54 different countries, and attracted 125,000 visitors from 180 countries.
The Fassi group stand will be in Outdoor Area F7, Stand 714/4 Side 14/14, and will cover a total surface of 196 square metres. Fassi Gru S.p.A., together with Cranab AB and Marrel SAS, will present itself to the market during this important event. A debut for a group with a total turnover of almost 200 million of Euro and a workforce of almost 800 employees. Three brands, leaders in their respective sectors, that have decided to combine their strengths to offer their best in a variety of product solutions.
The stand will display important new products. The Fassi F165AZ, recently introduced at the Solutrans 2013 tradeshow held in Lyon, two Marrel roll-offs, and a cranab's loader crane model.
All these products feature specific solutions for specific needs in the area of handling of the recycling and scrap materials logistical sector. These equipments, combined with advanced electronic control and performance improvement systems, can offer excellent efficiency and consequently higher profitability.


DD+D will give a talk at UXMasterclass Conference 2011 from miaoqi Zhu on Vimeo.
Byron presented at this year's UXMaterclass Conference on Friday, September 16 at the Field Museum. Please find above and below a description of the session and feedback from participants.
Designers don't always have the luxury of getting to talk with users. In fact, sometimes designers only rely on personas when developing ideas. But if personas are to be useful, then designers must step into the shoes of users to gain the insight and empathy needed to create engaging experiences. Byron's workshop exhibits acting methodology to draw this connection between user research data, user personas, and design.
He will enthusiastically demonstrate how designers benefit from going back to the theatrical traditions to enhance their character and story development skills. Byron will also increase the understanding and application of theater techniques that aid in the development of more life-like personas than those that merely exist on paper. Leading the Dramatic Diversity team, Byron takes a two-dimensional representation of a customer and brings it to life, eliminating user frustration and increasing ease, enjoyment and engagement in all design elements.
"I tend to be skeptical about "exercises" like this, but I think done well , it could be a great way to get a team reconnected with personas they've been using over time. Also a great way to onboard new team members to existing personas. And for promoting adoption to other teams within an organization."
"Very engaging presenter. Got me thinking about how I could potentially apply this approach within my team. Would recommend to my company where appropriate."
"It taught me to go deeper with personas to find the emotional layer."
"Byron enthusiastically presented the material and interacted with the audience suggestions."
"The speaker brought real examples to demonstrate the usefulness of The Method."
"Thought it was great - just the right level of detail for the time limit and the audience. And it was great to engage the audience instead of just talk!"

I have wrote this code in IAR embedded workbench software for ARM controller, but it's not giving me accurate answer, can anyone tell me why??
"when i am entering 3. it's giving me 0 answer".

A: You are just doing your calculation with integer and assign afterwards to a float value. This will remove the digits after the decimal point.
Try this:
jeo=(1.0/(1.0+decade));

A: You are assigning the result of an integer division to jeo. In this case, if decade is any integer other than 0, the result of integer division will be 0. (Note: If decade is -1, you will have undefined behavior as a result of division by 0)

When the type after usual arithmetic conversions is an integer type, the result is the algebraic quotient (not a fraction), rounded in implementation-defined direction (until C99)truncated towards zero (since C99)

So make either the numerator or the denominator a float.
jeo=((float)1/float(1+decade);

A: Try this
jeo=1/(1+float(decade));

this is because when trying to employ an integer in a logical expression like that, the result is calculated in integer first then converted to float. This procedure ,of course, removes the digits after the decimal point and adds artificial 0s.

Theological perspectives on accounting: worldviews don't change overnight

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the 2004 AAAJ special issue (SI): "Accounting and theology, an introduction: Initiating a dialogue between immediacy and eternity," the relative immediate impact of the call for papers and the relevance of the theme to address issues in accounting today and in the future.
The paper is a reflection and is framed around three different modes of engagement with new perspectives as identified by Orlikowski (2015). These are religion as phenomenon, as perspective and as a worldview. The authors draw on Burrell and Morgan's (1979) framework in order to explore the ontological and epistemological blinkers that have limited the attempts to explore accounting from a theological perspective.
The paper argues that historical and current structures can limit the manner in which accounting research uses theological perspectives. Indeed, the concerns of the initial SI remain – that the contemporary economic and knowledge system is in crisis and alternative ways of questioning are required to understand and respond to this system.
As a reflection, this paper is subject to limitations of author bias relating to our beliefs, ethnicities and culture. The authors have sought to reduce these by drawing on a wide range of sources, critical analysis and the input of feedback from other scholars. Nevertheless, the narrative of impact remains a continuing story.
In drawing on both an original SI guest editor and a scholar for whom the 2004 SI has become a touchstone and springboard, this paper provides multiple viewpoints on the issue of accounting and theology.

State investments and human rights? The case of the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global

The purpose of this paper is to explore how the Norwegian Government incorporated its responsibility for human rights into the investment practices of its Global Pension Fund and how human rights issues were negotiated when exclusion was considered.
Drawing on a series of interviews the authors analyse the way in which responsibility for human rights has been translated into the practices of the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global.
The paper documents how a large investment fund used several mechanisms to address human rights risks. The authors demonstrate that different logics among actors sometimes impeded addressing human rights issues. The findings demonstrate that sovereign wealth funds (SWF) can be held accountable for human rights.
The paper illustrates the difficulty of co-operation between actors with different logics. This can result in institutional conflict, but also in positive outcomes for human rights.
Attempts to introduce human rights into state investments may result in increased institutional complexity. The findings indicate that state investors can address human rights issues, but that the ability to do so is diminished where divestment creates political tension.
Large investors can influence companies on specific human rights issues.
This is one of the first empirical investigations of the human rights practices of a SWF. The authors contribute to the literatures on accounting and human rights, SWF and institutional theory.

Strong structuration and carbon accounting: A position-practice perspective of policy development at the macro, industry and organizational levels

The purpose of this paper is to utilize the three abstract-concrete levels of ontology of strong structuration theory (strong ST) to examine how, and to what extent, was the development of carbon accounting frameworks at the policy, industry, and organizational levels enabled by external structures as conditions of action, that is, what was the nature of active agency within a field of position-practice relations that led to the development of these frameworks.
A case study was undertaken drawing upon interviews that were undertaken between 2008 and 2011 at the industry and organizational levels as well as documentary evidence relating to carbon accounting policy development at the macro, or policy level.
The parliamentary committee hearings into the development of the carbon price legislation represented fields of position-practice relationships which highlighted the interplay of the internal structures, capabilities and the roles of both power and trust of the agent(s)-in-focus. A meso-level analysis of the Victorian water industry highlighted how it was able to mediate the exercise of power by the macro level through the early adoption of carbon accounting frameworks. At the ontic or micro level of the individual water business, the development of a greenhouse strategy was also the outcome of position-practice relationships which highlighted the interplay of the internal structures and dispositions of the agent(s)-in-focus. The position-practice relationships at both the industry and organizational level were characterized by both soft power and trust.
Future research could investigate how the withdrawal of the carbon pricing mechanism in Australia has affected the development of carbon accounting practices whilst overseas research could examine the extent to which carbon accounting frameworks were the outcome of position-practice relationships.
Given the global significance of carbon accounting, this paper provides an overview as to how the early adoption of voluntary carbon accounting practices resulted in a reduction in carbon emissions within the water industry and therefore limited its liability for the carbon price.
This paper illustrates how the strong ST ontological concept of position-practices can be utilized at the macro, meso, and ontic levels and how these relationships mediated the impact of the carbon price upon both the water industry and the individual water business.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a number of important recent developments in the area of business and human rights and considers the impact of these developments for accounting, assurance and reporting. Following the UN endorsement of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (the Guiding Principles) in June 2011, initiatives related to their implementation have advanced at a rapid pace. Despite the centrality of accounting, assurance and reporting to some of the key initiates – accounting research has, hitherto, lagged behind this growing momentum. In order to address this lacunae, this paper develops an agenda for future research in the area of accounting and human rights. In doing so, the paper provides an overview of the important contributions advanced by the other papers in this special issue of Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal (AAAJ).
This paper draws together and identifies key issues and themes related to the rapidly evolving research and policy domain of business and human rights and considers the relevance of these issues to accounting research.
The paper highlights the wide-ranging impact the Guiding Principles and other developments in business and human rights have for accounting practice and draws attention to potential areas of research for accounting scholars. In particular, the paper highlights the emergence of business and human rights due diligence requirements, including their management and reporting. Further, the paper draws attention to the development of business and human rights reporting and assurance practice – which, while still in its infancy, has gathered considerable momentum and support.
The paper provides important insights into emerging issues and developments in business and human rights that have clear relevance to accounting research and practice.
This paper, and the other contributions to this special issue of AAAJ, provide a basis and a research agenda for accounting scholars seeking to undertake research in this significant and emerging field.

Expanding upon the special issue entitled "The special issue: AAAJ and research innovation", published in 2012, this introduction to the second special issue of the genre is concerned with selected thematic special issues of AAAJ appearing during the second decade of publication from 1998 to 2007. The paper explores research innovation by means of the thematic issues addressed from this decade.
This paper provides a background to this special issue and an outline of the articles included. The issue features seven retrospective/prospective articles written by the guest editors of special thematic issues published during 1998 to 2007, supplemented where appropriate by other co-authors or, in one instance, by a new author team.
The guest editors and other contributing authors sought to identify and discuss the progression of each field since the AAAJ special issue was published, and to assess the impacts of the special issues to this progression, and to propose future research developments in the designated fields.
This commentary on articles published is no substitute for carefully reading these contributions. The papers provide a comprehensive review of key developments in the literature until most recently and explore the opportunities for further innovative interdisciplinary accounting research.
This AAAJ special issue, and the earlier 2012 prototype, constitute a different approach to producing special issues, where the original special issues are revisited with a view to assessing research trends and impacts and to identifying research developments which are ripe for pursuing in each of these interdisciplinary accounting fields.

Should the international accounting standards board have responsibility for human rights?

The purpose of this paper is to explore the basis for, and ramifications of, applying relevant human rights norms – such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights – to the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In doing so, the paper seeks to contribute to scholarship on the political legitimisation of the IASB's structure and activities under prevailing global governance conditions.
The paper explores three distinct argumentative logics regarding responsibilities for justice and human rights vis-à-vis the IASB. First, the authors explore the basis for applying human rights responsibilities to the IASB through reasoning based on the analysis of "public power" (Macdonald, 2008) and public authorisation. Second, the authors develop the reasoning with reference to recent attempts by legal scholars and practitioners to apply human rights obligations to other non-state and transnational institutions. Finally, the authors develop reasoning based on Thomas Pogge's (1992b) ideas about institutional harms and corresponding responsibilities.
The three distinct argumentative logic rest on differing assumptions – the goal is not to reconcile or synthesise these approaches, but to propose that these approaches offer alternative and in some ways complementary insights, each of which contributes to answering questions about how human rights obligations of the IASB should be defined, and how such a responsibility could be "actually proceduralised".
The analysis provides an important starting point for beginning to think about how responsibilities for human rights might be applied to the operation of the IASB.

Corporate respect for human rights: meaning, scope, and the shifting order of discourse

Drawing on Fairclough (1989, 2005), the purpose of this paper is to explore how respect for human rights is emerging and being operationalized in the discourse of 30 Fortune 500 companies in the mining, pharmaceutical and chemical industries at two key points in the recent evolution of the UN's business and human rights agenda. Specifically the paper explores the scope of rights for which corporations are accountable and, more specifically, the degree of responsibility a company assumes for enacting these rights.
The authors draw on Fairclough (1992) and Mashaw (2007) in a critical discourse analysis of corporate human rights disclosures of ten companies in each of the chemical, mining and pharmaceutical industries at two points in time coinciding with: first, the publication in 2008 of the Protect, Respect, Remedy policy framework; and second, the endorsement by the UN in 2011, of a set of Guiding Principles designed to implement this framework.
The study finds four grammars of respect and three different scopes of rights within specific corporate accountably disclosures on their responsibility to respect rights. Corporate constructions of human rights are broad: from labour rights, through social and political rights, to the right to health and a clean environment. The corporate discourse is one of promoting, realizing and upholding rights that construct the corporation as an autonomous source of power beyond the state.
The paper contends that the structuring of this emerging discourse is important, not only because the meaning and scope of corporate respect for rights affects the lived experience of some of the most vulnerable in society, but also because it reflects a shifting the relationship between the state, business and society (Muchlinski 2012).
The authors develop a way of conceptualizing business human rights responsibilities and contend that the corporate human rights discourse of respect reflects a significant reconfiguration of political power.

Constructing a research network: accounting knowledge in production
Vassili Joannidès and Nicolas Berland
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the sociology‐of‐science type of accounting literature, addressing how accounting knowledge is established, advanced and extended.
The research question is answered through the example of research into linkages between accounting and religion. Adopting an actor‐network theory (ANT) approach, the paper follows the actors involved in the construction of accounting as an academic discipline through the controversies in which they engage to develop knowledge.
The paper reveals that accounting knowledge is established, advanced and developed through the ongoing mobilisation of nonhumans (journals) who can enrol other humans and nonhumans. It shows that knowledge advancement, establishment and development is more contingent on network breadth than on research paradigms, which appear as side‐effects of positioning vis‐à‐vis a community.
The originality of this paper is twofold. First, ANT is applied to accounting knowledge, whereas the accounting literature applies it to the spread of management accounting ideas, methods and practices. Second, an original methodology for data collection is developed by inviting authors from the network to give a reflexive account of their writings at the time they joined the network. Well diffused in sociology and philosophy, such an approach is, albeit, original in accounting research.

Face work in annual reports: A study of the management of encounter through annual reports, informed by Levinas and Bauman

Annual reporting has moved from the conveyance of "simple" accounting numbers and more towards narrative, graphical, pictorial and broader aesthetic content conveyance. At the same time, there has been a small but growing discussion of the work of Emmanuel Levinas and Zygmunt Bauman and in particular the ethic of the Other. The aim of this paper is to explore the presence of faces in annual reports.
Based on initial observations from the analysis of human representations in the annual reports of 14 companies for all years 1989 to 2003 (210 annual reports), the paper interprets the increase from a Levinasian perspective, drawing substantially from Bauman's articulation of Levinas' ethic of the Other. Particularly within the work of Levinas, this ethic is articulated through the nakedness of the face. Analysis is partly performed through illustration of the site of audiencing, a key visual methodology, in annual report images.
A significant rise in total human representation over time is interpreted in Levinasian terms and the range of sites of audiencing is demonstrated. Arguments are discussed that suggest a counter‐hegemonic understanding of the corporations' responsibility to the Other.
The paper provides a critical analysis of what this kind of face work means within the context of Levinas' ethics of the Other. The paper explores what this kind of face work means for the possibility of Levinasian‐inspired moral development and the potential for a counter‐hegemonic face work that may promote accountability.

MLB Hot Stove rumors: Phillies showing interest in SP Jake Arrieta, 3B Manny Machado
By Matt Mullin
For the last few years, the Phillies have more or less been an afterthought during MLB's hot stove season. As a team in the midst of a full-on rebuild, that's most definitely been by design.
#PhilsQuestions: On trading infielders, Rule 5 predictions, expectations for Kapler, and more
A trio of names for the final vacancy on the Phillies coaching staff
Prized baseball star Shohei Ohtani might not even be aware Phillies exist
That could change in the not-so-distant future, however, with the organization preparing to take its next step forward. And with each step inching the team closer to being competitive (and ultimately a contender), the names of free agents and trade targets being linked to the Phillies will become more an more interesting.
And even though the team is coming off its 5th-straight losing season, we're already beginning to see evidence of this.
On Tuesday, a day after the Phillies waded into hot stove season by signing former reliever Pat Neshek to a multi-year deal, reports began to emerge of the team's interest in Cubs starter Jake Arrieta, as well as Orioles third baseman Manny Machado.
Today, we'll take a look specifically at those two players and how they fit (or don't fit) into the Phillies plan moving forward.
Phillies are considering Jake Arrieta. Not perfect match since they are a year from possible contention but many of their execs know him well from when they were with the Orioles.
Heyman is right that Arrietta wouldn't be a "perfect match" for the Phillies, although I think he forget an "S" at the end of "year."
Why it makes sense
Mark Pulishuk | MLBTradeRumors
Let's be honest, the Phillies are at least two or three years from being a legit contender, barring a spending spree next winter the likes of which we've never seen – not even under Ruben Amaro, Jr. So it makes little to no sense to sign a 31-year-old free agent who has seen his numbers decline each of the last two seasons after winning the AL Cy Young in 2015.
That being said, a case can be made that signing Arrieta now would be a clear indication to future free agents that the Phillies are ready to start winning some games again.
While the Phils are still rebuilding, it has been widely assumed that the team will begin to spend to its usual levels as early as next winter, when several superstar free agents will hit the market. Signing Arrieta now would serve as a clear signal that the Phillies are ready to compete, plus having Arrieta in the fold would also serve as a good selling point to next year's free agent crop. Philadelphia is also sorely in need of rotation help now, so the team could be deciding on making a big splash now when an ace they like is on the market, rather than test the trade or free agent waters in a year's time. On the other hand, Arrieta would cost the Phils their second-highest draft pick and $500K in international bonus pool funds, as Arrieta rejected the Cubs' qualifying offer.
The Brewers, Rockies, Twins, Blue Jays, Rangers, Astros, and Nationals have all expressed some degree of interest in Arrieta's services, and Theo Epstein said yesterday that he would check in with Scott Boras, Arrieta's agent, about the possibility of a return to the Cubs. [mlbtraderumors.com]
Why it probably won't happen
Matt Gelb | The Philadelphia Inquirer
Of course, the Phillies are hardly the only team showing interest in the veteran righty, who is represented by Scott Boras. And when you consider the philosophy being preached by the front office, it doesn't seem like a move the team would be willing to make at the moment.
The Phillies have operated this offseason on the principle that there is not one move — or two or three moves — that can morph them into contenders for the 2018 season. The circumstances should be different next winter when, coincidentally, a touted free-agent class will be available.
This offseason, they appear willing to add maybe one or two innings-eaters to the current group of young starters, whether it be through a trade or a one-year contract. A source said the Phillies were interested in righthander Tyler Chatwood and made a multi-year offer before he signed a three-year, $38 million contract with the Chicago Cubs last week. They will not spend on a Jake Arrieta or Yu Darvish. They question whether Alex Cobb and Lance Lynn represent enough of an upgrade to commit four or five years. [philly.com]
While the phillies love Manny Machado (most of their top execs were with the orioles at 1 time), they acknowledge they aren't a great trade match because he has only 1 year to go and they aren't a likely contender. Inclined to give Franco 1 more try.
Geez. What is it about the Phillies showing interest in guys who aren't good matches?
Roch Kubato | MASNsports.com
Unlike Arrieta, Machado isn't going to simply require a financial commitment from the Phillies; he's also going to cost them some prospects. That's because the 25-year-old infielder is still under contract for a year, so he'd be coming to the Phillies via a trade – and then hopefully signing an extension.
Still, the Phillies are reportedly "one of the more interested parties and the Orioles have been doing their homework on the club's farm system in case talks become serious."
According to Kubato, the Orioles like top pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez, top second base prospect Scott Kingery and current shortstop Freddy Galvis. The first two would likely be tough to pry away from the Phillies. The third, however, would actually make a lot of sense assuming the team is ready to turn that position over to J.P. Crawford moving forward.
A trade also would require a 72-hour window for the Phillies to sign Machado to an extension. Otherwise, he's a potential rental and the haul for him is reduced.
I ran the names past a scout from another organization who dismissed the chances that the Phillies would part with this much young talent, but it's worthy of discussion on Day One of the meetings. And the connection between the teams is obvious with so many former Orioles officials now with the Phillies. [masnsports.com]
Why it probably won't happen (yet)
Jim Salisbury | NBC Sports Philadelphia
Bringing Machado in would mean the Phillies are giving up on current third baseman Maikel Franco, who hasn't quite lived up to the hype that surrounded him when he was first called up a few years ago. Still, GM Matt Klentak wants to give his core players a chance to fully develop.
Oh, and waiting a year could allow the Phillies to sign Machado without having to give up any of their top prospects.
It makes much more sense for the Phillies to try to sign Machado as a free agent next winter rather than surrender prospects — and ultimately big cash in the form of an extension — for him this winter. But if the Orioles create a market for Machado this winter, the Phillies will be in on it. At the moment, all is quiet.
It's no secret that the Phillies have deep pockets and no secret that they will spend big on top talent like Machado once their rebuild gets into the red zone. Klentak confirmed that again on Monday.
"There will come a time when we are one piece away and that one piece is a fill in the blank — starting pitcher, closer, cleanup hitter — and in that moment, when we feel that we are one piece away, or two pieces away, that's when we open up the wallet and we go do what we need to do," he said. "But for right now, we are on the cusp of getting to where we want to go, to developing this next young core. This is what happened with (Jimmy) Rollins and (Chase) Utley and (Ryan) Howard and (Cole) Hamels. We need to give these guys a chance to become that next group." [nbcsports.com]
While the names being linked to the Phillies may be getting more and more recognizable, that doesn't mean they're actually ready to sign any of them.
Of course, this could all just be one big ruse by Klentak and Andy MacPhail...
