The former Vice President of the Land and Titles Court, Anae Pita II Anae, who defended the work of his colleagues yesterday, wants to clarify a point.
Having being quoted in a story titled "Ex-Vice President defends Judges" published on the front page of yesterday's Samoa Observer, Anae said it is wrong for people to take his views as opposition to the call by the Prime Minister for an Inquiry.
"I do not object to the fact the Prime Minister is calling for special Parliamentary Inquiry," he said. "There are complaints from people saying that I am against the call from the Prime Minister.
"That is not the case. The call from the Prime Minister is important as it looks into complaints (from the public), I support the call.
Anae added that he will be meeting with the Commission on Monday to make his submission on the issue.
In yesterday's edition, Anae shared his opinion on the reasons why many cases are delayed at the Land and Titles Court. With more than ten years of experience at the Courts, he said the problem was not entirely the Judges' fault.
"You must remember that as Samoans, we have roots everywhere," said Anae.
From the Land and Titles Court's perspective, Anae said everyone deserves a chance to present their cases. And that's why they try to find a compromise, regardless of how difficult it is.
"The Court doesn't know what to do when some respondents ask for the matter to be adjournedbecause the family's matai living overseas cannot make it.
The special parliamentary committee is chaired by M.P. for Vaisigano No. 1, Lopaoo Natanielu Mua and Deputy Chair is the Deputy Speaker, Nafoitoa Talaimanu Keti.

August has been an utter disgrace to our nation, showing just how serious Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is about smashing freedom of expression in New Zealand.
I have been writing about this glaringly fascist tendency in our PM since she was given the role by kingmaker Winston Peters back in 2017. She made it clear that Kiwis having the traditional cultural right to express their own ideas about anything and everything was something she was just not going to tolerate.
Here we are in the latter half of 2022 and in just one week we saw Chantelle Baker's hugely popular Facebook page deactivated, we saw Avi Yemini of Rebel News barred entry into NZ and disgustingly, we saw Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spierer of Counterspin Media arrested with their production gear, laptops and cell phones all confiscated.
These despicable anti-liberty actions have all been done ostensibly for different reasons, but the reasons remain odiously crappy... "spreading disinformation" or in Yemini's case, a low-level "previous criminal conviction" that ended up as merely a $3,000 fine. Alp and Spierer have had the legal book thrown at them for "distributing an objectionable publication" - some link to an overseas website about a documentary on the Christchurch mosque shootings, according to Spierer. Even though Alp is clearly a dick and sounds like a loon, there better be more to this story.
We'd already seen Lauren Southern and Stephan Molyneux barred from speaking at a paid event and we'd already seen Brian and Hannah Tamaki arrested during illegal lockdowns for daring to organise peaceful protests about them. We'd already seen Lee Williams, employee of Synlait Dairy Company, fired and absolutely hounded out of the country back to the UK by Maori Party extreme-Left activists who didn't appreciate Williams' idea of taking the piss (Kiwis aren't used to satire anymore because it's never allowed on our airwaves).
This is the obvious persecution of conservative voices in our country. Despite whether we agree with their views or not, or whether we like them as people or not, our nation
once was much better than this one, which now makes its police monitor and suppress the views of too many of our citizens. Dissent is essential to any country's survival, psychological health and freedom, but the fact that Jacinda Ardern won't tolerate it shows you just how weakly rotten she is as a person, let alone as a leader of a free people. She despises the very notion of liberty because she's a flakey, grinning, horse-faced, fucking fascist.
We're not going to tolerate her civilisation-smashing nonsense. This is our country. Fight back New Zealand, ferociously! Our freedoms are given to us by Nature and Nature's God. Any human who acts to take them away is simply evil, impotent and destructible. Remember that.
dear Olivia. you used a bad word...
She despises the very notion of liberty because she's a flakey, grinning, horse-faced, fucking fascist.
oops oh dearie, now i've done it too...
a few headlines from the last week- oh yes & the oz govt supporting aerial GE drops too...
The British Government Regulatory Agency now states the Pfizer shot should NOT be given to pregnant women: TOXICITY CONCLUSIONS
In the context of supply under Regulation 174, it is considered that sufficient reassurance of safe use of the vaccine in pregnant women cannot be provided... WOMEN WHO ARE BREAST-FEEDING SHOULD ALSO NOT BE VACCINATED.
Senator Robert F Kennedy jnr has won a court case in scandanavia making it illegal to call this genetic experiment a "vaccine."
Denmark has banned the 'covid' injection for under 18 yr olds.
PANICDEMIC CREATORS THE CDC HAVE JUST DONE THE BIGGEST U TURN IN MEDICAL HISTORY.
# Stop testing.
# Vaccinated or unvaccinated- no discrimination.
# The exposed & Students- no need to quarantine.
The British government is recommending against pregnant and breastfeeding women receiving the shots, in their update of the U.K. health department's "Summary of the Public Assessment Report for COVID-19 Vaccine Pfizer/BioNTech"
In the most recent version of CDC advice about mRNA vaccine safety, the section entitled "The mRNA and the spike protein do not last long in the body" has been quietly removed.
Over 1,100 scientists around the world, led by the Norwegian physics Nobel Prize laureate Professor Ivar Giaever, have signed the World Climate Declaration, stating that there is no climate emergency.
sadly, none of these disclosures are a setback for th globalists as rather than waking the sheep, it is making them more complacent.
i wld make the point the chinese fought harder against communism than kiwis are
"Alp is clearly a dick and sounds like a loon"
Why have you said this? What about him is "clearly a dick"? How does a comment like that support free speech?
"Alp is clearly a dick…"
I dunno… Just how does an intelligent and reflective yet uneducated and inarticulate man resist tyranny? That's gotta be tricky. Nonetheless, Kelvyn has achieved something others could not with his shock-and-awe tactics. Something good I reckon. How else could he have done it I wonder.
There is a significant cloud of resentment and nihilism choking NZ society that I have not seen in another country (other than perhaps the UK) to the same extent. I've been an interested observer of this curiosity for over five decades and have my theories as to why this is so. As a result, I think NZers are more reflective and observant (as French spies discovered in 1985) than their overseas compatriots. Alp is just one of thousands of these intelligent and reflective men in NZ – I can only speak for men – left behind by a substandard system, particularly the education system, that minimises and ignores their pain and existence. Is it any wonder they become resentful? Is it any wonder they lash out? With this in mind I reckon Alp is doing all right. At least he is being constructive; his cohorts destructive. Alp would die for Hannah in an instant if he had to. You just know it don't you? Clearly, he has some desirable traits in there somewhere. More desirable than undesirable I'd say.
"…she's a flakey, grinning, horse-faced, fucking fascist."
Now that bought a tear to my eye. Oh, and the rest of the article was fucking terrific.
Oh Great Master
Now now children, behave.
The fact that Ardern is incredibly ugly on the inside should not be taken to mean those external features are all her fault.
After all, the fact the Jacinda fell out of the ugly tree smashing into every branch on the way down was also NOT her fault.
She was pushed.
As a medical professional I might offer a professional opinion that the violent and sudden stop at the conclusion of the branch busting event may help to explain the toxic presence of a Retard that we suffer from today.
but really... I couldn't possibly comment on an effective cure.
Stupid is permanent.

Q&A: Errol Fields on Young Black Gay Men and Perceptions of HIV Risk
TheBody.com Sits Down With the Researcher to Clarify the Findings of His New Study, Which Found That Young Black MSM Believe That "Masculine" Men Are Less Likely to Have HIV
Kellee Terrell
Last week, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health released the results to a recent study about young black gay men and its findings are interesting.
Errol Fields, M.D., M.P.H., Ph.D.
By interviewing 35 young black gay men, ages 18-24, in Rochester, N.Y., Atlanta and New York City, researchers found that the participants almost exclusively prefer romantic and sexual partners they perceive to be masculine; are reluctant to allow a man they consider to be feminine to "top" them during sex; allow men they perceive to be more masculine to control the terms of what kind of sex happens, including condom use; and consider masculine men to be less likely to have HIV, and feminine men to be more at risk.
Given the alarming rise in rates of HIV among young black MSM, these findings could potentially shed some light on what is fueling these numbers. Because this study had such a small number of participants, it wasn't meant to be prescriptive of the entire demographic, yet some media reports have taken these findings and made sweeping generalizations about all young black MSM.
Kellee Terrell, TheBody.com's news editor, talked to the study's lead author, Harvard's Errol Fields, M.D., M.P.H., Ph.D., about the participants' misconceptions around HIV risk, how those misconceptions may impact prevalence rates and why his findings are not new or specific to black gay men.
How did this study come about?
It was part of a larger project in my dissertation looking at the statistics in young black MSM. I noticed that there aren't that many studies that focus on younger MSM, which is a high risk population. During my work doing adolescent medication, I had a 16-year-old patient who was infected with HIV by a 28-year-old partner. That experience with him made me want to better understand what's going on in that community.
These findings were a combination of three different studies that consisted of interviews with 35 black gay men from Rochester, N.Y., New York City and Atlanta. We sat down with them for between an hour and an hour and a half. Since these were three different studies, not all the questions were identical, but they were very similar. From there, we then compiled the data.
I do want to stress something very important. What we did was a qualitative study, not something that should be generalized to the entire community. We just wanted to get a better perspective in hopes to being able to end up doing quantitative research down the road. As of now, we don't have enough information to develop a strategy, or PSA, or anything, but it begs for more research along those lines.
One of the most talked about trends that you all found was the sexual preference for more masculine men. Can you talk about what masculinity meant to those you interviewed and why it was falsely linked to lower HIV risk?
This preference for masculine men, or what was perceived as masculine, was fairly dominant and oftentimes, masculinity was described as something that "was not effeminate." Other descriptions of masculinity given were images we would see in hip-hop: Thugs and "gangstas", men who bragged about sexual conquests and certain physical attire.
But we also found that many of these men preferred masculine partners because by hanging out with more masculine men, they could hide their own sexuality from other people they were not out to. Hanging with more effeminate men would give their sexuality away and they didn't want that.
In terms of HIV risk, some of them had this assumption that masculinity meant not being involved in a "gay lifestyle" and men who were "wrapped up" in the lifestyle were more likely to be infected with HIV because they were exposing themselves to something they shouldn't be. There is this underlying assumption that HIV is something that is housed in the "out" gay community, and that was evident in their bias. One man told us, "If he is a guy with a girl and two babies, then he is not messing around with a lot of other men, so he doesn't have HIV."
Do you worry that talking about masculine men who are not out and HIV risk only adds ammunition to those who want to blame HIV on the down-low?
I do worry, but what we found was that the men weren't living dual lives. From what I got was that the men were mostly having sex with men who were gay. It's not something we asked directly, but that was the sense I got.
In terms of bisexuality, some of the men we interviewed who said they were bisexual, or would talk about sleeping with women, only said that to appear more acceptable to others, when in reality, they were not that having sex with women at all. They were only having sex with men.
If men referred to themselves as on the down-low, the term was used to mean that they're still masculine and having sex with men, but that their sexuality was something that was not common knowledge to their family members or other people.
To me, the trend of the more masculine partners having more power and making the decisions about condom use seemed very similar to the gender power dynamics that heterosexual women face. Did any of the men make mention of gender roles in their relationships?
Yes. Gender norms certainly came up in the interviews. Some of the young men did identify as being the female in the relationship, or the "bitch" in those lines. But this dynamic was found mostly in young men who had older, insertive partners. They used heterosexual gender norms and described them in how they interacted with their partners.
What was particularly troubling for me was this deferring control of condom use to the insertive older partner. We see this in the heterosexual data about girls having sex with older partners and them being at greater risk for HIV because of the power dynamics.
With some of the younger men, they were having sex with men who were 5-10 years older than them. They didn't describe these relationships as problematic or said that they were coerced into sex-it seemed normal to them and that's disconcerting. Because a 14-year-old having sex with a 28-year-old is not normal.
While cultural differences are important in understanding why people do what they do, some media outlets have taken these findings and have made some problematic assumptions about all gay black men-basically pathologizing them.
Exactly, our findings are not new or solely linked to black gay men. Whether it's the Bear or the Jock, this idea of hypermasculinty is present in the white gay community. On the online sex sites, gay men of all races are writing, "no femmes or fats."
In terms of choosing sexual partners and HIV, these issues date back to the '80s and '90s, when being muscular and working out was preferable because people thought that meant men weren't sick. That's when the twink went out of flavor.
And while this preference for men who are perceived as more masculine is not unique to black gay men, I think unlike men of the majority, black men have historically had less access to the American idea of masculinity and socioeconomic empowerment. Perhaps this lack of access has created this notion that black masculinity is more about what they can access: physical strength, sexual prowess and thug mentality.
I am not sure what that means to this population, or how that changes their risk relative to each other. We don't have enough information at this point.
What do you hope this study will usher in for the future?
You know, this type of research begs for more research so that it can be generalized and used on a larger scale in the future. I hope that more work will be done on understanding what masculinity means and how can we measure that for different populations. What rings to 20-year-old white males doesn't mean the same for the young gay black population.
It's also important that we do more research on what the different expectations of masculinity are for different communities, why people desire it and how masculinity is something that's valued in certain communities. Looking at the men we interviewed, being masculine was valued and there was this huge drive in maintaining it.
Did the men in the study discuss any expectations that straight black people had for them to act masculine?
Yes. There was a lot of talk about family members trying to change their effeminate behavior and mold them into being something more masculine. There were stories about being punished for being effeminate, parents trying to play sports with them or trying to encourage them to sleep with women.
A number of men interviewed told us that their sexual orientation was a secret from their families, hence this piece about having a masculine partner to help them maintain nondisclosure. For a lot of these young men, being out with their sexuality could lead them to being isolated from their family and loved ones. One person said in order for him to be accepted, he knew that he couldn't change his sexuality, but he had created strategies of putting on a certain image in order to maintain the connection with his family.
Any final thoughts you want to share about this study?
Just that the most important thing for me is that there are these young men who have these important things to say about their lives and experiences and it's important research because it points to potential problems out there that need to be addressed. It's not clear how big or small these problems are, but they exist and we need to work to address them.

Set up the controls you need to make your model move, with the help of digital artist Antony Ward.
When working on any scene, it's important to take the time to pose your characters. Rendering your creations in the standard da Vinci pose will work for basic portfolio pieces, but won't give the person viewing them an insight into their personalities. Adding a physical pose and facial expression will make your image more appealing while also giving viewers an insight into your character's story.
Here, with the help of a few joints, constraints and blend shapes, I'll show how you can easily give your character the ability to express emotion. Not only will you have the skills to pose the body and face, but you'll also be able to animate them.
In order to manipulate your character, you must first create something to move, which will in effect deform your model. A simple joint hierarchy will be perfect for this. Press 4 to switch your viewport to wireframe mode; this will allow you to see your joint placements more easily.
Then go to Skeleton > Joint Tool and open the options. For now you are simply going to use the default settings, but as you can see there are a number of ways you could adjust how you create your joints, and set options like their axes and degrees of freedom. If you are using Maya 2013, you can enable the Symmetry option to help generate both sides of the skeleton at the same time. However, I will leave this option disabled for readers using older versions of Maya.
Work your way around the left-hand-side of the model, placing joints at major pivot points around the body. Start with the left arm, before adding in joints for the hand and fingers. You may also want to include extra joints at the bicep and wrist to ensure these areas deform correctly. Remember, your wrist isn't a simple ball and socket: when you twist your hand the radius and ulna bones roll together, giving a gradual rotation along your forearm.
We add the extra joint at the bicep for a similar reason. When you twist your upper arm, the muscles of your arm makes it look like this area is also twisting around the bicep area. Next add a Root joint - which will be at the character's waist - and work your way up to the head before creating joints for the leg, foot and jaw. When done, simply parent the thigh joint to the root, and the shoulder to the clavicle to turn it into a single skeleton hierarchy.
Now you have one side of your skeleton, it's important to check how it actually rotates before you move on to create the opposite side and bind it to the model. One of the main areas to investigate is the rotational axis in each joint.
Each rotational axis dictates how the joint will rotate around its pivot when manipulated. When adjusted, you are in effect editing the pivot so that the X, Y and Z axes point exactly where you want them to. This is important as misaligned axes can cause huge problems.
To edit the rotation axes on your skeleton, select the Root joint and also the hierarchy - go to Edit > Select Hierarchy - so you have all the joints selected. Now go to Display > Transform Display > Local Rotational Axes to see how yours are currently looking.
If you do find some joints that need adjusting, like the wrist, fingers and possibly the spine, go to Skeleton > Orient Joints and open the options. C If you remember, these options were also available when you were creating your joints, but this will allow you to edit each axis individually depending on your needs.
As mentioned, the default settings should work well, with the primary axis being the one that points down the bone, and the secondary attempting to point up. For the wrist though you may find that the orientation will attempt to point down a particular finger, whereas it should be central. To rectify this quickly, use the Orient Joint to World option.
With one half of the skeleton complete, you can now quickly mirror the left side in order to generate the right. Before you do, go through and rename each joint correctly while also adding an L_ prefix.
Select the left clavicle and open Skeleton > Mirror Joints. This is quite a simple tool, and depending on the way you created your skeleton, you may need to try a few options before you get a correct right-hand side. Start by mirroring across the Y and Z axes.
The Mirror Function you choose will also depend on your personal preferences, but Behaviour will mirror the joints and also flip the orientation and rotational axes - in effect, mirroring the behaviour. Orientation will keep the same rotational axes, making it easier to copy animation between sides.
Maya will also replace your L_ prefix with R_ so you don't get joints with clashing names. With the arm mirrored, repeat the operation on the leg to complete your skeleton.
Your skeleton is now ready, so let's connect it to your model. Select both the model and the skeleton's root joint, and go to Skin > Bind Skin > Smooth Bind and open the options. Again, if you are using a more recent version of Maya you will find the Heat Map Binding Method will give you a much nicer default bind, meaning fewer clean-ups later on. For older versions the default settings will work for you here, with the Bind Method set to Closest Distance.
The only other adjustment I would recommend would be to set Max Influences to 2 or 3, which will restrict how many joints are able to influence each vertex. Setting Dropoff Rate to around 10 will also give you a tighter falloff, which will be easier to manage and work with.
Now your model is moving with the skeleton, but you will find she isn't deforming very well. Try rotating her head, or even her jaw and arms, and you will see the problem. The default bind is just a starting point, so now you need to go in and adjust each joint's overall influence. It sounds like a long and tedious job, but Maya has a nice, intuitive way to handle weight adjustment.
Select the model and go to Skin > Edit Smooth Skin > Paint Skin Weights and open the settings. The tools options may appear intimidating, but you only need to focus on a few initially: you can experiment with the rest once you know the basics.
You will also notice that your model will now be black, with a greyscale around the selected joint that illustrates the weighting falloff. All you are going to do now is select your brush type from the top, specify a joint to work on under the Influence tab, and then select your painting operation. Stick to Replace in the beginning, which will just replace the values with the ones you are painting.
The last sliders to adjust are Opacity and Value. Value is the actual amount you will be physically painting onto the model: 1 will be a 100% influence, and 0 is no influence. Opacity allows you to adjust how much each brush stroke will paint, so in a way this is a percentage of the Value. With all that in mind you can now work your way around the model, correcting those deformation errors, and making sure her head and jaw move separately.
The best approach when painting weights is to pose the character first so you can see the issues as you work. You can also speed up your workflow if the character is symmetrical by focusing on the left side, and then using Skin > Edit Smooth Skin > Mirror Skin Weights to copy the weighting information across quickly.
Now the model is bound and weighted, but in its current state this character would be difficult to pose or animate. Trying to create a walk cycle, with each foot planting correctly on the ground, would be extremely difficult. To make your job simpler, you need to add a layer of controls on top of the skeleton; a bit like the strings on a marionette, these will drive the joints in a more intuitive way.
Let's look at planting those feet first, and to start you will create a Reverse Foot. A Reverse Foot is a copy of the existing foot joints, but reversed to make animating each movement and foot placement easier. Before you create the main controller, you should apply three IK handles running down the leg and to the tips of the toes.
First create an IK handle from the hip to the ankle. This must be set as an ikRPsolver - which is a Rotation Plane solver - and will allow you to gain control over the rotation of the knee. Create a second handle from the ankle to the ball of the foot, and a third from the ball to the tips of the toes. These last two should be ikSCsolvers, as you don't want them to inadvertently rotate.
With those in place, you can now duplicate your foot joints and un-parent them from the main skeleton hierarchy. Next, duplicate the toe joint and move this back to where the heel would be. At this point the new joint will be parented to the ball joint – you will need to adjust this so it is parented to the toe.
At present this doesn't look like a reversed version of the original foot, not until you select the heel and go to Skeleton > Reroot Skeleton. This will reorder the hierarchy, reversing the foot. Parent each IK handle to the corresponding joint on the reverse foot. Now when you move the Reverse Foot, the foot that is bound to the model will follow, and will happily bend as you rotate the joints.
The final step is to add an extra control that will allow you to lock and adjust the position of the knee. Just like the foot, you first need an icon to control the knee – a curve-based solution would work well, but for now a simple locator will do. Position this directly out in front of the knee joint.
Let's move up to the arms next and add an easier solution for controlling them. Just like you did with the feet, you are going to add a simplified master controller on top of the arms, so that you use three joints rather than the existing five.
Duplicate your arm joints and delete the fingers. You can raise the arm to make it easier to work on. Un-parent this new control arm, and also use the Skeleton > Remove Joint tool to strip out the bicep and wrist rotation joints.
in the Node Editor. This will show you the selected nodes and any connected nodes.
Rearrange the Node Editor a little so that you have the three main joints in view - Main Shoulder, Control Shoulder and Shoulder Twist - and click on the blue boxes at the top of each node to expand the attributes.
The next step is select the circle next to each attribute and connect it directly to another. To do so, click and drag the Rotate Y attribute on the control shoulder onto the Rotate Y of the main shoulder. You can also do this for the Rotate Z attribute.
Next connect the Rotate X attribute to the Rotate X attribute on the shoulder twist joint. Now if you rotate the control arm you will see that the main arm will move with it - but more importantly you will see that when you twist the arm, it doesn't twist from the shoulder. Instead it moves from the bicep rotate joint.
The final step is to ensure that this new control arm moves with the actual rig. To do this, select the main skeleton's shoulder and then the control shoulder. Now go to Constrain > Point which will lock the control arm's position to the main shoulder.
What you may notice is that as the rig moves, the control arm will not keep the same orientation as the main arm. This is because you used direct connections, which feed off the attribute values. To fix this, simply break the connections on the shoulder's Rotate Y and Rotate Z attributes, and instead use an Orient Constraint to control the orientation on those two attributes.
Now you have seen how to rig your arms and legs, these simple steps will allow you to pose your character quickly and easily. However, what if you want to add more controls to other areas of the character?
These could be as simple as a direct connection - like you did with the arms - or perhaps you might want to use Constraints or Set Driven Keys to add slightly more complex controls.
Hands can be time-consuming to pose as you would need to select each joint and apply a rotation, so you could apply a few quick controllers here too. The key is to have a simple, intuitive rig, and ideally one that is separated from the actual skeleton with no controls lying inside its hierarchy, so you can easily bake the animation onto the skeleton for export if you need to.
Your model can now be moved and posed quickly and easily, but without a set of facial expressions she will still seem a bit wooden. Animating a face can be approached in a number of ways: for instance, joints can be used in conjunction with Set Driven Keys to achieve any number of poses, but these may also feel stiff.
Blend shapes - or morph targets as they are also known - are versatile and easy to set up, plus they can give a more organic feel to your animation. To create a blend shape, simply ensure your rig is in its default, bound position and create a copy of the main model.
Make sure Reflection is enabled in your Move Tool settings so you can work on both sides at once as you model, and create your first expression. First close her eyelids to create a blink - this is a standard and always needed blend shape.
Because you created both sides at the same time, you can generate two blend shapes from this single model. Create a copy of your first blend shape and move it to one side, then roughly select the vertices that were edited on one side of each head.
If you look in the Channel Box you will now see the option CVs (Click to Show). Opening this will show you the X, Y and Z coordinates of each vertex. Zeroing out the selected vertices will essentially reset that side of the face. Repeat this on the other model, but on the opposite side of the face. You now have two blend shapes, a left blink and a right blink, meaning you can control each side independently.
Continue generating more blend shapes to cover your initial needs, focusing on key expressions such as joy, anger, surprise etc, and break these down into eyebrow, eye and mouth shapes.
When they are all created, select the blend shapes and add your skinned model to the selection. Go to Create Deformers > Blend Shapes and open the options. Keep your settings the same - although you can add a name if you like - but switch to the Advanced tab.
Because you are adding your blend shapes after the model has been bound to the skeleton, you will need to change the Deformation Order to Front of Chain. This will ensure the blend shapes will evaluate after the skeleton's influence. If you don't do this, when you enable a blend shape the whole model will be treated as a blend shape, rather than just the vertices you adjusted.
To edit and animate your blend shapes once you have created them, simply go to Window > Animation Editors > Blend Shape. You can now adjust each slider and combine each blend shape in order to generate an unlimited amount of facial expressions.
As a final step it's important to work your way around the rig and lock any attributes that are not meant to be editable. Doing this now will ensure that your rig is solid, and won't break easily if passed to other animators.


If you have ongoing complex health problems that mean you require care, you may be able to get this care funded on the NHS. This funding is called NHS continuing healthcare. A form of this is also available for children with ongoing healthcare needs, and this is known as a 'continuing care package'.
NHS continuing healthy is completely free for those who meet the necessary criteria. Recipients will generally have either a long-term physical or learning disability that makes it very hard for them to look after themselves. If you are entitled to the service, you may be cared for at home, at a residential care home or in hospital.
How do I find out if I am eligible for it?
It is up to the NHS to decide who is eligible, based on how your condition affects your day-to-day life and health. A clinical commissioning group (CCG) will see if you qualify by carrying out an assessment in two stages: initial and full.
Your initial assessment will be a checklist completed by a nurse, doctor, other healthcare professional or social worker. You'll then be told whether you qualify for the full assessment. If you don't meet the initial criteria, you can ask your local authority about other forms of financial support.
During the full assessment, at least two healthcare professionals (or someone already dealing with your care) will evaluate your health and how well you can carry out a number of everyday tasks. They will want to learn about your mobility, breathing, emotional needs, communication, understanding of the world around you and other factors that affect your day-to-day life. Using the results of your assessment, they will decide whether you need the care. It could be that you have severe needs in just one aspect, or you have a range of difficulties which combine to make your life difficult.
It usually takes about 28 days for the NHS to come to a decision about your eligibility for continuing healthcare.
I need help fast, what can I do?
If you need help urgently and don't feel you can wait 28 days, for example if your health is deteriorating quickly or you have a terminal illness, you may be able to have a quicker assessment known as the Fast Track Pathway Tool. A healthcare professional will decide if you need to be fast-tracked and will organise this for you. If you meet the criteria, you will usually be given NHS continuing healthcare within 48 hours.
The care you receive will be tailored around your own needs, and you will be consulted about the kind of care you want to have.
You might have care workers appointed for you, or you might receive a personal health budget to spend on your choice of care (as long as it meets the needs highlighted in your assessment). Alternatively you may be looked after in a residential care home local to you.
The care or funding you are offered is known as your 'care and support package'. This package should be reviewed within the first three months and then annually to ensure that it still covers all your needs.
Is there NHS funding for children with illnesses or disabilities?
A similar kind of care programme is set up for children (anyone under the age of 18), and is often known as a continuing care package. It works in a very similar way, but it takes into account different services that are available to children through the NHS and local authority. Once you turn 18, you will have to be reassessed for the adult form of NHS continuing healthcare.
Can I claim any other financial support?
If you are not eligible for NHS continuing healthcare, you may be entitled to other funding from your local authority or charities. Find out more about help with paying for care.
I'm not eligible for financial support. What else can I do?
The cost of care may still be hard to afford even for those who don't qualify for financial help. If you are concerned about how much you are spending on care, a financial adviser may be able to help. An adviser can help you organise your finances around your care needs and so make them last as long as possible. Find out more about paying for care.

Q: Xpath sorting from XML document I have a XML document and it is contains some date data like:
<Message>
<messagetext>Testing purpose only</messagetext>
<date>05.02.2010</date>
</Message>

I want them sorted with a XPath key, how can I get it?

A: The XPathExpression class allows you to add sort specifications.
Here is some sample code that should work with .NET 2.0:
XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(@"..\..\XMLFile1.xml");
XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
XPathExpression exp = nav.Compile("Messages/Message");
exp.AddSort(
  "number(concat(substring(date, 7), substring(date, 4, 2), substring(date, 1, 2)))",
  XmlSortOrder.Descending,
  XmlCaseOrder.None,
  null,
  XmlDataType.Number
);
foreach (XPathNavigator msg in nav.Select(exp))
{
  Console.WriteLine(
    "{0}: {1}",
    msg.SelectSingleNode("date").Value,
    msg.SelectSingleNode("messagetext").Value
  );
}

With XMLFile1.xml being
<Messages>
  <Message>
    <messagetext>Message 2</messagetext>
    <date>04.02.2010</date>
  </Message>
  <Message>
    <messagetext>Message 1</messagetext>
    <date>05.02.2010</date>
  </Message>
  <Message>
    <messagetext>Message 3</messagetext>
    <date>05.02.2009</date>
  </Message>
</Messages>

the output is
05.02.2010: Message 1
04.02.2010: Message 2
05.02.2009: Message 3

Assumed date format is ddmmyyyy but you could change those substring expressions as needed if you want mmddyyyy.

A: You can do it using LINQ to XML as follows. I assume you are using the format MM.dd.yyyy, but this can easily be changed if you want:
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;

public class Message
{
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("input.xml");
        var messages = doc.Descendants("Message")
            .Select(element => new Message
            {
                Text = element.Element("messagetext").Value,
                Date = DateTime.ParseExact(element.Element("date").Value, "MM.dd.yyyy", null)
            }).OrderBy(message => message.Date);
        foreach (Message message in messages)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", message.Date, message.Text);
        }
    }
}

Results:
02-05-2010 00:00:00 : Test1
17-05-2010 00:00:00 : Test2
22-05-2010 00:00:00 : Test3

Test data I used:
<xml>
  <Message>
    <messagetext>Test1</messagetext>
    <date>05.02.2010</date>
  </Message>
  <Message>
    <messagetext>Test3</messagetext>
    <date>05.22.2010</date>
  </Message>
  <Message>
    <messagetext>Test2</messagetext>
    <date>05.17.2010</date>
  </Message>
</xml>

A: First of all XPath isn't going to help do any sorting except as part of an XSLT transform.  Secondly XPath 1.0 as used in .NET does not have any date specific support.
The easiest approach would be to load the XML into an XDocument and use code like this (assumes a series of "Message" nodes under to toplevel root node in a document):-
Func<XElement, DateTime> fn = e => DateTime.ParseExact(e.Element("date").Value, "dd.MM.yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

var messages = doc.Root.Elements("Message").OrderBy(fn);

foreach (var elem in messages)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fn(elem));
}

Alternatively if you have reason to stick with XmlDocument this slightly uglier code will work:-
Func<XmlElement, DateTime> fn = e => DateTime.ParseExact(e.SelectSingleNode("date").InnerText, "dd.MM.yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

var messages = doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("Message")
    .Cast<XmlElement>().OrderBy(fn);

foreach (var elem in messages)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fn(elem));
}

A: If you have control over the format of the XML, I'd recommend changing the date format to ISO 8601.  That way, the dates can be sorted like regular strings.  For example, 05.02.2010 would be 2010-05-02.  Additionally, ISO 8601 is less ambiguous (month before day or day before month?)

Figure Skater
Evgeni Plushenko
Name: Evgeni Plushenko
Occupation: Figure Skater
Height: 178 cm (5' 11'')
Evgeni Plushenko was born on November 3, 1982 in Russia (40 years old). Evgeni Plushenko is a Figure Skater, zodiac sign: Scorpio. Find out Evgeni Plushenkonet worth 2020, salary 2020 detail bellow.
He lost out in a controversial decision to American Evan Lysacek at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
His mom got him into figure skating because he was constantly catching colds as a child.
Plushenko was born on 3 November 1982 in Dzhamku, Solnechny District, Khabarovsk Krai, Soviet Union. His mother was originally from Volgograd, Russian SFSR, and his father, a carpenter, was born in Donetsk, Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. He has an older sister. Plushenko lived in Volgograd before moving to Saint Petersburg in 1994. A 1998 graduate of school No. 91 in Petrogradsky District, he began studying at the Lesgaft University in 2000, graduating in 2005, and at the Faculty of tourism and hospitality of the Saint Petersburg State University of Engineering and Economics in 2004.
Since Plushenko frequently suffered from colds, his mother decided he needed exercise and enrolled him in figure skating lessons at age four. His first coach was Tatiana Skala. He trained in Volgograd, Russia until his ice rink closed when he was 11 years old. In 1994, his mother took him to Saint Petersburg to train under the guidance of Alexei Mishin.
Plushenko developed a rivalry with Alexei Yagudin, with whom he trained under Mishin until Yagudin left in 1998. In 2000, Plushenko defeated Yagudin at the 2000 European Championships, but finished fourth at the 2000 World Championships.
At the 2002 Winter Olympics, Plushenko and Yagudin were considered co-favorites. Plushenko finished 4th in the short program after falling on his quadruple toe loop, but skated a free skating to "Carmen" and pulled up to finish in 2nd place overall.
On 18 June 2005, Plushenko married Maria Ermak, a sociology student at the Saint Petersburg State University, in a ceremony at the Hotel Astoria in Saint Petersburg. Their son, Egor Evgenievich (originally Kristian), was born on 15 June 2006. In February 2008, they were officially divorced. In August 2009, Plushenko announced his engagement to Yana Rudkovskaya, the record producer for Russian singer Dima Bilan. They were married on 12 September 2009. Their first son, Alexander, was born in January 2013 with their second, Arseniy, born in September 2020.
Plushenko won most of the competitions he entered in the following four years. He finished second only twice. The first time was to Emanuel Sandhu at the 2003–04 Grand Prix Final for misunderstanding the new ISU Judging System which was now in use. The second was the 2004 European Championships, where he lost to Brian Joubert. He had a difficult 2004–05 season. At the 2005 World Championships in Moscow, Russia, an injury forced him to withdraw after the short program. He eventually required groin surgery. He underwent surgery to correct the problem in Munich, Germany in spring 2005.
In 2006, Plushenko joined the political party A Just Russia, and in March 2007, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg. Following the 2010 Olympics, he announced his intention to quit politics. In April 2010, he gained public attention for poor attendance, having attended only 11 of 123 parliamentary sessions since his election. In December 2011, he announced he was leaving politics to train for the 2014 Olympics. He quit A Just Russia and said he had no plans to join another political party.
After seeing the poor results of Russian skaters at the 2007 World Championships (the worst since 1960), Plushenko was worried about Russia losing its status as a dominant force in figure skating, and was also concerned that Russia might even lose confidence for its skaters for the 2010 Winter Olympics. He announced in April 2007 that he decided to return to competitive skating for the 2007–08 season to keep Russia at a competitive level with other countries until the next generation of Russian skaters could take over but a return to the ice did not materialize. Plushenko also stated that he planned to compete in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
In 2008, Plushenko, together with violinist Edvin Marton, accompanied Dima Bilan on stage as part of the winning Eurovision Song Contest performance "Believe" in Belgrade, Serbia. Plushenko skated on stage as part of the performance.
In March 2009, Plushenko announced that he had returned to training with longtime coach Alexei Mishin in order to prepare for the 2010 Olympics.
Plushenko led the short program in his return to skating at the 2009 Cup of Russia on 23 October 2009. He earned 82.25 points for the short, and won the free skating with a score of 158.40. Overall, he won the gold in his comeback with a total of 240.65 points.
In December 2009, Plushenko signed a partnership agreement with the international management agency FlashLight led by the sports agent Andreas Goller.
At the 2010 Russian Championships, Plushenko earned 100.09 points for his short program. He received 171.50 points in the free skating to win his eighth Russian Championship with 271.59 points.
At the 2010 European Championships, Plushenko set a new world record score in the short program by scoring 91.30 points, and went on to win the event for a sixth time with a total score of 255.39 points.
Plushenko skated in exhibitions soon after his withdrawal from Worlds. On 28 June 2010, the International Skating Union announced that Plushenko had lost his eligibility due to participating in skating shows in March and April without the Russian figure skating federation's authorization. He was given 21 days to appeal this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which he did not do. As a result, his loss of eligibility became final as announced by the ISU on 23 August 2010. However, a request for reinstatement could be made in line with ISU regulations subject to a review and decision by the ISU Council. In September 2010, he stated his goal of competing at the 2014 Winter Olympics. In October 2010, he competed in the Japan Open 2010 as part of the European team. Each team was allowed to have an "ineligible" member. He placed third in the men's event.
Plushenko skated in ice shows around the world while continuing to train for a possible return to competition by practicing quad Salchows and quad loops. In April 2011, he sent a letter to the Russian figure skating federation president, Aleksandr Gorshkov, seeking reinstatement. Plushenko said he hoped the ban was not a retaliation of his criticism of the judging at the Olympics and that he would like to return to competition with a clean slate. Although he said he would have liked to compete at the 2011 World Championships if the ban had been lifted, he did not feel he would have been ready due to lost training time as a result of injury. On 12 June 2011, it was announced that the ISU had reinstated him by a unanimous vote.
On 12 June 2011, Plushenko said that he had undergone knee surgery due to a meniscus problem but would be back on track within two weeks. Although his left knee continued bothering him, he resumed training in Mishin's group, alongside Artur Gachinski, saying "Competition is always good, remember there was a time when Alexei Urmanov, Alexei Yagudin and I all trained together. We pushed each other. With Artur in the group, I have a sparring partner. He does a quad and I have to do a quad as well." He declined an offer to skate in a 50-show tour in order to train.
In December 2011, Plushenko competed at the 2012 Russian Championships. He won the short program with a score of 88.24 and then won the free skating with a score of 171.43, to win his ninth national title. He was named to the Russian team for the 2012 European Championships, although he had not competed internationally recently enough to have the minimum technical elements scores (20 in the short program, 35 in the free). The Russian figure skating federation asked the ISU to allow him to compete, with Aleksandr Gorshkov saying that the minimum scores were designed to filter out weak skaters. In January 2012, the ISU released a statement confirming that Plushenko had been allowed to participate in the 2012 European Championships. On 26 January 2012, Plushenko confirmed that he would undergo additional surgery on his meniscus after the competition and would be unable to compete at the 2012 World Championships.
Plushenko competed at the 2012 European Championships, his first international competition since 2010. He earned a score of 84.71 for his short program and a personal-best score of 176.52 for free skating. His overall competition score of 261.23 points was also a personal best and earned him his seventh European title. He became only the third men's skater to capture seven European titles and the only one to do so in modern history. He is surpassed only by two skaters from the early history of the sport, Sweden's Ulrich Salchow, who won nine titles from 1898 to 1913, and Austria's Karl Schafer, who won eight from 1929 to 1936. In a post-Europeans interview, Plushenko said that he had not planned to compete after 2010 but found he missed the adrenaline of competition. He underwent surgery on his left knee to clean up the meniscus and repair a cartilage on 23 February 2012 in Germany. In February 2012, Plushenko also mentioned a back problem due to spinal disc herniation. It was later determined that back surgery would not be necessary. Mishin clarified that Plushenko was in good health overall.
Plushenko withdrew from the 2013 European Championships after the short program due to his back problem. He underwent surgery on 31 January 2013 in Tel Aviv, Israel to replace a spinal disk with a synthetic one.
On 7 November 2013, Plushenko returned to competition at the 22nd Volvo Open Cup in Riga, Latvia where he won the gold medal with an overall score of 263.25 points. He landed a 4T, 3A, 3A-3T in the free skating and obtained the minimum TES needed to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics. He had one Grand Prix assignment, the 2013 Rostelecom Cup, but withdrew due to a minor knee injury. At the 2014 Russian Championships, Plushenko placed first in the short program and second in the free skating. He finished second overall behind Maxim Kovtun, his first loss at Nationals since placing third in 1998.
On 22 January 2014, it was announced that Plushenko had been awarded Russia's men's spot for the 2014 Winter Olympics. It was his fourth Olympics appearance. Offered the opportunity to be Russia's flagbearer, he said it was a great honor but he could not accept due to the competition schedule.
At the 2014 Winter Olympics, Plushenko competed in both the short and free skating segments of the team figure skating competition. He placed second in the short program with a personal best score of 91.39 behind Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan. He placed first in the free skating portion with a score of 168.20, garnering 19 points for his team. Russia won team gold, ten points ahead of Canada who got silver. This was Plushenko's second Olympic gold medal, giving him a total of four Olympic medals, and he became one of the oldest figure skating Olympic champions. This tied him with Sweden's Gillis Grafström for the record of the most Olympic medals by a figure skater, since surpassed by the ice dance team of Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue. This was also Russia's first gold at the games.
After struggling with a back injury during practice, Plushenko decided to withdraw from the competition after his pre-short program warm up on 13 February 2014. It was announced shortly after that he would be retiring from competitive skating. A few days after, he announced that he was "not ruling out" the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. It was announced shortly after that he was going to have another back surgery on March 2, 2014, citing a snapped pin in his back.
Plushenko has expressed interest in coaching when he ends his skating career. He hopes to open his own skating school in Saint Petersburg. He retired officially from competition in March 2017.
Since April 2017, he had been the coach of Adelina Sotnikova, the 2014 Olympic champion, until she retired in 2020. He is also the coach of Stanislava Konstantinova and Ekaterina Ryabova. As of May 6, 2020, Plushenko is the coach of Alexandra Trusova, the 2018 and 2019 World Junior Champion.

Swiss Bank Launches Bitcoin Asset Management Service
A private bank in Switzerland is offering its clients management services for their bitcoin holdings.

A private bank in Switzerland is offering its clients services to help them better manage their bitcoin holdings.
Falcon Group announced today that it is launching the product, one aimed specifically at allowing customers to buy and hold bitcoin with their traditional accounts. The services are being offered in partnership with Bitcoin Suisse AG, a bitcoin brokerage founded in 2013.
Arthur Vayloyan, global head of products and services for Falcon, said in a statement:
"We are proud to be the first-mover in the Swiss private banking area to provide blockchain asset management for our clients. Falcon is convinced that the time is right to enter this nascent market and it is our firm belief that this new product will fulfill our clients' future needs."
As part of the announcement, Falcon also revealed it has installed a bitcoin ATM in the lobby of its Zurich headquarters that will be open for public use. The integration reportedly came about following discussion with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
While it's rare for a bank to openly embrace cryptocurrency, Switzerland has emerged as active in supporting blockchain-related initiatives in both the public and private sectors. Just yesterday, for example, the Swiss Federal Council revealed the regulator is "swiftly" moving toward a legal designation of digital currencies.
In addition, the city of Zug, which has openly expressed its intent to help move forward the adoption of blockchain technology, and which is backing an industry consortium called the Crypto Valley Association, recently revealed it intends to launch a digital identity service that utilizes the tech this fall.

The Adobe Exchange Panel for CS6 will no longer be functional after June 2015. All of the capabilities of the Exchange Panel and more are available on the Adobe Add-ons website.
If you have used the Exchange Panel in the past please check out the Adobe Add-ons website. If you have questions, we've answered some of the most frequently asked ones in the FAQ below.
Q. How is the Adobe Add-ons website different to the Adobe Exchange Panel for CS6?
Viewable anywhere – with the Exchange Panel you could only see compatible products for the app you were in, with Adobe Add-ons you can view and acquire Add-ons from any web browser and on devices like tablets and smartphones.
Sync install – For products that are compatible with more than just CS6, Add-ons uses Adobe CreativeSync technology to install your acquired Add-ons to all your Creative Cloud enabled computers and updates can be installed automatically or easily removed with a click.
Q. With the Exchange Panel gone how do I install my extensions?
A. If you acquired products with the Exchange Panel please use the same identity and sign in at My Add-ons. If you acquired your extensions from a developer please look for the relevant .zxp file or installer, or contact the developer directly.
Q. I had acquired various products on the Adobe Exchange Panel and want to install them again for CS6 how can I do this?
A. Anything you have acquired from the Adobe Exchange Panel or from the Add-ons website is available from the My Add-ons section, please ensure you sign in with the same ID you used to acquire the Add-ons in order to see the same ones in my Add-ons. If the product you are looking to install is specifically for CS6 only please click the "Install for CS6" link and follow the 3 quick steps to install the product.
Q. If the Adobe Exchange Panel is gone does that mean Adobe Exchange and the Adobe Exchange Producer Portal is gone too?
A. No, the Adobe Exchange website is still used for various resources and for the Producer Portal which enables anyone to create and submit Add-ons publicly (free or paid), or for private distribution. To sign up as a producer go here, it's quick, easy and free! If you are looking to distribute more than 10 products please request a producer account upgrade by emailing avetting@adobe.com with the subject "Account Upgrade Request".
Q. I am using Adobe Creative Suite 6 (CS6), how do I get Extensions and Add-ons now that the Adobe Exchange Panel is no longer supported?
A. You can use the Adobe Add-ons website, just ensure the product you are looking to acquire is compatible with CS6. Compatibility is shown on the top right hand side of each product page under "Version". In addition to the Adobe Add-ons website there are a huge number of CS6 compatible plug-ins, extensions and other add-ons available from third parties.
Q. I am having issues with my extension where can I get help?
A. Where to go for help will depend on where you acquired your extension and what the problem is. If the problem is with functionality of the extension please contact the producer of that extension directly, either from their website or via email. For issues relating to products you acquired on the Adobe Add-ons website or the Adobe Exchange panel please go to the Adobe Add-ons forum, the Help and Troubleshooting section or email asupport@adobe.com, (please note that we are unable to provide assistance with add-ons acquired outside of the Adobe Add-ons website).
Q. Can I now remove the Adobe Exchange CS6 Panel?
A. Yes, removing the Exchange Panel will not affect your CS6 applications and will free up a small amount of disk space. To remove it, launch Adobe Extension Manager CS6 (download it here if you don't already have it), choose one of the CS6 apps and select "AdobeExchange" and then click the Remove button (as shown in the image below). Clicking the Remove button will remove the Adobe Exchange Panel from all of your CS6 applications.
The Selective Sync feature, described below, is no longer available due to certain operating system (OS) dependencies which were removed in recent OS versions on Mac. We have removed the user interface on both Mac and Windows rather than maintain a disparate feature set. If you'd like to see the selective feature return please add a comment and tell us and I will share it with the product teams.
Adobe's Creative Cloud comes with storage and it's super easy to share a folder with other people. These folders can then be synced to your computer which is very convenient, but what if you don't want to sync all those shared folders that have been shared with you or don't want to sync all those shared folders on another computer? The good news is there is now a way to selectively sync shared folders from Creative Cloud.
Let you have different shared folders syncing on all your Creative Cloud enabled computers.
At least one or more shared folders in order to be able turn off syncing for them. Note: A menu will appear only when you have accepted shares that belong to other people. You cannot turn off your own shares.
Locate the Creative Cloud Files directory on your computer. To open the Creative Cloud Files directory from Creative Cloud desktop app, select Assets > Files and click Open Folder. Note: You will need to go one level higher to be able to select the Creative Cloud Files directory itself.
Context click (usually a right click, unless you're left handed) on the Creative Cloud Files directory and click on the Select Shared Folders to Sync menu, this will show all your shared folders. Now just select the folder you do not want to sync.
To select multiple shared folders, repeat step 3 above and click on the name of each folder you want to stop syncing. Any folder that does not show a tick next to the folder name will not sync and you will also receive a notification once the files have been removed.
To sync a shared folder again that you previously stopped syncing, just repeat step 3 and select the folder you want to sync again. Note: Check that the folder does not have a tick next to it, as that means it is not currently being synced to your computer.
So now you can save disk space on your computer and have more control over what shared folders are synced with Creative Cloud.
Please share this technique with other Creative Cloud users so they can take back control of what shared folders are synced, they'll thank you for it.
Ensure you have accepted 1 or more Shared folders. If you do not have any Shared Folders in Creative Cloud there will be no menu or sync options to show. You must have accepted shares that belong to other people. You cannot turn off your own shares.
Ensure you have version 1.8.0.447 (October 2014) or later of the Creative Cloud for desktop app installed, you can check this by going to Preferences > General and clicking the Account tab in side the Creative Cloud for desktop app.
Ensure you have File Syncing turned on and that it is not paused. To check click the cog wheel in the top right hand corner and select Preferences > Files and check the File Sync is turned On.
Ensure you have restarted your computer. We've had a number of Mac users running Yosemite (10.10) saying they cannot see the the selective syncing menu. It turns out that while they have the latest Creative Cloud for desktops app they have not restarted their Macs and so the menu does not show up. As this is a system level menu it requires a restart to be enabled so please restart your computer and see if the menu becomes visible.
Ensure you are selecting the Creative Cloud Files folder, not inside the Creative Cloud Files folder itself. On a Mac it's best to go to your Home folder and then Control click (usually right click) on the Creative Cloud Files folder. On Windows use Windows Explorer and select the folder a level above the Creative Cloud files folder to then control click on the Creative Cloud Files folder. Or simply click the cog wheel in the top right hand corner and select Creative Cloud Files and make sure to select The Creative Cloud Files folder itself (not inside the folder) and then Control click for the selective syncing menu.
Ensure you are connected to the Internet, if you are offline and made changes to a Shared Folder they will be synced next time your computer is connected to the Internet, this feature requires an active Internet connection to work.

The new Generator feature for Photoshop CC lets you generate Web ready images from a psd file. This panel makes this feature incredibly easy to use, simply choose the export format; JPEG, PNG or GIF, select the quality and if you want a 2X version and go! You can even have the layer renamed for you.
Generator allows you to create image assets in real time as you work, eliminating the tedious steps of copying, slicing and exporting each layer manually, and saving you hours of time. Simply add a file extension to the name of your layer or layer group, and Photoshop will automatically create a JPG, PNG or GIF from the contents of that layer. If you make a change to that layer, the file is immediately updated. This means that you now have a folder of images that are always up-to-date with your Photoshop design.
Adobe Layer Namer is available exclusively on Adobe Exchange from the Adobe Exchange Panel in Photoshop CC for CC subscribers.
To get Adobe Layer Namer, launch the Photoshop CC app and then open the Adobe Exchange Panel by going to Window > Extensions > Adobe Exchange.
Santa and his Photoshop elves were very busy creating this little gift, with lots of help and many thanks to Thomas Ruark and Russell Brown for this wonderful Panel and finally Krystal Woods for testing and releasing it.
Wishing you and your families Happy Holidays. There are lots more exciting things coming on Adobe Exchange in early 2014, until then have a very happy new year.
Photoshop CC is a remarkable release but how do you learn what the new features are and how to use them? The answer is the Photoshop CC Features panel where you can access new tools and features and watch videos all within Photoshop CC and it's available exclusively from Adobe Exchange.
Special thanks to Stéphane Baril of Adobe (@sbaril on Twitter) who created this panel with Adobe Configurator 4.
Launch the Photoshop CC app and then open the Adobe Exchange Panel by going to Window > Extensions > Adobe Exchange.
If you haven't already, you need to apply the CSXS update to enable the Adobe Exchange Panel first – Details here.
Photoshop CC Features is available for free for Creative Cloud paid subscribers. If you are just trying out Photoshop CC at the moment but want this panel you can get it with the Samples included with the free Adobe Configurator 4. While you are there you can also edit the Photoshop CC features panel to make it even more tailored to your needs.
The Panel has just been updated to version 1.0.2 but don't let the small version number fool you, it's a big update with a number of usability improvements and includes the new Photoshop CC Generator feature. Existing users can get the update from within the My Stuff section of the Adobe Exchange Panel now.
P.S. Want to have fun learning Photoshop CC? Check out LevelUp, also available exclusively on Adobe Exchange.
We've just released an important update to the Adobe Exchange Panel for Creative Cloud (CC) desktop apps.
The Panel icon is back – no more default lego brick!
Facebook icon to like us on Facebook in the lower left of the panel. You can follow us on Twitter too.
New large view by default – now when you open the Exchange Panel for the first time you will see the large rather than compact view because in this case bigger really is better. Prefer skinny? No problem, click the button on the lower right to make it compact.
Non-zxp support – This is a major new feature. Previously if you wanted to submit products to Adobe Exchange they had to be packaged into a zxp format using tools like the free Adobe Exchange Packager, available when you sign up as a producer, which is also free. So now you can submit any kind of file, tell us the Adobe CC apps it is compatible with and off you go. Please note that it's best to provide the native file rather than a zip when submitting content becuase we can then look to install things in the correct place automatically in the future. Really need to provide a zip file? Go ahead. It will be downloaded to the Downloads folder. Please also note that this feature requires Adobe Extension Manager CC Update 7.1 and works with supported CC apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, InCopy, Dreamweaver, Prelude and Premiere Pro. You can expect to see a massive increase in the amount of content available on Adobe Exchange in the coming months thanks to this new functionality.
First open the Adobe Exchange Panel by going to Window > Extensions > Adobe Exchange from within a compatible CC app.
Install/update Adobe Extension Manager CC to version 7.1 using the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app or get the installer here.
Don't forget to check out the Adobe Exchange Panel regularly as we are constantly adding more products (Window > Extensions > Adobe Exchange).
Adobe Drive Five is Alive!
Adobe Drive 5, or Adobe Drive CC as it's better known, is now available. Lots of Adobe creative users don't know about Drive and what it provides, so before telling you about the new features, let's start with what it's for.
Adobe Drive CC (version 5) software enables seamless integration of a digital asset management (DAM) system with Adobe Creative Cloud and Creative Suite 6 desktop applications. Once connected to a DAM server, you can access remote assets through your operating system file browser, through Adobe Bridge, or from the menus of CC and CS6 products that integrate with Drive: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and InCopy.
This release provides a lot of compatibility, Drive CC is compatible with the Creative Cloud (CC) *and* CS6 supported applications (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, InCopy & Bridge. It supports CQ DAM 5.5, AEM DAM 5.6 and now AEM DAM 5.6.1 (released in June) along with a number of DAMs from third party vendors.
LevelUp for Photoshop is a fun and free way to learn Photoshop and it works inside Photoshop CC. LevelUp is a game of missions — and points and rewards — that guide you along the way of learning basic Adobe® Photoshop® CC software skills. If you are a photographer and are just starting to use Photoshop, this is the game for you.
SUPPORT FOR CREATIVE CLOUD: With this release, you can create panels for Photoshop CC, as well as for Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS6.
AUTOMATIC CONVERSION: The automatic conversion feature has been extended, so that if you open a CS5.x panel for Photoshop, you can convert it to either the CS6 or CC version.
OPEN EXTENSIONS FROM A PANEL: A new widget allows your user to open other Adobe Application Extensions from your panel. You must provide the ID of the extension to open.
NEW SCRIPTING FUNCTIONALITY: The HTML widget now has enhanced scripting capabilities that allow you to open other extensions and call into the ExtendScript DOM of the host application.
HI DPI SUPPORT: You can create panels that will run in high resolution on Apple Retina™ Displays.
NEW SAMPLES: See what's possible or just customize what has already been created with the sample panels available on the Welcome screen and File menu. We've created new HTML Sample Panels and a new Photoshop CC features sample.

Q: Cannot install Flexisip (Linphone SIP server) on Centos 6.8 I am building Voice Call feature for Android app by using Linphone.
On server (CentOS 6.8), I install Flexisip by tutorial on Homepage of Linphone wiki (https://wiki.linphone.org/wiki/index.php/Flexisip:installation).
However in step 1, I cannot install "EPEL repository" for hiredis-devel package because this link is not found: http://mirror.ibcp.fr/pub/epel/7/x86_64/repoview/epel-release.html. If I ignore step 1, then when install Flexisip, it require hiredis-devel with version 0.11 or higher.
So I have some questions:

*

*Can I install Flexisip on CentOS 6.8 ? or Flexisip require CentOS 7 and more recent ?

*If I can install Flexisip on CentOS 6.8, how can I install hiredis-devel with version 0.11 or higher ? (because Flexisip require hiredis-devel with version 0.11 or higher, I only can install hiredis-devel with version 0.10 on CentOS 6.8)

Thanks all (sorry I am not native English speaker)

A: First, you need to download the file using Wget and then install it using RPM on your system to enable the EPEL repository. Use below links based on your Linux OS versions. (Make sure you must be root user).
RHEL/CentOS 7 64 Bit
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
RHEL/CentOS 6 32-64 Bit
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
RHEL/CentOS 6 64-Bit ##
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

The CaixaForum is conceived as an urban magnet. The attraction will not only be the cultural program, but also the building itself, its heavy mass – detached from the ground in apparent defiance of the laws of gravity – literally draws visitors inside. The separation of the structure from the ground level creates two worlds: one below and the other above ground. The "underworld" provides space for an auditorium, service rooms, and several parking spaces; the building above ground houses the entrance lobby and galleries, a restaurant and administrative offices.

In just a few days, the 5 global year of 2012 moves behind us, and a new yearly cycle – the 6 global year of 2013 – begins. Very often, we have the most to learn at the end of a cycle and, sure enough, calendar week 52 is filled with reflections which can help us better understand our position as we enter the new year.
Week 52 holds the energies that break down illusion and deception. Some of our own personal illusions may fall apart this week, especially in areas where we have been deluding ourselves in some way. The more we accept our individual truth as it becomes clear to us, the more likely we are to see the lifting of a large scale illusion on the world stage.
5+2 = 7, the number of secrets, lies, conspiracies, revelations, and scandals. As consciousness rejects erroneous and irrelevant old programming, it is expanding with new input. This is a week of evolutional insight, if we are open and willing enough to receive it!
The 5 in 52 is connected to the 5 energy of 2012. 5 is the number of freedom, change, resourcefulness, and learning as we go. We all had BIG lessons to learn this year. But are we aware of them? And are we attempting to break free of the holding patterns of our daily habits and routines? 5 points out our addictions – including ideologies which formed out of our fear of the responsibility that comes with freedom.
We live in a system in which we have been programmed to avoid stepping off the 'beaten track'. Well, the beaten track – the way of life that was carved out for us by others – is coming to an end, and it's time to learn how to pave the way and plot the course for ourselves. This will take time, and great patience with each other, with detail, and with the pace of our progress. And this evolutionary movement will also come up against violent opposition from those whose positions of power are threatened by it. This is already happening all over the world. The will of the people rises up, and the "established system" pushes back with brutality.
7 represents the art of PLANNING… and you may find yourself entertaining a big or unusual idea this week. Don't discard it just because you cannot find a way to immediately put it into effect, or because there is some complexity involved. This week's 5/2/7 vibration tells you to dig deeper into the details. Learn how to study and plan your way forward – or your way out. Expect things to take time to materialize. 7 is the number of knowledge – and we are gaining knowledge right now – this week.
6 is the number of responsibility, and we can be sure that the 6 global year of 2013 will be one in which accountability and being responsible are major themes. Yes, of course we will make mistakes. A function of the 5 energy is to recognize our miss steps – our miss takes – and seek a better way, and we need to bring 5's flexibility with us into the 6 global year.
INSIGHT is being triggered this week to remind us of the creativeness and resourcefulness which come from 5 – the number of THE UNUSUAL – THE UNEXPECTED – THE EXOTIC – and anything 'DIFFERENT'. This is what gives us our ability to learn NEW things – our ability to break through the 'usual' and evolve to a new level of consciousness.
Last week's enormous focus on 3 remains. The 3 energy is threaded all the way through 2013. This week, both 5 and 3 represent continuity, survival, and procreation. 5 and 3 are the most creative numbers when combined. They represent CONCEPTION and form the ultimate pregnancy vibration. The 5/3 vibe will stay with us in the months ahead, and by using the knowledge we have gained from it to make our journey a more loving and meaningful experience, we will learn what works and what doesn't – and we will make great progress – because we learn from experience.
5/3 represents CONCEPT and BRINGING IDEAS TO LIFE! This very sensual and sexual vibration also points out the patterns we are stuck in – our addictions. We need to be more aware of how dependent we are on the various things and people we take for granted.
The 2 in 52 is connected to the leading number of our times, the powerful 2 millennial energy. 2 is the number of patience, cooperation, attention to detail, sensitivity and caring. Life on Earth has changed drastically since the electrical 1000s moved behind us, and the magnetic 2000s began. With each day, we move further into the 2 energy, and we realize just how imbalanced and unequal the current system is. This realization is the basis of the upcoming changes, from which no one is immune. We, humanity, are in this together.
Both our singularity and our unity are reflected in the number 11 which, of course, adds up to 2 – the number of relation and relativity. This requires us to look at reality from different angles in order to see the bigger picture. Look at 11 from a different angle and you have the equals sign. 11 brings balance into life – which is equality. 1+1 = 2, which demonstrates how freedom is upheld through cooperation and partnership, and the desire – the firm intent – for inner and outer peacefulness.
7 is the number of reflection, learning, wisdom, and intelligence. 7 represents INSIGHT. The doors to consciousness are blocked by denial of reality, and this deprives us of the knowledge that will take us forward. But 7's irrepressible quest for knowledge can open those doors. We all have something to learn this week which really can make a difference to the way we proceed from here. 7 reflects reality, and from reflection comes awareness.
Reflection is part of the miraculous yet simple way nature communicates with us, if we would just remove the blinders of denial, look beneath mere surface appearances, and experience this metaphysical conversation first-hand. We are not separate from nature. We are part of it. And running through the core of nature is the natural phenomenon of numbers, to which people all over the world are relating more and more each day. Of course, an avid interest in numbers is only natural in this digital age we're traveling.
We love the concept of being limitless and yet, at this stage of our evolution, most of our problems occur when we overstep obvious limits. We must be honest with ourselves about our INEXPERIENCE as well as our skills. We must understand the repercussions of incompetence. While it is true that we learn from mistakes, that is not an excuse for recklessness and indifference. We must learn to respect boundaries while figuring out how and whether to break through them. Evolutionary movement has various speeds, frequencies, and intensities. We do not all move – or learn – at the same pace or in the same way. If we crash through barriers before we are ready for them, we can cause unnecessary harm and injury. Learning is a great patience!
That's all for 2012. I will be writing about 2013 soon, and I am really looking forward to that.
Be sure to read your weekly forecast for this week – and the two extended daily forecasts for December 30 and 31. There is also a link to your yearly forecast for 2013.
I am really happy you enjoy this work, and thank you so much for your support.
Be sure to read your personal weekly forecast for week 52. This week, you'll get extended daily readings for December 30th and December 31st … and a link to your yearly forecast for 2013….

Thanks Christine, Merry Christmas !
Sorry for the delay in replying Virginia. Thank you!!!!
Hi Christine, your commentary is very informative. My husband I seek out this information daily in order to determine how to proceed with our day. This is a great way to start out the day. Understanding and accepting ourselves as well as others is the way to achieve the greatest awareness there is. The bond with mankind will evolve immensely as this appreciation grows!
Sorry for the delay in replying, Sherri (and hubby). Your words are deeply appreciated. Happy New Year to you both.
