[Solved] OOo saved PPT claimed "corrupt" by PowerPoint?
Okay, I don't necessarily use OO 3.2 for this. Rather it's a long case, with probably OO 3.0 and 3.1 used.
So I had four PPTs modified by OO some 1 or 2 years ago. They opened correctly with OO that my laptop solely runs.
Right until a colleague of mine asked me to hand over these PPT's. She couldn't open them with M$ Powerpoint, so I tried to open them, still no avail.
I immediately update the OO's on machines I am responsible for if possible, but even after that, re-saving them to ODP, close OO, reopen them, and re-save as PPT again, STILL no avail.
The two error messages I got are attached in this message.

Re: OO saved PPT claimed "corrupt" by PowerPoint?
Difficult to say what the problem is without having access to one of the files. Could you upload one here?
Re: OOo saved PPT claimed "corrupt" by PowerPoint?
Or use the native format of OOo (ODP).
Thanks for you guy's assistance.
Though I admit that I shouldn't mix edit, that if I was to edit them I should keep the original PPT as a master back-up, and keep the edits as ODP as much as possible.
The files themselves are in Chinese so you guys might see something really strange, nevertheless I'd post one of them here.
Works perfectly with MS PowerPoint 2003 on my W2k system. Here is the file.
What did you do with the file, Hagar?
Your file works fine with my PPTViewer2007, but the original one is not.
I get the same error opening the file in PP 2007, and interestingly if I convert it to an ODP file PP2007 has no problem opening it. Convert it back to a PPT file again however and PP claims a part of the file is missing.
So it seems the issue is compatibility between Impress and PP 2007 (seems earlier versions are OK) If your colleagues are all using 2007 then it would appear to be preferable to swap files in ODP format.
Also if I open Hagar's file in Impress and save it that file can no longer be opened in PP.
PP2003 has no problem with it whereas the latest versions reports an invalid file when it detects that some non-MS program generated that file.
About a week ago I participated in a similar thread. It was a Powerpoint which would open with the MS Powerpoint Viewer but would not with Powerpoint 2007. The problem lies with 2007.
By opening those files with PP2007, save, and then opening with PP2003 again.
To minimize impact, I now keep those files with two versions, PPT and ODP; though I think the PPT's would have to stick to M$, because when I derive a PPT from an ODP, it would not work.
Conclusion: PP2007 is troublesome. If I'm dealing with OO, the very original has to be created OO or PP2003, but not PP2007.
Re: [Solved] OOo saved PPT claimed "corrupt" by PowerPoint?
As much as I dislike the government setting requirements, this is one case where it seems that it will be needed. Requiring open standards is the only way to keep MS from becoming a monopoly.

Woody Pitkat Commits To Remainder Of '22 Monaco Modified Tri-Track Schedule With Owner Doug Dunleavy
Woody Pitkat (Photo: Jim DuPont/RaceDayCT)
When Doug Dunleavy took over ownership of the former Eddie Harvey Racing NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour team following the 2021 season the biggest question many had was if he would keep driver Woody Pitkat behind the wheel.
Dunleavy made it clear almost immediately that his plans centered around keeping Pitkat as the driver and Cam McDermott as the crew chief.
The next biggest question was where the team would be racing for the 2022 season. For most of the offseason following the 2021 season Dunleavy kept options open, emphasizing that the only focus for the team would be running Tour Type Modified events at Stafford Speedway.
Along the way though Pitkat was pushing for hard for the team to have a presence with the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series.
And while the program may have missed the first two races of the season for the series, Pitkat will not get his wish.
The Dunleavy owned team has filed entry for the final five Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series events and will be on the track at Open Wheel Wednesday next week Seekonk (Mass.) Speedway.
"When we had talked over the winter our goal was to run the Open Stafford races," Pitkat said. "… With Stafford, Doug has been a huge supporter of Stafford. … He has a great relationship with the [the track operators]. So that was the main objective was to to go there. Then we were going to start Tri-Track, but [Dunleavy] was getting hip surgery done and we missed [the Tri-Track season opener at Monadnock Speedway on April 30].
Pitkat said one of the foundations of the Dunleavy operation is that the team unit is together as a part of all events, which was a factor that hindered the team from going to Monadnock and the second Tri-Track Series event on May 29 at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt.
"[Dunleavy is] big into that he wants to go together," Pitkat said. "If we can't go with me, [McDermott] and him together, then we're not going to go. He wasn't going to be able to make Monadnock, so we didn't go. That Thunder Road deal, we were going to do that and Cam had a wedding that night. Cam was going to get the car ready and let us go and Doug said 'Nope.' We ride together, we die together type thing. And we didn't go to Thunder Road."
With a focus on keeping the team unit together for all events, being able to run shows that don't require off days from regular jobs and nights away from home, the Tri-Track Series fit the bill for the organization.
And it's a series that Pitkat sees overall as being the most competitive for Tour Type Modified competition.
"I think they're in a really good place," Pitkat said. "I think they're probably, out of all the Touring series' … one of the one's with the higher car counts. I think the competition is the hardest on that series out of all the Open Modified series'. Obviously the [Whelen Modified Tour] is very hard, but you look at the last few years – until this year – it's been really two or three guys that have been on top that you're trying to beat. With the Tri-Track – obviously besides Matt Hirschman because he's just unbelievable everywhere he goes – but besides him you've got people coming from all over the place. You've got so many different engine packages and chassis packages. … It's so diverse, but all the packages work so well together for the tracks they go to, the competition is at an all-time high.
"I think they're in a great spot. Wayne Darling has been a supporter of mine. They've got a great group of people over there. Ed Bennett, Greg Felton – who I've had as a crew chief in the past – and then just the group of people that they have. When you look at them it's people that we've raced with before that are racers. … It's a group of racing people that have been there for years."
In addition to the Seekonk event on Wednesday, the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series also has events reamining at Star Speedway in Epping, N.H. (July 23), the New London-Waterford Speedbowl (Aug. 6), Stafford Speedway (Sept. 24) and Seekonk (Oct. 22).
Pitkat, who has competed with the Tri-Track Series for a number of years with team owner Stan Mertz, is looking forward to introducing the series to Dunleavy.
"Doug has never done that," Pitkat said. "He's never done a Tri-Track race. I think once he gets his foot in the door and sees how they run. How it's laid back, not as much pressure as the [Whelen Modified Tour]. I think it's kind of like [the Stafford Open Modified 80's]. I think he's going to like it and I think he's going to have a lot of fun. And hopefully we can have some success."
Pitkat is hoping to carry momentum from a string of recent positive runs for the Dunleavy team into Seekonk.

Pitkat was second to Ronnie Williams in the CBYD Open Modified 81 on May 20 at Stafford. He got Dunleavy his first victory as a Tour Type Modified team owner in the Bug Light Open Modified 80 at Stafford on June 10.
Pitkat is still looking for his first victory behind the wheel of a Tour Type Modified at the Seekonk bullring.
"It's a track where I've had some success," Pitkat said. "It's a place where I like to run. I know some people don't like to go there. But it's all about what you have. … I'm looking forward to it. I haven't really won in a big Modified [race] there. I've been close."
To hear Pitkat talk more about the development of the Doug Dunleavy owned program, on his place in Stafford Speedway history, the importance he puts on his family and much more listen to the latest edition of Unmuffled

I have been dying to use this moose die… and finally got the opportunity with today's Advent cardmaking theme.
Moose aren't exactly Christmassy animals in the UK given there aren't any in Europe but I do adore them and so given they are Christmassy animals in North America I included them for this challenge.
I used a card I had made up using vintage papers to add the moose on top and then some doodling with gold pen.
And here is the video showing me making it.


Hello beauties and Happy Saturday! With the hot summer days right around the corner I wanted to share with you one of my favorite ways to refresh and cool myself – using body mists. I am a huge perfume lover but when it's dreadfully hot outside I much more prefer to use something lighter and more fresh and to me the body mists / sprays are the best way to do so. The ones that I found and love the most are Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mists. I have tons of them (see my review on Aqua Kiss) but the one I am currently in-love with is Sheer Love.
Sheer Love is described as "An irresistible, fresh fragrance. Fall in Sheer Love, bright and cheerful with fresh white cotton and luminous pink lily". It has really fresh and noticeably floral notes to it, but they are by no means overpowering and feel really light and soft. Sheer Love is such a happy, young and feminine scent and when I spray it on me it instantly puts me in a great mood. (: It basically smells like spring or summer in a bottle! The scent is so fresh and clean so if you are not particularly into floral scents you still may like it in my opinion. Sheer Love is quite a neutral fragrance and some people may say that it is boring but I absolutely adore its freshness and sweetness!
Have you tried Sheer Love before? Do you own any other fragrance mists from Victoria's Secret?
Id love to try out one f the victora secret scents they looks lovely!
this sounds lovely! i want to try one now!
We don't have Victoria's Secret over here, but I'd love to try alllll of them haha! I plan on taking lots of them with me when I'm going to New York in September. Great post!
This one sounds amazing! When I went London I picked up 4 of these but not this scent! I'll have to check it out next time!
This sounds like such a lovely product. I have one body mist from Victoria's Secret and love it!
I've never tried a body mist but this look and sounds lovely!
I loveeeeeeee VS scents, so yummy! My faves are Bombshell and Noir Tease!
LOVE your blog! My favourite perfume is the Victoria's Secret 'Heavenly' - its beautiful!
My blog is still a baby in the blogging world and so I'd really appreciate it if you had a spare minute to visit!
I have this scent and I really like it! Victoria's Secret never lets me down!
This sounds amazing! i will definitely have to try it out!
these pictures are so pretty! i love this fragrance!
I have never tried these but it looks amazing!! Will have to look up on it next time I go to Victoria Secret!!

Police release CCTV video in bid to trace man after accostings in Clacton and Colchester
Detectives have now released CCTV of an incident on Saturday, October 18, 2014 when a 14-year-old boy was approached by a man near an alleyway off Dudley Road, Clacton at about 6.30pm. - Credit: Archant
Detectives investigating a series of accostings in north-east Essex have released CCTV footage of a man they want to identify.
The description of the offender is very similar in a number of the incidents and police have previously issued this E-fit image. - Credit: Archant
Officers believe an attacker could be linked to 18 offences in Clacton and two in Colchester over the last four years.
Essex Police yesterday released CCTV of an incident in which a 14-year-old boy was approached by a man near an alleyway off Dudley Road, Clacton at about 6.30pm on Saturday, October 18, 2014.
The man stopped the boy as he was walking home and invited him to walk into the alleyway with him. The man acted inappropriately and the boy ran off and alerted his parents, Essex Police said.
The CCTV also shows the man run across Dudley Road in the path of oncoming cars. Officers want to trace the drivers of those cars who may remember a man running across the road and have information that could help investigating officers.
In other incidents the man has worn a black beanie hat and/or red Columbia ski jacket, a photo of which has been released by Essex Police. - Credit: Archant
The description of the offender is "very similar" in a number of the incidents and police have previously issued an E-fit image, a force spokesman said.
The man is described as about 6ft tall, aged 40 to 60 and of large/stocky build with receding short brown/grey hair.
He is thought to have a London accent and in other incidents has worn a black beanie hat and/or red Columbia ski jacket.
Detective Inspector Leighton Hammett said: "I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV to contact us. Although it may not be the best quality, the man has a distinctive running style and we are keen to hear from drivers who may remember him running across the path of their car on Dudley Road at around 6.30pm.
"There have been no recorded incidents since October 26, 2014. However we are still carrying out police patrols in the area to provide reassurance but I would remind people to remain vigilant and speak to their children about stranger danger and the importance of telling someone if they are approached.
"It is then vital to call Essex Police on 101 as soon as possible or, if the offender is believed to be close by, dial 999."
The CCTV video is available on Essex Police's YouTube channel.

TransAlt: Congestion Pricing Holds the Key to Vision Zero
Traffic fatalities are falling in New York, but more than 200 people still lost their lives on NYC streets last year. London's experience shows how reducing traffic will be essential to achieving Mayor de Blasio's street safety targets.
By David Meyer
While total traffic deaths fell in 2017, cyclist fatalities increased to a troublingly high level. Image: TransAlt
To achieve his goal of eliminating traffic fatalities by 2024, Mayor de Blasio must do more to get cars off NYC streets, Transportation Alternatives says in its new Vision Zero report card [PDF]. Congestion pricing, which the mayor opposes, has proven to save lives in other cities and opens up possibilities for street designs that further prevent crashes.
New York has made clear progress on traffic safety under de Blasio. Fatalities are declining, and fewer pedestrians were killed by motorists last year than at any time since record keeping began.
Nevertheless, more than 200 people lost their lives in traffic in 2017, including a larger number of cyclists and motor vehicle occupants than the year before. Total traffic injuries also increased, though up-to-date information on the severity of injuries is not yet available.
The city's Vision Zero timetable calls for the elimination of traffic deaths by 2024. With four years left in office, de Blasio can't leave opportunities on the table. TransAlt says City Hall has to pursue "wholesale changes and bold decisions employed to scale, like exchanging car parking for curbside protected space for cycling, and real efforts to reduce the total number of cars in the city."
In London, one benefit of congestion pricing was a substantial reduction in crashes resulting in fatal and severe injuries, which dropped 25 percent per mile driven within the cordon zone. The rate of fatal or severe injury crashes involving cyclists fell even more — 69 percent. Reductions in crashes and fatalities were recorded not only within the charging zone but in the areas ringing the outside of the cordon.
The congestion charge has also cleared the way for London to establish more pedestrianized areas and protected bikeways, further improving safety. Citywide, 116 people lost their lives in London traffic crashes in 2016, the last year for which data is available. That's fewer than half the number of traffic deaths in NYC that year and nearly 100 fewer deaths than in 2017, despite London's slightly larger population.
Here in NYC, despite recent progress, 2017 marked the deadliest year for people biking since Mayor de Blasio took office, with 25 fatalities. More than half occurred within a "Vision Zero priority areas" — streets DOT has identified as especially dangerous. TransAlt calls on the mayor to empower DOT to add protected bike lanes to more of the city's most dangerous streets, expanding the treatments that high-traffic streets like Brooklyn's Fourth Avenue.
In its report card, TransAlt gave de Blasio a B- for his Vision Zero work last year. Subtracting from the mayor's score were his unyielding opposition to congestion pricing, his decisions to dole out 50,000 parking placards, and his crackdown on e-bike delivery workers.
DOT got a B, with TransAlt urging the agency to be less deferential to people who will oppose any repurposing of car space. "The supremacy of safety is not a standard in new projects, and the DOT appears to see their task as rallying community support," the report says. "Bike lane projects are prioritized not by danger, but how easily they will be approved by community boards."
NYPD received a C-, the worst grade in the report. TransAlt singles out for demerits the NYPD habits of leaking false or inconclusive information to the press after fatal crashes, and ticketing cyclists at sites where drivers recently struck and killed someone on a bike. Moving forward, TransAlt says the agency must do a better job of tracking injury severity and "begin measuring progress as other agencies do" — with data documenting the relationship between the department's actions and crashes prevented and lives saved.
The TLC has put genuine effort into preventing driver fatigue, piloting crash avoidance technology, and issuing summonses to TLC-licensed drivers, TransAlt says. But the lack of results bumps its grade down to a B-. The number of TLC-licensed drivers involved in fatal crashes increased in 2017, and the vast majority of for-hire vehicle drivers who have killed New Yorkers retain their TLC licenses.
One highlight of Vision Zero implementation, TransAlt says, is the Department of Citywide Administration Services (DCAS), which manages the city's fleet of non-emergency vehicles. Under de Blasio, DCAS has become a national leader in municipal fleet safety. In 2014, eight people were killed by non-emergency city vehicles. Since then the average has been one fatality per year.

'Healthy home' rental property standards announced
The Government has announced new minimum standards for rental houses. The health aims are laudable, but are the practical or enforceable?
And will they result in more people dumping their property investments? This adds to financial disincentives for landlords, which will increase further if a more comprehensive property Capital Gains Tax looks likely as recommended by the Tax Working Group.
I wonder why this has been announced on a Sunday?
Standards to make homes warm and dry released
The new healthy homes standards to make rental properties warmer and drier were today announced by Housing and Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford.
The standards set minimum requirements for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping in residential rental properties. They reflect feedback from a wide range of public health experts, stakeholders including landlords, tenants and building experts.
Phil Twyford said making sure all New Zealanders had warm, dry homes was one of the most important public health changes the Government could make.
"Nearly 600,000 households rent in New Zealand, and our rental stock is of poorer quality than owner-occupied homes. It's estimated about 200,000 families live in rental homes that do not have ceiling or underfloor insulation.
"The Ministry of Health says 6,000 children are admitted each year for 'housing-sensitive hospitalisations'. These children have been found to be nearly four times more likely to be re-hospitalised and 10 times more likely to die in the following 10 years. We cannot continue to accept this."
The new standards go a long way toward making rental homes healthier for tenants:
All rental homes will be required to have a heater that can heat the main living area to 18oC.
Rental homes must have ceiling and underfloor insulation that either meets the 2008 Building Code insulation standard, or (for existing ceiling insulation) has a minimum thickness of 120mm.
Rental homes will also be drier under these changes as kitchens and bathrooms will have to have extraction fans or rangehoods.
Where rental homes have an enclosed subfloor space property owners will need to install a ground moisture barrier to stop moisture rising into the home
The standards also reinforce existing law that says landlords must have adequate drainage and guttering to prevent water entering the home.
Draughts that make a home harder to heat will have to be blocked.
"The standards are pragmatic, enduring and don't impose an unreasonable burden on landlords and industry while being mindful that renters need to have warmer and drier homes as soon as possible," Phil Twyford says.
The next step is for the standards to be drafted in regulations and approved by Cabinet. The regulations will become law by mid-2019.
Compliance timeline for the new standards:
1 July 2021 – From this date, private landlords must ensure that their rental properties comply with the healthy home standards within 90 days of any new tenancy.
1 July 2021 – All boarding houses must comply with the healthy home standards.
1 July 2023 – All Housing New Zealand houses and registered Community Housing Providers houses must comply with the healthy home standards.
1 July 2024 – All rental homes must comply with the healthy home standards.
For more information on the healthy homes standards visit the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development website.

Shearer's vulnerability on standards
David Shearer already seems to have turned his back on his own words. In February, in Stuff's Shearer not buying into 'gotcha' politics:
"I'm not the kind of leader who believes in rival tribes playing 'gotcha', where bickering and partisanship are prized. Of course that's what a lot of people look for. They want to score the game, give points for the best smart remark in Parliament. But that's not what most New Zealanders want," Mr Shearer told an Auckland Grey Power meeting yesterday.
He made it clear he would not be pushed into changing his timetable, or turn himself into the sort of politician he dislikes.
"I want a new kind of politics, pragmatic and attentive to what works, not tied up in the squabbles of the past … our future policies have to pass this test: `Does this idea help us achieve the New Zealand we want to create 10 years from now?"'
He is now fully involved in Labour's 'gotcha John Banks' campaign. Has he already become 'the sort of politician he dislikes'?
And is Shearer setting himself up for more exposure? He is pressing John Key to sack John Banks:
Key's credibility damaged by clinging on to Banks – Shearer
"John Key is clinging onto John Banks for political convenience because he needs his vote. He's doing that despite the fact three witnesses have given sworn testimony that John Banks knew about the Kim Dotcom donation. That is just not credible.
"The Prime Minister's claim that he has no option but to rely on John Banks' word is utter nonsense and desperate political spin. John Key is risking his own credibility by taking the word of a Minister whose reputation is in tatters.
"The Prime Minister has an obligation to get to the 'bottom of the facts', just like he demanded Helen Clark do in 2008 over Winston Peters. At that time, he said she should stand Winston Peters down because he had failed to put up a 'credible explanation' and had 'misled the New Zealand public' and the Prime Minister.
"It's the same story today, but John Key isn't applying the same standard. It's absolute hypocrisy for him to turn a blind eye given his previous political attack on Helen Clark and Winston Peters.
"What he should do is summon John Banks to the Beehive and ask him face-to-face whether he has lied. Ask him why he told media and his own Chief of Staff that he didn't know about the donation and yet Kim Dotcom, his bodyguard and his lawyer all say he did.
"John Key has no option but to sack John Banks or lose the respect of New Zealanders for failing to show the integrity expected of a Prime Minister," said David Shearer.
And Shearer has clearly defined what he thinks what action Key should take, albeit confusingly saying Key should "get to the 'bottom of the facts'" but regardless of those facts "has no option but to sack John Banks".
John Key has found that claiming high standards can come back to haunt you (with the help of willing opposition ghosts).
How long will it take for David Shearer's standards to be focussed back on himself?

Q: How do you create a GitHub Repository so that I can automatically import and export python scripts? I'm brand new to Github but experienced using Python and just wondered how to use both so that I can upload and export scripts for others to use! I have created a repository to start with! Any help would be great.

A: for a beginner with GitHub as you, it will be great to use GitHub desktop.
Download it and clone the repository you created. Now move your files into the repository folder. In GitHub desktop add a quick summary about what you changed and click the "commit" button. With this you created a timestamp in the history of your repository, but it is only available on your local machine. Now click the "push origin" button on the top in GitHub desktop. This will push the changes to the repository. When your repository will become more popular, people might want to commit changes to it. To do this, they will open a pull request and you just need to approve it and their changes will be merged into your repository. I hope this helped. If you don't understand anything about GitHub, feel free to ask. :)

Tuesday 21st July 2009 - 'Where are the guitar riots and accordion assaults?'
Terence Blacker of the Independent has written the best article yet on recent entertainment licensing developments:
'Where are the guitar riots and accordian assaults? Terence Blacker - The Independent - Tuesday 21 July 2009
'This Government has developed a bizarre hatred for a certain kind of live music. Chilling with the kids at the Latitude Festival this weekend, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Ben Bradshaw, looked extraordinarily relaxed for someone whose ministry had just dealt a hammer blow to musical expression in the UK. Participating in a packed debate about media, Bradshaw had been amiable, almost liberal, in his views about Page Three girls and the celebrity culture.
'It is music for which his Government has developed a bizarre, sustained hatred - or, to be more accurate, a certain kind of music. There is no problem with the big, moneyed, well-sponsored acts of the type performing on the main stages of Latitude and other festivals. It is the kind of acts found on the fringes of these events - small, scruffy, dangerously individual and spontaneous - which seems to frighten ministers, and has caused them to dump yet another mess of pointless legislation on to the statute books.
'Six years ago, the Blair Government decided, for reasons which were and remain mysterious, that live music - that is, any music, acoustic or amplified, played by one musician or more in a public place - causes a threat to public order. It passed the Licensing Act, which required pubs or clubs to fill out a complicated form and pay for a permit from the local council.
'There would be no exceptions. A person playing a ukulele accompanied by someone else on a triangle would be breaking the law if the act appeared in a pub without the required license. There was no control, on the other hand, over noise blaring from a large TV screen or from recorded music.
'This bafflingly silly piece of legislation, which punished musicians and publicans, two professions that were already in difficulty, had the effect of causing many pubs to abandon live music. After a long campaign, headed by the charity UK Music, sanity seemed to have broken through in May when a Commons Select Committee looking into the act concluded that music should not automatically be considered a disruptive activity. The 'draconian' law had discouraged performance, 'especially by young musicians'.
'The Government has just rejected the committee's recommendations. Ben Bradshaw has decreed that, when it comes to music's potential for stirring violence, the number of musicians or the size of audience is irrelevant. Clearly bored by the subject, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport has said that the subject is now closed.
'Could someone in government, in the ministry, in the police, explain the thinking behind this idiocy? Surely even the most blinkered, legislation-addicted minister can see that it is not music which causes trouble when people are gathered together, but alcohol. It is asinine to blame musicians for what is a general social problem.
'There has been extraordinarily little evidence to back up the Government's position - no sobering statistics about guitar riots, or chilling accounts of accordion-related violence. Feebly, a civil servant has argued that, in spite of the Licensing Act, the venues putting on live music in the UK have increased since 2007.
'Of course they have. Surely, the news has reached Whitehall by now that Britain is going through a musical renaissance. There has been a huge increase in the numbers of those who attend concerts and festivals. In an age of control and corporatism, when so much of life and work is mediated through screens, performed music is a defiant, and increasingly powerful, expression of the individual human spirit.
'Could that, just possibly, be the problem? Is the reason why politicians fear the kind of music which is not controlled by sponsors or huge marketing interests that it represents freedom? A government which likes to boast of the country's "creative industries" is one which deals with life as if it were part of a big business. Everything must be licensed, controlled.
'There is a sad irony here for those who have voted Labour down the years. The last time there was an explosion of song-writing outside the power of record companies was some 45 years ago. At that time, a Labour government briefly had the courage to embrace musical performance as part of a young and changing Britain.
'Today, those in charge are wary of unlicensed spontaneity. This absurd campaign against musicians, particularly young musicians, may not be the most grievous act of this Government but it represents a spirit of petty-mindedness and fear which will cost it dearly over the next 12 months.'

For some reason I enjoy supporting multiple operating systems at home. I have a couple Debian boxes, the Powerbook, and my wife's Windows XP machine which I use on occasion when she's not trying to produce a PhD thesis. All these systems are in place for various reasons, but it comes down to the fact that each has a purpose and I have the skills and inclination to support them. But when it comes to file sharing on OS X, I'm kind of in a pickle.
I just finished building a 1/2 TB file server which runs Debian. It is working great. I've got a software raid partition in place for the sensitive files as well as some other partitions for less crucial stuff (like mp3s and portions of the first 4 seasons of The Family Guy). Obviously I have some NFS shares hooked up so that my other Linux machine can plop its backups on the file server as well as access the cvs repository that is also on the file server. I have some Samba shares defined as well for the XP machine which allows those all important thesis documents to be placed on the raid partition, which can then be backed up far more easily and regularly than the XP machine itself ever has been. And then came OS X.
The obvious choice for OS X file sharing is Apple Filesharing Protocol (AFP) which is supported on Linux by netatalk. So after setting up the shares and getting everything some what working, I discovered a problem with symlinks on the file server when I accessed it through AFP. Namely the symlinks weren't linking to anything, which as I'm sure you know is kind of a key feature of symlinks. After a little digging I find out that AFP doesn't support symlinks. Frankly this was unacceptable to me. I use symlinks liberally on the linux boxes and it was going to be a pain to try to change things around so I wasn't. So, I canned the idea of AFP, figuring I had NFS as a backup and so everything would still be good.
NFS didn't work out too well either. If you check google, NFS Manager is apparently the utility to use when trying to get NFS to work on OS X. And the utility simplified setting up the shares for me, I still had problems with NFS itself. Connections seem to go away at will. I'm not sure if it is something to do with the PB going to sleep or what. Despite a bunch of people saying the OS X would remount volumes automatically on request, I kept having to force quit Finder to get shares to remount. They would just look like normal empty folders until I KO'd Finder and then I could access the shares again. Needless to say, not an ideal solution. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, so if you've got any ideas I'm all ears.
So now, believe it or not, I've somewhat settled on SMB for my OS X file sharing (with a Linux file server). I know, seems kind of weird, but I already had the SMB shares setup for the XP machine, so that wasn't a big deal and OS X supports SMB fairly well. You just use Go->Connect To Server and type in "smb://fileserver/share" and hit Connect. It will ask for credentials and you can save those in your keychain and it seems to work ok. The only problem is that these shares also seem to get unmounted when the PB is put to sleep so I'm having to reconnect on occasion (command-K in Finder brings up the "Connect To Server" dialog so it isn't too bad). Also if you mount the SMB share and then drag it to your startup items, the share gets automatically connected on login which is nice. Of course, I rarely log out, so that doesn't help when the PB goes to sleep and wakes up with no shares.
All in all, I'm a little bummed about the file sharing on OS X. It feels like I've been cheated somehow since everything else with the PB has been so good. Plus, using samba for OS X->Linux file sharing just seems wrong somehow. But hey, whatever works or should I say whatever works better than anything else I can dig up.

Does your replacement window company you hold a license?
Your home window company should prove its credibility through a valid licencing company or any other credentials or certifications. The presence of an accreditation stands as a proof of legitimacy and you can carefully weed out contractors that do not fulfill this criterion.
Are you recommending any specific window brand to me?
Some companies will recommend a specific brand and you should know the options you have and what you will be getting.
What is the normal duration of a window replacement project?
Quality installation takes time, but as a homeowner, you have the right to be notified about a tentative project completion timeline. Reliable replacement window companies will keep you updated about the pace and progress of the project.
Can I get testimonials from your other clients?
If you are stuck by a "hire-not hire" dilemma, you can request a prospective window replacement contractor to provide you with client testimonials. This will allow you to judge the company's track record and determine whether it can really address your unique needs. Replacement window contractors that are able to provide you with client testimonials or photos of previously-completed projects are able to demonstrate transparency and this is something that you should take into consideration while selecting a contractor.
Do you offer a warranty on your windows?
Warranties are often synonymous with accountability, which means that your replacement window company is ready to take responsibility for the quality of its work. Additionally, there may be times when accidents occur and hence, it is always sensible to do business with a company that offers warranty.
Home remodeling projects demand considerable cash outlay. So you should make sure that you work with the most reputed residential window installers in Prince William County, VA to make the most out of your investment and preserve your home's long-term value. When you ask these questions to a home remodeling contractor, you can get the details that you need to make a choice and to ensure desired outcomes after project completion. Contact us to schedule a free consultation session and to get your doubts clarified.

Life, But Better Fitness Food Sleep Mindfulness Relationships
These are the best ways to up your workout habits, according to study of over 60,000 people
By Madeline Holcombe, CNN
Published 6:08 PM EST, Wed December 8, 2021
VIDEO: If you do just one exercise every day, try this one
Sign up for CNN's Fitness, But Better newsletter series. Ease into a healthy routine with this seven-part fitness guide, backed by experts.
If you asked, most people would probably say they don't get to the gym enough.
Motivation may start high but frequently fizzles quickly, and with it goes the regular workouts. That's the problem researchers sought to solve with a new study released Wednesday.
They call it a megastudy: a new take on behavioral studies that looked at the gym attendance of over 60,000 people to discern the best ways to increase gym attendance.
It's important to write down not only what your goals are, but also when, where and how you'll accomplish them.
How to build a habit in 5 steps, according to science
Instead of looking at the efficacy of one workout program against a control group, this study tested 53 different tactics to compare how well they work against one another as well as a control group.
"If people are hoping to boost their physical activity or change their health behaviors, there are very low-cost behavioral insights that can be built into programs to help them achieve greater success," said the study's lead author Katy Milkman, the James G. Dinan Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and author of "How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be."
Some of the most significant methods included planning when you work out, getting reminders, offering incentives and discouraging missing more than one planned work out in a row.
Planning, reminding and rewarding
The study, which published Wednesday in the journal Nature, tested programs over four weeks at 24 Hour Fitness gyms, where participants' entries into the gym were recorded.
Simple programs that encouraged participants to plan their workouts ahead of time reminded them with a text message 30 minutes before they were scheduled to work out. The incentive, offering points worth about $0.22 on Amazon for each visit, increased the frequency of exercise by 9%, according to the study.
Health and fitness essentials to help you tackle your New Year's resolution (CNN Underscored)
The program could be made even more effective if people were offered an extra incentive of about $0.09 to return to the gym after missing a scheduled visit, Milkman said.
"Obviously, the amount of money is trivial (we call our rewards 'micro-incentives' for a reason), but it draws attention to the idea of avoiding multiple missed visits," said Milkman via email. "And that turned out to increase exercise by 27%."
Conveying the popularity of exercise also seemed to increase how often people were hitting the gym, according to the study.
"By conveying that exercise is a growing trend, we were able to make workouts seem more appealing and that increased gym attendance by 24% during our 4-week intervention," Milkman said via email.
One big takeaway is to keep coming back, said Heather Royer, professor of health economics at the University of California Santa Barbara. Royer was not part of the study.
"The best performing intervention is the one that rewards participants to come back to the gym after a workout. This might mean that (if) we fall off our plans we should try to encourage ourselves to get back to our plans," Royer said.
The study tracked the gym habits of over 60,000 participants.
Where this can go next
The study had helpful insights for those hoping to build exercise into more of their daily lives, but its impact stretches beyond that, Milkman said.
"We learn some about how hard it is to change habits, but the real contribution of the study is demonstrating how social scientists can benefit from working collaboratively in large teams," said Brian Nosek, cofounder of the Center for Open Science and professor of psychology at the University of Virginia. Nosek reviewed the study but was not part of conducting it.
Working out at home can be a more convenient way to staying healthy, but safety should be front of mind.
How to be safe during home workouts
"Many of the questions we study are very complex, and the standard methods using small samples and simple experimental designs are not up to the task of providing good insight."
Milkman said she sees this kind of study having important implications for the future.
"There are all sorts of policy applications from this kind of work," she said. "When we have an important policy question and don't know the best answer, pulling together dozens of scientists to quickly generate ideas and then testing them all at once is a worthwhile approach."
The method has even been used to test the best messages to encourage people to get vaccinated, Milkman added.
"We've introduced a massive, collaborative approach to social science experimentation that we call the megastudy and argue that more investments should be made in this area," she said. "The megastudy involves launching many parallel randomized controlled trials testing different hypotheses all at once with the same outcome variable so we can massively accelerate the pace of discovery."


Continuing its 'swachhta abhiyaan', the Estate department of AMC continued to crack the whip on institutes that have been pasting their posters illegally across the city.
On Sunday, the officials sealed two coaching classes in the North West Zone and South West Zone.
Officials said, "We have sealed Shivam Institute on Prahladnagar and Endeavor near Hotel President, off CG Road. These institutes stick their posters on walls, trees and electric poles without permission. This is not only illegal, it mars the beauty of the city."
On Friday, officials of the Estate department sealed the premises of 20 tuition classes in the city for pasting posters illegally at public places.
The owners have been told to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 and submit an undertaking on Rs 100 stamp paper that they will not put up any poster in public places in future.
Not just this, the AMC officials told the owners that the seals will be taken off only after they remove every poster they had put up across the city." Welcoming the move, home-maker Tina Kishan said, "Ours is such a beautiful city. These institutes, for their business purpose, paste these posters everywhere without a care for anyone's property. AMC is taking the right step in fining them and forcing them to remove the posters."


ANGELES CITY -- Radio broadcaster Jose Aubrey Pelayo IV who is also one of the official candidates of Partido Abe Kapampangan for councilor expressed his plans and advocacy for education in this highly urbanized city.
"During my time as a radio anchor, a lot of my listeners usually parents have been inquiring me about scholarship programs for their school-aged children," said Pelayo.
Pelayo added that "it is frustrating when I learned that some of thr applicants whom I assisted for scholarships in some learning institutions are not being accepted because they failed to reach the required grade. Those youngsters' dreams are crushed because of this. That is why I vow to fight for the average students to be given the opportunity for scholarship who are determined to finish their schooling."
Pelayo, who is the spokesperson of father of City College of Angeles, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, plans increase the number of scholars in Angeles City by putting up additional courses for students who find it difficult to reach tertiary formation.
The councilorable is also planning to sit down with the educational institutions and see the feasibility to lower the required grade for scholarship to give opportunities to more students.
In addition to the scholarship program, Pelayo also airs his plan to provide transportation and food allowance for the students of City College of Angeles who have less in life.
Pelayo is the youngest son of the late Dr. Jose Pelayo Sr., who was the former Social Welfare Secretary of President Diosdado Macapagal and Vice Mayor of Angeles.
Jay Pelayo is also the president of Metro Angeles City Journalists Association, Inc. and the president of Pampanga-Tarlac Energy Press Corps.

Q: Running Source Connector on Demand and Not Based on poll.interval.ms
*

*I have a table that is updated once / twice a day, but I want the data to be pushed to Kafka immediately after the table is updated.  Is it possible to avoid running the connector every poll.interval.ms, but rather to run it only after the table is updated (sync on demand or trigger the sync in some other way after the table update)

*I apologize if this question is stupid... Can sink connector be running on one Kafka cluster, but pull messages from another Kafka cluster and insert them into Postgres.  I'm not talking about replicating messages from Cluster A to Cluster B and then inserting messages from Cluster B to Postgres.  I'm talking about Connector running on Cluster B but pulling messages from Cluster A and writing them to Postgres.
Thanks!

A: *

*If you use log-based change data capture (Debezium, etc) then you capture changes as soon as they are there, without needing to re-query the database. If you use query-based CDC then you do have to query the database on a polling interval. For query-based vs log-based CDC see this blog or talk.
One option would be to use the Kafka Connect REST API to control the connector - but you're kind of going against the streaming paradigm here and will start to find awkward edges in doing this. For example, when do you decide to pause the connector? How do you determine that it's ingested all the changes? etc.
Using log-based CDC is low-impact on the source system and commonly the route that people go.

*Kafka Connect does not run on your Kafka cluster. Kafka Connect runs as its own cluster. Physically, it can be co-located for purposes of dev/sandbox environment (this ref arch is useful for production). See also this talk "Running Kafka Connect".
So in your example, "Cluster B" is actually a Kafka Connect cluster - and it would be configured to read from Kafka cluster "A", and that is fine.

Voters at 15 polling precincts to participate in House District 74 runoff
The 15 polling locations in District 74 will have two lines, one for municipal elections and the other for the runoff between Charlotte Meadows and Michael Fritz
Voters at 15 polling precincts to participate in House District 74 runoff The 15 polling locations in District 74 will have two lines, one for municipal elections and the other for the runoff between Charlotte Meadows and Michael Fritz Check out this story on montgomeryadvertiser.com: https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/politics/2019/08/01/separate-check-ins-required-municipal-and-district-74-runoff-voting/1890975001/
Kirsten Fiscus, Montgomery Advertiser Published 3:36 p.m. CT Aug. 1, 2019
When voters go to the polls on Aug. 27 for municipal elections, 15 polling locations will also have a runoff to participate in for the House District 74 seat left empty when Rep. Dimitri Polizos died in March.
The candidates, LEAD Academy Board chair Charlotte Meadows and Attorney Michael Fritz will go head-to-head to become the Republican nominee. The winner will face Democratic nominee Rayford Mack in a November general election.
District 74 largely encompasses Dalraida and stretches east to the Arrowhead Country Club.
Darryl Parker, the director of the Montgomery Election Center, said voters in District 74 will be required to check in separately to vote in the runoff and municipal elections. Parker said there will be separate lines on opposite sides of the room and poll workers will make it clear which line is which.

"It will be clearly marked with signs and knowledgeable poll workers," Parker said. "Once you get done with one, you'll go to the other side of the room and vote in the other."
All three legislator hopefuls met at Dalraida United Methodist Church on Thursday morning to appeal to retirees and state employees at a forum hosted by the Alabama Retired State Employees' Association.
While the candidates outlined their plans to shore up state funding to ensure retirement benefits are not reduced or eliminated, they also touched on the broader themes of their campaigns.
Mack proposed bolstering the state's film industry, comparing Alabama to Georgia, as a way to bring more revenue to the state. He also suggested that by creating a health care lottery, the state could save about $900 million that could then be reallocated to issues like the state's retirement system.
Meadows pointed to her accounting and business background as evidence of her fiscally conscious eye and said that's the best way to ensure a healthy general fund. She touched on the state's Medicaid budget and said she questioned if that money was being used in the best possible ways.
Fritz pushed industry and better paying jobs as the ticket to increasing the general fund. He noted that if more people had better paying jobs, they'd be paying more in state taxes therefore increasing revenue. He also discussed the option of a lottery, questioning why state legislators would not want to capture that revenue that's instead going over state lines to Georgia, Tennessee and Florida.

Hey honey, fall is in the air and it's the perfect time to rethink skin care routines. While we were playing in the sunshine (wearing sunblock of course) the scientists at Guerlain were buzzing about their labs and creating the new Abeille Royale Serum. Its key ingredient is honey, actually many varieties of the best ones from New Zealand along with Royal Jelly from France. Honey, well known for its healing properties is even used for healing wounds in traditional medicine practices. The Abeille Royal Serum is composed of a pure royal concentrate which stimulates the healing process and repairs the micro-damage done to our skin that forms wrinkles. After using the serum for a month my skin looks smoother and plumper, and it's become a daytime and nighttime addiction for me!
It's black as onyx and makes my skin clear and bright. The new Boscia Luminizing Black Mask is a combination of pine bark extract, an antioxidant, Vitamin C – and we all know how good that is – along with Montmorillonite Clay which exfoliates, soaks up excess oil and dirt, and finally, extracts of rosemary and eucalyptus which are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Spread the black gel all over your face, avoiding eye area and hairline and wait about 20 minutes. Then, my favorite part…..peel off! It peels off easily, removing dead skin cells and revealing skin that is clearer looking and more radiant.
Put your best foot forward! As we get ready to leave sandal weather and head for the boot brigade, our feet will start needing a different kind of TLC. Our focus on what color to paint our toes wanes, while paying attention to keeping feet soft, and making sure we don't get those…ugh…ugly cracked heels becomes more important. To the rescue is Votre Vu Trés Magni-feet Traitement Exfoliant pour les Pieds as well as Votre Vu Tres Magni-feet Crème pour les Pieds. Start with the exfoliating scrub which, along with the gritty bits, contains peppermint oil which not only smells nice, but has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Other ingredients include products which are anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and moisturizing. After I washed off the exfoliating cream I applied the rich foot cream which contains shea butter, arnica extract, verbena oil, menthol and geranium oil. My feet were as soft as baby skin. This two part foot regime will keep those tootsies smooth, lovely and ready for a fabulous fall kick-off!
From Amy, our fabulous Beauty Editor, comes this review: Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cleanser is quite possibly the richest and creamiest cleanser I've ever used on my face. It doesn't foam, and a dime-sized dollop of this heavenly stuff is more than enough to remove even the toughest, long wear formula makeup. Despite its thick texture, the lather transforms into a fluffy cloud, as its name suggests… as long as you dispense the correct amount. When used with the accompanying muslin cloth, Pure Cloud Cleanser turns into an at-home spa experience. I could feel the circulation in my face increase when using the cloth and cleanser in concert. Pure Cloud Cleanser is also loaded with moisturizers like shea and cocoa butters, so skin won't feel tight, post-rinse. The grime of the day, the too-hot office climate and the dry, crisp Fall air will all be rinsed away with a drop of this dream cream cleanser.

The Microsoft Windows 8 Tablet is finally approaching anxious Windows 8 fans. Microsoft Developer Network David Washington provided us information and reports on the recently released Windows 8 designed of portrait and landscape mode of Windows 8 on the future tablets that will be integrated with the OS. Microsoft released the detailed work for the portrait and landscape optimization on Thursday. They did research and work to enhance the design of the Windows 8 and with a thorough approach when it comes to applying the platform in different aspects and ratios. David Washington said they have spent hours in studying on the people who are using the tablet devices in their usability labs and also in the comfort of their homes. The giant software maker revealed its studies and allowed them to take a closer look on the specific needs of the Windows 8, so they can work out the body postures of the users, movements, and interactions with different applications when they use the tablets. According to Washington, the postures, grips, and orientation on tablets change frequently giving them the basic conclusion on their contribution. The number of combinations that are staggering surfaced as they continue working on the research. They also found out at hand that there are different ways to hold a tablet device, and users would like to seek the comfortable position when they use their tablet and get better position and orientation that feel right when they use the device.
As they continued their study, Microsoft decided to some goals for the Windows 8 optimization for landscape and portrait solutions. First, the company set their eyes on the easy rotation of the tablet to enhance ergonomic posture when users browse through their tablet. Second, they also considered the rotation of the Windows to be fast and fluid. Third, they set Windows to rotate in a predictable way when users come across the system and apps, so they maybe be able to give the users the full control. Lastly, they considered the possible developers side, so they can easily build and created high-quality design of layout either in portrait or landscape mode, depending on their preferences on what experiences they want to provide for the users.
Microsoft did a thorough study on the ways of reading news when using the web browser on portrait mode, and when viewing the photos, scrolling the emails and other methods. According to Washington, they have integrated the system experiences such as the keyboard, file picker, and charms so it can greatly work when the tablet is either in portrait or landscape mode. They work hard to get it right so that when you switch to portrait mode, you don't have to relearn the system, which works just fine.
Microsoft thoroughly worked out on the rotation which is greatly enhanced in the Windows 8. The giant software maker did a lot of work and made efforts to provide a smooth experience for the users as possible as they could. Washington said they are trying their best to work this out especially the rotation to be stable and predictable as possible, because they know how annoying, it is when tablets get an over-eager rotation when using it. Microsoft considered stabilizing the accelerometer in a tablet device running in Windows 8 before the rotation starts. This will be of great help in the prevention of accidental rotations, especially when you are on your tablet. Washington said they introduced this new hardware orientation lock so it can override gravity and keep the orientation table just as the user wants it to be.
Microsoft Windows 8 is designed to run on different screens. Microsoft designed it to support a number of aspect ratios such as 4:3 and 16:9. Washington said that the scaling platform of Windows 8 and apps can perfectly adapt and flow the content when used in different screens; also it fits perfectly and makes use of the space. With Microsoft's Windows 8 supports, it will allow the apps to adapt to a specific screen and ratio. There is also a minimum resolution for Metro apps on Windows 8, which is 1024 x 768. They decided to choose the size because it is the common designed and size when users browse through the web, and they have discovered that a strong majority, for example, 98.8% of Windows users are adapting this resolution, and some required higher. They considered the importance of having a minimum resolution for apps. They also gave consideration for developers to design their apps in the smallest main view without fragmentation on devices.

Last Tuesday, I gave a maintenance update regarding the state of the blog and what we have in store, and I kinda felt as though we should do that every week! I like keeping you guys updated with how I'm doing and some of the personal feelings I have towards this blog sometimes. I'd like for you guys to think that this blog is more than just me posting a lot of cool stuff I find, and that it's about discussing/geeking out about how much I love popular culture. Reaching out to you guys almost seems meta. So like many other scheduled events on this blog, Tuesday Maintenance Letters will try to be a thing these days. There's always something I want to be doing for this blog, so I think sharing with you guys what I do will not only tighten our cyber bond, but also make you notice all the effort I put into things that aren't necessarily obvious XD.
Saturday Reblog – Anyone who posts a comment throughout the week gets put into a pool where I choose a lucky winner to get reblogged by us!
Weekend Funnies – 24 hilarious images collected from the deep corners of the interwebs.
Read on below about what's new with our blog as of recently.
Books are Made Official by Including them in the Banners and Buttons!
A while back, we announced that we'd be covering books. However, we haven't really made any book related posts and there hasn't been much hype about them since first conception. But now we're definitely making them official by including them in new banners and the new buttons screen. I'm about 3/5 of my way through Dance with Dragons, so as soon as I'm done with that, I can destroy The Hunger Games in about 2 Days. So expect as massive influx of book related posts soon after.
In addition to the new category button, as you can tell, I've updated the other buttons as well to better reflect what's trending in both the pop culture world as well as mine. These buttons are either flashbacks to previous posts and even present a wee look into the future of what's in store here at Banana Scoop.
After my humongous stint with Catwoman, I'm more than ready to ease it back a bit and draw some stick figures. Miles and Chad are back this week, so look out for more Universidaze. Be sure to check out the Universidaze page to read more of our comics!
WordPress Widgets are really neat. I feel like they add new features to them all the time and you wouldn't know about them unless you checked everyone. There's a recently comment section that I definitely think will help viewers jump into discussions that are really popular. It's every blog editor's habit to respond to most comments given on this site, so you'll excuse me if that recent comments are totally filled with my responses to fellow bloggers.
This blog is about 1 year old. I know I started this blog in the summer, but I wouldn't say we were the very well oiled machine we are today about a year ago. A year ago, I had a different mind set about what I wanted the blog to be, and I included a few ideas from then that would be consistent now. So in some sort of honor of celebration of that time, I'm going to feature a lot of old articles in the Favorite Scoops section. Especially if you're a new reader, be sure to stop by some of them and give your thoughts. Some of them are really good articles that weren't given the publicity they needed just because we weren't popular back then.
Slowly but surely, our new feature 'Live Discussion' is taking off. We've had a number of people stop by and put their 2 cents in, but not nearly enough! Be sure if you're feeling in talky mood to stop by and start a new discussion or maybe add to an old one. I'd like for some opinions to fly there, as seeing other people's opinions in one way or more widens your own scope of mind.

Q: Relationship between ordinal regression with a cloglog link vs. one with a (negative) log-log link and reversed ordered factor Suppose I have an ordinal variable $Y$ that takes values $K=\{1,\dots,k\}$ (e.g., a Likert scale, or a score from 1 to 10) and predictors $\boldsymbol{X}$. I fit two ordinal regression models containing parameters $\boldsymbol{\beta}$ and thresholds $\boldsymbol{\theta}$.

*

*$P(Y\leq i|\boldsymbol{X})= f_1(\boldsymbol{X};\boldsymbol{\beta}_1;\boldsymbol{\theta}_1)$ for $i\in K$, where $f_1$ is the complementary log-log inverse link function (link function $f^{-1}_1=log[-log(1-\gamma)]$).

*$P(rev(Y)\leq i^\prime|\boldsymbol{X})= f_2(\boldsymbol{X};\boldsymbol{\beta}_2;\boldsymbol{\theta}_2)$ for $i^\prime\in K^\prime$, where $f_2$ is the (negative*) log-log inverse link function (link function $f^{-1}_2=-log[-log(\gamma)]$), $rev(Y)$ indicates that the levels of $Y$ are reversed (the $k$th level becomes level $1$, $k-1$th level becomes level $2$, etc) and $K^\prime=rev(K)$ (meaning $i^\prime=k-i+1$).
In both, $\gamma$ denotes the probability that the event in $P(\cdot)$ occurs.
My intuition is that these two models will be equivalent, or at least very closely related, for two (admittedly imprecise) reasons:

*

*$P(Y\leq i|\boldsymbol{X})=P(rev(Y)> i^\prime|\boldsymbol{X})^\ddagger=1-P(rev(Y)\leq i^\prime|\boldsymbol{X})^\ddagger$ and $f_1$ models $1-\gamma$ while $f_2$ models $\gamma$. (In this case, the two models would generate complementary probabilities without reversing variable $Y$, and would generate identical probabilities when one models $rev(Y)$.)

*I have been told that the complementary log-log link is typically used when higher categories are more probable (the distribution of $Y$ is left skewed), and the (negative) log-log link is typically used when lower categories are more probable (the distribution of $Y$ is right skewed).
How close is my intuition here? Can anyone provide some mathematical clarification as to what form the relationship between the two models does (or does not) take?
And if there is a relationship, how are the coefficients $\{\boldsymbol{\beta}_1, \boldsymbol{\beta}_2\}$ and the thresholds $\{\boldsymbol{\theta}_1, \boldsymbol{\theta}_2\}$ related between models?

*I have seen some places where the negative log-log link given above is simply called the log-log link (e.g., the R package ordinal). I'm not sure what the convention is for naming this link function.
$^\ddagger$ I'm having trouble determining which of these two inequalities should have the "or equal to." Brain fog.


Libraries have often been associated with newspapers because of their traditional dependence on "pulp" as the delivery mechanism for their services and products. And although it's easy to recognize the digital shift has changed this dramatically, the connection is still there … looming.
I guess that's why, I find this recent research study released by the Associated Press so intriguing. From my quick read through the 71 page report (it's an easy read. Good job AP) two distinct points resonated with me.
"Consumers are using news as social currency in a variety of ways: to stay connected with loved ones, to be the hub in their circle of friends, to advance in their careers and to engage with others they don't know. Current technologies and globalization have led to changes in the value chain for news. Is it the news industry or consumers of news who produce social currency from news? Today, it is both. News is no longer simply delivered, in a one-way transaction, from producer to consumer. Communications are twoway, and news is widely shared among consumers themselves. Understanding the dynamics of this new environment and creating mechanisms to enable better search and sharing of news will harness the power of this emerging social currency system…"
These have me thinking a lot about ways libraries can help satisfy these information needs for our customers. Heaven knows we have volumes, tomes and even access to hundreds of exabytes of potential back story files. But are our current organizational structures (Dewey, MARC etc.) and search tool interfaces optimizable in their current formats to support these news and information needs? More directly stated… how can we help our customers fulfill their back story needs which in turn allow them to turn information into "social currency"?
I find this interesting and maybe hopeful especially in the current reign of infotainment and virtual voyeurism in which we live. David Baldacci's latest book, The Whole Truth, investigates the world of "Perception Management" where, "PMs are not spin doctors because they don't spin facts. They create facts and then sell them to the world as truth". (Author's note.) This is interesting in that the waters of information have been so muddied by PMs, the Internet, wikis, blogs and the media all speaking as if they were the authority on things, that finding the truth may be near impossible. If people want to know background, or history of an issue, and are seeking depth, maybe it's because they are tiring of being feed broth. They want truth (wonder if they can handle the truth). But seriously, the philosopher in me also wonders how we can archive data, and make it searchable in a fashion that keeps us out of sculpting or determining what info the searcher gets. How do we keep from being too helpful thereby interfering with the search process? I think AquaBrowser technology is a giant leap in the right direction, but even it does not cast a wide enough net.
