Such sadness....I was goin to buy a V801SH from a japanese friend of mine, but sadly it can't be unlocked..!!
the preset code is 9999. try that.
this is an awesome phone, unfortunately i do not need it and got it as a gift. i'm selling it for $500 (free shipping).
@ mike, thanks for your advices, i bought the european version, and i love this phone! thanks!
@ simon, it does have bluetooth.
Does anyone know how to set up the bluetooth on this phone? Everytime i try to use it it comes up with a message that says enter phone code, i enter the preset code of 5555 which i was told by vodafone uk to enter but now this says incorrect code. does anyone have any ideas.
Anyone figured the set-up for "email" section to work on the 902 on the T-mobile US network?
No problem Numo, pleasure to be of any assistance. Name is Mike. The only reason MP3 is locked on the Japanese version is because Vodafone KK (Japan) wants you to load music through "Vodafone Live" (a form of subscription and they make money from packet transmissions, i.e. 100 yen per 100KB of data). That's why the MP3 section is locked for the Japanese version. The only way I found out how to load music is to use a V801SH which can record either in analog/optical onto a SD card of the V801SH (of course you need to have a subscription with Vodafone on the V801SH or the multimedia section of the V801SH is useless) and that's about the only way I found ways to record music onto a SD card and be able to listen to music on the 902SH.
I kind of like the Japanese version of the 902SH, to me the software seems more stable and it's better built (optical section) than the European version. Different software which the Japanese version has the Japanese IME font so I can use Japanese for mail (read/write Japanese), the European version is "read Only" Japanese 'kanji' software.
Another nice thing is that the Japanese version comes with a charging cradle that makes it so easy to charge. Rather than use the plug on the bottom of the phone. The jack will eventually loosen and won't be able to charge if you keep plugging in and out.
That's about all I can write about the difference between the two 902's. Hope you'll get the one you want!
Thank you very much, Unknown.
So, the european version is the way to go, right?
The European version can be fully unlocked and MP3 player used. Japan model the "Sound&Ringtone" section is locked and cannot be unlocked therefore you cannot load MP3 and listen.
Another difference is the camera section the Japan model has is own section called "DCIM" all photo taken are stored on this folder. The European version doesn't have the "DCIM" folder and all photo's are stored in the "pictures" folder under "data folder"
I have both units and that the difference I have noticed so far numo. I hope this information will help.
So, there is no one who can compare the european an the japanese versions?
i would really like if you could help!
It is the worst handset I have ever owned. There are problems with video calls, music downloads, video downloads, e-mail accounts and the 3G streaming is of poor quality compared to other handsets.
The video recording itself is about on par with the very first 3G handsets.
The signal for actually making calls is also poor.
Only 8 meg handset memory!!
It is brilliant. Great photos good fun and a good phone.
does japanese version has T9???
can anybody show me how to play mp3 music on the 902 , i got all the music in the sd card , but couldn't open & play them.
i just want to know wich version do you think its better, the japanese one, or the european one? and why?
also, does the japanese one have unlocked mp3 player?

Shale gas is no bonanza for EU, warns Potočnik

Shale gas is no bonanza for EU, warns Potočnik by ENDSEUROPE, 14 May 2013
Exploiting Europe's shale gas reserves will help ease gas prices but it will not make the region self-sufficient, EU environment commissioner Janez Potočnik told the fifth European Economic Congress in Poland on Tuesday. "Even in the most optimistic case, European shale gas development can only compensate for the decline in conventional gas production," he said. "This would basically help maintaining the current level of EU import dependency to 60%". Potential reserves in certain member states have turned out to be less significant than early estimates had indicated, Mr Potočnik noted, adding that other factors such as population density also make exploitation more difficult than in the US. Important parts of the legal framework needed to regulate shale gas are already in place, according to him. But safeguards must be adopted to make sure good practices in areas such as preventing fugitive methane emissions are implemented. With many countries now moving quickly to adopt their own rules, the European Commission also aims to provide a coherent EU regulatory framework to give businesses certainty, he continued. Specific guidance will be issued and legal gaps filled following a major assessment due to be released later this year. … In the European Parliament, Italian MEP Andrea Zanoni has proposed mandatory environmental impact assessments for shale gas activities. This is already a requirement in Austria, Denmark and Bulgaria. In Poland, the government is seeking an exemption for certain exploratory shale gas wells. [Emphasis added]
Facts against fracking as EU energy option – Harkin by Westmeath Examiner, May 15, 2013
Marian Harkin MEP with Mary-Jo Mullarkey of the Irish in Europe Association (International), and Geraldine Ring, Fracking Free Ireland Brussels Branch, following the event, Beyond the hype: The economics of shale gas in Europe, at the European Parliament yesterday (May 14). Shale gas would only produce 2-3% of Europe's future energy needs, a conference in Brussels heard yesterday. MEP Marian Harkin was at the conference in the European Parliament, and she is challenging the notion that shale gas can supply a significant part of Europe's gas needs. Following Werner Zittel's argument at the conference that shale gas would only produce between 2-3% of European energy needs, Ms Harkin expressed concern at the lack of a clear strategy by the EU energy commissioner. "Just recently, Commission Oettinger said there was a possibility of shale gas supplying 10-15% of Europe's energy needs in future, yet yesterday's figures from the International Energy Agency, quoted by Werner Zittel, put that figure at 2-3%, significantly lower than Commission estimates," she said. She thinks that difference should have alarm bells ringing across European capitals. The MEP said it would be nonsense for the EU commissioner to start enabling the process of fracking for shale gas if it did not have the potential to make a significant contribution to energy security and help guarantee lower gas prices. "The evidence we heard from two experts (David Hughes and Werner Zittel) strongly challenged the hype surrounding shale gas as a genuine option for Europe's much-desired energy security," said Ms Harkin. "It poses serious questions as to why any energy policy mix should include this new and expensive technology if there is not a reasonable return of gas supply. "The EU and its individual member states have to make policy choices based on good evidence, and the analysis we heard today indicates that fracking should not be part of any sustainable energy mix for Europe," the Ireland North and West MEP concluded. [Emphasis added]

Putting a price on nature, literally
Last updated Feb 9, 2016
IMAGE: Arizona State University economist and sustainability professor Joshua Abbott says that without putting a dollar value on natural capital it cannot be measured against other assets and expenses.
Credit: Arizona State University
(Tempe, Ariz., Feb. 8, 2016) – We know that nature is valuable, but how does this value compare to other assets? Not as lumber or drinking water or a fancy dinner, but as standing forests, healthy aquifers or living organisms – what is the dollar value of this natural capital?
Arizona State University economist and sustainability professor Joshua Abbott can calculate an answer. Abbott – with lead author Eli Fenichel of Yale and colleagues from California State University at Chico, Michigan State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – published findings on such values today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The research team developed an interdisciplinary equation to estimate the current monetary value of natural resources, like groundwater, before it is pumped to the surface and used.
To calculate the value of natural capital, you start with the same economic principles used to value traditional assets, then factor in changes in ecosystems and human behavior that influence the appreciation or depreciation of that natural resource, Abbott explained. The result is a figure that can be compared on a balance sheet with traditional assets like real estate, factory machinery and infrastructure.
"Without an apples-to-apples valuation approach, the value of natural capital cannot be measured against other assets and expenses," Abbott said. "Our work can help governments and businesses track the sustainable use of natural resources."
The authors' quantitative framework enables the valuation of natural capital in a way that is grounded in economic theory, accounts for biophysical and economic feedbacks and can guide interdisciplinary efforts to measure sustainability.
To illustrate their framework, the authors applied it to the value of groundwater in the Kansas High Plains Aquifer. The aquifer is rapidly depleting as farmers use the water to support food production.
Over the decade of 1996 to 2005, according to the authors' calculations, Kansas lost approximately $110 million per year (2005 USD) of capital value. By depleting groundwater and changing the way they managed the aquifer, Kansas created an annual loss in wealth approximately equal to the state's 2005 budget surplus.
"Without a calculation like ours, policy makers would lack critical information about how food production impacts our water wealth," said Abbott.
"Kansas can improve the sustainability of its agricultural system through careful groundwater management, such as policies that truly foster water-efficient agriculture, and investments in other natural and traditional assets to help offset its lost water wealth," said Yale's Eli Fenichel.
Globally, groundwater supports 40 percent of the world's food production. Abbott says the framework they have published would apply to any groundwater supply, not just the Kansas aquifer. It can also be applied to other natural resources.
Previously, the authors calculated the value of fish in the water as compared to fish sold at market.
The authors' framework can help policy makers develop better measures of local, regional or even national sustainability – a need expressed by prominent agencies such as the World Bank and United Nations Environment Programme.
"Sustainability is ultimately about making sure that the portfolio of assets we give future generations – including natural capital, but also our knowledge and physical infrastructure – is at least as valuable as the one we inherited," Abbott said. "Our research helps us do a better job of bringing nature into the balance sheet of society, so that policy makers and business leaders can do a better job of evaluating tradeoffs."

For Celebrating Democracy Week, Florey Primary School looked at CCE in an historical context and used an information literacy research focus to research the role of the citizen in ancient societies.
What was it like to be a citizen in an ancient society?
Preliminary discussion took place about the terms 'citizen' and 'society' and the nature of freedom of the individual in society.
The 60 students were then enrolled in eight groups, each group focusing on one of the following societies: Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, Ancient China, the Vikings, the Middle Ages and the Aztecs.
The students were required to prepare a profile of an eminent citizen from their chosen society. They chose Tutankhamun, Hammurabi, Pericles, Julius Caesar, Qin Shuaung, Leif Eriksson, Charlemagne and Montezuma II. They were also required to construct a model indicative of the time and prepare a poster which had to include a map. Most of the teams prepared PowerPoint presentations which were looped and played continuously during the presentation afternoon. Some students also dressed in costume to help dramatise their talks.
Our school has a very culturally diverse student population so we were fortunate to have the assistance of our ESL teacher and three STAs when the Year 6 students worked on their projects during their weekly library session. The presentation was staged on a small stage in the library, so audience capacity was limited to parents, friends and other community members. Several representatives from other classes were also invited.
Using citizenship as an analytical tool, the students have become familiar with the history of a variety of ancient societies. This focus has enhanced their understanding of the way society worked in different contexts in the past compared to their own era.
A multiple intelligences approach ensured each student was inspired to contribute to the team effort in an appropriate way based on individual talents. Those who chose art, created some truly impressive work. The computer buffs created imaginative electronic presentations and the technologists proudly displayed some amazing models.
The enthusiasm shown by the students is a strong indicator of the success that can be achieved with this pedagogical approach. The learning process occurs as a natural outcome of the engagement the students experience when given the opportunity to display their talents and to pursue their particular interest in some aspects of a broad topic.

Q: Variable en código try/catch siempre devuelve Undefined o vacia en otra función en Wordpress Estoy tratando de hacer un switch de mensajes para el plugin contact form 7 en el que, dependiendo de la excepción que devuelva el cliente Soap, pueda personalizar el mensaje al usuario y para ello he creado este código:
try{

    ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
    //creamos el cliente
    $cliente = new SoapClient("$url", array(
        'login'          => "XXX",
        'password'       => "XXX"
        )
    );
    //hacemos la consulta
    $resultado = $cliente->registrar_usuario($params);

    //añadimos la respuesta personalizada
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_response_output', 'wpse_form_response_output_ok', 10, 4 );

    // EMAIL CON DEBUG (COMENTAR AL FINALIZAR)
    mail_debug($resultado);

}
catch (SoapFault $ex) {
    $error = $ex->faultcode;

//RESPUESTA ANTE UNA EXCEPCIÓN

function wpse_form_response_output_ko( $output, $class, $content, $instance) {
global $error;

    switch ($error) {
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.IdUsuarioInvalido':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario no es válido.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.UsuarioExistente':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario ya existe.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;

        default:
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: Ha ocurrido un fallo al enviar el formulario, revise bien los campos.'));
            break;
    }
}

    // MOSTRAMOS LA RESPUESTA PERSONALIZADA
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_response_output', 'wpse_form_response_output_ko', 10, 4 );

    // ANULAMOS EMAIL DE CONFIRMACIÓN SI HAY EXCEPCIÓN
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_skip_mail',  '__return_true' );

    // EMAIL CON DEBUG (COMENTAR AL FINALIZAR)
    mail_debug($ex);

}

Pero no hay manera de que funcione la variable $error dentro de la función wpse_form_response_output_ko, si no la manejo como global me da un error de undefined y si la manejo como global, aparece vacia y siempre me da el resultado por defecto del switch.

A: El problema que estás sufriendo es debido a que la variable $error que has creado no es global, es local al bloque catch (SoapFault $ex) { ... } y fuera de ese bloque no existe, por lo que la "otra" variable que intentas acceder no contiene lo que esperas.

Ejemplo usando global $error
En este ejemplo agrego global $error en el bloque catch para que $error apunte a la variable $error global al asignarle el error:
try { ... }
catch (SoapFault $ex) {
    global $error;
    $error = $ex->faultcode;

//RESPUESTA ANTE UNA EXCEPCIÓN

function wpse_form_response_output_ko( $output, $class, $content, $instance) {
global $error;

    switch ($error) {
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.IdUsuarioInvalido':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario no es válido.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.UsuarioExistente':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario ya existe.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;

        default:
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: Ha ocurrido un fallo al enviar el formulario, revise bien los campos.'));
            break;
    }
}

    // MOSTRAMOS LA RESPUESTA PERSONALIZADA
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_response_output', 'wpse_form_response_output_ko', 10, 4 );

    // ANULAMOS EMAIL DE CONFIRMACIÓN SI HAY EXCEPCIÓN
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_skip_mail',  '__return_true' );

    // EMAIL CON DEBUG (COMENTAR AL FINALIZAR)
    mail_debug($ex);

}

Ahora ambas variables apuntarán a la misma variable global $error.

Ejemplo usando $GLOBALS['error']
En este ejemplo hago uso de la variable súperglobal $GLOBALS para acceder al contenido de la variable global.
try { ... }
catch (SoapFault $ex) {
    $GLOBALS['error'] = $ex->faultcode;

//RESPUESTA ANTE UNA EXCEPCIÓN

function wpse_form_response_output_ko( $output, $class, $content, $instance) {

    switch ($GLOBALS['error']) {
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.IdUsuarioInvalido':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario no es válido.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.UsuarioExistente':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario ya existe.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;

        default:
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: Ha ocurrido un fallo al enviar el formulario, revise bien los campos.'));
            break;
    }
}

    // MOSTRAMOS LA RESPUESTA PERSONALIZADA
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_response_output', 'wpse_form_response_output_ko', 10, 4 );

    // ANULAMOS EMAIL DE CONFIRMACIÓN SI HAY EXCEPCIÓN
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_skip_mail',  '__return_true' );

    // EMAIL CON DEBUG (COMENTAR AL FINALIZAR)
    mail_debug($ex);

}

Ejemplo usando $GLOBALS[__FILE__ . '_error']
Hay casos en los que elegimos usar una variable global que está siendo usada y modificada en otras zonas del código. En ese caso podemos generar una variable que será única en el ámbito de un mismo archivo PHP concatenando a la variable estática __FILE__ que contiene la ruta completa al script un sufijo de nuestra elección (_error en nuestro ejemplo):
try { ... }
catch (SoapFault $ex) {
    $GLOBALS[__FILE__ . '_error'] = $ex->faultcode;

//RESPUESTA ANTE UNA EXCEPCIÓN

function wpse_form_response_output_ko( $output, $class, $content, $instance) {

    switch ($GLOBALS[__FILE__ . '_error']) {
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.IdUsuarioInvalido':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario no es válido.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.UsuarioExistente':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: el usuario ya existe.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;
        case 'Educativa.Aula.Error.ClaveUsuarioInvalida':
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: La clave no es valida.'));
            break;

        default:
            return sprintf( '
%s
', __('Error: Ha ocurrido un fallo al enviar el formulario, revise bien los campos.'));
            break;
    }
}

    // MOSTRAMOS LA RESPUESTA PERSONALIZADA
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_response_output', 'wpse_form_response_output_ko', 10, 4 );

    // ANULAMOS EMAIL DE CONFIRMACIÓN SI HAY EXCEPCIÓN
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_skip_mail',  '__return_true' );

    // EMAIL CON DEBUG (COMENTAR AL FINALIZAR)
    mail_debug($ex);

}

Con esta última alternativa minimizamos el riesgo de colisión de variables globales.

Detroit Red Wings hope that as lineup jells, they're able to score a few more goals
Helene St. James
Brendan Perlini looked relieved when he saw his linemate's shot sink into the opponent's net.
While fellow newcomer Robby Fabbri showed a hot hand in his debut and ever since, Perlini finally has a point to take into his next game. The Detroit Red Wings host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena (7:30 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit) on a five-game points streak.
Perlini earned an assist in Saturday's shootout loss at San Jose when he fed a nice pass to Taro Hirose, whose shot from the slot made it 2-2.
"It was nice to finally get us on the board there," Perlini said Monday. "Our line, we've been snakebitten for a while, so hopefully that kind of breaks it up and we can get going and contribute here."
Perlini, 23, joined the Wings Oct. 28, acquired by general manager Steve Yzerman from the Blackhawks in exchange for defense prospect Alec Regula.
Perlini is the highest draft pick in the Wings' lineup, taken 12th overall in 2014 (the year the Wings grabbed Dylan Larkin at No. 15). Perlini wasn't getting a chance in Chicago; the Wings are giving him that opportunity.
More on the future:Filip Zadina is injured; here's what team is saying
"The biggest thing I've tried to focus on with him is on himself and on the process of how he's playing," coach Jeff Blashill said. "If you're not doing it right or you're not getting chances, it's not going to get better. But if you're doing it right and you're getting chances, in time, production will come.
"It's a long-term approach with Perls and I think he's coming."
Perlini has played on a line with Frans Nielsen at center and either Hirose or Adam Erne on the other wing. Hirose subbed back in Saturday after being a healthy scratch. He adds more offensive upside than Erne (who has yet to earn a point this season) because Hirose is a savvy playmaker.
Maybe the line can start showing up on the score sheet. There hasn't been much opportunity for proper practices because of a 16-game slate in November. That's one thing that makes a difference when players don't know one another's tendencies that well.
"It's trying to mesh and jell and get to know each other and stuff," Perlini said. "Sometimes there's initial success like with Fabbri, a couple goals in the first game, and sometimes you have to wait a bit. For us, we're trying to communicate out there and talk about where each other is going to be and find certain spots. Once you get that stuff in, then like the other night, we found a soft spot. Hopefully now you will start to see it come a little bit more."
The Wings haven't had much secondary scoring. It wasn't until Andreas Athanasiou scored twice at San Jose that he reached double digits in points this season. For Perlini and Hirose to connect was an encouraging sign.
"Brendan has had tons of chances and he just needs to get one," Dylan Larkin said. "It was good he got his first point. Taco coming back in the lineup and scoring a huge goal was huge for our team. Those guys can be dangerous. Everyone in our lineup has proven to be a good player at some point in their career to be here. I think guys are starting to jell throughout our lineup so that's good."
[ Why the Wings are sticking with struggling vets ]
Larkin, Tyler Bertuzzi and Anthony Mantha have had great chemistry since last season. Athanasiou and Valtteri Filppula have played their best hockey since gaining Fabbri five games ago. And Erne helped add to the physicality on the fourth line next to Luke Glendening and Darren Helm.
Now Perlini has a chance to build on Saturday's performance and help his line make a bigger impact.
"I've told Perls this, game by game he's gotten more opportunities," Blashill said. "I think his confidence looks like it's growing. I think he feels better about his game, feels more comfortable in our systems, feels more comfortable being here. As a result, that whole line I thought looked like a good line the other night. I actually liked the makeup of all four lines the other night — it was the first time where I would say I liked, from both an offensive and a defensive perspective, each line."

Sandra Brown is an Instructor of Applied Biology and Soil Science at UBC's Department of Land and Food Systems. She teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate level and is an recipient of UBC Soil Science Teaching and Mentorship Award.
Dr. Brown's students in APBI402/SOIL502 – Sustainable Soil Management were tasked with applying of fundamental, unifying, soil science principles in sustainable ecosystem management in various real-world contexts through a series of case studies and team presentations.
Through support from UBC's Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTLT) and the Open Case Studies Project, Dr. Brown engages in open pedagogy and shares her expertise and experiences with her fellow instructors.
Sandra and Maja (co-instructors for APBI 402/SOIL 502) shared their pedagogical intentions and expectations in using case studies to support their students' learning process in becoming soil science practitioners. Each case study was designed to support students' ability to apply key soil principles in a specific, real-life context. The teaching team also highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of the case studies to demonstrate the applicability of key soil science principles and the relevance of the course content.

Three-dimensional analysis of collagen lamellae in the anterior stroma of the human cornea visualized by second harmonic generation imaging microscopy
Naoyuki Morishige, Yuki Takagi, Tai ichiro Chikama, Atsushi Takahara, Teruo Nishida
Applied Molecular Chemistry
Purpose. The structure of collagen lamellae in the anterior stroma of the human cornea is thought to be an important determinant of corneal rigidity. The three-dimensional structure of such collagen lamellae in normal human corneas was examined. Methods. The anterior portion of 27 normal human corneas was obtained from donor tissue for Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) surgery, and blocks (~3-mm square) of the central cornea were examined by second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging microscopy. Each cornea was scanned from the surface of Bowman's layer to a depth of 150 fxm, and SHG forward signals were collected. The angles of collagen lamellae immediately below to a depth of 30 fim below Bowman's layer (sutural lamellae) as well as of those at a depth of 50 or 100 fxm were measured. The density and width of sutural lamellae were also evaluated. Results. Collagen lamellae in the anterior stroma were evenly distributed and randomly oriented. The angle of sutural lamellae relative to Bowman's layer was 19.19 ± 4.34° (mean ± SD). The angles of collagen lamellae at depths of 50 or 100;xm were 8.91 ± 2.91 and 6.91 ± 2.11°, respectively. The density of sutural lamellae was 910.0 ± 480.4/mm2, and their width was 1314 ± 5.03 and 7.11 ± 3.00;xm in the region immediately beneath and 30 fxm below Bowman's layer, respectively. Conclusions. Collagen lamellae in the anterior stroma of the normal human cornea are interwoven in three dimensions and adhere densely to Bowman's layer. This structure may contribute to the rigidity and curvature of the anterior portion of the cornea.

Technological hype, an acquisitive strategy and a pop star combined to build 3D Systems into a $10 bln company. A gloomy forecast, though, sent its shares tumbling another 15 pct. The industry is finding it's easier to manufacture excitement than earnings.
3D Systems on Feb. 5 cut its earnings forecast in a move that sent its shares down by about 15 percent. The company, whose products enable the printing of physical items, slashed its outlook because of higher-than-expected R&D spending.
Rivals Stratasys and ExOne also both lowered estimates on Jan. 14.

Also, I have a search bar that updates the tracks. So, when I go to the site and click "Play" audio output. when I type something in the search and get new tracks - it does not work. how come? src in the right path, in the console errors do not get

A: As answered privately angular-media-player is built natively around playlists, and is not designed to have many directives in one page (events collide as they are name-based and bad stuff happens).
Most straightforward approach is build a playlist comprising all the songs in your page, then just use ng-click="mediaPlayer.playPause($index)" inside the ng-repeat loop.

A Touch of Sin
Film, Action and adventure
Don't go into this barbed cry of pain from Jia Zhang-ke (one of China's greatest modern filmmakers) expecting subtlety. He's created plenty of pointed undercurrents in movies such as 'The World', 'Still Life' and '24 City', but now an implied violence comes explosively to the surface. Drawing on true stories apparently gleaned from the Chinese version of Twitter, his drama follows four residents of the People's Republic, ranging across a spectrum of communities from north to south, who are each pushed to vengeful breaking point.
The bloodshed (gory shootings, knives wielded with high spirits) may seem gratuitous in the moment, but it accumulates power and incisiveness. The violence ends up acting as a way for the writer-director to diagnose the ills of a country whose economic and social fabric is straining under the effects of rapid modernisation.

title: About Me
---

Welcome to my site.  I'm a geek, flat out geek.  I love all things technology.

Every year I try to set out to teach myself something new for the year, something that I don't generally work with on a day to day basis.  Seems like every year I try to teach myself something with programming.  I have books dating back to VB6 still, but somehow I never really make anything of it.

* Goal for 2015:  Teach myself a little more about web programming, specifically using Ruby, Python, maybe some Jekyll, if I have time.

I'm using this site to teach myself more about [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/), [GitHub](https://github.com/), [Python](https://www.python.org/) and anything else that pops into my head!

Thanks for reading!

Neurotypica
The search for the neural origins of intelligent behaviour.
Is modern life really the problem? A return to nature probably won't solve it.
August 2, 2018 By dorian
The movie Captain Fantastic portrays a sort of scenario I think many of us have entertained at one time or another. Pack a knife, some food, and a bag full of books and gap it into the wilderness. Live off the land, and indulge our atavistic tendencies – a simpler, more fulfilling life. Probably too simple…
The protaganist, Ben, and his wife appear to be disillusioned, but well-educated activists who've moved their family deep into the Washington state forest. They teach their kids the perils of capitalism, and instill instead the value of living in harmony with nature, surviving off the land. School happens around the fire, and they go hard in the paint chewing through a reading list that would make Noam Chomsky quiver with happiness. Of course this all goes awry when they're forced to reconnect with the family they left behind. But more on that later.
Sounds great, huh? I know plenty of people who'd like to give up this unfulfilling modern life and get closer to our paleolithic roots. Certainly the tedious saturation of health and well-being advice centering on this idea indicate a hungry audience. But there are two problematic assumptions that strike me with this idea that are worth considering.
The first assumption is that we are aware enough of the conditions that optimally satisfy human needs. It's an easy thing to say we evolved to achieve one thing, and we now conduct ourselves in service of something else (and usually something that's less ideal for us than the first thing). But it turns out that the evolutionary narrative is far more complex than this and has rightly been critiqued as a variant of Kipling's "Just So" stories (e.g. how did the giraffe get her spots? By getting splashed by a muddy hippo). One can tell any number of plausible "just so" stories about the conditions that produced whatever evolution. Far harder to conclusively prove it. One example I would pull out of Captain Fantastic's world is the size of his family. You have Ben, his wife, and their six kids. A group of 8. But the research following Dunbar's seminal works on community size indicates, if nothing else, that we can support far larger groups. To suggest that a small number in a more ideal environment (e.g. one family in the woods) is any better than a more ideal number in a less ideal environment (e.g. a good workplace, or a social club, or even one of those beautiful cul-de-sacs where all the kids are the same age and as a consequence everyone knows one another) seems to be a bold claim. We know that community relations and social interactions are vital, if not one of the single most important factors related to human well-being. Can a small group really fill that need? It's a question worth asking.
The second assumption is actually something of a paradox. Humans have access to physical and mental resources we don't necessarily use and a kind of extraordinary flexibility to thrive. From Siberia to the Sahara, we can dominate almost any biosphere. So we should take advantage of those resources and put them to work. But of course, the reason we're doing that is because we have been taken out of some ideal environment (i.e. the wilderness) and placed into another context (i.e. the modern world). All of a sudden, that unique robustness we were talking about becomes a fragile, brittle thing, prone to shattering under the attendant pressures of modern life. Are humans robust or not? To say they are robust in some contexts and not in others implies that, in fact, they are not robust but are rather sensitive to changes in the environment. It also assumes that the kinds of problems we see today and the historical prevalence of various mental and physical illnesses are not mirrored, if not in kind, in number with that of the ancient world. Everyone's favourite book on this topic (Sapiens) places the blame squarely on the shoulders of agriculture, and more and more we seem to think that the nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle was the peak of our environmental suitability. But was it? For example, are we willing to accept enormous levels of infant mortality? In Sapiens, Harari explicitly points out that agriculture allowed our population to boom. Which implies of course that we accepted a far higher rate of death back then. Is that ok? I'm not sure it's enough to say these would be mitigated by integrating modern medical knowledge into paleolithic activities. I'm not sure there's enough research to conclude that hunter-gather communities are indeed better off. Certainly, I'd be surprised to find some categorical evidence that some modern-ancient hybrid lifestyle is more idyllic or optimal (although I'm open to anyone who might point me in that direction). I would probably be more likely to err on the side of caution and say that we are robust, but different environments pose different challenges and require an emphasis on different skill-sets.
Ben's escape into the wilderness sure as shit is a solution to something, but what that thing isn't entirely clear. Rather than trying to radically go back to some amorphous ideal, perhaps we should continue working towards narrowing down the conditions that support well-being. Rather than a continuum from ancient to modern, it would probably look more like a landscape with many peaks and valleys. Which is why, when the movie delivers it's soft ending, with the kids going to school but living on a farm and the oldest setting off to find himself in Namibia, I think the idea is probably correct – to seek some kind of middle ground. While the moral of the movie (that the grip of modern life will not allow a wholesale return to our atavistic roots) certainly holds some weight, I think addressing these more fundamental assumptions is more important.

It is a statement I have seen repeated often, in one choice of words or another, in the past decade or so, almost always referring to advances in photographic and social technology, leading to a conclusion that, to some, may be an uncomfortable truth, which is this: this is the best time to be a photographer because it requires less effort than ever before to make a competent photograph; and to have it seen, most often for just a brief moment, by a large number of people.
Certainly, acknowledging the ease of making photographs, even very beautiful and popular photographs, seems less romantic than waxing poetic about such things as photography being a creative outlet, a means of celebrating "nature," or a medium rooted in the "art of seeing." But, whether romantic or not, I believe that it is important for anyone who wishes to elevate their relationship with the photographic medium to a point where practising photography has the power to profoundly elevate the very living experience, to unburden his or her mind of banalities and misconceptions.

Did you know that 1 in 10 people fall ill from foodborne disease every year? And that 420,000 deaths every year are directly attributed to foodborne diseases? The really sad thing is that foodborne diseases in the food chain are preventable. This is the subject of the recent Food Standards Modernization Act (FSMA) in the USA which is much in focus within the food and beverage industry right now.
A new Food Safety Infographic from Autoscribe Informatics highlights the problems caused by foodborne illness and how we can keep food safe in the entire food chain using Environmental Monitoring solutions.
The Matrix Gemini Environmental Monitoring solution provides a framework to document how food production processes are monitored and provides an early warning of sanitation issues, before they become violations. The solution leads users through a continuous quality (Plan, Test, Evaluate, Action) to keep control of microbial contamination before they become costly line stops or product recalls.
In a globalized world contamination in the food chain between farm and fork can quickly cross borders and cost both money and lives. For instance reducing foodborne illness in the US by 1% would save $700M a year.
Download your Food Safety Infographic today and discover the facts about food safety and environmental monitoring solutions.

The guys at 76 Projects recently sent us some of their great kit to use…it was quickly snaffled by Andrew and is being made good use of on his gravel bike. Neat bits of kit for storage – lightweight and easy to fit! You can see the stuff on his bike on the @YorksTrueGrit instagram feed.
Anyway, 76 Projects sent over this release about some new kit which you all might be interested in. 76 Projects are sponsoring this year's Yorkshire True Grit, and each person who signs on at the event will receive a lovely 76 Project free gift. (Thanks guys!).
76 Projects today launches the Little Piggy, an on-bike tube and tool storage solution for all mountain bikers. The Little Piggy can be mounted directly to bottle bosses or strap mounted anywhere via its paint-friendly rubber coated strap and silicone pads. Either way, it stays put and doesn't rattle. It works with all frame and suspension designs and securely holds a 29" MTB tube, CO2, levers, multitool, tubeless plugs or whatever your ride essential kit is. There's even a built-in recess for a chain quick-link. Little Piggy is XC light and Enduro tough.
Our on-bike storage products were born of frustration with the many other products we've used over the years. Tube straps are prone to slipping, carry less, and don't work without a tube. Frame bags offer no choice of position, limited compatibility, rattle, and eat your frame's paint. And don't get us started on saddlebags for MTB.
The original Piggy was designed to provide on-bike storage behind a bottle cage. It's loved by hardtail, gravel and road riders wanting an alternative to packs and saddlebags. The new Little Piggy was developed as a more versatile solution which can bolt on or strap mount and is ideally suited to Enduro or adventure.
Prototypes were tested for hundreds of hours, in all conditions, by a select group of riders which included EWS racers. Their feedback and insights were essential to the development process.
At 76 Projects, we're currently collaborating with several bike brands in order to get mounting bosses added to their frames.
Developed alongside the Little Piggy, and also compatible with the original Piggy, is the bespoke Dry Bag. The base of the Dry Bag is shaped to match the platform for a perfect fit. The Dry Bag is 100% waterproof, so it's perfect for winter rides or using in an exposed position such as the underside of your downtube. Capacity is 0.95L max, 0.65L on the bike.
The Little Piggy joins the original Piggy in the range. The Piggy is direct-mount only and is designed to fit beneath a bottle cage such that your tools are located behind your water bottle. Like the Little Piggy, the Piggy has a built-in recess for a chain quick-link, and can be used with our optional Piggy Pouch or Dry Bag for protection from water and dirt.

Legal Definition of a "Felony" under California Law
In California, a felony is a crime that carries a maximum sentence of more than one year in jail or prison.1The most serious California felonies can even be punished by death.
People convicted of a felony in California may also be fined up to $10,000 in addition to -- or instead of -- imprisonment.2
Alternatively, a judge might sentence a felony offender to California formal (felony) probation. If granted felony probation the offender will serve, at most, one year in county jail.
To help you better understand the definitions and consequences of a felony conviction in California, our California criminal defense lawyers discuss the following, below:
1. What is a "straight" felony?
1.1. Examples of "straight" felonies in California
2. What is a "wobbler" felony?
2.1. Examples of wobbler offenses in California
3. What is the penalty for a felony in California?
3.1. How long are felony sentences?
3.2. What is California Penal Code 1170(h) PC?
3.3. How does a judge decide between the low, middle and high term?
3.4. What are the fines for a California felony?
4.How does felony probation work?
4.1. What are the conditions of formal probation?
4.2. What happens if I violate my felony probation?
5. How does felony parole work?
6. Collateral consequences of a California felony conviction
7. Can a felony be reduced to a misdemeanor?
8. Can I get a California felony conviction expunged?
8.1. What rights are restored by expungement?
8.2. What are the requirements for expunging a conviction?
Most serious California crimes are straight felonies
A "straight" felony is one that can be charged and sentenced only as a felony. It cannot be charged as, or reduced to, a misdemeanor.
Most serious California crimes are straight felonies. These include crimes that count as a "strike" for purposes of California's "three strikes" law.
Example: California law defines first degree burglary as burglary of an inhabited house or dwelling structure.3 First degree burglary is always a felony. It is, therefore, a "straight" felony.
Though not by any means a complete list, straight felonies in California include:
Lewd acts with a child under 14 -- Penal Code 288 PC;
Murder – Penal Code 187 PC,
Rape -- Penal Code 261 PC,
Sale of a controlled substance -- Health and Safety Code 11352 HS, and
Vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence -- Penal Code 192(c) PC.
Some California crimes may be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor, in the prosecutor's discretion.4 These are known as "wobbler" offenses.5
Factors a prosecutor will consider when deciding whether to charge a wobbler as a felony or a misdemeanor include:
The specific facts of the case, and
The defendant's criminal history (if any)
Example: Burglary of an uninhabited or commercial structure is considered second degree burglary.6 Second degree burglary is a wobbler offense. It can be punished either:
As a misdemeanor, by up to one year in county jail, or
As a felony, by up to three years in jail.
California "wobbler" offenses that can be charged as a felony include (but are not limited to):
Assault with a deadly weapon -- Penal Code 245(a)(1) PC,
Domestic violence – Penal Code 273.5 PC,
Forgery -- Penal Code 470 PC,
Sexual battery -- Penal Code 243.4 PC, and.
Vandalism -- Penal Code 594 PC.
Consequences of a felony conviction in California can include imprisonment in county jail or California state prison
Felony sentencing in California can include:
Imprisonment in county jail or California state prison, and/or
A fine of up to $10,000.
Alternatively, the judge can sentence someone convicted of a felony to felony (formal) probation.
Let's take a closer look at each of these felony punishments.
Felonies are usually punished by imprisonment for one of three terms:
A low term,
A middle term, or
A high term.
Some criminal statutes specifically set forth these terms specifically. They also often state whether the sentence is to be served in state prison or county jail.
Example: California Penal Code 461(a) PC provides that first degree burglary is to be punished by a California state prison term of:
Two years,
Four years, or
Six years.7
Sometimes a felony statute does not set forth specific terms of imprisonment. It simply states that the offense may be punished pursuant to California Penal Code 1170(h) PC.
Penal Code 1170(h) PC is a catchall provision for felony sentencing. When a statute calls for punishment pursuant to Penal Code 1170(h), the judge can sentence the defendant to a county jail term of:
16 months,
Two years, or
Three years.8
Generally, a California felony offender will receive the middle term.
The judge will usually only sentence someone to the high term of there are factors in aggravation of the crime.9
Aggravating factors include the use of a weapon or a crime involving "extreme violence."
By contrast, the low term is used when there are factors in mitigation of the crime.
Mitigating factors include (without limitation) that the offender's participation in the crime was minimal.
Punishment for a California felony can include a fine. Sometimes the fine is set forth in the statute defining the crime. Where the amount is not specified, the judge can impose a fine of up to $10,000.
This fine can be either in addition to -- or instead of -- time in jail or prison.
Judges have the discretion to convert all or part of a felony offender's sentence to California formal (felony) probation
4. How does felony probation work?
Judges have the discretion to convert all or part of a felony offender's sentence to California formal (felony) probation.
Felony probation s designed to rehabilitate offenders and let them lead a law-abiding life. It allows offenders to serve most or all of their sentences under the supervision of a probation officer rather than in custody.
Technically, a sentence of formal probation can include up to one year in county jail. But in practice, people sentenced to formal probation in California often serve little to no jail time.
Felony probation in California generally lasts for three years (but can last as long as five). During that time, the person on probation must comply with certain conditions.
These conditions often include (but are not limited to):
Monthly meetings with a probation officer,
Payment of victim restitution,
Individual or group therapy,
Drug testing (if the felony involved a California drug crime),
Community service or labor, and/or
Searches of the offender's person or property with or without a warrant.
If an offender violates felony probation, the judge can:
Revoke probation and
Send the offender to prison or jail for up to the maximum sentence for the crime.
But if there is a good reason for the violation, the judge may let it slide. Or the judge can increase the length of probation or make the conditions harsher.
An experienced California probation lawyer may be able to help you avoid these significant consequences of a probation violation.
California parole laws are similar to probation laws. But they only apply when:
An offender was sentenced to California state prison, and
The offender has completed the sentence or been granted early release.
Much like probation, parole comes with conditions. And like probation, California parole can be revoked.
If your parole is revoked, the judge can send you back to prison.
California felony conviction carries numerous collateral consequences
A California felony conviction carries numerous collateral consequences. Some of the most important are:
You must disclose your felony conviction on job applications, if asked,
You may not own or possess a gun (sometimes for 10 years, at other times for life),
If your felony was a sex crime, you will be required to register as a California sex offender under "Megan's Law", and
Your offense may count as a strike under California's "three strikes law".
For a more complete listing of consequences, please see our article on the Collateral Consequences of a California Felony Conviction, referenced above.
In some cases, a felony can be reduced to a misdemeanor after the fact. Under California Penal Code 17(b) PC a felony can be reduced to a misdemeanor when:
The offense was a "wobbler" felony, and
The offender was sentenced to and completed felony probation for the offense.
For more information, please see our article on "How to Reduce a California Felony to a Misdemeanor."
It is possible for some offenders to get a California felony conviction expunged. They must have been granted probation, and completed it successfully. A person who goes to state prison is not eligible to get the conviction expunged.
An expungement is not a complete "erasure" of a conviction. But it does relieve an offender of many adverse consequences of a conviction.
As Riverside criminal defense attorney Michael Scaffidi10 explains:
"Being convicted of a California felony doesn't have to mean the end of your civil rights. A skilled criminal defense attorney has several ways to help relieve a client of the stigma and restrictions that come with a California felony conviction."
There are many benefits to expunging a California conviction. One of the most important is that an expunged conviction does not need to be disclosed on most job applications.
In the case of wobbler felony convictions, however, most people choose to have the felony reduced to a misdemeanor before seeking expungement.
An expunged misdemeanor carries more benefits than an expunged felony. For instance, most (though not all) people with expunged misdemeanors are allowed to possess a gun.
For more information, please see our article on "How to Restore Your California Gun Rights."
Someone convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor in California may qualify for expungement if:
The offender was not sentenced to incarceration,
The offender is not currently charged with, on probation for, or serving a sentence for a criminal offense, and
The conviction was not for certain sex offenses or violent crimes.

I have never used Storify, so it is entirely possible that what I am about to write is based on a misunderstanding of how it works. But I think I'm on track here and have at least a basic idea of what it does. Storify appears to be a web-based service one can use to compile bits of media from across the web to publish and share with others. I see it being used quite a bit in the online secular community to display Twitter conversations.
For reasons that escape me, some people seem to become extremely upset when someone else uses Storify to display their tweets, so much so that the person using Storify is accused of "harassment," "bullying," "stalking," or worse. I have seen many of these accusations from the Freethought Blogs/Skepchick/Atheism+ crowd, including some of the bloggers themselves, and I am sincerely puzzled as to what is going on here. I've seen posts in which my own tweets have been included in conversations posted via Storify, and I've never been remotely bothered by it. What am I missing?
The Elevatorgate blog regularly uses Storify and has compiled some truly fascinating reactions. If you take a look at this post, you'll see people suggesting that using Storify to display their tweets is "disgusting," might be illegal, might lead them to quit Twitter completely, constitutes "being twitter stalked," and so on. Really? How is sharing someone tweets even remotely objectionable? In this Storify post, someone complains to Storify about their tweets being used in this way (here's another one doing the same thing) and is told that they could always make their Twitter account private if they do not want anyone to see their tweets. Right, because public Twitter accounts are…well…public.
I am not writing this to defend Elevatorgate. Frankly, I think that using juvenile names like "Smellody" undermines much of what he or she does. Having said that, I cannot figure out what is so objectionable about Elevatorgate or anyone else using Storify to display someone's tweets. How is this any different than demanding that nobody ever quotes our public statements?
If you don't want obsessive harassers storifying your tweets say in & day out, get off Twitter, we're told. False choice.
How does sharing your tweets with Storify come anywhere close to harassment? Nobody is misquoting you; what is being shared are your words! If someone retweets you, would you also characterize that as harassment? I have little doubt that harassment occurs in the secular community, but this isn't it.

Several actors made statements expressing their sorrow at Ledger's death, including Daniel Day-Lewis, who dedicated his Screen Actors Guild Award to him, saying that he was inspired by Ledger's acting; Day-Lewis praised Ledger's performances in Monster's Ball and Brokeback Mountain, describing the latter as "unique, perfect".[125][126] Verne Troyer, who was working with Ledger on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at the time of his death, had a heart shape, an exact duplicate of a symbol that Ledger scrawled on a piece of paper with his email address, tattooed on his hand in remembrance of Ledger because Ledger "had made such an impression on [him]".[127] British indie band Kasabian paid tribute to Ledger in their song 'Vlad the Impaler', with the line "Joker, meet you on the other side". Singer Tom Meighan often changes the word "Joker" to either "Ledger", or the names of recently deceased celebrities.
Ledger's death affected the marketing campaign for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight (2008)[11][34] and also both the production and marketing of Terry Gilliam's film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, with both directors intending to celebrate and pay tribute to his work in these films.[34][35][146][147] Although Gilliam temporarily suspended production on the latter film,[35] he expressed determination to "salvage" it, perhaps using computer-generated imagery (CGI), and dedicated it to Ledger.[81][148][149] In February 2008, as a "memorial tribute to the man many have called one of the best actors of his generation," Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell signed on to take over Ledger's role, becoming multiple incarnations of his character, Tony, transformed in this "magical re-telling of the Faust story".[150][151][152] The three actors donated their fees for the film to Ledger's and Williams's daughter.[153]
Ledger received "Best Actor of 2005" awards from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the San Francisco Film Critics Circle for his performance in Brokeback Mountain,[21][22] in which he plays Wyoming ranch hand Ennis Del Mar, who has a love affair with aspiring rodeo rider Jack Twist, played by Jake Gyllenhaal.[23] He also received a nomination for Golden Globe Best Actor in a Drama and a nomination for Academy Award for Best Actor for this performance,[24] making him, at age 26, the ninth-youngest nominee for a Best Actor Oscar.[25] In The New York Times review of the film, critic Stephen Holden writes: "Both Mr. Ledger and Mr. Gyllenhaal make this anguished love story physically palpable. Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn."[26] In a review in Rolling Stone, Peter Travers states: "Ledger's magnificent performance is an acting miracle. He seems to tear it from his insides. Ledger doesn't just know how Ennis moves, speaks and listens; he knows how he breathes. To see him inhale the scent of a shirt hanging in Jack's closet is to take measure of the pain of love lost."[27]
Portraying a variety of roles, from romantic heroes to the reluctantly oppressed, Ledger created a hodgepodge of characters that are deliberately unlike one another, stating "I feel like I am wasting my time if I repeat myself". He also reflected on his inability to be happy with his work, "I feel the same thing about everything I do. The day I say, 'It's good' is the day I should start doing something else."[144] Ledger liked to wait between jobs so that he would start creatively hungry on new projects.[145] In his own words, acting was about harnessing "the infinite power of belief,"[143] thus using belief as a tool for creating.
Is Blockchain really anonymous
At a news conference at the 2007 Venice Film Festival, Ledger spoke of his desire to make a documentary film about the British singer-songwriter Nick Drake, who died in 1974, at the age of 26, from an overdose of an antidepressant.[41] Ledger created and acted in a music video set to Drake's recording of the singer's 1974 song about depression "Black Eyed Dog" – a title "inspired by Winston Churchill's descriptive term for depression" (black dog);[42] it was shown publicly only twice, first at the Bumbershoot Festival, in Seattle, held from 1 to 3 September 2007; and secondly as part of "A Place To Be: A Celebration of Nick Drake", with its screening of Their Place: Reflections On Nick Drake, "a series of short filmed homages to Nick Drake" (including Ledger's), sponsored by American Cinematheque, at the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, in Hollywood, on 5 October 2007.[43] After Ledger's death, his music video for "Black Eyed Dog" was shown on the Internet and excerpted in news clips distributed via YouTube.[41][44][45][46]

From 2000 to 2005, he starred in supporting roles as Gabriel Martin, the eldest son of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson), in The Patriot (2000), and as Sonny Grotowski, the son of Hank Grotowski (Billy Bob Thornton), in Monster's Ball (2001); and in leading or title roles in A Knight's Tale (2001), The Four Feathers (2002), The Order (2003), Ned Kelly (2003), Casanova (2005), The Brothers Grimm (2005), and Lords of Dogtown (2005).[19] In 2001, he won a ShoWest Award as "Male Star of Tomorrow".[20]
Ledger was quoted in January 2006 in Melbourne's Herald Sun as saying that he heard that West Virginia had banned Brokeback Mountain, which it had not; actually, a cinema in Utah had banned the film.[78] He had also referred mistakenly to West Virginia's having had lynchings as recently as the 1980s, but state scholars disputed his statement, observing that, whereas lynchings did occur in Alabama as recently as 1981, according to "the director of state archives and history" quoted in The Charleston Gazette, "The last documented lynching in West Virginia took place in Lewisburg in 1931."[79]

After Brokeback Mountain, Ledger costarred with fellow Australian Abbie Cornish in the 2006 Australian film Candy, an adaptation of the 1998 novel Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction, as young heroin addicts in love attempting to break free of their addiction, whose mentor is played by Geoffrey Rush; for his performance as sometime poet Dan, Ledger was nominated for three "Best Actor" awards, including one of the Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards, which both Cornish and Rush won in their categories. Shortly after the release of Candy, Ledger was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.[28] As one of six actors embodying different aspects of the life of Bob Dylan in the 2007 film I'm Not There, directed by Todd Haynes, Ledger "won praise for his portrayal of 'Robbie [Clark],' a moody, counter-culture actor who represents the romanticist side of Dylan, but says accolades are never his motivation".[29] Posthumously, on 23 February 2008, he shared the 2007 Independent Spirit Robert Altman Award with the rest of the film's ensemble cast, its director, and its casting director.[30]
On 9 February, a memorial service attended by several hundred invited guests was held at Penrhos College, attracting considerable press attention; afterward Ledger's body was cremated at Fremantle Cemetery, followed by a private service attended by only 10 closest family members,[132][133][134] with his ashes interred later in a family plot at Karrakatta Cemetery, next to two of his grandparents.[131][135][136] Later that night, his family and friends gathered for a wake on Cottesloe Beach.[137][138][139]

Mahbub had business at Quetta, and there Kim, as Mahbub admitted, earned his keep, and perhaps a little over, by spending four curious days as scullion in the house of a fat Commissariat sergeant, from whose office-box, in an auspicious moment, he removed a little vellum ledger which he copied out - it seemed to deal entirely with cattle and camel sales - by moonlight, lying behind an outhouse, all through one hot night.

Ledger's relationship with the press in Australia was sometimes turbulent, and it led to his abandonment of plans for his family to reside part-time in Sydney.[71][72] In 2004, he strongly denied press reports alleging that "he spat at journalists on the Sydney set of the film Candy", or that one of his relatives had done so later, outside Ledger's Sydney home.[71][72] On 13 January 2006, "Several members of the paparazzi retaliated ... squirting Ledger and Williams with water pistols on the red carpet at the Sydney premiere of Brokeback Mountain".[73][74]
