Apple wants lock-in, but many developers sure as hell don't.
And the average joe doesn't know and doesn't care.
But you mentioned Adobe was the one that didn't want lock-in. Now it's about the developers? Or the average Joe?
Backpedalling is one thing, running a mile in reverse is another.
Apple, like Honda, Ford, GM, SONY, and just about every other company does not stop you from altering YOUR PROPERTY. You have every right to do so. However, if you decide to do so, there isn't a company or service in the world that is obligated to service and support your changes.
If I decide to install high-performance Holley carbs in my Lexus, I don't expect Toyota to stock, sell, service or support them. Or for sure, honor my warranty. BTW, there is no difference modifying my car or iPhone. They are still forms of "jailbreaking."
Whatever, a better analogy would be that Apple put a special gas cap on their car and you can only fill up with Apple petro at special Apple gas stations... And there is nothing different about Apple Gas... But you avoid your vehicle warranty if you fill up somewhere else.
Tell me how that's awesome in any way shape or form?
I was one of Apples biggest fans. An evangelist even. I was extolling the virtues of the Mac because it was going to legitimately HELP people. Now... not so much. I Apple is getting greedy. I hate to say it but it is true.
You have the whole iPad market. It is simply a way for Apple to get cozy with publishers to enable the publishers to gain capital through a new medium, which also means a moumental gain for Apple as well.
You have the iPhone app store. you can't buy software anywhere else and you can develop it any other way. You can bet this is how they want it to be for the Mac too. And that is the direction they are headed.
iTunes. Trying to move on past the CD before it's even close to time just to force Apple users into relying on them and paying for it. Forget archiving or anything like that. The commonly and heavily used "Burn CD" icon is missing and apple is testing the waters to see how far they can push the agenda.
their tiff with Adobe is just another example of Apple's greed. They don't want Flash to be viable because it can basically do everything and Apple has not been helpful in working with them. Steve Job's lambast of Flash as old tech is a joke. If anything Flash was ahead of its time and still today does more than anyone can ask of it. Rather than trying to kill flash outright, Apple should have recommended improvements if they were worrying about it making the Mac look bad. but to be honest, the Windows version works great -- and Adobe is not the first to recognize areas of the Apple OS that cause issues with high performance software. I used to serve at a church that used MediaShout software and there was no Mac version at the time. The reason? A serious problem with Quicktime that apple was unwilling to address.
I still love my Mac and will probably keep up in the Apple ecosystem, but only so nice as it plays nice with others. i moved from Microsoft 5 years ago because of their practices. I'd hate to do it again.
I don't know about illegal. But I would love to be able to get apps for my iPhone on download.cnet .com or at any of the other usual stores like Handango.
Apple runs a nice store, especially for some types of people. But prohibiting the wares of any other store is - indescribable to me.
I have to 100% agree on this.
I should have the say so on what runs on MY system. Not Apple, or MS or Google, or anybody else. And if someone makes software I want to use, I should be able to use it, no matter what Apple thinks about it. Apple can keep their store and most likely, I will buy only stuff on their, because of the security it affords, however, the option to buy elsewhere is what free enterprise is all about. Apple is being quite monopolistic these days. And definitely using such power.
And the iPhone is a good product - but it should be criminal to lock up a device to the extent Apple has with the iPhone. I shouldn't have to do a procedure called "jailbreaking" just so I can run software on a device which is MY PROPERTY without approval from Apple. It should be the default that I can run whatever I want on MY device.
well, techinically, its NOT your property. you signed a two-year contract with a AT&T. the phone is not "officially" yours until that contract is up. that's why its only $99, $199, $299.
Did you sign a contract when you bought any other apple or mac product?
You see that gun to your head forcing you to use Apple products? Yeah, it's invisible.
Introducing a new product that's single-handedly revitalizing a once-dying industry (print media) is greedy and has absolutely nothing to do with keeping the industry alive.
All the zero people I know with a DVR swear by it, and the millions of Netflix users and Hulu watchers out there can't stand not owning what they're only going to watch once.
Hello, Cydia? Adobe? Yeah, apparently you guys don't exist.
I do agree that consumers want to go back to the $15-$20 album model where you pay full price when you only want to listen to one or two songs.
If Mac was at fault with Flash performance issues, then why is it equally bad on Linux? You also said one of the primary reasons Apple would reject Flash for iOS even if Adobe had one: high performance. It's a CPU hog, yes even on Windows, and us mobile device users like not having to keep plugged in.
A worse analogy really. From my involvement of over 30 years in the automotive industry, it's been my experience that all auto manufacturers recommend a certain grade of fuel, and indeed, usually put a sticker under the fuel flap, with that recommendation, and if you use a certain fuel that did not meet their recommendations and was found to be at fault in wreaking havoc with the engine .... the warranty would not cover damages.
The ownership of the phone passes to the buyer. The best that the vendor may retain is some sort of unperfected purchase-money security interest, but I doubt that they even have that.
i know YOU think you are clever with the Newton/Newtron thing.. but if you can not understand why apple would not allow for instance Andrip apps into the APPLE store, then i do not think a description or even pretty pictures with small boxes and arrows would help either..
Seemingly, that is not a very representative sample of the relevant market. In point of fact, there are tens of millions, and perhaps more than 100 million households with DVRs.
Any conclusions you draw from the behavior of the sample you cite are therefor unreliable.
Do you even think about how stupid these conflicting statements sound before you post ???
I agree ... I don't agree ... I agree ... I don't agree .... agghh , my head is spinning.
Please read my posts more carefully before stating conclusions about my understanding.
well your analogy is even worse... for many, many reasons just jumping off my head.
apps are non-expendable, more like a modification to a car that does it only thing, and only depletes when you decide to delete them..
that was just the low hanging fruit... if that previous post was sarcasm, then i apologize..
Much like third-party car stereo systems? We can riff on that too.
What we know for sure is that Flash is crap regardless of its effect on Adobe's bottom line. My Safari web browser now has a new trick where open windows take 5-10 seconds to close when Flash is running. Otherwise, they close instantly, as they should.
You say you bought an iPhone even knowing about Apple's closed system... and then you complain. If that isn't the very definition of nuts.
To you and others like you... use someone else's product if you don't like Apple's product. Otherwise.. stfu.
No, it is a "standard" product that comes preinstalled on every desktop, laptop and notebook sold in the entire world. You just don't like it.
No. It does not come pre-installled on every desktop, laptop and notebook sold. It only comes on specific OEM vendor systems, pre-packaged.
It is also not a standard. It is a substandard product that is a locked-in product. It is a substandard product in terms of quality and performance. It is a substandard product in terms of not being an agreed upon industry standard.
HTML5 is a standard, not Flash binaries.
...see how far that gets you.

Computing4Change: Bringing Students to HPC to Change the World
by Melyssa Fratkin
Students and Mentors from Advanced Computing for Social Change at SC17
ACM's Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing (SIGHPC) recently announced the 16 undergraduates chosen to compete in the inaugural Computing4Change competition. Co-located with the SC18 conference in Dallas, TX, Computing4Change introduces students to the potential of computing to create positive change in our society.
Students learn to work as part of a team, applying data analysis and computational thinking to a social challenge while experiencing the latest tools and techniques from computing and data science.
Why Computing4Change?
For most of us, computing is a way of life; we use it for work, for research, and for play. But are there novel areas, or new ways, to apply computing power to solve societal challenges? Could it be used to address our public education system, which is uneven at best? What about tackling the opioid crisis? Or reducing gun violence?
The 16 students who will participate in Computing4change will choose a major societal issue that impacts their lives, and learn the programming skills required to begin to tackle it.
Students and Mentors from Advanced Computing for Social Change at SC16.
Research has shown that students from under-represented groups are more interested in STEM activities when they feel the project can have a direct impact on their community. Since 2016, Dr. Kelly Gaither and Rosalia Gomez from TACC, and Linda Akli of SURA, have organized Advanced Computing for Social Change programs at the annual XSEDE and SC conferences. Computing4Change grew out of these efforts.
According to Gaither, "these programs allows us focus on the impact that science and technology can have in providing a data centric view of issues we all face, and work towards making positive social change."
"When you talk to these students, you recognize that there are significant social issues that weigh heavy on their minds, oftentimes outweighing academic issues," Gaither said. "However, when they do get into their respective STEM fields, they are motivated to give back to their local community, particularly if they've come from underserved communities. They are motivated by giving back."
Computing4Change will bring these students together, and build on their motivation to try to make their communities better, to produce a new generation of problem solvers.
"We've seen from our previous programs that these students are dedicated and hard-working, and want to learn, because they want to make a change in the world," said Akli. "We are opening doors to future opportunities that they might not have considered before."
For its part, SIGHPC is excited to be supporting this program. John West, SIGHPC Vice-Chair, sees Computing4Change as an important step. "Reaching a diverse group of students and giving them a positive experience in computing helps to build the pipeline for the future."
The Students
SIGHPC received hundreds of applications from citizens of 31 countries, with over 60% coming from non-US citizens. Almost half (45%) of applicants were female or non-binary gender, and 4% of applicants identified as having some form of disability.
Of the applicants from the US, over half are from groups that are underrepresented in computing. More than 160 universities were represented, including students from more than 100 majors ranging from law and urban planning to engineering and economics.
The applications were reviewed and evaluated by a panel of experts from diverse backgrounds across race, gender, discipline, and nationality. Selections were based on each applicant's vision for using technology to affect positive change on an issue relevant to them; the overall potential for impact in their chosen fields and home institutions; and the extent to which they can serve as ambassadors to increase diversity in the workplace.
The 16 participants are citizens of five countries. Ten identify as female, two awardees identify as having a disability, and half have never attended a professional conference. Among awardees from the US, 33% are Black/African American, 25% Latino, 19% White, and the remaining are Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or of Mediterranean descent. Students are from 16 different universities, 44% of which are classified as resource constrained by the Carnegie Classification of institutions of higher learning.
SIGHPC congratulates the accepted participants:
• Stephanie Bogg, Jackson State University
• Edgar Chavez, California State University, Los Angeles
• Noah Hradek, University of Texas at El Paso
• Thomas Johnson, Elizabeth City State University
• Kalika Lacy, Purdue University
• Tunrayo Lumpkin, South Carolina State University
• Shreya Madasu, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
• Peizhu Qian, Simmons College
• Madelyn Reyes, Lipscomb University
• Shanelle Roman, Yale University
• Hoano Rosario, Chaminade University
• Nicholas Sarkauskas, The Ohio State University
• Maya Simon, University of Iowa
• Ariel Tumley, Spelman College
• Itzel Bailon Vazquez, Community College of Denver
• Harrison Waide, Binghamton University/SUNY
Over the next four months, the students will participate in six webinars, to learn core skills and develop experience with the software tools. This advance preparation gives them the ability to 'hit the ground running' when they get to SC18. In addition to the time spent working on their team projects, they will have time to visit the SC Exhibit Hall and participate in conference events.
The students will receive travel support, as well as conference registration and a meal allowance for SC18 in Dallas, and will be recognized during the awards ceremony.

Team Jamerzil at the London Triathlon 2004
Team Jamerzil finally came together the week before race day. I struggled to get someone to take Ayumi's place. Abigail couldn't do it because of child co-ordination. Leo's sister Sarah had a hamstring injury. Everyone at the health club was daunted by the event. In the end, Pat came shining through as the Jamerzil runner.
11:45 - Claudia rings the bell of 10 Hungerford Road.
11:50 - bike checks and lube by mechanic Brian
12:00 - filling of water bottles
12:05 - last minute loo visit
12:15 - cycling through the London roads on our way to the Docklands.
We only had to stop twice for a map check. Being a weekend, traffic in the City (financial part of London) was relatively light.
13:15 - cycling right alongside the bike race course approaching the ExCel building race headquarters.
13:30 - rack bikes in appropriate transition areas
13:50 - pick up timing chip
13:55 - meet up with Pat and Richard
14:00 - Andrew and Michelle join our group
14:05 - Brian and camera arrive
14:20 - swimmer is nervous. Frantically searches for open restrooms.
14:30 - last minute review of team strategy and logistics
14:40 - swimmer dons wetsuit and heads to start area
14:50 - swimmer finds out race start is delayed 30 minutes
15:00 - back to Jamerzil gathering
15:15 - back to race start
15:30 - team Jamerzil starts the London Triathlon!
This was the first time I had done a swim start with men. My wave had about 250 people starting all together. The water tasted nassty and some rather large arms pounded my back several times, but I made it around the course free of major injuries in 28:21.
15:58 - strip off wetsuit, throw in bag, carefully run up slippery stairs, find Claudia in transition, hand off timing chip
16:03 - bike portion begins!
Claudia had a stellar cycling race, completing the 4 lap course in 1:33:50, a full 27 minutes faster than we anticipated! Michelle, Andrew, Pat, Richard, Rhoel, Brian and I were all congregated at a strategic point along the course so we could cheer her on and take some good photographs. With 1.5 laps still to go, Pat and I went back up to transition to prepare for the run.
According to the race rules, if the biker wasn't back within 2 hours after the start of the race, the runner would get another timing chip and start off on the run. This was to ensure the race course was cleared by a certain time. We anticipated that I would take 30mins for the swim, leaving only 90mins for Claudia to finish the bike. We didn't think that was going to happen, so Pat (along with quite a few other runners) was anxiously awaiting the race marshal to hand out the chip so she could get started. We were instructed to just wait by our assigned area in transition and someone would come around with the chip. But lo and behold, here came Claudia streaking in! I was thrilled, impressed, excited! My team is doing so well.
Hand over chip, rack bike, three cheers for Pat and she's off. Back onto the course to support the Jamerzil runner.
18:26 - Pat sprints across the finish line! A brilliant performace by all.
I had a bagel birthday breakfast with my team at work. Then spent three titillating hours discussing programs on automated identification systems and surveyor training. Ducked out of the office early for a jog home in the sunshine. Quick shower then over to Abigail's for some live entertainment in the form of a swingset show, a pasta dinner and a homemade birthday cake. Brilliant day!
Here's the set list Cheap Trick SHOULD have played last night.
1. Hello There
2. Everything Works If You Let It
3. Voices
4. I Know What I Want
5. I Want You To Want Me
6. Clock Strikes Ten
7. Surrender
8. Dream Police
9. Gonna Raise Hell
10. Ain't That A Shame
11. One On One
12. If You Want My Love
13. Oo La La La
14. She's Tight
But they didn't. From this list, they only played 3. If you know Cheap Trick's music, you'll be able to guess that those 3 were:
I Want You To Want Me,
Surrender, and
So the set list was the first problem. The second was the sound in the Shepherds Bush Empire. It's a small venue, but the sound was crummy. Problem number 3 was the pocket of rude, tall rocker dudes with poorly groomed long hair sprouting out of their bald patches that shoved their way in front of us. It was plainly evident that this was not my kind of crowd when the audience erupted with applause and sang along to every word when the band played The Flame. Barf.
Those traumas aside, Cheap Trick were in fine form. Rick Nielsen played his signature licks on various guitars (though not as many as at last year's Royal Albert Hall Show) including a double necked axe fashioned into a likeness of Rick himself. He bounded around the stage and on and off a platform, all the while flicking hundreds of guitar picks into the audience, one at a time. I got two.
Thom West would have given a thumbs up to the fine beats of Bun E Carlos on the drums. And what's his face still has the same strong voice, able to sound smooth or just-on-the-verge-of-screaming rough. Oh yeah, it's Robin Zander.
All three times I've seen Cheap Trick live, I've come away feeling happy. This foursome have fun on stage. No fancy antics, just pure rock and roll music. I'd love to see them again.
I asked Mark, the spinning instructor, how his triathlon training was coming along.
His response: "I was really naught for six at the weekend, if you know what I mean, so I'm going to have to take it easy".
No, in fact, I did not know what he meant. Did he get injured? Drunk? Did he do six events over the weekend and win them all? Or lose them all?
After some inquiries I learned that the expression is actually "knock for six" (I misheard him) and it derives from the game of cricket. If a ball is knocked for six, it is hit a long way and that batsman automatically gets six runs, akin to a home run in baseball.
Another cricket term used in daily language is "hat-trick". When taking three wickets in three successive deliveries a bowler is said to have achieved a hat-trick. One of the harder feats to achieve in the game it used to be the cause for the bowler being given a hat. We hear it now most often by football (soccer) commentators.
New York Doll died
Arthur Kane, the bassist for the New York Dolls, died of leukemia last Tuesday in LA. It's so strange having seen him on stage just a few weeks ago. At the bequest of Morrissey, once president of the The New York Dolls fan club, the group reunited and played 2 shows at London's South Bank. They hadn't played together in nearly 30 years. Kane didn't look all that lively, but I put it down to a rock 'n' roll lifestyle. The sounds coming out of his bass were superb.
Bus talk
Whilst riding the bus to my photography class at Morley College, a guy sat next to me and started unwrapping his new Pixies DVD. He looked at the photos and read the liner notes on the insert. When he was putting the DVD back in his bag, I had to ask him if he had seen the show last month. He had. And like Brian, he had to pay a lot of money through eBay to get tickets.
Back in his school days, he and his mates would discuss what band they'd most like to see if they ever reformed. The Pixies were the unanimous top choice. So when he heard the Pixies were coming to London, he was going to do whatever it took to get tickets for them all. His mates came down from the North and they all went to the show together. What a great story! I'm glad I asked.
All seasons in a day
I went to Hampstead Heath this morning to shoot my photography assignment. BBC weather for London showed a cloud, a sun and a raindrop. Typical England.
When I arrive on the Heath, puffy white clouds floating against the blue sky are making a vibrant color contrast. I have black and white film loaded. Rats. I find an old tree trunk reflecting some nice light and finish off the roll.
Velvia now loaded, I climb the dirt path to my favorite bench, serenaded by the insects chirping in the long summer grass on either side. Joggers pass me in 60 second intervals, looking happy and healthy. They're all over the Heath and I long to be running alongside Abigail, sorting out my latest dilemma.
I have my fisheye lens and start with a few curved horizon shots, getting lots of blue sky and white cloud. I'm trying for a textural close-up of a log but the light is suddenly gone. I feel ice starting to pelt my bare skin. Only nine shots into the session and I'm caught in a hail storm. I take cover under a leafy oak tree, take one shot of the path now covered with white ice pellets and hope the sky clears quickly. Ten minutes later the hail has turned to rain and I can't see another soul. Another couple minutes and a soaked jogger passes me. Perfect! I'm in my running shoes and have my camera backpack so I can run home. On my way down the Heath I pass a few people in various states of element coping. People with big dogs don't seem to mind the wet, and their big dogs just run around in the rain like kids jumping through a sprinkler. The small dog people are huddled under branches and their small dogs look out rather miserably at the rain spoiling their grand sniffing adventure.
Long London Lunch
Brian and I had a fabulous lunch at Busaba Eathai. There's another location that I didn't know about, just off Tottenham Court Road. I had a Butternut pumpkin curry and green papaya salad with a mango lassi. A bit much for a mid-day meal, but I went swimming this morning so felt that I earned it.
For "pudding" we went to Patisserie Valerie in Soho and I had chocolate mousse, which I hadn't earned but which was one of those heavenly experiences you don't pass up.
This morning at the pool I tried to keep up with the fast girl in the lane. She was doing breast stroke and I could hardly keep up doing free. Turned out the fast girl was Abigail!
The spinning instructor yelled out to the class, "Don't rush it!" I could feel the electrical current jumping the synapses in my nervous system as my brain thawed out memories relegated to cold storage. Don't rush. So familiar. But in two different contexts from my past. What were they?
Ah yes. The first one in another athletic situation. Early morning crew practice on Lake Washington. Coach Bob Earnst's voice crackling through the megaphone, drilling it's way to a permanent corner of my grey matter..."Don't rush it on the slide!"
A minute later the second, earlier memory bubbles into my consciousness. Meg Dezel conducting the junior high orchestra through a ritardando.

Greenwich Village and the Square
Fifty years ago, the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated Greenwich Village as a historic district. This anniversary prompted a search through the Municipal Archives' WPA Federal Writers' Project collection for records these talented authors created about the iconic neighborhood. Given that Greenwich Village received extensive coverage—17 pages—in their enduring, and probably most famous, publication The New York City Guide, it seemed likely that the search would prove fruitful. Thanks to the detailed cataloging work of the City archivists who processed the collection in 1993 (a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities), a carbon copy of a typed manuscript labeled Greenwich Village and the Square, was easily identified. Expecting that it would be the original version of the text that appeared in the Guide, we were pleasantly surprised to find an entirely different narrative—equally informative and well written. But, as is typical of the Writer's Project, the author is not named. Transcribed here is the complete previously unpublished text of Greenwich Village and the Square along with photographs from the collection illustrating places and events referenced in the article.

With the cream-white Washington Archives at the foot of Fifth Avenue as their private doorway, the Square and the Village, like two old aristocrats, remain secluded from the rest of Manhattan. Both are inseparably linked in history and reputation, and are two of New York's oldest and most cherished quarters.
Dominated by the arch, which was designed by Stanford White and erected in 1892 to commemorate the centenary of Washington's inauguration, the park, about 10 acres in area, retains much of the dignity of the old unhurried New York. Its greenness is bordered by tree-shaded walks and by a wide driveway where Fifth Avenue buses circle for their return journey northward. An old-fashioned bandstand and gardener's hut lend a rustic touch. Winter and summer the park is never without its idling strollers, and well-to-do residents of the vicinity with their dogs. And as soon as the first leaves appear on the elms, maples, lindens, and oaks, the benches below become filled with mothers and their children from the Italian colony south of the square. In summer the central fountain back of the arch serves as a swimming hole for the youngsters. Italy is further represented by Turini's statue of Garibaldi near the arch; it was erected in 1888 by New York Italians.

The motif of the square's gentility is struck by the old red-brick houses on the north side that were once the homes of many of the "400"; a few still are occupied by members of old Knickerbocker families. The dwellings, some of them a century old, have served time and again as setting for novels, plays, and motion pictures, notably in Edith Wharton's Age of Innocence and Henry James' Washington Square (James was born on the east side of the square.) No. 14 Washington Square North, now combined with nos. 15 and 16 as an apartment house, is the oldest of these homes; it was built about 1825 by William G. Rhinelander. In the 180's Mrs. Richard Alsop, daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne, hold a literary salon in her home at No. 5, and Rodman Wanamaker lived at No. 12. Behind these houses, east and west of Fifth Avenue, are narrow cobbled Washington Mews and MacDougal Alley, lined with studios and homes that were once stables. Back of No. 14, sheltered by a tall brick wall facing Fifth Avenue , is another converted stable that is the home of the chancellor of New York University, whose chunky buildings occupy the east side of the square.
When the original University building stood there early in the nineteenth century it was the scene of many famous achievements: Morse developed telegraphy there; Colt perfected the revolver, and Draper took the first daguerreotype of a human face. Present-day students of the school accent the academic air of the square by using it as a campus. Many of the undergraduates live in a dormitory in the Judson Memorial Church, a spired yellowish structure on the south side of the square designed by Stanford White and John La Farge, with stained glass windows by La Farge.
The church's neighbors are old run-down dwellings, most of which are boarding houses for writers, artists and such; a few are topped by a studio's expanse of glass. No. 61 is Madame Branchard's "House of Genius," once the lodgings of noted literati such as Theodore Dreiser, Frank Norris, Stephen Crane, John Reed, and Alan Seeger. A tree opposite this house was planted to the memory of Seeger, who poem, I have a Rendezvous with Death, was written in the trenches during the World War a short time before he was killed.
Washington Square's literary traditions live on, too, in places along Fifth Avenue, just to the north. Mark Twain lived at No. 21, and the Hotel Brevoort at Ninth Street has been a writers' and artists' rendezvous for nearly a century. Its guests have included Jenny Lind, Isadora Duncan, Sarah Bernhardt, Leo Tolstoi, Eugene O'Neill. The Lafayette, another old hostelry, at University Place and Ninth Street, has often been called the cradle of New York's Bohemia. In spring gay sidewalk cafes blossom in front of the Brevoort, the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Longchamps Restaurant and No. 1 Fifth Avenue, making the street here reminiscent of Paris itself.

A few apartment houses on Washington Square West inject a modern note into the area's old-world atmosphere. In the lobby of one of them, the Holley Chambers, there is a fountain fed by Minetta Brook, a now buried stream that once coursed through this part of the city. When Minetta was up in the open the land about here was part of the Bleecker Farm. (Bleecker Street in this section is a reminder.) In 1789 the city bought a piece of the farm, the site of Washington Square, for a paupers' graveyard and later put up the town gallows there. Between 1797 and 1823 some hundred thousand victims of yellow fever were buried there, but in 1827 most the bodies were removed to Bryant Park. The square then was made a public park the wealthy built homes around it. During the Civil War recruits drilled and camped on its lawns. From 1825 to 1899 it was called Waverly Park and during that period was enlarged to its present size.

On the occasion of an important parade, such as the memorable one in 1918 when A. E. F. [American Expeditionary Forces] soldiers returned from overseas, the square is the staring or ending point. And between parades and such events as the Annual Washington Square Folk Festival—a bright occasion held on Labor Day when the city's foreign-born of many nations perform folk dances in native costumes—the square is taken over by Greenwich Village artists for the twice-annual outdoor exhibition. Usually held the first week in June and the last in September, these displays in most cases the only opportunity for the painters to show their work) attract large numbers of persons, most of whom come to see what a real Village artists looks like, and some to buy canvases at bargain prices.
Why and when "Village" was added to Greenwich is a minor mystery, because Greenwich, itself meaning Green Village, was the name the British gave it after their conquest of the city in 1664. Before that it was known to the Dutch as Nortwick; today it is simply the Village to most New Yorkers. In 1807 surveyors mapped out a new city plan, but owners of property in the Village refused to have their boundary lines disturbed (many of the boundaries were cow paths), and thus came about the curious maze of streets there. West Fourth Street crosses West Tenth, whereas they should be parallel, and other streets make sudden surprising turns into one another. In all likelihood part of the Village's reputation may be due to the antic spirit of the streets. (In a story by O. Henry a bill collector meets himself coming back after a futile search for an address.)
As New York's Latin Quarter, or America's Bohemia, Greenwich Village is one of the world's best known art and literary communities. From the time when Tom Paine lived at 59 Grove Street writing pamphlets to encourage the Americans in the War of Independence, countless writers, artists, and intellectuals have sought the seclusion of the Village. In its long history it has passed through many phases; it had eras of little theaters free love, Freudianism, imagist poetry, Socialism, eccentric night clubs, and other crazes, fads and movement. (Today the keynote is probably economics. But all the while the Village, together with its more sedate sister, Washington Square, has been essentially a place wherein to live sheltered from the harshness of commerce and industry.

Although its night life is not so mad as it once was, the Village still cuts capers in such places as the Black Cat, 557 West Broadway; the Village Grove Nut Club, 99 Seventh Avenue South, and the Pepper Pot, 146 West Fourth Street. A few rendezvous like the Vagabonds, Seventh Avenue near Bleecker Street, and the Village Vanguard, Seventh Avenue near Perry Street, are frequented by the Village's younger set, who gather to read their poetry to each other, discuss the progress of their hypothetical novels, or show their drawings. Art and literature are usually forgotten on Saturday nights when these places are given over to dancing and mild revelry. Politics joins the other grist for the mill of the table-thumpers at Welcome Inn, 432 Sixth Avenue, and the Jumble Shop, 28 West 3th Street. At Enrico and Paglieri's, 66 West Eleventh Street they still talk of how Jon Reed, the poet and radical who lies buried in the Kremlin in Moscow, and his friends used to shake the walls with violent discussion.

The Village's romantic past is recalled by streets like Patchn Place, Milligan Place, and Bank and Bedford Streets, with their curious little houses jumbled together. Milligan Place was the home of Susan Glaspell, the novelist, and her husband, George Cram Cook. It is said that when Cook died his last words were "Milligan Place." At 75 ½ Bedford Street is one of the city's smallest and narrowest houses. Edna St. Vincent Millay, the poet, lived there. A house on Grpove Street was the setting for O. Henry's story, The Last Leaf. But besides all these out-of-the-way places, Greenwich Village has its Main Street, too; and that is Eight Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. IT contains not only art and book shops, odd tearooms and restaurants, and studios, but prosaic things like drug and grocery stores, a movie house, delicatessens, and tailor shops. Near Fifth Avenue is the Whitney Museum of American Art. Looking into Eight Street from Sixth Avenue is the Jefferson Market Magistrate's Court with its next door neighbor, the House of Detention for Women. The courthouse has been a Village landmark for many years. Its former night court for women, a place of sordid drama, was the perennial subject of newspaper and fiction story, and artists never tire of drawing the dark, frim building with the familiar clock on the tower. Women prisoners in the new House of Detention live in comparative comfort in a structure that resembles the better-class apartment house of the Village.
There was a time when the quarter had few dwelling houses more than three stories high, but the real estate boom of the 1920's brought the firs tall apartments there, and now they are everywhere: on Sheridan and Abingdon Squares, on Greenwich Avenue, and other streets, towering above the old structures that are part of the Village's tradition. This spirit of commercialization also invaded Washington Square long ago, and residents of that section, as well as other New Yorkers, fear for the old homes there, especially those on the north side. In 1935 Sailor's Snug Harbor, owner of most of that property, announced that it was considering razing the dwellings and replacing them with modern apartment buildings. Immediately there was a flurry of protest and many Washington Square enthusiasts shed a tear. More than a year passed and the street remained intact.
Despite the crowded huddle of streets and house in the Village, there are occasional open areas and wide thoroughfares. Spacious Seventh Avenue (one of the main routes to the Holland Tunnel) intersects the district, as does broad by short Greenwich Avenue. Sheridan Square, at Seventh Avenue and Washington Place, with its tiny triangle of green, is a potpourri of apartment houses, restaurants, night clubs, all-night coffee shots. At night it is Times Square in miniature. Near the rim of the Village, at Eight Avenue and Eleventh Street, Abingdon Square with its old stone bandstand sits quiet, ignoring the nearby hubbub.

Along West Third Street, where the Sixth Avenue elevated runs a short way between Sixth Avenue and West Broadway, the sides of the structure are almost within reach of third-story windows in decrepit houses, which, however forbidding, always have their quota of impoverished artistic tenants. Below here the Italian colony abounds in pizzerias, (grocery stores) and restaurants (Mori's and Bertolotti's are a few of the popular ones), wine shops, open air pushcart markets, and an army of children. At 133 MacDougal Street, in the shadow of the elevated, is the stable-theater where the Provincetown Playhouse was born in 1916. (In 1936 the WPA Studio Theater was there.) It was one of the country's first and most famous little theaters. Eugene O'Neill, the dramatist, a native of Greenwich Village, began his career there and Edna St. Vincent Millay acted in some of its productions. Near the theater are the ancient-looking Minetta Street and Minetta Lane, named for the old brook.
On the other side of the Village, at Hudson and Barrow Streets, is St. Luke's Church, where, following a custom that began in 127, free loaves of bread are given to the needy at the 10 a.m. services. A short distance from the church stood the hose at 80 Jane Street in which Alexander Hamilton died when he was carried there wounded after his duel with Aaron Burr. James Fenimore Cooper lived in this sector, on Beach Street ear Hudson Street, when he wrote The Pioneer and The Pilot.
Most striking of the characteristics of Washington Square and Greenwich Village is their mellow blend of Old World and New – the quixotic jumble of old streets and modern thoroughfares, tumbledown dwelling and high apartment structures, long-standing hotels and restaurants and modern cafeterias – and the feeling everywhere of tolerance and freedom. John Reed spoke for countless kindred spirits before and after him when he wrote:
Yet we are free who live in Washington Square,
We dare to think as uptown wouldn't dare,
Blazing our nights with arguments uproarious;
What care we for a dull old world censorious,
When each is sure he'll fashion something
Glorious?
It is traditional that every generation of Villagers thinks it is the last to enjoy the free life. Former habitues of the quarter often say, "The Village isn't what it used to be," and shake their heads sadly. They will speak of Countess von Freytag-Loringhoven, who once shaved off her hair and painted her head a vivid green; of the girl, a poet and artists' model, who used to war her fur coat with nothing beneath it; or of that epic event when a group of Villagers (their names are not on record) managed somehow to obtain the key to the door in the Washington Arch that opens on a stairway to the roof, and there on top of the monument held a midnight picnic. But present young Villagers say that such gongs-on are frequent today, even though others do not hear of them. Probably the next generation of Villagers will.

We've done a bit of updating to our news sources, to give you a better variety. See the "Today Page" and you'll find news from a variety of sources. On the front page you'll also notice that we now include one of the top stories in the "Popular" section. Enjoy!


Before you can use NAV-X Credit Card, you need the functionality implemented in your Microsoft Dynamics NAV implementation. You can work with your partner to either implement and merge the credit card objects or, if you are on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 or higher, you can also install the NAV-X Credit Card extension. Please contact your partner for assistance with this.
You can start the Assisted Setup for NAV-X Credit Card from the displayed notification on the role center or by searching for "Assisted Setup" and then selecting "Setup Credit Card" from the displayed list.
If you start the Assisted Setup for the first time, the NAV-X End User License Agreement is displayed. Please read the license terms carefully and, if you agree to the terms, please accept them with the "Accept" action on the top ribbon. If you do not agree to the license terms, please select "Decline" and then uninstall the app from your tenant.
NAV-X Credit Card supports two different ways of charging credit cards. Usually, the first option is recommended, but based on your processes, you can change the way you are processing credit cards.
Authorize and Charge. With this setup, credit card transactions are authorized at the time of releasing an order or when you manually authorize a card. The authorization guarantees that money is available on the credit card to charge the card later, when the invoice is posted.
Sale. With this setting, credit cards will not be authorized. You will process a charge against the credit card at the time of posting an invoice or when you manually select to charge the credit card. The downside with this setup is that the credit card might not have sufficient funds at the time of invoicing and the order might have been shipped already.
At the time of entering a new credit card, authorizing a credit card, or processing a sale against a credit card, the credit card processor performs an address verification to determine, if the credit card billing address is correct. If you activate this setting, the credit card transaction cannot be processed, if the address verification fails. If you do not activate this setup, a confirmation message is shown when an address verification fails and you can still choose to process the credit card.
If you place a check mark in this field, an authorization is only automatically processed at the time of releasing an order, when there is no authorization existing yet. You will then have to process subsequent authorizations manually.
The next step of the Assisted Setup allows you to define either a percentage of the order amount or a fixed amount, which will be added to each authorization of a credit card to account for fees or charges that are not known at the time of order entry. When defining a "Type" other than "None", you have to define, if you want to use a Resource or a G/L Account in the field "Line Type" and then the resource or G/L account number in the field "Line No.", which then will be used to create an additional line on the document in the amount defined.
If you have chosen not to enter additional merchant accounts at this time, the following step will not be visible and you will see the next step. To enter multiple merchant accounts, please create a new line in the list of merchant accounts. You can define a description and the same credentials as described above for each of those merchant accounts. In addition, you can also specify a specific Dimension Value or Currency Code to define when a specific merchant should be used. This can be used to have different merchants for different currencies or for different divisions.
You can define workflows that allow the notification of different users when a credit card transaction fails. For instance, you can define a workflow for someone to take action, when an authorization fails for a sales order. The workflows currently only exist for sales orders and sales invoices, not for service orders due to limitations in the Dynamics NAV functionality. Sales orders cannot be released until the workflow is completed.
If you want to configure the users that should be alerted now, please place a check mark in the field "I want to configure my workflows".
If you have chosen not to configure workflows now, the next step will not be visible. If you want to configure your workflows now, please select the users that should be alerted of a failed credit card transaction. Any one of the users selected can approve a transaction.
The next step is the final step of this setup wizard. Once you select "Finish", the setups are saved and you can start using NAV-X Credit Card or complete additional setups.


Doctor's Best Digestive Enzymes is a full-spectrum high potency digestive enzyme blend created to complement and support the body's own digestive capacities.
What is Doctor's Best Digestive Enzymes?
Doctor's Best Digestive Enzymes is a full-spectrum high potency digestive enzyme blend created to complement and support the body's own digestive capacities. Each capsule provides the body with enzymes designed to optimally aid the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates present in cooked and raw food. The formula provides the support of alpha- galactosidase and beta-glucanase to break down vegetables, beans and grains, and enzymes such as glucoamylase and invertase to assist with the digestion of carbohydrates. In addition, this complete formula contains beneficial bacteria to uniquely promote optimal intestinal health.
Digestive enzymes are produced by the pancreas and secreted into the duodenum (upper small intestine) where proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are broken down prior to absorption. The body's capacity to produce enzymes may decline with age. Moreover, stress and other unhealthy lifestyle factors may impact enzyme production. Supplementation with the enzymes in Best Digestive Enzymes supports replenishment of the body's enzyme levels, promoting healthy digestion and delivery of vital nutrients to the body. Maintenance of healthy digestion not only helps with occasional gastrointestinal discomfort, but also supports the very integrity of the intestinal mucosa. Additionally, enzymes may enhance healthy bacterial balance in the bowel by lessening the accumulation of undigested foods in the large intestine.
Why should I take Doctor's Best Digestive Enzymes?
Support for Carbohydrate and Fiber DigestionAlpha-galactosidase – An enzyme that facilitates the breakdown of carbohydrates such as raffinose and stachyose. This enzyme is especially helpful in supporting the digestion of raw vegetables and beans.
Phytase – This enzyme breaks down plant carbohydrates and is especially helpful at breaking down phytic acid found in leafy vegetables. Because this enzyme breaks down phytic acid, it frees the minerals in plants and aids in their absorption.
Bromelain – An enzyme that is derived from pineapple, this nutrient also facilitates the digestion of proteins. Bromelain has also been associated with a wide range of diverse health benefits of its own. • Papain – This enzyme is derived from papaya and serves to enhance the digestion of proteins, facilitating nutrient absorption.
Protease – This enzyme supports the digestion of protein, breaking them into absorbable units of amino acids, the building blocks for the body's regenerative purposes.
Lipase – The main enzyme that functions to break down lipids and improve fat utilization. In this capacity, it supports the function of the gall bladder.
Beneficial Micro-Organisms Bacillus subtilis – Supplementing with this important probiotic organism promotes a healthy bacterial balance in the intestines. Probiotic organisms have been researched for their ability to support healthy immune function, efficient digestion and the general health and well-being of the digestive tract.

Q: port forwading to make a server on my computer I tried to make a chat program with java. i succeed when i use the ip of 127.0.0.1 to connect.
Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1",5005);
it all worked great on my computer and the program even worked when i try to connect between my comupter and my leptop which uses the same router. (i did it by using the local ip.)
Then i wanted to connect computers which uses other routers by using the external ip. so i read on web and i understand that i need to forwad my port through my router.
i have a Siemens ADSL Sl2-141 router.
i forwad the port 5005, and my chat program still doesn't work. i get Connection Refused error over and over.
did i missed somthing?

A: First, it seems you're configuring your code to listen on the localhost only and not external address. Use a socket connection like this instead: (as per this guide)
EDIT (Changed as per comment discussion below):
Socket socket = new Socket("PUBLIC_IP_ADDR",5005);

Where PUBLIC_IP_ADDR is your internet facing address that you can locate here
If you still can't get a connection verify the program is available and listening...
Guide to checking your port
1) If you haven't already, go through this guide and confirm you've done all the steps.
2) Use this tool to confirm your port is actually open.
If #2 fails then your port is not actually open. Does the PC that accepts the connection actively listen on 5005?
Windows:
Start -> Run -> cmd
  netstat -an | find /i "5005"

Linux:
(From terminal)
  netstat -l | grep 5005

If that doesn't have "LISTENING" listed beside it then your application is not listening for connections. But I don't suspect this to be the problem since you can do it on localhost.
If that fails then confirm your OS firewall is open.
That's about all I can think of right now

A: What @Brian said.  Your internal address is probably wrong, if the program isn't running.  Try replacing "127.0.0.1" with the internal ("10.whatever") address and then still run it from the same computer.  If that works, only then should you try it from another computer.  If it's blocked from another computer on the same subnet, then it's likely you have a software firewall ("Windows Defender" or some such) that's blocking external connections.
The problem of scope still remains:  if you need help configuring your router, Google and then superuser.com are the places to ask.  If you need help with programming, that's what this site is for.
