CSU top of the crop
When it comes to putting their knowledge of grain production and marketing into practice, CSU agriculture students have shown they're the cream of the crop.
When it comes to putting their knowledge of grain production and marketing into practice, Charles Sturt University (CSU) agriculture students have shown they're the cream of the crop.
The seven-member CSU team scooped the pool at the Australian Universities Crops Competition hosted by GrainGrowers in Temora from Wednesday 16 to Friday 18 September.
CSU was named as the top team overall and CS U students claimed the first three places in the individual competition.
Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours) student Mr Matthew Dunn, originally from Leeton in the Riverina, was the highest scoring competitor and has been awarded an overseas study tour to further his knowledge of grain production.
"I'm really looking forward to the study tour and am hoping to gain some insight into the unique American agricultural production systems," he said. "I find American agriculture very interesting and am honoured to have been given this opportunity.
"Once I graduate I hope to find a job in agronomy, agricultural research, or plant breeding."
Other CSU students weren't far behind in the points score. Ms Jessica Kirkpatrick from Beaufort in Victoria was awarded second place, and Ms Cheyne Gibbs from Urana in southern NSW claimed third prize.
The annual crop competition tests students on everything from seed identification and grain grading to business management and production practices.
Seven universities, including two from the United States, took part in the event.
Head of the CSU School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences Professor Gavin Ash said the team's success is a testament to the industry-relevant knowledge and practical skills they have gained throughout their studies.
"The outstanding success of the team reflects the students' dedication and skill, and also the field-based, authentic approach to education Charles Sturt University is renowned for," Professor Ash said.
"Charles Sturt University has a mixture of state-of-the-art laboratories and teaching spaces with close proximity to the University's commercial farm. Our students study on-farm, real world problems from first year and throughout their degrees."
Coach and team supervisor Dr Sergio Moroni from the School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences said the competition offered students an opportunity to meet top agriculture students from across Australia and overseas.
"The Charles Sturt University team showed a high level of maturity, cohesion, organisational skills and focus," he said.
"They volunteered to be part of the team and worked very hard outside of their study commitments to accomplish such an impressive achievement.
"I had the privilege to share in their excellent and confident performance during the competition. The seriousness of the competition, however, did not deter them from enjoying themselves".
The CSU team consisted of students from the CSU School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences in Wagga Wagga. It included Mr Mathew Dunn, Ms Alex Trinder, Ms Sally Poole, Ms Jessica Kirkpatrick, Ms Laura Bennett, Ms Cheyne Gibbs, and Ms Harriet Brickhill.

Self promotional ramblings from a neurotic author. Because selling out is a great way to eat.
"Is there a day you did think you'd be seeing it?" Tim asked from his chair beside him.
"…Dramatic effect?" Jim offered after a moment.
I'm pleased to announce that small snippet comes from the long promised but generally undelivered second entry in the Shadows of Time shorts series, The Trap. There's still a fair bit of tweaking and editing to be done so I can't give a release date more specific than "Early to Mid February" but it is indeed coming. And, for those of you who have been asking me about it (a group that much to my surprise actually seems to be steadily growing in number) yes, this is the first indicator that Titan's Fall, AKA Shadows of Time 3, is on the way! Unfortunately, that one isn't even done being written yet, so barring a sudden Howard Hughes type breakdown where I lock myself in a room for several weeks and do nothing but write, edit, and overhaul the entire publication industry, it is highly unlikely it will also be released early to mid February.
Anyway, enough of that, probably time to actually talk a bit about the story itself.
Much like the previous short, 2?, The Trap is told from a single character's point of view, in this case that of Jim. Personally I've rather enjoyed this as Jim really didn't get much to do in Probable Outcome, and given his expanded role in Titan's Fall I'm glad to get the opportunity to introduce you all to him a little better. Unlike 2?, The Trap is actually set during the events of the main series, roughly 2 years after Probable Outcome. In fact several parts of The Trap were originally written for Titan's Fall and then cut due to issues with the overall pacing of the story. Fortunately I've always been a firm believer in never throwing anything out, and what didn't work in the longer novel actually turned out to work considerably better as a stand alone story.
That said, fans who weren't particularly fond of 2? don't need to worry – like that story, this is a completely optional addition to the reading order, and if you really want to skip it you can without risk of getting lost in the plot of Titan's Fall. That said it's also far closer in tone and style to the regular books, so I do hope you'll check it out come Early-To-Mid-February. And not because I like getting royalties. Well, not JUST because I like getting royalties.
And I suppose this is the point where I really should talk about what the story's about… Eh, see the excerpt at the start.
Mary Kay on We've Moved!


Grate the carrots in a food processor or by hand. Add them to a big bowl.
Add in the sea salt and grated ginger.
Using your hands, massage the sea salt and ginger into the carrots for about 5 minutes. Making sure to evenly distribute the salt and ginger.
Let sit for 10 minutes. The salt will draw out the liquid from the carrots making them limp and wet.
Pack the carrots tightly into a mason jar with your hands or use a vegetable stomper. The carrots will become submerged under the liquid. Continue packing in the carrots until they are an inch from the top of the jar. You can place a weight on top to keep them submerged under the brine or push them back down under the brine daily. Seal loosely with a lid so gases from fermentation can escape.
Let them sit in a dark place on your counter for 4-7 days. Make sure they are not in direct sunlight.
If any mold or scrum appears on the top of the carrots just scrape it off. This is common and the carrots under the brine are still good.
Taste them after 4 days. When they are tangy and you like the taste then put them in the fridge. They will store safely in the fridge for several weeks.
You can use pickling weights like these or a rock to keep the carrots submerged under the brine.

Sony Confirms PSVR Games Not Compatible with PSVR2
Rob Grant September 16, 2022 Sony Confirms PSVR Games Not Compatible with PSVR22022-09-17T23:31:29+00:00 Hardware, PSVR, Technology, VR Headsets No Comment
Sony has confirmed that the original PSVR games will not be playable on its upcoming next-generation PlayStation VR2 headset that launches in 2023.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's PlayStation VR 2 headset will not be compatible with games from the original PlayStation VR, the company confirmed yesterday.
Sony said the original PSVR games will not be able to play on the upcoming PSVR2 headset which has been designed to deliver "a truly next-generation VR experience" according to the company's senior vice president of platform experience Hideaki Nishino.
In an interview with the Official PlayStation Podcast which was published on Friday, Nishino goes into detail on how the PSVR2 headset offers "much more advanced features" unlike the PSVR. These features include inside-out tracking, 4K HDR support, adaptive triggers, eye tracking, and a new controller that is equipped with haptic feedback. Due to these new features, games must be developed with "a whole new approach" from that used in the original PSVR headset, Nishino stated.
PlayStation VR2 will not support original PSVR games
Nishino doesn't explain what Sony's "whole new approach will entail" but this will likely have something to do with the vastly different controllers in the two headsets.
The original PSVR games were played using the DualShock 4 gamepad that is tracked using the PlayStation 4 Camera because the PSVR headset was sold with or without PlayStation Move hand controllers which were optional and were only required in some games.
Also, the layout in the new PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers is completely different from that of the erstwhile Move controllers. The new PSVR2 Sense controllers have fewer buttons and, instead, feature thumbsticks and a grip trigger that enables users to naturally pick up objects in virtual reality. Developers looking to adapt their games to the PSVR2 would need to at least remap inputs and update the controller models. Nishino also hinted that a lot of work will need to be done in order to fully leverage the new hardware.
The headset is set to launch in early 2023.

No Secret Balloting by Members of a Public Body
On May 13, 2013, the Illinois Attorney General's Public Access Counselor ("PAC") issued a binding opinion that the use of secret ballots by public bodies violates the Illinois Open Meetings Act ("OMA"). Public Access Opinion 13-006.
The issue of secret balloting by the Edgar County Airport Advisory Board (the "Board") was addressed by the PAC through its request for review process. The Board needed to fill a vacancy, and there were four candidates for the position. During a properly noticed open session meeting of the Board, the names of the four candidates were read out loud; each of the existing Board members then circled their candidate choice on a paper ballot and placed their ballot in a canister. The results of the balloting were read out loud; however, no record of who each Board member voted for was made. The Board then took action to recommend to the Edgar County Board that the candidate who received the most votes be selected to fill the vacancy.
The PAC found that the Board's use of secret balloting violated the OMA because such conduct directly conflicts with the concept of holding open meetings and undermines the public's right to know how its public officials vote on specific issues. The PAC directed the Board in the future to conduct an open vote that informs the public of each Board member's vote before taking final action on any matter which has been properly listed on its agenda.
We recommend that members of a public body be cognizant of this binding opinion when taking final action on a matter.
Catherine R. Locallo, an associate in the firm's Chicago office, prepared this Law Alert.

Hawkins V. McGee
At the age of 11, George A. Hawkins received a thin pencil-sized electrical burn after turning on the kitchen light after a bad storm. Specialists from Montreal were called in but they told George's parents that the damages were minor, and that they should leave it alone. Dr. Edward R. B. McGee would later graft skin from Hawkin's chest, and preform surgery to make "things better" but it actually made things worse.
George was born in 1904 in Berlin to Charles and Rose Hawkins. Mr. McGee was a very prominent man in Berlin, being the mayor form 1928-1931 he also served on the Board of Health and was once in charge of Crippled Children's Services. After George's incident, Dr. McGee promised that the surgery, if done, would give George a "hundred percent perfect hand" because he told them that he had preformed this same operation many times as a U.S. war doctor in Germany during World War I. McGee operated on Hawkins in 1922, taking skin from George's chest, although he told George's mother that the graft would come from the thigh.
It is thought that McGee failed to remove the scar tissue before preforming the graft, thus causing many post-surgery complications. After healing, the hand is said to have partially curled up and bled off and on, problems that George suffered from for the rest of his life. The part on his chest where McGee took skin from is also said to have been as thin as the skin of an onion. Problems got worse when Hawkin's hand started to grow hair, thus the future cause would be nicknamed the "hairy hand" case.
Dr. Edward R. B. McGee (Annual City Report, 1929)
Hawkins filed a lawsuit against McGee for breach of contract in 1926. The jury ruled in Hawkins favor, but the amount was too large for them to award in trial court. They said that the only way the could award him would be if they lowered the sum to $500 dollars. The cause then went to New Hampshire Supreme Court. They also ruled in favor of Hawkins, although precedence would have ruled in favor of McGee on just the basis of the verbal claim.
It was deemed an unusual cause because the fact that McGee lied to the Hawkins family, he said that he preformed the surgery in Germany but he actually only witnessed the surgery being preformed in Germany, thus it was not his place to preform this type of surgery on someone. The court decided that Hawkins should receive the difference between the promised "perfect hand" and the hand in its current state. Hawkins eventually settled their claim for a sum of $1,400 dollars. He would later go back to the specialists in Montreal to see if the hand could be repaired, but the doctors said surgery would do little good.
The "hairy hand" case was relooked at in 1931, when Edward McGee filled a lawsuit against the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Co. in the First Circuit Court of Appeals, which was his insurance company at the time. McGee wanted them to cover the costs that he had to pay Hawkins. The company declined, which the court ruled on their side. This "hairy hand case" was made famous by the book and film "Paper Chase" and is now one of the first cases discussed by students studying law in every university in America.
The Hawkins family didn't find out that this cause became famous until Gail (Hawkins) Horton, George's niece, entered law school at Boston University Law School in 1964. Despite being a famous case, only the Hawkins family knows the effect on both George, who suffered lifelong emotional distress and was very sensitive about his hand, and his parents truly were. George died in 1958 of a massive heart attack, he worked many years for the Brown Company here in Berlin. McGee also spent the rest of his life here in Berlin.

Homeowner Guide to Shallow Geothermal Energy/Ground Source Heat
The homeowner manual is designed to help non-specialists in their decision to purchase and install a domestic ground source heat pump (GSHP) system for home heating. The manual aims to answer some of the questions that a home owner might have with regard to GSHP systems, and in determining whether ground source heat ("shallow geothermal") is for them. The reader is guided through the general considerations that should be made before choosing a GSHP, outlines the choice of different ground source heat collector systems and their design, and provides an overview of what is involved in typical installations. The initial information necessary to understand how a GSHP may be integrated into your home is outlined, and the key requirements that should be considered are given, for both new builds or retrofitting. The Ground Source Heat Suitability maps are based on GSI's geological maps and other data sources, and show which areas of the country are most suitable for the different types of ground source heat collector systems.

Just want to be sure, but looks like I do not see a stnd field option for Comments in the form creator.
This means I will need to set it up in CRM and sync it to the system? Is that correct?
I do see Comment Capture and Comment History - would either of these be appropriate for random comments the end-user might include in a form submission?
Re: Forms & Comments Field?
Yes, Comment Capture is traditionally used on forms, and Comment History is an append-only history-of-comments field maintained in a Smart Campaign.
We have created multiple fields to use for various comment uses across multiple forms to ensure that any "comments" are kept on file for the required short or long term reference.
Short term - For example for event registrations and field for dietary requirements response. We have this inserted in field "Miscellaneous MKTO A" and this value is kept on record in Marketo only till just after event is held and then value is replaced with NULL so field can be reused in future.
Long term - For example for web contact us form and field for comments response. We have this inserted in field "Comments" so that this value will pass to CRM and marketing/sales team to understand query and take action.

'FAST AND LOOSE'
Fox News' Neil Cavuto Busts Trump for 'Constantly' Saying Mexico Would Pay for the Wall
'The president once said that Mexico would pay for the wall,' Neil Cavuto said. 'Apparently he didn't mean it.'
Most Americans probably remember Donald Trump saying on the campaign trail—every chance he could—that he was going to "build the wall" along the southern border and that "Mexico would pay for it."
But when the president claimed during his trip to the border on Thursday that he "never said" they would literally write a check, many Fox News viewers were probably inclined to take him at his word. Thankfully, host Neil Cavuto put in some effort to correct the record this afternoon.
Noting that Trump said something to reporters that "startled a lot of people," Cavuto played his viewers the clip of the president asking, "Do you think they're going to write a check for $20 billion or $10 billion or $5 billion or two cents? No! They're paying for the wall in a great trade deal."
"That is not exactly what you said in the past," Cavuto replied, cutting to a montage of Trump promising to have Mexico, quite literally, "pay for the wall." Sometimes, Trump would even ask his crowd who was going to pay for the wall and they knew to shout back, "Mexico!"
"It was very consistent throughout the campaign, whatever you make of it, and of course it lit up his base by saying the Mexicans were going to foot the bill for this," Cavuto said. "He was very, very clear, consistently—in fact, constantly—saying that the Mexicans were going to pay for this."
From there, the host got back in his Fox News lane, saying the president is "not the only one who has played fast and loose with comments made versus comments now made," going after Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi for being tougher on illegal immigration in the past than they seem to be now.
"Both sides play this game," Cavuto declared. "Both have said things that have locked them into positions that they now are claiming a 180 from. The president once said that Mexico would pay for the wall. Apparently he didn't mean it. Democrats saying there is no crisis at the border when apparently little more than a few months ago there was."
When it comes to Trump's claim that his new trade deal would in effect make Mexico pay for the wall indirectly, Cavuto's Fox News colleague Shepard Smith blew a hole in that theory during his fact-check of Trump's Oval Office speech on Tuesday night. "As for the trade deal he mentioned with Mexico, which he said would pay for the wall," Smith told viewers, "that trade deal is not yet complete."

Government urges states to extend financial literacy program
By Charbel Kadib
The Minister for Revenue and Financial Services is calling on the states and territories to support an initiative to extend a financial literacy program for a further four years.
States and territories have been invited by the federal government to support the expansion of ASIC's MoneySmart teaching program for a further four years in order to overcome the "impediment" of financial insecurity.
The MoneySmart Teaching program provides teachers with the skills and resources to develop stronger financial capabilities in young people.
Minister for Revenue and Financial Services Kelly O'Dwyer said that the program is "essential" to ensuring that students have the know-how to make "sound financial decisions" in the future.
Ms O'Dwyer said: "The new agreement will expand the program to significantly more teachers so financial literacy lessons can have a positive impact on an even greater number of students and schools across Australia.
"Financial literacy education in schools is crucial to ensure that students develop the essential knowledge and skills to make sound financial decisions now and into the future, including when it comes to saving, borrowing and investing.
"That is why we want to give more teachers the capacity to teach their students financial literacy skills — skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives."
Since the program was launched, over 32,000 teachers have taken part in the MoneySmart Teaching development program.

A Bad Case of the Dates: This Wine Glass Smell off to You?
This Wine Glass Smell off to You?
When Gary and I went out to dinner and ordered wine, he asked for his to be served in a coffee mug. When the waitress went to accommodate his request I asked him, "Why a mug?"
He said, "A mug is like comfort food. A mug is a man's best friend. It's small, portable, and durable. When you need a drink, a urinal, or a toilet, it does everything you need. I mean, you need to wash it between uses but it just always makes me feel better to have one nearby."
"Okay," I said. I was anxious to not talk about mugs as toilets anymore.
But you know what? Gary went on, "I've had to use a mug as a toilet twice. Once when my car broke down in Washington state. Another time when I was out camping. You gotta go, you gotta go, you know?"
"All right," I said. Then I looked around the restaurant and did my best to change the subject. "I've never been here before but it seems really nice. Have you tried their seafood?"
He said, "Yeah, crapping in a mug is all right, but I'd avoid it if you can. I mean, forget there being enough room, although clean-up is easier than you'd think."
The waitress returned with our wine. She poured mine in a glass and Gary's in a mug. As she did, Gary pointed at the mug and said to me, "Like this one, here. It's too small."
The waitress said, "Do you want a bigger one?"
Gary said, "Oh, no. We were just talking about something else. Carry on."
The waitress finished pouring and left. Gary held up his mug and inspected it. "Yeah. Too small to be of any real value. But maybe for a kid, if you can get them to sit still and position themselves–"
"Stop talking about it! Just shut up!" I said.
He looked at me like he had been talking about the weather. "W-what's wrong? I was just making conversation."
"Make conversation about something else."
He pressed, "I was just talking about being smart in the face of adversity. If you've ever had to crap in a mug, you'd know–"
"Shut up! Can you shut the mouth about it?"
He gave me a searching stare, like an ape trying to figure out a graphing calculator. Should I hit some buttons? Should I hammer stuff with it? Should I crap on it? Gee, what would be appropriate here? He finally stammered, "I, uh, well, okay. Sure. If it's a really sore subject. I had no idea that it was such a sore subject with you. Jesus."
I sipped down a little more than half my wine (there wasn't a lot in the glass), reached into my purse, pulled out enough to cover my drink, and said, "It was nice meeting you," and I booked it way the hell out of there.
General confusion of reading body language. Not the worst offense. Way worse dates to be had.
You were Gary, weren't you?
"He pressed, "I was just talking about being smart in the face of adversity. If you've ever had to crap in a mug, you'd know–""
If he was reeeeeeally smart, he would have crapped in the grass or in a bush. Like there's plenty of them in camping. And along the roads in Washington State.
Crap in the grass, crap on the side of the road, crap in the bushes, crap in some poison oak, I don't care! But This MAN is a terror to mugs all over the world!
Well damn it...I've been under utilizing these for years.
Speaking strictly from a wine drinking perspective, you could probably get a more generous pour if you were using a mug. The wait staff wouldn't be able to see exactly how full it was and the difference in shape/volume might throw them off, so good thinking Gary. Now, as to shitting in a mug....what a freaking stupid idea. Even if you couldn't use the bushes because you are arctic camping or something, how about a bag? Ziplock? Walmart shopping bag? Anything other than something you were going to drink out of later.
@ JMG - This is what your title made me think of.
Pro tip: Bodily functions is *never* a good topic to discuss on a first date.
Yes it was a strange topic of conversation and the guy is obviously a weirdo but am I the only one thinking OP didn't exactly handle it well either? She went straight from not saying anything about it to yelling at him. I can understand why he gave her that look.
Sometimes you get pushed to your breaking point and can't help it.

Local pot dispensary holds workshop to educate…
Local pot dispensary holds workshop to educate the public
Vallejoan and author Paul Armentano talks about the history of marijuana during the first of two four-hour public discussions on medical marijuana on Saturday in Vallejo.(Chris Riley/Times-Herald)
By Irma Widjojo |
PUBLISHED: March 9, 2014 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
A Vallejo marijuana dispensary held a public workshop Saturday on the medicinal properties of cannabis.
The four-hour event, "Canna we Talk," was held from 4 to 8 p.m. at 415 Georgia St., and organized by 101 North, a "private cannabis club."
"I think we"re at a critical point right now," Michelle Nix of 101 North said. "With the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, there is the start of separation between the recreational and medicinal (use of marijuana). I think we cannot overlook the medicinal side of it."
Nix said the goal of Saturday"s event was to educate the public of the benefits marijuana is believed to have on a
variety of illnesses.
"We"ve got a lot more results and studies now with the emergence of research due to the legalization in Colorado and Washington," Nix said.
The event was non-political and entirely educational, she added.
The presenters included Paul Armentano, the deputy director of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws; Clint Werner, author of Marijuana Gateway To Health; Mike Boutin and B.E. Smith, stars of the reality series Weed Country; and Mario Saucedo of Solano AIDS Coalition.
About two dozen people attended the event, which also included a question and answer session for each speaker.
Nix said the event was aimed at those who might have been recently diagnosed with an illness and want to learn more about using marijuana medicinally.
A Vallejo woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she came to the event with her husband, who is starting to develop dementia.
She said she wants to know if there has been any research that explored that area. The woman said she"s been using medical marijuana for the past two years due to depression and pain caused by her dislocated shoulder.
"It"s helped a lot," she said. "I don"t see anything wrong with it. I only (use marijuana) when I feel like it; I don"t do it everyday."
Marijuana is still recognized as an illegal substance at the federal level.
However, the Vallejo Planning Commission may consider a draft city ordinance on medical marijuana regulation at its March 17 meeting.
Another four-hour workshop is planned for the same time and location on April 19. In addition to Saturday"s speakers, a representative from Americans for Safe Access is expected to speak at that event.

Hey, been a while, I seen more people go to Patreon and forget they had a LOK topic here. And i see some games abandoned or dead. As such I humbly ask The mods to sort the long dead content and put them in a final resting place, A place named Dead man works, or Creation's rest (or whatever name you want). And fellow lurkers, If you can, search Patreon and other sites to find the fate of these games. They maybe dead, but never let their once burning passion be forgotten, for better or worse.
It's true, on here as well as on other sites and forums, 80% of game, mod etc projects are dead and it's always quite tedious to sift through these to find something new to play.
I'll discuss it with the big boss since I don't have the ability to make new forums, but if all goes well then I'll start doing that. Currently what I've done is locked up any topic that hasn't had a post within the last 6 months or so and I suppose that'll work for now, but that also makes the forum a little cluttered. A separate place to make shifting through everything a little less tedious would probably be good.
Okay, thanks, great! Plus, the manual confirmations and the blocking of older threads helps against spam, so that's it as well.

Investors Cold To Latest AOL Re-Shuffle
Sam Gustin Jul 25, 2011 - 7:25 PM CDT
How long before investors lose patience with AOL (NYSE: AOL) CEO Tim Armstrong? The former Google (NSDQ: GOOG) ad executive assumed control of the struggling internet company over two years ago, successfully spun it off from Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) a year later, and has been repeating his turnaround mantra ever since. Over that time, the company has gone through a number of strategic and personnel changes, including the $315 million purchase of the Huffington Post earlier this year. With earnings due soon, Armstrong announced another executive shakeup — but investors weren't impressed, sending the company's shares down over 2.6 percent.
Armstrong can take some comfort knowing that AOL's largest individual shareholder continues to back the turnaround. That shareholder, of course, is Armstrong himself — in a vote of confidence he poured another $10 million into the company in February. Armstrong owns just over 1 million shares, or about 1 percent of the company.
To his credit, Armstrong has made some progress in his mission. Although AOL continued to lose money in the first quarter, display revenue grew 4 percent globally and 11 percent in the U.S, the first time the company reported positive display numbers since 2007. That's important because Armstrong has made display advertising a linchpin of the company's turnaround plan.
The CEO continues to maintain that the turnaround is on track ("The future for AOL is getting brighter and we are on the path of returning AOL to growth.") If so, why the executive shuffle? Why did Armstrong oust ad sales head and former Google colleague Jeff Levick and name Ned Brody as AOL's chief revenue officer, a brand new post? Armstrong told paidContent Editor Staci D. Kramer in an interview today that the company continues to make progress and that the changes were to make it run more smoothly.
It's just the latest shakeup at AOL. Last month the company folded 53 AOL sites into 20 "super-brands" in an effort to streamline operations, and improve the company's "focus." At that time, Armstrong announced that Patch CEO and co-founder Jon Brod would give up his title as COO of the Huffington Post Media Group to focus on AOL's local efforts, including Patch.
Investors will be particularly interested in the Q2 earnings due August 9 — it's the first full quarter with the Huffington Post in the corporate fold. The news and entertainment website has already absorbed several of AOL's content properties and is hiring professional journalists in addition to its stable of some 10,000 unpaid bloggers. The company is spending more than $160 million on its Patch local news initiative, but those efforts have yet to pay off.
Wall Street analysts remain skeptical: AOL shares have fallen 20 percent since the Huffington Post acquisition, and institutional investors shed some 13 million shares according to the most recent quarterly data. AOL execs, meanwhile, have warned investors not to expect anything too spectacular in the Q2 report.
Here's is how AOL stacks up compared to some of its competitors by unique monthly visitors and market capitalization.
1. Google sites: 182,537,000, $200 billion
2. Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) sites: 178,383,000, $17.9 billion
3. Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) sites: 173,562,000, $234 billion
4. Facebook: 160,879,000, $73 billion (SharesPost secondary market)
5. AOL, Inc: 110,447,000, $2 billion
According to comScore (NSDQ: SCOR), Google's Ad Network reached 92.8 percent of Americans online in June, followed by Yahoo's Network Plus (86.3 percent), AOL Advertising (85.9 percent), Yahoo! Sites (83.2 percent) and Google (82.2).

Essays on Technology and Culture
On Video Games as Art, Or On the Art of Video Games
An essay about Technology posted on April 22nd, 2010
Roger Ebert, well respected film critic, brilliant man, and great writer, has launched a missive claiming that (http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/04/video_games_can_never_be_art.html). Certainly, it's one man's opinion, and that's fine. He's never said we're not entitled to disagree. I do find myself compelled to wonder just why he harps on it so. As he is a film critic, I suspect it has something to do with (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/6852383/Video-games-bigger-than-film.html). If you're in film, no matter what side, it's not hard to feel threatened by this development, either. Of course, the reactions from gamers have been pretty damn vitriolic, as one would expect from the group. [Gaming webcomic Penny Arcade makes a good point](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/4/21/), though tempered by calling Ebert's writing on the subject "reeking ejaculate". The man [seemed to take it in good enough spirits, though.](http://twitter.com/ebertchicago/status/12591092196) As for myself, I'm forced to take a contrary stance to Roger, though I'm not exactly much of a gamer. Still, as someone with some training in writing and evaluating art… well, an undergraduate degree in English, I think I can shed some light on the subject.
Ebert asks of art:
> Does art grow better the more it imitates nature? My notion is that it grows better the more it improves or alters nature through an passage through what we might call the artist's soul, or vision. Countless artists have drawn countless nudes. They are all working from nature. Some of there paintings are masterpieces, most are very bad indeed. How do we tell the difference? We know. It is a matter, yes, of taste.
Do we really know? If we knew, even if it's a matter of taste, why are we still banging on about this argument in 2010 CE? One would think it would be figured out by now if we "know". I'll certainly concede Ebert on the point of imitation. Realism in the visual arts often leaves me cold. It's the Impressionists, the Symbolists, the Surrealists, and other people who use reality as a jumping-off point for expression that really excite me. We're getting what Ebert would call "the artist's soul" as a perception filter in those works. Maybe video games lack that.
I suspect the argument comes down to the relationship between art and the audience as determining whether something is art or not. It would seem that the interactivity of a video game is the key thing that splits video games from being "art" in Ebert's mind. It's a major argument in his most recent essay on the matter:
> One obvious difference between art and games is that you can win a game. It has rules, points, objectives, and an outcome. Santiago might cite a immersive game without points or rules, but I would say then it ceases to be a game and becomes a representation of a story, a novel, a play, dance, a film. Those are things you cannot win; you can only experience them.
This seems to be the crux of the argument: art is experienced, video games are played. To put it differently, art's purpose is left to the observer; a video game's purpose is clearly stated. The stated goal of a video game is to score points, beat the boss, save the princess, etc.. By this same argument, one could claim a textbook is not art, as its purpose is delineated, but claim a novel is art, because its purpose is not… except in cases where the novel's purpose is delineated, such as *Atlas Shrugged* or similar polemic works. ((*Atlas Shrugged* is used here, simply as an obvious example. As for its artistic value, I subscribe to Dorothy Parker's view: "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force." I love Dorothy Parker.)) When an artistic work shoves its prescribed interpretation in one's face, it's hard to take it on anything more than aesthetic value. Honestly, I find most polemic artwork to be lacking in aesthetics, too. ((Not to harp on here, but Ayn Rand couldn't write her way out of a wet paper sack with a diamond tipped pen.))
Certainly a video game can captivate the player into a story. It can even create emotion. I recall vividly playing System Shock 2 and wincing as ghosts replayed a massacre of part of the crew in the ship's dining hall. The sequence in the original Starcraft where Sarah Kerrigan is lost to the alien Zerg, and her resurfacing later in the game as a villain is considered one of the most shocking moments in gaming. Had these scenes been in a film, someone would praise it for its shock, horror, drama, and possibly acting. Of course, in a film, the watcher is passive, while in a game, the player is active—for the most part. It is worth noting that in these games, the scene is passive; no action the player takes can save Sarah Kerrigan.
The other question arises: what of open-ended games like SimCity, with its emergent narrative? The "game", for those unfamiliar, is simply to build a "city", with newer versions of the game being remarkably flexible as to what constitutes such a thing. SimCity 4 lets one create anything from a tiny little farming village to a massive, sprawling metropolis. There is no defined goal, no points to be acquired. The only constraint is money. One could, if they felt like it, leave the darn thing open, running, and not build a thing. ((I think somewhere, a too-clever-for-their-own-good installation artist is going to try just that. One may already have.)) The ultimate point behind SimCity, and many similar games, is that one can't win. The experience is open-ended and there is none of the defined outcomes or even objectives that Ebert uses as an argument. A pre-emptive counterargument would be that SimCity and its ilk are less games, and more artistic tools in themselves; something used to create art rather than be art in itself. Of course, who says that a thing can't be both. Industrial design, as an example, is commonly held up as a form of artwork. Take [the work of Dieter Rams](http://www.designaddict.com/design_index/index.cfm/fuseaction/designer_show_one/DESIGNER_ID/175/), or that of his spiritual successor, [Apple's Jonathan Ive](http://designmuseum.org/design/jonathan-ive). What they design may be considered "tools", but they are tools that carry with them an artistic weight of their own.
Of course, there's another side to the argument that I've not seen thrown out there. The game itself is simply the manifestation of the real art—that of the programmers. A clever algorithm for dynamically resizing textures on the go may not sound like art to the layman, but elegant code is an art all its own in certain circles, both on what it does, and how it looks—enter the [Obfuscated C Code Contest](http://www0.us.ioccc.org/main.html) as an example of programming as an aesthetic. Massive amounts of applied art goes into games beyond the code, these days. Artists design characters, backgrounds and textures. Composers create soundtracks that have become hot commodities in recent years. Game design, in itself, can be considered an art; balancing story-telling, degrees of interactivity, difficulty curve, and a myriad of other things to create a compelling product.
As [Penny Arcade puts it in the aforementioned comic, "If a hundred artists create art for *five years*, how could the result not be art?"](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/4/21/) The argument needs to change from not whether video games are art, but to whether video games, as art, are quality art. Is the story compelling? Is the gameplay well thought-out and implemented? Does the game accomplish what it sets out to accomplish? This is already part of the established base question of video game criticism, though video game criticism still hasn't left the level of a determination to buy the game or not. Film criticism and other art criticism work on that level, but also the larger level, exploring the aesthetic value of art, the meaning of art. Certainly, I'd say that most video games don't hold up when given that level of scrutiny. That doesn't mean one shouldn't try to not only scrutinize games on that level, but also to make games that can stand up to such scrutiny. ((How one could do that would be an essay all its own. I will say that the examples cited in [Kellee Santiago's TED Talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9y6MYDSAww&feature=player_embedded), I'm inclined to say that they don't stand up, even without playing them. "Waco Resurrection" does look like just another shooter, and not even a well-done one. "Flower" seems to barely be a "game" at all. "Braid" might come closest to having critical depth, though.)) That might be enough to convince the unconvincible skeptics of gaming as art.

One day after an emotional win over the Miami Heat, the Bulls defeated the New Orleans Hornets 85-77, winning their ninth-straight at home and improving to 27-4 at the United Center.
Derrick Rose scored 24 points and handed out nine assists and Carlos Boozer finished with 19 points to go along with nine rebounds.
Both teams were playing on the second night of a back-to-back and make up two of the top three teams in the league in opponents points allowed. Adding to that, the Hornets were without All-Star point guard Chris Paul, who sat out after suffering a concussion in the Hornets Monday night win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They were also without starting forward Trevor Ariza, who sat out his third-straight game due to a sore groin.
Even with New Orleans being short-handed, they managed to keep the game at a pace where they were comfortable. Chicago built up a six-point lead in the first half, only for the Hornets to come back and tie the game at 43 going into halftime.
The Bulls seemed poised to break away from the Hornets in the third quarter after holding them to 4-of-18 shooting from the field, but as has been the case in Chicagos previous three contest, the game came down to the final few minutes.
The Bulls built a 77-71 lead with under five minutes remaining in the fourth but the Hornets went on a 6-0 run to tie the score with 3:18 left. After a Chicago timeout, Rose was denied at the rim but Joakim Noah (6 points, 13 rebounds) regained possession and lais the ball in while being fouled.
Noah missed the free throw, but the Hornets werent able to convert on their final seven possessions and Chicago drained its free throws to seal the deal.
A good team finds different ways to win, so you have to be able to win with a low-pace and it was a grind-it-out-game," said Tom Thibodeau about both teams shooting under 40 percent for the game. Both teams are playing really good defense so youre going deep into the clock and sometimes, you can score more and you can win that way. The big thing is when its not going well offensively, you have to be able to count on your defense and rebounding and I thought the fact that were able to keep our turnovers down was big for us.
Chicago only had a slight advantage in the rebounding category, 46-41, but managed to keep its turnovers down to nine and was able to move the ball extremely well (24 assists on 31 made field goals) against some pesky defense from New Orleans.
I thought we did a great job on David West, said Boozer about holding the Hornets' power forward to 11 points on 4-of-17 shooting from the field. With Chris Paul being out tonight, we knew they were going to get the ball to him a lot. Our defense was phenomenal and thats why we won.
This was the fifth time in the last six games that the Bulls have scored under 90 points, with the only loss coming in a 83-80 loss against the Hawks last Wednesday. They have held seven straight opponents under 90 points, including three at under 77 and are 6-1 in that span. They also improved to 9-3 in games in which they dont score 90 or more points, which is a positive heading into the final weeks of the season.
They're the most complete team in the NBA right now, said Hornets coach Monty Williams before the game. Their starters can play inside-out, they can shoot, they have great point guard play, a post option, can play pick-and-roll, their bench comes in and does the same.
They can play in transition and play small. They can make you change what you want to do. All their role guys know their spots, to me, thats a complete team.
All they do is win
Boozer came into Mondays game averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds since the return of Noah to the lineup on Feb. 23. He finished with 24 points in one game, a 118-113 loss to the Toronto Raptors, but since that time, his offense has taken quite a dip in production.
Its no secret that teams do their best to keep the ball out of Roses hands as much as possible, but Boozer is also starting to see more attention defensively.
We have to continue to search him out more," said Thibodeau. "Defenses are digging down on him and we still have to get the re-post. We have to give him that second look when he kicks it out, so he can catch it close to the basket. Post-depth is so important, particularly when a team digs well or they double team.
Even with his numbers declining, the Bulls' defense has picked up as the number of possessions per game have declined and the team has won six out of eight games since Noahs return.
Its good, though, said Boozer about his numbers being down. We talk about it all the time with Rose because he gets doubled every game. Its easy basketball once they put two on the ball or they give attention to one or two guys, somebody else is going to be open, so we look for that.
Thats going to happen. If defenses give us a lot of attention, were going to make the right play for our team even if it doesnt lead to the assists, it may lead to the assists by the next person making the right play. Thats part of the game. If its two guys on you, somebodys open, you just have to find them.
Dengs play has picked up since Noahs return as he has benefited from the increased attention on Rose and Boozer and he was averaging 20 points per game coming into Mondays meeting with New Orleans at just under 50 percent shooting from the field.
Were a deep team, said Luol Deng. A lot of times we go out there in the first quarter..., most of the time were just trying to figure out what the defense is trying to do. Ive grown a lot as a player where I see what teams are trying to do and if theyre doubling on Boozer or paying a lot of attention to him, I just try and be more aggressive. If I come out and defenses are not focused on Boozer or Rose, I have to let those guys get going because most of the nights, they are going to carry us offensively.
The Bulls have sole possession of second place in the Eastern Conference and have their eyes set on the number 1 seed going into the playoffs. With that said, as long as the wins keep coming, the team could care less about whos averaging what.
We win, said Boozer. Who cares about stats. All I want to do is win, the rest of it will take care of itself.

The Minister of Education Announces That He Will Conduct Special Level O Examinations From July 26
Leave a Comment / By Iqra Rasheed / May 28, 2021 November 6, 2022
The federal minister of education and vocational training announced. That the special O level exams will be held from 26 July 2021. And the exams will end on 6 august 2021. In this context, the British council has issued the NCOC at the start of the exams.
So that they can start A-level from September without wasting the academic year. Shafqat Mehmood also praised the British council's efforts to conduct the exams. And the authorities concerned will monitor all the procedures in the exam centers.
The Minister of Education Announces:
The minister of education, announces that he will conduct the special level of examinations from July 26. The minister of education has already announced that all investigations in Pakistan will resume after June 15, 2021. Following the third wave of coronavirus infection.
Educational institutions have closed for a long time, and covid-19 has created enormous difficulties in all areas of life. The minister added that the government is fighting hard to help the students. And make the decision, taking into account the well-being of the students.
The Level O Exams:
The placement trial was scheduled for May but was suspended due to an increase in coronavirus causes. The minister stated that the October / November 2021 o-level examination is underway so that candidates can enter the university after the examination. The state minister for education once again clarified that students who do not take the exam will not receive prizes. Perform the test to save students significant time, and administrators will soon publish a revised test schedule.
The Federal Minister Shafqat Mehmood Said:
Today we have issued an NCOC to then the British council allowing. It to conduct special O-level exams from 26 July to 6 August. This will make it easier for O-level students to start level at or FA / FSc in September. And the administrators will soon publish a revised test schedule

Q: Has the resolvent with respect to a regular value a (unique) extension to the whole space? Let $E$ be a $\mathbb R$-Banach space and $(\mathcal D(A),A)$ be a linear operator on $E$ (i.e. $\mathcal D(A)$ is a subspace of $E$ and $A$ is a homomoprihsm between $\mathcal D(A)$ and $E$).
Now, let $$A_\lambda:=A-\lambda\operatorname{id}_{\mathcal D(A)}$$ for $\lambda\in\mathbb R$. In the Wikipedia article, they say that $\lambda\in\mathbb R$ is called regular for $A$ if

*

*$A_\lambda$ is injective

*$R_\lambda(A):=A_\lambda^{-1}$ is bounded

*the range $A_\lambda\mathcal D(A)$ of $A_\lambda$ is dense

Clearly, since $A_\lambda$ is injective, we can talk about its inverse $A_\lambda^{-1}$ and $R_\lambda(A)$ is an isomorphism between $\mathcal R(A_\lambda)=A_\lambda\mathcal D(A)$ and $\mathcal D(A)$. If $R_\lambda(A)$ is bounded, then it has an extension to $E$ and if $\mathcal R(A_\lambda)$ is dense, the extension is unique.
So, $R_\lambda(A)$ can be considered as a bounded linear operator on $E$ with $R_\lambda(A)x=Ax-\lambda x$ for all $x\in\mathcal D(A)$. Does this somehow imply that $A_\lambda$ has a (unique) extension to $E$?

Guest OS support for ASR Hyper-V 2012R2 to Azure
One of the great features for enterprises enabled by the hybrid cloud concept is a cloud disaster recovery. Native Azure solution which stands for enterprise-class DR is named Azure Site Recovery service. It supports multiple DR scenarios, including replica orchestration between two local sites, VMware and bare metal replication to Azure, Hyper-V replica. On Azure website you can find a whole bunch of documentation about the service, from an overview to a good technical detalization.
But while for the most of you it may be pretty obviuos which virtualization scenarios are supported by ASR, it's surprisingly not very easy to find a clear list of supported guest operational systems. Today in my post I'd like to provide you with some links which may be helpful for understanding what exact workloads are supported by ASR in scenario Hyper-V 2012R2 to Azure, and what VMs are actually supported in Azure in general.
1. Let's start from the official docs. What Hyper-V VMs can I protect? - If you're replicating to Azure, Site Recovery supports all the guest operating systems that are supported by Azure. Here you should keep in mind that there are some differences in guest OS support for Hyper-V 2008R2 and Hyper-V 2012 (see table here https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/migrate-heterogeneous-it-environments-to-azure-with-asr/)
2. What are these guest operating systems supported in Azure? Let's divide them in two groups - Linux and Microsoft Servers. Regarding Linux, we have a list of so-called Endorsed Distributions, which are optimized for running in Azure. You can find it here https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-endorsed-distributions/ That's the list of supported Linux guest OS. If you'd like to run on Azure a Linux system which is not there, you may try to make it compatible by following these instructions: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-create-upload-vhd-generic/
3. The detailed list of Microsoft Servers supported in Azure is available here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2721672
4. Finally, here is a general info about workloads supported for protection in ASR: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/site-recovery-workload/
Hope this short note will be helpful.

If you are attempting to find out the top ranked protein powders, it's challenging a obvious answer, as everybody includes a different opinion. It is not simple to compare several items, when they've produced for various reasons, like protein powders. Just how much extra protein you really need should be considered when searching for the best product to help you achieve your objectives for fitness and well-being. Also, just in case you are interested, you need to certainly take a look in the Shakeology meal alternative shake highly suggested.
Eggs can be probably the most-perfect meals by many people nutrition experts. They've all the essential proteins, are lower in body fat and therefore are high in protein. There's grounds the reason why you see some sports athletes put raw eggs inside a blender along with other elements after which drink it, as well as getting plenty of eggs within their diet. Eggs provide you with plenty of protein, but when you do not like eggs, use egg protein powder and also the results would be the same. Although eggs are a pet product, they aren't a dairy product, so they are suitable for anybody who might be lactose-intolerant. When you're searching for something to consume between foods to provide you with a good start, egg protein are the best than either whey protein protein or casein, because its absorption time is between your other two.
Taking protein powder to exchange meals is the option of lots of people. They are protein shakes that you simply make with water, milk or juice together with a protein supplement. You will find a number of reasons to take items for changing your foods, however the primary ones are enhancing performances or slimming down. You need to bear in mind the body has numerous dietary needs apart from protein, therefore it is not recommended to depend positioned on supplements for the nourishment. Even when you are well on a minimal carb diet, you'll still require a certain quantity of carbohydrates. When you substitute a normal meal by utilizing something similar to whey protein protein powders, you will want also to take a number of vitamins and minerals.
Reducing on eating beef is one thing individuals are doing, so as a substitute, you might like to consider beef protein. You may be thinking about trying beef protein powder, but you will find several things you need to know before you decide to do. If you're searching for protein powders, and therefore are allergic to milk products, a great top quality protein to consider rather than either whey protein or casein, It's not the best method of getting protein, because beef includes a low rating around the Biological Value scale, so even whey protein proteins are better. If you are thinking about beef protein powder, opt for the origin from the beef, as factory captive-raised beef consists of many harmful particles and chemicals. When you do not have all the information, items like different protein powders may not seem sensible, but it'll with further research. Once you discover a protein powder that actually works for weight reduction, you will notice that to construct muscles, you'll need another kind. Based on regardless of whether you can tolerate milk items, determines if you're able to use whey protein items or must find options in hemp, soy, or grain proteins.
