UK communications industry regulator Ofcom has issued a call for wholesale price changes at network operator BT for businesses leasing products via high-speed telephone lines.
As part of the regulator's latest Business Connectivity Market Review, Ofcom has proposed that BT should now become subject to a series of 'charge controls' aimed at delivering "significant real-terms price reductions for most customers".
The move would have far-reaching financial implications for the nation's businesses, schools, universities and public buildings, with a significant reduction in costs as part of the current £2 billion leased lines market.
Charge controls linked to the Consumer Price Index of inflation would limit the amount BT could raise its prices for these customers, while also incentivising efficiency gains for the network operator.
The new controls would be set up independently for the separate markets of traditional interface technology and newer ethernet-standard connections.
A review of the UK's digital communications is to be carried out by Ofcom.
Ofcom is preparing to rollout a range of new broadband competition measures in the UK.
Regulation could be imposed on leased lines delivering speeds of more than 1Gbps.

Almost all dating apps have a few features in common. That includes location-based results, profiles, and some method of communication. All ten of the dating apps on this list have those features. The first feature, location, makes recommendations from us to you a little difficult. Most big cities have a decent supply of potential matches for most types of people. However, your success in any given dating app is ultimately reliant on how popular that app is in your area.
Zoosk is another one of the most popular dating apps out there. It has a ton of users although we're not sure how many of them are active. It's a fairly standard dating app. You'll create a profile, meet people, and hopefully things go further. Zoosk uses an old-school social media style for their service rather than the more modern quick match style like Tinder. However, that also makes it a prime candidate for spam bots and other such stuff. This one is kind of a wildcard, so use it at your own risk. The service also has two paywalls and we're not big fans of that.
Feeld is an app for people who know what they want. It describes itself as a place to "meet open-minded couples and singles near you," making it the premiere app for unicorns and those who want a more openly kink-friendly app experience. While that may sound pretty niche, Veronica*, 35, who lives in Queens, says Feeld became her favorite dating app. At the time of download, she was single and recovering from a bad breakup. She used Tinder and Bumble for regular dating, but hated the experience. "None of the men seemed cute enough, and a lot of them were exactly as gross and Air-Drop-a-dick-pic-slimy as the stereotypes go," she explains.
Beca, 30, lives in Atlanta and says she "tried and failed at Tinder forever." For her, the choosiness with which Coffee Meets Bagel forces you to approach dating is actually the draw. "The limited amount of daily swipes made me more thoughtful and deliberate with the app," she says. "I much prefer it to apps like Tinder—where you can swipe matches while your friend is in the bar bathroom—when it comes to looking for long-term partners. You have to be much more intentional." She met her now-boyfriend on Coffee Meets Bagel.
Online dating has come a long way in a relatively short period of time. In the past, the online dating options available to singles (or people in open relationships) were fewer and further between. Worse, at the time, free online dating options were often either highly sketchy, putting your identity and privacy at risk, or simply did not have the membership numbers to give you a worthwhile experience.
Badoo has a little bit of everything. It's formatted like Tinder (but with more profile), it tells you if you've crossed paths like happn and you can use it for friends or dating like Bumble. It also has over 300 million users between its website and its app, which means a large dating pool, but also more scammers and fake accounts. Beware of that model who's so into you.
And of course, you'll want to be using the right dating app to get the job done. Luckily, you're looking for a casual encounter at a time when new apps and features are constantly evolving to help you find exactly what it is you're looking for. Not sure which apps to start with? Here are some of the best dating apps for hooking up, as well as our advice on how to use them to your advantage to get lucky tonight.
Statistically speaking, there's plenty of evidence that dating apps work—especially for those among us whose endgame is meeting a long-term partner. There are stats that say marriages among people who met on an app are less likely to end after the first year, and despite a big cultural annoyance about the process, the vast majority of Americans think that, ultimately, apps are a good way to meet people. Even anecdotally, a lot of the people I spoke to for this piece—all of whom self-identified as dating app haters—nevertheless met their long-term partner on an app.
When you're using apps to find a local hookup, there are a few ground rules to keep in mind that will set you up for success in the long run. The first is deciding what to put on your profile. If you're truly here for a good time and not a long time (for casual sex instead of a long-term thing), Elite Dating Managers founder Isabel James says that attracting your next casual encounter can be as easy as being upfront in your profile right from the beginning. "Explicitly state that you're looking for a hookup on your profile," she says. "Something like: 'Not looking for a long-term relationship. Looking to have fun tonight!' makes it clear." Being direct with your expectations from the get-go means you'll only be matching with women who are also looking for something casual with no strings attached, saving you the time it'd take to gauge whether or not your matches are here for the same reason as you are. Dating sites work much better if your match knows what you're looking for, and you're not being misleading.
Starting a new relationship is not rocket science, especially if you have a personal profile on this dating website. Today, you can choose where to search for local singles, on the internet, or in real life. You can meet stunners in public places like clubs, concerts or parks, but how often have you managed to do that successfully? On the other hand, an online dating site gives you everything you need to be successful with every single you meet here. Once you find someone you'd like to date, there are plenty of different features that you can use to flirt with them. You are free to use winks, likes, chat rooms, and more to win the hearts of local stunners. If you're tired of being single and want to find a partner for life or just for occasional dates, don't hesitate to join FlirtDiscreet and open your heart to new excitement!
Hinge makes itself unique by providing prompts to answer instead of making you sweat through the bio-writing process: from, "The key to my heart is…" to, "Where to find me at a party?" and, "I'll pick the first part of the date, you pick the second." Additionally, Hinge opts out of the swipe-based premise by allowing users to like or comment on individual profile photos and prompt answers. From there, the liked user has the option to start the conversation.
The speeches of the preceding paragraphs, if duly considered and implemented, will help to share in a particularly more serene interpersonal relationships in Lovesflirt. This way is created a necessary environment, for a happy turn of people's lives based on what is called individual desires. I just have to renew my greetings to Welcome and so much happiness by Lovesflirt.
Why it's awesome: Before there were apps on which one could swipe right and left on a dizzying number of potential connections, there was Match. Yes, Match is the mother of all dating sites. Launched back in 1995, its decades in the business help it bring a ton of insight to the table for singles looking for all kinds of connections. And with its more recent push into mobile come a few new features that have helped make the ancient site more relevant, including its very own version of Stories, popularized by Snapchat and, uh ... adopted by everyone else. Match users can shoot little videos of their day or add voiceovers to photos and post them to their profiles for other users to check out. "Match is the family brand," Spira says. "It's the one where someone could see their grandmother on, and someone could see their grandson on. It has the largest critical mass, and they have done a fabulous job of keeping up with the technology."
If you're strictly looking for a hookup app, it's always best to prioritize your privacy, and Pure does just that. The free app, designed to facilitate casual flings, erases your profile every hour (although you can easily restore it if your heart desires). The app is basically a geo-location-based online personals app that allows you to list yourself to other local singles for 60-minute periods to see who you match up with. If you mutually match, you can strike up a quick chat with the matching user, but be sure to exchange contact information quickly, as you'll lose contact on the app with that user. After one hour, your profile "self-destructs," erasing your short online personal listing so nothing traces back to you.
How it works: Like a good wingman (or wing woman), Zoosk starts to understand you more and more as time goes on to help introduce you to the person you can spend the night or rest of your life with. The site's unique algorithm recognizes your preferences through the actions you take. The more you interact with the site, the better it can match you with your ideal human.
On a flirting site, you don't need to do much. Just find singles you like, flirt online, and arrange a live date offline. Flirting is easy – you just stay positive, be humourous, and pay compliments to your other partner about their personality and profile. And remember, by flirting online you'll also pimp your skills in communicating and impressing with the opposite gender. Startflirt.com is a popular online dating site where 1000s of single girls and boys meet their soul mates. If you're looking for the same, try us and see that it's the best dating site for you. On our dating site for singles in search, we provide you with the opportunity to seek women and men.
You're looking for a cool chatting platform where you can date and meet other people? You'd like to register immediately and for free without having to provide an email address? You'd love to connect with tons of other singles trying to find somebody to date, flirt or chat with? Then this dating chat is exactly what you need. Some advantages of the app:
Within the first three hours of signing up, Happn welcomed me with 68 users it said I had crossed paths with, even though I hadn't left my apartment all day. It might be helpful if you're looking to date your immediate neighbors (or Uber drivers), but I struggle to see why this is much of a draw when competitors like Tinder already show the distance between you and other users. Frankly, if I saw a cute guy in a coffee shop, I'd rather just approach him than check if he's on Happn. The app seems designed for people who don't want to use online dating but who also don't want to approach people in real life. Pick a lane.

eHarmony was one of the pioneers in the online dating space, and -- while I haven't personally used this one -- we all remember the pitch, thanks to years of TV commercials: The service matches couples based on "29 dimensions" of compatibility (as determined by a thorough relationship questionnaire). While you can review the profiles of your prospective matches for free, you'll need to pay to unlock the full features of the service. But that comes with a guarantee: If, after three months of paid membership and communicating with at least five members, you're not satisfied, eHarmony will refund your money. Despite a rocky road that eventually involved a high-profile lawsuit, the site finally added same-sex dating in 2013, too. I have mixed feelings about using the site myself, but the site is at least technically more inclusive now.
We were named Cupid for a reason: to help lonely people fall in love. Thousands of our users have already found dates in our chat rooms. Making people happy is not just our job, it's a life goal. You can find many free chatting sites, but this one is the easiest to navigate and offers the most exciting way of meeting new charmers. Online chatting offers hundreds of opportunities for those searching for a person to make their heart beat faster. Here you will find plenty of lovely singles for enjoyable chatting.
"Practice safe texts" with Plume, one of the best free flirting apps that finds you the right picture to send for any text conversation. Besides costing $0 and providing an extensive library of striking images to choose from, Plume also has some of the most sophisticated security technology, such as a Virtual Best Friend that will help you not send messages you'll regret the next day and a panic button that will immediately log you out of the app if someone is looking over your shoulder.
Zoosk is another free to use popular flirting app available on Play Store and App Store of Android and iOS respectively. It was founded in December 2014 and it's headquartered in San Francisco. This application is great to connect and meet with new singles. The service is available in more than 24 languages and has a reach in almost 80 countries worldwide. It follows photo verification system which enables you to avoid spams and get appropriate matches.
Affordability isn't the only thing FriendFinder-X has going for it, but it's a good place to start.

Let's start with what Hypnosis isn't. Hypnosis is not sleep, because you'll most likely be awake and alert the entire time. It is common for your attention to drift periodically during a session, and that will not be a factor for effectiveness. Usually, the only people who actually fall asleep are those individuals who are very tired, or have a habit of falling asleep when watching a movie.
Second, it's not mind control – it cannot make you do something you don't want to do.
Neither the hypnotist, nor the hypnosis can force you to make decisions you do not wish to make.
When you utilize it properly, you can gain significant leverage over unhealthy, unproductive, or unwanted habits. Especially the ones you often do without thinking – like you might have caught yourself after the fact.
This can result in quitting smoking easier than ever before in as little as 1 session, losing unwanted pounds naturally and easily, without drugs or diets, and without it being a constant struggle.
See our testimonials page for real-life examples of local people just like you who have used Hypnosis and Autogenic Training to accomplish amazing goals for themselves like quitting smoking in 1 hour, losing 50 pounds naturally in 6 months, resolving a cat allergy in 1 hour, ending compulsive nail biting, putting an end to road rage, or transforming their lives from being stressed out about work and finances to living in a relaxed and easy fashion.
Think of a time when you tried to get the attention of a person in the middle of a good movie or checking email on the computer.
Hypnosis feels very similar to the state of being 'zoned out' in front of the TV or Computer.It happens easily through natural relaxation and focus of attention. You are aware and alert and if you need to get up or interrupt yourself you can – but you are focused intently on what you are doing.
Live and customized sessions with a qualified and specialized hypnotist are always best. It allows your hypnotist to tailor the program specifically to your special and unique needs so you can get the most from your experience.
Suggestions are given to you in a way that accurately reflects the way you're perceiving the problem, and that follow your unique decision making process, will make the hypnosis program more effective.
Give hypnosis a try today in helping you to achieve your goals and make positive changes for yourself.

And back to OmniFocus. Sometimes I change my opinions faster than my underwear.
… Those were the words my wife used recently about me. She's probably right.
While I was, still just a few days ago, very enthusiastic about 2Do, I have made a turn and went back to OmniFocus. A new update came out and at the same time David updated his video, so I thought I could give it a spin again.
I realized (once more, sigh) how much I enjoy and trust the. After all, it's the task-manager that I used the longest and the one I apparently always come back to after every visit to another app. The app somehow feels the most solid to me.
Since the last time I used it (not quite sure how long of a break it was, I guess something around a year) a lot has happened and many features have been added both on the Mac and iOS.
A lot of improvements have happend: The background-sync between the apps works flawlessly and is very fast now. On the iPad I figured, that with some clever arrangement of my perspectives in the sidebar, I can open my most used perspectives with a keyboard shortcut. This makes very enjoyable to work with on the iPad. And once I realized how well the Spotlight integration works, that I can open tasks, folders and perspectives from within Spotlight, I was all set.
Now would be a good time to figure out what kind of workflows and automation stuff I have missed since last time.
I'm sure there is a lot.


Atlanta's entrepreneurial and technology scene has many positives to speak to: the city is home to one of the oldest accelerators in the country, the fourth-largest tech startup hub and the top university for female engineers.
However, it's important to acknowledge areas where innovation can improve statistics that are not as positive. According to the Center for Civic Innovation, 27 percent of Atlanta residents had an income below the poverty level in 2015.
It was a problem that India Hayes, a tech designer who volunteered extensively abroad and domestically, and Anita Jones, who works full-time at the CDC and has a background in filmmaking, felt compelled to address. Jones saw the effects of homelessness firsthand when she produced an award-winning documentary on the city's population.
Last year the two women founded Mini City, an idea rooted firmly at the intersection of tech and social good and as unique as its founders. Mini City uses technology to solve one of the biggest barriers for homeless citizens: lack of the necessary legal identification documents that would help them receive resources and help.
"One of the major impediments to reducing long-term homeless is the difficulty that homeless individuals have securing vital records and identification cards," says Hayes. You need vital records and ID to take advantage of many basic services that empower an individual into sustainable levels of ownership and self-sufficiency. However, there are significant obstacles including costs related to applications and filing fees.
They developed proprietary software that serves as a resource hub to streamline the administration processes for legal identification, vital records, and employment forms. This is paired with a physical wearable device, similar in aesthetics to a Fitbit and other activity trackers, worn by a homeless individual to record and store their information, which is encrypted and monitored on a daily basis.
Mini City then can gather information from users to obtain vital records, like social security cards and birth certificates, and generate resumes and cover letters with stored education and work histories. They also gather basic demographic data like age, race, and location, and narrative-based data like personal goals and accomplishments. This is stored in a secure repository for later analysis.
"We are using the data to place them within job opportunities and their first interviews through relationships with partners like First Step Staffing; and to also show measurable success through completion of each Mini City session," says Hayes.
Mini City obtained sufficient funding to run a pilot program, which started in May, to secure legal identification and outfit 500 homeless citizens with wearable devices. They work each week with homeless individuals at the Salvation Army and ReStart Atlanta shelters with individuals ranging from 1 to 61 years old.
Hayes says the team, now grown to four, is still determining the exact revenue model of the company to scale this far beyond a few hundred citizens.
Hayes says her dream would be to secure enough funding to expand to 5,000 individuals this year. When you crunch the numbers, it makes sense for all parties involved — homelessness costs the city of Atlanta $63 million annually. With a cost of $100 per individual, Mini City's device and software have the potential to save over $8,000 per person.
If even a third of the homeless population completed the program, that's savings of $2.2 million. It's not an easy challenge to tackle, especially when you're still worried about seeking funding, building a product, and the normal challenges of entrepreneurship.
But Hayes firmly believes the city of Atlanta can step up to solve this challenge — and that it's up to everyone.

"This movie was fabulous! It was thrilling and constanly had you asking: What is really going on here? If you like a puzzle you will like this movie. Jonathon Jackson is better then he has ever been and Treat Williams and Linda Hamilton are great as well. To anyone who enjoys a good thriller with a twist you will enjoy this!"
Skeletons in the Closet has real meat on its bones!
"I've seen the initial DVD of this film, which was featured at the Nodance Film Festival. Great scenery, tightly written and edited, great cast. The cast has someone for everyone--Treat Williams & Linda Hamilton for the post-teen audience, Jonathan Jackson and Schuyler Fisk for the young lovers. Although it has some action scenes, it's pull is the uncertainty--who's the bad guy here? Who killed whom? Who's playing the head games? And why? In the end it's all about a family that strugles with family secrets--like murder! Don't miss the opening scene."
OUT OF THE CLOSET
Michael Butts | Martinsburg, WV USA | 01/10/2004
"A man fears his son is a serial killer; the son plays on this and torments his father; is he the culprit or is it the father? That is the premise in this low-key, yet tense and enthralling psychological drama. The answer is rather predictable, but thanks to the intense performances by Treat Williams, Linda Hamilton and Jonathan Jackson, the movie grabs you and doesn't let up until it's last mesmerizing scene. Williams has aged nicely, maintaining that handsome leading man quality, but has gone a little pudgy and hangs on to that guy next door persona. Hamilton, looking a little tired and older,nonetheless conveys a quiet sexuality and seems to enjoy her character; Jackson switches from smart-mouthed brat to the abused victim rather effectively. The direction is terse and not ostentatious, Powers letting the story tell itself.
A tight little overlooked film."
A Nice Little Thriller
Geary A., Jones | 06/04/2008
"This little psych-thriller had some meat to it, but the cast is what made it. Treat Williams, Linda Hamilton, and Jonathan Jackson were excellent, and I found myself quite absorbed by the mindgames that seemed to be going on between the father, and son, not to mention the uncertainty that they provoked in Hamilton's character.
It was fun , and I'll see it again."
Saw it at Nodance too! Fantastic low-budget noir!
Josef K | LA, CA | 06/28/2001
"Beautifully shot and well acted on every level. I'm trying to remember, but I think when Wayne introduced the film at Nodance (in the Main St. Mall, Park City, UT), I thought he said it was shot on Hi-Def... I can't remember. Anyways, the plot is sometimes cliche-riding, but it's still a wonderful and sorta disturbing ride. Nice, nice stuff. Kinda like an audience-friendly Lynch rendition of a back-stabbing, twisted family noir made for tv. Still, it's darn good."


Our project aims to improve introductory computer science classes by using the concept of Cognitive Apprenticeship, which has been shown to improve learning. We are developing and evaluating a set of tools and concepts, forming a software infrastructure that supports this vision for large lectures involving hundreds of students. The curriculum of the courses has been altered to include problem solving sessions.

The course Introduction into Computing at the Technical University of Munich has a typical audience between 400 and 1200 students. It's based on a lecture and associated exercises. The lecture style is broadcast-based, the teacher uses a blackboard or Powerpoint to transmit the knowledge to the class in a broadcast. Problem solving and programming usually can't be taught that way, they require a high degree of interactivity. Interactivity doesn't scale with the number of students. However, in a public university such as TUM, we cannot dream of small introductory classes.Our project aims to improve introductory computer science classes by using the concept of Cognitive Apprenticeship, which has been shown to improve learning. We are developing and evaluating a set of tools and concepts, forming a software infrastructure that supports this vision for large lectures involving hundreds of students. The curriculum of the courses has been altered to include problem solving sessions.Many traditional lectures feature a broadcasting situation where knowledge is transmitted mostly in one direction, from the teacher to the students. Students may ask questions, however, in practice this has serious limitations. In addition to seating and acoustical problems, the large numbers of students does not allow many one-to-one communications - which is the desired situation - between teacher and student. Moreover, many students actually don't dare to ask questions in such a setting. Different speeds of learning can also not be addressed in a broadcast scenario. No matter what the level of difficulty of the lecture is, some students are bored, others are overwhelmed. Even in small settings like exercise sessions for about 20 students there are tasks that benefit from enabling interactivity. One example is conceptual modeling on a virtual canvas shared between all students and the instructor.We encourage communication between students. Active discussion of lecture content enables knowledge transfer from more skilled to less skilled students. It has been shown that this form of cooperative learning brings improvements for all involved participants. We also involve students actively in the lecture. For example, we handed out small problems during the class to the students. These problems have been solved and presented live to the audience and the instructor. Requiring students to actively solve problems with knowledge they have just been exposed to increases their problem solving skills, which is fundamental for software development. Traditional lectures transmit mostly factual knowledge.To achieve our goal of creating a software infrastructure suitable for both participatory lectures and collaborative learning, our project is decomposed into a series of steps. In each step, we increase our knowledge and software foundation for both aspects, and will merge the two eventually. Below, the past, current and planned steps are described in chronological order.
During our first attempts to acquire tools for collaborative models, we noted that there are many traditional approaches for modeling that are not exactly tailored to software engineering exercises. Here, we try to stimulate a flow of ideas and communication about models instead of semantical and syntactical correctness. We call this kind of modeling "conceptual modeling". At that point, we couldn't find tools that support conceptual modeling satisfactorily, so we started to evaluate traditional approaches to see in which direction we needed to steer our development.First, we conducted an experiment (see UML Modeling Tool Evaluation) to compare usability and acceptance of four modeling methods in a student exercise setting. We compared pen and paper, graphics (drawing) programs, UML CASE tools and tablet-based drawing. The result showed that natural drawing was the most intuitive method, but UML CASE tools were more comfortable for ease of modification. As a result, we decided to develop and evaluate a tool that combines those advantages: pen-based drawing that gets translated into modifiable objects.In the student project UML engine we built a lightweight UML editor engine that can be plugged into arbitrary Java Swing windows, even in multiple transparent instances on top of each other.ParLe was our first prototype for a lecture room discussion platform for students and teachers. ParLe allows students to comment and discuss teaching units, from entire chapters down to single media items like single slides, in a distributed multi-user application.The BrainChild tool is an experimental distributed Tablet PC application allowing students to collaboratively edit a set of slides with different levels of privacy and visibility. With BrainChild, we explored new ways of intuitive collaborative pen-based content creation.
With our tool prototypes, research platforms and commercial packages, we conducted studies to explore innovative tool-supported pedagocical concepts. In the Joint Advanced Student School (JASS), part of a series of advanced international courses jointly taught by professors from Munich and St. Petersburg, we equipped all course participants with HP Tablet PCs and assembled them into four mixed Russian/German teams. To overcome the language barrier, all students used various pen-based tools for collaborative modeling and communication, e.g. Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 and our requirements engineering platform Sysiphus. We also conducted an experiment to extend the traditional broadcast-style lectures with a bidirectional lecture approach, called Reverse Engineering Challenge. A lecture was structured as a challenge participation to improve learning efficiency. Students had to reverse engineer a design pattern, improve a given solution and implement it. Those student teams that didn't own any laptops were provided with HP Tablet PCs in order to allow all students to solve the problem as a live challenge. This first (successful) experiment is a starting point for a series for further challenges.
Recent research on the topic of stroke recognition for the creation of UML diagrams open up paths to new advanced modeling tools. Our tool called "Touchable Object Models" (TOM) uses pen-based interaction methods, enhanced by multi-modal input, to compose diagrams of predefined model elements, free-hand drawings and hand-written text. It's aim is to bridge the gap between early design phase diagrams and formal CASE tool diagrams. We plan to apply TOM in exercise sessions and thus emphasize on collaboration aspects during it's development.
We want to confirm our research results from the previous steps and get additional input for our tool development in several case studies. Currently we are conducting a case study with several scenarios about the use of Tablet PCs in exercise sessions. A typical setting for these sessions is one tutor and a group of about 20 students, solving exercise tasks to deepen the knowledge acquired in the lectures. Many of these problems are modeling problems and require manipulating and sharing models among the participants. We will compare different concepts from our previous research to traditional teaching methods and evaluate them in questionnaires and interviews with the participants. This case study is part of the TET project.
As described in the section Vision we decomposed the projects into several steps. In each of these steps there are several projects. These projects are described in the following.
The initial phase of modeling a software system is a creative process where highly abstract models are jotted down, modified and discarded rapidly until a solution concept for the entire problem emerges. In our lectures, we differentiate between conceptual design and specification of models and emphasize the conceptual modeling phase. Students have to solve design pattern problems using UML models. In our experience, solving those kinds of problem with CASE tools often degenerates to technical drawing because those tools are designed for the careful creation of exact and consistent models. Conceptual modeling, however, creates lots of models that aren't necessarily consistent, complete or non-ambiguous in rapid succession. We conducted an experiment to compare the input methods paper/pen, drawing program, CASE tool and Tablet-based drawing. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of those methods in conceptual modeling, we derive requirements for a new tool for solving conceptual modeling problems in software engineering education.
For the development of an application that allows students to collaboratively work on models and see others' annotations on their own results, we needed a lean UML editor engine that plugs into arbitrary Java Swing applications as a window component. The editor had to be able to be stacked transparently in several layers on top of each other and allow elements in the topmost layer to connect with elements in lower layers.
Our goal for the experimental e-learning application ParLe was to allow students to discuss lecture content. In ParLe, students can discuss and extend lecture units and media like slides. A hierarchical threaded comment system allows Web-2.0-like discussion and interaction between students and teacher. A rating system for comments allows filtering and sorting by relevance, excluding low-rated comments to combat comment noise and bringing higly rated comments to the top.
Nowadays, academic education is not only expected to teach abstract sci-entific working methods. In fact, it is desired that students become prepared for working in real companies, on real projects. For this reason, pedagogy has developed various problem-oriented and situation-oriented approaches to teach students the necessary problem solving and group interaction skills. Constructivist paradigms, for example, aim at teaching such problem solving skills by embedding the whole educational process into real-life situations and problems, thus dissolving the common distinction between the lecture and the corresponding exercises. One particularly successful concept for teaching based on authentic activities and natural social interaction is cognitive apprenticeship. Cognitive apprenticeship requires a close master-novice relationship between the teacher and the students. However, such a structure is costly in terms of time and personal care. We investigate how to apply this method to teaching software engineering in the university environment, where a teacher typically faces several dozens, if not hundreds, of students. We start with the assumption that cognitive apprenticeship is applicable even in large academic courses if we enable communication between course participants. To realize communication between all participants, we envision a computer aided learning environment that encourages students to dynamically form groups during the lecture on a demand basis. In these groups the instructor, a teaching assistant, or even a fellow student may play the role of the expert ("master") for a certain period of time. Due to its focus on practical issues, software engineering has a great demand for distinct problem solving skills - not only because programming computers is a structured process in itself, but also because building large and complex systems requires an engineering approach as well. The skills that are considered relevant depend on the concrete goals of the individual course. However, the ability to analyze and design complex systems by collaborating with other members in distributed teams is clearly an important skill for computer scientists. As cross-cultural and inter-regional teams become common practice in the design of software systems, we want to provide the students with an opportunity to gain experience with this style of work while still enrolled in the university. Given the importance (and difficulty) of sharing design ideas, we emphasize the sharing of high-level views in the context of a distributed class: In the course on "Design Patterns for Mobile and Distributed Applications", organized by ETH Zürich and the Center for Digital Technology & Management (CDTM) we try to test the ideas of cognitive apprenticeship in an academic course, including remote student collaboration in a distributed setting. Such a course requires specialized tool support for realizing such scenarios and our goal is to leverage the start-up investment in tools into an improved teaching scenario in the future.
The Joint Advanced Student School is a series of advanced international courses jointly taught by professors from Munich, Germany and St. Petersburg, Russia. The course Advanced Topics in Software Engineering was offered to 14 highly motivated students interested in learning about software project management and applying new technologies in addressing some of its challenges. Active preparation and contribution of the participants was a key requirement. The course consisted of a seminar and a project component. The seminar component focused on some then recent advances in management and technology with respect to the management of large complex software development projects. The overall goal of the project component was to deepen the understanding of concepts discussed in the seminar component. All course participants were equipped with HP Tablet PCs and assembled into four mixed Russian/German teams. These teams worked on developing a meeting management tool for distributed global software projects. To overcome the language barrier, all students used various pen-based tools for collaborative modeling and communication, e.g. Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 and our requirements engineering platform Sysiphus.
This project is an experiment to extend the traditional broadcast-style lectures with a bidirectional lecture approach. New technologies such as wireless networking, laptops/tablets and instant messaging allow for a symmetric and therefore dialog-driven approach for lecturing even in a setting with large amounts of participants. Furthermore by conducting the lecture as a challenge participation was encouraged and thereby learning efficiency was improved. We introduced a design pattern and handed out a related programming assignment to the students. The students had to reverse engineer the design and then enhance the existing solution and finally implement it. Equipping student teams not owning a laptop/tablet with the HP tablets enabled us to let the students solve the problem as a live challenge. The participation in the challenge was very satisfying: Nine minutes after the assignment a first correct solution was submitted. More than half of the student teams submitted a solution by the end of the lecture. This first experiment is a starting point for a series for further challenges.
This project designs, implements and evaluates a CASE tool for the collaborative design of UML diagrams. The tool called "Touchable Object Models" (TOM) uses multi-modal interaction methods to enable composing diagrams of predefined model elements, free-hand drawings and hand-written text. It's aim is to bridge the gap between early design phase diagrams and formal CASE tool diagrams. Following a tornado approach we design a solution that allows for generalization to arbitrary diagram types and exemplarily implement this solution for class and use case diagrams.
The content of the lecture is exercised and thereby better understood by the students in exercise sessions. Most of the exercises are about developing, understanding and modifying models. Despite the affinity to technology induced by the course of study (computer science) in practice often the use of pen and paper or blackboard/white boards is still widespread. This is due to the experience that these methods better conceptional modeling and are more "touchable" than the text box-driven case tools on traditional laptops. These traditional media have known drawbacks concerning modifiability, presentation or collaboration. This project researches a set of scenarios for the use of tablets in exercises to enable a more intuitive, flexible and therefor more "touchable" presentation of models. This project is part of the TABLET research project.

Future belongs to those who know how to conserve energy
Slika: Borko Torbica
Vladimir Spasić
One thing is certain: the years of inefficient energy use are behind us, and the future belongs to those who approach energy generation, transmission, and consumption with much more prudence, Borko Torbica, vice president of Elnos Group, says in an interview with Balkan Green Energy News. Torbica explained how Elnos Group, an electricity company from the region, has grown to become a European concern which operates successfully in the most developed Western markets. He also stressed that the region has a vast potential for the development of renewable energy sources, noting that the years to come will be a great opportunity for launching multiple investment cycles.
As one of the platforms for the region to promote its investment potentials, Torbica highlighted the Trebinje Energy Summit – SET 2020, which Elnos Group has supported and in which it will take an active part together with its business partners.
SET 2020, according to him, comes at the time when a new future of energy is being written, and it has the potential to grow into a regional center for discussions on the energy sector development, with the aim of enabling regional countries to become bigger players in the EU market.
Elnos Group has a decades-long tradition and it operates in as many as 10 countries in Europe. As an electricity company coming from this region, how did you manage to build such a strong presence, not only in regional markets, but also in the demanding markets of developed European countries?
Elnos Group is an international group comprising national companies in 10 European countries. We specialize in electrical energy engineering, with a high level of expert knowledge, and we invest constantly and with dedication in personnel and new technologies.
Adhering to the company's 75-year tradition, we have grown into a European international concern, which employs more than 500 people in Southeastern, Central, and Northern Europe
Venturing into the international market was a great challenge for our engineering business, but we dared to take the leap, and we made it. Embracing new standards and corporate culture brought a new quality into our business.
If you're committed to achieving superior performance, there are no obstacles to success in Europe and the world.
Looking back, we have to be proud, because we can see that while adhering to the 75-year long tradition and our company code, we have grown into a European multinational concern, which employs more than 500 workers and whose business focuses on three European regions: Southeastern Europe, Central Europe, and Northern Europe.
Could you talk about some of Elnos Group's most significant projects?

Elnos Group has built a name that has become a synonym for quality and a trustworthy and reliable partner. By developing internal operating procedures and implementing contemporary project management methodologies, we have certainly achieved a top quality in our projects. Our past projects speak volumes about us. They are like a story about the path filled with challenges that we had walked on.
The company has helped build several hundred megawatts of installed capacity in the renewable energy sector
In the past two decades, we have implemented projects that are changing the face of energy in Europe. We particularly emphasize our credentials in renewable energy, where we have taken part in the construction of several hundred MW of installed capacity in hydropower, wind energy, biomass, and, more recently, solar energy.
We have built large infrastructural facilities and interconnectors on power lines all over Europe. We have taken part in projects to build high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) systems, which are masterpieces of modern technology and which have linked the coasts of the Adriatic Sea and the North Sea with undersea cables.
In Southeastern Europe, we have implemented a large number of projects in Serbia, Montenegro, Republika Srpska, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and Croatia. A big step for the company was entering the Scandinavian market, and our most recent projects were realized in Central and Western Europe.
In Scandinavia, Elnos Group has a track record of over 40 successfully implemented projects
Over 40 projects implemented in Scandinavia – Sweden, Norway, and Iceland – provide a special hallmark for our name and work, a hallmark that is making us recognizable throughout Europe.
In Iceland, for example, we participated in the construction of the 100 MW Burfell 2 hydropower plant, a demanding project that required working at 100 meters below the ground. Also in Iceland, we helped build two 220 kV transmission lines over lava fields – Þeistareykjalína 1 and Kröflulína 4. We have also built a GIS substation at geothermal power plant Krafla and launched construction last year on the longest transmission line to be built in the country in the past 30 years.
We took part in the construction of Europe's longest HVCD system, between Germany and Norway
Our participation in the ongoing construction of Europe's longest HVDC system, between Germany and Norway, the so-called NordLink interconnector, where we are performing electrical assembly works on the 1,400 MW, +/- 515 kV DC Ertsmyra transformer station in Norway, has put us among the top quality engineering companies in Norway.

In Sweden last year, our position as a quality, reliable, and trustworthy partner was reaffirmed by the following projects: the 400 kV substation Skoggsäter, the 130/50/20 kV substation Farhult, the 50/10 kV substtaion Böda-Löttorp, and a new 220 kV transmission line between the 400/220 kV substation Rätan and the 400/130 kV substation Länsterhöjden.
The beginning of the implementation of a new project in Germany in 2020, the 380kV Audorf-Flensburg transmission line, is reaffirming the highest levels of our quality standards as we are working in one of Europe's most demanding markets.
We were also part of the Čibuk project – the largest wind farm in the Western Balkans
In Serbia in the past few years, we have carried out important projects in the field of renewable energy sources, most notably Čibuk, the largest wind farm in the Western Balkans, with an installed capacity of 158 MW. This year we are completing multiyear capital projects in hydropower, such as the revitalization of the 124 MW Zvornik hydropower plant and seven small hydropower plants (250 kW to 2.5 MW) in cooperation with state power utility Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS).
We were also part of EPS' first "green" project in the mining sector, through the construction of Spreader FL Smidth 12.000, a modern mining machine that improved the homogeneity of ore and enabled a more efficient and environmentally-friendly coal mining.
In Republika Srpska last year, we completed part of the work on one of the region's biggest environmental projects in the field of energy – desulfurization at thermal power plant Ugljevik. We have also put in operation the 10 MW Bočac 2 small hydropower plant, as one of the key participants in the project.
In Republika Srpska, we place particular emphasis on the comprehensive modernization of medium- and low-voltage network of Elektroprivreda RS
We are proud to have taken part in the construction of the 50 MW biomass heating plant Eko toplana Banjaluka, a project that has scooped numerous international awards, securing Banja Luka a place among the European green cities.

In Republika Srpska, we put a particular emphasis on the comprehensive modernization of the medium- and low-voltage network of state power utility Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske (ERS), a project with high standards, financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), whose implementation will improve the quality of electricity supply, reduce network losses, and increase the system's efficiency (SAIDI and SAIFI indexes).
For years, Europe and the entire world have been pursuing energy transition and seeking solutions to ensure a sustainable energy future. The European Union (EU) has recently adopted a Green Deal, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable development. To what extent and how is the concept of energy transition incorporated into Elnos Group's development plans? Where does the region stand when it comes to energy transition and the EU's latest plans?
Europe has long realized that the future of energy belongs to those who know how to conserve energy. The concept of energy sustainability is no longer a novelty, but rather a standard, and the Green Deal is a package of very ambitious measures for Europe's new green mission. This document envisages new investments in top-quality research and innovation, as well as environmental protection.
One thing is certain: the years of inefficient energy use are behind us
One thing is certain: the years of inefficient energy use are behind us, and the future belongs to those who approach energy generation, transmission, and consumption with much more prudence and control the consumption of each MWh.
In 2018, we were in involved in projects to install 365 MW of green energy capacities
The Western Balkans' largest wind farm, Čibuk, has an installed capacity of 158 MW
Keeping up with the demands of an a sustainable energy future, Elnos Group's operations have for years been oriented towards increasing renewable energy capacity, as well as developing smart grids in cities. We are pleased to say that in 2018 alone, through participation in various projects, we helped create 365 MW of green energy capacity, contributing to Earth's transition towards green energy sources.
Elnos Group was one of the pioneers of the Smart City project in Novi Sad in 2012
We consider the task of creating the conditions for sustainable energy to be our true calling, and we are especially proud of the fact that Elnos Group was one of the pioneers in the implementation of the Smart City project in Novi Sad in 2012. Through this project, in cooperation with Schneider Electric, we integrated electricity management, storage, and consumption control, creating all the necessary conditions for the city's e-mobility.
Lagging is the main impression when it comes to the region's standing in relation to EU goals
As for the region's current standing in relation to achievements in developing electrical energy goals in the EU, it could briefly be described with the word "lagging," with a different situation in each country.
As a company that has built its leading position in Southeastern Europe, Elnos Group recognizes its role in sharing the knowledge and experience from the EU with partners in countries of the region (power utilities, governments, etc.) with the aim of finding a new vision of the energy system that will shape policies and strategies for the future of energy, guide investments, and change people's minds.*
Changes that are taking place in the energy sector could be an opportunity for the region not only to get a more efficient, cleaner, and more advanced energy system, but also to ensure economic development. What is the region's potential in renewable energy sources? What is the significance of investment in renewables for economic development in the region?
Developing new own energy sources can bring profits and energy security (photo: Elnos Group)
Given the vast potentials of our region when it comes to developing renewable energy sources, the years to come will certainly be a great opportunity for initiating investment cycles.
Green projects bring numerous economic benefits, and they can be of immeasurable significance for the economic development of the region. All it takes is to understand the opportunity and act in the right way. One of such major investment cycles, which we warmly welcome, is the announcement by the ERS general manager of the launch of construction on 1,000 MW of new renewable energy capacities in the next five years.
Certain regions, such as Herzegovina, which has a great wind and solar potential, will certainly be in the focus of the energy of the future
The region has a large renewables potential, which has been underutilized so far. What is necessary is to ensure new investments, and some regions, such as Herzegovina, which has a great wind and solar potential, will certainly be in the focus of the energy of the future. It is important to emphasize that investment in smart grids and energy-efficient buildings and technologies will certainly bring incredible benefits for the economic and energy development of the region.
Investment in smart grids and energy-efficient buildings and technologies will certainly bring incredible benefits for the economic and energy development of the region
Developing new own energy sources can bring profits and energy security, while investments in the network will help boost a more energy-efficient use of energy.
The issue of energy is very closely related to the issue of economic development, which, in turn, has always been the primary and long-term objective of all countries.
Superior technical and economically viable projects and financing models, along with the application of modern energy-efficient technologies, will create opportunities for energy sector companies and open the possibilities for creating thousands of new jobs. The application of clean technologies and the creation of quality environmental values will bring numerous benefits to people, while providing constant revenues to local communities and the state budget during exploitation.
Your company is supporting the first Trebinje Energy Summit – SET 2020. What is your role in it and what, in your view, is the significance of SET 2020, a platform for the business community and the region? What are your expectations from this gathering?
The Trebinje Energy Summit – SET 2020, in my opinion, is one of the best initiatives so far and, given everything I have talked about, its timing is perfect.
It's the right time to promote our investment opportunities and analyze energy plans and development strategies in Southeastern Europe
This period of speedy transition towards new energy sources and a robust growth of European energy markets is the right moment to assess and promote our investment capabilities and analyze energy plans and development strategies of Southeastern Europe as thoroughly and efficiently as possible.
We can say that SET 2020 comes at the right time – the time when a new future of energy is being written and when it is necessary for us to take new leaps in order to become "bigger players" in the EU market. We need a regional conversation to set out our new, clear vision of the energy sector's development and motivate those who are important for its realization. I believe that going forward SET 2020 has the potential to become a regional center of discussions on the energy sector's development.

Last night I walked through the smoke, face mask on. I walked through the smoke with my friend of 30 years. I walked through the smoke through a neighborhood transformed by money. I didn't think about gentrification, that word I learned at college. Instead I thought about how I didn't know where I was because the buildings reached so much higher than they did 18 years ago when I first moved to this neighborhood. The smoke from the fires surrounding our region disorient me. The new buildings disorient me. My friend is my compass, my remember when, my person who knows what it's like to be pissed at the world yet she continues to walk through it with conviction and love.
Last night we were walking through the neighborhood to go to a book launch. At the book launch I realized my writerly jealously has lowered so much lately. Still I wondered what it would have been like to believe I could be a writer back when I was at college. It took so much effort to show up at my poetry writing class, to read my poems out loud. To hear my poetry professor tell me things I wasn't ready to hear. I remember hanging on to my dislike of him because sometimes he didn't show up to class. Still he is the reason I live in Seattle. He told us how all we need to remake our lives is a one-way train ticket. You can move where no one knows your name and remake yourself. He's the voice I heard that propelled me to this city that has now been transformed by wealth. Back then, I moved with my $1500 and made a new life. I saved up that money working as an assistant manager at a bookstore. When I moved to my new city I applied at every writing job I could find until I had an office manager job at a city magazine. The same week I accepted that job I turned down an unpaid internship at a feminist press. I needed a paycheck.
I could spend my whole life wondering what if. What if I believed in my writing enough to apply to and go to grad school in my 20s? What if I had instead worked at the feminist press? What ifs are good for conversation, but at a certain age this conversation grows tiresome. And there is so much to love about where I am now. Where I am now is sitting at a reading where the author introduces me to someone who is in their late 20s. Because she is now freelancing full time thanks to a job lay-off. How do you freelance, she asks? She marvels that I have freelanced for 16 years and I downplay it, saying it fits my motherly life and the work just keeps showing up and I work part time. Ah, she is right though, I should marvel at myself. I encourage her to keep applying to jobs she wants even if she thinks she won't get them. She is rising. Keep going, I say.
And then I am walking through the smoky neighborhood with a mask on next to my friend of 30 years. We are raging against the machine of society as we walk, our cadence familiar and practiced. I slip in the fact that my writerly envy is disappearing after much work. I'm on a path. I keep walking. Through the smoke. I am always arriving, and I write more words to keep me going.
Nancy Schatz Alton is the co-author of two holistic health care guides, The Healthy Back Book and The Healthy Knees Book. When she's not meeting deadlines or teaching writing, she writes poetry and essays and works on her memoir about her daughter's learning journey. She lives in Seattle with her husband, two teen daughters and one Havanese dogs. Read her blog.
Truth, Nancy. Your are an inspiration.
Not least because you can spell.
YOU are an inspiration, of course.
Great post. There won't be a writer alive for whom this lacks echoes. We keep going. No. Matter. What. And in that, I believe there's a kind of grace.
Thank you. Grace. I love the pairing of grace with keep going.
Beautiful. And we are beyond the what ifs. You've come so far since that office job at a city magazine.
Thanks Laura. I'm both amazed at how far I have come and how hard it is to learn to write well. I'm forever trying to figure out how to balance it all, too. Lately I tell myself: one day at a time, and the future will appear.

Home Rrampt Articles Nathan Niigan Noodin Adler writes Indigenous horror stories on the folklore from...
Freelance Contributor
Nathan Niigan Noodin Adler, an Anishinaabe writer, film maker and artist is celebrating the one-year anniversary of his short story collection, Ghost Lake, published with Owen Sound and Neyaashiinimiing (Cape Croker) based Indigenous publisher Kengedonce Press.
"I created a set of short stories that could be read separately but also are strung together with a series of narrative threads which makes the whole set an easy read," says Adler, who is currently living in Vancouver.
Ghost Lake is a compendium of thirteen short horror stories that Adler created based on the lives of fictional characters who live in a rural northern lakeside community. It is a companion novel to Adler's Indigenous horror novel, Wrist (2016).
The short stories are written in the spliced style of horror, urban fantasy and social realism.
"Even though Ghost Lake might have fanciful elements, it's very much based in the here and now. I found it easy to use tropes usually found in horror to explore issues of this world," Adler says while speaking about the overall writing style of the compendium.
According to Adler, who is Jewish, Anishinaabe and a member of Lac de Mille Lacs First Nation, said that although he has also published with other publishing houses, he explains how refreshing it is to publish both Wrist and Ghost Lake with an Ontario Indigenous publisher.
"I like the fact that Kengedonce is an Indigenous owned and operated publishing company," he says. "As an Indigenous writer, it is nice to feel understood and not feel like I must explain and educate others during the publishing process."
When asked if there was anyone that Alder had in mind while writing Ghost Lake Adler's answer is simple.
"Everyone of course, but more specifically, younger Indigenous peoples."
Adler, who grew up in Orangeville, says that he was inspired to write a series of Indigenous-based horror stories after he realized that he had never found horror stories that spoke about the Indigenous monsters and folklore that he had heard growing up.
"When I was growing up, I read many horror stories about vampires, monsters and werewolves, all creatures from Western folklore. When I decided to start writing my own horror stories, I decided it was important to bring in monsters from (Indigenous) traditions."
Although Adler says he finds inspiration in all different aspects of life, he says it is important to highlight cultural influences of his life in his writing. Familial stories and influences commonly find their way into many of his projects, which is why he says celebrating the success and the anniversary of Ghost Lake is so important to him.
"I wanted to create an enjoyable read," he explains. "Ghost Lake took about five years to write and as a slow writer it feels great to have a book out that I can share with people".
Not only were Adler readers impressed with his collection of short stories, but Ghost Lake also has won the 2021 Indigenous Voices Award in Published English Fiction and was shortlisted for the 2021 Eric Hoffer da Vinci Eye Award in Book Design.
In the future, Adler says he is excited to continue to work on creative endeavours spanning across all different genres. He hopes people, especially Indigenous youth, continue to enjoy reading Ghost Lake in the years to come.

WANTED MAN GEORGE APPLETON is dangerous according to Greater Manchester Police and must not be approached. This follows the body of Clare Wood being found in the bedroom of her house on St Simon Street in Blackfriars, on Friday, close to where Appleton lived. In a modern twist police want women who contacted him through dating and social networking websites to come forward.
ONE OF THE BIG COMPLAINTS about the way Wythenshawe functions concerns the infrastructure. Plans for a new multi-million pound bus station in Wythenshawe to be completed in 2011 have moved a step closer following a decision to approve £200,000 of spending for initial designs for the station. Councillor Andrew Fender, said: "Our plan is to vastly improve the public transport in and out of the town centre, with first class bus and tram facilities."
CARLOS TEVEZ CAR WAS IN THE DARK a little too much according to police. They stopped him while driving because certain windows on the vehicle were illegally tinted. They then found that the United soccer star did not have a full UK driving licence. His £140,000 Bentley was seized and later removed under the Road Traffic Act 1988.
RUTHERFORD'S LABORATORY in Coupland Street at the University of Manchester has been closed due to a radiation scare. In 1919 Nobel prize-winner Ernest Rutherford split the atom here. Radioactivity associated with the work may, it's claimed, have caused the death of two lecturers. Now building tests have revealed the likely presence of mercury under the floorboards.

Mark Klein was there when the network of telecommunication giant AT&T was 'enhanced' with fiber taps into major links, with the duplicated data going into a secret room under NSA (national security agency) control. The now famous room 641A at Folsom Street in San Francisco. In this book he describes the process of getting involved in placing the taps and what he did after this to bring this spying on Americans to the light, resulting in a lawsuit against AT&T by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. A long and frustrating process with media ignoring this news and possible pressure to not publish the story. An interesting book to read, but at the same time very disconcerting to interpret, as the practices described in the book are very probably still active today and the US law is very clear on spying on foreigners by the NSA: go ahead, enjoy.
Whistleblower Mark Klein tells the story of the illegal government spying apparatus installed at an AT&T office by the National Security Agency, and his battle to bring it to light and protect Americans' 4th Amendment rights. After the New York Times revealed in 2005 that the NSA was spying on Americans' phone calls and e-mail without Constitutionally-required court warrants, the Bush administration openly defended this practice which also violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. All details of the highly secret program remained hidden from the public—until Klein came forward. A technician for over 22 years at telecom giant AT&T, Klein was working in the Internet room in San Francisco in 2003 and discovered the NSA was vacuuming everyone's communications into a secret room, and he had the documents to prove it (sample pages included). He went to the media in 2006, and then became a witness in a lawsuit brought against the company by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

By Jaz, August 21, 2009
Logically following on from my last post, I wanted to do up a little list of what I believe to be the worst ESC entries from the last ten years. As much as it breaks my Eurovision-marinated heart to do so, even I have to admit that sometimes, the only way to describe a song is with two words, as coined by the great Des Mangan – 'colossal crap'. Here goes nothin'…
MALTA – Times Three – 'Believe In Piece' (Okay, so it's not the worst song I have ever heard. But if there's one major thing about music that I cannot stand, it is clichéd lyrics. We have all heard them before, and I am sick of them. "I believe in fun, not the only one"? Well I can tell you, your performance was not much fun for my ears at all.)
ISRAEL – Ping Pong – 'Sa'me'akh (Be Happy)' (With a group called Ping Pong, how high a standard could we expect from their song? Some songs are boring, some have terrible lyrics, some are unoriginal and some are just like this – the whole package.)
RUSSIA – Mumiy Troll – 'Lady Alpine Blue' (I think my contempt for this song stems from my completely rational fear of the lead singer. Three minutes of leering and hair-flicking and I was having nightmares. But actually listen to the song, and you should discover that it's really…quite bad.)
SWITZERLAND – Francine Jordi – 'Dans Le Jardin De Mon Ame' (If the garden of her soul looks anything like it sounds, then I don't want to spend time in it. I should imagine that it's full of weeds. The poor Swiss haven't had the greatest run in Eurovision, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why…)
UKRAINE – Oleksandr – 'Hasta La Vista' (Oh dear. Ukraine couldn't have picked worse for their debut entry, but shockingly, they still didn't come last! This song can only be described as a mess.)
IRELAND – Chris Doran – 'If My World Stopped Turning' (This was a hard one for me – I think the 04 final was pretty top-notch. So my choice came down to the boring, unoriginal songs, and of those, Ireland's happened to be THE most boring. Yawn!)
GERMANY – Gracia – 'Run and Hide' (Something tells me I won't have much contention to deal with on this one. It really was awful, wasn't it? Those 'ah-ee-ai's' in the chorus made me want to burst my own eardrums. I didn't though.)
MOLDOVA – Arsenium feat. Natalia Gordienko & Connect-R – 'Loca' (Despite being a teensy bit catchy, this song is about a 50% effort from the usually unique Moldovans. It was so bad Natalia had to strip onstage in a desperate attempt to rescue it and garner some votes. It did not work. At least they redeemed themselves in 2007.)
UNITED KINGDOM – Scooch – 'Flying The Flag (For You)' (it was only a matter of time before a novelty song made the list. This gem from the UK really proved that they don't take the contest seriously. And why should they? At least until 2009, when they managed to make the top 5 with a slightly better song.)
SPAIN – Rodolfo Chikilcuatre – 'Baila El Chiki-Chiki' (Words fail me. This song is another annoyingly catchy number. But that is the only thing it has going for it. A toy guitar? Come on!)
I just can't do it! The only songs that I didn't like, from the Czech Republic and Latvia, weren't in the final. Hence I JUST CAN'T DO IT! But that's a good thing. 2009 was such an awesome year all round, so Oslo – you have big, big shoes to fill.
