RIP James Buchanan: The man who got economists to care about politics
James M. Buchanan on the occasion of his Nobel win. (George Mason University)
By Dylan Matthews
Sad news: Economist and Nobel laureate James M. Buchanan has died at age 93, as first reported by his George Mason University colleague Tyler Cowen. According to his colleague Alex Tabarrok, who heads the Center for the Study of Public Choice at George Mason which Buchanan founded, he was active until the very end, producing papers and giving lectures on a regular basis.
Buchanan is most famous for breathing new life into political economy, the subfield of economics and political science that studies political institutions, and in particular how they affect the economy. In particular, Buchanan is strongly associated with public choice theory, an approach which assumes that individual actors in political contexts are out for themselves, and then uses game theory to model their choices, with the hope of gaining insight into the incentives faced by political actors.
Before Buchanan, economics was primarily about how individuals make choices in the private sphere. He was among the first to argue that it could explain their choices in the public sphere as well. Traditionally, economists have treated the government as a dictatorial "social planner" which is capable of impartially correcting failures in private markets. Buchanan's contribution was pointing out that that social planner also responded to incentives, and that they sometimes pushed him to make markets worse off than he found them.

The picture Buchanan and his colleague Gordon Tullock painted, first and most notably in their book "The Calculus of Consent," is of public institutions as mechanisms for "collective action," wherein self-interested actors make choices that add up to suboptimal policies. Politicians who are out for themselves are likely to make deals with businesses that benefit each party but which hurt other people. A city councilor who wants support from cabdrivers, for instance, could support limiting the number of taxi medallions to keep prices high, which helps the cabdrivers but hurts consumers.
The only way to eliminate such cronyism, Buchanan and Tullock argued, was to insist on unanimity among the members of a polity, but obviously no government can operate if it insists on unanimity among its citizens first. So they argued that some kind of supermajority system was probably preferable to pure majority rule, as it would allow for broadly beneficial policies while preventing those that help the majority at great cost to a minority.
But more important than their particular prescriptions was the distinction they drew between the choices to be made when drafting constitutions, and thus laying down the rules for political actors, and the choices made once the rules are set. Once the rules are clear, Buchanan and other public choice theorists argued that there was basically no room for convincing politicians. As the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences explained in awarding Buchanan the Nobel, "Attempts to advise politicians or affect the outcome of specific issues are often futile; for any given rule system, the outcome is determined largely by prevailing political constellations."
That approach was wildly influential. Buchanan's contemporary Anthony Downs used similar methods to develop his "median voter theorem," which posited that in a majoritarian democracy, policies will converge to fit the preferences of the voter in the absolute middle of the ideological spectrum, while Mancur Olson wrote "The Logic of Collective Action," which helped introduce the idea of a "collective action problem" to economics and political science, partially in response to Buchanan's theories. Both of those authors' conclusions, and in particular Olson's finding that a number of rational individuals can collectively come to irrational decisions, have become almost universally accepted in the social sciences.
Donald Green and Ian Shapiro's " Pathologies of Rational Choice Theory " is perhaps the best critique of Buchanan's approach to political economy. (Yale University Press)
The view is not without its detractors. Public choice theory has been criticized for lacking empirical support, and for assuming that agents are more self-interested and rational than they are in practice. Fellow Nobelist Amartya Sen's objections in particular were trenchant and hilarious:
"Where is the railway station?" he asks me. "There," I say, pointing at the post office, "and would you please post this letter for me on the way?" "Yes," he says, determined to open the envelope and check whether it contains something valuable.
That, Sen argues, is what people would act like if rational choice theories like Buchanan's were true. But obviously no one does that. When asked where the railway station is, we point to the railway station. Buchanan and his allies would respond that while the theory obviously cannot be used to explain all cases, it does explain some big phenomena, and that dismissing it on the basis of small examples like this doesn't do it justice.
Whether you buy his theories or not, Buchanan did enormous good in puncturing the shockingly common idea that political actors can be thought of as divorced from, well, politics. When evaluating a policy, he stressed, we shouldn't just evaluate the policy itself. We should evaluate what incentives are necessary to get politicians to adopt it.

1- Height, weight and the number of erupted permanent teeth among 6-16 years old children in Sulaimani City
Arass Jalal Noori, Shokhan Ahmad Hussein & Dilsoz Abdul Ali
Objectives: This study was conducted in order to evaluate the influence of gender, weight, and height on number of permanent teeth emerged among 6-16 years age group children in Sulaimani city.
Material and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out among randomly selected primary school in Sulaimani city including an oral clinical examination, and weight and height measurements. All measurements were carried out following standardized guidelines. Missing teeth due to extraction were counted as erupted and other cases were excluded from the study if missing of teeth were not approved to be due to tooth extraction.
Results: A total of 1125 children aged 6-16 years were recruited for the study. The overall mean age of the children was 10.7 ± 2.8 years (boys, 10.6 ± 2.6; girls, 10.9 ± 3.0). Females showed higher number of erupted teeth than males by an average of about 1.4 teeth/ child and the total number of erupted teeth was 18.2 teeth/ child in the total sample. Partial correlation coefficient of total numbers of erupted teeth was positively significant with weight in both males and females and was significant with height among females only. The partial correlation results of the eruption (presence) of individual teeth with height and weight were mixed as; all incisor teeth showed no significant relation, but the teeth number 17, 15, 13, and 47 showed positive significant correlation with height and weight.
Conclusions: The mean total number of erupted teeth per child increased with age and the mean total number of erupted teeth was higher in females than males. The influence of weight on the number of erupted teeth was obvious among both males and females, while the height of the child showed a significant influence on the number of erupted teeth only among females. Furthermore, the influences of height and weight on the eruption of individual teeth were inconclusive.

2- Fluoride concentration of well water in different areas of Sulaimani province
Dler Ali Khursheed, Darwn Saeed Abdulateef, Ara Omer Fatah & Aras Maruf Rauf
Objectives: To determine the amount of fluoride concentration in well water of different places in Sulaimani province, Iraq.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-two samples of well water were taken from different areas in Sulaimani Province. The areas are different from the geographical point of view. The water samples were directly taken from the wells pumps. Each sample was filtered through a 0.45 µm and 47 mm diameter membrane filter before analyzing by ion chromatography machine. The machine had been standardized for fluoride ion by using Dionex seven anion standard to allow the machine is reading fluoride ions within these certain concentrations. Anion identification is based on the comparison of analyte signal peak retention times relative to those of known standards. Quantitation is accomplished by measuring the peak area and comparing it to a calibration curve generated from known standards.
Results: All the 22 samples had shown the very low amount of fluoride concentration. The maximum concentration was 0.157 mg/l, and the minimum concentration was zero mg/l.
Conclusion: The fluoride ions in the samples taken from different sources of well water in Sulaimani province had shown concentrations that could not provide any benefits for the purpose of caries prevention.
3- Evaluation of the antimicrobial effects of ozonated water on the sanitization of endodontic files contaminated with C. Albicans
Niaz H. Ghareeb H. Saeed, Chiman H. Fattah, Kawa A. M. Amin & Shakhawan Kadir Kadir
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 0.5 ppm ozonated water in the elimination of Candida albicans, from endodontic files.
Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 20 K-files, 21 mm long and of size 25. Of these, five files were taken as a control group, and the remaining 15 files were divided into three groups of 5 files each and they were tested for the efficacy of sanitization with different disinfecting material: sodium hypochlorite alone, sodium hypochlorite followed by ozonated water and ozonated water alone. From the prepared sample of C.albicans, the 20 K-files were contaminated.
Results: Antimicrobial effectiveness was evaluated by the reduction of microbial counts. Incomplete disinfection of ozonated water up to 20% was observed (%80 sterilization).
Conclusions: The results showed that disinfecting and exposing to ozonated water alone cannot give complete sterilization. Sodium hypochlorite followed by ozonated water can be used as an alternative method for using ozonated water alone.
4- Influence of prefabricated post screw head design on the stress pattern in the core and crown. Finite element stress analysis study
Abdulsalam R Al-Zahawi
Objectives: This study evaluated the influence of dental post head design on the stress distribution in the core and crown structure as an in vitro study.
Materials and Methods: 3D finite element model prepared for three different stainless steel post head designs (rectangular with sharp line angle (A), rectangular with fillet line angle (B), and post with round head (C), inserted in single rooted tooth and retained the composite core and zircon crown. Two configurations of load (100) Newten were applied vertically (V) and lateral oblique (LO) on the occlusal surface of the crown. The results were analyzed and the maximum Von Mises stress option of the stress analysis, at the core and crown parts were compared.
Results: The results shown that the Maximum Von Mises stresses value in design A (45.58, 186.16) MPa, design B (44.48, 183.71) MPa and design C (29.31, 12984) under V load and LO load in sequence. The maximum Von Mises stress location was at the cervical margin of the crown, in design A and B, while located at the top surface of the core for design C under both load configurations. The stresses were concentrated at the top surface of the core in designs A and B, whereas, the stress pattern distributed uniformly in the core structure for design C.
Conclusions: The round post screw head design produces more benign stress distribution under different occlusal load compared with rectangular shape particularly at the crown margin.

Zena Hekmat Altaee, Muhammad Hammad Jasim Al-Ajeely & Yasir Mufeed Abdulateef
Objectives: to determine the prevalence, severity and extension of gingival recession in an adult population in Sulaimani city – Iraq.
Materials and Methods: 627 subjects, males and females were examined at Shorsh teaching hospital - dental center in Sulaimani city to determine the prevalence, severity and extension of gingival recession. The sample was divided into four age groups, group 1 (20 to 29 years) 232 patients, group 2 (30 to 39 years) 223 patients, group 3 (40 to 49 years) 128 patients and group 4 (above 50 years) 44 patients. A calibrated periodontal probe marked up to 15 mm was employed for measuring the amount of gingival recession from cementoenamel junction to the gingival margin on four surfaces of each tooth - mesial, buccal, distal and lingual. Miller's classification was used to evaluate the severity of the recession.
Results: In this study a total of 249 subjects out of 627 recorded gingival recession. Whereas, 1453 teeth out of 6776 adding up to 2340 sites displayed (≥1 mm) gingival recession. Furthermore, the majority of older age group (≥ 50 years) sample revealed gingival recession (93.2%). Statistically gingival recession among male subjects were non-significantly higher than female subjects 46% against 34.5% respectively, whereas females recorded higher number of teeth and sites affected by gingival recession than males (823 teeth against 630 teeth and 1277 sites against 1063 sites). According to Miller's classification, class one recession was most prevalent (55%) followed by class III (38.2%). According to age, Class I recessions decreased as age increased, however, Class III and Class IV recessions showed an increasing status as age increased. According to tooth type, mandibular central and lateral incisors showed the highest percentages of gingival recession (23.6% and 19.4%) respectively.
Conclusion: Prevalence of the gingival recession was high among the population examined in this study with a predilection for males. Gingival recession was more prevalent in higher age groups. Furthermore, mandibular central and lateral incisors were the most frequent teeth revealing recession among the total dentition.
7- Age changes in the position of mandibular foramen related to the occlusal plane and other mandibular parameters on orthopantomograms among 7-11 years old ages among Sulaimani children
Dler Abdulrahman Mohammed
Objectives: Main objective of this study was to estimate gender and age changes in the position of MF in relation to the occlusal plane among boys and girls aged 7 to 11 years old, also to record the distance between MF with each of the anterior border of ramus (AB), posterior border of ramus (PB), and the inferior border of ramus (IB) near the mandibular angle. Another aim was to find a correlation between the gonial angle (GA) and other mandibular ramus parameters.
Materials and Methods: 200 normal panoramic radiographs belong to 100 boys and 100 girls between 7-11 years old age, were included in this study. Radiographs collected from different sources. Seven points; four planes; four lines; and one angle were traced on the right side of the radiographs. AutoCAD and Photoshop programs were used to measure distances from MF to each of the occlusal planes; AB; PB, and IB. also GA were measured. These measuring were assessed and compared in different age and sex groups to determine the relative position of MF to the occlusal plane and other parameters.
Results: These results showed statistically significant increasing in all parameters in relation to the aging process and both sexes (P value<0.5). Boys had higher measurements than girls in all parameters except for the distance between MF and occlusal plane. GA showed a negative correlation with aging in both sexes.
Conclusions: It is concluded that IANB anesthesia is well done if the dental needle inserted below and above the occlusal plane in 7-9 and 10-11 years old boys respectively. While it should be inserted below and above the occlusal plane in 7-8 and 9-11 years old girls respectively. GA has a negative correlation with the occlusal plane and other mandibular parameters (P value<0.5). The relation between MF distance to other mandibular parameters and with advancing age in both sexes were statistically significant (P value<0.5).
8- The selection of maxillary anterior teeth width in relation to facial measurements
Faraidoon Aziz Miran & Shayda Rasheed Muhamad
Objectives: This clinical study was carried out to determine the relationships between maxillary anterior teeth width [canine arc distance, central incisor width], and certain horizontal facial parameters which include: [(Interzygomatic, inner and outer canthus and interpupillary) distances, and (interalar, mouth and philtrum of upper lip) widths], to be used as a guide to selection of the maxillary anterior teeth width.
Materials and Methods: The facial measurements were taken directly from (60) under-graduate students in age range (19-24) years old by using an electronic digital vernier caliper. While canine arc distance and central incisor width were measured indirectly on the casts made from impressions of the selected subjects using flexible millimeter ruler. The collected data were analyzed and correlated using statistical package SPSS version 20.
Results: The mean value of all the parameters measured were significantly higher in males than female, for male just a significant correlation was found between canine arc distance and mouth width, CARCD =0.994×MW, while for females significant correlation was found between canine arc distance mouth width, inner and outer canthal distance, and interpupillary distance, but the most significance relation was with the mouth width, CARCD=1.036×MW, and central incisor width was significantly correlated with, mouth width, CIW = MW ÷6.15, CIW = MW ×0.16.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that certain horizontal facial parameters could be used as a guide in maxillary anterior teeth width selection to achieve an optimal esthetic result for each gender.
9- Complete edentulism and related factors among patients visiting prosthodontics department clinic of School of Dentistry - University of Sulaimani
Kawan Salahaddin Othman, Dana Mustafa Abdulla & Kamil Karim Muhhamad
Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of complete edentulism and associated factors among patients visiting prosthodontics department clinic of School of dentistry Sulaimani University, in order to plan for future oral health care provisions for the society, collecting epidemiological data on oral health particularly related to prosthodontics and its related issues.
Materials and Methods: The samples comprised 280 completely edentulous patients, who attended University of Sulaimani School of dentistry prosthodontics department clinic, patients questioner filled out which covered their age, gender, reasons for edentulousness, medical history, and presence of previous denture and the reason of not using it. The patients were divided in to four age groups; Group I (40-49) years, Group II (50-59) years, Group III (60-69) years, and Group IV 70 years and above. The relationship between the variables were investigated then evaluated.
Results: The results showed that 155 (55.4%) of the patients were males and 125 (44.6%) of the patients were females. The majority of the patients were from age group III (60-69) years, while minority of the patient were from age Group I (40-49). Tooth decay was the major cause of edentulousness (75.4%), while periodontitis constitutes only (24.65) of the cases. Among the total number of participants only (35%) of them were have systemic problems, 61.2% suffered from hypertension, 29.6% were diabetic, and only 9.2% of the patients have cardiovascular problem. Finally, the results revealed that from 280 patients 164 (58.6 %) have previous dentures, poor retention (48.2%), fracture (31.7), tooth wear (12.2%), discomfort (4.2%), and stability (3.7%); were the reason of not using these dentures.
Conclusions: An effective relationship between age, gender, tooth decay, periodontal disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease with edentulism is present.
10- Comparison of predominant cultivable microflora on acrylic denture base resin cured by two different techniques
Neda AL-Kaisy, Salem Abdil- Latif Salem & Tarik Saleh AL-Zubaidy
Objectives: To characterize the prevalence of normal microorganisms on complete upper dentures on successive weeks after insertion reaching a stable condition. Also, to find out the effect of the microwave curing system on the periodic microbiological growth on complete upper dentures and compare them with the results obtained from the water-bath curing method.
Materials and Methods: Ten healthy fully edentulous patients were selected. A comparative micro flora on acrylic resin samples cured by two ways: the water-bath curing method and microwave curing energy. The samples fixed in the fitting surface of complete upper denture. The micro flora were studied during four experimental periods starting from zero time, the time just before the insertion of new complete dentures till the 6th week of denture insertion. The data were analyzed using SPSS software with T-test, and the differences were considered statistically significant at P<0.05.
Results: Various microorganism species isolated from both samples, include streptococci, staphylococci, Gram-positive rods, Gram-negative rods and cocci.
The microwave samples appeared to support significantly more aerobic Gram-positive rods and anaerobic Gram-negative rods, but less aerobic and anaerobic streptococci, Gram-negative cocci, and aerobic staphylococci. No candida growth could be identified before and after denture insertion. In spite of oscillate population of the bacteria, it has been noted it tends to stabilize on two subjects at the 10th week.
Conclusions: It was difficult to decide which one of the either methods of curing acrylic resin is better in harboring fewer microorganisms. The number of both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms significantly increased as the period of wearing denture is prolonged. Early plaque contains different kinds of bacteria; the majority was Gram-positive rods. No candida growth was detected.
11- Modified Flap Design for Lower Third Molar Surgery: A Short Patient-based Outcome Comparative Study
Faaiz Y. Alhamdani, Athil A.Raheem & Basma Kamal
Objectives: to compare the influence of a newly suggest modified flap design on pain and swelling with the traditional two sided flap.
Materials and Methods: Patients were divided into two groups: conventional approach (control) group (n=42) and modified approach (experimental) group (n=41). Pain and swelling were evaluated for the first three postoperative days using 10 cm visual analogue scales. Presence of dry socket was documented in the 7th postoperative day.
Results: There was statistically significant difference on the third postoperative day (p <0.05) in the mean pain score between the two surgical groups. The mean score of swelling in conventional group was slightly higher than the modified approach (p<0.05) in the first and the third post operative days. The incidence of dry socket in the modified approach was significantly less than conventional approach group (p <0.001).
Conclusions: The modified flap design has a relative advantage over the conventional two sided buccal approach in terms of postoperative pain, swelling and dry socket incidence.

Octane is an Active Rock radio station on Sirius XM Satellite Radio channel 37 (previously 20) and Dish Network channel 6037. As a part of the Sirius XM Merger, Octane replaced the XM station SquiZZ on XM channel 48 (later moving to 37) and DirecTV channel 835 (until February 9, 2010). The channel has pure explicit music content that isn't freely heard on most FM radio rock stations, and its musical focus is active rock, playing artists that are new and emerging alongside with familiar active rock acts that are already popular. Octane's music directory consists of artists like Shinedown, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Alice in Chains, Drowning Pool, Nonpoint, Nickelback, Saliva, Tool, System of a Down, Three Days Grace, Evanescence, Anthrax, Rammstein, Rage Against the Machine, 10 Years, Five Finger Death Punch, Down, Staind, Godsmack, Korn, Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Static-X, Fear Factory, Audioslave, Seether, Slipknot, 12 Stones, Avenged Sevenfold, Otep, Bring Me the Horizon, Killswitch Engage, Limp Bizkit, Skillet, and Fuel. Octane plays a well developed new hard rock and alternative metal style of active rock radio music, similar to that played on most hard rock-leaning terrestrial radio stations in the United States, similar to the old Squizz on XM. Octane had the most fans of any Sirius XM Satellite Radio station on Facebook with over 200,000.
Octane is one of five hard rock and heavy metal channels offered by Sirius XM Radio (Ozzy's Boneyard, Hair Nation, Liquid Metal, and Turbo being the others). Faction was formerly associated with the hard rock category before becoming a more punk rock formatted channel.
As part of the Sirius XM Merger, DJs Bohdi and Grant Random were brought over from the now defunct XM station SquiZZ, as well as Big 'Uns, a countdown of the top 15 songs of the week on Saturdays at 2 pm, Sundays at 12 pm, and Wednesdays at 6 pm (all times Eastern). Octane, however, began taking on the playlist of Squizz after this, while still using the channel's S020-FM callsign on Mediabase.

Are "Da Vinci Lips" the Next Popular Lip Shape?
Renee Jacques
This has been quite a year for manipulating lips, mostly thanks to a young woman whose pout is so famous it spawned an Instagram craze. At lease one doctor (along with a million opinionated Facebook commenters) would like to reverse the trend. Tim Pearce, a physician in Manchester, England, has invented something he calls Da Vinci lips.
Instead of using Juvederm to pump up lips so much that they end up looking swollen, Pearce champions a more balanced approach to using fillers that's in line with the rest of a patient's face. According to his website, the treatment changes lips subtly by analyzing a patient's "lip proportions in relation to [their] nose, jaw, and chin [by] using Da Vinci's ideas." Pearce told The Daily Mail that he named the treatment after Da Vinci's golden ratio theory: "Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first people to realize that facial proportions are not arbitrary, that there is a mathematical ideal ratio and geometry for beauty, outside of which it become less attractive," he says. "This principle, otherwise known as the golden ratio, enables us to ensure that patients look more beautiful, rather than just get bigger lips that might not fit their existing facial proportions." Here are one patient's before and after pics:
We reached out to Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, to get his opinion on Pearce's theory. He's on board. "A patient may want large lips, but if she's never had them before and if it does not fit her face, then it will look unnatural," says Zeichner. "The lip needs to complement the rest of the face, and bigger is not always better. Studies have found that the more symmetrical your face is, the more beautiful you may be considered, even across cultures. Symmetrical, well-proportioned lips appear more natural and would generally be considered more attractive than simply an inflated, large lip."
What do you think: Do Da Vinci lips really look any different from other plumped-up lips? Would you get them?

Those who visit the College and Career Center in Room 28 often for the various college visits have probably noticed two maps that are pinned to the wall of the room. These maps can be used to see where the to-be graduating seniors are going for college.
Once they have committed to a certain school, seniors can simply take a triangular tag and put their name and the college they have chosen, and pin it up on one of the maps, either the map of California, or the map of the world.
"It's just fun because you can come in and see where everyone's going for the next chapter of their lives," said Randi Adams, third year parent volunteer at the College and Career Center.
Through the senior map, students can easily and physically see where their friends are heading off to. The map can additionally represent their pride for the schools that they will attend in the fall.
Even though the senior map is relatively empty right now, more tags will be added after the College Fair on April 28, when representatives from four-year colleges, community colleges, trade schools, military organizations, and various careers will be coming, and the map should be considerably full by the end of May.
The map is a fun and easy way to organize where Leigh High School seniors will be for the next few years of their lives. Seniors, once committed to a school, make sure to go to the College and Career Center and plot your school on the senior map.

If you are using our free Plug and Play system, you may set an account level Approved URL on the SITE MANAGEMENT page in your account. This URL will be used on any sale where a product level Approved URL isn't specified or where the Approved URL isn't passed in on the fly as discussed below.
You may also set product level Approved URLs by adding the URLs to the products themselves in your 2Checkout account. You may specify a different Approved URL for each individual product that you have created in our system. These URLs will override any URL set on the Site Management page. We will then use the product level URL to return the customer to when it is purchased.
Using product level approved URLs can conflict with the return features that we have available. The "Direct Return" and "Header Redirect" methods will make the customer skip the Order Processed page and go directly to your approved URL. We can only return the customer to one page at a time, so when product level approved URLs are used, the immediate redirect is disabled for sales with more than one product. The customer will then be presented with a list of the products or services they purchased along with their respective "Download/Customize" buttons to click on our Order Processed page. More information on the return process and supported parameter sets can be found in the Related Articles at the bottom of the article.
Please note: Some third party and custom carts utilize the 2Checkout Plug and Play cart parameter set. If your cart does utilize the 2Checkout Plug and Play cart parameter set you will be able to specify product level approved URLs and have buyers redirected to those approved URLs. If your cart isn't passing in product_id parameters and do not require you create products in your 2Checkout account, then you are not using the Plug and Play cart parameter set.
*IMPORTANT: For security reasons, the value passed in with the x_receipt_link_url parameter MUST match the domain that is listed on your 2Checkout account. You would then need to design your purchase cart or script to pass this parameter into our system along with the appropriate value for that sale.
For more information on setting up the passback URL, please read: How Does the Return Process Work?


Before the year draws to a close, we would like to thank all those who supported the Roundwood Street Festival in August this year. The following local businesses provided cash donations to support the operating costs of the festival.
The following 21 local businesses also provided prizes for the raffle.
So many others gave very generously of their time, skills and equipment before, during and after the festival and without which there could not be a festival.
*Donations were made to Roundwood/Moneystown Parish, Roundwood Parish Hall, Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue and First Responders.
Every effort is made to minimise costs of the festival, however, some significant items of expenditure, for example, insurance (€1,348.90) are unavoidable and difficult to negotiate.
The balance of funds available following the festival will be used to fund local initiatives, for example, upgrading the trails around the Vartry Reservoir and as a reserve to support costs of the 2017 Roundwood Street Festival.
Many thanks to you all for your support in 2016 and we hope you will continue to support the festival in 2017, which will be held between Thursday, 3rd and Sunday, 6th August.

Q: Switching ctrl-c to win-c in console I would like to switch, in terminal, key combinations with control to combinations with win key so e.g. ctrl+c becomes win+c, ctrl+d becomes win+d. Then I would like to set ctrl+c/v for copy and paste. Is there a terminal emulator or shell configuration options that allows this?

A: which terminal emulator are you using? which Linux distro? After you get that you can check the short cuts of the system/terminal emulator.

Teagasc hosts NEFERTITI cross visit
Twenty six farmers, advisors and researchers from six NEFERTITI partner countries visited Ireland recently as part of a cross visit for the NEFERTITI project.
NEFERTITI Cross Visit participants visiting the Animal & Grassland Research and Innovation Centre at Teagasc Moorepark
The main purpose of the visit was to attend a Teagasc Signpost Farm Walk on the farm of Jack, Larry and Annette Kearney in Rathcormac, County Cork. The farm walk focussed on improving farm sustainability, and featured presentations on water quality, biodiversity, EBI, herd health, GHG emissions and carbon footprint.
Cross visits are a method used in the NEFERTITI project to stimulate exchange between project partners, all of whom are engaged in either farming or advisory activities.
NEFERTITI Network 10 leader, Tom O'Dwyer, who welcomed the group to Ireland on behalf of Teagasc, stated "We are delighted to host the latest NEFERTITI cross visit, and see it as an opportunity to both showcase our activities, while also receiving feedback and insights from our colleagues on those same activities."
NEFERTITI project advisor, John Moriarty, said; "This is a great opportunity for our NEFERTITI colleagues to experience an on-farm demonstration where researchers, the host farmers, advisors and industry personnel are collaborating and engaging with the farmer audience."
Sam Bennett, a UK Demonstration farmer, noted that "It's good to see Irish farmers being engaged and open to implementing practices to improve both productivity and environmental factors on their farms."
Viktória Vona, a Hungarian farm advisor, said that "It was great to see that research and advisory strategies are driven by farmer needs, and that once the strategy is identified, clear messages are agreed, with practical solutions shared with farmers at farm walks and other events."
The itinerary also included a visit to a new entrant dairy farm in County Laois and a visit to the Teagasc Animal & Grassland, Research and Innovation Centre at Moorepark, Fermoy, County Cork.

NEFERTITI "Networking European Farms to Enhance Cross Fertilisation and Innovation Uptake Through demonstration" (NEFERTITI) is a unique Network (selected under Programme Horizon 2020) comprising 32 partners and coordinated by ACTA, the head of Network of the French Agricultural Technical Institutes.
The project duration is four years and it will finish on 31st December 2021. The overall objective of NEFERTITI is to establish a highly connected network of well-specified demonstration and pilot farms designed to enhance knowledge exchanges, cross fertilisation among actors and efficient innovation uptake in the farming sector through peer-to-peer demonstration of techniques.
Ten interactive thematic networks were created, bringing together 45 regional clusters (hubs) of demo-farmers and actors involved (advisors, NGOs, industry, education, researchers and policy makers) in 17 countries. Additional information could be found on the project website: www.nefertiti-h2020.eu.

How to Look Good in Pictures
Adelina Kiskyte
|July 10, 2019
Adelina is a curious writer, journalist, a keen traveler and a big fan of bonny Scotland, her second home after Lithuania.
Snap, edit, share – a standard routine and likely your initial reaction as you arrive in Iceland and are greeted by all the amazing views in front of you. Unfortunately, the joy doesn't always last as long as it should — after we soon realize that those pictures we took don't do justice to the awe-inspiring scenes that we just got so excited about.
Forget those lifeless photographs, nobody has time for a boring Instagram feed. We're going to reveal how to take good photos that will not only reflect the true beauty of Icelandic nature but also get the countless likes and comments they deserve!
Lithuanian-based travel photographer Matas Dauginis has been traveling the world and looking at the world through his camera lens for over a decade. He's recently returned from a two-week trip to Iceland, where he did nothing but drive around and capture the grace of the Icelandic landscapes.
Matas has kindly agreed to share some professional tips, tricks, and insights that are sure to make your holiday snaps in Iceland stand out from the crowd and make everyone jealous (in a good way!).
Matas taking pictures in Iceland
Biggest Mistakes People Do When Taking Photos in Iceland
Let's start from the beginning – is Iceland a good destination for people who want great holiday photos?
"Absolutely! Wherever you go and whatever you point your camera at, you'll get a beautiful picture. Icelandic nature is extremely photogenic and this certainly helps to take a great picture."
What are the big mistakes people often make taking holiday pictures?
Quite often people don't think before they take a picture. They just blindly press the button. My advice would be: think about what you want to capture in your shot before you shoot and make it different from every other photo of Iceland you've seen online. Even if it's one of the most photographed places in the country, for example, Kirkjufell mountain on Snæfellsnes peninsula, look for a unique angle.
Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in Iceland
What are your top 3 places for the best pictures in Iceland?
"One top place would be the Seljavallalaug Hidden Hot Pool in southern Iceland. You need to hike for around 15 to 20 minutes, and it's just picture-perfect. Outstanding location, hot water, and jaw-dropping views of mountains all around. The place has a rich history and it's the oldest swimming pool in Iceland, which makes it even more interesting!"
"The second place has to be the Diamond Beach and Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon along the southeastern coast of Iceland. The black beach and bright blue ice create perfect color contrasts."
"And third place goes to the Silfra Fissure in Thingvellir National Park. I've never seen such clear water anywhere else. It's perfect for capturing underwater life and the color palette there is just impressive."
5 Tips for Taking Best Pictures on Vacation
Tell us, what is your secret for taking outstanding pictures on holiday?
First, take pictures with your phone. People ask if it's possible to capture that holiday vibe on their phones – the answer is yes. Smartphones have great cameras with loads of tools to help you capture beautiful pictures, plus they require little technical knowledge.
"If you start taking pictures with professional equipment that you got just before your holiday, then you will probably end up having more stress than fun and won't be happy with the results."
Also, if you use your smartphone, you can edit pictures quickly and post them on social media straight away.
The second tip — make the most of the light during sunrises and sunsets. The light during this time of the day and during the blue-hour or twilight, just after sunset before it gets completely dark, is the perfect time for taking pictures.
When it comes to photographing people — think about your angles. If you're taking a picture of someone who stands quite close to you, try not to take your shot from a low angle, but rather hold your camera at the eye-level. If the person stands slightly further away and you see them in their full length, then you can take it from a lower angle.
If you're capturing landscapes, try not to put the person in the middle of your picture. They should be on either side of the frame. If they're in the center, then the picture becomes all about that person rather than the scenery.
The rule of two-thirds is important when capturing a landscape. The object that you want to get more focus on, should take up two-thirds of the frame. Let's say you spot an amazing pink sky above the sea. The sky is the point you want to bring more attention to, so it should take up twice as much space in the picture as the sea.
"If you start taking pictures with professional equipment that you got just before your holiday, then you will probably end up having more stress than fun and won't be happy with the results."
Taking Photos of People vs Photographing Nature
What shots are more interesting to look at — nature snaps or pictures with people in them?
Both are important, but if you have a person in your shot, it shows the size of the object in the background. For example, everyone standing in front of Skógafoss looks tiny, because the waterfall is so massive. If you take a picture of people and landscapes in the same shot it gives important information that could otherwise be missed in the picture. You want your pictures to be as informative as possible.
Also, pictures with people in them tend to be more attractive, because we like looking at other humans. It gives you a chance to imagine yourself standing in that person's place.
"Also, pictures with people in them tend to be more attractive, because we like looking at other humans. It gives you a chance to imagine yourself standing in that person's place."
What objects in Iceland are the most difficult to take a great picture of?
"I personally found lava fields quite difficult to capture on film. They look flat in pictures and their structure doesn't show as well as it does when you look at the fields with a bare eye. It looks much more impressive in person than it does in any of the photographs I've ever seen."
"Also, all the hot springs are hidden by fog when the outside temperature is low. On one hand, you're not able to capture their full size, but on the other hand, you can get creative and take some snaps that give off a mysterious vibe."
"When it comes to animals, it can be challenging to take a good photograph of them. You should never put yourself or the animal at risk while trying to capture them. If you see that they're not keen on being your model, then it's best to leave it."
"However, Icelandic horses are very friendly and extremely photogenic. They often come to you, so you can definitely take some beautiful snaps of those charming creatures."
"If you struggle to take a picture of a glacier or a large mountain, try going on top of it! In most cases, you'll catch sight of some panoramic scenery that's just as impressive as the object you're standing on. If you can't get to the top of the object, then try to get further away from it and then take a picture."
Lava Field in Iceland
How to Look Good in Pictures and What Photos You Should Share
What can you do to make yourself look good in a picture?
If we're talking about a landscape, then bright clothes always do the trick. They stand out from nature, especially in Iceland, where cold colors dominate the scenery. The bright object creates depth and attracts the eye. Someone wearing dark clothes would simply disappear in the picture.
I've also noticed that people often change completely when you've got a camera pointed at them. My advice is to act naturally, do whatever you would normally do and try to forget that someone's taking a picture. The more naturally you act, the better the photograph you'll get. Just chill and don't focus on the camera.
"Act naturally, do whatever you would normally do and try to forget that someone's taking a picture. The more naturally you act, the better the photograph you'll get"
Try to act natural in front of a camera
How to choose the best picture when you take 50 photos that all look the same?
"When you get home, you might realize that you've got a bunch of the same looking photos. All of them were taken from the same angle, featuring the same person with the same outfit, with the only difference being the location. In this case, you should go with your gut feeling and just pick whatever place you liked the most and of which you've got the fondest memories. That's the picture you should share with your friends!"
Vatnajokull National Park
One very important last question: do the Northern Lights really look better live than in pictures?
"The short and truthful answer is YES. From the technical side, it's very difficult to take a quality picture of the Northern Lights. And it's a completely different experience when you see something this extraordinary with the naked eye. This spectacular sight is one of the few things in the world to which pictures simply can't do justice."
"Northern Lights is one of the few things in the world to which pictures simply can't do justice."
Thank you, Matas! After all these holiday photography tips, I expect to never see any bad pictures of Iceland on social media ever again. Well, at least they certainly won't be coming from my feed! Have you got any photography tips and tricks? Tell us about them in the comments and don't be shy to share your photos with us! Tag us on Facebook or Instagram and show your snaps to the world!

Britain's PM Could Have Talent!
By MSN Celebrity Blog ⋅ May 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment
Article Source: MSN Celebrity Blog
Roll out the red carpet on Downing Street as there could well be a new Prime Minister in town. Over 100,000 MSN readers voted for their choice to lead the country, with Simon Cowell clinching 21% of the online electorate. However, the poll on MSN Entertainment was not quite a landslide victory for Simon, as the absolutely fabulous Joanna Lumley secured 20% of the vote.
Responding to the news, Joanna said: "I am so touched I can't tell you but strangely the answer is no. I have had a look close up at what MPs do, the responsibility on their shoulders and how hard all of them, no matter which party they are in, no matter what position they've got, they work absolutely ceaselessly".
With expenses revelations rocking Westminster, David Cameron calling for a snap general election and Esther Rantzen threatening to wade into the political ring, it may well be a good time to abandon party politics altogether and give the British public what it seems to want. If Arnold Schwarzenegger can be Governor of California then why not Simon Cowell at No.10 Downing Street?
I also think that third placed Sir Trevor McDonald (17%) would make a good PM. However, it seems that super-chef Delia Smith failed to convince the public of her leadership qualities, finishing last with a measly 1% (1,015) of votes, while the middle ground was fought out between mountain-climbing Radio One DJ Chris Moyles (9%), controversial comedian Russell Brand (8%), and pop princess Cheryl Cole (8%).

Q: If I use Jython can I simply edit it with a text editor for webpages? Right now, if I understand Python, not unlike PHP or even VBScript, etc., you can simply open a text editor, edit the code, run again.  This is particularly for webpages in my case.
With Java, don't you have to recompile everytime you make a change?  For example, if I need to add a condition to a method in one of my classes, don't I need to whip out the IDE and compile again?
It seems that with Jython I get the best of all, if I can do what I'm thinking, and assuming you like Python.
edit:  I just want to make sure I can do like I do now with a php page.  Open notepad, notepad++, or textmate, type in the new code, save, refresh webpage.  Is that right?

A: Jython, being a flavor of Python, is an interpreted language. As with all interpreted languages, you don't need to pre-compile the source code before running.
If you're looking for other interpreted languages for the Java Virtual Machine you might find these interesting:
