Accessories? There's a wide range of accessories, including spare batteries, cases, chargers, in-car kits, hands-free units, data cables and fascias, available at Carphone Warehouse and MobileShop.
Email from your 3230 If you're looking to use your 3230 for sending and receiving e-mail, consider taking out an account with free provider, BT Yahoo. For details of connectivity, see our Series 60 Getting Connected section.
How do I use WAP / What is 'Services'? As well as a web browser, the 3230 has a WAP browser, which can be accessed via the Services menu. For details of Wap on a 3230, and using WAP, see our Series 60 WAP page
How do I connect my 3230 to my PC?
The 3230 can connect to a PC via a cable, or over Bluetooth. Here is a summary of how to connect your 3230 to your PC.
Bluetooth connection. From the 3230, select 'Connect | Bluetooth'. Turn Bluetooth 'On', then move to the second tab by moving the joystick to the right. This should show you all Bluetooth devices in range. If your PC isn't shown, select 'Options | New paired device' and let the 3230 search for the PC connection. When the phone and PC are paired, use the Nokia Connectivity package to select the file you want to send to the 3230.
If your PC doesn't support Bluetooth, then you can add it cheaply and easily using a USB Bluetooth adapter. We recommend the Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter available for around £15 from amazon.co.uk.
For details of Bluetooth, see our Bluetooth page, and for help connecting, see our PC connectivity page
USB cable - This phone can be connected to a PC using a USB cable known as the Nokia DKU-2 Connectivity cable. This can be purchased online at MobileShop or Dial-a-phone. To use this, you will need a dedicated driver available from Nokia site. Once connected, you can use the Nokia PC Suite to transfer data and back up the phone.
Memory card reader. If you don't want to beam files from your PC to the phone, another option is to make use of the MMC card slot in the 3230. Get hold of a Memory card reader for around £20 and copy files onto an MMC card plugged into your PC. Find out more on our Memory card page.
Files beamed to the 3230 can be found in the Messaging application, in the Inbox folder
How do I install software?
Software for Symbian OS phones is normally supplied using a Symbian installation file (with a .sis extension). This is a single file that contains the components needed to get a piece of software installed and ready to run. A SIS file can be run on a Symbian phone (e.g. from the Inbox or via a file manager. It can also be run via the PC connectivity solution that was supplied on the CD with the handset. Assuming you have a SIS file on your PC/Mac (either downloaded from the Internet or on a CD), the ways to install a SIS file onto your handset are as follows:
Beaming - Beam the file to your handset from your PC using Bluetooth. If you don't currently have the ability to beam files to the handset via Bluetooth (either from another handheld device or from a PC), then you may wish to purchase an adapter for your PC (this means you'll be able to install software, backup and synchronise data between phone and PC) - See our Series 60 PC connectivity page for more.
USB cable - Your can connect your 3230 to your PC via a USB cable - See our Series 60 PC connectivity page for more.
By email - The alternative, is to email the file that you're trying to install, typically a SIS (Symbian installation file) to your own email account, and then use your phone to logon to your email (details) and download the SIS file as an attachment into your phone's Messaging Inbox.
Via memory card - There is another alternative for users of phones that take memory cards (such as the 3230) by transferring the SIS file to the handset via the card slot and a PC MMC Memory card reader. Copy files onto an MMC from your PC, and then insert the MMC card into your handset. You'll need to have a file manager on your 3230 to access the file from the memory card.
If you've downloaded an application and find you can't install it - make sure the file you're trying to install is a SIS (Symbian Installation) file. Many files are distributed in a compressed form (using the ZIP file format). If the file has a .ZIP extension, you'll need to unzip it first. You can do this with a PC application such as WinZip, or on the phone itself using the ZipMan application.
Hotmail and AOL access?
Hotmail and AOL use proprietary email systems, as opposed to the more common POP email systems - this makes it tricky to access mail on a Series 60 device. For email on the move, consider using a standard POP3 provider such as BT Yahoo (see setup details) that offers free email accounts that can be configured on a Series 60 phone.
If you really want to use Hotmail or AOL, see our Series 60 FAQ on this subject.
Alternative connectivity software
Rather than the software that came as standard with the phone, there's a rather useful third-party application called Oxygen II - This application supports Contacts, Calendar, Messaging and file management.
For details of how this works, take a look at our Oxygen page
Can I use the 3230 in the States? Yes. The 3230 is a tri-band phone operating on EGSM900/1800 (Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific), and GSM1900 (USA, Canada, South America). There should be no problem using the 3230 with network operators in these countries. Roaming restrictions from your network operator may prevent use of some services in other countries.
Receive faxes on your mobile Looking to get faxes on your Series 60 phone? See our answer in the Series 60 FAQ
Format the 3230 For info on how to format the Nokia 3230, see our Series 60 FAQ
What's my 3230's serial number?
Enter '*#06#' for your handset's serial number (known as the IMEI) - useful if your phone is stolen

The Rip 3
by Mark Brandi
Mark Brandi
4/5 Rating 3 Reviews Add your review Edit my Review
The new novel from the critically acclaimed, bestselling author of Wimmera
An urban crime novel that slowly and masterfully hooks you in... then shocks with the horrific crime and the dread that the characters you care about aren't going to make it out alive.
It's funny how quick it happens and without you really noticing. Anton said once that it's like walking out into the sea, and you think everything's fine and the water's warm, but when you turn back you're suddenly miles from shore. I've never been much of a swimmer, but I get what he means. Like, being caught in a current or something. A rip.
A young woman living on the street has to keep her wits about her.
Or her friends. But when the drugs kick in that can be hard.
Anton has been looking out for her. She was safe with him. But then Steve came along.
He had something over Anton. Must have. But he had a flat they could crash in. And gear in his pocket. And she can't stop thinking about it. A good hit makes everything all right.
But the flat smells weird.
There's a lock on Steve's bedroom door.
And the guy is intense.
The problem is, sometimes you just don't know you are in too deep, until you are drowning.

Explores the human side of addiction
by Melissa on 23/04/2019
This is a beautifully written story that really shows the human beings behind addiction. As someone who lives in Melbourne being able to picture the characters as they travel along with Sunny through the streets of Melbourne was an added bonus, the places all so familiar. So many human moments and the eloquent simplicity of a character who just loves her two friends (Anton and Sunny), I really enjoyed this book. Getting a signed copy that I didn't realise I had ordered was a nice surprise.

Lovers of last year's literary crime hit Wimmera should be well pleased to hear that Mark Brandi is back with The Rip, another book as astonishing and captivating as his first. The Rip is remarkably well-named. Like Wimmera, it's a slow-burn story with a punch that you don't see coming, set in the criminal underworld of Melbourne. In this world lives a young woman, struggling with the weight of poverty and addiction, who is clinging to the last shreds of a stable life while trying to ignore the signs that danger might be circling closer than she thought.
This is a bleak but remarkable story of survival, made exceptional by Brandi's incredible writing. With sparse and striking prose, Brandi weaves an undercurrent of dread throughout the novel that makes us all too aware of how we are only ever a few degrees removed from a world we would rather not see. This is an unflinching look at a complicated life which shows addiction and destruction to have no prejudice. It'll stay with you for a long time afterwards.

When Florentine Ariosto Jones arrived in Switzerland in the late 1860s to set up a watch company using the modern industrial techniques of his native Boston, he received little welcome in Geneva. So he continued east, to Schaffhausen, where he found a small outpost of watchmakers educated in the German tradition and a power plant on the Rhine that could power his state-of-the-art factory. Jones settled there and called his new venture International Watch Company. This year is IWC's 150th anniversary, a jubilee in watchmaking that certainly calls for celebration. To mark this occasion, the watchmakers have created a line of limited-edition commemorative watches drawing from their most iconic collections- the Pilot, Portugiser, Da Vinci, and Portofino. These celebratory watches honor a long and distinguished history for IWC and are sure to become future classics.

Summerfest Attendance Fell 9.3% This Year
The festival cites "external factors"
by Evan Rytlewski
If you attended Summerfest this year and noticed that the event was maybe a bit less crowded than in years past, it wasn't just you. Festival attendance was down by nearly 10% from last year, the festival revealed today in its annual report to the media.
The event welcomed 772,652 patrons this year, a decline of more than 79,000 (or about 9.3%) from last year's tally of around 852,000. In a press release, Summerfest CEO Don Smiley pointed fingers at a number of external factors, including cool weather, construction and the poignantly timed MCTS work stoppage.
"In this business, there are certain elements within your control and various elements that are out of your control," Smiley said. :This year we dealt with some extraordinary factors that significantly affected people's participation with the event. Between significant area road construction which led to very challenging routes and traffic congestion, unseasonably cold weather for the first half of the festival and a major mass transit work stoppage by transit workers during the event, Summerfest's numbers were negatively impacted. The music was outstanding, as were the food and beverages, and other attractions. The event business is very unpredictable, however, our local, national and international attendees, along with a world-wide streaming audience, got a 'bird's eye view' of Milwaukee and its musical gem. We now move on to 2016."
For those who love combing over highly specific numbers, the complete press release is below.
MILWAUKEE (July 7, 2015) – Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. officials announced preliminary data on Summerfest, "The World's Largest Music Festival." The strong and diverse talent lineup and marketing push helped garner national and international media coverage prior to and during the event, however, external factors during the event impacted attendance at this year's music festival.
Despite several significant factors during this year's festival, which were outside of the control of the event, Summerfest hosted 772,652 patrons. In addition, Summerfest hosted The Rolling Stones with 23,000 fans in the Marcus Amphitheater for "The Ultimate Kick-Off to Summerfest" on June 23.
"In this business, there are certain elements within your control and various elements that are out of your control. This year we dealt with some extraordinary factors that significantly affected people's participation with the event," said Don Smiley, President and CEO of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. "Between significant area road construction which led to very challenging routes and traffic congestion, unseasonably cold weather for the first half of the festival and a major mass transit work stoppage by transit workers during the event, Summerfest's numbers were negatively impacted. The music was outstanding, as were the food and beverages, and other attractions. The event business is very unpredictable, however, our local, national and international attendees, along with a world-wide streaming audience, got a 'bird's eye view' of Milwaukee and its musical gem. We now move on to 2016."
Summerfest employed nearly 2,289 seasonal employees overall. Additionally, 700 volunteer shifts, equating to 3,000 hours from 300 volunteers and drivers, contributed to help the festival run smoothly.
Summerfest delivered unforgettable live music experiences to patrons of every age. Over 800 acts took the stage with over 1,000 performances. Performers included The Rolling Stones with special guest Buddy Guy, Florida Georgia Line with special guests Thomas Rhett and Frankie Ballard, Kings of Leon with special guest KONGOS, Keith Urban with special guests Phillip Phillips and Dan + Shay, Stevie Wonder, Zac Brown Band, Linkin Park with special guests The one and only PPL MVR and A Day to Remember, Kendrick Lamar with special guest ScHoolboy Q, Carrie Underwood with special guest A Thousand Horses, Ed Sheeran with special guest Rixton, The Avett Brothers with special guests Brandi Carlile and Warren Haynes, Neil Young and Promise of the Real with special guest Grace Potter, Kaskade, Bastille, The Flaming Lips, Sheryl Crow, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, LeCrae, Santigold, Jane's Addiction, Aloe Blacc, The Doobie Brothers, Sammy Hagar and The Circle, Halestorm, The Kooks, Lindsey Stirling, Timeflies, Blind Boys of Alabama, AWOLNATION and many more.
Summerfest's Corporate Sales forged new marketing partnerships with brands including, Patrick Cudahy, Meijer, Uber, Rockstar Energy Drink, Sendik's, Quaker Chewy, Quaker, Nabisco, Kemps, Mike Juneau's Arrow Hyundai, Reverbnation and Live Media Group.
While data on national and international coverage is still being compiled, the initial media results are extremely positive with 5,805 articles written about the event. Notably, 537 of which were from international media outlets. Overall, media coverage of Summerfest was stronger than ever, including coverage from Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Consequence of Sound, Brit + Co, USA Today, Harper's Bazaar, Billboard, Billboard Radio China, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, Country Weekly, Pollstar, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times.
For the first time in Summerfest history, the festival's highlights of artists' performances and interviews were streamed "live" to the world over the internet and mobile devices via a partnership withLive Media Group. This partnership featured "THE BEST OF SUMMERFEST 2015 - LIVE!," a one of a kind, Summerfest live music experience to over 700,000 online fans, originating from 66 countries from around the globe, broadcasting performances by over 60 artists, including Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Sammy Hagar, Vance Joy, Andy Grammar, Kings of Leon and The Doobie Brothers and others.

In 2015, Summerfest created a new unique partnership with Shazam, one of the world's most popular music-based apps, to offer fans a FREE Weekday Admission E-Ticket when they Shazamed the Summerfest TV commercial. Over 3,800 E-Tickets were downloaded from the Shazam promotion.

I would have gone three times, but didn't as I was afraid past incidents of violence would be repeated. Its too hard to be bothered to find out which rap or hip hop groups are going to cause the undesirable crowd to show up and cause problems like they experienced in the past when Pitbull and Wiz Kkalifa were performing. Or the issues at State Fair or after the fireworks or at Tosa Fest or the ones that caused the Greek Festival to have to relocate from the Church to State Fair Park. Unfortunately the leadership of this city doesn't appear to want to acknowledge the problem, preferring to either not discuss it or categorize it.

I'd say the crappy music selection had a lot to do with it. I had the choice of two of my days off from work to come up. I had a free ticket, I know where to find free parking and all I would have to pay for was gas, food and beer. But looking over the list of bands on both days, I couldn't find one band I wanted to hear.So I stayed home and spent my money on other things.

The Very Worst Thing the Government Can Do
Posted on May 15, 2012, 1:21 pm by Keith Koffler • 37 Comments
As I remember it, I was in the White House Briefing Room in February 2009 when I heard something shocking. I'd covered the White House since 1997, and I couldn't really remember hearing something like this before.
The White House, in the person of Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, was assailing a private citizen. CNBC reporter Rick Santelli had had the nerve to object volubly to President Obama's mortgage refinancing assistance plan. And so Gibbs attacked:
Well, let's go through this, because I do think this is very important. And I've watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives, but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgage, stay in their job, pay their bills, to send their kids to school, and to hope that they don't get sick or that somebody they care for gets sick and sends them into bankruptcy.
I also think it's tremendously important that for people who rant on cable television to be responsible and understand what it is they're talking about. I feel assured that Mr. Santelli doesn't know what he's talking about.
Many brushed it off because Santelli was on TV and presumably was used to rough and tumble and could defend himself. That he was on TV, of course, actually made Gibbs' comments worse, because the president's press secretary was chilling free speech.
Soon enough, Gibbs went on to others, sticking it to Rush Limbaugh and even an entire network, Fox News.
People got used to it. Attacking private citizens became the new normal.
But what a slippery slope Mr. Gibbs put us on. I hope you noticed this piece Friday by Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal. The Obama campaign is busying itself looking into the private lives of donors to Mitt Romney. It is merely the logical extension of the thinking at the White House, which makes Obama enemies in the private sector – and their speech – fair game.
From her piece:
Three weeks ago, an Obama campaign website, "Keeping GOP Honest," took the extraordinary step of publicly naming and assailing eight private citizens backing Mr. Romney. Titled "Behind the curtain: a brief history of Romney's donors," the post accused the eight of being "wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records." Mr. VanderSloot was one of the eight, smeared particularly as being "litigious, combative and a bitter foe of the gay rights movement."
About a week after that post, a man named Michael Wolf contacted the Bonneville County Courthouse in Idaho Falls in search of court records regarding Mr. VanderSloot. Specifically, Mr. Wolf wanted all the documents dealing with Mr. VanderSloot's divorces, as well as a case involving a dispute with a former Melaleuca employee.
This is the very worst thing a government – or its proxies – can do. It is the practice of the world's small petty satraps and its totalitarian behemoths. It's just not tolerable here.
And yet, it's happening. The White House has gone from criticizing private citizens to investigating them. What's next, arresting them?
What if Mr. Wolf comes up with some illegal activity on the part of Mr. VanderSloot. Well, it's his duty – just doing his duty – to alert Mr. Holder.
And then we have our very first political prisoner. Hopefully Mr. Gibbs will bake him a cake.

Disgusting….and what is the Republican leadership saying about this?
When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people, you have liberty. Thomas Jefferson
"Republican leadership"? = pathetic & weak

Good post Keith. It's shameless and beneath the office of the President.

With the exception of a few bright spots on the "new" blogosphere media (like you Mr. K) there is NO journalism or free dissemination of events. Just a corps (or corpse for Duh Won) of breathless stenographers who parrot every word given to them by their Dear Leader.
Research, fact checking, verifying sources….pfff. "Wasn't Barack dreamy on The View?!?"
Turning on those who "don't think like them." Well…to them THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO THINK. Doesn't that signify the loss of free will and that the indoctrination is complete? Goebels woulda been proud.

I've been following this story since Kimberly Strassel first reported about the website a few weeks ago. Her recent follow up about Mr. VanderSloot is very interesting and I am glad to see that Mr. VanderSloot has been vocal about this. Unfortunately, this disgusting tactic will do what it was designed to do – intimidate others into not donating to Romney at all. The Chicago crowd brought their "Chicago way" to the White House in January 2009 and it's time we evict them.
Btw, have you all seen this? The BHO administration has revised almost EVERY single presidential bio on the WH website to include a reference to "The One"! The hubris just never ends!
http://hotair.com/archives/2012/05/15/obama-in-history/
I did, indeed. Reminds of the hooty-tooty-snootie types, who simply must "name drop" to give their existence credence. Since the altering of history is being done at very top, it's well beyond being snootie – it's subversive, manipulative, dangerous and outrageous. I don't think even his "loyal" followers realize to what extent he and his enablers will go to, to insure power and control, which leads me to the other big story – drones. Thirty thousand (30,000) to be operational by 2020. Once upon a time 20/20 referred to vision and now it's a blind spot.
Congress funds the FAA and "we" fund Congress by taxation. Next logical question…why?
Krauthammer: Domestic Surveillance Drones Should Be Banned
Apologies, the link didn't work. Here's the quote from Krauthammer:
I would predict, (I'm not encouraging it!) but I'll predict that the first guy who uses a Second Amendment weapon to bring a drone down that has been hovering over his house, is going to be a folk hero in this country.
Saw the video on Right Scoop. Don't always agree with Dr. Krauthammer, but on this issue I agree with him.

Long after SarahPalin left the campaign trail and returned to her private life, the MSM chased any mention of a scandal or misstatement that could hurt her and sadly, her family, too. The Obama campaign only has to single out 9 or 10 Romney contributors to warn other wealthy donors that their private lives will come under scrutiny and innuendos of wrong-doing.
With the protection and cover from the MSM, the Obama campaign operates in any fashion they feel will help reelect their chosen candidate. Working hand in glove with the campaign, TV personalities have no fear of being chastised for whatever slurs or lies they promote against Mr or MrsRomney.
The only solution is to remove this evil fraud from power.
Wigglesworth says:
"What's next, arresting them?"
I'm sure Obama's operatives at the IRS are going over the personal and corporate tax returns of Romney's big donors.
I need to go back and review the history of Watergate. Are there not parallels, such as enemies lists and the like?
Niemoller updated:
First they came for the opinionated, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not opinionated.
Then they came for the donors, and I did not speak out–

Because I was not a conservative.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.

Small petty satraps, the Obama Administration? Keith, isn't that redundant?
Please keep pointing this stuff out. I just hope enough people are listening!!
Hey, just looked up "small petty satrap" in the dictionary and there was a picture of Barack Obama (I misspelled it the first time and typed "small PRETTY satrsap" and it came up with a picture of the president of Argentina!)
This is why Barack Hussein Obama is nothing but a G*D-DAMN SOCIALIST!!!

If Netanyahu stays in power I'd vote for Israel.
Excellent article Keith. Thank you for taking a stand. This man is a spoiled immature tyrant who wants to silence all opposition, so he sends his leftist attack dogs out to do his dirty work. He's even demonizing his own kind.
You can add Jamie Dimon to his growing list of enemies. Not sure how he lost favor with the agitator in chief, but the regime's flying monkeys are trying to demonize him into resigning from the New York Fed. All the usual suspects are involved – Lizzy "Squaw Running Scared" Warren, Sen. Bernie "the commie" Sanders, and leftist blogs like huffpo, daily kos, and daily beast. They are implementing their old Alinsky tactics – "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
So I have a friend who sends me wacky conspiracy stuff all the time. I just roll my eyes,but latley I am starting to wonder when I hear stuff like this and the drone thing.
http://beforeitsnews.com/story/2128/441/DHS_Whistleblower:_Obama_Will_Commit_Reichstag_Event_To_Trigger_Martial_Law.html
I would have agreed that the wacky conspiratorial theories were just that and nothing more…BUT by the time the 30,000 drones are up in the skies, it will mark a century of the progressive movement. Couple that with a battle cry from Van Jones "we need the next century" and I begin to see a much darker chapter, not unlike "creeping Sharia". The most disconcerning part is that self-professed conservatives are not raging and shaking the cages. Just because Jones is no longer "officially" part of the administration does not mean he is not sending signals for them. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a clear link between the progressive movement and Islamists (whatever word you want to insert here). Otherwise, the trial of Nidal Hassan would have been over and done with. Instead it has been postponed until this October when I fully expect it to be postponed til after the election.
Personally, I think the ones that have been "kicked out" of the WH are more dangerous than those that stay. They are free to do and say what they please and to work behind the scenes away from public scrutiny.
I am also beginning to think twice about some of these conspiracy theories, and I've never been the tin foil hat type before. There's just too many coincidences and too many dots that can be connected.
Moe says:
Thank you for covering this story Keith, it deserves to be told to all Americans across the country. When I first read this story it gave me chills, still does. This is behavior the nuns told me about in school during WW2, I pray our national nightmare will be over soon.
sportinlife10 says:
Gosh, Keith, thanks for this post. It's chilling.
I'm not inclined to easily believe in massive and intricate plots, but the more I read abuot these Chicago thugs, the more I must doubt the Breitbart narrative of sudden unexplained Heart Failure.
Guillermo Grande says:
Ok folks. Is this the government or is it political operatives? There is a difference. From what is out there now this doesnt seem to rise to the level of Nixon's enimies l
This is being done with the explicit knowledge of the president. If this was being done by a CEO of any large corporation they would be fired and maybe prosecuted. He is exactly like Nixon and also FDR who had the IRS investigate his political enemies.
Yeah yeah. These are slimy, lying, theavin, rat bastards who can not be trusted with the keys to a graveyard lest they try to steal the souls from the dead. We know that. Did anyone exepect anything different? Foole once…. I guess I'm saying nobody should be surprised by dirty politics from this bunch.
Ok that didn't work right. Was going to spiel check but fat fingers got in the way. Anyway Nixon's enemies list isn't the same as this. It is a good thing we live in a free country where all they can do is investigate and smear. Read up on some the the poor chaps in Russia etc. Good for ganders loot (damn iPhone) for the courage and resources to speak his mind in the light of day. We are still free as long as we think and act like we are.
If Obama hadn't perverted the office of the presidency by politicizing it I might agree with you. Everything this administration does is political. He's so psychotic he's rewriting White House historical pages to include reference to himself. No doubt in my mind he using the power of the federal government to destroy his opponents.
O/T (kind of), but about honor among businessfolk;
The Founder of Best Buy (Electronics) has resigned. There are two scandals going on here: one, a Stock/shares scandal, the other a wrong, specifically prohibited relationship between an Exec and an employee. In any case, Richard Schulze has resigned. According to local news, he announced that he should've acted as CEO and reported to the Board, to whom he was responsible. Instead, he chose to deal personally w/the exec involved, as if he was still the owner/founder.
It's a big deal, many many jobs. It looks as if Schulze acted honorably so far. And/but it's interesting, given the climate that the o administration has nurtured and fostered: ANYTHING GOES. WE WON.

Hell is empty. The devils are here.


Today I tried this new color combo for the first time! I love the fire-y feeling of this wine color combined with the orange. I was inspired by a an article on academichic regarding colors and how to combine them. Check it out here.
Oooh you always have such interesting ways of wearing scarves! Adore the star earrings too!
I think it must have been really difficult to try and combine those three hues together, particularly the wine and orange since they are on such different sides of the color spectrum.
But I think the fact that your top had gold studs, which combines well with your gold scarf, and then the skirt being a light color, made this whole outfit work really nicely. Congratulations!
Thanks for your comment on Weardrobe!

10 Most Evil Empires in History
Top Known and Unknown Facts
10. The Soviet Union (1922-1989)
Under Stalinist control, the USSR instigated a regime of terror across Russia and Eastern Europe. They intended to eliminate all of the so-called enemies of socialism, and in doing so they killed an estimated 20 million people. Millions of prisoners were sent to Russia's overcrowded Gulags, where they were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and execution. Rat torture was one of the techniques used to gain confessions of betrayal. Guards stripped victims naked and attached a rat cage to their abdomen. The bars were then heated, and the rat would try and escape the heat by burrowing deep into the victims' abdomen. The government also took control of farmland across the Soviet states, and when farmers refused to hand over their land, Stalin caused a man-made famine to starve the peasants into submission. Borders were closed and grain seized. This severely restricted access to food and ultimately caused the deaths of 7 million people.
9. The Ottoman Empire (1301-1922)
Stretching over three continents and lasting over six centuries, the Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful empires in history at its height. But toward the end of its existence it committed several notable atrocities. In 1876, 8,000 Ottoman soldiers massacred the defenseless population of Batak in Bulgaria, beheading and burning alive at least 5,000 people. Between 1915 and 1918 the Ottoman government slaughtered 1.5 million of the 2 million Armenians living in Turkey. This was in an attempt to systematically exterminate non-Muslims from their homeland. During the genocide, children and the elderly were sent on death marches through the Syrian desert. This covered hundreds of miles, and those marching were often naked so they would perish from dehydration and the heat of the sun. To this day, the Turkish government denies the Armenian genocide, in which ruthless armies called 'butcher battalions' allegedly drowned people, burned victims alive, and threw them off cliffs.
8. The Spanish Empire (1492-1892)
Up to 5 million people died as a result of Spain's expansion into South America during the 15th and 16th centuries. Many of these deaths can be attributed to the conquest of the city of Tenochtitlan in 1521, when an estimated 200,000 Aztecs were massacred by the invaders. A further 3 million died as a result of a smallpox epidemic, after the disease was brought to the region by the Spanish. The Spanish Inquisition was also introduced throughout the empire to ensure that the population adhered to their interpretation of the Catholic faith. An estimated 150,000 people were interrogated and tortured. One of their favored methods involved the head crusher, a metal cap that compressed the head using a screw, until the skull shattered. Another was the knee-splitter, a vice-like instrument covered in spikes that mutilated the victims' knees and leg bones so that they couldn't walk.
7. The Portuguese Empire (1415 - 1999)
Portugal's Empire sought to spread Catholicism around the world and profit from the agricultural and gold resources of others. They expanded into South America, Africa, and Asia. More than 5 million people died in the process. Widely considered to have introduced the Transatlantic Slave trade, Portugal exported more than 4 and a half million people out of Africa - almost twice as many as any other colonial power. Most were severely mistreated, and disobedient slaves were lashed, burned with hot wax, or sexually assaulted. Meanwhile in India, Portugal established the "Goa Inquisition", in which Hindus were burned at the stake and boiled alive with molten oil. All to convert people to Christianity. In the 20th Century Portugal faced international pressure to release its African colonies, but refused to do so, and responded in the 1970s by massacring its enslaved people. Thousands were executed and tortured. Teenage girls were crucified on trees and had their breasts cut off, men were castrated, and children had their eyes gouged out.
6. The Mongols (1206-1368)
The Mongols slaughtered 11% of the world's population - around 40 million people - to build an empire that covered nearly a quarter of the Earth's surface. Among the dead were innocent civilians, including pregnant women. Citadels like Samarkand were laid waste in just 5 days. And when the Mongol army plundered the Khwarezmid Empire in Persia, they punished rebels by pouring molten silver into their eyes for challenging the invasion. They may even have created bio warfare, as historians have traced the deadly Black Death pandemic of the Middle Ages to the siege of Kaffa. The Mongols weaponized the newly found bubonic plague by catapulting diseased corpses over city walls, infecting entire populations.
5. Imperial Japan (1868-1945)
The Japanese military regime murdered around 8 million people on its mission to become the supreme Asian state. In December 1937 the Japanese Imperial Army marched into China's then-capital, Nanking, and slaughtered 300,000 out of 600,000 civilians. An estimated 80,000 women as old as 70 and as young as 8 were dragged off and sexually assaulted by groups of Japanese soldiers. They were then stabbed to death with bayonets so they couldn't testify about the attacks. Generals encouraged young Japanese soldiers to inflict as much pain as possible on their captives; victims were soaked in gasoline and then burned alive. Japan's secret biochemical warfare research center, Unit 731, killed 3,000 people with lethal human experimentation. Prisoners were subjected to vivisection without anesthetic, essentially being dissected while they were still alive. Others experiments saw people locked in pressure chambers until their eyes popped out, and others having their limbs frozen and then thawed out in red hot water.
4. The French Empire (1534 to 1980)
The French Empire caused the deaths of up to 10 million people throughout Africa, Europe,
the Americas, and Asia. One of the worst incidents occurred under the rule of Napoleon on the French colony of Haiti. Starving slaves were forced to collect sugar from the island, while wearing tin muzzles to stop them from eating the sugar cane. Those who disobeyed the French colonists were slowly roasted over fires as punishment, or filled with gunpowder and then blown to pieces. Another 100,000 slaves were massacred in the holds of ships with sulfur dioxide that was extracted from Haiti's volcanoes. Others were ripped apart by dogs in amphitheaters to terrify the slaves in revolt.
3. Belgian Empire (1885 – 1962)
King Leopold II of Belgium bought the Congo and enslaved its people, brutally exploiting the country for its rubber and ivory supplies. An estimated 10 million people died in just 50 years. Using a terrifying army called the 'Force Publique', Leopold made the villagers work to death to in order to make a profit. Those who failed to meet their resource collection quotas were shot, kidnapped, or had their limbs cut off. Colonists also systematically sexually assaulted Congolese women. It can even be argued that Belgium's colonial policies contributed to the Rwandan genocide in the 1990s. During their colonial rule there, Belgians classified the native Hutu group as racially inferior to their neighbors, the Tutsi. This caused huge ethnic tensions between the two communities, which tragically boiled over and led to the deaths of 800,000 Tutsi. They were massacred by the previously marginalized
Hutu.
2. The British Empire (1783 – 1997)
The British Empire caused as many as 150 million deaths across Asia, Africa, and Europe. British Imperialists hoarded rice and grain from India. They also dramatically increased harvest taxation, which caused widespread famines that killed a cumulative 29 million people. Without any support from the Empire, Indian civilians were forced to eat grass and human flesh to survive. Britain also resorted to the use of concentration camps to defeat South Africa's Boer population at the turn of the 20th century. 10% of the entire Boer population were killed in these camps, including 22,000 children, who were starved and beaten to death. One of their most ruthless conquests, however, came in the 1800s, when British colonists annihilated Tasmania's indigenous population. They forced aborigine wives to carry the heads of their dead husbands around their necks.
1. Nazi Germany (1933-1945)
The National Socialist party transformed Germany and much of Europe into a fascist totalitarian state, responsible for World War 2 and the extermination of 6 million Jews. To incarcerate their racial opponents, the Nazis created 20,000 concentration camps. By 1941, up to 6,000 prisoners a day were sent to gas chambers in Auschwitz, which were disguised as shower rooms. There, a highly toxic insecticide called Zyklon B was unleashed, asphyxiating the prisoners within minutes. Guards would then remove the dead prisoners' hair and gold fillings. The hair was used to make rope, and the gold was deposited in an SS bank account. German physicians also carried out deadly human experiments at the camps. Prisoners were submerged in icy waters for 5 hours until they froze to death, injected with tuberculosis and malaria, sterilized, and they also underwent nerve and limb transplants without anesthetic.

Dont get why British are 2nd? These English 'gentelmen' should grab the gold medal for their unimaginable cruelty caused by their greed and disrespect for humans lives. Im Polish and can tell you one thing: Former Empires should pay their debts by taking as much immigrants as they can. No excuses. Those nations suffered enough and now its time to remedy them
Lord yLordy on February 14, 2017:
The British Empire should be no.1 as they killed more people and the Nazi's killed not just 6M Jews but 5 million others as well that you forgot about. It also doesn't have any mention of the Indian Mutiny when they would strap people to the front of a cannon and fire it.
The British Empire can undoubtedly claim first place as the most evil in history.

Oh, so there you are, Florida State.
After a few weeks off after the tough and painful loss to Alabama, the Seminoles missed out on the desperately needed warm-up games and get thrown right into the ACC fire against a team that has to come up with a big, splashy win to get its season kickstarted.
NC State has gotten past the shocker to South Carolina – and it was a bit of a stunner – with wins over Marshall and Furman, but the team hasn't been quite as dominant as expected. Beat the Noles, and with home dates with Syracuse and Louisville to follow, and a battle at Pitt after that, there's a chance to go on a run with a big upset win in Tallahassee.
With a trip to face a nasty-looking Wake Forest up next, and then the shifted date with Miami, and and then a trip to deal with a now-unbeaten Duke, and then Louisville, with road games at Clemson and Florida left to go, FSU can't afford a slip.
One Reason Why NC State Will Win
It's not just that Florida State is starting its season over after getting so much time off, but those missed games didn't give new starting quarterback James Blackman a chance to get his feet wet.
Considering the NC State run defense has been a rock so far – allowing fewer than 270 total rushing yards so far – the great defensive front should load up on the FSU ground game and make the new guy win this.
The pass rush hasn't been up to expectations yet, but the Wolfpack defense forces turnovers and has only allowed one touchdown on the ground.
Blackman, this is going to be on you.
One Reason Why Florida State Will Win
NC State has been good, but it hasn't exactly been clicking in all phases.
As good as the defense has been, it's been a bit leaky on third downs, the special teams had a few breakdowns in the opener against South Carolina, and the passing game has yet to open anything up.
This has been a dink-and-dunk Wolfpack offense – that's not going to fly against the ultra-athletic FSU defense and elite secondary.
It's been lost over time, but the Seminoles still might be the second-best team in the country, or in the top five. The defense should be ready to make a big statement, and the Pack might not have the pop to do anything about it.
Blackman will be more than good enough.
The FSU ground game won't be great, and Blackman won't bomb away, but he'll be just efficient enough to keep the chains moving.
Both defenses will be good enough to keep the score down, but at home, the Seminoles will come up with the big stops needed in the second half.

In July 2015, Michelle X, a star of British TV documentary "37 Years on the Dole" was arrested by the British police for growing marijuana in her home. A month later, while still being on police bail, she grew new plants and posted a picture of them. It should be said that marijuana is classified as a class B drug in the UK, and a person possessing it may be sentenced up to five years in jail.
Miss X was put on trial for having a weed farm. The court's decision was very unexpected. The woman managed to avoid jail. She was given a conditional discharge and was ordered to pay legal costs in the amount of £200 instead of £2,800. Judge Ross from Oxford Crown Court said to the jury that it was s very unusual case, and it was the first time he had had to deal with something like that.
During the court hearing, Michelle X told the jury that in 1987 she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and after that became wheelchair-bound and lost her job. She had used prescription medicine for ten years, but they were cancer-inducing and had heavy side-effects. Once on TV, she saw Prince Charles talking to a man with MS. Prince asked that man if he had ever tried marijuana and said that he had heard of its medical benefits. After those words, Miss X decided to investigate cannabis plants. In 2014, she began growing weed to self-medicate for her illness.
Defending herself, Miss X said that thanks to her weed "medicine," she was able to stand before the jury in the court as her spasms had stopped.
Miss X stated that British drug laws were very unjust and had to be changed. She stressed that she was going to keep offending until it would happen. Michelle took part in medical trials and got the right to use marijuana-based medicine approved by the British governmental bodies. Nevertheless, she was not able to get the medicine in her county. Therefore, she started to use cannabis. Judge Ross came to the conclusion that it was the only other course open to Miss X.
The MS patient asked the court to imprison her as she had to face eviction from her home because of her marijuana farm and could not afford to purchase weed from street dealers.
Judge Ross said that neither he nor the jurors were authorized to change the law and gave Miss X a two-year conditional discharge.
We love cannabis. Whether it's growing it, rolling it, or talking about – we cannot get enough of the one and only, Mary Jane. It's time to step up our game. We've handpicked 15 highly rated readers for cannabis connoisseurs. From the history of cannabis to resources for budding entrepreneurs, here are the best cannabis books.

Way Out West 2013
Three days of music in Göteborg, Sweden and we are going! Since its inception the Way Out West festival stands out for their extra work to present artists who normally do not act at festivals or have not acted in a while. In 2007 Kanye West performed (keep in mind that in 2007, West wasn't quite the superstar that he is today), in 2010 Pavement and Wu-Tang Clan (all members), in 2011 Prince. The billboard of last year was amazing with Blur and no less than Kraftwerk's appearing.
This year the festival goes big and out of the boundaries of the Slottskogen park, the traditional and whimsical headquarters and there will be stages all over the city. Among others, the shows include Cat Power, Neil Young, Bat for Lashes, Grimes, Alicia Keys, Phosphorecense, Goat, The Knife… and not only music, but art, design and vj sessions are part of the combo. We just can't wait.

Jacob Galloway Harrison
c o n d u c t o r
After witnessing Beethoven's 9th Symphony live for the first time when he was twelve, Jacob Harrison knew he wanted to be a conductor. His initial efforts involved standing and waving his arms in front of a stereo system in the family living room using a chopstick from take-out Chinese food as a baton and a CD of Beethoven's 9th stolen from his parents collection.
Since that fateful night, Jacob has gone on to conduct orchestras across the country, leading performances of the great symphonies, concertos, overtures, choral masterworks, opera, and ballet. He is also an ally of living composers through constant inclusion of their works in his programming along with commissioning and premiering new works for orchestra.
Jacob serves as the director of orchestral activities and associate professor of conducting at Texas State University. At his previous institution, he received multiple awards for his teaching as the director of the orchestra program and professor of conducting at Iowa State University.
As an in-demand conductor and educator, Jacob maintains a busy schedule conducting professional orchestras, all-state and honor ensembles, and offering clinics around the country. Recent engagements include leading performances with the Arizona Ballet and The Phoenix Symphony, the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera, All-State Orchestras in Arizona, Iowa, and North Carolina, and clinics in Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Jacob and his wife and son make their home in Austin, Tx where the traffic is bad but the brisket and breakfast tacos are plentiful.


In his first encyclical, "Lumen Fidei" ("The Light of Faith"), Pope Francis tells us, "Faith, received from God as a supernatural gift, becomes a light for our way, guiding our journey through time" (no. 4). The powerful encyclical, begun by Pope Benedict XVI, examines the unique role of faith which is "capable of illuminating every aspect of human existence" (no. 4).
Thanks to your gift to the Bishop's Annual Appeal, our faith touches the lives of thousands of people in the four counties of the Diocese of Metuchen. It is your generous support that supplies basic material needs to those less fortunate and solace for those suffering in mind, body or spirit. Your gift impacts our families, especially the young, and also provides training for deacons and priests so our faith may endure for future generations.
As Pope Francis writes, "Faith is no refuge for the fainthearted, but something which enhances our lives" (no. 53). It is your courage and commitment that allows our diocesan ministries to flourish. Without your gifts of time, treasure and financial resouces, the light of faith in our diocese would not shine as brightly.
I invite you to put your faith into action once more by joining me in making a sacrificial gift to the Bishop's Annual Appeal. Together we can make a life-changing difference in the lives of so many.

Archived Sections, Lutherans in the Twin Cities
Changes afoot in Minneapolis synod office
Bob Hulteen / July 25, 2011
Rev. Kelly Chatman
Two weeks before the announcement that Bishop Craig Johnson would resign as bishop of the Minneapolis Area Synod of the ELCA to take an interim call at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church, Minneapolis, Bishop's Associate David Wangaard announced that he would take an interim assignment at First Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Wangaard's primary responsibilities were working with congregations in the north, central, and south conferences, meaning the urban congregations, and overseeing the candidacy committee for the synod.
The Rev. Kelly Chatman, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church (ELCA) in north Minneapolis, will take on some of these duties, it was recently announced. He will serve as a consultant to the synod, while maintaining his fulltime load at Redeemer.
"This is an opportunity to take general activities that I already participate in and make them more officially part of my responsibility," Chatman told Metro Lutheran.
As a pastor of a church in north Minneapolis, he feels like he already is in relationships with many of the clergy and lay leaders there, he said. And Redeemer is already working directly in relationship with Jordan New Life, another northside congregation.
"And I already have a significant connection to Seminary in the Streets; I've been involved since its inception," Chatman explained. "I'm glad now to have a more official role."
In addition, Chatman will be asked to work with congregations on mission strategies.

API Women Make History on South San Francisco City Council
by Kamala • December 3, 2017
South San Francisco, CA December 3, 2017 by David Burruto
Women API Councilmembers to Lead City as Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem for First Time in City's History
South San Francisco – For the first time in the City of South San Francisco's 110-year history, two women will lead the City as Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem.
On Dec. 5, 2017, it is anticipated that current Vice Mayor Liza Normandy and veteran Councilmember Karyl Matsumoto will ascend to the positions of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem respectively.
Liza Normandy is the newest member of the City Council having been first elected in November 2013. She previously served on the South San Francisco Unified School District Board of Trustees, serving as Board President from 2008-2010. She was the first Asian-American elected to the School Board and is only the second Asian-American elected to the City Council after Matsumoto, and only the third woman to serve on the South San Francisco City Council.
Karyl Matsumoto was the second woman ever elected to the South San Francisco City Council and the first Asian-American. Matsumoto was first elected to the City Council in November 1997 and re-elected in November 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2013. She has served as Mayor previously in 2000, 2004, 2009 and in 2014.
The ascension of both Normandy and Matsumoto into the positions of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem will represent the first time two women have served in both positions simultaneously in the City's history and also marks the first time two API women will occupy those two positions at the same time. Normandy is of both Chinese and Korean descent and Matsumoto is of Japanese descent.
"Foremost, I am looking forward to the opportunity to represent my community as Mayor for the next year," said Normandy. "I am equally honored to help make a bit of history with my colleague, friend and mentor Karyl Matsumoto."
"As both the second woman and first API woman to serve on the South San Francisco City Council I am gratified and exhilarated at the prospect of having the face of our community fully represented by two API women for the first time in over a century," said Matsumoto. "It is my hope that this event will help mark a turning point in our city's history that will firmly establish that women can, do and should lead."
The reorganization of the South San Francisco City Council will be held Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2017 from 7pm-9pm at the Municipal Services Building located at 33 Arroyo Drive in South San Francisco.

Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art from the Kaplan & Levi Collection presents a selection of outstanding contemporary art by Indigenous Australian and Torres Strait Islander artists. Since the 1960s, artists from these communities have spearheaded a renaissance in the world's oldest continuous artistic tradition, innovating within the idioms of visual languages that have developed over the course of millennia. While these dazzling paintings and beguiling sculptures often share formal characteristics with Western modern art, they represent conscientious efforts on the part of Aboriginal artists to share their culture with outsiders. Ancestral Modern will offer an opportunity for many Museum visitors to experience this extraordinary work for the first time. It includes innovators like Rover Thomas and Emily Kam Kngwarreye, who adapted materials and motifs traditionally used in ground painting, body painting, or the preparation of ritual objects in their works on canvas. Organized by the American Federation of Arts.


Flights to Roatan are some the most expensive of any Caribbean destination... here's why….
Located in the western Caribbean, Roatan is just 700 miles from the US mainland. It is a 1 hour 50 minute flight from Miami, and just over 2 hours from Houston and Atlanta. Roughly the same distance from New York to Chicago.
So why is this flight so expensive? There is a rumor on island that an airline executive answered that question with a very blunt "because we can." But we at RoatanInfo.com decided to investigate the possible reasons for these outrageous airfares.
Maimi to Roatan Island direct flight with American Airlines is just 1 hours and 50 minutes in duration. A recent price check shows the flight at $945 USD. For a comparison American Airlines offers tickets from Miami to Rio de Janero Direct, an 8.5 hour flight from $932 USD.
So why the high price for the Roatan flight? We believe it is because Rio de Janero doesn't have the crystal blue water of Roatan's stunning lagoons. The Caribbean clear waters surround the green island and are surrounded by beautiful coral reefs.
Denver to Roatan Island direct by United Airlines is $937 USD for 5.75 hours with one connection in Houston. A Denver flight to Vancouver, BC a 7 hour flight comes in at just over $460 USD. So why the high price for the Roatan Flight? It may be because the rugged hillsides of Roatan are covered in lush vegetation, stunning ocean views and riddled with exciting zip lines, and nature parks. Roatan's lush hillsides meet with the beautiful Caribbean Sea with white sand beaches, and amazing ironshore.
Delta Airlines will fly you to Roatan direct from Atlanta, with a flight time of 3 hours and 25 minutes for the small sum of $935. (American will do it with 1 stop for $950). Delta will fly you to Hawaii for $823 USD more than $100 less, but roughly 9 hours of additional flight time. If you enjoy roughly 4 meals of airline food, and 9 hours in economy class seating, then maybe Hawaii is for you, otherwise the calm tranquil waters around Roatan feature some of the best diving in the world, and some of the most convenient. Situated on the Meso-American barrier reef system, the second largest in the world. Roatan's coral reefs gardens are typically just 100 feet off shore. No long boat rides, no riptides or crashing waves. The Bay Islands feature some of the finest, and most convenient diving in the whole world. Trade your surfboard for some snorkel gear.
Now while writing this article, United Airlines dropped their prices to favorable levels just $504 from United direct. We hope that American and Delta take notice, because we are nominating United Airlines as the Roatan's only common-sense airline…. For now.
Roatan Island is one of the most unique destinations in the Caribbean and well worth any airfare, but we don't want you to waste your hard earned money, so make sure you read our travel tips at Roatan Info on getting to Roatan on the cheap.
Also remember to Download the Roatan App on Google and Apple App Stores. It's completely free and a great source of up-to-date information.
Happy travels, and see you on the beach!

This may or may not be a thread for the general section, but I'll put it in here for now, the computers I'm using to host my class have accounts stored on the network, and this is causing berrybots to read an incorrect location for the stage and bot storage folder, do you think you could implement a browse form to look for the ship/bot folder? I would try and implement this myself, but as far as gui in C++ goes I'm clueless.
Is this on Windows? I think I could add that pretty easily. On Mac and Linux, this functionality exists - BerryBots is a properly packaged app and you select / can change the base directory, which is set in a config file in your home directory. On Windows, I've been putting off making a proper installer, so it's just an .exe that looks for bots and stages relative to itself. I think I could add this feature without going as far as adding a full installer - just storing the config file relative to the .exe that points to the user-configurable base dir with bots and stages.
Is BerryBots being run from the account on the network? Or it's running locally and you want to store bots/stages on the network? I'm curious if what I'm proposing would solve your problem - if looking for a config file relative to the .exe will have the same problem as looking for the bots/stages is now. When you say reading from an incorrect location, what exactly is happening there?
PS - As for GUIs in C++, BerryBots uses wxWidgets for everything besides the main game graphics, which is a cross-platform GUI library. It's pretty awesome!
They're both on the local computer but the account is on the network, so it returns the network address when looking for the bot when it should be looking at the local address.

This article presents an overview of graphical dependency diagrams generated from most commonly used SQL Server sample databases shown in different layouts and styles, using the dependency rendering capabilities ApexSQL Analyze.
The grandfather of all sample databases, Pubs was the first sample database created for SQL Server. Sybase was the original creator of Pubs but later, this database came to Microsoft in the early 90's. Although Pubs served its purpose over the years, it was gradually replaced by its successors.
In the pictures below, the Pubs database can be seen in Organic and Orthogonal styles created using ApexSQL Analyze.
The Northwind database came as a successor to Pubs. Originally created by a MS Access team using a T-SQL script created from their own database.. Later, SQL Server 2000 was released containing a Northwind database script along with Pubs.
Over the years Northwind was also replaced by more advanced sample database. After the release of SQL Server 2005, a project team was formed with an idea to build the next sample database – AdventureWorks. AdventureWorks quickly replaced his predecessors as more complex and comprehensive example of the features and capability of SQL Server. This project later formed a family of sample databases that is still developed today with the most recent AdventureWorks DW 2017.
ApexSQL Analyze can be used to create and view graphical dependency diagrams from any other database on SQL Server. For more information, visit the ApexSQL Analyze product page.

Граф циклов группы иллюстрирует различные циклы в группе и, в частности, используется для визуализации структуры малых конечных групп.

Цикл — это множество степеней элемента a группы, где an, n-ая степень элемента a, определяется как произведение a на себя n раз. Говорят, что элемент a генерирует цикл.  В конечной группе некоторая ненулевая степень элемента a должна быть равна нейтральному (единичному) элементу e . Наименьшая такая степень называется порядком цикла и она равна числу различных элементов в цикле. В графе циклов цикл представляется многоугольником, в котором вершины отражают элементы группы, а соединяющие вершины рёбра указывают, что вершины многоугольника являются членами одного цикла.

Циклы
Циклы могут накладываться или не иметь общих элементов, кроме единичного. Граф циклов показывает каждый цикл в виде многоугольника.

Если a генерирует цикл порядка 6 (или, более коротко, имеет порядок 6), то a6 = e. В этом случае степени квадрата элемента a2, {a2, a4, e} образуют цикл, но в реальности этот факт не даёт никакой дополнительной информации. Аналогично, a5 генерирует тот же самый цикл, что и сам a.

Таким образом, нужно рассматривать только простые циклы, а именно те, которые не являются подмножествами других циклов. Каждый из этих циклов генерируется некоторым простым элементом a.  Возьмём одну вершину для каждого элемента исходной группы. Для каждого простого элемента соединим ребром e с a, a с a2, ..., an−1 с  an, и т.д., пока не получим опять e. Результатом будет граф циклов.

Если a2 = e, a имеет порядок 2 (является инволюцией) и соединено с единичным элементом e двумя рёбрами. Кроме случаев, когда хотят подчеркнуть два ребра цикла, обычно рисуется только одно ребро.

Свойства

В качестве примера графа циклов группы рассмотрим диэдральную группу Dih4. Таблица умножения этой группы показана ниже, а граф циклов показан на рисунке справа (e показывает единичный элемент).

Обратим внимание на цикл e, a, a2, a3. Его можно видеть в таблице как последовательные степени a. Обратный проход тоже подходит. Другими словами, (,  и . Это поведение остаётся верным в любом цикле любой группы — цикл можно проходить в любом направлении.

Циклы, содержащие непростые значения элементов, неявно содержат циклы, не показанные в графе. Для группы  Dih4 выше мы можем нарисовать ребро между a2 и e, поскольку , но a2 является частью большего цикла, так что ребро не проведено.

Может существовать неопределённость, если два цикла содержат элемент, не являющийся единичным элементом. Рассмотрим, например, группу кватернионов, граф циклов которой показан справа. Каждый элемент в среднем ряду, умноженный на себя, даёт −1. В этом случае мы можем использовать различные цвета для отражения циклов, хотя просто соглашение о симметрии будет работать так же хорошо.

Как упоминалось ранее, два ребра цикла из двух элементов обычно изображаются единственным ребром.

Обратный элемент можно найти в графе циклов следующим образом: это элемент, находящийся на том же расстоянии от единицы, но в обратном направлении.

История
Графы циклов рассматривал специалист по теории чисел Дэниел Шенкс в начале 1950-х как средство изучения мультипликативных групп колец вычетов. Шенкс первым опубликовал идею в первом издании (1962) его книги «Solved and Unsolved Problems in Number Theory» («Решённые и нерешённые проблемы теории чисел»). В книге Шенкс исследует, какие группы имеют изоморфные графы циклов и когда граф циклов планарен. Во втором издании (1978) Шенкс рассуждает о своих исследованиях групп классов идеалов и разработке алгоритма больших и малых шагов:

Графы циклов используются в качестве учебного средства во вводном учебнике Натана Картера (Nathan Carter, 2009) «Visual Group Theory» («Наглядная теория групп»).

Графы циклов некоторых семейств групп

Некоторые виды групп имеют типичные графы:

Циклические группы Zn порядка n имеют единственный цикл, который можно нарисовать как многоугольник с n сторонами:

Если n является простым числом, группы вида (Zn)m имеют  циклов длины n с общим единичным элементом:

Диэдральные группы Dihn имеют порядок 2n и состоят из цикла длины n и n 2-элементных циклов:

Дициклические группы, Dicn = Q4n имеют порядок 4n:

Другие прямые произведения:

Симметрическая группа Sn для любой группы порядка n содержит подгруппу, изоморфную этой группе, так что граф циклов любой группы порядка n можно найти в качестве подграфа графа циклов Sn.
Смотрите пример: Подгруппы группы S4.

Пример: Подгруппы полной октаэдральной группы

 является прямым произведением симметрической группы S4 и циклической группы Z2.
Группа имеет порядок 48 и содержит подгруппы любого порядка, делящего 48.

В примерах ниже вершины, связанные друг с другом, расположены рядом,
Так что представленные графы циклов не являются наиболее простыми графами этих групп (сравните с графами циклов тех же групп в начале раздела).

Подобно всем другим графам графы циклов можно представить различными способами, чтобы подчеркнуть различные свойства. Два представления графа циклов группы S4 являются примером этого.
