Criticisms from fans of ,Aaliyah have been going back and forth about the biopic centred on the late singer.Among the people who think the project is a shoddy effort and a poor misrepresentation of the singer is acclaimed music producer,Timbaland who thinks the makers of the biopic deserve to be criticized for the Aaliyah biopic that premiered Saturday.
The producer went on social media telling people not to go and see the movie, "Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B"... using hilarious memes. Timbaland had no problem gloating to fans who watched the movie anyway, taunting them and the network with a funny video post.

This paper describes the development process of voting behavior in Chile; particularly the relationship between the class voting theory and the theory of cultural post-materialist vote is investigated. This research deals with Chile as a case study, a developing country with a relatively stable democracy since 1990 and although it has been mentioned in various investigations, has not been given the depth and perspective necessary to understand the political scene in which their electoral processes are developed. We seek to test the relationship between the socioeconomic status of voters, their post-materialist values and the results of the elections in which they participate.


Our world, our entire civilization, was made for beings with two hands. Take a simple buttonhole, for example; in order to pass a button through a buttonhole, one needs the use of two hands. Imagine now the depth of the problems I had to overcome having been born without those two hands.
However, my will and desire were mighty. As my power of creation grew, so, also, did my self-confidence. This, in turn, helped facilitate the focus on my creativity, rather than on my physical particularity, and to reconcile with this.
A stage of catalytic importance in my life was my contact, in 1967, with the International Union of Disabled Artists, aka, V.D.M.F.K., which is based in Liechtenstein. This international organization, gathers, using distinguishable criteria, works by disabled artists. It then organizes international shows in which these works are not only displayed, but also used for postcards, posters and calendars. The monies collected from these activities are then given back to the creators of the works as remuneration for their creations, thus ensuring them a decent livelihood and allowing them to pursue their creativity. In 1970, I became a member of the Union and, in time, a regular participant. The sense of needing to reciprocate, both in terms of quality and quantity, to the expectations of an organization that appeals to art lovers around the world, expounded my desire for a creative and artistic uplifting.
I now paint at a superhuman pace and with unending passion to continuously promote my expressive methods. I wanted my patterns and combination of colors to not cause confusion to the people who would view my works, rather, fill them with feelings of sweet nostalgia. I wanted my works to appeal to people around the world, if that is possible.
I continue to hold these beliefs to this day, which is why I set up this webpage. I would like, through this site, to convey the sensations that people have experienced in the exhibits in Greece and abroad, in which I have participated.

Even if there was (why would he be there in the first place), there were more than just Eagles hits through the evening – a cover of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Pride and Joy found it's way into the beginning of the set. With such a large arsenal of songs, Felder would definitely need help with vocals, and found it with bass player, and former Chicago vocalist, Jeff Coffey. Jeff's rich vocals help fill out the sound (with additional backing vocals from David Myhre. A rich, fuller sound is produced, making this much more than a singer playing the hits from his former band.
While Felder's vocals themselves may not have been the strongest, his guitar playing has not diminished over the years at all, and looked incredibly happy, and healthy onstage. Spending much of the night pacing about, and posing for all would-be-picture-snappers in the crowd. Much of his music was introduced with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, or jokes about which substances may have had some influence on the music (Cherry Coke, I assure you…), it was clear he sill had much reverence for the music, his fans, and band members. A tender moment was when he dedicated Tequila Sunrise to the sorely missed Glenn Frey.
I've never gotten to see the classic Eagles line-up live (or even the currently touring line-up), so I'm painfully aware of what I've missed, but Don Felder, is able to create an inescapable hold on the audience, from the opening chords of Already Gone, until his signature double-neck comes out at the end. Love the Eagles, or hate them like the Dude, there's no getting away from their music. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

Q: Text stroke line css i wanted to ask how will i make my text like the one in the image? Can someone help me? Thank you. This is the code i did so far. but it doesnt look like same
This is my code:

 <!DOCTYPE html>

        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
        <link
          href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
          rel="stylesheet"
        />
        <link
          href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Baloo"
          rel="stylesheet"
        />

Testing

A: You're not going to get exactly the same as that image using the same font, because that reference looks to have the lines outside the text shape, rather than making the outline itself wider.
Basically, a font is just a vector shape. If you make the outline visible as you have, you can see what the shape is. What you can't do in CSS is to change that shape (e.g. make it "fatter" as in your reference image). Because the "outline" reference you're chasing has the lines outside the actual letter, you can't do what you want.
There are a couple of options, though. The first is to try different font weights (e.g. bold, black, exra-bold, whatever's available). These will have fatter characters, so the outline may produce a result closer to what you want (whether you use -webkit-text-stroke as in your original code or some variant on text-shadow as in the other answer).
The second is to use an SVG (or even PNG) image instead of real text. However, if you're using this for actual content on your page, you'll need to make sure you've properly provided accessible information (alt attributes for images) so that people using screen readers can still use your website.

A: You can stack as many text-shadow elements as you like in a CSS rule. Although you'll never get perfect results with fonts that have sharp external angles, you can get near-perfect results with rounded sans-serif fonts like the one you're using:

h2 {
  color: white;
  font-size: 6em;
  margin: 0;
  font-family: "Baloo";
  text-shadow: 0.000em 0.075em #608b31, 0.029em 0.069em #608b31, 0.053em 0.053em #608b31, 0.069em 0.029em #608b31, 0.075em 0.000em #608b31, 0.069em -0.029em #608b31, 0.053em -0.053em #608b31, 0.029em -0.069em #608b31, 0.000em -0.075em #608b31, -0.029em -0.069em #608b31, -0.053em -0.053em #608b31, -0.069em -0.029em #608b31, -0.075em -0.000em #608b31, -0.069em 0.029em #608b31, -0.053em 0.053em #608b31, -0.029em 0.069em #608b31;
}
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Baloo" rel="stylesheet">

Testing

The only problem you might have is that the text needs to be filled with a solid white colour. If you really need the text to be transparent inside the outline, then you'll have to use another method such as an SVG, as others have suggested.
I wrote a Python function to generate the shadow positions:
def css_outline(num_points, radius, units, colour):
    from math import cos, sin, pi
    shadows = []
    for i in range(num_points):
        t = i * 2 * pi / num_points
        x = sin(t) * radius
        y = cos(t) * radius
        shadows.append("%.3f%s %.3f%s %s" % (x, units, y, units, colour))
    return (', '.join(shadows))

The CSS in the above example was generated by calling css_outline(16, 0.075, 'em', '#608b31')

A: try to do it with text-shadow...
here i'm adding 1px blue stroke
text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 blue, 1px -1px 0 blue, -1px 1px 0 blue, 1px 1px 0 blue;

Disney has pushed back the release of its blockbuster remake Mulan, as the film industry struggles to adjust to the Covid-19 outbreak.
The film had been set to arrive in UK cinemas on 27 March and its stars gathered in London on Thursday evening for a scaled back European premiere. A hand sanitation station was set up outside of the event for guests to use before entering the cinema,
However, shortly after the cast posed for pictures on the red carpet, Disney announced the film – a remake of the 1998 animated classic – had been delayed.
X-Men spin-off The New Mutants and Scott Cooper's horror film Antlers were also pushed back, and Disney said it was aiming for a 2020 release date for all three films.

Mulan's director, Niki Caro, addressed the delay on Instagram.
She said: "We are so excited to share this film with the world, but given the current ever-shifting circumstances we are all experiencing, unfortunately, we have to postpone the worldwide release of Mulan for now.
A post shared by @nikicaro on Mar 12, 2020 at 3:26pm PDT
"Our hearts are with everyone the world over who is affected by this virus, and we hope that Mulan's fighting spirit will continue to inspire those who are working so hard to keep us all safe.
"Thank you for all of your enthusiasm and support, and I can't wait for the day where we will all get to experience this tale of a girl warrior who became a legend together."

Mulan's postponement is far from the first high-profile cinematic casualty of coronavirus.
James Bond film No Time To Die, one of the year's biggest releases, has been pushed back from April to November while A Quiet Place Part II and Fast & Furious 9 have also been delayed.

One goal of the FLOE project is to create a multimodal palette for expressing information to FLOE authoring supports. One aspect of this goal is the creation of charts and graphs sonification authoring tools. These tools will allow authors to include audio information along with the usual visual information of charts and graphs. These charts can then be embedded into educational materials or other materials, allowing the consumption of the information in multiple modes. This work also contributes to the FLOE project goal of developing innovative approaches to addressing currently unsolved accessibility challenges associated with richer learning experiences and new forms of OER. The addition of sonification to charts and graphs will provide for a richer learning experience for a broad range of learners.
With our sonfication work we wish to address the presentation of many different types of charts and graphs. To begin, we decided to focus on the pie chart as a way to get started in creating and demonstrating an accessible and practical tool for authoring.

Религиозные конфессии и разные их течения предписывают собственные правила питания, включающие ограничения на употребление тех или иных пищевых продуктов и напитков.

Христианство

В христианстве употребление идоложертвенного категорически возбраняется, а нарушение этого запрета влечет за собой суровые канонические наказания. Например, правила Поместного Анкирского Собора (4-9) накладывают на христиан, употреблявших в пищу идоложертвенное, наказание в форме отлучения от церковного общения сроком от одного года до семи лет, в зависимости от тяжести их вины и многократности преступления.

Во время поста (т. н. телесного поста), в зависимости от его степени строгости, воспрещается употребление: мяса и молочных продуктов, рыбы (в определенные дни), яиц.
В христианстве запрещены к употреблению в пищу кровь животных; мертвечина, удавленина и звероядина.

Свидетели Иеговы
Считается неприемлемым принятие внутрь пищу и медикаменты, содержащие компоненты крови.
После Потопа Иегова разрешил Ною и его сыновьям есть мясо животных, но строго запретил им есть кровь (Бт 9:1, 3, 4). Это повеление Бога касалось не только Ноя и его домашних, но и всех будущих поколений людей, поскольку все они — потомки членов семьи Ноя.

Ислам

В Коране еда упоминается как доказательство совершенства Божьего творения

В Коране есть явный запрет на свинину,
кровь,
мясо животных, которые умерли своей смертью (мертвечину),
мясо животных, которые были забиты не с именем Бога.

В исламе халяльные птицы должны быть покрыты перьями и не должны быть хищными (это следует из запрета к употреблению неводных хищников). Запрещается употреблять в пищу мясо, отрезанное от живого животного.

У шиитов запреты такие же, как и в иудаизме, за исключением того, что шиитам разрешается употреблять в пищу креветок.  Любая рыба без чешуи шиитам запрещена к употреблению.

По мнению Исламского Совета Юриспруденции, продукты, полученные из ГМ-семян, халяльны.

Вину посвящена антология «Категории сравнений о заре радости» багдадского халифа и выдающегося арабского поэта IX—X веков Ибн аль-Мутазза

Иудаизм

В иудаизме пригодность той или иной пищи к приёму (кошерность) определяется системой ритуальных правил, определяющих соответствие чего-либо требованиям Галахи, еврейского Закона. В основе законов кашрута лежат заповеди Торы, а также дополнительные правила, установленные еврейскими религиозными авторитетами. Запрещено употреблять в пищу: свинину, конину и ослятину, верблюжатину, зайчатину и крольчатину, слонину и некоторые другие разновидности мяса. Запретны для иудеев практически все морепродукты, кроме рыбы, имеющей чешую и плавники (соответственно, запрещено употребление, напр., осетрины, зеркального карпа, сома и т.п., равно как и миног, любых моллюсков и ракообразных).

Законы иудаизма запрещают употреблять в пищу мясо, отрезанное от живого животного, однако этот запрет касается лишь наземных животных и птиц, а рыбу (которую не требуется забивать, соблюдая обряд) в принципе можно есть живой. Очень строго соблюдается запрет на смешение либо взаимодействие при готовке и употреблении мяса (включая птицу) и молока и их производных.

Мёд считается кошерной пищей, хотя пчёлы таковыми не признаются (это яркий пример того, что продукт нечистого животного признается чистым и годным к употреблению; в Талмуде объяснение этому такое: создают мёд цветы, а пчёлы являются лишь хранилищем для него).

В соответствии с заключением иудаистского Ортодоксального Союза, генетические модификации не влияют на кошерность продукта.

Индуизм
Из уважения к другим живым существам, многие индуисты придерживаются вегетарианской диеты. Вегетарианство является одним из важных аспектов индуизма — оно рассматривается как одно из средств достижения саттвического (чистого, благостного) образа жизни.

Наиболее ортодоксальные индуисты также не употребляют в пищу лук и чеснок, которые рассматриваются как продукты, относящиеся к низшим качествам или гунам материальной природы — раджасу и тамасу.

В 17-й главе «Бхагавад-гиты» говорится, что пищу можно подразделить на три категории, в зависимости от гун природы:

Буддизм

Даосизм

Большинство даосских школ придерживается мнения о значительной важности питания для физического, умственного и духовного здоровья.
Часто последователям учения предписывается вегетарианство, некоторые направления разрешают употребление вина и мяса, за исключением определенных дней поста.
Существуют практики поста или голодания бигу (буквально «исключающих злаки»), основанных на веровании в то, что таким образом можно достичь бессмертия.

South Side Business Showing Support for President Obama
By Wendell Hutson |&nbspOctober 22, 2012 10:57am
@DNAHutson
Josephine's Cooking restaurant at 436 E. 79th St. will host a breakfast fundraiser for President Barack Obama on Saturday, Oct. 27, from 7 a.m. to noon.
DNAinfo/Wendell Hutson
CHATHAM — For the second time in two months, a Chatham business is showing its support for President Barack Obama.
Josephine's Cooking, at 436 E. 79th St., will host a breakfast fundraiser from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 27.
The restaurant was formerly called Captain Hardtimes and is owned by Josephine Wade, who is a longtime Obama supporter.
"Ms. Wade is a big supporter of the president and wants to do what she can to help him get re-elected," said Harriette Dawson, a spokeswoman for the American Dream Team. "Through our neighborhood organization we want to encourage people to get out and vote and learn more about the importance of voting."
With no fundraising goal set for the event, Dawson said those who plan to attend the event can "give what they can afford" to the president's campaign.
"A lot of seniors are not tech-savvy, so we expect many of the participants next week will be from an older crowd," she said. "But the event is not just for seniors but for everyone."
WVON radio (1690 AM) personality Cliff Kelly will moderate the event, and Robert Starks, a retired political science professor from Northeastern Illinois University, will be the keynote speaker. Representatives from the Obama for America campaign also will be in attendance.
Another Chatham business owner showed her support for the president when it hosted a free viewing party for the Sept. 27 presidential debate at the ICE Chatham 14 theater at 210 E. 87th St. Alisia Starks, founder and president of Inner City Entertainment, which owns the theater, was happy to support Obama's campaign.
"The president deserves a second term, and I plan to do whatever I can to help make that happen," Starks said.

This paper investigates convergence of eleven regional incomes in Korea by employing a panel unit root test method proposed by Levin and Lin (1993). To test the robustness of the result, we rely on the method developed by Im, Pesaran, and Shin (1996) as well. Applying individual unit root test to income series of each region, we obtained mixed results such that only three out of eleven regional incomes converge. Panel unit root tests, however, reject the null hypothesis that all the Korean regional incomes do not converge. This empirical finding implies that, in a rapidly growing economy such as Korea, at least some regional incomes have tendency to converge to its own equilibrium level. This result is consistent with the prediction of neoclassical growth theory.

Ministers Department of Health and Aged Care
The Hon Mark Butler MP
Minister Butler's media
TV interview with Minister Butler and Sarah Harris, Hamish McDonald on The Project - Channel 10 - 7 July 2022
Read the transcript of the interview with Minister Butler and Sarah Harris, Hamish McDonald - The Project, Channel 10 on New advice for fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines; vaccine rollout and campaigns; next generation vaccines.
Minister for Health and Aged Care
Media event date:
SARAH HARRIS:
It is confirmed and ATAGI has recommended Australians 50 and over get a fourth COVID jab. The extra booster will also be offered to anyone aged between 30 and 49 from Monday. The decision comes as COVID continues to put the health system under strain. Nearly 4000 beds across the country are currently filled with COVID patients.
HAMISH MCDONALD:
Joining us now is Health Minister Mark Butler who confirmed the recommendation today. Minister, what's led to this decision to open up the boosters to people over 30?
MARK BUTLER, MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND AGED CARE:
We're finding out more about these boosters and antiviral treatments as this pandemic goes on, but what we're particularly committed to doing is to really pull out all stops to get us through this winter as safely and as healthily as we possibly can. It's why we extended funding to the states for their hospital systems with COVID. It's why we've rolled out an information campaign to encourage people to get their boosters and why today we've expanded eligibility for the fourth dose which will bring down severe disease and relieve pressure on our hospitals.
EM RUSCIANO:
The health advice up until now is that there's not enough data that supports giving a fourth dose to younger people. Has that changed?
BUTLER :
Well it certainly has for younger people 50 and over which I'm happy to call myself and that's why the big change today I think was to recommend a fourth dose for anyone 50 or over. We really want to see that roll out as soon as possible, it does very much bring down the risk of severe disease. In terms of 30 to 49 year olds though, the evidence still is a little less clear and that's why the technical advisory group didn't make a firm recommendation for that age group. But certainly said if you want that boost in your immunity you should feel free to choose that and go out and get dose number four.
ROWDIE WALDEN:
I mean throughout this whole pandemic young people have been really leading the charge with vaccines. We've been rolling up our sleeves. I mean my friends and I have even been talking about booking our boosters and brunch now that this, you know, it's opened up for us. But why is there been so much hesitancy with the fourth dose for people over 65?
BUTLER:
Well it is still relatively new, only three months for dose number four for over 65 . But I have said I'm concerned that 40 per cent of that age group still haven't gone out and got their fourth dose, I really encourage them to do that. But also across the broader population, there are still more than 5 million Australians who have been eligible for their third dose, that first booster shot, for more than six months but haven't got it and I really want to urge people to get out and get that additional shot.
MCDONALD:
Mark, you were really critical of the former government particularly when it came to vaccine rollout and you were promising a lot in terms of making sure we got to the right targets on third doses. You're now announcing these fourth doses. I know you've only been in a short time but what are you actually doing to make this a reality? I'm not really seeing big momentum here to get everyone up to where they need to be.
We've rolled out an information campaign only over the last several days as soon as I was appointed the Health Minister I started to roll that out. I've also asked my department put in place an information campaign to improve awareness of the antiviral treatments that are now available on the PBS—incredibly effective at bringing down that risk of severe disease as well. I've re-doubled.
[interrupts] Can I just check though, is that the 11 million winter vax campaign is that what you're talking about?
Yes, that's right. That's right. The builds on campaigns that state governments have also been putting in place.
Is that really enough? I mean, that pales in comparison to the big public push we had early on don't we actually need a far bigger commitment than that if we're serious?
Look that's not going to be the end of it. But what I said when I came in was that we needed to act very, very quickly. Winter was upon us, not only were we starting to see the early stages of this third Omicron wave that's really hitting our hospitals pretty hard right now. But on top of that, all of this was compounded by flu. We couldn't spend long periods of time coming up with developed campaigns. We needed to roll out something very quickly and we got that out in a matter of days.
RUSCIANO:
Are we likely to see fifth, sixth, seventh jabs Health Minister Ted Lasso?
I have to say I don't think any of us know that for sure. But I don't think this virus is disappearing anytime soon. It is continuing to mutate. There are some really exciting developments happening across the world with new generation vaccines, which I think will be even more effective than the ones we're currently rolling out right now. There's even just a variant vaccine that Pfizer and Moderna have both developed to deal with Omicron in particular. We've certainly moved to a separate phase of the pandemic move beyond the high level emergency that we all had to live through for the first couple of years. But this is by no means behind us yet.
Minister. I'm not the first person to say you look exactly like Ted Lasso, right?
I've been called much worse than that, I'm a big fan.
Well, he's very popular that show's very popular. So maybe you could do some kind of cross promo with the next jab. It's all I'm saying.
That's a great suggestion. I'm not sure Ted Lasso would approve though.
Minister thanks for your time tonight.

A cheetah is an example of an endangered animal
An endangered species is a species (a population) of animals, plants or other organisms that is in danger of becoming extinct. This could happen because there are few of that animal left, its predators have grown in number, or the climate that it lives in is changing, or the places it lives in have been destroyed. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) has worked out that endangered species are 40% of all organisms.[1]
Further information: IUCN Red List
by IUCN Red List category
Extinct (EX)
Extinct in the Wild (EW)
Critically Endangered (CR)
Endangered (EN)
Vulnerable (VU)

Comparison of Red list classes above
and NatureServe status below
Many countries have laws to protect these plants and animals. These laws, if obeyed, can save species by stopping hunting, land development or making parks and reserves. Poaching and other illegal activities, however, can still destroy them.
Only a few plants and animals at risk of extinction, mostly vertebrates, are put on the lists and get legal protection. Many more species become extinct, or will become extinct, without people knowing about it.

NEW DELHI: As many as six companies including state-run Power Grid (PGCIL), Sterlite and Adani have qualified on technical grounds for submitting financial bids for Vemagiri II power transmission project worth around Rs 6,300 crore.
Besides, PGCIL, Sterlite Grid, Adani, Kalpataru and Essel Infra Projects have qualified on technical ground to submit financial bids for Alipurduar power transmission project estimated at around Rs 1,800 crore.
"The financial bids for the two projects will be submitted by tomorrow and they will be opened on October 16. The cumulative worth of these two projects would be highest on offer after the government decided to auction transmission projects worth Rs one lakh crore during this fiscal," a source said.
REC Transmission Projects Co Ltd (RECTPL) is conducting the auction these two transmission project. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of state-run Rural Electrification Corporation Ltd.
The source said that PGCIL, Sterlite Grid, Adani, Inabensa Bharat, Kalpataru Power Transmission, Consortium of Megha Engineering & Gayatri Projects have qualified for Vemagiri II project.
The Vemagiri II project will strengthen transmission system beyond Vemagiri and will be called Vemagiri II Transmission Ltd. It will traverse through Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Similarly, the Alipurduar project will strengthen transmission system in India for Transfer of Power from new hydro electric projects in Bhutan. It will traverse through Bihar and West Bengal.
"The participation of private developers will give right signals for increasing investments in the sector. They are discouraged due to allocation of green corridor projects to PGCIL," an executive of a private company said.
Private developers were hoping to bid for green corridors to provide power evacuation infrastructure to solar parks in different states.
The executive said, "Stakeholders feel that India is missing an opportunity to attract private and foreign investment by avoiding competitive bids for Green Corridor that is needed to be executed in tandem with solar projects."
Various government panels and authorities have been backing move to rope in private developers.
Power sector regulator CERC has stated its Tariff Adoption orders that tariffs discovered through competitive bidding are 30-45 per cent lower than cost-plus route.


eLife editors trial a new approach to including more early-stage researchers in peer review for papers in the fields of Genomics and Evolutionary Biology.
Five members of the eLife Board of Reviewing Editors for Genomics and Evolutionary Biology have pledged to involve an early-career reviewer on each manuscript they handle for a year.
In 2016 eLife introduced an early-career reviewer pool to provide increased opportunities for researchers in the earlier stages of their careers to get involved with peer review. After the first 18 months of this programme, and following feedback from our editorial board and Early-Career Advisory Group, this spring we invited more researchers to join eLife's early-career reviewer pool.
This invitation received an overwhelmingly positive response, with approximately 450 self-nominations submitted for new early-career reviewers at eLife.
Now, a group of editors in Genomics and Evolutionary Biology have launched a trial in which they endeavour to include an early-career researcher in the review of every paper they handle for the next twelve months.
From left to right; George Perry, Pennsylvania State University (USA), Chris Ponting, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom, Molly Przeworski, Columbia University (USA), Wenying Shou, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (USA), Antonis Rokas, Vanderbilt University (USA).
Reviewing Editors who are participating in this initiative will be inviting an early-career reviewer for each manuscript they handle over the coming year, giving early-stage colleagues the opportunity to participate in eLife's consultative review process. Although we will invite members who have recently joined our pool of early-career reviewers, it will not be possible for everyone to be invited.
At the conclusion of the trial we will present information on our experiences, drawing on reflections from participating editors and reviewers. We hope the trial will inform how we can improve our peer-review process more broadly.

Torchlight Online: Revealing the First Screenshot?Jul 30th, 2010 at 7:08 PM by WaxPaper
The developers at Runic Games have nudged players to a mysterious picture this week, which might be our first look at the upcoming Torchlight Online MMO. The majority of the picture was obscured by darkness when it first appeared on the official website earlier this week, announced in this Twitter post from the Runic Games team. The picture was updated several times since then, revealing more each time; in its latest post earlier today, Runic Games wrote: "The darkness rolls back on the enigmatic image..." and indicates that more of the image will be revealed after this weekend.
What do you think of the image? Is Runic Games unveiling the first Torchlight Online in-game screenshot? Or perhaps some concept art, on the other hand? We'll have to wait until next week to know for sure, when more of the image becomes visible. To learn more about the upcoming MMO, which is based on Runic Games' popular Diablo-style RPG of the same name, read our previous "Torchlight Online: Poised to Become a Major MMO?" feature story and check out ZAM's Torchlight Online portal site for more news and info.

A new way to practice for practical shooting sports.
The DR Performance Practice Deck (or "PracticeDeck", for short) represents a new way to practice for practical shooting sports. Consisting of 52 basic shooting drills superimposed on a normal deck of playing cards, the deck allows you to have a thorough, fun, and effective practice session while avoiding the inevitable question of "Well, what do I do now?".
The original DR Performance Practice Deck is a real physical deck of cards (available here). The DR Performance Practice Deck for iOS provides features beyond what a physical deck can do, such as the ability to create and preserve your own decks for easy use in future practice sessions (available in the Pro Upgrade).
A common question is, "What should I practice?" The right answer, "Everything", is a hard thing for most folks to swallow: it's like a big elephant – trying to eat the whole thing at once is impossible, and it's not always obvious where to take the first bite from. USPSA GrandMaster Dave Re decided to tackle this problem, and the DR Performance Practice Deck 1.0 was created.
The "Practice Deck 1.0" focus is on basic practical shooting skills, presenting drills that involve a minimum amount of equipment, relatively short distances, and relatively easy target presentations. These properties allow it to be a sort of "every man" practice tool, suitable for dry fire as well as live fire, usable on almost any range, and that almost every shooter can benefit from.
In early 2011, John Daub spoke with Dave Re about bringing the Practice Deck to iOS (iPhone/iPod/iPad), because with the growth of mobile computing and the sheer number of people we saw at the gun range with iPhones, it made sense to bring the Deck into the digital world.
The DR Performance Practice Deck for iOS provides all the features of the original physical deck and more. The free version provides a limited number of cards and factory decks.
With the Pro Upgrade you receive all original 52 cards, numerous factory-made decks, and the ability to create, edit, and share your own decks. Furthermore, added in version 1.1 is the ability to track your progress by keeping your Scores. Scoring supports various methods, like IPSC, IDPA, and the app's own scoring methodology. Scores can also be exported so you can work with them further in apps like Excel to further track and analyze your progress.
By creating your own decks, you can make your own custom practice sessions for easy reuse at home during dry fire then later at the range for live fire. With deck creation and score tracking, you can ensure progress in your shooting practice and training.
Before bringing the Practice Deck to iOS, Dave had many thoughts about future directions for the product. We've spoken about some things and have some interesting ideas about where to go from here.
If you have some ideas about what you'd like to see towards helping make your practice sessions more productive and how we could help, please contact us and let us know.
Upgrade to the Pro version to unlock all the features!
Purchase the Pro Upgrade via the In-App Store (tap the Shopping Cart icon).


The coddle quickly arrived and before anyone had time to ask for anything else three bowls of thin-looking stew with small pink lumps of sausage bobbing in a broth alongside waxy potatoes were expertly plonked down in front of them.
'I'm sure you already have,' said the Professor. There was an edge to her voice that even seasoned members of the Professor's inner circle would not have recognised.
He was tall and even though his skin was orange-hued he was handsome. This made it even worse. Being the lead singer of a showband, he was more than used to being adored. His hair was beautifully coiffed in the sort of well-oiled quiff that would make most men jealous, not least those in their later years. Even though she would never dare to admit it to anyone, this pompous prig looked a lot like an Irish Rock Hudson. You'll never those words issue forth from my lips, she said to him in her head.

Dekka is an absolutely gorgeous bright-eyed dog that unfortunately grew up in the streets of Thailand, one of the worst places that a poor hopeless dog can wind up. Dogs from Thailand are being taken and brought to the meat markets in China and Korea. It is truly an unimaginable situation for any animal. We are beyond glad that, while working with the local rescue organization, one of the dogs we were able to rescue and bring to the state of New York was Dekka. Dekka is a medium, stunning exotic beauty! Dekka is in perfect health now and is waiting for a forever home to join. Originally Dekka did find a home with a mom, dad, and young son. He was the absolute perfect addition to the mom and son. Especially the little boy, they had a quick and unexplainable amazing bond. Unfortunately, due to the fear of large men, Dekka never learned how to trust the dad and so he is now back in our hands. Dekka is a loyal, comforting, loving and not to mention show off in the streets kind of dog! Each day Dekka is warming up to New York more and more and now he just needs a loving family for his happily ever after which he so deserves.
Are you interested in adopting Dekka? Please fill out the form below and we'll contact you as soon as possible.


This is a really cute sprite!
I feel like the dark outline is needed for a transparent sprite since I don't know the website background it'll be posted to. I like them without an outline in general.
My spriting started in the form of editing Pokemon sprites so they still somewhat resemble them in the outline style.

Q: A limit that exists strongly in Sobolev space $H^s$ and weakly in $H^{s+1}$ In his paper  'Nonstationary flows of viscous and ideal fluids in $\Bbb{R}^3$' Kato mentioned the following: a limit that exists strongly in $H^{m-1}$ and weakly in $H^{m}$ what is explicitly the meaning of that convergence? is it simply the following:
$$\lim\limits_{\nu\to 0}\|u_\nu-u_0\|_{H^{m-1}}=0~~\mbox{and} ~\lim\limits_{\nu\to0}\langle u_\nu-u,\phi\rangle_{H^m}=0,$$
where $\phi$ is a test function (well localized and a regular enough function)

Kitchen cabinets come in various materials, and their construction usually will tell you about the quality and durability of the cabinet. Whether you purchased unfinished kitchen cabinets or you want to rejuvenate the finish on existing wood cabinets, applying varnish is a necessary step for a rich, washable finish. Here are the instructions to varnish your kitchen cabinets. Remove the cabinet doors, drawers and hardware with a screwdriver or screw gun. Put hinges, knobs and screws in a bucket so they don't get misplaced. Set up a work area, such as boards laid across saw horses or 5-gallon buckets, for the doors and drawers. Choose a dust-free, warm place such as a garage or basement. Protect the floor and counter tops below the kitchen cabinet boxes with dust sheets or newspaper taped down to hold it in place. Sand unstained wood with a sanding sponge, working with the grain of the wood. Pay particular attention to edges and detailing to remove rough spots and small slivers of wood.
Vacuum or brush away the sanding dust, then wipe all surfaces down with a tack cloth to remove every last bit of dust. Apply a coat of acrylic varnish with a high-quality 2- or 3-inch brush. Allow it to dry for at least four hours, then sand it lightly with a sanding sponge or 220-grit sandpaper. Remove the dust with the tack cloth. Apply at least two more coats of varnish to the kitchen cabinets, always brushing with the grain of the wood instead of across it. Work in a strong light and run your hand over the surface to feel for rough spots. Allow the cabinet doors to dry for about 24 hours before hanging them.

Crohn's Disease and Colitis Q & A
What are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis?
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the two most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a disease that causes chronic and severe inflammation inside the digestive tract. Over time, inflammation can result in the development of sores and even internal bleeding. The primary difference between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis is that ulcerative colitis is restricted to the rectum and colon, or large intestine, while Crohn's disease can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from the mouth to the anus.
What is the difference between irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease?
While both irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and IBD can cause similar symptoms, IBD causes permanent damage to the bowel tissue while IBS does not. IBS can usually be managed successfully with medication, while IBD may in some cases require surgery to correct.
How is IBD diagnosed?
First, you'll have a physical exam and a discussion of your symptoms, as well as a review of your personal and family medical history to look for risk factors. If IBD is suspected, you'll have a colonoscopy or endoscopy or both to look inside your digestive tract for signs of inflammation and other potential causes of symptoms. Abnormal areas will be biopsied so the tissue can be examined more closely under a microscope. Blood work, stool samples and imaging tests like x-ray or MRI may also be ordered. Sometimes a barium x-ray is ordered. Barium x-rays require you to swallow a chalky liquid filled with barium that helps provide clearer images of your digestive tract during imaging. To visualize the lower portion of the digestive tract, barium may be administered via an enema.

Wood pallet manufacturer opens warehouse in Baltimore with aim of creating up to 50 jobs
Howard County to move on to Phase 1B of COVID-19 vaccination plan on Jan. 25
Coronavirus in Maryland: 5 takeaways from the week
By Hallie Miller
The Sun's health reporter Meredith Cohn on how you go about getting tested for COVID-19 and the survival rate of patients that are put on ventilators.
Maryland's coronavirus case count continued to climb this week as statewide testing expands and officials target efforts toward essential workers who may have been exposed to the coronavirus.
The caseload grew tenfold over the month of April, state data show, and more than 1,000 people have died due to complications from COVID-19. Hospitals have seen spikes in patients, with over 1,700 people currently occupying beds.
To keep Marylanders up to date with the week's most pressing takeaways, here are five key points from The Baltimore Sun's coronavirus coverage.
Universal testing at nursing homes finally becomes a reality
After hundreds of deaths and weeks of public pressure, Gov. Larry Hogan on Wednesday ordered the state to test all residents and staffs at nursing homes and assisted living facilities to curb the rate of infection among these groups.
It comes after revelations that about 50% of the state's confirmed deaths from COVID-19 have been connected to nursing homes. And at least six nursing homes have more than 100 cases, according to the state data. All told, there are 24,000 Marylanders living in nursing homes.
State officials acknowledge that asymptomatic carriers have likely brought the coronavirus into senior living facilities, where it then spread among vulnerable people like wildfire. But hampered by a shortage of test kits, the state did not commit to supply universal testing for several weeks.
Previously, the state limited testing to symptomatic residents and staffs.
Expanded testing capacity can reveal more cases as well as new areas of exposure around the state, which medical experts say is critical to flattening the curve and, ultimately, lifting restrictions. The results can also help nursing administrators make decisions about staffing, rooming and protocol.

Lawmakers call for Maryland to cancel rent, mortgage payments
Democratic lawmakers in Maryland called on Hogan to cancel rent and mortgage payments for residents in need of financial relief amid the coronavirus outbreak as the economic fallout continues to take its toll.
About 380,000 Marylanders have applied for unemployment benefits since the outbreak crept into Maryland and shuttered parts of the economy, with 37,000 people filing claims in the last week alone.
Meanwhile, Maryland's faulty online portal has caused added strain among those seeking unemployment benefits, a problem the state identified this week and vowed to fix in the early hours of the morning to prevent users from experiencing delays and crashes during normal business hours.
Hogan said Thursday "his heart goes out" to people who are struggling to apply for unemployment benefits. He said that in one five-day period, 250,000 people tried to file for benefits in Maryland.
"It's frustrating to me that some people are waiting way too long and the system was not able to handle" the number of applicants," Hogan said.
When asked about rent and mortgage relief, Hogan spokesman Mike Ricci did not commit to take the proposal under serious consideration. Rather, he said the administration appreciates the "ideas and input" from the lawmakers.
"Back in mid-March, the governor issued orders prohibiting evictions and utility shutoffs, and he has extended those orders to June 1," Ricci said. "He also enacted a financial relief package to stop foreclosures and prohibit repossessions, and worked with banks across the state to provide financial relief to borrowers. We continue to explore ways to help Marylanders get back on their feet as we plan for the recovery."
Juveniles released from detention centers as coronavirus spreads behind bars
Officials released 200 youths from state detention centers this week in an attempt to protect more inmates and guards from catching and spreading the virus.
More than 200 individuals within the state's criminal justice system have contracted COVID-19, a phenomenon which some have attributed to close quarters and a scarcity of supplies with which to combat the coronavirus inside facilities.
Some advocates said the release of nonviolent inmates and those charged with misdemeanors should set the tone for the future.
"Advocates have been calling for these changes for years." Jenny Egan, chief attorney for the Juvenile Division of the public defender's office in Baltimore, said of state officials. "Let's hope when the crisis abates, the realization that kids never belong in cages doesn't go away as well."
With the prison system comprised of mostly black inmates — a group that appears to contract and die from COVID-19 at higher rates than other racial and ethnic groups — calls to free up space in the system and send people home have mounted from defense attorneys, the ACLU, lawmakers and Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby.
Since the new coronavirus swept into Maryland in force in March, the state has released more than 2,000 inmates, some awaiting trial, who were judged as low-level threats to the community, and others who were nearing the end of their sentences.
Some, including The Baltimore Sun's editorial board, argue that keeping low-level offenders out of prison is an approach that should continue even after the pandemic subsides.
An usual election comes and goes without major glitches
Former Rep. Kweisi Mfume recaptured his former seat this week in a bid against Republican Kimberly Klacik in the 7th Congressional District, which he will hold at least until the end of the late Rep. Elijah Cummings' term in 2021.
Mfume will run again to stay in the position for the seat's next full l in the upcoming June primary. He will face off against other Democrat and Republican contenders for the new term, including Cummings' widow, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, and Democratic state Sen. Jill Carter.
Mfume, who left his position in Congress to head the NAACP in 1996, won about 73 percent based on the ballots that had been counted as of Friday. In a district of about 500,000 eligible voters, over 130,000 voters cast ballots, though the official number will likely be higher once all mail-in votes are added to the tally.
Aside from conflicting instructions about postage on the mail-in ballots, Tuesday's election came and went without any major glitches or challenges. Voters were strongly encouraged to vote by mail, and they largely listened — just over 1,000 voters cast ballots at in-person voting centers Tuesday.
Hogan said the state will again encourage as many voters as possible to vote by mail for the June 2 primaries, which will select nominees for president, Baltimore's mayor and other key races. Limited in-person voting will be offered for those who need assistance voting or who do not receive ballots in the mail.
Outbreaks at meat processing plants could threaten food supply
The Eastern Shore town of Salisbury — and its population of about 32,000 — made national headlines this week when the New York Times reported that it had one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the country.
Some 1,800 people have contracted the virus, according to The Times, though their report factors in the Salisbury metropolitan statistical area, which includes the surrounding towns and also parts of Delaware.
Breaking News Alerts Newsletter
Still, local leaders said the majority of cases stem from poultry workers, a huge part of the area's workforce. Hogan said at a Wednesday news conference that over 260 poultry workers in the state had tested positive.
The news comes as a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump compels meat processing facilities to remain open for the long haul, identifying them as part of the nation's critical infrastructure to prevent them from closing. Slowdowns or closures of such plants could precipitate national meat shortages, officials said.
Maryland will roll out a mass drive-thru testing operation this weekend at Perdue Stadium, specifically for meat and poultry workers. Meanwhile, the union that represents meatpackers across the country has called for elected officials to identify these employees as first responders so that they qualify for expanded testing and other resources to combat the spread of the virus.
Hogant acknowledged the tension between keeping families fed and workers healthy.
"Some of it is problems with distribution. Some of it is simply people rushing out and hoarding … People should just buy what they need and not be wiping out the shelves," he said.

Connecting people quickly to volunteer opportunities
Collaborate is an app that matches volunteers with organisations that need their help. Created for volunteers, founded by volunteers and built by volunteers, Collaborate's aim is to make volunteering fast, fun and addictive.
Viewthe work
letscollaborate.co.nz
Skillsapplied to this project
Springload were great to work with. Their professionalism, planning and responsiveness added such value to our project
Holly Norton
Director and Co-founder
The challenge: Simplifying volunteer opportunities and recruitment
Collaborate wanted a more user-friendly platform for volunteers and organisations to connect as they were using ad hoc pages and Google Forms. They didn't have the resources to make this happen themselves and were seeking pro bono help. We answered that call.
We suggested their platform would be best expressed as a progressive web app, which works on both desktop and mobile. To make the best use of the 14 developers who were volunteering their time, we recommended holding a weekend-long hackathon.
Our approach: Breaking down functionality
We separated the app's capabilities into three deliverables:
Volunteers can create an account, view and apply for opportunities by location, which notifies the organisation, and Collaborate can manage opportunities for organisations.
Organisations can register accounts, create and manage opportunities.
Communication within the app between volunteers and organisations.
As a MVP, we aimed to deliver chunks one and two by the end of the weekend.
Designing, building and testing at lightspeed
For this project to be successful we knew we had to work super fast and efficiently.
Luckily, Collaborate had a basic prototype for our designer to use as a starting point, which were used to create wireframes. Test scripts were set up and wireframes reviewed by our front-end team. Design in Sketch followed. A basic prototype was created in Invision so the front- and back-end teams could begin work. While the UI was being designed, our test engineer changed parts of the wireframes to make sure they corresponded with what we could build.
Once the UI designs were finished and reviewed by our front-end developers the wireframe designs were replaced in the Invision prototype. These were then imported to Zeplin so our front-ends could see the styles used.
This rapid fire collaboration and back and forth was the norm from Friday evening through to Sunday afternoon way.
We would work with Springload again and would recommend them to anyone who wants to put the customer at the centre of the design process. The diverse skills within the Springload team and their positive energy was such an asset to us.
Ceara McAuliffe Bickerton
Product Lead and Co-founder
The results: Delivering Collaborate's product to market
We've met Collaborate's goal of launching their product to market. More than 400 volunteers and 120 organisations have signed up. Volunteers can now register using their Facebook profile and search for opportunities based on where they live. We didn't have time to provide organisations with the same functionality, but this will be part of phase two. So will email registration, integration with payment systems and add-on features for organisations.

The Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service (CID), have released a statement regarding the search for 'Wanted' Ghana Football Association president, Kwesi Nyantekyi.
The first vice-president at the CAF have charged for defrauding with false pretense in the name of the president.
The GFA boss has been caught on video using the name of the president and other senior government officials to induce "potential investors" to part with money.
The video was recorded by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and the full video will be aired at the Accra International Conference Centre on June 6.


Psychoacoustics (also known as Music Magic) is a specialty of Lewis & Clark Institute of Magic; this discipline uses forms of music to achieve magical effects. Recent forays into infusing Psychoacoustics with Mundane amplification systems and electronic components such as wahwah pedals and autotuners have had unpredictable results, usually whimsical. A notable example is lead singer Sylvyr Savchenko's voice being irrevocably cursed with the throaty ululating growl of a Tufted Puffin. Fratercula bandmates have embraced the new sound and the effects of the Music Magic on fans resulted in a surge in album sales post-Puffin.

Adobe Makes Creating the Metaverse Easier
And beefs up support for Apple M chips
Published on June 14, 2022 12:43PM EDT
Just like all digital spaces, metaverse destinations must be designed, programmed, and implemented, and there are plenty of tools for creators to do just that.
One such tool is Adobe's Substance 3D, which just received a massive update, as announced via press release. For the uninitiated, Substance is sort of like Photoshop for 3D space and has been a mainstay of digital animators as they create worlds found in movies and video games.
Adobe / Joshua Eiten
It is also quite handy for creating the 3D graphics behind metaverse worlds. To that end, the update brings a wealth of new tools to budding VR creators. A new SDK allows developers to craft their own plugins and launch Substance engines in other applications, such as the gaming creation platform Unity.
A new toolkit also automates some of the more rote and time-intensive tasks involved in creating 3D animations from the ground up. Additionally, the update allows Photoshop and Illustrator users to access Substance via a dedicated plugin.
Adobe has revealed it's working on even more quality-of-life improvements for Substance 3D. Later this year, the company will release Substance 3D Modeler, a toolset that allows users to sculpt 3D objects and scenes directly in virtual space.
Substance 3D Modeler will also be available for desktop users, and Adobe has taken steps to ensure all aspects of the software integrate with Apple's proprietary line of M-class chips. In the long term, this could help make Apple a player in the metaverse and game design space.
Substance 3D is free for teachers and students worldwide but requires a Creative Cloud subscription for everyone else.

Homepage > Archived Reviews > Reviews 2016 > June 2016 > JUST PLAYING and THE ROAD TAKEN by Ingela Bohm
I was lucky enough to be sent these two books to review by the author.
They are books 1 and 2 in The Pax Cymrica, the true history series.....
Although this author has a few books out, she is one I have never read before and I love that, finding a new author to read is one of my favourite things, especially when the books are so good.
In book one we meet Michael, he is bullied constantly for his looks and beaten on almost a daily basis by Simon and his gang.
When a new boy comes to the school and starts to talk to him, he is unsure if it's just a set up by the bullies to make him think he has a friend.
Turns out that Jamie is just as unsure of himself as the new boy and they find they share a love of music, this is to be the basis for their friendship and will define their whole future.
In the time when this book is set, being gay has only been legal for a few years.
When playing music together leads to experimentation, Jamie gets scared and tries to back off.
Eventually he forms a band on his own as Michael never thinks he is good enough and he decides to leave for London.
There is one thing stopping him though and he can't figure out why!!!
He just can't face the thought of life without his best friend.
This book is so beautiful, it's filled with innocent touches, heartbreaking moments of realisation and times of self loathing when they both don't want to admit their feelings for each other.
By the time we get to book two, Michael has been pushed in to joining the band.
The one thing they are told though, in no uncertain terms is that they are not to look at one another, share a room together and most definitely never touch each other.
If they want to succeed, they must follow these rules.
That turns out to be easier said than done.
In their own minds, both men realise that they love each other and that being apart will be the hardest thing ever.
They try, they really do but the pull of someone you love being just out of reach is too much.
Jamie even marries a groupie to keep up the front but the chemistry between the two men is clear to everyone who sees them.
When Michael is injured and a replacement has to be found, the band seems to fall further apart.
Is real love worth giving up to chase your dream????
I absolutely loved these books and the build up in the first one was perfect.
Sometimes you don't need the full on sex scenes to make a story and it made a change to see the feelings develop slowly, the uncertainty in both men and the absolute love that they finally come to terms with.
I immediately went and bought books three and four and I can't wait to continue their journey with them.

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS verdict
Canon PowerShot SX210 IS results : Real-life resolution / Sharpness wide-angle / Sharpness telephoto / High ISO Noise
Support this site by shopping below
To compare real-life performance we shot the same scene with the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5 within a few moments of each other using their best quality JPEG settings and lowest sensitivities.
The lenses on each camera were adjusted to deliver the same field-of-view; the Sony crops are larger due to its lower resolution. Each camera was set to Program mode without intervention to see how they performed with default settings. See our sharpness pages for results at all apertures.
The image above was taken with the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS at 80 ISO with an exposure of 1/320 and the lens set to 7mm f4; the original file measured 3.61MB. As stated above, we allowed each camera to automatically select its own exposure in Program mode, in order to compare how they performed under default settings.
The Canon had nine aperture values at its disposal when set to this focal length, and in Program mode, selected one close to the maximum: the largest aperture available was f3.5, and the SX210 IS chose f4. Judging from our sharpness results pages, this was a good choice, as the SX210 IS delivers the sharpest results (depth-of-field aside) close to its maximum aperture. This wasn't an isolated example either, with the SX210 IS regularly choosing large apertures in its automatic modes, thereby minimising the softening effect of diffraction.
This is in some contrast to the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 / ZS7, which tends to select relatively small apertures in its Auto modes, suffering from some softness through diffraction as a result. You can manually select larger apertures on the Panasonic for better results, but it's unfortunate the camera prefers smaller ones when working in Auto or Program.
As for the Sony, the Cyber-shot HX5 has just two aperture settings available at any focal length, and has selected the smaller of the two here. Normally this would be cause for concern as smaller apertures on compacts often result in diffraction, but we believe the Sony employs a neutral density filter to simulate its smaller aperture settings. While this means there's no control over depth-of-field on the HX5, it should at least eliminate any concerns over diffraction at large f-numbers. So while a similar f-number on the Canon and Panasonic models would result in diffraction with significant softening of the image, it essentially makes no difference to the Sony.
The crops below are taken from the areas marked with the red squares and presented here at 100%; again the Sony samples show a larger area due to its lower resolution. With cloud obscuring the mountain ridge, our first crops come from a lower area. There's not a great deal of fine detail in these hills, but the Canon has managed to capture a little more than the Sony, while better avoiding the smearing caused by over-zealous image processing in areas of similar tonality.
A more meaningful comparison between the cameras can be seen in the next three rows. First of all it's clear how the higher resolution of the Canon is delivering a tighter crop. There's also finer details contained within, especially in the building markings on the second and fourth rows and within the foliage on the third.
But the higher pixel count is only partly responsible here, as Sony once again smears away much of its finest detail with a noise-averse approach to image processing. There may be little visible noise, at least at the lower sensitivities, but the penalty is a reduction in the finest details. In contrast, the Canon crops may reveal fine noise textures to pixel-peepers even at 80 ISO, but at least more of the detail captured by the sensor and optics makes it through to the final JPEG.
But given we're comparing 14 Megapixels against 10, the differences may not be as great as you'd initially expect. The Canon is certainly recording finer details at its lowest sensitivity, but you'll need to be peering closely to really notice it. Viewed at lower magnifications, or printed at all but the biggest sizes, you'd be hard-pushed to notice much benefit to the Canon's 40% higher pixel-count.
It's also crucial to see how each camera compares at higher sensitivities, and we'll do just that in our High ISO Noise results page. But if you can wait a little longer, please check out our corner sharpness results first, as these reveal not just the quality when zoomed-out and in, but the impact of different aperture settings.
So onto our next results page to see how the PowerShot SX210 IS performs in terms of sharpness when fully zoomed-out. Alternatively skip straight to our High ISO Noise results, or our Verdict.

So, the site was down for a couple of hours today, and it is going to be acting a little funny for the next little while. You will notice that pages will sit not loading for up to 20-30 seconds at a time, and then suddenly everything will work fine for a short while. This is expected and, sadly, appears to be unavoidable.
Shortest version: PHP is a hateful language and the source of all misery in the world.
Short version: don't try to delete 3.5 million rows from a table in MySQL all at once, especially one that's accessed every time someone visits a page on your website.
Longer version: When someone visits the site without a cookie (for instance, someone visiting the site for the first time, someone who has logged out and back in, spambots, viewing from seperate browsers, whatever), Drupal generates a random number for the client to use as its session identifier. It shoves this number into a database table, along with a timestamp of when it gave that number out. Every so often, it is meant to do a search for old, expired sessions, and clean them out of the database, because otherwise it would just grow and grow forever and become monstrously full of useless data.
This has not been happening. Ever. In the five years the site has been running.
It turns out that the "garbage collection" process controlled via an internal PHP configuration setting, which Debian Linux turns off because the way it works is kind of dumb (instead of being scheduled on a predictable basis, as would be sensible, it happens at random when someone tries to view a page). Unfortunately, the alternative they set up doesn't work with Drupal.
So I turned it on. And tried to load the site. And then it turns out that while it's cleaning up the session table, the site can't access it. And the site needs to access it on every pageview to see if you're logged in or not.
Well, I figured it had a lot of data to crunch through, so I decided to let it do its thing. And I waited. And waited. And 2.5 hours later it still wasn't done. I looked around online and decided that maybe the more sensible course of action was, instead of sorting through and deleting 600mb of data all at once, maybe I could write a little script to just delete a little at a time, and let other things talk to the database once in a while. Like my website.
So that's what it's doing. Unfortunately there's so much data to wade through that even deleting 1000 rows at a time takes like 20 seconds. This process will hopefully speed up as more old sessions get deleted, until eventually, sometime, maybe tomorrow?, there will be no noticeable pauses at all when browsing the site. Won't that be great? I'm looking forward to it.
Anyway, thought I'd let people know what was going on.
Alright, looks like this cleared up nicely overnight. Everything should be responsive and quick again. Sorry for the inconvenience!
