Upon Florida becoming a State of the Union in 1845, the Middle District became the Middle Circuit of Florida, and the Superior Courts became the Circuit Courts. Initially, the Middle Circuit was comprised of Gadsden (1823), Leon (1824), Jefferson (1827), Madison (1827), Hamilton (1827) and Wakulla (1843) Counties. The following counties were added: Liberty (1855), Taylor (1856) and Lafayette (1856). In 1859, Lafayette County was transferred to the newly created Suwannee Circuit. Franklin County was in the Western Circuit from 1845-1868. Upon the adoption of the Constitution of 1868, the Middle Circuit was placed in the newly created Second Judicial Circuit.
The judges who served the Middle Circuit after Florida became a State were: Thomas Baltzell1 (1845-1850), J. Wayles Baker (1851-1867) and Alexander McDonald2 (1867-1868).
Initially, after Statehood, the Supreme Court's duties were performed by the Circuit Judges. The circuit judge's would meet collectively and when so gathered they constituted the Florida Supreme Court. Of course, a judge could not review a case on appeal if he had previously served as the trial judge in that case. A majority of the circuit judges were required to ". . . hold such sessions of the Supreme Court at such times as may be directed by law." The Legislature had adopted a system of Terms of Court which required the circuit judge to be in a particular county generally twice a year, on a day certain, to hold court. There were four (4) circuit judges; one each from the Western, Middle, Eastern and Southern Circuits, and while they were required to live in their individual circuits, they were also required to rotate among the other circuits. It was believed this rotation would enhance impartiality.
Travel in those days could be difficult. "The Weekly Floridian reminded the public that as far as the Southern Circuit was concerned, a judge in time must become a practical sailor, and egad, a bold one: for many is the man who would face a cannon or meet his particular friend at ten paces, without the slightest tremor of nerves, but would still falter and hesitate at making a trip to Key West, in a sailboat with an inexperienced crew. Finally, the critic recommended that the Legislative Assembly appropriate money for life preservers, instead of a law library, and clothe judges in Indian rubber rather than ermine."3
After two years, the rotation of judges between the circuits was abandoned. Still, there was travel within one's own circuit, as well as the rough and tumble of the pioneer setting. Even in Tallahassee violence abounded. In 1856, a young planter from Madison County was stabbed to death by the hot tempered proprietor of the City Hotel. A trial held three months later resulted in a Not Guilty verdict within thirty minutes. The outcome of the case gave Tallahassee some of the worst press it had experienced for years. The New York Police Gazette headline read: "Life in Tallahassee- The Bowie Knife the Ruler."4
In 1848, the Constitution was amended to provide for a separate Supreme Court. The amendment was not implemented until 1851. Thereafter, circuit judges no longer served collectively as a Supreme Court but presided only over cases within their own circuits. Florida adopted a new constitution in 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil War and again in 1865, at the end of the Civil War. Our circuit judge at the time, J. Wayles Baker, weathered all the changes and died in office on July 3, 1867.
This History was prepared by Judge George S. Reynolds III, in memory of Judge Ben C. Willis (1957-1984). Judge Willis spent a great deal of time educating young lawyers and judges on the history of our circuit. Hopefully, this article will reflect well on his efforts.
Judge Baltzell later became Justice Baltzell as a member of the Florida Supreme Court 1854-1860.
J. L. Husband, an attorney from Philadelphia, was appointed by Union Gen. Pope in Atlanta. Gov. David S. Walker had initially recommended John Friend of Fernandina Beach, but Gen. Pope had acted prior to receiving Gov. Walker's recommendation. J. L Husband, after coming to Tallahassee, declined the appointment and Alexander McDonald of Madison, Florida was appointed.

Meet the superhero volunteers who came together to put on an action-packed fundraiser for Children's of Alabama—and some heroic kids who inspired them.
A hero is someone who overcomes outrageous odds or risks personal safety for the benefit of someone else. A SUPER Hero is all that and more, typically with the help of some special power and a far cooler outfit. You would be surprised how many dwell among us. The short story is that a nonprofit had a fundraiser for a good cause, but the magic was watching what happens when individuals work together for a collective good.
What do you get when you cross a hospital, a nonprofit, a creative agency, local businesses, and college football fans? You get enough goodness to light up the city.
There are over 50 Rotary Clubs in Alabama's District 6860. Ten years ago, they combined a bunch of stuff the South does best and hosted a "pre-football-season-shrimp boil-tailgate." Attendees and sponsors showed out in their team colors, and that first year Boiling N' Bragging raised $1,200. They donated the money to Children's of Alabama Critical Care Transport, and just like that—Rotary 6860 found its cause. This year will mark the event's 10th year, and Boiling N' Bragging has now generated roughly a million dollars. Now when the Children's of Alabama helicopter lifts into the air, it does so with the support of Rotary.
To be a Super Hero you need to fly across the sky and save the day—and that's exactly what Jason Peterson does. As the director of Children's Critical Care Transport, he has flown over 800 flights. Help is immediate; within 15 minutes of the call, the team is in the air. Many flights transport patients from other medical facilities, but the team has navigated less accommodating circumstances, like the time they landed the chopper in the parking lot of a BBQ restaurant. Sometimes you do what you gotta do.
I work for a Creative Agency called Kernel, created by Spectrum Reach. Like all creative directors, I routinely get to take credit for the remarkable talents of my team. I cannot, however, take credit for their hearts. When asked by Spectrum Reach account executive and proud Rotary member Randy Jinks to support Boiling and Bragging, they hatched their own plan. Their vision was for Kernel storyboard artist Andy Gray to draw each child as a Super Hero, and let them choose their own powers and attributes. They would be given their own poster, and team up on the cover of a comic book.
Batman had Robin, Superman had Jimmy, and we had partners, too. Everybody who learned of the project immediately stepped up. Bob Barker of Big Printing refused payment for creating all of the posters. B-Metro immediately offered to tell the story. Craig Williams, president of Alabama Professional Services, used part of his own advertising schedule to promote the event, on the sole condition that the Rotary accept his personal donation as well.
Look around you, Birmingham, and know this: at work, at play, in the grocery store, and arching across the air…there are Super Heroes everywhere.

Ragan has a smile that makes her appear lit from within. Two years ago when she was 14 years old, she was celebrating Memorial Day at the lake with her family when the jet ski she was riding was crashed into by another jet ski. She was airlifted off the dock by the Critical Care Transport Helicopter and taken to the closest hospital in Huntsville. The same day, the helicopter brought her to Children's of Alabama. Her mother told me that 90 percent of the people who suffer her level of brain trauma never make it to the hospital, and of the 10 percent who do, 90 percent of those patients never regain consciousness. Ragan walked into our studio with no assistance other than the hand of her mom for balance. Like only a 16-year-old girl can, she rocks skinny jeans and loves shopping. Her Super Hero would have flaming hair and super strength, but—most importantly—be wearing ankle booties and just the right hoodie.
At six years old, Raimi displays a very self-assured demeanor. At our photo shoot, when she was asked to pose in a certain way as if she was flying, she very pleasantly said "No." She wasn't upset and felt no need to elaborate, but Raimi felt zero compulsion to comply. It was delightful. She brought along her 10-year-old cousin Gianna, who quickly got the lay of the land and essentially began functioning as her agent. They had with them a stuffed dog who had been outfitted in a cape emblazoned with the letter S, which they explained was because his name was Captain Sprinkles. At six months old Raimi was in a Walmart with her mother and grandmother and began choking. Her mom performed the Heimlich maneuver, and they rushed her to Children's Hospital where they discovered no blockage or permanent damage. The thought of what could have happened that day is a cautionary reminder of how life can change on a dime. Raimi's priorities were that her long dress be white with pink hearts and long sleeves, and she wanted to shoot out hearts as she assisted Captain Sprinkles.
Garrett is a handsome young teenager with manners superior to most adults I've met. He is the fourth oldest of eight siblings, and he is home schooled. He likes basketball and football, and soccer is growing on him. (There was no mention of baseball. If Garrett doesn't like something, he is too polite to say so.) As a toddler he was diagnosed with asthma, and twice had attacks so bad that he was air lifted to Children's. The Critical Care helicopter holds a pilot, nurse, and respiratory therapist, so there is no room for anyone else. I asked his father Tommie if it was terrifying to watch the chopper fly off with his child but not him onboard, and he smiled and said, "No. It was a relief. The terrifying part was before they got there." Garrett's requests were to be super strong, fly, and wear a backpack full of tech that he would use to help people everywhere.

We're blowing our own horn today to tell you about the new Shot Training Target we've just added to the American Concealed shop.
This training target helps you evaluate your shot and what mistakes you could be making. It offers explanations to help you make sense of why your shot might go to the upper left of the target. For instance, in that case, you might be squeezing the heel of your grip too much, causing the muzzle to rise.
The target hangs at a good size of 17.5 inches wide by 24 inches tall. The bright yellow target is dead center, with radiating gray zones surrounding it. Each zone offers common problems caused by both right and left hand shooting and solutions to help you correct the mistakes for dead-on target practice every time.
Each of the eight zones helps you quickly discover what's causing you to shoot off target by identifying where each bullet strike falls. Even something as small as using your index finger just a tad too much can pull your bullet off center, and leave you with a strike to the right instead of where you wanted to plant it.
Try shooting it the way you really do and evaluate what you might be doing wrong. Then try to intentionally pull your bullets around the eight zones and see if you can feel the difference. These targets are ideal for the new as well as experienced shooter and would make an ideal gift along with a box of ammunition and a day at the range.
Order the paper targets in packs of two for $9.95 or three for $14.75. Flat-rate shipping of $2.50 applies. They're in the American Concealed shop and are ready to ship now.


Pinwheels are so popular among baby led weaners I am so surprised it took me so long to make them for Dex. It's all I have seen people talk about on baby led weaning groups (also they talk a lot about these banana pancakes.) Obviously you can make your own pastry, but for me it's quicker and easier to use the ready made kind. Make sure you take it out of the fridge about an hour before you want to use it so it's at room temperature when you roll it which stops it cracking. The recipe below makes about ten baby led weaning pinwheels.
I started by preheating the oven to 180C and wilting a couple of handfuls spinach on the hob. You can also wilt spinach by putting it in a colander and pouring boiling water over it.
While the spinach was wilting, I rolled out my puff pastry and cut it so I was left with a piece the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
First I added Cirio Double Concentrated Tomato Puree, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon. I sprinkled over grated cheese, the cooked spinach and chopped up pieces of ham.
Next, I rolled the pastry, with my hands, creating a Swiss roll. I brushed the pastry with egg wash and then cut it into 1cm slices. Make sure you use a very sharp knife at this point.
I placed the slices on a baking tray which I had lined with baking paper and popped them in the oven for fifteen minutes. They will turn a lovely golden brown when they are ready and you will be able to see the cheese bubbling away.
Leave them to cool for ten minutes or so before serving to baby.
Instead of creating a log which you cut into you could also start by cutting thin strips out of the pastry, adding the topping then rolling. Both methods are easy enough but I find the second one is less messy.
These are so delicious and very filling. I only offered one to Dex and it was completely devoured. The tomato purée gives them an authentic strong tomato taste while the spinach is adding vitamins and minerals to baby's diet. They are easy for baby to pick up and soft enough to chew and swallow.
The pinwheels can be kept in the fridge for three days or frozen. Just make sure they are fully cooled before refrigerating or freezing them.
There are so many variations to this recipe out there, the world is your oyster where pinwheels are concerned, you could try sweet ones using peanut butter or Nutella or try recreating a cheeseburger by adding mince, cheese and salsa. The possibilities are endless.
Let me know which baby led weaning pinwheels you try.
Wow, these look delicious. Once we get the reflux under control we'll be trying these for real.
Which way do you roll the pastry up? Using the shortime side or the long side? Sorry for my baby brain question!
Finally got around to trying these and both me and the little one loved them. I'm looking forward to trying out more combinations!
Ah fantastic! You have to try banana and nutella!
Hi. What age do you recommend giving these from?


Expert advice on easy shower repairs, including fixing showers that run hot and cold, replacing a shower head, fixing a clogged shower drain, and more.
Because of daily use and the nature of the work they do, showers are prone to a variety of problems. Here we take a look at some do-it-yourself measures you can take to deal with these. For information on handling problems with shower doors, see Shower Mildew & Shower Door Spots.
For information about how to deal with a leaky or defective shower valve, please see How to Fix a Shower Valve.
Shower heads eventually wear out or become clogged with lime deposits. When this happens, shower heads generally do a very poor job of spraying and look like something alien that has grown out of the wall.
Your best bet when your shower head reaches this stage—unless your old one is particularly valuable to you—is to replace it with a new one.
You'll need locking-jaw pliers and a pipe wrench and/or an adjustable wrench for unscrewing the old head.
1Put duct tape on the tools' jaws to protect the finish on the shower arm and new shower head.
2Prevent the shower arm from turning with pliers or pipe wrench while you unscrew the old shower head (counterclockwise) with the other wrench or pliers.
3Wrap the shower arm's pipe threads with a couple layers of Teflon tape (clockwise).
4Simply screw-in the new head or shower hose attachment piece at the fitting, turning it clockwise.
For more extensive directions, see How to Replace a Shower Head.
Though grout can be repaired and you can re-caulk joints, if a shower pan is leaking, you'll need to have it repaired by a tile installer or roofing contractor.
Contact your homeowner's insurance company; repairing the damage may be covered.
1Remove the shower drain screen. This should just be a matter of lifting it out. If it's stuck, you may need to hook it with a short piece of wire to lift it out.
2Plug the shower drain with a shower drain plug, purchased online or at a hardware store or home improvement center. Be sure it completely seals the drain.
3Fill the shower floor with water to about 1 inch from the top of the step and mark the water line. Wait a few minutes. If the water level goes down and wetness shows up beneath the shower, the pan is leaking.
If your shower sprays freezing cold water when the dishwasher or washing machine kicks on, or scalds you when someone flushes a toilet, you have two basic choices: first, to organize shower schedules with appliance schedules or, second, to have a pressure-balancing valve installed on the hot and cold water lines that supply the shower faucet. Unless you're quite familiar with doing your own plumbing work, this is not an easy shower repair—it's a job for a plumber.


A Commonplace Blog: Who thinks or writes like this?
Who thinks or writes like this?
Now, I am not exactly sure what Neilson is objecting to here. That putting such prose into the mouth of such a man is a sin against authenticity, fatally compromising the novel's realism? That it is impossible, destroying the novel's tragic effect? Merely implausible, making the novel a clumsy vehicle for carrying the reader away?
Two things, at all events, that I don't think Neilson allows for. Ethan Frome was published in 1911, thirty years after electricity first began to be generated at central stations. If the history of the Boston Edison Company is any indication, the spread and use of electrical power in Massachusetts (the setting of the book) was only becoming widespread around the time that Wharton wrote. The cost of electricity per kilowatt hour dropped by half in the city between 1886 and 1909, according to Boston Edison. The price decrease was the result of engineering improvements and increased demand.
In short, Wharton attaches her narrator to "the big power-house at Corbury Junction" in order to fix the novel's framing story firmly in the present. An electrical engineer who had risen to have become a manager or supervisor by 1909–'11 would have had to graduate from college around, say, the turn of the century. As historians of the American university can tell you, even engineering students in the late nineteenth century received an education that would strike current engineering students as excessively literary and humanistic. Even if they did not intend to pursue one of the "learned professions," young engineers were expected, as university graduates, to be liberally educated. A man of Wharton's narrator's background would be far more articulate and even poetic than his counterpart today. Neilson does not account for this historical difference.
What is more, his occupation—his interest in popular science—is intended to defamiliarize the narrator, to make him a visitor from a different world and time, almost exactly like Mr Lockwood in Wuthering Heights. The narrator's distance from events is designed to give Ethan Frome's story the quality of strangeness, even uncanniness. Once the frame is set by arranging to have the story told to an up-to-date visitor, it is dispensed with, and the question of authenticity or plausibility is no longer relevant (the question of possibility is another matter entirely). The frame is merely a device for generating the fiction.
Hi Professor Myers, thank you for taking the time to read my post and challenge my interpretation. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
First, I do not think it's a sin against authenticity or realism. Nor do I think it destroys the novel's tragic effect. It's an extraordinary bit of storytelling, "transcendent," as I say in the intro. But I do think there's an incongruity of sorts, akin to a mechanical or power engineer picking up a violin and playing a Paganini violin concerto with grace and accomplishment. It strains believability.
You bring up a good point, however. Maybe I'm reading the frame anachronistically.
When you write, "A man of Wharton's narrator's background would be far more articulate and even poetic than his counterpart today," I'm inclined to agree with you. But the larger point, which I hope was implied in my original post, isn't only whether the narrator is more articulate and poetic than a power engineer in 2010, but whether his background and interests can reasonably prepare him to be as literate and poetic as a Whartonesque novelist.
Like a fine instrument, he handles his prose like a prodigy.
Anyhow, I'm trying to scare up letters, journals, and pamphlets written by university educated engineers in the early 1900s. If I find passages that hum with the virtuosity of a world-historical novelist, I'll buy you a beer.
The narrator's background is not intended, then, as you put it, to "reasonably prepare him to be as literate and poetic as a Whartonesque novelist." The intention is to make the foreground (that is, Ethan Frome's uncanny tale) more believable. See? Even a modern rational man is transported by it.
Does this passage "hum with the virtuosity of a world-historical novelist"? No, of course not. Is it written with liveliness and exactitude, containing some extra for delight (in addition to any information that it conveys)? Absolutely.
I drink Negra Modelo, by the way.
Now I'm lost. The argument was about whether an engineer could write good prose? Or about whether he would tell the story we get in Ethan Frome in the way we get it, which is, strangely, exactly the way a novelist would tell it. To the engineer, the story is non-fiction, right?
I'm surprised you or Cunningham are so happy with "merely." You're both right, empirically, but aren't the "merely"s where the flaws are likely to be, even in a masterpiece, the places where the author had to stop and say "good enough"?
See my comments on "good enough" in literature earlier today.
What does it mean to say that a story is told "exactly the way a novelist would tell it"? Aren't Huckleberry Finn, The Catcher in the Rye, and The November Criminals novels, and pretty good ones at that?
As I said in the post above, once the frame (viz., that an unnamed electrical engineer with an interest in modern science is passing along Ethan Frome's story as it was told to him) is set, it is dispensed with.
The question that may arise, for anyone who suddenly notices the frame, is whether an electrical engineer in the early twentieth century could tell a story with such literary flair. My argument is that it is entirely plausible, given engineers' degree of literary education at the time.
By "tell" here, I actually mean "write." Would a non-fiction account of the story of Ethan Frome be written the same way as a piece of fiction?. Whether or not the author is an engineer doesn't bother me, actually, so perhaps this takes us too far off the topic. I grant that point. I'll buy the second round.
"Exactly" means the book looks like a novel to me. Many books look like novels, so "exactly" was a bit of a joke, and maybe it looks like non-fiction to someone else. My guess is, based on Wharton's preface, that she's not interested in the issue (mimicking non-fiction), and that there's little point in pursuing it too far. But it's hardly, then, something that she really thought through (as in, say, Pnin, where the frame is explored). Her use of the frame is expert but conventional. Merely.
Is Holden Caulfield writing the story? Or are we somehow overhearing it? Fictional Huck Finn is surely not writing but telling his story to a fictional Mark Twain. Again, I'm wandering off into something tangential I've been thinking about lately, whether or not these distinctions matter.
Mostly, they don't matter at all, do they? It's amazing how flexible we fiction readers are. Write it well and I'll swallow almost anything. Really, you didn't write this book, but are just publishing a manuscript discovered in a dusty old trunk? Sure, why not.
Really, you didn't write this book, but are just publishing a manuscript discovered in a dusty old trunk?
The novelist who best pulled this off was George MacDonald Fraser.
I think you've summed up Wharton's intention exactly, A.R., when you say that she is not interested in mimicking non-fiction.
Except that Ethan Frome is not exactly non-fiction either. It is a "story," a piece of gossip, really—a local legend—which is a "different story" each time it is told to the unnamed narrator.
My comparison of Wharton's narrator to Emily Brontë's Mr Lockwood was dead center. He is a dull and sober outsider who is repeating an amazing tale that he was told.
If Wharton is mimicking anything, then, it is Wuthering Heights.
I am an electrical engineer, a retired one whose retirement began long ago. That makes me old. Over the years I have hob-knobbed with hundreds of engineers, engineering managers and even the manager's managers. Some of them were educated, not in the last century, but the one before that. I venture not one of those hundred or so folks would describe the rigors of a New England February/March or personalize an apple orchard as Wharton's narrator does. Not on the first try. Not on the tenth try.
If the narrator's occupation were not known, but left to conjecture, how many readers would fashion him into an engineer vs how many would fancy him an author, and a rather poetic one at that, gathering, say, for his next novel.
So when Neilson observes that the narrator's thinking and writing is inconsistent with that of a scientific engineer from the managerial class, Neilson's thinking is right on. Or so say hundreds of my technical friends from the past whose thinking and writing I am and have been privy to.
Of course it is possible a technocrat could dish out prose as the narrator does, but it is not plausible as plausible implies a reasonable probability.
I venture not one of those hundred or so folks would describe the rigors of a New England February/March or personalize an apple orchard as Wharton's narrator does.
That's an interesting way to argue the case. How many of us have met anyone who can write fiction as brilliantly as Wharton?
I studied under Raymond Carver and Stanley Elkin, but they don't really count since I sought them out for their talent and reputation.
Among my friends and professional acquaintances? No one could ever write like Wharton. Not even close. Not on the first try. Not on the tenth try.
Does this prove that no one else can possibly write as well as Wharton?
I am bewildered. I returned to your site several times following your last posting and each time logged back off, wondering how the original issue was lost in the commentary. And at this point I'm beginning not to care. Whether Wharton is the best or the worst fiction writer of all time is irrelevant to me, and should be to everyone else, at least for this discussion. I thought the issue was whether Wharton's narrator, a technocrat of some sort, would carry the gift of expression as Wharton has assigned him. I believe the answer to that is a resounding "NO" and I base that on my experience of having listened to, and read reports from, a battery of power engineers whose birthdates range from the 1880s to more modern times.
I can certainly imagine there is/was an engineer so gifted as to fill the shoes of Wharton's narrator. I can imagine that. I can also imagine that Wharton's narrator, in filing a report on one of his problem solving missions for the Power Plant at Corbury Junction, would make reference to a burned cathode as "the charred and blackened fragments of a once proud pedestal, writhing in the searing rays of an August sun". I can imagine that. I can also imagine the narrator buying his own drinks at any subsequent Power Plant celebratory functions and sitting alone in some corner, barred from further advancement at his place of business.
The argument was a logical one. My question was about the force of your saying that you had never met any engineer who writes as well as Wharton's narrator. I was demonstrating that the claim proves nothing. I have never met anyone with Tourette's Syndrome who could play major league baseball, but it does not follow that such a thing would be implausible.
But the power engineer, a preternaturally gifted novelist (apparently), isn't repeating an amazing tale. He creates it from bits and pieces, from fragments. He puts them together, with the help of inspiration, which comes to him when, escaping a brutal winter night, he bivouacs at Frome's ramshackle house. That's why the last sentence of the intro-frame reads thusly: "It was that night that I found the clue to Ethan Frome, and began to put together this vision of his story." And what a vision it is!
A distinction without a difference. Both narrators are reconstructing local gossip, not creating a story out of whole cloth.
"I admit that I didn't pay too much attention to the narrator when I was reading the book. Mostly because I found nothing wrong with him. He was a seamless transition between me and Ethan Frome's life. I was conscious, though, that he was a conduit. And as someone who was predisposed -- groomed, I daresay, by the author -- to be an observer, someone basically distant from the history of the town: He was every reader who'd open the pages of Ethan Frome. He delivered the story. I give him his stylistic tendencies -- he is still, after all, the product of an author's imagination; he's essentially been manipulated to tell the story the best way it can be told. [The narrator-author dynamic, augh, my head.]"
Basically, I didn't mind. Unnamed Narrator liked his prose fluid and beautiful, and that's part of what makes Ethan Frome a wonderful book, in my opinion. He was the perfect lens and frame through which we could know about Ethan's life and disappointments.
That said, a digression of sorts on the question of authenticity: A Filipino author -- realist, often gritty -- has this tendency [a signature?] of giving the best lines of dialogue to the household help characters in his stories. They wax lyrical, midwives go philosophical. It ought to be jarring, but the author, he knows what he's doing.

A Pragmatic and Proactive Approach to Regaining Control of Your Data
While most corporations have bought into the concept of IG, in practice it remains ethereal and abstract, with very little consistency from person to person in how it is managed, and most importantly, how it can be operationalised. As a result of this, there are often a lot of false starts.
The massive volumes and types of data in today's corporations put a strain on legal and IT budgets, and further complicate organisational risk. There is little sign of any relief, as the International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts the world's data will grow by 50 times within the next decade.
On top of this, the rising incidence and frequency of data breaches, emerging laws including the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the impending impact of Brexit, give a clear indication that companies are facing a rising tide of data challenges – one that is spreading beyond the purview of the IT department alone.
IG is defined by Gartner as "The specification of decision rights and an accountability framework to ensure appropriate behaviour in the valuation, creation, storage, use, archiving and deletion of information. It includes the processes, roles and policies, standards and metrics that ensure the effective and efficient use of information in enabling an organisation to achieve its goals".

FlowerTimer is a very simple yet effective Arduino project. Barbara (Headroom) created a timer for Pilates classes. During the course of an hour, the RGB LED changes color continuously, going from red to green to blue to red, and, thus, demonstrating the full-range of possible color combinations. When the flower turns red again, the Pilates class is finished.
This is also a cheap gift for your Valentine, using Arduino, RGB leds and flowers.


March 5, 2014, 9:33 a.m.
A top Pentagon official on Wednesday distanced himself from an earlier comment that the department's shift in focus to the Asia-Pacific region can't happen.
Defense News reported McFarland's comments, which tied the current budget crunch to the U.S.'s Asia-Pacific refocus.
Adm. Samuel Locklear III, the commander for the U.S. Pacific Command, said he "wouldn't completely agree with it," when asked about the comment at a House Armed Services subcommittee hearing Wednesday on the Pentagon's fiscal 2015 budget request.
But he did say that while his command is moving forward with the shift, future budgets will play a role.
"The real question is whether or not the force that Congress will eventually buy is it adequate for the security environment," Locklear said, noting that the shift in focus to the Asia-Pacific stretches beyond only the Defense Department.


I am seriously anticipating Days of Blood and Starlight, the sequel to Daughter of Smoke and Bone, especially when Laini Taylor is making such blog posts and further Russo-inspired YA like Shadow and Bone (which is so absolutely stunning) is making my wanderlust for Eastern Europe worse. Likewise, Meagan Spooner's upcoming debut, Skylark, is very exciting. I'm actually on the official blog tour, so watch this space for a uber awesome interview with the loverly lady. And I know you're thinking Nina, honey, you must be a month behind because Timepiece is already out! Well, the HSC is doing horrible things to my mind and the few torturous months that was between my finally reading Hourglass and its sequel's release just flew by! I ordered it off Book Depository as soon as I figured out it was out and leaving it on my desk will motivate my through my Trial exams, hopefully!
You are all quite aware of my self-professed geekiness, which we all know has been demonstrated time and time again with my gushing over my superheroes. Some of you were witness to my near breakdowns in the weeks before the Avengers (which I still cannot articulate about to any extent), and lo and behold, we are here again. Batman, my sweetheart, the central force in my childhood, is coming to a close in Nolan's universe with the Dark Knight Rises, and it is a sad, sad day for all cinephile-superhero-crazies. I don't know if I can afford the midnight session of this, and I've already had to scrap the nine-hour trilogy session at the theatre. (Damn you, HSC! DAMN YOU!) Anyway. My initial Marc-Webb related anxieties has fizzled away into gosh-EStoner-Garfield-aren't-you-wonderbar-ness and I shall be seeing The Amazing Spiderman next Tuesday! So, whoopee!
Now, my final high school year and the HSC is nearing its final legs, and with that comes university applications and Open Days and a whole lot of people changing the default question of "How's school?" to "What are you doing next year?" All I know is that I'll either be at UTS or at Sydney, doing one Communications degree or the other. I actually cannot for the life of me figure out which one. If you have an opinion on the matter, please, feel free to voice it. I could do with all the advice - all of it!
How about you? What's been on your mind this week? Any releases you're anticipating? Anything you've watched or read lately? How are you feeling?
Thanks, I definitely need it.
I saw Brave on Tuesday and enjoyed it (mother/daughter story - powerful) and recently finished the Millenium book trilogy and those were amazing despite crime fiction not often featuring on my reading list.
And how are you? :) Sorry that I can't provide any insight into which Communications degree you should choose, but I can relate with the stage where everyone's first question is "so what're your plans for the future?"
I've never read the Percy Jackson books, though my brother is well and truly devoted to them. He's pretty psyched for the new releases. I think I'm going to see Brave next week with my little cousin - good to hear it's good. And I ADORE the Millennium trilogy.
It's okay, my love. Not many people have really given me advice as to which one I should choose. I'm going to have to be really switched on at those Open Days. And get a high enough mark to get in. Fingers crossed.

I'm Local Guide Jackie | The Best Professional Beijing Tour Guides.
I'm from Hebei province and studied English in University. Although I studied a western language in school, I have always been particularly interested in traditional Chinese culture, including concepts like Yin and Yang, Eastern medicine, and Tai Chi. If you want to tour around Beijing while learn about Chinese ancient philosophy and spirituality, I am the best fit amongst all the Beijing tour guides.
One highlight in my past experiences is that I have received formal and intense training of Meihua Quan, which is a famous style of hand-to-hand combat in traditional Wushu and stems from Northern China's tradition of mixing religion with martial arts. I also received advanced Tai Chi training under Chan— One of the world's leading Taichi masters. There are less than 5 experts who follow his specific form of Tai Chi in the world and I'm one of them.
When I tour my guests along the Great Wall, I will also lead sessions of Tai Chi if they want some exposure to the ancient art of exercise and energy. Practicing Tai Chi is a great way to smooth out your "Qi" and start or end your day. Many visitors have mentioned that learning Tai Chi with me is the most unforgettable part of their trip to Beijing. If you are interested in Tai Chi and want to learn about a new way to find balance and peace in your life, then I hope you will join me on a tour!

I want to use a facing and a side image of a face to recreate it in CC.
I only played around with it once so I'm quite a novice on how to use the software.
All I can find is CT8 tutorials but nothing for CC.
Where I can learn how to do that?
Hi Dragonskunk ... I get the impression that the 'current' way of taking a photo-image and translating it to an avatar head is by using CrazyTalk 8 Pipeline.
This *may* have been possible in other ways in the past.
You can use iClone 7 for G3 to G5 characters, but not for G6 and not for CC-Avatars.
CC is an App for creating 3D characters, according to the Reallusion logic 3D characters do not have heads - unless you purchase then directly from RL. If you wish to create a head to use in this 3D character creation software then you will first have to purchase a 2D software package, conveniently marketed by the same RL who do not provide this feature in their 3D software. For that reason there are no tutorials available for creating 3D heads in CC.
I don't want to translate it into an avatar, I just want to use reference images placed on its side and front to edit an existing 3D character to look like the image.
I've seen it before, other user on this forum have created look alikes characters for iClone using CC.
There was one user that demonstrated how to create a head using an image overlay program in CC, but I can't remember the name or where to find the video.
This is what I don't want.
I don't want to edit textures, I don't want to use external software to edit the geometry.
I'm speaking strictly about shaping the face in CC, the chin is this long the eye are this far apart, etc. based on photos I can overlay in CC.
I just want to know how to overlay images in CC. Nothing else.
Please refer to the thread below. This has some tips on using overlays.

January 7th: Saturday's Football Accumulator – 5/1
Tom Dunstan in Betting Tips and News, Editorial, Football Accumulators 5 Jan 2023
With the FA Cup taking center stage this weekend, we have a string of interesting affairs from across England on Saturday. So, for those of you looking to place a weekend flutter, we have taken a look at a few showdowns that are worth keeping an eye out for.
Saturday January 7th
BST 15:00 Blyth vs King's Lynn
While King's Lynn might have lost their fifth-tier status last season, Saturday's guests have their sights firmly set on securing an immediate National League return this year. Last seen opening 2023 with another rugged display as they clinched a 2-1 victory at home against Boston, Tommy Widdrington's men now hold a commanding eight-point buffer from slipping out of the play-off spots. Collecting nine points from their last four National League South matchups and smelling another golden chance this weekend, the Linnets have also lost just a pair of their previous 11 sixth-tier showdowns. With that run stemming all the way back to September 27th, the Norfolk-based outfit should also be excited by a rampant record against Saturday's opponents. Including a 2-0 victory when they last faced off against Blyth back on August 13th, King's Lynn have won each of their last three meetings by an aggregate score of 8-0. With the Spartans putting in another worrying display on New Year's Day, Graham Fenton's men find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. Already sat six points adrift of safety, this weekend's hosts have lost each of their four matchups across all formats and have shown some glaring issues at the back. With that rut highlighted by a 5-0 drumming at the hands of York last month, it should be noted that Fenton's downbeat squad have shipped 11 strikes on their four-match losing run. Given the recent gulf in class, we're backing an away victory here.
Tip: King's Lynn win @ 4/5
17:30 Brentford vs West Ham
Opening the New Year with another famous display in west London, Brentford are enjoying what has been quite the purple patch. Eventually clinching a rampant 3-1 victory at home against Liverpool and gaining a string of plaudits, Thomas Frank's side should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Heading into the World Cup's winter break with a remarkable 2-1 win away at defending champions Manchester City on November 12th, the Bees are now unbeaten on Premier League duties since the end of October. Skyrocketing their way up the table and with a top-half finish within their grasp in 2023, Saturday's hosts will be looking to extend on their FA Cup adventure here. Claiming a deserved 2-0 victory when they made the trip to the London Stadium last week, Brentford also hold a stellar record against West Ham. In fact, winning all three of their previous meetings against the Hammers, Frank's side should be looking to once again cash in on their London rivals. While David Moyes' men might have snatched a 2-2 draw away at Leeds earlier in the week, they now find themselves at the heart of a real bottom-three scrap. Remarkably claiming just a single point from any of their previous six Premier League appearances, there is a huge amount of pressure on the one-time Manchester United boss. Hit with that 2-0 loss when they welcomed Brentford across the capital on December 30th, a home draw no bet can be found at appealing odds here.
Tip: Brentford draw no bet @ 20/21
17:30 Luton Town vs Wigan
While Luton might have endured somewhat of a minor blip before heading into the World Cup break, the Hatters have certainly come roaring back. Opening the New Year by snatching a late 2-1 victory away at Huddersfield, Saturday's hosts have now won each of their last three Championship matchups. With that run underlined by another eye-catching 2-1 win against promotion contenders Norwich on Boxing Day, Rob Edwards' men are also enjoying quite the free-scoring flurry. Along with signing off 2022 with a 3-0 romp away at QPR, the ex-Watford boss has seen his side muster seven strikes on their three-match winning run. Looking to extend on their FA Cup adventure this weekend, Luton have also continued to shine with their rugged performances on home soil. In fact, the Whites are unbeaten in each of their previous eight appearances at Kenilworth Road – a run that stems all the way back to September 3rd. With their sights set on clinching another famous play-off spot this season, Edwards' side should be relishing Wigan's arrival on Saturday evening. On what has become a remarkable nightmare for the Latics, Kolo Toure's side have now lost each of their last three consecutive Championship matchups by a 4-1 scoreline. Sat rock-bottom of the table and freefalling towards an immediate League One return, the ex-Arsenal defender has seen his side muster just a single win across any format since way back on October 11th.
Tip: Luton win @ 4/5
Our Saturday Accumulator:
Blyth vs King's Lynn – King's Lynn win @ 4/5
Brentford vs West Ham – Brentford draw no bet @ 20/21
Luton Town vs Wigan – Luton Town win @ 4/5

Carrière en club

Né dans le quartier londonien de Wandsworth, Kyle Sinckler commence le rugby à l'âge de huit ans au Battersea Ironsides RFC. Il fait ses études à la Graveney School de Tooting où le rugby n'est pas pratiqué puis au Epsom college dans le Surrey. C'est lors d'un match avec Battersea à l'âge de 12 ans qu'il est repéré par le responsable du centre de formation des Harlequins Collin Osborne.

Formé au Harlequins, il joue son premier match avec l'équipe senior du club le  lors d'une victoire  contre Gloucester en championnat d'Angleterre. Entré en jeu comme remplaçant, il ne joue néanmoins que cinq minutes. Il joue encore un match avec les Harlequins lors de la saison 2011-2012 avant d'être prêté à Richmond qu'il aide à obtenir la montée en National league one.

Il retrouve les Harlequins pour la saison 2012-2013 avec qui il dispute sept matchs. Lors de cette saison, il connait son premier match en Coupe d'Europe le  lors d'une large victoire  contre les Zebre. Il est prêté aux Ealing Trailfinders au début de la saison 2013-2014 mais est rapidement rappelé par son club à la suite de la blessure de Paul Doran-Jones. C'est lors de cette saison qu'il obtient sa première titularisation avec le club londonien, le  contre Gloucester, et une place régulière dans la rotation.

Carrière internationale

Il est reconduit en équipe d'Angleterre pour la saison 2012-2013 mais ne dispute que trois matchs du Tournoi des Six Nations en raison de son engagement avec les Harlequins.

Le , Sinckler est sélectionné avec l'équipe d'Angleterre senior pour un match non officiel contre les Barbarians. Il est titulaire lors du match le  juin qui se solde par une défaite anglaise 39-29.

Il ne connait toutefois aucune cape lors de cette tournée.

Il est appelé en équipe d'Angleterre le  par le nouveau sélectionneur Eddie Jones pour un camp d'entrainement de trois jours mais n'est toutefois pas retenu pour la tournée en Australie qui suit. Il connait finalement sa première cape le  lors d'un match à Twickenham contre l'Afrique du Sud.

It's April Fools', but don't drive too fast to pull off pranks on coworkers, as the National Weather Service cautions commuters of slippery roads.
April Fools' Day offers Vermont and New York slick roads during the morning commute.

Cities included in the statement are Plattsburgh, Deannemora, Burlington, Montpelier, Vergennes, Bristol, Killington, Middlebury, Stowe, Ticonderoga, Lake Placid and South Hero.
The service indicated Sunday's warmer conditions, snowfall during the night and "sharply falling temperatures" is responsible for black ice Monday morning.

Metal roofing is known for its durability, but now metal shingles, manufactured to look like fish scales, can provide an elegant as well as long-lasting look, especially when used on gable, steep mansard or fascia roofs. These metal roofing shingles are typically pre-finished, and can come in a variety of colors and finishes. Some also come with a 20-year warranty. The shingles, whose fastening areas are concealed (unlike traditional metal roofs), are often Energy Star compliant.
