I seem to encounter this problem that is getting on my nerves When i use the scenery editor to put parked airplanes i put 0% fuel and 0% knots.But when i start the game they are not moving but when i start to move the have white circles that say -whatever speed i am going and manage to blow up by themselves. for example if i am traveling 140 knots on the runway on the planes it says -140 knots and blow up. ALL I WANT IS PARKED AIRPLANES like how did the creator of the Hongkong map do it right?
Adding airplanes to a map is a little different than the method you described. What you put into the map was user-controlable-airplanes. This means that they can (theoretically) move, even if their initial (what you defined in scenery editor) conditions area all zero. AI is funny like that.
What Taiwan (the creator of the Hong Kong map) did was just place ground objects in the map that are shaped as Airplanes. If you want them to move (taxi around) you need to put them on a motion path.
If you want to reverse-engineer how other people made their maps, open the map up in Scenery Editor.
I have a massive tutorial guide for scenery editor that covers nearly everything about map making. It should be published very soon and I recommend you read it when it is.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. I hope that you will take the time to introduce yourself and become a part of the community. It sounds like you've been playing with scenery Editor a bit, and I encourage you to get involved with map making and other parts of YSFHQ.
You are using the wrong kind of plane you need to use parked ground objects for this.If you have parked ground objects installed in you ground folder.Say TF58s ground object these will work better than Ysflight aircraft if you want them static.There are no stock parked aircraft.So you will have to down load some from here to use as ground objects look for Task Force 58s Edwards scenery as he has a good cross section of military and civilian parked planes.
So no, guys, it is possible to make actual aircraft that are parked.
Mind you, the description of the issue is a tad confusing. If the number by the circle says -yourspeed, then the aircraft is stationary. Not sure why it's exploding. Do you have collision turned on?

Reggie White
White, Reggie 1961–
Reggie White 1961–
Professional football player, minister, philanthropist
"Minister of Defense"
Began NFL Career with the Philadelphia Eagles
A Leader On and Off the Field
Joined the Green Bay Packers
For almost a decade, Reggie White has dominated the National Football League (NFL) as one of its most ferocious defensive players. White, who has never been seriously injured, has struck terror into many an offense with his strength, speed, stamina, and ability to size up situations for maximum impact. Former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan once called White the "perfect defensive lineman…probably the most gifted defensive athlete I've ever been around." Curiously enough, White's singular gift for mayhem begins and ends on the football field. The rest of his time is spent pursuing humanitarian work inspired by his deep Christian faith.
In 1993 White became the best-paid defensive player in football history when he signed a four-year, $17 million contract with the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay was one of a half dozen teams that bid quite openly for White's services when the player became an unrestricted free agent after the 1992-93 football season. Joining the Packers for the 1993 season, White left behind good will in Philadelphia, where he played for the Eagles through eight seasons. Philadelphia Daily News correspondent Ray Didinger called White "a man who made a giant impact… a symbol of hope, for the Eagles and for the city in general." Didinger added: "White is more than just a superb football player. He is an ordained Baptist minister whose tireless work in the community touched thousands of lives. He is a man who always wore his heart on his extra-long sleeve."
Reggie White was born and raised in Tennessee. He went to college there—at the University of Tennessee—and he still calls the state home. As a child he lived in Chattanooga, where he was raised by his mother and his grandparents. The family was deeply religious. They attended the local Baptist church regularly, and as a youngster White was inspired by the ministers and teachers he met there. He did not undergo a single, charismatic experience of faith, but rather found his ties to Christianity growing stronger over the entire period of his youth. His mother, Thelma Collier, told Sports Illustrated that when he was 12 years old he announced that he wanted to be two things: a football player and a minister.
Football was a welcome outlet for a young Christian who was teased and goaded by bullies. "When I was a child, I was always bigger than the other kids," White told Sports Illustrated. "Kids used to call me Bigfoot or Land of the Giant. They'd tease me and run away. Around seventh grade, I found something I was good at. I could play football, and I could use

my size and achieve success by playing within the rules. I remember telling my mother that someday I would be a professional football player and I'd take care of her for the rest of her life."
White's strength and size indeed seemed to be God-given. He never lifted weights or conditioned himself rigorously, but he was always in shape. At Howard High School in Chattanooga, he played both football and basketball, earning All-America honors in football and all-state honors in basketball. Numerous colleges recruited him, but he chose to stay near home and enrolled at the University of Tennessee, whose team, the Volunteers, were glad to have him. He was a talented and determined athlete who spent his Sundays preaching sermons in churches all over the state. As a senior in 1983, he was a consensus All-American and one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award given annually to the outstanding college lineman. (He did not win.)
During his years with the Volunteers, White earned the nickname "minister of defense." The named followed him into his professional career, which began in 1984.
For a while it appeared that Reggie White might never leave Tennessee. After graduating from college he signed a five-year, $4 million contract with the Memphis Showboats, one of the teams in the fledgling United States Football League (USFL). The USFL began as an alternative league for cities starved for professional football action. From the outset it was dwarfed by the better-known, better-staffed National Football League, and soon the upstart teams foundered financially. White viewed this financial instability with concern. He also wanted to prove himself against the best players in the game. He began the 1985 season with the USFL but defected to the Philadelphia Eagles. With his wife, Sara—whom he had met in church—he ventured north to join the NFL.
White took a salary cut in Philadelphia. The Eagles signed him to a four-year, $1.85 million deal after buying out the remaining three years on his Memphis contract. At the time White was still an unproven entity, but his anonymity did not last long. He joined the Eagles after the 1985 season had begun, missing the first few games. When he finally did start, he made ten tackles and two-and-a-half sacks in his very first game. By season's end he had turned in 13 sacks in as many games, and he was named NFC defensive rookie of the year.
The citizens of Philadelphia soon discovered that they had won the services of more than just a star athlete. "I believe that I've been blessed with physical ability in order to gain a platform to preach the gospel," White told Sports Illustrated. "A lot of people look at athletes as role models, and to be successful as an athlete, I've got to do what I do, hard but fair.… I try to live a certain way, and maybe that'll have some kind of effect. I think God has allowed me to have an impact on a few people's lives." White spent hours and hours of his spare time preaching on street corners in Philadelphia's troubled inner-city neighborhoods. He gave money to dozens of Christian outreach organizations and spoke as a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. And he led by example. In the rough-and-tumble world of professional football, none of his opponents or teammates could ever recall hearing him curse or seeing him fight.
White blossomed in 1986 with the arrival of Buddy Ryan as the Eagles' head coach. Ryan had made a name for himself as a defensive coordinator and had worked with some great lines, including the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings. Quickly Ryan assessed White's potential and built the defense around him. Opponents tried to double- and triple-team White, but still he achieved more than 11 quarterback sacks each season. In his first season under Ryan, he made 18 sacks in 16 games. He was also named Most Valuable Player at the annual Pro Bowl after sacking the opposing quarterback four times in that game. In 1987 he led the league with an NFC-record 21 sacks, and most certainly would have broken the all-time record had the season not been shortened by a players' strike.
That players' strike—a particularly bitter one—saw White emerge as a team leader. As one of the team-voted union representatives, White worked hard to keep his fellow Eagles united in the face of "replacement" teams and fan apathy. Didinger wrote in the Philadelphia Daily News: "One of the more memorable images of that [1987] season was White wearing a picket sign and blocking a bus loaded with replacement players as it attempted to pull into a South Jersey hotel.…[White] spoke loudly and passionately about the need for the veterans to stick together. Other teams broke ranks: the Eagles never did."
The hard feelings between White and the Eagles' front office probably began to develop during this strike season, intensifying as the years passed, but White's continued dominance on the field allayed any talk of trade or release. In 1988 he led the NFL in sacks for the second straight year. Between 1989 and 1991 he was joined on the defensive line by several equally ferocious teammates, including Clyde Simmons, Seth Joyner, and Jerome Brown. This potent defense—with White still as anchor—was widely considered the best in pro football by 1991.
Observers marveled at the way White roared into every play of every game without ever seeming tired or distracted. White told Sports Illustrated: "In high school and college you're taught to hit the ground on a double team. Here you're expected to take it on. I get double-teamed on every play, so I expect it. Sacks are great, and they get you elected to the Pro Bowl. But I've always felt that a great defensive lineman has to play the run and the pass equally well.…The so-called men of the game pride themselves on being complete players."
In 1989 White signed a four-year, $6.1 million contract that made him the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL at the time. The deal came at the tail end of considerable acrimony between White and the Eagles ownership and management. Didinger described the relationship between White and the Eagles' brass, headed by owner Norman Braman: "They split on so many issues—the 1987 players' strike, the [1990] firing of head coach Buddy Ryan, the [1992] loss of free agent Keith Jackson—that in the end they had nothing to build on. There was no trust, no goodwill to serve as the foundation for constructive talks." Although he continued to play at the top of his game under new Eagles coach Rich Kotite, White became privately convinced that owner Braman was not pursuing a championship with any great vigor.
As the end of his 1989 contract approached, White grew more and more critical of Braman and his decisions. In the press White suggested that the Eagles' training facilities were inadequate. White spoke of the growing chasm between Braman and the Eagles players, using his own chilly relations with the owner as an example. Not surprisingly, White became one of the plaintiffs in a 1992 lawsuit against the NFL ownership to enlarge the powers of free agency.
Unrestricted free agency descended upon the NFL officially on March 1, 1993. Reggie White quickly became the most visible—and sought-after—unrestricted free agent. His contract with the Eagles had expired, and although he claimed that he would not mind staying in Philadelphia, he was not tendered another offer there. Instead he flew to Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Green Bay, New York City, and Washington, D.C., as an all-out war for his services erupted. Everywhere he went he was courted not only by team owners, management, and player personnel, but also by ordinary citizens who had heard about his community work and his Christian ethics. During his visits, White noted that in 16 years as a football player he had never been in a top championship game, and he wanted especially to go to a Super Bowl with a hungry team. "This is a great position to be in," he admitted in Sports Illustrated as he was feted in grand style in Cleveland.
Finally White signed with Green Bay. The Packers' offer was the most generous financially, with a guaranteed $17 million over four years. The new contract once again made White the best-paid defender in NFL history and a pioneer in the heady new world of unrestricted free agent contracts. "Hopefully, my career can be rejuvenated," White told Jet magazine as he held his new Packers jersey aloft. Since he is past thirty—an old man by NFL standards—White will almost certainly end his playing career in Green Bay.
White's other career—carrying the gospel of Christ to those in need—will last his entire life. He plans a ghetto ministry in Wisconsin while he plays for the Packers. He and his wife have built Hope Place, a shelter for unwed mothers, on property near their home in rural Tennessee; they have also founded the Alpha & Omega Ministry, which will sponsor a community development bank in Knoxville. "I'm trying to build up black people's morale, self-confidence and self-reliance to show them that the Jesus I'm talking about is real," White explained in Ebony.
Although he has taken a hiatus from the pulpit in order to learn more about the art of preaching, White has continued his missionary work among teenaged gang members, abused children, and young women seeking an alternative to abortion. Hope Place alone has received more than a half million dollars from White, who also tithes a good portion of his NFL income to several Baptist churches. Reflecting on his work in the Philadelphia Daily News, the "minister of defense" concluded: "The Bible says, Faith without works is dead.' That is just another way of saying: 'Put your money where your mouth is.'"
The Green Bay Packers advanced to the second-round divisional playoffs at the end of the 1993-94 season but were knocked out of Super Bowl contention by a loss to the Dallas Cowboys. That left White with three more years on his record-breaking contract with Green Bay—and three more seasons to help take his team to the championships.

White, Reggie
Football player, minister, philanthropist
For a decade and a half, Reggie White dominated the National Football League as one of its most ferocious defensive players. White habitually struck terror into opposing offenses with his great strength, but he also possessed speed, stamina, and the ability to size up situations for maximum impact. Former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan once called White the "perfect defensive lineman…probably the most gifted defensive athlete I've ever been around." After eight seasons with the Eagles, in 1993 White signed a four-year, $17-million contract with the Green Bay Packers; it was an unprecedented amount for a defensive player. Upon his retirement from the NFL in 2001, White was credited with a record 198 career sacks; he had been named to the Pro Bowl an impressive 13 times in succession (although he failed to play in 1994 due to injury). In 1999, the Green Bay Packers retired White's jersey number (92) after his retirement from that team.
Loved His Tennessee Home
Reginald Howard White was born and raised in Tennessee. He went to college there—at the University of Tennessee—and he called that state home his entire life. As a child he lived in Chattanooga, where he was raised by his mother and his grandparents. The family was deeply religious. They attended the local Baptist church regularly, and as a youngster White was inspired by the ministers and teachers he met there. He did not undergo a single, charismatic experience of faith, but rather found his ties to Christianity growing stronger over the entire period of his youth.

During his years with the Volunteers, White earned the nickname "minister of defense." The named followed him into his professional career, which began in 1984.
Jumped from USFL to NFL
White took a salary cut in Philadelphia. The Eagles signed him to a four-year, $1.85 million deal after buying out the remaining three years on his Memphis contract. At the time White was still an unproven entity, but his anonymity did not last long. He joined the Eagles after the 1985 season had begun, missing the first few games. When he finally did start, he made ten tackles and two-and-a-half sacks in his very first game. By season's end he had turned in 13 sacks in as many games, and he was named NFC defensive rookie of the year.
Curiously enough, White's singular gift for mayhem began and ended on the gridiron during his 15-year career with the NFL. The rest of his time was always been spent in pursuing humanitarian work inspired by his deep Christian faith. The citizens of Philadelphia soon discovered that they had won the services of more than just a star athlete. "I believe that I've been blessed with physical ability in order to gain a platform to preach the gospel," White told Sports Illustrated. "A lot of people look at athletes as role models, and to be successful as an athlete, I've got to do what I do, hard but fair.… I try to live a certain way, and maybe that'll have some kind of effect.

Emerged as Team Leader
That players' strike—a particularly bitter one—saw White emerge as a team leader. As one of the team-voted union representatives, White worked hard to keep his fellow Eagles united in the face of "replacement" teams and fan apathy. Didinger wrote in the Philadelphia Daily News : "One of the more memorable images of that 1987 season was White wearing a picket sign and blocking a bus loaded with replacement players as it attempted to pull into a South Jersey hotel.… [White] spoke loudly and passionately about the need for the veterans to stick together.

Although he continued to play at the top of his game under new Eagles coach Rich Kotite, White became privately convinced that owner Braman was not pursuing a championship with any great vigor.

White spoke of the growing chasm between Braman and the Eagles players, using his own chilly relations with the owner as an example. Not surprisingly, White became one of the plaintiffs in a 1992 lawsuit against the NFL ownership to enlarge the powers of free agency.
Joined the Packers
Unrestricted free agency descended upon the NFL officially on March 1, 1993. Reggie White quickly became the most visible—-and sought-after—-unrestricted free agent after the 1992-93 football season. His contract with the Eagles had expired, and although he claimed that he would not mind staying in Philadelphia, he was not tendered another offer there. As it happened, Green Bay was one of a half dozen teams that bid quite openly for White's services at that time. He flew to Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Green Bay, New York City, and Washington, D.C., as an all-out war erupted to sign the powerful defensive end. Everywhere he went he was courted not only by team owners, management, and player personnel, but also by ordinary citizens who had heard about his community work and his Christian ethics. In the end, White signed with Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers. The Packers' offer was the most generous financially, with guaranteed earnings of $17 million over four years. Under the contract White became the most highly paid defender in the NFL and a pioneer in the heady new world of unrestricted free agent contracts.
Joining the Packers for the 1993 season, White left behind good will in Philadelphia, where he played for the Eagles through eight seasons. Philadelphia Daily News correspondent Ray Didinger called White "a man who made a giant impact…a symbol of hope, for the Eagles and for the city in general." Didinger added: "White is more than just a superb football player. He is an ordained Baptist minister whose tireless work in the community touched thousands of lives. He is a man who always wore his heart on his extra-long sleeve."
During his years with the Eagles, White had was named annually to play in the Pro Bowl beginning in 1986; he continued the tradition during his years with Green Bay through 1998, to realize the longest consecutive run of Pro Bowl participation on record. When the Packers won the world championship at the Super Bowl in 1997, White set a Super Bowl game record with three quarterback sacks. The Associated Press named White the defensive player of the year for the second time in his career after the 1998 season, and he announced his retirement soon afterward in 1999. Green Bay honored White's retirement by retiring his jersey number, which was 92, and he spent one year out of football and involved in his ministry.
White returned for one final season in the NFL, lured from retirement for the 2000 season by the Carolina Panthers who paid him one million dollars for the effort. He retired for the second time at the end of that season, leaving behind an NFL record of 198 career sacks after 15 seasons of play. White was voted by the NFL Hall of Fame to the NFL All-time Team in 2000.
Retired to Ministry
White's other career—carrying the gospel of Christ to those in need—will last his entire life. He and his wife built Hope Place, a shelter for unwed mothers, on property near their home in rural Tennessee; they also founded the Alpha & Omega Ministry to sponsor a community development bank in Knoxville. "I'm trying to build up black people's morale, self-confidence and self-reliance to show them that the Jesus I'm talking about is real," White explained in Ebony.
One of the most trying moments in White's career in the ministry came in 1996, when his church was burnt to the ground, one of dozens of black churches torched throughout the South in a string of hate crimes. Throughout the off-season that year, White badgered investigators to discover the arsonist, lobbied lawmakers—including then vice president Al Gore of Tennessee—to speak out against racial violence, and raised money to help his and other black churches throughout the nation. In addition to this work, White pursued missionary work among teenaged gang members, abused children, and young women seeking an alternative to abortion. He also tithed a good portion of his NFL income to several Baptist churches. Reflecting on his work in the Philadelphia Daily News, the "minister of defense" concluded: "The Bible says, 'Faith without works is dead.' That is just another way of saying: 'Put your money where your mouth is.'"
White's life work came to an untimely end on December 26, 2004, when he was rushed to the hospital for what was termed a respiratory illness and soon pronounced dead. According to Jet, family spokesman Keith Johnson stated that White's death "was not only unexpected, but it was also a complete surprise. Reggie wasn't a sick man…he was vibrant. He had lots and lots of energy, lots of passion." In his local church and across the NFL, friends, former players, and fans of White spoke of their sadness at his passing. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue issued a statement which read in part: "Reggie White was a gentle warrior who will be remembered as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history. Equally as impressive as his achievements on the field was the positive impact he made off the field and the way he served as a positive influence on so many young people."

American football player
Defensive end Reggie White, known as the "Minister of Defense," was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1987 and 1988. He was a Pro Bowl player 13 consecutive seasons from 1986 to 1998 and he is football's career sacks leader with 68½. In 1997 and 1998, he helped take the Green Bay Packers to the Super Bowl, coming away with a victory in Super Bowl XXXI. A devoutly religious man, White has been as controversial off the field as he was tremendous in the huddle.
A Football Player and a Minister
White grew up in the housing projects of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was raised by his mother; he barely knew his father, but his mother remarried and White's stepfather helped raise him. When he was 12, White told his mother that he wanted to be a football player and a minister. He attended a Baptist church and
began preaching at age 17. He combined his religious fervor with a drive to compete and a gift of athletic talent; he was an All-American player in his senior season at the University of Tennessee, and then spent two years playing with the Memphis Showboats of the United States Football League (USFL). In 1985, he joined the Philadelphia Eagles. In 1992, White was ordained as a nondenominational minister.
White played with the Philadelphia Eagles for eight seasons. In every one of those seasons he recorded double-digit sack numbers, with a high of 21 in 1987. He became one of the most feared players in the NFL and a nightmare to quarterbacks, averaging 15.5 sacks per season. White and his wife, Sara, were also deeply involved in a ministry in the housing projects of north Philadelphia. White, Sara, and some of White's Eagles teammates often spent Friday nights in the projects, and on weekdays, White often went back to lead Bible studies, to volunteer at church councils, and to assist at fundraising events.
In 1993, White was eligible to be a free-agent. Many NFL teams joined in the bidding for the superstar defensive lineman. When Norman Braman, owner of the Eagles, refused to pay White the salary he wanted in order to prevent him from leaving as a free agent, thousands of fans rallied to try and convince Braman to pay. He wouldn't, and at a farewell luncheon, White cried as over 300 fans gave him a lengthy standing ovation. Finally, he said tearfully, "I didn't give up on the Eagles. It seems as though the Eagles gave up on me," according to Johnette Howard in Sports Illustrated.
After leaving the Eagles, White set out on a seven-city tour, lasting 37 days, looking for a position. He wanted to go to a contending team, but it had to be a team where he could continue his inner-city ministry. However, when the Green Bay Packers—then a mediocre team, and a team based in the smallest city in the league—offered him a four-year, $17-millon contract, White accepted. Braman, hearing of this, scoffed at White's decision, saying, according to Howard, that it "wasn't made by a ghetto or by God. It was going to be made for the reason most human beings make decisions today, money." The comment troubled White, who did not like his integrity to be questioned. He told Howard, "How dare he speak for what was in my heart? He doesn't know me."
Packers fans, however, were delighted to have White on the team. Almost 2,000 of them attended his first day of training camp. The year before, the Packers had had a 9-7 season, but White was hopeful about great days for the team in the future.
In 1993, the Packers were 9-7 again, but won a playoff game. The team's defense, which had ranked 23rd the year before, finished second in the league. Coach Mike Holmgren told Howard that White was the reason: "Reggie has changed everything—the way we play, the other team's offensive scheme."
In 1995, the Packers advanced all the way to the NFC Championship Game, which they lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 38-27. On the plane home, Howard reported, White told Holmgren, "Coach, I've never been this far. I just want to thank you."
In the locker room, White, nicknamed "the Minister of Defense," was known for giving advice to younger players, as well as for his habit of calling player meetings; safety LeRoy Butler told Howard, "He calls more meetings than Congress." Butler also noted that during their shared rides to practice, White would only listen to gospel music. Another teammate, tight end Keith Jackson, commented on White's tendency to see every event as a divine message, saying, "The walk with God that Reggie has is almost, you know, scary." His choice to join the Packers came after a night of prayer, asking for guidance. "And the Lord spoke to me," he told Howard. One factor in his decision might have been the fact that Holmgren called and left a message on his machine, saying, "Reggie, this is God. Go to Green Bay," according to Paul Attner in the Sporting News.
When White sustained an elbow injury in 1994, a thigh bruise in 1995, and a hamstring injury in 1995, he believed God had healed him. He almost missed the 1995 playoffs because of the hamstring injury, but it healed in time for him to play. On the field, he often ruthlessly knocked over opponents during play, but once a play was over, he helped them up, saying "Jesus loves you."
A Church Burning
In addition to playing football, White became an associate pastor at an evangelical church in an inner-city area of Knoxville, Tennessee. With a congregation of about 450, the church focused on community development; members rebuilt condemned houses for resale to low-income people, and also built homes that low-income people could afford. The church also ran an AM radio station with religious programming, and planned to create a daycare center. White donated $1 million to the project, and in 1994 the church opened an investment bank, which makes loans to people who couldn't qualify for traditional bank loans. The bank also run seminars in job skills and financial planning, and provides credit to small-business owners. White told Howard that the church's goal was to "get people off welfare and help them become tax-paying citizens." White and his wife also opened a home for unwed mothers on their own property, near their home.

On January 8, 1996, White's church was burned to the ground; someone had placed kerosene, gunpowder, and several Molotov cocktails in the church, lit them, and fled, leaving racist graffiti behind. The burning angered White, and aroused him to speak on television, radio, and in print about the event, as well as several other church-burnings that had occurred. He and his family subsequently received racist letters and a bomb threat that later turned out to be a hoax. White told Howard, "[I'm] willing to die for the things I believe in." White, who often refers to civil rights history, insists that the African-American struggle against slavery and racism should be remembered. "If you remember it…" he told Howard, "then you begin to say, 'This can't happen anymore.'" And, he commented, "Then you'll begin to understand why I hurt like I hurt. And why I get so mad." After the burning, White's church moved to a nearby high school auditorium; by June of 1996, more than $250,000 had been donated to help the church rebuild.
In 1997, White finally realized his one last NFL feat. The Packers defeated the New England Patriots 35-21 in Super Bowl XXXI. White was a terror on defense, recording three sacks and hurrying Patriots quarterback into four interceptions. Green Bay repeated as NFC champions the next season, but lost in Super Bowl XXXII to the Denver Broncos.
In 1998, White lost a chance to work as a commentator at CBS Sports when he made remarks about homosexuality and race that many people found offensive. According to an article in Jet, CBS Sports spokesperson said, "CBS has a hard and fast policy against bias at all times." When asked about the event later, White said, "Forget about me. I don't need your money."
Retired from Play
In 1997 and 1998, White was named the top defensive player in the NFL. In 1998, he had led the NFL in sacks, with 16, and was also voted Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year. After that season he told a reporter from Jet that he was retiring from play due to several nagging injuries. In November of 1999, White was honored when the Packers retired his number, 92, from play. In 2000, White returned to play when he signed a contract with the Carolina Panthers; he played with the team for one year.
In an interview in Sports Illustrated for Kids, White advised, "Sometimes, being a leader means that you have to become independent of everybody. That's not easy. But you have to stand up for what you believe in, even if you're standing alone."

For a decade and a half, Reggie White (1961–2004) dominated the National Football League as one of its most ferocious defensive players. White habitually struck terror into opposing offenses with his great strength, but he also possessed speed, stamina, and the ability to size up situations for maximum impact.
Former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan once called White the "perfect defensive lineman … probably the most gifted defensive athlete I've ever been around." After eight seasons with the Eagles, in 1993 White signed a four-year, $17-million contract with the Green Bay Packers; it was an unprecedented amount for a defensive player. Upon his retirement from the NFL in 2001, White was credited with a record 198 career sacks; he had been named to the Pro Bowl an impressive 13 times in succession (although he failed to play in 1994 due to injury). In 1999, the Green Bay Packers retired White's jersey number (92) after his retirement from that team.
White was born on December 19, 1961, and raised in Tennessee. He went to college there—at the University of Tennessee—and he called that state home his entire life. As a child he lived in Chattanooga, where he was raised by his mother and his grandparents. The family was deeply religious; they attended the local Baptist church regularly, and as a youngster White was inspired by the ministers and teachers he met there. He did not undergo a single, charismatic experience of faith, but rather found his ties to Christianity growing stronger over the entire period of his youth. His mother, Thelma Collier, told Sports Illustrated that when he was 12 years old he announced that he wanted to be two things: a football player and a minister.
White's strength and size indeed seemed to be Godgiven. He never lifted weights or conditioned himself rigor-ously, but he was always in shape. At Howard High School in Chattanooga, he played both football and basketball, earning All-America honors in football and all-state honors in basketball. Numerous colleges recruited him, but he chose to stay near home and enrolled at the University of Tennessee, whose team, the Volunteers, were glad to have him. He was a talented and determined athlete who spent his Sundays preaching sermons in churches all over the state. As a senior in 1983, he was a consensus All-American and one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award given annually to the outstanding college lineman. (He did not win.) During his years with the Volunteers, White earned the nickname "minister of defense." The named followed him into his professional career, which began in 1984.
For a while it appeared that White might never leave Tennessee. After graduating from college he signed a five-year, $4 million contract with the Memphis Showboats, one of the teams in the fledgling United States Football League (USFL). The USFL began as an alternative league for cities starved for professional football action. From the outset it was dwarfed by the better-known, better-staffed National Football League, and soon the upstart teams foundered financially. White viewed this financial instability with concern. He also wanted to prove himself against the best players in the game. He began the 1985 season with the USFL but defected to the Philadelphia Eagles. With his wife, Sara—whom he had met in church—he ventured north to join the NFL.
That players' strike—a particularly bitter one—saw White emerge as a team leader. As one of the team-voted union representatives, White worked hard to keep his fellow Eagles united in the face of "replacement" teams and fan apathy. Didinger wrote in the Philadelphia Daily News: "One of the more memorable images of that 1987 season was White wearing a picket sign and blocking a bus loaded with replacement players as it attempted to pull into a South Jersey hotel…. [White] spoke loudly and passionately about the need for the veterans to stick together. Other teams broke ranks: the Eagles never did."
Observers marveled at the way White roared into every play of every game without ever seeming tired or distracted. White told Sports Illustrated: "In high school and college you're taught to hit the ground on a double team. Here you're expected to take it on. I get double-teamed on every play, so I expect it. Sacks are great, and they get you elected to the Pro Bowl. But I've always felt that a great defensive lineman has to play the run and the pass equally well…. The so-called men of the game pride themselves on being complete players."
Unrestricted free agency descended upon the NFL officially on March 1, 1993. Reggie White quickly became the most visible—and sought-after—unrestricted free agent after the 1992–93 football season. His contract with the Eagles had expired, and although he claimed that he would not mind staying in Philadelphia, he was not tendered another offer there. As it happened, Green Bay was one of a half dozen teams that bid quite openly for White's services at that time. He flew to Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Green Bay, New York City, and Washington, D.C., as an all-out war erupted to sign the powerful defensive end. Everywhere he went he was courted not only by team owners, management, and player personnel, but also by ordinary citizens who had heard about his community work and his Christian ethics. In the end, White signed with Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers. The Packers' offer was the most generous financially, with guaranteed earnings of $17 million over four years. Under the contract White became the most highly paid defender in the NFL and a pioneer in the heady new world of unrestricted free agent contracts.
Joining the Packers for the 1993 season, White left behind good will in Philadelphia, where he played for the Eagles through eight seasons. Philadelphia Daily News correspondent Ray Didinger called White "a man who made a giant impact … a symbol of hope, for the Eagles and for the city in general." Didinger added: "White is more than just a superb football player. He is an ordained Baptist minister whose tireless work in the community touched thousands of lives. He is a man who always wore his heart on his extra-long sleeve."
White's other career—carrying the gospel of Christ to those in need—lasted his entire life. He and his wife built Hope Place, a shelter for unwed mothers, on property near their home in rural Tennessee; they also founded the Alpha & Omega Ministry to sponsor a community development bank in Knoxville. "I'm trying to build up black people's morale, self-confidence and self-reliance to show them that the Jesus I'm talking about is real," White explained in Ebony.
White's life work came to an untimely end on December 26, 2004, when he was rushed to the hospital for what was termed a respiratory illness and soon pronounced dead. According to Jet, family spokesman Keith Johnson stated that White's death "was not only unexpected, but it was also a complete surprise. Reggie wasn't a sick man … he was vibrant. He had lots and lots of energy, lots of passion." In his local church and across the NFL, friends, former players, and fans of White spoke of their sadness at his passing. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue issued a statement which read in part: "Reggie White was a gentle warrior who will be remembered as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history. Equally as impressive as his achievements on the field was the positive impact he made off the field and the way he served as a positive influence on so many young people."

What can wewe read after The Host?
well a good book I've read was umm, Prey. If you're into all that science fiction stuff which clearly wewe are since wewe read The Host. Its a really good book. A little depressing but it's a good read. seriously..
Nothing really. But I've read Pillars Of The Earth kwa Ken Follett and Under The Dome kwa Stephen King. They're really great, but difficult to read. If wewe want something simpler, something zaidi like The Host, I have to recommend The Hunger Games kwa Suzanne Collins. Read about the book, I think you'll like it.
opps the vitabu is coming out August 24th!!!! I can't wait!!!
Well, if wewe want to continue with the theme of science fiction au "magic realism" maybe Michael Ende au Isaac Asimov. There are also good latinamerican authors of this "kind" like Gabriel García Márquez and Juan Rulfo. And if wewe want to play it safe, read Jane Austen, she never fails and she's my personal inayopendelewa :D.
wewe can Read the immortal Instruments (City of Bones, City of Ashes, and City of Glass), I just read Black Hills kwa Nora Roberts I loved it!!!
Hunger Games and The Immortal Instruments series are both really good recommendations, wewe could also try Graceling it's ndoto not really sci-fi but it was a great read.
Yeah, there is romance in this story...it has other stuff too but there is a upendo story also...hope u enjoy it if u read it!
Another good read after The Host is 'Evermore' kwa Alyson Noel,from the Immortals series. It's about an Immortal called Damon and a girl called Ever who has just Lost all of her family in a car crash. Just like my all time favourite book The Host,I couldn't put this book down.

Political turmoil accompanies presidential elections in Egypt

Tracy Chu, Staff Writer
Egypt's presidential candidate Abdul Fattah al-Sisi promised that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt "will no longer exist" if he is to be elected.
In an interview with press, Sisi expressed his plans to get rid of the organization if he were to win the election.
According to BBC News, Sisi declared that the Brotherhood had links to violent militant groups and stated that he uncovered two assassination plots against him. The organization denied any links to terrorism when questioned.
The Muslim Brotherhood supported Sisi before he led the ousting of their political candidate, Mohammed Morsi, and banned the organization.
Sophomore Marion Demailly said, "I don't think it's right that Sisi banned the Muslim Brotherhood after they openly supported him while he was an army general."
In March 2014, Sisi formally announced that he would resign from his army position and would instead run for president. Prior to this announcement, he held the rank of field marshal in the Egyptian army.
Sisi led a takeover of the elected government from Egypt's first freely elected leader, Mohamed Morsi, in the summer of 2013. Morsi was a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic political organization set on forming an Islamic state "free from corruption."
Sophomore Kelly Liu said, "If some of the sources discussing this issue are right, then the Muslim Brotherhood didn't deserve to be banned."
Since the ban, people supporting the Brotherhood have protested openly in the streets.
Thousands of citizens have been arrested and hundreds have been killed since Sisi. Most of these citizens enter a mass trial in which they are sentenced to death.
Authorities under Sisi have jailed many of both the group's followers and its leaders, including Mohamed Morsi.
Junior Sabrina Liu said, "There are two sides to this controversy- one backed by Sisi's supporters and another backed by the supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood. Both of these groups have certain beliefs, despite what the other side might think."
According to BBC News, Sisi's supporters view him as the stronger of the two candidates up for presidency. They believe he will be able to stabilize Egypt and reduce the protests and violence that continue to plague the country.

2 Pinoy fishers adrift at sea for 7 days rescued by Taiwanese vessel
MANILA — Two Filipino fishermen, who were drifting at sea for seven days, were rescued by a Taiwanese fishing vessel 75 nautical miles northeast off Batanes on June 17, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) said Tuesday.
Gilbert Dacaya, 18, and Romnick Rivera, 17, both residents of Barangay Minabel, Camiguin Island went fishing at the northeastern part of Camiguin Island on June 11.
While fishing, the two encountered engine trouble, causing them to drift northeast of Yami Island, also known as the Mavulis Island, where they stayed afloat for seven days. They were rescued by the Taiwanese fishing vessel Juin Fwu Shing which happened to pass through the nearby waters.
The Taiwan Coast Guard immediately sent its Taitung Cutter CG133 to pick up the fishermen from Jiun Fwu Shing.
TECO said the cutter arrived at the vicinity of Basco Port around 6:30 p.m. on Monday and transferred the fishermen to M/B Cape Faro with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on board.
The PCG, together with the rescued fishermen, arrived safely at the port on the same day at around 7:30 p.m.
Dacaya and Rivera were then immediately brought to Basco General Hospital for medical checkup. Both were assessed in good condition.
The two, who traveled to Tuguegarao City on Tuesday, were en route to Camiguin Island.
TECO did not give the full name of Jiun Fwu Shing's captain but quoted him as saying: "It is a great pleasure to save lives at sea."
TECO said the rescue reflects "Taiwan's goodwill and friendship" towards the Philippines.
"Furnishing (a) safe environment and rescuing those who are in distress in the overlapping waters between Taiwan and Philippines are the common goal of both countries. The Philippines and Taiwan are good neighbors and share a long-standing friendship," it said in a statement. Joyce Ann Rocamora/PNA-northboundasia.com

Three of Reagan High School's most popular girls pretend to kidnap their friend by shoving a jawbreaker into the victim's mouth to keep her from screaming. Their plan goes awry when the girl swallows the jawbreaker, choking to death. Now the leader of the pack will do anything to keep the accident a secret.

Bromas que Matan, Caramelo asesino
On the morning of her 17th birthday, high-school senior Liz Purr, the most popular girl in Reagan High, is kidnapped in her bed by three masked assailants, one of whom stuffs a jawbreaker into her mouth as a gag before she is placed in the trunk of a car. The kidnappers turn out to be Liz's "friends"—Courtney, Marcie, and Julie—playing a cruel prank on her for her birthday, which they do annually. When the girls drive up to a diner to treat Liz to breakfast, they open the trunk and discover she is dead, having choked to death on the jawbreaker Courtney had used to gag her.
Julie wants to go to the police, but Courtney forbids her. Courtney calls the school pretending to be Liz's mother and tells them Liz is ill and cannot attend school, then the three go to school as though nothing had happened. Fern Mayo, school outcast and fervent admirer of Liz Purr (whom she calls "The Cat's Meow"), is sent by the school principal, Miss Sherwood, to deliver Liz's homework at the end of the day. She stumbles upon the three girls at Liz's house trying to arrange her body in bed. Courtney tries to fabricate a story that Liz died at the hands of a rapist.
Fern attempts to flee the house, but the girls catch her and Courtney buys her silence by accepting her into the clique, telling her to take Liz's place, despite Julie's protests. Courtney and Marcie give Fern a makeover, transforming her from plain and awkward to elegant and beautiful. The transformation is so complete, Courtney introduces Fern as the beautiful exchange student "Vylette".
Julie, overwhelmed by guilt at her part in Liz's death, breaks away from the clique, only to be reviled by Courtney and Marcie. As her popularity dissolves, she becomes a new target for abuse and contempt throughout the school. Her only real friend during this time is her boyfriend, a drama student named Zack.
As Vylette's popularity soars, Julie watches in silence as Courtney spins an endless web of lies to cover up the murder and maintain her popularity. Julie threatens to go to the police and tell the truth, but Courtney retorts that she, Marcie, and now Vylette will claim Julie killed Liz if she attempts to expose them. To her disgust, Julie learns that, after they had returned Liz's corpse to her house, Courtney went out that same night and seduced a stranger at a sleazy bar and had sex with him in Liz's bed in order to frame him for the murder.
Vylette becomes intoxicated with her new-found popularity, which has eclipsed Courtney's own. Courtney orders Vylette to learn her place, but Vylette vows that if Courtney does not watch her step, then she will reveal the truth behind Liz's death. In response, Courtney and Marcie post enlarged yearbook photos of Fern Mayo all over the school with the message "Who is Vylette" written on them, revealing Vylette's true identity and leaving her humiliated by the entire school. Julie takes pity on Fern and forgives her for being corrupted by Courtney.
Feeling remorseless for the lives she has destroyed, Courtney attends the senior prom with Liz's boyfriend, jock Dane Sanders. Meanwhile, Julie is at home going through a bag of Liz's belongings that were given to her. She finds a recordable greeting card she was fiddling with when Courtney was faking Liz's death scene, on which Courtney's admission to the killing was inadvertently recorded. Armed with this evidence, Julie, Fern, and Zack hurry to the prom.
When Dane and Courtney are announced as Prom King and Queen, Zack sneaks backstage and broadcasts Courtney's confession over the sound system. Shocked and disgusted, Dane abandons Courtney while Marcie hides under a table. Horrified that her scheme has been exposed, Courtney races for the exit as the rest of the furious students pelt her with corsages, calling her names, and use profanity. Julie snaps a picture of the devastated Courtney to immortalize the occasion. The film ends with Fern's quote to Detective Vera Cruz, "This is high school Detective Cruz. What is a friend anyway?", and the yearbook closes.

Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram face major global outage
Technology |
Reuters | 14 March, 2019
Facebook Inc struggled to restore its services fully on Thursday after a 17-hour partial outage made the world's largest social network inaccessible to users across the globe, driving a wave of online complaints.
The number of reports on the crowd-sourced DownDetector website - one of the internet's most used sources of numbers on outages - peaked at just over 12,000, gradually falling to a couple of hundreds by early Thursday.
But with thousands of users complaining on Twitter under the hashtag #facebookdown, a number of media reports put the number affected in the millions.
The BBC and a handful of other media outlets said it was the platform's longest ever outage. Reuters was not immediately able to verify those claims.
Facebook representatives took to Twitter to update users on the problems.
A Facebook spokesman, asked by Reuters for more details, would only repeat the company's initial statement on the outage on Wednesday, saying that it was working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook apps were down for much of Wednesday, although the photo-sharing social network said it was back up early on Thursday. Facebook was yet to provide an update on its other services.
"Anddddd... we're back," Instagram tweeted along with a GIF image of Oprah Winfrey screaming in excitement.
Social media users in some parts of the United States and Europe as well as in Japan were hit by the disruption, according to DownDetector's live outage map.
"Ya'll, I haven't gotten my daily dosage of dank memes and I think that's why I'm cranky. #FacebookDown," tweeted Mayra Mesina, a Facebook user.
The Menlo Park, California-based company, which gets a vast majority of its revenue from advertising, told Bloomberg that it was still investigating the overall impact "including the possibility of refunds for advertisers."
On Twitter it also said that the matter was not related to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
In a DDoS attack, hackers use computer networks they control to send such a large number of requests for information from websites that servers that host them can no longer handle the traffic and the sites become unreachable.

Poor health costing the North £13bn, new report finds
Closing health gap with rest of the country could improve productivity in the region, event in Newcastle will be told
Graeme WhitfieldBusiness editor
Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle (Image: Newcastle Chronicle)
More than £13bn could be added to the economy of the North by tackling the health inequalities that exist with other parts of the country, a new report says.
The Health for Wealth: report, which will be launched in Newcastle today , says that increasing the NHS budget in the North East could health close the productivity gap which currently sees people in the region producing £4 an hour less than other parts of the country.
Action to reduce poor health would narrow the employment gap with the rest of England and improve productivity to such an extend that the region would add an additional £13.2bn to the economy.
Prof Clare Bambra, Newcastle University (Image: publicity handout from Newcastle University)
The report - which has been commissioned by Northern Health Science Alliance and compiled by six universities - points out that 60% of health research is carried in the 'golden triangle' of London, Cambridge and Oxford.
Lead author Professor Clare Bambra, from Newcastle University, said: "This report demonstrates the connection between poor productivity and higher rates of ill health in the North. If you improve health in the North you will improve its productivity – potentially benefiting the whole of the UK's economy.
Newcastle University outlines vision to become world leader
"For the Northern Powerhouse to reach its full potential there needs to be increased investment in place-based public health in local authorities. There needs to be increased NHS funding in the North, spent on prevention services and health science research.
"Work needs to be done to improve labour market participation and job retention among people with a health condition in the region. Poorer health in the North affects the entire country's economy, a healthier Northern Powerhouse will mean a healthier UK economy."
The report found that people in the North suffering a bout of ill health are 39% more likely to lose their job compared to their counterparts in the rest of England. If they return to work, their wages are 66% lower than people in the same situation elsewhere in the country.
Dr Hakim Yadi, chief executive of the Northern Health Science Alliance
But if the region could reduce rates of ill health by 1.2% and mortality rates by 0.7%, that would reduce the gap in gross value added (GVA) per-head between the North and the rest of England by 10%.
The report will be launched today at an event in Newcastle with Dame Jackie Daniel, chief executive Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Newcastle City Council leader Nick Forbes, Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen and Dr Hakim Yadi, CEO of the Northern Health Science Alliance.
It recommends improving health in the North by increasing investment in public health and upping NHS funding in the region, particularly looking at prevention services and health research.
The report also calls for businesses to support "job retention and health promotion interventions".

Dr Yadi said: "We're missing out on £13.2bn in the North's economy by not being smart with investment in health.
"Post-Brexit we need to build a stronger, healthier UK economy and the North of England is a key part of this. By improving health we can also make a direct impact on productivity and that is something no government should ignore."

The NATO-led Stabilization Force (SFOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be brought to a successful end at the end of this year, Heads of State and Government announced at the Istanbul Summit.
The Alliance will maintain a presence in the country to assist in certain areas such as defence reform, or the pursuit of persons indicted for war crimes, the Summit communiqué said.
Heads of State and Government welcomed a decision by the European Union to establish a follow-on mission, which will be supported by NATO under existing NATO-EU agreements.

Q: Clicking on a TextBlock in WPF richtextbox I have a flowdocument like this:
var mcFlowDoc = new FlowDocument();
var para = new Paragraph();
para.Inlines.Add(textBlock1);
para.Inlines.Add(textBlock2);
para.Inlines.Add(textBlock3);
mcFlowDoc.Blocks.Add(para);
richTextBox1.Document = mcFlowDoc;

and I need an event to trigger on mouse click on a textblock:
    <RichTextBox Margin="10,10,230,12" Name="richTextBox1" FontFamily="Simplified Arabic" FontSize="16" IsReadOnly="True" IsReadOnlyCaretVisible="False" ForceCursor="False" FlowDirection="RightToLeft" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
        <RichTextBox.Resources>
            <Style TargetType="Run">
                <EventSetter Event="MouseLeftButtonDown" Handler="Run_Click" />
            </Style>
            <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                <EventSetter Event="MouseLeftButtonDown" Handler="TextBlock_Click" />
            </Style>
        </RichTextBox.Resources>
    </RichTextBox>

void TextBlock_Click(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            TextBlock tb = sender as TextBlock;
        }

The event handler for Run is called and works properly (Changing inline in flowdocument) , but that for TextBlock isn't.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

A: Quote from MSDN:

Important
RichTextBox has built-in handling for the bubbling MouseUp and MouseDown events. Consequently, custom event handlers that listen for MouseUp or MouseDown events from a RichTextBox will never be called. If you need to respond to these events, listen for the tunneling PreviewMouseUp and PreviewMouseDown events instead, or register the handlers with the HandledEventsToo argument (this latter option is only available through code). Do not mark the event handled unless you deliberately want to disable RichTextBox native handling of these events, and be aware that this has notable effects on the control's UI.

So you need to look for alternatives. I can suggest a few.
First, you can set an event handler PreviewMouseDown for all RichTextBox:
<RichTextBox PreviewMouseDown="TextBlock_Click" ... />

Second, use the BlockUIContainer and put the text in the content button. For example:
<Paragraph FontSize="18">Flow Example</Paragraph>

<BlockUIContainer>
  <Button x:Name="MyButton" ClickMode="Release" Click="Button_Click">
    <TextBlock Margin="4" TextWrapping="Wrap">
      Some text
    </TextBlock>
  </Button>
</BlockUIContainer>

Third, you can set the event handler for the Paragraph like that:
var para = new Paragraph();
para.Inlines.Add(textBlock1);

para.MouseLeftButtonDown += new MouseButtonEventHandler(TextBlock_Click);

Edit
Quote from Adam Nathan's book WPF 4 Unleashed:

Whereas TextBox exposes simple integer properties such as CaretIndex, SelectionStart, and SelectionEnd, RichTextBox exposes a CaretPosition property of type TextPointer and a Selection property of type TextSelection. In addition, RichTextBox's content is stored in a Document property of type FlowDocument rather than the simple string Text property. The content can even contain embedded UIElements, and they can be interactive and raise events if RichTextBox's IsDocumentEnabled property is set to true.

Events began to work, it is necessary to add BlockUIContainer with IsDocumentEnabled property is set to true (in RichTextBox), otherwise, the event will not working altogether.
In general, I do not understand why you need it TextBlock inside RichTextBox. Use it the standard features, they pretty much cover, those Run, Paragraph, etc. If they do not match, then there is no reason to use RichTextBox.
See the nice tutorial about RichTextBox here.

Q: SIMD and difference between packed and scalar double precision I am reading Intel's intrinsics guide while implementing SIMD support. I have a few confusions and my questions are as below.

*

*__m128 _mm_cmpeq_ps (__m128 a, __m128 b) documentation says it is used to compare packed single precision floating points. What does "packed" mean? Do I need to pack my float values somehow before I can use them?

*For double precision there are intrinsics like _mm_cmpeq_sd which means compare the "lower" double precision floating point elements. What does lower and upper double precision elemtns mean? Can I use them to compare a vector of C++ double type elements or not? Or do I need to process them in some way before I compare them?

A: In SSE, the 128 bits registers can be represented as 4 elements of 32 bits or 2 elements of 64 bits.
SSE defines two types of operations; scalar and packed. Scalar operation only operates on the least-significant data element (bit 0~31 or 0~63), and packed operation computes all elements in parallel.
_mm_cmpeq_sd is designed to work with double-precision (64-bit) floating-point elements and would only compare the least-significant data element (first 64 bits) of the two operands (scalar).
_mm_cmpeq_pd is designed to work with double-precision (64-bit) floating-point elements as well but would compare each two groups of 64 bits in parallel (packed).
_mm_cmpeq_ss is designed to work with single-precision (32-bit) floating-point elements and would only compare the least-significant data element (first 32 bits) of the two operands (scalar).
_mm_cmpeq_ps is designed to work with single-precision (32-bit) floating-point elements and would compare each group of 32 bits in parallel (packed).
If you're using 32 bits float, you could pack the float in quadruplet to make use of the 128 bits space. That way, _mm_cmpeq_ps would be able to make 4 comparison in parallel.
If you're using 64 bits double, you could pack the double in pair to make use of the 128 bits space. That way, _mm_cmpeq_pd would be able to make 2 comparison in parallel.
If you want to make only one comparison at a time, you can use _mm_cmpeq_sd to compare two 64 bits double or _mm_cmpeq_ss to compare two 32 bits float.
Note that _mm_cmpeq_sd and _mm_cmpeq_pd are SSE2 while _mm_cmpeq_ssand _mm_cmpeq_ps are SSE.

A: In this context, "packed" means "several of the same type put into one lump" - so "packed single precision floating point" means 4 * 32 bit floating point numbers stored as a 128-bit value.
You either need to "pack" each value into the register using various PACK* instructions, or have the data already "packed" in memory, e.g. an array of (multiples of) 4 floating point values [that are suitably aligned].
Scalar means "one value" in the lower n bits of the register (e.g. a double would be the low 64 bits of a 128-bit SSE register).

I've been working on new colour images for my portfolio over the last few days but so far it is looking suspiciously like a black and white portfolio that I've coloured in… hey ho! Here is one of the things I've been working on; this is Gnat, a brave little fellow flying all alone into the deep dark forest.
A little while ago I was asked to create a piece of artwork inspired by and featuring the poem "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell which was to become a print. An unusual job for me and a challenging one too! I wanted to create a piece that was somewhere between a pattern and an illustration and it was also important to keep the background fairly neutral to allow the poem to be read. I used the motif from a pattern I had previously made because this "Queen of Diamonds" just felt like the right character to me. I gave the image a completely different background pattern and overall colour, and placed the poem over the top. Below is the finished result – the print is 50cm high so it's a bit easier to read!
I recently had a visit at my studio from Karen Jinks and Mandy Knapp who are the creative force behind Cambridge Creative Network. Karen and Mandy have been doing a series of artist interviews in advance of Cambridge Open Studios and they chose me! It was fantastic to meet artists who are so dedicated to helping people in the creative arts link up as well as promote what they do. Have a look at their website to see my interview and to find out more about Cambridge Creative Network and other Cambridge artists.
May saw the launch of the last story in Holly Webb's wonderful mystery series Maisie Hitchins. This book is called The Case of the Weeping Mermaid and its action centres around dark and mysterious London docks which were the perfect setting for a front cover. I took photos as I was painting the cover so that I would later remember the different stages and here they all are below from the sketchiest beginnings to the final scan. I always find it challenging painting covers, they seem to go through a lot of different stages and look fairly awful for most of the time until suddenly at the end it all comes together – always a bit of a relief!
Here is the sketch for the cover ready to be transferred onto watercolour paper, as you can probably see I changed my mind about how the clouds were going to look!
Here is the cover all drawn out on watercolour paper and I've just begun painting the most important bit – Maisie! As you can see the sketch is to hand and I'm working in acrylic ink. There is a lot of empty space here which is to allow for the title and Holly's name which will come later.
Here you can see the monotone background is beginning to appear, everything is still quite pale.
I've kept on working into the background to boost the colour and tone and to strengthen the shadows, clouds are beginning to appear and Maisie is getting more vibrant.
Now the cover is nearly finished; I've added highlights to give the feel of moonlight and everything has an outline to bring it all into sharp focus.
Here is the finished image, scanned this time. The tendrils of mist were the last thing to arrive, they were made by painting dilute white acrylic ink over the top of the painting.
Here is the finished cover as it looks with all the text in place – what a difference!

How To Rise Supplies Uses Inform ERP to Compete Among Giants
"Inform has made everything we do more precise."
Jorge Salcedo started his New York City-based distribution business with just a trash bag and an idea—to provide next day delivery of plastic and paper supplies to restaurants with 24/7 customer service, no minimum orders and no additional storage or delivery fees. Just seven years later, To Rise Supplies has doubled their sales and competes amidst industry giants.
Building from Data
From the beginning, Jorge Salcedo knew that data was one of the most important commodities his businesses had. Data would not only help him identify which products to sell and how much inventory to stock for, but it would also provide critical insights for the massive growth To Rise aimed to achieve.
Data wasn't Jorge's only challenge. Inventory management was an issue as well. "Our business model is built on providing a next-day delivery guarantee, requiring us to be on top of our forecasting game," says Salcedo. "Forecasting was becoming increasingly challenging with each new customer due to our limited systems and lack of data around sales, net profit and tracking margins," Salcedo adds.
Generating approximately $2.5 million in revenue, Salcedo quickly recognized that relying on outdated Excel spreadsheets and QuickBooks to collect and analyze data was no longer effective. Additionally, it significantly hindered To Rises' ability to meet their goals and compete against larger distributors.
"We knew we were making money, but we didn't know if we were losing merchandise, increasing our margins or selling more products," said Jorge. "We love when we're selling, selling, selling, but it's not how much you sell, it's how much you get to keep. That was our goal: to keep more money in the company's pocket—not just to sell more."
