"Just a year older than George McFly, Biff Tannen stood with his potbelly leaning unashamedly over his trouser tops, an attitude that made his loud plaid suit, pinky rings and gold chains seem even more bizarre. Whereas George McFly was reticent, Biff was loud and obnoxious, the type of person who talks loudly in movie houses or yells epithets at players during sports events. He was, in short, an intimidating lout, and no one was more easily intimidated than his friend and associate George."

Biff Howard Tannen was born in 1937, to Irving Thomas "Kid" Tannen and Myra Benson in Hill Valley, California. Kid and Myra got married on December 6, 1936, simply for the purpose of making it seem like Biff wasn't born out of wedlock. The two parted ways immediately after the wedding, and neither parent wanted Biff. Because of this, Tannen's mother, Gertrude Tannen, took custody of him. Before he left his son, Kid gave Gertrude a forged birth certificate that stated that Biff was born on March 26, 1937.
Biff was the great-grandson of Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. He was not very bright and only got through high school by bullying George McFly to do his homework for him. Biff often took pleasure in calling George an "Irish bug". He was feared by most of his schoolmates. The only person he was afraid of was Mr. Strickland. In 1955, he surrounded himself with a gang consisting of (Match, Skinhead, and 3-D).
By 1985, Biff's marital status is unknown, although Biff had a grandson Griff by 2015, indicating that Biff had at least one child by 1985. (According to some sources, Biff had a son, Biff Jr., who, it is suggested, owned the Cafe 80's). He may have also had a daughter named Tiff Tannen, short for Tiffany. [1]
Biff was noted for mixed metaphors. For example, he said "make like a tree and get out of here" instead of "make like a tree and leave" on more than one occasion. He also once said "That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship" instead of submarine. During his theft of the DeLorean in 1991, he said "Have a nice trip, see you next winter!" His insult of choice was "butthead", or — usually when addressing George McFly — (Irish) "bug." One of his routines was to knock on someone's head and say "Hello? Hello? Anybody home?" He liked cars and ended up with a career waxing and cleaning them with his auto detailing business. Biff was still a jerk and more passive-aggressive than a bully, but could be nice when necessary, usually to get out of trouble.
Biff like the rest of the Tannen family bullied people to get what he wanted. It is fair to say he wasn't intelligent during his youth as he constantly got his metaphors incorrect and he had to force George to do his homework for him.
In the original timeline, Biff bullied and harassed George during their youth and adulthood. However when George's youngest son Marty accidentally travels back to 1955 and gives George some confidence, George successfully stands up to Biff by knocking him out with a punch when the latter was harassing Loraine. Being hit by George supposedly ends his bullying days and installs some humility within him. From them on he treats George with respect and even addresses him as "Mr. McFly".
When Marty and Doc travel to 2015, it is revealed Biff is still loves bullying people, but on the flip side is being bullied by his grandson Griff. On a positive note, Biff seems to be more intelligent than in his youth as he has a better grip of his mixed metaphors.
When the older Biff alters the timeline by giving the sports almanac to himself in 1955, Biff becomes vicious, corrupt and abusive like dictator who mistreats Loraine and Marty, and has murdered George. However when Marty fixes everything by going back to 1955 and burns the almanac before young Biff can use it, everything goes back to normal. When Marty comes back to 1985 a second time, Biff is still mean, but he treats Marty and George with respect.
Note: The following section is considered non-canon or is disputed in canonicity.
Biff was conceived by Irving "Kid" Tannen in 1936 after the latter escaped from San Quentin State Prison "for three hours", and subsequently was born in 1937.[2] Biff's parents weren't present in his life as a teenager, as he had been living with his grandmother, Gertrude Tannen, at 1809 Mason Street. Biff's uncle (likely Frank Tannen) had been staying with Biff and his grandmother, but he left Hill Valley at some point prior to 1955.[3]
Biff as a youngster was known to bully other children from around the age of five. As he went through high school, he repeated a year (explaining why, despite being a year older than George and Lorraine, he was in the same grade as them). His documentary in 1985A explained that he did it in order to help out the high school football team.[4]
In the original timeline, Biff did not have any brothers.[5] However, in an alternate timeline, when his father did not serve any prison time, Biff had at least two younger brothers, Cliff and Riff.
Biff also owned his own car, a powerful black Ford Super De Luxe Convertible, in which Skinhead, Match and 3-D occasionally traveled with him as passengers. The car could not be started by anyone except Biff, as he mentioned to Terry — who had believed it to be fitted with a kill-switch — when collecting the vehicle from the Western Auto repair shop. In 1985A, the car (having been newly restored) was one of the main exhibits in the Biff Tannen Museum.
The late 20th century
Biff, age 48, before history changed.
In the original timeline, Biff started bullying George McFly when they were kids and never stopped. On their first encounter at high school in 1954, George had a hero sandwich rubbed into his face by Biff after Dale Carnegie's claim in his book How to Win Friends and Influence People that a man cannot remain hostile if one showed one was sincerely interested in him proved somewhat ineffective.[6]
Over the next 30 years, Biff would continue to bully and intimidate George, and they both ended up working for the same company, where Biff became George's supervisor (due to George doing all Biff's work for him to get promoted). Because Biff was too lazy or stupid, or both, to do his own reports, he forced George to do them instead. Biff's crush on Lorraine never died either, even after she had married George.
Biff, age 18, in 1955.
However, things changed when the McFlys' youngest son Marty McFly accidentally traveled back through time to 1955 using his friend Dr. Emmett Brown's DeLorean time machine, interfering with his parents' first meeting. Marty, using the anachronistic name "Calvin Klein," also managed to get on the wrong side of Biff by standing up to him, something which Biff was not used to.
Biff's car crashes into a manure truck.
Marty was also indirectly responsible for causing Biff to crash his car into a manure truck, and this led to Biff finding Marty and Lorraine on the night of the school dance (November 12, 1955). Biff's gang trapped Marty in the trunk of another car and Biff tried to get his way with Lorraine. George came along, as part of the plan he and Marty had made where George would find Marty "parking" with Lorraine, but soon realized that the pretend rescue was now a real one. For the first time, George stood up to Biff to stop him from a sexual assault on Lorraine. Biff responded by attempting to break George's arm. Lorraine, trying to pull Biff away from George, was knocked to the ground. This enraged George, who suddenly broke free of Biff's grip and knocked him out with one punch. As a result, George became much more confident, and was no longer one of Biff's victims. Lorraine and George fell in love, and went on to marry.
It is unclear whether Biff found someone else to bully or whether being knocked out by the supposed weakest kid in school had ended Biff's days of bullying people and also installed at least a rudimentary notion of humility in him. Since Biff no longer had George to do his work for him, he now had to do things for himself. He started up his auto-detailing business, which he owned and ran himself, and by 1985, the McFlys were among his most loyal customers, and Biff's subservient attitude was demonstrated by his addressing George as "Mr. McFly". George seemed amused at Biff's efforts to get away with as little work as possible (although Biff's comment about already doing two coats of wax on the car may have been a personal good-natured joke between him and George) though he and Lorraine privately credited him with unwittingly helping them get together. George and Biff appeared to have become friends, or were at least on amicable terms.
Biff, aged 78, in 2015
Marty, Doc and Marty's girlfriend Jennifer Parker traveled forward in time from 1985 to 2015 – unaware that their departure had been witnessed by Biff. Over the next 30 years, he remembered seeing the flying DeLorean taking off.
At the age of 78, Biff was still mean, and was still waxing cars in 2015 (although he had a better grasp of mixed metaphors than he did 60 years before). The fact that he still owned and managed Biff's Auto Detailing may suggest that he has fallen upon hard times and still needs to keep working in order to earn a living. However, it may have also been the case that he was working more as a way to keep active (which some retirees make a practice of). It is clear that Biff is quite bitter and resentful as a senior citizen.
Formerly the bully, Biff was himself being bullied by his grandson Griff. This family relationship was at best a strained one, as grandson and grandfather seemingly did not get along. When Griff and his gang were arrested by the police for vandalizing the Courthouse Mall, Biff said to himself "Buttheads" — likely feeling that Griff got what he deserved.
Old Biff thinks he's talking to Marty Jr., and tells how Marty McFly Sr. had his own life completely flushed down the toilet.
Biff still seemed to like harassing people, including Marty (whom he thought was Marty's future son Marty McFly Jr.), and the handle on his cane was in the shape of a closed fist, which he used to rap people on the head because his own hands were now too feeble to hit anyone hard — although he remained cautious and apprehensive around George McFly. Biff's crush on Lorraine still lingered, as he told the young man, "Say hello to your grandma for me."
Despite Biff's anger at himself for letting life pass him by, he had become a calmer and more astute individual than he had been in his youth; this would lead to problems for Marty and Doc. When he sees the DeLorean, he says to himself he saw a flying DeLorean 30 years ago. Sneaking into an alleyway, Biff eavesdrops on Doc reprimanding Marty for abusing time travel to get rich, causing Biff to remark to himself that Doc Brown built a time machine, then thinks of how he can use Marty's abandoned scheme to his own benefit. After Doc disposed of Gray's Sports Almanac in the trash, Biff claimed it for himself. He then hired a taxi to go to the Hilldale neighborhood, then stole the DeLorean and took it back to November 12, 1955, so that he could alter his life by handing the almanac to give to his younger self.
Just before Marty and Doc returned with Jennifer, Biff returned to 2015 and got out of the DeLorean with difficulty, then suddenly clutched his chest in pain, causing the top of his cane to break off and fall inside the car. He staggered away and slumped behind a parked car; he then fell sideways to the ground behind the car and faded away because of his having changed history. In Biff's alternate reality, it appears he was shot by Lorraine sometime in the mid 1990s — presumably with the same gun that killed George twenty-three years before.[7]
Doc discovered the top of Biff's cane and the receipt for the sports almanac in the DeLorean, from which he deduced Biff's theft of the time machine.
The alternate present, 1955-1985
Biff in 1985A
Although initially unwilling to believe the old man, over time, Biff came to believe the almanac's validity, eventually young Biff used the sports almanac to bet on the results of sporting events, since he knew the outcomes in advance, giving him the ability to cheat. In 1958, starting on his 21st birthday, Biff soon became very rich and powerful, eventually starting up his toxic waste company BiffCo and a casino hotel in Hill Valley (at least twenty-seven stories high), named "Biff's Pleasure Paradise", changing the laws of California to legalize casino gambling in 1979. Biff had apparently used his money to influence American politics as well as California politics. In addition to his lobbying of legalization of gambling before the California Legislature Biff also spearheaded a constitutional amendment to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Biff was apparently an admirer of Richard Nixon, whom by repealing presidential term limits he had helped get elected to at least four terms as President of the United States. Biff had presumably altered the timeline by either bribing to cover up the Watergate investigations or resorting to outright murder. President Nixon had plans (at least as of 1983 (while seeking a fifth consecutive term), and leaving the Vietnam War unresolved as of 1983, which meant Biff's ways has affected the entire world as well. Though he was promoted (at least by himself) as "America's greatest living folk hero", Hill Valley in 1985A had become a center of crime, corruption, prostitution and gang warfare — which was not surprising really, since Biff also had control over the Hill Valley Police Department with the crime against humanity.
Biff and Lorraine got married after 1973.
Despite Biff's great wealth and many female admirers, Biff did not have the woman he always wanted, and would still have to wait decades before his time had come. In this version of history, he had been married three times. Not much is known about Biff's earlier marriages. Biff's first wife was Marilyn Monroe. That marriage had been dissolved by divorce. Biff's second wife was Jayne Mansfield, who divorced him after she saw photos of Lorraine Baines McFly. The divorce from Mansfield renewed Biff's feelings for Lorraine. On March 15, 1973, Biff shot and murdered George, though Lorraine had not yet learned the truth by 1985A. Biff married her later that year, giving her financial support and offering to help the widowed Lorraine through her tragedy, but he apparently did not adopt her three young children as his own. Biff's power and wealth had gone up to his head, and he was very abusive towards Lorraine. He also paid doctors to drastically increase Lorraine's bustline, and gave only marginal support to his three stepchildren. He may have used his power to keep Dave McFly (Lorraine's 'idiot son') out of jail, but had no qualms about using his power to revoke Dave's probation, presumably by bribing the probation officer. Biff may have also been allowing Linda McFly to live the carefree life of a playgirl, but threatened that he would stop paying off her credit card bills. Biff paid for Marty's tuition at a boarding school in Switzerland, but this may be more likely he wanted at least one of his stepchildren away from him as far as possible since Marty was still a high school student, more so than trying to get Marty the best education he could provide.
In 1986, Biff's long reign of terror finally came to an end when, in an attempt to visit 1996 in order to obtain future information to help him become President of the United States in 1988, he was instead temporarily sent back by Doc Brown to 1884, where he was murdered by his great-grandfather Buford Tannen upon calling him "Mad Dog." Because he was no longer alive by 2015 after having altered the timeline, Old Biff collapsed and faded from existence upon returning the DeLorean after his trip to 1955.
Biff, provoked beyond his endurance, prepares to run over Marty, before hitting the manure truck for the second time.
This version of reality was erased when Marty and Doc went back to 1955 and got the almanac from Biff before he could use it, while causing Biff to crash into the very same manure truck a second time. The timeline went back to how it was at the end of the first film, where Biff was running his auto detailing business.
The improved 1985
After Marty had gone to 1885, there was some question about whether the arrest (and possible hanging) of Buford Tannen would negate the existence of some of Buford's descendants, including Biff. Once Marty had returned to 1985 for the second time, however, Biff was spending a second day working as an auto-detailer - but now, he has a red jacket, not a green. His existence might lead one to believe that Buford had sired his son prior to being arrested.
While normally maintaining an appearance of being obsequious, Biff's original bad attitude still lurked beneath the surface and emerges occasionally, like his reaction to seeing the DeLorean take off and when he snapped at Marty when Marty approached his truck after his adventure in 1885. To be fair, he did think Marty, still in his "Clint Eastwood" disguise, was some punk trying to steal the truck and once he realized who the "punk" was, Biff immediately apologized, dipping again into his submissive demeanor.
The less antagonistic Biff, rummaging through Doc's lab equipment in 1986.
During the estate sale of Doc's garage, Biff was present and was quite apt to picking up or taking things that were originally Doc's. Here Biff's aggressiveness took on a more passive element as Marty argued with him over Doc's notebook that was hidden inside a demonstration model of the Hill Valley Courthouse. Biff, however, would refuse to comply with Marty's requests. To efficiently rid Biff of the notebook, Marty grabbed his guitar and turned on the CRM-114 amplifier. Biff bearishly bumped Marty aside after Marty cranked the settings up to max. Marty stood back as the inevitable concussive force blasted out of the speaker, sending Biff to the back wall, and allowing him to grab the notebook from Biff's possession.[8]
Biff, just as mean as he was in 1955, now a ruthless enforcer for the Tannen Crime Family in alternate 1986.
Biff was encountered again upon Marty's return to 1986, albeit this time as an enforcer and member of the Tannen crime family, the fifth largest in California. Thanks to changes in the past, his father Kid Tannen never went to prison, and as such remained leader of the local mob, turning it into the powerful Tannen family crime syndicate. He is shown for the first time to have two brothers, Cliff and Riff Tannen. Both supported him as they enforced the Tannens' rule over the Hill Valley townsfolk, including George and Lorraine McFly. In this reality, Biff is even meaner and more violent than ever. After he was slugged by George in 1955, he and his brothers viciously retaliated and broke his legs, making him a crippled paraplegic. He and Lorraine suffered intimidation and paid protection money, while Marty was run out of town for causing an "incident with a manure truck" to befall Biff.[9]
Biff, even more docile than normal, asks Marty not to swear, as it makes him "uncomfortable"
In an alternate timeline where Doc becomes a tyrannical despot by the name of "Citizen Brown", Biff was a broken man who lived in fear of Citizen Brown and his merciless regime of order and control. When Marty swore in front of him, Biff reacted with fear and nervousness, as apparently any infractions in Citizen Brown's state of order were dealt with harshly. Even in this police state, Biff was still an unruly man and a churlish individual, as he claimed to engage in alcohol consumption, illicit sexual relations and allowing dogs to run around wherever they pleased (dog ownership being outlawed in this timeline). His actions would result in him being brought to task before First Citizen Brown and "brainwashed" into becoming the first of Citizen Brown's newest campaign of enforcing order known as "Citizen Plus". When Marty first encounters Biff in 1986G, he is seen freshly graduated from the Citizen Plus Program and shaking hands with Citizen Brown. Now, if even the thought of wrongdoing crosses his mind, his body is stimulated to become physically ill to the point of nausea and vomiting. As Biff was the first Citizen Plus, he got a job promoting the "Citizen Plus" campaign in front of the courthouse to passers-by. However, unknown even to him, he was used for another purpose, to be hypnotized by Edna Brown as a henchman, as later seen when he roughed up George McFly. When confronted by Marty about the assault, Biff denied doing so, which was technically true, as he did not do so by his own fault and his memory was erased after the X:11 hypnosis was removed.
The programming's hold over him was finally broken when Biff wound up in a room filled with all the magazines, videos and booze that had been confiscated from him and other citizens. Overwhelmed by the close proximity to items he had been conditioned against, Biff returned to his original mindset. Although he was most angry with Edna for brainwashing him, Biff also remembered that Marty made him do embarrassing stunts and threatened to deal with who was in his immediate line of sight, in this case being Marty. Biff angrily tried to clobber Marty, only to in turn get hit over the head from his father's old transforming speakeasy table and knocked out cold. Biff's rampage would not last long, as he was soon captured and remanded to the Citizen Plus Ward under heavy guard. Marty sees an enraged Biff inside a soundproof room, who is recalcitrant to take medication. This largely goes unnoticed by the guards, as Edna has demanded the guards' top priority be focused on reconditioning First Citizen Brown. Being a secondary issue, one guard remarks that Biff is to be denied meals until he takes his medication.
In the alternate timeline created by Doc Brown and Marty McFly preventing Edna Strickland from accidentally burning down Hill Valley, the end result was Edna being arrested for drunk driving, arson, and resisting arrest. This led to her and Kid Tannen winding up in the same jail cell, which in turn led to Edna and Kid getting married after Biff and his brothers were conceived, making Edna Biff's stepmother. She often took Einstein, Doc's dog, for exercise daily.
Biff's father appeared to be a slightly tougher parent in this timeline, now admonishing Biff to show respect for his stepmother, which may have mellowed Biff's rough attitude somewhat.
1955 Biff Tannen on the time machine from Back to the Future: The Ride
In 1991, Doc established the Institute of Future Technology (IFT). On May 2, 1991, time travel volunteers from the IFT went back to 1955 to make sure that the timeline was back to normal following the events of the films. In 1955, 18-year old Biff stowed away in the time machine and once in 1991, stole it and blasted through time. Doc followed Biff through time in the new 8-seater DeLorean. Biff visited October 25, 2015 (almost the 30th anniversary of the first time travel experiment), an active volcano, and the Ice Age before heading back to 1991. Biff was then taken back to 1955, where he belonged, by Doc.
Of course, because of this experience, Biff should be aware of Doc's time travel experiments as far back as 1955 — yet he is still surprised at seeing the DeLorean fly in 1985, even though he flew one himself. Why Biff never hassled Doc during the preceding 30 years is also never explained.
"'I went to a rejuvenation clinic and got an all-natural overhaul.
What do you think?"
Biff Tannen in Back to the future Animated series
1992 Biff was shown to act like a milder version of his original "asshole-ish" 1985 incarnation. It would appear his obsequious act in front of George and Lorraine was simply that, an act. Biff was generally difficult to get along with (Though not impossible) and sometimes causing trouble. He had returned to wearing a crew-cut like he did in 1955.
Since one of his numerous ancestors or descendants were encountered, Marty rhetorically questioned if there was a "Tannen" in every time and place they visited when they went to ancient Rome. Biff was once shown driving a tow truck, indicating he still has his auto detailing business, but has now become more successful at it with increased capital.
In 1967, he saw the Comet Kablooey and thought it was an alien ship. In 1992, he tried claiming Jennifer Parker's grandparents' ranch after finding a deed saying the Tannen family owned it. However, Marty, Jules and Verne went back to 1875 to make sure that the Tannens never got the deed.
Lorraine Baines
"Say hi to your mom/grandma for me"
—Biff Tannen to Marty McFly
He had a crush on Lorraine Baines and referred to her as "my girl", and continued to take an interest in her even thirty and sixty years later. Lorraine did not return the sentiments.
In the original timeline, Biff bullies George (when they were children and adults) but in the alternate timeline when George is successful, Biff has stopped being a bully. He has parlayed his love of cars into an auto detailing business, and the McFlys are part of his customer base.
In the second alternate 1985, Biff goes so far as to kill George.
Biff Tannen had been named in the original, 1980 draft of the script for Back to the Future, and in earlier drafts, "Biff H. Tannen" was referred to, along with a mention that the H. stood for "Howard". While this might suggest that Biff is a nickname, the original script included a sequence where Biff ruins an electric drill and then says to George, "Oh — and one more thing: my kid's selling Girl Scout cookies. I told her you were good for four boxes. Don't make me a liar!" This unused line may well be the basis for Tiffany Tannen. A similar scene was filmed for Back to the Future, with a pushy neighbor and his daughter getting George to buy a case of peanut brittle. The neighbor, whose scenes were cut from the film, was named Howard. The middle name Howard was actually spoken for the first time in the Telltale game.
J.J. Cohen who later played Skinhead, one of Biff's gang, was considered to play Biff, but did not appear physically imposing next to Eric Stoltz, who was originally cast as Marty. He did however appear more imposing next to the shorter Michael J. Fox, who had been the first choice to play Marty and who would later replace Stoltz in the role. On the DVD commentary for the first film, producer Bob Gale noted that Cohen may very well have won the role had Fox been cast from the beginning.
By the time he reaches age 79, Biff is a lot smarter than he had been at 49 or at 19, Besides the more obvious point, where he is with the 1955 Biff, he is very exasperated with Biff's penchant for mixing up metaphors and corrects him and blasts him for sounding "like a damn fool" when he says "make like a tree and leave" wrong. He also quickly recognizes an opportunity to borrow a sports almanac and a time machine, and even readily figures out how to operate the machine without any prior instructions. In addition to stealing the car, he has to (a) put fuel in Mr. Fusion (b) input an appropriate destination time (c) turn the time circuits on, and (d) reaching the proper speed (88 m.p.h.) for time displacement. After locating his younger self, he has to repeat the sequence and set a return time immediately after his moment of departure so that nobody would realize the car had ever been gone. It is possible that Old Biff might have needed more than one try before he successfully traveled to November 12, 1955. (He could, indeed, have experimented for weeks or months before he figured out how to operate the time machine, but on returning from 1955 to 2015 he would have made sure to return to a point in time immediately after he stole it, so that it would not be missed.) It is also possible that the JVC camcorder with the videocassette of Doc's instructions was still in the car.
According to the readout on the time machine controls, Old Biff spent several hours in 1955 after giving his younger self the almanac and before returning to 2015. It remains unclear as to whether he was doing a spot of nostalgic sightseeing, if he had to wait until it got dark before retrieving the DeLorean from wherever he hid it in 1955 (possibly to avoid being spotted and shot at by the police), or both.
In the Back to the Future Part II novelization, at the Cafe 80's, old Biff comes to regret being such a jerk and realizes he wasted his life. Of course this epiphany is quickly forgotten upon his discovery of the Almanac and the DeLorean. Ironically, in his attempt to make his life better he ends up making himself a much bigger jerk. As a result of this, he ends up actually guaranteeing his demise.
Biff appeared in Back to the Future: The Animated Series, though not in every episode. Thomas F. Wilson provided the voice for Biff, who always wore a red bowling shirt. In the first season, Biff often would appear after the closing credits and would tell a lame (intentionally) joke. He was often seen as a character in the second-season episodes. Wilson supplied the voice for many, if not all, of the Tannen relatives encountered in other eras.
In an interview with the official BTTF Club magazine, Thomas F. Wilson speculates that Biff's grandmother was probably the primary reason Biff grew up to be such a jerk. He also claims Biff's signature "Butthead" and "Hey, McFly" quotes were mostly his ideas.
At the Biff Tannen Museum, a sign outside says Smoking Required.
Though they know a lot about each other, Biff and Emmett Brown are never seen interacting in the films — only in the animated series and ride. However, Doc has tangled with several of Biff's ancestors, such as Buford Tannen.
It has been said that "Biff" is a nickname for the name "Buford".[citation needed] It wouldn't be a surprise if the Tannens had more family traditions besides orneriness.
Biff occasionally insults George's Irish heritage calling him "an Irish bug" which is ironic, considering Tom Wilson, who plays Biff, is of Irish descent in real life.
Futurepedia has a collection of images and media related to Biff Tannen.

UNCS to develop multiscale geospatial datasets
The UN Cartographic Section (UNCS) is planning to develop global multi-scale geospatial datasets (or UNmap) for rapid map production and web mapping in support to the Security Council and the Secretariat including UN field missions. Currently, an interim version of UNmap in scales of 1:1 million, 1:5 million and 1:10 million are in the final stages of completion. These maps are being used as primary geo-databases for UNCS and UN field missions. The purpose of UNmap is to develop and maintain a spatial data infrastructure (integrated with the datasets of UN international boundaries and SALB as well as UN Gazetteer) for UN needs that will provide a single homogeneous dataset of global geospatial features of the world for any mapping purpose.

US agriculture department eyes cloud for geospatial data
The Agriculture Department's Farm Service Agency (FSA), US, is considering using cloud-based web services to access geospatial data and imagery. The FSA is seeking ideas on how to use commercially available web-based services to provide a base layer for its geospatial information systems. As part of its IT modernisation programme, the FSA uses a thin-client model that leverages web services to access geospatial aerial imagery of farm boundaries that personnel use for farm-related programmes.

China maps SCS to reinforce territorial claims
China may step up its exploration of South China Sea to reinforce its territorial claims following announcement that geographical surveys of the area are underway. "By drawing a map, the country can reinforce its jurisdiction claim in the South China Sea, and further actions may follow, such as exploiting resources near the Nansha Islands.", said Zhang Yunling, Director of the Institute for International Studies under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. According to a report released by China's National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geo-information (NASMG) a working group jointly set up by 13 government agencies will continue geographical surveying of the South China Sea and draw a map of the sea or its islands to "declare China's stance" on territorial issues.

The Strauss Center uses Esri technology
The Strauss Center's Climate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS) program has implemented Esri technology to view how climate change impacts vulnerable populations in Africa. CCAPS created the dynamic mapping tool in partnership with AidData for use by researchers, policy makers, journalists, and citizens. Users can visualize any combination of CCAPS data on climate change, conflict, and aid on a map to discover how different forces overlap or intersect. The tool is already being used in the country of Malawi for a solution that tracks and reports on the country's external funding.

Sites are bypassing Google maps
Websites that used to incorporate Google Maps into their own pages are considering other options, claiming the search giant is charging hefty licensing fees (sometimes run into six figures), according to a report published in The New York Times. Now they are embracing OpenStreetMap (OSM), a user-contributed map service. In October 2011, Google had announced that it would start charging fee from smaller sites that generated more than 25,000 map views each day over 90 days.

India uses satellite images to keep land records
Under the national land records modernisation programme, the Rajasthan state government in India initiated a land mapping project, using Electronic Total Station (ETS), aerial photographs and high resolution satellite images. Once the project is fully implemented, every data of the agriculture land will be digitised and made available online. Officials claim that once everything will be on public domain, the land scams and irregularities will reduce to a great extent.

Bhutan to update topo map
With technical and financial aid from Thailand, using GIS and remote sensing technology, the National Environment Commission (NEC) of Bhutan commissioned a project to update topographic mapping of the country. As part of this three-year project, Bhutan will have satellite imagery of every dzongkhag (an administrative and judicial district of Bhutan) by the end of 2012. The imagery will help authorities to assess the status of development works. The Thai government will fund about USD 9 million. In addition, a team of six experts from Thailand will train NEC officials on using GNSS, remote sensing and GIS.

I'm Back. That's right, Ye Olde Terror of the forums is back to raise Havoc and as always, BUILD BETTER AIRSHIPS!!!!
No, seriously, good to be back. been what a year and a half? Life, guys. it takes over your priorities. Don't let it find me again... And Devs, Put the pitchforks away. im just here to build. Back in the day,the prospect of being able to participate in the ongoing development of the game was an amazing notion. too good to be true if you will. and indeed it was based on my experiences. Back then it was someone's job to shut down ideas. And someone else's job to ban people for raising a concern. Don't know if the 'Hatchet Man' still lurks the forums, but if so you can tell him to leave me be. I'll just be building stuff, not producing new ideas or participating creatively and actively in the developer-player relationship. Lets just say a bad taste was left in my mouth after last time. To not end on a distasteful re-introduction, I will say I hope such relationship has improved since my previous tenure.
So here it is, the Capacitor Citadel, A Joint-Venture project Between GeoCorp and Hawkeye. Geocorp Engineers required a more heavily defensible Power Core for their planetary mining operations, they turned to the Hawkeye Corporation. Hawkeye, who's engineers recognized an immediate need for more robust Power Cores in their own deployments, Jumped on the opportunity. The end result was the Capacitor Citadel. Capacitor Citadels contain a Massive Battery bank and ample Wireless Chargers configured for both Ground vehicles and low altitude Flying vehicles. A pair of Heavy SCUs flank the main tower to help clean up the area around them. Four Heavy Gatling Guns defend the tower from a High vantage point, and four more defend from the corners of the base. Each side houses a pair of Seeker Missiles. Eight Auto-cannons are situated at the top of the tower and twelve Anti-Infantry machine guns are positioned around it's base. Attached by explosive bolts is a massive Planetary Fortress Core housing at it's apex a 360 degree rotational Command Platform sporting a Hawkeye Twin Ibiks Cannon (Yes, the same weapon from the StarCraft 2 Planetary Fortress, Speculatively built by Hawkeye Military Technologies) In addition the Command platform sports quad Seeker Missiles and a pair of Cruise Missiles. The whole structure is protected by Hawkeye and Geocorp Armor Plating and Heavy Geocorp repair field generators and Hawkeye Havoc Sheilds. Initial Deployments met with mixed results as the explosive bolt system did not always center the Ibiks Turret where it could rotate freely. Engineers re-designed the core from the ground up and a slightly wider core channel fixed the problem. Deployments of the finished Capacitor Citadel tested very well in handling both heavily armed and armored techs, and small swarms of small to medium fast techs. Only the most heavily armed techs can peirce the layered Havoc shields and thick armor to damage the volatile Power Core within. The Capacitor Citadel was built with a number of external racks for mounting additional weapons systems or attaching other base components to the Power Core. In the end, Geocorp Markets the structure to various Mining companies and wealthy private sector prospectors, with Hawkeye gleaning a generous cut of the profits and full production rights for their own Military Enterprises.

Ox-Head () and Horse-Face () are two guardians or types of guardians of the underworld in Chinese mythology. As indicated by their names, both have the bodies of men, but Ox-Head has the head of an ox while Horse-Face has the face of a horse. They are the first beings a dead soul encounters upon entering the underworld; in many stories they directly escort the newly dead to the underworld.

Role

In their duties as guardians of Diyu, the realm of the dead, their role is to capture human souls who have reached the end of their earthly existence and bring them before the courts of Hell. Souls are then rewarded or punished based on the actions performed in their lifetime.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face also play the role of messengers of the king of hell, Yanluo Wang (閻羅王). Ox-Head has also been "created" by the latter took pity by the arrival of a newly dead ox, who had worked hard all his life: he made him one of his faithful servants.

Chinese mythology
In the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, Ox-Head and Horse-Face are among the underworld denizens overpowered by Sun Wukong after his soul is dragged to hell in his sleep. He then crosses out his name and those of all non-human primates on earth from the record of living souls, hence granting a second level of immortality to himself and general immortality to his monkey children.

Japanese mythology
In Japanese mythology, Ox-Head and Horse-Face are known as "Gozu" and "Mezu" respectively. They appear in classical Japanese literature such as the Konjaku Monogatarishū and Taiheiki. In The Tale of the Heike, they appear in an ominous dream of Taira no Tokiko.

Vietnamese mythology
In Vietnamese mythology, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face are called Đầu Trâu and Mặt Ngựa or Ngưu Đầu''' and Mã Diện''. They are also responsible for leading people's souls to the underworld after death.

Q: Show/hide stack panel child elements I have a stackpanel a TextBlock. When i tap on it,I want to display a couple of text boxes right below TextBlock and within the stack panel. And when I tap on TextBlock again the textboxes should not be visible. How can I accompalish this by just using XAML?

A: By just using XAML and nothing else, you can't. You have to have either a code behind or a view model bound to the page.
Add all textboxes to the StackPanel and set their Visibility to Collapsed. Also give each one a name using the x:Name property. As for your TextBlock, set IsHitTestVisible to true and add Tap handler. In the tap handler change the visibility of the previously added and named TextBoxes.
In case you want to use MVVM, bind visibility to some bool value and add converter from bool to visibility. Also add an event to command trigger to the text block element and handle it in your view model - there you will toggle the same bool property that all those text boxes are bound to.

This sounds like some kind of religious rite you probably don't want to deal with, but that's not true at all. When an oven features a Sabbath Mode, it simply means the oven has a "hold" feature that keeps foods warm for an extended period of time. It's like those red lamps you see in restaurants that keep dishes toasty until the server has a chance to deliver them. If you need to hold dinner because your significant other is working late -- again -- this is a great feature that will save you a lot of hassles and dried-out meatloaf.

Damian Lillard and the Trail Blazers Avoid Elimination in Game 4 (VIDEO)
by Marcel Mutoni April 28, 2015
The Portland Trail Blazers aren't starting their summer vacations just yet: Damian Lillard went off for 32 points Monday night, in a 99-92 must-win against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.
The Blazers, down 3-0 coming into last night's game, gutted out a victory and lived to play another day.
Lillard, in particular, refused to let his team wither away when things began to look bleak in the fourth quarter.
Per The Oregonian:
With an inspired and emotional Damian Lillard delivering another "Lillard Time" moment, with Meyers Leonard and CJ McCollum providing their most important performances in the NBA and with 15 players hell-bent on avoiding a sweep, the Blazers overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Grizzlies and snatch momentum in the best-of-seven series. […] "I thought everybody came in here like it was our last game," LaMarcus Aldridge said. "And we got one."
"(Lillard) was like, 'We won't lose this game,'" Batum said. "He started everything." […] "I've never seen him like that," Batum said. "Not like that. Not with so much passion. There was blood in his eyes."
"The big thing we've been talking about is having heart and playing with pride and just not being swept," Lillard said. "People always say, 'Nobody's ever done it, coming back from 0-3.' And we didn't want to focus on that. We wanted to focus on today and doing everything we had to do to give ourselves a chance to keep playing. […] So in the huddles, I wanted to just do my best job of keep reminding the team that, 'Hey, this is it. We have to stay locked in, keep playing with energy, keep pushing the ball,' just the things that we might not even recognize we're doing. Just kind of bring it to light consistently, so we don't forget what's giving us a chance in the game tonight."

Hartley Sawyer Last Tape Day at Y&R Tomorrow! Final Airdate As Kyle January 27th!
On-Air On-Soaps was in touch with a rep from CBS and The Young and the Restless this morning, and we can report that Hartley Sawyer will finish up his role of Kyle Abbott tomorrow, December 17th at the sound stages of the number one soap opera at CBS.
Fans of the series will see Sawyer last appear on-screen in the upcoming January 27th episode. There is still no word as to whether the show plans to recast the role, or not.
As we previously reported, Sawyer took over the role of Kyle back in March 0f 2013, after replacing Blake Hood in the role of the son of Jack Abbott and Diane Jenkins!
Still the jury has been out among fans which of the two adult Kyle's they liked better, and if they would like to see a recast of the role, and if so, who should Y&R bring in! We will keep you posted on any more details emerge on the role!

I thought Blake Hood was great. He portrayed the grown-up, Ivy League, silver-spoon Kyle well. I liked his chemistry with Hunter King (Summer) better too. When the news finally comes out that Summer is not really Jack's daughter, they will be free to re-kindle their romance. Also, this has nothing to do with anything but just an observation . . . Blake Hood could easily be Adam Newman's brother or son. I think they look very much alike. Happy Holidays to you Michael Fairman!!
Blake Hood was great other than that unfortunate resemblance to Michael Muhney.
Lol (crickets chirping)
I personally think they aged Kyle to old. Kyle should have been aged to a teenager; instead of someone in their early twenties. Kyle could have been a part of the teen storyline with Fen and Summer in High school when the bullying storyline was going on. I wish Hartley well in future roles.
Zack Conroy or Trent Garrett
Sharleen
I liked both of them. When any new actor comes aboard it takes me a little while to get use to them in the role, but then I do. Blake seemed to be younger and may have fit better with Summer, but when it came down to being part of the business I think Hartley fit the part better. I was looking forward to seeing Hartley Sawyer as the mole in Victor's company. Anything to finally let Jack win over Victor. Best of luck to you Hartley.
Hartley Sawyer, the best for you..
Hope you find work !!
It's always sad for the actor when he loses his job and perhaps a dream..
Hope to see him in a show, soon 🙂
It was Sawyer who wanted to leave, he has a job on a web series!
So long horrible actor!
jaybird369
My thoughts exactly!!!!! Yep.
YES! This is fantastic news! Hartley Sawyer was a terrible recast, one which I never understood, because Blake Hood was so much better. Thank god he's leaving, I couldn't stand him; aside from the fact that he didn't suit the role at all, he was always really creepy looking. As far as a recast goes, I wouldn't mind seeing Blake Hood return to the role, but maybe consider Tom Pelphrey from ATWT? I think he'd be good for the role. Honestly though, three adult actors playing Kyle in under two years… maybe they should just give the role a rest… Read more »

Wishing Sawyer the very best; it was tough for me to get on board with him initially, but he really grew on me and showed some terrific acting chops; holding his own with Braeden, Bergman and Stafford. He has a very bright future!
Christine Milligan
Goodbye Lurch!!
Bring back Blake Hood. I never understood why they fired him. Y&R has been making some very bad casting decisions.
cj (jo)
Really liked Hartley as a business guy, a suit, far more convincing than the guy who plays Noah ( sorry never could get into R Adamson, poor casting).
Hartley wasn't given a fair chance, the writing wasn't stellar.
Good luck to him! He's a great actor with stage presence!
Eva LaRue Reveals COVID-19 Diagnosis
Days of our Lives Mike Manning (Charlie) has been one busy actor; not only appearing on the NBC daytime drama series and in the digital drama series, The Bay, but also in the new film Son of the South.
The film will be released on February 5th and was executive produced by Oscar-winning director, Spike Lee. In story, Son of the South is about the grandson of a Klansman who comes of age in the deep south and eventually joins the Civil Rights Movement. The film is based on Bob Zellner's autobiography "The Wrong Side of Murder Creek."
Manning plays the role of Townsend Ellis, and the actor took to his Twitter account on Monday, during Martin Luther King Day, to let his fans know to be on the lookout for the film and why it is such an important piece for our time.
Mike expressed: " I think #MLKDay is a good day to tell you "Son of The South" will be out Feb. 5th. I hope it strengthens the dialogue our country is currently having about the fight for equality on all fronts. Exec produced by Oscar-winner Spike Lee. Proud of this one.@son_movie"

Kamehameha's Kaahanui officially back
By Jerry Campany on September 9, 2013 | Cross Country, Featured

The last time Kamehameha's Davis Kaahanui approached the starting line at a cross country meet, he dusted a field of Hawaii's best runners by more than 30 seconds last October.
The next time he toed the line, he might have been even more impressive.
Kaahanui finished second in the Honolulu Marathon/Kaiser Invitational cross country meet on Saturday, beating all Hawaii competition but losing to Jackson Marshall of Woodbridge (Calif.) by 12 seconds.

That's OK, though, Kaahanui was just happy to be there.
The senior won the ILH and state championships last year before suffering a stress fracture that kept him out of last year's track and field season. He trained hard over the summer, but hadn't run against real competition since.
He put in a time of 17 minutes, 7.9 seconds at the state meet and was even faster on Saturday with a 16:23.80. He beat his closest competition from the ILH, Jaques Hebert of Punahou, by a full 24 seconds in the warm-up.
Makai Clemons of Kalaheo finished three seconds behind Kaahanui at Kaiser, but has the early time to beat on Oahu with a 16:12.84 in a preaseason meet in Radford. Clemons has the top two times among OIA boys in the early going, but teammate Pierce Humble (16:47 at Radford), Mililani's Jakob Dewald (17:06 at Aiea) and Carlos Rodriguez of Radford (17:18 at Radford) are within striking distance.
Grossman's still got it
Seabury Hall's Dakota Grossman began her quest for a fourth straight state championship with a win in the Kamehameha-Hawaii Preseason Invitational on Saturday.
Grossman clocked an 18:38.77 and nobody was even close, beating Hilo's Kamahena Sabado Halpern by a full minute. Grossman has never cracked 19 minutes in a state championship race, but made it look possible over the weekend.
Amanda Beaman of 'Iolani seems to carry Oahu's best hope in the early going, winning at Kaiser with a time of 19:36.33 to become the first Oahu girl to break 20 minutes in a varsity competition.
That meet was dominated by the ILH, with Punahou's Kailey Totherow finishing second in 20:02 and Kai Hoshijo of Kamehameha taking third in 20:08. Pearl City's Maile Shigemasa paced OIA runners with a 20:29 after running a 20:56 at Aiea.
The ILH's next meet is Saturday at Kamehameha, while the OIA splits into three competitions the same day.


The Real captain received his 25th red card in club football as Girona came from behind to claim an unexpected victory at the Bernabeu Stadium with goals from Cristhian Stuani and Portu.
Defeat ended Real's five-match winning run and left them third in the table, nine points behind leaders Barcelona.
It was a result that seemed unlikely at half-time with Real having dominated the opening period and taken a 25th-minute lead through Casemiro.
But the European champions failed to make the most of their superiority and lost control in the second half.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois almost snatched a point when he headed wide having gone forward for an injury-time corner.
Girona first showed their threat as Stuani broke into the area early on but Courtois met him and smothered his effort.
Real then took control with Lucas Vazquez skipping through on goal after linking well with Toni Kroos, but Yassine Bounou produced a fine save.
Real threatened again when Marco Asensio created an opening and whipped in a dangerous low cross but nobody could get a touch. The hosts were then almost caught out as Girona quickly countered and Stuani lashed in another shot, but Courtois pushed away.
Real went ahead when Casemiro rose to head home a Kroos free-kick.
That lifted the hosts and Karim Benzema was inches away from doubling the lead as he stretched to reach an Alvaro Odriozola cross. Marcelo then fired over and had a strike ruled out for offside on the stroke of half-time.
Marcelo forced a save from Bounou early in the second period and Benzema headed a clear chance into the side-netting as Real stepped up the pressure.
But they were to pay for their profigacy as Girona fought back.
They served a warning just before the hour when Anthony Lozano tested Courtois with a header and Aleix Garcia wastefully slammed the rebound over the bar.
Their equaliser came from the penalty spot after Stuani headed against the post and Douglas Luiz's follow-up attempt was blocked by the arm of Ramos. Stuani coolly slotted home.
Real were stunned and they had a narrow escape when Portu hit the woodwork with a powerful drive.
The visitors pushed on and were rewarded 15 minutes from time. Lozano extended Courtois with a superb low curling shot and the keeper could only parry. Portu bravely rushed in to head the loose ball into the net.
Real tried to respond with substitute Vinicius Junior twice going close with long-range efforts.
Their hopes seemed over when Ramos received a second caution for dangerous play after catching an opponent with an overhead kick in the last minute.
There was time for one last chance but Courtois' header flew narrowly wide.

Words that inspire
By Ted Lai
The panelists provided unique views on global learning.
Live ISTE Blog – One of my favorite quotes comes from Uncle Ben of Spider-Man fame… "With great power, comes great responsibility." I'm pretty sure that Stan Lee wasn't thinking about ISTE keynotes when he penned that well-used phrase. However, that's the quote that comes to my mind when I consider the impact that a well-thought out, well-delivered keynote can provide.
After years of attending conferences, I've seen terrible keynotes, great ones, and everything in between. I've seen solo keynote presentations, panel discussions, and a plethora of combinations and permutations there of. After all these years at conferences, I'm still amazed and thrilled when I see a keynote speaker or panel that "sings" with its message. What do I mean by that (because I'm definitely not talking about karaoke)? I mean that I appreciate all the keynotes where the message is clear, powerful, and well-delivered, and it resonates with the audience.
Overall, I really like keynotes. It's the theory of "Educational Amway" to the highest degree. That's why I became a tech trainer. Instead of teaching 20-30 kids, I could teach 20-30 teachers at a time who each teach 20-30 students. That theory is magnified with keynotes. When you're doing a huge keynote presentation, the potential base of students that you can affect is even greater… You might be speaking to 200-300 or 2,000-3,000 or more educators, and that's why I like keynotes. That said, it's imperative that organizations really consider who they bring in for keynotes because it's not just the message, it's the way that information is delivered. Just like how we encourage our teachers to engage all learners, it's important that all keynote presenters do the same with the audience.
In Tuesday's keynote, "Innovation and Excellence: Buzzwords or Global Imperative?," the audience was treated to a panel discussion that included Karen Cator, director of the Office of Education Technology, U.S. Department of Education; Jean-François Rischard, former VP of the World Bank; Shaun Koh, a student from Singapore; and Terry Godwaldt, director of programming with the Centre for Global Education. It's rare to see panel discussions for a keynote session, but I enjoy that format. The goal of a keynote should be to get audience members to question… It should challenge listeners to think… It should inspire us to action. Panel discussions expand the opportunities for inspiration. With four opinions, often divergent, you can quadruple the potential connections with the audience. With four styles of delivery, you can reach more learners.
Tuesday's keynote was a powerful panel. Godwaldt brought a global perspective in a charming way. Koh offered enthusiasm and insight of a youthful voice. Cator provided passion and some of the most well-thought-out ideas. Rischard contributed solid ideas as well, albeit in a tone and energy level that brought back memories of multi-hour college lectures. Although I began watching the keynote in the theatre, I ended up going to the Bloggers' Cafe to watch it on ISTEvision so that I could observe reactions of my peers.
Several of the ideas and thoughts resonated with the audience (me included), and there were just as many nods of the head as smiles and thoughtful expressions. As with the best of keynotes, whether you personally agreed or disagreed with the statements by the panelists, their comments made you think. They made you discuss. I hope that the majority of conference goers who listened in will also be empowered to action as well. The dialogue is open… Now what will we do with it? As Karen Cator said, change can happen quickly with a motivated grassroots movement.
