The Birth of Black America: The First African Americans and the Pursuit of Freedom at Jamestown
Tim Hashaw, Author . Carroll & Graf $26.95 (329p) ISBN 978-0-78671-718-7
Hashaw (Children of Perdition: Melungeons and the Struggle for Mixed America ) offers a welcome variation on early America and the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. Historians have long known that Africans first appeared in the Virginia record in 1619. Hashaw traces those first black Virginians back to Portuguese Angola: they were captives on a Spanish slave ship, which was attacked by two pirate vessels that eventually transported 60 or so Africans to Virginia and Bermuda. Hashaw recreates the lives some of these early African Virginians made for themselves: Benjamin Doll purchased six indentured English servants, became a plantation owner, learned to read and write, and was appointed by a white widow to serve as her attorney. Another eventually purchased African slaves. Perhaps straining to find a partially happy ending to the tragic first scene in the history of American racial slavery, Hashaw notes that Angolan Virginians participated in Bacon's Rebellion, and he suggests that the 1676 revolt was the first expression of a fighting spirit that culminated in abolition. Hashaw offers both an exciting story of crime on the high seas and a fascinating social history of 17th-century black America. Illus., maps. (Feb. 5)


Health Information Exchange (HIE): Navigating and Managing a Network of Health Information Systems allows health professionals to appropriately access, and securely share, patients' vital medical information electronically, thus improving the speed, quality, safety, and cost of patient care.

Middle East Historian Colin Shindler's Appointment Hailed By Conservatives
by Asaf Romirowsky

Source: Campus Watch (10-12-08)
One of the greatest myths in Middle East studies departments across North America and Europe is that the presence of an Israeli faculty member makes a "balanced" department. In fact, many Israeli academics have built their reputation on scholarship that is critical of Israel and its existence. These academics are frequently given center stage by the Association for Israel Studies, the Middle East Studies Association and Middle East studies centers, which host them and provide visiting appointments. This gives the scholars the visibility they seek, while allowing their hosts to claim balance in presenting an "Israeli viewpoint."

The University of Bohol (UB) on Monday paid tribute to Estrella Bersamen-Catalan, a nurse in the United Kingdom who died of COVID-19 in February, and expressed its sincere condolences to her family over her passing.
In a statement on Monday, Dr. Victoriano B. Tirol, III, president of UB, said that "University of Bohol joins the entire nation in mourning for the demise of a Boholana nurse Estrella Catalan who died of COVID-19 at the age of 52."
Catalan graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1989 from UB, the first university in Bohol province.
"The UB Family is very proud of her for being an extra miler, dedicated medical front-liner, and professional health worker. Indeed, she truly lived up to the trinity of virtues of this institution –scholarship, character, and service," the statement said.
Before her death, Catalan was with Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) in the UK as an emergency department staff nurse for 18 years.
She died in the line of service in helping others fight against the disease.
Estrella was born and raised in Barangay Tugas, Candijay town. She was married to Melvin Catalan, an engineer from La Carlota City, Negros Occidental. They have three sons- John, Vince and Josuah. Vince died two years ago.
Last week, more than 100 hospital staff have paid tribute to Estrella.
Sam Higginson, NNUH chief executive, said Catalan was a wonderful person and a caring and conscientious nurse who loved to teach and mentor students.

Social IT outbursts: Test first – don't hire an analyst? Project management reorged.
Business, sales & marketing, ITIL, and web development.
Test first – don't hire an analyst? Project management reorged.
Coders are being asked to write tests before coding. Testing first sounds cutting edge. But let's get real. You don't have anything to test so it's not testing. It has to be something else.
I'm not objecting to the practice, just the naming. That's because I'm thinking like an analyst instead of a programmer. Naming determines the direction of the thoughts from that point on. We shouldn't tell people to test something they don't have because it's not right.
Ask any Denver bound passenger on a plane to navigate where they are going. The chances of getting to Denver are about as good as having a project complete successfully without analysis. The analysis is your plan, your map, and your radar. The destination is your business goal.
There are several concurrent workflows during a project. Each basic workflow takes up a majority of the current activity during the project at some point can occur concurrently with most other workflows. Here's my version of the project workflow without any particular allegiance to another methodology. It's what I've found to be a cohesive set of activities that require unique skill sets.
What do you do when you test?
Testing is about two things. It's about validation and verification. Validation is checking stuff that has been planned and making sure that the plan was carried out. Verification is about seeing happy faces on your stakeholders no matter what they said and what you wrote down in your plan. Valid product + verified happiness = project success.
Testing can start as early as the requirements phase. Since the project is being expressed as testable statements, it follows that testing can start early. The information that is extracted at that point is useful for planning and setup. Then more planning is done throughout analysis and design for the large scale types of tests that match up with the large granular data definitions and workflows.
When the granularity of design comes down to chunks of code and individual statements, you still have testing that goes on. It is this drill down into the finer details of design that the test first advocates are talking about. Here the design is put forth as a supposition and as it gets implemented it is pushed back into the validity loop of testing. Hopefully, there's enough high-level analysis and design to make this low level design and testing stress free for the coder.
Testing is not what is done before you write code. It doesn't matter how much you like Kent Beck. Kent says that Test Driven Development (TDD) is a style of development. So, it's not a style of testing? What's the first step? It's assert. What do you assert? Now you have to go to your data and workflow models to figure that out. What? No analysis and design models? But if you did have some analysis, then you could do technical design and get the rough sketch of the code.
The TDD coder is supposed to come up with types of tests to run (analysis level testing), rename identifiers (analysis), assert first (analysis), test data (design level testing), and practice this iteratively. If the analysis and design work had been done previously, the coder could use it.
And if you don't have any of that, you do the best you can and try to figure it out. Some programmers use pseudocode and activity models called flowcharts for their technical design. They were trained to take exercises in programming class and wrangle them into code without any supporting analysis or design. Management got trained into thinking that the real world was the same and programmers could pseudocode the entire business project given enough bright students.
Most of the principles used in TDD are based on doing what hasn't been done before which leads to higher stress in the programmer because they have a greater responsibility. With the TDD process in a less than perfect design world, the programmer has a way to manage this chaotic development cycle from their chair. Management is more satisfied when the coder does the analysis and design on the computer because a business analyst position would cost money. Productive work on computer is good, work on paper – not so good.
Make it work first, then make it better.
The mantra of TDD is red/green/refactor. When I personally use it in practice it turns out to be, guess/make it work/make it better. I was told to do that by senior programmers. I've been doing that as a programmer for too many years as a way to manage when the analysis wasn't done. Guess what the stakeholders want and try to get it into words that you can manage. Then turn that best guess into workable code that won't break. And if you have any time after that, give it some thought on how to reduce the code or make it more reusable.
I know that Beck is more interested in getting the gap controlled between decision (design) and feedback (test) so any thinking is good when it shortcuts the path to better code. But analysis isn't good at giving feedback so to a programmer, it's better to have some concrete metric of success rather than a bunch of papers. Write another automated test. One more green light.
Maybe that's partially the fault of revamping our programming curriculum in school and leaving out structured programming. The dearth of analysis after object oriented programming took over had the programmers clamoring for some sort of control that worked.
What's the most important quality of a requirement? It's testability. So if you gather some related needs and can conceive of a test for them, then it usually becomes a good requirement. The remaining tests are easy to extrude from the requirement.
I think coders flipped this on its head. They say that they should be able to conceive of a test and see if it fits the requirement. From their perspective, it makes sense because they have to see the linkage back into the stakeholders' requirements from where they sit in their 8x8' cube. Without guidance they have to draw the map.
But coders aren't looking at the big picture so I'm against TDD being a stand-in for analysis. It works for low-level design though. And it makes sense. So as long as the analysis is sufficient, TDD works well as a design phase validation of the requirements in analysis to the working code put to the fire by automated tests. If activity is anything before the unit tests, the lowest level test possible, then it's not about the test, it's about the requirements.

Veldheer Drives from Indy to Green Bay to Rejoin Packers
After starting two games for the Indianapolis Colts, the Green Bay Packers grabbed Jared Veldheer off their practice squad.
Bill Huber
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Jared Veldheer, who saved the Packers' bacon when he replaced Bryan Bulaga for last year's NFC Divisional playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, is back in Green Bay, according to a source.
Veldheer went through COVID testing in Indianapolis on Monday, then hopped in a car for the six-hour drive to Green Bay, the source said.
Veldheer was coaxed out of retirement to join the Indianapolis Colts for their playoff push following Anthony Costanzo's season-ending injury. Initially signed to their practice squad, he was elevated and started in Week 17 and again for Saturday's wild-card playoff game. After the loss to Buffalo, Veldheer reverted back to the practice squad. That's how the Packers snagged him.
Veldheer was not signed to replace All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari. Rather, he will provide critical depth behind the new starting tandem of left tackle Billy Turner and right tackle Rick Wagner. However, with Wagner's on-again, off-again knee problems, he could be a vital addition.
In two games with Indianapolis, Pro Football Focus charged Veldheer with zero sacks, one quarterback hit and six total pressures in 76 pass-protecting snaps.
A 12-game starter in 2018 for Denver, Veldheer signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Patriots on May 13, 2019. He went through the first practice of the team's OTAs on May 20. That was it. A lingering hip issue was too much to withstand. A day later, he told coach Bill Belichick of his decision to retire.
While Veldheer was retired, he kept up his training. Feeling better, he asked for his release by the Patriots and was grabbed by the Packers.
A month after joining the team, he replaced Bulaga (concussion) at Detroit with a first-round bye on the line. Two weeks later, with Bulaga out due to the illness that had swept through the locker room, he was the emergency starter in the playoff win over Seattle. In a total of 53 pass-protecting snaps, he did not allow a single pressure, according to PFF.
"It was an unbelievable opportunity," he said at the end of last season. "It was really cool how it all played out. I was driving down [from his home in Michigan to Indiana] to visit family on Thanksgiving, got claimed and came up here. We had won every game until yesterday. It was one of the more fun seasons that I've been a part of. To actually be a part of it and play in some big situations was really great. To get to know everybody and be a part of the history here, it was really cool.
"It's unbelievable. In sitting back and going back to Week 1, the opening kickoff, when I was in the stands at Soldier Field, to think that later in the season I was going to be a part of that team and be able to lend a hand to the journey – the thought didn't even cross my mind. It's funny how life works and what you can make of it if you want to. It was cool."

"weekly rage-filled bashing"
Mark Newgent
As if the Baltimore Sun needed to further validate itself as a house organ of the Maryland Democratic Party, its editorial board served up a gem of agitprop on Sunday that could have been written by David Paulson himself. We shouldn't be surprised this has always been the Sun's imperative.
I know the O'Malley rehabilitation project is underway to resurrect his poll numbers which are floating somewhere near the Titanic, but the old trick of using Bob Ehrlich as the bogeyman is really pathetic. The Sun's curious editorial couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that The Washington Post just laid out O'Malley for assisting Nat Exum's race baiting influence peddling, which will allow more unsafe vehicles to remain on our streets.
Notice how the Sun never mentioned BGE/Constellation, or the Kudner Farms and Langenfelder land deal scandals. To be honest the Sun had a tin ear for those issues to begin with.
I had the pleasure of appearing on the Ehrlich's radio show and I can tell you there was no rage-filled bashing, on-air or off. In fact, if the Sun is looking for any rage on WBAL they need only look at their paramour's own "rage-filled" threat to WBAL radio hosts.
Trending: Red Maryland Segment on WGMD with Mike Bradley 1-16-2020
If you really want to know who is angry, try looking at the taxpayers and electricity ratepayers of Maryland, who have been continually hosed by the O'Malley administration.
Mark Newgent, a 2014 Breitbart Award winner, is the editor of Watchdog Wire - Maryland, and a contributing editor to Red Maryland, the premiere blog of conservative politics in the Free State, voted one of the best state political blogs by the Washington Post two years in a row. His writing has appeared in the Baltimore Sun, Washington Examiner, National Review Online, and more.

Riga has hosted an experts' discussion on the role of campuses in urbanisation of knowledge
The part of Riga known as Pārdaugava (the Left Bank of River Daugava) has already become a significant academic centre and hub of knowledge, given the fact that around half of all students of Latvian higher education institutions are studying in the area. With campuses being developed there, the role of Pārdaugava in urbanisation of knowledge will obviously become more important, as concluded by the experts during the discussion of project Live Baltic Campus, carried out by Riga Planning Region.
This experts' meeting, already the second round of discussions on developing campuses in Riga, was devoted to the role of campuses in urbanisation of knowledge in Pardaugava.
Mr Emīls Rode, expert of Riga Planning Region and project Live Baltic Campus, points out that, according to the international experience, hubs of innovation are not equally distributed all over the country; instead, they are concentrated in certain areas. The ecosystem of knowledge is not abstract, it is solidly based in certain locations. University campus develops itself as a city, while the city where campus is located undertakes the functions of a campus.
Ms Agrita Kiopa, director of the Higher Education, Science and Innovation Department of the Ministry of Education and Science, admits that Latvia still has a long road to go before it is able to compete with other European states in terms of innovation. The Ministry puts effort in conjoining science and higher education in order to increase potential in generating competitive products and specific knowledge. Higher education institutions have a huge role in the innovation system, so it is important that they create people with knowledge, who would later on enter the industry. These institutions must have a strong link with entrepreneurship, so that there would be a result from the given effort.
Ms Kitija Gruškevica, Deputy Rector for Infrastructure Development for the University of Latvia, emphasises that it will be necessary to organise such meetings even more frequently, so that the representatives of major higher education institutions would come together and discuss important questions regarding development. Currently, the campus of the University of Latvia is being developed in a way that it would become as a meeting location for experts, researchers, students from all spheres, as well as entrepreneurs; this would generate an environment that is beneficial to innovation.
As Mr Aigars Ločmelis, Deputy Rector for Infrastructure Development for Riga Technical University (RTU), admits, higher education institutions have a common goal to have cooperation between themselves and also the State in order to increase their ability to compete with their counterparts from abroad that increasingly address their potential students in Latvia and try to attract them. Development of RTU campus also can be considered as a step in the needed direction because it allows to optimise resources that are allocated to administration and management, which can further be allocated to the purposes of increasing the potential of knowledge.
Mr Mārtiņš Menniks, representative of Riga Stradiņš University (RSU) points out that the general territorial development plans of RSU provide a logical and rational step of concentrating the administration, study premises, research centres, as well as student dormitories, on premises that will be on the left bank of Daugava, given the fact that two hospitals of national importance, where also a significant part of the study process takes place, are located there.
Mr Guntars Ruskuls, Director of the Strategic Planning Division of the City Development Department of Riga City Council, considers that all the planned campuses are a good stimulus for developing Riga as a metropolis of Northern Europe. One of the challenges that Riga encounters is depopulation, therefore, the city must do its best to attract new inhabitants. The management carefully develops plans for the future of the city, so that the questions regarding transport and infrastructure would be already resolved and the city would be ready to accommodate students that will arrive in greater numbers, as soon as campuses are be built. Mr Ruskuls also points out that higher education institutions play a huge role in the development of city. As a notable example is the mere fact that when the city authorities hold talks with potential investors, for them it is important that local higher education institutions be able to provide the necessary amount of certain specialists – for example, the field of nanotechnology.
Previous discussion in this April was devoted to an experts' discussion regarding the development of a campus in Torņakalns, Riga, as well as the role of a campus in creation of a well-integrated socio-economic environment in Pārdaugava.

Fred and the Gang aim to visit Fred's cousin Jed at the Monstrous Fright and Magic (MFM) movie special effects company. Upon arrival they find Jed has disappeared and so has the formula for Mubber, the substance MFM use to create their special effect animatronic robots used in the movies.
Mystery Inc. needs to find Jed and the formula to unravel the mystery! In true traditional Scooby style you can explore a Haunted Mansion, Museum, Amusement Park, Circus, and some Sewers.
Scooby-Doo! Unmasked DS is played in 2.5 dimensions like Kim Possible: Kimmunicator (also by A2M). So although you move through a 3d environment, your motion is along a curve.
The gameplay is driven by collecting Scooby Snacks, and mubber. Snacks increase your health, but collect enough mubber and you can wear one of four costumes, each of which has a different move to extend the gameplay.
Most enemies you encounter are animatronic creations of MFM and you can collect their mubber for your own uses. Each environment has clues to be collected and a trap to be set, wear your costumes to collect the clues, then take them to Velma to use the touch screen to decipher them. Take trap peices to Fred to create a trap for the enemy. Once the clues are deciphered and the trap is set Shaggy and Scooby embark on a chase to capture the enemies. These chases take the place of traditional video game boss fights. They are funny and in keeping with the action style of the television show.

Looking for more information on Vampire/Dahaka? Look no further!
For ages his clan had ruled their own lands, but the world they knew was swept away by the Cataclysm. The borders of all the domains laying within the new Imperium were redrawn to encompass Prime deposits, and what was once an independent province became the backwater of a large domain.
A few decades later, a young Lord arrived to meet his new subjects. He was shown every courtesy—during the day, that is. When night fell, the Master of the Tower, the last scion of the ancient Scarlet Rose clan, attacked him with curses, yelling, "I shall not suffer subservience to any Imperium!" The Lord's faithful heroes managed to subdue the attacker, but the Lord himself was nevertheless amazed by the Master's sheer power and awesome swordsmanship—it is rare indeed for a mere human to stand against two heroes.
"You have rebelled against Imperial authority and deserve to die, but I shall give you a final chance: drink a chalice of Prime, and you may be rewarded with a new life instead of death," said the young Dokht lord to his captive.
Thus from Prime arose Vampire, a hero thirsting for the blood and vitality of his foes. The Scarlet Rose, the symbol of his ancient clan, now eases the suffering of the Dokht Imperium's many enemies by cutting their earthly existence short with the Bloody Slash of its owner's rapier. The Vampire uses the Blood Ritual to restore his vitality, consuming the blood of his foes before disappearing into the gloom.

Grayson: We have to learn from the mistakes
Head Coach Simon Grayson spoke to the press after his side were beaten 2-1 at the LNER Stadium on Saturday afternoon against Lincoln City.
Town took the lead in superb fashion thanks to a spectacular Danny Andrew free kick in the first half, but a brace from Anthony Scully including a penalty with minutes to go meant that Fleetwood leave Lincolnshire empty-handed.
Here is what he had to say:
On the result...
"We're really frustrated because it was two contrasting halves, in the first half we were really dominant and they didn't cause us many problems whatsoever, we got the goal and performed really well where at half-time I told them to keep doing what they were doing and to make it difficult for them.
"The second half we gave it away too much and invited pressure onto ourselves, Lincoln are a good team, but they didn't threaten us in the first half, but in the second half we gave the ball away too easily and made daft decisions which cost us the game."
On the squad's mentality...
"They are a young squad and for 90% of the game they do really well, but that 10% costs you a win or at least a point - today we have lost another, but we have to learn from the mistakes we're making these times, it's a tough industry, we can stand here and say we didn't deserve to lose, but we did and that's our third loss of the season."
On turning around the current form...
"We said the same thing after our previous two matches against Portsmouth and Stoke, we play really well in the opening 45 minutes, but we lost the games and football is all about results and is driven by that, we have a lot of youth, but they're in the first team because of their quality, but all the group have to grow up and learn quickly.
"On the one positive side of it, we can say that we do play well and that we know that the first win is just around the corner, but we do have to learn from every game that we are involved in, staff-wise and then the players as well, whether you are 36 or 18 we have to learn, take the positives and realise we're all in this together."

Sam Walch was always the class cut up, the family clown, the one who knew how to use humor to socialize with both strangers and friends. But when he took those tendencies on the road as a standup comedian for eight years, he worked on jokes, punch lines and his comedy routine the way an elite athlete trains. That's one of the myths about comedy – humor may come naturally, but being funny on a nightclub stage takes repetition, practice and guts.
Walch, 55, is an instructor in the College of Arts and Sciences, teaching public speaking and theories of comedy. It's something he started in 2004 and never fails to enjoy. In recent years, he has found himself enjoying his volunteer role as a coach of local public officials and notable personalities who are doing comedy to raise money for an event called Laughter is the Best Medicine. It benefits SalusCare, a local not-for-profit organization that helps people with mental health and substance use issues in Southwest Florida.
Here are Walch's tips for how to do successful standup comedy: Remember anyone can be funny: Anyone who loves the feeling of making people laugh can be a comedian. When Walch emceed at a Gainesville comedy club, he saw housewives, doctors and street people evoke laughter. "I've never met anyone without a sense of humor," he says. You just need acute observation skills, a bit of emotional detachment and a dose of cynicism.
Memorize your routine: Being on stage is wholly different from practicing in private. If your routine is not committed to memory and an audience member flusters you, you lose your rhythm. Once a crowd senses that, you've lost them. Practice by going to open mic nights. Fifteen minutes can feel like an hour if you're not prepared.
Make sure each joke has a punch line: There is no formula that works 100 percent of the time, but if you structure your routine so it flows logically and punctuate every joke with a punch line, that's what triggers laughs. "There are only so many premises out there, so make your joke your own story and use your own delivery style. We all see things different ways, so use your attitude and cadence." Consider a joke a scripted version of a story with the sole purpose of making the audience laugh.
Set a laugh-per-minute goal: When you write jokes and punch lines, keep in mind you need a laugh every 15 seconds, otherwise your audience will lose interest. "It's hard to write that much material," Walch says. That's why most comedians are Type A, uber-focused people off stage. They write, they practice, then they write more.

New Release By April And the Drift About the Holidays
On August 11, 2021 By admin
April And The Drift is a duo known for their innovative and original sound and their latest release "Sunday Mornings" in no exception. "Sunday Mornings" is the name of their latest reggae release, which conveys the appropriate message with its very simple to-the-point message.
April And The Drift made its debut with their first album "Shorelines" and has since then many times continued to contribute to the modern music industry with a number of original songs. The song was produced by Fidel Carmona, who also arranged the instruments.
In the writer's perspective as a lyricist and singer, the sharp difference between the Sunday morning mood and the Monday morning sensation can be very different. When one has the time to wake up slowly and focus on the important things in life, life is better, the singer-songwriter, April, explains. Another reason why the artist believes that Monday, and maybe also Tuesday, should be declared a public holiday across the globe is due to how there are very few things in this life that can leave you feeling much worse than spending almost all of your wakeful hours on some type of monetary work, which may, first of all, not really be suitable for you, and therefore also, not really helping you grow into best kind of person you could otherwise be spending your time on growing into becoming.
The singer further elaborates by saying how she has no clue who came up with the concept of defining "regular" employment as working Monday through to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the overwhelming part of the year as "normal", although she would be very excited to learn some more about it from those who continue to promote this human lifestyle as still, the way of the future. She goes on and elaborates how "nothing is really work unless you'd rather be spending your time on something else". Tragically, a lot of well-paying modern jobs does not necessarily entail the activities that she believes could help us all grow into better people, like for instance, writing and playing more music.
These are the topics, which are addressed in the story of "Sunday Mornings" and it is almost certain that the listeners will enjoy this wonderfully chilled modern jazzreggae journey of a song.

Montignac-le-Coq (okzitanisch: Montinhac) ist eine kleine französische Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im Département Charente in der französischen Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Lage
Montignac-le-Coq liegt in der Kulturlandschaft des Angoumois, etwa zehn Kilometer (Fahrtstrecke) südwestlich der Kantonshauptstadt Aubeterre-sur-Dronne in einer Höhe von etwa 130 Metern ü. d. M.; Angoulême, die Hauptstadt des Départements, ist etwa 43 Kilometer in nördlicher Richtung entfernt.

Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Im 19. Jahrhundert hatte der Ort meist zwischen 500 und 600 Einwohner. Infolge der Reblauskrise im Weinbau und der zunehmenden Mechanisierung der Landwirtschaft ging die Bevölkerung im 20. Jahrhundert kontinuierlich bis auf die derzeitigen Tiefststände zurück.

Wirtschaft
Der kleine Ort Montignac-le-Coq lebt seit Jahrhunderten von der Landwirtschaft und vom Weinbau – die Böden gehören zu den Bons Bois des Weinbaugebietes Cognac, doch wurden die Rebflächen infolge der Absatzkrise für Wein in den letzten Jahrzehnten deutlich reduziert. Die Einnahmen aus dem Tourismus (Vermietung von Ferienwohnungen) spielen eine nicht unwesentliche Rolle im Wirtschaftsleben der Gemeinde.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Die schmucklose Apsis und der Vierungsturm der einschiffigen Pfarrkirche (Église de l'Exaltation de-la-Sainte-Croix) werden – trotz der exakt behauenen Steine im unteren Teil – noch dem ausgehenden 11. Jahrhundert zugerechnet. Beim Einsturz des Vierungsturms wurde auch die Apsis in Mitleidenschaft gezogen, so dass ihr oberer Teil mit Bruchsteinmauerwerk ergänzt wurde. Die Westfassade und die Fenster des Langhauses wurden im 19. Jahrhundert grundlegend erneuert.
 Am Dorfeingang steht ein gedeckter Brunnen, der in seiner Form einer Feldsteinhütte nachempfunden ist.
 In der Nähe befindet sich ein Hufbock, der zum Fixieren der Tiere bei der Hufpflege oder beim Beschlagen diente.

Considered one of by far the most common electrical wiring queries is regarding how to wire a swap. Although utilizing switches in your own home is sort of easy, wiring one may well not be that uncomplicated for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. There are actually various kinds of switches, but for this instance, let's say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, a very prevalent change (as well as the most basic).
You'll find 3 hues of wires in a very standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and link them to the terminal screws - one particular on major as well as other within the base screw of your switch. The white wire serves to be a source of uninterrupted power and is particularly typically linked to your light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire towards the ground screw of your swap.
These measures would normally be ample to create a standard swap get the job done with out a dilemma. Nevertheless, for those who aren't confident that you just can carry out the task adequately and securely you much better permit the professionals get it done as an alternative. Soon after all, you will find a motive why this activity is amongst the most typical electrical wiring questions asked by a lot of people.
For many cause, how to wire a ceiling fan is usually one among probably the most common electrical wiring issues. To simplify this job, you should use an individual change for a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it really is merely a subject of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan towards the black wire with the swap. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire ought to be connected towards the black wire in the change at the same time.
You'll find motives why these are typically essentially the most commonly asked electrical wiring thoughts. One particular, lots of consider it truly is easy to accomplish, and two, these are typically the popular electrical duties in the home. But then you really shouldn't set your protection in danger with your target to save money. The stakes could even be considerably greater if you try to get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring career with out ample awareness or working experience.

Q: tc prio how the packets are prioritized I want to use tc prio queuing discpline for scheduling packets in a particular order.
I want to send out packets to destination port 5555 with the highest priority and packets to destination port 6666 with medium priority and all the other packets with the lowest priority.
I wanted the ordering to be done based on this and not based on the TOS fields. So I defined 3 bands as follows:

*

*tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: prio bands 3 priomap 1 1
1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

*tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:1 pfifo

*tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 u32
match ip dport 5555 0xffff flowid 1:1

*tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:2 pfifo

*tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip dport 6666 0xffff flowid 1:2

*tc qdisc add dev eth1 parent 1:4 pfifo

*tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1: protocol ip prio 3 u32 match ip dst 0.0.0.0/0 flowid 1:3

where eth1 is the egress interface.
Will this work without setting the TOS fields?
Also to test it, I ran UDP traffic to port 8888 at say 500M rate using iperf on the 100Mbps eth1 interface and then when this traffic was running, I started traffic to port 5555 which has the highest priority at 100M. But it didn't look like all the traffic was going over port 5555 first and the packets for port 8888 were getting dropped.
Can anyone help with clarifying how prio queuing discpline is supposed to work.
Thanks,
vijaya

Obamanomics resulted in 2% or less GDP growth, and was going south in 2016.
…then, ok, sure – Obama's got a point: scaring Americans resulted in Trumponomics.
Not sure he wants that on his resume, however.
Well, anyway – we're enjoying the backlash, so…Thank You, Mr. Ex-President.


Introduction: It's hard to believe a course that opened in 1986 could be considered one of Atlanta's "older" classics, but it with the advent of so many new courses in the last decade, this course is an elder statesman of sorts. This layout is the work of local resident Michael Riley (who also did Reunion).
Getting Started: Located in one of Atlanta's hotspots for great golf (Trophy Club of Atlanta and White Columns are neighbors), Crooked Creek holds its' own in terms of the high-end daily fee facilities available. The course is rarely packed, but usually has steady play. You can make tee times up to one week in advance, weekend times are often taken by Thursday.
When You Arrive: The drive up to the clubhouse is one of the most impressive in Atlanta. As grand and spectacular a setting as I've seen. Every amenity you could want is here, and it's a very high quality amenity at that. My advice: hit a few balls on the range, but really work on the putting green. The pro shop and dining facility are also top of the line.
Hole You Will Love: Hole #18 is a short par 5 and will provide you a chance to end your round in spectacular fashion. Two good shots will give you a very real chance of reaching this green in two, but there is danger all over the place if you rush the swing and mis hit it, even a little.
Hole You Won't: I left Hole #13 a bit perplexed and frustrated. It's a short par 5, but it doesn't really give you the chance to go for the green in two. You can, and many probably reach it all the time, but the layout of the hole seems to discourage it....especially with a hazard left and long of the green, and a green that has some severe slopes all in it.
Overview: In terms of conditions, amenities, and staff, this place is top notch. For layout purposes, you're either going to love it or hate - probably depending on how well you strike the ball. There is ALOT of out of bounds on this course and those struggling to get off the tee (ahem...uh..me) are going to find themselves with a pocketfull of penalty strokes. Still, this course is one of the more impressive facilities in Atlanta and you should definately give it at least one try.

Laid the foundation stone for modernisation of the Mallya Gate at New Mangalore Port Trust. The new gate will ease traffic movement and help in eliminating accidents.@NewMngPort pic.twitter.com/SjiwhYUdjR
— Sarbananda Sonowal (@sarbanandsonwal) September 24, 2021
Three key projects at New Mangalore Port: Key Details
• The additional truck parking area of 17,000 sq metres will be developed at a cost of Rs. 1.9 crores.
• The truck terminal at the port will be provided gatehouse, concrete pavement, restaurant, and dormitory at the project of Rs. 5.00 crores in 2022-23.
• The U.S. Mallya Gate which has been named after the founder of the port will be modified at a cost of Rs. 3.22 crores and the work is likely to be completed by March 2022.
• The Business Development Centre at the port will provide all the facilities under one roof to the EXIM trade fraternity.
Truck Parking Terminal at New Mangalore Port
As per the official release, because of the improved hinterland connectivity, the container and other general cargo traffic have been increasing at the New Mangalore Port.
Around 500 trucks have been moving daily for the evacuation of cargo from the port to distant places. Though the port has provided parking facilities for about 160 trucks, the existing areas have been found to be insufficient.
Modification of U.S. Mallya Gate: Details
The East Gate of the New Mangalore Port Trust is called U.S. Mallya Gate and was named after the founder of the port.
The proposed modifications of the U.S. Mallya Gate complex have dimensions of 46.6 meters. The gated complex has different lanes for the movement of trucks, two-wheelers, boom barriers, etc.
New Mangalore Port in Karnataka
The New Mangalore Port has 15 fully operational berths, handling containers, coals, and other cargos. The New Mangalore Port Trust is an international organization for standardization (ISO) 9001, 14001 and International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) compliant port because of its strict emphasis on safety security.
The port, being environmentally conscious, gives importance to the ecological improvement projects such as developing a green belt and cleaning up the drives at bay.

I buy magazines less and less these days but one that I love subscribing to is The Simple Things. It's such a treat and I always read it cover to cover. It's just the right balance of indulgent and informative with travel, recipes, lifestyle articles, music playlists, horticulture, herbs, creativity, stories and ideas for your home. I recommend it to everyone I know. Their website is lovely too for a lunchtime browse.


Brazil v Croatia was on the massive telly, there were cocktails, beers, burgers, kebabs and about three million bucket hats - this was always how the Mundial Magazine launch party was going to pan out, and the organisers very kindly allowed Küla to take along our Lyrical Exercise prints to flog on their merch stand. The carnival spirit was in evidence pretty much straight away so we decided to have a wander around to see if we could capture some of that atmosphere. Get in touch via Facebook or Twitter if you spot yourself in any of the photos and we'll sort you out with a hi-res digital copy (or we'll delete it for you if you were only meant to be out buying a pint of milk).


The Abstract custom guitar strap is made with supple black chap leather and is topped with hand-cut kidskin overlays. The brightly colored kidskin designs are layered over red kidskin and sewn securely to the strap. We added a blackened nickel adjustment buckle and backed the guitar strap with red suede.


Bring on the Winter TV!
I find this show to be wildly funny. Psych is a detective style comedy-drama and has filled the void I felt for the genre after Monk was cancelled. Last month they had a Psych the Musical special. I love musicals and I love Psych so this was a match made in heaven for me lol. This is supposed to be the last season, but I'm hoping USA signs on for more.
This series made my "What I'm Watching" post last winter, and I'm still hooked, for good reason. I can't get enough of this dysfunctional yet highly resourceful family. I am so invested in the characters and story-lines.
Everyone's favorite zombie series. I found myself losing interest a bit in the beginning of the recent season, but by the mid-season finale I got my zombie legs back. I also love the Twitter chatter that happens while the show is on.
It seems like it's been forever since the first season of The Americans ended. The show follows two KGB agents posing as a suburban couple in 1980s America. I love spy shows and this is the ultimate spy show. Not only are the operatives using different covers all the time, even their "real" life as a married couple in suburbia with children is a cover. The suspense is intense as they navigate all their different roles.
The same story of the Hannibal Lecter films, only played out in a GREAT series. I'm so happy this show got renewed. It was getting bad ratings and it looked like NBC might cancel it for a while. This is a great show, it needs the ratings, give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
Another movie turned TV show, Bates Motel gives the back-story of Norman Bates and his mom pre-Psycho. The season finale left the audience wondering "Did he, or didn't he?" and I'm ready for the answer!
Orphan Black is a Canadian sci-fi series about several identical women who are revealed to be clones. It has a really great plot. ALL of the women are played by Tatiana Maslany who is an AMAZING actress. She plays each woman in a distinctly different way. She completely transforms herself for each character.
If you aren't already on the Scandal train, there is nothing I can say to bring you to it now. You've had to see how it takes over Twitter on Thursday nights. I've never had a show stress me out and leave me flabbergasted at the end of every episode like Scandal does.
Honorable Mention (meaning I'll probably watch them, but I haven't been sitting around waiting for them): Girls (HBO), Archer (FX), The Following (FOX).
Note: The only reason Game of Thrones isn't highlighted is because there isn't a season premiere date yet, but you better believe, I'm waiting for it!
What shows are you looking forward to returning or premiering?
I want to watch The Americans SO BADLY but am having such a hard time finding it anywhere. Damn you, FX! I don't wanna pay for all that on iTunes! But yes, yes, yes, to Scandal & Walking Dead, my loves. As great as the holiday season is, I want my good TV shows back!
You would think during a time when a lot of people are home around the TV during the holidays they would want good TV on!
I'm looking forward to "Downtown" Abbey Lol, Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Bates Motel, and Hannibal. I didn't know Hannibal was in ratings trouble, wow! Orphan Black sounds interesting, and you'd think I'd be all over The Americans since I love Keri Russell as an actress, but I've yet to watch. Thanks for the recommendations!
Oh, and I recently started watching House of Cards thanks to Faith's blog (Life.Love&Marriage). So far, so good!
I didn't list "Downtown" Abbey cause we watch it as the same time as it airs on regular BBC so we've already seen it. It was a GOOOOD season! I'm SO excited for Sherlock to be back! It's been like 2 years lol. I had already watched the first episode so I forgot them, but that was definitely highly anticipated.
My mind is blown yet again, with your already seeing the entire season of Downton. Lol Nice!
I just remembered another show...House of Lies. Looking forward to that one too.


Patented E-Z Lift® Plate features a traditional, round shape, multi-opening, E-Z Lift® design.
Plates incorporate 7 openings, not just two or three. These extra openings dramatically improve handling off the floor and on and off all machines or bars. Ivanko E-Z Lift® plates are the same diameter as conventional round Olympic plates and easily integrate with existing plates in the facility.
All of the openings on Ivanko cast-iron plates have smooth radii and rounded edges for maximum comfort and safety while grabbing the plates. Because they are round, there are no sharp "points" or "edges" to cut floors and damage equipment as with "anti-roll" designs. Ivanko's rounded, contour shape of the plate conforms better to the hand, making it easier to carry. We round all edges to make it more comfortable to hold onto.
Available in baked-on, polyester based, hammertone grey painted finish.
Available in 45 lb., 35 lb., 25 lb. sizes.
Also available in kilos: 15, 20, 25kg.
Companion 10 lb, 5 lb. & kg, 2.5 lb & kg, and 1.25 lb. & kg sizes available without grip holes. See IOM Series.

Hey guys, it's Toby here, and today I'm going to explain what estrogen is and why us men need to avoid it as much as possible.
First off, estrogen is the master FEMALE hormone and the #1 killer of what makes you a man – Testosterone.
Over time, as our civilization has progressed and advanced, the male population has been exposed to an ever-increasing estrogen-producing environment, causing a potentially deadly hormonal imbalance that leads to excess body fat and even disease.
So, if you've been eating any of the following foods, take my advice and stay ahead of the curve by eliminating them from your diet.
For the life of me, I don't understand why any adult male over the age of 40 is still drinking milk. Did you know that the typical milk in your average grocery store can contain over 20 different chemicals and medications, including xenoestrogen – a chemical that literally imitates estrogen in the body?
The meat that you are eating, which includes beef, chicken, pork, or turkey, that isn't held up to an all-natural, organic standard can also be pumped full of excess hormones and steroids that can alter and affect your test levels.
Soy is also another harmful xenoestrogen that can result in impotence in men.
Unfortunately, soy is found in many things that we men use daily – such as coffee creamers, cooking oils, and processed foods, so be pro-active and take a closer look at those labels on the food you've been buying.
Excess sugar in your body promotes the production and imbalance of estrogen in the male body.
We've all been told sugar can be bad for putting on and holding onto body fat, but if you understand now that sugar can increase your estrogen levels and depress testosterone, you can clearly make the connection of how important testosterone is to losing body fat… And how estrogen levels cause you to hold onto more body fat.
The healthy fats from the omega-3's that are in higher concentration in the grass-fed meat also acts as a crucial precursor to producing testosterone.
Increasing the amount of cruciferous vegetables in your diet, which includes broccoli, kale, and cabbage, rids the body of excess estrogen to help increase test levels.
Blueberries contain Resveratrol that has been studied and identified as having anti-aromatase, or anti-estrogen producing, properties.
Now, I've been lucky enough to work with the #1 nutritionist for men over 40 that focuses on boosting testosterone, Clark Bartram, with an easy-to-follow, complete low estrogen, high-T diet plan for us men over 40.
In fact, he posted a free video you can watch right now that breaks down some of the most common things we older men have been doing that has been depressing our testosterone every day for years.
Just click here: http://go2.sixpackshortcuts.com/SH3L9 now to see it.
Now, remember – stay away from conventional meats & dairy along with processed soy and sugar.
And, instead, stick with grass-fed meats, cruciferous green veggies, and whole, organic fruits like blueberries.
As always, make sure that you: Like, Share, & Subscribe to Seniority Health.
This is Toby, and remember – you're never too old, and it's never too late.

Les forêts d'altitude guinéennes forment une écorégion du WWF de forêt de nuage située sur un massif montagneux entre la Côte d'Ivoire et la Guinée et sur des massifs du Libéria et de Sierra Leone. Cette écorégion est constituée de plusieurs zones non contigües, qui occupent des montagnes, des ballons et des hauts plateaux. Certaines zones, comme les monts Lomas et les Tingi en Sierra Leone, le mont Nimba sur la frontière guinéo-ivoirienne sont abruptes, d'autres comme le Fouta-Djalon en Guinée sont plus fortement érodées, cette dernière ayant pour point culminant un plateau à 1000 mètres d'altitude.

Le mont Bintumani dans les Loma est le plus haut sommet à l'ouest du mont Cameroun. Le large éventail d'altitude, la diversité géologique et des activités anthropiques diverses, ont donné lieu à de différentes associations végétales et animales. Cette écorégion regroupe 35 plantes endémiques et quinze petits vertébrés, certains ne vivant que sur leur montagne comme l'orchidée Rhipidoglossum paucifolium ou l'amphibien Nimbaphrynoides occidentalis sur le mont Nimba.

L'exploitation minière et agricole, basée sur le brûlis, les nombreux conflits armés constituent les principales menaces de cette écorégion.

I couldn't help but notice that the visualizations presented by Diane Favro and John Bonnet seemed dated, looked old in a way that made it uncomfortable to trust the visualizations of their research even though they are less than a decade old. The aesthetics of data presentation might be able to adapt to the design principles employed by architects or graphic design artists. I think that focusing on the aesthetics of a 3-D visualization is important since the "timelessness" of an image may affect the reception to the data in future years and encourage open-source collaboration.
John Bonnet mentioned the issues of archiving the data visualizations. In searching for places and people concerned with the archiving the data and the hardware necessary for the access of this information I would the Kopal project which uses "data format migration" and "emulation environments" which translate older forms of data into current forms of data while also ensuring that the hardware in which the original metadata was conceived will work in future hardware systems. There are considerations such as finding a preferred format when the information is collected. Kopal uses a "Universal Object Format" that can store and convert "TIFF," "PDF," "XML" and ISO-images of CD-Roms.
This will, I am almost positive, lead to discussions of image rights or ownership rights that might need to be focused on in collaborative projects. Scholarly journals are peer reviewed- and although I am a little reluctant to say this- I think that perhaps research data visualizations should be peer reviewed as well.
this is the link to the digital story-telling project I mentioned in class.
To move forward with the Digital Humanities it is important to look back at history. In regards to collections and the presentation of them in a digital space it might be useful to think of the discourse on epistemology of the 17th century whilst also keeping in mind the impetus for describing and organizing data. The impetus seems tied to a sense of responsibility that those who have a large amount of knowledge need to share it with others. The mode by which this knowledge is shared however is one of contention throughout history. Even today the codes of law that denote rights of use, public property, intellectual property and open source must be thought of as a part of the creation of visualizations and not a structure that should prevent or precede the development of technologies.
In The Order of Things, Foucault's introduces the Cartesian origin of epistemology as a field of study. Epistemology is the formalization for a guiding principle on which to base other sciences on. Descartes looked to the fulcrum of Archemedes as a metaphor for his own explorations. Descartes proceeded in thinking that if he found a single proposition which was absolutely irrefutable he could thereafter comfortably base all of his thoughts on this new perspective. Are the Public Humanities searching for that same lever on which they can comfortably rotate the world and should our tools be the epistemes used to interpret it?
The axios, or worthyness of an index in a taxonomical system is exactly the thing we must try to measure when presented with a large set of data. What markers are important here, what qualities of objects make them most similar, most disparate? Carl Linnaeus whose system for plant classification Foucault mentions, concedes that the nuances of 'data points' are subservient to the structure of the taxonomical system itself. There must be careful consideration and effort put into the selection of what the system structure should include as its matrixes. This can be a laborious process and as we have seen in previous readings, there is a moment at which the historian or researcher must trust himself.
Once a decision on which genus to use has been made representation of the system comes into light. Anthony Grafton in his essay on the men of the Republic of Letters points us to Athanasius Kircher whose collaboration with artists allowed his work on Egypt and linguistic studies to be shared with the public.
Kircher and Lipsus… both collaborated, to spectacular effect, with artists who gave their books a radically new visual form and, in Kircher's case, realized his vision of ancient Egypt in the piazzas of modern Rome. They still, I now believe, have much to tech us about the forgotten premodern intellectual worlds that they inhabited and explored, and also, perhaps, about how modern intellectuals could and should serve the public good in our own poisoned public sphere.
Grafton's pessimism could be taken as a call to action for the public humanities. Responsibility to the public is key.
In Lev Manovich's "Database as Symbolic Form," the case is made that the web as a medium is a collection and not a narrative because information can always be added on in the form of new code or html pages. But how would this statement necessarily be in opposition to the idea of narrative?
Radical breaks between periods do not generally involve complete changes but rather the restructuration of a certain number of elements already given: features that in an earlier period of system were subordinate became dominant, and features that had been dominant again became secondary.
A shuffling of priorities happens with each and every new technology. The nuanced syllogism of Francis Bacon seems to mark the role of the humanist time and time again. Can we understand narrative linguistically? Saussure could be helpful: there are the syntagmatic parts of utterances that strand together in a linear sequence. These parts of utterances, if they have enough in common become paradigmatic; "those units which have something in common are associated in theory and thus form groups within which various relationships can be found." Lev takes that last quote directly from Saussure. I would like to know why Saussure said they are associated, in the active tense, as opposed to they became associated. There was a decision made by someone that this sentence looks past.
For Lev, it is cinema which marks a radical shift in the presentation of information and he focuses his essay on the way cinema affects linearity and narrative structure.
I would like to argue that the precedent of narrative should not hold us back from exploring new ways to present information and that cinema without a seeming narrative can in itself much like the illuminated narrative of many things happening at once produce meaning.
In her blog post for the Cooper Hewitt labs Mia Ridge gives a report on the current status of the Cooper-Hewitt's collection records. She goes over many of the problems that we have discussed in class in regards to labeling inconsistencies and object retrieval. She mentions that she herself has used programs like google-refine to clean up the data. The Cooper-Hewitt museum has made 60% of its collection available online. A visit to museum webpage reveals the self-consciousness with which they discuss how they have presented information. In many ways the following quote seems to be reflective of the same concerns of Francis Bacon; that syllogisms should be nuanced and that small steps should be taken before large claims are made.
Certainly, the colloquial manner of these suggestions and the almost deliberately ambiguous. "Do not mislead others or misrepresent the Metadata or its resources," is something that would be a fear for all humanists sharing data freely. I would like to ask if it is at all possible to escape the system of thinking that there is only one right path into examining data, that we can escape narrative if only to see what happens if information is presented this way to us again (to return to the pre-cinematic with the understanding of a contemporary mind). Then we might be able to go back to Archemedes and find a new lever, spin the world around again and understand it once more anew.
I find the emphasis Lev Manovich places on the cinematic telling of a possible new revolution in epistemology. Could it not be that this facet of philosophy–the theory of knowledge– has regained its strength with questions of visual representation for the Public Humanities?
Tim Wray in describing his project, "A Place for Art," mentions Janet Murray's concept of the container, a media theory term meaning the aggregation of objects in a category. The physicality of a container is a particularly apt term for data visualization; the html pages that come from other pages, a cabinet with drawers. However, again I sense that the digital humanist has found him/herself in the rut of having to see everything in terms of collections or containers.
Is there a way to escape the seeming arbitrariness of taxonomical categories? Does the user-friendly data modeling interface in some way make it so that the careful user will do justice to Francis Bacon's syllogism? Or will it be the opposite; that the ease of use will make it so that there will be a grave "misuse" of this data. On this last point, to refer back to the essay by Anthony Grafton; who will become the arbiters of how data is presented, who can claim positions as the new members of our contemporary Republic of Letters? And should such a thing exist?
1.There is a fairly semiotic conception of space brought up in Bodenhamer's essay, The Potential of Spatial Humanities. He seems to be saying that conceiving of "near and far" in the humanities has political resonances. These resonances, Bodenhamer says were stabilized by his use of the American geography which created subsets of identity as the population grew and moved westerly and southerly. Presently, it is not as easy to contextualize difference as the humanities have grown in terminology to include even more specific fragments of population. With this in mind, the use of Geographic Information Systems can use a familiar visualization (a map) to show groupings of the data that the humanities have gathered on population differences. Although this approach is nuanced, Bodenhemer asks if it is still uncritical. Here, I would like to insert the comment that was brought up earlier in our seminar, of the affective reading of data. With a GIS, the information is still going to be interpreted subjectively. However this is a rut that I do not think the humanities wants to keep finding itself in, and again I myself find it uncomfortable to have the questions of epistemological value brought up repetitively. There is a point made in the essay about humanists relying on language and finding it difficult to use a visualization for information gathering. However, reading a map is still reading. If the data visualized is just thought of as a text, would it not be easier to jump into an analysis and to allow oneself to be the critic or parser of the data? This would mean however, that the visualization be primarily the text to be deciphered and not the statement itself, almost like an essay without a thesis. Can there be such a thing?
2. In, "Sapping Attention," I think a productive interpretation is put forth; could not the visualization of information be a good way to limit the interpretations that a historian might have– and could this limitation not be a positive instead of a negative? The self-described medium size of the data seems to have allowed for the data to feel comprehensively expressed and the interpretation to feel fair.
3. Another note I would like to put forth: I was struck by the idea that audibly transmitted information was inferior to a visualization. When I think of audial transmission of information, I think of conversation, dialogue and interlocution. These seem to be cooperative and therefore an inclusive way into data. Why is the audial ostracized from visualization?
I appreciated the range of media discussed in Visualizing Temporal Patterns, and although I am not as familiar with film or video games as I am with Art History, I could not help but think that perhaps the use of time as a way into standardizing information could only be effective as a tool for analysis if the data was more constrained. The example given of the 35 canonical paintings is intended to cross genres to find commonalities in development, but I cannot help but feel that the individual pieces have been selected a little arbitrarily and that although the program developed is useful for sorting categories, the data should be more limited. The author of the article states that the visualizations created by separating objective qualities of the works supports the thesis that all artists represented were moving towards modernism, a statement that I think ignores the trajectory of each individual artist's oeuvre. Although modern technology has been employed for this visualization I find that it too closely parallels the now antiquated model of a time-lime exhibit in a museum space. I suppose that my feeling towards this kind of visualization comes from my belief that ordering art in a timeline limits the kind of engagement that a viewer feels comfortable with.
The reading, Cartographies of Time, pointed to the prolific reliance on data that could be graphed in an XY coordinate-plane. Even though the reading also mentioned 3 dimensional visualizations the input for these visualizations would still rely on concrete numerical input. I do not necessarily think that this is valuable for the general user on its own. What is the difference between Baroque, Classical and Renaissance to someone who has only just begun thinking about art? As a counterpoint to moving away from XY, in Cartographies of Time the notion of a line in graphical work as a "metaphor [as] ubiquitous in everyday visual representations" puts forth the question that the line is the most cross culturally pervasive symbol for the passing of time and this suggests that it is so intuitively read that that it is valuable. I just wonder how the XY plane can be made more inclusive.
As a reaction to Professor Riva's post, I tend to side with the notion that the DH can effectively provide a new way to generate data– that the way we construct knowledge can grow to encompass data that without digitization could not be expressed. In a practical application I was struck by the Omeka Exhibit Builder which allows a curator to present digital objects to a group of diverse people who will then contribute their own meta-data to each object. (http://omeka.org/codex/Plugins/ExhibitBuilder) I see this type of experiment as a good opportunity to introduce a cross disciplinary approach to what this meta-data can look like. In my past blog post I believe I started to mention my interest in haptic technology, the easiest example perhaps being an iPad screen, I think it is very effective to react to an object through touch and that we can learn a lot about what an object means to a person via the responses of their other senses. In looking at a painting where do a person's eyes move? Whose eyes move in the same pattern, and are their statistically significant similarities across ages, cultures and genders? I think that the measurement of a "non-linguistic" data can perhaps be thought of a new paradigm for the DH.
This said I do think that a large portion of the time dedicated in the advancement of DH must look back in time to the fuzzy data. "Humanities to Digital Humanities" clearly lines up the facets of what the DH must come to terms with to clean up data: Enhanced critical curation, where the changes that have happened have led to an exponentially fast growing collection mean that many things are left unprocessed and therefore certain things are valued above others. Augmented Editions and Fluid Textuality, where standards for mark-ups must be created within editions but also when approaching the distribution of materials. Visualization and data design, where there must be an effort made to not mislead the viewer/participant. The animated archive, where history should be thought of as a living organism ready to become participatory. Reading and authoring, where the invitation is extended to the civilian curator. I see this last aspect as a way to gather data that can be used by institutions to better understand their public and thereby be better able to gear funding and programs to them. This last point should not be a patronizing one however. The data should also become of value to the institution as a necessary evaluation of their own curatorial scholarship.
In clicking through the links provided in the texts, I came away with a sense of play and the power of play. When something is fun it is easy to create data. For this reason I am pasting a screen shot of this text through an n-gram.


The modern Tiple Doliente has five strings tuned from low to high as E, A, D, G, C.
Notice that this tuning is very similar to the way a guitar is tuned -- with the exception of the thinnest string on the Tiple (corresponding to a B on a guitar) which is tuned a half step higher to a C.
Make sure your 5th string (the thickest) is in tune to E.
Then strike the 5th string while pressing on the fifth fret and let it ring while you also strike the 4th string. These two notes should be the same (A).
You should make minor adjustments if you hear any dischord between the two notes.
Afterwards, do the same for the 4th string on the fifth fret (D) and the 3rd string, the 3rd string on the fifth fret (G) and the second string, and the 2nd string on the fifth fret (C) and the first string.
