Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz & More Join Mad Max: Fury Road
It's always a nice surprise when an actor who had a young feature film debut goes almost unseen for a few years and then comes back as a mature on-screen talent. Such is the case with Nicholas Hoult who saw his on-screen debut opposite Hugh Grant in About a Boy, but in the past couple years has shown a much more adult side starring in the risque British series "Skins" and also giving a BAFTA nominated performance in A Single Man. In addition to starring in the forthcoming Clash of the Titans, Hoult, along with Zoe Kravitz, Teresa Palmer and Adelaide Clemens, are all in negotiations to co-star in Mad Max: Fury Road.
Very little is known about the roles other than Hoult's character is named Nux; Kravitz character is called Five Wives and Palmer and Clemens are in a convoy being chased by bad guys. Mad Max: Fury Road, which is rumored to be a 3-D blend of live-action and animation, marks our return to the post-apocalyptic world last seen 25 years ago. With George Miller returning to direct this sequel in the franchise he started back in the 70's, this will be a real test of the potential of reboots of decades old franchises that haven't been kept alive in other media forms like comics. We'll be keeping our eye out for more developments, so stay tuned.

Hoult can carry a film About a Boy was pretty good movie. I'm not sure about the rest of the cast but we'll see.
Skins is a great show. I am looking more and more forward to Fury Road. Skins: Season One REVIEW http://film-book.com/tv-review-skins-season-one/

Machine learning has seen wild success in solving problems from various domains. We believe machine learning also has strong potential in solving problems in computer networks. Networks are becoming more and more complicated with the growing demand for cloud computing and big data. A production network usually involves a multitude of devices, runs a multitude of protocols, and supports a multitude of applications. Traditional approaches of designing, deploying, and managing protocols face significant challenges in these complex networks. Machine learning represents a different and potentially rewarding approach to solving these challenges: its data-driven nature allows it to intelligently learn the complicated network environment and dynamically adjust protocols, with little manual effort.
Research on machine learning in networks is still at an early stage. There is in general a lack of venue dedicated for discussion, promotion, and dissemination of research on machine learning in computer networks.
NetworkML aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in computer networks, systems, and machine learning to engage in a lively debate on the theory and practice of using machine learning in computer networking research.
A major recent development in computer networking is the emergence of Software Defined Networking (SDN), whose goal is to provide a centralized, programmable control plane that is decoupled from the distributed data planes on individual network devices. In particular, the development of OpenFlow has demonstrated many potential benefits of SDN, and multiple vendors have started to offer commercial switches supporting the OpenFlow standard. Researchers have also made progress on SDN components including SDN controllers, switches, programming interfaces, verification and debugger tools, and SDN applications in data center network, campus network, routing, and traffic engineering.
Despite the progress, many important questions regarding SDN still remain, especially in longer term issues around SDN theoretical foundation, programmability and control logic, formal methods and protocol engineering, abstraction and view, network operating system, etc. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate research and discussion related to those longer timer SDN topics.
Nowadays the Internet plays an important role in people's daily-life. We all witness the great success of different practical networked systems. HotPNS seeks contributions that are relevant to solve practical computer networking and protocol problems. Prospective topics include network sciences, Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, data mining of large scale networks, and security/privacy issues. Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of practical networked systems.
Testbeds provide realistic and repeatable environments to conduct experimentations, validations and education exercises. Such environments are especially crucial in the networking and cybersecurity R&D due to the gap between abstractions and actual deployment. The wide-range of application domains require and give rise to testbeds with different characteristics. This workshop aims to bring together testbed providers and users in the region, and facilitate interactions and sharing of experiences.

Not your typical woman, I suppose. My brain works a lot like a man's - logical, rational, likes to figure things out; But emotionally, I am definitely female. In so many ways, I am a contradiction. For example, I used to be a trial lawyer, now I'm a yoga therapist. Both suit me well. I'm a recovering vegan yogi, non-caffinated, sugar-free, organic this and that kinda girl, who also likes sitting on the couch eating popcorn and watching mainstream movies. What can I say? I like to cycle, hike, dance, read, cook, see live music, watch movies and make things. Love good conversation. I can be mellow but also intense. That's the New Yorker in me, perhaps. Or maybe the Scorpio? Definitely not a surface, small talker. I like getting to the meat of things (although I don't eat it). I'm not really much of a casual dater, and prefer my own company to settling. But in relationships, I am very loving and thoughtful and passionate.

Džuma-namaz () muslimanska je molitva petkom. Isključivo se obavlja u džematu, i to umjesto podne-namaza. Osoba koja klanja džuma-namaz nije obavezna klanjati podne-namaz tog dana.

Vrijeme džuma-namaza
Džuma-namaz počinje u isto vrijeme kad bi počeo podne-namaz. S ovim se slažu svi veći islamski pravci. Bosanskohercegovačka ulema, u skladu sa šerijatom, odlučila je da se džuma-namaz u svim džamijama klanja u unaprijed dogovorenom terminu, i to u 12.00 sati po zimskom ili u 13.00 sati po ljetnom računanju vremena.

Način obavljanja namaza
Džuma-namaz se sastoji od dva dijela: molitve (namaza u općem smislu) i hutbe. Imam prvo održi hutbu, a potom se obavi molitva. Prije hutbe se prouči unutrašnji ezan, a prije molitve ikamet.

Ono što je također karakteristično za džumu jeste to da postoje dva ezana, tzv. vanjski i unutrašnji ezan. Prvobitno je postojao samo unutrašnji ezan, koji se učio u džamiji, no halifa Osman ibn Afan uveo je i vanjski ezan, s munare, jer je zapazio smanjenje broja vjernika, pa je pokušao na taj način privući ljude kojima je bila važnija trgovina nego vjerska obaveza.

Hutba
Hutba prethodi molitvi. Tom prilikom imam se popne na minber i s njega drži govor. Govor se drži stojeći i u njemu je zahvala Alahu, šehadet, salavat na Poslanika, jedan ajet ili čitava sura iz Kurana, te na kraju dova. Sunet je da budu dva dijela, između kojih imam obično malo sjedne. Takođe, u nearapskim zemljama hutba se podijeli na hutbu na arapskom i hutbu na lokalnom jeziku.

Sadržaj hutbe može biti o vjerskim ili o opštim temama koje interesuju zajednicu vjernika, uključujući i politiku.

Molitva
Sama molitva je dvorekatna, kao farz sabah-namaza. Klanja se isključivo u džematu na isti način kao i farz sabah-namaza.

Obaveza džuma-namaza
Vjerska je obaveza klanjati džuma-namaz svim vjernicima muškarcima koji moraju ispuniti sljedeće uslove:
 da su slobodni (da nisu robovi ili zarobljenici),
 da su u svom gradu,
 da su zdravi,
 da su sigurni od napada,
 da nisu slijepi ili slabovidni i
 da su sposobni hodati.
Dakle, ako osoba ne ispunjava neki od ovih uvjeta, ili ako je žena, onda nije obavezna klanjati džuma-namaz, ali tada ostaje obaveza klanjanja podne-namaza, ali ne u džematu. Prema islamskim učenjacima, preporučljivo je za ženu da, ako je ne sprečavaju neke druge obaveze, ipak obavi džuma-namaz.

Značaj džuma-namaza
Za vjernike džuma-namaz ima ogroman značaj. Smatra se da se brišu grijesi počinjeni između dvije džume onome ko na iskren i ispravan način obavi te molitve. Sam značaj petka kao dana u islamskom svijetu je ogroman. U taj dan je, prema njihovom vjerovanju, stvoren Adem, u taj dan je uveden i izveden iz Dženeta, a takođe vjeruju da će Sudnji dan biti u petak.

Slaganje islamskih pravaca
Većina islamskih pravaca koji obuhvataju najveće zajednice sunitskih i šiitskih vjernika slažu se u važnosti džuma-namaza i u njegovom praktikovanju. Međutim, u arapskim zemljama je, za razliku od Bosne i Hercegovine i ostalih južnoslovenskih zemalja, hutba petkom vrijeme kada se iznose razni politički stavovi i opcije, te opšta pitanja koja interesuju čitavu zajednicu muslimana, ali i pitanja koja interesuju samo tu lokalnu zajednicu. Tako je, na primjer Iranska revolucija počela okupljanjem vjernika na džuma-namazu.

Q: How to calculate Run-Time efficiency of this program? I'm a little new to Big-O analysis so I need some help!
How do you calculate big-O run-time efficiency of this program if the algorithm "doIT" has efficiency factor of 5n?:
for(i=1; i<=n; i++)
    doIT(...)

I feel like big-O run-time would be O(n^2) in this case, since the loop itself is O(n). Is this correct?

A: Yes, that's correct. If doIT() is dependent on n itself then calling it within a loop also dependent on n makes the whole thing O(n2).

A: Using Sigma notation, you may do this:

Studio Tupi #3 begins with all the joy that a sunny Sunday can bring, especially a spring one. Barbecue out and picanha filet seasoned, we were ready to welcome Mr. Jason Sanders A.K.A General Eclectic.
Founding member of Uma Nota & Footprints, two great music projects in Toronto, General Eclectic is an (as his DJ name conveys) eclectic collector and a skilled DJ, not to mention his stunning visual design abilities. He was in town and we just had to invite him over to drop some Brazilian records at our studio.
His selection was as impressive as his beat matching. My biggest discovery was his 45 RPM of Carmen Miranda's cheezy Chica-Chica-Boom-Chic song interpreted by Rolando Faria & Luiz Antônio. A killer groovy track! He also offered classics like Baden Powell, Tamba Trio, Gilberto Gil, Ed Lincon, Elza Soares and others straight from his original records. Chatting with me, near the barbecue before he started to play, he even told me: "I'll play some more chill tracks". Hahaha at the end, maybe inspired by my non-stop dancing neighbour, he made us all shake!
We interviewed General Eclectics asking him to tell us a bit more about his relation with Brazilian music, and about his music research and activities.
Barbecue, drinks, great friends and amazing Brazilian music. Is there a better combination?
Tupi Collective: Our first question can't be any other than the classic "How dit you discover and when dis you start loving Brazilian music?".
General Eclectic I first heard Brazilian music back in 1999 on a mix cassette tape by a DJ collective called Movement. They were Toronto's finest vinyl diggers back then. I remember not knowing how to describe what I was hearing, only that I knew it was the craziest music I'd heard up until that point! I was instantly hooked!
Tupi Collective: Is there a song or a Brazilian artist that you like the most? Why?
General Eclectic: I'd have to say Jackson do Pandeiro & Jorge Ben. Both are masters of their craft and have contributed an encyclopedia's worth of music that is so unique and timeless. People will be playing and singing their music in another 100 years!
Tupi Collective: Can you tell us a bit about FootPrints and Uma Nota Culture projects?
General Eclectic: Foot Prints is my longest running event and one of the longest running in Canada, now in our 13th year. My DJ partner Jason Palma and I play a wide range of music, all of it dance floor focused and mixed with an eye for detail and a respect for the subtle art of djing. We try to expose the best of the vintage and the coolest of the new sounds from around the world. Since day one we've been busy and have attracted an amazing crowd of dancers, music heads and open minded friendly people. We're currently working on a retrospective book filled with photos and my flyer designs starting from 2002 all the way up to now.
Uma Nota Culture is a multi-faceted events organization started by myself, Alex Bordokas and Jonathan Rothman back in 2007. We present mainly PanAmerican music and culture with a tropical flair to a broader downtown Toronto audience. We began as a bi-monthly event series, giving equal stage to both live percussion groups and DJs, but have since grown to encompass collaborative projects, live presentations, workshops and a yearly music festival. Along with working on live programming and event concept ideas, I am the creative director and musical face of the brand, DJing at the majority of the events and designing all of the artwork and imagery. My partner Alex Bordokas as Artistic Director has been instrumental in helping the growth of our brand over the years, working with key players in the industry and making connections with like minded companies in South America and the States. As a result of our collective efforts, we have a slew of interesting and cool projects and events lined up for this year and the next, including our annual Block Party, presented in partnership with Luminato, which will take place Saturday, June 27th in downtown Toronto.
Tupi Collective: What are your present and future plans?
General Eclectic: I've been DJing nearly 20 years now and have created or been involved in so many fun and exciting events over those years. Toronto has been really good to me but I feel that I've seen pretty much all the city has to offer. Now my goal is to start touring around Canada, the States and abroad more, spreading my unique sounds and skills to rock unsuspecting crowds!
I also recently starting playing the drums and am in 2 new music projects, my goal is to incorporate these live music projects into my DJ events more closely, developing a unique live sound and taking them on the road as well. Music is in my family, my dad was a drummer and my mom was a very well known singer from Barbados, I feel like DJing has been a useful stepping stone for me into the world of live music and composition.
Lastly, I'm working on a collaborative project involving 7 other notable vintage Soul, Funk & Reggae DJs and promoters here in Toronto. We're forming a collective to bring like minded events, people and cultures together. It's in the beginning stages but it is a long time overdue idea and will hopefully put Toronto on the map for underground Soul music (as it happens in places like London, LA and NYC)
Tupi Collective: Thank you so much to accept our invitation and for the great afternoon! Can you share where we find more about your many projects and works as Dj and visual designer?
General Eclectic:My pleasure! Thanks for having me! You, Marcus and Antoine are a totally cool crew and wicked hosts!
You can take a look at my designs by browsing my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jasonsandersgeneraleclectic . For now I am strictly word of mouth and by recommendation. You can listen to a selection of my DJ mixes at https://www.mixcloud.com/djgeneraleclectic/. You can discover the many facets of Uma Nota Culture at http://www.umanota.ca, we have so many fun and exciting events and collaborative presentations coming up this year! Check the Footprints facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/footprintstoronto/ for info on us and our upcoming events!

Q: how to find column, row and data area values from cell object in Devex Pivot grid I am using Dev ex pivot grid to show some data on the screen. When user click on any cell in data area, I want to find out it's corresponding row, column and data area value and their field name.
I am handling CellClick event of devex pivot grid.
with PivotCellEventArgs object I can find fieldname but not value.
I want the name and value for given cell from all perspectives (row, column and data area).
Thanks in advance.

A: In Razor MVC you can do that
@Html.DevExpress().PivotGrid(settings =>
{
    settings.Name = "PivotGrid";
    settings.CallbackRouteValues = new { Controller = "Home", Action = "PivotGridPartial" };

    settings.ClientSideEvents.CellClick = @"
    function(s,e){
        var EventArgs=e;
        console.log(EventArgs.RowValue);
        console.log(EventArgs.RowFieldName);
        console.log(EventArgs.ColumnValue);
        console.log(EventArgs.ColumnFieldName);
        console.log(EventArgs.Value);
    }";

    settings.Fields.Add(field =>
    {
        field.Area = PivotArea.RowArea;
        ...
    });

    settings.Fields.Add(field =>
    {
        field.Area = PivotArea.ColumnArea;
        ...
    });

    settings.Fields.Add(field =>
    {
        field.Area = PivotArea.DataArea;
        ...
    });

}).Bind(Model).GetHtml()

Released twice in 2013, Bard has surgery, signs minor league deal with Texas Rangers
Paul Galop, Daniel Bard and Jim Higgins as Bard was honored after the 2005 CCBL All-Star Game in Hyannis as West Division MVP / photo by Sportspix 2005.
Former Boston Red Sox bullpen stalwart Daniel Bard (Wareham, 2005) has signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound right-hander had been released by both the Red Sox and Chicago Cubs in 2013 and is hoping to jump-start his ailing career in the Texas sun.
From 2009 to 2011, Bard was a solid setup man in the Boston bullpen, posting a 2.88 ERA while striking out 213 and walking 76 in 197 innings. Many considered him the heir apparent to Red Sox closer Jonathan Pappelbon, who was nearing free agency. But when Pappelbon signed with the Philadelphia Phillies prior to the 2012 season, the Red Sox moved Bard into the starting rotation, an experiment that failed dismally.
Bard's confidence was shot and his command had vanished. Not only could be not hit his spots, he could rarely hit the strike zone and he was issuing walks at a rate of 6.5 per nine innings. He finished the season with a 5-6 record, a 6.27 ERA and more walks (45) than strikeouts (39) in 60 1/3 innings.
Demoted to the minors in 2013, he pitched 16 1/3 innings across four levels of the Boston organization, walking 29 batters and striking out nine. He appeared in only two games for the Red Sox, yielding a hit, a run and two walks in one inning of work. Over the last two seasons, Bard's control has been horrible. He has walked 101, hit 18 batters and thrown 21 wild pitches in 107 ½ big-league and minor-league innings.
The Red Sox finally gave up on him in September, and he was claimed off waivers by the Cubs, whose president, former Boston GM Theo Epstein, knows how effective the big right-hander once was.
Bard finished the season in the Cubs' bullpen, although he never appeared in a game. It was suggested that he try to work out his problems in winter ball, but after three terrible outings in the Puerto Rican winter league in which he retired only one of 13 batters while walking nine and hitting three, the Cubs decided to non-tender him and he became a free agent.
The 28-year-old right-hander underwent Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery on Jan. 2 to correct a nerve issue, and MLB Network's Peter Gammons has surmised on his blog that it was TOS that may have been the cause of Bard's struggles. The surgery, which involved removing part of a rib above Bard's collar bone, was performed in Dallas by Dr. Gregory Pearl. Gammons writes that Bard will begin throwing in a couple of weeks and will attend spring training with the Rangers.
Commenting on the signing, Texas general manager Jon Daniels called Bard "one of the elite relievers in the game for probably a three-year run … This is taking a chance on a guy with a pedigree at being one of the best at what he does."
Bard was Boston's first-round pick (28th overall) in the 2006 draft out of the University of North Carolina after an impressive 2005 season at Wareham. Bard posted a 3-3 record in 10 games, all starts, while leading the league in both innings pitched (65) and strikeouts (85). He issued only 20 walks and his 1.25 ERA ranked third among all CCBL pitchers. He was a second-team Summer All-America selection and he and UNC southpaw teammate Andrew Miller (Chatham) were rated the top two pro prospects in the league by Baseball America.
Bard and Miller, who would be reunited as teammates on the Red Sox from 2010-2013, were the starting pitchers for the West and East squads, respectively, in the 2005 Cape League All-Star Game at McKeon Field in Hyannis. The East won the game 1-0 and Bard was voted West Division Most Valuable Player by the MLB scouts in attendance.

Game art is one of the most diverse art forms, with styles ranging from 8-bit to photo realism. While we're all a little jaded to the way fantasy worlds and magical creatures come to life through the hard work of artists from around the world, it's still incredible how often they can surprise us.
The tools, techniques, and sheer intellect they use to brainstorm new concept art and those technical in-game art assets is pretty mind-boggling, especially when you sit down and play.
But honestly, video game culture is much greater than the games themselves because it branches into tabletop, anime, comics, films, and probably a hundred more things you could name. Fact is, the art that fills our lives exists thanks to all the individuals contributing their heart-filled work.
Every time you admire how great something looks, just think how much time the artist spent working on it—trust me, it'll make you smile.
You can find a full list of our participating artists on the Artist Alley page or check out the shorthand list below.


In January, 1969, we occupied a small office space offered by the First Congregational Church, Reading, made possible by the Ministers, Paul Barnes, and Ashley Doane. Donations of a rug, and a file cabinet, completed the furniture, including a table, desk chair, a typewriter, and easy chair. Book ends on the table provided a place for the books which eventually became the Community Change library. One of the first books was Bob Terry's For Whites Only. Writing from his experience with "urban unrest" in Detroit, Terry became a kind of guru, leading much of the early thought about the "white problem". Also between the book ends was Knowles & Prewitt's Institutional Racism in America; its "inventory of Racism" became the early model for what we developed later as a way to "audit" for racism in institutions. A third book, which was then, and remains today, a prophetic insight was James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time.
Baldwin's admonition to his nephew about white people is that they, I will say "we" are "trapped in a history we do not understand". A few words which have had an immense impact on my life. Each of these books became prominent, urged for reading for everyone who came into our cozy office space. Mary Doane, wife of Ashley, volunteered time to set up files, and served ably all the years we were in Reading.
It was clear to us that the "Community" could apply to almost any group of people in any setting where there was some evident common purpose. Given our assumption of a "white problem", our focus was to be directed toward those communities around Boston, populated predominantly by white people. The focus was to be where white people lived. We knew that the "white problem" must be centered there in the white suburbs. The method was "training" and organizing.
Some of the earliest groups to seek assistance included nascent groups in towns north of Boston. SCORE, was the Saugus Committee for Racial Equality. Encounter for Ecumenical Action, with offices in Lynn; Concern, was a human rights group, located in Wenham-Hamilton.; an Urban-Suburban seminar was sponsored by the Greenwood Union Church, Wakefield, including people from Everett and Woburn. The Board of Christian Social Concerns, of the Methodist New England Southern Conference, provided participants from a wider geographical area.
Those were lonely days; not many people were talking about a "white problem"; few white people and white men in particular were ready to hear that word. There were days when I quietly said a prayer: "Lord, I need a sign …I know I'm not supposed to ask for "signs", but oh, I need something to happen that will be a sign that I should continue …" I remember especially that within minutes after one of those prayers, the phone rang, a new group asking for help with the "white problem". A sign ???? answer to prayer ???; I'm not sure what to think, but it kept me going through many times of doubt. With my "epiphany" at heart, there was no option of giving up.

Novell Linux Desktop reviewed: A New Linux Desktop for Enterprise Customers
Posted by dave on Nov 15, 2004 5:10 AM EDT
LXer; By Tom Adelstein Mail this story
Tom has reviewed the Novell Linux Desktop, a new desktop for enterprise customers.
Figure 1. Novell's Linux Desktop GDM Screen.
While installing the Novell desktop, I felt a rush of excitement. The screen displays reminded me of many SuSE Linux installations, but the Novell logo took me back to a fonder time when I started work on becoming a Certified Novell Engineer. Opening my first Novell training manuals back in 1993 provided a lot of excitement too.
After getting over the first waves of enthusiasm, I remembered that this exercise provided an opportunity to evaluate the Novell Linux Desktop (NLD). I began taking notes and discovered a familiarity with the process. Soon, I faced choices on how I would install NLD. Novell gave me a choice of KDE or Gnome. If I didn't know which one to choose, the screen said to ask my administrator. Now, I realized this was an enterprise desktop not one for end users.
First Try, Installing What I Wanted
Knowing most of the SuSE tricks for installing only the Linux packages I wanted, I went into the software menu and picked my favorite applications. I then proceeded to configure the system and complete the three CD install. After the final reboot, I found myself in a mess. I looked at an old X11 login screen similar to ones we used in 1998. I logged in with my user name and discovered a jumbled collage of menus, applications and junk.
No matter how I tried to fix the NLD desktop, it refused to give me what I wanted. If you attempt to install NLD like SuSE, you'll discover that it's based on SuSE but it's engineered differently. You don't get to mix and match desktops and applications. You either chose Gnome or KDE.
After examining and tinkering with configuration files, run levels, initiation scripts, services, the proc files, the X11 setup and the file tree, logic dictated that going back and reinstalling the system made sense. That course proved the most fruitful. Two installations later, I saw the KDE and the Gnome default systems.
Figure 2. The NLD KDE Desktop.
Figure 3. The NLD Gnome Desktop.
Figures 2 and 3 provide a look at the default themes of the KDE and Gnome desktops. Interestingly, once you install the Gnome desktop, you can change it before logging in and choose the KDE desktop. One has to attribute this to SuSE's history of using KDE as its default.
Figure 4, the Root Password Prompt
Looking at Figure 4, you can see that even in the Gnome desktop mode, the KDE root password prompt pops up when attempting to do administrative tasks. When realizing that one can change default desktops after installation,the earlier restrictions seem odd. Why do you have to go through the exercise of choosing a default desktop if you can change it once installed?
Note: One concern about writing this review involves the nature of big corporate distributors. Instead of viewing this observation as a possible Quality Assurance problem, the distributor may just attribute it to a press bias. More on that later in the review.
Positive Differentiators in NLD
Once you begin exploring the Novell Linux Desktop, you will notice a well organized business desktop. Advertised as a desktop for the enterprise it has many features corporate users will want. For example in Figure 5, you will notice the Citrix ICA Client for Linux. For users of distributed applications, Citrix has a large install base, especially for Windows applications.
Figure 5, Citrix ICA Client for Linux
Novell uses the 2.6 version of Gnome desktop. The desktop in its default mode looks and behaves similar to the Ximian desktop developed prior to their acquisition by Novell. In our screen shots, you will notice that we placed the gnome 2.6 panel on the bottom of the screen similar to other desktop versions. In Figure 6, you can see the launch menu that pops up when one clicks on the large "N" to the left of the panel.
Figure 6. Launch Menu
Additionally, a launch menu exists to the right of the applications menu, which you can see in Figure 7. Novell calls this the "System Menu". Putting it on another launcher doesn't seem intuitive, but for users with little experience perhaps it's functional. The system menu allows the system to logout with the sequence System ->Logout or lock their monitor, keyboard and pointing device with System ->Lock Screen, etc.
Figure 7. System Menu
In addition to providing the Citrix ICA Client, NLD provides additional interoperability within Windows Networks by offering a Terminal Server Client (TSC) and with Evolution version 2.0, which can connect to Microsoft exchange as well as Novell GroupWise. Figure 8 shows a shot of the TSC, which uses Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to Windows Terminal Servers - Microsoft's thin client/interoperable terminal server solution.
Figure 8. Terminal Server Client
The Novell Desktop Client uses three methods for installing software. During installation, you can download any updates before your installation completes. NLD uses Novell ZENworks for that purpose. This provides a convenience as other distributions require the user to finish the initial install and then perform an update.
After installation, NLD uses Ximian's Red Carpet for update services or adding additional software. One of the stranger nuances of using Red Carpet appears when the user changes channels and decides to add the "server" components of SuSE Linux Enterprise System 9, which were originally stripped out of the NLD for security reasons.
Figure 9. Red Carpet Update and Installation Utility
In figure 9, you can see that Red Carpet offers update services, a look at installed software and then available software. Under the available software, you can find server software such as Apache, which you can select, download and install. By clicking on the package one chooses, Red Carpet places it in the left panel under Pending Actions and once you click Run Now, Red Carpet looks for dependencies, alerts you as to what it will install and when you click OK -- goes ahead and installs the software.
In addition to Red Carpet, NLD includes SuSE's Yast2 administration tool, which also lets you install software from the installation disks, a hard drive or a server. In Figure 10 you can see a screen shot of the Yast2 tool. We highlighted the Software section so you can see the various options in the right window.
Figure 10. Yast2 Administration Utility
We consider Red Carpet the best package management tool in the Novell arsenal. However, we question the need for three installation packages on one distribution. You might find this a problem if you're administering the desktop. Obviously, Novell will have this issue nailed down when it goes into the work place. Administrators will tighten down the desktop and make only certain applications available. Perhaps that's why Novell calls NLD an enterprise desktop. Few would want someone on the inside of a network to have access to options available to either Yast2 or Red Carpet.
In Figure 11, notice how Red Carpet handles dependencies when one clicks on a RPM software package someone wants to install from their desktop.
Figure 11. Red Carpet Installing Linux Packages
In this instance, we downloaded an RPM built for another SuSE based distribution. The package provides the user with Midnight Commander, a text based file management tool with an interface similar to Norton Commander. We simply double clicked the package in the Nautilus file browser and the Red Carpet facility opened in a window. After that, it installed the package. With so many repositories of Linux packages available on the Internet, Novell will have to provide administrative tools to prevent a user from gaining access to these installation tools.
Additional Features of NLD
The Novel Linux Desktop comes with the latest version of Evolution, OpenOffice.org 1.13, Mozilla Firefox browser and gaim's multi-protocol instant messaging client. NLD also comes with a plethora of additional applications. Typical of SuSE Linux, more applications exist than with other distributions of Linux.
Figure 12. Evolution Version 2.0
The Evolution client has gone through a significant evolution since becoming part of Novell. As you can see in Figure 12, the interface looks less like a clone of Microsoft Outlook and more like the GroupWise client. One might consider this a step backwards for Linux users' favorite mail and calendaring application. A reason exists for Microsoft having several 100 million Outlook clients on their desktops while GroupWise ranks in single digit market share.
We had trouble technically with the 2.0 version of Evolution. While every upgrade from Evolution version 1.0 went smoothly and without a hitch, that did not occur with NLD. Evolution 2 did not recognize the older directory and only captured the contact list. A few thousand mail messages did not make it into version 2.0. We did get an error message, though.
Fortunately, we did download approximately 500 messages that were not stored locally.If your email resides on an IMAP server, you should be spared the loss of your messages. Hopefully Novell will fix the upgrade problem.
Openoffice.org 1.13 has a familiar look and feel if you have used the Ximian desktop in the past. Ximian provided numerous enhancements to the Open Source official productivity suite as part of its desktop. Those enhancements made their way into the latest version.
Figure 13. OpenOffice.org Writer
You can get an idea of the look and feel of NLD's OpenOffice.org from Figure 13. The productivity suite has many unique features and exceptional compatibility with Microsoft Office. NDL's version saves its documents by default in Microsoft's formats. We also understand that Novell completed its conversion from Microsoft Office to Openoffice.org earlier this year. So, one might conclude that NLD's bundled package resembles one used internally at Novell.
This reviewer wonders however about the decision to include Openoffice.org in a product for enterprise customers when it could have easily negotiated an attractive price for StarOffice from Sun Microsystems. Sun's office suite has the code base of Openoffice.org, but the presentation closely resembles Microsoft Office products. Regardless, enterprise customers should accept NDL's office suite.
NLD also includes Mozilla products including the very popular Firefox browser. In our tests of the browser we found that it worked with Realplayer 10 and Shockwave. From Red Carpet, we downloaded the IBM distribution of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Firefox ran quickly and provided excellent renderings. Figure 14 provides a look at the Firefox browser with a theme installed from Mozdev.org.
Figure 14. Firefox Browser with Optional Theme
Some Annoyances
In September 2002, several major Linux distributors began enterprise desktop initiatives including IBM and Sun. Xandros released its version 1.0 desktop as did Lindows, now Linspire, and Lycoris. All of these distributions recognized the need for users to run Windows applications under native Linux code. Many options exist including VMWare, NeTraverse and Codeweavers. Xandros even includes Codeweavers Crossover Office based on the open source WINE project.
One would suppose that NLD would accommodate Crossover Office. SuSE provides facilities for the Codeweaver's product on its KDE desktop. Sun provides the same functionality on its Gnome desktop. NLD did provide facilities for Codeweavers on the Gnome side of its desktop.
Figure 15. Codeweavers Crossover Office under NLD Gnome
The Codeweavers 3.0 RPM installed without any problems. However, neither the application or any win32 apps ran off the menu. We installed several applications including efax Messenger and WinSCP. The later's icon did appear on the desktop, however, none of the win32 applications were accessible from either launch menu. In Figure 15, you can see that we manage to run the office utility from the command line.
In our discussions with enterprises adopting Linux desktops, Crossover Office remains a constant requirement. Novell might want to patch its desktop to accommodate WINE for customers regardless of how purists in the community might view that decision. Linux remains a challenger facing a formidable incumbent in the desktop space.
Additionally, we attempted to use the network browsing utility on NLD. We found several problems using this utility. Aside from the lack of an option to use a single window for browsing the network, the utility should provide the ability to launch an application when a file is located on a smb type share.
Figure 16. Network Browser
Network browsing capabilities in Linux have existed for several years. An enterprise desktop can fit easily into a Microsoft network and/or an UNIX/Linux network with this capability. Novell would do well to test the Xandros Desktop and/or Red Flag Linux to see this capability. The now deprecated Corel Linux provided Network browsing in version 1.0 release in 2000.
The Nautilus file browsing utility in NLD requires enhancements. Novell used the standard Nautilus utility in Gnome 2.6, which does not appropriately support enterprise clients. We found this an annoyance.
A final example includes the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service available through Yast2. Looking at Figure 17, you can see the interesting interface required to configure a NTP client.
Figure 17. Network Time Protocol Client
The instructions on how to configure the NTP client exist on the left sideof the screen. Novell provides the URL to a web site dedicated to explaining and providing links to NTP services. So, to configure the service, one has to open a Web browser, go to the URL and look for a time server. To experienced Linux users this presents no problem. For enterprise users new to Linux, this requires a call for help desk support. Novell can populate the client with known public servers that work.
A tip of the hat to Novell for its commitment to open standards, Linux and its new business model. Many people should find your desktop a worthy entry into the market. You'll have some growing pains, but your product has excellent potential.
The challenge facing Novell exceeds providing a worthy entry to the Linux desktop market. An opportunity exists to provide an extraordinary desktop product by only going a few inches farther in your quest.
The rap on Linux distributors in the past still holds true: Linux distributors are underachievers. This does not mean much to the open source technical community because we have always had an attitude of doing it ourselves. In fact, the mere existence of Linux provides millions of us with a fascinating technology with which to learn and grow. Many Linux technologists do what they can to communicate with userland. Left on their own, they would continue whether Linux excelled on the desktop or not.
If Novell wants to make a contribution to Linux, then create a desktop that the broad market can embrace.

Local Government Spotlight: Virginia Beach, Virginia
A Collaborative Approach to the Development of an Energy-Saving Strategy
In response to rising utility expenditures, Virginia Beach, Virginia, set a goal to reduce electricity use in city buildings by 10% from a 2007–2008 Fiscal Year baseline by 2013. To meet this goal, the city established a Joint Energy Committee (JEC) in 2008 to identify, assess, and implement energy-related activities. The JEC was chaired by the deputy city manager and comprised representatives from city departments, public schools, and its major electric utility, Dominion Virginia Power.
Goal: Reduce electricity use in city buildings by 10% from a 2007–2008 Fiscal Year baseline by 2013.
Barrier: Lack of process, team, or unified organizational plan to manage data.
Solution: Established the JEC in 2008 to identify, assess, and implement energy-related activities.
Outcome: In 5 years, the city reduced its cumulative electricity consumption in city buildings by 15% and saved an estimated $1 million in utility costs.
Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia with just over 450,000 residents.[1] Soaring utility expenditures, which reached a peak of approximately $22.8 million in 2012, representing an 18% increase and $4 million in additional utility costs since Fiscal Year 2010, prompted the city to get a better handle on its utility expenditures.[2]

Virginia Beach established the JEC in 2008 to identify, assess, and implement energy-related activities. The JEC was chaired by the deputy city manager and comprised of representatives from city departments, public schools, and its major electric utility, Dominion Virginia Power.
In 2008, the JEC set a goal to reduce electricity use in city buildings by 10% from a 2007-2008 Fiscal Year baseline by 2013. To help the city achieve these savings, the JEC decided to increase the efficiency of the city's bill processing and payment system by automating bill processing.
To execute the plan, the JEC established a project team consisting of members of the energy office and the finance, public works, and information technology (IT) departments. The energy manager was responsible for overseeing the transition to electronic invoicing via electronic data interchange from project initiation through implementation. Because the solution involved development of new IT interfaces with outside vendors, the project required close collaboration between key city staff and outside vendors to integrate the new system and meet the city's project specifications.
Stakeholder Roles and Responsibilities
The energy manager led the project from initiation through implementation.
The procurement buyer negotiated energy software procurements.
IT staff managed the project and analysis, developed the interface specifications and the interface to the financial application, and deployed the software on the city's network.
The vendors implemented and customized the software to meet the city's specifications.
The finance lead and staff in accounts payable tested user acceptance during the final phases of the project.
The Finance Department was a critical partner in this initiative. The team included a financial analyst that successfully implemented the integration of the new software. This analyst also led the testing team that identified and fixed many "bugs" before the system went live.
Key Success Factors
City-wide policy to improve operations through electronic payment processing
Participation of key utility partner in the JEC
Involvement of leadership and key partners from the early stages of strategy development (e.g., finance, IT, and public works' building maintenance)
Close collaboration with participating departments to understand programmatic needs and test new software solution
In 5 years, Virginia Beach reduced its cumulative electricity consumption in city buildings by 15% and saved an estimated $1 million in utility costs.

When I was in my mid-30s, model kits were mostly memories for me. I'd slapped together a bunch of Aurora monster kits when I was little, then played with them until they fell apart. After that I spent a few years building sci-fi spaceships and hung them from my ceiling with kite string. Got interested in cars, not models but the real thing. Mom and Dad bought me my first auto — a '66 Mustang GT in need of a lot of work — when I was 15 and so I started working on the car. I built only two model kits during the next two decades.
Jump to October 2001. All grown up, married, father of one little girl, employed. We stopped in the local Toys "R" Us store just to walk around a bit with our baby and passed a clearance table. My eyes were drawn to a handful of familiar-looking model kits. I saw an Aurora Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, King Kong, Rodan and a few others, all of which had been "repopped" by Polar Lights. They were priced around $2 each. I picked them up, showed them to my wife, smiled a lot, then put them back down and prepared to walk away. Lisa encouraged me to go ahead and buy one. It was only a couple of bucks and I plainly liked them a lot, so go ahead.
I was persuaded, and selected the Mummy. That night, I dug out glues and paints and I started building model kits again. First I finished a Monogram Dracula that I'd purchased years before at Wal-Mart and barely done anything with. Then I did the Mummy. Then Lisa came home from Toys "R" Us with four additional Polar Lights kits. I loved them all and wanted more, but not many were available at local stores.
I discovered eBay, then garage kits, and before I knew it had dozens of kits and not enough time to build them.
"Resin the Barbarian" was born in February 2006. At the time, I was features editor for The Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction, Colo., and many of my responsibilities were geared toward growing the paper's website. To be honest, other than getting breaking news online as quickly as possible, we didn't really know what we needed to do to draw a bigger online audience.
We were told we should have more blogs and I was game. I created "Todd P.'s Blog" and started out writing about myself. It was BOOOOORRRIIIIING and I was quickly running out of things to say. So I thought I'd do a weekly entry about my hobby. Even more, I'd make it an actual article, a Q&A with someone involved in creating and/or selling a model kit. I liked a Young Frankenstein bust offered by Forbidden Zone, so I got in touch with Mike Allen and asked if he'd let me send him some questions. He said yes.
I wanted a name for these weekly entries that would have an appeal similar to "The Garage Kit that Ate My Wallet," the title of a wonderful hobby book by Amazing Figure Modeler Publisher Terry Webb. What I came up with, "Resin the Barbarian", is nowhere near as good, but I stuck with it.
After the interview with Mike, I did articles about Mad Dog Resin and GEOmetric Design. Then I had a Q&A with sculptor Jeff Yagher and it became obvious that my blog's "Resin the Barbarian" entries were drawing many times the traffic of my other posts.
So, fine. "Todd P.'s Blog" became "Resin the Barbarian" and all I wrote about was the hobby. The blog drew good traffic to my employer's website and I got to indulge the shameless fanboy parts of my personality. Every week I did a new article about someone involved in the hobby. Some weeks I did two or three entries.
But I pretty well burned out on it by the end of 2006. Not because I stopped enjoying the subject matter, but because I had other responsibilities that required my time. So I quit blogging for the Sentinel, accepted a generous offer from the Clubhouse to give my blog a new home, then did a couple more entries over the next year or so.
Now, time has passed and my situation has changed. I started missing the barbarian and decided it was time to revive him, on a site I'm building myself and on a once-a-month schedule I should be able to maintain.
If you're already a builder of model kits, I hope you'll find something here that interests you. If you're not a kit builder, or if you haven't been one for a long time, I encourage you to give it a try.
P.S. A note about the archives: Garage kits often have very limited production runs of only a few pieces. These are products created by fans, for fans, and done on an extremely limited budget. Some of the producers I wrote about are no longer making kits. Many, possibly most, of the kits are no longer available.
Another note from early 2012: In case it's not obvious, my "one a month" goal worked out great for a while, but then I ran out of time for even that much. These days I have my hands full producing my own kits for Dedham Pond Designs, and doing my day job molding and casting fossils for a paleontology lab. I'll do a big update and organization of ResinBarbarian.com when I get a chance and hope to return to profiles someday down the line.

Q: If an average of 10 students are late to class on any given day If an average of 10 students are late to class on any given day (assume all students are equally likely to be late to class), what is the probability that in a class of 30 students exactly 10 students are late
?
Given solution is 15.3% for 10 students.  2.46% for half the class . Any ideals/ guide that we can approach this   question? Thank you.

A: You can turn this into a Bernoulli trial problem. The probability that a single student is absent is $\dfrac{10}{30} = \dfrac{1}{3}$. The probability that exactly ten are absent would be:
$$\dbinom{30}{10}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{10}\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^{20} \approx 15.3\%$$
Exactly 15 students:
$$\dbinom{30}{15}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{15}\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^{15} \approx 2.47\%$$
Exactly $k$ students are absent:
$$\dbinom{30}{k}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^k\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^{30-k}$$

Finally the long waited moment come and the Apple released the 3.0 version of iPhone's Operating System.
Will I have a new iPhone? - you ask. E say - No, but abetter one.
The new OS brings copy and paste functionality, more use of the landscape keyboard and improved searching. Apple also fixed several bugs to bringa better user experience. The landscape keyboard got more focus now and will be used in Mail, messages and notes.
With the spotlight search you can search the iPhone the same way like you search your mac.
And don't forget the MMS. It's available through the SMS app wich is called Messages actually.


After registering with RS Components and Element 14/Farnell on the launch day of the Raspberry Pi way back in February I can finally report that the second of the Raspberry Pi's have been delivered today. This was just in time as one of the those which I ordered I was giving to a friend of mine – Andreas Ronge (@ronge). Here is a wee photo of our excitement of the first boot up of our Raspberry Pi.
I have been waiting for this moment for months and was worried that I wouldn't receive the second Raspberry Pi in time. The best bit! Andreas didn't even know he was getting one! It was a compete surprise! Wasn't it!
Anyway we are both now enjoying our first foray into the world of Raspberry Pi. Although, thanks to the blogs, wiki's and YouTube articles the downloaded Debian squeeze images onto the Level 4 San Disk SD cards worked first time without hitch.
I'll give a full run down of the setups used at a future juncture.
For now! I'm just happy when a plan comes together.
Where do I expect my use of the Raspberry Pi to go?
Well there has been much play of the use of the Raspberry Pi to re-establish programming amongst youngsters in school and the need to bring back computing in school. This issue is different for those of us who live in Scotland as our education system never let go of Computing.
In our junior school we teach programming using scratch and have done for a few years now. This is the most recent addition to programming within the curriculum.
The raspberry pi can further help pupils play with scratch as can be seen on some of the youtube videos demonstrating Raspberry Pi. More traditionally most Scottish Secondary Schools teach Computing Studies at Standard Grade which includes an introduction to programming which includes sequence, selection and iteration. We use Visual Basic to deliver this element of the course. However we have previously used pascal, comal and basic in years gone by.
At Higher, we further teach parameter passing, modular programming and simple searching whilst at Advanced Higher we study Searching Techniques, Sorting Techniques, File Handling, Record Structures, Classes, Polymorphism and Encapsulation and pupils create a project which encompasses some of these features.
Many schools, like ours, elect to study the Artificial Intelligence and use prolog to allow pupils to develop their knowledge.
Are we overly complacent about this? No!
I've spent many hours learning python using these tutorials and others from MIT via iTunes U. Personally, this has been a very interesting learning experience but even knowing a lot about computing my main observation is that for a large number of learners there is a large learning curve.
One of the other nice things is that the open source cross platform nature of python allows pupils to continue to develop their skills outside of school. This is a hurdle with respect to Visual Basic which we currently use. If pupils can program at home as well as school then we can further develop the curriculum beyond that which we currently offer.
In that direction I'd like to start a Pi club which pupils could come to at school.
Our curriculum is moving on… We have a new national curriculum, a Curriculum for Excellence, which is gong to take us a further step forward. Programming will increase in this new curriculum and the development of computational thinking will develop further. One of the further considerations which I have in this respect is given our finite allocation of time and what language should we teach. Yesterday, I attended the Learning Through Technology conference at Our Dynamic Earth by Holyrood. At this conference, I had a brief chat with a senior professor who shall remain nameless. Whilst computational thinking should be our focus rather than any specific language the reality is that the 14 Scottish Universities seem to rely on Java as their language of choice when is comes to teaching programming. This begs the question should schools be teaching this? This could potentially create a more coherent joined up approach to computing and allow the Universities to elevate their expectations and starting level to beyond the current benchmark but Java is not the easiest language to get started with conceptually for pupils. Is it within the reach of pupils to understand Java as a post scratch experience? And does this meet the needs of our curriculum!
I have no answers at the moment but lots of questions. Will Raspberry Pi save us? I doubt it but that does mean that it's not going to be fun to play with.
There has been much talk and chatter about the long awaited Raspberry Pi and I can't wait to get my hands on at least one of them! However, researching and dreaming of Pi can be almost as good as having some in my opinion. I have been dreaming and researching about many aspects of the Raspberry Pi and reading the blog and forum articles daily like many of a geek has been doing.
To give you a flavour of some of my thoughts, I thought I'd do a post on "Preparing for Pi" in case you are at a loss of things to consider and research.
A SD Card, I've checked out the wiki and have decided to settle on some class 4 cards as these seem to have the greatest chance of success judging by the limited information their. Again, I've decided on SanDisk cards and have bought them from Amazon in 16gb and 32 gb capacities. I 'll let you know how I get on with them. Incidentally, Amazon we're about half the price of the main supermarkets and PCWorld etc. They even beat eBay. If they work I'll update the wiki information. And if you haven't watched the tutorials by Liam Fraser in YouTube search for RaspberryPiTutorials> then you should do so. He will show you how to put an operating system on your card.
Accuratus – these keyboards are packaged with our school computers and have a really good response without breaking the bank!
Microsoft – some Microsoft keyboards are better than others. some have a great response others not so great. I visited PCWorld and tried every keyboard on show.
Emprex – The Apple style keyboards are obviously in vogue. You easily get used to the flat low profile of the keyboards and the stylish looks. some of the copies are very plastic looking with horrible keys. The worry is you get what you pay for and that you waste money on a poor quality device.
I've decided to go for one of the Accuratus 260 USB keyboards with a built in hub to see if they work. hopefully to at least power my mouse and allow my to use a powered USB hub on the other port for other devices. Again, when I get my set up running I'll post my findings.
I've also bought one of the cheaper Emprex keyboards and look forward to trying that too!
Many of the ambiguities of setting up the Raspberry Pi will hopefully disappear as we learn from early adopters as they report on their setup. I'm happy to share my progress and look forward to seeing from others as they do the same.
As a computing teacher, I love all new technology. Therefore the idea of a cheap simple honest computer which should be accessible to everybody excites me. For £22 you can get a PC which hooks to the internet and will run a simple operating system.
Yet with the raspberry pi there is a retro feel to it too! Something which reminds me of my days of my first computer, a sinclair spectrum, basic raw computing power which you have to tussle with to help it to work. As the creators would like, I'd like to see this become a success. I've bought one, well added my name to the seemingly long waiting lists. I'm interested to see how this will develop but I like the large community following which it already seems to developed. I have watched many of the demos on you tube from the creators and others who are playing with python and linux distros to illustrate the kind of power that it will have.
I have a couple of points though; whilst in England they dropped the teaching of Computing Science from GCSE in Scotland we have always taught Computing Studies, including programming (we use VB6), and at Higher we teach Computing which includes a lot more programming and our option is AI which includes prolog too. Taking the British perspective I think it's important to illustrate this small difference which exists here north of the border.
Also, how easy will it be for a youth to download and install the OS to a flash drive without access to another PC? This will determine how many of these devices don't get used.
To facilitate this I'd like to start a (Raspberry) Pi Club at school! We'll just need to wait on the the devices being released in sufficient numbers.
When you see a young guy on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/raspberrypitutorials/ developing some stuff in Python it does beg that question – do we put too many barriers in the way of learning? If he can do it on his own, what could our lot do with some help? But for this to happen you need to de-clutter the curriculum beyond that which currently exists.
Anyway, I can't wait for mine and I encourage you lot to get one too.

Carolyn Bryan's Coaching Debut
Photo courtesy of Carolyn Bryan
Natalie Tousignant, Staff Writer
New junior varsity softball coach, Carolyn Bryan, is bringing a new energy to the softball program at Hawthorne High School. Alongside veteran varsity coach, Jackie Turco, and freshmen coach, Jackie Peene, Bryan is prepared for a season of improvement and learning, both on her part as a new coach and on the part of her players.
Bryan, who played softball at Midland Park High School and the University of South Carolina, became a paraprofessional at Hawthorne High School this year and is a graduate student at Montclair State University. This is her first experience coaching, and so far, she says, "The players at Hawthorne have been so receptive and kind. It is great to be a part of such a positive, hardworking program."
A huge proponent of improving mental skills as well as physical skills, Bryan says, "I am really into the mental part of the game. I think visualization and a positive attitude are essential in order to be successful." As a coach, Bryan expects her players to be both calm and prepared when they step up to the plate at game time by focusing on the mechanics of hitting in practice. She believes, "That's what practice is for."
She adds, "My goal for the JV team is to create an environment where the girls can advance their technical and mental skills in order to perform better and become better teammates. If we can do this as a team, I believe winning follows as a result."
Only a few weeks into practices, Bryan already feels like part of the Bears' softball family. Her competitive and encouraging coaching style has earned respect and admiration from her players. Sophomore Kelsey Cimillo remarks, "Coach Bryan really knows the game, but she's not intimidating. She's easy to approach and helps us go over exactly what we need to work on at each practice until we get it right." Agreeing, sophomore Stephanie Sabatello adds, "She does a great job at teaching us what it's like to be a team. She says any drama between us is dropped at softball." Peyton Boyd, sophomore, appreciates the care Bryan takes in each of her players and notes, "She takes time to work with us one-on-one."
Part of Bryan's approachability is her humility. She lives out the modest mantra she advocates, "Keep it simple" and sweats through the conditioning workouts in the gym alongside her players to motivate them.
In the same way her positive attitude has radiated among the team, Bryan's practice habits have extended to her players, including her after-practice tradition of high-fiving every person on the team at the end of practice. By ending each day with a round of high-fives, Bryan believes the girls can close practice with a clean slate, forgiving each other for that practice's errors and focusing on preparing themselves for the next day's practice or game.
Bryan cites her sister, Ali, also a softball coach, and her high school basketball coach, Mike Kilgallen, as two of her major coaching inspirations. Of Kilgallen, Bryan says, "If I can inspire and impact my players half as much as he does, I would be thrilled."
Judging by what her players say about her, it appears Bryan is well on her way to having that same impact.

Use a strong tripod Keeping your camera completely stable while taking your photos is vital; even the slightest bit of camera movement or vibration can mess up your shot.
Check the weatherGetting the 'money shot' requires the best weather possible, so use your weather app and plan your shoot around clear skies. However, other weather conditions might just be perfect for creating a dramatic mood in your long-exposure.
Getting the 'money shot' requires the best weather possible, so use your weather app and plan your shoot around clear skies. However, other weather conditions might just be perfect for creating a dramatic mood in your long-exposure.
Use a small aperature I'd suggest using a small aperture to allow for more accurate focusing, especially when shooting landscapes. Setting it between f/11 and f/16 is usually ideal.
Use a ND filter ND or neutral density filters can do wonders. This filter is effective in reducing the intensity of the light that enters the camera, which makes it possible to use even longer shutter speeds without over-exposing the shot. You can even use an ND filter to get long-exposure shots during the day.
Don't go crazy with ISO Setting your ISO too high can result in a very noisy and grainy image. To get smooth and clean long-exposures, I'd recommend setting your ISO anywhere under 100.
Hope these tips help you on your journey. Keep practicing and stay creative!

If you do not listen to what churchgoers describe as secular music, and do not pay attention to blog posts that carry gossip about celebrities, finding out that the rapper and record producer named Future has been able to achieve a net worth of $40 million might be somewhat surprising. However, if songs like Turn On the Lights, Move That Dope, Jumpman, and Mask Off have at some time been your favorite songs to workout or dance to, then the Atlanta, Georgia native is definitely no stranger and his earnings are nothing but a confirmation that he is being duly rewarded for his hard work.
