The most important software in any smartphone is its operating system (OS). An operating system manages the hardware and software resources of smartphones. Some platforms cover the entire range of the software stack. Others may only include the lower levels (typically the kernel and middleware layers) and rely on additional software platforms to provide a user interface framework. We've added some snapshots of specific smartphone operating systems.
Designed primarily for touch-screen mobile devices, Android, or Droid, technology is the operating system that most mobile telephones used as of Comscore's February 2014 numbers. Developed by Google, most people consider the Droid technology revolutionary because its open source technology allows people to write program codes and applications for the operating system, which means Android is evolving constantly. Smartphone users can decide whether to download the applications. Moreover, Android operating systems can run multiple applications, allowing users to be multitasking mavens. And get this: Any hardware manufacturer is free to produce its own Android phone by using the operating system. In fact, many smartphone companies do just that. Android app's store has hundreds of thousands of apps.
Apple is always innovating, and iOS allows iPhone screens to be used simply and logically. Touted by Apple as the "world's most advance mobile operating system," iOS supports more access from sports scores to restaurant recommendations. As of publication, its latest version iOS7 allows for automatic updates and a control center that gives users access to their most used features. It also makes surfing the net easier with an overhaul to the Safari browser.
Reviewers say that Windows Phone 8 (WP8) is as simple to use as iOS and as easy to customize as Android. Its crowning achievement is LiveTiles, which are programmed squares that users can rearrange on their screen to easily access the information they want. WP8 works well with other Microsoft products, including Office and Exchange. For those who do a lot of calling, connecting to Facebook and texting, WP8 may meet their needs.
At first glance, experts say, Ubuntu 13.10 Touch might seem like an ordinary operating system, but it's not. Experts say Ubuntu Touch one of the easiest systems to use, allowing seamless navigation with multiple scopes. There are no hardware buttons on the bottom, for example. Instead, Ubuntu works from the edges. Developed by Canonical, the Ubuntu Touch allows users to unlock the phone from the right edge. You can swipe down from the top edge to access the phone's indicators, including date, time, messages (from variety of sources, ie: Skype and Facebook) and wireless networks. The phone also makes it easy for people to organize and share photos. Every shot is automatically uploaded to a personal cloud account, which makes it available on all devices, including iOS, Android and Windows [sources: Ubuntu, Vaughan-Nichols].

So I asked my daughter to name the cookies and she came up with "Tezamala"...uh, okay. So I decided to go with something based on the ingredients. Peanut butter is peanut butter...there's no improving that. When I thought about white chocolate and corn flakes, I came up with "snow". (I'm sure there's a psych test out there that has just deemed me unstable.) So there you have it...Peanut Butter Snowballs.
Melt butterscotch chips in microwave.
Add in peanut butter and then mix in noodles until well covered.
Plop onto wax paper and chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.


As the second oldest of Rupert Murdoch's children, Elisabeth Murdoch was born into a position in a media empire.
But instead of settling into a cushy corner office at her father's company, News Corp., Murdoch strove to etch out her own place in the media world.
Now she is the most independently successful of all of Rupert's children.
Her own media company, Shine, is soaring in revenues. Meanwhile, she finds time to raise six kids, ride horses, and handle damage control when her husband spoke out against Fox News's role in American right-wing politics.
Elisabeth has been giving some rare interviews in the media recently. She told the Guardian about News Corp: "We'll all work very closely together, but whether that means in executive roles," I don't know.
She got an elite education in one of Manhattan's finest private schools: Bearley.
Elisabeth moved to Manhattan at the age of six, when her father took over the New York Post. She attended the all-girls Bearley School on the Upper East Side, then moved to upstate New York to attend Vassar College. There, she met her first husband, Ghanian Elkin Pianim, while they were filming a university television show.
Fresh out of college, she turned a $12 million profit with two NBC stations.
In 1994, after briefly working at FX, Elisabeth and her husband purchased two California NBC TV stations - KSBW in Salinas and KSBY in San Luis Obispo - with loan guarantees from her father. Murdoch's forceful approach was criticised by staff members. But it paid off: Within a year, she sold the two stations for a $12 million profit.
She transformed BSkyB before leaving four years later.
At age 27, Murdoch hopped to London to be general manager of broadcasting and head of programming at BSkyB, her father's satellite TV company. The Man Who Owns The News biographer Michael Wolff told us Rupert constantly looked over her shoulder and rival News Corp executives made her feel as unwelcome as possible.
Elisabeth breaks out on her own with Shine Group.
But she pulled through. Murdoch transformed the media company 'from a soccer-obsessed boys' club' to a mini-studio for low budget, theatrical-quality movies and television product. She is credited with ramping up the statcaster's annual production budget to almost $150 million per year from $8 million,' according to allbusiness.com. Four years after she joined BSkyB, she left to start Shine Group in 2001. Shine produced TV hits such as Biggest Loser, brought in $400 million of revenue in 2009, according to the company's site.
Despite invitations, she's steering clear of News Corp.
Despite her successes at Shine, rumours still swirl that Murdoch will abandon Shine in favour of the family business. News Corp. offered her a position on their board of directors nearly a year and a half ago, but she declined the invitation, opting to be an 'observer' instead.
In 2009, she created her own start-up.
We in the TV business have to catch up with what our audience is doing. We can no longer afford to be one-screen business. Social networks are finally the interactive dimension of storytelling. We now need to evolve with our audience. To resist this would be like resisting Technicolor.
She finds time for family life, too.
Despite all of the work, she has found time to raise a family. Murdoch had two children with her first husband, Elkin Pianim: Cornelia (born 1994 in New York) and Anna (born 1997 in London). They divorced in 1998. In 2001, she married millionaire PR-guru Matthew Freud, the great-grandson of Sigmund Freud, and had two children: Charlotte (born 2000 in England) and Samson (born 2007 in England). She is the stepmother of Freud's two children from a previous marriage.
She raised $81,879 for cancer research.
Murdoch's grandmother and namesake, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, spent her life as a philanthropist. Following in her footsteps, Murdoch has made charities and fundraising a priority. Murdoch recently participated in the Cheltenham Ladies Day Charity Race. Though she - and her horse, Al Amaan - did not win, she raised $81,879 for Cancer Research UK.
When asked if she will ever succeed her father as head of News Corp. she told the Guardian, 'We'll all work very closely together, but whether that means in executive roles,' I don't know.

Excel is an excellent software program for creating spreadsheets and charts for reporting purposes. However, that's not the limit of Excel's functionality.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a programming language. With the addition of the VBA Editor, it is possible to use Excel for far more than just basic reports. Excel VBA can automate complex tasks and perform complicated series of actions. The intent of this page is to show some useful Excel VBA examples that I have picked up in the process of creating my own applications. Click on the bulleted items below to view Excel Visual Basic codes and tricks.
How do you make your macros run automatically when opening your workbook. You can either use the Auto Open method or the Workbook Open method. These macros will display the message "Hello" when you open the workbook.
This code would be located in the module. However if you use the second method, the code must be in the workbook (double click "This Workbook" in the explorer window). Click on the drop down list (that says General) and select Workbook. Click on the drop down list (that says declarations) and select Open.
To combine data from two spreadsheets into one spreadsheet, assume the following: Three spreadsheets within the same workbook will be used in this example: Sheet1, Sheet2, and CombinedData. The header rows on each spreadsheet that contains data (Sheet1 and Sheet2) are the same. The data from both spreadsheets will be combined (along with just one header row) into one spreadsheet named "CombinedData." The procedure will be called AppendData.
This won't lock/freeze the column, but whenever the user moves the cursor it will automatically reset the column width to what you want it at.
General Number Displays a number without thousand separators.
Currency Displays thousand separators as well as two decimal places.
Fixed Displays at least one digit to the left of the decimal place and two digits to the right of the decimal place.
Standard Displays the thousand separators, at least one digit to the left of the decimal place, and two digits to the right of the decimal place.
Percent Displays a percent value - that is, a number multiplied by 100 with a percent sign. Displays two digits to the right of the decimal place.
Yes/No Displays No if the number is 0. Displays Yes if the number is not 0.
True/False Displays True if the number is 0. Displays False if the number is not 0.
On/Off Displays Off if the number is 0. Displays On is the number is not 0.
How do you insert the filename and path in the footer of a document?
If you want the information to be inserted within the header, just change the "CenterFooter" to "CenterHeader".
How do I hide toolbars within my excel spreadsheet? The first step is to create macros which remove the toolbars (macro: RemoveToolbar) upon opening the spreadsheet and then restore the toolbars (macro: RestoreToolbar) when closing the spreadsheet. If you don't restore the toolbars, the next time the user runs Excel they will be in for quite a surprise. Here are the sub routines calling the macros upon opening and closing the workbook.
How do you print only a pivot table within a spreadsheet and capture all data no matter how many times you refresh the pivot table?
How do you refresh a pivot table within a spreadsheet or multiple pivot tables within a workbook?
How do you construct a button that allows users to select different printing options? One way is to create your own user form that is loaded upon clicking your custom print button. The spreadsheet information and interface (picture optional) below will be constructed.
An Excel Worksheet contains a Query Table that connects to your Data file using an ODBC Driver. When changes are made to your data file they can be automatically updated in the query table when opening your workbook. There are several ways to accomplish this task, but I will break it down into two subroutines and an event procedure.
ConnString = "ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=ServerName;UID=UserId;PWD=Password;APP=Microsoft Office 2003;WSID=wsid;DATABASE=DatabaseName"
Second, this subroutine (RefreshQueries) will call the above routine (Refresher) to refresh any specified sheets within the workbook. In this example, three separate spreadsheets (Sheet 1, Sheet 2 & Sheet 3) all contain query tables that will refresh once passed to the Refresher subroutine.
You can add as many worksheets within your subroutine RefreshQueries that contain queries needing updating.


A lifelong Bookseller (with a capital B), Tom is your guy when you need something new but have no idea what - except that you liked that one blue & gold book everyone read last year. Seriously. Give him a challenge, and he'll always rise to the occasion. He also really likes small press books and essay/short story collections.
I have too much to say about this book for one conversation. This isn't just the best essay collection I've read this year or the best music criticism (it is both): It is one of the most beautiful, catch-your-breath, heart-in-throat books I've encountered. It is a gift. Please, enjoy it. We don't get work this great that often.
I'll keep this short: This is one of the most impressive short story collections I've read in years.
The Transmigration of Bodies reads like a fever dream: an intense, enthralling examination of how people live in a city of the dying and the dead. It takes an extraordinary amount of sill to combine elements of noir, political commentary, hardboiled crime, and allegory (not to mention Shakespeare, with a seasoning of existential ennui) and keep the novel moving, or in this case, racing along. Herrera, clearly, has at least that much talent, and then some.

Dame Sarah Elizabeth Siddons Mair (23 de septiembre de 1846 - 13 de febrero de 1941) fue una activista escocesa a favor de la educación y el sufragio femenino en el Reino Unido. Participó activamente en la Asociación de Edimburgo para la Educación Universitaria de la Mujer y en la Sociedad de Debate de Damas de Edimburgo, que fundó antes de cumplir los 20 años.

Trayectoria
Nacida en una familia acomodada de Edimburgo, Sarah era hija del mayor Arthur Mair del 62.º Regimiento y de Elizabeth Harriot Mair (de soltera Siddons). Era nieta del actor Henry Siddons y bisnieta de la actriz Sarah Siddons. La familia vivía en el n.º 29 de Abercromby Place en la Segunda Ciudad Nueva de Edimburgo.

Cuando Mair tenía 19 años, fundó la Edinburgh Essay Society, que pronto pasó a llamarse Ladies' Edinburgh Debating Society. Fue su presidenta y mantuvo esa posición durante 70 años. La sociedad se reunía en la espaciosa casa de la familia Mair de la Ciudad Nueva y ofrecía a las mujeres de Edimburgo de cierto origen la oportunidad de debatir cuestiones sociales, mientras aprendían a hablar en público y a debatir. Publicaron The Attempt, rebautizada como Ladies' Edinburgh Magazine en 1876, que las vinculó con lectores de todo el país. Mair y Helen Campbell Reid dirigían la publicación. La escritora Charlotte Mary Yonge contribuyó con ellas y Mair revisó para su publicación la colección de ensayos de Josephine Butler, Women's Work and Women's Culture.

La sociedad y su sede en el comedor Mair fueron el foco de muchos esfuerzos para promover los derechos y la educación de las mujeres, encabezados por mujeres de familias profesionales generalmente prósperas. Louisa y Flora Stevenson fueron miembros desde el inicio, al igual que Louisa Lumsden, fundadora de St Leonards School en St Andrews, y Charlotte Carmichael, madre de Marie Stopes.

La sociedad debatió en ciertos momentos la cuestión del sufragio femenino, con Mair apoyándolo durante toda su vida. En 1866 y 1872 descubrió que ella y sus compañeras sufragistas estaban en minoría, pero a partir de 1884 las mociones a favor del sufragio femenino fueron aprobadas por mayorías crecientes. Mair pertenecía a la Sociedad Nacional de Edimburgo para el Sufragio de la Mujer, que había sido fundada en 1867 como la primera sociedad escocesa en hacer campaña por el voto de las mujeres, y enviaba oradores a eventos por toda Escocia, incluida la Dra. Elsie Inglis, su secretaria honoraria desde 1906. Mair más tarde se convirtió en presidente de la asociación, y luego presidenta de la Federación Escocesa de Sociedades de Sufragio de Mujeres. A menudo hizo de mediadora entre grupos que tenían enfoques diferentes sobre cómo hacer campaña por el voto. Una vez que las mujeres mayores de 30 años obtuvieron el derecho al voto en 1918, Mair dirigió la Sociedad del Sufragio a una nueva fase como la Sociedad para la Igualdad de Ciudadanos.

Sarah Mair fue una miembro importante de la Asociación Educativa de Damas de Edimburgo en 1867, y estuvo presente en la reunión fundacional, aunque no se la considera miembro fundadora, probablemente porque en aquel momento no estaba casada y era bastante joven. Ella y Mary Crudelius estaban dispuestas a ir paso a paso hacia su objetivo de igualdad de acceso a la educación universitaria para ambos sexos, y Mair creía que un enfoque práctico traería los resultados correctos. En última instancia querían algo más que un sistema educativo separado para las mujeres, por muy buena que fuera la enseñanza.

En 1876 se produjo un esfuerzo por mejorar la educación preuniversitaria de las mujeres. Se ofrecieron clases en St George's Hall para ayudarlas a ingresar a la universidad, con cursos por correspondencia para quienes no podían asistir presencialmente. En 1886, Mair participó con Mary Russell Walker y otras en la creación de St George's Training College, seguida de St. George's High School for Girls en 1888. Este colegio de formación fue la primera institución escocesa en capacitar a mujeres para enseñar en escuelas secundarias y la escuela secundaria fue la primera escuela diurna escocesa para niñas que les proporcionaba educación hasta el nivel de ingreso a la universidad. Las niñas de St George's estuvieron entre las primeras mujeres graduadas de la Universidad de Edimburgo. Mary Russell Walker regresó de Londres en 1885, con la cualificación necesaria para dirigir el colegio y más tarde la escuela.

Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, la asociación de Mair con Elsie Inglis, que comenzaron como compañeras sufragistas, continuó mientras Mair era presidenta del Comité de Hospitales de los Hospitales de Mujeres Escocesas para el Servicio Exterior, cuyos fondos se obtuvieron de contactos en Edimburgo y más allá. Mair también actuó como tesorera del proyecto Masson Hall de la Asociación de Edimburgo para la Educación Universitaria de la Mujer y presidió los comités del Hospital Bruntsfield para Mujeres y Niños y el Hospital de Maternidad Elsie Inglis Memorial. También tuvo tiempo para demostrar que una mujer podía tener habilidad tanto en el tiro con arco como en el ajedrez, y pertenecía al Ladies' Chess Club.

Reconocimientos
El trabajo de Mair por la educación de las mujeres le valió un Doctorado Honoris Causa de la Universidad de Edimburgo en 1920y un DBE en 1931.

Remembranza
Mair murió en casa de su sobrina en Buckinghamshire. Se celebró su funeral en la Catedral de St Mary, Edimburgo. Un obituario en The Scotsman la recordaba como una "mujer pionera" y una "venerable y notable dama de Edimburgo, una que ayudó a hacer historia en su tiempo". También se la recuerda en el monumento conmemorativo de su familia paterna en el cementerio de St. Cuthbert, Edimburgo, y como la enfermera de su familia, lo que aparece grabado en la tumba. La tumba se encuentra en la pared norte de la sección norte, adosada al cementerio adyacente en St Johns.

Strawberry Mansion Learning Center Needs Your Help.
Gary Barbera donated Phillies Tickets to Strawberry Mansion Learning Center and took park in the Third Annual Fundraiser at the Reading Terminal Market.
Kevin Upshur, Strawberry Mansion Learning Center founder and a longtime resident of Strawberry Mansion, has watched his neighborhood go through changes in his life. Instead of watching from the sidelines Upshur's family owned and operated bar was converted into the Strawberry Mansion Learning Center, a non-profit neighborhood education and resource center. Since 2008, the center has provided the children of the community with an after school safe haven, where they can practice reading, as well as computer skills. Upshur is teaching the children to not only help themselves, but to help others as well.
Gary Barbera and Kevin Upshur met years ago when Gary drove one of his Prowlers in their Strawberry Mansion Day Parade. Gary was so moved by how grateful and friendly the Strawberry Mansion community was that they became one of Gary's favorite Philadelphia organizations who make a difference.
Gary keeps Kevin on the top of his list for sporting event ticket donations. This gives the children a chance to take a break from life and head out to see a Phillies or 76ers game. Recently Gary gave Kevin Phillies and Thrill Show tickets to take the kids and their families. Fun was had by all.
Their 3rd Annual Strawberry Mansion Learning Center Fundraiser at Reading Terminal Market honored Jerry Cuddy, President of Beneficial Bank and Anju Gupta, GM of Reading Terminal Market. Gary Barbera was once again honored to lend a helping hand.
If you would like to Lend a Helping Hand to Strawberry Mansion Learning Center, please go to GaryBarbera.com or www.gofundme.com/strawberrymansion.

Q: Store a file inside of a batch file? Hi im trying to store a binary file inside of a basic batch script that ive written. Basically i want the script to be able to output this prebuilt file at some point instead of creating it from scratch.
If this is not possible then i would have to include this file separately with the batch file which would then move it into the necessary location, but I'd rather have this file invisible to the user so that it seems that the file is being generated from within the batch.
So is this possible and if so how? Thanks in advance.

A: If the target machine is Vista and higher then you can use certutil.exe and create a base64 encoded text, which you can embed within the batch file.
This example has a base64 encoded file that is just a single space, but the technique is the same with larger binaries.
This batch file uses certutil.exe to decode the certificate and data and create the file with a single space in it, no carriage return or line feed.
@echo off
(
echo -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
echo IA==
echo -----END CERTIFICATE-----
)>file.tmp
certutil -decode file.tmp "file with a single space.txt" >nul
del file.tmp

To encode a program file for placing inside the batch file you use a command line like this, replacing myprogram.exe with your program name:
certutil -encode -f "myprogram.exe" file.tmp

and then place the contents of file.tmp inside the batch file:
@echo off
(
echo -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
echo place the data from file.tmp here
echo as it is listed inside the file
echo -----END CERTIFICATE-----
)>file.tmp
certutil -decode file.tmp "myprogram.exe" >nul
del file.tmp

It's fairly easy to add the echo to the front of each line and then use the data from file2.tmp:
@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in (file.tmp) do >>file2.tmp (echo(echo %%a)

A: CERTUTIL
The foxidriive's answer will work but it can be improved with much more less IO operations.
When decoding base64 file certutil cares only about the begin and end tags. Here;s an example that will create and open a small jpg file:
@echo off

del /q /f pointer.jpg >nul 2>nul
certutil -decode "%~f0" pointer.jpg
hh.exe pointer.jpg
exit /b %errorlevel%

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

ecJmx1BMSbm8D6UVKVcg/9k=
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

IEXPRESS
You can use IEXPRESS to create self-extracting executable that packs the needed binaries ,a bat file and execute the packed file. You can use directives or the defauled UI mode by just invoking the command.
Alternate data streams
you can store data in an alternate data stream and then read it with powershell. Mind that most text editors will remove the ADS:
@echo off
del new.jpg /f /q >nul 2>&1
chcp  65001
type pointer.jpg >"%~f0:bindata"
powershell "$data=Get-Content -path """%~f0"""  -stream bindata;Out-File -FilePath '.\new.jpg' -InputObject $data -Encoding unicode;"
exit /b %errorlevel%

A: Read about HERE documents.  Msdos batch does not offer them, but perl and ruby are both available and do.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_document

A: You could simply append the binary part to your batch file with COPY.
copy /a batchBin.bat + /b myBinaryFile.bin /b combined.bat

batchBin.bat (The last line with exit /b should end with a newline)
    ;;;===,,,@echo off
    ;;;===,,,echo line2
    ;;;===,,,findstr /v "^;;;===,,," "%~f0" > output.bin
    ;;;===,,,exit /b

The key is the findstr command, it outputs all lines not beginning with ;;;===,,,.
And as each of them are standard batch delimiters, they can be prefix any command in a batch file in any combination.

Burial Mound Archaeology
The mounded tombs or kofun of the Japanese archipelago include some of the largest burial monuments of the ancient world. In conjunction with the Japan Section in the Department of Asia at the British Museum we are working with a team of Japanese specialists led by Professor Ichinose Kazuo (Kyoto Tachibana University) and Professor Hishida Tetsuo (Kyoto Prefectural University) on the collection of Kofun period artefacts and archive acquired by William Gowland, one of the Meiji period foreign specialists, who visited, investigated and recorded over 400 kofun while living in Japan between 1872 and 1888.
We are also working with Dr Thomas Knopf (Tubingen University) and have supported two research conferences on Kofun archaeology and we are collaborating with Professor Fukunaga Shin'ya (Osaka University) on a major comparative project about large burial mounds around the world.
The Centre also hosts Luke Edgington-Brown, a PhD student funded through a Collaborative Doctoral Award from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, researching the Gowland Collection.
From the 3rd to the 7th centuries AD, important people in Japan were buried in mounded tombs, accompanied by elaborate 'grave goods'. Many of these tombs, or 'kofun' remain as striking monuments in the Japanese landscape, and include some of the largest funerary structures of the ancient world. A proportion of these tombs, designated as the final resting places of Imperial ancestors, are not accessible for any archaeological research. And some are now being put forward for inscription as a World Heritage Site. The Sainsbury Institute, in partnership with the British Museum, is developing a major new research project about the kofun period. The first two years of this project were documented by NHK for a special programme about the Gowland collection at the British Museum, aired in July 2012. The project will develop to set the kofun in Japan in their East Asian context, and their place in the archaeology of late antiquity in Eurasia.
Workshop on the Current Research in Kofun Archaeology
In conjunction with the Department of Archaeology of the Graduate School of Letters at Osaka University, in July 2012 the Sainsbury Institute hosted the first in a planned series of workshops on the archaeology of the Kofun period. Specialists and students from Osaka and Meiji Universities gave presentations on a series of topics relating to kofun period archaeology, and Professor Chris Scarre (University of Durham) and Professor Martin Carver (University of York) set these in the context of current thinking on European Neolithic megalithic monuments and sites such as Sutton Hoo respectively. Further workshops on kofun archaeology are planned as the kofun project develops.
Workshop on Current Research
Workshop on the Gowland Collection and the Archaeology of the Later Kofun Period
As part of our collaboration with the Japanese Section at the Department of Asia at the British Museum, a team of Japanese archaeologists are undertaking a comprehensive survey of the Gowland Collection of Kofun period materials at the British Museum. William Gowland was one of the foreign experts (oyatoi gaikokujin) employed by the government of Meiji Japan. He worked in the Osaka Mint from 1872 to 1888. As well as being credited with naming the Japanese Alps, Gowland also investigated over 400 kofun in the area around Osaka, including the Shibayama kofun which he meticulously excavated. The collection he brought back from Japan when he returned to Britain, and the extensive accompanying archive was acquired by the British Museum by Augustus Woollaston Franks. A workshop was held at the British Museum on 3 March 2012 at which the preliminary results of the survey were presented and set in the context of current research on the later Kofun period.
The team is lead by Professor Ichinose Kazuo (Kyoto Tachibana University), and includes specialists on later Kofun archaeology (Professor Hishida Tetsuo, Kyoto Prefectural University; Professor Morishita Shoji, Otemae University; and Tomiyama Naoto, Kobe City Museum. This survey will result in the Gowland Collection and archive being publicly accessible through the British Museum?s website.
Workshop on the Archaeology of the Three Kingdoms Period in Korea
As part of the Centre for Archaeology and Heritage's engagement with the archaeology of the Kofun period in Japan (c 250-710 AD), a workshop was held in conjunction with the Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, on 4 February 2012 when six scholars of the Three Kingdoms period on the Korean peninsula gave presentations about their latest research. The peninsula was divided into the Three Kingdoms of Koguryo in the north, Baekche in the southwest, and Silla in the southeast until unification under Silla in 668 AD. During this period there was intense interaction between the emerging elites of the peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, resulting in s shared elite material culture ranging from mounded tombs to armour, horse trappings and ceramics. During the first half of the 6th century Buddhism was introduced to Japan from the kingdom of Baekche. The workshop was organised in conjunction with Professor Kim Jong-il of Seoul National University and we are grateful to the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research and the Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge for their support.

Groups and individuals alike can sponsor the recording and initial distribution of an unrecorded language in one of the regions of the world in which GRN operates. For a very reasonable amount, several hours of Bible story and gospel message recordings can be produced and handed out to some of the neediest unreached people groups of our planet. You can sponsor individual minutes or take on an entire project for an investment of $9,000. In some cases, you may even be able to coordinate a trip to visit the people group for whom the recordings are made!

If you attend an event and forget to scan the QR code, in many cases your university will provide a way for you to go back and self-report your attendance.
For example, if you are trying to complete the requirement "Attend 8 global and cultural events", for any events that you miss scanning the QR code at, then all you have to is complete one of the "Other global and cultural event" reflection options under that requirement.
In order to complete one of these, simply submit a reflection about the event you attended.
You can submit reflections via the web or the mobile app.
These self-report options are also applicable for other experiences that you have and would like to receive credit for. In the example above, if you do any personal traveling or have any meaningful cultural experiences on your own, you would be able to self-report that for one of the "Other global and cultural events" self-report options above.
If there is anything you are unsure about, or simply have questions about something, feel free to reach out to us via chat or email at support@suitable.co.

Euregio English provides exam preparation for 3 of the Cambridge General English exams: First Certificate, Advanced and Proficiency. These exams cover a wide range of English usage, including language for business but not exclusively and are recognized by companies and universities all over the world. They are ideal not only if you are intending to work, live or study abroad in an English speaking country, but also as a means to motivate you to improve your level and build confidence in your own skills. All the exams can be taken in Eindhoven twice a year, usually in June and December. The certificates are awarded by the university of Cambridge ESOL examination centre.
The table below shows how exams relate to the Council of Europe levels.
FCE indicates sufficient proficiency in English to be of practical use in administrative, secretarial and managerial jobs in many industries which require contact with English speakers.
CAE indicates a standard of English that is adequate for most purposes including social and professional situations and higher education. The certficate recognises the ability to communicate with confidence in English and deal with most aspects of everyday life: participate in meetings and discussions, express opinions clearly and be able to understand and produce texts of various types, including business letters and reports. You'll also be capable of following university courses taught in English. The CAE is taken by more than 60,000 people each year in more than 60 countries.
Certificate of Proficiency in English.
CPE indicates the ability to function effectively in almost any English-speaking context and a standard of English similar to that of an educated native speaker. Success at this level represents a significant personal achievement and shows that you have progressed beyond a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar and can actually use the language in real contexts. The CPE is taken by over 45,000 people each year in more than 80 countries.


First person to correctly guess the meaning behind my expression wins a prize!
You were giving the photographer instructions!
Is that man behind you giving your bum a cheeky pinch?
I think you are singing a silly song.
Gosh idk!! Maybe you were trying to make the photographer laugh?
"Take your hand off...!? Ooh I love games and puzzles.
I guess we are all thinking the same thing. Where are his hands!?
Lovely shot! I think the person taking the picture said something and you were reacting. Probably saying " Now really!"
your eyes are stunning in this picture! so blue!
You just found out you won some money.
He wants his mom to move in!Happy WW!
Is he pinching your tush?! It is a hilarious expression, whatever the meaning!
I'm a new follower and would love for you to check me out!
I have no idea but this is super funny!
I have no idea. :)I played too. Mine are here and here.
Take me to the opera?
no idea, and it would be many things. Happy ww!
Um, you're mimicking someone in a strange way :) That's what I would be doing if I wore that expression haha!
I got it - you were just about to sneeze.
Or... You just saw someone get injured or fall into a pool.


In choosing between this and other USB 12 volt outlets this product is much higher quality. So it was a no-brainer choice.
The product was easy to install and works great. Only two wires to splice in to and walla! Then mount it and you are good to go. Charging time cut in half!

Description The objective of this research is to produce polypropylene fibers with improved interface bonding with a concrete matrix. The Laboratory Mixing Extruder paired with the Randcastle fiberline drawing device was used for producing fiber from polypropylene (PP) chips. A target diameter of 0.5 mm fiber was obtained from a 2-stage process in the production line. The effort to improve the fiber surface by applying aluminum oxide sol-gel coating was unsatisfactory due to the failure of the coating materials to adhere to the fiber. Incorporating silica fume (SF) powder in the fiber extrusion process enhanced fiber properties. Silica fume co-extruded PP (SFPP) fiber has different characteristics in appearance, flexibility and surface roughness. Most importantly, the co-extrusions produced significance improvements in surface characteristics. Silica fume particles caused significant changes in the surface roughness of the fiber and contributed to the improved bonding performance in a cement-based matrix. The inclusion of the extruded fibers in a concrete matrix also improved the flexural toughness. Additional testing was conducted to examine the performance of extruded fiber in preventing plastic shrinkage cracking. Fiber reinforced mortar containing RPP and SFPP fibers were evaluated. Based on total crack area reduction efficiency, and crack width reduction efficiency SFPP fibers performed better than RPP fibers. These results indicate that the objective of developing a concrete reinforcing fiber using laboratory equipment was successfully achieved. The inclusion of silica fume particles in the extrusion process significantly changed the properties of the fiber and therefore contributed to the performance of these extruded fibers in the concrete matrix.


I SHOULD'VE READ THIS YEARS AGO.
This book floated on and off my TBR for years (no really, it was at least 2 years). WHY did I wait this long? I have no idea. Honestly, I think it was the whole troll concept. I wasn't super into that. Wow though, I was wrong and am so glad I gave this a chance.
I was immediately drawn in. This is the type of book I read most often and the ones I enjoy easily. Having Cécile thrown into an enemies to lovers situation with Tristan was EVERYTHING. Y'all, I never get tired of this scenario.
I was impressed with Cécile for the most part. I feel there was some communication issues between her and others that frustrated me, but I appreciated she didn't take her situation lying down. I loved watching her have a change of heart and growing and listening to those around her. I hope she is the liberator these people need by the end.
I could have used a bit more action overall. While things did keep happening, I was missing that extra uhmph from some of the scenes. The flow of the story was smooth though. The romance moved at a pace that made sense (which is always appreciative).
There were a handful of heart in my throat moments where I didn't know what would happen next. I was impressed at the emotion I felt for these characters. I really had a connection with them and learning about the Troll society was heart breaking and interesting. The magical components made sense in the world and never felt out of place.
A lot was unveiled towards the end that I'm excited to get my hands on book two!

Home > News and events > The Birmingham Brief > The Sahara and Europe: so, what comes next?
As gun barrels are cooling down around a blood–stained BP compound in Algeria, and as fighter jets still roam the skies of Northern Mali in search for Islamist militant targets, it is only legitimate to ask what Europe should contemplate doing next in the vast expanses (twice the size of Western Europe) of the Saharo–Sahelian region? Understandable colonial guilt (and the corresponding fear of neo–colonialism) may induce Europeans simply not to intervene. Full stop. Yet there are several reasons to take a different direction.
In the first place, calls for help from embattled allies should be taken seriously. This is particularly true for France, which is bound to Mali by a defence agreement. The current Malian government certainly suffers from a lack of legitimacy as it has not been elected (though the current interim president has an electoral mandate, since he had been chosen by his peers as president of the Malian national assembly), but the socio–political project of the Islamist groups, which have clearly stated their intention to finish off the Republic of Mali, as well as harrowing reports coming from the regions already under their control, have made a strong moral and humanitarian case. Exceptional circumstances call for exceptional decisions. After all, General De Gaulle had never been elected when he sought refuge in London, and yet the Free French were welcomed as the liberators of Paris in 1944.
Europeans also have more self-interested reasons to justify why they should do their bit to help those who fight so that the Sahara does not become a no–go zone: this is the place where substantial proportions of the oil, gas, phosphates, iron ore and uranium used in Western Europe are extracted. Because its northern margins reach the shores of the Mediterranean, Europe is, to a certain extent, its rear garden (or the other way around if you want to stick to a more Eurocentric perspective). Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has clearly stated that it intended to use it as a base to strike Europe, and the menace should be taken seriously. Even more importantly, the Sahara also has the potential to become a land of resources, if its development is left unhampered in the next few decades. For instance, fitted with the right solar panels, it could easily produce all the electricity Europe needs. And conversely, Europe could provide some much–needed human and technological capital to the region.
Being involved in the harmonious development of the Sahara, so that its resources are genuinely beneficial to its inhabitants, will not be made any easier if groups fundamentally and ideologically hostile to anything vaguely Western are left to dictate their intransigent law. Instead, increased cooperation across the Mediterranean could prove a clear case of a win–win relationship in decades to come. All the governments of the region are actively fighting terrorist threats on their territories, and would appreciate a clear sign that the northern shore of the mare nostrum is on their side too. Some of them, like Algeria, have been on the job for decades. When they do not request help, they should certainly be able to manage their affairs on their own terms, lest we would like to impinge on their sovereignty.
The situation is a bit different for those who do request external help. We need to ensure that our support is used, not as a stopgap measure, but in the perspective of durable conflict resolution. In Mali's case, this means pushing the agenda for a return to democracy as soon as the security situation allows. It also implies to leave no stone unturned to solve the Tuareg question, which has been undermining the unity of the country since independence. It should start almost immediately, with sustained efforts to limit as much as possible indiscriminate retaliation against light–skinned populations when Northern Mali is reconquered. The temptation will be strong, among the (dark–skinned) soldiers of the Malian army, to equate being Tuareg or Arab with pertaining to a jihadist group. Leaving regulars to indulge in such hasty and lethal generalisations would be a fatal error that would undermine any effort of reconciliation. The longer–term goal should be to ensure a genuine development of the Northern half of Mali which provides meaningful opportunities to local young people. Unemployment and idleness are the most effective fast–track to armed militancy, drug trafficking and sheer violence, which have been undermining the region for decades. Foreign impetus could be used this time to jump–start the engine of development for good.
These are challenging projects and they will not be easy to implement. Yet, neither local nor European governments are condemned to remain alone in their effort. Starting from the realisation that they are objective allies in a battle against under-development and obscurantism, they could engage in a mutually beneficial partnership. Sceptics on both sides may raise eyebrows, but the potential benefits for all parties would be substantial. Rather than just thinking about battling terrorism, we would better consider the grander scheme of how we can make ourselves useful to local governments for the purpose of developing the vast expanses of the Sahara. Europe and the Sahara, partners in development. More than a mere slogan, it should simply become our programme whenever we are invited to act in the region.

Virginia lawmakers decided not to move forward with a plan to eliminate religious exemptions for vaccines in the state. Instead, they asked that the matter be studied further by the state's Joint Commission on Healthcare. A Friday public poll is under way.
A similar bill that removed religious exemptions regarding vaccines was passed in California last year. Only three states have passed similar legislation, reports ABC News, whose staff is running an online poll Friday (Jan. 29) to gather people's opinion on this matter. Click here to participate in the poll.
At publishing time, respondents to the poll were running 69 percent not in favor of religious exemptions for vaccines to 31 percent in favor.
ABC cited a parent who said, "Tremendous harm was done by those vaccines to her son." Lisa Sykes said vaccines with high levels of mercury are to blame for her son Wesley being diagnosed with autism when he was two-and-a-half years old.
Sykes told ABC she is not anti-vaccines, but based on her experience, she stayed away from some vaccines when it came to Wesley's younger brother, Joshua. She said she would not want those decisions to be taken out of parents' hands.
"It's a mistake for the government to start telling parents and physicians what to do in regard to a child," said Sykes.
Sykes calls for an investigation of every ingredient in vaccines to be assessed. "Safety trials need to be very rigorous so we know what exactly are the risks," said Sykes.
But pediatrician Dr. Gayle Schrier Smith of Partners in Pediatrics in Richmond, Va., told ABC studies have looked at places where there are a high number of unvaccinated children, and the results speak for themselves.
"It's pretty hard to find a religion that opposes vaccines across the board," Smith said.
"Parents should have the religious freedom of choice for their children. Keep government out of religion."
"Yes, we should be allowed to make our OWN decisions for EVERY medical decision for ourselves and our kids. We are planning on moving to Virginia come summer so guess need to keep track of this tyrannical scheme. Pass it and well there goes us moving there."
California moved one step closer to strengthening its vaccination requirements after a key state Senate panel passed a bill on Wednesday. However, that action has sparked protests outside the legislature in Sacramento.
Despite numerous studies from medical science that have consistently proven the safety and necessity of vaccines, some Americans still refuse to vaccinate themselves or their children. However, the reasons behind their refusal to do so can be complicated.
A new study published in most recent Journal of Public Health and Epidemiology reveals a clear correlation between autism disorder (AD) and MMR, Varicella (chickenpox) and Hepatitis-A vaccines--all of which are made with human fetal cell lines.

Looking for easy chocolate cake decoration ideas? Here is a super easy decorating idea I used for my chocolate cake last weekend and the whole process took me less than 15 minutes with results that was absolutely pleasing to the eyes!
Chocolate cake - I baked the cake using my chocolate cake recipe (best ever chocolate cake recipe!). The cake itself measured 5 inches in diameter and approximately 6 inches tall. The recipe was calculated for 5 eggs (half the recipe for 9 inches round cake tin) and I baked it in 5 inch round cake tins. The batter was enough for 4 layers of cake, but I only used 3 for this project. We finished the other one immediately after baking. My kids and husband love the cake fresh out of the oven!
Chocolate icing - The quantity was exactly as mentioned in the recipe here and it was just nice for the cake (there was absolutely no balance left!). The filling in between each cake layer was pretty thin, and that is simply because we all like it that way, but if you want more, its best to increase the icing quantity. This icing uses dark chocolate and the higher the quality of the chocolate used, the richer this frosting is. I used dark chocolate and the taste was absolutely divine!
Royal icing - I used royal icing for the flowers on the cake (the ones in blue and white). The truth is, I had quite a number of these flowers on hand from my other project and decided to use them here. It is perfectly fine to use buttercream for these flowers. They would work just fine. I have a separate page written on how to pipe these simple flowers in buttercream and so will not be talking about how to make them here. Please click here to read on how to pipe these flowers.
Buttercream - I used buttercream for the leaves. Again, I had balance of this green buttercream from my another cake project, so the choice of using royal icing for the flowers and buttercream for the leaves was purely a matter of convenience for me.
I started with the basics - leveled the cakes. I had 3 layers of cake for this project.
Next was the filling. I filled each layer with a thin layer of the chocolate icing and stacked the cakes. In doing this, I made sure the cakes are all stacked upright in as straight line as possible.
Once the cakes were all stacked, I coated the rest of the cake with the remaining icing. I started with the sides and then the top. At this stage, the icing need not be smooth, suffice if it is evenly coated.
And then, using the back of a teaspoon, I created a small dent on the cake. To do this, press the back of the spoon lightly into the icing (not too hard as we dont want to scrap the icing off the cake) and then scoop the icing upwards, moving the spoon away from the cake.
Here is how the first scoop looked like.
I continued with the rest of the cake, until the whole cake was filled with 'dents' and 'spikes'. Once you get the hang of it, this should be quite fast.
And then, I decorated the cake with the royal icing flowers. I simply placed the flowers on the cake where I wanted them to be, and finished off with some buttercream leaves. And that's was it, one of my easy chocolate cake ideas.
Hope you enjoyed this easy chocolate cake decoration idea.

UEFA Europa League - 1995/96: Klinsmann sparks Bayern triumph - News
1995/96: Klinsmann sparks Bayern triumph
FC Bayern München completed their set of European trophies with Jürgen Klinsmann scoring for a record 15th time in a UEFA Cup season in the second leg of the final to secure victory against FC Girondins de Bordeaux.
Article top media content
1995/96: Klinsmann sparks Bayern triumph ©UEFA.com
FC Bayern München 2-0 FC Girondins de Bordeaux
(Helmer 34, Scholl 60)
FC Girondins de Bordeaux 1-3 FC Bayern München
(Dutuel 76; Scholl 53, Kostadinov 65, Klinsmann 78)
(agg: 5-1 to Bayern)
Serie A's stranglehold on the UEFA Cup was broken in 1996; and it was FC Bayern München who did the damage. Bayern beat FC Girondins de Bordeaux to become only the third side after Juventus and AFC Ajax to lift all three European trophies.
However, Bordeaux were just as influential in ending the Italian hegemony. In a game voted France Football magazine's match of the year, they overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat AC Milan 3-0 in their quarter-final second leg at Parc Lescure. For a side that had come through the newly-intorduced UEFA Intertoto Cup the previous summer – the only team who would ever progress to the UEFA Cup final via that route – it was a remarkable achievement. But while SK Slavia Praha would go the way of Milan (plus Karlsruhe SC, FK Vardar, SC Rotor Volgograd and Real Betis Balompié) in the semi-finals, Bordeaux's long campaign had to catch up with them.
Bayern's season, meanwhile, had been marred by a public row between star players Lothar Matthäus and Jürgen Klinsmann. Yet this did not stop Matthäus leading the team to a 2-1 victory at FC Barcelona in the last four after a 2-2 draw in Munich; nor prevent Klinsmann scoring a record 15 goals in the competition. The last of them came at Bordeaux in the final second leg. Bayern won 3-1 despite the presence in the home ranks of Christophe Dugarry and Zinédine Zidane. Crucially, though, the latter pair had missed the first leg at the Olympiastadion, notable for strikes by Thomas Helmer and Mehmet Scholl for Franz Beckenbauer's side.

Golf instructor Rich Jones honored with 2020 PGA Player Development Award

By Jeff Williams jeff.williams@newsday.com Updated January 8, 2021 5:29 PM
Ever since Rich Jones joined the Met Section of the PGA 17 years ago, he has focused on developing the game of golf across all strata of society, and particularly with juniors.
The director of instruction at the Pine Ridge Golf Club in Coram and at Golf Galaxy in Bay Shore, Jones figures that more than 3,000 juniors have come through his programs over the years and that golf has made them the better for it.
For all the work he has put in to growing the game, Jones has been honored with the 2020 PGA Player Development Award from the PGA of America.
"I always try to relate golf and life skills," said Jones of his work with junior players. "Perseverance, good sportsmanship, judgment, these are things that are life lessons that will really help the juniors on a regular basis. Perseverance, you aren't always going to get it right on the golf course, so perseverance, to keep trying, that helps them in life when things go wrong. Always try to relate golf lessons with life lessens and perseverance is one of those big ones.
"Integrity is a pretty big one. When no one is around, golf is one of those sports that you police yourself and you make decisions when no one is policing you. There's a lot of lessons there. Perseverance and integrity are the main things that really help the juniors."
Jones operates the Jones Golf Academy at various sites around Long Island, conducting his Little Linksters program at Pine Ridge and Gull Haven, a Town of Islip nine-hole course. Children as young as five can be introduced to the game.
Through the Town of Islip, and based on the idea of friend Alex Lopez, Jones conducts the golf instruction portion of the Par Fore program which specifically targets combating youth gang activity.
"Most of the kids come from the Central Islip area, the Brentwood area," Jones said. "The cool thing about the Par Fore program is that each participant is partnered up with a student at Stony Brook and will be mentored by one of these students. Myself and the Jones Golf Academy would provide instruction."
Jones has been heavily involved in the Met Section, and is on the board of directors.
"At the moment Rich's feet hit the ground he was involved on the junior golf front," said Kelli Clayton, the Met Section Foundation director.
He was really heavily involved in the First Tee at Eisenhower Park and I think that's where he got the development bug. He's done so much. He's a Top 50 U.S. Kids teacher, he served as a leader in our section, has served on our board of directors and recently was appointed as our Foundation Committee Chairman. He's been a junior league captain in our section, he's worked in our Golf in Schools program."
Jones' teaching crosses all spectra.
"When I initially started out in the business my focus was junior golf because there was a need to provide access for junior golf," said Jones who added that his broad reach is made possible by a dedicated staff. "So I dedicated most of my teaching toward juniors. Then it elevated to adult golfers and also golfers with disabilities. And some really strong players, juniors who are now young adults who evolved into some really good players, playing collegiate golf."
Jones, 50, and a pro since 1998, says he's a product of three islands.
"I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, went to college on Staten Island and moved to Long Island in 1993," said Jones, whose presence here has been felt ever since.

OK, we've all heard it: You should never EVER wear your race shirt to run the race.
OK, we've seen it: People toeing the line at a race wearing the race shirt they received for that race.
Who is right? Who is wrong? Both? Neither?
Con. If everyone wears the same shirt, you will never be able to pick your running buddies out in the crowd. You may not realize it yet, but if you run enough races, there is nothing better than randomly finding your running buddies mid-race and getting to run with them. The same goes for your family and friends being able to find you in the crowd to cheer you on.
Pro. Many race directors are putting greater effort into the designs of race shirts, many of which are race quality, so why not run them?
Con. No! Why would you do that? No, no way, no how. You just don't do it. At least not at the race itself.
Pro. Many 5k walks and fun runs encourage participants to wear the event shirt (plus it looks cool when everyone does), so why not?
Con. Short sleeve/long sleeve, just because the event picks a shirt type/length for the race premium does not mean that it is suitable for the race day weather conditions. You are better off planning your race outfit in advance regardless of what premium you will receive at the expo.
Pro. If I'm not wearing a costume for a race, why should I settle for a mono-chromatic tech training shirt when I can wear a cool event shirt?
Con. If you should never wear anything new on race day, why would you wear a shirt that you just received the day before at the race expo? Plus you haven't washed it yet.
Pro. Who cares, I'll trust that its clean, plus I am just going to sweat in it anyway.
Con. Not all tech fabrics are created equal. The last thing you want to do is bank on wearing the race shirt only to find out that it is of a terrible quality (and yes, it does happen, more than you may think). So its better to have a shirt (and a backup shirt in case of warmer or colder weather than you expected) that you know works for you.
Pro. Wearing the event shirt makes for cooler race pictures. Mic Dropped.
Alright, I see we are not going to come to an agreement on this one. So how about we agree to disagree and let everyone be happy running the race in whatever they want?
In the interests of full disclosure, I am in the camp of Casual Runners who do not wear event shirts to run the races. In fact, the only exception to this was when I ran the 2015 runDisney Dopey Challenge, as the morning of Pluto's 5k was soooooo very cold that I needed to wear the event T-shirt to add an extra layer (even though it was, cotton! For shame! A cotton race shirt? Come on runDisney!).
I guess, that, for me, the reason I come down in the "don't wear the event shirt" camp is superstition: just like hockey players don't touch the Stanley Cup for fearing of jinxing themselves, I won't wear the race shirt until I actually finish the race. I mean, why would I ever want to tempt fate? But hey, this is what works for me. You have to decide what works for you.


Parallel vorticity formulation for calculating lift and drag on bluff bodies in a free stream D. G. Tipton1, M. S. Ingber1 & M. J. Brown2 1Engineering Sciences Center, Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico, USA 2Department of mechanical Engineering, University of New Mexico, USA ABSTRACT: A parallel vorticity code is developed to study flows over bluff bodies in a free stream. The vorticity method has certain advantages over primitive variable methods for incompressible flows including a reduced equation set through the elimination of the pressure variable. However, because pressure is eliminated, the calculation of aerodynamic coefficients such as lift and drag must be performed in postprocessing. In the current research, an efficient method for recovering the pressure field locally on a body in a free stream is developed. In order to analyze large wake regions, a parallel implementation of the vorticity code is developed. The vorticity code is based on a three-step algorithm. The first step involves determining vortex sheet strengths on the surface of the body which yields Neumann boundary conditions for the vorticity equation. The second step involves determining the interior velocity field using the generalized Helmholtz decomposition representing the flow kinematics. The third step involves solving the vorticity equation. Each step requires a separate parallel strategy. The parallel efficiency of the overall algorithm is evaluated by considering the benchmark problem of flow over a cylinder.
