Q: OpenCV 2.4.7 conflict with Qt 4.8.1 QImage Ubuntu 12.04, Qt 4.8, OpenCv 2.4.3, PCL 1.6. Developing all via Qt Creator 2.5.2. All in 64 bits version.
I din't faced this issue until now, due to the fact I was dealing with image files in disk via "cv::imread(filename)" and then transferring its data to QImage -> QPixmap -> QLabel. NO problem with that.
Now, I need to load some images into Qt resource files. I created the proper .qrc via Qt Creator, and copied and registered image files in it. Well, If I try to load images from resources, it doesn't work:
QImage qi = QImage(":images/red.jpg");
if (qi.isNull())
{
QMessageBox::warning(this,"hey","hey");
}

Of course, at beginning I was struggling with resource names for an entire day. Until I decided to start other project, and copypasted the resource file, and the code that loads that QImage. In the test project, It works OK. (same computer, same IDE & Environment, but no OpenCV linking).
Seeing this, I decided to try this piece of code:
QString fn = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,"Load image");
qi = QImage(fn);
if (qi.isNull())
{
QMessageBox::warning(this,"hey","hey");
}

In original code, this doesn't work! fn is loaded with right filename, but "qi = QImage(fn);" fails. In the Test program, this works as expected.
This is a big problem, because I want to set some icons in windows, and some images for several widgets and QSplashScreen. It's not very acceptable to copy image files into generated binaries folders and load them, assuming user will do nothing with them...
I must point again, that this is NOT a issue with Qt resource filename.
Is there some workaround or idea about this?
PD: I tried QPixmap(":images/red.jpg"); but program fails execution.
PD: Some project settings:
ResFiles.qrc:
<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>images/red.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

A workaround I've thought is to load these images with some QFile class and "transfer" it to QImage. Can this be done?

A: I've solved this question this way:
//This WON'T WORK due to problems caused by presence of OpenCV library; it interferes with normal QImage loading from QResources
/*
QImage logoImage(":/images/Logo.png");
*/
//Read file rawly into RAM (workaround to OpenCV/QImage issue)
bool isImageInRAM = false;
QFile       file(":/images/Logo.png"); //Apparently there's no difference between ":/images/QOPLogo.png" and ":images/Logo.png"
QByteArray  rawImageFileInRAM;
if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
{
    rawImageFileInRAM = file.readAll();
    file.close();
    isImageInRAM = true;
}
else
    checkFailed(0,QObject::tr("Error loading image from resource: %1").arg(QObject::tr("Logo"))); //checkFailed is a custom method that shows message errors

//This WON'T WORK due to problems caused by presence of OpenCV library; it interferes with normal QImage loading from memory (yes, too U_U)
/*
QImage logoImage = QImage::fromData(rawImageFileInRAM);
*/
std::vector<uchar> buffInRAM(rawImageFileInRAM.data(),rawImageFileInRAM.data()+rawImageFileInRAM.size());
cv::Mat imgMatFromRAM = cv::imdecode(cv::Mat(buffInRAM),CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);
cv::Mat cvRGBLogoImage(imgMatFromRAM.rows,imgMatFromRAM.cols,CV_8UC3);
cv::cvtColor(imgMatFromRAM,cvRGBLogoImage,CV_BGR2RGB); //Convert BGR->RGB
QImage logoImage((const unsigned char*)cvRGBLogoImage.data,cvRGBLogoImage.cols,cvRGBLogoImage.rows,cvRGBLogoImage.step,QImage::Format_RGB888);

//At this point logoImage already has image from resources ¡Yeaahhhh!!

Brad Carlile
Press Release: Brad Carlile's "Tempus Incognitus" at De Santos Gallery - solo show in Houston Texas June 2010
Brad Carlile Interview in Houston Chronicle
"Photographer Brad Carlile sheds new light on hotel rooms", print & online interview, Houston Chronicle June 9, 2010.
Brad Carlile's "Tempus Incognitus" at De Santos Gallery
Contact: Gemma de Santos, De Santos Gallery
info@desantosgallery.com
HOUSTON, TX – The De Santos Gallery is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition by photographer Brad Carlile. The show will open June 5th and close July 24th, with an opening reception for the artist on Saturday, June 5th, from 5:30-8pm. This will be Carlile's first solo exhibition in Houston.
Brad Carlile's large-scale color photographs from the series "Tempus Incognitus" depict hotel rooms in which time and space fade into one another and any sense of time is lost. These works challenge our intuition about time itself and pique our curiosity about the stories held within those walls. When asked to describe this new body of work, Carlile says, "Think Edward Hopper interiors awash in James Turrell colors with David Lynch directing.
"Tempus Incognitus" records the day's transitional times and shows them existing concurrently. The Cubists painted individual scenes from several different perspectives at once. In this series, Carlile photographs individual rooms at several different times of day from a single perspective.
In traditional photography, change or movement is rendered as a blur and detail is lost, but Carlile uses a time-intensive technique that captures detail and emphasizes change in vivid colors. He shoots with a medium-format camera and prints on a large scale to enhance the impact of the colors, which are created in camera and on film with no digital manipulation.
Brad Carlile is most recently a winner of the prestigious Hearst Biennial in New York City. In the past 2 years, his photographs have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as in a solo show at Galerie Maurer in Munich, Germany. Since 2003 Carlile has won 11 photographic awards and been included in 52 shows at museums and galleries in Austria, France, Qatar, China, and the United States. The artist splits his time between Portland, Oregon and Manhattan, where he lives with his wife, photographer Andrea Wolff.
For further information, or for press inquiries, please contact Gemma De Santos at the De Santos Gallery.

Stream SZA's 'Ctrl' Album Featuring Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott and More
Lindsey India
After a long wait for her fans, SZA releases her highly-anticipated Ctrl album, which is now available on all streaming platforms and iTunes. The new project contains 14 total tracks, with features from a slew of major names in the music game.
Fans are already familiar with the Travi$ Scott-featured favorite, "Love Galore," which saw a raunchy music video featuring the two back in April, as well as the self-love anthem. Listeners will also be excited to see her TDE brothers Kendrick Lamar and Isaiah Rashad featured on the LP, as well as songwriter James Flaunteroy, who laces his vocals over the "Wavy" interlude.
The album title, Ctrl, comes from SZA letting go of the idea of having control of every aspect of her life and living in the present moment. The project is full of love and heartbreak bangers, with lyrics we're sure the ladies will include in Instagram captions throughout the summer season.
Meanwhile, the rest of TDE is scheduling a packed 2017 following the success of Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. album. Fans are already anticipating a ScHoolboy Q album to come, as the rapper said that it may be coming out after the release of SZA's project.
Stream SZA's Ctrl album in full below via Spotify to see if it was worth the wait.

Photo Imaging Council statement
The UK photo industry has issued its response to the EU's decision to place an import duty on some digital compact cameras.rnrnrn
The UK photo industry has issued its response to the EU's decision to place an import duty on some digital compact cameras.
In a press statement the Photo Imaging Council (PIC) said:
'Photo Imaging Council members are actively assessing the implications of the proposal to classify certain types of digital camera as camcorders. The reclassification will mean they will now attract customs duty of 4.9%.
'The European Commission's Nomenclature Committee meeting in Brussels last Friday recommended the proposal in an Explanatory Note directing that a camera using the maximum storage capacity, capable of recording at least 30 minutes of a single sequential video recording, with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels or higher at 23 frames per second or higher, will be classified as a video camera recorder under code 8525 80 91 – and therefore attract duty.
'If the camera does not meet these criteria, it will be classified as a digital camera under code 8525 80 30 and will not attract duty.
'The Explanatory Note did not achieve the required Qualified majority vote. However, under the Commission's rules of procedure, the proposal is likely to be adopted, and published in due course in the Official Journal.'
The statement added: 'The first reaction of PIC members to the Commission?s ruling is that the recommended proposal will have a minimal effect on current product ranges. However, it may affect future products and product development. PIC is discussing with members how the proposal will effect pricing, if at all, of products in their ranges.
'PIC members? responses will also be fed into the European Photo Industry Association and the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) in Tokyo whose representatives plan to fly to Europe for lobbying purposes before the end of this month.'

thanks for buying :) come again anytime!
Did not contact me prior to leaving neutral and seems to leave mostly o or - for sellers.
Wonderful buyer, immediate payment! Don't be discouraged by neg! Thanks again and enjoy your authentic Louboutins!
Very difficult to get in contact with. Not worth the sale for the work put in to tracking them down.
Amazing Buyer Thank you so much!
Easy and pleasant transaction! Thanks so much!
Attempted to contact buyer re: payment, buyer never paid. no contact at all. Don't buy if you don't plan on paying!
NEW NWT DVF DIANE VON FURSTENBERG LINNIE DRESS 6 $325!!
Did not pay or even try to communicate. Would have worked with her.
made an offer on an item. 30% less than asking price. I accepted and was never paid and when I contacted buyer they made excuses to drag this transaction on and on. Worst transaction I have ever had on any selling venue!

                            const_cast<LPWSTR>(std::wstring(fullArgs.begin(), fullArgs.end()).c_str()),
                            nullptr,
                            nullptr,
                            TRUE,
                            _createNewConsole ? CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE : 0,
                            nullptr,
                            std::wstring(_path.begin(), _path.end()).c_str(),
                            &siStartInfo,
                            &piProcInfo);

But when I do that Git returns me the following error message:
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'XXXX': Permission denied

However since I created the folder myself I'm not sure what is the issue
Folder perms are the following:
drwxr-xr-x

Any idea how to solve that?

A: Try with

chmod -R 777 yourfolder


10 years have passed since the last live show from Godflesh in Detroit; we were starting to think we may be cursed to never see them set foot onstage again, with previous booked gigs getting canceled at the last minute. But, here we are at the El Club in Detroit for the return of the grindcore/industrial masters, Godflesh. The venue opens at 8:00pm with a patio that opens at 7:00pm; by 8:00pm, the patio is already heavily populated with hungry fans looking to experience the mechanical and physical onslaught and heaviness that only Godflesh can deliver. Local DJ Marc Church kept the crowd entertained, as well as local electronic group Fluxion A/D.
Word gets around that the band has been delayed at the border; Godflesh played in Toronto the night before and was traveling from Canada to the States. With that, we are all wondering if this night will get canceled like the previous shows. Will they get through in time for the show? How late will they be? Will they get here at all?
But back to the club – the event was billed as an "all ages" night, meaning that the proceedings have to end around 11:30pm for the kids under the age of 18 to get home per Detroit city curfew. The crowd is anxious as the opening band goes on a bit late, not knowing that Godflesh had been held up at customs. Finally, there is a good sign! People on the patio see Justin K. Broadrick, G.C. Green, and the crew walk into the venue – at long last, Godflesh is in the building! The band set up onstage, got the video set up on the house projector, did a quick soundcheck by adjusting the amps and effects pedals.
Then… Godflesh takes to the stage!


This color is one of my most favorites of the glitter here... I would say it's more of a turquoise blue and when the sun hits it, it POPS like you wouldn't believe, it almost seems like it's glowing! It's just Gorgeous and THIS is a staple color in my collection. Enjoy!

For founders of new college of computing, the human element is paramount

The new MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing is destined to become a major center of artificial intelligence research. But a public conversation between the college's founders on Thursday helped illuminate the very human impulses guiding it.
"It's a remarkable expression of the human spirit that you have here," said Stephen A. Schwarzman during a dialogue with MIT President L. Rafael Reif at MIT's Kresge Auditorium.
Schwarzman is the principal benefactor of the college, which is intended to drive forward research in computing and artificial intelligence, and link computing to every other discipline at the Institute. Its formation represents the biggest change to MIT's institutional structure since the 1950s. Schwarzman has delivered a $350 million gift to the Institute, as part of the roughly $1 billion college.
To help launch the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, MIT held a three-day celebration this week, with dozens of speakers appearing from Tuesday to Thursday, among other campus events.
"Anybody from MIT who takes what you do for granted, it's just that you've been here too long," Schwarzman added. "Every speaker is like magic."
To an extent, Schwarzman said, the impulse behind the founding of the college came from trips he had taken to China, where he observed intensified Chinese investment in artificial intelligence, and wanted to make sure the U.S. was also on the leading edge of A.I.
"What I was interested in was taking U.S. competitiveness and really punching it up," said Schwartzman.
And as Schwarzman and Reif recounted, the college's origins stemmed in part from something eternally human as well: an ongoing series of conversations between them about how to increase the tempo of computing advances. After their initial discussion, Schwarzman said, he encouraged MIT to think bigger about the possible scope of the project.
As Reif noted, he knew that faculty and staff were increasingly emphasizing a need for researchers to be "bilingual," in terms of knowing their own disciplines, and understanding how computing could help that disciplinary research.
Moreover, Reif added, while China is very strong in certain applied areas of artificial intelligence, he understood that the U.S. has unrivaled strengths in education and research, making the idea of a new computing college at MIT all the more likely to succeed.
Referring to the U.S., Reif said, "We are extremely strong in human capital in this space. Let's just invest in ourselves and see what happens."
Thursday afternoon's events also included an onstage conversation about artificial intelligence between former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and columnist Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times.
Kissinger expressed general concern about the potentially unpredictable consequences of artificial intelligence, extending a point he raised in an essay in The Atlantic last summer.
"Working in this field is a tremendous responsibility and a tremendous challenge," Kissinger said.
For his part, Friedman, mostly serving as an interlocutor, suggested that these advanced technologies mean humans "have never been more Godlike" than they are now. He added that "at a minimum a simple golden rule" — of equitable ethical treatment among people — "is going to be essential" for society.
At the start of the session, Robert Millard, chair of the MIT Corporation, introduced Reif and Schwarzman while noting the significance of the new college's launch. Millard called Reif "an inspired leader who has in his tenure become the senior spokesman for higher education, in science and technology generally."
Schwarzman, Millard observed, has "accelerated MIT further into the future" with his support for the college.
One of the celebration's closing events was a panel called "Computing for the People: AI and Ethics." In his discussion with Reif, Schwzarman also offered his thoughts on the ethics and social impact of innovation.
The curriculum of the new college will include ethics, and, as Schwarzman noted, it will always be important to "have a focus on the workforce … [and] the people who get dislocated" by technology.
"The technology is going to affect the whole world, and we have to get it right," Schwarzman said.

The Sanctuary of Merciful and Eucharistic Love is located in Collevalenza a few kilometres from Todi.
It was built by architect Julio Lafuente (1951) and sanctioned by Mother Speranza, as a place where God's merciful love for those sinners who come back to him could be proclaimed and experienced.
The great temple, which is circular in shape, is formed by two large, sacred halls, the upper church and the crypt. The parts of the building are not designed separately, but rather as parts of a single architectural entity.
The inside of the Grande Chiesa church offers bright light, thanks to the space being proportionally divided by the large cylindrical walls, which open up towards the altar. The light comes from a huge concave glass window, on the façade, and from a cross-shaped skylight which unfolds along the roof, converging into a gap that symmetrically divides the apse. Chapels were placed on the sides so that visitors could cultivate their mercy privately. The church features many confessionals, both in the temple and in the crypt. The main altars are made from Pentelic marble, while the floors are Prodo marble.


Chasing The Dead – The Next Crime Fiction Best Seller?
Posted December 17, 2013 by backupwp & filed under Guest Post.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Advanced Readers Copy of Joel's latest Alex Stone novel, Chasing The Dead, a few weeks ago, and I've been mulling it over ever since. I feel a review coming upon me. I'd love to know what my fellow crime fiction fans think about it. And I thought it'd also be interesting to take a look at a couple more high profile fictional heroines involved in the often-murky, intricate, fascinating world of crime, the law, and justice.
We're lucky in Brighton, UK, where I live, to have a thriving, vibrant lesbian and gay community. Our city is famous UK-wide for its tolerance, acceptance and appreciation of people who are a bit different. Walk through the city centre any day of the week and you'll spot several men in dresses and at least as many trannies. So I'm not the least bit shocked or disturbed to discover a series of novels starring a lesbian public defence lawyer.
Who knows what the rest of the world thinks? But as far as I'm concerned, Alex is a winner. She's gruff, tough, resilient, driven and troubled, a blend of confidence and a lack of it, who makes an idiot of herself often enough to seem real. She's scruffy, as far from elegant and well-groomed as it gets, and she's truly, madly and deeply in love with her partner, the gorgeous Bonnie.
Alex loves and hates her job in equal measure, but at least she feels it. There's nothing less convincing than a perfect, un-flawed hero who approaches the worst in death, disaster, despair, cruelty and violence without so much as batting an eyelid. She hurts, she fucks up, she makes awful decisions, she gets in deep water, and she takes the consequences on the chin. She doesn't always make friends in the process, but the friends she makes are loyal. And now and again, she kills.
This time around Alex finds herself in terrible trouble, accused or cold-blooded murder, squeezed between a vengeful cop, a dirty judge and a particularly poignant murder, desperate to protect her lover but desperately out of her depth. I love the way Joel has developed her character so fluently in such a short space of time – this is, after all, only the second in the series. And I particularly love the last few lines, which left me hanging, forced to wait for the next instalment but not sure I could stand the delay. That's the way to do it!
As far as I'm concerned it has all the ingredients needed to become a genuine crime fiction best-seller. But what do other readers think? I went in search of reviews of Chasing The Dead, and this is what I found.
"Chasing the Dead" by Joel Goldman is a solid mystery thriller in the stripped down, built-for speed James Patterson mold. Set among Kansas City's prostitutes, homeless and all-powerful, this the second of Goldman's "Alex Stone" series. The first volume, "Stone Cold" became an international best seller and garnered the author some good reviews and award nominations.
I think it's a bad idea to come to a series in it's sophomore outing because the characters were probably more completely developed, warts and all, when they were introduced in the first book. Goldman may assume we are familiar with the characters' quirks and foibles and – aiming at that stripped down, James Patterson model – felt there is no need to restate that information here. I haven't read the first novel and so have to make my judgment/recommendation on what's before me. Although competent, professional, and graced with an insight into the legal system that only a practicing lawyer can give, "Chasing the Dead" struck me as a bit flat.
What about similar crime fiction books with female heroines?
If you like Kathy Reichs' female character Temperance Brennan, you'll love Alex Stone. As it says on Amazon: "Fans of TV's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation should be in heaven, stepping into the world of forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, star of Kathy Reichs' electrifyingly authentic bestsellers." If you've seen the TV series Bones, which is based on the novels, you'll know all about her.
Mark my words, she's a seriously scary lady. I, for one, would not trifle with her. Similar to Alex Stone, she'd make an exceptional friend but a formidable foe.
If, like me, you feel Crais' work has a cinematic quality, it's probably because that's where he cut his crime fiction teeth. He has written scripts for major television crime series including Cagney & Lacey and Miami Vice, and won an Emmy nomination for his work on Hill Street Blues. I get the same clarity of vision from the Alex Stone novels, which I reckon would make really good telly.
Who is your favourite crime novel heroine?
Who's your best-loved crime novel heroine, and why? If you haven't added Alex Stone to your stable yet, give her a go and let us know what you think. As far as I'm concerned, you've got a real treat in store.
Chasing the gold looks like a great book. I wonder if they have it in audio version?


"You've got a visitor," one of the guards of the prison said, opening the door so that a cloaked person could enter. Prisoner 11234, formerly Sergeant Slick, first thought it was a jetii coming to interrogate him. The cloak was one of a Jedi. He couldn't see who it was since the hood was covering their face. He wasn't concerned, he laid back onto the cot and sneered at the figure.
"Come to try and get more info, aruetii," he said venomously. They didn't answer. They gestured for the guard to leave them.
"You sure you don't want to do this in the interrogation room," he asked halfway out the door. They nodded and guard left them alone with a shrug. The Jedi slowly turned to face him.
"You betrayed me," was all his visitor whispered. They stared at each other and as his brain recognized the voice, his heart started to sting at her words. Slick twisted in his bed so that he was sitting on the edge.
"You betrayed us to the droids," she accused. He had nothing to say to that. Her lips trembled as she asked him why. He didn't answer. He just stared up at her.
The cloak fell away and Slick's heart followed it down. It wasn't a jetii. It was a woman.
A woman with fiery red hair that curled around her ears with deep blue eyes like the bottom of an ocean floor.
"I did it for us," he said, staring her in the eyes as he said it. She shook her head at him, her eyes showing only disgust.
"You did it for yourself," she hissed.
Slick shot up from his spot then, towering over her by a full head and shoulders. How could she say that? She didn't know what he was thinking, she wasn't him! He did it for THEM! For their future!
His lips curled back into a snarled and he yelled," I DID IT FOR US!"
HOW COULD YOU DO IT FOR US," she screamed back," YOU PUT MY SISTERS, YOUR BROTHERS, AND ME IN DANGER! WE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED BY THE DROIDS!"
"WE WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER OF WITH THE DROIDS! WE...ARE IN...A SLAVE ARMY," he roared," I AM SICK OF THIS SHABLA REPUBLIC AND ITS DIRTY ROTTEN CORE! THEY SAY THEY FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND ALL THAT OSIK! BUT THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND CREATE US! NO FREEDOM OF OUR OWN JUST TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK WHILE THEY SIT IN THEIR OFFICES AND FEED OFF OF OUR WORK LIKE PARASITES! THIS DAR'YAM REPUBLIC SHOULD NEVER HAVE STARTED IF THIS IS ITS BEST!"
The girl went quiet, but Slick could see her hatred and violence in her eyes as they turned them a hot, glowing orange-red.
"Then I wouldn't have been made...and neither would you," she said heatedly.
"It'd be better if we weren't," he shot back. She stiffened.
"Traycen," he said, softening considerably and reached out his hands," I would never betray you. The Republic, yes. The jetii, in a heartbeat...but never you." She glared at him and turned away, putting her head in her hands. Her hands slid back over her head and she grabbed the ends as she looked to the ceiling. Fierfek, she couldn't do this. She wanted to come and talk some sense into his head but now that she was here she couldn't get any of her thoughts straight. They just tossed around and didn't make any sense.
"Traycen," he asked and put a hand on her shoulder, but she jerked her shoulder away.
"I don't need you touching me. I don't need you looking at me. Osik! I WISH I DIDN'T LOVE YOU, YOU CHAAKARE," she screamed as she turned to him. She took a deep breath to try and soothe herself but found out it was failing miserably.
Slick was giving her a look, a look that wanted answers, then a look of recognition.
"Beat me," he said. A moment of silence and stillness passed before Slick suddenly stripped out of the top of his body suit. Traycen stared at his bare torso for a while before stepping back and shaking her head. But Slick followed her.
"Beat me...I can see it in your eyes. Your angry, too. Not at me...at the Republic and their chains around us. You can see them and your angry about them. You have no one to take it out on. You'll snap soon," he said calmly. She stared at him some more, looking at him as if he was crazy. He came closer to her so that he had her pressed up against the wall and trapped her with his hands on both sides of her head. He made her hold his gaze as he looked her dead in the eyes.
"What will happen," he whispered quietly," When your sisters have no more use to the Republic."
Traycen went dead white at the question and felt her anger immediately rise to the surface with a vengeance. He knew how to hit her buttons. How DARE he use her sisters. Her knee came up without her head thinking and Slick fell to floor clutching himself. Traycen was on him immediately.
She let it all out on him then: her frustrations, her worries, her fears, her disgust. He was right. The Republic would probably kill them off when the war ended. They knew all the top secret information and once they were told, they'd always be a weak link. It was always bugging her, eating at her mind, never giving her any peace. Punch after punch landed on Slick, even when he fell back onto the floor the punches rained down on his figure though not as gentle as rain. When he recovered from her knee, Slick was up and fighting her back. He grabbed a hold of her hands when she tried to punch again and wrestled against her. Strength and speed were on his side, but Traycen wasn't far behind. Not only did they wrestle, they punched and bit and used every dirty trick that they knew, all to let off steam that had been building in them for years with nothing to take it out on. Both soon ran out of energy and stopped. Traycen laid against the cool wall, sweating and more than a little bruised. She looked up to Slick, and saw what not thinking could do.
"Feel better," he gasped. Traycen gaped at what she had done and looked down to her hands. The knuckles were red and cracked and the rest of her body showed no such brutality.
He had gone easy on her.
"I'm sorry," she breathed crawling over to him and taking his face in her hands," I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She waved her hand over his eye and watched as the bruise disappeared. She went to his other scrapes and bruises, some taking more than just a few waves of her hand. Traycen was part of Miya's batch, and came out with a minor skill of healing just not as strong as her sister. When she was done, Slick rolled his head around and stood up. But when he took a step towards her, she shoved her hand out.
"Stay. Away," she said," I don't need you to convince me to do anything anymore di'kulta than that." Slick peered at her eyes and his lips quivered.
"You feel better though," he said, losing his battle and grinned triumphantly at her. She glared at him. He was right. She DID feel better after pounding the osik out of him. Her hand stayed outstretched to keep him away. But he stepped up and took it gently, pulling it to his face and cupped his hand against it. She jerked her arm back sharply, but he had a good grip on her.
He always turned her into molten lava the second he touched her.
When she heard he had betrayed them, like any girl with a cyar'ika, she couldn't wrap her mind around it and defended him. Slick loved his brothers! He wouldn't do anything to get more of them killed! But then she had seen as they took him to the brig and she knew it was true. The image had been in her head for a while. From it, another image was born. One of his execution. Oh, yes. Traitors always got executed. She could see him perfectly clear when the time came. His back ramrod straight, head held high, and his hardened eyes glaring defiantly into the blasters until the end. Traycen's eyes shut and her breathing hitched when that image came.
But Slick wouldn't let her think about it.
His mouth just brushed against her fingertips, just barley a touch of his lips. Warm breath swirled around her fingers as he breathed against her hand. Then, he kissed her palm as if he was kissing her mouth. He held her spread fingers against his cheek as kissed it. It tickled slightly but also sent jolts through her arm, making her bite her lip.
He stepped closer, trailing his lips up her arm to her shoulder. She felt him, unable to move, breath in her scent at her neck. He was so close...she could feel his eyelashes against her skin. The warm heat of his mouth moved to her throat, upwards to her chin, then back down to her throat just above her collar bone. She suddenly remembered that he had no shirt on. Traycen's eyes fluttered shut as she felt the warmth of his flesh. Shudders went up her spine and she gently touched the bared skin. Years of tough training had made his abs rock solid and very tight, he had scars that weren't from their fight, and his skin, tanned and beautiful, was stretched tightly over his muscles.
"My little Traycen," he murmured against her throat, making her shiver," My beautiful little Traycen."
His hand replaced his mouth.
Traycen felt herself freeze and her eyes snap open. So this was his plan...he was going to kill her. Crush her neck or squeeze until she couldn't breath. Or he'd hold her hostage so he could leave. She swallowed loudly and shut her eyes. She couldn't fight him. She couldn't kill him. Anyone else would have already been torn apart...but this was Slick. Like before and for the future (if she lived to see it), she couldn't do anything. Slick felt her swallow against his palm and knew immediately where her thoughts were.
"You think I'm going to kill you," he said. Her eyes opened and stared into his, unblinking and answering.
"Take...my hand off...your throat," he whispered. Her hand came up slowly and touched his fingers. She watched his face as she easily pried his finger off and intwine them together as she brought his hand down. Slick's free hand took hold of a stray lock.
"I could never hurt you, Traycen," he murmured," You made me see."
"See what," she asked. His eyes, as always, stared right into hers.
Her eyes shut and she gulped against the tears that wanted to come, but never did.
"They're going to execute you," she said with a heavy heart.
"I know," he said, finally looking away from her and down casting his eyes. She looked away from him and clenched her jaw tight. The image came to the forefront of her mind again except this time, the deed had been done. Burn marks right in the chest and his eyes staring open skyward. Traycen's chest squeezed even harder and her stomach dropped. She couldn't bear to see that image come true. She'd die along with him. She didn't want him to go so she might never see him again...but better away and alive than for her to be staring down at his corpse.
"I can't let them," she said. Slick said nothing, but his eyebrows creased slightly and his eyes went back to her face. Traycen stepped away from him and went to the door. She looked around carefully and for a long time before picking up her cloak and flinging it around Slick, and hauling him out the door. They were lucky that almost everyone was in the mess right then. She brought him to a vent that was a little ways from her own room in the female's part of the quarters.
"We used to use it to go outside," she whispered as she removed the metal and set it down quietly to the side. Slick peered in. He couldn't see a thing in front of him. He stepped inside warily. It was a big opening, but small enough that Slick had to stoop to get in comfortably. Once Traycen was sure he'd fit and would be able to get to the outside safely, she stepped back and leaned down to take a hold of the vent to put it back into place. Slick's head whipped around to stare at her.
"She's not coming," he thought and a pressure was put on his chest," I'll never see her again..."
That would not do. She was the reason he betrayed the Republic...and she was going to be the reason why he'd walk out of this tunnel.
He quickly walked back to the entrance before she could put the vent back in place and grabbed her arm.
"Come with me," he urged. Traycen sighed. She should've known. She gave a few experimental tugs, but as she thought, he didn't let go. Slick...didn't let anything go easily and it looked like she was included.
"Slick, I can't...my sisters are...," she said now struggling to make him let go.
But he wouldn't need to find out. A glint caught his eye and drew it to something behind her.
"I won't leave you here...as a traitor," he said calmly. Traycen looked at him sharply. He pointed to the object just past her head. She turned, not letting her guard down or her grip go. Her eyes looked around the hall trying to find what he was pointing at and when she did it took her a while to figure out what it was.
Traycen felt her knees suddenly become weak as she stared into the camera's lenses. She couldn't go back. Not now. She couldn't go back to her sisters. They'd all know that she was a traitor. She'd be shot.
Slick shut his eyes and willed himself not to feel sick. He had wanted it to come out differently for Traycen...not like this. Now she'd be just as hunted as he was. If that camera wasn't there and they'd left, then everyone would probably think that he'd kidnapped her and wouldn't harm her if they found them.
"But," he thought to himself, his eyes flashing open to stare at her in determination," If this is what it takes...then I'll take it."
"Come with me," Slick said again aloud," I don't want you to die in my place."
She met his eyes. They both knew they'll never be able to come back unless they wanted to be shot. He looked at her with such sad pleading eyes, she felt her heart ache. What had she to lose? Yes, she'd miss her sisters.
A lone patrol of trooper walked the streets of Courascant, making sure all was well. Usually the only thing that they did on this job was taking down petty criminals and the like. But tonight had them on edge since it seemed to be as if everything was holding its breath around them and making sure every where was dead quiet.
"Wait," one of the men said, holding up a hand. All immediately stopped, tensed up and ready for a fight, listening intently to hear what he was hearing. There did seem to be a small break in the air...but still there was no sound.
"You sure you weren't hearing things, vod," one of them asked gruffly when they all finally stopped listening,"Because if y-"
They were on the move before their minds could catch up to their bodies, instincts and training immediately making them zero in on the source and go into defensive positions around the source. The sergeant moved first into the mouth of the alley with his blaster aimed perfectly at the back of a cloaked man. His mouth opened to demand who he was but as soon as he saw them, all he could say was a soft,"Uhh..."
The man had a woman up against the wall of the alley way, their hoods concealing their faces but the small satisfied sounds coming from one's mouth made it...crystal clear that one was female. The build and height of the other could only be male.
The sergeant still hadn't lowered his gun and the rest of the squad also stared at the oblivious couple. The two grappled at each other, grabbing shoulders and necks to press themselves, somehow, closer to each other as they devoured the other's mouth. They broke away only a few times for breath but immediately resealed themselves.
The troopers watched on in longing, knowing that they were missing out on this for their own.
What would it be like, to have their own woman who loved them...and for her to show them this much passion.
The Sergeant of the squad licked his suddenly dried lips, silenced his helmet's audio projectors with an eye roll before telling the squad,"Move out...quietly."
The guns were lowered...but the men still didn't move. Their eyes, all their videos were fixed on the scene in front of them. Someone gulped. Someone else gave off a small whimper. The sergeant took his time to gather up enough composure to actually sound menacing.
This time, the squad did as they were told, moving away from the alley quietly as they could. The sergeant stayed for a little while longer, still staring at the couple. The passion had slowly started to die down, leaving only sweet kisses in their wake. Sweet enough to make his heart wrench as he finally tore his eyes away from the scene. But now it was embedded in his mind's eye. He was grateful for that at least. He could imagine himself in that position. See only his face beneath the hood trying to press his passions on the woman beneath his body, happily accepting his kisses and motions. Returning them with her own. A slow shudder went down his back and spine at the thought of a woman actually letting him kiss her. But he shook his head quickly, held it up high, and went off to rejoin his group.
He didn't see the man break away from the woman's lips and lift his face as he left.
He didn't see his own face from inside the hood.
The woman looked where her companion was looking and asked if they'd left.
"Yes," he said in a raspy voice, pushing back his hood as he started edging to the end of the alley and peered around the corner just to be safe. The soft thunk of their boots didn't deceive, already they were turning the next corner. But he stayed there until they all disappeared and still stared for after them for a while with his ears straining for any other noise. After all, Sergeant Slick had to be careful. When he could no longer hear the sound of their boots, he felt relief flood his system, though it did nothing to relax him. He knew better than to relax in enemy territory.
"Put that back on," his companion hissed, pulling his hood over his head again,"I don't want you to be taken from me again!"
The former sergeant chuckled and leaned down for a few quick kisses that brought protests, however weak.
"Come on! We have to keep moving."
"But maybe another squad comes along and finds us out? At least I'll give them a run for their credits by kissing you as we die," he said deadpanned both serious and humorous as well as flattering.
"Come on, Romeo," she said,"Lets go find a ship..."

Cash under your mattress? These days it's easy to feel like keeping our money at home—literally—may be the safest place for it. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, though, is making a global push to get money into savings accounts, and Pascaline Dupas and Jonathan Robinson have just finished a paper that makes the cleanest case yet for getting money out from under the mattress.
Their study focuses on a bank operating along the highway that connects Nairobi, Kenya to Kampala, Uganda. High fees, though, kept most people away. In 2006 and 2007, a research team offered to open accounts for a randomized sample of 122 men and women, paying all opening fees. The treatment group was compared to a randomly-selected control group of 81 men and women who did not get accounts. Dupas and Robinson (2008) find that access to the accounts had substantial positive impacts on investment for women, increasing average daily productive investment by about 40 percent. Average daily food expenditures rose by 13 to 28 percent, an increase consistent with the notion that higher investment levels led to higher income levels. Women with access to savings accounts also appeared better able to cope with health shocks. The positive findings emerge despite the fact that hefty fees for making withdrawals meant that the bank in accounts had de facto negative interest rates on savings. The evidence does not say that saving is more important than borrowing, but it does say that being able to save can matter substantially. No significant effects were found for men, though. Next study?

BRAINTREE FORUM
Convincing victory
Braintree football rolls past Framingham 47-30
Bob Whitney
Braintree's football squad opened the Bay State Conference season with a very convincing 47-30 road win over the Framingham Flyers (1-2) on Sept. 23.
The game was played at Framingham State University.
The win improved the Wamps to 2-1(1-0 BSC) and set up this week's road showdown with Newton North.
Braintree received a couple of amazing individual performances by junior running back Billy Silvia and senior quarterback Zach Harris.
Silvia, one of the Wamps most versatile and valuable players, had a strong overall game at linebacker, running back and as the Wamps special team kicker.
Silvia rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns to pace the offense. Silvia also had five PAT.
"(Billy) Silvia was awesome and was solid on defense," said Braintree's coach Brian Chamberlain.
Harris had another outstanding performance rushing for 117 yards. The senior also scored three touchdowns and passed for another (to Andrew Donahue).
"(Zach) Harris is Zach; we all know how explosive Harris is when he has the ball in his hands," said the coach. "He is a true triple threat – rushing, passing and on defense."
In addition to his offensive output Harris had a spectacular one-handed interception in the game.
Meanwhile, Chamberlain was particularly impressed with his offensive line which created some huge holes for Harris, Silvia and Company.
"The o-line was the key to our running game," the coach noted. "We had some big runs over 40-50 yards."
There was some concern going into the season that the offensive line would take some time to jell as a cohesive unit.
That initial concern appears to be a distance memory as the o-line paved the way for the Wamps punishing ground attack.
Chamberlain was pleased with his squad's defensive effort but believes they need to take it up a notch if they are to be successful against Newton North.
"Defensively, we created three more turnovers in our win over Framingham, which I liked," the coach said. "We do need to tighten a few things up in coverage. Offensively, we need to stop a rash of penalties.
Braintree will have little time to bask in the euphoria of their first BSC win as they must get down to business in preparation for a huge road game against the Newton North Tigers on Oct. 1.
The Tigers (0-3) have yet to win a contest. In their last outing they lost a tough 28-27 decision to the Needham Rockets.
Newton North is loaded with talent, particularly on the offensive side, which will provide a severe test for the Wamps defensive unit.
"Newton North is probably the best 0-3 team we will face all season," said Chamberlain. "They have some good athletes and challenging schemes to deal with. We'll need to eliminate our mistakes and have a great week of practice."
The Braintree versus Newton North kickoff is scheduled for Oct. 1 at 1 p.m.

In a world generally worried about violent extremism, it seems to be business as usual for at least some militant groups inside and around Pakistan. There are two kinds that exist—those who target the State, and others who are compliant with the State's broader strategic goals. However, the implications of both types are dangerous for the country. A glance at some of the terrorism data—none of which is available in Pakistan, where there is a serious shortage of data both in the public and private sector (at least, it is not publicly available)—indicates that the highest number of attacks took place in Baluchistan (35) and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province (including 34 in tribal areas, followed by five in Sindh and one in Punjab). Punjab seemed to be the safest province despite the presence of many militant extremist groups. The most violent attacks, including suicide attacks and targeted killing of Shias, were carried out by Islamic State (IS) and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). These two groups harbour a highly acidic sectarian bias, and are expansionist in their perspective.
Military operations, which started in 2014 and continued up to 2017, appear to have curbed the influence and capacity of a lot of terror groups, but the threat remains. This raises the fundamental question of whether it is possible at all to finish off IS and the TTP entirely without doing the same to other groups that the State is relatively comfortable with—a whole range including the Jammat-ud-Dawwa/Lashkar-e-Toiba (JuD/LeT) network, the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Ahle Sunnat-wal-Jamaat (ASWJ), which continue to exist in different shapes and forms. These groups have never really attacked the Pakistani state. However, could these be trusted given their kind of ideological framework, which has much in common with what the Al Qaeda and IS parrot?
While popular analyses break down militant groups into those fighting against India, especially in Kashmir, versus those that have a sectarian agenda, or others with a global agenda, such differences are sham. In fact, sectarian bias is part of the larger agenda that could get pushed back temporarily for tactical purposes.
Sectarian bias is part of the larger agenda of all militant groups, which could get pushed back only temporarily.
The real difference lies in the nature of training, foreign versus local leadership, and supply of financial and other resources. IS, for instance, is believed to have more Arabs compared to others, and its militants, who were exposed to war in Syria, are better trained and more brutal. Moreover, popularly known as Daesh, IS aims to neutralise the State in its favour, which other groups don't. Thus, LeT or JeM and others may have the same ideological frame, but count as groups that hope to gain 'while working within the system' with the intent of manipulating power circles in Pakistan to their own advantage. The second category of militant groups will thus continue to survive as long as they do not cross a certain line and threaten the country's security establishment. The State would rather protect these organisations and keep them alive because they are seen as the strategic backbone, which will rise up and become the additional reserve force in case of an external threat.
Interestingly, among groups belonging to the second category, there seems to be a difference between the JuD/LeT network and the ASWJ, on one hand, and JeM, on the other. While the former have resorted to following the plan of getting mainstreamed, JeM has stayed away from the idea. Though JeM has mellowed down its jihad rhetoric in its publications, which was more for hiding the extent of its activities, it did not abandon its main purpose of Jihad.
This is nothing odd because the militant organisation has consistently stayed away from even open proselytising or involving itself in social causes in the area, as it does not want to get distracted from its basic agenda. Social reforms in its area of operations, it is argued, would bring it needless public attention. In any case, JeM was never in the business of politics. The ASWJ, which is a Deobandi militant organisation, has been contesting elections. The head of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), of which the ASWJ is an offshoot, stayed alive by participating in elections and making gains where possible, especially in Sindh.
The JuD/LeT network, by contrast, accepted mainstreaming its framework even at the cost of abandoning its historical position of rejecting elections as part of democracy, which was condemned by Hafiz Saeed, just like Asim Umer of 'Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent' did.
Surely, JuD/LeT measured the cost of not accepting the mainstreaming proposition to its life as a network. Its political wing, the Milli Muslim League (MML), aimed at cutting into Nawaz Sharif's vote bank without necessarily winning the contest. The MML has gone relatively silent after the 2018 elections, which indicates it was a tactical move rather than a strategic shift.
The new Imran Khan government is unwilling to make any moves to strip militant networks of their power.
The gains of integrating with the State's larger objective of mainstreaming such organisations are clear, starting with the leadership's security. The government could always argue that Hafiz Saeed and the men around him are no longer a militant organisation, hence there's no need to impose any major restrictions on them. There is nothing objectionable that anyone could find in the claim made by Hafiz Saeed's son during the 2018 elections of making Pakistan the citadel of Islam. The Supreme Court of Pakistan allowed JuD's welfare wing, the Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation, to continue with its activities. Reportedly, Hafiz Saeed now plans to get his organisation's assets defrozen—not that the freezing of assets had any impact on his activities. The JuD/LeT network has continued to carry out its activities and even contest elections while the accounts were frozen, giving rise to questions on where are the resources coming from.
It is also obvious that the new Imran Khan government is not willing to make any moves to strip the JuD/LeT or other militant networks of their power, despite pressure asserted by the Financial Action Task Force. These outfits may be the last refuge of the State in the face of perceived threat from both internal and external sources. While the Pushtun Tahafuz Movement for the protection of Pushtuns inside the country is viewed as a threat extending from an unfriendly Afghanistan, the security establishment is doubly worried about the growing right-wing power in India.
In such circumstances, militants survive. Will financial pressure make the State change its mind is a million-dollar question. Perhaps, the understanding is that some part of the world will still provide a helping hand and not let the country sink despite its internal militant reality.


Karen Chan was awarded the Messel Travel Bursary to attend the John Innes/Rudjer Bošković Summer School in Dubrovnik, Croatia in September 2016. Here, she reports on how attending the Summer School allowed her to share ideas with scientists from diverse backgrounds on a range of topics, including public engagement.
'I am a third year PhD student in the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge. My work focuses on how soil bacteria make structurally and functionally diverse antibiotics; and how these antibiotic-producing bacteria may be exploited (via genetic engineering and genome mining) for the search of new drugs to combat the rapidly emerging antibiotic resistance.
'With the generous support of the SCI Messel Travel Bursary, I was able to attend and present my work at the John Innes/Rudjer Bošković Summer School on Microbial Diversity and Specialised Metabolites, which took place at the Inter University Centre (IUC), Dubrovnik, Croatia last September.
'The summer school was very well organised. We had an opening lecture on the history and future of antibiotic discovery, followed by 14 other lectures and guest seminars throughout the rest of the programme that covered a wide range of topics including microbial diversity and ecology, industrial fermentation and strain improvement for metabolite production, and the enzymology and manipulation of natural product biosynthesis. My favourite feature of the summer school was the hands-on computer workshop where we annotated genomes and analysed gene clusters governing antibiotics with interesting chemical architecture. Moreover, in between lectures and workshops, we were being divided into small groups of approximately 6-8 people to talk about career options after graduating from a PhD in sciences and heterologous expression of large biosynthetic pathways.
'All participants at the summer school brought a poster and the poster sessions facilitated the exchange between students and with the faculty. I received some very useful feedback regarding experimental design and the presentation of my poster.
'On the penultimate evening, we had a debate on 'whether or not all research scientists should be obliged to engage with the public'. Two students presented each side of the argument and I really enjoyed the lively discussion afterwards involving all participants. It was interesting to know what other scientists think about public engagement.

Rhys Ifans Talks Being The Lizard in 'The Amazing Spider-Man'
by Ben Moore
While it's true that 2011 was a banner year for superhero films – Green Hornet, Thor, X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern, and Captain America – 2012 is destined to be a banner year for major superhero films like The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Amazing Spider-Man.
Speaking of the Spider-Man reboot, Rhys Ifans – the man who's playing Spider-Man's kindest rogue, Dr. Connors (A.K.A. The Lizard) – recently spoke in detail about his role in the upcoming film.
On what makes The Lizard so special – courtesy of MTV Splash Page – Rhys Ifans said:
"The majority of comic book villains are pure evil, but Curt Connors is an exception. Curt Connors is a good man who initially wants to save the world but he gets hungry and greedy and reckless and he pays the price for that."
Eh, it's arguable that most of the Spider-Man villains – and a majority of the best supervillains in general – have a complicated quality to them. It's something Sam Raimi picked up from the get-go. Norman Osborne wasn't good by any means, but he was more insane than he was "pure evil." Likewise, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Venom, and so forth, were all very complicated "bad guys." Though it's true, of course, that The Lizard was one of the few Spider-Man rogues to be a totally good guy when unaffected by his evil, Lizard-based super powers.
On what makes Spider-Man interesting when compared to other household superhero names like Batman and Superman, Ifans said:
"I just love the whole Spider-Man thing because Superman is so kind of godlike, he comes from another planet, Batman is this inaccessible, unapproachable millionaire, and Peter Parker is this schoolboy who's bullied and I think that's the kind of enduring appeal to that story. We can all relate to his bullying and the kind of flux that puberty induces in a young boy becoming a man."
On Emma Stone's role as Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man:
"Emma works with me. Emma's character Gwen Stacey is a student who works at my laboratory."
When asked why he wouldn't disclose more details, Ifans said:
"You don't want me to turn 9-foot-tall and green and covered in scales and lick your face until you die."
I think it's safe to say that everyone wants to see that - on the big screen - when The Amazing Spider-Man comes out. (In July of next year.)
