Check Out Melissa Ngo and "Privacy Lives"
by Jim Harper on May 31, 2008 · 4 comments
Melissa Ngo has hung out her shingle as a privacy and information policy consultant, and she'll be blogging about various privacy and civil liberties issues at PrivacyLives.com.
In her prior role as senior counsel and director of the Identification and Surveillance Project at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Melissa was a real credit to that organization. I especially appreciated her work on identification policy, national ID issues, and the REAL ID Act. She is as fluent in this field as anyone. (Now, we don't agree on everything, of course, but wouldn't that be boring?)
I'm glad she chose "Privacy Lives" for the name of her site, where she intends to "chronicle and analyze . . . attacks [on privacy] and various defenses against them to show that privacy lives on." That's an upbeat outlook, and it's one I share. (Endlessly lamenting the privacy apocalypse must be so enervating! . . .)
Again, check out PrivacyLives.com. Good luck, Melissa!
Kerr Defends the Third-Party Doctrine
by Jim Harper on May 30, 2008 · 19 comments
Orin Kerr is a law professor at George Washington University and a blogger on the popular Volokh Conspiracy. He is a thoughtful, open-minded legal scholar, but I don't think it's unfair to say that he reliably sides with law enforcement on Fourth Amendment issues.
He recently posted a draft article defending the third-party doctrine, which is an interpretation of the Fourth Amendment holding that a person sharing information with a third party cannot make a Fourth Amendment claim to protection of that information. Use an ISP to transmit your email? No Fourth Amendment protection for its contents. Have a bank account? No Fourth Amendment protection for your banking records. Etc.
He treats as similar two issues that I see as separate: revelations gleaned from informants/agents and from business records. I have always thought of the third-party doctrine as being about business records. My remarks here apply to that area only.
I think the third-party doctrine was never right, and that it grows more wrong with each step forward in modern, connected living. Incredibly deep reservoirs of information are constantly collected by third-party service providers today. Cellular telephone networks pinpoint customers' locations throughout the day through the movement of their phones. Internet service providers maintain copies of huge swaths of the information that crosses their networks, tied to customer identifiers. Search engines maintain logs of searches that can be correlated to specific computers and usually the individuals that use them. Payment systems record each instance of commerce, and the time and place it occurred. The third-party doctrine exempts law enforcement from the Fourth Amendment's reasonableness and warrant requirements when it looks at these records.
It's wonderfully contrarian to run against the grain and defend the third-party doctrine, which has plenty of detractors, but sometimes contrarians can be wrong. I think Professor Kerr is, and here I'll briefly lay out a few of the fundamental differences I have with his paper—all toward the end of perfecting it before it's published in the Michigan Law Review next year, of course!
The basic gist of the article is that the third-party doctrine is better than most people think, for two reasons. First, it's technologically neutral. It prevents criminals from making opportunistic use of technology to circumvent the basic balance between security and privacy struck by the Fourth Amendment. Second, it's easier to administer than alternatives. The arguments against the third-party doctrine are weaker than most people believe, Kerr says.

FCC Localism Rules: A "Tax on Blackness"?
by James Gattuso on May 30, 2008 · 10 comments
"[T]here are two policy goals on which we need to make real progress," the FCC's Michael Copps told Congress last year, "minority and female ownership is one, localism is the other." Indeed, the two goals have long been sandwiched together like ham and cheese by media reformers on the left.
But it turns out the two may not mix so well after all. According to the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council and the Independent Spanish Broadcasters Association, many of the FCC's proposals to advance localism will actually harm minority broadcasters. Because of their "relatively small size and limited access to capital," David Honig and Jocelyn James of MMTC say in two recent filings at the FCC, the proposals would have a "negative impact on minority broadcasters."
Among the proposed new requirements cited by MMTC and ISBA: mandating permanent advisory boards, requiring a physical presence in broadcast facilities, prohibiting voice-tracking and adopting localism programming guidelines.
The two groups took particular aim at what is known as the "main studio rule." Repealed in the 1980s and now being considered for resurrection, the rule required broadcasters to maintain a "main" studio in their community of license. The problem, MMTC and ISBA point out, is that quite a few minority-owned stations – being late entrants into the broadcast industry (in part, it is argued, because of past discrimination by the FCC itself) – don't have a central community of license. Instead of having a powerful signal licensed from a single, central location, a disproportionate number of minority-owned broadcasters use clusters of small signals, each licensed to a separate, suburban community. Thus, rather than maintaining a single "main" studio, the rule would require them to maintain multiple – and costly – studios.
Because of this discriminatory effect, MMTC and ISBA say — rather bluntly — the rule would operate as a "tax on Blackness and Brown-ness."
This Account is Suspended
by Cord Blomquist on May 30, 2008 · 14 comments
It's worth noting that the Viacom lawsuit against YouTube makes little sense in light of the DMCA. For the few TechLiberation readers unfamiliar with the DMCA, that's because the law grants YouTube, and other sites with unedited user-generated content "safe harbor." So long as YouTube honors requests to take-down material that is claimed to be protected under copyright, it isn't liable for that material being posted in the first place.
Google is following the DMCA and even going beyond its legal obligations to protect copyright.
In fact, YouTube suspended CEI's account—wiping out all of our videos—based on a disputed 7 seconds of footage used in one of our videos. This was a very severe punishment and thankfully our account was reinstated after we were able to argue against the merits of the take-down. For those who do violate copyright, permanent suspension is a harsh punishment—so long as the account in questions isn't a throw-away. Google is going well beyond the required take-down in this instance.
Yet, one of the complaints Viacom has about YouTube is that it hasn't implemented software that would automatically weed out some copyrighted material produced by the entertainment industry—something that, again, would be above and beyond their legal obligations. YouTube planned to implement this software last year, but has failed to roll it out to the site. Viacom can complain about this delay, but not in the legal sense. Viacom simply has no grounds for a legal complaint unless they can somehow argue that the safe harbor provision of the DMCA is somehow invalid. A copyright lawyer might be able to suggest to us how such a thing could be done, if possible.
If Viacom means to show that the DMCA is in conflict with other copyright law and therefore the DMCA should be abandon or at least rewritten, it makes one wonder what a new system would look like. The current system of free posting and honoring take-downs seems to work well. It allows users to upload 10 hours of content per minute to YouTube—most of it seems to be kittens doing amusing things, not pre-lease episodes of 24—while still honoring copyright through take down. This has created a whole new medium for self-expression, expanding the media market in ways we are still trying to understand.
Were another balance to be struck, one that place the burden of policing content on YouTube, we would see this explosion of user-generated content fizzle out…or at least, like I said in my previous post, on YouTube.
Another balancing of the concerns of video sites and content owners—this one more heavily favoring content owners—would create significant barriers to video sharing and drive many from the market. Even so, user-generated video won't be going away and infringement will continue in different forms. So again I'm forced to ask, "What is Viacom getting out of this?"
Viacom sues YouTube for $1Billion, but then what?
by Cord Blomquist on May 30, 2008 · 9 comments
As the Viacom's lawsuit against YouTube and its parent company Google rolls forward, it's worth asking if any outcome of the suit will change the situation for Viacom. In fact, were the impossible to happen, like a judge shutting down YouTube altogether, Viacom may be worse off.
CNET's coverage of the piece sites an anonymous source from Viacom who notes that "The company basically is paying for an entire new department to watch YouTube."
But imagine how difficult it will be to police amateur video without YouTube or other video sharing sites around—it'd be impossible. That's because even if huge repositories of video are made illegal, web-based video won't just disappear, it'll move.
Our favorite cute kitten videos could end up on the same foreign servers that are serving up online poker and other forms of gambling to Americans each day, despite that activity being made illegal by the last Congress. (That was a Repubican Congress, the guys who stay out of your lives.) Just like Sierra Leone lent its flag to pirate broadcasters in the 1960s, it may rent its servers to pirate video broadcasters of the web variety.
On the other hand, videos could move to smaller websites domestically, even individual blogs and web pages. But the location doesn't really matter, either scenario would be bad for content creators. Balkanizing videos and making them harder to find makes them harder to police. Similarly, moving video from larger sites run by legitimate, domestic businesses manes take-down notices might not be honored.
It's possible that YouTube could function similarly as an index, just as Google does for web content. But the Torrent Spy case suggests that even "contributory" copyright infringement—making the copyright-infringing material easier to find—is just as illegal as hosting it in the first place. This means that even video search could be off the table if the principles of the DMCA aren't upheld.
Ultimately, I just don't see what Viacom thinks it's getting out of this lawsuit, other than the obvious benefit that comes with $1 billion in cold hard cash. To think this move will suddenly make the realities of web-based video go away is foolish at best. It might be hard for some to accept, but we just can't make it 2004 again.
Google, the NAB, and a Third Way in 'White Spaces' Debate
by Drew Clark on May 28, 2008 · 23 comments
Google co-founder Larry Page came to Washington last week to take on the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), the lobbying group that represents over-the-air television stations. It's a whole new adversary for the beleaguered broadcasters, who have been fighting cable and satellite television for years.
The Federal Communications Commission is currently considering a proposal, by Google and other tech players. It would allow tech companies to build electronic devices that transmit wireless internet signals over the "white spaces," or the vacant holes in the broadcast television band.
"We have an ambitious goal called pervasive connectivity through ubiquitous broadband networks," said Page, who is currently co-president of Web search giant Google, and the world's 43rd richest man, according to Forbes. "To realize that vision, we need to change the way we allocate and manage the nation's airwaves."
Basically, Google wants the right to broadcast where the broadcasters aren't doing so right now. And there are a lot of vacant channels to take advantage of, potentially offering a boon to the broadband-hungry technology industry.
Is There an Openness-Bandwidth Trade-off?
by Adam Thierer on May 28, 2008 · 17 comments
I've long known and liked Danny Weitzner, going way back to the CDA wars of the mid-1990s. Danny co-founded the Center for Democracy & Technology, which is were I first met him, and he currently serves as Co-Director of MIT's Decentralized Information Group, which is part of the computer science department up there. Apparently he is also now serving as technology adviser to the Barack Obama campaign. In it is that capacity he made some remarks recently on a panel at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference that caught my eye. Specifically, according to this Ars article:
"Openness is more important than bandwidth," said Weitzner, referring to the argument that "tiered" networks providing faster access to content providers who can pay could spur investment in fatter pipes. "I'd rather have a more open Internet at lower speeds than a faster Internet that has all sorts of discrimination built in. We've lived with tiny narrow little pipes and done extraordinary things with them."
I'm a bit troubled by Danny's statements. First, I think that many supporters of Net neutrality (NN) regulation have been crafting this sort of false choice between openness and bandwidth. I see no reason why we can't have plenty of openness as bandwidth grows. After all, it is openness to new services and applications that will help spur greater demand for bandwidth. Of course, I don't buy into the sort of conspiratorial theories set forth by some NN advocates who claim that broadband providers are going to engage in all sorts of blocking of online speech and applications. If you subscribe to certain 'black helicopter' theories of ISP manipulation of the Net, however, then I suppose you would be inclined to say we might somehow be better off with "tiny narrow little pipes" (a la dial-up connections) instead of high-speed pipes. But, again, I just don't buy the argument that ISPs are out to quash "openness" in that sense. Assuming they could even succeed in such an endeavor, which is highly dubious, it's just not good for business. It would create a huge consumer backlash, a PR hell, and ultimately not bring in any new revenue.
Hitting the Reset Button after an Info-Free Vacation
Could you make it through an entire 5-day vacation without the Internet, blogs, e-mail and your other daily informational inputs? Well, I almost did it. Why would I do that? Two reasons. First, a few months ago I read a random blog post in which someone deep within the comments to the entry said he couldn't live even 1 day without their daily info-fix. And so I wondered if I could for a few days. Second, my wife and kids have been begging me to stay off the computer when we go on vacations! So, I decided to give it a shot and not only stay off the Net, blogs and e-mail for 5 days, but also steer clear of even traditional information sources, namely newspapers and magazines.
Oh man, it hurt. I felt like a junkie going into detox. Withdrawal symptoms were immediate. I awoke with the nagging need to check my RSS feeds on Bloglines, check out the TLF, and flip through my e-mails. Even worse was the absence of my beloved Wall Street Journal. It was everything I could do not to pick one up each morning at a local Waffle House or Denny's while I was on the road. But I denied myself these pleasures and stuck to the plan, with the exception of a few moments when I cheated and checked a few work e-mails on my cell phone.
Anyway, when I returned, it was like trying to figure out how to deal with an information overload apocalypse. Over on my Bloglines account, just under 400 new blog posts were waiting for me from the 75+ blogs I monitor daily. On my work e-mail, I had well over 500 messages, not including spam. My Yahoo e-mail account had another 100+. My GMail account had dozens more. There we also plenty of voice mails at work and home. And when I got back to my house, I had a stack of Wall Street Journals, Washington Posts and the Sunday New York Times waiting for me. And several magazines in the mail.
Where to even begin? How does one catch up? Well, I'm not sure I'm gunna. I'm thinking about just ignoring all of it and hitting the reset button. I've already thrown away all the newspapers. And I have been bulk deleting most of my e-mails on all 3 accounts. And I'm still not sure when and if I'll be able to catch up with those RSS feeds, but I would really feel like I was missing something if I just ignored them all.
Sometimes life in an Age of Abundance is a bitch!

I've doing several interviews this week. In a couple of hours I'm interviewing Patri Friedman about Seasteading. Then, tomorrow I'll be talking to Jim Bessen of Patent Failure fame, and the president of the Encyclopedia Britannica. What should I ask them?
by Tim Lee on May 27, 2008 · 4 comments
I'm doing a piece on the Seasteading Institute, and I'm reading their fascinating summary of past efforts to achieve sovereignty via the oceans. My favorite case so far is the pirate radio wars of the 1960s:
In the 1960's, a new form of offshore activity emerged. Commercial radio as known in the United States didn't exist in Europe at the time. With few exceptions, all that was to be heard were staid government stations. Then a ship named Veronica dropped anchor just off the Dutch coast, with a transmitter beaming programing filled with the latest popular music. Advertisers eagerly bought up all the available time at premium rates, and imitators soon followed in the Scandinavian and British markets…At first, there was considerable violence between ships; however, the practice of maintaining 24-hour watches soon reduced that greatly…
The governments of Europe were outraged, and applied the pejorative term "pirates" to the broadcasters, a term with which they weren't entirely unhappy – due to its romantic connotations. Attempts were made to jam the ships' transmissions, but the public outcry was too great…International agreements were entered into to ban broadcasting from ships, but the African country of Sierra Leone chose to offer its flag as a flag of convenience rather than subscribe to the treaties…
The British finally knocked their offshore broadcasters off the air by banning advertising on them by firms doing business in the United Kingdom…then the coup de grace was delivered: the opening of popular music stations on land.
I had no idea. It's a good story, but I also find it striking that European governments managed to prevent the broadcasting of popular music until the 1960s. For all the bitching and moaning about Clear Channel, at least America's commercial radio model is reasonably responsive to public demand.


Defined as the study of movement, kinesiology opens the door for a career in everything from fitness-related industries to teaching, coaching and health-related fields like medicine, public health and physical or occupational therapy. If you want to turn your passion for physical fitness into a rewarding career that directly impacts people's health and wellness, a major in kinesiology could be for you.
Kinesiology is a dynamic, quickly growing, multifaceted field focused on the academic study of movement or physical activity. Physical activity includes exercising for improvement of health and fitness; learning movement skills; and engaging in activities of daily living, work, sport, dance and play. It involves the general population as well as special groups such as children and older adults; people with disabilities, injuries, or disease; and athletes.
We understand the passion for health, fitness and sport performance. The satisfaction that comes with seeing an injured athlete recover, a patient use nutrition and exercise to improve his health, or a wheelchair-bound student learn to play tennis—it's immeasurable. Regardless of where your passion leads you, our faculty will help to nurture and develop it.
We're big into hands-on experience at Curry. That means you'll not only learn in the classroom, but on the field, in the lab, in the clinic and with faculty. Together, we'll prepare you for what comes after college—graduate school, medical school or a career in a variety of areas.
The blend of experiences you'll receive as a Kinesiology major, especially the field and clinical practice, will prepare you in ways that other majors cannot. As a Kinesiology student, you'll be working alongside some of the area's finest in the wellness field.
The Kinesiology major leads to a B.S.Ed. degree. If you have dual enrollment, AP and/or IB credits you can opt to accelerate your studies, earning a B.S.Ed. and M.Ed in five years. Accelerated study is available in Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology for Individuals with Disabilities and Health and Physical Education Teaching. You'll need to apply to one of the M.Ed. programs by October 15 of your fourth year. GRE scores are due before the end of fall semester. An admission decision is made before the beginning of spring semester.
Though you'll have a number of required courses, you'll also have opportunities to shape your coursework according to your career goals, including adding a second major or a minor inside or outside of the Curry School. A faculty member from kinesiology will serve as your academic advisor, assisting you with the selection of classes. Your advisor will also help you consider optimal settings for gaining hands-on experiences in clinical, athletic, or school settings.
The Kinesiology major is a direct-admit program. Students from high school apply directly to Kinesiology through the University's Office of Undergraduate Admission. Once enrolled, students take courses both in the College of Arts and Sciences and in the Curry School of Education and Human Development. Students are expected to meet all general education requirements in their first two years, so they can concentrate on Kinesiology courses in years three and four. In addition to coursework, students in the Kinesiology major have a practicum requirement.
If you are interested in visiting us and finding out more about our Kinesiology program, please contact David Edwards (dae7c@virginia.edu) and join us for one of our upcoming information sessions, held monthly each fall and spring term.
Also check out the tours offered through the undergraduate admissions office. The tour of grounds, taken together with our Kinesiology specific tour, should give you most of the information you need to decide if UVA is the right fit for you! Contact undergraduate admissions to make your reservations for their on grounds tour.
Can't make these dates? No problem! We also do information sessions by appointment.
Email Dr. David Edwards to reserve a space or make an appointment today!
High school students should have a strong GPA and competitive SAT scores. When completing the Common Application, they must be sure to indicate an interest in Kinesiology and adhere to application deadlines set by the University's Office of Undergraduate Admission.
Current UVa students who are interested in transferring to the Curry School can apply to the Kinesiology major by February 1. Space in the major is limited. Preference will be given to students who are taking/have taken Biology 2010, 2020 and 2040 and Biology 3410, are making good progress toward completing general education requirements, and performing at levels that will make them competitive for graduate schools in exercise science, medicine, and allied health fields. Current students can apply using the online application.
Students who have begun their third year of study are not eligible for the undergraduate Kinesiology major. However, they may qualify for one of the graduate programs in Kinesiology.
Transfer applicants from other universities need to follow procedures outlined by the University's Office of Undergraduate Admission. Applicants must indicate an interest in Kinesiology on the Common Application. Preference will be given to students who are working towards the completion of the general education requirements, particularly science and physiology courses.
High school students and transfer applicants from other universities must follow deadlines set by the University's Office of Undergraduate Admission. Current UVA students must apply by February 1 to transfer into the major. Admissions decisions are typically made within 2-3 weeks after the application due date; admitted students begin their studies the following semester.
As an undergrad Kinesiology student, you'll take general education courses in the humanities and natural and social sciences, and core Kinesiology courses—classes like anatomy, exercise physiology, motor development, biomechanics and contemporary health issues. Based on your own career goals, you'll take additional prescribed courses and electives. You have the freedom to choose from a wide variety of courses and experiences so that you can be exposed to the many different aspects of the field.
if you plan to apply to Medical School or a Physician Assistant program, you will take additional science and clinical courses.
if you plan to apply to Physical Therapy School or a graduate program in Athletic Training, you will take additional electives in Sports Medicine.
if you plan to apply to graduate school in Exercise Physiology or Nutrition, you will take additional courses in exercise science and nutrition.
if you wish to pursue graduate training in Adapted Physical Education or Teaching School Health and Physical Education, you will take electives in those areas.
There are four sub-disciplines within the Kinesiology Program at the graduate level: Adapted Physical Education, Athletic Training/Sports Medicine, Exercise Physiology, and Health and Physical Education. Each of these sub-disciplines offers master's and doctoral degrees.
Students may apply for federal financial aid and work-study opportunities through the Office of Student Financial Services. There are also some paid positions for experienced students in practica sites. Check with your advisor about this option. Kinesiology is also participating in the USOAR program.
Students must meet all undergraduate degree requirements in 8 semesters. Accelerated study and early entry into a relevant master's degree program is possible.
Admitted students enter the major one semester after their application is reviewed.
This is a full-time program of study.
Students are encouraged to attend University Career Services Pre-Health Advising for information regarding planning for pre-requisites in various fields. For example, pre med and pre PA students will need Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry; pre-PT students will need Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. Although biology is required for the Kinesiology major, the other sciences are not and would be considered electives. Various schools change their requirements and it is important for students to be aware of requirements for course planning.

Quantum physics and perception
Time is an emergent phenomenon that is a side effect of quantum entanglement, say physicists. And they have the first experimental results to prove it. Many paradoxes get clarified now and we get a deeper understanding of our existence and the meaning of the Koran.
When the new ideas of quantum mechanics spread through science like wildfire in the first half of the 20th century, one of the first things physicists did was to apply them to gravity and general relativity. The results were not pretty.
It immediately became clear that these two foundations of modern physics were entirely incompatible. When physicists attempted to meld the approaches, the resulting equations were bedeviled with infinities making it impossible to make sense of the results.
Then in the mid-1960s, there was a breakthrough. The physicists John Wheeler and Bryce DeWitt successfully combined the previously incompatible ideas in a key result that has since become known as the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This is important because it avoids the troublesome infinites-a huge advance.
But it didn't take physicists long to realise that while the Wheeler-DeWitt equation solved one significant problem, it introduced another. The new problem was that time played no role in this equation. In effect, it says that nothing ever happens in the universe, a prediction that is clearly at odds with the observational evidence.
This conundrum, which physicists call 'the problem of time', has proved to be thorn in flesh of modern physicists, who have tried to ignore it but with little success.
Then in 1983, the theorists Don Page and William Wootters came up with a novel solution based on the quantum phenomenon of entanglement. This is the exotic property in which two quantum particles share the same existence, even though they are physically separated.
Entanglement is a deep and powerful link and Page and Wootters showed how it can be used to measure time. Their idea was that the way a pair of entangled particles evolve is a kind of clock that can be used to measure change.
But the results depend on how the observation is made. One way to do this is to compare the change in the entangled particles with an external clock that is entirely independent of the universe. This is equivalent to god-like observer outside the universe measuring the evolution of the particles using an external clock.
In this case, Page and Wootters showed that the particles would appear entirely unchanging-that time would not exist in this scenario.
But there is another way to do it that gives a different result. This is for an observer inside the universe to compare the evolution of the particles with the rest of the universe. In this case, the internal observer would see a change and this difference in the evolution of entangled particles compared with everything else is an important a measure of time.
This is an elegant and powerful idea. It suggests that time is an emergent phenomenon that comes about because of the nature of entanglement. And it exists only for observers inside the universe. Any god-like observer outside sees a static, unchanging universe, just as the Wheeler-DeWitt equations predict.
Of course, without experimental verification, Page and Wootter's ideas are little more than a philosophical curiosity. And since it is never possible to have an observer outside the universe, there seemed little chance of ever testing the idea.
Until now. Today, Ekaterina Moreva at the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) in Turin, Italy, and a few pals have performed the first experimental test of Page and Wootters' ideas. And they confirm that time is indeed an emergent phenomenon for 'internal' observers but absent for external ones.
The experiment involves the creation of a toy universe consisting of a pair of entangled photons and an observer that can measure their state in one of two ways. In the first, the observer measures the evolution of the system by becoming entangled with it. In the second, a god-like observer measures the evolution against an external clock which is entirely independent of the toy universe.
The experimental details are straightforward. The entangled photons each have a polarisation which can be changed by passing it through a birefringent plate. In the first set up, the observer measures the polarisation of one photon, thereby becoming entangled with it. He or she then compares this with the polarisation of the second photon. The difference is a measure of time.
In the second set up, the photons again both pass through the birefringent plates which change their polarisations. However, in this case, the observer only measures the global properties of both photons by comparing them against an independent clock.
In this case, the observer cannot detect any difference between the photons without becoming entangled with one or the other. And if there is no difference, the system appears static. In other words, time does not emerge.
"Although extremely simple, our model captures the two, seemingly contradictory, properties of the Page-Wootters mechanism," say Moreva and co.
That's an impressive experiment. Emergence is a popular idea in science. In particular, physicists have recently become excited about the idea that gravity is an emergent phenomenon. So it's a relatively small step to think that time may emerge in a similar way.
What emergent gravity has lacked, of course, is an experimental demonstration that shows how it works in in practice. That's why Moreva and co's work is significant. It places an abstract and exotic idea on firm experimental footing for the first time.
Perhaps most significant of all is the implication that quantum mechanics and general relativity are not so incompatible after all. When viewed through the lens of entanglement, the famous 'problem of time' just melts away.
[source: https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog]
Indeed it is an impressive experiment. An experiment which clarifies many paradoxes! We can better understand now why from God's point of view everything is already pre-ordained, but us, who are living inside creation, have a free will nonetheless and are consequently held responsible for our deeds.
We can understand now, why there exists this quarrel between so called "creationist" and adherers of the evolution theory. The creationists, who base their opinion on their revealed sources, accuse the adherers of the evolution theory of blasphemy and evil conspiracy, whereas the creationists are commonly viewed as fanatic religious fools. We could tell them now: "Please calm down! It is all a matter of perception! Indeed, from God's point of view creation is really one unity and everything directly created, but for us, who are inside of the creation, it appears as evolution."
But before we try to interfere in this debate, we should ask ourselves: Are really both perceptions true and equally valid? What does the Koran say?
Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord. [ar-Rum 8]
God says He has created the world with truth. Then how can He say in a different verse:
And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and [also] forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion. [Al-Hadid 20]
We see that God defines the life of this world, meaning the creation viewed from our point of perception, as an illusion, but not the creation as such! And surely God as absolute reality has the right perception and not us! But what is wrong with our perception?
Many Muslims (myself included) had difficulties in understanding, how God first created the world, established Adam as khalifah, but 'deported' him then because of his sin down to our world. Are there actually two worlds, one is the present one, the other lies in a spiritual sphere? But now it seems to become clear:
The creation is the same! Only our perception has changed because of eating the fruit of knowledge! The whole world as we perceive it now and hold for reality, exists only in this form, because we look at it and gain knowledge! If we would not look at reality, time would not exists, as time only emerges, when we look at reality!
But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the [happy] state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time. [al-Baqarah 36]
A state without time would be pure existence, pure being! It would be pure life!
It will most probably not take long until quantum physics tells us that beside time also space is an ,emergent phenomena'! If two quantum particles share the same existence, even though they are physically separated!
Professor Robert Lanza from Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina indeed declares that life created the universe and not vice cersa, and that consciousness determines the shape and size of an object. He calls his theory biocentrism and says, time and space are merely tools of our mind. Once we accept that space and time are 'tools of our minds', death can't exist in 'any real sense' either in a world without spatial or linear borders.
Lanza cited the famous double-slit experiment to backup his claims.
In the experiment, when scientists watch a particle pass through two slits in a barrier, the particle behaves like a bullet and goes through one slit or the other.
Yet if a person doesn't watch the particle, it acts like a wave. This means it can go through both slits at the same time.
This demonstrates that matter and energy can display characteristics of both waves and particles, and that behaviour of the particle changes based on a person's perception and consciousness.
This explains many things, e.g. why prophets and saints can cause miracles. They just watch at reality different as the common man.
But first of all it seems to show that we have descended from a state of pure life and pure being into a world of time and space! The eating of the fruit of knowledge has created space-time in the first place!

When you update the version of PHP (especially when going from version X.Y to version X.Z), you must update the PHP extensions as well.
This is because PHP extensions are developped in C, and are "close" to the internals of PHP -- which means that, if the APIs of those internals change, the extension must be re-compiled, to use the new versions.
How to update your PHP extensions will depend on which system you are using.
For more informations about the different versions, you can take a look at what's said on the left-sidebar of windows.php.net.
Or use the pecl command, to re-download the sources of the extensions in question, and re-compile them.
As you are on Windows, you need the TS (Thread Safe) version of the dll and not the NTS (Not Thread Safe) version.
Make sure that the php.ini file is loading only the TS extension.


Faith groups, students, local citizens and nonprofits are often supportive and engaged when it comes to urban gardening and food security. Even as nonprofits will engage the corporate world, rarely, if ever, has MCGO been given the opportunity to engage a Fortune 100 company.
Fast forward and now MCGO has benefited from kindness and engagement of Liberty Mutual's Service Day, 'Serve with Liberty'. This was the second straight year we welcomed employees at MCGO. Having the commitment and engaging employees helps spread the word on the importance of urban agriculture.
On this particular day we had three sites at MCGO where employees left their mark. The East Orchard, the West Orchard and the Edible Hedge. With the recent heavy rains, the sunny day just amplified the need for keeping weeds at bay. As a reminder, the Fischer Homestead which raised milking cows on the existing MCGO site so many years ago, also had a more recent (1960's) history. A nine hole golf course operated by an oil company, of all things. Time Oil purchase the MCGO site and eventually, the name, 'Meadowbrook' is where the area's name originates. So, in honor of that history, a brief and fun Frisbee Golf session was offered to celebrate the site. It was easier than getting a milking cow to the site. Thank you Liberty Mutual!
Clearing out the Edible Hedge, Thank you!

Q: UICollectionView Or UIButtons I have a quick question, related to if these images of apps, uses UICollectionView or buttons in their design:

Thank you for the help.

A: Most likely buttons, as UICollectionView is only compatible with iOS 6+
The LinkedIn iOS app only requires iOS 4.3+ so it is not using a UICollectionView-- they most likely built a custom view using UIButtons
Most apps out there still want to support at least iOS 5+ so your not going to see many using the UICollectionView yet.
Here are some open source "Collection View" classes that may fit your need (just make sure they also support old iOS versions)

Five steps to choosing the right MLM business. An important step when you've decided MLM is your business is to find the best deal that suits you. It is not only because it is a MLM business that will work for you, is no more than that and you should be careful to put in a business. These are some aspects that should be taken into consideration when looking for a company: 1. the product has to be something that you are comfortable. Do not attempt to enter into a business where the product is something that you think is not correct. Enthusiasm or confidence cannot be displayed when you disagree with the product.
2. The product has to be something that is a trend in the market. You need to be sure that the product represents is not out of date. If you try to create a business with products that are no longer a necessity in the market or already is replaced by another best thing have a hard link try to bring people to your business. 3. The company has to offer compensation clear that you like.
Each company has a different way to reward their distributors. You have to find the one that you believe that it is the correct way to do it. Remember that you will receive on the basis of that plan. 4. A system should be in place. One of the major problems when in MLM business is knowing what to do first, second, and a lot of people will leave your good company with a good product because they do not have a tracking system. Unless you are a person who are strong enough to create the system, knowing what is doing, you need help to know what and how to do it. 5. The training must be available. The system that you believe it is correct, with the company law and the right product at the need to be at your disposal to learn.

Someone should be responsible to show what you have to do. 5 simple steps will make much easier for you to decide what is right for you MLM business. The importance of putting it in the You will be able to achieve its objectives is fundamental to your success.
As I mentioned in the previous article, one of the most important points to build a business on the internet is to create a mailing list. Now, let's look at a little more than detail what is a mailing list. In general terms, a mailing list is that constituted by a certain amount of people who have given you their personal data, mainly your email using a form placed in your blog or on your website. In principle, each name in your list becomes what is known as a prospect, but once you are working on that list of prospects properly, begins to convert those prospects into customers. We must be clear that there is a marked difference between making money online and build a business and, precisely, the lists marked part of that difference. For example, many people who decide to make extra money through internet, start without a product or service to offer to your potential customers; do, promoting products such as merchants affiliated with products of other entrepreneurs or, Maybe selling advertising on its web site. In both cases may be making money, but not a business is being built. This, for the reason of that, generally, these activities not requires gathering information from potential clients requesting permission to take action in some aspect.
By contrast, when building a business, this part of the process is essential or vital, you need to obtain the data of persons, giving them permission to send them information once it is no longer your data. In these cases, action concrete that visitors must make is, precisely, Subscribe to your lists, by filling out a form designed for this purpose. Subscribe to the list of prospects, action for subscribers represents a kind of compromise with you, but only in a sense, receive something of its part, generally free, in exchange for giving their data.

The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers.
So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28. The first ten terms would be:

1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...

I just got my Transformer TF101 on Monday, and it's screaming fast with dual cores. I can only imagine how fast it would run with Kal-El onboard.
Android is a bit of a learning curve from iOS, but now that I've had a couple days to get used to it, I see much more potential in Android then I did in iOS.
hey' i think android will eat ios in few years from now, open os = u get more for your money, apples times coming to an end!
I realized that I could really use a tablet to take to class, and was seriously looking at getting the original Transformer when my loans (finally) come in. I'm very happy this is coming out, I'm planning on picking it up. Any ideas on a release date?
But does it have 3G?
I'm hoping it does have 3G. A lack of 3G held me back on the original transformer. Fingers crossed!
They copied this idea from Apple, jus saying ince nobody has said it yet.
SO stoked for this! I just hope that ASUS moves on their alleged $499 asking price. However, if that price comes WITH the dock, then it'd be pretty awesome!
Really? Which part? The tablet form factor (which Apple did not invent)? The SD storage options (which Apple does not have)? The built-in keyboard dock system to provide netbook-like functionality (which Apple also does not have)? Do you really need more examples?
Try trolling in the more pedestrian tech sites, where people are more blinded by brand loyalty and denial, and less concerned with facts. You'll get more mileage.
I've actually been hoping that there could be a "meeting of the minds" between Windows 8 and the Transformer. As fun and useful as Android is, I needs me some Windows for certain applications, unfortunately.
I have also been hoping that a Windows based Transformer was in the works.
I have an ASUS Ep121 and love it. Tegra 3 seems like a good place for Windows tablet (better battery life than EP121).
You can get the original Transformer with 3G, I don't see any reason why they would exclude it from their new model (though stranger things have been known to happen). I opted for the wifi only version since I can tether my Transformer to my phone for a wifi connection whenever I want. The GPS also works great.
Like Apple copied UI of some other OS's? Its hardly copying, taking something that is good and improving it for your benefit.
At least they manage to rouse the Cap'n from his slumber once in a while. Some of his best work is directed at Guests.

Using artisan inspiration to create new products
Inspiration strikes anytime and sometimes in the most unlikely of places. By definition, it's a wave of enthusiasm to express oneself in new and creative ways. It may come from an "aha" moment that sparks immediate action or a reflective discovery leading to a longer passage toward a "that-really-happened?" experience.

Usually many who're just defending themselves or loved ones end up facing Aggravated Assault Charges .
I have studied, practiced self defense for most of my life I'm very experienced in defending those who are accused of assault, physical harm to others, just for trying to defend themselves. Others causing harm under the pretenses of self defense.
3. You use no more force than was reasonably necessary to defend against that danger.
Belief in future harm is not sufficient, no matter how great or how likely the harm is believed to be. You must have believed there was imminent danger of violence to you or someone else. Your belief must have been reasonable and you must have acted because of that belief. You are only entitled to use that amount of force that a reasonable person would believe is necessary in the same situation. If you use more force than was reasonable, you did not act in lawful self-defense or defense of another.
You are not required to retreat.You are entitled to stand your ground and defend yourself and, if reasonably necessary, to pursue an assailant until the danger has passed. This is so, even if safety could have been achieved by retreating.
If you have been threatened or harmed by a person in the past, you are justified in acting more quickly or taking greater self-defense measures against that person. Such past threats or harm can be factors in determining whether or not your conduct and beliefs were reasonable.Threats from someone else that you reasonably associate with your assailant may be a factor in justifying your exercise of self-defense or defense of another.
3. He gives his opponent a chance to stop fighting.
If a person meets these requirements, he then has a right to self-defense if the opponent continues to fight.
A person does not have a right to self-defense if he or she provokes a fight or quarrel with the intent to create an excuse to use force.
The right to use force in self-defense or defense of another continues only as long as the danger exists or reasonably appears to exist. When the attacker withdraws or no longer appears capable of inflicting any injury, then the right to use force ends.
During New Years Day Rose Bowl Game my (out of state) client was in a self defense situation when his nose broke, he's been compensated for generously for the damages, I have charged him only half of my misdemeanor flat fee.

This must be the year that PSG put France back on the club map
September 18, 2021 by Max Parsons
Allons les enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Come on children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Power, pride and unadulterated passion. Those words from France's exhilaratingly special national anthem, La Marseillaise, are some of the most fervently sung across the continent. Unfortunately, however, they haven't been translated onto the football pitch at club level for quite some time.
At international level, France has produced three major tournament-winning sides – and all in the past 24 years; not many nations can boast that. However, when it comes to club competition, only one French club has ever lifted a European trophy: Marseille's Champions League-winning side of 1993 under the infamous presidency of Bernard Tapie.
Ligue 1 isn't the strongest league; that's all too clear. While the derogatory use of the phrase farmers' league is wildly over the top, it must be admitted that the quality of France's top flight simply isn't up to scratch when compared to the continent's other domestic leagues – their recent battle with Portugal's Liga NOS to be deemed worthy of Europe's top five strongest is testament enough.
In a way, the fantastic Clairefontaine academy – consistently providing state-of-the-art footballing education to the country's most promising talent – has been French domestic football's demise. It's no surprise that such accomplished youngsters are poached from Ligue 1 before they stake their claim in their homeland – it's a vicious cycle.
But, courtesy of that oh so important modern commodity of money, there's one club gunning hard to put France back on the club map.
Backed by Qatari money, Paris Saint-Germain are France's only hope of reobtaining gloire on the continental stage. The club from the capital have flirted with, and have been agonisingly teased by, Champions League success for a few years.
Since 2012, the Parisians have never exited Europe's elite club competition earlier than the knockout stage and, in the past two seasons, have done nothing but truly announced themselves as one of the continent's superpowers.
In the 2019/20 campaign – a season in which PSG won all four domestic trophies – it was a heart-breaking headed finish from former player and youth product Kingsley Coman that gave Bayern Munich a narrow 1-0 victory in the final.
And that heartbreak was relived at the semi-final stage last year, as immaturity and severe lack of composure shone through Mauricio Pochettino's side's 4-1 aggregate defeat to eventual runners-up Manchester City.
For a team so stacked with undoubted quality and magic, the manner in which they have fallen at such late hurdles over the past couple of years has been infuriating and, frankly, just not good enough considering the financial backing they have had.
However, this year is different.
Of course, their European campaign will be defined by how they bounce back from a woefully average beginning. A drab and underwhelming 1-1 draw at Club Brugge – despite the hyped trio of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar all starting together for the first time – was a depressing way to kick off what PSG fans will hope to be their year in the Champions League.
Despite that result, it still can – and should – be. It's still a club throwing money at the project, it's still a club containing almost unquantifiable quality but, this time, it's a club with their heads firmly screwed on – they have the tools to remain composed and move forward.
After one of the greatest and most unbelievable individual transfer windows ever, the Parisian side now have a greater depth in strength within the squad while also boasting the additions of both Real Madrid and Barcelona captains from last season – one of which, of course, is simply ineffable.
👀 pic.twitter.com/KDqh6cG9zl
— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) August 10, 2021
Pochettino now has leaders and born winners who have tasted success in Europe within his squad. With Sergio Ramos' inevitable demand for greatness and the sheer team-carrying and talismanic capabilities that Messi possesses – among the qualities that all this summer's other staggering additions bring – there is no excuse for PSG not to finally put their names down in Champions League victors' history.
It may have been a while since France have produced European champions at club level, and PSG may have just fallen short in recent times, but this year is the best opportunity that the club have had – and may ever have – of bringing back that gloire to domestic French football.

Celebration of a 160-year old story
St. Joseph Parish History
A Message from Fr. Shields
The unveiling of the new Master Plan for our parish and school was received with great enthusiasm by the hundreds of parishioners who crowded into the gym after the 10:00 Mass on March 26. At that time, I explained both the process by which we arrived at the current plan, and the rationale for the proposed renovations and new buildings.
In January, 2016, I appointed a Master Plan committee, consisting of 21 members of the parish, representing every segment of the parish community. We then selected a great architectural firm, Quina and Grundhoefer, and asked them to undertake a comprehensive assessment of our existing facilities. In addition, we asked them to help us determine what we need to be a dynamic parish where the Sacraments can be celebrated with dignity and beauty, and parishioners, both young and old, can be equipped for the lives of Christian service and witness.
Through parish surveys, many meetings with the Master Plan committee, and consulting with representatives of the school and parish ministries, our architects developed a beautiful plan for the future of St. Ignatius. The main features of that plan, which can be seen on the opposite page, include the following.
A new Parish Hall and Church. Everyone we heard from listed a parish hall as a basic need for our parish. As we considered possible sites for a parish hall, we also raised the question of whether the current church provides the best possible space for the celebration of the Mass and other sacraments. I pointed out to the committee that over the last six years, there had been only a handful of weddings celebrated in our church, and I had personally celebrated only one very small wedding. Obviously, the marriage of a child is one of the most important events in the life of a family! The great majority of our parishioners do not find our church building to be a suitable place for the celebration of this sacrament, and are electing to have weddings in more traditional churches such as St. Mary's or the Cathedral. We found this to be troubling, and detrimental to the formation of stable and lasting ties to the parish.
Catholic worship is three-dimensional. In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, a church is "a building in which we are attracted to God, and being with God unites us to one another." A church building which provides a common orientation toward the altar upon which the Lord becomes present, attracts us to God and unites us to one another. As Catholics, we also never worship simply with the visible community gathered around us; we are surrounded by a 'great cloud of witnesses', as the Letter to the Hebrews puts it, the saints who have gone before us, and the angels who constantly sing the Sanctus before the throne of God. Statues, stained glass windows, and other sacred art, serves to remind us that we are part of a living tradition, stretching back to the patriarchs and apostles, prophets, martyrs, and saints.
We determined that a church built along classical lines would best serve to move parishioners and visitors to enter more deeply into the spirit of the liturgy, to 'worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness' (Ps. 96:9). We asked our architects to begin designing a church with such features as a common entrance into a nave with pews facing an altar and reredos made of the finest materials; high ceilings to emphasize the transcendence and majesty of God; stained glass windows depicting the saints and the story of our salvation; and a traditional cruciform configuration of the entire edifice.
The architects showed us many stunning examples of Catholic churches around the country being built in a traditional style. At the same time, we became aware of the real possibility of the closure of St. Joseph Church. If such a closure were to occur, we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to preserve the priceless objects of sacred art from St. Joseph in a new church for St. Ignatius. It seemed fitting to preserve an important part of the history of the Catholic Church in Mobile in a parish which, like St. Joseph, had been under the care of the Jesuit priests for many years.
Our architects have begun the design of a new church for St. Ignatius, which will recreate the interior space of St. Joseph, and will contain the stained glass windows, pews, altar, reredos, light fixtures, stations of the cross, and statues from St. Joseph.
A very important consideration in the desire to build a new church was the recommendation from Quina and Grundhoefer that our current church could, at a reasonable price, be converted into a very attractive and functional parish hall. It will be able to accommodate up to 500 guests for a reception, and over 350 for a seated dinner.
New School facilities. Jesus said to His disciples, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me.' Our first mission is to the children of our parish. Our school, which provides an excellent Catholic education, is badly in need of new and renovated facilities including:
A new middle school, which will allow us to incorporate 6th graders into the middle school, and provide classroom space best suited to implement a curriculum which middle schoolers will find stimulating and challenging. In addition, by moving the 6th grade out of the Murray Building, we will be able to move Art, Music, and Science into those vacated spaces. The final result will be a K-8 complex grouped around a central administrative area.
A new cafeteria, replacing the current space, which is poorly lit, with a small and outdated kitchen. Building a new, spacious, attractive cafeteria, with wide panels of windows overlooking the playing field and allowing natural light to flood in, will also give additional gym space. With 29 CYO basketball teams, an active youth ministry, and volleyball teams, we badly need additional court space.
A new Early Learning Center, to be located in expanded facilities on the first floor of the current middle school building. This center will consolidate our educational programs and care for infants through K-4. These programs are currently housed in four different buildings, three of them outdated, and not built specifically for early childhood instructional programs. If we are to continue to attract young families to St. Ignatius, we must provide first-rate facilities and programs for their young children.
A New Youth Center. The current building housing the youth program was built over 60 years ago, and is not large enough nor properly configured to serve the needs of our dynamic youth ministry. With Confirmation having moved to the 11th grade, our youth center now hosts over 150 teenagers for dinner and fellowship each week.
A new Rectory for our priests. How would you like to live over your office or business, and have your kitchen, dining room, and television area in the middle of the space where employees regularly work, and customers visit? Our resident and visiting priests need a place of their own, still conveniently located on campus and close to the new church.
A new Administrative Building. Parish offices are in a building which was designed as a convent for religious sisters. It is cramped, inefficient, and lacking in space for normal business functions such as preparation of mailings and other materials, and meeting space for staff.
The entire Master Plan will greatly improve the attractiveness, efficiency and order of our campus. At the same time, our playground area will be expanded with the consolidation of our early childhood programs, and we will end up with more total parking spaces than we currently have. I am excited about this plan, and I ask you to pray for the success of the effort to implement every feature of it. The architectural renderings will be on display in the church, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have and listen to your suggestions.
May the Lord bless our parish, and strengthen us to glorify Him and be His witnesses here in Spring Hill.


Written by Julie Schwietert Collazo and Francisco Collazo, co-founders of Immigrant Families Together.
On New Year's Eve we found ourselves in Houston, visiting families for whom Immigrant Families Together (IFT) had posted bond or has been supporting since the summer 2018 family separation crisis provoked by the US government's zero tolerance policy.
We took the family to a local department store to shop for food and some essentials, filling a cart with the items that are impossible to buy if you're an asylum seeker who isn't yet allowed to work. Groceries such as milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, meat, and juice. Gladis and Ever thanked us repeatedly, asking us to convey their gratitude to all the volunteers and partners, including the Lumos Foundation, who had made the shopping trip possible.
Later that evening when we were saying goodbye, after we'd discussed their asylum cases and had spoken with their attorney about specific ways IFT can provide additional support for their case, Gladis and Ever gripped our hands and thanked us for showing up. And this is really what IFT's work is, and what this moment in the history of immigration asks of us all: to show up and to use what we have, doing what we can, to support the togetherness and stability of families as they go through their asylum proceedings, and to do that regardless of what the outcome of those proceedings might be.
Since late June 2018, IFT has posted the bonds of 60 mothers, fathers, grandparents, and older siblings who were separated from younger children because of immigration detention. For many of them, we've provided ongoing support, from legal counsel and medical care to housing, food, clothing and psychosocial care. At present, we're supporting more than 75 asylum-seeking families around the United States with the partnership of organizations like the Lumos Foundation, and via volunteers who understand that seeking asylum is a human right.
We can't guarantee the outcome of any family's asylum case, of course. But what we can do is provide the opportunity for families to live with stability and happiness as they seek to build new lives and homes as our neighbors. This year, let's commit to stand with them, showing up, leading with love, and doing what we can with what we have, to support them in their journey.

Reminiscing to this time last year and the moment I found out I was expecting our first child… I remember so vividly taking the pregnancy test home with me whilst it never actually REALLY occurred to me that I could possibly be pregnant. I was counting down the minutes and with every second another line started to appear. From that moment to now sharing every day with him, it couldn't have happened at a more perfect time… they do say God's timing is for the best!. I've found that having a blog isn't just for my readers but just as much for me, like a journal as I get to look back and see how my life has shaped over time. I'm absolutely loving going down the mummy blogger avenue now and feel so blessed as I'm starting to collaborate with such amazing brands.
One of these brands which I've already mentioned on a previous post is Huxbaby; an Australian brand who sent this gorgeous big dot romper for Hugo. I just want to mention I've only just got used to calling them rompers as to me I've always called them baby grows, is that an English thing, I dunno?! It feels such amazing quality, with a lovely soft thickness to the material and (with my 'mummy hat' on) I knew it would wash well. The design is so simple and stylish and so comfortable for babies to be rolling around in too. I teamed it with Hugo's first pair of baby moccasins which are oh so cute from Sincerely Ryleigh and they have little laces on them so they do actually stay on his feet.
I know you're most interested in Hugo's outfit 🙂 but I'm wearing a pair of ripped skinnies from ASOS and this gorgeous oversized jumper from Zara that was in the sale (I can't see it online but I only bought it in-store last week). Is it really bad to wear the same jumper all week because that's what I've just done, it's too easy to throw on plus it's so snuggly in this cold weather!
Please feel free to ask me any questions about anything related or non related to this post or to just simply leave feedback. I love reading what you write and I appreciate every one who takes time out to just look at my blog!
Gorgeous blog!!! God's timing really is the best!

Home What we do Our medals and awards Medals and Awards News 2017 Scott Medal: Sensors for the agricultural sector
2017 Scott Medal: Sensors for the agricultural sector
Professor Ian Woodhead has been awarded the Scott Medal by Royal Society Te Apārangi for advancing electronic engineering, particularly in developing sensors for the agricultural and environmental sectors.
Professor Woodhead has developed a number of sensors that are sold globally. This includes the electric fence performance sensor, manufactured and marketed internationally by Gallagher Electronics and an electronic soil moisture sensor called Aquaflex, sold by Streat Instruments, which has allowed more efficient irrigation systems so that farmers can use water more sustainably.
Professor Woodhead has also invented a novel technique for 'aquametry', which is the measurement of water in materials. His technique, known as 'time domain reflectometry imaging' (TDRI), uses microwaves to non-invasively measure the distribution of moisture near the surface of materials. It has helped us discover that water is not distributed evenly in many materials, advancing knowledge in this field of research.
Professor Woodhead has also worked on developing sensors for fruit firmness and the fat depth of livestock.
His research team at Lincoln Agritech Ltd has recently developed a UV sensor to measure nitrate concentrations in drainage water from farms and in groundwater.
The medal selection committee noted that the water nitrate monitor was a good example of how Professor Woodhead has applied his wide grasp of physics, mathematics, engineering and electronics to solve technological problems for New Zealand's agricultural sector and this latest technology may allow for better management of New Zealand's agricultural industries to reduce the risk of water pollution.
On receiving the medal, Professor Woodhead said: "I am honoured to receive this recognition from the Royal Society Te Apārangi and to join others who have been awarded the Scott Medal.
"I also wish to share the recognition with colleagues at Lincoln Agritech Ltd who have contributed to the research in microwaves and dielectric properties of materials, and development of derived products to benefit New Zealand industry and agriculture."
Professor Woodhead is Chief Scientist and Group Manager of Lincoln Technology at Lincoln Agritech Ltd. He is a contributor to the National Science Challenge: Science for Technological Innovation, leading the Agricultural and Environment Technologies portfolio. He was made an Adjunct Professor at Lincoln University in 2014 in recognition of his contribution to agritechnology and instrumentation.
Scott Medal:
For engineering, science and technology work of great merit by a researcher in New Zealand
To Ian Maxwell Woodhead for significant contributions to advancing the theory and measurement of propagating electromagnetic fields, and the measurement of dielectric properties of composite materials, particularly for applications in the agricultural and environmental sectors.

Wire – a new app by Skype's Co-Founder
December 4, 2014 by Varun
Janus Friis, Co-Founder, Skype, rolled a new communication app "Wire", which is available now for iOS, Android and Mac. The new app "Wire" contains in itself most of the aspects that users don't pay attention to – advanced file sharing (compression and delivery), media processing and several other units which have been bought to us.
Wire packs in it a clean, nothing of "not-in-use" simple design which will likely gather attention of wide mass of users.
Skype is no doubt on of the leading and trusted application when it comes to user end, but however, the technology it uses is quite old for now. Call quality issues, synchronization, connectivity problems are forever pertinent problems which still have no certain solution!
"Skype was launched more than a decade ago. A lot has changed since then – we are all used to free calls and texting, and we have taken to carrying our computers in our pockets," said Friis in a statement about Wire's launch.
To be honest, Wire is not the only attempt at bringing out a new technology for communication. Even the team Skype at Microsoft rebuilt on its take on a modern Skype with a new app called Qik, which was launched recently.
The team behind Wire is strong though, with people having deep background in communications. In addition, including people who worked previously with Apple, Skype, Nokia and Microsoft.
Jonathon Christensen, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder behind Wire, has been in Internet communication for 15 years and previous records include his works on MSN Messenger and Lync at Microsoft. Ahan, not stopped yet. Later on, being Co-founded audio processing software company namely Camino Network, which was later acquired by Skype.
Co-Founder Alan Duric also co-founded Camino Network, as well as Telio, a VoIP company similar to Vonage. Priido Zilmer, who previously led design teams at Vdio and Skype, led the product design at Wire.
Also, Wire's Chief Scientist Koen Vos created the audio compression format SILK and co-created the audio coding format OPUS.
The question is still between an abyss and sea: Is Wire a replacement for Skype?
Well, No.
^Not for today though.
The application is available for both mobile and desktop. It provides the utility of sharing text, pictures, GIFs, HD audio and other rich media, including contents from SoundCloud and YouTube. But the problem arises when it comes to the sharing of videos. Yes, it lacks video sharing support. Neither for real-time video chats or saved recordings.
The company plans to add the feature as soon as possible along with including the support for HTML5 and several other #premium features which will be available after user payments.
The most interesting feature of the Wire app is its "elegant" design, which is the matter of appeal for younger users as well as non-technical users. With the provision to use gesture based controls, the feature adds to the beauty of the app use. Most likely gesture uses are swiping up and down the screen for contact lists, etc.
Although several users may not find this more interesting, the app gives the usage tutorial after installation for further usage.
The focus this time is on the usage of the app, file sharing and messaging; rather than the app itself which holds on to user's priority, almost disappearing in the background.The app also has smart features, for example; it sorts the contacts on the top by listing the ones at first which you interact with the most.
The company said no word for the amount of funding from Friis and Iconical.com ( a collection of engineers, executives and designers which serves as a new, non – VC model for investments including Aether (Cone), Rdio, Vivino, Vicarious and others.).
"We looks at every single aspect of the landscape," said Christensen. "We had the context and history having been in this for quite a long time and having seen the pain points," he says. "We took all of them apart, rebuilt them the way they should be built…we hope."

I personally don't see the problem with it. It serves it's purpose. Did they show the full film at some point on the channel so viewers get the point of the idents?
Noticed now that the third ident has started going out, they seem to have completely cut out the grinning shadow of the cat which could be seen on the break bumpers, and in the full movie. I wonder if someone decided having that playing out at all hours of the day might have been a bit too scary for some younger viewers!
Part 4 has come out. Does that mean the next time it will be the final?
Part 5 is out already too (a new one has been appearing every 3 or 4 days so this one is one of the quicker appearing ones), which means they've now used up all of the film we've seen. As it's still only December 15th and they've still got 6 days until their special Help The Animals evening or 10 days until Christmas itself, it'll be interesting to see if they've got anything else up their sleeves for this last leg. Or maybe they'll completely forget and suddenly drop back to the regular idents on December 24th again!
Or there will start using all the idents? Thus making a full story every 5th junction?
Well they appear to have continued with just the fifth ident since the 15th now.
For those wondering too, it also seems they have successfully managed to queue up the festive idents for longer this year after they somewhat prematurely disappeared on the 24th last year.
BIB- which is, of course, the main problem with having an Advent calendar-themed ident, given the fact that Advent ends on Christmas Eve. A nice idea and well-executed, but not so good for an ident which is supposed to last up to New Year.


If you're actively hunting for function, you have to have a really good personalised and professional voicemail assistance. To start out with, take a good peek at the project submitting. There certainly are a few things which don't belong to a resume for work. Even in the event that you believe the total project gives seem similar, a few details might disagree. Compile all of the advice it is likely to get on past jobs, education, and anything you found relevant at the past thing. There are a lot of standard forms of resumes usedto submit an application for occupation openings. Your restart, also as previously mentioned, is not an all-purpose excuse of each thing you have taken. The best method to method a resume will be to utilize it as a way to convey your top strengths.
