Pakistan sizzled at the sun-baked Oval on their way to their greatest 50-over triumph since the 1992 World Cup as they thrashed much-fancied India , the defending champions, by a whopping 180 runs. "He felt he was in the zone today and he could have done something really special and that's why the disappointment came out". But Pakistan batsman Hafeez says his team-mates vowed to stick together despite the avalanche of criticism and they reaped the rewards in memorable fashion on Sunday.
Djokovic, who has won 12 grand slams , was trounced 7-6, 6-3, 6-0, which means for the first time in seven years the Serbian will be absent from the last-four tussles in Paris . I don't even know if I won or lost. All the men's quarter-finals will be played on Wednesday after the matches between Rafael Nadal and Pablo Carreno Busta and Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem were rained off on Tuesday.
However, this seems to be different now since Palestinians have been living under three different powers in three divided areas: West Bank, controlled by the Palestinian Authority, East Jerusalem , controlled by Israel and Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas.
Aaron Hicks homered twice and rookie Jordan Montgomery pitched seven stellar innings to lead the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 8-2 on Friday night. NY has not announced a spot starter for Sunday. Tillman is 0-3 in five outings since winning his season debut May 7 against the Chicago White Sox .
Argentine referee Nestor Pitana disallowed a goal by Portugals Pepe in the 21st minute of the first half after consulting the video assistant referee. Mexico has won five of its last six matches , with a 2-1 home loss to Croatia in a friendly in May. Portugal ended 2-2 with Mexico and, perhaps fortunately for FIFA , Chile beat Cameroon 2-0.
Cedric Soares' 86th-minute shot was deflected in to put Portugal ahead again, but Hector Moreno snatched a point for the mexicans in the 91st minute. The second half became more defensive as both sides wanted to protect what they had, and Ochoa produced a huge save from substitute Andre Silva, whose header was heading for the bottom corner, only to be brilliantly scooped away one-handed by the Malaga stopper.
Open glory in 2014 - were handily placed four off the pace. Rickie Fowler , the 18-hole leader, made an 8-foot birdie on No. 2 and was just getting going. There's a four-way tie for the lead at the U.S. Open. "There were a couple of loose swings out there, but when you shoot 65, you can take those".
He set the target early under warm sunshine, and even as the wind tapered in the afternoon, no one could catch him. He didn't make a birdie the rest of the way and had to settle for a 70. McIlroy , sidelined for a month with rib and back injuries, could not shake off the rust missing the U.S. Open cut for the second consecutive year.
Koepka , 27, carded an exceptional final-round 67 to finish four strokes clear of 54-hole leader Brian Harman (72) and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama (66). Open. Amidst a five-strong flurry of front-nine bogies, the 33-year old Victorian quickly extinguished any flickering hopes he may have harboured of ultimate victory.
But it was the first ball of the fourth over that turned cruel for India and a blessing for Pakistan. Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed , on the other hand, said that they too would have elected to bowl first had he won the toss, adding that they are looking forward to posting more than 300.
McPhee said Sunday that a team must offer the Golden Knights an asset "better" than the player he can claim in the draft. Assuming that the Golden Knights select Dillon or Schlemko Wednesday night, DeMelo would slide onto the third pairing where he's acquitted himself well over the last two seasons when injuries have arisen.

Why the Cleanup From California’s Camp Fire Could Hit a Major Roadblock. A potential problem has emerged: Nearly half of the property owners in the hill country around Paradise have not given the government permission to enter their properties to do the work.
Preliminary cleanup has already begun for what may be a $2 billion-plus effort, said to be the largest and costliest in state history. The main work, involving a complete scraping and clearing of burned-out properties, is scheduled to begin later this week.
From the NYTimes: In a Warming California, a Future of More Fire. The recent cycle of drought and deluge in California led to major fire risk. Climate change makes that cycle worse.

This is a model of a fantasy style 28mm Coaching Inn that I have 3D printed and painted from a design by Printable Scenery. Printable Scenery are a New Zealand based company that produce some excellent 3D design files for fantasy, historical and Sci-Fi buildings. As they are digital designs the buildings can be rescaled by the customer and printed out to suit any figure scale. I have rescaled some of these buildings to print at 10mm (Warmaster) scale as well. I do all of my 3D printing using a material called PLA, this is a corn based product that does not produce a smell when being used and is very economical. PLA costs between £14 - £20 per kilogram spool, this model weighs around 600g so would have cost £8.40 in material to print. 3D printing is a very slow process. The coaching Inn took over 30 hours to print, spread over a week, but I think the results are definately worth the wait, and in truth even at this speed my 3D printer can print terrain far quicker than I have time to assemble and paint.
This is the front view of the Inn. The Inn consists of a main Inn area, a side annex and a row of open stabling with a thatched roof.
The back of the Inn features a lean to wood shed, an overhanging first floor bay window and a nice run of dormer windows.
I was very pleased with the kit and the way that it has painted up and would rate the design as 9 out of 10. There were three small areas that I felt could be improved on the design. These are the inclusion on an Inn sign, staircase and front door to main Inn building.
The kit is designed to be assembled as three layers. Here we can see what it looks like with the roof removed. As there was not an opening in the floor for a staircase to the ground, I have added a wooden trapdoor to represent where the stairs exit.
This is a view of the ground floor. Very nice floorboard detailing. As the kit did not include a staircase, I found a free standing design from another kit, measured the height of the ground floor wall and rescaled the design to fit correctly and glued it in place with superglue.
The Inn sign was also made from wood, with a hanging sign based on an image of a real Inn sign from the Internet.
This is a lovely kit, great for skirmish action. I have already got plans for using it as the centre piece in a Burrows and Badgers scenario and with a different Inn sign ast the Prancing Pony for a Lord of the Rings scenario.
Hi - I have been looking at the LASER DREAM WORKS Vauban Fortress in recent months- see http://www.laserdreamworks.com/. Even have 3-4 of the 3D print files for my sins. However the economics of doing this manufacture as a "one off" printing effort on a home print machine is horrendous............................. so anyone aware of a print company that can produce these designs on a commercial basis whereby we get the unit costs down to something reasonable? Thoughts appreciated Jon.

Homes in Frome, Glastonbury, Taunton and Langford each sold for more than a million pounds in October.
An analysis of Land Registry shows the properties in the list below were the 10 most expensive homes to change hands.
Meanwhile, a flat in Yeovil sold for just £25,000.
According to the Land Registry, 29,592 residential sales were registered from October 2018.
Across England and Wales, there were 594 £1 million or more sales, compared to 450 registered in September, including 98 at £2m or more.
The most expensive residential sale taking place in October 2018 was of a semi-detached property in Kensington and Chelsea for £17.9m.
The cheapest residential sales in October 2018 were terraced properties in Ferryhill and Burnley for £19,000.
The data also includes sales under a power of sale/repossessions, buy-to-lets (where they can be identified by a Mortgage) and transfers to non-private individuals.
It may take several weeks for sales to be registered after completion so some sales from later in October may not be listed yet.
As the data relies on buyers, or their solicitors, registering the sale and the price paid with the Land Registry, mistakes in listings may happen, they are usually corrected at later date.

While the console was called the Sega Genesis in North America, the console was released to most of the rest of the world as the Sega Mega Drive. The reason for the name change in the US was due to the trademark for "Mega Drive" being owned in the US by a company known as "Mega Drive Systems", which specialized in storage devices for computers.
The Genesis was the first SEGA console to have online play, but it was only compatible with a handful of games and the lifespan for the modem device was less than one year.
In 1994, Sega launched Sega Channel, a service where users could download 20 Sega Genesis games every month through their cable company's "On Demand" service. Sega Channel lasted until 1998, the end of the 16-Bit generation, preceding the Xbox Live Arcade by over 10 years.
The Sega Nomad was based on the semi-portable Sega Mega Jet, a Mega Drive system that was designed specifically for use on Japanese airliners.
Due to its ability to accept full Genesis cartridges, the Sega Nomad was the first handheld console to feature online multiplayer. It achieved this by utilizing the Gensis's XBâˆ€ND modem.
Due to South Korea banning Japanese cultural imports at the end of World War II, the Sega Genesis was distributed by South Korean company Samsung, and was named the Super Gam*Boy.

With grant money expected to drop by more than $1.2 million next year, Mendon-Upton school officials hope to provide a level-service budget by increasing their funding request to the two towns.
The Mendon-Upton Regional School Committee held a public hearing last night at which they voted to request a $28.39 million operating budget for fiscal 2012, an 8.47 percent increase over this year's $26.18 million operating budget.
About 80 residents attended the public hearing, many with questions about what the budget would mean for classes, athletics and the Spanish immersion program.
"We're hoping this will be successful," Superintendent Antonio Fernandes said. "But keep in mind that in order to have a level-service budget, this does require additional funding from both towns above the required contribution."
Upton's contribution would increase 16.95 percent from $7.39 million this year to $8.64 million. Funding from Mendon would increase 14.95 percent from $6.2 million to $7.13 million.
The rest of the education revenue would come from the state and other sources.
Fernandes said he was "optimistic" that both towns will provide the needed funding. School officials did not identify where it would come from.
Upton officials have previously looked toward the town's school stabilization account as a possible funding source. Officials from Mendon have discussed a possible Proposition 2 1/2 property tax override.
"We're not asking the towns how they're going to get there," said School Committee Vice Chairwoman Heather Applegate. "We're not asking for any more specifics on how the administration is going to use resources.
"Right now the School Committee is charged with voting on our final budget request," she said.
Applegate said the district has pursued several cost-saving measures in recent years, including sharing costs with other districts, increasing energy efficiency and acquiring grants.
The district has also cut 57 teachers, cut programs and eliminated funding for athletics and other student activities.
Applegate proposed adding a new behavioral program that would cost about $140,000 and include an adjustment counselor, a dual certified special education/general education teacher and two aides. She said such a program could reduce special education costs by keeping students within the district and possibly attracting students from nearby towns.
Upton resident Michelle Goodwin said she appreciated school officials' optimism in getting the needed funding.
"I'm glad it looks like it's going to go well this year," she said. "However I would like to see the real picture. What are we talking about for loss of teachers, other staff, class sizes, etc.?"
Fernandes said the level-service budget maintains what the school district currently has.
If there is no funding to offset the $1.2 million grant reduction, part of which was due to the end of federal stimulus funding and part was from a separate federal Education Jobs Bill, the district would face staff reductions similar to last year's 33.25 positions cut. Class sizes would increase to the high 20s or low 30s.
The proposed budget does not include any increases to the Spanish immersion program, said Fernandes, who noted that the School Committee will soon discuss whether to open up the School Choice program, in which students go to a school in a different town, to kindergartners.
Kelly Carey of Upton said there are many parents whose children are not in the Spanish immersion program and feel left out, particularly after the world language program was cut at the middle school.
"I just want to make sure that we're looking out for all the kids when we are thinking about the programs we offered," Carey said.
Other attendees asked if the district is looking at what they will be faced with next year.
School Committee Chairman Don Morin said the schools will no longer be relying on one-time grants because they are gone for fiscal year 2012.
"Until the economy turns around and the state is able to provide more funding, I'm not sure what the future looks like," he said.
The School Committee meets again on April 4.

Now is a great time to start getting the outside of your custom home ready for spring!
Now that it’s spring, your custom home could use some refreshing. As we’ve seen, winter isn’t fully behind us yet, and that’s a problem for the exterior of your custom luxury home. Luckily, we have some helpful tips for you to follow.
When it comes to performing maintenance on your custom home, you should work your way down. So, to get things started off right, take a closer look at your roof. Try to spot any shingles that are coming loose. You should also inspect the roof flashing and see if any nails are showing up when they shouldn’t be. Vents also need to be looked over, because they could become clogged or loose without you realizing it. Don’t forget to also examine your gutters and downspouts, since they are essential for carrying excess water away from your custom luxury home’s roof.
Depending on the aesthetic you wanted for your custom home, your walls may look different than that of your neighbors. Brick and stone are durable enough to survive the extreme Maryland weather, but the mortar holding them together can still degrade. You should also be on the lookout for water damage, and any other physical damages, such as holes. These holes can provide a hiding place for insects such as ants or termites.
Along with the roof and walls, you’ll need to check on your custom home’s foundation. Your brand new custom home shouldn’t have any problems with the foundation yet, but it wouldn’t hurt to make sure after all the snow and ice melt. The runoff could cause problems you’re not aware of yet.
Clean up any debris you see in your yard. Early spring is also a good time to revive your lawn and landscape, so do what you can to get rid of weeds while encouraging beautiful grass growth that will increase your curb appeal and help make you the envy of the neighborhood.

The success of a startup undeniably hinges on skyrocket sales for which you need more and more people to get acquainted with your brand. The problem is your newly emerged business does not have ample funds to invest heavily into marketing and advertising campaigns. This is where you can take the support of digital marketing to attract and engage millions of potential customers in a short period and with a tiny budget. With an efficiently strategized digital marketing plan, your business does not just compete in the industry but also face off the scores of other digital marketing campaigns prominently influencing the consumers.
Digital marketing refers to the marketing of products or services using digital technologies mainly on the internet but also extending to some non-internet mediums. The digital marketing techniques take in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Content Marketing, Social Media Optimization And Marketing, E-commerce Marketing, Email Direct Marketing, display advertising, and much more. Given are a few invaluable guidelines to design an effective digital marketing campaign for startups and small businesses.
Social media has developed as the most influential tool to scale up or down a brand image. Therefore, make your presence on social networking sites certain and consistent. Do not just post on your social media pages regularly but there should also be distinctiveness in your post that must attract the reader. Make sure your followers do not get annoyed by your frequent messages and posts. Remember, the optimal number of posts on Facebook is between 5 to 10 posts a week, 5 tweets on Twitter a day, and 1 post on LinkedIn and Google+ each day.
Some corporates only use their social media accounts to promote their products or services. This can be an unsuccessful strategy as it is not aiding the followers. Find and share information that your followers may find interesting and helpful. If they share your post, you would get more traffic on your page and probably more customers as well. Meanwhile, make your social media page a platform where your customers can easily get engaged with you. Many large scale companies have moved their customer care services to social media and interact with their customers, give them required information, and resolve their complaints in faster and efficient manner. So, make sure you follow the best practice.
Unfortunately, many small businesses disregard investments in content marketing. Content is important because your entire digital marketing campaign hinges on it. If your content is not effective, the message you are communicating to your target audience will not be supported anymore. Concentrate on a creative content that describes your product or service in the best interest of the customers.
If you think creative content may cost you a lot, think again. You can find inexpensive and quality content on the various content providing websites. For example, the Fiverr can provide you with an animated video explaining your product or service against a tiny amount. The explanatory videos are impeccable for startups as they convey your new product or service in a quick and effective way. Once you produce a valuable piece of branded content, spread that as much as you can using your social media profiles, reaching LinkedIn groups and industry forums, contributing to other popular websites and emailing to the industry experts.
There are numerous digital marketing channels where you can invest. Make sure you spend your dollars only on the most favorable option for your business. Twitter’s sponsored tweets, LinkedIn’s premium services and Facebook’s Pay-to-Play are a few valuable options you can experiment with to have the best return on investment. Also, get your hands on Google Display Network (GDN) – the largest advertising network on the internet allowing you to display advertising on millions of websites, blogs, and pages. A digital marketing campaign with creative content and smartly targeting the relevant audience can help startups develop brand awareness and acquire more customers.
Running a startup with a restricted budget can be hard for anyone but with a sound knowledge of digital marketing and smart investment moves, you can drive robust results for your startup on the largest digital network.

Are You Ready to Celebrate the Wonderful Miracle of Easter? What miracle is that you ask? “Jesus Christ is risen!” This was the joyful news the angels shared with the women at the empty tomb. God has spoken forth proof of who Jesus is…through His resurrection from the dead!
The writer of Hebrews affirms “The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.” (Hebrews 1:3-4) Jesus is Greater Than fear, sin, and death!. He completed His mission! Salvation is available to you and me!
Eternity is Now in Session!
In the Old Testament, there is a phrase used to describe those who faithfully lived for God. The scripture comments “Enoch walked faithfully with God.” And then the scripture adds an interesting commentary that says, “then he was no more, because God took him away.” It’s like saying Enoch and God went for a walk one day and just kept on going.
I had a friend named Helen, when I lived in Baraboo, who was a woman who walked with God. I consider her one of my mentors. She was a godly woman who became an example for me of what it means to love God and love people. Every day she would faithfully spend time in Bible study and prayer in her morning devotional time. One day I received a phone call saying Helen had been having her quiet time with God and died suddenly. (She was in her late 70’s or early 80’s). I’ve always thought of her passing this way, Helen walked with God, and one day they just kept walking all the way to heaven.
Is your life In Need of a RESET?
I have a Kindle that once in a while will lose its Wi-Fi connection, not because there is a problem with the Wi-Fi signal, but because the Kindle has stopped functioning as it was designed to function. The good news is that if I turn the Kindle off, then turn it back on again, it functions as it was designed to. I simply need to RESET or reboot it.
Most of you have probably had to reboot or reset your computer or some other electronic device at one time or another, in order to get it to function smoothly again. You hit the restart button and whatever was the problem, seems to get resolved.
To develop followers of Christ within our community and church, and to grow individually in our faith in God.

It is an honor to lead Seattle Public Schools. Since I started on July 1, I’ve been out learning all about my new community, our schools, and our students. I know that great things can happen in public education, but the work must be steeped in community. That’s why it was so important for me to take the time to learn from all of you.
In September, I launched a comprehensive Listening and Learning Tour. My goal was to build a longer table, inviting new voices and perspectives to the conversation and intentionally engaging with families and students the district has historically underserved. I want to thank the many partners who welcomed me to Seattle and hosted many of the community meetings. Thank you for inviting me into your space and telling me your stories.
I met with 2,500 people, representing parents, students, community partners, principals, educators, school-based staff, and central office. The tour was complemented by an online conversation, providing one more way for the community to provide feedback. Your ideas and perspectives are helping to shape our next strategic plan and they have certainly helped shape my thoughts about the district’s next steps. In January, we will be out again asking you for feedback about an initial draft strategic plan.
In the meantime, I want to share back with you what I learned on the tour. Below you will find top priorities across all stakeholder groups and a final report provided to me by our strategic plan firm. You can also explore priorities unique to each stakeholder group and comments gathered during each Listening and Learning session.
Thank you again for participating in my learning. I look forward to working hand-in-hand with our families, students, and staff to build solutions to our many challenges and a better future for our students. Together, we will make sure our students’ futures are bright, that they are successful, and they are prepared to live their dreams.
Superintendent Juneau held 21 meetings with a variety of stakeholder groups across the city of Seattle from August 28 through November 15, 2018. In these meetings, attendees learned about the superintendent’s leadership journey, had an opportunity to ask questions, and were asked to fill out comment cards responding to the common question prompt. Staff collected these comments and translated into English, as necessary. Of the 21 meetings, 5 were held in a home language other than English and translation services were provided at all other meetings. Over 1,600 individuals attended the 21 community Listening and Learning sessions.
Themes from these sessions can be found below.

Listening and Learning sessions were held with SPS staff members from across the district including school leaders, school-based staff, support staff, and central office. Like the community meetings, participants were asked to provide their written response to the common question prompt on a comment card. More than 900 individuals attended 22 meetings.
Themes from these sessions are included below. Read specific staff priority themes and the report.
The district also implemented an online opportunity for staff, parents, and the broader community to share their thoughts to the common question, rate the thoughts of others, and discover what topics were most important to participants. The online engagement, ThoughtExchange, was open from September 17 through September 28, 2018 and, during this time, 1,660 individuals participated in some way.
You can view a summary report of the online findings. Raw data from the online engagement was included in the final analysis and summary report to the superintendent.
Racial Equity/Equity: Equity came forward as a strong theme, but while SPS has Board Policy 0030: Ensuring Educational and Racial Equity, which identifies “eight commitments to the success of every student in each of our schools”, there appears to be an inconsistent understanding of the commitments in the policy, variation in how equity is defined, and a wide range of viewpoints on what SPS should prioritize in order to address existing equity challenges and gaps.
Inclusion and Meeting the Needs of All Students: There is an opportunity to support teachers, administrators, and staff in better understanding and meeting the needs of all students across the district including, but not limited to race, gender identity, sexuality, home language, and learning needs and create more inclusive and welcoming environments that support student success.
Dual Language and Heritage Language Access: There is a deep appreciation of and belief in Dual Language immersion programs from those students, families, teachers, and administrators who have been able to be involved with them.
Improvements in Special Education: There is a perception that there is high variability in the quality of Special Education services and instruction across Seattle Public Schools.
Enhanced Student Supports: Increasing complexity of student needs across the district require more intensive and targeted supports and counseling, especially in the areas of social-emotional wellness, mental health, trauma, and homelessness.
Improved District Core Operations: There is a clear desire for more consistency and predictability from core district operations so that students, families, and school staff can plan for and deliver high-quality instruction. This includes school staffing, especially once the school year begins, transportation, food services, safety, and cleanliness within buildings and on school grounds.
Community Partnership Alignment: There is an opportunity to develop or improve partnerships with community organizations and Seattle city agencies to strengthen ongoing communication, feedback, and better utilize resources available to students and families through these partnerships.
Parent fundraising varies considerably across schools, which has resulted in equity concerns from many stakeholders. However, there are different opinions on the extent of the challenge and potential solutions.
Enrollment in the Highly Capable Cohort (HCC) don’t reflect district-wide enrollment patterns. There are a wide range of viewpoints regarding the root cause of this discrepancy and ideas on what the district should consider in response.
In addition to the priority themes, the community appreciated the opportunity to speak directly with the superintendent and expressed a desire for this practice to continue.
The full Listening and Learning Tour Report provides additional information and includes how the data gathered was analyzed.
Findings from the Listening and Learning Tour have been provided to Superintendent Juneau, partners that hosted the tour, and members of the strategic plan steering committee. While findings from the Listening and Learning Tour won’t be the sole input into the strategic planning process, it will be a foundational component.
In January 2019, staff and the strategic plan steering committee will be sharing back to the community a focused set of priorities, goals and strategies. To learn more, please visit the strategic plan development webpage.

Bring a touch of glamour to the salon with our new, straight-legged two-tone black trousers that feature a full-length soft material panel on each leg. All the convenience – pull-on, elasticated waist with drawstring, hair-resistant material, but with some added va-va-voom.
Lovely fit, comfortable to wear. I went for a large which is a size 12, true to fit. Good amount of room in them to move and bend. Quite long in size but I am only 5 ft 4, easy to roll up to get the perfect length. Great pair of trousers! Would definitely recommend.

Does the endpoint software need access rights to shared drives?
If the backup is to change the archive bit, as it does by default during FULL and INCREMENTAL backups, it will need permissions to write to them.
Otherwise the backup will still run as read-only so long as it has access to the TEMP folder where the workfiles are created.
You can set the Endpoint software to use "Date/Time" or "FastPick" and then it will not need access to the archive bits, and it should work OK.

Success. Not only was Arethusa flowering, but more was discovered! I’ll be returning tomorrow to wade through the water and conduct a formal count. In other news, labrador tea was in full bloom.
At long last the weekend is here! It’s time to get out and photograph some wildflowers. I’ll be hiking out to a colony of Arethusa, one of the North Country’s rarest and most beautiful orchids.
These were photographed last year on June 23rd. It may still be a little early for flowers, but it’s worth checking.

The second meeting of the Metadata Discussion Group was a lively session, with about 50 people in attendance. We’re glad to have a new exit installed in the staff lounge so that we no longer have to count heads to keep under room capacity!
The discussion began surrounding to what degree the article successfully described the different perspectives of the library, archives, and museum communities. Some in the group thought it was a good introduction, but didn’t make clear possible differences in broad vs. narrow scope or unique vs. non-unique materials. One participant noted that these institutions all have collection management needs in common.
Overall, the group felt that choosing standards based on material type rather than institution type made a great deal of sense. Visual materials were mentioned especially as needing a different approach than textual materials, and this participant postulated that this new way of thinking has been influenced heavily by the visual resources community, where content and structure standards developed side by side and influenced each other. Many questions about how to put this approach into practice were raised, however. Are we breaking user expectations by using different models for different types of materials? Some of our current categorizations of materials are hard to separate out by type – government documents, for example, are a mixture of archival-style things, visual materials, and texts, and a complete collection of the photographic work of one person would benefit from the context provided by archival description but would also benefit from in-depth item-level indexing.
The group spent a significant amount of time discussing issues of efficiency and streamlining the descriptive process. The Greene/Meissner report cited by the article was mentioned, as was RLG Programs’ recent report: Shifting Gears: Gearing Up to Get Into the Flow. The disconnect between collection- or file-level description and item-level digitization was noted, and seemed problematic. Questions of efficiency led us to discuss user-contributed metadata, especially as seen in the recent LC experiment with Flickr. Participants felt this approach could shift some burden from us to our users, and increases exposure for our collections. But we still need to process collections, and do a great deal of work with them. We need to experiment – things will keep changing. Questions about the need for oversight of user-driven data were raised, with overall acknowledgment of the problem but no concrete solutions.
A version of the chart in the conclusion adding visual resources as another category was distributed at a conference last summer. Is this simply another category or does it change the argument somewhat?
Could the chart in the conclusion include MARC as data structure for each community?
Where does Dublin Core fit in all of this?
The session ended on a somewhat philosophical note, with participants commenting that the shift in thinking proposed by this article reflects changes in society in general – more collaboration, themes emerging between groups are happening. The social definition of knowledge is changing. The group closed by noting interesting content on the web and remembering that the “interesting stuff” is why we do all of this in the first place.
Our next session will be Tuesday, February 26. The article for discussion for that session will be distributed by February 12, Please send ideas for topics for future session to the MDG listserv, and feel free to use the listserv for discussion between in-person sessions.
The first meeting of the IUB Metadata Discussion Group seems to have been an unqualified success. Although we held the session in a room with the largest seating capacity in the Wells Library, we still had to turn some people away. My apologies go out to those who wanted to attend but were unable to because of space. By our next session, a second door should be installed in the room which will raise its legal maximum capacity. Thank you to all who attended, and who tried to.
The group used the general principles outlined in the article to discuss the role of metadata in libraries and their technical services departments. Participants appreciated the breadth and high-level focus of the article, but expressed an interest in balancing this approach with more practical approaches in future meetings. The difficulty of describing the concept of “metadata” in any succinct way was noted by participants.
Two features of the article were brought out in discussion: the thought of metadata as something that grows and changes over time, and the fact that “lay” metadata is important in addition to “expert” metadata.
Regarding the continued accrual of metadata over the lifecycle of an object, the group discussed the potential effects on copy cataloging of this need, noted that WorldCat Local could play a part in this, and postulated that one of the roles of a technical services department could be the adding to of metadata records over time.
The concepts of “Lay” vs. “Expert” metadata, not surprisingly, generated a good deal of discussion. No participant voiced the sometimes-heard opinion that metadata from lay sources such as users, publishers, etc. (including user reviews, sales data, tagging of images, etc.) had no place in the library environment, although several individuals cautioned that the metadata we maintain must support effective retrieval and that more uncontrolled metadata could threaten that goal. One participant voiced an opinion that one role of libraries is to supplement lay metadata with expert metadata, to help ensure authority, a sentiment that seemed to have general agreement.
From this point, the discussions turned to the role of systems in providing services based on metadata. Participants felt that our systems needed to handle both factual, structured data like ISBNs and more fluid, organic, unstructured data like that our users can provide. It was noted that to provide high-quality services on these different types of metadata, our systems need to have *more* structure on the back end, rather than less. While the discussion didn’t delve very far into specific metadata formats, there was a general sense that the data being recorded was more important than the format in which it was stored. One participant summarized this view as “I don’t need to have MARC, I need to have the specificity of MARC.” The need for different approaches for different types of materials was raised, which led to a request for future MDG sessions to study in more depth these different approaches, the standards that emerge from them, and the communities behind them, and to discuss whether there is more these communities can do to work together. Participants also expressed interest in system design issues, allowing complex linking of records but still allowing them to make sense out of context.
We had a lively discussion, with many points of view raised. Our next session will be Tuesday, January 29. The article for discussion for that session will be distributed by January 15. Please send ideas for topics for future session to the MDG listserv, and feel free to use the listserv for discussion between in-person sessions.
The first meeting of the newly formed Metadata Discussion Group is coming up soon! Two weeks prior to each Metadata Discussion Group meeting, we will distribute an article on a metadata-related issue that all who plan to attend are encouraged to read. At the discussion group session, we will engage in informal conversation and analysis about the points raised in the article. Details regarding the November meeting and the article we will be discussing are below. We hope to see you there!
Topic: What is metadata and why is it important to me?
Article to discuss: Gilliand, Anne J. “Setting the Stage.” In Introduction to Metadata: Pathways to Digital Information, ed. Murtha Baca. Online edition, version 2.1. Available from http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/intrometadata/setting.pdf.
The IUB Libraries is starting a new “Metadata Discussion Group,” which will meet monthly to discuss an article relating to a current metadata topic. The group has no formal “membership” – discussions are open to anyone from the Libraries, SLIS, or elsewhere on campus who is interested in the topic under discussion. Come join us for lively collaborative conversation about diverse topics in metadata, both broad and detailed. A citation for the article to be discussed will be distributed two weeks before each Metadata Discussion Group meeting, to give participants time to read articles prior to the group discussion.
Metadata Discussion Group sessions are scheduled for the last Tuesday of the month, from 10-11 AM, in the Wells Library Staff Lounge, 3rd floor East tower. The first meeting will be November 27, 2007. The topic for this meeting will be “What is metadata and why is it important to me?” A citation to a specific article covering this topic will be distributed soon. At the November meeting we will also discuss possible future topics for Metadata Discussion group sessions.
The Metadata Discussion Group is sponsored by the IUB Libraries Technical Services Advisory Council (TSAC). Comments, questions, or ideas for discussion topics or articles can be sent to Jenn Riley, Metadata Librarian, at jenlrile@indiana.edu or the chair of the TSAC, Lynda Clendenning, at lfclende@indiana.edu.

Lax, who studied with painter David Salle at an Atlantic Center for the Arts residency, traces the Please Love My Art series to an experience she had when showcasing her work in Paris and the south of France in 1996.
The heads from the classical sculptures are the starting points for ersatz warriors or angels... The paint drips to the bottom of the canvas, and the drawing is deliberately uneven and unpolished, so that the time-worn expressions on the sculptures contrast with the immediacy and eager simplicity of the work as a whole.

Microsoft Exchange Online or Office 365 is the popular web-based email client that stores its all data in the cloud. It allows users to access data from anywhere at anytime. Exchange Online has some additional features such as file sharing, working with mobile phones, cloud services etc. But, still, some users want to export Exchange Online mailbox to PST. Because the problem with Exchange Online is that, it works only when the internet is available. If the Exchange Online data gets deleted or corrupted due to different reasons like masquerading, corruption, hacking, virus attack, etc, then it is not possible to retrieve it back. So, to overcome all such situations, a user needs to make a backup of Exchange Online data. For backup, all Exchange Export data should be saved in the desktop-based email client i.e MS Outlook. Therefore, it is required to export Office 365 mailbox to PST file format. There are some solutions to such migration discussed in this post.
If the data gets corrupted or deleted, then normally it cannot be recovered. In this situations, data can be retrieved back if the user has a backup of Exchange Online mailbox in PST format. Many organizations which do not keep backup of data, stuck in serious problems at the time of disaster.
Export mailbox to PST from exchange online is required if the data stored in the cloud is hacked, and the hacker made some irrelevant changes. In this case, your data will be safe in the backup files.
If the user has accidentally deleted some important data, then the deleted data can be retrieved if the backup of the data is available in the PST format.
An eDiscovery PST Export Tool is an inbuilt facility of Microsoft. It is used to export Exchange Online to PST file. It creates the backup of Exchange data such as emails, contacts, and calendars to an Outlook PST format. To use this facility, some special privileges are needed and it must be granted by an admin account holder. So, perform these steps to acquire the permission to access the tool.
1. First of all, click on the Browse button to set the folder path where the exported PST file will be saved.
2. After that, check the Enable deduplication checkbox to remove any duplicate emails. If the same message exists in more than one folder, then only one instance is saved in the PST file.
3. Now, users can also check the Include unsearchable items check box. This will add mailbox items that can not be reached by Exchange Online Search. These items include email files with attachments that cannot be indexed during a search and saved in a separate PST file.
4. Finally, click on Export button to start the migration process to backup Exchange Online mailbox to PST file.
The manual method has some demerits like it is very lengthy and time-consuming process, administrative credentials are required for granting privileges, technical skills are needed etc. Therefore, it is suggested to use Office 365 Exporter. It is used to archive and export Exchange Online mailbox to PST file without any data corruption or data loss. This automatic solution is simple and efficient for all users. However, according to the experts, it is the best trouble-free solution to get backup of data in PST format and retrieve the lost data.
Exchange Online stores their data in the cloud and it is very difficult to retrieve the data from the cloud in the case of data deletion or corruption. That is why it is really important to take backup of Exchange Online mailbox to PST. For this, both manual and third-party solutions are there. In the manual procedure, users have to perform all the steps and it has some limitations. Now, in order to have a simple, easy and effortless solution Office 365 Exporter tool is suggested above. It is the easiest approach to export Exchange Online mailbox to PST file. Both the solutions are equally good. A user can choose anyone according to the need.

I have one message for my complacency. That that would like to ease up on AA, stop coming to my home group. That which finds recovery a bit too much ‘this’ or ‘that’ or not enough of ‘whatever’.
My illness has a 44 Magnum pointed straight at my head and I need to address this complacency with the baseball bat of reason.
Outside the sanctuary of recovery I’m a sitting duck. I’ve lost count of how many drinking buddies/acquaintances have been picked off – through a variety of exits. ‘The quick exit’ – stabbed, beaten to death etc, ‘The sudden decline’, their health rapidly declining – the next moment, “oh, did you hear so and so died!?” And “The living death”…the relentless Groundhog Day of alcoholism with or without ‘wet brain’, with the exquisite loneliness, fear and deep inner dejection.
So often, we can have a memory bypass to how good recovery felt, the release from despair and the strength of the rope of recovery. Some unfortunates decide to go it alone and some of these have died as we have witnessed. We have also witnessed that those who continue to trudge onwards – come rain or shine – are able to surmount life's heartbreaks, setbacks and woes with dignity, and are able to grow from these. Furthermore they are able to appreciate and realise the good times and opportunities that also inevitably come our way with gratitude and some measure of humility, without an implosion of ego or going on some insatiable mission. Someone observed that without peace / serenity there can be no true happiness.
For alcoholics to have any quality of life (or any life at all!) we need to live by spiritual principles – not just for a good photo opportunity but for the rest of our lives. To be honest, for an alcoholic like me, there are times when living by spiritual principles can be a pain in the arse..plain and simple! I’m a deeply flawed being. So, I occasionally need to tap into my Step 1 – the 44 Magnum pointed at my head.
Conversely and most of the time, when I do tap into my spiritual principles/maintenance steps/meetings etc, I quickly remember that I’m on a good deal – I get out far more than I put in. I have an abundance of quality-time where I’m able to enjoy my work (unheard of before recovery) and have some really nice leisure time.
Cynics have often said, “ah..these spiritual principles..God..its all pie in the sky when you die”. We can say, “no, its steak on the plate while you wait…"

You went ahead to click the super-straight and towering building positioned on the street from a distance, in a bid to capture its soaring height. Sadly, when you looked at the photo you got the shock of your life to see the tilted and falling on the road! Many of us travel and architecture photographers have been through this experience. It is due to a phenomenon called distortion. So don’t worry, it’s not your vision that’s distorted, it’s something else!
You need not need a camera lens to get to know distortion. Remember your epic road trip and how you looked far out at the road ahead, only to see the straight road edges converge at a single point on the horizon? Was the road edges really meeting? Think architectural photography– just tilt your perspective 90º, and you get a similar phenomenon— vertical distortion.
All the blocks in the above architecture design are almost of the same scale. It is the distortion in the photograph that has caused them to create an illusion of varying scales.
Distortion is a result of changing perspective, and properties of the lens. We know that objects that are closer appear to be much larger—remember that selfie with Eiffel tower where you seem to have overgrown the tower itself? Similarly, when you stand in front of a vertical building and try to get the entire high-rise in the frame, the base appears much larger compared to the top, and the building looks as if it’s falling back with the edge converging at the top. A case of converging verticals.
1. Optical distortion: This type of distortion is caused by the lens properties or limitations itself, and occur as lack of sharpness, vignettes, chromatic aberrations and curved lines.
2. Geometric distortion: This distortion affects the shape of the subject towards the edges of the frame. For example, a sphere in the centre appears round, whereas the same sphere when present near the edge, appears like an elliptical disk. This is commonly seen in interior photos.
3. Perspective distortion: This arises because of different scales of objects at varying distances from the lens. Often seen in outdoor architectural photographs such as streets or building exteriors.
4. Keystoning distortion: Caused by the viewpoint, this distortion leads to “converging lines”. For example, when shooting a tall building its edge appear “caved in” than “straight up”.
5. Alignment distortion: Occurs when the camera is not levelled horizontally with a reference line of the subject, making the subject appear skewed.
Distortion may lead to unreal or outright weird images and hence you may want to do away with it most of the times. On the contrary, it can be also used to create surreal effects.
1. Change your viewpoint: The best strategy is to minimize distortion in the field by trying to keep the plane of the camera and the subject aligned i.e. tilt the camera as little as possible. If your subject is at a height, find a high vantage point and shoot from there, parallel to the main subject.
2. Use a tilt-shift lens: If changing the viewpoint is not possible, opt for a perspective control lens or a tilt-shift lens. You will be able to keep your camera at your level while shifting your lens direction to align with all the points of the subject. This may take some practice to master and such lenses are often expensive.
3. Software correction: Lightroom, Photoshop, Perspective Pilot, Ptlens are some common software you can use for lens correction. iPhone too has a perspective correction app for mobile clicks. However, too much correction will lead to pixel loss.
Remember, the human eye is used to some degree of perspective because it’s the natural way we see. That’s why some images may look weird if you correct them completely!
Distortion can be used to make creative and out-of-the-league images that immediately catch the viewer’s eye! Have you seen the typical pics of people “holding” the Eiffel tower in their hands- as a photographer you can use distortion to create such special personalized moments for your clients! A fish-eye lens can give very interesting perspectives (albeit distorted ones!) of common architectural subjects, for example, a scrunched view of the Paris skyline, with the Eiffel Tower in a corner and twisted to give a funny frame!

Hush Little Baby is a beautiful traditional American lullaby. In the song, Mama promises many things to her baby if she'll be quiet and go to sleep. In each instance, Mama tells the baby what she'll give if the previous gift breaks or doesn't work correctly, i.e. the billy goat doesn't pull.
This song is a great accompaniment to quiet time. But it also can be a wonderful catalyst to sparking imagination. Ask children to come up with their own "gifts" that they'd substitute for the "mockingbird". And then how would that item "malfunction"?
UNITS: This song is a great accompaniment to circle time discussions about bedtime and about how things work (and don't work, i.e. if that dog name Rover don't bark) and at rest time.
Alternate Activity: Make up your own version of the song. Ask children to share what items they'd substitute for "mockingbird" and how that item might not work and then come up with another item.
Only 2 chords in this beautiful song.

The 30-year-old activist and her husband, Matthew Gilmour, are expecting their third child together. Smart shared the exciting news with her Instagram followers on Tuesday.
"Pretty HUGE news!!!!!! We’re expecting baby #3 in November!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤," the My Story author wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of an ultrasound.
Smart and Gilmour are already parents to 14-month-old son James and 2-year-old daughter Chloe. The couple got engaged in Jan. 2012 after one year of courting. They then tied the knot in a private ceremony in Hawaii on Feb. 18, 2012.
Smart was kidnapped at age 14 from her Salt Lake City home and held captive for nine months. In 2017, on the 15th anniversary of her abduction, Lifetime aired a made-for-TV film titled I Am Elizabeth Smart, which was narrated and produced by Smart. The movie tells the story of her kidnapping from her own perspective.
ET caught up with Smart last year, where she opened up about the project and expressed that, while she has been an advocate for other victims of abuse, she never considered doing a movie about her own story.

The below information was compiled by Gaelscoileanna Teo. This group aims is to create and support a high standard of Irish language schooling throughout the country. They also aim to develop and strengthen Irish culture.
Irish-medium schools operate under the standard rules set by the Department of Education and Skills. Irish is the language of instruction in the school and the language of communication between the staff, pupils and school management. Irish is a living language in the school, both in the classroom and outside. Irish-medium schools provide a high standard of education in all subjects, including English, and the schools follow the curriculum as set by the Department of Education. All pupils are welcome in Irish-medium schools, regardless of their linguistic background.
Why would I choose an Irish education for my child?
It may be very important to them that their children have fluent Irish.
They recognise that children receive a unique insight into their own culture and other cultures through attending a Gaelscoil.
Pride in the language and in the child's culture is nurtured while attending a Gaelscoil.
They wish for their children to speak, read and write in two languages and benefit from the numerous advantages which accompany this skill.
They want their children to experience the high standard of education that these schools provide.
They want to develop the self confidence and identity of the child.
Where is the nearest Gaelscoil to me?
Gaelscoileanna Teo. and Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta have made a map of Ireland, showing every Gaelscoil in the country.
How many primary Gaelscoileanna are there?
There are 180 gaelscoileanna outside of the Gaeltacht with 35,710 students attending them.
Can I register my child in an Irish language school, without having Irish myself?
Of course! Pupils from all linguistic and cultural backgrounds are welcome in Irish-medium schools. Parents without Irish are encouraged to use as much Irish as they can in the home, through use of specific phrases or by using the language for specific periods each day. This helps the pupil understand that Irish is not spoken in school alone and that the parents have an interest in the language.
Gaelscoileanna Teo. is the lead organisation in the Irish-medium Immersion Education and Pre-school sector. The organisation’s new role also includes the provision of support services for Irish-medium schools in Gaeltacht areas. Gaelscoileanna Teo. provides advice, assistance and support to people who wish to have their children educated through the medium of Irish, as well as support services for those working in the sector.
What is Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta?
Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta is an organisation responsible for representing Irish-medium education in Northern Ireland. The Department of Education founded the organisation in 2000 in order to promote and support Irish-medium education in the north.

The 1:18 AUTOart Bugatti Veyron is one of the best way to own the most defining car of the first decade of the 21st century. As the Bugatti Veyron is so popular, there are lots and lots of models of it. The overall best though remains the AUTOart offering at least the production version.
At the exterior is no other way of saying, it is stunning. The dimensions are pretty much spot on, when compared to the real car. The panel gaps and overall finish is also excellent. Real metal mesh is used for all grills even ones you’ll barely notice in the smaller nooks and crannies. There is also a smaller mesh around the central exhaust pipe. The wheels are in typical AUTOart style and are beautifully made, accompanied by dark gray brake discs intended to mimic the carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide brake discs on the real car. Behind the discs are two hoses and a fully working independent suspension made of metal.
The model features opening front lid, doors and a fully functioning spoiler which is a thing of beauty. The model also features a removable engine cover to show the astonishing engine bay. The maker has done a good job and it is a pleasure to look at the various components of the engine. This is made easier, thanks to the magnifying glass that is included in the box. On the under side of the car there is a small button that releases the spoiler. It itself is mounted on two springs so it is a nice idea to keep a finger on it so not to fly away someday. It may happen as there are a lot of tiny and fragile details on the model as a whole, so be careful with it. Underneath the front trunk lid there’s not much to look at. Just an empty but carpeted load area and a couple of gas struts used to keep the lid opened. Moving on to the interior. It is fully carpeted, true to the original and generally well made. But it also contains a few disappointments.
The first one is the rather cheaper look of the center console. The one on the concept model, made again by AUTOart is much more pleasing and intricate.
The bigger issue though is the omitting of a very key feature.In the real Veyron, on the floor to the left of the driving seat, there are a few slots operated with the key of the car, where you can lock the spoiler, override it and so on. These slots are missing in the model.
What is even stranger is that they were present, along with the hand brake, in the concept model. Maybe not that big of a miss for some, but is a prominent feature of the real car and it should not be missed by a top company like AUTOart.
Underneath the model doesn’t show much. Well anything in fact. But that is the way with the real Veyron as well.
Overall the AutoArt Bugatti Veyron is one of the best models out there. There are a couple of mistakes and issues with fragility but when there are nearly 200 individual parts on a model, a few relatively small mistakes here and there are normal.
