The Digital Resource for Palaeography (DigiPal) is a project funded by the European Research Council that brings digital technology to bear on scholarly discussion of medieval handwriting. At its heart will be hundreds of newly-commissioned photographs of eleventh-century Anglo-Saxon script from the major manuscript collections in the world, with detailed descriptions of the handwriting, the textual content, and the wider manuscript or documentary context. However, another important aim is to develop freely-available generalised framework for the online presentation of palaeographical content which allows scholars to search for, view, and organise detailed characteristics of handwriting in both verbal and visual form. Users will therefore be able to search for material such as 'show me images of the letter a in charters issued from Canterbury during the mid-eleventh century', 'plot the frequency of a given form of trelative to all other forms of t', or 'show me images of the letter g in manuscripts of Old English homilies arranged on an interactive timeline'. This also requires theoretical work on the nature of handwriting and how it can best be described and captured systematically in digital (or any other) form.
The project began in October 2010, and is due to complete in September 2014.
The project comprises three main parts:
- The generalised web framework for the delivery of palaeographical content online.
- The database of content specific to English Vernacular minuscule of the eleventh century.
- A series of print publications which put this content into practice for our understanding of English Vernacular minuscule in particular and palaeographical method in general.
In addition to these, the project website also contains an active blog with regular articles on theoretical questions relating to the project, and a news section which contains regular updates of events and other points relating to medieval palaeography.

It may seem like a long way from a front-engine, injected car to a Lucas Oil World Championship but for Al it has simply been a logical progression. "You race a long time and set goals and to finally win a championship is, honestly, beyond my wildest dreams." And the key to his success in 2012 was simple. "Everything just fell my way. When I was bad on the lights the other guy was worse. If I broke out he broke out by more. All of those races, the ones that are decided by one or two thousandths of a second all seemed to fall my way this year." Then there was the Las Vegas race which was pivotal in Al's race to the championship. "There were a couple of pretty good racers by the name of Stefan Kondolay and Luke Bogacki who could still beat me, and we heard different versions about who would win if we
Besides having everything fall into place at the Vegas event Al says that the key to his championship season was also the fact that the team had some good luck and some very good equipment. "Plus we had a lot of input from some very good racers." That would include, but not be limited to Jeg Coughlin and Gary Stinnett. "They wouldn't necessarily say do this or that but they would ask why we did or didn't do certain things. With the record those two have when they speak you better listen." In addition to the assistance from the mental side Gary also helps with the teams engines. "He just does such a good job and when we decided that we wanted to go fast he was the first guy who came to mind."

Breakthrough In Printed Electronics
A world first in volume printed integrated electronics circuits was exhibited at the recent Plastics Electronics trade fair in Frankfurt. The Institute for Print and Media Technology at Chemnitz University in Germany has developed a new process that enables electronic circuitry to be produced with mass printing technology. The new process will enable the mass production of very cheap integrated circuitry in paper and cardboard and can be expected to have massive consequences in manufacturing, the future of RFID and the blurring of the line between printed objects and the virtual world.The first practical applications are expected to be electronic printed maps and printed paper keyboards, closely followed by labels for clothing, luggage, packaging, ticketing and after that … almost anything.

Predicting the future with anything is often not worth trying. If you look back, how much has really changed over the past 10 years? The answer is pretty much everything. This includes the automotive world. Now we are using electric and hybrid cars more and more with many automobile manufactures going away from the "only gas powered market." This blog looks at where we might be turn to in the future. It covers everything regarding automotive repair as well as self-driving cars and what are the main positives and negatives moving into a world of the unknown.
Many people have their own opinion when it comes to self-driving cars. There are obvious advantages that come with that but also not everyone would feel safe in an environment when they have so little control. For those of you who commute, imagine been able to get 45 minutes extra work done. That time is priceless on your commute. Or even, an extra 45 minutes rest on your way into work. After your day is done you can completely "switch off" and maybe listen to your music after a long day at work. Instead of that dreaded traffic you can now lay back and relax and let the car take you home. Your very own personal chauffeur who takes you to and from everywhere you need to be.
Also, safety is a huge plus. There would be no reason to drink and drive. Texting and driving or driving while distracted would also become a thing of the past. A lot of accidents on our roads come because of manual error, and not through the fault of a vehicle.
With the advantages come the fears. At first, it would be uneasy for somebody to completely give control of the vehicle to a computer. But after a while, the technology will be seen as normal. Our kids and their kids will soon not know any different. They will be born with a computer driving them to wherever they need to go. Its scary, but I think its the future. Also, what happens when it comes to automotive repair on these self-driving cars? The technology will be so far advanced it will require only the best automotive technicians. The industry as a whole is already ran by technology and keeping up to date but this is nothing to what it will be a few years from now.
We would love to hear your thoughts on this. Are your kids ever going to need to learn how to drive? And if not, would you feel safe sending them out with technology controlling their fate. Its a debate that will rage on for many years to come but whether we like it or not, the future is going to happen.

Towards the end of 2010 I am shining a light on the bloggers of State of Search, the ones who are providing us with great content. I take a look at what they wrote, asked them how their year was and what their expectations for 2011 are. A digital thank you for their work.
Today Barry Adams takes the stand. Barry is the only State of Search blogger I have never met in person. Yet it feels as if we are friends, since we've been communicating over the web for a few years now. And Barry is the kind of person who doesn't let you down. He might have some rough edges sometimes when it comes to opinions, he is a guy who stands for his opinions, even if that means he'll have to eat is hat when he is wrong. I've seen Barry grow from someone eager to become a name in the industry to someone who is a solid and well respected SEO. And I'm proud of that!
A few questions
I asked Barry the same questions about 2010 and 2011 as I did the other bloggers:
What was your highlight of 2010?
Proposing to my fiancée probably wins by a considerable margin. Especially when she said 'yes'. 🙂
What was the thing you least liked of 2010?
I think overall I had a pretty decent 2010. Sure there were some things that I'd rather not have happened, but such is life. Looking back I'd say 2010 was a pretty good year.
What was your best post on State of Search in 2010?
Regarding my own blog posts, there's a couple I'm pretty happy with: "Google, The Internet, and Artificial Intelligence" is a geeky ramble that I enjoyed writing. "The Definitive Guide to Image Optimisation" was also good fun and very educational for me when I did the research for it. But my personal favourite has to the "The State of Search for News".
What are your expectations for 2011?
I expect (hope!) to get married to my lovely fiancée in a flawless ceremony surrounded by family and close friends. Other than that I expect Google to continue pulling surprises out of its hat, Bing to continue to work hard to close the gap, and governments and entrenched institutions around the world to continue to fight a doomed struggle against the relentless progress of internet technology and the freedom that it brings.
His posts
Barry is smart not to point out just one post as his favorite post, since there were so many good ones. I agree that "The State of Search for News" is the best one but you know me, there is always more. "SEO: Back to Basics" was a popular one amongst the readers, as was "Understanding Search Engines" and I personally really liked "The Problem with Testing in SEO".
Barry, thank you very much for your work, and for sticking with us. I hope 2011 will be wonderful for you and the future mrs Adams. Congratulations on that and let's finally meet up next year!

Last year, many New Jersey school districts sought to close their budget gaps by laying off school librarians. It was heartbreaking to hear about the layoffs as those school librarians were let go as a way to reduce "administrative overhead". It's one of my hindsight regrets of last year that I did not try to do more to bring their plight out into the open as part of the greater statewide advocacy efforts.
This morning, I got a link posted to my Facebook wall by a friend pointing to an article in the LA Times entitled, "The disgraceful interrogation of L.A. school librarians". Here's a snippet:
Some 85 credentialed teacher-librarians got layoff notices in March. If state education cuts end up being as bad as most think likely, their only chance to keep a paycheck is to prove that they're qualified to be transferred into classroom teaching jobs.
Since all middle and high school librarians are required to have a state teaching credential in addition to a librarian credential, this should be an easy task — except for a school district rule that makes such transfers contingent on having taught students within the last five years.
To get the librarians off the payroll, the district's attorneys need to prove to an administrative law judge that the librarians don't have that recent teaching experience. To try to prove that they do teach, the librarians, in turn, come to their hearings with copies of lesson plans they've prepared and reading groups they've organized.
It's when these teacher-librarians are under cross examination by the Los Angeles United School District attorneys that the real outrage commences. The strives that the lawyers take to attempt to prove that time spent teaching in the library does not qualify as classroom instruction is truly extraordinary and despicable. It is an affront to the proven role that school librarians play in the overall education process. If these attorneys can prove that teaching in the library does not count as classroom teaching, what sort of fate awaits other similarly situated school librarians around the country when the budget comes up?
Reading through the article, it makes me sad, frustrated, and angry. There is a myopic vision of education at work here that is absolutely maddening. It's an emphasis on the rigid classroom format versus the more open ended exploration and curiosity of the school library. I'd go on about teaching towards tests and standards, but I think it might result in me tearing my keyboard in half like a phonebook. (Yes, I did consider how that might work and still thought it would be possible. I am a creative guy.) It's just damned stupid.
There is also a first hand account of the proceedings by blogger Mizz Murphy entitled, "Settle in. It's a Long One." I won't even quote it; you just have to read it. After I read the part labeled Scenario One, I thought I might just lose my mind. Really, go back up the paragraph and click on the link. It's worth the read in its entirety.
After that, settle in. The fight for school librarians looks to be a long one.

This darling little quilt marks the fourth in our Mini Quilt of the Month series. Each month this year we are bringing you a pattern for a new mini quilt. These small projects are the perfect way to learn a new skill and make something beautiful in the process. To see all of our Mini Quilts so far, please click here.
For April we decided to do something in celebration of Springtime and inspired by nature. We all fell in love with the idea of a graphic image of root veggies growing in the ground using bright bold colors. The nature of this quilt makes it a perfect introduction to the world of machine applique which involves no turning under of seams or other tricky techniques. It's just a simple, straightforward way to sew on any shape in a tidy manner. It feels like making a fun fabric collage. It's a great technique to learn if you're new to the sewing machine because it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
This quilt will make such a beautiful wall hanging, perfect for a kitchen or nursery. The full color step-by-step printed pattern, complete with full size templates for all the veggies, is available here. – Molly
Fabric for the Background and Binding
- 1/2 yard Linen for the soil
- 3/4 yard Robert Kaufman's Kona Cotton, Azure for the sky
Fabric for the Backing
- 3/4 yard Moda Muslin 45″ 200 count, Natural
Fabric for the Veggie Leaves
- Purl Soho Spectrum Bundle, Emerald
Fabric for the Veggies
- 1/2 yard cotton fabric in an assortment of solid colors, dots, and stripes
You will also need . . .
- Crib size Quilter's Dream Natural Request Dream Cotton Batting
- 100% cotton thread in coordinating colors
- DMC Pearl Cotton Embroidery Thread – #8, color B5200
- 1 yard fusible interfacing
- A Vegetable Patch Mini Quilt Pattern
- A Hera Marker
- Quilter's Curved Safety Pins
25 by 36 inches
Cut + Prep
Cut the Sky fabric into a 18-inch by 25-inch piece. Repeat with the Soil fabric. Sew these pieces together along one of their long sides with a 1/2-inch seam allowance and press the seam allowance towards the dark fabric.
Cut out all of the vegetable and leaf templates.
You will be cutting the Leave from the Spectrum Bundle and the Vegetables from the assortment of solid, dot and striped fabrics. Reference the picture of the finished quilt on the cover of the pattern for inspiration.
For each template cut the fusible interfacing and the fabric you want to use into a rectangle or square a little bigger than the template.
Iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the fabric securely and then trace the template onto the right side of the fabric with a pencil.
Carefully cut out the traced template, cutting just inside the traced lines.
Do this for each template.
Arrange all of the cut pieces onto the right side of the blue and brown quilt top as shown with the veggies laying on top of their leaves to hide the bottom ends. Make sure all of the pieces are neatly cut out and that you like the placement of each.
Put the cut out vegetable pieces aside. Carefully pin the leaves to the quilt top in the exact location you will want them on the finished quilt. Make sure the bottom of each leaf piece dips into the brown soil section of the quilt top just a bit (you will be sewing the veggies on top to hide these ends later).
Now for the zig-zag applique! You might want to test this process on some scrap fabric before you dive in. You can use a regular presser foot, but if you have an applique foot this is a good time to use it.
Thread the machine with the green thread in the top and blue thread in the bobbin.
Using a small, close zig zag stitch, approximately 1/16-inch wide sew one of the leaf templates down around it's raw edges. You should be sewing right at the edge so that the outer zig is just on the outside of the leaf and the inside zag is firmly sewing through the leaf fabric.
When you get to a sharp turn leave the needle down, lift up the foot and pivot the quilt top, then continue sewing.
Applique all of the leaves on in this manner and then press the quilt top flat.
Next, thread the bobbin with brown thread. Pin the radishes on first making sure to place them so that they hide the ends of their stems.
Using the red thread in the top zig zag applique the radishes in the same manner you did for the leaves.
Pin the vegetables on as you sew them. Always use the brown thread in the bobbin but use the yellow thread in the top for the onion, garlic bulb, garlic flower, carrot, and turnips. Use the red thread in the top for the radishes and the beet.
Press the quilt top when you are done sewing on all of the veggies.
Press the muslin and cut it and the batting to be 40-inches by 27-inches. Lay the muslin on a flat clean surface tape it's corners down with masking tape to get it taut and flat. Lay the batting on top of the muslin. Lay the quilt, right side up, on top of that. This is your quilt sandwich.
Using curved safety pins, pin all three layers, the muslin, the batting, and the top, together every few inches across the entire area of the quilt.
Using a Hera Marker or other temporary fabric marker, mark the blue section of the top with vertical lines, every two inches. Skip over the leaves and only mark in the blue section.
Using the yellow thread in the bobbin and the blue thread in the top quilt across these vertical lines backstitching or using a very small stitch length and the beginning and end of each seam. When you come to a safety pin take it out. Do not quilt over the appliqued sections, only along the blue fabric.
Mark the brown section of the quilt in a similar manner but with 2-inch apart horizontal lines. Skip over the appliquéd vegetable sections.
Using the brown thread in the top and keeping the yellow thread in the bobbin quilt along these lines, backstitching or using a very small stitch length at the beginning and end of each seam. Do not quilt over any of the appliquéd sections.
Once the piece is quilted trim the muslin and the batting to match the top.
Bind the quilt using the remaining blue fabric. For this quilt you will need a piece together binding strip that is at least 130-inches long.
If you haven't bound a quilt before please visit the binding instructions from our January Mini Quilt of the Month: Courthouse Steps here. This quilt (and all quilts!) can be bound in exactly the same manner. Once you get to the story, scroll down near the end to the sections called "Prepare the Binding" and "Bind the Quilt".
After you're done with the binding there is still one more step: embroidering the onion roots.
Cut an 18-inch length of the embroidery thread and thread it into an embroidery needle. Tie a small knot at the end of the thread. To hide this end knot and start your embroidery pull the needle through the top and batting layers (but don't go through to the back) and pull it out at the point you want to start your embroidery, at the bottom of the onion Then, with a gentle tug, pull the end knot inside the fabric hiding it between the layers of the quilt.
Using a back stitch, embroider three small roots at the bottom of the onion. Embroider only through the top layer of the quilt, do not stitch through to the back.
Hide your end knot in the same manner that you hid the starting knot.

I was having dinner with a couple of friends for one's birthday and we were in Latonia/Covington heading for Newport for the evening. So rather than head to some same old same old Newport on the Levee restaurant we decided to hit a classic of Covington - Walt's Hitching Post.
I've driven by Walt's 100x and always wanted to go - it's just one of those places that I'm fascinated by! Now - let it be known - this is NOT the same Hitching Post in Hyde Park. This Hitching Post looks like the old school old people restaurant. It definitely is that!
I went a couple of weeks ago - so my memory of the meal is a bit off - but I do remember a few things...
THE BREAD THE BREAD THE BREAD!!! They start you with a basket of salted rye - and it's pre-buttered even! This is the most amazing bread - it's warm, a little toasted and has big hunks of pretzel salt on the edges. John and I are a bit embarrassed by the fact that we ate one basket EACH!!!! OMG - ummmm...that's a lot of damn bread! But it was sooooo good. I can't wait for more of that!
The side dishes were average - the salad was very average. I did get Mac & Cheese as a side and it was tasty - but come on - when isn't Mac & Cheese tasty????
I was in the mood for cow and so I ordered myself a big honkin' steak! I ordered the petite ribeye rare/medium rare and it was cooked PERFECTLY!
My friend's orders were both good as well - John got salmon which also looked delicious and my friend Lou ordered a hamburger and actually ate it! She's THE PICKIEST EATER ever - so a hamburger that she'll eat - definitely a bonus! (Her blog is called "My Weblog" and is linked from my site.)
Their specialty is ribs but none of us were in the mood...but I'd definitely go back for the steak. It was about $14.95 (I think) and was perfect! Plus they had my favorite condiment for steak - Worcestershire sauce - I can't say it but I can spell it!
Next time I want a great steak - or maybe ribs - I'm definitely heading back - and I'm getting my own basket of bread!
I think I'll give it a 3 - if the sides were better I'd bump it up...

One of the highlights of the Summer Entrepreneurship Food Program that is hosted by Wright College and Eli's Cheesecake for a select group of students from the Chicago High School of Agricultural Sciences is a guest
speaker from the food industry each week.
This week, we were honored to welcome Jim Slama, the President of Sustain, which is one of the country's leading
non-profit organizations working for a healthy environment. For the past few years Sustain has been supporting the growth of a regional food system in the Midwest by establishing markets for many organic and sustainable family farms inIllinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
One of Sustain's most successful programs is FamilyFarmed.org, which includes a website, food label, and EXPO to support Midwestern organic farmers by connecting them with consumers and commercial buyers. FamilyFarmed.org creates sustainable economic development, builds community, and contributes to a healthy environment by encouraging people to buy food from local producers.
Jim made a tremendous committment to expanding opportunities for small farms and other producers with his editing of "Organic Harvest," an action plan for local, organic and family farmed foods. The report can be downloaded at http://familyfarmed.org/

County Sligo
Benbulben is Ireland's most distinctive mountain and known in some parts as Ireland's version of Table Mountain. It is the result from the different responses to erosion of the limestone and shale of which the mountain is formed. A hard and resistant limestone forms the upper cliffs and precipices. Many legends and tales have been woven round the almost magical mountain that is Benbulben. Mysterious shady valleys dominate the landscape in this upland alpine-like region.

His heart was attracted to doing good for his fellow, and he dedicated himself to communal affairs with his whole heart. He was a member of various committees in the community. He was one of the most active of the builders of the new hospital, in the Ezrat Aniim (Assistance for the Poor) committee, etc.
He did not merit in enjoying the fruits of his labor. The communal institutions to which he dedicated the best of his time were destroyed. He fell as a victim of the Holocaust.
[Page 162]
May his memory be a blessing.
[Page 162]
Avraham David and Faya Katz
Rivka Katz (daughter of Avraham and Faya)
He was one of the progressive members of the group of tradesman. He was a dealer in fine furniture. He was one of the leaders in this realm, and his products were in demand by those who appreciated modern style. He earned his livelihood for his eight member family in an honorable fashion, and he educated his children in a progressive national spirit. During his time, he was appointed as an adjured judge in the regional court. When he saw a group forming to make aliya to the land, he joined the group, but for various reasons, he was not among the actualizers. He responded to any national or local appeal in a generous fashion.
His children prepared to make aliya when they grew up.
His oldest son Itzik did not succeed in obtaining a certificate for aliya, so he immigrated to Argentina.
Later, three of the children made aliya. The parents made aliya in 1935, and the family was reunited in Hadera (except for their daughter Rivka who got married to a young man from Akkerman and established her family there.)
On account of the difficulties of absorption and the weak state of health of the head of the family, they had to go back.
They wished to establish themselves and live near their daughter Rivka, who gave birth to their first grandchild. However, fate was cruel to them, and Rivka and her family fell at the outset of the Holocaust, before they were able to escape from the enemy. The old and weary parents found out about this tragedy after they returned to Kishinev from their wanderings in the expanse of Russia. The disaster weighed heavily on them and they were not able to recover from it.
They died in Kishinev in 1945.
[Page 162]
His son Avraham was graced with a similar sharp grasp and talent. He was educated in the national tradition, faithful to the nation. Avraham joined the Bund socialist movement in our city, and even served as its head. Avraham dedicated himself to this movement with all his energy and youthful enthusiasm. At times, the Jewish youth were lost in their way and were given over to the ideological confusion that pervaded the Jewish street at that time. Avraham knew how to guard the national values, and everything that took place in the Jewish community was dear to him. When he was once invited by the activists in our city to become involved in communal affairs, and was even asked to be in second place on the list for the elections of the town council, he responded positively. He displayed great dedication and ability in protecting the affairs of the Jewish community through a strong struggle with the Zionist reactionary forces in the Jewish community and the general community. Through his activities he was able to realize his error (regarding solving the Jewish national problem through autonomy in their places of exile), and he recanted. One day we found out in our city that Avraham was going to scope out the Land (in 1929). He toured its length and breadth for an entire month. His wonder knew no bounds. When he returned, he found various opportunities to tell about its social and economic achievements, and from that time forward he joined the ranks of the activists of the Zionist movement with his typical enthusiasm.
His home was a meeting place for anyone who entered. I recall the pleasant evenings that I spent in his home, the politeness, and his various statements that won him renown. I will always recall this fine spirit. It is unfortunate that all of this disappeared, and he is no longer Avraham and his noble family have been cut off.
May these lines serve as a discrete monument to these fine souls!
Y. Torkanovsky
[Page 163]
He was drafted into the Russian army at the outbreak of WWI. He was at the front. He excelled and received high recognition. Later, he finished the school for captains.
He went to Paris in 1920 where he was active in the Meeting Place of the Independents. Among other things, he drew the portrait of the Romanian professor Yorga and of the poet from his hometown David Knott. The portrait of the latter was displayed in the Autumn Meeting place in Paris with great success.
He arranged an exhibition of his portraits (80 in total) in the Osman gallery in 1932. He also exhibited at the large international exhibition in Paris in 1937. About a year later, his creations were displayed in the international exhibition in Chicago.
He gave some of his creations as a gift to one of the museums in Paris.
Arkadi was a faithful artist, but he kept separate from the group. He even refused to meet with his good friends, so as not to impose himself on them. Arkadi lived in poverty and straits, and did not want to arouse the pity of his friends. He did not want them to help him as he did not want to become a burden on them.
Arkadi, the splendid dresser, lived the life of an ascetic. He did not smoke, ate little and spoke little. He was refined and he kept to himself. He died alone and was buried on October 9, 1941 in Paris.

Yechiel Leyderberg
Yechiel was orphaned at a young age. Nevertheless, he studied diligently and obtained wide knowledge in literature, especially in Yiddish literature. He even took to writing poems, and served as a writer in the Jewish newspaper in Bessarabia (Unzer Zeit).
Yechiel, full of suffering and orphaned in his youth, felt for the suffering of his fellowman and did the best to help anyone. When he was still in the fourth year in gymnasium, he volunteered to guide the working youth in reading and even to actually teach them. He had an open heart, understanding of the situation of impoverished students.
This fine and noble soul bore the burden of his orphan hood even in his adulthood. If only my mother were alive and I had grown up in her bosom and had benefited from her care, I would have been stronger physically and I would have been able to join the chalutz movement like many of my friends, and be among the builders of the Land he said. Yechiel was not a Zionist in the common sense of the term, but he was faithful to the nation, and aliya to the Land was in his opinion a good solution for the masses of Jews. Whenever he accompanied a group of friends on their way to make aliya to the Land, his eyes filled with tears and he parted from them with deep anguish. I did not merit being among those making aliya
He expressed his longing for the Land of Israel in his poems.
His weak body and refined soul were swept away in the storm of the Holocaust.
May his memory be guarded in our heart.

Moshe and Perl Lemberg (parents of Motel)
Motel Lemberg (son of Moshe and Perl)
My father Moshe the son of Mordechai Lemberg was born in Yampol in 1867. He lived in Orheyev from 1890. He served as the prayer leader for many years in the Great Synagogue and also in the Tolner Synagogue. He was one of the scholars of our town. He remained in Orheyev at the time that the rest of the family fled. He trusted that G-d would save him and the house of Israel. He was murdered along with all the residents in 1941.
My mother Perl the daughter of Leib and Leah Korenfeld (nee Ribokoli) was born in Rybnitsa in 1876. She lived in Orheyev from 1897.
During the time of the Holocaust, she fled with my brother Motel and my sisters Ester and Rachel. They reached Uzbekistan. She lost her son Motel during the war, and returned after the war to Orheyev with her sister, broken and crushed. She died and was buried in Orheyev on 24 Tammuz 5716 (July 25, 1954).
[Page 164-166]
When he was still young, his parents moved to a village in the area of Orheyev, where his father accepted a job as an accounting director in a liquor factory. His father had to sustain and educate the family on a very meager salary. Itzele displayed his talents while still a schoolboy. His father later moved to the city, where Itzele completed the public school and was accepted as an apprentice in the office of the lawyer Gozshteyn at the age of 14. The refined, handsome boy with dark, brilliant eyes attracted the heart of anyone who came into contact with him. After some time, he moved to the home of the lawyer Moshe Ravich. Itzel endeared himself to the Ravich family and those who came into their home. He simultaneously continued to study in a private fashion. When the loan and credit fund for small scale merchants was created at the end of 1906, he transferred to work there. Milshteyn saw in this communal enterprise the seed of an important social institution and a wide field of activity for him, therefore he forewent the good conditions in the Ravich household and satisfied himself with little, so that he could study and understand from close up the field of communal work that was dear to his heart.
His first job in the loan fund was as the assistant to the accounting director. However, after several months, he entered into the depths of the matters of the loan fund, and when the director of accounting left the loan fund, Milshteyn was asked to fill the role of chief accountant. He displayed exceptional initiative and diligence, like a veteran and experienced professional. He maintained the accounting ledgers of the loan fund, and created interest tables that were used as templates by many loan funds in their work. His name became known publicly and he earned great public acclaim.
In 1909, fate offered him an experience that seemingly became a decisive factor in his life. The New York international insurance agency set up branches throughout all areas of Russia. Milshteyn took it upon himself to direct the branch in our city, and put in the best of his abilities and initiative. At that time, the company conducted a competition to study more effective organizational practices in the matters of insurance in Russia, and promised eight prizes for excellent work. 19 year old Milshteyn participated in the competition and won first prize.
Yitzchak ben Avraham Milshteyn
He was drafted to the army during WWI in 1914, and received a medal of excellence.
In 1916, Milshteyn was invited to the city of Yekatrinoslav by the committee for the assistance of refugees in Russia in order to organize the assistance for the refugees of the war. Simultaneously, he arranged cooperative shops for the needs of the Jewish communities in the region of Yekatrinoslav, and also stores for the sale of wheat to the Russian army. He also fulfilled the role of director of the loan funds in those settlements through the agencies of the Y. K. A.
In 1917, the committee for the assistance of refugees organized a committee whose job it was to organize assistance through credit and productive work for a number of areas outside the Pale of Settlement. Milshteyn was invited to Moscow to direct this important activity.
Milshteyn returned to Bessarabia in 1920 and joined the active committee that was headed by Nachum Roitman of blessed memory, a particularly prominent personality in the Jewish communities of Bessarabia, to organize a union of Jewish cooperatives in Bessarabia. Milshteyn researched and examined every loan fund that was still functioning, searched and gathered material from remote forgotten archives, met with past and present activists, and organized and reestablished the destroyed loan funds.
The communal work in the Jewish communities of the center and south of Romania was conducted primarily by philanthropic organizations. With his leadership talents and persuasive abilities, he succeeded in transferring the assistance which was fundamentally philanthropic to the realm of independent and mutual assistance. He gathered the best of the activists around the idea of cooperation. Through his leadership, loan funds were set up in the cities of Bucharest, Iasi, Botosani, Harlau, and others. He also played a significant role in the founding of loan funds in the cities of Cluj and Sighet in Transylvania.
Thanks to his initiative, the active organization of national loan funds and the accounting division were organized, and independent loan funds in various localities were established. He conducted a comprehensive census among the Jewish farmers and artisans. Toward the end, he conducted successful work in improving the status of the loan funds that had endured the difficult depression of 1929-1932.
Milshteyn excelled in his ability to express himself clearly and persuade people both orally and in writing. While he was still young, he published articles on various economic and cooperative topics at the invitation of the editors of the Russian economic publication Vestnik Znani. He also published many articles and feuillitons (ed. note: short stories that are published as serials) in the Yiddish Dos Cooperative Vort.
Despite his prime activities in his responsible role as director of the foundation, the Joint asked him to direct its social institutions in Bessarabia and Romania. He dedicated a great deal of his time to the ORT and Azeh trade schools in Kishinev, and summer institutions for children and teachers. He worked at all of these without expectation of remuneration. He did not desist from assisting charitable organizations and individual needy people. He extended goodhearted and generous assistance to them.
Indeed, our city merited to have a sublime person who was born into a family of workers, and grew up and became a man who forged paths as he directed cooperatives for Jewish workers throughout Romania.
He was a refined, goodhearted man who dedicated all of his days to the improvement of the society, the society of workers and the oppressed. He was uprooted from his family and from the society to which he dedicated his entire essence and sent to Siberia, where he died
May these lines serve as a monument to a dear man, a man of great action, whose wonderful and honorable name will be guarded in the hearts of Orheyev natives forever
M. Rotkov
It is not easy for me to write my memories of Yitzchak Milshteyn. This will not be about Yitzchak Milshteyn himself, for who knew Yitzchak Milshteyn? Isaak Abramovitz was the name by which he was known to everyone. He was accepted, honored and loved by all circles in Jewish Bessarabia and all circles outside of that with whom he came into contact.
Approximately 14 years have passed since I last saw him. I came to Kishinev in response to his urgent request for consultations on matters of the central bank and cooperative institutions in Romania institutions of the Foundation in Kishinev that was directed by both of us. These were the days of WWII, and the atmosphere was tense. Nazi vassals ruled Romania, and in Bessarabia, they waited each minute for the entry of the Russians. At the end of our meeting, Milshteyn expressed his regret that I must return to Bucharest, where trials and tribulations under the anti-Semitic government that is drawing close to Nazism await me; whereas he will remain in Bessarabia where the Russians will come and everyone will be free
First and foremost, Milshteyn offered his own contribution generously. His great experience, his outstanding intelligence, his understanding of how to deal with people, his work ethic and talents everything that was within him he dedicated to the needs of the Jewish community. People heeded his words, paid attention to his reasoning and his conclusions were often accepted even by his opponents, and of course by his followers and admirers. He knew how to break down matters to their fundamentals and to place matters in their proper perspective. He knew how to convince those assembled, if not by straight logic then by brief targeted parables, if not by proofs then by single-sentence sharp witticisms. A compromise down the middle, a speech of a disputant, a light witticism that elicited general laughter would weaken all effects of opposition and often decide the status of a dispute. He was quick in both his decisions and actions. He knew how to forge a compromise in difficult circumstances. He knew how to assist those in need at the time of difficulty both in deed and with advice. The masses paid attention to his advice which was full of wisdom, insight and foresight. When he stood at the crossroads of life, when his fate and the fate of his family required quick and decisive action, the wise and experienced Isaak Abramovitz who was full of foresight did not know what was forthcoming. He remained in Kishinev full of hope, certain of his future.
Milshteyn engaged in the activity of reviving the Jewish cooperatives in Bessarabia after WWI with great dedication and diligence. He ran from city to city in his search for human and physical material to establish the cooperatives. He brought out activists from their alleyways, camps and workplaces, forced them to forget their own daily worries, and appointed them to head the cooperatives the centers of general concern. He brought out books, documents and papers from cellars and storehouses, dusted off the cobwebs, cleaned the dust of years from them, and restored them to new life. He was one of the first and the most active of the people who renewed the cooperative movement of Bessarabian Jewry after WWI.
He was one of the founders and chief activists of the supervisory committee of the Jewish cooperatives of Bessarabia that became with the passage of time an example for other parts of Romania, as well as for other countries such as Poland, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, etc.
While he was still busy with his work of strengthening the supervisory committee in Bessarabia, the Foundation and the Joint appointed him as their delegate. He became the delegate for the assistance money for the Jewish community that was arriving from America and England. However, he never ceased being the spokesman for the Jewish community and its institutions to the worldwide assistance and productive help organizations.
As a representative of the Foundation, the role of Milshteyn was great in the organization of the cooperative movement in other parts of Romania. As in Bessarabia, he did not know what difficulties and obstacles were, and did not begrudge his time and energy to attain the goal. Similarly, at a later time, he dedicated himself to repairing the cooperative in Czechoslovakia. We saw him act with the same dedication in organizing assistance to the victims of floods and droughts organizing assistance for the refugees and supervising the day to day activities of the communal institutions and populist endeavors of all forms.
The Russians entered Bessarabia a few days after our parting. Isaak Abramovitz was imprisoned a day or two later. He endured a long journey from Bessarabian Kishinev to far off Siberia, where he passed away alone and forlorn, far from his family, friends and acquaintances, far from the cities and towns of Bessarabia and their residents to whom he dedicated most of the days of his life and a significant part of himself.
In far away, cold Siberia, without a warm environment, without friends and acquaintances, isolated from society, this man of life and society Isaak Abramovitz Milshteyn spent his last days and months. Who knows what his final journey was that ended his life and who accompanied him. However, his memory remains alive among Bessarabian Jewry. Every historian, every chronicler of days gone by who tells about life in Jewish Bessarabia during the first half of the 20th century must give an honorable place to Isaak Abramovitz Milshteyn, who lived his life in such a manner and participated in no small manner in forging that life.
To his wife and two children in Israel, to his friends and admirers in Israel and the Diaspora, may the knowledge that the man did not live, act and suffer for nothing serve as a comfort.

SALVADOR DALÍ (Spanish) (1904 – 1989)
At Art School in Madrid the most notorious of all the surrealists displayed a precocious dexterity in his studies. He had a genuine gift for the manipulation of imagery and when he went to Paris in 1928 and Míro presented him to the surrealists he quietly established himself as the dazzling newcomer from whom everything could be expected. As a student he was influenced by Freud, which made him interpret not only his dreams but everything that happened to him. He took surrealism still further to simulate a form of 'reasoning madness' by which he could explore hidden meanings behind its common place appearances. In the 'Persistence of Memory' (1931) the idea of melting watches occurred to him when he was eating ripe Camembert cheese. Many have seen in it a fear of impotence. (Whatever may be the interpretation the inescapable fact is that its jewel-like finish and extraordinary draftmanship reminds one of great Italian masters. Dalí himself was a great admirer of Da Vinci.) Just as he was quick to be identified with the surrealism he dissociated from it in 1938. He had turned to classicism discribing his change of direction as a 'religious Renaissance based on a progressive Catholicism'. Equally fluent in words as in paintings Dalí contributed much to his popular image as a personality – as well as an artist – of considerable controversy. As André Breton put it, the time came when Dalí could not tell the sound of his own voice from the creak of his patent-leather shoes.
In retro: He was the only artist who could understand Theory of Relativity, in all probability more than Einstein himself. Einstein of course wasn't an artist. This Spaniard was a genius. A genius these days has to sell himself as a product. As in the case of Salvador he played a mountebank, a clown with his waxed moustache, patent leather shoes and toadies. This is what is called dillyDalíing.

For reporters, the moral of the story is "ask and you will receive."
The LA Times asked state corrections officials for a Charile Manson mug shot. On Wednesday they got one. It shows a heavier, balder, still bushy-eybrowed convicted mass murder on his last legs.
Here's the shot and a story.

You can frequently tell the nature of the political commercial based on whether the first few frames of video are in color or black and white. Thus, when the latest spot in the race for Attorney General ran with San Francisco DA Kamala Harris in a photo, smiling but sans chrome, I knew what to expect.
The Democratic candidate was being taken to task for not seeking the dealth penalty in the case of a San Francisco police officer who had been murdered by an assault gun wielding gang member. While various aspects of the story were in color (the victm's mother, the funeral photo) Harris never got beyond gray.
What was interesting to the political eye wasn't so much the commercial but from where it came: "The Republican State Leadership Committee."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
This wasn't a "hit piece" from Republican Steve Cooley. This was an "independent expenditure" from a group that was first put together by the GOP in 2002 to help build some bench strength in the party. The RSLC is the brainchild of former Bush White House advisor Ed Gullespie. The focus was to raise money to help elect Republicans to the state offices that don't get as much attention as the race for governor or Senate. Millions have been raised to spend in campaigns for the state legislature, lieutenant governor, attorney general, treasurer and the like.
But besides getting younger Republicans elected, there is also the addition effect of helping snuff out the political futures of the other party's "down-ballot" candidates. Keep them from gaining traction in the lower office and you won't need to worry about them when they seek the higher one.
Kamala Harris is a perfect example. There is no mystery why an expected $1.3 million will be spent to defeat her on election day. She is young, bright, African American, very attractive, an effective communicator with an interesting background. And although Harris carries the baggage of being a San Francisco liberal she is exactly what the opposition party doesn't want to run against down the road. Beat her now or face her in a race for governor some day.
Adam Temple, a spokesman for the group, says he would be perfectly happy with the "byproduct" of Harris' defeat. He points out however that Republicans are interested in state attorney generals who will challenge federal mandates that are part of the Obama health care reform act. Harris says she won't. Cooley says he will consider it.
On Monday, the Harris campaign announced it would file a complaint against the Republican group with the Fair Political Practices Commission. They contend most of the donations for the RSLC come from oil and tobacco companies and thus should be disclosed in the ads.
Temple counters that there are over 100,000 donors to the Republican group. What is certain is that no longer are the lesser candidate off the national radar. No longer satisfied with going after the big leaguers now both parties are focusing their attention on the farm clubs as well.

If help is needed, a retiring Fayette village worker is willing to lend a hand.
Tom Rupp told village council members last week at the committee-of-the-whole meeting that he's willing to work part-time after his impending retirement to help keep the village sewage system operational.
Rupp reminded council members of the state requirements for sewer operations and he said he could fill a gap in licensed workers.
Village maintenance supervisor Tom Clemensen agreed that it's a good idea for council to consider because he and Matt Moats have not yet obtained their licenses.
Rupp stated that he also has certification for mosquito pesticide application. His offer is to work as an independent contractor.
Clemensen told council that snow plowing procedures have been updated and will be given to maintenance personnel.
Chief of police Jason Simon suggested adding more lighting around the park concession stand due to a recent break-in. The door will have to be replaced at the building.
Advertising for a new village administrator will wait until January. In the meantime, Clemensen will continue to serve as interim administrator.
• Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the next village council meeting will be moved to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22.

"Good weekend from the guys and the girls," Harris said. "I'm proud of the way they stayed focused in the task at hand.
"We're looking forward to another good week of practice before KSU and Mercer come in on Thursday and Saturday."

#Shade: The Biggest Celebrity Twitter Beefs of 2012
Celebrities love to throw shade on Twitter, but nothing is more entertaining than when another celeb throws it right back at them. Check out the best celebrity Twitter beefs of 2012.
Chrissy Teigen v. Team Breezy
Team Breezy is agro. All Chrissy said during the Billboard Music Awards this year was that Chris Brown's performance wasn't great. Is that really enough reason to threaten to kill a chick? They got so out of line that Breezy had to come in and calm things down. Some people are too crazy to handle 140 characters.

Didnt prefer tire selection available as after-market replacement. Strong engine performance. Cross-country use provided error free operation. Would like additional features for electrical use and exterior-function. Electrical components inside cabin posed reliability issues and locked inside cabin unable to leave!
Ford Ranger Ratings, Reviews and Analysis
Ratings & Reviews
Been my primary, everyday vehicle starting 2003 to present (2014). No complaints worth mentioning except would like to have more room in the cab. Get surprisingly good gas mileage. Appears to be as reliable as Toyota Tacoma. Cheaper to fix and maintain too. It is really too bad they quit selling this vehicle in the US.
I thought it was a little expensive when I first got it but it has been very reliable & suited my needs
The 2003 Ford Ranger Edge is a nice looking truck that is powerful with its V6 motor with a lot of creature comforts. The biggest downfall is the Ranger Edge gets poor gas mileage compared similar trucks.
It is an extended cab pickup and I wish it would have come with the third door; access to the back is very tight. I don't like the problems it's had from the very beginning - electrical and transmission.

The end of the 2015 NFL Draft saw general manager Tom Telesco pick up an undrafted kicker in Josh Lambo. Current placekicker Nick Novak re-signed with the team in 2013 on a four-year, $6.6 million deal. Yet, I wondered, why a kicker?
We all know that Novak is one of the top players at his position. The only place it appears his game is lacking is on kickoffs. So then I decided to do some quick research on kickers and/or touchback specialists who are close to Novak in age and entered the league around the same time.
Here is what I found:
Novak, 34, has four place-kicking rivals, and they are all great at what they do. Robbie Gould (Chicago Bears, age 33), Shaun Suisham (Pittsburgh Steelers, age 34) and Mike Nugent (Cincinnati Bengals, age 33) are from the 2005 draft class. Rounding out the list is Josh Scobee (Jacksonville, age 32). Only two were drafted – Scobee in the fifth round of 2004 and Nugent was chosen in the second round of the '05 class. As of right now, Gould and Suisham are among the most accurate top-20 kickers on a list that also has six other active individuals in a minimum of five years. Mike Vanderjagt is the number one all-time, and former-Charger Nate Kaeding appears as the third. Kaeding and Gould could generally be found in the top-three during the regular season in terms of accuracy.
Looking at field goals, Novak is 120/147 and 81.6%. Gould: 243/284/85.5%; Suisham: 231/275/84%; Nugent: 190/235/80.8. Scobee (80.7%) has made the most attempts with 291, but has missed 56 of them.
When it comes to touchbacks, though, the competition is clearly different. For 2014, Nugent and Scobee both had 37; Suisham 32; Gould 21 (through 12 games) and Novak only had 10. In 2013, they were well ahead of him by 18, almost 2 to 1. While in 2012, they were all about the same and only Gould was over 30.
One other comparison I looked at was there were eight placekickers added after the 2015 draft. Four of those actually went on to sign with an NFL team: Justin Manton (rated number one) to the Baltimore Ravens, Kyle Brindzia (108 career touchbacks and who broke John Carney's single-season scoring record at Notre Dame) with the Detroit Lions, Ty Long chosen by the Washington Redskins, and Lambo.
So let's get back to that guy that Telesco signed as an undrafted free agent..
Lambo is 24 years old, 6'0″ and 220 pounds. He was a walk-on at Texas A & M, playing just two years for the Aggies. During his tenure there, he was their most accurate kicker going 111/112 extra points and 21/25 field goals, giving him a career field goal percentage of 84% (a new record for Texas A & M). In 2014, he nailed all 59 of his field goal attempts. However, Lambo's kicking duties were strictly extra point/field goal attempts, as he only kicked off twice.
While at the Combine, Lambo was 11 of 15 on field goals and showed great distance and hang time. He can be become a dangerous kicker from 40+ yards at the NFL level. The fact that he is a former MLS goalkeeper (FC Dallas from 2008-2011), as well as former US Under 17 and Under 20 soccer player with what sounds like a big leg, might be why he caught Telesco's eye. Or, he could just be a camp body.
Time will tell.
Last year, the Philadelphia Eagles had one kicker for kickoffs and another for field goals. It's not likely that the Chargers go that route. I believe, overall, they are happy with Novak's performance. Lambo has looked impressive on kickoffs during training camp and in the team's first preseason contest. But can Lambo's strong leg force the Chargers to carry two kickers on the 53-man roster?
We'll see.
What are your thoughts on this choice of Telesco's? Please share your them below.
Thanks for reading and Bolt Up!!

LePage touts education, energy plans in address
Republican governor delivers his second State of the State address
Gov. Paul LePage says his own homeless youth underscores his devotion to education as he made a case for expanding education opportunities in his State of the State address.
"No one governor, or one party, is going to move this state forward. It takes all of us," he said.
In Tuesday's speech to the Legislature and a radio and television audience, he proposes more choice for all students, not just the wealthy.
LePage says finding his next meal and a warm spot to sleep were his goals as an impoverished youth in Lewiston. But he knew education was the key to climbing out of poverty.
LePage said the state needs to focus on bringing in more new jobs.
"Job creators don't look at all 50 states; they look at the top 10, and we're not there. So we can deny it, we can keep our head in the sand, but guess what? We don't change reality," he said.
Maine Senate Majority Leader Seth Berry said the governor's numbers do not add up when it comes to unemployment and tax cuts.
"We have more families living in poverty now than when he took office. We've lost more jobs on his watch. There's 50,000 people who are out of work. We're dead last on personal income growth," Berry said.
LePage also proposes to lower Mainers' energy bills by easing access to cheap Canadian hydropower and trimming regulations for natural gas infrastructure.
He also wants to repay hospitals $484 million in Medicaid debts and proposes measures keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.
Democrats said they agree it is time to make bold action to change Maine for the better, but they said they do not see how LePage's proposed changes will work unless he is honest about what is really happening with the state.
"We continue to accept the status quos, or we can make the tough decisions, roll up our sleeves and together make the tough decisions to make Maine a better place," LePage said.
Senate and House republicans said they believe in what the governor has to offer.
"June is going to be a very tough month: it's when we're going to get down to the nitty gritty of trying to balance this budget. It's going to take a lot of hard work, a lot of give and take, but hopefully we can all be adults, sit down at the table and get the job done for the people of Maine," Maine House Minority Leader Ken Fredette said.
Democrats said they have high hopes for the upcoming session because Mainers are depending on them to make big changes.
"We know the biggest issues of our state require both parties to be involved in. We know to pass budgets, to pass bonds, we're going to need republican support," Maine Senate President Justin Alfond said.
"I'm urging this body to think of Maine families, not the special interests," LePage said Tuesday.
Democrats said they wish LePage had spoken about wanting to work together two months ago, but they do expect this to be a very productive session.
Republicans said being in the minority will make fighting for certain beliefs harder, but know the only answer is working together.
LePage met with Democrats on Monday after weeks of contentious public statements from both sides about the relationship the governor has with the legislative majority.
In advance of the governor's address, Democratic Speaker of the House Mark Eves released a YouTube video in which he said, "If we are to truly strengthen our state's economy, we need leaders who believe in Maine, trumpet our success and herald our state."

a few days ago on the facelolz i said that
It's now conclusive that I do not ask enough questions when I get stuck on things, and that this is unacceptable as it will impact my work performance. (I theorize that this ask-questions problem is why I am so mediocre at school).So! then i asked questions. turns out most of the questions were so silly they don't even merit writing down and/or I've completely forgotten them. But here today I'm writing down some notes on controls courtesy of Shane with mock-quadcopter demos by Charles (not duplicated here).
Therefore, my goal for the next two weeks is to ask at least five dumb but coherent questions a day, and as proof of that I will write the answers up on my blog.
(I am still thinking a bit as to whether this casual-question-asking will actually translate to me asking more questions when I feel like people expect me to know more than I actually do).
some of those questions were silly questions like how do i do controls in real life, as opposed to in labview on a $10,000 national instruments card.
then my brain went "speaking of things i want[ed] to do consistently to improve on skills..."
|src files. wacome graphire4 4x6, inkscape, gimp. crashlanding, caeldera, digitalstrip2 fonts from blambot. ~4.
(credit to MITERS folks for creative inspiration, including conversations with Dane about post-apocalypticc robot boxcar somethings.).
hmm. Right. controls.
Say I have a quadrotor. How would I go around implementing controls for it?
e.g. in 2.737 mechatronics class, we use a digital signal analyzer to characterize the plant. But no one tries to do that to their quadrotor. One possible way: mount quadrotor on stick, rotate it along one axis at a time. But, in real life:
Generally PD controllers.
If you didn't know that, you could model it as a mass and damper (really simple model). Small number for damping (only comes from moving through air, minimal), e.g. damping coefficient of 0.1. Don't know distribution of mass along quadrotor axis, so just model as evenly distributed -- really does not matter since will end up tuning gains empirically anyway.
Proportional controller is like a torsional spring. Bigger error, bigger control effort.
Derivative controller is like additional damping. Otherwise, with proportional controller will correct for error but then due to lack of damping will oscillate.
Start out with too little gain, because then it will fly but drift off to the side. With too much gain, it will oscillate and flip over. Then slowly increase P gain.
Converging on the gains -- a common method is Zieger-nichols. General idea is to up the P gain until it just begins to oscillate. Now up the damping (D gain) until compensate for oscillation, use some magical constants, ... that sort of thing.
PD fine for flying indoors. But outdoors, wind will cause constant offset. Need I[ntegral] term. Also helpful if one motor is weaker than others, other sources of constant error.
Bandwidth and sampling frequency.
Limitation: how fast can control code loop run on microcontroller (mcu). Mcu has system clock (16Mhz for atmega's). Rule of thumb, +-* each operation 1 clock cycle. Dividing integers four clock cycles. Floating point, tens of cycles. More margin because processor will need to respond to interrupts. This is upper bound on sampling frequency.
Lower bound, well, only need to respond to user input, and human reaction time perhaps 0.5 secs, 20 Hz. But also want to reject higher frequency noise e.g. from wind.
If calculate these and not overlap, need more efficient code or more powerful processor.
Tuning gains -- actually pilot dependent. Some people like higher gain despite closer to instability because will respond quicker to sudden turns. While people shooting video will want higher damping so that footage is smooth, okay to more slowly respond to errors in position.
Segging things are like quadrotors but with one axis instead of two.

On the trail of French literature
France is this year's Guest of Honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair. We peeked into some French literary classics and visited their scenes of action: the Paris metro, a famous island prison, a scorching beach and a mountaintop!
Pastries from Illiers
Marcel Proust: In search of lost time
the quote: "And suddenly the memory returns. The taste was that of the little crumb of madeleine which on Sunday mornings at Combray (because on those mornings I did not go out before church-time), when I went to say good day to her in her bedroom, my aunt Léonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of real or of lime-flower tea."
the place: As a child, Marcel Proust spent every Easter holiday with his aunt in Illiers, a village of 3000 souls near Chartres. He immortalized it in his monumental work In Search of Lost Time by giving it the fictitious name "Combray." On the 100th anniversary of Proust's birth in 1971, the village officially changed its name to Illiers-Combray.
reason to visit: Aunt Leonie's house, now a museum. "Most people want to see the kitchen," says Mireille Naturel, who runs it, "but my favorite thing is actually the magic lantern, an antique projector from the family's estate." Madame Naturel recommends the Guilleman bakery as the best place for madeleines. "They say it's where Aunt Léonie bought hers." For more Proustean moments, go to Le Pré Catelan park, which served as the model for the fictitious garden belonging to Monsieur Swann, and visit Saint-Jacques, the catholic church Proust called "Saint-Hilaire" in the novel.
Underground adventures in Paris
Raymond Queneau: Zazie in the Metro
the quote: "'Unkoo,' she yells, 'are we going by metro?' 'No.' 'What d'you mean, no?' She has come to a full stop. Gabriel likewise halts, puts the suitcase down and starts to iksplain: 'Well yes: no. Today, can't be done. Za strike.' 'Za strike?' 'Well yes: za strike. The metro, that eminently parisian transport, has fallen asleep under the ground, for the employees with their perforating punches have ceased to work.' 'Oo the bastards,' cries Zazie, 'oo the swine. To do that to me. (…) Blast, bloody hell.'"
the place: Paris. Raymond Queneau's very French variation on the story of Pippi Longstocking was published in 1959. Zazie, a country girl who loves to curse, embarks on a wild adventure with her cross-dressing uncle in Paris. Not much has changed since then in the French capital: Métro workers still regularly go on strike, and the typical smell that Uncle Gabriel so detested is still part of the authentic Paris experience.
reason to visit: Métro line 14, the newest, fastest and the first line to be fully automatic. Zazie would have loved watching the track from this driverless train and seeing the signs featuring a cartoon rabbit that went up in 1977 to warn passengers not to let the train's closing doors pinch their fingers.
The prison island near Marseille
Alexandre Dumas: The Count of Monte Cristo
the quote: "On the 24th of February, 1815, the look-out at Notre-Dame de la Garde signalled the three-master, the Pharaon from Smyrna, Trieste, and Naples. As usual, a pilot put off immediately, and rounding the Château d'If, got on board the vessel between Cape Morgiou and Rion island."
the place: Château d'If, a fortress on an island off the coast of Marseille. Edmont Dantès, a promising young sailor and the hero of the novel, languished there for 14 years. The fortress was used as a prison from the 16th to 19th century.
reason to visit: The opportunity to test your skills as a jailbreaker by taking part in the annual Défi de Monte Cristo, a five-kilometer swimming competition in the Mediterranean from Château d'If to Marseille's Grand Roucas beach. There's a ferry every hour from Vieux Port in Marseille to Île d'If.
Cocktails in the flickering heat
Philippe Dijan: Betty Blue
the quote: "We drove slowly up the main street with our windows halfway down. The midday sun was like peanut butter on consecrated bread."
the place: Broad, dusty expanses of sand with wooden huts built on stilts to resist the vicissitudes of the sea; beyond them, the foothills of the Pyrenees: Gruissan beach was the setting for the craziest cult love story of the 1980s. The village was built in the 19th century as a popular summer resort.
reason to visit: The magic of the place in late summer, when the beaches are emptying but the heat is still enough to addle your brain. Jean-Jacques Beineix captured it beautifully in his movie adaptation. The tequila rapido shots served on the balcony of the Le Grand Soleil, which stood in for the movie's Motel de la Plage, would be just to Betty's taste.
The miners' revolt
Émile Zola: Germinal
the quote: "The Voreux was now emerging from the gloom (…). This pit, piled up in the bottom of a hollow, with its squat brick buildings, raising its chimney like a threatening horn, seemed to him to have the evil air of a gluttonous beast crouching there to devour the earth."
the place: Zola's novel highlighting the exploitation of the working class and the consequences of industrialization is based on the actual coalminers' rebellion in Anzin in 1884.
reason to visit: The 120 000-hectare coalfield with its mineshaft towers, railroad tracks, stations and mining villages along the Franco-Belgian border, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2012. Valenciennes tourist office runs a tram tour complete with anecdotes about Zola's stay and information about Anzin and its surroundings
France's most famous adulteress
Gustave Flaubert: Madame Bovary
the quote: "Yonville-l'Abbaye (…) is a market-town eight leagues from Rouen, between the Abbeville and Beauvais roads, (…) the lazy borough, growing away from the plain, has naturally spread riverwards."
the place: The village of Ry, where the suicide in 1848 of an adulteress gave rise to one of the most widely read social novels of its time. Flaubert renamed places and protagonists, but his detailed descriptions make them identifiable to this day.
reason to visit: To see where the story unfolded (although Claude Chabrol's movie adaptation was filmed in a neighboring village). Have a meal at La Mélodie du Bovary.
Showdown in the French Alps
Jean-Christophe Grangé: Blood Red Rivers
in the book: "The Grand Pic de Belledonne towered against the cloudy sky like a monstrous black wave frozen between stone slopes."
the place: The Freydane glacier in the shadow of the 3000-meter-tall Grand Pic de Belledonne peak, where the showdown takes place. In his thriller, Grangé weaves the atmosphere of the bleak mountain backdrop into his horrifying tale of murders committed to conceal eugenics experiments.
reason to visit: A spectacular panoramic view of the French Alps – if you're lucky and the air is clear, all the way to Mont Blanc. The ascent to the top of the Grand Pic de Belledonne, undertaken every summer by ambitious alpine climbers, takes roughly five hours.
A nose by any other name
Edmond Rostand: Cyrano de Bergerac
the quote: "Above his Toby ruff he carries a nose!–ah, good my lords, what a nose is his! When one sees it one is fain to cry aloud, 'Nay! 'tis too much! He plays a joke on us!' Then one laughs, says 'He will anon take it off.'"
the place: the town of Bergerac. History's most famous ghostwriter, who is celebrated to this day in numerous plays, operas and films, did not actually hail from Bergerac. Rostand, the author of the orginal play, took inspiration for his famous protagonist from the French novelist, playwright and Parisian libertine Hercule Savinien de Cyrano, who later added the surname Bergerac after a former estate that his family had bought from a family that had moved there from the town of Bergerac. In the 17th century, Cyrano de Bergerac wrote what was probably the first science fiction novel about an imaginary journey to the sun and the moon.
reason to visit: To soak up some Cyrano atmosphere in the pretty town of Bergerac in the Dordogne, a well-known French wine region. Visit the Château de Monbazillac, an architectural jewel famous – and rightly so – for its sweet wines and liqueurs. On a tour of the castle, you can also admire works by German artist Albrecht Dürer, paintings by French caricaturist SEM as well as some contemporary art.

As gaming enters the mainstream and video game consoles become as ubiquitous in entertainment centers as DVD players, the industry has become an important economic driver of the United States economy. The economic effects of the video game business economically haven't faced much serious study to date, but the Electronic Software Association took the task upon themselves with a new report. Titled Video Games in the 21st Century: Economic Contributions of the U.S. Entertainment Software Industry, it found that the US video game industry grew a whopping 17 percent from 2003 to 2006, far outpacing the 4 percent general growth of the US economy. Retail sales totaled $7.0 billion in 2005, and sales of games for both PCs and consoles grow from 74.1 million units in 1996 to over 250 million units last year.
"Computer and video game companies play an ever increasing role in our nation's growing economy," said Michael Gallagher, CEO of the ESA. "These companies and their colleagues across the nation are making entertainment software one of the fastest growing industries in the United States."
The gaming industry added a total of $3.8 billion dollars to the GDP of the US in 2006, while employing, either directly or indirectly, 80,000 people across 31 states. Which state enjoys the most benefit? California, where around 40 percent of the US video game industry is employed. The gaming companies provided $1.8 billion dollars in compensation to Californians in 2006 and the industry grew 12.3 percent in California alone, tripling the general rate of state economic growth.
The study also makes a case for the US government to start tracking growth in the gaming industry. "While the growth of the industry can be clearly seen in industry source data, most government statistical references in the United States do not report software game publishing as a separate US industry," the report explains. "In US statistics, software game publishing is typically included within the broader industry category of software publishing."
Lumping the video game industry into other forms of software publishing does little to make the case for the strength of the business. The report estimates that between 2002 and 2006, the employment rate in gaming rose 4.4 percent; in contrast, the employment rate for the software industry as a whole declined.
The primary theme in mainstream media coverage of games is that they destroy lives and create killers. This study, though funded by a pro-gaming trade group, at least suggests there's much more to the picture than that. Gaming brings significant economic benefits to the US in terms of sales and employment, and that impact will only grow as the industry matures.

Thanks again Tommy!
You're the man Tommy.
I appreciate the research.
Great Job
I have a question for Daniel Handler
How did Lemoney get started? Does he have his own website for
questions. I have a few questions to ask him regarding writing and
how he decided on the whole series thing.
TN our miracleman do you know?

Now tell me is:
Is Merrill( I hope I spelled it correctly, I hate it when people spell my name wrong) signing "I love you" orrrrr "Bullsh...?"
I'll probably take a look at the book. But I don't think I'll get an answer to my question, it is....
If an author uses a different name eg. Lemony Snicket instead of Daniel Handler" does he or the person have to copywrite that name, go through the legal process or does the publisher assist with such things.
That was my question.
Thanks TN
for the info, I'm searching the sites suggested and diligently researching and looking. Thanks for your help.
Debtor for the information! he was same wanting to know! debtor!
I wonder....
as you can see I'm in a wondering mood today....
if Daniel has ever gone Scuba Diving????
I wonder!
The actual author of the books is Daniel Handler like Tommy said but Lemony Snicket is infact a fictional charcater that belongs to the stories themselves... I think anyway
Yeah cuz "apperantly" (lol I can't even spell!) Lemony Snicket is Count Olaf....at least that's what I hear...but then again I hearalot of weird things (lol)
"No time outs. Only DEATH!"
