GUANGZHOU, China (AP) ? A Chinese court on Wednesday began hearing Apple's appeal of a ruling against its right to use the iPad trademark in China, but no decision was announced.

Apple Inc. is in several legal battles with Proview Electronics Co., which the U.S. company says sold it the rights to the iPad trademark in 10 different countries, including China, in 2009. Apple contends that Proview has refused to honor the agreement and has not indicated any willingness to settle with Proview, a maker of computer monitors and LED lights.

Speaking after the hearing at the Guangdong High Court in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, a lawyer for Proview reiterated the company's openness to a settlement with Apple.

"Regarding the trademark right, this is ... non-negotiable," said lawyer Xiao Caiyuan. "However, if Apple wants to legally obtain permission to use the trademark, or to own the trademark by legal transfer, and it can provide a basket of proposals on settling the case outside of court, we would not refuse it," Xiao said.

The court adjourned with the date for any further hearings to be announced later.

On Tuesday, Proview announced it was seeking to regain worldwide rights to the iPad name and is suing Apple Inc. in the U.S. for alleged fraud and unfair competition, hoping to have a 2009 sale of the trademark ruled void. Proview was previously only claiming rights to the iPad name in China.

Apart from having the trademark sale voided, it also is seeking unspecified compensation, a share of Apple's profits from alleged "unfair competition" and an order for Apple to stop using the trademarks.

So far, two lower courts in Guangdong have sided with Proview, while a Hong Kong court ruled in Apple's favor. Last week, Shanghai's High Court rejected Proview's effort to get Apple to stop selling the popular tablet computer under the iPad name.

Proview, once a major computer monitor manufacturer, launched a device it called iPAD, or Internet Personal Access Device, in 2000 but it was not a market hit. Apple launched its popular iPad tablet in 2010.

Proview contends Apple intentionally misled it when it bought iPad trademarks through a special purpose company called IP Application Development Ltd. that concealed it was acting on Apple's behalf.

Experts in the high-tech field say such tactics are common given the secrecy surrounding new product launches, especially Apple's.

Investment Finance and Business: A lesson on student loans

A lesson on student loans
Student Financial Education Services presents students with advice for dealing with loans.
by STUDENT FINANCIAL EDUCATION SERVICES

This article originally appeared in The Tiger on February 24, 2012 | PRINT

Understanding Your Student Loans
The majority of college students have them: student loans. Student loans have increased in popularity in recent years, mostly due to the increasing tuition rates seen across the country. As you near the end of your tenure here at Clemson, there are a few things to keep in mind that will better prepare you to deal with your student loans.
Where do I find my loans?
If you are like many students, you remember receiving the many pieces of mail over the past four years detailing your loans, but now you cannot seem to find the information. You most likely know your loans by the types of loans they are, like Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan and others. These loans are not all made by one company, but are sold off and serviced by a wide variety.
There is an easy-to-use resource to help locate all of your student loans and who they are owned or serviced by. The website to help you locate your student loans is http://www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/.
If you have private loans, such as those often made by banks or financial companies such as Discover, Citi, Bank of America or others, you may need to contact that financial institution directly, as their information is sometimes not located in the online database.
How do I pay my loans?
Once you graduate, you should be proactive about finding out when you need to start paying your student loans back.
Graduating from college can be a hectic time, and with all the address changes that you may be going through, it?s easy for mail to get misplaced or sent to the wrong address. It is the responsibility of the borrower, which would be you, to make contact with the owner or servicer of your loan(s) in order to find out when payments begin.
The owner or servicer of your loan will most likely offer you several options for repaying your loans, although not all companies offer these options, and some companies may offer more options. Here are a few basic options:
Standard Repayment: Think of this payment option as a standard loan, you make fixed payments that do not change from month to month for the standard repayment period (which is typically 10 years).
Extended Repayment: This payment option is similar to the standard payment option, except the payment period (which is the time it takes to pay back the loan) will be longer than the standard period. This type of repayment plan may be beneficial to those who have extremely large amounts of student loans and cannot afford the monthly payment under the standard repayment plan.
Graduated Repayment: A graduated repayment plan offers the advantage of allowing you to make lower monthly payments right when you get out of school with the monthly payment increasing every set period of time (such as every two or three years). This type of repayment plan is based on the ideal that your income will increase over time.
Income Dependent Repayment: This payment plan is available in certain government loan situations and allows the borrower to pay a certain percentage of their income toward the loan until the loan is paid off or until a time limit of 25 years is reached. If the time limit of 25 years is reached, the government will forgive the remaining balance on the debt, although tax implications may apply.
Although these are just a few of the standard payment options, it is important to keep your current situation in mind when determining which payment plan is right for you. It is also important to think of the payment plan in terms of which will cost you the most in interest, as opposed to those repayment plans that will accrue the least amount of interest. Students are responsible for verifying the information in this article prior to making financial decisions.
If you would like additional information on student loan payment plans or help understanding your student loan situation, please visit the Student Financial Education Office located in The Union, Office 805. You can set up an appointment by emailing us at sfes1@clemson.edu or calling us at (864) 656-7337.

This water-resistant board is commonly referred to as ?green board? by contractors and those in the industry. It can tolerate moisture rich environments, and will resist mold as well as water.

Thus, sharp and attractive front doors are able to substantially boost a home?s value. Update the appearance of your entire house by installing a brand new doorknob and matching lock to your front door.

On big home improvement projects, homeowners must take information from contractors wisely. It is not uncommon for unscrupulous contractors to mislead homeowners who are not involved in the process or are easily intimidated. Contractors should raise any issues and discuss them with the homeowner before they ask for more money or an extension of the project schedule.

Anything simple, like a lampshade, can look and be boring. Go to your local arts and crafts store, and pick up some stencils and acrylic paint. With the acrylic paint, create some interesting designs on your lamp shade. You could literally create any design you can think of and give more personality to your home.

You will save yourself a lot of money when you do energy saving home improvements, such as re-caulking your windows. This can prevent moisture and drafty winds from sneaking into your home, with the added benefit of lowering your heating costs and preventing the growth of mold. Use a chisel to remove old caulk, then apply a fresh line of caulk.

Start thinking about ideas on how you would like to improve your home. Start planning ahead of time to compare as many different ideas as possible. You should not feel rushed to decide anything while you are working on your project.

New paneling is something to consider when you are wanting to create a new look but have a limited budget. You do not have to spend much money or time in order to make this change, and should you determine that the panels are not for you, they can be taken down with very little trouble.

When your house has built-in alcoves, paint them with a contrasting or accenting color to make them more defined. You could also consider a fun wallpaper to make the area stand out. Smaller areas can be covered with sample-sized paint containers so you won?t have to buy a gallon.

New appliances can improve the kitchen, adding value to your home. Even if you don?t plan to sell, updated appliances are a great idea for an easy improvement to your home.

Keep water savings in mind when making home improvement plans. You can simply add water heaters, shower heads and low flow toilets. Making improvements that are green will increase the value of your home a good deal as they bring the appeal of lower energy costs. In the very least you will lower your own energy costs.

If you are planning a home improvement project, there are many things you need to consider first. You should start by making a plan and understanding the preparation needed for the successful completion of your project. In this article, you have been shown a few tips that can help.

What Innovation Can Do to Your Life | TROMPYX

It?s a talent that everyone has, yet they think they don?t. The power of innovation. If you?ve ever marvelled at somebody?s creative prowess, guess what, you can create and innovate too. It just takes time. Everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten were not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential.

You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike or drive or to never commit the same mistake again? It?s the same with innovation. It takes a bit of practice and a lot of time before this mind function comes easily when called. This article will teach you a few tips on how to bring innovation into your life.

Don?t listen to what other people say. Follow the beat of your own drum. Allowing for the input of other people will only bring cacophony to the music you are trying to make. If you have an original idea, don?t waste your time and effort trying to make people understand. They won?t. And the help you will probably get comes in the form of negative feedback. If all those geniuses listened to their peers, we would probably still be living in the middle ages.

Spend time on it. I cannot stress that enough, although, please do not mistake this tip to tell you to quit your day job entirely. Do not. This involves some tricky time management but with a little discipline you?ll be able to squeeze both in.

Exercise. Take a walk. Run a mile or two. Send all those endorphins coursing through your veins. Exercising certainly clears and relaxes your mind and allows for anything to pop up.

Record your dreams. Aren?t some of them just the craziest things that your conscious mind would never have thought of? If you?ve had these dreams before, and I?m sure have, this only shows you the untapped innovative power you have lying within. So jot down those notes. Those dreams may just create an innovative spark in you.

Find your own style. You can always tell a Van Gogh from a Matisse. You?ll know Hemingway wrote something by the choice of words on the paper. So it is the same with you. People will appreciate your innovation more because it is uniquely yours and that no one else would have thought of what you were thinking. That will let people see how valuable an asset you are.

Don?t hide behind nifty gadgets or tools. You don?t need the most expensive set of paints to produce a masterpiece. The same way with writing. You don?t need some expensive fountain pen and really smooth paper for a bestseller. In fact, J.K. Rowling wrote the first book of the Harry Potter Series on bits of tissue. So what if you?ve got an expensive SLR camera if you?re a crappy photographer? Who cares if you?ve got a blinging laptop if you can?t write at all? The artist actually reduces the number of tools he has as he gets better at his craft: he knows what works and what doesn?t.

Nothing will work without passion. What wakes you up in the mornings? What keeps the flame burning? What is the one thing that you?ll die if you don?t do? Sometimes people with talent are overtaken by the people who want it more. Think the hare and the tortoise. Ellen Degeneres once said that if you?re not doing something that you want to do, then you don?t really want to do it. And that?s true. Sometimes you just want something so bad you become a virtual unstoppable. And that is passion. Passion will keep you going.

Don?t worry about inspiration. You can?t force it; inspiration hits when you least expect it to, for those unpredictable yet inevitable moments you should prepare. An idea could strike you on the subway, yet alas, you poor unfortunate soul; you have no sheet of paper to scribble down a thought that could change the world. Avoid these disasters. Have a pen and paper within your arm?s reach at all times.

I hope this article has helped you bring more innovation into your life. Keep in mind that you?re doing these things for your own satisfaction and not anybody else?s. But soon enough they will notice, and everything should snowball from there.

Why Corporations Are Switching To LED Lights Today? | Your Home ...

Why should I be using LED lighting?

LEDs use less energy. The first and foremost cause for using LEDs is that they can consume up to 85% less energy compared to traditional lighting. Less electrical power consumed is beneficial for the planet but it is also suitable for business at the same time. Less power usage is the same as additional money saved.

LEDs last longer. The normal age for a LED light is 10 years. Even then, they will only need to have changing as their light diminishes. Over a long certain period of time their light output eventually dims. They can keep working longer too; it rests upon the application.

LEDs are much less hazardous ? LEDs use less voltage (12-24) volts and are less of a fire hazard than light bulbs and especially neon lighting. LEDs produce no UV and very minimal heat so they can be used in places where excessive heat is damaging.

LEDs are less difficult to manage. LEDs can be left on its own and a quick wipe over from time to time is all they require.

LEDs are solid state. There is hardly any filament or glass to destroy and they are resilient even in wet environments. They can even be employed underwater in some cases.

LEDs are quicker to dispose of. Despite the fact that there is no real way to recycle them at present. They are tiny and therefore easier and less harmful to the environment than dumping glass bulbs and gas-filled tubing.

LEDs are much, much smaller. They can subsequently be used in much more creative ways than regular lighting. For instance, lightboxes can be slimmer, LEDs even be embedded into acrylic panels for various reasons.

What do I do with my current lighting?

A number of businesses are convinced that to upgrade their latest lighting, for example fluorescent tubes in ceiling strip lighting as well as the signage, will be hugely disruptive and uneconomical. We regard it as retrofitting. There is a range of retrofitting LED items that can make use of existing analogue light fittings. You get the profit of less power consumption, low maintenance and long life however you don?t have to pay for new light fittings. Changing to LEDs is as easy as switching a bulb.

What are the products out there?

LEDs are made in different kinds of colors and shades. Simple electronics can monitor the brightness and existence of each LED so the result you can get with a LED item are extremely varied. The market is expanding very fast.

Which merchandise should I use?

The LED market is, like all markets, packed with good products and perhaps bad products. LED lights are designed on a single sheet called a wafer, just like computer chips. Up to 6000 LEDs can come from solely one wafer. There are weak spots across the surface of each wafer so individual LEDs are scored once they are pressed out. Quality control ranges from manufacturer to manufacturer so it is vital to be sure you pick a reliable supplier. There is a level of value with LEDs which range from the whitest, brightest lighting through to the low cost mass produced LEDs that won?t last as long or supply you the same quality of light.

There is no point investing in the cheapest possible LED lighting if the bulbs are going to have a brief life-span. The electronics running the LEDs are also essential factors in the outputs you get from your LED lights. Green Supply has spent considerable time and money into exploring and partnering with the best LED vendors in the US. We fully grasp the technology and are knowledgeable about all the products appropriate for our customers.

Bernanke says community banks have strengthened

(AP) ? Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says the health of the nation's community banks has strengthened, despite what he calls a frustratingly slow economic recovery.

In remarks to a conference on community banking, Bernanke says profits at smaller banks have been rising for the past several quarters. He said the quality of the loans on their books has stopped deteriorating, although the proportion of bad loans remains high.

Bernanke says the hundreds of community banks, those with assets below $10 billion, have also seen their capital reserves against future loses increase, in part because they can more easily raise capital.

New Horror/Dark Fiction Column: Hell's Shelves - Rue Morgue ...

[Welcome to Rue Morgue's newest column, Hell's Shelves. Novelist and journalist Alan Kelly will use his hard-won chunk of our unreal estate to explore the best in genre fiction, from the small-press to the experimental to the mainstream. In the first?installment,?Alan chats up Lauren Beukes, author of Moxyland and Zoo City.]

Photo by Casey Crafford.

If South African writer Lauren Beukes hasn?t already attracted a cult following with her debut novel Moxyland, she is sure to score a big hit with her follow-up Zoo City. A book with all the hardboiled trappings of Mickey Spillane spliced with the deadly, ethereal edge of Caitl?n R. Kiernan and the socio-political bent of Margaret Atwood, Zoo City is a genre-defying, post-modern gallimaufry of shamanism, spiritual familiars, guilt, redemption and social isolation, packaged with more than enough violent grit and eye-watering shocks to appeal to even the most jaded of horror aficionados.

The Arthur C. Clarke award-winning novel has been hailed by genre writers and critics alike as one of the finest novels published in years. Not that we?d want to blow smoke up a writer?s ass,?but with Zoo City, Beukes has deftly earned her place alongside the forefathers of thought-provoking, cleverly crafted urban fantasy fare. Her writing sits comfortably beside work from the likes of China Mi?ville, Joyce Carol Oates, Richard Christian Matheson and George Orwell.

Beukes has an MA in creative writing from the University of Cape Town (she penned Moxyland during her time there). Her work as a freelance journalist (she has contributed to Sunday Times, Colors, The Hollywood Reporter, Nature Medicine, Marie Claire and The Big Issue) has stood her in good stead for a career in writing. Along with her fiction, Beukes has also published a collection of biographies called?Maverick: Extraordinary Women From South Africa?s Past. She has written dozens of articles investigating provocative issues ? everything from homeless sex workers to teen vampires to electricity thieves ? and moonlights as head writer on the animated show URBO: The Adventures of Pax Afrika.

Below, Lauren talks about her tough-as-nails?protagonist Zenzi December, collaborations with other writers, and the fan-interaction element of her work?

With Zoo City, you conducted a lot of hard research and it has really paid off. Is your research mostly preliminary (before you start) or do you begin your investigations while working away at the story?

Most of it is preliminary. I always know how the story begins and how it will end ??it?s filling in the middle bit that?s the hard work and most research-intensive. With Zoo City that included visiting the slums of Hillbrow, interviewing refugees at the Central Methodist Church, hanging out at cool music venues in Brixton, consulting a sangoma at the Mai Mai healer?s market and getting bounced from the Rand Club. I?ll also look at photo sets of the locations, watch documentaries and movies and read as much as I can. Then, while I?m writing, I?ll research stuff as it comes up, online or asking the expert hive-mind on Twitter for those unGoogle-able queries like ?what?s the best place to dump a body in Johannesburg?? (Troyeville, apparently).

At the novel?s core is the scam-writer-for-hire, finder of lost things and convicted killer Zinzi December ? a?bad-ass, self-assured and pragmatic young woman who has slipped through the cracks and now resides in a dangerous ghetto called Zoo City. How much does character need to reflect setting for you as a writer?

Who we are is determined by where we come from, in terms of our cultural and economic background, race, gender, [and] sexuality as well as the physical space. Zinzi is absolutely South African, absolutely a Joburg girl.

Zoo City has invited comparison with Philip Pullman?s young adult trilogy His Dark Materials, but whereas Pullman?s Daemon ?familiar,? or animal spirit, was a constant in his character?s lives, your animals are born once an individual commits an atrocity. Guilt and redemption are the biggest themes in the book; do you think a writer needs to like their characters?

I like writing conflicted characters. Straight good and evil is tedious. We?re all shaded by ambivalence, by contradictions in our personality. I do like all my characters ? and I think writers should, even the really nasty ones. Zinzi is damaged and cynical and jagged ?round the edges, but she likes to think she?s more hardcore than she really is. It?s the subtext of her vulnerability and compassion that she?s trying so hard to repress that makes her interesting.

Your publisher, Angry Robot, ran a competition with Authonomy.com to write a short story based around Moxyland (the winning stories are presented at the end of Zoo City). Any plans to do something similar with Zoo City?

Not officially, but I love fan fic and fan art. It makes my day (apart from the really creepy stuff). Artists Jonno Cohen and Werner Diedericks have done some beautiful?Zoo City-inspired art, and my favourite?Moxyland-inspired creation was someone who adapted the official Moxy graffiti stencil for in-game use in Halo.

Three chapters of Zoo City were written by different writers: the profile on fictional music producer Odi Huron (by music journo Evan Milton); the psychology paper on the sentient dark force known as ?the undertow? (by Charlie Human); and The Prison Papers (by Sam Wilson). Can you tell me a bit about these collaborations and about the social network element of your fan interaction?

I?ve?always enjoyed collaborating, especially in my long-time day job as a TV scriptwriter. Other people add dimensions to your world you wouldn?t have come up with on your own. I was so impressed and excited with the Moxyland short story competition, by other minds at play in my setting and with my characters, that it seemed natural to ask the winning writers ? and acclaimed South African music journo, Evan Milton ??if they wanted to guest-write background chapters for Zoo City.? I briefed them carefully and we discussed what they were going to do and I tweaked all the chapters afterward to make sure that they fit into the world and the plot, but the ideas and the writing were all their own.

When I was doing a tour around South Africa to celebrate the Arthur C. Clarke win, my publisher asked if I could do something special and I approached restorative justice programme, Khulisa, to participate. They arranged ex-offenders who had been through their programme to do a guest-reading of the prison diaries chapter by Sam Wilson. It was remarkable and moving to have people with real experience of prison read imagined fiction about same.

You?ve?recently had your first comic, ?All the Pretty Ponies,? published in Vertigo?s Strange Adventures anthology. Zoo City would make an awesome graphic novel. What was this transition like, from writing in the long-form to working on a comic?

I?ve?had a lot of practice in thinking visually working at an animation studio writing on major children?s series over the last five years. Comics are slightly trickier, though. Dialogue has to work very hard and the sheer variety of panel layouts you can play with is a little daunting at first. I was lucky to work with a fantastic editor, Shelly Bond, and a brilliant artist, Inaki Miranda, who held my hand through the figuring-out of it.

With Moxyland and Zoo City, you compiled a list of gritty South African tunes with DJ Honey B. Do you think a good playlist is beneficial to the working writer?

We put together the albums after I?d written the books, but they?re very much in keeping with the mood and tone of the novels, and music I was listening to at the time. My best working music is upbeat electronica that?s lush and dark and melodic but also has verve and energy. Lyrics distract me.

Any talk yet of a film adaptation?

We?re considering some serious offers from some high profile South African producers at the moment.

I can really see you run and run with the Zooniverse you created here. Will you return to these characters in the future?

I have some other projects I want to do right now, but I?d definitely consider returning to Zoo City.

Any contemporary writers you?d like to recommend to our readers and why?

I?m going to focus on the explosion of South African genre writers. I?m a huge fan of SL Grey?s deeply disturbing consumertopia hell, The Mall; Lily Herne?s scathingly satirical zombie apocalypse YA, Deadlands; and Sidekick, Adeline Radloff?s slim but punchy YA about a teen henchgirl to a time-travelling superhero, set in Cape Town.? And I?m very excited about upcoming talent, including Charlie Human, Liam Kruger, Andrew Salomon and Sam Wilson, whose publishing deals are imminent.

Alan Kelly is the author of the pulp fiction novel Let Me Die a Woman and the?European Liaison for the Viscera Film Festival. A horror?and alt.cult fanatic, he has worked for many print and online magazines, including GCN (Gay Community News), This is Horror, Planet Fury, Film?Ireland, Butcher Queers, and Bookslut. He lives in Wicklow, Ireland and?is hard at work on his second book.

M-W girls, Washingtonville boys lauded as good sports in basketball


Times Herald-Record

Published: 2:00 AM - 02/15/12

In more than two decades of coaching, Monroe-Woodbury girls' basketball coach Linda Trapani said she has received one technical foul. That's a credit to, among other things, Trapani's restraint, class and respect for the referees.

She expects the same from her players, period. The Orange County Basketball Officials Association has noticed Monroe-Woodbury's attitude on court, and has honored the Crusaders with the association's 2011-12 sportsmanship award. Washingtonville, coached by Todd Rose, took home the honor for the boys' team.

"I want my kids to go out play hard and keep their heads," Trapani said. "We really don't let them trash talk or anything like that. We're not screamers as coaches and our players aren't screamers. It's nice to know that the referees respect us, it's an honor."

The voting for the award is conducted by more than 120 referees and honors a program's varsity and jayvee teams. The Washingtonville boys' team will be honored against Minisink Valley on Wednesday.

Monroe-Woodbury will be presented with its award before its showdown with Newburgh Free Academy on Thursday in Central Valley.

"I actually had Monroe-Woodbury when they lost to Newburgh the last time," said association president George Coates, "and you didn't hear one word from Monroe-Woodbury's coaches or players. Linda does a great job, and Todd Rose has a class act at Washingtonville. He has a talented team, they are fun to watch and they are under control. There is never a problem."

Al Wasl chairman: Aim is to keep Maradona happy

Associated Press Sports

updated 8:58 a.m. ET Feb. 15, 2012

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -The chairman of Al Wasl says his aim is to keep coach Diego Maradona happy.

Maradona said last week that he would consider leaving the UAE club if the player budget wasn't increased significantly next season, complaining he wasn't able to compete with other teams.

On Wednesday, Marwan bin Beyat said he had not heard directly from Maradona about his concerns but said his aim was to "always make him happy." He said he has told Maradona to put "his requirements for next season in writing" and they would be discussed.

Maradona signed a two-year deal with the club in May.

Malvi Lennon Will Be a Valuable Addition to Connecticut Senate ...

Marshall, MN ? Cafe Con Leche is pleased to endorse Malvi Lennon for Connecticut State Senate 2.

Malvi?s platform stresses limited government and reduced government expenditures, to spur job creation, and common sense reforms in our public schools, such as school choice, pay for performance, etc. Malvi is also a small business owner who understands the impact of high taxes and government regulation on the economy.

We were especially impressed with Malvi?s life experiences as an immigrant from Cuba, and her grasp of immigration issues, including the role of state and local government in immigration, and assimilating new Americans. This perspective and background is needed in the legislature, and we think she can successfully expand outside the traditional GOP base and reach new voters, particularly moderate and conservative Hispanics, as well as independent voters.

Malvi supports immigration reform including a path to legalization, and she recognizes that we cannot enforce our way to a working legal immigration system, without addressing root causes of illegal immigration with an overhaul of legal immigration and guest worker programs.

In discussing issues such as immigration enforcement by state and local police, in-state tuition, English-only policies, she demonstrated an excellent grasp of these issues, and the unintended consequences that often result if these policies are not implemented in a sensible way.

For example, Malvi is opposed to sanctuary city policies, but she also does not believe immigration status should be checked during traffic stops, which encourages racial profiling, or during crime investigations, which deters witnesses from stepping forward if they or a family member are undocumented immigrants. However, suspects jailed for serious crimes should always have their immigration status checked, and ensures their deportation rather than release back into the community.

In our interview, she was able to articulate a common sense position on this issue, which balances the benefits of community policing, which requires trust from the immigrant community, with the need for public safety in removing dangerous criminals while they are jailed. In articulating a cogent position on this issue, Malvi demonstrated she can do the same with other complex issues.

Malvi?s support English as the language of government, but not to the exclusion of government services used by new immigrants, such as drivers license exams in languages other than English. She opposes bilingual education, and prefers immersion with extra help, so that students become proficient in school.

Malvi Lennon has solid credentials and would bring valuable insight to the Connecticut Senate. Please join us in supporting Malve Lennon for Connecticut State Senate!

Why you shouldn't expect a hoverboard any time soon

Researchers at NYU say they have made a breakthrough in understanding how insects manage to remain in one place in the air. But building vehicles that can do the same is a tall order. ?

Technology has made hovering possible for years. Yet despite its widespread use ? in the military, competitive racing, and mass-transit ? there is still something wholly surreal about a still object that floats, somehow, in midair.

Skip to next paragraph

New research published in the Physical Review of Letters by a team of scientists at New York University now makes hovering seem even more counterintuitive. Inspired by hovering insects,?their study suggests that objects tend to hover better when they are top-heavy.

Needless to say, these findings are wildly counterintuitive.?Most modern vehicles are designed with the opposite idea in mind. After all, it would be strange, not to mention frightening, to be near, say, a top-heavy eighteen-wheeler. That the opposite is true for hovering, the research suggests, has to do with how insects and birds move their wings.

In fact, these animals tend to perplex engineers. Historical attempts at airplanes with flapping wings were laughably?unsuccessful.?The NYU team designed a simple experiment to figure out how various fauna manage to hover so well. They placed a series of paper pyramids in a wind tunnel that vented an oscillating column of air to mimic the flapping of wings. They changed the weight distribution ? from bottom-heavy to top-heavy ? by affixing weights to the bottom or top of the pyramids and captured this process on high-speed video to analyze the airflow.

It is perhaps not surprising that these results demonstrated the complex yet effective way bugs and birds hover. People have had only a few decades to develop and hone hovering technology. Nature has had millions.

Some news outlets have taken this research to suggest that we'll all be hovering to and fro, like Marty McFly on his hoverboard. For instance, the French Tribune's headline read, "Hovercraft to Be Made Reality"?and the State Column's read?"Study: Hovering aircraft could become commonplace."

Of course, hovering vehicles are already pervasive, from helicopters to hovercraft, both of which can support tons of weight. There's also the Harrier jump jet, which hovers by using its hot exhaust to lift itself vertically off the ground. And?there are even more exotic ? yet still widely used ? hovering vehicles, such as the maglev train, which uses magnets to float the train cars a few inches above the rails.

If technology were ever developed from the new discovery at NYU, it would probably be unlike any of these, as this study is a result of biomimetics ? a branch of science that looks directly to nature for its cues on engineering and design. Biomimetic research?has been fruitful before. Scientists have studied the sonic navigation of fruit bats to enhance night-vision technology. Others have modeled versatile climbing robots after the gecko. On a more domestic level, the Swiss engineer?George de Mestral was?inspired?by the ever-stubborn bur to design a material nearly all of us have used: velcro. These ideas, as well as this new study at NYU, express the humbling and awe-inspiring idea that human technology is still no match for the designs of nature.

Coffee ? From Food to Drink. | electric bbq grills - usyabaimms ...

Coffee ? From Meals to Drink.The historical past of the discovery of coffee is rife with speculation.

Its transition from foods to beverage is equally open to interpretation and historical variances. Early European explorers and botanists assumed that Ethiopians chewed raw coffee beans for energy immediately after acquiring their grazing goats eating the coffee berry. They would pound the ripened coffee berries and mix them with animal body fat so they See Here became pasty spherical pellets. The focus of coffee, extra fat, and protein grew to become a crucial source of electrical power and sustenance, specially throughout lean instances or throughout war.

The Best Way To Use Video Exploding Software For Income ...

If you?d like every single child make video surging from home do not need be a specialized; it?s just your matter of right after some easy guidelines which will take you little or no time. A general suggestion I used regarding producing streaming videos for housing tours or vacationer operators in Perth was basically 2 minutes time-span. With the utilization of a satellite, you can simply create fun in addition to affordable live satellite-to-internet training video streaming. Among these different parts of the streaming set-up, the three most significant are the website server, the media server in the live video streaming server as well as end user. This can take data, as you final of with lots of content and video delivery network difference relating to successive frames, but it will give videos a good amount of energy, and if the actual ramp is fast the damage will be minimal. This is fabulous especially for universities practicing distance education.

Supporting generally OS including Glass windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, or Mac OPERATING SYSTEM X (v10. 4), DIR-665 is the best solution for high-performance property networking or business environments. Primarily, many online r / c solution for video streaming have jumped up after the use of Shoutcast streaming. Organisations like Netflix in addition to Vudu are taking advantage of it to the most effect. The genuine telecast is launched after some measure of buffering is completed plus the buffering for our next segment continues even though the telecast of the prior segments occurs. Almost all online video buffering websites, if they charge for a lot of these videos charge simply around two dollars for every single video, sometimes even much less. The particular video streaming software which they use must regularly be of the maximum in quality to allow for the viewer within the video so as to watch in high-quality. You could have just created internet webvideos ? there?re simultaneously being shifted in real-time to are being received inside of a continuous stream.

You has to be connected to the online when the file are being downloaded then set aside, but immediately next action is undertaken, the video will play whether or not there is certainly an online internet connection. Traditionally the machine supply the same software CDN capacity to different cable duration. It one-of-a-kind format enables you to condense your videos onto an acceptable file size (which means you won?t obtain ?heavyweight? files?) as it keeps an exceptional display level. The video happens to be compressed to carefully consider playing the acoustic and video simultaneously mainly because it arrives. This tool may need to allow conversion of your respective initial file(utes) to flash video along with an embedded picture player, so all you have to do is send the revolutionary video to ones webserver, and paste a smallish code onto the complete spot on a person?s webpage where you are looking for your video to produce ? that?s virtually all! Getting used it personally, I am boastful with its good quality, but the question remains regarding whether it ought to be free.

But I have to tell you that not in all of times you?re going to be required to work with streaming video services. Other than this, among news informed this new approach is gaining additional popularity. If you must encode in Thumb, try and find out what codec is used for ones own audio. There are the various models of protocols used over the internet. Applying live video streaming software can really help users relate back to you in a totally different way. But there are many technologies behind the scenes at your workplace before it gets in any website or in your internet. This ends up in consistent high velocities and unparalleled trustworthiness, ideal for the wants of people as their videos are viewed by a large number of people every day ? or perhaps every hour. This will never count the illustrates I watched in the websites video cells.
