“THE WEDDING OF ORTEZ AND SAOWANA – CHRISTMAS, 1540 was painted in the Pontotoc, Mississippi post office in 1939 by artist Joseph Pollet. Pollet was born in Albbruck, Germany in 1897 and immigrated to New York with his parents in 1911. He studied at the Art Students League in New York with John Sloan, Robert Henri, and Homer Boss. Pollett received an honorable mention in the Carnegie International Exhibition in 1929 and was the recipient of a Guggenheim scholarship in 1931. He was noted for his landscapes and portraits, and his early work reflects the influence of European impressionists. Pollet lived in Paris and Italy between 1954 and 1961. He held one-man shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Julien Levi Gallery, and the Robert Schoelkopf Gallery, and his paintings are owned by the Whitney, the Newark Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and others. Pollett was considered an influential member of the artists’ colony in Woodstock, New York. He died in 1979.

“The area now known as Pontotoc, Mississippi, was occupied by the Chickasaw people before the arrival of Europeans. Members of the Muskogean language family, the Chickasaw people’s traditional territory was in the Southeastern states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Chickasaw homelands included numerous traces, or pathways. This network of pathways extended across the eastern continent and was used for trade, transportation and conflict negotiation. The most well-known of these trails is the 444-mile-long Natchez Trace Parkway, currently maintained by the National Park Service. The Chickasaw descend from mound builder societies who constructed large ceremonial complexes and worked agricultural fields that fed entire communities. The first reported contact with Europeans occurred in the winter of 1540, when the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto and his company arrived in the area and spent the winter in an abandoned Chickasaw village. Though the Chickasaw successfully drove the Spaniards out of their territory, their arrival brought disease and more European encroachment followed. The Chickasaw were allied with the British and fought against the Choctaw and French in the French and Indian War. As encroachment on Chickasaw lands continued, the Chickasaw Nation signed several treaties with the United States government. However, the Chickasaw continued to lose their land. Following the passing of the Indian Removal Act by Congress in 1830, the Chickasaw were forced to sell their land east of the Mississippi and remove to another home, to be chosen and purchased by them. Other tribes had already been forced to relocate to Indian Territory, today’s Oklahoma, including the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole tribes. After five years of negotiation, the Chickasaw signed the Treaty of Doaksville with the Choctaw. This treaty arranged payment for the right of the Chickasaw people to settle in their own district within Choctaw Territory. In 1837, the Chickasaw were one of the last Indian peoples to remove to Indian Territory, walking the infamous Trail of Tears on which as many as 500 Chickasaw died of smallpox and many more of other diseases, starvation, exhaustion, and exposure to the elements. Today, Pontotoc is the seat of the county by the same name and recorded a population of 5,904 people according to the 2013 U.S. Census. The post office featuring Joseph Pollet’s mural was converted into a museum in 1998, though the post office is still operational. It is now known as the Town Square Post Office and Museum.

“Joseph Pollet’s mural refers to that first encounter of the Chickasaw with Europeans during the de Soto expedition. However, the scene depicted is that of a wedding between a Spanish translator on the expedition, Juan Ortiz (misspelled in the mural title as Ortez), and an Indian “princess” who was not a Chickasaw. She was said to have followed them out of Florida and to have been the daughter of a cacique (chief) there. Juan Ortiz was born in Seville and first arrived in Florida with Panfilio de Narvaez, who attempted to invade and conquer Florida with a force of six hundred. Ortiz was one of about twenty men sent back to Cuba with messages for Narvaez’s wife. While they were away, Narvaez marched inland and was noted for treating the indigenous peoples he encountered, including the Timucuan-speaking people known as the Uzica, with vicious cruelty. After concluding a peace agreement with Uteca, the Uzica cacique, or chief, of a province referred to as Hirrigua, Narvaez allowed Uteca’s aged mother to be torn to pieces by dogs after she complained that a Spanish soldier had violated a young Uzica woman. Uteca, incensed, threatened revenge and was seized and lashed, and Narvaez ordered his nose cut off. When Juan Ortiz and his companions returned to Florida from Cuba, he and three others were enticed ashore by Indians who claimed that Narvaez had left a message for them. They were immediately captured and taken to Uteca, whose earlier traumas at the hands of Narvaez inspired his hatred of Spaniards and desire for vengeance. Uteca killed the first three and planned to kill Ortiz, possibly by roasting him over coals, but his daughter Uleleh (or Ulelah) intervened and asked him to spare Ortiz, who was as young as eighteen years old. Some accounts credit his pardon to his wife and several daughters. Ortiz was kept as a slave, and tortured repeatedly. Eventually, Uleleh informed him that he was to be sacrificed, and advised him to escape to the Mocoso (or Mococo) people. According to some accounts, Uleleh was betrothed to the cacique of Mocoso. Ortiz fled there and was received and sheltered. He remained there about nine years. When de Soto’s expedition was seen nearby in 1539, Ortiz was sent to him, and the Mocoso allowed him to join the Spanish. He then served as an interpreter and member of the de Soto expedition north. After traveling through Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas, de Soto and his expedition reached Mississippi in 1540 and camped in an abandoned Chickasaw village near present-day Pontotoc for the winter. Here is where the mural story becomes inconsistent.

“The popular story local to Pontotoc tells that on Christmas Day in 1540 Juan Ortiz married a “Princess SaOwana” in a ceremony solemnized by a Catholic priest who was a member of the expedition. However, several first-hand accounts of the de Soto expedition, including the Inka chronicler, Garcilasso de la Vega, from Cuzco, Peru, all mention the encampment near Pontotoc, but none describe a wedding. Additionally, there are conflicting accounts as to who the bride actually was. According to the mural title, her name was SaOwana. Some sources, including the Pontotoc County Historical Society, claim that she was a Seminole princess who had been taken captive by de Soto and his men. However, historical sources bring doubt as to whether or not anyone by this name existed. To add to the confusion, a 1938 article in the Jackson Daily News names SaOwana as the daughter of Chief Uteca. This was likely caused by the stories of the kindness of the daughter of Uteca to Juan Ortiz during his captivity. However, there is no indication that she met Ortiz again and as previously noted, most accounts of the captivity of Ortiz clearly state that she married the Mocoso cacique and was named Uleleh, not SaOwana. Some have argued that early accounts of her intervention on Ortiz’s behalf inspired the fictional stories surrounding Pocahontas’s rescue of John Smith nearly 80 years later.

“While these elements may have contributed to the popular imagination of the occurrence of this wedding, there is little first-hand evidence to support it. Rodrigo Rangel, de Soto’s secretary, provides the only primary source account that mentions Christmas in 1540: “They were there in Chicasa that Christmas, and it snowed with as much wind as if they were in Burgos, and with as much or more cold.” In the mural, however, there is no snow on the trees or the ground, and the clothing of those pictured looks insufficient for a cold and windy winter day. Additionally, the figure next to SaOwana, presumed to be Ortiz, is dressed as a conquistador in armor, but primary source accounts indicate that he chose not to dress like the Spaniards after he joined de Soto, and continued to dress as he had while living with the Mocoso. One feature of the mural that may recall a historical first is the appearance of many pigs on the ground and under the table, as well as a roast pig being served on a platter. According to Mississippi historian Rufus Ward, when de Soto and his party arrived in Florida in 1539, they brought with them 300 pigs for the purposes of emergency food, special feasts or celebrations, or for breeding if a settlement was established. Ward notes that either Saint Lucia Day (December 13th) or Christmas Day could have been the feast days that saw the first roast pork barbecue in Mississippi. It is also to be noted that after Hernando de Soto offered to share some pigs with the Chickasaw citizens, he shot two of them and cut off the hands of a third who dared to take a few without permission.” ~

Hope in the darkness

As we might say in my Texas hometown, “It ain’t your grandpa’s America anymore.”

Shocking changes have occurred in our culture in the past generation or two. Today America is a land of lost people. American Christians think the “unreached people groups” are in Asia, Latin America and Africa. But our nation is a land of largely unreached people groups: disillusioned teens, prison inmates, Muslims, addicts, the homeless, disaster victims, senior citizens and cynical college students. The list goes on. These are mission fields defined not by geography, but by demographics and circumstances. Consider:

U.S. News and World Report estimated more than 3 million crimes per year are committed in or near the nation’s 85,000 public schools.

• A University of Michigan study reports 9 percent of America’s eighth-graders carry a gun, knife or club to school at least once a month. In all, an estimated 275,000 guns go to school every day.

• In a single year in America, the average 16-year-old will witness 15,000 sex acts and references on TV.

• By the time an American child reaches high school, he has witnessed 33,000 TV murders and 200,000 acts of violence.

• Since 1960, the rate of illegitimate births in America has climbed by 419 percent.

And don’t look now, but America’s tendency to promiscuous sexuality has entered the church — a study conducted by Josh McDowell reveals 43 percent of teenagers attending evangelical or fundamental churches have sexual intercourse by age 19.

These radical changes in our society have made the work of the church more crucial than ever in the United States. However, as dark as statistics like this may seem, they only heighten the brilliance of hope that exists today wherever the church is reaching outside her walls, providing spiritual salt and light.

In the following pages you will see hope comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. It can be as formal as an urban Bible school graduation or as casual as a food delivery to an intercity brothel. As American believers we can overcome our society’s darkness through the power of the Holy Spirit as we work and pray to Reach America.

I always knew a good training in Python could boost my career by several notches. But I was not being able to buy the claims IT training institutes were making in the ads. I always felt apprehensive of joining any random IT training centre. But then I had to choose one, so I chose Besant. I won’t say it was a well-thought out decision. I didn’t choose Besant because I knew a lot about it. Things just happened in a flow; I just happened to choose Besant. But I can confidently say now that I made the best decision of my life by joining Besant. My concepts in Python are crystal clear, and now I feel extremely confident to face any interview.

How many times has it so happened that you just hear something from someone, end up trusting them and regret later? Well, for me, I have always believed in other people, and ended up being taken advantage of. And that is why when my friend suggested me to join the Python course at Besant, I was a little doubtful about how things would turn out to be. But surprisingly, I didn’t face any problem this time. In fact, I am grateful, I listened to my friend. Besant has changed my life. I am working at a reputed MNC today and I think I owe everything to Besant.

Ravit rated as 5 days ago

I wanted to take up a Python course because my senior had told me its probable benefits in my career. But because I didn’t know much about the city of Pune, I didn’t know which the best coaching centre for a course in Python was. My senior recommended I joined Besant Technologies, so, I did! I am happy about the growth I have made post this training. And there is nothing about my job that I am unhappy about. I am in a good position and I feel I can go places with my Python certification earned from Besant.

Healing Ourselves, Reclaiming our Ancestral Lineages

When you imagine resistance, what do you see? Do you picture images of melanin rioting and glistening in the sun? People of Color wearing business suits? Do you picture men or women? Can you imagine people beyond the gender spectrum? Can you fathom Queer and Trans People of Color (QTPOC), reclaiming our ancestral healing practices as a means of resistance and survival?

For many queer and trans People of Color, the paths to uncovering our ancestry and cultural healing practices are filled with Google searches, conversations with family members, elders, and library loans. For most queer and trans People of Color who reclaim severed connections to cultural healing practices, access to spaces which encourage deconstructing colonial, capitalist ways of navigating the world are crucial. It is through community and access to radical knowledge that QTPOC are able to rebirth ourselves spiritually and energetically. This allows for our unapologetic QTPOC self love to continue to grow and honors our ancestors seven generations forward and backwards.

Through access to organizing, education and underground QTPOC arts and culture, QTPOC are exposed to new ways of thinking about self care and healing. Through access to radical types of knowledge and exposure to expansive, decolonial thought, QTPOC are able to heal ourselves. Practices expand along diasporas, ranging from herbal medicines, traditional dance, incense burning, and prayers.  When QTPOC are unapologetic, we are able to reclaim and create access to forms of healing that were created without us in mind. Barriers including lack of access to quality healthcare, citizenship status, and housing prevent QTPOC from using westernized, socially acceptable forms of healing and rehabilitation.

When we heal ourselves, QTPOC are able to better hold space for our communities and those we are in solidarity with. Ancestral healing practices allow QTPOC to unapologetically assert themselves in the world for ourselves and for our communities. By implementing cultural healing practices, ways of dress, music, dance and foods QTPOC are able to reconnect to cultures, ancestors and beauty that are meant to be forgotten as generations pass and the U.S. occupation of indigenous land continues on. When we reclaim our ancestral healing practices, it asserts that our existence as multiply marginalized people is inherently an act of enduring resistance to cis, hetero, Eurocentric, patriarchy.

When QTPOC reclaim ancestral roots meant to be forgotten, the immediate result is the fracture of capitalist, Eurocentric standards of American assimilation. Under capitalism, multiply marginalized people , are  compartmentalized and  encouraged to erase parts of ourselves to be relatable. Under colonialism QTPOC begin to unconsciously believe that we are not meant to carry our histories and futures with us.

Yet when QTPOC have access to ask what our cultural and ancestral healing practices are and where they stem from, it inherently uplifts our wholeness and multiplicities. As QTPOC, race, language, ethnicity, place of origin and culture are at the constant intersection of expansive gender and sexual identities.

As this rebirth continues to ebb and flow,  new relationships could look like honoring the Orisha, burning Palo Santo, burning candles, or sage in addition to many other spiritual practices. When QTPOC are better able to understand and relate to the world through our ancestral healing practices, we are  better able to root ourselves in relation to the society around us, which can solidify our existences in our own minds. When we reclaim ancestral healing practices, we no longer allow the claws of colonization and capitalism to tear away parts of ourselves that have been erased for generations. To reclaim and practice ancestral healing methods for queer and trans people of color, asserts that our narratives will no longer be erased or forgotten.

QTPOC with these points of access are often privileged to be introduced to alternative lines of thought. This is because Capitalist values are indoctrinated into the mass subconscious to eliminate critical thinking and to keep multiply marginalized people; especially queer and trans People of Color scrambling to survive.  For many queer and trans People of Color, the side effects of oppression are burdens which are often pathologized and dismissed. So, as a means to not only connect with ancestral roots and cultures, many queer and trans People of Color turn to ancestral healing methods as a means to grieve, retain hope and thrive.

To survive under capitalism, we must deconstruct what it means to heal and cope with frequent trauma without safe and affordable healthcare options. This is why many QTPOC seek out communities where they can heal, cope, celebrate life and find connections. Finding other QTPOC to learn from and heal with allows the reclamation of ancestral healing practices while simultaneously deconstructing and decolonizing perceptions of what it means to actualize self care.

For many queer and trans People of Color, reclaiming and practicing once forgotten methods of healing, allows QTPOC to exist within a world that wants to erase our existence. It is through reclaiming our forgotten identities, that queer and trans People of Color are directly confronting the compartmentalization of our lives, cultures, bodies, and histories. By reclaiming ancestral healing practices, queer and trans People of Color are not only resisting colonialism and oppression but refusing to be erased.

Norwegian Cruise Line is now attracting families who traditionally took bucket-and-spade holidays, thanks to its premium all-inclusive fare.

Nick Wilkinson, NCL’s vice president and UK & Ireland managing director, said he had been forced to take stock and listen after being inundated by new agents selling its cruises.

Reflecting on the impact of the introduction of the new all-inclusive fare, Wilkinson told Travel Weekly: “Your distribution changes from what we had before, because we have got premium all-inclusive, agents find [NCL] an easy sell.”

Asked how many new agent partners NCL now had, Wilkinson said: “All I can say is we have got double digit growth in the long tail in the agents that are supporting us.

“That is right across the board – that is strong growth in the independents and multiples.

“If you look at the beach holidays there is a lot of interest in us. People are realising that the value is included in the actual cruise.

“Families are booking so far in advance to get that those family cabins.”

Speaking at a media event in London on Wednesday night, Wilkinson hailed Bliss as the “most successful new ship in the line’s history”.

“If you are looking comparatively at how well ship to ship it has sold,” he said. “Bliss was the most sold ship we have ever had before it had launched.”

Wilkinson added that the UK trade would be invited on a two-day shakedown sailing on Norwegian Encore from Bremerhaven to Southampton in October next year.

The Breakaway-plus class vessel is scheduled to complete its conveyance in September 2019.

Home > News > Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton

September 25th, 2013

What do you think that you happened? In fact, ten thousand new has cardholders in a day and a loan to build a church. Simple? I rather I would say creative. To my something similar happened to me. The other day looking for some option to generate money extra at this time, decided to try one of those offerings to generate money by internet offering different products. As our page already generated some traffic, I decided to take advantage of it and incredibly, has already begun to generate revenue in dollars and I am currently studying some options offer it and generate revenue extras and who removes, maybe and exceeded my income by this way and not in the traditional way. Creativity has a lot to do with the relaxed States of the brain and the body. Therefore, its natural enemy is stress.

There is a very interesting study which shows how 97% of good ideas occur outside of work. To walk, bathe, sleep and many other activities which have as a common ingredient, be relaxed, mentally and physically. ANOTHER VERY GOOD REASON TO PRACTICE MEDITATION. Of course, creativity also has to do with the intention. Do you remember Isaac Newton and his famous story of the Apple? Do you think that it was the first human being who fell an Apple from a tree? Of course not, but he intended to solve a problem and your mind was working for him, attentive to any response.

And that tell of Archimedes and his famous expression EUREKA! Achieved by solving a problem very serious in a very creative way. From a neural point of view, creativity has to do with the use of the right hemisphere. Remember that this hemisphere is the one dedicated to creativity, intuition, art, etc. The right hemisphere manages much emotions while logic is the Forte of the left. Women use more its emotional part (right lobe) and men their logical part (left lobe). Why women can perform several tasks at the same time, while men focus more on a task in particular. A left-handed will be a more creative person (and they are highly sought after in advertising) and always It will be he who asks the question that is out of the ordinary in a class. A left-handed and an ambidextrous have a markedly different way face the problems and are a very valuable help in decision-making. What can we do then to increase our creativity? Three simple options that are available to everyone: 1. practice brain gym 2. Break schemes, even mentally, and although at the beginning does not take you to the practice. Remember that the brain cannot distinguish between reality and fiction and therefore will act as if you were actually implementing it. 3. Display quiet and new scenes. For example, a stroll through a forest that is located on a beautiful island in the Moon and in which a man and a woman from the future appear and follow displayed and inventing. But not forbid, you are activating your right hemisphere. 4. Practice meditation and relaxation every day (if I know that I said three, but this is so important that I had to put it). Until the next.

Edmundo Winkler Reserve Forest

The University of Chile’s Faculty of Forestry Science, which is located at the end of Caupolicán Street, owns 33 hectares which were donated by Edmundo Winkler in the 60’s and which nowadays comprise a park full of forest species with its own nursery. A path takes you through the native forest which is conserved almost exactly as it would have been before the Colonization, along with some areas that have been renovated and some exotic plantations which allow visitors to research the different forest species.

One of the most beautiful places to visit in Frutillar is the ¨Edmundo Winkler Experimental Reserve Forest¨, also known as the Remembrance Forest, which was created to preserve the different varieties of the local, native trees and bushes.
Visitors can appreciate and find out specific details of the tree species in the native forest, most of them are an excellent quality, noble wood.
The public can enjoy the full extent of the greenery and rich vegetation in the forest as well as an exhibition installed with 12 panels describing all of the relevant information on the botanical characteristics of the types of leaves, flowers, fruit and the anatomical background of the wood.
There is an impressive and interesting exhibit of colour photographs, cut up into microscopic pieces and set on slabs of polished wood. The subject matter is informative as it mentions the growth aspects, geographical distribution, weight and the most common uses of the wood and it also provides samples of the seeds and branches and photographs that show the species precise habits.

This is the first in a 3-part overview of Apple’s new operating system, with the other parts to be published over the next two days. In this first part, he looks at the installation process, the desktop and Finder, as well as some of the utility applications that Leopard features.

It’s no surprise to anyone that Apple took their time on this one. They said after Tiger they would be lengthening the time between releases. Has Apple done good in that time though? The short answer is "Oh my God yes".

Price approx

$ 199

Software/Hardware Requirements

  • Intel, G5, G4 (867MHz min) Processor
  • 512MB RAM (additional recommended)
  • DVD drive
  • 9GB Hard Disk Space

Built-in Display or Display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by computer.

Available from

In his review Walt Mossberg stated "It’s an evolutionary not revolutionary release". I firmly believe he needs a new dictionary because Leopard truly has some revolutionary aspects, the biggest of which is of course the most talked about TimeMachine. But while I’ll look at TimeMachine later, I will also look at other aspects of Leopard that many haven’t talked about yet.

Like the iLife and iWork packages Leopard has an elegant CD Jewel Case sized box that contains a fold-out box with the DVD sitting on the right and the manual, a sticker sheet, and licenses sitting in a box on the left.

The DVD has the space theme of the box printed on it as does the manual, which is very much akin to the manual that comes with iWork.

It’s nice to see a printed manual but like all Apple apps the online documentation is much fuller.

The DVD to IPad has everything on it from Leopard, XCode, and the Boot Camp drivers. This is much better than before, when Tiger had separate discs for the Operating System and XCode. Along with XCode comes DashCode and WebObjects, so you have an amazing development environment provided all for free. Beat that Microsoft !

Install is pretty much standard although the screens are ever so slightly different…but that doesn’t stop them from being any less intuitive. I performed two types of install, first an "Archive and Install" and secondly a complete "Erase and Install". This was mainly for testing purposes to see which made a difference. I wanted to see if anything broke doing "Archive and Install" and if those problems were fixed by doing a clean install or if they were caused by Leopard incompatibility.

I had no problems with "Archive and Install", with the exception being Parallels failing, but this may have been due to the pre-release Beta of Parallels I had installed beforehand. For all intent and purposes, it worked a charm. One thing you’ll notice that is different right from the word ‘Go’ is the Software Update system. The initial list of apps is the same but here’s what it looks like…

This a more minimalist approach is far nicer than the fuller window that we had with Tiger.

Let’s now look at the first things you’re likely to interact with when using Leopard.

The second hit in the face is of course the Desktop. The menu bar is slightly translucent and this seems to irk a few people but I have yet to be bothered by it. Unlike Windows, the menu bar is always in the same place so you know where to go. I personally prefer to have the menu bar less in your face as I prefer to concentrate on what I’m doing rather than being distracted by something that I use only when I need it. This is what it looks like with a reasonably noisy sort of a photo:

I personally have no problems reading this and it’s far easier to read than the image portrays, but I guess it’s something that people may find irritating.

Another feature, while technically not part of the desktop, is the ability to scroll applications that aren’t the selected window. This allows you to scroll to text that you might wish to quote but saves the hassle of having to switch between windows all the time. A very nice inclusion.

Another controversial feature is the new Dock. Once again I love it, it’s better looking than the previous, actually takes less real estate than the previous Dock. One seriously cool thing is that if you move the Dock to the side the icons on your desktop will move accordingly. That’s a biggie because before if you moved the Dock to the right the Dock would sit over the drives. Now though the drives respect the Dock and are pushed over to the left.

One feature that takes a bit of getting used to is the small blue dot as opposed to the black arrow to indicate what is running. It can be a bit difficult to workout which apps are running but I think that’s something that will be worked out over time. The folder issue is a bit of a pain. Any folder on the right hand side of the Dock will show a collection of contents as opposed to the actual folder icons.

On clicking the icons on the right side of the Dock, it brings up a fan or a grid depending on how many entries are in each folder. Grid is the better display format, but fan can be just as good. These are called Stacks and I quite like. Some people don’t on account of them giving limited viewing if you have lots in a folder. I think this can be best reduced if you use smart folders and place these on the Dock.

The Finder now looks very much like iTunes. Some say this is a bad thing but once again I disagree. It is better laid out, is more structured and the groupings is much better as well. I had always figured that the iTunes look would be moved to the Finder and now that it has I’m happier than a monkey in a banana tree.

CoverFlow is such a great idea. It makes it so much easier to see contents of files. One thing I’m not a fan of is that with CoverFlow on you only get the List view. I’ve always hated list view because it’s not that intuitive. Give me icon view or even column view and I’ll be much happier.

QuickLook is so awesome. Select an icon and press the spacebar and a quick preview of the document is opened. You can flick through pages of PDFs, albums, Word and Excel documents etc. You don’t need any apps installed to use QuickLook.

One thing you might have noticed with the image here is that the folders also have sizes listed beside them. This is a brilliant feature that has been finally added whereby it can automatically calculate the size of folders and tell you how big the folder is. This works great and is something Windows definitely does not have. Also, another hidden option is to have the Trash always perform a secure delete. This is fantastic for the paranoid but it will add some time to deleting due to the nature of what it does. It may still not be fail proof but it certainly makes it more secure.

The icons for folders have changed and if you do a magnify you see that they are made of recycled paper. That’s got to be a kick in the danglies for GreenPeace who seem to have a love-hate relationship with Apple. I think the understated nature of the icons are nice.

Screen Capture

One interestingly cool feature is when you go to do a screen grab using Command-Shift-4. You now get a crosshair with X/Y co-ordinates showing up at the bottom right of the arrow. This makes things so much more precise and is a fantastic feature. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a screenshot to show you what it looks like.

Whoever Apple hires to come up with ideas needs to be given a medal for rolling Dictionary and Calculator into Spotlight. Now if you want to do a quick and dirty calculation you don’t need to open Calculator (or use the lesser widget) to do so. Simply type the equation into Spotlight and bingo bango bongo results, and you can even do complex BODMAS (or BOMDAS depending if you’re old or not) equations as well. In fact look at the difference in the next two equations (both are correct):

This is a feature I will make full use of. {xtypo_quote_right}The simplicity of Time Machine is the reason that this is a revolutionary product. It completely changes the way we think about backups…

Searches are very quick as well, something people have made a note of. This is because of indexing that may take some time initially on slower machines as it indexes your whole machine. Once the index is finished it will only index what has changed from then on.

Spotlight has also been integrated into the Help system and offers a really neat feature where if a command is accessible from the menu bar then it will highlight that option.

This is in addition to the actual help files. A nice feature I have to admit.

System Preferences Firewall

Don’t look under Sharing for the Firewall options as they are now under Security. And it’s more powerful whilst being simpler. You can either allow all, block all, or set access based on application as can be seen in the image.

This approach to network security is a much better approach than the "let everything in and deal with it later" approach to just about every firewall out there. By blocking everything but the stuff you actually want you make, it makes it more difficult for hackers to access your machine. It’s not foolproof, but a lot better than other ways.

The initial interface has changed to a cleaner more concise layout with much more information. The advanced options include some more networking options that allow the Mac to communicate better with Windows networks, for example there is now a WINS option.

Although WINS is getting less and less usage due to DNS being the default standard for networking addressing now, some Windows servers (NT4 and Win2K mainly) may require WINS addresses. Interestingly DNS and TCP/IP have been separated and DNS now has the ability to get DNS entries from Domains, which I’m assuming includes Windows Domains. AppleTalk is still there which is odd, but I guess there are still some old Mac OS 9 servers out there or machines that require AppleTalk.

Printer & Fax

Another really nice change is to the Printing preferences panel. There is no Printer Utility and has instead been rolled into a single section of Preferences where it belongs quite frankly. I had no problem whatsoever with setting up my Epson CX4700 multipurpose printer. Plugged it in and Leopard picked it up automatically. But wait there’s more. Not only did it pick up the printer it also installed the scanner part automatically as well. It’s even got a much nicer scanner interface than the Epson drivers, and yes the scanner can be shared over the network.

Parental Controls

Parental Controls is a new addition and is a good idea to be able protect children through restrictions. It would be nice to allow this to be used for everyone but the default account is an administrator and Parental Controls can’t be used on that account. It’s a shame because some features should be available to all users like for example profanity filters, porn blockers, etc.

You can set application access, limit e-mail and chat usage, set times that they can login and use logs to track usage. Parental Controls is a wonderful addition to help keep our kids safe and even protect other users to the machine.

Aside from these the System Preferences pretty much retains the same features although Sharing has been trimmed a bit due to the aforementioned relocation of Firewall.

Spaces is nothing new and has been around for years on the UNIX platform. Apparently Windows had it but as always, Microsoft screwed it up and it was rarely implemented.

Put simply Spaces gives you multiple desktop environments, up to 16 in all. You can group applications or assign an application a Desktop for itself. If you use the new Apple keyboard you will need to press ‘Fn F8′ to kick it in action or you can press Control 1 – 9. I have Spaces set on the menu bar but to be truthful I kind of prefer just clicking the Dock icon. Spaces is the best implementation of this sort of tool I have seen. It’s a better implementation that most UNIX environments because it offers more spaces.

The Dock and Desktop stays the same in all Spaces but what’s cool is the little transition animation that lets you know you’re going somewhere else.

One thing I dislike about Spaces is the inability to automatically assign apps to a particular space permanently. You have to manually do this each time you open an app. It’s a bit of a pain but nothing major I suppose.

Time Machine

The most revolutionary (yes it is Mr Mossberg) feature of Leopard is Time Machine. Put simply it’s backups for idiots. All you have to do is simply tell it which drive you want for backups and it will do everything itself. It does incremental backups every hour which is good because chances are you will screw something up within the first hour. It will perform a daily backup, a weekly backup and a monthly backup. Put simply, you will have backups out the wazoo and you’ll never be happier.

It’s best to have a drive solely dedicated to backups as it will fill up pretty quickly. This is a good thing as it does some serious butt saving.

The simplicity of Time Machine is the reason that this is a revolutionary product. It completely changes the way we think about backups and as such more and more people will be using this feature thus the attitude towards backups will have changed. Once again, this is by definition revolutionary.

As cool as this sounds it’s a ‘behind the scenes’ app that you never have to worry about. As such there’s nothing really to mention. Oh sure it’s so dead easy to restore a file but aside from that it’s pretty much fire up and forget. When you need it though, you’ll be glad you had it running.

iSync is a must have app for anyone wanting to organise themselves on the fly. It’s most noticeable change is the removal of the .Mac synching which is solely handled by System Preferences now (although backend wise it’s still iSync).

If I could have one wish it would be to have iSync synch with Palm devices without having to us Palm Desktop. It seems like a bad solution to have iSync conduits installed to allow Sync Services in Mac OS X and iCal and Address Book communicate with a Palm device. It would be so much tidier to do it all through iSync and its more system friendlier experience.

iSync communicates well with most Vodafone phones but Telecom phones are not so lucky…although Nokia do supply plugins from their site, only not for the phone work gives me, which sucks (although my work phone is a joke because it doesn’t even sync the notes for Calendars under Outlook so it’s usefulness is pretty much zero).

iSync is a constant companion for me with my Palm. I never ever use Palm Desktop. All my Address Book is uploaded to my Sony Ericsson v800i with no issues at all.

While much of the changes are cosmetic tidy-ups within iSync, the application is a lot nicer for it. That being said though I tend to just have the iSync icon on my menu bar do the work, so I don’t venture much into the app at all. Apple designed a tool so powerful that it’s not even needed. Brilliant.

Disk Utility

Disk Utility is amongst the applications, enhancements and utilities that has seen some off the most powerful changes in Mac OS X Leopard.

For all intent and purposes it looks the same only with the refined layout that is across the board with the other windows. But Disk Utility has a supremely powerful feature in that it can actually resize partitions on the fly. This means you can repartition without having to boot into the Install disk to alter the boot partition.

It can do this by taking the free space and making another partition out of it. This is a seriously handy thing to be able to do and once again is something that can’t be done on Windows, at least without 3rd party apps like Partition Magic.

You’ll see that the partition is separated into two bits, a blue bit and a white bit. The white bit is the free space and so you can use that as much as you like. The blue bit is what’s used and this cannot be altered.

Terminal has had a makeover. It looks like a normal Shell window but it now has tabbed windows which makes it perfect for multitasking.

Better yet it has a feature called Secure Keyboard Entry which prevents keyloggers from recording your keystrokes. This alone can make Leopard more secure as it means that passwords can’t be captured by keyloggers either.

On thing that I’d prefer to see is X11 merged with Terminal. It seems dumb having two terminal style apps instead of one. Actually I’d prefer X11 apps to run natively but this isn’t going to be an easy ask. Maybe in Mac OS X 6?

Actually while we’re on the subject of X11 one thing that’s different is that X11 is installed by default rather than being an option. It’s now optional to turn it off.

Considering apps like Gimp (doesn’t run well), OpenOffice and the like require it to run, it makes sense that it would be installed so that people don’t have to worry about installing another app. Once again I’d prefer this to be rolled into Terminal because it can be a pain to get things like Fink or Darwin Ports working with X11 but the fact it’s there by default is nice.

Automator is one of those apps that seems like you’ll never need, but you then find out how cool and intuitive it is and inevitably end up using it a lot.

The version in Leopard has a really nice feature called "Watch Me Do" which is as it sounds. Basically it follows your every movement and records it as a macro, which you can then re-use as an automator script. On using it I find it is more along the lines of ScriptIT on Windows than the much cooler and nicer XenWorks under Novell. That being said this has the potential to make your life so much simpler.

I set up a workflow that sets the System Volume to Full, opens iTunes, and then starts playing my Favourites playlist. This workflow was made using nothing but the internal commands…but I had a problem. There’s no command for stopping iTunes from playing. So I used Watch Me Do to record a macro that clicked on the iTunes icon on the Dock then pressed Command Q to close iTunes down. In both cases I saved these as iCal plugins which then allowed me to set times to execute these macros. I set the Wake Up one to 6:00AM then I set the Close iTunes one to 6:15AM. So now I have a fully functioning alarm clock.

Automator is definitely a powerful app but its power (as with most Apple apps) is made very simple with nothing more than dragging and dropping in many cases. Watch Me Do can take a bit of getting used to, but once mastered, will make your life so much better.

Of all the apps that should be the most beneficial, this turns out to be the most worthless.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a brilliant application and is very handy…but the fact that Apple decided only to include the New American Oxford Dictionary instead of also giving us the ‘proper’ version as well is kind of an insult to the English language.

I’m sorry but I live in New Zealand and I was taught the Queen’s English at school. So whilst spelling systems allow you to get around the issue via language settings (such as choosing ‘British English’) it is odd to find that the actual Dictionary doesn’t allow this.

Leopard now includes a grammar checker. Personally I have a love hate relationship with grammar checkers in that I love to hate them. Rarely do they get it right or take into consideration regional dialect, so while many rave about this feature I never turn it on.

But that’s not to say that this isn’t actually a handy app, as it does allow you to search Apple and Wikipedia as well. The Apple aspect is obviously good for developers and the Wikipedia aspect makes Dictionary a quick and dirty encyclopaedia.

What’s a bit naff is that if you searched for Zealand it only tells you about an island province in the Netherlands. It doesn’t even think about offering New Zealand as a definition either. What is dumb however is that the island actually isn’t called Zealand but is correctly spelled Zeeland, Zealand is of course the English spelling of it. Wikipedia also gets this wrong unless you search for Zeeland in which case it gets it right.

All in all Dictionary is a blessing and a curse so take it as you will.

Thundersport GB releases new-look GP2 Supertwin regs

In News, Thundersport GB

THUNDERSPORT GB execs have unveiled their hot-off-the-press Supertwin regulations for 2019, which could significantly shake up the paddock next season.

Bosses announced back in September that the class would receive a vigorous stir for the new year as they attempted to mix things up and stand out.

And now, regulations are open for public consumption.

Among the changes are a new set of weight limits for both single-cylinder and twin machinery of different capacities, permission for slick tyres and an increase in maximum displacement for twins to 700cc while the maximum for singles drops from 800 to 750cc.

Chassis regulations are now free, bar a ban on titanium and carbon fibre.

Kemenkumham of DIY Espouses Anti Plagiarism

October 27, 2017 by : Una
A lot of plagiarism issues have occurred among academicians. They copy other people’s works in their writing such as an undergraduate thesis, thesis, or journal without acknowledging the authors.

In a promotion of Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) organized by Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) of Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) and Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) on Thursday (26/10), Haryanto, S.H. stated, “Plagiarism is an ethic code infringement of writing. It is an infringement of ethic codes, not copyright.”

Haryanto explained differences between a code of ethics and HAKI. “If it is dealing with contents, it is a HAKI infringement. For instance, if someone has a book, the copyright protection is included in a HAKI aspect. If someone takes data, opinions, and ideas without mentioning the resources, she/he infringes a code of ethics of writing,” he maintained.

In the end of the session, Haryanto suggested students to make their own work, “We emphasized that intellectual property is how we encourage students to make their own work and not to plagiarize. Indeed, plagiarism is a “theft”. You have to try your best. If you can’t, do not take data or ideas of other people without acknowledging them,” he ended.

A warm welcome to
The Unicorn School.

At The Unicorn School we aim to ensure that all of our pupils achieve their potential both within the classroom and in the range of extracurricular activities we offer at the school.  With very small classes taught by specialist teachers, we understand exactly what each child requires to achieve this goal.

I have a passion for supporting children who struggle at school.  I have been fortunate to teach, and lead, in a range of different mixed ability schools and found myself gravitating to support those children who most needed help.

You need to be a gifted teacher to support our pupils.  We are incredibly fortunate at The Unicorn School in having a passionate, highly qualified staff who know how to get the very best from our children.  They teach, using a range of techniques, that allow our pupils to understand what is required of them.  Our pupils are happy, confident and motivated, as one of our Year 7 children wrote in a recent poem:

“The Unicorn School allows my learning bells to ring!”

Our website gives you a feel for what our school can offer your child.  To get a better understanding I would encourage you to visit The Unicorn School yourself.  I will be very happy to give you a personal tour where you will have an opportunity to meet our teachers and also to talk to, and ask questions of, the real stars of The Unicorn School:
The children themselves.

Former Unicorn Plays 11 hour Tennisathon to Raise Funds for School

Former Unicorn School pupil Luke Strivens is playing an 11 hour tennis match to raise funds for The Unicorn School.

Luke is limbering up for the “tennisathon” with the aim of beating the record tennis match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut in Wimbledon 2010, which lasted 11 hours and 5 minutes over three days.  Luke will play his tennisathon on Sunday 4th September, playing all day from 7am to 6.06pm
in a mixture of singles, doubles, rallying, drills and fun tennis.
Enthusiasts can follow Luke’s training and fundraising progress on his Just Giving page and donations are gratefully received at

The Unicorn School celebrates its 25 year anniversary this year.  In that time we have supported more than 500 pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia.  As we enter our second quarter-century our next exciting development is the introduction of our GCSE programme, commencing this September.  This will make us unique as Oxfordshire’s only dyslexia-specialist school to offer GCSE education.

We are proud of all of our pupils past and present and we are enormously grateful to Luke and his quest to raise funds and awareness for our school.

Luke, you are an inspiration!

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Rapid advancements in the field of robotics coupled with the rise of computing power during the latter half of the twentieth century has exponentially increased the breath of tasks that can be assigned to robots and systems based on an artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the autonomy with which such technologies operate. While this can be beneficial for global development and societal change, for instance by contributing to the fulfilment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, it also raises legal, ethical and societal concerns and challenges, some of which may be hazardous for human wellbeing, safety and security.

In 2015, UNICRI launched its programme on AI and Robotics. Utilising knowledge and information of experts in the field to educate and inform stakeholders, and in particular policy-makers, UNICRI believes it will be possible to progress discussion on robotics and artificial intelligence governance. Building consensus amongst concerned communities (national, regional, international, public and private) from theoretical and practical perspectives in a balanced and comprehensive manner is integral to its approach.

With the support of the Government of the Netherlands and the City of The Hague, UNICRI is establishing the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in The Hague, the Netherlands, to serve as an international resource on matters related to AI and robotics.

U.S. IT Firms Lose Billions Due to NSA’s Surveillance Programs

The government’s intrusive NSA surveillance programs are not only causing Americans to fret over the limitless information government agencies are gathering daily without any warrants. According to The Independent, U.S. IT firms are also losing billions after reports proved they were involved with the bulk data collection programs.

The scandal is making it hard for American technology companies to sell their products to foreign companies and governments in Asia. Members of the export markets have begun to refuse making any deals with Americans because they simply cannot trust us anymore.

Tech giants like Cisco and IBM have seen a sales drop that surpassed the $1.7 billion mark since Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA had been gathering Internet data from millions of American users daily.

When foreigners don’t want what U.S. companies have to offer, especially after learning that surveillance programs have compromised their technology, China becomes the first place to go for an alternative. According to The Independent, IBM saw a drop of 15 percent of sales in Asia, while Cisco reported that it might have lost 10 percent of its customers in this current quarter.

The Asian market is not the only one that’s concerned with surveillance programs like Prism. According to the reports, the German government is urging tech developers to come up with an alternative local Internet and e-mail provider that would keep the consumer’s data private.

Countries like Canada, France, Germany and others have rules that make it a requirement for IT companies to provide data privacy to its customers, making it an especially difficult task for American companies to strike any deals abroad, especially after being asked by the American government to hand over users’ personal data.

President Barack Obama has recently met with executives from Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple, Twitter and Facebook. The early-December meeting gave executives time and space to vent their frustration concerning the spying programs. Apple now wants to explain to the public how its consumers are affected and how the company co-operates with the NSA’s programs, in order to keep from losing any more costumers in the near future.

What the NSA and its massive surveillance programs have been able to accomplish is exactly what one might expect from a program developed by a government that has grown too big: inefficiency. But now we are seeing an even darker side to this issue, one that could cost Americans their jobs and stifle our tech industry.
