Alphacool announces custom GPU cooler service

Posted on Wednesday, April 30 2014 @ 13:09:14 CEST by

Alphacool announces the launch of its custom GPU cooler service:
Alphacool International GmbH, Germany announces the launch of the custom GPU service. For many years Alphacool has noticed a gap in the market for watercooling solutions for lower end or nonreference designed graphics cards. Until recently the high cost of developing specialised full cover watercooling blocks has forced manufacturers to focus only on producing blocks for the higher end cards. With new patented technology Alphacool have the ability to fill this gap in the market by producing full cover waterblocks for any non-reference or lower end graphics card.

The cooler comprises of three parts shown in the image below. Firstly the waterblock is designed around the 'core only' concept but is used in conjunction with the custom made base plate that is made specifically for each type of GPU ensuring the perfect fit. A custom made back plate is also included in the package at no extra cost.

The specially designed cooling block will serve two uses, firstly to cool the core of the GPU and secondly to cool the copper plate which is fixed to the aluminimum base (no water is in contact with the aluminimum at any point). The mosfets on the card will be cooled to the same level as they would be on an air cooled graphics card running its fan at full speed while the core and ram would see a temperature drop in the region of 30-40c. The block has also been designed to work universally so when you upgrade your card you will be able to buy just the plates you need. Alphacool will be launching this range based on any Nvidia card 7XX or above or any AMD card 2XX or above. Nvidia 750 Ti Solutions for reference cards will be available at launch for 59€ including the back plate. Nvidia Titan Black solutions will also be available for 79€ including back plate.

For customers looking for blocks for non-reference cards or cards that we have not already covered with the standard blocks there is now the option to send your card into Alphacool. By using state of the art 3D scanning technology to measure your GPU Alphacool can custom make you a cooling plate. As a reward for sending the card in Alphacool will send the customer a free cooling set for their GPU (Plate, block and back plate). The GPU cooler will also be added to the product range so other customers with the same card can also purchase the block.

Alphacool will also be producing a unique “multi-bridge” connection system for customer’s with more than one GPU. The bridge will effortlessly connect the waterblocks as well as letting the customer illuminate the Alphacool logo with 5mm LED’s.

To support the modding community Alphacool will be publishing the dimensions of the “multi-bridge” cover so you have the ability to make your own. Also if there is enough demand for a specific brand or logo Alphacool will be making custom covers available.

Summary of key changes proposed in the draft CDM 2015 regulations

Following a recent consultation on the changes to Construction Design Management (CDM) regulations we take a look at the key changes proposed in the draft 2015 regulations which include:

  • A legal obligation for duty holders to provide information, instruction, training and supervision, which replaces the duty to assess competence. The draft regulations do not specify the minimum standard required for compliance.
  • Construction phase co-ordination duties to remain with the Principal Contractor. But the current proposals do not make any provision for an independent role, as currently provided by the CDMC, to protect the client.
  • Replacement of the CDM Co-ordinator (CDMC) role with a Principal Designer responsible for health and safety in the design team. The role can be fulfilled by an individual or organisation.
  • Replacement of the ACOP with tailored guidance. No date has been announced for HSE issue of the guidance documents.
  • Creation of client duties for domestic projects which can be transferred to the Principal Designer and/or Principal Contractor.
  • Client must ensure that the Principal Designer for health and safety complies with their duties. Requires the client to be informed and aware of their role and responsibility (difficult for ad-hoc and lay clients).
  • Client must ensure that the Principal Contractor complies with their duties. The draft regulations provide no indication as to how compliances are achieved.
  • The notification trigger (the point at which an F10 needs to be submitted to HSE) has been amended to 30 days and more than 20 persons on site or 500 man days.
  • The Client will be responsible for notifying HSE of a project (F10 notification).
  • The Client will be required to appoint a Principal Contractor and/or Principal Designer if there will be more than one contractor on site. Assuming that contractor means trade meaning any project with more than one trade on site (most) will require these appointments.
  • A construction phase plan will be required for all projects. The draft regulations do not require a review or indicate any requirements for its contents.

Reduced running costs for Occupational Pension Schemes?

HMRC has published a revised VAT policy on pension fund administration and investment management confirming that, subject to certain conditions being fulfilled, employers can deduct as input tax VAT on both the administration and investment management costs of running their pension schemes.

Background and previous policy

Previously, HMRC’s policy was to distinguish between costs relating to the setting up and day to day administration of occupational pension schemes, and costs relating to investment management.

HMRC allowed employers to deduct VAT incurred in relation to administration on the basis that these costs were overheads of the employer and therefore had a direct and immediate link to the employer’s business activities.

Employers were not, however, allowed to deduct VAT in relation to investment management costs as these related solely to the activities of the pension scheme.

In circumstances in which a single invoice was received covering both the administration of the pension scheme and the investment management, HMRC had in place a ‘simplification measure’ which allowed the employer to claim 30% of the VAT as relating to the administration of the scheme, and the pension scheme to claim 70% as relating to the investment management.

New HMRC Policy

Following a recent case HMRC has now changed its policy on the recovery of input tax in relation to the management of pension schemes on the basis that there are no grounds to treat administration and investment management costs differently.

Certain conditions must be met and in order to recover the input tax it must be demonstrated that:-

  • The employer is the recipient of the services, rather than the trustees;
  • The employer is party to the relevant contract for the services; and
  • The employer had paid for the services.

HMRC has confirmed they will withdraw the 70/30 split simplification measure, although an extension until 31 December 2015 has been provided to the period during which employers may continue to use this split.

What should employers do now?

Employers may wish to restructure their arrangements to ensure that they fulfil the conditions set out above and can subsequently take advantage of HMRC’s revised policy.

HWWI Research Paper 147
Germany's occupational and sectoral change towards a knowledge-based economy calls for high returns to education. Nevertheless, female graduates are paid much less than their male counterparts. We wonder whether overeducation affects sexes differently and whether this might answer for part of the gender pay gap. We decompose total year of schooling in years of over- (O), required (R), and undereducation (U). As ORU earnings estimations based on German SOEP cross-section and panel data indicate, overeducation pays off less than required education in the current job even when unobserved heterogeneity is taken into account. Moreover, analyses of job satisfaction and self-assessed overeducation point to some real mismatch. However, overeducation does not matter for the gender pay gap. By contrast, women's fewer years of required education reasonably do, answering for 7.61 pp. of the East German (18.79 %) and 2.22 pp. of the West German (32.98 %) approximate gap. Moreover, job biography and the household context affect the gap more seriously in the old Bundesländer than in the new ones. Overall, the West German pay gap almost doubles the East German one, and different endowments answer for roughly three quarters of the approximate gap in the Western but only for two thirds in the Eastern part. We conclude that the gendered earnings gap among German graduates is rather shaped by an employment behaviour suiting traditional gender roles and assigned gender stereotypes than being subject to gendered educational inadequacy.

The Copts of Egypt

Full Product Description

The Coptic Christians of Egypt have traditionally been portrayed as a 'beleaguered minority', persecuted in a Muslim majority state and by the threat of political Islam. Vivian Ibrahim presents a vivid and alternative image of the community, examining Coptic agency in the twentieth century through newly discovered Coptic archival sources. She reveals a strong Coptic response to the emergence of political Islam from the 1940s, one that continues to resonate today, and examines how Copts negotiated a role for themselves during the colonial period and in Nasser's Egypt. Dismissing the monolithic portrayal of the community, she highlights the varied Coptic factions and groups that contributed to the identity of the Coptic community in the first half of the twentieth century. The findings of this book retain great relevance today, to understanding identity politics and the place of the Coptic community in Egypt's changing landscapes.

The Copts of Egypt by Vivian Ibrahim was published by I.B.Tauris & Co Ltd in February 2013. The ISBN for The Copts of Egypt is 9781780764665.

By Richard Peck on

1997 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan

So far this has been a wonderful car. The fit & finish is very good. It's a fun to drive car. The ride is very good for a 11 year old luxury car. About the only option this car lacks, is a moonroof. Everything on this car works. I've heard a lot of bad things about the Northstar engine. I find it an excellent powertrain. If you keep it from getting overheated, it should last almost forever.

Best Features

Drivers information center (DIC) Self leveling suspension Very quiet and smooth shifting Interior is quite comfortable This is a very sound car The Northstar engine really performs well

Worst Features

Too bad it doesn't burn regular gas

To bring this to a positive end: It was a multithreading issue. The Send API was called simultaneously from two or more threads and not prepared to be locked. It is now and everything is fine.

EU Economic Law in a Time of Crisis

EU Economic Law in a Time of Crisis

Edited by Harri Kalimo and Max S. Jansson

How has the EU’s economic crisis affected the development of economic law in the Union? This book contributes to the debate by examining EU economic law from a contextual and policy-oriented perspective. The expert authors explore areas such as the EMU and the internal market, and emphasize the important fields of public procurement, taxation, and intellectual property rights. The investigation proceeds along themes such as harmonization, institutional interplay, non-economic values, and international actions. The authors conclude that, during the crisis, the attention of the Barroso Commission focused quite narrowly on the most urgent problems, failing to consider longer-term issues to spark off bold policy endeavours, and break inter-institutional blockages.

In-Store Mobile Use Redefines Customer Service

Shoppers would rather look up info on their mobiles than talk to store personnel

January 5, 2015 | Retail & Ecommerce | Mobile

If customer service is king, then why do so many shoppers prefer typing away on their mobile devices over interacting face-to-face?

In a study by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), more than half of shoppers (58%) said they preferred to look up information on their mobile devices while shopping, rather than talk to an in-store employee. This was especially true among shoppers between the ages of 25 and 44 and among men.

When shoppers are ignoring in-store personnel, they’re far more content with the information they dig up on their own than product display or sales literature out on the floor: Nearly two-thirds of respondents felt that the information they gathered on their mobile devices was more helpful than in-store info gleaned from product displays or sales lit.

One thing is clear: Consumers still value customer service, but the way they want it delivered is changing with their consumption habits. As the retail path to purchase changes—mobile is now a significant part of the process, especially for researching on the go and even in-store—so do consumers’ preferences for how retailers connect with them.

Electronics retailers should heed this message most of all, as CEA reported that 60% of mobile shoppers used their devices for assistance when shopping for electronics in-store. They also whip out their phones to look up more detailed specs on a product, read customer ratings and reviews, or compare prices when they’re shopping for groceries (55%), apparel (47%), shoes (45%), and health and beauty products (39%).

However, retailers should not be fearful of mobile use in-store. While some may be showrooming, a Deloitte study found that mobile devices used before or during in-store shopping trips converted or helped to convert nearly $600 billion in US in-store retail sales in 2013, or 19% of total brick-and-mortar sales. The more informed the consumer, the more comfortable he or she is with pulling the trigger on a transaction.

Researchers tout better, brighter LEDs

A pair of researchers at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science seem to think they're well on their way to building a better LED -- one that's not only brighter than existing LEDs, but more energy efficient and less expensive to boot. According to Physorg, the team's biggest success so far is red phosphorescent LED (or PLED) that delivered a record-breaking 18 lumens per watt (compared to an average of 12 lumens per watt with current red LEDs). The key to that, it seems, was to simplify the LED as much as possible, which they did by adding a polymer powder and liquid mixture to a "previously top-secret material" developed by Canon. The resulting "paint-like product" was then used to coat a layer of glass, with a charge then added to get the whole thing going. From the sound of it, these new wonder LEDs should be making their way into consumer products sooner rather than later, with Canon (naturally) reportedly already having licensed the technology and the first commercial products expected in "about three years."

HP Blackbird 002 gaming rig reviewed

If the HP Blackbird 002's good looks weren't enough to justify is sky high price tag for you, than perhaps HotHardware's review of the top-end gaming rig will be enough to push you over the edge. The folks there got their hands on a pre-release version of the system, loaded with a Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor factory overclocked to 3.67GHz, 4GB of Corsair dual channel DDR2-8500 RAM, and two GeForce 8800 Ultra cards running in SLI mode, among other desirable specs. Not surprisingly, with all that under hood the system couldn't help but impress, with it delivering a few benchmark scores higher than any other machine they've tested. They also, of course, dug the system's case design, which not only looks good but makes upgrading an ease (they replaced a hard drive in 12 seconds flat). On the downside, they found the system to be "somewhat noisy," and the slot-loading optical drives could limit upgradeability further on down the line. Then, of course, there is the price, which starts at $2,500 and tops out over $7,000 when packed to the gills.

FreeHand puts a pocket on your wrist, L on your forehead

Darren Murph

This day and age, there's really no excuse to have too little room in your average pair of cargo shorts for all the gadgets needed in a day. Convergence and shrinking PCBs have left us with do-it-all handhelds that can fit in the rear pockets of size 2 jeans on a size 4 gal, so really, you have exactly zero reasons to actually buy that abomination pictured above. If you must know, the FreeHand is a wearable neoprene pocket that keeps your keys, flash drives, RSA token and chump change within easy reach, and if you're lucky, you may be able to convince the boss it's being worn to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Folks who haven't listened to a word we just said can ignite a Jackson right now -- or spend $19.95 on this, same difference.

Man charged $28,000 for using data card, Slingbox to watch football game

Ross Miller

While waiting for a Caribbean cruise liner to set sail from the Port of Miami last November, a Chicago native with an AT&T wireless card and Slingbox decided to catch the Bears vs. Lions football game on his laptop. The end result? A $28,067.31 bill from for international data charges, despite the ship never leaving the harbor. Apparently the card was picking up a signal it shouldn't have, and while the bill was eventually dropped to $290.65 after a considerable number of calls to customer service, let that be a warning to mobile users traveling on the fringe of international roaming areas -- and in case you were wondering, the Bears ended up winning 27 to 23.

Verizon to blanket 'one third' of America with LTE this year, double coverage in 15 months

Darren Murph

Remember when we heard that Verizon Wireless just might be able to bump its commercial LTE rollout to the first quarter of 2010? Man, talk about having our hopes and dreams dashed. Here at CTIA, we heard a few details on the company's most up-to-date deployment plans, and it sounds like things are pretty well locked into place at this point. Tony Melone, the company's Senior Vice President and CTO, seemed remarkably enthused that a bona fide LTE network would be launching "in the not too distant future," and when pressed for specifics, he stated that they would launch "25 to 30 networks this year, covering one third of America by the end of 2010." Beyond that, we're looking at a footprint twice that size "15 months" after the initial rollout, and by the end of 2013, the company's 4G coverage map will be the same size, "if not larger," than its existing 3G map. Of course, the carrier insisted that they wouldn't be abandoning 3G advancement while being fixated on 4G, noting that it was moving "fast and aggressively" on both fronts, with hopes that its LTE network would eventually eclipse even the 3G networks (in terms of coverage size) of competitors. Them's bold words, VZW, and we'll be carefully watching to see if that really does come to fruition.

Player identifies "huge security hole" in RIFT's authentication system, Trion seals it

Hacking and account hijacking have been severe issues for RIFT ever since launch, even though Trion Worlds anticipated the onslaught from the beginning. Yesterday we saw Trion implement the so-called Coin Lock patch to prevent hackers from selling other players' items in-game, which some see as a novel (partial) solution to the problem.

However, this may not be enough to stop the truly malicious invaders from getting into RIFT accounts. One player, identified as "ManWitDaPlan" on the forums, claims to have circumvented the account login completely, leaving a "huge security hole" for hackers to exploit:

"I have verified the authentication system can be bypassed by successfully logging into another account without needing its credentials. Worse, all it took was about thirty seconds of time once I got all of the details locked down. I did trigger Coin Lock, but I was fully able to access that handy delete-character button, so this exploit is a griefer's dream. I will not post details on how to do this (so don't ask), but I'm positive that I can reproduce this at will and likely on any account on the system."

Later in the thread, a Trion representative added: "We have some things in the works right now and have been passing on your feedback, concerns, and thoughts throughout the day (no matter how radical or unlikely). Sharing sensitive information about our actions (no matter how broad) naturally also informs those carrying out these attacks. This puts us in a tight spot with how much information we can provide, and the questions we can answer."

And it looks as though the problem may be fixed, as ManWitDaPlan posted late last night: "Got word back from Steve Chamberlin, the development lead for Rift. This hole is sealed."

Scattered Shots: Hunters and patch 4.1

Brian Wood

Every Thursday, WoW Insider brings you Scattered Shots for beast mastery, marksmanship and survival hunters. Frostheim of Warcraft Hunters Union uses logic and science (mixed with a few mugs of dwarven stout) to look deep into the hunter class. Mail your hunter questions to Frostheim.

Patch 4.1 was a pleasant one for hunters, a relaxing change of pace from the insanity of nerfs and buffs and more nerfs of 4.0.6. The patch brought us a nice wave of quality of life improvements and a very welcome AoE buff.

But in addition to everything listed in the patch notes, there have also been a couple of undocumented hunter changes. Even the undocumented changes are wee hunter improvements. Clearly, Blizzard feels bad about the (admittedly somewhat necessary) trauma we endured in the last patch, and it wants this patch to be a nice, therapeutic massage of tranquil ease for hunters.

Join me after the cut as we go through the patch 4.1 hunter changes -- the official notes, as well as the undocumented things that crept in there.

Hunter patch notes

To start things off, here is the hunter-specific part of the patch notes:

  • Deterrence no longer requires a melee weapon to be equipped.
  • Explosive Trap now has a new spell effect.
  • Master's Call now has a new spell effect.
  • Multi-Shot damage has been increased by 250%.
  • Tame Beast now tames pets to match the hunter's level, rather than 3 levels below.
  • Pets
    • The Feed Pet ability now instantly heals 50% of the pet's health. Cannot be used in combat. Requires diet-appropriate food.
    • The Happiness/Pet Loyalty System has been removed. Hunters will no longer have to manage Happiness for their pets, and the previous damage bonus for pets being happy will now be baseline for all tamed pets.
    • Bloodthirsty no longer generates Happiness.
    • Carrion Feeder no longer restores Happiness.
    • Guard Dog no longer causes Growl to generate additional Happiness.
    • Summoned pets now start with 100 focus, up from 0.
  • Glyphs
    • Glyph of Mend Pet is now Glyph of Lesser Proportion, which decreases the size of the pet slightly.
  • Hunter Bug Fixes
    • Hunters will no longer automatically acquire a new target if the current target dies in the middle of a cast.
    • Aimed Shot and Steady Shot should no longer start casting Auto Shot on a new target when the "Stop Auto Attack" option enabled.
    • Auto Shot now automatically turns off until reactivated once Freezing Trap is cast on an enemy player.
    • Deterrence: The area damage of the paladin ability Hammer of the Righteous will no longer hit hunters with Deterrence active.
    • Distracting Shot and Multi-Shot are now properly 40-yard range.
    • Intervene (Tenacity pet ability) range has been increased so that the pet will properly intercept attacks.
    • Multi-Shot now properly has a 1-second global cooldown.
    • Scatter Shot's disorient effect should no longer sometimes be broken by the hunter's Auto Shot.

To my mind, there are three really noteworthy things here. First, Multi-Shot got a big giant DPS boost, a full 250%. This is great for all hunter specs but certainly helps MM and BM the most and SV the least. MM is able to fire Multi-Shot the most often due to Bombardment's reducing the focus cost by half, and BM gets darned close if using Beast Within during AoE phases to get half-price Multi-Shots as well. Without a Multi-Shot discount, SV just doesn't fire Multi-Shot as often and thus doesn't gain as much from this buff, but that's okay. SV still gets a boost and is still going to be the AoE spec -- though BM's burst AoE potential is now fantastic in the hands of a skilled player.

The second significant change is the total removal of the pet happiness system, which I think is a fantastic and long overdue thing. I've talked about pet happiness before, so I won't go into detail here. But what you need to know is that old Glyph of Mend Pet that you had so that you could ignore the happiness system before has now turned into a glyph that shrinks the size of your pet. So if you don't want your pet around 10% smaller, you'll want to get rid of that glyph.

Finally, our third change of significance is that Deterrence will now work when we're disarmed -- no longer will disarming a hunter completely eliminate our ability to defend ourselves as well as totally removing all ability to DPS (and heck, you can do that latter just by standing next to us).

In addition to this, we got other quality of life improvements and a host of bug fixes. Pets leveling instantly to our level is fantastic, and it's great to see the Steady/Cobra auto-target bug squashed. We still have a handful of hunter bugs out there, most of them involving pets, but hopefully Blizzard will keep picking away at them.

Hydra pet family

One of the undocumented changes was the introduction of the hydra pet family. The hydra is a ferocity pet with the special ability Bellowing Roar, which provides the 5% crit buff. Sadly, to my current knowledge, there are no tamable hydras anywhere in the game.

The Wrath daily quest for the Oracles faction, A Cleansing Song, allowed you to briefly summon a ghost hydra (and a slime), and for a while both of those could be tamed -- and both were members of the crocolisk family.

Blizzard removed the ability to tame them but left them in the stables of hunters who had already tamed them. So those few hunters who had tamed a ghost hydra in that window of time now have a new family for their hydras.

We can only assume, however, that tamable hydras will be put in the game in the very near future.

Sockets added to craftable gear

There was much talk about this happening back before patch 4.0.6, and it never came to pass. But with patch 4.1, we finally got our craftable 359 gear upgraded! The Corded Viper Belt, craftable by leatherworkers, has had a red socket added that comes with a +10 agility socket bonus. This is a fantastic upgrade and makes this craftable item the best in slot for ilvl 359 waist items for hunters.

The Dragonkiller Tunic also got a red gem socket (but just one) with a +10 agility bonus. Alas, this chest piece, with just one socket and haste/mastery secondary stats, will not compete with our other ilvl 359 chest.

Scattered Shots is dedicated to helping you learn everything it takes to be a hunter. From leveling your hunter through optimizing for heroics, pre-heroic loot and pre-raid loot, then on to choosing the right spec for the right job and how to "aspect dance" to maximize your DPS, we've got you covered.

Droid 3 details leaked: dual-core processor, 4-inch qHD screen, no LTE?

You've probably already seen the leaked pictures of the Droid 3, but what you really want to know is what's going on underneath that chrome trim. TechnoBuffalo claims to have the inside scoop and it sounds like the latest landscape slider from Motorola is packing a number of nice improvements. According to a tipster the screen has been upgraded to a 4-inch qHD panel and inside is one of those fancy dual-cores all the cool phones are rockin' these days -- presumably of the Tegra 2 variety like its Droid X2 cousin. As spied in the photos it also has a new 5-row keyboard layout and front facing camera for video calls, while the rear-facing shooter is getting bumped to 8 megapixels. There is one disappointing, but not entirely shocking, detail though -- the Droid 3 will lack LTE. We can't confirm these specs, but they're perfectly logical assumptions and raise no alarms and no surprises.

    Exclamation Does he still think about me? Is it harder for women than men?

    I've been broken up with my ex for 6 months. We dated almost two years and were almost engaged. The breakup was extremely messy and painful. It was pretty obvious that he hated me in the end of the relationship.
    However, after it was over, about a month and a half later, we started talking again. We met up and had sex, but he also spent the night, and cried in my shoulder about how he hated his life and missed me. So I asked if he wanted to go out sometime and try again, and he said no we weren't right for each other. But he said he was miserable.
    We texted about what was going on in each others lives, fairly regularly, at least 5-6 times a week. He lives with his sister now and on a few occasions (we're about 3 months after breakup now) he'd call if everyone was asleep because he was 'lonely and needed someone to talk to.' If I invited him out or to parties he would not come. We had sex once again at this point. (A bad decision, but I was still in love with him and looking good and I wanted him to know that.)
    About 3 and a half months post-breakup, he meets this extremely trashy girl. I'm no Angelina Jolie, but she was very unattractive and also lived trashily. This is not being mean, but a fact. (He does not come from a very good background, his whole family does drugs, and now he does too... long story.) Anyway, they were almost going to date and I just said to him, 'don't lower your standards just to be with someone, you are way more attractive and probably more successful than her.' He lashed out at me crazily, saying at least she wasn't a ***** like me and she was the sweetest girl he ever met and that I shouldn't be so confident, everyone at his workplace asked why he ever dated me, because apparentley they thought I was ugly (which may be a lie, who knows.)
    So that crushed me, obviously. But then, about a week and a half later I get a text "So I never dated that ugly girl. So you know." * * * . * * * . Then he starts talking to me again. And I can't resist it I just want to talk to him even though he makes me feel like ****. We text every once in awhile. Then, last week, same thing happens. He meets someone. We were talking about having sex about two weeks ago. All of a sudden, some girl comes into the picture. I'm texting him, he says he's met someone, and I say jokingly 'I hope you have amazzzing sex.' and I get a call on my phone (voicemail) from his new gf, from his phone, telling me to 'stop making HER boyfriend miserable because that's all they do, and yes they have outrageously amazing wonderful sex, but do I really want him to tell me that?' then I told her basically that I had the right to talk to him, we were practically engaged, and to be wary of trusting him. She told me in a text that they were both laughing at me. Then he called me, high, and told me quote he's 'sorry he ruined my life but deal with it my goddamn self.' and also that 'he never wants to see my f***ing face again.' This is a week after he told me he had been thinking about me.
    So here's the deal. We were in love once. I think about him all the time. I think I hate him, but there was that time and I can't stop caring. What I really want to know is, does he really hate me? If he does why did he talk to me, and cry? Does he think about me like I think about him? Because this behavior seems to come on only when he meets someone, and even though I've met other guys I've never acted like that. It almost seems like he wants me jealous? What is his deal?

    You're driving yourself crazy. I could sit here and speculate with you about this guy but, frankly, he's not worth the times. If he's on drugs and dating trashy girls, why on earth would you want to be with him. Why would you want someone like him dragging you down? Don't you believe that you are worth more than that? Because we all do.

    Look, I'm not going to act like I know what he's thinking. But I can relate to the whole dating for over two years and then getting treated like crap thing. It's not fun. And I know how good it feels to know that they're still thinking about you after all.

    But it's toxic. It is in no way worth it. DO NOT call this guy again, or answer his phone calls. And especially DON'T have sex with him again. Move on and better yourself and make yourself happy while he's busy having sex with random girls and doing drugs with his family.

What happens if someone violates a law that is not fair or just?AMERICAN GOVERNMENT 2

Whether a law is fair or just is in the eye of the beholder -- it's a matter of opinion.  Therefore, when someone violates a law they are subject to whatever punishment the law specifies.  It does not matter whether they think the law is just or unjust.

Many people (like Henry David Thoreau or Martin Luther King, Jr) have argued that people should violate laws that they think are unjust.  However, such people still must be punished if laws are to have any meaning.  If you could break a law just because you say it is unjust, we would be left in a situation of anarchy.

So the short answer to your question is that you get punished just the same no matter whether the law is just or not.

When small-shop retailer Tabitha Geise decided to participate in Black Friday in 2011, she wasn’t sure whether there would be a payoff. Co-owner of The Purple Platypus, a brick-and-mortar children’s specialty-toy store in Lewisburg, Penn., Geise ran her “sale” – 15 percent off one’s total purchase – only between 6 and 10 a.m., during which time she scrutinized customer behavior to assess shopping patterns. Geise had her eureka moment.

“I noticed how the Black Friday customers who came in during those hours shopped,” she says. “They didn’t browse, they knew exactly where the items they wanted were on the shelves, and they paid quickly.”

Revenues during that four-hour span were surprisingly substantial and, the following year, Geise doubled her revenues in those early-morning hours. This year she plans to do it again, and now uses full signage in her store windows highlighting the event. Her mantra? “I stick with my regular merchandise, and don’t bring in new products to offer just for that one day,” she says. “Typically my Black Friday customers gravitate to what they know I stock.”

Related: For a Better Black Friday, Know Your Most Challenging Customers

Geise seems to have found the sweet spot: matching deals to the clientele’s shopping habits. But can small business retailers ever match Black Friday extravaganzas offered by the big-box stores?

“Most entrepreneurs with physical or online retail establishments simply don’t have the financial resources to do what the huge national outfits do,” says Dan de Grandpre, CEO and editor-in-chief of, an online aggregator of consumer retail deals. “Larger stores buy bulk goods which become rock-bottom-priced deals which lose money. Entrepreneurs can’t afford these kinds of losses, so they need to rely on the smarts that made them become entrepreneurs in the first place.”

Here's some advice on how to offer a Black Friday deal.

1. Make it impossible for people to bypass your store. If you’re a cupcake maker, create or decorate your cupcakes in the window, says de Grandpre. “Large retailers know the value of the doorbuster to lure customers inside. Essentially, entrepreneurs who conduct even a small aspect of production in public serve as their own doorbuster and may invite foot traffic.”

2. Let your customers’ shopping preferences guide you. On last year’s Black Friday, Tatiana Chemisov, co-founder and co-owner, with her husband Peter Chemisov, of My Little Jules, an online girls’ clothing and accessories boutique, knocked 15 percent off her customers’ final order. That decision came about because she asked her Facebook fans to participate in a survey. “Our shoppers voted for a percentage discount, rather than price-reduction discounts,” says Chemisov, whose small company competes with and Garnet Hill.

3. Manage your inventory. It’s critical to have enough stock, says de Grandpre. “The last thing you want is to run out of product when you could be making sales.”

4. Never underestimate the element of surprise. One hugely popular Black Friday offering for Chemisov keeps her customers in the dark. She sells her unidentified “surprise gift” item, valued between $25 to $100, for $15, with customers simply inputting their size and seasonal preference. Last year, she sold 161, a large number for her relatively small operation. It’s on her list this year, too. “Customers told us they were thrilled with their top-quality, name-brand items whose retail value were way over the $15 they’d paid.”

5. Be tech-prepared. If you haven’t touched base with your IT consultant for a while, do it now, says de Grandpre. “You want a surge in online business to increase revenues, not crash your web site.”

6. Bolster your customer service. Even though Black Friday is primarily about generous discounts, some consumers still look beyond savings. “Smaller brick-and-mortar retailers should be totally focus on providing customers with a Black-Friday shopping experience that fuels strong word-of-mouth,” says Lisa Haddock, Ph.D., a small business consultant and adjunct professor of marketing at San Diego State University.

Haddock underscores the necessity of having well informed sales people and enough personnel manning the registers. She also suggests serving upscale food and refreshments or, if appropriate for the store, wines or spirits. “Whatever happy customers can tweet or text about is good for business,” says Haddock.

In the end, post-Thanksgiving retailing is as much about establishing relationships with new customers as it is about making sales. “The key is to be memorable, and often the way to do that is experiment to see what works,” says de Grandpre, noting that time to make an impression is in the entrepreneur’s favor. “Black Friday is no longer a day. It’s a season.”

Printing Options Explained

One Color Printing:
One color printing means that your design contains only one ink color. Gray scale designs, contain a range of grays, and is also considered one color printing

Two-Color Printing:
Two color printing means that your design contains two different ink colors.

Full-Color Printing:
All print designs with more than two colors require an ink process called full color printing, which is also known as CMYK. CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (key means black). These four ink colors can be combined to print an unlimited number of colors. Remember, if your design contains more than two colors, select full color.

White Ink Printing:
White ink is a special, unique ink that prints best on darker colored papers and stocks. White ink can be printed with CMYK printing if the design contains white and additional color elements.

Triggertrap Redsnap
Triggertrap is to launch Redsnap, an expandable camera trigger that makes high speed, camera trap and timelapse photography affordable for everyone.

The Triggertrap Redsnap is a fast and easy to use unit that uses interchangable sensor modules that can be snapped on when you need them, and stored away when you don't.

The unit has three outputs, allowing you to connect three cameras, flashes, or a combination of both. It is powered by 2 AA batteries and Triggertrap say it will keep your timelapse running for months.

There are four sensors, high speed light, passive infrared, sound, and high speed laser, which can be combined for triggering from multiple sources, or they can be used seperately for specific projects.

The laser sensor is reportedly capable of capturing a bullet in flight, whilst the sound sensor is ideal for capturing popping balloons.

Triggertrap has allready raised over its fundraising goal of £50,000 with 30 days still to go. The device is set to be available next year. For more information, take a look at the Triggertrap Kickstarter page

Near St. Abbs Head

By WeeGeordieLass
This is a scan of a slide I took in 1998. Santa brought me Elements 10, so I've had a try at editing the original image. I used the Spot Healer to clean up the sky and used the crop tool. The image was taken in portrait mode and I can remember at the time thinking that it would be the best orientation, as it would emphasise the way the white waves seem to echo the shapes of the cliffs jutting out into the sea. I think this crop, making it more of a square image, is better though. I'd be grateful to know if anyone agrees! Also I'm not sure if it's a bit underexposed. I'd be glad of your comments/mods.

Quite nice, but it is a little heavy and contrasty. You don't tell us the original film - looks a bit Kodak to me with a slight blue cast, but the scanning process is critical in getting first rate results. (I've scanned thousands). Assumer it is a 35mm original - for some reason, medium and large format scan much better with minimal trouble - and the biggest problem with scanning 35mm is contrast control. Best to kep it down and increase later in software if necessary, then you get a full range of tones and more shadow detail without burning out highlights.

Thats nice Christmas present. I would listen to Paul on the scanner approach, hes a lot of experience.

Just viewing the image, I can see theres a lot of contrast, and the slight blue tone is most visible in the white wave caps.

I reduced the blue tone, and decreased contrast in the mod. I also sharpened, as this look a little soft. Theres also a black line down the left that might be a scanner shadow, - which I removed in the mod. You can do all of this in Elements 10.

Hope this helps,

Hi Paul & Willie,

Thanks so much for your comments. I'm going to buy my own scanner so the advice there will be very useful Paul.

Thanks for your mod Willie, I compared your image with mine side by side and realised how "hard" my image looked. I hope to recognise when my images are too contrasty in future, and correct this in Elements.

The slide is 35mm Fuji Velvia.

I need to train my eye to recognise casts in images cos I just can't see the blue cast.

Cheers your advice is much appreciated I'm learning loads.

I looked at this yesterday, Elaine, but had nothing to say that hadn't already been said, so will just say how well you have composed this. I do like the format you have chosen. I, too, used to miss colour casts and began to recognise them when I looked at a row of thumbnails of my own pictures, then it stands out a mile. You will eventually start to recognise them. Also, I have found that by using Smart Photo Fix in PaintshopPro, it adjusts the colour and I can then see the change immediately. There is a lot to be said for these quick fixes. You don't have to accept what they do, but they show you possible adjustments, and you can take your pick.

You can use Photoshop to measure a colour cast Elaine.

Use the colour dropper tool, and place it on a spot you know should be white (or black), - in this case the caps of the waves; the dropper will give you a reading of values for R, G and B, which should all be equal, such as 250, 250, 250.

When theres a blue cast, you may see 240, 240, 255 as an example.

Heres a link for a way to remove colour casts:

Thanks Pamelajean and Willie.

I've been playing around with thumbnails and yes.....I can actually see the blue cast in my image. I tried the quick fix in Elements as you suggested Pamelajean and it's great that you can see the difference immediately.

Thanks for the link Willie I'm going to give it a try.

The Science of Hiring the Right PHP Programmers for Your Project

Author : | Category : Tips | Last Updated :

For any project manager, getting the right talent on board is a task fraught with challenges. While there is a sea of options for the taking out there, how do you know that the choice you are making is the choice to be made. And when it boils down to PHP, making the right choice is an especially arduous task.

As an open source programming language, PHP has been serving major software enterprises across the world. PHP has the uncanny ability to put things in the right place when it comes to building dynamic projects that involve big investments, and bigger outputs. There are several ingredients of success. PHP brings all those ingredients together brilliantly, and cooks up a storm that blows away the competitors.

As dramatic as the previous statement may have sounded, there is a gospel truthfulness to the way PHP empowers your development teams to create projects of the highest standards.

This begs the question: how to hire such programmers who can harvest maximum value from this highly utilizable platform? As discussed earlier, there is no lack of talent, but when it comes to finding the right talent, this is where the struggle starts. As someone who ideates, you might have come up with a great idea for the project. But bringing it to reality requires exceptionally skilled programmers and here is how you find them:

Know Who You Want

  • Mid-level Programmers

Are you restricted because of your budget? Will you be content with programmers who possess mid-level skills? Well, if you are looking for beginners or mid level programmers, you might find going a bit easier. Average programmers are huge in numbers. While, they are yet to master their skills, more often than not, the level of commitment emanating from them won’t disappoint you. And because they are still in their learning phase, in their quest to impress you, they might just push the envelope and create a final product that exhibits hard-worked application and innovation.

  • Only the Specialists?

When too much is riding on the project you have spent countless night strategizing about, you would want it to requite every bit of effort and penny, and more. With such aspirations, hiring the connoisseurs of PHP programming will well and truly be your only option. You might as well be placed in an untenable position if you plan to save some extra and instead hire programmers who cannot take their vision forward. Experienced programmers not only have the ability and acumen to develop codes that facilitate highest-level functionality, they also have a great understanding of how things are run in the software business. They have the intuitive capability to evaluate what works and what might not create a stir.

How to Find Them

  • Go Conventional

The mainstream ways to find new hires never ceases to work, precisely because they have a lot of method to them. Advertising a vacant position in news portals will grab many eyeballs, as folks seeking jobs are always looking for such opportunities. Same goes for the online scouting for talent. Create an account on a job portal as an employer and put up a job vacancy. Within hours, your inbox is filled with applications from people all across the country. The applications are accompanied with elaborative resumes to give you a fair idea about the skills and experience of the job seeker, and you can filter out resumes you don’t deem impressive.

While these are the fail-safe methods of scouting talent, a downside to these methods is that you aren’t very sure if the candidates possess the talent you are looking for. More often than not, there is a lot of clutter in the form of resumes you are not at all interested in. However, if you are willing to carry out an extensive scanning process with the help of HRs, it might just work out for you. As an alternative, you can also ask friends for references. You might be knowing someone who is more than willing to help you out and is in contact with the breed of programmers you want; if they had a good experience working with some such people, you might save yourself a lot of time.

  • Choose from PHP Communities

When you don’t have a lot of time, and funds to spend on scanning hundreds of candidates, it will serve you well to look into PHP communities and pick someone from there. There is a large number of PHP communities on the Internet, some of which are flooded with programmers with years of experience and expertise in PHP. These communities are well organized and make it easy for you to come across the kind of programmers you are looking for. While, this method also requires fair bit of effort on side, there is a lesser investment in the terms of money.

By the virtue of this method, you can also opt for offshore programmers who would not only prove to be adept at their jobs, but will also charge you far lesser than what you may have envisaged at the beginning of the project. These are freelancers who are looking for online job opportunities. In the event they are from India, you job may pay them much more than what were earning from the local companies.

Whether you decide to go the traditional way, or find resorting to PHP communities a more viable option, one thing that underlines everything is how good you are at evaluating the options on hand.

One thought on “The Science of Hiring the Right PHP Programmers for Your Project

  1. Yup rightly said now PHP is on top , getting an php developer at right time will really make sense…Good one

Public Release:

Carnegie Mellon announces Liskov and Klemmer will receive Katayanagi Prizes in Computer Science

Carnegie Mellon University

PITTSBURGH--Barbara Liskov, a pioneer in programming languages and distributed systems, and Scott Klemmer, whose human-centered approach is changing the way online systems are designed, are recipients of the fourth annual Katayanagi Prizes in Computer Science.

The prizes honor the best and the brightest in the field of computer science and are presented annually by Carnegie Mellon University in cooperation with the Tokyo University of Technology (TUT). The prizes are endowed by Japanese entrepreneur and education advocate Koh Katayanagi, who founded TUT and several technical institutions in Japan.

Liskov, Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and head of the programming methodology group in MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, will receive the Katayanagi Prize for Research Excellence. The award recognizes an established researcher with a record of outstanding, sustained achievement. It includes a $10,000 honorarium.

Klemmer, associate professor of computer science at Stanford University, where he co-directs the Human-Computer Interaction Group, will receive the Katayanagi Emerging Leadership Prize. This honors a researcher who demonstrates leadership promise in the field. It includes a $5,000 honorarium.

"Both the winners are internationally recognized researchers and they have made outstanding contributions to computer science," said Michiko Kuroda, dean of the TUT School of Computer Science. "I am convinced that their awards enhance the value and authority of the Katayanagi Prize, and these awards will give a significant stimulus to academic and professional activities in computer science and technology."

Klemmer will accept his award and present a public lecture, "The Power of Examples," at 4 p.m., Oct. 13 in the Rashid Auditorium, located on the fourth floor of the Gates and Hillman centers. The talk will examine how examples provide inspiration for designers and will explore the implications of online media, which offer an unprecedented diversity and number of examples. Klemmer's research group has developed tools for harvesting and synthesizing examples and providing them to programmers and end users in such a way as to empower both audiences to creatively design new user interfaces and software programs.

Liskov will accept her award and present a public lecture at 4 p.m., Nov. 10, also in the Rashid Auditorium.

"Barbara Liskov has made many fundamental contributions to computer science, including the development of several important programming languages, new theories of object-oriented programming and important algorithms for managing distributed systems," said Randal E. Bryant, dean of the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science. In 2008, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) recognized those achievements by presenting her the A.M. Turing Award, widely considered computer science's equivalent of the Nobel Prize.

Her work has made software more reliable and easier to maintain. Among her contributions is the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP), which she formalized in 1994 with Jeannette Wing, now head of Carnegie Mellon's Computer Science Department. Programmers routinely define new types of objects from existing ones, such as through class hierarchies in languages such as Java or C#. LSP characterizes when it is safe to substitute an object of a subtype for an object of the parent type, thus preventing strange behaviors when the program is run.

In addition to the Turing Award, Liskov was the recipient of the IEEE John von Neumann Medal in 2004. She is a Fellow of the ACM and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. She was the first U.S. woman to receive a Ph.D. from a computer science department, which she earned at Stanford in 1968.

Klemmer joined the Stanford faculty in 2004, after earning his Ph.D. in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. "Scott Klemmer is considered to be one of the rising stars in human-computer interaction," Bryant said. "He is best known for his work investigating how software tools can increase the quality of people's creative work -- especially the quality of interface design and programming.

"Klemmer's work brings together approaches from computer science, design and psychology to increase creativity in populations as diverse as novice webpage makers, interface designers, and expert programmers. Organizations around the world use his lab's open-source design tools and curricula," Bryant said.

In addition to the Katayanagi Prize, Klemmer is the recipient of such honors as the Sloan Fellowship, National Science Foundation CAREER Award and Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship.
