PRESENT: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE INDRAJIT MAHANTY. Date of hearing: 21.12.2007 Date of Judgmentzgig .O8.2008 I.Mahanty, J. The petitioner--M/s. Shakti Bricks, represented by its Proprietor Sri Bibhuti Bhusan Mishra, has filed this writ application seeking a direction to the District Administration as well as the police authorities to provide protection to the life and property of the petitioner who claims to be threatened by the private opposite parties 5 and 6 who are allegedly restraining them from carrying on their business activity and trade. 2. I In course of proceeding, certain intervenors either supporting the petitioner intervened and they were impleaded as opposite parties 7 and 8. 3. The main grounds of challenge as narrated in this writ application are : (a) The freedom of carrying on occupation, trade and ' business is one of the Fundamental Rights of a citizen of this country provided under Article 19(l)(g) of the Constitution of India. The petitioner's industry which has been lawfully registered and is supposed to carry on his business but then only because he could not satisfy the demand of the private opposite parties, they have been creating illegal impediment by blocking the village road for transporting the materials from the petitioner's industry. (b) As a result, the loss suffered by the petitioner is huge and enormous. In View of the illegal act of the opposite parties, the petitioner's right of carrying on business and occupation is affected and the District Administration who are 'authorities of the State are supposed to protect the same by preventing the illegalities being committed.' Though the petitioner has sought for protection by representation to all the authorities, inaction on their part is unjust, illegal and contrary to law. 4. The petitioner asserts that the petitioner-firm is a registered as an industrial unit under the District Industries Centre and the petitioner and his family members have been carrying on business of Brick Kiln Unit for more than 15 years, over 8-10 acres of land said 'to be recorded in their favour under Routrapur Mouza. He asserts that the property over which the Brick.-Kiln is situated stands recorded in the name' of the petitioner's father. It is also assertedithat the Brick Kiln is located about 26 K.Ms and 24 K.Ms from N.H.--5 and N.H.53 and the railway line respectively. The petitioner states that for the purpose of running his business, he has obtained "No Objection Certificate" from the Tahasildar, Bonth and the Unit has also obtained "consent order" for carrying on business of Brick Kiln as required under Section 21 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 from the Orissa Pollution Control Board. It is also asserted that the initial consent order granted by the Pollution Control Board on 24.12.2005
was originally valid upto 31.3.2006 and on expiry of the same, the petitioner has applied for renewal of consent and such renewal has been granted in favour of the petitioner extending the same up to 31.3.2011.
5. The petitioner contended that the younger brother of the petitioner had entered into an agreement with Nrusingha Nath Jew Trust Board for utilizing their sandy soil for the purpose of preparing raw material for the Brick Kiln business under Routrapur Mouza. It is stated that the local Tahasildar objective to the same, effected seizure of the raw bricks manufactured by same sandy soil obtained from Nrusingha Nath Jew Trust Board and put the same to public auction. The petitioners' younger brother being the highest bidder offered Rs.l lakh and on being successful, deposited the said amount of Rs.l lakh with the Revenue Authority and took possession of the bricks.
6. The petitioner submits that for carrying coal, which is required for the purpose of ﬁring the brick kiln, the petitioner had to use the only passage for transport such materials, which runs through the village Patkura. It is stated that some anti-socials and criminals of the locality, named in the petition including opposite parties 5 and 6, demanded huge amount of contribution from the petitioner and since the petitioner did not support their demands, they obstructed the passage running through their village byputting an unauthorized gate-
and started demanding contribution from all the trucks carrying materials to and from the petitioner's unit as well as from the labourers, working in the said unit. It is further submitted that the persons named in paragraph-10 of the petition also assaulted the Tahasildar, Bonth While he was carrying on auction of raw materials and the Tahasildar has lodged an F.I.R. before the police against such anti-socials, some of whom were arrested and some remain absconding.
7. It is stated that since no furtherlaction was taken against the said law breakers, the petitioner had to approach this Court in W.P.(Crl.) No.51 of 2007 and this Court was pleased to dispose of the same by directing the O.l.C., Agarpada P.S. to take appropriate action against the accused persons. It appears that the accused persons had approached this Court and obtained bail and it is alleged that, those accused persons taking advantage of the bail order granted by this Court, carried on committing similar activities and whenever the petitioner's trucks loaded with coal and/ or bricks were sought to be carried over the public road, these accused persons with their supporters blocked the passage by sitting in front of the vehicle, as a result of which the petitioner's business activities have come to a standstill. It is further asserted that on an occasion, the petitioner's truck driver was assaulted by the accused persons and when he lodged the F.I.R. against them, no action whatsoever has been taken against them. Accordingly, the petitioner has ﬁled the Writ application praying for issue of writ of certiorari and/ or mandamous and/ or any other directions commanding the Superintendent of Police, Bhadrak to provide adequate police protection to the petitioner for carrying on his trade or business.
8. A counter affidavit dated 23.7.2007 has been f1led'by opposite party No.4-O.I.C., Agarpada P.S. alleging therein that the petitioner had not obtained any permission from the competent authority regarding running of his Brick Kiln for the year 2006-07 for which the Tahasildar, Bonth had been to Brick Kiln of the petitioner for spot enquiry and had submitted an enquiry report dated 26.6.2007 stating that the petitioner had manufactured bricks unauthorisedly. The O.I.C. avers that during the spot enquiry of the Tahasildar, he noticed one Check-gate had been putting in the village road for collecting Chanda (Donation) from each truck carrying bricks. It appears that villagers" to remove the check--gate from the village road as it is a public road but the villagers opposed him and on the written report of the Tahasildar, Agarpada P.S. Case No.1/2007 was registered under Sections 143, 342, 294, 353, 506 85 149 l.P.C. read with Section--3 SC/ST (P.A.) Act against 11 accused persons. It is further stated that in course of -
investigation, four accused persons had obtained anticipatory bail from this Court and one accused was arrested and forwarded to the court and other accused persons surrendered in the court of S.D.J.M., Bhadrak and were released on bail subsequently. In paragraph~11 of the said counter afﬁdavit, it is averred by the O.I.C. that subsequent to the representation made by the petitioner, the police has taken adequate protective measures and has also registered cases and apprehended some accused persons. It is further stated therein that since lifting of brick is a continuous affair, it is not possible on the part of the police to provide continuous protection.
A further 'additional affidavit' on behalf of opposite party No.4--O.I.C., Agarpada P.S. was filed on 31.10.2007, alleging that the petitioner had manufactured bricks unlawfully and for the said purpose thetpetitioner had appeared before the Tahasildar, Bonth on 12.7.2007 O\ and on admitting that he had manufactured bricks unauthorisedly, he agreed to pay penalty for it. But till date the petitioner has not paid any penalty and, therefore, he is not entitled to the relief sought for in the writ application. Further, it is stated therein that no police protection shall be given to the petitioner for shifting of his ﬁnished products or otherwise as it would put the entire district administration and police in bad light and will only boost the confidence of people violating laws for their petty self-interest. It is also averred that it can lead to serious law and order problems in the areas in future.
'9. M " 'lniitheifrejoinder"afﬁdavit filed by the petitioner in reply to the counter afﬁdavit of O.P.4-O.I.C., it is stated that the petitioner's industry which has been lawfully established, should be allowed to use the public road and the proceeding against the petitioner initiated by the Tahasildar, _Bonth vide case No.3 / 2007-O8 imposing penalty and royalty of Rs.60,000/--, has been closed with the petitioner's depositing _ the demanded amount and, therefore, there could be noquestion of petitioner's business activities being Violative of any statutory provision. It is further averred that the petitioner is entitled for protection of his life and property as guaranteed under Article 21 read with Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India and it is the constitutional obligation of the police to provide protection to the citizens and denying the said protection amounts to be the violation of the petitioner's constitutional rights.
10. As noted hereinabove, a group of persons headed by one Narayan Ch. Bhutia claiming to be the villagers of village Pattakana have been impleaded as opposite party no.7. In their intervention application, the interveners claim that the petitioner was excavating earth from the embankment of the river Shalandi which belongs to the Irrigation Department, Govt. of Orissa and adjacent reserve communal (Gochar) land belonging to the deity Sri Nrushinghanath Dev under the admi.nistrative control of the Endowment Department. They asserted that the petitioners have been carrying on illegal Brick Kiln for more than 15 years by removing thousands of trees from adjoining government land and their actions have been resulted in "soil erosion, environmental pollution and ecological imbalance, due to which over 1000 acres of agricultural land lost its fertility and become unﬁt for agricultural operation. It is contended that the soil erosion and excavation of earth near to the bed of river Salandi causes weakness to the embankment and therefore, there is every possibility of ﬂood to the adjoining villagers. Apart from the aforesaid factual assertions, it is averred by the intervenors that Rule--3 of the Orissa Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1990 (in short '1990 Rules') providesthat no person shall undertake any quarrying operations for the purpose of extraction, collection and/ or removal of minor minerals, except under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of quarry lease, permit and / or auction sale provided under these rules. It is further submitted that Rule 24(1) of the 1990 Rules provides that whoever contravenes the provisions of Rule--3 shall be liable to punishment with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months or with ﬁne which may extend to Rs.1000/- only or both. It issubmitted that the petitioner and his family members have contravened the provisions mentioned in Rule--24(1) of 1990 Rules and are liable for the penalty under the same and the bricks made by the earth extracted by violating Ru1e--20 becomes property of the Government and, therefore, neither the petitioner nor his family members have any right on those bricks. Therefore, no direction should be issued to provide police help from taking away these bricks. i
11. A further set of interveners headed by Arun Kumar Prusty, have intervened and have been impleaded as opposite party no.8 in the present proceeding. They, on the other hand, support the prayer of the lit.' petitioner and state that_they are belonging to the village Patkana and are labourers Working in the petitioner's industry and state that their livelihood is at stake since the private opposite parties and interveners who are villagers of Mouza Routrapur are preventing the petitioner's vehicle from moving through the village which is the only road thereby affecting their livelihood. They asserts that the industry in question is not creating any kind of hazard to the intervener no.7 and asserts that private opposite parties 5 and 6 demanded huge amount of "batti" (donation) from the petitioner as a pre--condition for carrying on such business.
12. In the light of the aforesaid controversy since opposite party no.3 (Tahasildar) had not filed any counter afﬁdavit, a direction was issued to the Tahasildar, Bonth on 4.12.2007 directing him to file an afﬁdavit indicating the legal impediment if any exists for not granting the prayer sought for by the petitioner. In terms of the said direction, an affidavit was filed by the Tahasildar--O.P.3 on 18.12.2007. From this afﬁdavit, it appears that the petitioner's firm Which operates a Brick Kiln is situated at Routrapur and the land on which the Brick Kiln is located, stands recorded in the name of Bibhuti Bhusana Mishra, the proprietor of petitioner-firm. The Tahasildar further stated. that the petitioner had manufactured approximately 17.5 lakhs of bricks Without the prior permission of the competent authority and that the petitioner had deposited an amount of Rs.60,600/-- towards penalty, royalty etc. on 27.09.2007. Most importantly, the Tahasildar has stated in paragraph--5 that the petitioner had manufactured the above bricks "using his own land".
In the light of the aforesaid contention and/ or the averments of the Tahasildar in his afﬁdavit, it is apparent that the petitioner--ﬁrm is a registered small-scale 'industry manufacturing bricks and is located at Routrapur Mouza. This unit was issued a "No Objection Certificate" by the Tahasildar on 11.3.2003 and the State "Pollution Control Board has also given its consent to the petitioner to operate the brick kiln and the said consent is valid up to 31.3.2011. The assertion of the petitioner is that the petitioner's unit is established over his own land which is accepted by the Tahasildar in his counter affidavit. The sale of 2.5 lakhs bricks on the allegation of non-payment of royalty, is also an admitted fact.iIt is also a matter of fact that the petitioner's brother, being the highest bidder at the public auction, had paid Rs. 1 lakh to the Revenue Authority and purchased those bricks in auction. It is also a further matter of record that there is only public road which runs through the village Patakana for communicating to and from the petitioner's unit.
13. In the light of the averments made in the various affidavits, noted hereinabove, it is clear that the issues raised against operation of the petitioner's Brick Kiln were raised for the ﬁrst time only during the month of January, 2007 and not on any point of time earlier thereto. The "assertion made by" the petitioner is that certain individuals belonging to Routrapur Mouza started demanding "dada batti" (forced donation) from each truck going to and from the unit of the petitioner, is borne out from the Spot Enquiry Report of the Tahasildar. It is averred by the O.l.C., Agarpada in his counter afﬁdavit that villagers of Mouza Patakana had set up a "check gate" on the village public road and that when the Tahasildar requested them to remove the same, the relevant law and order situation compelled the Tahasildar to lodge F.I.R. under various sections of I.P.C before the local police.
14. The assertions made by the intervener--O.P.7 that the petitioner's unit has been situated on Govt. Gochar land and causing environmental pollution and endangers to the villagers at large, is not borne out from the records. The affidavit of the Tahasildar indicates that the petitioner's Brick Kiln is located on his "oWn private land". In so far as. the environmental pollution is concerned, the petitioner has annexed as Annexure-4, the consent of the State Pollution Control Board to operate the Brick Kiln in question and the same is valid till 31.3.201 1. In so far as danger to the villagers is concerned, the same is not afﬁrmed by the Tahasildar in his affidavit and on the contrary, the Tahasildar himself has granted "No Objection Certificate" on 11.3.2003 for operating the brick kiln and such allegation to the contrary made by the intervenors cannot be accepted.
The only objection raised by the O.I.C. in his counter afﬁdavit is that by the date of the said affidavit the petitioner had not I paid the assessed penalty as demanded, but the Tahasildar has ' accepted the fact that the petitioner had deposited the said assessed penalty of Rs.60,600/-- in respect of 17,50,000 bricks.
15. In the light of the aforesaid fact, it now becomesimportant to determine as to whether the prayer of the petitioner seeking direction to the Superintendent of Police to provide necessary legal protection to carry on the trade/ business should be passed or not ? The O.I.C. in one of its counter affidavit has asserted that the brick business being' a .
continuous activity, necessary protection cannot be provided and there is likelihood of the law and order situation, that may arises if such direction is issued.
Hence, it is relevant to quote Articles 21 and l9(1)(g) of the Constitution of India hereinbelovv:
"21. Protection of life and personal liberty.-- No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law. I . 19. Protection of certain rights regarding freedom of speech, etc.-(1) All citizens shall have the right-
(g) to practise any profession, or to carry on any occupation, trade or business."
Article 19(l)(g), is contained in part-III of the Constitution under the heading Fundamental Rights of India. In terms thereof, all citizens of India have a right to practise any profession, or to carry on any occupation, trade or business. In terms of the said Constitutional right, the petitioner having obtained "No Objection Certiﬁcation" from the Tahasildar in 2003 and having registered itself in the District Industry Center as small-scale industry and further, after having obtained the necessary consent from the said Pollution Control Board which remains valid as on date, is entitled and is guaranteed the right to carry on his occupation trade or business by the Constitution of India. The petitioner who is also a citizen of India is entitled not to be deprived of his personal liberty except in accordance with to the procedure established by law as guaranteed under Article--2l. Both the Articles read together along with the fact that the Tahasildar, Bonth admits that there is no legal impediment for the petitioner to carry on his business, justiﬁes the petitioners' prayer. .
16. In view of these facts, it is the constitutional obligation of the State and its agencies including the police to ensure that no impediments are cast on a citizen from practicing his profession or carrying on any occupation, trade or business.
In the present case, I am of the considered view that the stand of the police authorities that they are not in a position to provide necessary protection, is clearly opposed to the constitutional rights guaranteed under the Constitution to every citizen of India. Since I am of the considered View that there is no legal impediment for the petitioner from carrying on his business or occupation and/ or since no legal impediment has been cited and/ or brought to my notice, the police authorities are duty bound and are under a Constitutional obligation to every citizen including the petitioner to provide all 12 necessary assistance so that lawful business can be carried on. It needs to be kept in my mind that demand for unlawful donation for various oblique purposes, and it is proved in this case that the villagers had set up a check-gate on a public road and the Tahasildar has.
directed to remove the same. I reiterate that it is obligatory on the part of the District Administration as well as the police authorities to ensure that no such unlawful act, such as setting up of check-gates for the purpose of collecting donation, should be allowed and whenever such gates being put up, immediate actions should be taken to remove the same and to take appropriate action against the persons who have erected such gates for such unlawful purposes. No doubt, the local villagers may have certain complaints against the industries operating in their locality and it is open for such villagers to make representation or to act as law--abiding citizens by bringing it to the notice of appropriate authorities. Even if any infraction ever occurs, neither the Constitution of India nor the law of this country authorize any individual or group of individuals to take law into their own hands and to start collecting donations by setting up check--gates/ road blocks at 7 their respective villages over public roads and. thereby impeding the lawful business of any citizen.
17. In View of the conclusions arrived by me hereinabove, the District Collector, Bhadrak and the Superintendent of Police, Bhadrak e as well as the O.I.C., Agarpada are directed to provide all necessary V. assistance in order toensure that the public road is permitted to be i used by all persons including the petitioner without any impediment"
and] or inconvenience. In case of any obstruction to the movement of such vehicle to and from the petitioner's Brick Kiln, immediate assistance and prosecution against the accused persons must be taken immediately. For such purposes, if required, the police may set up a out--post to be located at the village along with necessary police ,.\-s»cq«4i-rLmlenn.m':n~m»Maw... ., t . .,...,., .. ., ms, .,._...,_.-MW;-.a.
personnel to ensure compliance of those directions. This would be the only manner by which the rule of law can be enforced and at the same time, the obligation of the 'State to its citizens can be fulfilled.
18. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed with the aforesaid directions.

One of the principal objectives of SBMA is to create jobs through vibrant economic activity in order to address the needs of the people of the cities and municipalities surrounding the former Subic Bay Naval Base (Sec. 113, I.R.R., R.A. 7227). The SBMA adopts a policy of industrial peace, harmony and productivity within the SBF giving due consideration to the new concept of the Freeport in order to establish a business and commercial atmosphere which encourages investments and simultaneously promotes and enhances the lives and dignity of all workers. To help attain this objective, a Labor Center responsible for studying and amicably settling professional and labor relations and disputes, interpretation of employment contracts, and monitoring work hygiene and safety standards within the SBF, was established within the SBMA. (Chap. X, C. Sec. 115, I.R.R. of R.A. 7227).

/Starship Troopers/ hovers somewhere between a spoof of 1950s American propaganda films and a tongue-in-cheek action movie, and probably would have benefitted from being one or the other rather than not quite either. The film falls short of being true satire, but although /Dr Strangelove/ it ain't, it nevertheless has an idiosyncratic appeal.
One of the most prized videos in my collection is a documentary called /Atomic Cafe/, a collage of early nuclear-age American propaganda films: clumsy, jingoistic, and riddled with half-truths, they are the chilling testimonies of a government hoping desperately to appear in control of a situation which it is not. The opening scenes of /Starship Troopers/ are clearly drawing on the language of these films, but sadly, this "frame" for the story is largely lost, recurring only intermittently throughout the film. When it comes back right at the very end, with the on-screen reminder to the audience that the fight against the bugs is continuing and that the Troopers are going to WIN!, the effect has been undermined to the point where it really doesn't hold any more meaning. This is a pity, as with a more consistent push in this direction, /Starship Troopers/ might have been a much more blackly humourous piece.
On the other hand, this "frame" may have been discarded completely, making /Starship Troopers/ comparable to such films as the /Evil Dead/ series, or Peter Jackson's efforts such as /Bad Taste/ and /Brain Dead/, or director Paul Verhoeven's own /The Running Man/. The over-the-top, excessive violence of the boot camp scenes early in the film seems to point in this direction, but its sheer gratuitousness is not followed through in the rest of the movie. Similarly, if it is to be read in this light, the ending is left very weak indeed, and on this count alone, the movie doesn't really work as an action film, tongue-in-cheek or not.
Leaving generic considerations aside, perhaps the greatest strengths of the film are in its imagery and visual language. The use of the Nazi- (even Gestapo-) style uniforms for the Troopers is predictable, but noteworthy for the way in which they send dissonant visual cues to the audience. Since this style of uniform is meant to say "evil", the fact that the protagonists are shown wearing them signals that something is very much amiss in the society being portrayed. The impossibly flawless looks of the main cast, especially when juxtaposed with the Ms and Mr Average looks of the rest of the soldiers, are another sign to the viewer that this is supposed to be caricature, not realism. Another interesting piece of imagery is the design of the major evil in the film - the "Brain Bug" revealed close to the end of the movie. Like all war films, /Starship Troopers/ is packed with phallic imagery, in this case mostly belonging to the protagonists in the form of their weaponry.
Comparisons of the film's imagery to James Cameron's /Aliens/ is inevitable, and this introduces some interesting intertextualities, since /Aliens/ seems to have been inspired in some ways by Heinlein's original /Starship Troopers/ novel. The Troopers wear very similar helmets and armour to the Marines in /Alien/, and the aliens in the two films move and behave in the same insect-like fashion. Indeed, one of the Marines in /Aliens/ asks whether the mission they are on is going to be "just another bug hunt". The scenes in /Starship Troopers/ where the subterranean tunnels are being explored bear a strong resemblance to Cameron's film, even to the point of a wounded soldier being left behind by his companions with a live grenade in order to take some of the enemy out with him when it goes off. The soft sponginess of the brain-bug also echoes the spongy egg-laying apparatus of the alien queen in /Aliens/. There are other equally loose similarities to be found in the way in which the soldiers are strapped into their "drop ships" (called the same in both films) and in the soldiers' explorations of a human "last stand" against the aliens in both films (incidentally, both films also have powers-that-be deliberately exposing humans to the alien menace for the sake of scientific research).
Dismemberment also provides strong images in both films, with /Starship Troopers'/ bugs literally tearing humans limb from limb in the same way that the Alien Queen dismembers Bishop near the end of /Aliens/. Many of the older characters in /Starship Troopers/ also have missing limbs which serve as a permanent reminder of their encounters with the bugs, as the dismembered doll's head that Newt carries around with her reminds her of hers.
Really, there's not much more to say about this film. Being as tongue-in-cheek and caricaturish as it is, there is little in the way of script, acting, or direction that can be discussed in any depth. Suffice to say, then, that /Starship Troopers/ is an enjoyable, although predictable, film that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're looking for serious drama, clever satire, or light entertainment, this isn't the place to look, but if you enjoy B-grade sci-fi action laced with traces of political cynicism, this is definitely worth a look.

The Garden City membership process is simple yet thorough. We simply want to assess two things: 1) Are you a Christian? 2) Do you understand what it means to be passionately committed to and function as a healthy member of this particular local church? To help you and to help us along this path, our membership process involves 3 steps:
Step 1: Explore
Join a Life Group, listen to the most recent Vision Sermon Series (we aim to preach a fresh vision series each year, generally in the fall), and study the Garden City Church Membership Handbook.
Step 2: Interview
Fill out the Garden City Membership Application. Once you submit your application to your Life Group leader, they will schedule your membership interview with you. These interviews are generally brief, yet thorough. Your LG leader will interview you to assess if 1) you clearly understand what we expect of Garden City members 2) you are ready to make this commitment. When you pass the interview, you move to step three.
Step 3: Go Public
Sign the Garden City Membership Covenant and “go public” with your membership commitment. At our next Membership Sunday (these happen quarterly) you will stand up front with all the other new members and will be prayed for by the whole church.
Note: If you haven‘t yet been baptized, you also commit to being baptized at our next Baptism Sunday.


EYE FOR AN EYE A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 3.5 Alternative Scale: *1/2 out of ****
United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 1/12/96 (wide) Running Length: 1:41 MPAA Classification: R (Violence, profanity, mature themes) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Sally Field, Kiefer Sutherland, Ed Harris, Beverly D'Angelo, Joe Mantegna, Alexandra Kyle, Charlayne Woodard Director: John Schlesinger Producers: Michael I. Levy Screenplay: Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa based on the novel by Erika Holzer Cinematography: Amir M. Mokri Music: James Newton Howard U.S. Distributor: Paramount Pictures
EYE FOR AN EYE, the latest from director John Schlesinger (MIDNIGHT COWBOY, SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY), opens with a promising, if disturbing, premise: a woman stuck in traffic hears the rape and murder of her teenage daughter over a cellular phone. This is the kind of incident that can cause a complete psychological collapse, but the script isn't interested in real drama. And, when the killer gets off on a contrived technicality, EYE FOR AN EYE doesn't ask many tough moral questions, and those few it does pose, it has no intention of really addressing. This is a misfired attempt to create a new THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE- type thriller, not an examination of psychological and emotional trauma. The result is as fundamentally distasteful as last year's THE TIE THAT BINDS.
The McCanns are a happy, middle-class American family: parents Karen (Sally Field) and Mack (Ed Harris), 15-year old daughter Julie (Olivia Burnette), and little girl Megan (Alexandra Kyle). One morning, everything is perfect, but by nightfall, it has turned to a nightmare. A psycho-sicko deliveryman named Doob (Kiefer Sutherland) rapes and murders Julie while her mother listens helplessly on a car phone. After being arrested, the killer is let go because of an improper procedure on the part of the DA. Doob promptly begins stalking another woman and making threatening advances towards Megan. Karen, convinced that justice is impotent, takes measures of her own, including obtaining a gun and learning how to use it. Then, with the aid of two vigilantes, she plans her retribution, Old Testament style.
A solid cast doesn't always equate to a good movie, as EYE FOR AN EYE demonstrates. Sally Field, Ed Harris, Kiefer Sutherland, and Ed Harris are all accomplished actors, but their performances here are adequate at best. (And who can blame them, given the low quality of the material?) Sutherland is especially shortchanged by his character, a lunatic nasty with no redeemable or human qualities whose sole purpose is to be hated by the audience. For EYE TO AN EYE to work on its own least-common-denominator terms, this is necessary.
The longer the film runs, the more preposterous the story becomes, abandoning any sort of semblance of reality in favor of the ultimate revenge scenario. EYE FOR AN EYE forces its way towards an inevitable conclusion. It's not believable, but it is predictable, and that's exactly what a thoroughly manipulated audience will want at that point. Does it take much savvy to guess which character is going to get their just desserts in the movie's final reel?
EYE FOR AN EYE is one of three pictures currently in theaters about parents coping with the deaths of children. Both of the others, THE CROSSING GUARD and DEAD MEN WALKING, are vastly superior, and the latter, a thoughtful examination of some of the same issues that drive this film, makes EYE FOR AN EYE look like puerile rubbish. Despite paying lip service to high ideals, Schlesinger's movie has no moral compass, and is only interested in delivering cheap thrills.

[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> we have similar tech but focus on slightly different things, I would say
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> I see it on Twitter
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> I have been involved with Pirate since the day it started
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> but I remember reading about something on Hush and metadata, is that a feature that ARRR also has, or it's unique to Hush?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Hush is a much older project
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> OK, I've also been following ARRR from the beginning
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Hush+Pirate use about 90% of the same code. Both have Sapling shielded transactions. Pirate enforces them, while Hush still allows old non-private stuff. Hush has smart contracts, while Pirate does not, since they are not currently compatible with zaddrs
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> ah...ok...didn't realise Hush had smart contracts
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Pirate is more focused on financial privacy and Hush is more focused on communication privacy. The very internals are very similar, but the layers in the middle and the top (the GUIs/etc) is where they different. And their supply curves/etc
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> We just added smart contracts to Hush in April with our new mainnet
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> we haven't really marketed that much yet
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> OK now I understand better
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> and the messenger is still being built I think, not ready yet
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> we have KMD-style cryptoconditions (which are now rebranded to Antara Modules, i think)
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @D2D by "messenger" you mean SilentDragon, we have windows binaries and source release here: https://github.com/MyHush/SilentDragon/releases
A desktop full node GUI wallet for HUSH. Contribute to MyHush/SilentDragon development by creating an account on GitHub.
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> it does have the beginnings of "messenger-like functionality", but the UI is still being worked on. You can send me a message via "Help -> Send Duke Feedback", or send a random person a text message up to 512 bytes
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> "not ready yet" is a perpetual state in cryptocoins
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Everything is always being worked on
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> Yes that's how it's also called on your site:, says: "Private Cryptocurrency and Messenger on Zero Knowledge Proof Encryption"
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> OK so it's basically at a good stage
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> In the future hopefully on app stores too
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> I asked this question also on Komodo today...if someone launches a blockchain on Komodo, you have all the features you need and it's great, but I don't think there is an infrastructure similar to Ethereum, with wallets like Metamask, for dapps. Or maybe there is?
(edited)
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @D2D there is, but web-based wallets like Metamask don't exist in Bitcoin world, because mostly people don't think they are safe. I surely don't
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Never ever trust your private keys to a browser.
(edited)
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> KMD does have many GUI mobile + desktop wallets that support asset chains, explorers, many things
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @D2D I don't mean to be mean, but KMD tech actually works. I haven' seen ETH tech that people use, but I know very little about ETH world
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> I think KMD is safer, more scalable and private, so it's better
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> ETH was the best thing to make non-mineable tokens for a few minutes, but that is not a feature that should make it worth anything now. A bajillion projects, including KMD, can do that for you, cheaper and better
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> And KMD doesn't tax you for every transaction on your chain
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> ETH gas/etc
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> but it's hard to create something that uses the coins I think
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> Ethereum has a lot for that
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> https://composer.kmd.io/ changes a lot
Antara Composer lets anyone customize and launch a Smart Chain, complete with full seed nodes and mining nodes, in just minutes.
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> They are not great, I mean Metamask is clunky
(edited)
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> it's directly competing with ETH, to make things easier
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> There was no GUI to make HUSH, it's way beyond the scope of a GUI builder like that. It's got a lot of custom stuff. But that GUI chain builder enables so many people to make custom KMD chains, with no CLI requirements.
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> Yes I mean that is fantastic, I saw it today
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> (Composer)
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> This is why Hush transitioned from our own custom codebase to a KMD-based codebase
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> and various other reasons
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> also, since I am a KMD dev, I wrote a lot of code that went into Hush + KMD. Using KMD meant I only had to write half as much code
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> But Ethereum I think is ahead for building dapps, just in terms of infrastructure
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> It's falling apart
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> !ticker eth
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Hush is not interested in competing against ETH. KMD is doing that
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> But we do have smart contracts
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> I'm asking because I think Komodo has better security, privacy and scalability
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> (than Ethereum)
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> we have a few of those contracts enabled, and basically, you can make an instance of a contract with your own addresses/etc
[dscrd-hush] <franciscana23> good afternoon friends
[dscrd-hush] <D2D> good afternoon
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> !tip @franciscana23 25 hush
[dscrd-hush] <Discordtip> :money_mouth: @dukeleto sent @franciscana23 25.00 HUSH (≈ $0.89).
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @franciscana23 tell us some news from Venezuela, what is the "word on the street" ?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> I dont trust any news I hear from traditional outlets, especially on Venezuela
[dscrd-hush] <AkiraX> Wow. Blood bath
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> It's a good time to mine
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Whenever price takes a dive, silly short-sighted miners react to that, migrating to coins that seem to have higher profit or turning off rigs. This is when you can mine a lot when diff is low
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @franciscana23 do you do any mining in Venezuela? I am fascinated by things down there, the cost of electricity/gas allows for many things

Mountain running has been my passion ever since I spent 8 months in Annecy (French Alps). I started running in the mountains without really knowing that there was a sport like this. Until then, I thought all running races where on simple trails and streets and not on technical trails high up in the alps.
Eversince, I try to get into the mountains as much as I can and just run and explore in the mountains for several hours. If my strict summer schedule permits I also like to participate in mountain races.
I have skied cross country competitively since I was about 7 years old. This is the sport that taught me to love exercising and being in nature. Also I have been able to collect a sports scholarship for Nordic Skiing at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, for which I am competing at NCAA DI level during my undergraduate college years.

Camellia sinensis is an evergreen plant that grows mainly in tropical and subtropical climates. Some varieties can also tolerate marine climates and are cultivated as far north as Cornwall in England, Perthshire in Scotland, Washington state in the United States, and Vancouver Island in Canada. In the Southern Hemisphere, tea is grown as far south as Hobart on the Australian island of Tasmania and Waikato in New Zealand.
Tea plants are propagated from seed and cuttings; about 4 to 12 years are needed for a plant to bear seed and about three years before a new plant is ready for harvesting. In addition to a zone 8 climate or warmer, tea plants require at least 127 cm (50 in) of rainfall a year and prefer acidic soils. Many high-quality tea plants are cultivated at elevations of up to 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level. Though at these heights the plants grow more slowly, they acquire a better flavour.
Two principal varieties are used: Camellia sinensis var. sinensis, which is used for most Chinese, Formosan and Japanese teas, and C. sinensis var. assamica, used in Pu-erh and most Indian teas (but not Darjeeling). Within these botanical varieties, many strains and modern clonal varieties are known. Leaf size is the chief criterion for the classification of tea plants, with three primary classifications being Assam type, characterised by the largest leaves; China type, characterised by the smallest leaves; and Cambodian type, characterised by leaves of intermediate size. The Cambod type tea (C. assamica subsp. lasiocaly) was originally considered a type of assam tea. However, later genetic work showed that it is a hybrid between Chinese small leaf tea and assam type tea. Darjeeling tea also appears to be hybrids between Chinese small leaf tea and assam type tea.
A tea plant will grow into a tree of up to 16 m (52 ft) if left undisturbed, but cultivated plants are generally pruned to waist height for ease of plucking. Also, the short plants bear more new shoots which provide new and tender leaves and increase the quality of the tea.
Only the top 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of the mature plant are picked. These buds and leaves are called 'flushes'. A plant will grow a new flush every seven to 15 days during the growing season. Leaves that are slow in development tend to produce better-flavoured teas. Several teas are available from specified flushes; for example, Darjeeling tea is available as first flush (at a premium price), second flush, monsoon and autumn. Assam second flush or "tippy" tea is considered superior to first flush, due to the gold tips that appear on the leaves.
Pests of tea include mosquito bugs of the genus Helopeltis (which are true bugs that must not be confused with the dipteran) that can tatter leaves, so they may be sprayed with insecticides. In addition, there may be Lepidopteran leaf feeders and various tea diseases.


Hi everyone , i am very new to this forum , i have a thermal store that i wish to monitor the temperature at the top and bottom of the store , i have a raspberry pi and standard expansion board to which i have connected 2 x cable ds18b20 sensors , i have a python script that queries the sensors and sends the data to google spreadsheet , this works ok
what i would like to know is just using the hardware i have can i send the data to emoncms so i can view the data in a nice format? , if so can someone point me to any guides on how to do this ? Many many thanks in advance ......
Re: Raspberry pi and ds18b20
Hi.
I did a software bridge in python, for send 1-wire temp data to emoncms , using the raspberry 1-wire bus managed by kernel on GPIO4.
This script use mysql db to store the unique 64bit (8 byte) address and for convert this value
in human readable format ( ex. 'room temperature' instead of '10-00080082fd88' )
The name of DB is homeaut where there is a table called 'sensors'.
create this table using s sql command :
-- Database: `homeaut`
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `sensors` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`enabled` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`address` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ;
Edit the script 1wireTempRead.py and :
-In line 51 set your correct emoncms url
-in line 54 set your user and pasword for mysql user
-in line 76 set the apikey of your emoncms installation
Save the script in this path and with this name :
/home/pi/python/1wireTempRead.py
Set the correct permission:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo chmod 755 /home/pi/python/1wireTempRead.py
This script must scheduled every minute by cron :
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo crontab -e
insert this line :
* * * * * python /home/pi/python/1wireTempRead.py
after this you will see in emoncms input folder, a new line for each 1-wire device connected on raspberry gpio4.
If the unique 64bit (8 byte) address is not set in db, you will see the unique 64bit (8 byte) address as input name .
I suggest to insert in mysql db, the address and the uman readable format for each device.... in this mode in case of 1-wire device failure, you will change the reference of new device without changing anything in emoncms.
Sorry for my english
Fabrizio.
Re: Raspberry pi and ds18b20
Here's a python script I've been working on this morning. I'm a noob here but I managed to get this going my pi with emoncms running on another machine.
Very similar to the previous post.
Re: Raspberry pi and ds18b20
Here is some C code for the Raspberry PI if it helps. I borrowed this from the web somewhere and redid it to break it up into an Initialise function and a call to read the temperature. It supports both Celcius and Farenheit in the call to read the temp.

My contributions to projects so farDungeon Breakout is a asymmetrical coop game created with the Unity EngineA fellow student and I worked on it during our Game Lab I studiesHere is the Trailer for the Game
Snap Caster is a plugin which helps the user to implement a Spell System for Action RPGsThe Plugin features the damage calculations, with resistances, Spell VFX and some more features
The Project I am currently working on is the game "Hivemind"This the game is developed in C++ with GLAD as the graphics library.
The game is set out to feature hundred of thousands of enemies.
This will be achieved by computing them via particle systems on the GPU.
This project is still in the works so I dont have much to show currently


Our project will provide an easy interface for Volleyball coaches and managers to track their players' statistics during a game. The main interface of this application will be a representation of players where the user will be able to record specific volleyball stats such as kills, aces, digs, assists, errors, etc. Coaches will be able to manage an account where they can view statistics across the duration of a season. We will use a backend MySql database to hold the rosters, players, and statistics for each team. The frontend will be a javascript view that allows the user to visualize a volleyball court and manage rotations and lineups while recording stats. The front end will make AJAX calls to a PHP server side where data in game will be processed and stored in the database.


Since I am planning on spending the whole day today writing, I figured: What better way to warm up to some writing than with some writing?1 And what better way to get the juices flowing than to write about the wonderful experience that was the Sempre graduate student conference at Cambridge this past Monday.
If you’re reading this in North America, you might not be familiar with Sempre, so for the uninitiated, Sempre or the Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research is a professional organization in the UK dedicated towards bringing together those in various fields of music, but specifically music education and music psychology. I don’t think we really have something like this in the USA. The music psychology people tend to hang out at the Society for Music Perception and Cognition, and I am kind of embarrassed that off the top of my head I don’t know where graduate students in music education might submit research they are working on to present to their peers? According to Sempre’s website, they’re very keen on helping out researchers at the start of their career and having this graduate conference is just one of the ways they do that.
The conference this week was a short and sweet one-day affair held at the Faculty of Music at Cambridge. Of course the weather was perfect that day, but luckily all the talks made it worth it to sit indoors all day. Ian Cross welcomed everyone with a short the opening address and if my memory serves me correctly, he noted there were about 80 submissions to this conference. He said most of those submissions did happen to come the day of the deadline, which is quite in line with any stereotypes one may have about graduate students. But thinking about that, I feel like if all professional music organizations were to release the timestamp data of their abstract submissions, there wouldn’t be a single one that didn’t exhibit an exponential growth in submissions in the hours leading to the deadline.
After his short introduction, the keynote speaker Martin Rohrmeier, head of the Digital and Computational Musicology Lab at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne was introduced. Martin’s talk surveyed a lot of his previous work on using computational tools to model various aspects of tonality which showcased the work of his graduate students in attendance that day. He also presented an overview of his lab’s work looking at hierarchical, embedded structures within larger forms. All of this empirical work then was tied together with what Martin put forward as a possible general theory of cognition and aesthetics that would be available to the listener, were they to choose, to engage deeply with a work of art.
Knowing his audience as the next generation of music researchers, he made several pleas throughout his talk to encourage future work in music to work at the intersection between music theory, music psychology, and computer modeling. This is an idea often gets poked at over here in Europe quite explicitly, but seems to live more as a tacit assumption in a lot of work in North America unless you’re at a talk by David Huron.
The rest of the day took an ABA form with five minute flash talks surrounding a longer 12 minute talk session and the poster session scheduled for lunch. As I tweeted earlier, I was skeptical of the five minute talks at first, thinking “How could people cram all they need to say into five minutes?!”2 but seeing as this was only a one-day conference that was more about community building rather than getting in the nitty gritty about methods, the format worked well. Because of it, in a one-day session we were able to hear about the research of 20 graduate students on a diversity of topics (not even including the 25 posters at lunch!).
Almost all of the talks in the morning session addressed issues at the intersection of music and well-being with the exception of a paper by Daniel Harasim looking at unsupervised machine learning methods to examine jazz harmonies. Listening to all these talks only reiterated assertions made earlier in the keynote of how many human resources are needed in order to push knowledge limits in the field of music.
The start of the afternoon session was reminiscent of last summer’s multi-hub ICMPC conference as the winner of Sempre’s Hickman award, Lindsay Warrenbug, skyped into the conference to deliver her paper on Melancholy and Grief in Music. It’s nice to see the music science community putting their money where their mouth is on making remote presentations a possibility for presenters (something also heavily advocated for by the SysMus Series). Not to throw shade, but this is something that my home discipline of Music Theory needs to do a bit of catch-up on.3 I look forward to the inevitable SMT Discuss or Twitter feud where we discuss if a person who can’t be to the national meeting in-person should instead be swapped out for someone who can.
The rest of the talks in the afternoon were all extremely interesting.
It’s hard to go through and single out work I was loving since most of the work I liked was done by people who were good friends, but one paper that I feel like the theory and psychology community should be looking out for very soon was the work by Peter Harrison and his advisor Marcus Pearce.
In 12 minutes, Peter was able to explain the current theories in the literature surrounding instantaneous consonance and dissonance (is it periodicity, is it spectral interference, is it cultural familiarity?), introduce an aggregated behavioral datasets from four prior studies where participants rated various sonorities, then introduce a new R package, “incon” that they used to computationally model 15 models of consonance to get to the bottom of the story.
If you’re interested in his findings, I know he also has a pre-print of it out right now.
I only mention his paper in detail because I think what he is doing is very in line with the music theory world and will hopefully start an interesting conversation once it gets published.
By the end of the day we’d have heard talks on musical chills, emotions and music, using music to help rehabilitate stroke survivors, music’s role maternal mental health in The Gambia, and posters on topics from more traditional music theory (thinking about hierarchical voice leading structure ala Schenker with Graph Transformations) to decentering the dominant discourse of the ‘Dead White Men’ cannon. It was a great day. Not only did the conference have a diversity of talks, but of the 20 talks, there appeared to be 50/50 split in the gender of the speakers. I only note that so when the inevitable “But is it even possible to have a conference where we just have men talk?!” question arise, there’s documentaiton of this happening.
Going to this conference and thinking about things like the general rage from last week regarding the Google Doodle made it very clear that there are many, many ways to do music research. It made me wish that there were more conferences that follow this design beyond the graduate level. I am only lamenting about this because if all goes well in May, this past Sempre conference will have been my last as a graduate student.
Of course this brings up ideas about the “point” of the conference, but one important “point” is that I don’t think conferences should just be be about apex research at its final moment of metamorphosis before publication. I feel like we as researchers need more of a chance to air out our ideas in a less, shall I say… performative setting. I obviously acknowledge that the content and subject matter with a conference like this is very different to that of AMS or SMT, but honestly think that the culture of something like Sempre is much closer to what people want and need.
This is especially true for early career researchers where point is to build relationships, explore new ideas, and not start to drink that academic Kool Aid right away since numerically speaking we will not all be academics, but will hopefully all engage in some kind of music research. I’m also advocating for this because I’m currently in the peak of my PhD isolation phase now writing and going to this and being inspired by peers is what I think I’ll need to cross the finish line.
So big thanks to Sempre for hosting it, allowing for a day of intellectual curiosity, and continuing to grow a healthy network of next generation of researchers.

I go through phases of what pickguards I want on my guitars - I own a couple of different colours for each one I have, and swap them depending on the mood. Trouble is, is that they usually cost around a tenner a time, and for what they are (essentially a piece of thin plastic), that’s rather pricey. I then remembered that my flatmate had dozens of old vinyl records lying around, and made the connection that they would do a fairly decent job of being a scratchplate, whilst also looking a little different!
Interested in making your own? To start off with, I recommend you have these things:
- Vinyl record (duh)
- The old pickguard
- Heavy duty scissors and/or Stanley knife
- Source of constant heat (hob, oven etc…)
- File
- Drill Pretty simple really. Although, it’s worth noting that the guitar you have, and the way it is built, has an impact. For example, on a Telecaster like mine, the detachment and installation of the pickguard really could not be easier - due to the simplistic design. You unscrew it, and pull it off, job done. However, with a Stratocaster-based guitar, all the front-facing body parts are fixated to the pickguard, so you have to manually detach the pickups, the volume/tone knobs, everything. Replacing the pickguard would generally require a re-string, since re-attaching the pickups to the plate is pretty challenging with the space restrictions imposed by having the strings still on.
Undeterred? Here are the steps:
-
The first step is to remove your old pickguard, and lay it on top of the vinyl so that the vinyl covers all of it. Obviously it’s best if you have a guitar with a pickguard that’s smaller than 12” diameter. </br>2.  Point of no return, it sure won’t sound like it did any more! Make sure the trace is nice and visible. </br>3. Vinyl is very brittle, and therefore horrible to cut. Don’t try and cut it with the scissors straight away, since the vinyl will most likely shatter or develop a crack straight down your new pickguard. You need to heat it up to make it more malleable. I can think of two ways.
- The probably more intelligent way to do this is to fill a baking tray with boiling water from a kettle, and lay the vinyl to soak in it for a short while. When it becomes sufficiently bendy, take it out. While hot, cut the vinyl with the scissors around the trace you scored earlier. When it gets cold, put back in the water, and repeat until done. Cutting out the pickup holes is the most challenging part.
- Another way is the way I did it, which is a little more unsafe! Wear an oven mit, put on some mouth and nose protection (I used a towel), and hold the vinyl over a gas hob until the exposed part of the vinyl starts to go bendy. Then cut as before. The problem is, is that the room gets toxic very quickly with harmful chemicals, so make sure you have the window open and an extractor fan on, if possible. You could also use the oven.</br>4. You should have a cut out shape of vinyl that vaguely resembles your original pickguard, by now. If the heat has warped the vinyl so it is no longer flat, put it in the oven for a short while between two sheet of greaseproof paper, and when sufficiently bendy, take it out and immediately flatten it with a hard, flat surface like a tray. </br>5. Now it would be wise to see if it fits your guitar. Provisionally lay it on top, and if it doesn’t fit, file down the excess until it does. If you’ve cut too far, then it’s too late, which is why it’s generally better to leave more on than take too much off. Filing is more effective when the vinyl is cold, but don’t be too rough with it, it may still crack. </br>6. Once your pickguard is sufficiently filed to shape, the last step is to make the drill holes so it can be fixed to the guitar. The way I would do it, is to position your drill above the existing hole, and lift it up slightly so that you can slot the guard underneath - then make your hole. Drill gently: again, you don’t want to crack the plastic.
There we go, ~£10 saved, and a piece of your personal music collection going around with you when you’re making your own!


In January 2014, I defended my Ph.D. in Computer Science: “Properties and Impact of Vicinity in Mobile Opportunistic Networks” in the Networks and Performance Analysis (NPA) team at the Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris 6 (LIP6) from UPMC Sorbonne Universités in Paris. You can find the manuscript below. I worked under the supervision of Dr Marcelo Dias de Amorim and in collaboration with Dr Vania Conan from Thales Communications & Security.
My research interests involved:
I hold a M.Sc. in Networking obtained at UPMC Sorbonne Universités (2010) and a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Université Paris Descartes (2008). I share my time between the LIP6 and the Laboratory of Information, Network and Communication Sciences (LINCS) which is a collaboration between INRIA, Institut Telecom, UPMC Sorbonne Universités and Alcatel-Lucent.

To support the booming demand in mobile 4G data services, the MOTO project proposes to design, dimension, implement, and evaluate a new network architecture in support of dynamic traffic offloading strategies to relieve a congested 4G/LTE network. Going far beyond present infrastructure-based offloading approaches, MOTO explores an additional layer of disruptive offloading protocols that make use of direct terminal-to-terminal communications.
The main objective of the CROWD project is to study publish/subscribe based exchanges of user-generated multimedia information within the framework of a Web 2.0 online portal while these users are on the move and can communicate opportunistically.


GAMING STATION
History
- A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface or input device – such as a joystick, controller, keyboard, or motion sensing device – to generate visual feedback for a player. This feedback is shown on a video display device, such as a TV set, monitor, touchscreen or virtual reality headset. Video games are often augmented with audio feedback delivered through speakers or headphones, and sometimes with other types of feedback, including haptic technology.
- Video games are defined based on their platform, which include arcade games, console games, and PC games. More recently, the industry has expanded onto mobile gaming through smartphones and tablet computers, virtual and augmented reality systems, and remote cloud gaming. Video games are classified into a wide range of genres based on their type of gameplay and purpose.
There are three graphic slef-made games you can try!

Behringer launches $299 clone of classic Wasp synthesizer
by Scott WilsonPhoto by: Behringer
Wasp Deluxe is coming soon.
Behringer has officially unveiled the latest in its increasingly long line of synth clones: a $299 version of EDP’s 1978 instrument, the Wasp.
Behringer’s Wasp Deluxe is described as a “faithful reproduction” of the ’70s original, which was one of the first commercial synths to use digital technology. The synth – designed by UK engineer Chris Huggett – was used by artists like Vince Clarke and 808 State.
While Behringer’s remake can fit into Eurorack cases, it doesn’t include CV or gate controls for using it with other analog gear. Another key difference is the addition of MIDI, which didn’t feature on the original.
Behringer’s Wasp Deluxe is available to pre-order now for $299. Earlier this month the company launched its own budget version of Roland’s TB-303.
