Radhika Rajamani feels Telugu film is a believable love story. Gautham Vasudev Menon, who's back with yet another love story -- Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu -- makes them relatable, emotional and lyrical with some good music. Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu is packaged with all the right ingredients -- a fairly good and sensitive screenplay, fine performances by the lead pair, Nani and Samantha, melodious music by the maestro Ilaiyaraja and decent production values. The film is largely relatable. Yet it is very slow paced and this seems to be the main deterrent. The story traverses through three different phases of Varun Krishna (Nani) and Nithya Elavarthy's (Samantha) love life --school, college and later when they are 25. They fall in and out of love during the film. The film, therefore, moves back and forth to track their romance, break-up, patch-ups all on account of different issues /reasons in their lives -- family responsibility, ego, self interest etc. In this romantic journey of the lead pair, the audience is pulled into the varied emotions they experience. The joys, sadness, friendship, family -- all are woven into the rather realistic narrative. All these delightful elements, the film's slow pace wears it down. However, Nani and Samantha try to keep it lively with their little tiffs and their emotional upheavals as they cruise along. Subtle nuances have been faithfully rendered by the actors by way of their performances. Menon shows his understanding of contemporary relationships yet again. And he's definitely a master at that. The dialogues too have a whiff of humour in many places and is ably supported by the presence of Krishnudu. The camera work is not as good as in Ye Maaya Chesaave; it could have been better. The editing too could have been looked into. Nani and Samantha steal the show with their heartfelt and natural performances. Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu - Telugu Sony Music India. Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu Official New Song Teaser feat. Movies TV Shows. For a love story, the acting of the main leads is crucial and these two do a convincing job. They live their roles of Varun and Samantha and that adds authenticity to the film. Ilaiyaraja's music and background score provide fitting backdrop to the love story. The songs Layi Layi and Yedi Yedi linger. Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu is a believable love story and can be watched for Samantha and Nani who shine all the way through in their emotional journey.

Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu links Credits Jeevi rating: 3/5 Punchline: Slick moments and slow movements Genre: Romance Type: Straight Banner: Photon Kathaas & Teja Cinema Cast: Nani, Samantha, Krishnudu, Ravi Prakash etc Music: Ilayaraja Cinematography: MS Prabhu & Om Prakash Dialogues: Kona Venkat Editing: Anthony Story - screenplay: Reshma Ghatala Screenplay - direction: Gowtham Menon Producer: C Kalyan Release date: 14 December 2012 Theater watched: Screen 3, Prasads Multiplex, Hyderabad. Review Story Varun (Nani) and Nitya (Samantha) are friends at an age of 8 and they stay in the same apartments. Then they join school together though their financial status keep growing apart. They study together in college. They have a typical on-and-off complex relationship. It could be ego, indecisiveness, stupidity or lack of long-term thinking. Whenever one person is fully committed, the other person goes on tentative mode. The rest of the story is all about how all ends well. Artists Performance Nani: It’s a kind of 15-years-old to 24-years-old gradual transformation for Nani and Samantha. Nani might not look so impressive in the beginning of the film. But with one episode, he wins you over with amazing histrionics. The climax scene in which Nani goes to the house of Samantha is an outstanding scene. It works purely on Nani’s brilliance as an actor. If the actor is not good enough, then the entire climax get killed. The nuances, intensity, controlled aggression, undying passion and agony are perfectly portrayed by Nani in that scene. Others: I am impressed the way Samantha changed her looks and body language in each stage of growth from a school-days girl to a 24-years-old woman. She starts as a kid and ends as a woman. Her performance is worth commending. Krishnudu played a full-length role and he is nice. Ravi Prakash played the role of hero’s brother with natural performance. His role was meaty in the beginning and but was abrupt in the later part. Jiiva appears in a small scene. Technical department Story - screenplay - direction: Story of the film is about a journey of a couple. It’s about breakups and reunions. Gowtam Menon who makes movies by getting in his groove makes sure that this film too is not an exception. He selected light moments to narrate the story instead of going for a typical sweet narration with commercial payoffs. The 9-minute duration interval episode on terrace and 22-minute climax episode tells us his level of commitment towards what he thinks is right. Certain moments in the film are good. But screenplay of the film is not good enough. There are two issues with the movie - one is snail-paced narration and the other one is lack of gradual rise of tempo that leads to break-up scenes. I liked the scene in which Nani tells to Samantha about his girl-friend in Australia. Very cute scene it is. And the climax scene is well-conceived though it’s too lengthy. Other departments: Music by Ilayaraja is very good. Yedhi Yedhi song is the best followed by Koti Koti tarallona, Yenthentha Dooram, Laayi Laayi and Inthakaalam. However, the first two back-to-back songs failed in giving story a good take-off. Cinematography in inconsistent and should have been better. Dialogues are natural and are in tune with orientation. I liked the way detailing in the film has been done. Be it a maruti zen, netscape navigator, old hotmail template and old-style of yahoo messenger windows etc. Editing is jerky and certain scenes in the film don’t have proper establishment. Analysis Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu is a daring attempt by Gowtam Menon to narrate a moments-based film without bothering about payoffs. Entire movie runs on a thin plot and a single conflict point. Since there is not much of a plot and conflict point, the narration of the film is very slow. Plus points are lead actors performances, music and moments. On the flip side, one-side orientation and slow-paced narration hinder the movie’s effectiveness. On a whole, YVM is a multiplex film and we got to wait and see how it fares.

Fixed an issue where a selected track point was obscured by the scroll bar in the track dialog. Fixed a drawing artifact that could be caused when displaying a context menu over user data. Fixed an issue where addresses in multi-language products where not found when city names were in certain languages. Fixed an issue with creating a waypoint on certain map features when the map's language is not the same as the computer's language setting. 6.8.0 - This will be the last version of MapSource to support reading/importing PCX5 files. For future compatibility, please migrate your data to the GPX format. Fixed error with the specification of some states or countries in searches in the 'Find Places' dialog. Fixed issue with not being able to select states or countries in the 'Find Places' dialog. Fixed issue with searches using states or countries that have names in multiple languages. Changed version number to use three numbers. 6.7 - This will be the last version of MapSource to support reading/importing PCX5 files. For future compatibility, please migrate your data to the GPX format. Added route road and area avoidances. To access avoidances, select 'Manage Route Avoidances' on the Routing tab of the preferences dialog. Once avoidances are created, they are displayed on the main map, if appropriate, for the current map product. Added 'Auto' option to the display of route avoidances. This will hide route avoidances when the map is zoomed out far enough. Added new 'large' 24x24-pixel waypoint and map symbols. Select these symbols on the Display tab of the preferences dialog. Custom waypoint symbols can now be 24x24 and 32-bit color as well. Added the ability to show or hide the left-hand (user data) pane. Added tooltips to the waypoint symbol selector with the name of the waypoint type. Added celestial information dialog. Added schema extension to GPX for handling Garmin-specific data elements, such as waypoint depth. The location of the schema is documented in outputted GPX files. Updated the GPX Garmin extension (GPXXv1) to version 2 (GPXXv2) based on comments. GPXXv1 will not be supported. Added ability to manually set the Y-axis endpoints on vertical profile plots. Added 'rest area' find subcategory. Added artificial reef and oil rig map symbols. Removed real-time tracking from MapSource. Use nRoute for PC real-time tracking applications. Made several map rendering performance improvements. Improved algorithm for selecting maps around tracks and routes. Improved error handling while transferring data to removable media and Garmin cards. Improved autoroute ETE accuracy. Improved MapSource's behavior on a PC with multiple monitors. Changed wrecks, obstructions, and isolated dangers to display the corresponding spot depth when it is known. This is enabled by turning on 'Spot Soundings' in the Display preferences page. Changed MapSource to use Windows XP styles on PCs that support this. Changed the track vertical profile to use the same graphing style as the route vertical profile. 'Find category types' are no longer displayed when they aren't valid for a particular map product. Change to optimize deleting multiple waypoints from a route. Change to reduce flickering of pop-ups on the map. Change to validate trackpoint timestamps before they are sent to a unit. Change to make user- and non-user waypoint dialogs have consistent 'Show on Map' behavior. Changed waypoint symbol images to remove duplicate symbols. Change to more gracefully handle the case where a user transferring maps to a Palm doesn't have enough hard-drive space. Changed behavior of toolbar combo boxes to behave more like standard combo boxes. Change to show stacked pop-up windows over densely packed map features. Changed behavior of some BlueChart map features to display the name instead of depth. Change so that GPX route import doesn't always autoname the route. Changed formatting of Japanese address results. Changed the default 'Terrain Shading' option on the Display Preferences page to be 'on'. Changed vertical profile windows so that they remember their last size and position. Changed string 'iQue' in Device dialog to 'Palm OS Device'. Changed waypoints timestamp to not be updated when changing certain fields in the waypoint, such as symbol or display type. Fixed issue performing 'Select maps around' feature when in the No Map product. Fixed issues with short route avoidances avoiding the wrong places. Fixed issues with MapSource opening GPX files with Garmin extensions. Fixed issue drawing selected subsections of tracks on the map. Fixed issue associated with having Worldmap 3.02 and many newer products installed at the same time. Fixed issue on the 'find places' dialog with the reset button not properly clearing fields. Fixed properties for some features not correctly showing their category and subcategory. Fixed import of GPX files to handle prefixed names. Fixed parsing of custom waypoint symbol image names to only allow numeric names, such as '003.bmp'. Fixed issue with selecting maps around routes or tracks with only one point. Fixed issue with some XML files using a large amount of memory to import. Fixed issue where columns in the track dialog list control sometimes were improperly hidden. Fixed issue with partial string searching in the name field of the 'find places' dialog. Fixed find results with elevation information in the name to use the proper units. Fixed issue related to renaming a route while looking at the driving directions. Fixed issue with slow UI response while hovering over some areas with the map tool. Fixed issues related to saving user data on Garmin cards. Fixed issue in route dialog with multiple selections being ignored when 'Center map on selected item' option is checked. Fixed issues during map rendering. Fixed issue while zooming in on a 'found city'. Fixed issue in the find places dialog with displaying a street name with an '&' character in the name. Fixed route speed preferences to set Autobahn speeds to the highest speed category. Fixed issue with 'find places' dialog field auto-completion in some Asian languages. Fixed issue with the route dialog's 'insert waypoint' dialog having odd initial selections. Fixed issue with trying to change the waypoint symbol on a Windows 98/ME PC. Fixed issue with MapSource not using the current datum when exporting DXF. Fixed issue with routes calculated in autorouting map products being transferred to non-autorouting GPS's. This caused the via point list on the GPS to have incorrect names. Fixed feature category and subcategory filtering in 'find nearest' dialog. 6.5 - Changed software version number from 6.3 to 6.5. Updated the default document format to the new GDB version 2 format. Due to the availability of the Garmin nRoute application, no changes were made to the MapSource GPS tracking functionality. Provided the capability for the user to define up to 64 custom waypoint symbols. Added the capability to import GPX documents that use both versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the GPX schema and export GPX documents using version 1.1 of the schema. Added the ability to batch-edit certain properties of user waypoints. Added the ability to open GDB vers. 2, MPS, GPX vers. 1.0, GPX vers. 1.1, and PCX5 documents using the 'Open' command in the 'File' menu. Added the ability to save data to GDB version 1, GDB version 2, MPS, tab-delimited text, DXF, and GPX vers. 1.1 documents using the 'Save As' command in the 'File' menu. Removed the 'Import' and 'Export' commands from the 'File' menu. Simplified the selection of symbols in the Waypoint Properties dialog. Added the capability to do online software updates for non-Asian versions of MapSource. Provided a right-click context menu available from the main MapSource window for showing and hiding of the MapSource toolbars. In previous versions, this could only be accomplished from the View menu. Made some modifications to the Route Properties dialog to simplify the user experience. MapSource now disables the 'Insert Waypoints' button when there are no waypoints in the active document, and disables the 'Show on Map' when the route is empty. It is also now possible to insert multiple via points into the route in a single insert. Added the capability for users to create a route by selecting one or more waypoints in the list on the waypoints tab and then selecting the appropriate menu option from the right-click context menu. Added technology to allow for address searching in Asian map products. Moved the capability to adjust map detail from the preferences to the view menu/toolbar and removed the map detail slider control from the display tab of the preferences property sheet. Added the Icelandic Grid (ISN93). Added visual feedback on the vertical route profile so that the user knows the exact altitude and distance for a point they click on the graph. Also added the capability to select a second arbitrary point on the graph and determine the altitude and distance changes between the two points. Added new auto-routing configuration option to avoid carpool lanes, if desired. Note that this feature is not supported in all map products. Changed the 'OK' button to a 'Close' button on non-editable properties dialogs (such as the tide prediction dialog) to decrease user confusion about how to exit the dialog. Added the capability for a user to be able to automatically select all the maps adjacent to a route, track, or waypoint. Modified drawing code so that the map labels are now drawn on top of GPS data like routes and tracks, but still appear below waypoint labels and the find results marker. Added direction arrows on selected routes so that it is easier for users to discern which direction a selected route is going. Lowered the minimum speed on the routing properties page to allow the use of more realistic speeds for generating routes using alternate vehicles such as pedestrians and bicycles. Also raised the maximum speed to allow more flexibility for the user in route planning. Added category & subcategory classifications to property pages for map features. This was done to help users better understand the classification scheme and be able to use it in feature finds. Added ability to zoom in on sections of a route profile. Reorganized categories used by the find places and find nearest dialogs to make finding items more intuitive. Added a reset button to clear the search parameter fields on the find dialog. Changed the help menu commands. We now have the command 'MapSource help' which replaces the two commands 'Contents' and 'Index' for accessing the MapSource help file. This was necessary due to changes made by Microsoft in the behavior of some system help file functions. Modified the context menu that a user gets when he clicks on the map window to have the following behaviors: A context menu in the map window will only apply to one gps feature (the one under the mouse when the user right clicks), and Non route-specific menu items should not be in the route context menu. Modified MapSource so that all files, regardless of type, are added to the most recently opened files list on the file menu. Added the capability to create waypoints with known altitudes at any arbitrary position on maps that contain elevation data. On such map products, previous versions of MapSource would only fill in the altitude field in waypoints that were created on contour lines or point features that had a known altitude. Removed option for sending terrain shading data to GPS from the Maps tab. The determination to send this information will now be made automatically depending on whether the GPS the maps are being sent to supports it. Added technology to the find dialog for address and intersection searches that will exclude cities from the list of available cities that don't have any associated road information. Modified the process for transferring maps to a GPS device so that MapSource checks to ensure that it can successfully unlock all the maps being transferred on the destination GPS before starting the lengthy index-building step. This will prevent customers from having to sit through the index building of their map set and then find out that some of the maps are unable to be unlocked (and therefore unusable) on their GPS. Changed the label of the column on the routes tab that was previously labeled 'waypoints' to be labeled 'via points'. Improved the error text that a user gets when a write operation to a USB card programmer fails to verify. Added some improvements to the device auto-detection code to decrease the likelihood of a failure while searching for user devices. Changed behavior of route dialog so that if a user aborts the calculation of driving directions when clicking on the driving directions tab, they will stay on the via points tab and not see the driving directions tab with empty driving directions. Removed term 'non-dangerous' that was in the description of some marine map features. Put in improved error reporting to assist the user when problems are encountered trying to transfer a map set to a Garmin iQue device. Added additional error reporting parameters such as stack traces to certain error messages to improve the ability to debug the error. Changed the logic in the driving directions generation software to better discriminate between the need for a 'u-turn' and a 'sharp left/right' turn in appropriate conditions. Modified MapSource to provide the user with more useful feedback in certain situations where the program failed because of an invalid entry in the MapSource registry entries. Modified the transfer dialogs to correctly reflect the fact that the cfQue device does not currently support route transfer. Modified the waypoint dialog to correctly truncate the timestamp string when it was too long for the field it is displayed in. Added an improved description of the removable media devices that show up in the list of devices that are automatically detected. Added additional postal code filtering to the finder logic to help speed up searches being done when a postal code is provided. Modified the find nearest logic to speed up the find nearest searches. Modified find places and find nearest so that the user has the ability to abort finds that take a long time. Added elevation information to the position information that we currently display on the status bar when the user hovers the mouse over the map. This will be available in certain map products that include altitude information. Repositioned the toolbar on the track properties page so that it would be easier for users to understand that the toolbar functions will work in the name field as well as the trackpoints list. Modified the find nearest dialog to remember when the user types an entry in the 'containing' field. Modified the find nearest dialog so that the 'Waypoints' category option is not displayed if there are not currently any waypoints in MapSource (so that the find would always fail). Modified the find dialog so that the Find button will be pushed if user hits the enter key after typing in some entries in the find parameters. Modified MapSource so that when a waypoint is created on a city map feature, the application will automatically use the City icon. Modified the find places dialog so that input typed in the parameter fields is saved after the user clicks find. This was done to create a consistent behavior with the find nearest dialog. The previous version of the find places dialog saved the input data immediately after the user typed it into the field (whether find was hit or not). It was decided that this could be confusing to users. Added support for scroll-wheel in the auto-complete fields on the find dialog. Removed maximize and minimize buttons from the Waypoint dialog since these buttons were not appropriate and did not work correctly as well. Added the select all menu option to the context menu that is brought up when the user right clicks on the via-points list in the route dialog. Fixed issue where find results marker on map was not correctly cleared in the map window when the user cancelled out of a find recent or find nearest search. Fixed issue where some controls on the route dialog were not being drawn correctly when the dialog was being resized. Fixed issue where detailed map data was not correctly display in some maps associated with certain Blue Chart products. Fixed issue where the auto-router would fail when trying to route in certain map conditions. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when certain modifications were made to a waypoint in the Waypoint Properties dialog. Fixed issue where the Waypoint label was covered up by the map feature label in some instances. Fixed issue where vertical route profiler could fail on extremely long routes. Reworded potentially confusing prompt that was displayed when MapSource was started with no map products installed. Fixed issue where the wrong color was being used to fill in certain non-map areas at some zoom scales. Fixed issue on the find nearest dialog where the search distance was not being updated correctly if the user modified this value and then initiated a search by hitting the Enter key. Fixed issue where the find dialogs might not correctly remember the category/subcategory of the previous feature search in languages other than English. Fixed issue where a marquee created with the map selection tool might select the wrong maps. Changed the color of the marine exposed rock symbol. Changed the line style of marine clearing lines. Fixed issue with reporting transfer errors with removable media. Fixed issue where if the pointer hovered over a selected waypoint and it was deleted, the pointer popup wasn't removed. Changed behavior of 'Show on Map' for individual route and track points to be consistent with the waypoint's behavior. Fixed some localization issues in several Asian languages. Fixed several auto-routing issues. Fixed a vertical profiling issue. Fixed issue with trying to create a route near the North or South pole. (This version can be downloaded from: ) Ver. 6.3 - Changed software version number from 6.1 to 6.3. Fixed issue with searching in multi-product families where a map from the wrong product could be shown behind the search result. Fixed some alignment issues in the Japanese and Korean resource localizations. Fixed issue where a route name with Asian characters could be corrupted when displayed in the route dialog. Fixed issue where products with non-English characters could crash during a search. Fixed issue where new Marine maps could crash because of new light colors. Updated some route calculation parameters for more optimal routing solutions. Fixed issue with searching in multi-product families where features from a non-current product might be ignored. 6.1 - MapSource 6.0 and newer will no longer support Windows 95. Also, for NT 4.0 computers, MapSource will now require Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater to be installed. Updated the toolbar and menu layouts to simplify the experience for new users. Changed the view toolbar so that the product selection box is not shown unless the user has multiple map products installed. Added the capability to auto-detect all types of connected Garmin devices. This simplifies the process a user must go through to send/receive data with their Garmin device. Technology was also included into the auto-detection of devices to remember the last auto-detected device. Thus, if the user always has the same devices connected to the same ports, they should not have to search for their device more than once. Updated various places where MapSource interacts with the GPS to use the new auto-detect technology, including transferring data to/from the GPS, getting the GPS' unit id, renaming the GPS, and setting the PC Clock from the GPS. Added ability for the user to associate file links or Internet addresses with waypoints, routes, and tracks. These links will be exported to text and DXF files when a file export is performed. Added support for waypoint categories. Added support for terrain shading display for products that have this information in their map data. Added option to the main Maps tab to include/exclude terrain shading map data in map transfers to the GPS. This option is enabled if any maps in the selected map set contain terrain shading information as part of their map data. Added support for vertical profiles of routes on maps that support vertical route profile information. Changed the waypoint dialog to allow the user to show more or less detail. The default setting is to show less detail. Modified MapSource to detect fully locked map products at start-up and notify the user of available unlocking options. Changed MapSource to use the UnlockWizard for providing the user with map unlock services in non-Asian language versions of the program. Added 'find recent' and 'find nearest' options to the route dialog. Provided users with the capability to limit 'find nearest' search results to those matches that 'contain' specified words. Added the ability for a user to perform a 'find nearest' search from the context menu of the via point list in the route dialog. This allows the user to find map features closest to the via point that the user selects in the list when he or she right-clicks to bring up the context menu. Improved interface for finder. Added 'auto complete' technology that uses a drop-down control to display word matches while the user types. Removed the color field from waypoint and track dialogs since MapSource does not use this value. The color value associated with a waypoint or track is still preserved as part of the item's stored information so that it will still be present for GPS devices that utilize this value. However, users can no longer view and edit this value from the MapSource user interface. Updated MapSource to use the new GDB file format. Added capability to import files from the old MPS file format and export GDB files to the old MPS file format. When importing older format files, the base name of the files is preserved in an effort to simplify the conversion process. Added the capability to copy and paste between this version of MapSource and other applications (including older versions of MapSource) which may use a different version of the data. Updated the route dialog to copy a text version of the via-points onto the clipboard. Also provided the capability to copy the text of driving directions to the clipboard from the driving directions tab. Added temperature and time stamp to waypoints. Improved the vertical track profile by making the window resizable and adding keyboard support for scrolling and zooming. Reorganized route and track dialogs to make more commonly used fields more readily accessible to new users. Added a preference for avoiding unpaved roads while autorouting. Note that this preference may not be fully supported by some older Garmin map products. Removed the use of the F3/Shift-F3 shortcuts, which were used for navigating the recently found places. Added the accelerator Ctrl-Alt-F to bring up the Recently Found Places. Changed the 'recently found places' dialog to automatically select the first 'recently found place' when it is brought up. The strings specifying the types of files MapSource can export were translated so that they will appear in the same language as MapSource. The previous version always displayed these in English regardless of what language MapSource was using. Changed the color of the question mark being displayed over the vessel (when its location is unknown) to white for enhanced visibility. Modified the application so that all dialogs with system menus in the upper-left corner (such as the route dialog) will now display the MapSource icon for this menu. The previous version displayed the default Windows icon to mark the menu. Added code so that MapSource beta builds now expire 60 days after their build date. After expiration, the application will instruct the user on how to update their application to the latest version. Changed MapSource so that the entire map is not redrawn when the crosshair is enabled. Added access to the 'duplicate routes' function in applicable MapSource context menus. Removed the 'make waypoint' button from the finder dialog in situations where the user opens the finder from within the route dialog. Changed style of MapSource toolbars to have 'grippers' so that the individual toolbars are more easily visible to the user. Added notification for transfers to the iQue reminding the user of the need to perform a Hot Sync with the device to complete the transfer. Added new waypoint symbols to MapSource. Added the following symbols in the colors red, green, and blue: flags, pins, circles, ovals, rectangles, blocks, letters A-D, numbers 0-9, and triangles. In addition, added the following individual symbols: blue diamonds, blue squares, bike trail, police station, fishing hot spot facility, ski resort, ice skating, wrecker, no anchor, beacon, coast guard, reef, weed bed, drop off, dock, marina, bait and tackle, and stump. Modified the waypoint symbol previously called 'marina' to now be called 'anchor' to better associate it with the symbol. Because of quantity of new waypoint symbols, the color descriptor for the waypoint symbol types that have colors was moved to the end of the symbol ID so that like icons would be grouped together by symbol type and not by color (for example, 'red square' is now 'square, red' and will be grouped with squares and not red waypoint symbols). Added the RT 90 grid. Modified the scale on map window to display text notifying the user when all map detail is locked and, thus, not visible or available for transfer to a GPS. Added the capability to display a highway's cardinal direction as part of its map label. Added the capability to display tide stations notes when a station has this data available in the map. Added the postal code parameter to address and intersection searches to allow users to limit these results to those in certain postal codes. The postal codes users are able to use are specific to the Garmin map product in which they are searching. Some map products may not support this capability. Made the waypoint, route, and track dialogs consistent in the way that they handle repositioning and zooming of the map window that occurs while the user is in the properties dialog. Now, each dialog will remember the initial position/zoom scale of the map when the user opens the properties for a waypoint, route, or track. If the user exits the dialog by clicking 'cancel', MapSource will return to the position/zoom scale it was at when the dialog started. If they exit by clicking 'Ok', the dialog will remain in the last position/zoom scale that it was while the user was in the dialog. Added new map symbol for non-dangerous underwater rocks. Added inherent support for mouse wheel scrolling to the map window, vertical track profile, and tide dialog. This is necessary on both machines with Microsoft's Intellipoint version 5.0 and newer (since Universal Scrolling was removed in version 5.0) and on machines that lacked Intellipoint. Changed how MapSource interacts with the system clipboard so that users can cut and paste between instances of MapSource without having to leave Mapsource open for this to work. In previous versions, if you copied something to the clipboard and exited MapSource, the information would not be on the clipboard for pasting when you opened up another application. Now, MapSource data will stay on the clipboard until the next time the user does a new cut or copy. Changed the precision of the display of inter-tidal depths to be one tenth of a unit. Also, changed the way inter-tidal depths that are actually heights above the water are displayed to be consistent with the manner in which they are displayed on paper charts. Updated the map transfer process so that if the user selects a map set that is too large for his or her destination device, MapSource will provide them with a more useful error message. The message lets the user know how big their selected mapset is and how much room the destination device has, so that the user will have an easier time determining how many maps must be removed from the current set in order for the new set to fit. Moved via point properties button on route dialog from the route dialog's toolbar to a standard button labeled 'Properties'. Changed how waypoint name conflicts are handled. We now will automatically resolve these conflicts when possible. If this is not possible, we have added a more informative error message for situations where the user must make a decision about how to handle the conflict. Updated the Austrian datum to match the new standards. Modified the route and track dialogs to allow the user to paste into the dialog when no item is selected if the route or track is empty. Updated route dialog to allow copy, cut, or delete when the item is selected. Changed transfer to GPS code to strictly enforce Garmin-defined waypoint specifications. This was done to prevent failures that occurred on some GPS' when waypoints with extremely long names/descriptions were transferred. Updated waypoint dialogs to only change the symbol and display type after the user exits the field when they have made a change to the value. The previous code would change the icon every time the field changed which resulted in the icon changing while the user was merely scrolling through the list using the arrow keys. Provided some optimizations for improving the drawing speed of the map. Changed right-click menu option on tide stations from 'Feature Properties.' To 'Predict Tides.' For added clarity as to what this menu selection actually does. Changed the menu option for bringing up map data unlocking features from 'Unlock Regions' to 'Unlock Maps'. Added menu shortcut key 'M' for the File menu's 'Send Mail.' Added the ability to export waypoint categories to DXF and tab-delimited text files. Changed medical facility symbol to a blue cross. Added ability to receive tracks from the ForeRunner GPS. Added access to duplicate routes function in the context menu you get when right-clicking on routes in the Routes tab. Added the ability to search for partial strings in the finder for feature search feature names and city search city names. Updated the trademark symbol after the name 'MapSource' in the splash screen to be a registered trademark. Modified file export dialog to automatically fill in the base name of the current gdb file as the default name for the exported file. Modified track stats display so that if a track is selected from either the tracks tab or the map window, the statistics display will always show the track stats for the entire track. Added capability to remember the last file extension type from which the user imported. Fixed issue where a detailed map might not be visible at certain zoom levels if the map is very close to the edge of the screen. Fixed issue where basemap labels were not being displayed if a user zoomed to a level where detailed maps should be drawn, but the map product lacked detailed maps in that area. Fixed issue where the right-click context menu was not always getting updated to display the correct options to the user in certain situations. Fixed issue where some data input locations were not properly validating the text that a user input. Fixed issue where MapSource was not gracefully handling the case where the language resource file was missing. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when the user attempted to use the system menu while in print preview mode. Fixed issue where the print preview flickered when MapSource was real-time tracking. Corrected issue where the product selectors in the view menu and view toolbar were not always showing the same product being selected. Added code to more robustly handle an issue where MapSource would fail if the map product registry key became corrupted. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail if a value in the registry became corrupted. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail if the user switched between various types of map products in a certain sequence. Fixed issue where it appeared that a waypoint was still visible on the map if you find the waypoint in the finder and then delete it. Fixed issue where the 'recently found places' toolbar button was not being properly disabled/enabled when the 'number of recently found places to remember' was updated in the find preferences. Fixed issue where the open file dialog was not being correctly cleared from the screen when a user opened an extremely large data file. Fixed issue where waypoint dialog would incorrectly display the depth of waypoints when the depth units were not in feet. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when selecting certain maps in MetroGuide Canada v4 and trying to send them to a GPS or card programmer. Fixed issue where the route dialog would be slow to redraw itself when the user was viewing driving directions and resizing the dialog. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when the proximity of a waypoint was set to an extremely large number. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail if the location of a map product on the user's PC changed since installation, and then he or she tried to send some maps from this map product. Fixed issue where user was erroneously prompted to save an empty document when he or she tried to open a corrupted file and it failed. Fixed issue where a user might get a partially opened GPS data file when a corrupted file is opened. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when merging two files using cut/copy and paste with certain combinations of data. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when doing certain combinations of data operations in the route dialog. Fixed issue where clicking on the tide prediction window would not set the keyboard input focus to the window. Fixed issue where a user could not tab to the list of tide extremes in the tide prediction window. Fixed a drawing artifact that happened when users were constructing routes, had a pop-up appear over the route tool's black line, and then exited the route tool using the 'esc' key. Made changes to decrease the amount of flickering that occurs when resizing certain dialogs in MapSource. Fixed the status bar so that it lists the correct number of via points in a route when the route is selected using the selection tool. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when clicking on Find from within the route dialog and 'No Map' is the selected product. Fixed issue where MapSource would scroll back to the top of the list in the Waypoints, Routes, or Tracks pages after a modification was made to an item far down in a long list and the property page for that item was closed. Now, the program ensures that the selected item is visible in the list control after modifications. Fixed issue where users would experience problems in data transfer between the application and certain GPS devices after aborting a transfer and then trying to send to the GPS immediately afterwards. Fixed issue where the document title was not set back to 'Untitled' if MapSource had a valid document open and it then failed when opening a different document, even though the document was empty. Fixed issue where copyright string was not being correctly displayed on some map products. Fixed issue where Lake Erie was not visible at certain zoom scales in America's BlueChart v6.0. Fixed issue where waypoint altitudes were not getting correctly set in some new waypoints when MapSource was in metric units. Fixed issue where the text displayed in the fatal dialog for some MapSource exceptions was incorrectly being overwritten. Fixed issue where MapSource would not make the Properties button available when a user found tide stations in the 'find nearest'. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when the user opened the Product Info with certain map products installed. Changed software version number from 6.0 to 6.1. Updated address searching for compatibility with some new map products. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail under certain situations when trying to auto-detect a USB GPS device. Added the display of a 'wait cursor' when doing potentially lengthy operations saving the current file to disk or exporting it to MPS format. 5.4 - Fixed an issue in the Find Waypoints feature. Fixed issue where MapSource was improperly handling waypoint names that contained invalid characters that were sent to it from Asian GPS devices. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail if it tried to send waypoints with extremely long names to certain GPS devices. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail on start-up if the registry contained an invalid key. Now it detects the invalid key and notifies the user that the program must be reinstalled. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail if the user pasted auto-generated routes from one instance of MapSource to another non-empty instance of the program and then tried to replace any duplicate waypoints. Changed MapSource so that all devices that allow map transfer will consistently and correctly handle how they check for whether a map set of a given size can be transferred to a device. Also added code so that if the size of a set of maps is greater than the size of the destination device, it will alert the user to this problem much earlier in the process. Added support for IOS tide stations. Fixed issue where MapSource would exit with a Window error message if the language dll file was missing. Now the program detects that the language file is missing and notifies the user that he or she must reinstall it. 5.3 - Fixed issue where the abbreviations for north, south, east and west were incorrectly displayed as localized strings in latitude and longitudes. Fixed issue where the go to position dialog was not working correctly in Asian localized versions of MapSource. Fixed some translation issues in Asian language resources. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail on some builds of Windows 95, because it tried to enumerate available USB devices. This feature is not available on operating systems older than Windows 98. 5.2 - Internationalized MapSource to support multiple languages. Localized the program into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Traditional), and Chinese (Simplified). Fixed issue where the Vertical Track Profile was incorrectly displaying the distance zoom scale in the horizontal axis label when the scale had a decimal point in the value. Fixed issue where the File menu's 'Open From' and 'Save To' menu options were not disabled during real-time tracking. Fixed issue where program would fail when F3 was used to view recently found results and the result was an address. Fixed issue where the route dialog would fail if an 'undo' or 'redo' action resulted in an empty route and the user clicked on the driving directions tab. Fixed issue in the route dialog where an attempt to add consecutive duplicate via points in the route resulted in the undo button being activated - but when the user clicked on the button, nothing was undone. Fixed issue where the autorouter was sometimes adding unnecessary loops when calculating autoroutes. Fixed issue where, if a route had non-consecutive duplicate via points and the user tried to delete any one of these duplicates, MapSource would always delete the first one, even if the first waypoint was not the one selected. Fixed issue in MapSource where the redo button was not being disabled correctly when the user performed a waypoint insertion and the redo button was already enabled. Fixed issue where MapSource would have a pronounced delay if the user tried to insert a waypoint into a route with no insertion point selected in that route. Fixed issue where copyright strings would get cut off if they were greater than the width of the page while printing or print previewing maps. Added the ability to word-wrap these copyright strings to the page width. Fixed issue where the GPS tab's compass would be drawn to overlap the position field in some cases. Fixed issue where some grid selections would cause the position text to get cut off in the position field of the GPS tab. Fixed issue where the select device button would become unavailable if the selected COM port was already in use by another device when the user tried to start real-time tracking. Fixed issue where the seabed nature text was not being correctly centered in BlueChart products. Fixed various issues that caused the finder to not perform some searches correctly. Fixed issue where the undo button would be erroneously enabled when maps were automatically removed from an mps file. This issue could cause MapSource to fail if the user then clicked on the undo button. Fixed some translation issues in Japanese resources. Fixed issue where autoroutes were not correctly following the roads in the detailed maps in some parts of the middle of long routes. Fixed issue where portions of larger copyright logos were being cut off when MapSource showed these images after the display of the MapSource splash screen in map products that have logos. Fixed issue where map transfers to the iQue 3600 actually required twice the size of the map data being transferred in free disk space for a successful transfer. Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when reading an empty route from a Garmin Storage Card. 4.13 - Integrated translation corrections made by Taiwan to the Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese resources. Fixed an issue where the Tide Prediction calendar control was not working correctly in some date ranges when Windows was set to a time zone that automatically adjusted for daylight-savings time. Corrected an issue where MapSource would allow tide predictions to occur outside the appropriate time range restrictions imposed by the current tide prediction code. This would lead to some invalid prediction values for the out-of-range times. Fixed an issue where MapSource would crash if the registry value that stored the user preference for distance units, which was set by MapSource 4.09 and older, contained an invalid value. Now, if an invalid string is encountered for this preference, MapSource will replace it with the default value. Fixed an issue where MapSource would not correctly send the Dark Green track color to some units. Fixed a problem where MapSource would not be able to import routes which contained a large number of duplicate map points. Fixed an issue that caused MapSource to set an invalid position for certain waypoints that were put into routes from the finder. Corrected a problem where MapSource would fail if it got a bad depth or elevation label from the map. Fixed an issue that caused MapSource to crash when inverting a route in European City Navigator version 5. 4.12 - Fixed defect in keyboard selection of waypoints in the waypoint tab and waypoint selection dialog. Now a key press will select the first waypoint below the current selection that has a name starting with the letter entered. MapSource 4.11 erroneously selected the last waypoint whose name started with that letter. Fixed defect which prevented the user from changing the case of Waypoint, Route, and Track names. Fixed defect where MapSource would incorrectly alter some map labels when the user was running the program with Asian language configurations. Fixed defect where MapSource would crash when trying to display marine charts with dates prior to 1970. 4.11 - Changed software version number from 4.10 to 4.11. Modified code to improve performance of data transfers to GPS unit. Fixed several defects associated with the handling of Asian characters. Fixed problem where hovering over the print icon did not show a tooltip. Fixed bug where route headings were being exported incorrectly. Fixed bug where scrollbar on the real time tracking page was not always displayed when it should have been. Modified creation of the waypoint description so that it used the name of the nearest feature, if any, or a date/time stamp if no feature name is available. MapSource 4.10 always inserted an English language data/time stamp in this field. Fixed bug where MapSource would crash if it could not correctly read in the value for Grid, Datum, or Heading written to the registry by an older version of MapSource. 4.10 - Internationalized MapSource to support multiple languages. Localized the program into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Traditional), and Chinese (Simplified). Changed 'Car' to 'Car/Motorcycle' in autoroute preferences. Modified cursors for adding, moving, replacing, and inserting points into routes using the selection pointer to display a graphical cue instead of English text labels. Added new waypoint symbols (contacts) for Rino. Updated the version of the MPS file format to 1.04. Note that MPS files saved using 4.10 are not backward compatible with previous versions of MapSource. Modified MapSource so that user waypoints created by the route tool follow the user preference for display mode as set in the waypoint preferences tab. Modified the transfer preferences page so that users who have no serial ports will not get stuck in an infinite loop with an invalid input prompt repeatedly being displayed if they enter this page. Auto routing progress bar is now only displayed when generating routes with maps that have autorouting information. Added check box for including autorouting information in transferring data to and from a device to the transfer dialog. Retained a duplicate of this check box on the transfer preferences page. This new check box was added to simplify the process of not including autorouting data in a transfer to a device after the user has been prompted that the map size was too large for their unit and told that they should try removing the autorouting data for the transfer. Modified the Export dialog so that the option to export to DXF files is not available if only Maps are selected. Route exporting was updated to export autoroutes correctly. Fixed bug in Waypoint Properties dialog that caused MapSource to fail when an invalid depth was entered. Fixed bug in Track Properties dialog that caused Show On Map button to be inactive when the track has a single point. Fixed bugs with the Vertical Track Profile dialog where the graph would be displayed improperly in certain zooming situations. Fixed bug where waypoints submerged under routes when using the map tool. Fixed a problem in the Route Properties dialog where an invalid input prompt was displayed twice to the user when the user entered an empty route name and the Enter key was pressed. Modified the Find dialog so that it switches back to the current product upon canceling. If a search has found a feature in another product of the same family, MapSource automatically switches the product to show the feature. The prior behavior did not switch back to the current product if the user cancelled after such a search. Modified the Error dialog to prevent selection of the text inside it. Fixed bug in Track Properties dialog that caused MapSource to fail when user paged down in the trackpoints list. Added the capability to display a slide show of logos after the splash screen is displayed. Added the capability to display copyrights (text and logos) in the lower-left corner of the map window if a copyright should be displayed there. Removed the restriction that the names of waypoints, routes, tracks, map sets, etc. Can only have characters which are English letters & numbers, blank spaces, +, and. Users can now enter any character for these labels. However, the ability to enter and display these characters correctly is now dependent on the language settings for the user's operating system (i.e. To enter and display a waypoint with Chinese characters in the name, the user would have to change the default language to Chinese). Modified how waypoint names are created from map labels to work with internationalized map products. Now the label from the map is truncated to a user-defined, fixed number of characters (with white spaces removed) and then made unique. Previously, MapSource created abbreviations for names, but this did not work properly in non-English map products. Fixed a bug where the map drew twice when the viewable screen spanned the Anti-Meridian. Fixed defects where MapSource would crash when the screen was locked and Mapsource was either displaying a popup window, transferring data to the GPS, or real-time tracking. Fixed bug on Serial and USB transfer pages where tabbing between fields would not work properly if the OK button had the keyboard input focus and it was disabled. Fixed bug where the Center on selected item feature in Track Properties dialog was centering incorrectly on every 99n + 1 trackpoint. Fixed bug where Find would not locate Bismarck if North Dakota or ND was specified in the state field. Updated NMEA real-time tracking so that MapSource can now do 3D tracking rather than only 2D tracking as was done in the previous version. Fixed defects in real-time tracking in NMEA mode. Fixed time field on Tide dialog to display times according to Windows regional settings. Fixed problems with items on the map not being drawn properly while real-time tracking. Fixed bug where inappropriate entries were being added to right-click menus when there are more than 25 items in the menu. Modified MapSource so that it would not display a right-click menu to select a 'feature' when only a single feature was available. Modified MapSource to not draw overlapping, adjacent trackpoints at all zoom scales. This will prevent the track from being obscured. Renamed 'Detail' tab in Preferences dialog to 'Display'. Added the capability for the user to change the font used for map labels, popup windows, and waypoint text from Display tab in Preferences dialog. Increased the default map font size to improve readability. Modified the Select Waypoints dialog so that when a user types a letter, it selects the next waypoint in the list whose name starts with that letter. In previous versions, it selected the next waypoint in the list whose symbol type started with that letter. Provided a visual highlight on both the map window and the Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks tabs so that it is more obvious to the user which one has the input focus. Modified the Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks tabs on the main application so that when one of these tabs has the input focus and the user types a letter, it scrolls down to the first item in the list that has a name that starts with that letter. Modified the way that the keyboard shortcuts for the tools work so that these shortcuts can only be used to select a tool if the map window has the input focus. Fixed a bug that caused autorouting to fail when No Map was selected. Fixed bug that caused MapSource to fail when the user aborted a USB transfer during the Map Initialization phase. Fixed problem in real-time tracking where the check box for keeping the vehicle on the map was not being unchecked when the user caused the vessel to go off the screen from the Go To Position dialog. Fixed bug where the 'Recalculate', 'Invert', and 'Show On Map' buttons were not being correctly disabled when there were no points in the route. Fixed bug that caused the edit boxes in Waypoint, Route, Track, and Map Set dialogs to not be highlighted properly when the user tabs to one. Fixed defect where degree symbol was not displayed correctly on non-Western European language operating systems. Fixed defect where MapSource would crash if the name of a waypoint was edited using the Waypoint Edit button on the Route Properties dialog. Added ability to view a product's 'Notice' file, such as an End User License Agreement, if the product contains such a file. Fixed problem with missing 'Poor Signal' indication when GPS 35 USB loses coverage. Edited pop-up text over generic highways (e.g. Those in Europe) to not prepend 'Hwy', while still prepending 'Hwy' to US state highways. Modified MapSource's behavior so that when it is activated by the mouse, it handles the clicks in a consistent fashion with other Windows programs. (i.e., If the mouse-click is on the minimize, maximize, close, or system button, it responds immediately to the click. But if mouse-click is on the client area, such as the map or the scrollbars, it only activates MapSource without further processing.) Made updates to the Autorouting feature to fix a bug where MapSource would fail to observe access restrictions on certain service roads when computing a route. Added logic to handle situations that arise when the user switches to an installed map product whose required code page is not supported by the user's operating system. If this situation occurs, MapSource will notify the user of the problem, and switch them to 'No Map'. Modified default value for Finder Address matches to 100 instead of 25. Fixed bug that caused MapSource to fail when the user would change the route ID in the route dialog and then try to show the route on the map from the right click menu. Fixed bug in the waypoint selection dialog where the user's selection would be highlighted, but not be made visible, if the selected waypoint was not already visible in the window. Added some optimizations to increase autorouting speed. Improved the autorouter's handling of data problems present in some map products. Fixed problem where the autorouter was failing to correctly handle an error reported by the database. Modified autorouting so that it would correctly route pedestrians against the flow of traffic on one-way streets. Fixed defect where PCX files were being imported incorrectly in certain regional settings. Fixed problem where the font dialog provided access to certain fonts that would not display map labels correctly. Fixed problem where the incorrect keyboard shortcut was listed for 'showing selected items on map' in German resources. Fixed bug that caused MapSource to crash if two waypoints symbols had the same name. Fixed bug where MapSource crashed while displaying popup windows when the user was hovering over features near the edge of the map window. Modified finder dialog so that the buttons for spell and find address and city searches were disabled if the current map product lacked the required data. Also modified finder dialog so that the spell and find feature worked correctly for Asian languages. 4.09 - Please Note: MapSource version 4.09 download includes the latest MapSource help files for the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Fixed a problem where MapSource displayed a fatal dialog if the user tried to display marine chart properties for a chart with dates before 1970. Improved map drawing order. Some larger scale maps were drawing on top of smaller scale maps. Changed software version number from 4.08 to 4.09. 4.08 - Please Note: MapSource version 4.08 download includes the latest MapSource help files for the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Made various improvements to tide prediction dialog. Made elevation lines lighter in topographic maps. Fixed problem that was causing some errors in displayed information in the product info dialog. Fixed problem that allowed documents to sometimes contain waypoints with non-unique names which caused a problem when transferred to the GPS. Fixed problem where out of range conditions would cause file export operations to abort. Changed the display of depth values to always have resolution of tenths. Fixed a problem that caused waypoint symbols to be incorrectly imported from PCX5 files. Changed track drawing to display actual track points when zoomed in sufficiently. Added 'Time' tab to Preferences dialog to allow user to choose the time zone for displayed times. Added ability to cut, copy, paste and delete portions of tracks. Changed the route properties dialog to have a cancel button and a close box. Changed the way that elapsed time is calculated for tracks such that it is the sum of the absolute values of the individual leg times. Changed track drawing to add ability to highlight the currently selected piece of the track being edited. Changed the track properties dialog so that leg statistics are displayed on the same line as the first point of the leg instead of the last point of the leg. Fixed a bug that caused MapSource to report that it could not open a file and then exit if the user had a 'compact' installation. Improved undo functionality such that if nothing is available to be undone then the document does not need to be saved. Added menu item to open the Garmin web page to see the latest available MapSource version. Changed the data size of maps shown in the status bar to have 2 decimal places precision. Changed the display of time spans greater than 24 hours to show as 'N days HH:MM:SS'. Time spans less than 24 hours still show as 'HH:MM:SS'. Changed address searching functionality to work with alphanumeric street numbers. Changed the waypoint properties dialog to immediately reflect visible changes in the map window.

Fixed a problem where trailing spaces in the find dialog caused things not to be found. 4.06 - Changed version number from 4.05 to 4.06. Added support for GPS 12 Arabic. Corrected various misspellings. Fixed problem which caused very small download regions not to be selected at high zoom scales. 4.05 - Added drawing support for BlueChart data. Added properties dialogs for BlueChart features. Added tide prediction dialog for tide stations. Changed map tool to select the map thats edge is closest to the pointer when there are overlapping maps (as in BlueChart data). Changed map tool to highlight all maps that will be selected when dragging with the mouse. Added the ability (in the map tool) to choose a single detailed map to be drawn when there are overlapping maps (as in BlueChart data). Changed the default number of serial ports to eight. Changed NMEA real-time tracking to always display a position even if the unit's datum is not WGS 84 or is not known. Also, display a warning for each of those cases.

Do not automatically turn off GPS Map Detail when a user presses cancel after being prompted to insert a CD. Create a direct route if the user clicks cancel when asked for a CD. Changed preferences dialog to display a read-only mag var when auto mag var is chosen. The mag var displayed is determined by the current center of the map display. Changed to not highlight uninstalled maps, not allow selection of uninstalled maps and filter uninstalled maps out of.mps documents when they are opened. Changed to draw downloadable map regions always, not just when the map tool is selected. Added ability to turn off GPS after transfers. Added ability to remove route calculation data from maps to yield a smaller total data size. 4.00 - Added support for new City Navigator product.

Maps are now transferred first instead of last. Fixed a problem that caused route transfer progress to be displayed incorrectly when transferring to some GPS units. Fixed a divide by zero problem in the transfer progress code. Fixed a problem that caused the sign of user-specified magnetic variation to be wrong. Changed longitude origin value in the user-defined grid dialog to be displayed with 4 digits to the right of the decimal. Made several internal changes to improve reliability. Uses highest-resolution map data when creating waypoints graphically thus improving waypoint placement. Changed text in cursor pop-ups to be mixed case instead of upper case. Changed display of British National, Irish Trans Mercator and MGRS grid eastings and northings to include leading zeroes. Added display of time remaining when saving to or opening from a device. Changed the default grid to be Lat/Lon hddd mm.mmm. A more user-friendly dialog is now displayed when MapSource can't find a needed file. Moved serial port settings from the preferences dialog to the 'Open from Device' and 'Save to Device' dialogs. Corrected problem which caused altitudes exchanged between MapSource and a GPS to disagree. As a result of this fix, waypoint and track altitude data that was obtained from a GPS and then saved to an MPS file will now display correctly in MapSource with no user intervention required. However, waypoint altitudes in existing MPS files that were manually entered by the user with previous versions of MapSource will now be incorrect and should be corrected by the user. Corrected a problem which caused MapSource to fail if the user right- clicked in the title bar while creating a route graphically and then left clicked in the map. Saya memang aktif dalam kegiatan Pramuka karena disana diajarkan hidup mandiri, bertanggung jawab dan banyak hal lainnya. Pada saat itu Saat Liburan sekolah Saya dan teman-teman ingin mengadakan acara kemah bersama untuk mengisi kegiatan liburan kami dan menambah pengalaman saya dan teman-teman memang senang berkemah. “Vi, bangun Vi. Katanya hari ini mau pergi kemah?” kata ibu dengan lembut sambil membangunkanku. Tunggu sebentar. Aku masih ngantuk. Lima menit lagi ya!” kataku lembut dengan nada mengantuk. Nanti kamu bisa terlambat!” ucap ibu dengan nada yang mulai tak sabar. “Oke, oke, aku bangun,” ucapku gemas. Ibu lalu melangkah keluar kamar, menuju ke bawah dan menyiapkan sarapan. Seperti biasa. Sedangkan aku, berguling dari tempat tidur dan bersiap untuk berkemah. Setelah semua siap, aku menuruni tangga dan duduk di meja makan. Ya, hari ini memang sudah kutunggu-tunggu. Karena aku akan berkemah berkemah dengan teman-temanku. Kami akan berkemah di tengah hutan di dekat rumah nenekku. Ayah dan ibu tak akan ikut, kemah ini hanya untuk aku dan teman-temanku, Tyra, Andi, dan Firman. Setelah sarapan, aku langsung diantar oleh supir untuk menjemput teman-temanku. “Viana, kamu sudah jemput semuanya kan?” tanya Andi. “Tunggu, coba ku cek dulu. Kamu, Firman, Tyra. Pak, langsung ke rumah nenek saja!” kataku. Sesampainya kami di rumah nenek, kami semua langsung disambut dengan hangat. Kami memang tidak menghabiskan banyak waktu di sana, kami hanya mengambil tenda, beberapa peralatan kemah, dan kebutahn pokok yang mungkin kita butuhkan. Setelah semua selesai, kami langsung menuju ke hutan. Kami menyusuri sepanjang jalan untuk menuju ke hutan tersebut. Kami sempat tersesat namun Andi dapat menemukan jalan yang seharusnya kami lalui. “Vi, hutan yang kamu bilang itu letaknya dimana sih? Sudah dari tadi kita jalan mengelilingi tempat ini tapi tidak sampai-sampai juga?” tanya Firman dengan nada yang kelelahan. “ Seharusnya kita sudah sampai tapi entah mengapa kok belum sampai ya?” kataku keherannan. “Ndik, kamu kan pernah ke hutan ini sama aku, kamu ingat tidak hutannya masih jauh atau tidak?” tanyaku. “Saharusnya sih disini,” ujar Andi. Keadaan seketika menjadi hening. “Vi, sadar tidak kalau kita dari tadi sebenarnaya berjalan di tengah hutan yang dulu kita datangi?” tanya Andi. Aku melihat ke sekeliling dan mulai menyadari yang Andi katakan namun aku tak mau mempercyainya. “Tidak mungkin. Hutan yang waktu itu kita datangi kan lebat. Banyak pohonnya. Ini kan hutan gundul!” teriakku. “Vi, tenang Vi. Mungkin Andi dan kamu salah jalan. Lagi,” kata Tyra menennangkan aku. Aku menarik nafas dan mulai berfikir jernih. Firman tiba-tiba memecah kehening dengan berkata, “Eh, dengar suara itu tidak? Asalnya dari jurang disana,”. “Mana?” tanya Tyra. Vi, kamu harus liat ini. Hutannya.” kata Andi tak melanjutkan kalimatnya. “Ndik, kamu tidak sa.” kataku tanpa sanggup melanjutkan kalimat. Aku, Andi, Firman, dan Tyra terkejut melihat pemaandangan yang mereka lihat. Yang kami lihat adalah beribu-ribu pohon sedang ditebang. Ya, terdapat sekitar empat rumah kecil sebagai tempat berlindung para penebang, dua gudang besar untuk menyimpan kayu, dan beberapa unit alat berat. “Vi, kita mau kemah di mana? Hutan yang akan kita tempati saja sudah hancur. Aku tidak mau kemah di tengah hutan yang gersang seperti ini!” keluh Firman. “Bagaimana kalau kita ke sana sekalian menanyakan orang-orang disana apakah mereka punya izin untuk menebabang atau tidak. Kan kalau mereka tidak punya izin, bisa kita laporkan,” gagas Tyra sambil menunjuk-nunjuk tempat terjadinya penabangan pohon secara besar-besaran. Aku pun terkejut dengan gagasan Tyra dan berteriak, “Tyr, tidak semudah itu menuju ketempat itu. Kita harus turun kebawah dan belum tentu mereka mau mengaku tentang sah atau tidaknya proyek mereka!” “Tunggu. Vi, di dekat sana masih ada hutan yang lebat. Bagaimana kalau kita kemah disana saja?” tanya Andi. “Ide bagus Ndik! Ayo kita kesana!” kata Firman dengan semangat. Akhirnya, kami berempat melanjutkan perjalanan menuju hutan untuk di jadikan tempat kemah. Di dalam perjalanan, kami mengalami banyak hal. Kami merasa senang karena melihat beberapa pucuk bakal pepohonan yang indah. Namun perasaan kami dapat tiba-tiba berubah menjadi sedih karena membayangkan bahwa pepohonan yang kami lihat akan hilang ketika pohon itu mulai beeranjak tua. Hutan yang dulu kita pernah kunjungi kan indah. Kenapa harus di tebang ya?” ucapku pada Andi. Tapi yang masih menganggu pikiranku, apa mereka punya izin? Karena kalau tidak, mereka bisa terkena hukuman!” Tegas Andi. Setelah berjam-jam berjalan, akhirnya kami tiba di tempat perkemahan. Kami segera mempersiapkan tempat tenda kami. Setelah tenda selesai didirikan, kami berbagi tugas. Firman dan Tyra merapikan isi tenda sedangkan aku dan Andi menyiapkan api unggun untuk memasak makanan dan menghangatkan diri. Setelah semua siap, kami semua memasak makanan untuk makan malam. Ya, sebagian besar memang tidak terlalu enak secara tidak ada satupun diantara kami yang pandai memasak. Walau begitu tak berarti kita tak bisa memakan makanan yan kami bikin. Cukup mengenyangkan. Setelah kami selesai makan dan merapikan tempat, kami bersantai di sekeliling api unggun. Tyra dan Firman mengobrol, aku sedang bermain api (bukan kebiasaan yang baik), dan Andi membaca buku yang ia bawa. Namun tiba-tiba, Andi memecahkan keheningan dan berbicara padaku, “ Vi, apa nama daerah ini? Aku lupa,” tanya Andi. Aku terdiam sejenak dan berkata, “Kunjani kalu tidak salah. Wajah Andi mulai berubah. Dengan serentak ia berdiri dan berkata, “ Ini hutan lindung! Aku baca di buku ini, hutan ini hutan lindung. Berarti tidak ada yang boleh menebang pohon yang tumbuh di hutan ini!”. Kami bertiga terkejut dan dalam beberapa saat, keadaan menjadi hening. Namun tiba-tiba tawa meledak dari mulut kami bertiga. “Andi!, tidak usah bercanda. Kita semua sedih melihat penebangan pohon besar-besaran itu. Apa kau terlalu putus asa hingga kau mengarang cerita ini?” ucap Tyra sinis. Firman berkata, “Jangan berkata seperti itu, mungkin Andi ada benarnya. Atau mungkin, Andi salah lihat,”. Setelah perkataan Firman tersebut, mereka bertiga berlanjut dengan berdebat atas kebenaran ini. Aku hanya terdiam melihat mereka bertiga berdebat. Karena aku sudah tak tahan mendengar mereka, aku pun berteriak dan berkata, “Sudah, sudah! Jangan berdebat lagi. Bagaimana kalau kita memastikan segalanya dengan cara menanyakan warga di sekitar hutan ini? Bagaimana kalau kita mulai tidur sekarang dan melanjutkan perjalannan besok? Mereka bertiga mengangguk dengan wajah yang tak ikhklas. Setelah mematikan api unggun, kami pun bersiap untuk beranjak tidur. Pagi-pagi sekali kami bangun dan Aku Andi dan Tyra pergi untuk menggambil air yang berada di bawah tempat kami mendirikan tenda sementara Firman berjaga di tenda, jalanya pun terjal dan licin tetapi saat kami mendengar suara gemercik air kami tambah semangat untuk melanjutkan perjalanan dan akhirnya kita sampai di air terjun. Kami disana hanya untuk menggambil air dan cuci muka, airnya sangat jernih dan dingin. Hutan ini sangat indah dan menyimpan kekayaan alam yang menakjubkan tetapi kami semua juga geram dengan ulah para penebang liar yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Setelah mengambil air kami semua kembali ke tenda, setelah sampai di tenda kami semua memulai misi kami, mencari tahu apakah hutan ini hutan lindung atau bukan. Kami berempat memulai misi dengan menanyakan setiap warga yang kami temui dalam perjalanan ke rumah nenek. Ya, memang semua ini sangat merepotkan namun tetap saja kami lakukan sebagai bukti bila proyek penebangan tersebut legal atau illegal. Setelah berjam-jam berjalan keluar hutan dan berkeliling hutan, kami pun tiba di rumah nenek. Tyra, Firman, dan Andi langsung berlari ke dalam rumah, meletakan barang-barang dan menghampiri nenek. “Nek, nenek kan sudah lama tinggal di desa ini, saya mau tahu apakah hutan yang terletak di sekitar kampung ini adalah hutan lindung?” tanya Andi tanpa ragu-ragu. Nenek pun terkejut dan tanpa berfikir panjang ia langsung menjawab, “Iya. Namun semenjak tahun 2002, tempat ini sudah tidak pernah diurus. Bahkan, selain warga di sekitar hutan tersebut, tidak ada yang mengetahui kalau hutan tersebut adalah hutan lindung,’. Andi tiba-tiba berteriak dan berkata, “Hore! Ini berarti perkataanku benar!”. Aku, Tyra, dan Firman pun menatap Andi dengan heran dan kami berteriak dengan serentak, “Andi!”. “Ndik, sadar! Itu berarti hutan yang kita lihat tidak boleh di tebang,” ucapku sambil mengguncang-guncang badan Andi. “Lalu, apa yang harus kita lakukan untuk menghentikan proyek itu sebelum proyek itu menghancurkan seluruh hutan lindung? Ndik, kamu kan pintar, ada ide tidak?” tanya Tyra. “Bagaimana kalu kita laporkan ke polisi?” kataku dengan penuh semangat. Andi pun berkata, “Vi, kita tak punya cukup bukti apakah mereka mempunyai izin yang sah atau tidak,”. Firman yang sejak tadi terdiam tiba-tiba berkata, “Bagaimana kalu kita buat petisi. Kita kumpulkan tanda tangan untuk setiap orang yang menolak proyek tersebut,”. Semua terdiam dan menatap Firman. Kami semua lalu mengangguk dan memulai petisi tersebut. Kami mulai mengumpulkan tanda tangan dari seluruh warga kampung. Untungnya, kami mendapatkan tanda tangan dari setiap warga yang tinggal di desa. Dan sekarang, yang menjadi tantangan berikutnya adalah bagaimana caranya menyerahkan petisi tesebut kepada penyelenggara proyek penebangan hutan yang besar-besaran tersebut. Setelah beberapa saat mereka melakukan debat dan tukar pikiran, akhirnya mereka akan memberanikan diri untuk datang ke tempat proyek penebangan hutan tersebut. “Ndik, kamu yakin kita bisa meyakinkan sang penyelenggara proyek agar mengghentikan proyeknya yang besar-besaran itu?” tanyaku kepada Andi dengan rasa cemas. “Aku tak tahu. Namun kalau tidak kita coba, kita tak akan pernah tahu hasilnya,” kata Andi. Walau wajahnya nampak tenang, namun suaranya sangat terdengar ragu-ragu. Namun, keraguan kami tak akan menghalangi niat kami. Kami tetap melanjutkan perjalanan menuju tempat tersebut. Akhirnya, kami tiba di tempat yang kami tuju. Ya, tempat penebangan hutan. Aku tak percaya apa yang kulihat. Semua orang yang bekerja di sini dengan mudahnya memotong-motong pohon yang besar dan kuat. Andi berjalan kearah seorang pekerja dan bertanya di mana orang yang menyelenggarakan penebangan ini. “Oh, maksud anda Bapak Suwirdjo. Beliau ada di dalam tenda tersebut,” kata sang pekerja menunjuk-nunjuk tenda yang berdiri di samping gudang. Kami berempat mulai menarik nafas dan berjalan ke arah tenda tersebut. “Halo, bisakah kami berbicara dengan Bapak Suwirdjo?” tanya Firman. Seorang pria berdiri dan berkata bahwa ialah Bapak Suwirdjo. Kami akhirnya menjelaskan segala yang terjadi. Kami juga menyertakan petisi penolakan proyek ini. Dan ternyata, Bapak Suwerdjo setuju dan akan menghentikan proyek ini. Ia juga menjanjikan akan menanam kembali semua pohon yang telah ditebang. Semenjak kejadian ini, hutan lindung Kunjani mulai di perhatikan kembali oleh pemerintaah. Hutannya pun mulai kembali hijau. Dan desa ini menjadi lebih terkenal. CRACK 3D Studio Max R2 Serial: 62 Key: V13M CODE: 039120D 3D Studio Max R4 Serial: 29 CD Key: XLSQBQ ACT! The childhood of, the founder of the in the, is a topic of great interest in the popular culture of, especially in. The earliest detailed descriptions of Shivaji's birth and boyhood are found in the works composed 150 years after his death. By this time, Shivaji had become a semi-legendary figure, and several stories had developed around his legend. Historian notes: 'The stories told in the later about the history of his parents during the year preceding his birth and the events of his own life up to the age of twenty, are in many points contrary to authentic history, and in others improbable, or, at all events, unsupported by any evidence.' Shivaji's birthplace on Shivneri Fort Shivaji was born in the hill-fort of near the city of. While Jijabai was pregnant, she had prayed the local deity () called 'Shivai' for the good of her expected child. Shivaji was named after this local deity. Birth date [ ] The exact birthdate of Shivaji has been a matter of dispute among the historians. The Government of accepts the 3rd day of the dark half of, 1551 of Saka calendar (Friday, 19 February 1630) as the official birthdate of Shivaji. This date is supported by several other historians including Dr. A horoscope of Shivaji found in the possession of Pandit Mithalal Vyas of also supports this birthdate. According to, Shivaji's court poet Paramanand has also mentioned Shivaji birth date as 19 February 1630. However, some other historians such as and Rao Bahadur Sardesai believed that Shivaji was born in 1627. The various suggested dates include: • the second day of the light half of in the year 1549 of i.e. Thursday, 6 April 1627. • 10 April 1627 • May 1627 [ ] Sarkar believed that there are no contemporary reliable records of Shivaji's exact birth date and boyhood, and the composed years after his birth contain several unreliable anecdotes. Bal Krishna rejects the date suggested by Sarkar, criticizing him for over dependence on 91-Qalmi Bakhar (composed in 1760s) and Shivadigvijaya Bakhar (composed in 1818).

He started his military career with Nizamshahi of Ahmadnagar. Later he briefly joined the Mughals and then the of Bijapur for the rest of his career. His mother was Jijabai, the daughter of of Sindkhed, a Jagirdar under the Nizamshahi and later with the Mughals. Shivaji was the fifth son born to. Three of his siblings died as infants; Shivaji's elder brother Sambhaji (not to be confused with his son ) was the only one to have survived. While Shivaji was accompanied mostly by his mother, Sambhaji lived with his father Shahaji at present day. During the period of Shivaji's birth, the power in was shared by three –,, and the. Most of the then forces had pledged their loyalties to one of these powers and were engaged in a continuous game of mutual alliances and aggression. Legend has it that Shivaji's paternal grandfather was insulted by Lakhujirao, a in of, who refused to give his daughter in marriage to Shahaji. This inspired Maloji to greater conquests to obtain a higher stature and an important role under Nizamshahi, something that eventually led him to achieving the title of (military commander and an imperial administrator). Volleyball was introduced in India in the early 20th century, when some Indians left for overseas countries and learnt physical education and training. They were trained in volleyball and brought this game to India. The first organization, which provided training of volleyball to the youngsters, was YMCA. Leveraging this new found recognition and power, he was able to convince Lakhujirao Jadhav to give his daughter in marriage to his son Shahaji. Shahaji following in the footsteps of his father, began service with the young Nizamshah of Ahmednagar and together with, Nizam's minister, he won back, for the Nizamshahi,most of the territories lost to the Mughals during their attack of 1600.: 143 Thereafter, Lakhujirao Jadhav, Shahaji's father-in-law, attacked Shahaji at the Mahuli fort and laid a siege. Shahaji was accompanied by, who was four months pregnant. After seeing no relief coming from Nizam, Shahaji decided to vacate the fort and planned his escape. He sent Jijabai off to the safety of Shivneri fort, which was under his control. It was here at Shivneri that Shivaji was born. In the meanwhile, suspecting his disloyalty, Lakhujirao Jadhav and his three sons were murdered by the Nizamshah in his court when they came to join his forces. Unsettled by this incident, Shahaji Raje decided to part ways with the Nizamshahi Sultanate and raise the banner of independence and establish an independent kingdom. After this episode Ahmednagar fell to the Mughal emperor, and shortly thereafter Shahaji responded by attacking the Mughal garrison there and regained control of this region again. In response the Mughals sent a much larger force in 1635 to recover the area back and forced Shahaji to retreat into Mahuli. The result of this was that Adilshah of Bijapur agreed to pay tribute to the Mughals in return for the authority to rule this region in 1636.: 143 Thereafter, Shahaji was inducted by of and was offered a distant (landholding) at present-day, but he was allowed to keep his old land tenures and holdings in Pune. Shahaji thus kept changing his loyalty among Nizamshah, Adilshah and the Mughals but always kept his jagir at Pune and his small force of men with him. Relation with parents [ ]. A 1960s Statue of Shivaji and Jijamata installed at All historical accounts agree that Shivaji was extremely devoted to his mother Jijabai. His father Shahaji's affection and wealth were directed more towards his step-brother During the 1630s, Shahaji was involved in campaigns against the Deccan Sultanates and the Mughals. In October 1636, he had to cede Shivneri to the Mughals as per a peace treaty. He retained the control of his ancestral of and Supa. This ancestral jagir was formerly held under Nizam Shah, but in 1636, Shahaji entered the service of Adil Shah of Bijapur. According to Tarikh-i-Shivaji, Shahaji placed this jagir under. He asked Konddeo to bring Jijabai and Shivaji from Shivneri to Pune, and appointed him as their guardian. Shahaji spent most of his time in Bangalore, close to Tukabai and Vyankoji. Shivaji grew very close to his mother, Jijabai, and almost adored her like a deity. Jijabai led a deeply religious, almost ascetic, life amidst neglect and isolation. This religious environment had a profound influence on Shivaji. Education [ ]. Shivaji receiving the blessings of the Goddess (bazaar art, 1940's) Shivaji was trained at, along with his brother, under the supervision of Shahaji, and later on, at Pune, under the supervision of his mother. Tarikh-i-Shivaji states that trained Shivaji personally, and also appointed an excellent teacher for him. In a short time, Shivaji became a skilled fighter and a good horse-rider. The military commanders and were appointed to train Shivaji in martial arts. Pansambal taught him swordsmanship, and later served as his military advisor. Historians have debated whether Shivaji was literate or not. A few authors, writing centuries after Shivaji's death, mention that he had mastered several arts and sciences at a young age. However, no contemporary records contain any information about his book-learning. Several letters, allegedly written by Shivaji or containing lines written by Shivaji, are available. However, the authenticity of these letters has not gained universal acceptance among the historians. Jadunath Sarkar writes: 'The weight of evidence is in favour of the view that Shivaji was unlettered, like three other heroes of medieval India —,, and. The many Europeans who visited him never saw him write anything; when they presented any petition to him the Rajah always passed it on to his ministers to be read to him. No piece of writing in his own hand is known to exist.' However, other historians state that Shivbharat, written by Shivaji's court poet Paramanand, indicates that he was a literate. Shivaji's naming of forts in Sanskrit language also indicates that he was literate. [ ] Whether or not Shivaji was literate, it is well known that he had mastered the two great Hindu epics, and, by listening to recitations and story-tellings. The noble examples mentioned in the epics greatly impressed his young mind. He was deeply interested in religious teachings, and sought the society of Hindu and Muslim saints wherever he went. Early associates [ ] As the administrator of Shahaji's jagir, Dadoji Konddeo established complete control over the region. He won over most of the local Maval (chiefs), and subdued others. Shivaji drew his earliest trusted comrades and a large number of his soldiers from this region. Some of the early Mavlans associated with Shivaji were the chieftains Yesaji Kank and Baji Pasalkar, who were of his own age., a young deshmukh of Konkan, was another of his early associates. In the company of his Maval comrades, a young Shivaji wandered over the hills and forests of the Sahyadri range, hardening himself and getting a first-hand knowledge of the land. By 1639, he was surrounded by able and loyal officers. Around 1639, his father had sent four officers:: 62 • Shamrao (or Shyamraj) Nilkanth Ranjhekar (or Rozefyar), the (Prime Minister/Chancellor). • Balkrishna Hanumante, the Muzumdar/ (Accountant-General) • Sonaji Pant or Sonopant, the dabir (secretary) • Raghunath Ballal Korde, sabnis (paymaster) In addition to these, Shivaji appointed two more important officers on his own: • Tukoji Chor Maratha, the sar-i-naubat (commander-in-chief) • Narayan Pant, the divisional paymaster Foundations of self-rule [ ]. This section does not any. Unsourced material may be challenged and. (November 2017) () In 1644, Shahaji had built in for his wife and his son Shivaji. A in which read, ' This is the royal seal of Shivaji, son of Shahaji. This royal seal is for the welfare of people. This seal (the rule of the seal) will grow like the new moon grows', was handed to Shivaji. Thus Shivaji started his career as an independent young prince of a small kingdom on a mission. However, Shivaji used the title of Raja (king) only after Shahaji's death. Earliest conquests [ ] The Chitnis Bakhar (1810), described by later authors as of questionable accuracy, mentions that Shivaji defeated and killed Krishnaji Nayak Bandal, the of Hirdas Maval, who had refused to accept Dadoji Konddeo's orders. However, believes this to be incorrect, and states that this subjugation was completed by Dadoji Konddeo himself. Shivaji along with his friends and soldiers took an oath to fight for the (self-governance) at Rohideshwara temple. Per Jadunath Sarkar, young Shivaji and Dadoji Konddeo did not always see eye to eye. Dadoji wanted Shivaji to aspire to be a loyal chieftain of the Adilshahi Sultan but Shivaji with daring efforts to capture forts in the had other goals in mind.Dadoji, an old man at that time wrote to Shahaji about his son without any response from the father See also [ ] •, the residential palace where Shivaji stayed during his early life References [ ]. • ^ Jadunath Sarkar (1919).

I wish that bullets would have bounced off the wall like in the original, as it was fun to hit the richochets into the enemy for double damage. Other than that the game just doesn't feel as deep, and some guns are just plain useless, where in the original each gun had a separate puzzle. The concept for the fat bob fight was genius, even though it was just reduced to a button masher. Would've liked it to be an unlockable gun. Or maybe I just haven't unlocked it yet.

Providing fundamental knowledge necessary to understand graphene’s atomic structure, band-structure, unique properties and an overview of groundbreaking current and emergent applications, this new handbook is essential reading for materials scientists, chemists and physicists. Since the 2010 physics Nobel Prize awarded to Geim and Novosolev for their groundbreaking work isolating graphene from bulk graphite, there has been a huge surge in interest in the area. This has led to a large number of news books on graphene. However, for such a vast inflow of new entrants, the current literature is surprisingly slight, focusing exclusively on current research or books on previous 'hot topic' allotropes of carbon. This book covers fundamental groundwork of the structure, property, characterization methods and applications of graphene, along with providing the necessary knowledge of graphene’s atomic structure, how it relates to its band-structure and how this in turn leads to the amazing properties of graphene. And so it provides new graduate students and post-docs with a resource that equips them with the knowledge to undertake their research. Key Features.

Warner Department Of Materials University Of Oxford. Oxford, UK Franziska Schaffel. Providing fundamental knowledge necessary to understand graphene's atomic structure, band-structure, unique properties and an overview of groundbreaking current and emergent applications, this new handbook is essential reading for materials scientists, chemists and physicists. Since the 2010 physics Nobel Prize awarded to Geim and Novosolev for their groundbreaking work isolating graphene from bulk graphite, there has been a huge surge in interest in the area. This has led to a large number of news books on graphene. However, for such a vast inflow of new entrants, the current literature is surprisingly slight, focusing exclusively on current research or books on previous 'hot topic' allotropes of carbon. This book covers fundamental groundwork of the structure, property, characterization methods and applications of graphene, along with providing the necessary knowledge of graphene's atomic structure, how it relates to its band-structure and how this in turn leads to the amazing properties of graphene. And so it provides new graduate students and post-docs with a resource that equips them with the knowledge to undertake their research.

Writing for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students in materials sciences, Warner.and collaborators present six 'relatively self-contained' chapters intended to convey the necessary basic information about graphene in relation to a broad variety of topics.' --Reference & Research Book News, December 2013 Read more. This excellent book offers an expansive overview of the tremendously exciting field of research that the discovery of graphene created. The book covers a broad spectrum: from the fundamental aspects of graphene’s intrinsic properties right through to the diverse applications of this ‘wonder material’. Difficult as it is to take stock of the rapidly expanding field of graphene and two-dimensional materials research, this book has admirable depth in the subject areas discussed and will be a valuable tool for both early- and advanced-stage researchers to investigate fundamental phenomena associated with graphene. The text identifies key research groups in the field of emerging technologies by discussing fundamental breakthroughs made in the preparation, processing and measurement of graphene and is an excellent guide for new researchers in the field to build upon the knowledge base which has been amassed in the area. Following the seminal experiments on graphene that truly elucidated the diverse intrinsic properties of the material (electronic, thermal, mechanical and chemical) a surge of research interest has been directed towards investigating this carbon material. This focus has in turn drawn attention to a range of other 2D nanomaterials that offer enormous scope in their range of intrinsic properties. In this context, the text offers an extremely timely and valuable perspective on the first of these materials to attain such enormous attention and is an excellent reference by which to direct analogous research towards other two-dimensional nanomaterials. This book offers the reader a clear and concise summary of many of the active areas of graphene research presented with an excellent understanding of knowledge in the field. This book is certainly of great value to anyone wishing to engage in this exciting field and will undoubtedly be an excellent reference text for scientist and engineers alike. A great read.

Randy Newman - Good Old Boys Good Old Boys Randy Newman Reprise 2193 Released: October 1974 Chart Peak: #36 Weeks Charted: 23 The Ambrose Bierce of rock & roll has released another selection of his bitter and desperately sardonic fantasies. Good Old Boys has a conceptually 'Southern' atmosphere; it also has drunkenness and depression, fun celebrations of political figures, lunacy, congenital birth defects and obsessional portraits of stereotypes that can leave the listener confused as to whether Newman means what he sings or not. The music is fresh -- especially Newman's piano. But between flashes of genius and transcendance comes morbidity. After repeated listenings, one impression lingers -- Newman is a troubled man. He has made a career out of confusing his audience using dazzling irony and dreadfully warped images as setups for laughs -- a new version of the old shadow play of the poor spastic hitting himself in the forehead with an ice-cream cone. VG+ (Very Good Plus) A well cared-for used record. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have scuffs or light scratches. May have some very light surface noise and/or isolated crackles and pops. Jacket may have more pronounced ring wear, moderate wear to edges and corners, light creases. In his album Good Old Boys, Randy Newman does a masterful job describing the culture in the South during the 1970s. The 1974 recording. You don't know whether to laugh or cry, and that is Randy Newman's rare and bizarre skill,” (Davis, Randy Newman: Good Old Boys, Rolling Stone). Pitchfork rated. In earlier songs Newman presented the Apocalypse (burning rivers and atomic bomb jokes) and somehow you had to laugh. He showed us his adipose little freaks and the commonplace nightmares we all hve in which 'everybody scared me, but you scared me the most.' Even slavery became absurdity, poignantly comic in his great 'Sail Away.' Original album advertising art. Click image for larger view. Good Old Boys is a bit more crazed than Newman's earlier work. 'Rednecks' starts with Lester Maddox and 'some smart-ass New York Jew' on a TV talk show, talks about the rednecks keeping the niggers down and about who these rednecks are: We got no-necked oilmen from Texas And good ol' boys from Tennessee And college men from L.S.U. Went in dumb. Come out dumb too. Then the sone moves up North in a savage litany of the names of the black ghettos; they're doing a fair job of keeping the niggers down up there too. 'Rednecks' is a staggering song that is also topical: The week the record was released there was a brutal racial incident in Boston over school desegregation. Like all effective satire the lyrics are rooted in bare hostility and aggression, but the sprightly reeds and horn fills give this angry screed a sardonic ragtime air. 'Birmingham' is similar to the earlier 'Dayton, Ohio 1903' and Newman's writing again sounds like Stephen Foster after a prefrontal lobotomy. But within the context of Newman's broiling psyche this innocuous tune becomes portentious and malevolent. The same is true for 'Marie,' a whimpering dirge about being drunk. A weeping, slinking arrangement and an unhealthy dose of maudlin self-pity also mark 'Guilty.' Along with his pearls Newman gives us his swine. President' is a funny personal plea to the disgraced Nixon to have pity on the working man while inumerating Nixon's crimes and recounting his mental unbalance. 'Louisiana 1927' revives the southern motif in a melodic reprise of 'Sail Away' updated 200 years. Now the South is wrecked and shamed in this song as if, Newman implies by reusing the 'Sail' theme, in retribution for the sins of its fathers. Newman leads a deadpan male chorus in a short rendition of 'Every Man a King,' Huey P. Long's ruthless, populist campaign song of the Thirties. This segues into Newman's symphonette to Long: 'Kingfish.' Newman has his latest hero (who was assassinated in 1935) asking his cracker constituents, Who took on the Standard Oil men and whipped their ass Just like he promised he'd do? Ain't no Standard Oil men gonna run this state Gonna be run by little folks like me and you. With its shifting tempi, rocking lines and hilarious vocal accents the portrait is brilliant, the high point of the record. It's followed by a trio of totally schizoid songs. 'Naked Man' boasts outrageous lyrics and a superb, delirious arrangement. 'Wedding in Cherokee County' is a monody describing a cracker's impending marriage to a desultory, slatternly madwoman way off in the bogs. The hero of 'Back on My Feet Again' is trying to convince his shrink to let him out of the mental hospital. Over Ry Cooder's understated slide guitar Newman tells a story about how his sister married 'a Negro from the Eastern Shore' who later turns out to be a while millionaire incognito because he was looking for a woman who didn't love him only for his money. The side ends with 'Rollin',' the third lament of heavy boozing on the album. Good Old Boys is another dark, dark record. Though it contains nothing as monumentally grim as 'God's Song' on (in which a deranged and vengeful deity rubs the faces of his children in humiliating shit) it is a continuation of Newman's deceptive, mercurial work. It mystifies, it confuses, it entertains, it swings. You don't know whether to laugh or cry, and that is Randy Newman's rare and bizarre skill. - Stephen Davis, Rolling Stone, 11-21-74. Bonus Reviews! The lifestyles and politics of the South provide some of the most fascinating stories in U.S. History, and Newman's latest project tackles them full force, primarily from the viewpoint of 'good old boys.' If you're expecting a satirical set, however, forget it. Newman treats his subject matter with knowledge and respect, as well as his usual musical expertise. What we have here is a grouping of superbly arranged songs with the kind of lyrics that literally paint a picture of different places, different eras. Newman's vocals are perhaps the best he has yet come up with, expressing an empathy rarely found in a pop project. He also finds a fascination in the legendary Huey Long, one of America's most misunderstood political figures, even including a long-penned cut that helped him gain 9,000,000 presidential votes one year. A coherent, well done, most definitely deserving of exposure album. Best cuts: 'Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man),' 'Louisiana,' 'Kingfish,' 'Guilty,' 'A Wedding In Cherokee County,' 'Rollin'.' - Billboard, 1974. On Good Old Boys, Newman increasingly focused his obsessions on the South, but his slant seemed to be rooted more in Steppin' Fetchit and Shirley Temple Little Rebel Hollywood films than in reality. As distorted as viewing things through that particular lens may be, the South in Good Old Boys is undeniably poignant. 'Louisiana 1927' is an affecting account of a spring flood, while 'Marie' (a love song from a drunk) is one of the most touching songs written in popular music. The grand, sweeping melodies and arrangements are quite simply beautiful. Newman's sloppy, soulful mumble and understated piano keep this great record from tumbling into drippy sentimentality. * * * * * - Rick Clark, The All-Music Guide to Rock, 1995. Good Old Boys, a rollicking concept album about the South, is celebrated for skewering redneck ignorance but 'Louisiana 1927,' 'A Wedding in Cherokee County' and 'Marie' garner their emotional clout from Randy Newman's sympathetic narrative eye. * * * * 1/2 - David Okamoto, Musichound Rock: The Essential Album Guide, 1996. Randy Newman draws on his roots in the blues and New Orleans boogie to uncork this blistering portrait of the American south. He shows that he was pop's most cutting satirist on 'Rednecks' -- a song that doesn't spare Northern or Southern racism; Newman said he still gets neervous playing it in some U.S. Good Old Boys was chosen as the 393rd greatest album of all time by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine in Dec. - Rolling Stone, 12/11/03. Even today, Randy Newman's Good Old Boys is an album you think twice about playing in civilized company. The title track is one of the most startling musical contributions to America's troubled history of race relations. Newman was riding high after the critical success of Sail Away when he watched Georgia governor and segregationist Lester Maddox being mocked by a Northern TV audience. Annoyed by what he saw as inverted snobbery, hypocrisy, and liberal smugness, Newman wrote a song about the incident from the perspective of a Southerner. 'Rednecks' was the result, a scathing indictment of, well, everything, which features a self-mocking singalong chorus 'We're rednecks/we're rednecks/we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground' and frequent use of the world 'nigger.' Realizing this would raise hackles, Newman intended to feature the song as part of a contextualizing concept album about a Southern man called 'Johnny Cutler's Birthday.' This never-released album came out in 2002, and included Newman's own original spoken preamble explaining each track to the producers. Although the rest never reaches the same level of provocation, it is a beautiful piece of work, possibly Newman's finest. 'Louisiana 1927' has a chorus that rolls off the tongue, 'Mr President' is a curious contribution to post-Watergate politics, and Newman approvingly describes 'Back On My Feet Again' as 'a genuinely strange song.' From here to Disney soundtrack? It seemed even more unlikely at the time. - Peter Watts, 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, 2005. Buying Options. The crown jewel in the first wave of Rhino's extensive Randy Newman reissue series is Good Old Boys -- which perhaps is appropriate, since it's arguably Newman's finest album. Then again, perhaps its status as the outstanding release in this wave was inevitable since unlike Sail Away -- an equally brilliant record -- Good Old Boys does have a full-fledged back story in the form of Johnny Cutler's Birthday, a rough draft Randy Newman wrote and recorded of the entire album. This is a find of monumental proportions, at least for Newman fans and scholars, because it not only is an embryonic incarnation of one of his greatest works, it has its own character and identity, especially since it has eight songs that did not make it to the final album. Since it captures Newman alone at the piano, providing narrative explanation between songs, this is a remarkably intimate document chronicling the birth of greatness -- and though you have to be dedicated to be interested in this, most Newman fans are dedicated; this is a wonderful listen, revealing and musically absorbing at the same time. It emphasizes the strength of Good Old Boys. Like David Wild says in his fine liner notes, the album is like a collection of short stories, and each of the new songs on Johnny Cutler's Birthday is a newly unearthed story, in the same spirit and sentiment as the original, yet fresh and unpredictable. It would be worth 20 dollars or more on its own, which is why it's such a delight to have it as a bonus disc here, coupled with a remastered version of this great album, along with liner notes from Wild and an introduction from Newman, as well as rare photos and replications of advertisements. Overall, it's a tremendous package. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine. This article needs additional citations for. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

Autodesk Softimage is a 3D animation application that contains tools for a wide range of production steps. R nModeling tools allow the generation of polygonal or NURBS models. Subdivision modeling requires no additional operators and works directly on the polygonal geometry. Each modeling operation is tracked by a construction history stack, which enables artists to work non-destructively. Operators in history stacks can be re-ordered, removed or changed at any time, and all adjustments propagate to the final model. R nControl rigs are created using bones with automatic IK, constraints and specialized solvers like spine or tail. Optionally, the ICE system can be used to create light-weight rigs in a node-based environment. The rigging process can be sped up through the use of adaptable biped and quadruped rigs, FaceRobot for facial rigs and automatic lip syncing. R nAnimation features include layers and a mixer, which allows combining animation clips non-linearly. Animation operators are tracked in a construction history stack that is separate from the modeling stack, enabling users to change the underlying geometry of already animated characters and objects. MOTOR is a feature that transfers animation between characters, regardless of their size or proportions. GATOR can transfer attributes such as textures, UVs, weight maps or envelopes between different models. Softimage also contains tools to simulate particles, particle strands, rigid body dynamics, soft body dynamics, cloth, hair and fluids. R nThe default and tightly integrated rendering engine in Softimage is mental ray. Materials and shaders are built in a node-based fashion. When users activate a so-called render region in a camera view, it will render this section of the scene using the specified rendering engine and update completely interactively. A secondary rendering mode is available for rendering real-time GPU shaders written in either the Cg or HLSL languages. R nAlso included is the FX Tree, which is a built-in node-based compositor that has direct access to image clips used in the scene. It can thus not only be used to finalize and composite rendered frames, but also as an integral part of scene creation. The FX Tree can be used to apply compositing effects to image clips being used in the fully rendered scene, allowing Softimage to render scenes using textures authored or modified in various ways within the same scene. R nIn addition to the node-based ICE platform described below, Softimage has an extensive API and scripting environment that can be used to extend the software. The available scripting languages include C#, Python, VBScript and JScript. A C++ SDK is also available for plug-in developers, with online documentation available to the public r n. |
