ePub Reader Software Jedisaber.com Original Content:Home | Books | eBooks | Other | Links | Fan Content: Andromeda | Avatars | Anime | Dark Angel | Matrix | Pern | Stargate | Star Trek | Star Wars Several different software programs either support or plan on supporting the ePub format. I've reviewed several different programs that both read and create ePub books. (Skip the explanation stuff and jump to the reviews) How each software program is scored: Each program is given it's own review section with the review, how I scored it, and the date the review was updated, as well as a link to download the program. I score the programs on several different criteria: ePub format support (0 - 9) TOC support (0 -10) Ease of use (0 - 10) Overall (0 - 10) To test ePub format support, I open ePub books from nine different sources (noted below). Why a separate score for TOC support? Ease of use is a somewhat subjective score. Update: 7/7/2010 New programs have been reviewed and old programs updated. Update: 12/08/2010 Pros:

Understanding Apollo During my recent visit to the US, I popped into the Adobe office in San Francisco to find out more about Apollo - the company's new RIA (Rich Internet Application) runtime and development platform. I sat down with Mike Chambers - Apollo Senior Product Manager, developer relations - to figure out what Apollo is all about and where it's headed in the future. Christian Cantrell, another Product Manager on the Apollo team, joined us midway through to show me some of the newest Apollo apps. In this post, I summarize that meeting - but also I aim to give a kind of 'Apollo for Dummies' overview (because until that meeting I was one of those dummies!). Mike started off by explaining to me that Apollo aims to bring web apps to the desktop, in contrast to Microsoft's WPF which comes from the desktop to the Web (it's worth noting though that Mike doesn't believe Apollo competes with WPF). Apollo in layman's terms Adobe Media Player Examples of early Apollo apps Conclusion
Tabbed-panels: what about usability and accessibility? This article is about understanding what's involved with such gimmicks: semantics, separation of layers, progressive enhancement, keyboard navigation, etc. For the purpose of this article, I've created four test pages: Page 1 contains the Spry tabbed panels widget ("out-of-the-box"), Page 2 is the same as above, but includes minor fixes, Page 3 "displays" the same tabbed panels, but it is built with "best practice" in mind, Page 4 is a variation of page 3, it keeps everything in the flow. Each page contains two sets of links to let you: test the page without CSS and/or JS support files. navigate from one page to another. To demonstrate the role that the markup plays when it comes to tabbing navigation (keyboard navigation), I've placed a link within the content for the second tab. Out-of-the-box Spry Tabbed-Panels (v1.4) This is the markup: We have a wrapper in which we find a list and another wrapper that includes a bunch of DIVs; and every opening tag in there has at least one attribute.
C.B.R. : Comic Book Reader Topic on Self-Determination for Postsecondary Students: Frequently Asked Questions Self-Determination for Postsecondary Students What is self-determination? Many researchers have defined the concept of self-determination. This Web topic will use the definition developed by Martin and Huber Marshall (1995). They define self-determination as consisting of seven components: Self-awareness is the ability to identify and understand one’s needs, interests, strengths, limitations, and values. Why is self-determination important for students with disabilities in postsecondary education? Self-determination is a critical skill for success of students with disabilities in postsecondary education, because after high school graduation they are no longer entitled to the services detailed in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004. The elements of self-determination described above are key to achieving goals. What is the relationship between self-determination and locus of control? A critical factor related to self-determination is locus of control. Other topics:
Creative Cloud outage: Adobe ID login failures mean Daily Mail’s digital edition couldn’t be published After being hit by an extended outage yesterday, Adobe’s login system is working again and customers are able to use their Adobe IDs to access the Creative Cloud and other services. For creative customers, being locked out proved frustrating – though workarounds were quick to appear for many issues – but for publishers using Adobe DPS (Digital Publishing System), it was even worse. We’ve heard from companies who were unable to publish their titles while the outage was happening, where the biggest impact was on daily titles such as the Daily Mail’s Mail Plus interactive newspaper, which couldn't publish yesterday – so the title has almost certainly lost much of a day’s advertising revenue. And it appears from the Mail Plus’s Twitter feed that there are continuing problems today.
Bill Weinman Unit One Sections in this unit: YOU TRY IT--Your Last Test YOU TRY IT--Causes of Your Anxiety Have you ever had any of these types of reactions? "I felt I was ready for the test, but when it started my mind just went blank." "Before the test started I felt sick. "I kept thinking to myself what would happen if I did poorly on this test, I just knew it would be awful because I was going to fail again." "I thought I did just fine, but when the grade came back it was a 'D', I don't know what happened." "I am always feeling under pressure, my life is just too hectic." If you have signed up to take a test anxiety reduction program you know already about the above kinds of thoughts and feelings. Anxiety is a very complex human reaction that has both physical and mental elements to it. Anxiety reactions can be very powerful and to understand that intensity we can look at our body's natural arousal systems. Sympathetic. Parasympatheic. Our heart starts to beat rapidly, and the blood pressure goes up. YOU TRY IT!
Two Variable Lookups Tomkat is trying to cap mileage paid based on production. The mileage cap varies based on production and site. Read this newsgroup post for details if you like. This newsgroup post is where it all started. This calls for a VLOOKUP/MATCH combo if I ever saw it. The formula in E15 (and filled down column E) is MATCH: The MATCH function returns the column that matches the site entered. VLOOKUP: The left-most column of the mileage cap table is filled with the lowest number of the appropriate range of numbers. MIN: The whole thing is wrapped in a MIN because it’s a cap. I hope that helps Tomkat.
