New Details Emerge for White Castle Headquarters Project
Renderings via Architectural Alliance / POD Design.
Representatives from White Castle and Elford Development presented their plans for the 18-acre redevelopment of the White Castle headquarters property today to the Downtown Commission. The presentation included a first look at a visual renderings of the project, which would include residential and office buildings, greenspaces and parking structures on the site if built out as planned.
“We have been working for about a year now on this and we’re excited to reveal the master plan,” stated Brad Parish, President of Architectural Alliance. “It’s critical to activate this site, because while it’s remote from Downtown, it also has a great view of Downtown.”
Parish walked the Commission through the master plan, describing the function and flow of the office and residential buildings, and explaining the programming of the green spaces on the site. A larger park near the White Castle headquarters could double as an event space with amphitheater-style seating, and a boulevard-style park would connect pedestrians to an overlook of the Olentangy River on the west side of the site.
“The river is highly valuable… it’s not the back side of this site, it’s the sweet spot,” countered Downtown Commissioner Mike Brown. “I suggest you go bigger with residential there if you can, because the demand is there and market will support it. I’d hate to see something built there that is so suburban with so much asphalt.”
Commissioner Jana Maniace agreed, noting that from the aerial view, it appears that there is too much asphalt and parking on the site.
“You have these beautiful areas for parks,” she stated. “I want you to think about consolidating some parking and accentuate the green spaces you’re creating.”
In addition to green spaces, Parish noted that both the White Castle office building and its amenity building would have rooftop decks that would look over I-670 into Downtown.
The plan was only given conceptual review today, and the developers are expected to return to the Commission in the future for further review and/or approval.
Stay tuned to CU for additional updates on this proposal.

T The Gorby Congressmanz Banned May 3, 2021 #1 The picture below is pretty self-explanatory Despite the bad launch and many issues, some of which still persist today, and a mixed reception outside hardcore FGC enthusiasts, after a long sales slump SFV has completely turned around and now has sold 5.2 million units worldwide. However, as close as it is to dethroning Capcoms number one best selling fighting game, the classic Street Fighter 2 on SNES, it's has already come out with multiple editions and has been cheap with numerous deals. Without a Xbox version, is it possible for Street Fighter V to cover the 1.2 million unit gap and surpass Street Fighter 2 as Capcoms number one selling fighting game of all time?????? I've looked at the market and the prices and the current trends, and while I think SFV has very little change of getting the job done. I seen an LTD of 5.5-5.7 million with some pre-discontinuation fire sales. Maybe Street Fighter 6 with a better launch and a brand refresh may be able to pull it off given how SFV managed to surpass pretty much all of Capcoms other more better received and less broken fighters. It may be a bounce effect from the last two MK games spreading to other fighters (Tekken 7 is even more broken yet sold 7 million) but who knows what got SFV this far. Also for fun, here is Capcoms top 5 best selling fighting games Street Fighter 2 - 6.3 million Street Fighter V - 5.2 million Street Fighter II Turbo - 4.1 million Street Fighter 4 3.4 million Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 - 2.2 million Last edited: May 3, 2021 DeepEnigma Gold Member May 3, 2021 #2 ethomaz Banned May 3, 2021 #3 Yes, I believe it can. EVO can help if it back with success.

So the userbase (these that ended doing the triple or quad dips were very small... the last SKU sold like 1 million units I believe.

Still, as of June 30, 2019 - SFIV Vanilla sold 3.4m copies (more than Marvel 3). The list that OP posted is not correct. If you grab all versions of SFIV, it will jump to 9m.

Nothing is gonna give that game a 1m+ sales boost. Even people who only have a passing interest in the game probably own it already at this point. There won't be any more content after the current batch of characters is released, and the effect of events like Evo was never big enough to push sales to that degree, even before the pandemic. And of course once SF6 gets announced in a year or two SF5 is gonna be dead in the water anyway.

First off that's cheating, but even then 3.4 +1.9 +1.5 is not 9 million. That's 6.8 million. I think that the SFV approach will serve Capcom better in the future than releasing 50 new versions at retail. Camreezie Member May 3, 2021 #16 It's also been on ps plus so sales on that platform will be limited. Javthusiast Banned May 3, 2021 #17 Damn, can‘t believe Tekken 7 sold more than 7 mill already, thus being more popluar than the best selling SF title? SkylineRKR Member May 3, 2021 #18 Javthusiast said: Damn, can‘t believe Tekken 7 sold more than 7 mill already, thus being more popluar than the best selling SF title? Click to expand... Yeah but Tekken 7 is being sold on multiple platforms and is kept updated for 4 years straight now. World Warrior was mighty impressive in that it was an exclusive, and Turbo came out a year afterward and was ofcourse a separate release rendering WW useless. Turbo might've been a season pass update today, but sold 4 million copies at full price.

Click to expand... I mean you can say that for Tekken 3, and Tekken 5(maybe) as well. Tekken 7 would be the 2nd time they did it (or third) same as Mortal Kombat. Tekken 7 had issues just like SFV though, the difference is Tekken didn't have the launch, and arguably has the bigger brand name to support it. E e&e Banned May 3, 2021 #20 I’m confused, how can it beat SF2? I find it hard to believe SF2 only sold 6 million. And SF4 only sold 3 million????

You do realize that the other games are...other games right? Super Street Fighter IV isn't Vanilla Street Fighter IV, it's a different game. Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter two turbo, and Super Street Fighter 2 are three different releases. Even Capcom separates the releases. Also considering the screenshot is directly from Capcoms website I don't see the controversy. Jebron Member May 3, 2021 #22 Krizalidx11 said: Only if they enable 120fps Click to expand...

Reactions: Krizalidx11 S Spacefish Member May 3, 2021 #23 this is kind of a pointless comparison since SFV had only 1 version they continuously updated whereas all prior games were broken up into separate releases.

A US Navy strike group will be moving towards the western Pacific Ocean near the Korean peninsula, a US official told Reuters on Saturday.
The moves comes as concerns grow about North Korea's advancing weapons program. Earlier this month North Korea tested a liquid-fueled Scud missile which only travelled a fraction of its range.
The Carl Vinson strike group, which includes an aircraft carrier, will make its way from Singapore towards the Korean peninsula, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"We feel the increased presence is necessary," the official said, citing North Korea's worrisome behaviour.
This year North Korean officials, including leader Kim Jong Un, have repeatedly indicated an intercontinental ballistic missile test or something similar could be coming, possibly as soon as April 15, the 105th birthday of North Korea's founding president and celebrated annually as "the Day of the Sun." | positive |
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans
Released in November 1994 | PC / Mac Game
For ages, the fallen titan Sargeras plotted to scour all life from Azeroth. To this end, Sargeras possessed the human sorcerer Medivh and compelled him to contact Gul'dan, an orc warlock on the world of Draenor. There, Sargeras' demonic servants among the Burning Legion worked to corrupt the once - peaceful orcs and forge them into a bloodthirsty army known as the Horde. This cursed force invaded Azeroth through the Dark Portal, a dimensional gateway created by Medivh and Gul'dan, and clashed with the human nation of Stormwind. Aided by the half-orc Garona, human champions like Anduin Lothar fought valiantly to protect their kingdom. Yet, in the end, the mighty Horde shattered Stormwind's defenses. Amid the city's tragic fall, Garona betrayed her allies and assassinated King Llane Wrynn, sealing the nation's defeat.

A majority of Americans waste more food than they are aware of -- $162 billion worth of it each year -- according to a new study from Johns Hopkins University. And most are unconcerned about the environmental impact of wasted food, the study also found.
The report, published Wednesday in the journal PLOS ONE, stated that the top foods wasted, by weight, are fruits and vegetables, which are the most vulnerable because of their perishability and bulk. And according to the researchers, between 30 percent and 40 percent of all the food supplied in the U.S. is wasted -- and most of it is thrown out by households, restaurants and stores.
"Americans perceive themselves as wasting very little food, but in reality, we are wasting substantial quantities," Roni Neff, lead author of the study and director of the Food System Sustainability and Public Health Program at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said in a press release. "It happens throughout the food chain, including both a lot of waste by consumers, and a lot on our behalf, when businesses think we won't buy imperfect food. The root causes are complex," he added.
The study surveyed 1,010 Americans in April 2014 and the researchers focused on awareness, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of the participants related to wasted food. The study team also found that only 10 percent of those surveyed termed the impact of wasted food on the environment as “very important,” despite general concerns about the issue.
The researchers also studied the practice of composting food and found that 41 percent of those surveyed did not bother about the amount of food that was wasted. Overall, the study showed that 75 percent of the respondents believed they wasted less food than the national average.
According to the survey, food safety and a desire to consume only the freshest produce were listed as the main reasons for people throwing away fruit and vegetables. The amount of food wasted places a huge drain on the environment when approximately 30 percent of fertilizers, 35 percent of fresh water and 31 percent of cropland in the country were used to cultivate the food that was ultimately trashed, researchers noted in the study.
The findings, according to the study's authors, are relevant for educators working to reduce food wastage; policymakers looking to regulate the food industry with laws to ensure honest labeling and packaging; and businesses looking to understand consumers' changing needs.
"Consumer waste of food in the U.S. represents a powerful quintuple threat," Neff said, in the release. "Reducing it may improve food security, nutrition, budgets, environment and public health." | positive |

A $20.8 million upgrade on James E. Roberts Memorial Bridge over an arm of Lake Don Pedro on Highway 120 is scheduled to begin in mid-July with completion hoped for before Thanksgiving 2017, a Caltrans District 10 spokesman said Wednesday.
Caltrans is still finalizing plans for detours and night-time closures for the project, which will impact the critical paved route for locals and visitors between Sonora, Groveland and Yosemite National Park.
A public information meeting is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. May 24 at Groveland Community Hall, 18720 Highway 120.
The 46-year-old bridge is considered safe, Rick Estrada of Caltrans District 10 said. The upgrade includes replacing the bridge deck and retrofitting the entire structure for earthquake safety. The project is expected to provide an additional 40 years of service life for the bridge.
James E. Roberts Memorial Bridge was built in 1970 and opened in 1971, the same year New Don Pedro Dam was completed and Lake Don Pedro was expanded to submerge more than 25 miles of the Tuolumne River when full.
It was named the Tuolumne River Bridge and then renamed in 2007 in honor of a deceased bridge engineer who was considered a leader in seismic retrofitting.
The bridge is 1,400 feet long and it spans a former section of the Tuolumne River that is flooded out by Lake Don Pedro.
“So many people up there use this bridge,” Estrada said. “We know local people and visitors want to know about these plans.”
The bridge is also on one of the most popular routes for 4 million people who visit Yosemite National Park each year, Estrada said.
“This bridge has a lot of economic impact in the area,” Estrada said.
Caltrans has been planning to upgrade the bridge for years. It was first approved in April 2012. In October last year, start of construction was pushed back from December 2015 to September 2016 or October 2016, according to Caltrans District 10 Project Manager Sam Sherman.
“We essentially ran out of time for doing it this winter,” Sherman told The Union Democrat in October.
The $20.8 million budgeted for the project is expected to pay for replacing the entire bridge deck, new bridge rails, retrofitting the structure to make it stronger and to improve its ability to withstand an earthquake, Estrada said.
“It’s a 46-year-old bridge, so we’re going in, fixing it up and modernizing it and making improvements,” Estrada said.
Work on the project is expected to begin after the July 4 holiday. July 4, 2016, is a Monday. The project is scheduled to be completed prior to the Thanksgiving holiday in 2017, Estrada said.

“Social media was lauded for the Arab Spring. Even back then you will find quotes from me saying ‘that’s ludicrous, Twitter and Facebook don’t overthrow governments, people do,’ and celebrating those tools is kind of like celebrating church meetings, and mailing lists during the civil rights movement, or whatever, I guess phone trees would have been the dominant technology for spreading the word and mobilizing people? Those things absolutely enable, they absolutely amplify it, but they aren’t the reason why they happen.
I think what social media did do was it gave the American public a very strong signal that wasn’t necessarily paid attention to. And that’s the really glaring thing for me. I would like to think that a big part of what Reddit can do going forward is taking advantage of the fact that this is the one platform where you have a quarter of a billion people every month who come together in their communities, around common interests. It’s basically a digital town square, a digital dinner table conversation, that actually represents the zeitgeist of some 40 or 50 thousand communities.” | positive |

Clinton Neal Walker, 35, of Bradenton, was fired a year ago after an internal investigation concluded he had “unwavering loyalty” to the Outlaws, long considered the state’s dominant motorcycle gang. He was the first Hillsborough employee to be investigated for gang activity under a series of county ordinances that prohibit membership in any organization the state or federal government considers criminal, including the Outlaws St. Petersburg Chapter where Walker was a member. Arbitrator Charlotte Gold released her ruling in mid-January, ending a year-long fight by the local chapter of the International Association of Fire Fighters to save Walker’s job. Her report provided new insight into biker gang culture within the county’s fire department and throughout the Tampa Bay area. “HCFR employees, including chiefs and a fire medic, attended MC (motorcycle club) events,” Gold wrote, and “many of its members were ex-military.” Walker earned a Bronze Star, among other medals and awards, while in the U.S. Marine Corps. And as a county firefighter he was awarded a Medal of Valor. But Walker also had a long disciplinary history and “conducted himself in a manner that was detrimental to the department,” Gold wrote. “The conclusion is inescapable that he affected the county’s standing in the community,’’ Gold wrote in her report. “His behavior ultimately reflected poorly on the county and his profession in general.” Walker testified he had resigned from the Outlaws in October 2016, before the county issued a directive prohibiting all employees from “being a member of or voluntarily participating with any outside gang, as defined in the FBI’s 2015 National Gang Report.” The ban came two months after Walker was arrested in Key West for throwing the first punch in a bar fight that left two employees injured and involved as many as 15 other Outlaws, one wearing a T-shirt with a swastika on it and others who used racial slurs. Walker ultimately negotiated a plea deal for the Key West fight and received a paid suspension from the county for 30 days. He was still serving that suspension when now-retired Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Captain James Costa, then president of the Outlaw’s St. Petersburg chapter, was shot by members of the rival 69ers Motorcycle Club while riding his motorcycle in south Hillsborough in July 2017. According to the report, Costa fired back. The shooting has since been tied to the shooting death of another Outlaw, Paul Anderson, in December 2017. Walker was one of about 10 Outlaws who got a call from Costa and another Hillsborough County Fire Rescue medic telling them that Costa was being taken to a medical center in Manatee County with bullet wounds. Though he wasn’t on duty, Walker dressed in his Fire Rescue uniform and accompanied Costa into the hospital, taking his motorcycle vest with Outlaw insignia and initially refusing to turn it over to law enforcement. “By wearing his HCFR t-shirt at the hospital, he gained favor for himself in violation of the county’s uniform regulations,” Gold wrote in her report. “He then proceeded to place the interests of a friend and mentor — an individual who continued a strong relationship with a motorcycle gang — over and above those of law enforcement.” According to the report, Fire Rescue management has known about both Walker and Costa’s membership in the Outlaws since about 2008. Costa joined the Outlaws in 2002, and recruited Walker while working as his supervisor in Sun City Center’s Fire Station 28. The new rules, and the ensuing investigation into Walker’s conduct, happened as a wave of bar brawls, bad behavior and execution-style killings between rival biker gangs swept across the Tampa Bay area, implicating firefighters in Hillsborough, Polk and Pasco counties. James William Earl, 32, became the latest victim when he was gunned down in the driveway of his Spring Hill home on Jan. 16. Investigators say it’s unclear if Earl’s death was connected to his membership in the Pagan Motorcycle Club. The following week, FBI agents raided the nearby home of Glen Buzze, a “Pagan” who works as a paramedic for Pasco County Fire Rescue and held the rank of captain. https://www.firehouse.com/careers-education/news/21060107/arbitrator-firing-of-hillsborough-county-fl-medic-in-motorcycle-gang-ok Posted by ace on Wednesday 06 February 2019 - 16:55:22 Read/Post Comment: 0 You must be logged in to make comments on this site - please log in, or if you are not registered click here to signup Search White Trash Networks Latest Comments [news] (USA) Former ATF undercover biker Jay Dobyns, who infiltrated Hells Angels, speaks in El Paso Posted by HellGato on 18 Jun : 19:20 Fucking piece of shit.. fake stolen patc [ more ... ] [news] (USA) Twin Peaks biker named in three-count superseding indictment Posted by HellGato on 02 Jul : 00:15 This over reach by homicidal LEOS in WA [ more ... ] [news] (USA) Vagos case court filing in Las Vegas reports bombing threats Posted by HellGato on 02 Jul : 00:05 Sounds like some bullshit to me..

Almost one in five Americans say they did not have enough money for food in the past year
WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Gallup surveys in China and the U.S. reveal Chinese are struggling less than Americans to put food on their tables. Six percent of Chinese in 2011 say there have been times in the past 12 months when they did not have enough money to buy food that they or their family needed, down significantly from 16% in 2008. Over the same period, the percentage of Americans saying they did not have money for food in the previous 12 months more than doubled from 9% in 2008 to 19% in 2011.
Chinese are also struggling less to afford adequate shelter. Sixteen percent of Chinese say in 2011 there have been times in the past 12 months when they did not have enough money to provide adequate shelter or housing for themselves and their families. This marks considerable progress since 2008, when 21% of Chinese had trouble providing shelter.
Fewer Americans are struggling with housing costs than Chinese, but the number of Americans who are struggling is increasing. Eleven percent of Americans say there have been times in the past 12 months when they could not afford adequate housing, up from 5% in 2008.
Bottom Line
Since the financial crisis began in 2008, more Americans have struggled to buy the food and shelter they and their families need. In China, on the other hand, fewer are struggling despite a slight slowdown in the country's economic growth.
Key behavioral metrics such as having enough food and adequate shelter are important for leaders to track, Gallup Chairman Jim Clifton writes in his new book, The Coming Jobs War, "not only because they occur before job and GDP growth … but also because without these basic requirements, the populace doesn't have the energy to solve its everyday problems."
Survey Methods
Results are based on telephone and face-to-face interviews with approximately 4,100 adults in China and approximately 1,000 adults in the U.S., aged 15 and older, conducted each year from 2007 to 2011. For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error ranged from ±2.1 to ±4.1 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
For complete methodology and specific survey dates, please review Gallup's Country Data Set details.

Stanley Russell McCandless (May 9, 1897 – August 4, 1967) is considered to be the father of modern lighting design. He paved the way for future lighting designers by playing a role in all aspects of theatrical lighting, from the engineering of lighting instruments to consultant work, and designing realized theatrical productions.
Biography [ edit ]
McCandless was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Dr. Charles Russell McCandless (1862-1924) and Mary Eliza (Sisson) McCandless (1865-1942). After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1920, he received a degree in architecture from Harvard College in 1923. Work as an architect eventually led him to the career of theatrical lighting consultant. McCandless and his Harvard acquaintance George Pierce Baker, served as some of the first faculty to teach at the Yale School of Drama. The method of lighting the stage McCandless outlined in A Method of Lighting the Stage, known today as the McCandless Method, is still in wide use today.[1]
Educator [ edit ]
During his time at Yale, McCandless published some of the first books to lay out a method and approach to the art of lighting design. In his book A Method of Lighting the Stage (1932), McCandless details his method of lighting design which is based on the idea of breaking the stage down into uniform acting areas and manipulating light in terms of intensity, color, distribution, and control.[2][3] In the earlier text Syllabus of Stage Lighting (1927), McCandless also outlines his views on the functions of light in the theatre. These functions are broken down into visibility, locale, composition, and mood.[4] Approaching light in this way allows the designer to address the practical aspects of lighting, as well as giving due attention to the more emotional side of the art. These books and others, including A Glossary of Stage Lighting (1926), were born from McCandless’ lectures at Yale, where he taught some of the early greats in the field including Jean Rosenthal and Tharon Musser.[5][6] McCandless was also one of the first professors to outline the historical development of lighting design. His books are not only practical guides to the art, but they give designers a sense of their legacy and heritage.[7]
Innovator [ edit ]
Like many lighting designers to follow, Stanley McCandless was not only interested in the artistic side of lighting design, but he also contributed to the technical aspect of the art as well. In his early work as a theatrical consultant, McCandless designed specific house lights for the Center Theatre in New York’s Radio City. These fixtures incorporated the use of ellipsoidal shaped reflectors, which were later developed into the ellipsoidal reflector spotlight. This lighting fixture has become the staple for theatre lighting inventories in America due to its ability to shape light with shutters and gobos or templates.
Stanley McCandless continued to educate and design until he retired from teaching in 1964. His legacy is still felt by many lighting designers today, as his method and approach to the art are still the backbone of many educational theatre programs.[1]
McCandless method [ edit ]
The McCandless method is a particular approach to providing stage lighting, first proposed in his book, A Method of Lighting the Stage, which has been through several editions. The McCandless method is still in wide use today.[1]
In the McCandless method, the actors are meant to be fully front lit but also provided with some "sculpting" of the features. Full lighting is provided by at least two lights from opposite sides, above the plane of the actors by about 45 degrees and approximately 90 degrees apart. These two lights come in from opposite directions. Top lighting may also be used for fill, as may limited footlights. McCandless described these angles as being the diagonals of a cube in the center of the acting area.[2]
However, the key to the McCandless method is that one light of the primary pair is "cool" relative to the other. One may be blue (a cool color, i.e. higher kelvin temperature) and the other amber (a warm color, i.e. lower kelvin temperature). Thus, one fills the shadows left by the other in a way that produces a degree of depth which is striking and recognizable on the stage, similar to stage makeup in the way it exaggerates and clarifies the actors' faces.
This method of pairing a warm lantern with a cool lantern simulates sunrise in an outdoor environment, as in real life, giving the production a naturalistic (notion of realism on stage invented by Constantin Stanislavski) feel, thereby producing intimacy of the play with the audience. This coupled with the depth created, enhances the facial features of the actors, enabling them to convey emotion more effectively than before.
This comparison of warm and cool also enables the lighting designer to shift the balance of the warm and cool lanterns in accordance of what time of day it is. For example, if a scene was set in the middle of the day, the warm and cool lanterns would be equally bright, so the shadows created would be filled equally by warm and cool light, giving the actor's face a balanced look similar to that of standing outside in the middle of the day. However, as it becomes later in the day, the cool lantern would become brighter than the warm lantern, so the light upon the actors face becomes cooler overall, suggesting to the audience that the time has shifted into the evening, without any mention of time in the scene itself.
To be totally realistic in this representation of daylight, four lanterns should be used to cover one area of the stage, in two pairs at 45 degree angles, so on each side of the actor's face both a warm and a cool light would be present. This would enable the lighting designer at midday to switch the warm light from one side of the actors face to the other, simulating the sun passing overhead in real life, enhancing the realism. Alternatively, this effect can be achieved with two lanterns equipped with scrollers (a device which fits on the end of the lantern capable of holding different colour gels and switching them during the performance) each containing a warm and a cool gel. However, scrollers are renowned for breaking unexpectedly in the middle of shows, and therefore in a best case scenario two lanterns from each side should be used. Having said this, smaller theatres with fewer resources use this method to great success with only two lanterns per area of the stage.
Stanley McCandless began devising this system while at Harvard College. He fully developed it following his move to Yale University, which was then near the center of American theatre, in part because many producers of Broadway-bound shows staged opening runs at New Haven's Shubert Theatre in order to assess their wider potential. | positive |

Kapil Mishra
The relentless efforts of Mr. Kapil Mishra, the sacked cabinet minister from AAP government in Delhi to expose the double game and fooling the people who have voted the party to power has been well received by the youth all over India. Indeed Kapil Mishra has received an encouraging support from the youth. The relentless efforts of Mr. Kapil Mishra, the sacked cabinet minister from AAP government in Delhi to expose the double game and fooling the people who have voted the party to power has been well received by the youth all over India. Indeed Kapil Mishra has received an encouraging support from the youth.
Kapil Mishra is well trained by none other than the self designated Mr. Clean – Arvind kejriwal for all good reasons. Mr. Clean was known for leveling below the belt allegations against several political leaders like Modiji, Jaitley, Gadhkiri etc., whom the people of India respect and revere due to their impeccable integrity and leadership vision. Today the protégé of the so called Mr. Clean in Indian politics is doing the same what his mentor has been doing for a while on others but with good reasons. Kapil Mishra has facts and proofs for his noble mission.
It seems Mr. Clean has given broom to Mr Mishra to clean the house of other political parties but Mr. Mishra choose to clean his own party first because AAP is the most dirtiest political party in India according to Mr. Mishra. Mr. Mishra is inspired by the famous proverb “charity begins at home”.
The youths of Delhi have started to see Mr. Mishra as future and promise of Delhi and the writings on the wall for AAP has started to appear clear that the days of Mr. Clean is over in Indian polities so is his gambit and gamble. Soon he along with his handful sycophants would reduce like a rotten bunch of bananas.
Many political parties in the distant past thought AAP as ‘a little storm in tea cup’ when AAP tries to enter into Indian politics (although today AAP itself has reduced to the same level) were shocked later. Ironically the same AAP is treating Mishra as nothing but a road of smoke and hence can be ignored. But soon AAP is going to bite the humble pie for doing great injustice to the people who elected them.
Mr. Mishra must continue his mission. It is good if other political parties render support to Mr. Mishra to weed out AAP from Indian politics. The problems of people of Delhi are forgotten by AAP and instead they are busy turning different pages of dirty politics to how to engage in mudslinging and preaching politics. Congregation of a few self centered, selfish people can at best give tall promise but cannot give good governance which is free of corruption and nepotism is the truth the exposes of Mr. Mishra conveys to people of India. The wise Indians will not fall again to APP.
To corrupt the system, one may easily get great support from many but to clean the politics, one has to fight it all alone, that is why today Mr. Mishra is waging a lone battle.
Modiji is also waging a war against all the corrupt politicians and that is why the syndicate of corrupts decry and defame Modiji in every possible way. But people are with Modiji because the country has understood the true mission of Modiji.
When Modiji tries to build corruption mukth new India, let Mr Mishra rebuild a new AAP mukth Delhi.

Celebrity News April 2, 2022 By Special Contributor 21 min. read Posted on April 1, 2022 at 10:48 am Kathy Hilton has confirmed that she stirred up “a little bit” of drama while filming the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Kathy ended Season 11 as a solid fan favorite but her return for Season 12 stalled, allegedly due to a contract negotiation. Rumors swirled after she jumped back into filming with the cast, with some reports claiming that she was not on good terms with co-star, Erika Jayne. Kathy landed in a “friend” role for Season 12 but hinted that she made the most of her part-time spot while speaking to an ET reporter on Oscar Sunday. The reporter asked if she instigated any drama during filming season. “A little bit, a little bit,” Kathy replied. “You have to wait and see.” The Bravo sophomore was asked to dish more about Season 12. “I think it’s going to be great,” Kathy said. “We have a great time together, and when you’re spending so much time together, you’re bound to have a little… a little drama.” Kathy initially answered “yes” when asked if she was on “speaking terms” with her co-stars, but then changed her answer. “Well I don’t know, there might be one I’m not,” she confessed. Kathy confirmed that she would “of course” come back for another season, but her husband, Rick Hilton, added that he would remain out of the picture. When asked if he had any interest in filming the show, he flatly responded—“no.” “Never. He would never, ever,” Kathy agreed. The reporter added that Rick once commented that he’d sign on to RHOBH “in [her] dreams.” Kathy made headlines earlier this year after she decided to skip the finale event due to a previous commitment in Palm Beach. Photos later surfaced of Kathy attending a Super Bowl party hosted by former President Donald Trump. Kathy’s co-star, Lisa Rinna, took to her Instagram Stories to expose Kathy Hilton’s political affiliation—to seemingly paint her in a negative light amongst Trump-hating fans. Lisa captioned a photo of Kathy at the Super Bowl party, “Oh that’s where she was!!!!!!” Kathy’s manager told Radar Online that her client was in Palm Beach to spend time with a grieving friend and to host a charity event with her daughter, Nicky. “Kathy did not refuse to film,” her manager told the outlet. Her rep added—“…this was all planned way in advance. Production was always aware of the schedule.” Rinna’s feud with Kathy began during a reportedly chaotic cast trip to Aspen, Colorado. Per a Radar Online report—Kathy purportedly was mistreated by an employee during a visit to the Caribou Club—a prestigious, members-only lounge that she had visited over the years. She requested a particular song from the DJ, who allegedly told her to “go back to L.A.” The comment reportedly sent Kathy over the edge, sparking a heated exchange. According to the outlet’s source, Kathy yelled “white privilege” and made other shocking statements. Her reps denied the allegations. “Everything that’s being brought up is a lie and being refuted. Kathy did not say it. It’s been squashed and keeps resurfacing,” her manager said. Erika claimed that she overheard Kathy using profanity and dished her story to Lisa Rinna. Rinna backed Erika’s allegation. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is expected to premiere later this year.

Poster for Amnesty International (1982) - Roland Topor image sourced here. Definition A poster is any large piece of paper which hangs from a wall or other such surface. They are a frequent tool of advertisers, propagandists, protestors and other groups trying to communicate a message, and they also see personal use by people, especially the young, who wish to decorate in a relatively low-cost manner. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poster [Feb 2005] Vintage poster art Poster art over the years has been used to communicate through advertisements and to illustrate important events. The poster been used to make fine art reproductions available to more people at lower prices. During the nineteen century some important turning points occurred in the creation of the era of the modern poster. The first was the industrial revolution which led to the need for large scale advertising. The second was the development of a printing method known as lithography. Color lithography was developed in France by Jules Cheret in 1860 and would lead to the creation of the poster industry and to the golden age of vintage poster art by the 1890's. The lithographic process made it possible to create beautifully colored prints quickly and for a lower price. Until this time the posters that existed lacked artistic value. Cheret had developed a theatrical style that represented the Rococo Revival. Looking at vintage poster art over the years illustrates the changes and improvements made to the poster. The poster industry was helped along by the introduction of a law in 1881 requiring offical posting places. People wanting to put up posters had to pay a tax based on the square footage of the posters. Since posters were seen as an effective method of advertising the advertisers of the day worked with artists and printers to create and post posters on the streets of Paris. So much of vintage poster art provides examples of this type of advertising. The 1890’s have been considered to be the golden age of vintage poster art. All the great artists of Paris helped to create a poster art craze during this time. One of the earliest examples of posters as fine art is Toulouse-Lautrec’s Moulin Rouge (1891) which was at least partially inspired by Japanese woodblock printing. --http://www.fine-arts-prints.net/vintageposterart.htm your Amazon recommendations - Jahsonic - early adopter products Managed Hosting by NG Communications | negative |
I recently get the mobile data services on my z10 by entering into escreen:// and made PS attach. But I always have to enter escreen and press PS attach whenever I restart my z10 or power on-off. As everybody know escreen\diagnostic maximum validity is one month. So if I restart or power off and switch on my z10 after this valid period, I will need a PC with internet connection. As I had an such experience on Bangkok airport, DTAC staff also didn't know how to get mobile data on my z10. I have known what must I do for data services. I didn't have enough time to let him know and to configure. So I had to go my office and had to try to get data only after arriving office. I couldn't use internet with my z10 on the way to my office to airport. So bad. Because I can't never use Blackberry world app in my country, Myanmar. So I very aggressively want to open this app and want to download many apps and games what I want once it can get data on my Z10 before starting the work. Let me finalized my post :
1. If anyone knows how to fix this PS attach in "Yes" mode all the time even after restarting, please kindly advise me.
2. If someone has other way, pls let me know.
Thanks.,

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Playing high-profile video games quickly from portable devices such as your iPad might get easier after this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
While the E-3 "game changer" tag has been reserved largely for innovations such as 3-D and motion-sensor systems, several companies hope using cloud computing to store games will be the real shift by letting gamers play high-end titles anywhere, on almost any machine.
If fully realized, they say, cloud gaming could be a console killer.
Gaming company OnLive announced Tuesday that it will make 23 popular console games, including "Assassin's Creed II," "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Mass Effect 2," available through an online subscription service.
"Today we're taking the first step toward a future where video game content is increasingly free from the restrictions of device and location, while showcasing the ability to instantly play the latest, most advanced games at the touch of a button," said OnLive founder and CEO Steve Perlman.
Cloud gaming uses rapid data compression to let users store their games "in the cloud" -- on Web servers -- and then pull them down and play them using a regular Web browser. It's the same concept as storing photos on a site such as Flickr or music videos on a MySpace page.
The user doesn't actually have those files on any one particular computer but can access them from anywhere.
OnLive has partnerships with gaming companies such as Electronic Arts, UbiSoft and Warner Bros. Interactive and announced several new ones, including Sega, on Tuesday. More titles were expected to be available as they are released.
OnLive's service, which launches Thursday, will offer free subscription for a year. OnLive has not announced what fees will be beyond that, but a spokesperson said Wednesday they will be "much less" than $15 a month.
OnLive isn't the only one in the cloud-gaming business though. Rival Gaikai announced this year it had raised $10 million for a streaming game service that will let users sample games before buying them.
"[W]e host the games, we run them, we worry about hardware and software updates, and we stream them to you," Gaikai said on its website. "The only thing you need is a browser and an internet connection."
Also at E3, Sony announced PlayStation Plus, an online subscription service that expands its PlayStation Network.
Launching on June 29, the pay service will offer gamers a chance to play exclusive and preview versions of top games, ramping up Sony's bid to compete with the Xbox Live network from Microsoft.
A 90-day subscription to the service will cost $17.99 and will go for about $50 a year.
And billionaire Sir Richard Branson made the space even more interesting Tuesday with the rollout of Virgin Gaming -- an online home for competitive console gamers.
The subscription site will host top-line games that gamers would typically buy for themselves.
"With Virgin Gaming, we're offering members more than just a place to compete. We're offering them the best, safest and most secure online experience with the fresh, fun approach Virgin is known for," said Rob Segal, CEO of Virgin Gaming.
In his typical, bigger-than-life style, Branson pulled up at E3 in an armored car purportedly carrying $1 million -- representing the total payout for a series of cash prizes Virgin will pay in competitive tournaments hosted on the site.
The cloud-computing concept had insiders talking at E3 -- which started Tuesday and runs through Thursday. But not everyone in the tech community is sold just yet.
Some question whether gamers, who presumably already have at least one gaming console, will pony up again for the ability to play their favorite titles from the cloud.
"Even if it costs less to rent or play a game -- and it probably will ... OnLive will have a tough time competing with actual hardware for all but the most dedicated gamers," Jared Newman wrote on the Technologizer blog. | positive |
Back in 2013, I was the first person to notice students graduating from the top universities in the country were avoiding law school in droves. The LSAC usually updates this information around this time of year, so I keep an eye on their website to catch it. Previously, see:
Two years ago I thought things might have been leveling off. But then last year the numbers went down again.
What looked like a leveling off last year was apparently only a brief respite. Graduates from top schools increasingly view law school as a poor option for post-graduate studies.
Who knows when this is going to level off. But given that bar passage rates continue to decline across the country, things aren’t looking up for the legal industry at the moment.
So how did things turn out this year? Still heading down? Are students from the best universities in the country still avoiding law school?
No.
The Return
For the first time since 2010, the total number of graduates from the nation’s top universities applying to law school increased instead of continuing to decline. From 1,916 to 1,939, a 1.20% increase.
Brown, Chicago, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Penn, and Yale all had increases in graduates applying to law school from 2015 to 2016.
and all had increases in graduates applying to law school from 2015 to 2016. Only Columbia, Harvard, and Stanford had declines.
and had declines. Cornell has the largest year-to-year increase. 250 to 284, a 13.60% increase.
has the largest year-to-year increase. 250 to 284, a 13.60% increase. Harvard had the largest year-to-year decrease. 260 to 218, a 16.15% decrease.
had the largest year-to-year decrease. 260 to 218, a 16.15% decrease. The numbers continue to be incredibly down based upon available historical data. The percentage change in top university students applying to law school from 2008 to 2016 is -40.92%.
It’s only a slight 1% increase, but it’s the first sign the “best & the brightest” are looking at law school a bit more favorably. I doubt there will be a return to the grand heyday of top university students seeking law school as post-graduate option, but they’re no longer completely abandoning ship either.
We’ll need a few more years of data before we can make any definitive proclamations, but for now, things might be looking up for law schools.
Thinking about law school? You should probably read my book before you go. | positive |

Facebook is building an app for television and is asking publishers to create exclusive, TV-like shows for it, according to a new report. The Wall Street Journal reports that Facebook has been building the app, which would be available for boxes such as Apple TV. It is also talking to media companies about licensing TV-quality shows to be available on the app, the Journal reported, part of a long-term strategy to make video the center of the platform.
Facebook began working on an app last summer after discussing the idea for years, according to the Journal. But it’s not enough to build an app: Facebook needs to fill it with programming. Video on Facebook today consists mostly of short clips and experimental live streams — both formats that will be difficult to sell advertising revenue against. And advertising is the whole point of the exercise, because Facebook told investors recently that it’s running out of places in the News Feed where it could insert new ads.
And so Facebook is asking media companies to develop programming in exchange for a licensing fee. Facebook could then sell ads against the shows, which will be up to 10 minutes long and reportedly consist of both sports and scripted shows.
The cable bundle is gradually falling apart
Meanwhile the cable bundle is gradually falling apart, creating an opening for tech companies to move TV programming and its attendant advertising revenue to their platforms. Google (with YouTube), Snapchat (with Discover), and Twitter (with its live shows) are all making this play. So far, the companies have struggled to siphon ad dollars away from TV. But by bringing the platform to users’ actual televisions, it may be easier for Facebook to make the case.
In any case, YouTube has a set-top app, which means Facebook needs a set-top app. YouTube’s app has always focused on search rather than discovery — you go there when you already know what you’re looking for. A Facebook TV app focused on exclusive, licensed programming might feel a bit less sprawling. (Facebook declined to comment.)
From the perspective of media companies — including Vox Media, which owns The Verge — Facebook’s investment in original programming could be a very good thing. Today publishers are heavily reliant on advertising revenue, which spurs them to seek massive audiences, sometimes at the expense of quality. Getting direct payments from Facebook and other media companies to make next-generation TV shows would reduce their dependence on advertising, and potentially help them build more sustainable businesses. | positive |
Janata Party president Subramaniam Swamy today said he will soon register an FIR with CBI on the issue of black money stashed in foreign countries that would help him obtain letter rogatory from a court and his organisation then can directly approach foreign countries to get details of funds stashed.
"After studying the laws on how to get details of black money stashed abroad, my organisation Action Committee Against Corruption in India has decided to go to CBI office on November 28 and register an FIR on the issue," Swamy said.
"For filing of an FIR, we do not require names... we can only say that the unnamed persons have committed a crime against the country by stashing black money in foreign banks. If the CBI would not file a complaint, then we will approach a court to direct the CBI to file it," he said.
"Once the complaint is filed, we will approach a local court and obtain a letter rogatory for the purpose. That will be then presented in the court in Switzerland and that country's government to obtain details of Indians whose money is stashed their," Swamy said.
Letter rogatory is a formal request from a court to a foreign court for judicial assistance.
"We will follow the process in other countries also where there is banking secrecy," he further said.
"We are planning to do what our government is not able to do to obtain information about those who have stashed their
money in foreign banks," he said.
On the campaign against corruption by Anna Hazare, Swamy said, "I have proved that people can be booked and sent to jail under existing laws in the 2G case".
On a question of alliance with the BJP, Swamy said, "I ready to have an alliance with the BJP, but it is BJP which is not keen on it. We are even ready to merge our party with that party but they do not want this to happen".
He said that his party will be putting up candidates in the Gujarat assembly elections scheduled to be held in December 2012.

Terry George's The Promise has the rare good fortune of turning up in theaters just weeks after another film showed how necessary a movie like this is. The second star-driven war-adventure film of 2017 to set a cross-cultural love triangle against the horror of the Armenian Genocide, The Promise would outclass its forerunner, The Ottoman Lieutenant, even if it weren’t manifestly better in its story and acting and more arresting in its sweep.
The Ottoman Lieutenant, more a romance than a reckoning with history, never quite brings itself to admit that the Armenian Genocide actually happened — instead, it presents the Ottoman Empire in the era of the First World War as a land torn generically by war, one whose people at least had the good fortune to be tended to by Hera Hilmar’s plucky American nurse, who will treat anyone, regardless of which god they serve. Much of that film concerns her dueling suitors, and the final shot is a howler: In the highlands near Mt. Ararat, a parade line of wounded and dying Turks and Armenians lie on their gurneys as the camera cranes out and Hilmar dashes purposefully from one to the next. Civilization has crumbled, faiths are clashing and the Turks have set in motion the extermination of some 1.5 million Armenians, but the movie urges us not to worry — she's got this.
Nobody's got the situation under control in The Promise, a handsome but lumpish film whose creators are too honest to lie to us about individual heroism. George and Robin Swicord have also built their screenplay around three conflicted lovers, but here the history overwhelms the romance. Nobody in The Promise has to point out that their love problems don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world, because that crazy world is forever trying to kill them and everyone they care about. Rather than sweat over who’s crushing on whom, the protagonists endeavor to survive, offer aid to refugees and let the world know the truth about a campaign of mass murder that, to this day, the Turkish government still won’t officially acknowledge. | positive |
Note: This is a very long post, and contains the response of the authors of the study, "Are we witnessing a dishonest election? A between state comparison based on the used voting procedures of the 2016 Democratic Party Primary for the Presidency of the United States of America," to critics who posted highly negative and derogatory comments to my initial blog post on this matter at Booman Tribune. Unless you are a stat geek, feel free to stop reading when you reach the section marked Attachment.
As promised, I contacted the authors of the study, "Are we witnessing a dishonest election? A between state comparison based on the used voting procedures of the 2016 Democratic Party Primary for the Presidency of the United States of America," for their response to the criticism to their work posted in the comments to this post. In that email, I included critical comments from my Booman Tribune post regarding the study in their entirety.
Today, I received an email response to the authors' critics here at Booman Tribune from one of the authors, Axel Geijsel of Tilburgen University in the Netherlands (a.geijsel@tilburguniversity.edu). Here is what Axel sent me in that email:
Dear Steven, In regards to your earlier email. The criticism that you forwarded to us can be divided in two parts. The first is that we should add additional data in our appendix (most of which we have available), the second is that we shouldn't have used the exit poll data. The former we have no qualms with and will be more than happy to include, the latter is based on faulty information, and considering the vigor with which they mention it. We could not help but feel it was drivel. Especially given the fact that they linked to a website which was authored by someone who doesn't know absolute basics of statistics. Some of the sources coming from media-outlets, from which most of the writers in question knowing very little about statistics (certain articles kind of shocked me). An interesting one of the mentioned sources being from Nate Silver (fivethirtyeight), where he wrote a 10-part critique about exit polling: For which he did not go unscrutinized: [source]. He has received earlier criticism as well from different analysts. [[source]; [source]. And from anecdotal reference, he has been criticized many times more before too. In short, exit polling works using a margin of error, you will always expect it to be somewhat off the final result. This is often mentioned as being the margin of error, often put at 95%, it indicates that there's a 95% chance that the final result will lie within this margin. In exit polling this is often calculated as lying around 3%. The bigger the difference, the smaller the chance that the result is legitimate. This is because although those exit polls are not 100% accurate, they're accurate enough to use them as a reference point. In contrast to the idea that probably 1 out of 20 results will differ. Our results showed that (relatively) a huge amount of states differed. This would lead to two possibilities, a) the Sanders supporters are FAR more willing to take the exit polls, or b) there is election fraud at play. Considering the context of these particular elections, we believe it's the latter. Though that's our personal opinion, and others may differ in that, we believe we can successfully argue for that in a private setting considering the weight of our own study, the beliefs of other statisticians who have both looked at our own study (and who have conducted corroborating studies), and the fact that the internet is littered with hard evidence of both voter suppression and election fraud having taken place. Corroborating studies and links being: [source] (also a criticism on some of the above mentioned)[source]; [source]; [source]; [source]; [source]; [source]; [source] I hope to have provided you with enough ammunition to feel somewhat at ease. Kind regards, Axel Geijsel ps. I have included an attachment, I would advise to look at page 14 and 15.
If anyone has any concerns or questions at this point, I suggest that you email the the authors of the study.
Axel Geijsel email: a.geijsel@tilburguniversity.edu Rodolfo Cortes email: cortes@stanford.edu
The attachment, due to its length is below the fold. You are, of course free to say whatever you like in the comments, but I suggest that if you have sincere issues with the report, the proper place to begin is contacting the authors.
For myself, I have nothing further to add to their response, or to my father's comment about the satudy previously posted here at Booman Tribune.

This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system, which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States. The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds. They allow “weighting” of races. Weighting a race removes the principle of “one person-one vote” to allow some votes to be counted as less than one or more than one. Regardless of what the real votes are, candidates can receive a set percentage of votes. Results can be controlled. For example, Candidate A can be assigned 44% of the votes, Candidate B 51%, and Candidate C the rest. Instead of “1” the vote is allowed to be 1/2, or 1+7/8, or any other value that is not a whole number.
Fractions in results reports are not visible.Votes containing decimals are reported as whole numbers unless specifically instructed to reveal decimals (which is not the default setting). All evidence that fractional values ever existed can be removed instantly even from the underlying database using a setting in the GEMS data tables, in which case even instructing GEMS to show the decimals will fail to reveal they were used. - from http://blackboxvoting.org/fraction-magic-1/
The amount of support Clinton receives among blacks is far higher in states without a paper trail, than the states with a paper trail.
Page 2
Even when adjusting for the proportion of black voters in a state, the amount that votes for Clinton is still disproportionally higher.
[note from the writer, this might indicate that if tampering with the votes has occurred, it would be reasonable to assume that they are added to subgroups which are claimed to heavily favor Hillary Clinton, i.e. black and female voters (for the latter I have not found the time yet)]

In the above polls done by Gallup and Pew research center Sanders scores a higher favorability ratings than Clinton. In all the ratings, conducted by these renowned institutes, they found that the favorability ratings for Sanders consistently outperformed Hillary Clinton, with mixed results in the subgroup of African American voters. The last being one of the biggest claimed subgroups which would favor Hillary Clinton. This is in stark contrast with the results in the non paper-trail states, where Clinton won the African American vote with 83%. In the paper-trail states, she only won them with 74% of the votes. The latter lying far closer to the polling results.
Not just that, Sanders outperforms Clinton in almost all the groups and subgroups in these polls, which is in stark contrast with the end results from the primaries. These results in earlier elections often lied very closely to the actual final results.

In the following pages, graphs are shown containing the cumulative placed votes over time. In sampling, polling, or any other form of statistical analysis. The general rule is that the higher the amount of trials that one does, the more you would get closer to the actual ‘true’ number. Meaning, the more votes that are placed, the more chance that the number that is given is correct.
Because of this, at the start of the polling, the numbers might fluctuate heavily, after which they will stabilize over time. Similar to an 1/x graph. On the following three pages, you will find numerous examples in which the graphs will indeed smoothe out. These are examples of graphs as you would normally find them.
On the three pages thereafter, you will find abnormal curves. Incidentally, all of these changes favored Hillary Clinton. Below the graphs, you will find the p-value as we found through our own proportional analysis. Meaning, the smaller the p-value, the higher the discrepancy between the exit-polls and the final results (i.e. indicating the chance of such an occurrence; e.g. p=0,07 is a 7% chance). These are indications of election fraud taking place.
Most of the normal curves are retrieved from the New York Times website. The abnormal curves have been retrieved from the website of - https://richardcharnin.wordpress.com/category/2016-election/ . The reason for this is because the abnormal graphs have been removed from the mainstream media websites.
“One can also search for trends to check for fraud. One of the most revealing methods, the Cumulative Vote Share Analysis, searches for a correlation between the size of a discrepancy (between recorded vote and exit polls) and the size of a precinct. When no fraud has taken place the trend tends to be quite regular. When the discrepancy tends to manifest as the size of the precinct becomes larger than a certain value, it is a strong indication of fraud, according to Richard Charnin. Roughly speaking the reason for this behavior is that electronic rigging is implemented strategically in order not to become obvious. The discrepancy caused by the rigging is “better” distributed between those precincts that are big enough to be worth the effort.”

Looking at the discrepancies between the exit polls and the final tally, nearly all are in favor of Hillary Clinton by a huge margin. This is statistically impossible (“The probability P of this happening is 1 in 77 billion”).
“A discrepancy between the declared vote (recorded vote) and the vote extrapolated from the exit polls is an indication of fraud when it is above a margin of error of 2% within a confidence level of 95%.
Here is how it works. When statisticians try to measure the ‘real vote’ they not only estimate the final vote count but they also analyze the entire distribution of the data they gathered from the exit poll voter sampling in order to determine the reliability of their final determination. When fluctuations in the data are due to randomness they will follow a statistical distribution that follows the shape of a bell curve, the Gaussian curve. The reliability or unreliability of the sample data doesn’t depend so much on the trustworthiness of those who collect the exit poll voter sampling, but it’s rather intrinsic to the shape of the distribution. From this shape an ‘interval of confidence’ is determined within which we can unquestionably claim our confidence that we got it right with a probability of 95%--always 95%. This interval of confidence is also called ‘margin of error’ (MoE). Poorly informed ‘experts’ frequently argue that the statistical analysis of exit polls can be misleading because it assumes that real life data is randomly distributed (as in the Gaussian curve) when that’s not always the case. And here is where they are missing a central point. The expectation that sample data will be randomly distributed ALREADY takes into account all possible relevant factors in a practical observation in real life. When extraneous factors intervene, a discrepancy will make the recorded value fall outside of the interval of confidence signaling only one possibility: a systematic error. When this occurs statisticians make further analysis to determine the causes, and either remove the cause or include it into the ‘margin of error’. After 59 years of fine-tuning this process in countless elections around the world statisticians have reached a point where exit polls have become extremely reliable. If the final ‘Recorded Vote’ falls outside the interval of confidence one can assume with a high degree of certainty that the systematic error is intentional. This is why we say that we have a high probability of fraud.”

“My specialty is statistics and I’ve pulled down publicly available data independently, analyzed it myself, and corroborated analyses which points to massive widespread election fraud. Mr. Holland disparages the mathematical work of Richard Charnin*, but I have not found an error in any of the analyses of his that I have repeated. In particular, his assessment of the binomial probability regarding the likelihood of the exit poll results, is both accurate and appropriate. I have verified it myself. This binomial analysis was ignored by Mr. Holland in favor of criticizing a different approach that was also used. That approach is also sound, but I have not reproduced those calculations. That both models show results that are consistent with the hypothesis of election fraud is more than doubly damning. If we assume no election fraud, then the two different types of analysis of the exit poll errors are unrelated because one analysis looks at the size of the error while the other is based on whether it benefited Hillary versus Bernie. That they are both consistent with fraud could be considered a third piece of evidence in support of that hypothesis.
There are only two possibilities – a) Bernie supporters are more likely to respond to the poll or b) there is widespread election fraud altering election results in favor of Hillary across the U.S.
Cumulative Vote Share (CVS) analysis pioneered by Francis Choquette shows problems across the nation for the past decade or more. Interestingly enough, places that use hand counted ballots do not show the same trends and within a state, analyzing by machine can show sharply different trends for different equipment. Such analysis shows trends that are indicative of rigging that favors Hillary. The apparent ease of hacking electronic voting machines combined with the prevalence of election rigging through-out the world and human history.
Lack of basic quality control procedures: In most locations in the U.S., no one – not officials and not citizens – actually verify the official vote counts. Canvassing becomes a sham that involves verifying that yes, the machine produced outcomes all add up to the machine produced totals. In those places where the count was supposed to be publicly verified,citizens watching report blatant miscounting to force a match to the “official results”. Their testimony to election commissioners about such actions were met with a blank stare followed by dismissal of their testimony. I do not make that statement lightly. I hold a Ph.D. in statistics and have been certified as a Quality Engineer for nearly 30 years. I’ve gone to the extreme of filing a lawsuit requesting access to the voting machine records to verify those election results. So far, I haven’t been allowed access.

Did you get here TOO LATE to make a pledge?
Don't despair. Just go to EagleGames.net and get pre-order information on how to get Lisboa at a good price before it is launched in June, 2017
We made it to $400,000 in pledges including our Worldwide Backers!
ALL Stretch Goals are therefore now included for all Backers!
Last Update 8:30 PM Dec. 15 (less than 30 minutes to go)
$145,769 Pledged from 1,456 World Backers Total = 4,281 Backers & $423,199 Pledged
We will be regularly updating the combined Pledges and Backer counts from all of our International partners for orders taken between Nov. 15 and Dec. 15. The total of all such orders when added to our Kickstarter totals will be used to determine the achieved Stretch Goals!
GAME OVERVIEW
Lisboa is a game about the reconstruction of the great Portuguese capital city after a series of terrible catastrophes. On November 1, 1755, Lisboa suffered an earthquake of an estimated magnitude of 8.5–9.0, followed by a devastating tsunami and 3 days of raging fires. The city was almost totally destroyed.
Set up for 4 players and ready to play
The Marquis of Pombal, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, was then the minister of foreign affairs. The King put him in charge of the reconstruction of Lisboa. The Marquis gathered a team of engineers and architects to aid him in this reconstruction.
The Honorable Marquis De Pombal
Lisboa is thus played, in part, on a representational map of the city. During the planning of the downtown re-building project, the type of businesses permitted in each street was pre-determined. The clockmakers and goldsmiths had their street; as did the bookstores and libraries; the tailors and silk vendors; and the toolmakers as well. This all comes into play on the Lisboa gameboard.
The streets of the Lisboa gameboard
Players represent the nobility of Lisboa who will use their influence in the reconstruction and business development of the new city.
Manuel da Maia, the Royal Builder charged with restoring Lisboa
In rebuilding the city, players will make use of the Royal Builder, who works with the architects to build Lisboa anew, while the Marquis will provide aid in the development of commerce. The King will provide players with political help in re-opening the beautiful new city. But the true reason you are rebuilding the city is not for greatness, or even fame or fortune. As a nobleman or noblewoman of Lisboa, your primary motivation is the acquisition of Wigs--a most important trading commodity of the Era, and the means of scoring points in the game.
WIGS were a very unique and valuable commodity of the time. Only the wealthiest people could possess more than one wig.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION
Vital Lacerda is an "Alfacinha"! (One who is from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.) There is no one better qualified to design the best game ever produced about Lisbon than Vital. As you read through this Kickstarter project, we believe you will be impressed with the painstaking details Vital has incorporated into the game, capturing the pivotal historic events that gave rise to the complete rebuilding of Lisbon in the late 18th Century. Thanks for your support and enjoy the game.
STRETCH GOALS
*Spot UV Varnish -- This is a special printing technique that applies a clear varnish to specific areas of the board, giving them a slightly raised and glossy appearance. This effect will be applied to all of the important iconography on the board, further facilitating clarity during game play.
* Spot UV varnish on the board - Stretch goal # 2
**Specially-designed player board -- This adds a multi-level player board that features pre-cut spaces for components such as cubes and wooden houses, preventing them from moving during play. It also adds “feet” that lift the middle section, allowing players to more easily tuck cards under the board.
** Specially-designed player board - Stretch goal # 11
***Spot UV Varnish on the Box -- This is a special printing technique that applies a clear varnish to specific areas of the box, giving them a slightly raised and gloss appearance.
*** Spot UV varnish on the box - Stretch goal # 15

ADD-ONS
Please wait until the Survey comes to you just after this KS projects ends to pledge for these add-ons! Actual shipping expense will be added to your pledge for these add-ons after the KS project has ended.
Add-Ons have been the source of a lot of confusion and some "issues" in the past. It is very difficult and expensive for us to coordinate and pay for shipping and stocking goods in four or more locations around the world. As a result, we are offering these Add-Ons only AFTER the KS program ends (via our survey that you will receive within two weeks after this KS ends) AND we are only offering them to US and Canadian Backers for certain.
There will be an additional cost for shipping Add-Ons (matching our costs for shipping, we do not make a profit on shipping!) and you will be advised of those extra shipping costs after you have filled out and returned the survey and worksheet. If the shipping costs prove unacceptable to you, you may cancel your order and you will not be charged anything for Add-ons. If the shipping charges are acceptable, you will pay for the Add-ons via PayPal or wire payment.
For backers in the EU, Australia, Asia and South America, we will provide these Add-Ons on a first come, first served basis. If we do not have the stock needed, we will offer you a FULL refund.

MEET THE DESIGNER
The King IN Lisboa
The King OF Lisboa
Hello everyone. I am Vital Lacerda, the designer of Lisboa. I was born in Lisbon 49 years ago, a city I adore and still live in with Sandra, my wife, and my two lovely daughters. I have a masters degree in Marketing and Advertising, and after working in advertising agencies for almost 15 years as an art director, I decided to try my luck as a freelance graphic designer. I've been working like this since 2007. At that same time I also began designing board games, my true and great passion.
Most of all, I consider myself a gamer who had the luck of having a few publishers who believed in my games. I published Vinhos in 2010; CO2 two years later; Kanban in 2014 and the Gallerist in 2015. This year I also did a major re-release of my first game Vinhos--with a great production done by my friends at Eagle-Gryphon Games. In this new production of Vinhos Deluxe, you can find the original 2010 game as well as a new streamlined version based on 6 years of playtesting by thousands of players all over the world-- including You (I hope).
Fortunately, all my games were well-accepted by enough gamers that they were "successful". Lisboa will be my 6th big release. I believe it has the strongest and best-integrated theme of all my games. It's a game about my town and its reconstruction by the great builders of a bygone era. I hope you will enjoy Lisboa as much you did all the others.
Gaiola Pombalina
I have a tendency to design "thinking" games because those are the types of games I love to play. A big box game takes a lot of time to design, play test and develop. So when I begin such an endeavor, I always look for a few characteristics that are fun for me in those type of games. They need to be challenging; they need to require deep thinking and difficult decision-making; they must allow great control; and they must involve intense competition and heavy strategy. Those are the games I love to play and design.
Lisboa: Building Stores
I usually start to look for a theme to be the foundation of the game. Strategic thinking inside a game that is supported by a strong theme must always be present. That it is the most challenging thing when designing such a game. My games are usually based in a simple core that offers the player a lot of layers to explore. Lisboa is not an exception to any of this and I hope it gives you the challenge and the fun you are looking for.
I like interconnected mechanisms a lot — pursuing strategies, different complex paths — but I also love to adapt, make tactical moves, and have some randomness in games. I try to avoid luck in longer games. I believe luck should be delivered not by the system, but by player decisions.
Building stores unlocks various benefits
I also love to move pieces on a board. That is precisely one of the things I most care about in games. I love moving wood and cardboard over the board, I like to touch, to feel. For me, it makes the game much more dynamic, colorful, and fun. Because of that, my games always deliver to the players loads of great components inside a big heavy box. And you may expect the same in Lisboa. I hope you enjoy playing Lisboa as much as I enjoyed designing it. I really still love playing it! Go to the rules section above, read the rules and take a look at the video. I sincerely hope this is a game for you and your friends. Thank you very much for reading this and for supporting me on this campaign.

MEET THE ARTIST
Ian O'Toole
Ian O’Toole is an Irish illustrator and graphic designer working out of Perth in Western Australia. Lisboa is his third collaboration with Vital and Eagle-Gryphon Games, following The Gallerist and Vinhos Deluxe. He has over fifteen years’ experience working in many creative fields, producing illustration, design and 3d animation for a broad selection of industries.
Ian works in a wide variety of styles and particularly enjoys drawing from design trends throughout history. Lisboa presented an excellent chance to do just that. Ian works from his home in Perth, one of the most isolated cities in the world, with his wife, two children and dog.

Ready Player One is the upcoming Steven Spielberg movie based on the fabulous Ernest Cline novel. It’s about Wade Watts, a high school student who is trying to escape his lackluster life and win a fabulous prize—total control of the videogame he adores. It's akin to winning total control of World of Warcraft, only the lootz would be real gold.
And now we’re finally getting a glimpse of the world Wade, aka Parzival, is trying to avoid.
As we learn in the book, Earth is suffering a global energy crisis, and without enough resources, most people live in poverty. Wade lives with 14 other people in his aunt’s double-wide trailer; his aunt keeps his food vouchers, so he has to fix computers or go hungry. But he gets the laundry room to himself.
In these four photos, we get a glimpse of just how run-down the future is … which makes a look at the ads in the picture all the more enticing. No wonder Wade and his friends spent all of their time in a virtual world. The real one kinda sucks.
If you haven't read Cline's novel, you should get on that immediately. It was a flashback-inducing delight.

Emerging Cyber Threats in 2021 | The Specialty Insurance Blog Featured What’s New Social Responsibility Our Specialties Technology intactspecialty.com Select Page Specialty Blog Home 9 Corporate 9 Blogs 9 Emerging Cyber Threats in 2021 Emerging Cyber Threats in 2021 by Sasha Aronson | Jan 11, 2021 | Blogs, Corporate, Cybersecurity, Expertise, Specialty Insurance, Technology, Technology Insurance, Trends The digital acceleration that occurred last year will continue to have far-reaching effects when it comes to cyber security. Security Boulevard predicts the global cost of cyber crime will reach $11 million per minute by 2021. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, data breaches decreased 30 percent in 2020 because cyber crooks are focusing on attacks that require logins and passwords to gain access to corporate networks for ransomware or Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams. Social engineering will become more sophisticated and remain a prominent tool used in all forms of phishing attacks. Social media has contributed to the wealth of free information available about individuals and organizations making it easier to profile potential targets with credible details prior to launching an attack. By employing technology to gather this data, crooks can effectively create highly targeted spear phishing attacks. In November 2020 Proofpoint reported SMiShing attacks had increased more than 300%. In August 2020 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned of a substantial increase in scams originating on social media. No topic is off limits to the intruders. Pandemic-related topics, such as testing, contact tracing and vaccines, will continue to be used as lures. In July 2020 Forbes reported that an audit of the Dark Web, the portion of the Internet that uses anonymity tools to hide network addresses, revealed that 15 billion stolen logins and passwords from 100,000 cyber breaches are in circulation. This data can be bought for mere pennies making it critical to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever it is available. WatchGuard boldly predicts any service without MFA is highly likely to be compromised in 2021. In Q3-2020 Check Point Research saw a 50% increase in the global daily average of ransomware attacks as compared to the first half of the year. Ransomware tactics have become increasingly aggressive. Traditional ransomware attacks denied access to systems and data. The methodology, however, has evolved to include double extortion with crooks threatening to leak the data if ransom is not paid. In addition, cyber criminals are offering to deploy ransomware as a one-time or ongoing service. Alternatively, security firms have begun offering ransomware brokering services to negotiate with attackers. Healthcare remains an alluring target due to the urgency associated with accessing records and systems, which increases the likelihood of paying a ransom. Rapidly transitioning to remote learning along with the outsourcing of distance learning tools likely resulted in cyber security gaps making educational institutions vulnerable to attack. A December alert from the National Cyber Awareness System warned that kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) educational institutions are being targeted for ransomware attacks, data theft, and disruption of distance learning through 2021. The Internet of Things (IoT) will continue to expand and be combined with the Internet of Behaviors (IoB). The IoB uses the data collected via the IoT to build a profile from multiple sources and intelligently anticipate human behaviors. The IoB is still in the infancy stage but has the potential to become an essential sales and marketing tool. It remains to be seen how ethical questions will be resolved. Deepfakes have the potential to fundamentally change how the world is perceived. As quality improves, discerning truth from fiction becomes more difficult. In October 2020 Adobe announced the pre-release of a content attribution tool that provides an audit trail of a photo including the author’s name, location, and a history of the photo edits. Cyber espionage and attacks by nation states are becoming more advanced. In December 2020 the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) issued an emergency directive regarding a global hack of the SolarWinds Orion suite of business software products. Concurrently, Reuters reported that a National Security Council meeting was held at the White House on a Saturday because hackers allegedly working for Russia have been monitoring internal traffic at the United States Treasury and Commerce Departments. It appears that the compromise began in March 2020 and was accomplished via a supply chain attack when malware was hidden in the body of legitimate software updates that were then provided to targets via a third party. Orion software is widely used by the United States government and companies worldwide to monitor their networks. The extent of this hack is still unknown, and it underscores the enormous risk posed by third-party vendors. These items are merely a snippet of today’s cyber security challenges. Keeping pace with the increasing number of constantly evolving threats will continue to be a demanding but vital focus for us all in 2021.

Posted By: Ken Stone January 30, 2019 Entry deadline for Toruń indoor worlds closed this week, and I’m excited to see Poland’s Stanislaw Kowalski, born in April 1910, down for the 60, shot and discus. At almost 109, he’s likely the oldest competitive athlete in history — even older than Japan’s Hidekichi Miyazaki, aka “Golden Bolt,” who often was credited as being the fastest M105 sprinter. Sadly, Hidekichi died last week at age 108. (I wrote about Miyazaki Mania in 2015.) WMA now lists outdoor world records for M105 (by Stan and Hidekichi), so anything Stan does at Torun will qualify as an indoor M105 world record. The registration list (which can be filtered to view entrants by nation, event, age group) says Stan has submitted NT (no time) in the 60 and NM in the discus. But he has a shot mark of 3.28 meters (10-9). The only other 100-plus entrant is India’s Man Kaur, the famed thrower and sprinter. At 102, she’s down for the 60, 200, shot and javelin (held outdoors, of course). I’m also intrigued by an “Independent” national entry. Sometimes, that means a banned Russian allowed to compete. But in this case, the entrant is M60 Mohammed Al-Dossary, who has competed for Saudi Arabia in the past. That Asian country has never been a WMA affiliate, I’m told. Mohammed is down for the 10K road run and half-marathon. (I’ll ask around about Mohammed and the Saudis.) The meet site says 4,000 are signed up, with Poland entering 845, Germany 475 and Britain 393. Team USA is No. 6 at 219 (not counting two from Puerto Rico). Meanwhile, a last look at Golden Bolt.

Sometimes we get a severe laceration. But while our petty travails and divorces may send us into shame spirals that can only be relieved by self-medication and Deadliest Catch marathons, they pale in comparison to the life of Rich Nicholas. Rich, now 46 years young, has lived on the streets since childhood, but remains possibly the truest example of indefatigable pride and dogged perseverance. Open your heart: Sitting down with Nicholas, one encounters a man whose every word drips with hope. "I'm so hungry. If I could just get some change for some food, please. Anything helps." But his modesty and feigned desperation belies his industriousness: Rich has learned to nearly afford his alcohol addiction by digging in the trash behind the Methadone clinic for relatively clean needles he can sell on the street. When was the last time you were so resourceful? Toward the end of our time together, Rich provided this author a lesson in stoic deadpan humor when he jokingly asked about the proceeds from this book. "It seems like I sorta deserve just a little of it -- please, I'm talking about like ten dollars. I'm hurting, man. Please." When you high-rolling book publishers are considering how much you're going to pay me for this book, think of the unfortunate, the sick, the lonely souls wandering the streets of our cities. If we price it right, they would only need to panhandle for a few weeks to afford it (the paperback, of course).

South Africa’s nuclear munificence is stockpiled in the Pelindaba Nuclear Research Centre, just west of Pretoria. Within a secure vault smoulders almost a quarter of a tonne of highly enriched uranium, enough to make about ten cities go boom. Using diplomacy by other means—AKA an expose by an outfit called the Centre of Public Integrity, published in the Washington Post—the Americans have announced that they believe Pelindaba to be one of the world’s great security threats. How afraid should we be? RICHARD POPLAK dons a nuclear protection radiation suit and wades in.
Here’s a question for pre-nuclear winter South Africa: how does one distinguish between regular, old-school robbery and high-stakes atom bomb brinkmanship intended to usher in World War IV?
By the grade of bolt-cutters used in the caper? By the tensile strength of the wool in the balaclavas? By the loudness of the Mission: Impossible theme song playing in the background?
These questions have taken on renewed urgency following the publication of a Centre for Public Integrity report that suggests that the renowned 2007 break-in at the Pelindaba Nuclear Research Centre was not a petty robbery, as our government insists that it was, but a coordinated and well planned attempt to steal as much of our 485lbs of bomb-grade uranium as possible. There is a significant difference in outlook here, and it has apparently caused a whole lot of sturm und drang between the SA Government and their American frenemies.
They want us to hand our weapons-grade uranium over to responsible adults for safekeeping. The SA government wants our paper-suited boffins to keep crafting medical isotopes in order to kill tumours, not people. Between these positions, there’s a persistent nightmare of stolen Brand-SA nukes wiping out the eastern seaboard at the behest of Iranian-sponsored pyromaniacs or ISIS-inspired millenarians.
So, just how significant is South Africa’s bomb juice to the global balance of power?
The story begins back in the halcyon days of apartheid, when commies were commies and Braai Day was every day. It was 1956, and Johannes Strijdom was looking to switch on the lights by the godly power of the split atom. The Americans were happy to help out an anti-Soviet outpost of Christian rectitude, and under the ambit of the Atoms For Peace programme, supplied Pretoria with the know-how to build a nuclear reactor powered by—spoiler alert!—weapons-grade uranium. Come 1976, and it was clear to the hacks in Washington that the apartheid regime was considering a bomb or two to complement their reactor. But by then it was too late. Because the Boers had enough highly enriched uranium supplied by the Americans to do with what they wanted, and they wanted the ultimate industrial-scale, city-sized meat griller.
Which, in short, is how a regime that was afraid of television managed to acquire an arsenal of atomic weaponry.
Oh, it was a different time, when the enemy of your enemy was your friend, and the bands of rogue Mujahedeen being funded by the Americans in Afghanistan had yet to branch out into international terrorism. Nonetheless, the quarter-tonne of uranium ingots that (hopefully!) still sit in Pelindaba are easily transportable, and so pure that slamming enough of them together at speed would cause the DA to send out a strongly-worded press release should Pretoria inadvertently be flattened.
What I’m really describing is one of those cause-and-effect screw-ups that are the bastard spawn of the Cold War. But the ingots are worth a lot of money, and the government doesn’t want to give them up. Think of them as inheritance from a hated patriarch, one that brings in roughly R850 million a year and gets the attention of all the boys at global circle-jerks like Davos. The Americans understand the South Africans to be close with Iran—who are famously pursuing their own nuclear programme—but mostly they understand us to be incompetent, and they’re afraid that a second Pelindaba break-in would result in someone with a very long beard posting an unforgettable YouTube video.
* * *
The November 2007 break-in was actually two break-ins. The first occurred shortly after midnight, the second shortly after shortly after midnight. The tsotsis/professional thieves/terrorist mofos (depending on your version) cut through the chain link fence, and entered the facility only to be thwarted by a local fireman. It’s not the stuff that Tom Cruise movies are made of, and while no one has been done for the breach—this, after all, is a country in which no one gets done for anything—there did appear to be “insider participation”, to which most of us would say, Duh.
And while our own government brushed the episode off, the real world was practically shitting mushroom clouds. “That really freaked people out,” understated Gary Samone, President Obama’s nuclear terrorism guru until 2013. Their prez even sent our prez a letter detailing his concerns, which sounds like a last resort given Zuma’s aversion to consuming written material. Pelindaba is considered an easy target, and the prize within is almost impossibly rich. The uranium is apparently contained within a vault, and the vault according to Waldo Stumpf, a nuclear wonk who worked for the apartheid regime and for the Mandela and Mbeki governments, is impenetrable.
Famous last words.
What so terrified the Americans was a 98-page report, still largely “secret”, that detailed the details of the raid with alarming details. As the Centre for Public Integrity piece put it:
The first raider went straight to the electrical box, where he circumvented a magnetic anti-tampering mechanism, disabled the alarms, cut the communications cable, and shut down power to a portion of the fence and to alarms on a gate just 250 feet away — opening a path for a vehicle to exit.
This was not simply a matter of pulling a switch, a person familiar with the independent investigation said, but required electrical skills and knowledge of the security systems. Those who participated, the report said, had special training.
The raiders arrived on a night when they may have expected little resistance. The Emergency Center supervisor scheduled for duty that night used a wheelchair, but had arranged for a colleague to take his place. She brought along her dog and her fiancé, Frans Antonie Gerber, an off-duty firefighter
Security forces never confronted the raiders. But the dogs’ barking — which led Gerber to spy the intruders and his girlfriend to call for help — thwarted the intrusion.
Chased off by Lassie. How encouraging. How reassuring.
The Americans believe that we have a “crime problem”, one which will lead to Pelindaba being emptied of its treasures. They want the uranium secured—another way of saying, “transferred to their care”—as soon as possible. But there never really has been a hope in hell of South Africa giving up the goods. The apartheid regime wasn’t about to hand ‘em over, and there’d be a measure of insanity to the ANC-led government doing the same. Sure, this stuff is terrorist catnip. But it generates four Nkandlas worth of income a year, and, frankly, it’s not like the United States is a paragon of responsibility when it comes to blowing things up.
* * *
The big barrier between Washington and the uranium remains Abdul Samad Minty, this country’s reigning nuclear wonk, and not exactly the sort of guy you’d find at an Elect Jeb Bush rally. Minty now has the plum post of the South Africa’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, and probably spends on an average espresso what our ingots bring in annually. But one can’t accuse him of equivocating, and as he told the Centre for Public Integrity, “The problem is you can’t have nuclear-weapons states who feel they can have nuclear weapons and have as many as they want.”
Minty’s long-held belief is that it’s impolite to tell a fellow holding a quarter of a tonne of bomb grade material to dump it when you’re holding 741 metric tons of the stuff. And according to an absolutely terrifying resource called NuclearTerror.org, “There are about 40 states with approximately 2,070 tons of weapons-usable fissile material, enough to make more than 130,000 nuclear weapons,” while only eight states (un)officially have the bomb. For the Obama administration, the Pelindaba debacle has been about cauterizing one wound among dozens. And the SA Government doesn’t want to be cauterized, let alone considered a wound.
How bad will this spat get? Put it this way: there’s no middle ground. Highly enriched uranium is a resource, and in Africa you don’t hand resources over to other countries without conjuring up the likes of Cecil John Rhodes, which is just entirely bad vibes.
In an interview secured by the Daily Maverick, Xolisa Mabhongo, Group Executive Corporate Services at the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (NECSA), was equally as emphatic as Minty. “This is our property,” he said of the uranium. “What they should be worried about is the stockpiles of nuclear warheads held by the US and others. That is a threat to the world.” Mabhongo reminded us that South Africa was the first country to voluntarily dismantle its nuclear weapons, and is the second biggest producer of medical isotopes that treat cancer. No one else has done this, according to Mabhongo, and there has been nothing in the way of reciprocity from the big guys who jealously guard their own arsenals.
As Mabhongo correctly stated, the terms of the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) determined that those who did not have nukes would not attempt to acquire them, and those that did would get rid of them in as seemly a manner as possibly. The former has been rigorously enforced, with a Pyongyang-ish blip here and there. The latter has been a complete joke. ‘We have kept our side of the bargain,” said Mabhongo, implying that we’ve bombed cancer instead of the Marshall Island archipelago.
What’s more, according to Mabhongo, our uranium is under “24-hour guard” by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the same people who will be policing Iran if US Secretary of State John Kerry can bore the mullahs into signing a deal. What’s more, South Africa has signed an additional protocol to the IAEA, which means the inspectors can pop in unannounced, visit our nuclear sites, eat our biltong, and comment on the colour schemes in our secret bunkers.
So.
On the one hand, a terrified Washington trying to exact another of President Obama’s pie-in-the-sky mandates: sweeping up the thousands of kilograms of enriched uranium that was over the course of the Cold War dispensed by the Americans like bad LSD at a Grateful Dead concert. On the other hand, you have a South African government that isn’t interested in having this conversation until it includes the term “disarmament”, full knowing that it also means “never”. Pelindaba remains a target, but its one that is under the supervision of the same agency that the Obama administration claims will save us all from the Mad Mullahs when the Big Deal is done.
In other words, an impasse.
Worryingly, though, here in the real world, where nuclear bombs really hurt, we’re told to believe the words of the government that sat on the 1997 report informing them that country would run out of electrical power by 2007, right up until it ran out of power in 2008. The same government that did pretty much nothing until 2015. Except that, should something Eskom-sized happen this time, their ineffectiveness and disconnect from reality could cost Western (or Eastern, or African) civilisation roughly eight to ten cities. And yet, if the Washington Post story was meant to nudge that government into action, it’s done no such thing.
So keep digging, folks—dig deep, and dig far. Store up your Koo supplies, load up your iPod with dirges and shanties, make sure you buy plenty of everything. Because an eternity in a bunker could be the load-shedding of the future. DM

In the present market, there are different toothpastes made of harmful chemicals that attract people with different flavors, taste and fragrances which majorly involves poor oral health. We conducted a survey on behalf of “The Elite Dental Care” and surprisingly, we recorded rapid increase of usage of Bio functional Prosthetic dentures. BPS dentures however becomes a compulsion to patients for obvious reasons. Initially, patients reach our hospital hesitating as to what are dentures exactly? and how do they impact on their body? Some insights on Bio Functional Prosthetic system dentures. Bio functional Prosthetic System: There is a famous saying that says, “The Best and cheapest dentistry is when the right thing is done perfectly well the first time and it lasts for a long time”. BPS dentures is one such right thing in dentistry that retains the smile of the people. What is BPS? BPS is designed as a replica of human dentures which are made up of high-quality materials to work in harmonious way with the human body as the natural dentures do. These are removable dentures. BPS is made up of unique Ivo clear teeth that satisfies the beauty concerns of the patients. This system uses controlled pressure/heat polymerization procedure so that the exact amount of materials flow into the flask which compensates the shrinkage and ensures perfect fit. The pressure exerted during the manufacture optimizes the physical properties of the material. Ivo clear tooth is made up of three layers of cross-linked acrylic resins which gives the feel of life in appearance and gives resistance to the dentures after wearing. BPS BPS Dentures overview: There are several types of Dentures and BPS system can be used as an option for all dentures. Types of Dentures: Immediate Dentures: These are full or partial dentures that are implanted immediately after the natural teeth are removed. These are implanted as a temporary solution to fill in the gaps of the extracted tooth. For some patients the dentures are fixed after 6 to 7 days post extraction. In the third case, Dentures are implanted in some patients after 6 months of tooth extraction, this delay allows the gums to heal and stop shrinking. The third option is taken in very rare cases. Implant Retained Dentures: These are permanently placed dentures. The treatments are proven clinically successful for replacing the lost teeth. These dentures are very comfortable and give long life as a substitute to the extracted tooth and brings back beautiful smile on the patient’s face. The look and feel exactly matches with the natural teeth in the mouth. Dr. Abe Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Dentures (SEMCD): Dr. Abe from Tokyo Dental College is a well-known name in Dental community. He developed Mandibular Suction Denture in 1999. These dentures are useful to patients who suffer from full lower dentures. This denture is achieved with the combination of BPS system and suction mechanism. Full Dentures: A full Denture replaces the whole set of natural teeth (both upper and lower teeth arc). It is made up of acrylic base and composite set of denture teeth. For extra strength a metal plate is inserted into the artificial dental set. After inserting full Dentures patients can live normally without any change in their lifestyle. Partial Dentures: These dentures are designed as required by the patients. They are removable and temporarily placed. They fill the gaps of extracted tooth and helps the surrounding tooth to strengthen and maintain the shape. Patients who put on dentures can eat, speak and smile normally. Partial Dentures Making of Dentures: Step 1: Once the patient visits the hospital for dentures, doctor takes the impression of his teeth structure using a plaster model. Step 2: This plaster model is kept into an articulator (a device which replicates the patient’s jaw), which helps the doctor attach the teeth chosen with wax. Step 3: The doctor shapes and carves the replica of gums on the wax. With this step the process of creating dentures will be almost finished. These designed dentures are fitted in a device called flask; more plastic is poured to maintain the shape of the dentures. After a while the flask is kept in boiling water to melt the wax away. Step 4: The left-over wax is washed away and cleared off by injecting Acrylic. A liquid separator is painted on to the plastic to avoid the sticking of Acrylic. Step 5: The technicians break off the plastic mold using some lab tools. To confirm all the plastic is removed, dentures are placed for ultrasonic bath. Step6: The technicians make sure all the plastic is removed by trimming and then polish the dentures with pumice. Step7: Dentures are ready to be placed in the concerned patient’s mouth to bring back his/her smile. BPS Dentures Cost: BPS denture cost varies on the type of dentures required by the patients and number of sittings he/she is required to visit the dentists. Approximately Lower denture costs $300 to $500 per denture, a full set of lower and upper denture costs $600 to $1000 per denture. Flexible Dentures: Flexible dentures are a type of partial soft dentures made up of different materials like thin thermoplastic such as nylon. These dentures fill in the gaps of the extracted tooth. These dentures are more comfortable for chewing. These are translucent in nature which allows the natural gums to be visible and looks similar to natural teeth. Flexible Dentures Conclusion: In today’s world with the advancement in technology everything is possible within limited time. There are many dental advancements that helps us to retain and maintain our gorgeous smile.

The Lockheed Ventura, also known as the Lockheed B-34 Lexington, was a twin engine medium bomber of World War II, used by United States and British Commonwealth forces in several guises, including maritime patrol.
The Ventura was developed from the Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar transport, as a replacement for the Lockheed Hudson bombers then in service with the Royal Air Force. Used in daylight attacks against occupied Europe, they proved to have weaknesses and were removed from bomber duty and some used for patrols by Coastal Command.
After United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) monopolization of land-based bombers was removed, the US Navy ordered a revised design which entered service as the PV-2 Harpoon for anti-submarine work.
Development [ edit ]
Lockheed Ventura/B-34 Lexington [ edit ]
A USAAF B-34-VE in 1943.
The Ventura was very similar to its predecessor, the Lockheed Hudson. The primary difference was not in layout; rather, the Ventura was larger, heavier, and used more powerful engines than the Hudson. The RAF ordered 188 Venturas in February 1940, which were delivered from mid-1942. Venturas were initially used for daylight raids on occupied Europe but like some other RAF bombers, they proved too vulnerable without fighter escort, which was difficult to provide for long-range missions. Venturas were replaced by the faster de Havilland Mosquito. The Venturas were transferred to patrol duties with Coastal Command as the Mosquito replaced them in bomber squadrons; 30 went to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and some to the South African Air Force (SAAF). The RAF placed an order for 487 Ventura Mark IIs but many of these were diverted to the USAAF, which placed its own order for 200 Ventura Mark IIA as the B-34 Lexington, later renamed RB-34.
Lockheed B-37 [ edit ]
In August 1941, large orders for Venturas were placed with Lend-Lease Act money. Among the orders were for 550 armed reconnaissance versions of the Ventura. This aircraft was originally planned to be built under the designation O-56. The main differences between the Ventura and the O-56 were in the engines: rather than the 2,000 hp (1,491 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radials of the Ventura, the O-56 used 1,700 hp (1,270 kW) Wright R-2600-13 radials.
Before completion of the first O-56, the U.S. Army Air Forces dropped the "O-" category used to designate "observation" (reconnaissance) aircraft. The O-56 was redesignated the RB-34B (the R denoted 'restricted' meaning it was not to be used for combat). Before the first of these flew, the design was redesignated again as the B-37 with a higher powered version of the R-2600, later it also was designated the RB-37.
While 550 were ordered by the Army Air Forces, acquisition by the USAAF stopped after only 18 Venturas were accepted, when the Army Air Forces agreed to turn over exclusive use of the Ventura to the United States Navy.
PV-1 Ventura [ edit ]
A PV-1 Ventura
The PV-1 Ventura, built by the Vega Aircraft Company division of Lockheed (hence the "V" Navy manufacturer's letter that later replaced the "O" for Lockheed), was a version of the Ventura built for the U.S. Navy (see Venturas in U.S. Navy service below). The main differences between the PV-1 and the B-34 were the inclusion of special equipment in the PV-1, adapting it to its patrol bombing role. The maximum fuel capacity of the PV-1 was increased from 1,345 gal (5,081 l) to 1,607 gal (6,082 l), to increase its range; the forward defensive armament was also reduced for this reason. The most important addition was of an ASD-1 search radar.
Early production PV-1s still carried a bombardier's station behind the nose radome, with four side windows and a flat bomb-aiming panel underneath the nose. Late production PV-1s dispensed with this bombardier position and replaced it with a pack with three 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) machine guns underneath the nose. These aircraft could also carry eight 5-inch (127 mm) HVAR rockets on launchers underneath the wings.
The PV-1 began to be delivered in December 1942, and entered service in February 1943. The first squadron in combat was VP-135, deployed in the Aleutian Islands in April 1943. They were operated by three other squadrons in this theatre. From the Aleutians, they flew strikes against bases in Paramushiro and Shimushu, Japanese islands in the Kurile chain. Often, PV-1s would lead B-24 bomber formations, since they were equipped with radar. In late 1943, some PV-1s were deployed to the Solomon Islands as night fighters with VMF(N)-531, a Marine Corps fighter squadron.
PV-2 Harpoon [ edit ]

The PV-2 Harpoon was a major redesign of the Ventura with the wing area increased from 551 ft² (51.2 m²) to 686 ft² (63.7 m²) giving an increased load-carrying capability, and which first flew on 3 December 1943. The motivation for redesign was weaknesses in the PV-1, which had shown itself to have problems in taking off when carrying a full load of fuel. On the PV-2, the armament became standardized at five forward-firing machine guns. Many early PV-1s had a bombardier's position, which was deleted in the PV-2. Some other significant developments included the increase of the bombload by 30% to 4,000 lb (1,800 kg), and the ability to carry eight 5-inch (127 mm) HVAR rockets under the wings.
While the PV-2 was expected to have increased range and better takeoff, the anticipated speed statistics were projected lower than those of the PV-1, due to the use of the same engines but an increase in weight. The Navy ordered 500 examples, designating them with the popular name Harpoon.
Early tests indicated a tendency for the wings to wrinkle dangerously. As this problem could not be solved by a 6 ft (1.8 m) reduction in wingspan (making the wing uniformly flexible), a complete redesign of the wing was necessitated. This hurdle delayed entry of the PV-2 into service. The PV-2s already delivered were used for training purposes under the designation PV-2C. By the end of 1944, only 69 PV-2s had been delivered. They finally resumed when the redesign was complete. The first aircraft shipped were the PV-2D, which had eight forward-firing machine guns and was used in ground attacks. When World War II ended, all of the order was cancelled.
With the wing problems fixed, the PV-2 proved reliable, and eventually popular. It was first used in the Aleutians by VP-139, one of the squadrons that originally used the PV-1. It was used by a number of countries after the war’s end, but the United States ceased ordering new PV-2s, and they were all soon retired from service.
Civil conversions [ edit ]
Howard 350 executive conversion of the PV-1
Ex-military PV-1 Venturas from Canada and South Africa were converted by Howard Aero in San Antonio, Texas in the 1950s and 1960s as high-speed executive transports. The earliest conversions, called Super Venturas, incorporated a 48 in (122 cm) fuselage stretch, extra fuel tankage, large picture windows, luxury interiors, and weapons bays transformed into baggage compartments. The landing gear was swapped for the heavier-duty units from the PV-2. Later conversions, of which eighteen were completed in the 1960s,[1] were called Howard 350s.[2]
At least nineteen PV-1s were further modified, including cabin pressurization under the designation Howard 500.[3] A final PV-1 modification by Howard was the Eldorado 700, with longer wings, a pointed nose, and streamlined engine cowlings.
A notable crash of a civilian version occurred on December 17, 1954, killing four, including Fred Miller, president of the Miller Brewing Company and grandson of founder Frederick Miller. The company plane was bound for Winnipeg, Manitoba, but had trouble with both engines and crashed shortly after takeoff from Mitchell Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[4][5] Also killed were his oldest son, 20-year-old Fred, Jr., and the two company pilots, Joseph and Paul Laird.[6][7]
Operational history [ edit ]
Portuguese Air Force [ edit ]
The Portuguese Air Force received 42 Lockheed PV-2C Harpoons from 1953, which replaced the Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver as an anti-submarine aircraft. The Harpoons equipped squadrons 61 and 62 at the Montijo Air Base. In 1960, the Harpoons were replaced as maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft by Lockheed P2V-5 Neptunes. The remaining Harpoons were sent to Portuguese Angola and Mozambique, where they formed Squadron 91 operating from Luanda Air Base and Squadron 101 at Beira Air Base. The Harpoons were used on operations in the Angolan and Mozambican theatres of the Portuguese Overseas War (1961–1974). They served as mainly as light bombers and ground attack aircraft, with occasional reconnaissance, transport and maritime patrol sorties. The last Portuguese Harpoons were retired in 1975.[8] The Museu do Ar (Portuguese Air Museum) has what is believed to be the only remaining Lockheed PV-2C Harpoon in Europe.
Royal Air Force [ edit ]
The first Ventura Mark Is were accepted by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in September 1941, with aircraft being delivered to Britain from April 1942.[9][10] By the end of August, enough Venturas had arrived to equip No. 21 Squadron RAF, No. 487 Squadron RNZAF and No. 464 Squadron RAAF.[11] The Ventura flew its first operational mission for the RAF on 3 November 1942, when three Venturas of 21 Squadron attacked railway targets near Hengelo in the Netherlands.[12][13] On 6 December 1942, 47 Venturas from 21, 464 (RAAF) and 487 (RNZAF) squadrons participated in Operation Oyster, the large daylight 2 Group raid against the Philips radio and vacuum tube factories at Eindhoven. Also committed to the raid were 36 Bostons and 10 de Havilland Mosquitos.[14] Carrying incendiaries, they were placed in the third wave of aircraft, and suffered the highest rate of loss. Nine of the 47 Venturas were shot down and many others were damaged by flak or bird strikes. The force also lost four Bostons and one Mosquito.[15] Six months later on 3 May 1943 Venturas of 487 Squadron RNZAF were sent on Operation Ramrod 16, an attack on a power station in Amsterdam. The squadron was told the target was of such importance to Dutch morale that the attack was to be continued regardless of opposition. Significant problems developed coupling up with the escorting fighters, with the end result being that all 10 Venturas that crossed the coast were lost to German fighters. Squadron Leader Leonard Trent, (later the last of the Great Escapers), won the Victoria Cross for his leadership in this raid.
The Ventura was never very popular among RAF crews. Although it was 50 mph (80 km/h) faster and carried more than twice as many bombs as its predecessor, the Hudson, it proved unsatisfactory as a bomber. By the summer of 1943, the Ventura had been replaced by the de Havilland Mosquito. The last Ventura raid was flown by 21 Squadron on 9 September 1943. Some Venturas were modified to be used by Coastal Command as the Ventura G.R.I. and 387 PV-1s were used by the RAF as the Ventura G.R.V in the Mediterranean and by Coastal Command. Some RAF aircraft were modified into Ventura C.V transport aircraft. A small number of Venturas were also used in other air forces, including the RCAF, RNZAF and SAAF.
Royal Australian Air Force [ edit ]
In the United Kingdom, No. 464 Squadron RAAF was formed at RAF Feltwell to operate the Ventura as part of 2 Group, Bomber Command; it converted to the de Havilland Mosquito in September 1943. In the Mediterranean, No. 459 Squadron RAAF was equipped with the Ventura V between December 1943 to July 1944, flying mainly anti-submarine and anti-shipping patrols. In Australia, fifty-five PV-1s were supplied to the RAAF for use in the South West Pacific Area. No. 13 Squadron RAAF was the only operational squadron in Australia equipped with the Ventura. It operated primarily in north-eastern Queensland and then the Northern Territory, and later serving in the Borneo campaign in 1945. After the war, the squadron used its aircraft to help transport liberated prisoners of war.
Royal Canadian Air Force [ edit ]
A total of 157 Ventura G.R. Mk. Vs were used operationally by the RCAF from 16 June 1942 to 18 April 1947 in the home defence coastal patrol role in both Eastern and Western Air Command. They were flown by 8, 113, 115, 145, and 149 Squadrons. A further 21 Ventura Mk. Is and 108 Ventura Mk. IIs were used in a training role at 1 Central Flying School, Trenton, Ontario, and at RCAF Station Pennfield Ridge, New Brunswick (RAF No. 34 Operational Training Unit) as part of the BCATP. A total of 21 Mk. Is, 108 Mk. IIs, and 157 G.R. Mk. Vs were in service during this period for a total of 286 aircraft.
South African Air Force [ edit ]
The SAAF also received some 135 PV-1s, which were used to protect shipping around the Cape of Good Hope and to bomb Italian shipping in the Mediterranean. In December 1942 four SAAF Venturas dropped supplies to survivors of the Dunedin Star shipwreck on South-West Africa's Skeleton Coast. Venturas served in the South African Air Force until 1960.
Soviet Air Force [ edit ]
A few US Navy PV-1s force-landed in the Soviet Union after attacking Japanese targets on the Kurile islands and were impounded. Some of them were repaired and pressed into service by the Soviet Air Force where the type became known as the B-34. By December 1944, eight planes were located on airfields on Kamchatka: four were fully airworthy, three were undergoing repairs and one was a write-off.
By 1945 seven PV-1s (five of them being airworthy) were used by the Soviets, one plane was the personal liaison aircraft of Ltc M.A. Yeryomin. The planes were used during the Soviet-Japanese campaign in August 1945. After the end of the war only one aircraft remained in service.[citation needed]
Royal New Zealand Air Force [ edit ]
From August 1942, 487 Squadron RNZAF, (operating in Europe as part of the RAF), was equipped with the type, although losses (including on 3 May 1943 the loss of all 11 aircraft attacking Amsterdam), lead to their replacement with the de Havilland Mosquito in June.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force in the Pacific received 139 Venturas and some Harpoons from June 1943 to replace Lockheed Hudsons in the maritime patrol bomber and medium bomber roles. Initially Venturas were unpopular with the RNZAF due to rumoured poor performance on one engine, the fate of Squadron Leader Leonard Trent VC of 487 Squadron (above) as well as the failure of the U.S. to provide New Zealand with promised B-24 Liberators. Despite that the RNZAF Venturas came to be among the most widely used of any nation's, seeing substantial action until VJ Day over South West Pacific islands.
The first 19 RB-34s that arrived by sea from the U.S. in June had much equipment either missing or damaged. Six airworthy machines were hurriedly produced by cannibalization and sent into action with No. 3 Squadron RNZAF in Fiji. On 26 June the first PV-1s were flown to Whenuapai and No. 1 Squadron RNZAF was able to convert to 18 of these by 1 August, then replacing the mixed 3 Squadron in action at Henderson Field, Guadacanal in late October.
By this time No. 2 Squadron RNZAF at Ohakea and No. 9 Squadron RNZAF were also using the type. The following year No. 4 Squadron RNZAF and No. 8 Squadron RNZAF also received Venturas. Some squadrons were retained on garrison duty while others followed the allied advance to Emirau and Green Island and to New Britain. RNZAF Venturas were tasked with routine patrols, anti-shipping strikes, minelaying, bombing and strafing missions, air-sea rescue patrols, and photographic reconnaissance missions. In an apparently bizarre case of taking Lockheed's marketing slogan of The Fighter-Bomber too literally, even briefly, Venturas conducted fighter sweeps.
RNZAF machines often clashed with Japanese fighters, notably during an air-sea rescue patrol on Christmas Eve 1943. NZ4509 was attacked by nine Japanese single-engined fighters over St. George's Channel. It shot down three, later confirmed, and claimed two others as probables, although it suffered heavy damage in the action. The pilot, Flying Officer D. Ayson and navigator, Warrant Officer W. Williams, were awarded the DFC. The dorsal turret gunner Flight Sergeant G. Hannah was awarded the DFM.
By late 1944 the Ventura began to be phased out of front line action as the RNZAF backed away from the Patrol Bomber concept, orders for PV-2 Harpoons were canceled after a handful of aircraft had been delivered. At VJ Day only 30 PV-1 aircraft remained on the front-line with No. 3 Squadron at Jacquinot Bay.
Planned re-equipment with de Havilland Mosquitos did not take place until after the cessation of hostilities. The last Ventura unit was No. 2 Squadron, which continued to operate PV-1 and PV-2 aircraft on meteorological duty until 1948. A restored RNZAF RB-34 (NZ4600) is owned by the Museum of Transport and Technology in Auckland.
United States Army Air Forces [ edit ]
Some 264 Ventura Mark IIs ordered by the RAF were seized by the U.S. Army Air Forces. Though some were used as anti-submarine patrol bombers under the designation B-34 Lexington, most were used for training with various stateside units. 27 of these were used by the U.S. Navy for anti-submarine patrols as well; these were designated PV-1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon.
United States Navy [ edit ]
PV-1s of VPB-147 in the Caribbean in 1944.
During the early months of 1942, the primary responsibility for anti-submarine warfare in the United States was shouldered by the Army Air Forces. This irked the Navy, as it considered this region of battle its burden. To carry out such a task, the Navy was pursuing a long-range, land-based patrol and reconnaissance aircraft with a substantial bomb load. This goal was always resisted by the Army Air Forces, which carefully protected its monopoly on land-based bombing. This forced the navy to use long-range floatplanes for these roles. The Navy was unable to upgrade to more capable aircraft until the Army Air Forces needed the Navy plant in Renton, Washington to manufacture its Boeing B-29 Superfortress. In exchange for use of the Renton plant, the Army Air Forces would discontinue its objections to Naval land-based bombers, and provide aircraft to the Navy. One of the clauses of this agreement stated that production of the B-34 and B-37 by Lockheed would cease, and instead these resources would be directed at building a navalized version, the PV-1 Ventura.
The PV-1 began to be delivered in December 1942, and entered service in February 1943. The first squadron in combat was VP-135, deployed in the Aleutian Islands in April 1943. They were operated by three other squadrons in this theatre. From the Aleutians, they flew strikes against Paramushiro, a Japanese island. Often, PV-1s would lead B-24 bomber formations, since they were equipped with radar. In late 1943, PV-1s were deployed to the Solomon Islands and to the newly captured field at Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands. After the war, the U.S. Navy deemed many PV-1s as obsolete and the aircraft were sent to Naval Air Station Clinton, Oklahoma to be demilitarized and reduced to scrap.

Whether Ashkenazi Jews have a higher average intelligence than most ethnic groups, and if so, why, have been an occasional subjects of scientific controversy.
Studies have generally found Ashkenazi Jews to have an average IQ in the range of 107 to 115, and Ashkenazi Jews as a group have had successes in intellectual fields out of proportion to their numbers. A 2005 scientific paper, "Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence",[1] proposed that Jews as a group inherit higher verbal and mathematical intelligence and somewhat lower spatial intelligence than other ethnic groups, on the basis of inherited diseases and the peculiar economic situation of Ashkenazi Jews in the Middle Ages. Opposing this hypothesis are explanations for the congenital illnesses in terms of the founder effect and explanations of intellectual successes by reference to Jewish culture's promotion of scholarship and learning.
Evidence for a group difference in intelligence [ edit ]
The most direct evidence of a difference in intelligence among Ashkenazi Jews comes from psychometric tests. Different studies have found different results, but most have found well above-average verbal and mathematical intelligence in Ashkenazi Jews, along with somewhat below-average spatial intelligence,[2][3] producing an average IQ score in the range of roughly 107 to 115, well above the general mean of 100.[4][5][6] Cochran et al. calculated an average IQ of 112–115,[1] and Murray & Entine found 107–115.[8][9] A 1954 study found that 24 of the 28 (86%) children in the New York public school system who had an IQ of 170 or higher were Jewish. One study found that Ashkenazi Jews had only mediocre visual-spatial intelligence, about IQ 98, while a 1958 study of yeshiva students found that their verbal IQ (which includes verbal reasoning, comprehension, working memory, and mathematical computation) had a high median of 125.6.[6]
Another kind of evidence is that Ashkenazi Jews have had success disproportionate to their small population size in a variety of intellectually demanding fields, such as science, technology, politics, law, and commerce.[10][11] Only about 2% of the U.S. population is of full Ashkenazi Jewish descent,[1] but 27% of United States Nobel prize winners in the 20th century,[1][4] 25% of the winners of the Fields Medal (the top prize in mathematics),[8] 25% of ACM Turing Award winners,[1], and a quarter of Westinghouse Science Talent Search winners[8] have either full or partial Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Jews comprise up to one third of the student populace at Ivy League schools[10] and 30 percent of U.S. Supreme Court law clerks.[11]
Proposed genetic explanations [ edit ]
Assuming that there is a statistical difference in intelligence between Ashkenazi Jews and other ethnic groups, there still remains the question of how much of the difference is caused by genetic factors.[12]
"Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence" [ edit ]
"Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence",[1] a 2005 paper by Gregory Cochran, Jason Hardy, and Henry Harpending, put forth the conjecture that the unique conditions under which Ashkenazi Jews lived in medieval Europe selected for high verbal and mathematical intelligence but not spatial intelligence. Their paper has four main premises:
Today's Ashkenazi Jews have a higher average mathematical and verbal IQ and an unusual cognitive profile compared to other ethnic groups, including Sephardi and Oriental Jews. From roughly 800 to 1650 CE, Ashkenazi Jews in Europe were a mostly isolated genetic group. When Ashkenazi Jews married non-Jews, they usually left the Jewish community; few non-Jews married into the Jewish community. During the same period, laws barred Ashkenazi Jews from most jobs, including farming and crafts, and forced them into finance, management, and international trade. Wealthy Jews had several more children per family than poor Jews. So, genes for cognitive traits such as verbal and mathematical talent, which make a person successful in the few fields where Jews could work, were favored; genes for irrelevant traits, such as spatio-visual abilities, were supported by less selective pressure than in the general population. Over 1000 years, about 40 generations, even a small heritability, increasing IQ by 1/3 of a point in each generation, could produce a large effect.[13] Today's Ashkenazi Jews suffer from a number of congenital diseases and mutations at higher rates than most other ethnic groups; these include Tay–Sachs disease, Gaucher's disease,[14] Bloom's syndrome, and Fanconi anemia, and mutations at BRCA1 and BRCA2. These mutations' effects cluster in only a few metabolic pathways, suggesting that they arise from selective pressure rather than genetic drift. One cluster of these diseases affects sphingolipid storage, a secondary effect of which is increased growth of axons and dendrites. At least one of the diseases in this cluster, torsion dystonia, has been found to correlate with high IQ. Another cluster disrupts DNA repair, an extremely dangerous sort of mutation which is lethal in homozygotes. The authors speculate that these mutations give a cognitive benefit to heterozygotes by reducing inhibitions to neural growth, a benefit that would not outweigh its high costs except in an environment where it was strongly rewarded.
Other scientists gave the paper a mixed reception, ranging from outright dismissal to acknowledgement that the hypothesis might be true and merits further research.[15]
Other proposed genetic explanations [ edit ]
The enforcement of a religious norm requiring Jewish fathers to educate their sons, whose high cost caused voluntary conversions, might explain a large part of a reduction in the size of the Jewish population.[16] Persecution of European Jews may have fallen disproportionately on people of lower intelligence.[15]
Criticism of the genetic explanations [ edit ]
In medieval Ashkenazi society, wealth, social status, and occupation were largely inherited. The wealthy had more children than the poor, but it was difficult for people born into a poor social class to advance or enter a new occupation. Leading families held their positions for centuries. Without upward social mobility, genes for greater talent at calculation or languages would likely have had little effect on reproductive success. So, it is not clear that mathematical and verbal talents were the prime factors for success in the occupations to which Jews were limited at the time. Social connections, social acumen, willingness to take risks, and access to capital through both skill and nepotism could have played at least as great a role.[12]
On the other hand, controversial research by Gregory Clark has indicated that social mobility has been consistently low but non-negligible throughout history, and that social mobility was no lower in previous centuries than it has been in recent times.[17]
In the history of Jewish culture, the emphasis on scholarship came before the Jews turned from agriculture to urban occupations. This suggests that premise #3 of Cochran et al. may have the causal direction backward: mastery of written language enabled Jews to thrive in finance and international trade rather than the other way around.[12] Similar cultural traditions continue to the present day, possibly providing a non-genetic explanation for contemporary Ashkenazi Jews' high IQs and prevalence in intellectual fields.[12]
Genetic studies have suggested that most Ashkenazi Jewish congenital diseases arose from genetic drift after a population bottleneck, a phenomenon known as the founder effect, rather than from selective pressure favoring those genes as called for by the Cochran, et al. hypothesis.[12][18] To take one example, the mutation responsible for Tay–Sachs disease arose in the 8th or 9th century, when the Ashkenazi Jewish population in Europe was small, just before they spread throughout Europe. The high frequency of this disease among Ashkenazi Jews today might simply be the result of their not marrying outside their group, not because the gene for Tay–Sachs disease confers an advantage that more than makes up for the fact that the disease usually kills by age three.[12] However, an examination of the frequencies and locations of the genes for 21 Ashkenazi Jewish congenital diseases suggested that six of them do appear to result from selective pressure, including the mutation for Tay–Sachs disease.[18] There is still no evidence one way or the other about whether the reason for this is increased intelligence for commercial skills or something else.[19]
Evolutionary psychologist Steven Pinker suggested that "the most obvious test of a genetic cause of the Ashkenazi advantage would be a cross-adoption study that measured the adult IQ of children with Ashkenazi biological parents and gentile adoptive parents, and vice versa," but noted, "No such study exists, so [Cochran]'s evidence is circumstantial."[20]
Proposed cultural and historical explanations [ edit ]
One type of explanation for higher intelligence in Ashkenazi Jews is differences in culture which tend to promote cultivation of intellectual talents.
For example, after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Jewish culture replaced its emphasis on ritual with an emphasis on study and scholarship.[21] Unlike the surrounding cultures, most Jews, even farmers,[1] were taught to read and write in childhood. Talmudic scholarship became a leading key to social status. The Talmudic tradition may have made the Jews well suited for financial and managerial occupations at a time when these occupations provided new opportunities.[12]
Other proposed cultural explanations:
Talmudic scholarship was so respected in European Ashkenazi Jewish ghetto society that outstanding (though often poor) scholars were highly sought after as husbands for the daughters of even the wealthiest merchants, who could afford to support the married couples. A father who made it possible for the groom to devote himself to Talmud study was performing a mitzvah. This attitude provided selection pressure in favor of intellectual aptitude, and enhanced social mobility. [15] [22]
Ashkenazi Jews (as well as other ethnic Jews) were marginalized by pogroms and discrimination, and therefore had to put more effort to survive and be outstanding. [23]
The rise of Islamic civilization created demand for educated professionals with intellectual skills. According to Eckstein and Botticini, between 750 and 900 AD, nearly all the Jews in Mesopotamia and Persia left farming and moved to the big cities of the Abbasid Caliphate, where they specialized in jobs more lucrative than farming. Jews had a clear advantage in these professions as a result of centuries of literacy.[ citation needed ]

Garden and Nature in Words Same Track, Different Game Posted on December 14, 2012 by shanegenziuk 2 Comments It’s not the same game No finish line to pursue only to persist This haiku (5-7-5) is in recognition of the way that nature finds a way to undo all our good efforts of controlling her. Thick slabs of concrete are beaten down by the sun and wind, while weeds grow from out the tiniest foothold – later the bushes and trees turn over the earth until nothing remains of those things we built. The photo was taken one Winter’s day, a construction site that had been abandoned for about 5 months. See how towards the back, some bushes (possibly blackberry) are spreading across the ground, and the creeper on the left, making its way up a sheet metal wall? Those weeds on the footpath, claiming the gaps… Property rights aside, we try our best to claim land as part of the built environment, which at the slightest of opportunities returns to a natural state. When I look at buildings these days, all I see are ungrown trees. Plants are as aggressive in their pursuit of land as we are, and in our absence will clear away man made structures without difficulty. All that is needed is time, and they seem to keep to a schedule that doesn’t keep time with ours. When working on the design of my garden, I always keep in mind the invasive ability of those plants, and how they would take advantage of their placement, the relationships they would have with neighbouring plants, micro-climates, available water and soil nutrients. Having at least partial control helps to provide the most effective return on the productivity of those plants for food production. The image above is a small scale example of what happens in any place no longer tended by human hands. And the best places to see this happening are in abandoned cities and tows, now a living labratory of man made structures returning to nature. Places where the built environment becomes unbuilt. The image below is from within the greenhouse of a school in the ghost town of Pripyat near Chernobyl. This and the images of city decay that follow are from the very talented Timm Suess. And the local cinema – no longer serving popcorn and choc tops… And in this case, an abandoned mill in East Germany. A carpet of green has replaced the floor, and now trees are reaching upwards, in their never ending pursuit of sunlight. Those tree roots will break apart the fountains of the mill, while wind and rain will weaken the mortar that holds those bricks in place. Plants have their own way of reclaiming land, a slow and steady suffocation of space that was well rehearsed long before we arrived here. As long as plants persist; that their pollen fills the skies, their seeds lay dormant in the earth, and an aspiration to reach skywards, they will will continue to adapt and prosper – with us, or without.

Clevinger couldn’t contain his emotions after finally pitching in a big league game after elbow surgery, a lockout, a knee strain, and a rainout that had delayed his comeback for San Diego. Clevinger said Wednesday, his voice shaking as he fought back tears, “I wasn’t sure I was going to throw again.” “This is significant.” The Padres beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-4 in the first game of a doubleheader, with Clevinger pitching well in his first start since Tommy John surgery in 2020. Manny Machado blasted a two-run homer. Machado hit a two-run home run in the third inning off Zach Plesac (1-3), and Austin Nola’s go-ahead RBI double in the sixth gave the Padres their sixth win in seven games, all on the road. Steven Wilson (3-0) earned the victory despite walking two batters in the fifth inning, while Taylor Rogers earned his 10th save. Game 2 will be started by Padres rookie MacKenzie Gore against Cleveland’s Cal Quantrill. Clevinger, who underwent surgery not long after throwing in Game 1 of the National League Division Series two years ago — only months after being dealt from Cleveland to San Diego — was overjoyed to be back on the mound. The right-hander surrendered three runs and four hits against his old club and Plesac, one of his best pals. Before manager Bob Melvin withdrew Clevinger after 95 pitches, he was only one out away from a possible victory. The victory would have been nice, but Clevinger was grateful for the opportunity to participate again. “I can’t thank the individuals who have supported me enough,” Clevinger said as he stood in the hallway outside San Diego’s clubhouse between games. Clevinger, who pitched for Cleveland for four seasons until being dealt in 2020, was ahead 3-1 in the fifth inning when he walked Myles Straw with one out. With two outs, he replaced José Ramrez with Wilson, who gave up a walk and Josh Naylor’s tying two-run single. Melvin was urged by Clevinger to complete the inning. “I really appreciate Bob giving me an opportunity to go out and grab it, and I was campaigning hard for it, and I’m grateful he let me attempt to go after Josey that one more time,” Clevinger said. I was determined not to let him defeat me. “I was going to try to get him to swing outside the zone, and being the hitter that he is, I wasn’t going to let him tie the game up there, so I did what I had to do to him, and it just didn’t work out.” The Padres, on the other hand, responded with two runs in the sixth inning, thanks to Nola’s double off Enyel De Los Santos and Jake Cronenworth’s sacrifice fly. Clevinger’s comeback was pushed back a day after the first game of the series was postponed due to rain and a damp forecast on Tuesday. When Clevinger, dubbed “Sunshine,” finally hit the mound, the weather was not San Diego-like, with low-hanging clouds around Progressive Field throughout the early innings. In the third inning, Machado’s sixth home run put Clevinger and the Padres ahead 3-0. Cronenworth reached on a mistake by Naylor at first with one out before Machado, who batted.386 in April, blasted a 1-1 pitch over the center-field wall. DOZENS AND DOZENS OF BAKER’S DOZENS Terry Francona, the Guardians’ manager, greeted Dusty Baker’s 2,000th career victory with a broad grin and compliments. “I’m pleased for Dusty,” Francona, who had 1,792 victories before the day, remarked. “I think it’s incredibly nice when good things happen to decent people — and he clearly meets both criteria.” When the Houston Astros defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-0 on Tuesday night, Baker became the first Black manager to attain the milestone. He’s the 12th manager to achieve 2,000 wins, a milestone that ensures his Hall of Fame induction. ROOM FOR TRAINEES 1B, Padres In the first game of a rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, Luke Voit (biceps tightness) went 0-for-2 with a walk, run, and strikeout. When San Diego returns home, Voit might be activated off the injured list. INF: Guardians After being put on the COVID-19 list last month, Yu Chang is still in the minors. On Tuesday, Chang’s rehab assignment was moved to Triple-A Columbus. UP NEXT Padres: The Padres will return to San Diego for a weekend series against the Miami Marlins. Nick Martinez (1-2) takes the mound against Marlins RHP Jess Luzardo on Thursday (2-1). On Thursday, the Guardians begin a four-game home series against Toronto, starting Aaron Civale (0-2) against Blue Jays RHP José Berros (2-0). Mike Clevinger has been on the disabled list since May 2017, but he’s back and pitching better than ever. The San Diego Padres pitcher was impressive in his return from Tommy John surgery with a 5-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. Reference: what happened to clevinger catch-22.

The Sun-IBM merger hasn't been finalized but there's little doubt this week that the deal is coming together. Many are looking for clues as to how open source, Java-based development will change -- and change it will -- under the Big Blue Sun.
In the last few years, Sun Microsystems has warmed up to open-sourcing its software. In 2006, Sun opened up Java, and in 2007 it open-sourced most of Solaris under the GPLv3. Smaller, side projects, like NetBeans, the Java-based IDE were open-sourced as early as 2001. Sun has also long allowed developers at least some say in the progress of Java, through the Java Community Process. Historically, though, Sun has had a well-documented love/hate relationship with open source.
IBM has had a closer relationship with open source, but it wasn't always that way. In December of 1998, IBM realized that it needed to take a closer look at open source thanks to its customers beginning to pick up Linux. Before that, according to Peter G. Capek of IBM Research, IBM handled open source on a case-by-case basis.
At first, IBM software developers were "skeptical that the quality of the open-source software produced could be sufficient to be relevant to us and our customers." But, the company quickly discovered the benefits of open source software:
this development style attracted very skilled developers, and that the overlap between developers and users of a particular OSS project made possible excellent and open communication, rapid development cycles, and intensive real-environment testing, ultimately producing software that was often very good and sometimes excellent by our standards.
It also didn't hurt that developers clearly wanted open-source software, Capek said.
IBM had released a binary-only version for UNIX of Jikes (a compiler for Java), through our alphaWorks Web site in early 1997. This was quite successful, but its success was only a prelude to the release of a Linux version of the same code in mid-July 1998, which was downloaded at seven times the rate of the non-Linux versions. Requests for the source code followed rapidly.
It didn't take long, after that, for IBM to convert to open source. While the company has never released its own Linux distribution, in 2008, 8.3% of all changes in the latest Linux kernel came from IBM developers. Only Red Hat and Novell, with 11.2% and 8.9%, had invested more work in Linux.
IBM also has invested in quite a few open source Java projects. It is a major player in the Apache Web server space. Among its other Apache projects is Derby, a lightweight, Java-based RDBMS. The popular Eclipse IDE also started as an IBM project.
Let's hear it What do you think -- how will Java-based development change under IBM? Speak your mind in the Comments section at the end of this article.
So what will all this mean when IBM and Sun get together? Opinions vary. Miko Matsumura, Sun's former chief Java evangelist and now a VP and deputy CTO of Software AG believes that the merge means the end of the NetBeans IDE. Furthermore, he believes the Java Community Process, weakened by recent controversies over OSGi and Java modularity, will die.
Steve [Mills, senior vice president and group executive for IBM Software Group] isn't going to come down from Mount Armonk with these commandments, but with Sun out of the picture these two communities are just going to come apart at the seams.
OSGi and Java modularity debate aside, not everyone believes that IBM's stewardship spells the end of open source Java. Chris Dibona, Google's open-source program manager, recently opined that there would be fewer developer and licensing conflicts with IBM in charge of the JCP.
Habeel Gazi, research analyst with Info-Tech Research Group thinks the acquisition makes great sense for IBM when it comes to Java, "Sun's crown jewel is the Java programming language. Having possession of Java will give IBM control of a platform that drives many applications."
So why hasn't Sun made more of Java? Theresa Lanowitz, founder of Voke Research reflects on Sun's weakness as a software-driven company: "Sun is a company that had and has very good software technology but has never found a way to monetize it," she says. "Sun remains stuck in its glory days and because of that its business has failed to evolve -- Sun perceives software as a way to sell more hardware."
Lanowitz thinks IBM will do better with Java than Sun because, actually, it always has. "Java, one of Sun's biggest contributions to technology, found its success in the market because of two key licensors early on -- IBM and Microsoft."
According to Lanowitz, "developers will benefit from IBM's stewardship of Sun technology, particularly its open source solutions. IBM will productize the acquired Sun assets and find a way for its ecosystem of partners and suppliers to benefit. You can expect Sun's software to become a business vs. an academic exercise."
While the merge might benefit developers in the long run, the culture clash between two very different companies is a concern. In a discussion with James Stamper of Computer Business Review, James Gosling warned of the challenges of integration. "We're definitely weirder than they are," said Gosling. "We grew up from a bunch of hippies, almost with flowers in our hair."
Still, the company has evolved from those early days, said Gosling. "We're a much more grown-up company now [than when Sun was founded] with a very different group of people. We've become a full-on enterprise software company."
Geoff Feldman, owner of Seabase Consulting, isn't optimistic about the merge. Feldman expects Sun to get "What VAX/VMS and DEC got from HP -- absorption."
Feldman said, "Let's not forget that unlike other alternatives, Java is not an open standard. It's entirely under the control of Sun." Given the same conditions of ownership under IBM, he warned, "I think you can look for very much tighter approaches to licenses and cooperation [...] People forget the days of 'Big Blue.' Do you think they actually ended?" | positive |

Back to Top Google Rating 4.9 Based on 1497 reviews Absolute Air 4.9 × Elsie Wong 19:17 23 Aug 22 Our technician, Shay Rayburn, was excellent. Super informative, went above and beyond, and help us understand what needed to fixed to help our AC unit run better. I was grateful for his expertise. He was super nice and did great work. Thanks Shay! Robert Carter 19:50 08 Aug 22 Caleb was patient to explain things to so I understood the issues with my AC and heater . helped me make informed choices. Thanks for a quick response. Dennis was very informative and professional in every way. He installed a surge protector while he was here for a service. Anna Lochlann 20:39 27 Jul 22 I have found that this company continues to improve in all areas they already do well at. I appreciate how the technicians typically treat their work as more than a job, that they strive to personally excel at what they do. I've had some mysterious and rare issues with my furnace and hot water heater over the years and the technicians from this company have consistently shown a drive to take the challenge on and call on the experience of their teammates to try to solve the issues with my system. Thank you for your hard work. Blair Harris 20:38 27 Jun 22 We have two units that heat and cool our home. Our main floor unit went out on what would be a very hot day. I Googled repair companies and decided to call Absolute Air based on reviews. I call them and the girl who took my call was so friendly! She was able to get someone out that same day. The technician was really nice, and honest. The fix ended up being an easy fix, and he also tuned up our furnace and cleaned out our other unit. 2 days later our air conditioner for our upstairs stopped working, so we called Absolute Air back out. The new technician was also very nice and honest. Unfortunately this fix wasn't as easy, as our upstairs 30 year old furnace's blower had seized up. He said he could fix it but did let me know that it may be a good time to think about a new furnace, since furnaces don't typically last that long. We decided to have them call out their furnace salesman, who was just so wonderful to work with. Never once in all of my/our interactions with the technicians, or salesman did we feel like we were being jerked around. The salesman, Mike, was so easy to work with, kind, and helpful. He helped us find a product that we were comfortable paying for and worked for our needs. I was so pleasantly surprised. They were able to get it installed only 2 days later! I have been so impressed with this company, I would highly recommend them to someone needing maintenance, fixes or new equipment. We will definitely use them again on other future needs!! Jody Criman 16:49 10 Jun 22 The technician arrived on time and was friendly and very helpful. He explained what he was doing and why. I will use them again for future needs. ... this is an update. Just had them service my AC. Happy with the work and time they spent with me. Again, I will continue to use them. Catherine Crofts 16:31 02 Jun 22 The service with Absolute Heat, Air, and water is excellent! Rex was very thorough, patient, and caring in his presentation of what was available and what was best for our needs.We had Dennis as a technician at our home last year, he was very thorough and awesome to work with! He answered our questions and had our A/C running and cooling our house in a short time. We also talked with Rex about updating our A/C and furnace but we decided to wait until this year. Our system quit working last weekend. After we talked to Rex they were awesome in getting our system in the next day! Thanks Rex for making it happen! We love the people at Absolute! Thanks to Matt, Zach, and Aaron in getting a job well done! We missed not having the technician Dennis here this time! Robert Carter 22:30 09 May 22 Caleb was patient to explain things to so I understood the issues with my AC and heater . helped me make informed choices. Thanks for a quick response. Dennis was very informative and professional in every way. He installed a surge protector while he was here for a service. C Snyder 00:54 01 May 22 Caleb was awesome and very knowledgeable!! He even took the time to explain and show us our system along with checking out the water heater and making suggestions to get the most out of our equipment. Really happy with this company and happy with the work so far. Emily Westphal 03:43 30 Apr 22 Our salesmen and technicians were amazing. Our Tech kept me up to date as to what was going on and the progress was being made. Our utility closet is tiny, so they had to take extra time to make sure the new system fit and operated without issue. I am so so very happy with their service!! Genuinely, the price and the service has been the best we have ever received!!Thank you to the team!! Wayne Price 21:27 17 Mar 22 Absolute Air has been fantastic to work with. During a routine inspection they found issues with my HVAC system, and we determined that the whole thing needed replacing (it was an 18-year-old system, and the inspection before suggested this might be on the way). They made honest recommendations and were able to get me a quote quickly. Even better, they were able to do the install within days of ordering. The install went faster than I expected, and they left my equipment room cleaner than when they started. The crew was professional and knowledgeable. Bobi Chase 06:20 28 Feb 22 This guys are awesome. Came out and quickly and efficiently fixed our furnace. Clark was friendly and very helpful. Can’t wait to work with you again. Thank you so much for keeping my sick baby warm:) ruth bermudez 22:16 22 Jan 22 I am so impressed by Absolute. They did exceptional work! I had a great experience specifically with Caleb, Ethan, Dusty, Jesse, and even the office ladies such as Kassidy. They fixed my A/C, furnace, and water heater all in one day! I would 100% recommend this business! Thank you! Rob Caldwell 22:24 30 Nov 21 It was a pleasure to work with Absolute Air and their service tech Clark. He was knowledgeable, easy to work with, quick and an overall good guy.I really liked the text messages I received letting me know about when Clark would arrive and the bio and background about him was an unexpected and nice touch!They were able to fit me in same-day and I really appreciated that the most!Thanks a lot! Kate alusa 18:47 30 Nov 21 Fantastic customer service!! Jesse came through and explained all of our options for a new furnace. He wasn’t rushed or pushy, he’s friendly, informative and accommodating.Wyatt and Josue installed our new system. They were quick, professional and kind. Wyatt took the time to answer any questions I had and made sure I was comfortable with operating our new system. Ashley Nielsen 19:44 24 Nov 21 Absolute Air was great to work with. They worked well around my busy schedule, were reasonably priced, and professional. Brad, my tech, was very nice and knowledgeable. Very pleased with the service call and happily signed up for the yearly maintenance program because I trust the service. You always prep to be told a service call will cost more because XYZ… I didn’t have any pressure like that- thank you! Ken Baker 21:09 10 Nov 21 I had a great experience with absolute air. I arranged for a furnace tuneup, and from the time I scheduled until the time the technician left, there was great communication. The tech that performed the service was very professional, communicated clearly with me throughout the entire process, and offered good advice for the future. I’ll be calling them again for future service. Millard Fam 18:51 01 Nov 21 We loved using this company to fill our furnace needs. We had a small diagnosis issue but they bent over backwards to make everything right. I would call them again! Highly recommend! Garrett Clements 18:50 12 Aug 21 Absolute has been great to work with! Our A/C went out this summer and they have been great. Our system was 30 years old and ended up needing to go which isn't fun, but they did everything they could to make the process painless. Even spending time to show my toddler what they were doing because he was super interested. Thanks to Mike, Clarke, and Dustin, for everything they did! (There was one other rep but I didn't catch his name, so thank you to random citizen!) Kristi Dorrity 01:14 11 Jun 21 I'm very pleased with the service and quality. Very professional and quick response. I've had some terrible experiences lately but these guys restored my faith in quality service. Outstanding installation team that treated my home, pets and my family with so much respect. THANK YOU! Kalin Wall 21:12 23 Apr 21 Great experience. The office is a little on the slow side for responsiveness but that doesn't bother me at all and the technicians are really great. Nice and considerate, it only took them about 45 min to install a water softener for us. It was well done and their policies are great in case anything goes wrong or needs adjustment in the future. On top of all that, minus the equipment cost, final price was only around $500 which I will gladly pay to have an expert do the job. Great company all around from my experience. Becca Lynn 15:30 10 Apr 21 I would highly recommend Absolute Air to anyone! We had our furnace replaced and had them install AC to our home. They did an excellent job and were very professional. I feel it was upfront pricing with different options to pick from for what we wanted done. I will use them again in the future when needed. Thank you guys! Martha Richardson 19:23 30 Mar 21 Cliff was very professional! He was patient in answering all questions, and giving us knowledge about our system. Provided options for future maintenance, but never pushed any products or systems. Will be looking at info provided and make an informed decision! Definitely worth the money and will use consistently from now on!! Susan Tanner 21:33 11 Feb 21 The service man was thorough and courteous. He called before he came and sent his photo so I would recognize him at the door. He recommended services but did not push them on us. Ann 19:36 10 Feb 21 I have nothing but good experiences and good things to say about my experience with Absolute Air. I moved here from New York City and went through a long process of trying out multiple companies for A/C and furnace maintenance and repair before settling on this company. While I didn't have any major or consistently negative experiences with the other companies, there were nagging issues that would crop up, like seemingly high employee turn-over or technicians who knew how to perform aspects of their job but couldn't really answer my questions, or no one calling me to say their tech had an emergency repair that would push their arrival time to nearly the end of the time window.I haven't had any of those issues to date with Absolute Air. They have been helpful, come within their time window, call or text (with the name and picture of the technician) shortly before the tech arrives, and the technicians and office staff have been friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I am so happy I've found this company.Shout out to CJ who did the maintenance check on my furnace today for being pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. Keep it up Absolute Air!2021 Update: Absolute Air continues to impress me. Each technician I've met with has been knowledgeable, courteous and truly went beyond the extra mile each time an issue came up. This company just keeps getting better. Thank you! Christine 07:13 10 Feb 21 My experience with Absolute Air was exceptional! I felt completely comfortable having the employees in my home while I was at work. The work completed was explained in detail so I would have a working knowledge of my new systems. Great care was taken in protecting my carpets and outdoor areas. The old equipment was taken away so I didn’t have to worry about hauling it away! Excellent service, excellent employees, excellent equipment!!! (Bonus-they even hauled away my old water heater that was left behind by someone else)! I now have peace of mind that everything is up to code! Frank Ford 18:22 22 Jan 21 Clark was the serviceman that came to my house. He was prompt, very professional and personable. Did a great job cleaning the furnace and installing a new air filter....he did a thorough job checking the entire system...basically gave it a clean bill of health with a couple of things to be aware of in the mean time.When summer comes I will have them return to make sure the central air system is working properly.These people are honest and good at what they do....Excellent company....I want them to take care of my future heating and A/C needs....2 thumbs up👍👍 Martha Richardson 19:09 19 Jan 21 Cliff was very professional! He was patient in answering all questions, and giving us knowledge about our system. Provided options for future maintenance, but never pushed any products or systems. Will be looking at info provided and make an informed decision! Definitely worth the money and will use consistently from now on!! Jeff Toone 18:50 07 Jan 21 Michael came to tuneup our furnace. We have a 20 yr old furnace and he didn’t recommend replacing it, but rather showed us a few things he could do to get it running better. He did just that. The furnace is working great and we think we have a few more years before we’ll have to replace it. He was very knowledgeable and kind and I highly recommend him and Absolute Air. Rachel Benson 02:24 03 Dec 20 I was offered a discounted service call by Home Depot. I figured they would try to sell me on a new furnace and they did offer that option but their technician was not at all pushy and did actually more than I expected when he was at my house. He even taught me how to use my Nest thermostat. He was very knowledgeable, polite and helpful. I opted not to buy more than the service call and I paid a diagnostic fee for a problem with one of our furnaces. I was impressed with the service but wanted to wait before doing repairs. Karin Patrick 00:36 18 Nov 20 Jensen was very professional and wore a mask and foot covers in our home. After the service, he explained everything we needed to know for future actions. Jesse was also able to give us info about new systems and what to expect from our current one. Very friendly and easy to talk to. Rachael Lamprecht 23:16 23 Oct 20 Jensen was great! He came early, quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. He had lots of great advice for keeping the system well maintained and in good shape. He was very kind and respectful of my home. Ron Irvine 01:27 29 Sep 20 Rex Pinell explained what we needed and gave us a great price. He left no question unanswered -- a true professional.Andrew and Joshua are priceless! On time, fast, hard workers. Installed complete HVAC system in less than one day while maintaining Covid-19 masking and distancing requirements without fail.They are always welcome here!Absolute Air has our business unequivocally. Chad Roberts 16:45 18 Sep 20 I am updating my review for Absolute Air. When I posted my original review we were contacted by Absolute Air apologizing for the misunderstanding. They had someone come out within a couple of days with no extra charge and just sent a follow up out today. That is above and beyond service and what I was hoping for. We are glad we have found a good a/company and have already referred people. Trish Johnson 17:19 16 Sep 20 We have used these guys multiple times, for several different projects. We have had a great experience each time. They are knowledgeable, have fair pricing and easy to work with. Best of all, the work they have done has been top notch. Joseph Smiley 21:59 15 Sep 20 I’m not much for leaving a review, but I wanted to take the time to thank our technician Shay and Absolute Air as a company for their professionalism and exceptional customer service! Initially I called Absolute Air to get an estimate do my HVAC system. The receptionist was empathetic to our situation and said that they were booked a couple of days out, but would keep me posted if an earlier time became available. Sure enough, she called me and said a spot cams available the next day! Then once Shay arrived, he was very personable and provided me some basic tips I could do to preserve my HVAC system. At this point, I felt no need for any additional competitor quotes. They earned a customer and a referral source for life! Thank you Absolute Air for your exceptional customer service! Jim Smith 17:09 13 Sep 20 Mike and Hector tuned-up our furnaces and A/C units in St George, UT. They did a great job! They were friendly, efficient and informative. We look forward to working with them in the future when we have HVAC needs. They are 5 star all the way!Jim & Sheila Smith Megan Hepworth 21:26 11 Sep 20 Caleb was knowledgeable, on time and willing to answer questions. He was courteous wearing a mask and booties while inside and explained everything. Will be using them again. Maurice Rokovitz 19:28 11 Sep 20 Absolute Air worked with us to provide a quote and was professional and responsive. Paul Redd 08:21 11 Sep 20 Shay recommended an air scrubber which he promptly installed. We are most pleased with the air quality now in our home! Joann Murphy 20:02 10 Sep 20 The tech was very thorough. He detected a problem with the surge protector and repaired it. Very happy with the service. Anna Turley 22:34 25 Aug 20 Shay was professional, explained the mechanical operations involved and was friendly. We appreciate knowing our options and not feeling pressured in making our decision. Josh F. 19:59 25 Aug 20 Our technician Tom was very professional and understanding. We actually missed his arrival, but he was willing to reschedule with us.He was quick, friendly, and gave us helpful advice. AC works a lot better now. Glenda Owens 22:06 05 Aug 20 Absolute Air is great! On time, very efficient, explained everything done. Technician very kind, quiet and went right to work. Wore shoe covers and mask. 5 stars for him😊 Kim Larsen 02:09 02 Aug 20 I was very impressed with the serviceman's knowledge and experience as well as how fast he was able to repair our air conditioner. I was thankful to not have to suffer through Utah heat for long. Peter B Robinson 02:05 02 Aug 20 Caleb was great. He called to let us know he was coming, and texted before got here (so did the office).When he got here he wore a mask an booties, and was very thorough and professional the entire time he was with us. He gave us a firm price before starting any work and provided an assignment of the condition of our equipment. Friendly, yes Leslie Garside 23:45 01 Aug 20 Hottest day of the year and my a/c starts to blow warm air. Not what you want to have happen. I called Absolute Air hoping they could come early next week and they were able to come today! Caleb showed up and put on his shoe covers and looked at the furnace and thermostat then back to the a/c unit. He quickly found the problem and then spent a good hour trying to get into their warehouse to get the part. He finally was able to get ahold of someone and they let him in for the part. He quickly installed it and I could feel the cool air immediately. He did a great job. He went out of his way to make it so I could sleep in cool air tonight and was very kind. He is a great employee and I will use them again because he did such an amazing job on a hot long Saturday. Brooke Greathead 16:35 08 Jul 20 Colten was very quick at diagnosing the issue with our AC unit and fixing the problem. I was impressed with his knowledge of cooling and heating systems. He was able to explain things clearly to me and provide me with different options. Thanks to him our house is once again cool. linda Peterson 00:56 26 Jun 20 Dennis is friendly and professional. I felt comfortable with him doing work on the house, which I haven't always felt comfortable with some of the technitions other companies have sent out. I would recommend him to anyone, and will definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Dennis was honest about what needed to be done. We have an old AC unit that will have the be replaced in the next few years, but he gave us several options, and several price quotes, which I really appreciated. We decided to go with the cheaper option for the time being, and have a few parts replaced, and see if we can't get a little more life out of our old AC. Dennis agreed that this option would probably be worth it. He came back a second time to detail our furnace, and work on a few other things. Both times he did an awesome job! He does really good work, and creates a positive experience. 👍👍 Kirk Tanner 15:49 16 Jun 20 They were very professional and knowledgeable. They were very respectful of our home. Their knowledge of our heating and cooling systems was impressive. I felt that they were also very honest in their assessment of the condition of our systems. I never felt pressured to buy more service or products. I was impressed. PenLar Humphreys 18:11 03 Jun 20 Caleb was very thorough in checking out our system. He kept me informed of his progress and findings as he went along. He was polite, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Absolute Air. Lance Robinson 23:24 27 May 20 Great company and solid leadership. Using great products, showing up on time and great name in the industry. Highly recommend Grant Sumsion 18:55 11 May 20 I have been using Absolute Air for 4 years now. They installed a brand new Lennox A/C and Furnace system for me which has performed exceptionally. It has been extremely cost efficient while keeping our home comfortable all year round. I have used them for regular check-ups of this unit as well as maintenance of our other much older system. Their technicians have always been professional and knowledgeable. Caleb was the most recent technician to visit my home. He was courteous, professional and helpful in all of his interactions and instructions. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for any of their services or products. Outstanding and 5-Stars all day, every day!! Benjamin Young 18:28 01 May 20 Since moving to Provo a few years ago, we've tried a handful of HVAC companies, looking for someone we could trust and rely upon. Thanks to the fantastic service Dennis from Absolute Air provided us today, we have found the company we want to stick with!Dennis was respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. He carefully walked me through our options and was never pushy. As a result of our conversation, we'll be able to bring our system up to tip-top shape with Absolute Air doing additional work beyond the routine maintenance checkup.All in all, I'm grateful to have chosen Absolute Air as our preferred HVAC partner! Richard Hill 20:33 27 Apr 20 Caleb was terrific! He finished the spring tune-up on our air conditioning units and was very informative about what adjustments he had done.He was fully masked and sensitive to the COVID-19 issues. I highly recommend Absolute Air and Caleb! Hannah Huntington 17:39 14 Apr 20 We waited over the weekend without a water heater, which was fine. When Dennis came, he went out of his way for parts and made sure everything that needed to be done was done- and only charged us the minimum service fee. I will definitely use him again. I have been with Absolute Air since we moved here 10 years ago and have never been disappointed. Jackie Drage 21:44 17 Mar 20 Our technician today, Caleb, was friendly and efficient. We were pleased with this routine service call and with Absolute Air in general. Great job! Barry and Jackie Drage joni donithorne 16:00 09 Mar 20 Caleb with Absolute Air was the best! He was prompt, efficient and kind. He went above and beyond what was expected. He made sure everything was In working order and took the time to show me how to properly care for my heater. Christine Minch 08:16 19 Feb 20 Blake was neat, polite, and knowledgeable. He explained thing thoroughly and only took about 30 minutes. He didn’t try to up sell and he showed me how to take care of the things an owner is safe to handle.Caleb is also great. Techs from this company are thorough and always use shoe protectors. Suzanne Richmond 02:05 25 Jan 20 I Came home to a freezing cold house. Last thing I wanted after a long hard day was to find my furnace not working. I called Absolute and they were at my home in under an hour. Caleb my technician was very professional and courteous. He was very knowledgeable about my furnace. Even though the part had to be ordered, he made sure he was there tonight as soon as I came home and now my house is warm and cozy again! Thank you Caleb Skyler J 23:58 21 Jan 20 I am extremely impressed by Caleb! WOW! The office contacted me when he was about 15 minutes away (Thank you office girls!) and he was right on time, we couldn't of had more perfect timing. Caleb got into the attic and serviced my HVAC unit and even fixed my thermostat. He did an excellent job and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience with him.. The cost of all this was BEYOND FAIR! I felt a little bad because the attic is a tight squeeze! I will definitely be using Absolute Air for all of my plumbing, heating and cooling needs in the future! These guys are the best! Bob Black 22:09 21 Jan 20 Fair quote on a big insulation job, right in line with competitors. Scheduled it for the day after we accepted the bid. Workmen were in and out in under 4 hours. We now have R60 insulation including over the garage. Matt even enlarged the doghouse in the attic so the next crew has easier access to the whole structure. Great crew, great work! Ivette Mehl 02:12 01 Jan 20 Could not have been more pleased with kori our receptionist, and with Denise our technician, they are prompt, helpful and very professional. Our expansion tank was shooting high pressure water. I called around 3:30pm on New Year’s Eve, Dennise was at our door within two hours ready to work. I will continue to contact them for any future needs. We highly recommend them. Alyssa Rock 21:47 30 Dec 19 They came in a timely manner with excellent appointment system and reasonable notifications of when the technician would arrive. The technician explained everything thoroughly and fairly and we felt like we were being given an honest, competent assessment. Great work! Jake Featherstone 20:12 18 Dec 19 Steve from Absolute Air was professional and courteous, explained things well and was not too pushy about any of the services they offer. He did a great job and I felt confident in his knowledge and the care he took with us. Susan White 22:21 04 Dec 19 Michael was thorough, knowledgeable, professional, happy, and helpful. Basically perfect! From the day I signed up the communication has been timely and spot on! It’s rare these days to find businesses with such high quality. I signed up to have Absolute service my heating and air from now on. And they do so much more!! Very happy me!!! Josette Harding 17:41 20 Nov 19 Colton came on time. Was quick at cleaning and checking my furnaces. Made some suggestions for future repairs. Explained everything really well and left after cleaning everything up and leaving everything nice and clean. Cyndy Smith 15:33 20 Nov 19 Absolute Air is a great company. There staffIn the field are extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this company for any furnace repair. These guys and gals are great🤠 Katie Burris 20:09 07 Nov 19 Absolute air was great to work with. From the first appointment through furnace replacement. Skylar, our technician was great. He was friendly, knew his stuff and worked quickly. He kept me notified and cleaned up after he was finished. Would definitely recommend Skylar and Absolute Air, we are very happy with their work! Garth Bird 18:33 07 Nov 19 During the last two weeks, we have had our furnace inspected and our water heater serviced by Absolute Air technicians. (1) Even though we are on-going customers, we were given the "introductory rate" in both cases. Other companies have a low, low rate to snag new customers, then the steady customers pay a jacked up price to even things out. I appreciate that everyone gets a good deal with this company.(2) No one at absolute air has tried to "up sell" us ever. If you ask, they will tell you any problems they discovered, and tell you how to remedy the problem with several alternatives. I have never felt pressured by any of their technicians, ever.(3) Many companies "save" money by using apprentice technicians. Absolute Air uses apprentices which builds the trade, but they are carefully supervised by journeymen technicians, as they are supposed to be. A master plumber came out to service my water heater. Crystal Vivian 20:32 20 Sep 19 Easy to schedule an appointment, awesome tracker that lets you know when the tech is on their way. Shay was really friendly and knowledgeable, not pushy and went through a detailed inspection before making a recommendation. He took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions Mark Slight 18:31 09 Sep 19 From the exceptionally thorough and detailed salesman (Ken) who spoke to you with respect, to the installers (Merle and Zane) who treated the installation as it was their own home and were punctual, clean and very detailed, we couldn't have selected a better company to have install our completely brand new system (duct work, AC and furnace) in our remodel. We had 5 bids and Absolute was far and above the best to deal with. Don't look any further. Lane Brown 22:15 06 Sep 19 Absolute Air is amazing. My technician Shay really knew what he was talking about. One of the many great things about our visit was he didn’t pressure me to buy anything that I don’t necessarily need at this point in time. He clearly explained the status of my furnace and went over replacement options if I decide to go that route. I would highly recommend Absolute Air! J and H Miner 17:26 24 Aug 19 We had a great experience with Absolute Air. From the time I made my after hours call when our AC stopped working to the time it was fixed and running again was only like an hour and a half. Our service tech Colten was so friendly and knowledgeable, he answered all our questions and was great explaining everything about the repair. I will definitely call them again the next time I need a AC repair, or heating repair done. Lindsey Christensen 19:07 23 Aug 19 Absolute Air is amazing! They were able to fix our AC within 24 hours of us calling. I appreciated the updates to let us know when the technician was arriving and everyone I interacted with was polite and helpful. Mara Holbrook 16:16 20 Aug 19 Matt and Scott were great to work with. They installed a new AC and furnace for us and were quick, efficient and friendly. They answered questions we had and even came out a few times to fix some noise that our old ducting was making. We love our new unit and this company was great to work with. I would definitely recommend to others. Lisa Leavitt 04:16 14 Aug 19 Absolute air has been taking care of my furnace and air conditioner for about seven years. They are awesome! Always on time, very polite, very invested in customer service. They always do a good job and explain everything. Reasonable pricing as well Adam Sevy 23:01 13 Aug 19 Absolute air was phenomenal to work with. Their communication was clear and on point from the start. I loved the text reminders and ability to reschedule over text. Everyone I spoke to including the technician were very friendly and professional. I would highly recommended Absolute air! Matt W 23:42 08 Aug 19 Dennis came out in response to my request for someone who could help solve the great temperature difference between basement and main. He found several issues and resolved them all, and explained each to me. Great work! Landon Johnson 21:12 08 Aug 19 The run capacitor on our AC unit went out, Dennis came after hours and quickly diagnosed the issue. Dennis explained everything he was checking and was very knowledgeable, answering any other questions that I had. Our house is no longer 80 degrees! Jon Wadley 23:51 06 Aug 19 Our 13 year old AC unit died in the middle of one of the hottest weeks of the summer and we called Absolute Air based solely on the huge amount of positive Google reviews. We are so glad we did! They worked hard to determine the best system for our home and budget, and got everything installed in short order and with the utmost professionalism. They were great to work with and our home is now cool and comfortable again. We highly recommend Absolute Air! Mike Nielson 18:00 04 Aug 19 They were wonderful! Personable, detail oriented, friendly. They were not robots.Colten was also personable, friendly, skilled and knew what to do instantly. Yes! If a next time. The text they sent with tech photo, name gave a lot of security. Craig Friant 13:44 30 Jul 19 Our water heater is leaking. They came out to fix it and charged us $400 to fix it. They replaced a part and when I got home to check it they replaced a part that didn't need to be replaced and didn't even touch the leak. I tried calling the office too see if they can come back out and fix it but nobody will answer the phone.Update. The technician called back and came out early the next day. He looked at the leak and fixed it pretty quickly. The office also called back to resolve the issue. They said they will reimburse the money we spent on the earlier repair because it wasn't the issue. Good customer service and they were friendly and helpful. David Luke 00:24 13 Jul 19 I highly recommend Absolute Air. I first had them check out my 14 year old system about 2 years ago. Tom W. was exceptional as the technician. Subsequently, I had them replace my whole system. Nothing but high praises for their professionalism. For the 1 year check up, Tom returned. Attention to detail is his method. Bonus -- friendly and will answer all my inquisitive questions. Laurie Thomas 16:34 12 Jul 19 Our technician was prompt and fantastic with explaining everything. I appreciate the texts I was sent knowing he was on his way and he constantly made sure my questions were answered. I also feel that the company is genuine and honest about everything they communicate. The office staff is also amazing. All around this company has exceeded our expectations. It was also very convient to have them located very close to our residence. Rebecca Millard 19:16 05 Jul 19 I had a great experience with Absolute Air. Their system was so helpful in letting me know when the technician would arrive and Caleb did an amazing job. He explained everything very well and was very courteous while he was in my home. I would definitely recommend Absolute Air to anyone. Alison Thomas 18:43 25 Jun 19 Super impressed with their communication and customer service! Everyone has been so nice and accommodating and you can't beat $49 for a tune up. Ask for Shay, he took the time to properly diagnose my system and educate me on how to care for it. Lee Adair 16:39 21 Jun 19 How often do you have two air-conditioners at two different properties go down on the same day? Well, it just happened to me and so I was definitely needing some help. I checked reviews and came across Absolute Air; they seem to have great reviews and so I reached out to them. It turns out that Colten, one of their repair techs, was already in the business park where one of my units was and was able to put other jobs on hold and come check my unit out. He quickly diagnosed a bad capacitor and recommended that I also get the unit cleaned up and serviced. He was able to do it right then and for a very reasonable price.He then followed me to my second property where, after about 15 minutes of testing, he diagnosed that unit with a bad compressor. He was able to show me exactly how he came to that conclusion and gave me great information on options. Ultimately we discovered that the compressor itself was under warranty still so he quoted me labor costs for getting my system back up and running. Ultimately his information and willingness to help me find the best solution will save me several thousand dollars over installing a new unit when the old one could be repaired under warranty. So, if somebody asks if I would recommend Absolute Air – absolutely! Sarah M Reynolds 14:59 14 Jun 19 We had a Champion brand Swamp Cooler installed in the Fall. It came highly recommended from Home Depot. Unfortunately, upon install it did not work properly and we kept having to call the company back to check out the cooler. The first few visits there were clearly a few installation issues that they were able to resolve, but the next few visits it hasn’t been clear why it won’t work like a brand new machine. True to their word, they have kept their warranty on the installation and did not charge us additional fees time and time again. It is now June and it still hasn’t worked since installation and they still haven’t cut us off. We will have one last service today to check it out and if it doesn’t work, may I just recommend that you don’t ever buy a Champion brand cooler! It is not worth the headache or heat exhaustion you will experience! The company and I are both getting tired of the issues but they have been so good to help me through this horrible experience! I have never met a company who has been so gracious with their servicing or more willing to help you get the result you need. So, if you are looking for an honest company that will do a honest job, this is the company to go with. ...And please learn from my mistake and don’t ever get a Swamp Cooler to keep saving money on your utility bill! Just upgrade to AC!! D Thompson 17:57 12 Jun 19 This company is very customer oriented. Appointment reminders and sending me a text with a photo of the technician prior to the appointment was brilliant. The technician, Shay, was very friendly and professional. Let me know about things that could become an issue down the road, but didn’t over dramatize the situation. He gave me the room to decide what I needed. I highly recommend this company. Honesty seems to be important to them. Krystal Nelligan 23:05 06 Jun 19 We love the service you provide and Shay was amazing. We were late home from another pick up and he waited for 10 mins until we got home. Shay was great at explaining what we needed to do to keep up the efficiency of our system. He also taught us how to replace the filter for our furnace. He also was very kind and added a personal touch to the service he provided. Thank you for always having great service and willingness to come out to West Valley when we need you. We will keep recommending Absolute Air! Suzanne Wert 19:22 22 May 19 Technician was very knowledgeable and helpful. I got all my questions answered. We got the problem fixed the same day and that was great! The technician was very friendly with my child and made him animal balloon, which was very kind. However, I was concerned that the technician took a picture of my child on his personal phone without asking me while he was here.

Steve 18:57 14 May 19 Shay is a very personable individual who took the time to explain what he was doing in the tuneup effort. He was very conscientious about our house and keeping it clean. He was thorough and fast. It was fun to talk with him and to see his passion for ensuring that everything was correctly done - so we would be very comfortable!! I'd recommend Shay anytime to anyone. We loved having him in our house. Thank you Absolute Air for hiring such a stellar HVAC engineer. Abby Nielson 18:31 06 May 19 We have had the same guy come every year for at least 5 years. I always feel I can trust him, the work he does and the recommendations he makes. They service our a/c and furnace, so they come out twice a year and I like that we can pay a little every month and not have to pay the whole thing at once. When you commit to the payment plan you get a discount when repairs and things are done. I love Absolute Air. Sharps 1874 15:39 02 May 19 The Pros: The guys were great to work with. They worked quickly but with high quality. They were respectful of both my house and me, and they answered all of my questions. It was a very good experience.The Cons: We were scheduled for a two day install. This was a surprise. We were never told we could be without heat on a cold night. Thankfully, Dusty and George worked a long day so we could have heat that night. (Another Pro!). We were told that the heat ducts would be misted which to us was cleaned. That is not what misting meant. Either I missed it in the sales pitch for it was not explained. This is NOT a deal breaker just something you should know about.I would recommend these guys to friends and family. (Ask for Dusty and George) Smith Family 21:11 26 Apr 19 Great customer service. Appreciated call indicating arrival time of tech plus text with his picture and short bio. Tech was knowledgeable and explained things very well. Was our first experience with your company and a good one. Smith Family 22:02 24 Apr 19 Great customer service.

I feel like he is super trustworthy as we take his suggestions for what we need done. He always answers any questions that we have. Great experience with the company and with Shay! Bryan DeMartini 01:30 23 Apr 19 The technician that came to our house, Jose I, was very respectful, and courteous. He did a very excellent job going through our systems both heating and air conditioning, brought up questions that he had quickly and concisely and came to a resolution with my wife and I that worked for us. We hadn't read any reviews about Absolute Air but we are very grateful we found them and will continue using them Big Red 10:16 20 Apr 19 Absolute Air sent out Mr. Colten Sperry. A top notch tech who is knows his stuff. Fixed my furnace and then he came back out a few weeks later and did some PM on the air system, Clean cut, respectful, and honest. My favorite part is no hard sales or expensive upgrades suggested. He gives you the truth and the options and lets you decide. I highly recommend this business and Mr. Sperry's work....Hope this helps kona perry 23:44 12 Apr 19 Tom was absolutely thorough and very meticulous in his diagnosis of my furnace repair of which I thought was linked to my last service call. It was not linked to the last service call at all, and did everything in his expertise to resolve the issue. He went totally above and beyond to find a resolve for what was triggering a malfunction. He was also kind, courteous, and very professional. I would have him come back anytime. Also, Tommy, the tech from my last service call, was equally as competent as was this Tom. Thanks, absolute air for your great “caring” team. You have definitely earned my trust and business. Teresa Luckau 18:22 11 Apr 19 We love the AC & Furnace that Absolute Air installed for us last year! Also our allergies have decreased a lot as well. Just had to get new filters & the ladies in the office are so cheerful, friendly & helpful! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK Y'ALL!!! Len Moon 05:33 11 Apr 19 They arrived on time and explained what they were doing and knew what they needed to do and when. Made us feel we really did make the right choice in choosing Absolute Air. Never have seen two men work together better. Would recommend Absolute Air to anyone. Love our heat and air. Tyler Jensen 21:21 09 Apr 19 Matt Morten’s I was the installer assigned to my home.

I will be referring anyone who asks to this company. Great job guys! Kim Shelton 18:52 26 Mar 19 Colton was great! He answered all of my questions, & thoroughly checked everything (water heater, furnace, water-pressure-reducing valve, etc.). He even helped me know what to say to the gas company. He was fast & efficient, as well as kind & respectful. I’m very grateful for his help! Morgan Smith 22:08 20 Mar 19 Shay was awesome. Our furnace was having some issues and he was able to diagnose it quickly and get the repairs done immediately.

Matt McMurry 16:41 07 Mar 19 Tech was happy and willing to answer all my questions even somewhat unrelated. Was able to diagnose quickly with confidence. The business gave me clear info on initial fees and constant updates on arrival of tech. I was able to track the tech as they drove to my house. Very transparent in all their business dealings with me. 5280 Lady 14:50 03 Feb 19 I really appreciate that Absolute contacted us prior to the tech arriving. They included his name and a photograph of the tech, which is the first time I've received that sort of information, which I thought was fantastic. Tommy was very professional, courteous and timely. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything, including all of our options and was not pushing any solution. Rania Shalabi 22:00 01 Feb 19 Shay did a wonderful job! We had an appointment set. Technician came on time, and we even received a notification with his details that he is on the way. This makes you feel comfortable and safe. Tuned up went beyond my expectation, and in a professional way. I got all my questions answered and even was given excellent suggestions and recommendations. I am so happy dealing with Absolute Air! ROBB SHIRLEY 02:00 06 Nov 17 Porter W with Absolute Air came to my home to provide a furnace inspection & tuneup I scheduled the same day at Home Depot. The cost of the inspection & tuneup was $69. Porter went well above and beyond the call of duty in helping me! Porter spent over 2 hours (on a Saturday night an hour away from his home) going through every nook and cranny of my furnace to help me trouble shoot some furnace problems I was having and provided multiple options for me to consider to help me remedy my problems and save money. He even sat down with me to help me put some DIY items into my Home Depot mobile shopping cart so that I could take care of some things on my own. He was incredible thorough in explaining everything I needed to address with my furnace and how best to address it. I was so relieved to have had his expert help and grateful for his willingness to go the extra mile to serve me and my family. What an incredible person and company!

Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko delivers a speech in front of a new tank at the Malyshev military factory in Kharkiv, on October 11, 2014 (AFP Photo/Sergey Bobok)
Kiev (AFP) - President Petro Poroshenko will nominate his fourth defence minister of the year Monday, after dismissing the incumbent ahead of high-level talks with Moscow aimed at bringing peace to the Western-backed former Soviet state.
Poroshenko's official website said he would nominate a new defence chief after "accepting the resignation" of Valeriy Geletey, who was only appointed in July.
The sacking highlighted a sense of failure that has enveloped the once-proud force as the six-month conflict with pro-Russian rebels drags on and the death toll from fighting approaches 3,400.
The military's performance has humiliated Ukrainians who had been celebrating the success of a bloody popular uprising that ousted the then Kremlin-backed leader in February and propelled Kiev on its Westward course.
Geletey's removal threatens to undermine Poroshenko's position ahead of a crunch meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Milan on Friday that will also include German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The Kremlin said Merkel -- a vocal Poroshenko ally who helped arrange the two leaders' first meeting on the sidelines of a Normandy summit in June -- called Putin on Sunday "to discuss preparations" for Milan.
Poroshenko told the nation he had "no illusions" going into his fourth meeting with Putin since rising to power in May.
"These will not be easy negotiations, but I am ready for them," Poroshenko said in a Sunday evening television address.
"My goal (is) our country's unshakable independence, its territorial integrity, the inviolability of its borders, and the return of peace," he said.
Putin appeared to strengthen his hand with the order on Saturday for 17,600 Russian troops deployed near Ukraine to return to their bases -- a decision analysts linked to his desire to see biting Western sanctions suspended or at least rolled back.
- Eastern bloodbath -
There had been some speculation about Poroshenko's displeasure with Geletey's ability to organise a decisive assault on the insurgents since his appointment on July 3.
The respected Dzerkalo Tyzhnia weekly said Geletey's fate was sealed when he received a report on August 23 of an incursion by hundreds of Russian special forces and dozens of armoured vehicles into the eastern war zone -- allegations that Moscow denied.
The newspaper quoted a military commander as saying that Geletey ignored the intelligence and instead took part in an Independence Day parade in central Kiev the next day.
The alleged military deployment was followed by a sweeping counter-offensive that saw separatist gunmen quickly seize back a chunk of the land they had lost in the preceding weeks.
The militias also wiped out a Ukrainian unit of at least 100 soldiers near the town of Ilovaysk. The bloodbath shocked the country and soon saw Poroshenko sign a Russian-backed peace pact with the rebel command.
The September 5 truce agreement was designed to create a buffer zone along the front line and grant the insurgents limited autonomy within Ukraine.
But neither side has pulled back their big guns or halted all fire.
Militias across the Russian-speaking rustbelt are still attacking Ukranian forces and the number of civilians killed daily by stray shells and rockets is nearing that seen at the height of the six-month war.
The ongoing fighting could damage Poroshenko's chances in October 26 parliamentary elections that feature a powerful group of parties opposing any talks with Moscow.
- Russian withdrawal -
The Kremlin says that Putin has ordered back the soldiers from Ukraine's border simply because their scheduled summer training period had run its course.
But Moscow has repeatedly used its troop movements as a bargaining chip with the West over Ukraine's future in the past.
Analysts said the withdrawal order will be cited by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov when he tries to convince US Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris on Tuesday that the West's economic restrictions were no longer justified.
The troop pullback may also be designed to splinter the united, tough stance that Washington and Brussels forged after months of EU foot-dragging over sanctions against Moscow.
Some European nations with close energy and financial ties to Russia blame the weakness of their economic recoveries on the trade war that Moscow launched in reprisal for the Western punitive steps.

The effects of caffeine on extracellular dopamine and acetylcholine have been studied in freely moving rats implanted with concentric microdialysis probes in the nucleus accumbens shell and core and in the medial prefrontal cortex. Intravenous administration of caffeine (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg) dose-dependently increased dopamine and acetylcholine dialysate concentrations in the medial prefrontal cortex, while it did not affect dialysate dopamine in the shell and core of the nucleus accumbens. Intraperitoneal administration of caffeine (1.5, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg) also failed to affect DA in the shell and core of the nucleus accumbens. Such effects were duplicated by intravenous administration of DPCPX, a selective antagonist of adenosine A1 receptors, and of SCH 58261, an antagonist of A2a receptors. The effect of caffeine on prefrontal dopamine and acetylcholine transmission was also studied in rats chronically administered with caffeine (25 mg/kg, twice a day for seven days). At the end of this treatment rats became tolerant to the locomotor stimulating effects of a dose of 1 and 2.5 mg/kg i.v. of caffeine; these doses, however, still increased dialysate acetylcholine but did not affect dopamine in the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, in rats made tolerant to the locomotor stimulant effects of caffeine, tolerance developed to the dopamine stimulant but not to the acetylcholine stimulant effect of caffeine in the prefrontal cortex. The lack of acute stimulation of dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens shell by caffeine is relevant to the issue of its addictive properties and of the role of DA in drug- and substance-addiction. On the other hand, the dissociation between tolerance to the locomotor effects of caffeine and stimulation of acetylcholine release in the prefrontal cortex suggests that this effect might be correlated to the arousing effects of caffeine as distinct from its locomotor stimulant properties. | positive |
Faith No More singer Mike Patton said “things are going to change” in 2015, and he wasn’t kidding. The band has confirmed plans for its first new album in 18 years, which will be released in April 2015 through its very own imprint, Reclamation Recordings.
According to a press release, the as-yet-untitled album is currently being recorded in Oakland, California, with bassist Bill Gould serving as producer. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gould’s discussed the band’s decision to reunite for a new album: “We’ve always shared a chemistry between ourselves that’s unique to this band, but these past few years of touring together have made us aware that we not only play better as a unit, but we like the new stuff we’re coming up with.”
“Motherfucker”, which the band debuted during a show in London over the summer, will serve as the album’s lead single. It will be released as a limited-edition 7-inch single for Record Store Day Black Friday on November 28th. A digital release will follow on December 9th.
Gould also revealed that the band plans to tour North America in 2015 with dates to be announced soon.
Below, watch Faith No More perform “Motherfucker” live. | positive |
Erikson | The Critical Dragon Main menu Skip to content Greetings and Salutations Article Paper Review Blog The Critical Dragon Criticism With Teeth RSS Tag Archives: Erikson In the Dragon’s Den: Interview with Steven Erikson Part 3 Posted by RibaldRemark on April 26, 2016 In the Dragon’s Den: Interview with Steven Erikson Part 3 TCD: Picking this up again, we were talking about SF, and it and your love of absurd comedy masking some pretty pointed observations and satire brings me on to Willful Child 2: The Wrath of Betty (coming from Tor in October I believe). What can you tell us about it? SE: Willful Child was a bit thin on the background universe. I mean, I didn’t really have time for that stuff. It just got in the way! It definitely got in Captain Hadrian’s way. But having set up the situation and the main characters, the second novel needed to bit more depth (depth, in fiction-writing terms, is what the characters have to wade through), which in turn meant more of the background information brought to the foreground, thus adding, er, depth. So it’s a deep novel. Deeper. With more depth. Anyway, my advance readers recoiled at first, since for some inexplicable reason my satire meter was cranked way over. It bears keeping in mind the fuel that powers satire. It’s a savage thing. As much as one may go for laughs on the surface (and interestingly, most of the reviews of Willful Child more or less got locked on that surface stuff, with only a couple exceptions that I’ve seen), it’s the vicious current beneath it that drives the impulse to write this kind of fiction. In other words, I needed to be fed up in order to write these books. So, that inclines one to turn language into a weapon (and why not, we’ve weaponized everything else). The way I see it, satire can use a scalpel, or it can use a broadsword. It can also use both and everything in between, depending on the circumstances. Curiously, if you look at some of the best satire, say, the stuff on television (The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy), you can probably track how each series got more and more vicious as it went on. This ramping up may appear on the surface to be nothing more than the need to escalate the shock quotient (possibly in acknowledgement of the numbing effect of multiple shocks), but what I see in it is the growing desperation of the creators in their efforts to shake us all out of our apathy. And the more you fail, the angrier you get. Wrath of Betty started out wielding not a scalpel, not a broadsword, but a flamethrower. I had to halt part way through to toss the weapon and run around stamping out fires. And then tone things down some. So it took a bit longer than the first book.

For those not familiar with this series of Malazan novellas how would you describe them? SE: They’re just stories following two evil, insane heroes. Nothing unusual there, really. Oh, and it’s a lighter side of the Malazan world, assuming one can characterise ‘lighter’ as darker. The whole Malazan Book of the Fallen is just the necessary frame for my Bauchelain and Korbal Broach novellas. Most people have got that the wrong way round. Everything important and vital that I feel the need to say shows up in the novellas. Like, breasts with mouths instead of nipples and men who use beard trimmings to insulate their houses. I understand that most of my readers are proceeding under a misapprehension about all of this, but I expect Fiends of Nightmaria to put them straight.

So thank you Steve for doing this. SE: Just release all the funds you stole from my bank account and we can call it even. TCD: You promised that you wouldn’t mention the financial blackmail. Anyway, it seems like you are going to have a busy year of releases as you have Fall of Light (Book 2 of the Kharkanas Trilogy) coming out this month and a new Bauchelain and Korbal Broach Novella Fiends of Nightmaria about to release from Subterranean Press. Oh, and you also have Willful Child 2: The Wrath of Betty coming out this year as well. But before we get started on that, I did have a couple of questions about the Malazan world and series in general if you don’t mind doing it that way around? I recently posted an article about Worldbuilding and the Malazan World and I called your writing and world feminist. I know critics are supposed to assume the author is dead and ignore their perspective, but I figured that given we were speaking I would ask your opinion on it and get some answers from the horse’s mouth. It seems like too good an opportunity to miss. So did you read the article, and if so, what are your thoughts? SE: Yes I read the article and yes, of course I consider myself a feminist, in that I believe in equal opportunity for women and men, and that I continue to see all around me the persistent oppression of an intrinsically patriarchal society, and, finally, that the Malazan universe Cam and I created was explicit in its addressing that particular issue. It was also consciously colour-blind. To be honest, I am somewhat astonished that anyone would think otherwise of me. One of the first things we realized in creating the Malazan world the way we did, was that we would not sign-post these fundamental shifts away from the real world. After all, no-one in that world thinks about it either way. It’s not a point of debate, period. That said, it’s not, strictly speaking, an egalitarian world. To be egalitarian in the proper sense would require doing away with class divisions, entrenched and institutional disparity of wealth (and anyone who would argue that our disparity of wealth is not institutional needs to open their eyes), and systems of exclusion. We weren’t interested in a Utopian vision. The Malazan world is a messy world, a world of vast inequalities (at least on the surface, with, say, a lowly thief on one side and a god on the other) and injustices. Which is why a central theme to the novels relate to an argument in efficacy or potential efficacy, an assertion that someone like that lowly thief can turn the tables, can take down a god and change the world. We were writing about agency and the power to change the world, one small gesture at a time. Was that an idealistic notion? Depends on how cynical you are. It was interesting that in your essay you drew on the SF ‘what if’ premise when describing our approach to creating the Malazan world. Personally that’s not surprising, since Herbert’s Dune was a huge inspiration for me, especially with how the first novel, Gardens of the Moon, was structured. Dune drops you into the middle of a story. I liked that. I stole it. I guess I didn’t do as well with it as Herbert did; or maybe the Fantasy genre readership was more resistant to that approach (though Glen Cook’s Black Company did the same). Probably the former over the latter. Anyway, one could easily write an essay on the parallel structure between Gardens and Dune; it’s all there, right down to epitaphs and quotes opening chapters. Back to the feminism thing. Unquestionably there has been a strange backlash to the notion. Even the word has become pejorative. It seems to me the only way to fight that is to identify directly with the label, not defensively, but matter-of-factly. I admit that when I hear someone speaking against Feminism, I am dumbfounded. If only in the name of fairness, and how can one argue against fairness? Apparently, one can, and some do. For me, I don’t get that and I’ve yet to see an argument raised against feminism that isn’t self-serving and specious.

It might have an accountant as a protagonist, but this is first rate fantasy. Few debut novels are as hard hitting and brilliant. One of the best novels of 2015. Longer Review: Before I get started on this review I just wanted to say that you should read this book. Seriously. Just read it. Stick with it from beginning to end. Then, once you are done, take those few moments of quiet and think about what you just read. This is a stunning novel, brutal and beautiful in equal measure. Smart, intelligent and powerful. Thought provoking and entertaining. This will become known as one of the classics of fantasy literature, a feat made even more impressive because it is a début. So, read it all the way through to the end. Although, fair warning, you will probably love it and hate it in equal measure, but hate it in the way that means you were enthralled by it and it has gotten under your skin. Love it because it is unexpected, unconventional, and has an emotional resonance that goes to your very core. This isn’t a cosy fireside fantasy. This isn’t an easy ride of heroic quests. This is the type of fantasy that challenges you, changes you, and leaves you wrecked, shivering, and wanting more. Continue reading → Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading...

Sony reportedly signed a deal with smart card specialist Watchdata in a bid to integrate near-field communication (NFC) technology to more of its handsets. While this technology can bring a lot of benefits to smartphone owners, one of the most apparent reasons Sony shows its interest in it is because of the mobile payment system believed to become a billion-dollar industry in 2016. In fact, Sony is just one of many companies that see NFC as a gold mine.
The Japanese electronics company is set to commence its integration of Watchdata’s contactless technology into SIMpass solutions in 2013. SIMpass is yet another SIM-based mobile payment technology that will operate without the need of additional antenna. Perhaps, one of the reasons why Sony shows interest in using this technology is because it doesn’t need to sacrifice the form factor of its devices.
Sony is already using the contactless technology from FeliCa but majority of devices with this chip are used in mobile devices in Asia. Signing a deal with Watchdata doesn’t mean the company will make a shift in the contactless technology it wants to use. Rather, it paves a way to promote a technology (FeliCa) that already has a proven good track record. It might also become Sony’s ticket to claiming a bigger piece of the pie in the western market.
“The commercially proven security and performance of FeliCa is something we want to aggressively promote in the growing NFC ecosystem. The agreement with Watchdata allows us to adapt FeliCa technologies to more handsets and expand global market presence,” said Mario Manabe, senior general manager of the FeliCa business division within Sony.
For now, Sony seems to focus more on the Asian market where its devices are still among the most popular. In the U.S., however, the company needs to do more marketing campaigns and bring more impressive devices.

The feud started, as these things often do, with a Tobacco Road rivalry. A fight at Michael Jordan's camp followed, as did an injury scare.
But when J.J. Redick joined the Los Angeles Clippers in July to become Chris Paul's new backcourt mate … well, both Redick and Paul knew it was finally time to end their dislike of each other.
Scroll to continue with content Ad
"We have actually had a chance to become real close, real quick," Paul told Yahoo Sports. "Who would have thought after the battles we had in college."
Said Redick: "We connected right away."
The rivalry between Paul and Redick began when they both played in the Atlantic Coast Conference at schools just a 90-minute drive from each other: Redick starred at Duke from 2002-06 and Paul was at Wake Forest from 2003-05.
"We had some battles at Wake Forest," Redick said. "The game I kind of got into it with him our team had like three or four technicals."
Said Paul: "Before I got to know him he was no friend of mine. It is what it is. But that's how it was in college."
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Basketball is open for business]
The boiling point between Paul and Redick came in the summer of 2004 when both were counselors at the Jordan Brand Camp in Santa Barbara, Calif. During a scrimmage between the two, Redick became so irritated that he struck Paul.
"I actually had to apologize to him," Redick said. "…I put my hands on him during a game. It was a hand to the face type of move. I don't know how to describe it.
"We were in the dorm at UC Santa Barbara, and I was told I had to apologize to him. I knew he didn't like me then, but he did [accept the apology]."
Story continues
Since joining the NBA, Paul and Redick never spoke over the past seven seasons. Last season, Paul missed three games after bumping knees with Redick during a 104-101 loss to the Orlando Magic on Jan. 12 that snapped a franchise-record 13-game home winning streak for the Clippers.
Redick said the last incident caused Paul to "harbor more animosity" toward him.
"I didn't like him either," Redick said.
After the Clippers acquired coach Doc Rivers, their next big move came when they agreed to acquire Redick on July in a three-team, four-player trade. Redick netted a four-year, $27 million contract in the deal. The Clippers also sent promising young guard Eric Bledsoe to the Phoenix Suns.
"For Doc and the Clippers to make a decision like that and to trade Bledsoe, I knew Chris would be on board with that," Redick said.
Said Paul: "I remember the day I found out we had J.J. and I called him immediately. I was excited."
With the addition of Redick, the Clippers now have one of the league's best 3-point shooters to go along with one of the best point guards.
"Our skill sets complement each other," Redick said. "In terms of shot creation he helps me in that regard. Doc's offense, with all the movements, helps me in shot creation. Playing off a guy like Chris is going to be fun. On the other hand, I'm a secondary ball-handler and playmaker that can help make his job easier as well."
The ice between Paul and Redick began to thaw from the initial phone call after they became teammates. They have since hung out together with their wives, who have also become close.
"We have actually had a chance to become real close, real quick," Paul said. "Who would have thought after the battles we had in college. But the one thing about him, he's a pro. Everyone in professional sports knows what that means."
Redick also knows why he and Paul didn't get along.
"We didn't like each other," he said, "because we were both so damn competitive." | positive |
Observing Iran’s National Week of Natural Resources, the Leader of the Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, planted two fruit tree saplings this morning, March 8, 2017.
During this event Ayatollah Khamenei stressed, “Concerns surrounding plants, green spaces, and the protection of our natural environment are all very important issues for Iran. Officials, whose works are related to the protection of forests, pastures, and agricultural lands, must pay special attention to their work [in these areas].”
His Eminence referred to the pastures and forests, where various medicinal herbs grow, and the unique forests of Northern Iran, declaring, “The beautiful forests of Northern Iran are among the most unique forests in the world. However, a few traders, neglecting national interests, have encroached upon the ecosystems of forest and national resources, destroying forests to build villas. Our forests should be protected from these encroachments!”
Ayatollah Khamenei also highlighted the quality of Iranian fruit, expressing regret over importing foreign fruits, and asserted, “Importing fruits from foreign countries is among harmful actions, and officials should urgently prevent this.”
Finally, Ayatollah Khamenei described the Week of Natural Resources, and the tree planting events, as symbolic of the Iranian nation’s respect for nature across their homeland. He then held, “We should all appreciate this divine blessing.” | positive |
TRAVEL For sail: 200 homes on a cruise ship
About half of the cabins on the $1.1-billion Utopia, set to launch in 2013, will be offered as permanent residences ranging from about $3.7 million to $26 million.
During the Cannes Film Festival, the ship is slated to drop anchor near the south of France in the Mediterranean sea. During the carnival celebration in Rio de Janeiro, the ship plans to dock off the coast of the Brazilian city. On New Year's Eve, cruise ship operators hope to take passengers to Sydney Harbor in Australia to enjoy the fireworks display.
Cruise ship: An article in Business on Monday about a proposed cruise ship that would offer residences for sale said that another ship, the Oasis of the Sea, weighs 225,000 tons. The vessel's name is the Oasis of the Seas, and the tonnage is not the weight but the interior volume of the ship, measured in gross tons. —
Opulent cabins aboard the ship Utopia now range in price from about $3.7 million to $26 million. But even at these prices, a key draw will be location.
In the worst economic storm in decades, a Beverly Hills company has an ambitious plan to build a $1.1-billion cruise ship, set to cast off in 2013. But instead of offering four- or five-day excursions as typical cruise lines do, the business plans to sell half the cabins as floating homes.
But some cruise industry experts doubt the project can stay afloat in the rough waters of the current economy.
"The promises don't mean a whole lot until the keel is laid," said Stewart Chiron, a cruise expert and president of Leisure Pro, a travel marketing business.
Utopia Residences Co. placed an order last month with Samsung Heavy Industries to build the 971-foot, 105,000-ton ship, scheduled to launch from South Korea. Once completed, the Utopia will offer 204 cabins that can be rented like hotel rooms for limited periods.
An additional 200 cabins will be sold as permanent residences, with prices ranging from about $3.7 million for a 1,400-square-foot home with two bedrooms and two bathrooms to $26 million for a 6,600-square-foot cabin with four bedrooms and three baths.
Utopia officials say purchasers would be buying a cabin on the ship but not an ownership share of the ship itself.
"They are not condominiums, and the residents do not own the ship or common areas," said David Robb, chairman of Utopia Residences.
In addition, the cabin owners would have to pay regular fees for utilities, security, concierge services and access to private onboard clubs.
Some of the cabins feature hardwood floors, marble kitchen countertops, recessed lighting, walk-in closets and fireplaces. Owners and renters would have access to the ship's many amenities, including three swimming pools, tennis courts, an outdoor movie theater, a miniature golf course, shops, restaurants and a "lazy river" meandering around the deck.
In addition, Utopia would perpetually cruise the seas, coming to port so passengers could enjoy the world's most celebrated sporting and cultural events. Among the events on the Utopia itinerary are the Tour de France bicycle race, the Monaco Grand Prix car race and the America's Cup yacht race.
"The beauty behind this product is that it's a global product," Robb said.
Much of the funding behind the project will come from Frontier Group, a private equity investment group based in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. | positive |
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Adversity has brought out the best in the Detroit Red Wings this season.
That was the case during an injury-plagued regular season that required a last-quarter surge just to make the playoffs. And that was the case during their Western Conference quarterfinal series against Phoenix, which boiled down to a Game 7 on Tuesday.
The Red Wings, when it mattered the most, exerted their will on the upstart Coyotes, peppering goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov with 50 shots in a dominant 6-1 victory at Jobing.com Arena.
The Red Wings don't have much time to celebrate or catch their breath. They play the San Jose Sharks in the conference semifinals starting Thursday at HP Pavilion. Game 2 is Sunday.
"I expected us to be good,'' Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "I know the group pretty good. We played really well at times in this series and (Bryzgalov) hung in there. We felt if we kept it going all game long, we'd have a chance to be successful.
RED WINGS 6, COYOTES 1 Key play: The Red Wings killed off consecutive power plays, including a two-man advantage that lasted 1:12 late in the second period, before Brad Stuart stepped out of the penalty box and scored with 4.6 seconds to play to give them a 4-1 lead.
Hero: Pavel Datsyuk scored the first two goals of the game 1:41 apart early in the second period, getting the team rolling after goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov stood on his head in the first period.
Goat: Lee Stempniak, who provided an offensive boost after arriving from Toronto at the trade deadline, again was a non-factor. He finished the series with no goals, two assists and a minus-4 rating.
Analysis: The Red Wings displayed quite the split personality in this series. They unexpectedly lost a couple games at home, but desperate situations bring out the best in them. When their high-end players perform like they did in this game, they will be tough for any team to beat. The scrappy Coyotes played the Red Wings tough, showing them they can't afford to take their foot off the gas pedal in a league that is as competitive as ever.
"Our good players have been really good when we needed them in this series.''
, had two power-play goals and an assist. Pavel Datsyuk scored the first two goals of the game. Henrik Zetterberg and Brian Rafalski contributed three assists each.
"That's how it supposed to be,'' Babcock said. "Our big guys were fantastic today. They really came to play. To be successful this time of year, that's what you need.''
Brad Stuart and Todd Bertuzzi also scored, and Valtteri Filppula chipped in a pair of assists.
Rookie goaltender Jimmy Howard wasn't nearly as busy as Bryzgalov, but made some timely saves as the Red Wings won their first Game 7 on the road since 1964. They denied Phoenix an opportunity to win its first playoff series since 1987 when the franchise was in Winnipeg.
"Good for him. A kid, your first year, you win a Game 7,'' Babcock said. "He had a lot of run support today, but still he was able to get the job done and he made some huge saves on the penalty kill.''
The road team won five games in the series, three by Detroit.
"We got a solid team, a great road team that's really mentally tough, really sticks to the game plan,'' Howard said. "I think it stems from our captain (Lidstrom). He stays so calm. When the game's on the line and your leaders go after it and it allows every one else to raise their game, everything else falls into place.''
The Red Wings scored three times on the power play after going 0-for-11 with the extra man in the previous two games. Phoenix, which scored three power-play goals in its 5-2 win in Game 5, went 0-for-5 on the man advantage.
"It is a great feeling to see the team respond the way we did in a Game 7 on the road,'' Lidstrom said. "We played with a lot of confidence, even after the first period when (it was scoreless). We played with patience.''
The Red Wings outscored the Coyotes 4-1 in the second period following a scoreless first period that Detroit dominated.
A key sequence came late in the period, when the Red Wings killed two Phoenix power plays, including a two-man advantage for 1:12.
Brad Stuart then came out of the penalty box to score on a breakaway with 4.6 seconds remaining, giving his team a three-goal cushion.
"That's the turning point in the game. It's either 3-2 or 4-1,'' Stuart said. "Guys did an awesome job (on the penalty kill). Come out of the box and an opportunity was sitting there.''
Datsyuk got the ball rolling earlier in the period with a power-play goal at 2:01, settling a bouncing puck in the slot before whipping in a shot. Lidstrom's pass from behind the net was intended for Tomas Holmstrom but took a fortuitous bounce onto Datsyuk's stick.
Datsyuk scored again at 3:42 on a breakaway during four-on-four play. He was sprung free on a pass from Zetterberg and made a great move to beat Bryzgalov, faking a backhand shot and whipping in a shot on his forehand.
"The puck bounced to me and I just shoot it. I didn't see anything, just shoot it, saw (teammates) start cheering,'' Datsyuk said.
And on the second one, he said, "Our defenseman (Rafalski) and Hank (Zetterberg) did excellent job giving me pass.''
The Coyotes scored at 8:23 when Vernon Fiddler swatted the puck past a surprised Howard right off a faceoff with Datsyuk.
Lidstrom, however, made the Coyotes pay for Adrian Aucoin's holding penalty, scoring from the high slot with 2 seconds remaining on the power play at 13:52 to make it 3-1.
Bertuzzi (6:35) scored his first goal of the playoffs and Lidstrom (12:14) notched his second goal of the game in the third period to break it wide open.
And now, a season that appeared on the brink on several occasions motors on. | positive |
In Switzerland, it’s apparently common for people to leave out bags of stuff they don’t want for others to take, instead of throwing it all in the trash. And when a writer over on Brick Fanatics found a sack of miscellaneous Lego, when he got home he was surprised to find it actually included classic sets, manuals, and catalogs dating back to the 1970s.

It’s not every day you accidentally stumble across Lego sets that are close to 44 years old, and in such good condition as these are. And while the older models and pieces are understandably a lot simpler than what you’ll find on store shelves today, there isn’t a Lego collector out there who wouldn’t trade a mountain of modern bricks for these classic sets.

A newly-built house with a bus shelter "smack-bang" in front of its door has been put up for sale.
The two-bedroom home in Langley Mill is "attracting a lot of interest" despite being blocked by the bus stop, estate agent Burchell Edwards said.
Residents told the Derby Telegraph it was "bizarre" and "a laughing stock".
Derbyshire County Council, which is responsible for the bus stop, said it had been in place for years but would be moved to a "suitable position".
Image caption The bus shelter has been in its present location "for many years", the county council said
The two-bedroom house is on the market for £140,000.
More news from around the East Midlands
Julie Newing, who lives in nearby Brinsley, said: "I noticed this a couple of months ago and couldn't believe my eyes.
"It's hysterical because anyone living in that house wouldn't even be able to catch a bus because the shelter blocks their path."
She said she put a post about the house on social media because "with all the horrible things in the world if this brings a smile to people's faces then that's great."
Image caption The bus stop is served by Trent Barton which runs a service from Derby to Nottingham
A passerby told BBC News: "It is not the best bit of garden furniture is it?
"I can't believe it is still there and they've put the 'for sale' sign up. You would have thought they would have come and chopped it down by now, wouldn't you?"
Another local resident said: "It is a joke, isn't it?
"Why would you build a house that is smack-bang in front of a bus shelter?"
A spokesman for Burchell Edwards said: "We have already had quite a bit of interest in the property.
"It is a new build and has a beautiful interior so it would make a great starter or rental property." | positive |
The USC Trojans fans can look forward to seeing a progressive program under head coach Andy Enfield, who received a two-year contract extension lasting through 2021. Further terms of the deal were not made available. Enfield's extension has the Trojan community excited about their men's basketball program being able to continue with Enfield who has improved the program.
Andy Enfield coached the Trojans to 21 wins and the first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2011. The Pitt Panthers reached out to Enfield to gauge his interest in filling their vacancy. Both sides, ultimately, went in different directions.
The general consensus thus far supports the extension as many are excited about the promise of continued progress that Enfield should bring to the program. "We are very excited about the direction of our men's basketball program under Coach Enfield and the progress that has been made," said USC athletic director Pat Haden.
For Head Coach Andy Enfield, he looks forward to the development of players and of the team that should produce an exciting 2016-17 season.
With Enfield's extension, it will be interesting to see how much further USC can advance this time next year.

This appeared in the Los Angeles Times:
Pressured by governments around the world, four companies operating some of the world's most popular Internet sites and services — Facebook, Twitter, Google's YouTube and Microsoft — announced this week a joint effort to censor "violent terrorist imagery or terrorist recruitment videos or images." It's an effort to fight a bad use of technology with more technology, in the hope of curtailing the use of social media by Islamic State and other terrorist organizations to recruit followers and promote their murderous agendas.
According to a blog post by Google, whenever one of the four companies deletes a terrorism-related image or video, it will have the option of submitting the file's unique identifier to a shared database. The other companies will then review the file to see whether it violates their terms of service and, if so, they can use its unique identifier to delete it from their pages.
The database is similar to the one the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children uses to catalogue and remove child pornography. And the goal of the companies' effort is similar as well: to push jihadist material out of the most widely used spaces online, making it harder for Islamic State and its ilk to radicalize people remotely.
The announcement is both welcome and worrisome. We may all agree that jihadists shouldn't be allowed to use these platforms to distribute beheading videos, but that's just a fraction of the material used to recruit and radicalize. Should speeches by Islamic State leaders and sermons by extremist clerics be censored too? What about news photographs of, say, victims of Israeli or American airstrikes, or photos of detainees tortured in Abu Ghraib?
Clearly, the line between what is and isn't acceptable will be hard to draw. Yet the slope the companies have started down is slippery. Governments will surely push to extend the blocking effort to more online sites and services, such as Telegram (a messaging app that's popular with extremists) and Google's search engine. And if the effort to interdict jihadist propaganda is successful, what other kinds of content will governments want these platforms to exclude? Hate speech? Indecent material? Fake news? Cartoons that ridicule the government — a form of expression that's a crime in some parts of the world? The precedent being set here is that a handful of powerful private companies could take the place of courts and juries in setting limits on speech that, because of these companies' collective dominance online, would apply broadly across the Internet. | positive |

Thank you! Your submission has been received! Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form. Table of contents What is Form 1099-K? Heading 1 Stop chasing after overdue invoices March 6, 2018 5 minutes read Payments Getting paid on time is crucial for your business. But you don’t want to spend your time chasing down customers and trying to figure out who needs to pay you and when. To make sure you don’t suffer from a lack of cash flow, Wave has a few features (and shortcuts) that can automate parts of the invoice process to save you time and get paid faster. We’re going to cover three specific ways you can use Wave to stay on top of overdue invoices and even prevent them altogether: Set up invoice reminders Let your customers pay right away Save time with recurring billing Set up invoice reminders Once you log into Wave, your dashboard will show any overdue invoices in the top-left corner. Click on “Send a reminder” and an email will be sent right out to gently remind your customer about their invoice. This works for any overdue invoice you currently have. It can also be set up when you make a new invoice to prevent your them from becoming overdue in the first place. Let your customers pay right away Another great way to make sure invoices are paid on time is to give your customers the option to pay right away by enabling Payments. This will let your customers enter their credit card or banking information in a form on their invoice. Now they don’t need to dig out their chequebook (do people still use those?) or wonder how else they can transfer you money.

Turning the world’s most-loved book into a quality game. Join us.
Well, this is exciting! I hope in the story of David and Goliath I get to kill that uncircumcised Philistine*, lay waste to his army after they surrender* and then bask in the sweet glory of receiving an unwilling woman as my prize*.
* Apparently having foreskin makes you evil.
1Sam 17:26 NIV— “…Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
* The Philistine champion, Goliath, states that if the servants of Saul send out a champion who can defeat him, they will become their servants. Then after Goliath is dead David and his buddies chase them down, kill them and then plunder their camp.
Choose a man and have him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.
1Sam 17:52-1Sam 17:53 NIV—Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron. When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.
* General consensus in the Israelite army is that if David kills Goliath then the King will grant a tax exemption to David… Oh, and the King’s daughter.
The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter in marriage and will exempt his family from taxes in Israel.
I just hope that I don’t have to lug Golith’s bloody head around. When I stop by Saul’s place to pick up his daughter I don’t want the first thing she smells to be decaying Philistine cranium. | positive |

We tend to run after shiny objects. We ask what’s working with the Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Google search algorithms today, and we forget we’re talking to humans. We forget the principles of persuasion. We ask what’s definitely working today and forget there are principles of persuasion that worked even 100, 500, or 1000 years ago. Here’s an example: On the famous Copywriter Club podcast, Kira once asked me what was something that worked a few months before then that no longer worked by the time I was interviewed. What I said was: “Instead, let me tell you what worked 10 and even 50 years ago in advertising before Facebook even existed and still works today.” Take “37 grams of saturated fat” as an example. When those warnings first came out, people had no idea what they meant! But health authorities relied on analogies and ended up forcing movie theaters to stop using coconut oil to keep up popcorn sales. That’s the power of analogy. You take something people understand, visualize it with language into an ad copy, and you get powerful ads. The ad ran something as: “A medium-sized ‘butter’ popcorn at a typical neighborhood movie theater contains more artery-clogging fat than a bacon-and-eggs breakfast, a Big Mac and fries for lunch, and a steak dinner with all the trimmings—combined!” That single ad line made the front pages of The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and The Washington Post, and it was featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN. What worked 500 years ago in marketing still works today, because Facebook is a medium. If that social media disappeared tomorrow, we’d still have interruption marketing one way or another. What trends do you see for the future… Personally, I was already earning an income online and already working remotely before the pandemic, so whether it’s 2019, 2018, or today, I still have a tomato sauce stain on my t-shirt, and work behind my laptop and think: “Let me work a few more hours before I change or clean my shirt.” For me, personally, that didn’t change a lot. If we’re speaking about trends, we’re noticing people who used to live in very expensive cities, such as New York, San Francisco, London, etc. where real estate and rent are crazily expensive and people are thinking: “Why am I paying an arm and leg to share an apartment with three or four other people despite having a good salary? If I live in the countryside, I could stretch my legs” So, that’s a trend, being more mobile, because people are kind of tired of the cost of living in big cities. What is your biggest objective as a speaker? To keep my audience engaged, entertained, having them remember me and leave my speech thinking: “Oh my god, I learned something new” Could you share with us the points of discussion (the input that you provided) during the panel(s) at the BrightonSEO conference? There were a lot of questions about Facebook and I often said: “For God’s sake! Forget for one minute there’s a social media platform!” Imagine you’re in a coffee shop, sitting with someone face to face. How would you talk to them? Do the same thing if you’re on TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, or wherever; always remember you’re speaking to a human. As a leader, what are the factors both professional and personal that drive you? What keeps you going? Knowing I’ll be visiting another cat café. While I visit those, I forget about everything related to my profession. It’s my way of meditating; I do so with cats. In your opinion, do digital events give you a similar level of feedback/result vis-à-vis the live versions? What would you say were the biggest pros and cons of both formats? Which do you prefer? For a long time, people have been talking about conferencing technologies and how they would replace the need for travel, expos, etc. Yet, we’ve seen that none of that ever happens. We’re still human and we still love to shake a hand and talk to someone face-to- face as opposed to staring at someone on a laptop screen that exhausts our eyes. The biggest pro of offline conferences is the horrible tea and coffee. While I’m having that horrible drink, I can complain to someone next to me and say: “Hey! This coffee is really bad!” and then we’ll have a conversation. The second pro is the long line to the bathroom. That’s the perfect place for me to deliver my elevator pitch to someone and sell my products and services. People are trapped, not going anywhere. If you think about it, when we’re online, people can skip my ad. Through a cold call, people can hang up on me. Over social media, maybe I get one second of attention. But in a three or ten-minute bathroom line, I get ten minutes to sell my services! Of course, I’m joking, but you get my point. We’re human, we crave human contact. What is your take on in-person events? Do you prefer in-person events as compared to hybrid or virtual? How soon do you think in-person events would return? There are two points of view. From my point of view, I prefer offline. Then, from an event organizer’s viewpoint, whether it’s online or hybrid, it’s up to them to see how many people show up, and factor in the hotel and travel costs versus the offline version’s performance. I don’t have that data, so…I’m just speaking as an individual. In most cases, I prefer an in-person event. It may be three days long, and I’ll still go to most talks. I can’t think of the last time I sat calmly behind my laptop and spent eight hours listening to different speeches. I’d be tempted to check my email and social media or do some work. After some time watching an online event, it becomes truly exhausting. It’s more relaxing to attend in person, seeing people real size and not 1/50th of their real size on a laptop screen. In-person events have already come back. I spoke last month in Brighton, as well as at a live conference last year, in September 2021. I think it’s already returning as people are already sick of being online to the point where they’re somewhat screaming something like: “Let me out!” They want to go to an offline conference. In your opinion, what are the top 3 challenges to returning to ‘In-Person’ events? How could we mitigate risks? There’s still corona. People are still afraid. Eventible.com is a review platform catering to B2B events. Given how review-driven our lives have become today, do you think reviews will bring in a level of transparency to the events industry? Would you rely on event reviews from other speakers if you had to make a speaking decision? I use reviews if I need to buy a product on Amazon. I check to see which got the best reviews. And, if I’m paying for hotel, travel, and need to take time off, I wonder how good or bad a conference is. This said, I’m more likely to trust the review of someone I know. The review of someone I know and trust has way more value than that of a stranger. If I have no such reviews, a stranger’s review is better than nothing at the end of the day. Finally, do you have a favourite mocktail or drink? We’d be delighted to know. I love ceremonial matcha and recently discovered smoked tea. I think the smell of it is what I enjoyed most as the taste is pretty much the same as any black tea. About Sarah: Sarah’s a Facebook Ads Specialist at Hootsuite & AdEspresso.

In both cases, we had to figure out how to take what are historically in-person events and translate them into engaging virtual experiences with a team of just two in-house event marketers, counting myself. ImageCon is our flagship customer summit. In 2021, more than 1,700 people across 107 countries registered for the two-day event, which included 20 virtual sessions designed to help retailers unleash the full potential of their visual media. Our hosted event series included about 8 virtual events across North America and EMEA markets. To drive up attendance and engagement, we hosted unique virtual cooking and mixology classes, wine tastings, tequila pairings, and more, with celebrity chefs and bartenders such as Marcus Samuelsson, Julio Cabrero, and Amanda Freitag. Rockstar Mode There was no playbook on how to launch these initiatives virtually. It took hard work, creativity, and careful planning. ImageCon was a success, in part, because we secured high-quality speakers and focused on providing true value to attendees by creating sessions to optimize their usage of the Cloudinary platform to improve their business. We featured customers in the content by doing customer spotlights. We also improved the production level of the summit by partnering with an agency. I am proud we were able to pull off a high-quality event of this scale while managing 30 other events for the year. Prior to the pandemic, our hosted event series consisted of in-person dinners and intimate happy hours. We wanted to recreate these virtually, without making them feel like webinars. We succeeded, in part, because we invested in high-quality talent to attract participants and create fun, memorable moments we probably could not have pulled off in-person. We also took pains to make the events as easy as possible to attend, for example, by mailing guests meal kits or drink kits with everything they needed to participate. Of course, everything was branded, right down to the salt and pepper. We know our attendees’ time is precious, so we encouraged them to involve their family and were sure to include enough food and/or drink to share. After the experience, we broke out into small groups, allowing people to network with peers and Cloudinary team members, who led discussions on relevant industry topics. Thus, attendees topped off a great culinary or cocktail experience with valuable learnings that could help their business. In fact, I see us continuing with some of these virtual events even after we have resumed in-person ones. Highlights For ImageCon, we measure brand lift and visibility and return on investment. We consider how many customers attend the event, and how their retention, renewals, and cross sales metrics compare to customers that did not attend the summit. While I cannot share exact figures, I can say we saw a significant increase in all three KPIs, and that the event helped our sales team close deals with new clients and expand customer relationships with upsells and upgrades, thereby directly contributing to revenue. We also increased event engagement metrics year-over-year. Additionally, we received positive feedback from our customer success and sales teams who heard directly from event attendees. Our on-demand event content is now a powerful sales enablement tool for our sales team, who share session recordings with prospective customers, as well as existing ones who are considering adding on a new capability. We will continue to measure the performance of this content. For the hosted events, we evaluate success by measuring pipeline acceleration. So, we consider where event guests are in their consideration process before attending the event. We use the event, and event follow-up, to help move the prospect or customer to the finish line. We usually see prospects who engaged in marketing campaigns were more likely to close, and close faster, than those who did not attend an event. While this is harder to measure, we know our event series keeps the Cloudinary brand top of mind and deepens our relationship with customers. We document the positive feedback we receive from attendees and sales reps for internal use and marketing purposes. Survivor Mode The biggest challenge was probably keeping event attendees engaged virtually. People are subjected to so many Zoom meetings — you need to offer something of true value if you are going to convince them to volunteer for more screen time. Another challenge was creating an event strategy against a backdrop of so much uncertainty. I have seen industry colleagues invest resources in planning in-person events, only to have to rejigger in the final hour. I made the decision from the onset of the year to plan for virtual events, given our small team and resources. This allowed us to create more effective and engaging virtual events from the start and maximize our budget. Nothing beats in-person events, and I am excited to be moving forward with these in 2022. But I plan to continue with digital and hybrid events, as well, for a number of reasons. When done right, they can be more memorable than in-person ones, and certainly more convenient. They also allow me to engage people across a wider geographic region (all of Europe for example or across the US), which leads to cost-savings and unique and widened interactions for our attendees. Annie Yuzzi VP Global Corporate Events and Experiences, Sumo Logic Proudest Of Building a proprietary virtual platform to support our events has continued to effectively drive and expand our education, training, customer and internal programs. Rockstar Mode Nothing will replace face to face events, but these programs provided rich content that enabled people to learn more about our platform, hear success stories from our customers and get hands on with our products. All important components for our user base and those considering our offerings. Highlights We have expanded our overall attendance virtually by greater than 150%. In addtion, we had a greater global reach and increased net new attendee pipeline. Survivor Mode Creating connection - Virtual is great for pushing out content, but the energy you get when your face-to-face and the connection(s) you make or deepen cannot be mirrored in a virtual environment no matter how hard you try. Bethany Roskin Murphy Director of Global Events, Drift Proudest Of Drift was very quick to pivot during the pandemic and spun up a new event series that began in April of 2020. These events became quarterly, and were a key driver of leads for our marketing organization. This was extremely important during a time where live events (which we had relied on heavily) were no longer happening, and yet our goals had not been adjusted accordingly. I'm very proud of the team and all of their hard work in creating this event series, and for continuing to drive necessary leads for the sales organization. Rockstar Mode As noted above, these events were a huge cross-functional team effort spanning the entire marketing organization. Without the hard work of many teams, the events department wouldn't have been able to execute this very successful series for events. Highlights This virtual event series has driven over 36,000 registrations, an average of over 5,000 per event. The series has influenced over 300 opportunities, and driven over $1.5M of pipeline for our sales organization. Survivor Mode Just like most event professionals, these last 2 years have been an extremely challenging time. Aside from having to learn new platforms and engage virtual audiences (which we all know is VERY difficult), one of the biggest challenges for me was watching the impact of COVID on this industry that I've come to love over the last 20 years. So many colleagues that had become close friends over the years lost their jobs, and it was a time of turmoil and change for the industry as a whole. I'm grateful to have been employed throughout the pandemic, and I'm looking forward to the ongoing recovery of this amazing industry! Charlene Kate Ditch Founder, Charlene Kate Events Proudest Of One of the projects I’m most proud of in 2021, was a two-day virtual event featuring interactive discussions on best practices in the field of career services, panels with leading thinkers in higher education, keynotes and Q&As with authors and policy makers, and networking to create connections for all attendees. Rockstar Mode We sent out pre-event swag kits to create excitement leading up to the event. These kits helped our 68% attendance rate (given the average is between 20-40%) as attendees engaged on social through our swag kit campaign. Additionally, we saw an exceptional chat engagement of 8,608 total chats and 74 questions via the Q&A tab. Highlights Number of attendees and engagement parameters. Survivor Mode The biggest challenge from an event marketing perspective was engaging companies through sponsorship activations for our event. With virtual having lower engagement and interest for attendees, it made it challenging to offer value add for companies. I had to find creative ways and non-traditional ways to engage them. Gabrielle D. Global Events Director, Automation Anywhere Proudest Of Imagine Digital Rockstar Mode Collaboration of great partners internally and externally but ultimately great content is what makes any digital event stand out and be successful. Highlights 18,000 unique visitors, 100k page views, 19,000 registrants Survivor Mode Determining creative ways to engage with attendees virtually and create a meaningful event that isn't like all the other virtual events going on at the same time. Gerilynn Marburger Director, Global Events, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Proudest Of Architected, implemented and executed 12 weekly live webinars translated into 10 languages. Rockstar Mode The webinars allowed us to keep in touch with our customers on a consistent basis so we stayed relevant even though we could not meet face to face. Highlights We connected with over 20,000 customers and consistently received high NP and Box scores. We also recorded overwhelming repeat attendance (up to 60%). Survivor Mode Uncertainty of whether an event would be live or transition to virtual. Hollie Ashby Senior Manager, CXO and Third Party Events, Palo Alto Networks Proudest Of AWS re:Invent 2021 Rockstar Mode Collaboration, Communication, Organization and strong from support from my direct manager and Executive Leadership. Highlights 30k in person attendees Survivor Mode I was new to the company and many of the broader team were new as well, first IRL event since Covid shutdown - health & safety concerns, travel issues which impacted our speakers. Lindsey Cohen Director- Event Marketing, Snyk Proudest Of SnykCon 2021 Rockstar Mode Our annual conference truly embodies one of our core values as a company; One Team. It took an actual village of Snykers to ideate, build and execute this virtual event. It also pushed the collective team to practice what we preach so to speak in another one of our core values; Think Bigger. We set out to achieve some lofty goals and by supporting each other and driving towards the same end goal we were able to create some true virtual event magic. The conference delivered in numbers, content, programming, and production. Highlights Our success was tracked based on a set of key metrics and KPIs, but the ones in particular that stand out are our registration goal and developer audience engagement; mainly centered around hosting Snyk's first ever Capture the Flag competition for our developer audience. While we knew 10,000 people would be doubling our registration year over year, we were confident we could get there. By opening day of the event we had broken 12,000 registrations. A large part of that registration number was driven by this pre-conference activity called Capture the Flag. This is a fairly synonymous activity in the security industry, but adapting this for a developer audience and hosting it on our own for the first time was no small feat. Our inaugural Capture the Flag garnered more than 2,500 participants! Survivor Mode Continuing to reinvent your strategy and approach to virtual events has been a constant challenge since covid began and 2021 was no different. Making sure that myself and the greater team stay nimble and creative in our brainstorming sessions while also allowing space for repeating what's been working was a fine balance that we continuously aimed for throughout the year. Liz Caruso CEO & Chief Event Strategist, Liz King Events Proudest Of While we had the pleasure of working on some amazing client events, I'm proudest of our techsytalk GLOBAL event where we brought together 1,500 event professionals in an innovative virtual format with engaging round tables, case studies, hack sessions and more. Rockstar Mode 2021 really gave us the opportunity to try new ways of engaging audiences before, during and after so we were able to extend the lifecycle of our events and really make an impact! Highlights We were able to triple our event revenue through sponsorships in 2021 and keep our attendees over the 1,500 mark, even in the midst of Zoom fatigue and Covid-craziness. Survivor Mode I think it's the constant evolution of our jobs while maintaining work/life balance. While people are working from home more than ever (not a new thing for me), it seems the demands for productivity are only getting higher and higher and balance is very hard to find! Nicola Kastner Vice President, Global Head of Event Strategy, SAP Proudest Of I led the complete reinvention of the SAP global events portfolio for both 2021 and in preparation for a return to in-person/hybrid models in 2022. Rockstar Mode We started with a complete understanding of our marketing and business priorities globally and within specific geographies. We then spent a significant amount of time understanding the data both about who we need to target and why; as well as performance, demographic and engagement data from our 2019, 2020, and 2021 events. Any decision we made was grounded in data and business context. Highlights Impact against objectives. Objectives are the foundation of event portfolio strategies. Each event is designed to achieve specific objectives and performance against those is what we evaluate success upon. Survivor Mode Ongoing impact of COVID restrictions against plans. Additionally we went through a significant marketing reorganisation in 2021 which impacted almost every team and the way we made decisions and worked with each other. Rachel Russell Field Marketing Manager, Even Proudest Of I led the planning and execution of i4cp’s 2021 Next Practices Now virtual conference, which was held annually at the Fairmont Scottsdale prior to the pandemic. I am proud that I was able to virtually deliver an engaging, inspiring conference when C-level attendees were used to networking in-person. Our speakers included the Chief People Officer at Moderna; Chief Talent, Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Adobe; CVP HR at Microsoft; professors at MIT and Stanford; and former VP HR at Amazon and Starbucks. This conference ranked #9 on the 51 Best Future of Work Conferences list. Rockstar Mode This conference was incredibly successful, attracting high-level executives at Fortune 500 companies and earning much more in revenue than the in-person conference. This event was a success due to my refusal to stick with the status quo. Many organizations were hosting virtual events, so I wanted to offer a valuable, interactive experience that stood out. I researched coffee break activities and hired BaristArt, a world renowned latte artist who has been on Good Morning America, Food Network, and Us Weekly. His coffee designs were a fan favorite and helped break up the day in between conference sessions. I also ordered custom bobbleheads as a thank-you gift for each speaker. Highlights I utilized data sets to quantify success following each event. I analyzed the number of registrants, no-show rate, sales conversion rate, total time in the meeting, and overall engagement. For instance, I ran a biweekly event series with guest speakers ranging from the Chief People Officer at Zillow to the Global Diversity Officers at Google and American Express. I measured attendance over time to determine which speakers and topics were of the most interest and which marketing platforms were most successful at promoting the event. Survivor Mode 2020 and 2021 were years of immense change and unpredictability for the event industry, due to COVID-19. With over 250 in-person events in my toolbelt from my time managing B2B events at Deloitte, I pivoted and spearheaded the transition from in-person to virtual client events, training a team of Zoom Producers. The greatest challenge was combatting Zoom fatigue and providing a memorable experience that reflected positively on our company’s brand despite the limitations of a virtual environment. I learned to be more creative and utilize annotations, polling, gift boxes, and UberEats vouchers to deliver unique events that ultimately generated sales. Samantha Calle Associate Director, Xandr Proudest Of Xandr Connect - Xandr's largest owned and operated event Rockstar Mode This event is a massive undertaking that our entire marketing team and our sales people support and that level of collaboration really shows in the output each year. In the last 2 years, we've had to pivot this event to virtual and with that challenge, we've learned to focus our content development on the utmost relevant topics and trends that our clients care about. With the amount of virtual events taking place, it was important for our clients to know that we valued their time and any commitment they made to join our sessions and the feedback we received reflected that. Highlights Numbers of attendees, email data (opening, clicking through, etc.), level of engagement whether it be through survey results, how long attendees stay through content, or their involvement in Q&A. Survivor Mode Going through another year in the pandemic, it made it challenging to prove what else I could do when there was so much uncertainty on the future of in person vs virtual events. Margaret Shaeffer Head of Field Marketing & Events, LinearB Proudest Of My company's first ever virtual conference, and first ever in-person event, amidst the pandemic. Rockstar Mode I was very intentional about making our virtual event as interactive as possible, since the in-person element was missing. The addition of live, rather than pre-recorded, elements was a game changer. For in-person, being extremely respectful of personal health and safety, putting myself in our audience's shoes of what I'd expect, and ultimately keeping things small was highly effective. Highlights I started at this company 8 months ago with no events or field marketing department. The one virtual webinar that was spun up before I was on the team had decent attendance for the company size. However, after I started, our first virtual conference had 5x the number of attendees than the virtual webinar. Huge growth for our company. Survivor Mode Being able to pivot last minute to shift events from in-person to virtual is a humbling skill. Having to cancel after all the work you put in is hard, but also to keep those RSVP'd contacts engaged if you do cancel. It's a scary feeling - and I had to make some close calls even as I was about to board a plane to the event. Traci DePuy Head of Global Events, Salesforce Proudest Of Both of my pride and joys last year was Education Summit and Nonprofit Summit that are our premier Salesforce.org events. Rockstar Mode We listened to our customers and brought content they really wanted. It really is all about the quality of content and not about the quantity of content. With such a tight community it is hard to pick sessions and remove others - but it's looking at the program as a whole and making decisions accordingly. Highlights With Nonprofit Summit hitting over 17K in registrations and Education Summit hitting over 10K - these were Guinness Book of World Record numbers for these industries. We opted out of paying the 80K to actually have it published, but to me and our internal teams we knew it was big! Survivor Mode Team morale has been the biggest challenge. Events people are not built to do virtual only events. A lot of us picked this line of work for the people that get to experience what has been created as well as the people we get to see onsite work their magic. Without back of houses that are physical or late night hotel room run throughs of the following day, that final click of the off button is just not as satisfying as a glass of wine and some tears over an expo all humming and beeping from tear down.

The Federal Communications Commission’s new net neutrality rules ensure that Verizon won’t be able to intentionally slow down competitors’ video streaming services in the name of speeding up its own offerings. However, Verizon has shown itself to be nothing if not creative over the years and a new report from Investor’s Business Daily claims that the carrier is working on a sneaky plan to undermine net neutrality that may not even run afoul of the FCC’s regulations.
DON’T MISS: Brilliant new Google Maps trick turns your entire neighborhood into a game of Pac-Man
How would Verizon accomplish this? As IBD tells it, Verizon is planning to offer its own standalone streaming service that would be like a relaunch of its infamously disastrous Redbox Instant service that it shut down last fall. The difference, the report claims, is now Verizon wants “to set itself apart by focusing its service on wireless phone users,” whereas Netflix, Hulu, Sling TV and HBO Now will be primarily used by people on their wireline Internet connections.
So what’s the problem? Well, any Verizon customers know that the carrier just loves to slap users with fat fines if they go over their monthly data allotments. Video, by its nature, is a very data-intensive application. Thus, Verizon users who watch Verizon’s new TV service over its wireless network are likely to run over their data cap limits very quickly.
Unless… Verizon decides to exempt its own service from its own data caps.
“When it launches a mobile video service, Verizon could skirt the data cap issue by exempting some or all of customer OTT usage from data caps,” writes IBD. “But it’s unclear if that tactic would run afoul of net neutrality rules.”
This is very sneaky because Verizon wouldn’t be treating rival services’ data packets any differently when they run over its network. It’s more that you’d only have a limited number of those packets you could consume before you’d get hit with overage fees, whereas you could consume Verizon’s own packets as much as you wanted without fear of running over your cap.
This would definitely be giving Verizon’s service a major competitive advantage over others but the carrier wouldn’t technically be discriminating against rivals’ packets at the network management level, which is what the FCC’s net neutrality rules govern.
IBD quotes industry analyst Craig Moffett as saying the FCC would not “be pleased” with such a “provocative” move. And with good reason: Even if Verizon’s plan doesn’t technically run afoul of the FCC’s new regulations, it absolutely would violate the spirit of the rules. | positive |

After pledging not to spend a penny on his race, the National Republican Senatorial Committee helped Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) out with a $760,000 cash infusion in early November.
FEC reports filed Thursday show two transfers from the NRSC to the Missouri Republican Party, one for $360,000 on Nov. 1 and one for $400,000 on Nov. 2.
In the wake of Akin's comments on "legitimate rape" in an August interview, national Republicans urged him to drop out of the race. Worried that involvement with Akin would reflect badly on other candidates, the NRSC said that it would spend nothing to help him win.
But as the election neared, some polls suggested Akin was making up the ground he lost with those comments. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, with what had become a very slim chance of retaking the Senate, clearly thought it was worth investing anywhere it might have a chance at victory.
In the end, those polls were wrong: McCaskill won by more than 15 points. Republicans lost a net two seats in the Senate.
The funds came just as the state GOP placed a large coordinated buy with Akin's campaign, an ad barrage it almost certainly could not have afforded on their own. When asked in late October if the committee was helping Akin pay for a recent television buy, an NRSC spokesman declined to comment.
“It is not only wrong that the NRSC would provide funds to support a dangerous extremist like Todd Akin,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman in a statement. “It was underhanded and dishonest that they would purposely mislead the public about their actions.”
An NRSC spokesperson has not returned a request for comment. | positive |

21st Century Wire says…
It’s called – ‘Tykables.’
A disturbing number of stories have been emerging of late documenting what can only be seen as our complete cultural and societal collapse…
A top feminist author has described the ‘rise of transgender mania‘ as a symptom of cultural collapse, a robotics professor has warned that sex robots will ‘stop people forming relationships with normal people‘, and now we bring you news of a daycare opening in Chicago that is specifically for adults to attend who want to wear diapers and act like babies.
The need for such a daycare is evidence of both the growing infantilization of adults and the widespread prevalence of severe psychological problems in Western populations.
Instead of politically fighting against the ever increasing encroachment on our freedoms and constant drive to new wars, adults are spending their time cheering on sports teams and literally sitting around in diapers.
Here is a somewhat disturbing promotional video from Tykables:

The following is a report from RT on the store:

Hot, rocky planets may change their composition if rock components vaporize in steam atmospheres that escape to space
The media often imply that the goal of the hunt for extrasolar planets is to find a rocky planet about the size of Earth orbiting a star like the sun at a distance that would allow liquid water to persist on its surface. In other words, the goal is to find Earth 2.0.
But there are reasons to be interested in the other worlds even if they couldn’t possibly harbor life. The hot, rocky planets, for example, offer rare and precious clues to the character and evolution of the early Earth.
The Kepler satellite has detected more than 100 hot, rocky planets orbiting close to their stars. If these planets formed from interstellar clouds with Earth-like abundances of volatile elements, like hydrogen, water and carbon dioxide, these planets might have steam atmospheres.
Steaming a rocky planet wouldn’t just press out the wrinkles. Because the rock-forming elements dissolve in steam to different extents, steaming could, in principle, alter the planet’s bulk composition, density and internal structure, especially if all or part of the rock-bearing steam atmosphere was then lost to space.
Bruce Fegley and Katharina Lodders-Fegley, respectively professor and research professor in earth and planetary sciences in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, published models of the chemistry of a steam atmosphere in equilibrium with a magma ocean at various temperatures and pressures in the June 20 issue of the Astrophysical Journal.
Based on their findings, they have some suggestions for planet hunters — things they might see when they train their telescopes on the hot rocks.
Getting some steam up
The fact that planet hunters have discovered many hot rocks roughly the size of Earth is one of three lines of evidence that come together in this research, Fegley said. The other two are the solubility of silica and other rock-forming elements in steam, and the idea that the early Earth had a steam atmosphere.
The notion that rocks will dissolve in steam may seem outlandish, but it is common knowledge among geologists. “Geologists are mainly concerned with very hot water or water and steam mixtures, whereas we’re looking at pure steam and temperatures hundreds of degrees hotter. But it’s the same kind of idea,” Fegley said.
The suspicion that the early Earth had a steam atmosphere goes back to 1974, when Gustave Arrhenius of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography argued that planetesimals that smacked into the forming Earth got hot enough to melt and release all their volatiles into the atmosphere.
The first to model the steam atmosphere of the early Earth were Yutaka Abe and Takafumi Matsui of the University of Tokyo in 1985. “They were mainly interested in the physics of the problem,” Fegley said, “and whether greenhouse gases acting as a thermal blanket would keep the surface molten. I think we’re the first ones to do a detailed chemistry on it.”
Escaping steam
Fegley and Lodders looked particularly at magnesium, silicon and iron, the three most abundant elements in material that combine with oxygen to form rock — both on Earth and the other terrestrial planets and probably on exoplanets orbiting stars with a composition like our sun’s.
The rocky elements enter the atmosphere as hydroxides (Si(OH) 4 , Fe(OH) 2 , and Mg (OH) 2 ). Because these oxides have different solubilities in steam, cooking a planet in steam can change its major-element chemistry.
“Potassium, for example, easily goes into steam and if it’s lost, you’ll lose its radioactive isotope and so change the heat production on the planet,” Fegley said.
“If you dissolve more silicon than magnesium, and some of the atmosphere is lost, you can change the ratio of these elements in the planets. This might explain why the ratio of silicon to magnesium in the Earth is about 15 percent smaller than the ratio in the sun, even though the two formed from the same interstellar cloud,” he said.
“If you boil off a lot of the silicon, you might end up with a much denser planet than you’d expect. We’ve found some pretty dense exoplanets,” Fegley said. “Sometimes it’s crazy high. Earth is about 5.51 g/cm3, but Corot-7b is closer to 10 g/cm3 . . . high enough that it’s kind of hard to explain.
“And if you don’t lose the atmosphere, when the atmosphere cools down, the rock-forming elements would precipitate out. Since silicon is the rocky element most soluble in steam, it will be the most abundant, and you’ll get a silicate-rich-crust ready-made,” he said.
What to look for
Although the scientists are experimenting with numerical models, they remark that their conclusions are testable by observation.
“We’re hoping astrophysicists doing mass/radius diagrams to figure out the internal composition of planets will consider compositions other than Earth’s,” Fegley said.
“We’re also hoping space-based spectrometers will be trained on the hot, rocky planets. Astrophysicists see silicon, magnesium and sodium coming off the atmospheres of hot Jupiters and hot Neptunes but not yet off of hot rocks, which are dimmer and harder to observe,” Fegley said.
Intense ultraviolet light from nearby stars is likely to break up hydroxide molecules at the top of atmospheres, the scientists said. The “photoproducts” of these reactions, such as monatomic gases of aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium and silicon, might be easier to see both because of their abundances and because their spectral lines are less likely be masked by other emissions. | positive |
This is the fourth post in my “Beyond” series. The previous three posts focused on re-imagining OOP and questioning some of the core beliefs that we have come to take for granted. This one is going to be slightly different, in that I want to talk about another angle of writing code: the process itself. We always talk about how code should be clean, but how do you write clean code?
##
What Is Clean Code
Depending on who you ask, and what metrics you use, there are a number of ways that code is judged. Here are a few common ones:
Descriptive Naming
Code Formatting Consistency
Proper Abstractions
Readable
Clear code flow
Good and easy to follow architecture
Uses libraries for complex tasks
Uses industry-standard best practices
Has no security vulnerabilities
Short routines
Low complexity routines
Etc. You can insert your favorite rules in there…##
How To Write Clean Code
This is a hotly-debated topic. I think the best explanation of how to write clean code that has been documented to date:
XKCD 844
Obviously that is a bit of a joke, but it’s completely true. Most developers have a very difficult time writing clean code. So how can we do it?
##
Change The Premise
I’m going to start out by saying something here. Something controversial. Something that may sound odd:
There are only two types of code, code that delivers business value, and code that doesn’t.
As an industry, we have come to value code that looks pretty. We have come to value readability and correctness. But for some reason, we never really talk about the fact that said code needs to deliver business value. The cleanest code that doesn’t deliver value is still crap.
I touched on this a little bit 2.5 years ago in my very first blog post on this site The Difference Between Good And Good Enough.
So, if we compare traditional “clean code” metrics with “business value delivery”, we wind up with 4 types of code:
Good Business Value Poor Business Value Clean Code Excellent Code Bad Code Dirty Code Good Code Garbage Code
Yes. If code delivers good business value, then it’s good code. That doesn’t mean we can’t improve it. It just means that it is doing what it needs to!
##
The Next Step
Taking that to the next logical step, it’s better to focus on delivering business value than “cleanliness”. Focusing on clean will at best leave you with bad code. Focusing on delivering business value will leave to at worst good code…
So, how do we focus on delivering business value?
##
The DIRTI Method
I focus on delivering business value by writing DIRTI code (pronounced just like Dirty). Here’s how it works:
Develop - Write the dirtiest code that you can that actually solves the business problem. Don’t worry about abstractions or formatting or anything. Just get the code written. Isolate - Isolate the abstractions that you identify in the prior implementation. These will become refactoring points. Refactor - Refactor out the abstractions that you’ve found, cleaning the code in the process. Test - Once your abstractions are reasonable, start writing tests for them (unit tests). Integrate - Once your abstractions are unit tested, integrate them into your application (with appropriate integration and behavioral tests)
The real beauty of this approach is that it assumes that you don’t know your abstractions before you start. This will help you understand the problem (and the solution) as you write it.
Contrast this with TDD (Test Driven Development) which really expects that you understand the code you’re trying to write before you write it (after all, your test acts like a specification).
This actually takes us to an interesting point. Using the DIRTI method will have two main phases of development: the DIR loop, and the RTI loop.
Initially, when you don’t fully understand the solution, you will develop, isolate and refactor over and over until you fully understand the solution that you’re building. Once that understanding solidifies, you’re going to tend to spend more time in the later parts (Refactor Test and Integrate).
##
Why This Works
Why am I sitting here telling you to try the DIRTI method? It works. Why does it work? Well, as alluded to in the last section, the DIRTI method helps you find the code to write. It helps you figure out how to solve the problem.
But most importantly, it gives you the power and the tools to make an informed decision about Good vs Good Enough!
So, remember that code that delivers good business value is good code. So that means that when you leave the Develop stage, your code is already ready to deliver business value. It solves the problem at hand!
The entire process is iterative. So you can keep isolating behavior and refactoring over and over until you are happy with the code. But the entire time you’re doing that, you’re refactoring working code. And this is AWESOME! This allows you to consistently judge “Is this code good enough”. And once you’re happy with it, move it on to the next step.
This lets you focus on what’s really important: business value, and lets you choose how much to focus on code quality. It also lets you let the architecture of the code evolve.

Do you understand what needs to be written? Then use TDD. Do you understand the problem, but not the solution (at least fully)? Use DIRTI. Do you not understand the problem? Then go back to the business to figure that out! | positive |
WASHINGTON — After nine years of some of the lowest interest rates in history, the Federal Reserve this past Wednesday started the process of making it more expensive to borrow money and more lucrative to save.
Consumers can expect changes in everything from car loans to credit cards. But analysts are anticipating such a mild difference for the next year, that people might wonder why talk of a rate increase was such a big deal.
While the Federal Reserve raised an interest rate it controls (the Federal Funds rate) 0.25 percent, that rate merely influences — but doesn’t control — the rates you get on your savings or the interest you pay on many types of loans.
Banks and other lenders make their own decisions. Depending on the type of lending they handle, they will mimic the Fed, or be influenced — but not driven — by the Fed.
Some will respond immediately. Others will be driven more by how well the economy is doing, whether inflation looks like it’s picking up, and the competitive pressures lenders are facing when they try to attract your business.
While a 0.25 percent increase is tiny, some analysts think the Fed might raise rates two or three times next year — 0.25 percent each time, to 0.75 percent or 1 percent. After 1 percent, you are more likely to feel the effect than Wednesday’s minimal 0.25 percent.
Rates probably will increase slowly, so you won’t see a huge burst in interest on many types of loans. But the effect depends on what you need to borrow.
Here’s what to expect:
Will your interest rate go up on your credit card?
Probably quite soon. Although some cards have interest rates that are fixed and won’t change, many can adjust daily. “Expect a change” higher, said Robert W. Baird bank analyst Bryce Rowe. So, as the Fed increases rates 0.25 percent, your interest rate — unless fixed at a specific rate — is likely to go up by that amount.
And if the Fed raises interest rates three times more next year — 0.25 percent each time — you could be looking at an interest rate about 1 percentage point above where it was the last time you looked.
The average credit card now carries a 15.7 percent interest rate, according to Greg McBride, analyst for bankrate.com. The current rate increase by the Fed probably will mean that average rate goes to about 16 percent soon, and if there are four rate increases the average rate could be about 17 percent, McBride said.
Did you blow it waiting to buy a house?
Not if the economy continues to behave as the majority of economists expect and if Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen keeps sending the message she’s in no rush to raise rates and plans a gentle path of increases, said Randall Kroszner, former Fed governor and current University of Chicago Booth School of Business professor.
Interest rates on mortgages are not determined directly by the Federal Reserve but are influenced by expectations about the economy and the future of interest rates. The economy is growing modestly, Kroszner added.
If you want to see where mortgages are going, keep an eye on U.S. Treasury bond yields. When those yields are going up, it means optimism about the economy or expectations of rising inflation. Mortgages will follow the same path.
But U.S. Treasury rates, and mortgage rates, could go down if investors start worrying that the economy is slowing. Some analysts such as Doubleline bond fund manager Jeffrey Gundlach are concerned rate increases by the Fed could slow the economy.
With continued moderate economic growth, economist Lawrence Yun, of the National Association of Realtors, said a 30-year mortgage may go to 4.5 percent, “and at the most 5 percent by the end of next year.”

Yes. “Be wary,” McBride said. Often adjustable-rate mortgages can be reset at a higher rate once a year, and because it’s once for a full year, the increases “come in spurts, not drips and drabs.” In other words, multiple Fed interest rate increases next year could be blended into one big increase on your mortgage.
This is different from credit cards, which will raise interest rates just a little each time the Fed acts. On a $200,000 home that could mean paying about $100 more a month, said McBride.
Have you been having trouble getting a mortgage?
Because many analysts see the Fed’s decision to raise rates as a vote of confidence in the economy, that can be good for people who want to borrow money. If lenders were reluctant to lend in the past because they wondered whether they would get repaid, “they may ease up a little now” and grant loans they wouldn’t in the past, Rowe said.
The assumption will be if conditions are better — if people are getting jobs and raises — there’s less risk lending people money. FICO scores, which now have to be almost perfect to qualify for loans, could become acceptable if a little less perfect.
Do you borrow on your home?
Home-equity loans typically are pegged to the prime rate, which will climb along with the Fed’s changes in rates, said McBride. He predicts you will see your interest rate climb within one to two billing cycles.
Do you intend to buy a car?
There is a lot of competition among lenders to grant car loans, so interest rates are low — below 3 percent on many now — and will probably increase little, Rowe said. Lenders feel more confident granting car loans than mortgages because they can easily confiscate your car if you miss a payment. Therefore, they don’t think they need to charge extra interest to cover them for losses.
A 0.25 percent increase in car loans “is inconsequential,” notes McBride — only about $3 more a month if you buy a $25,000 car. That’s $452 a month on a five-year loan versus $449. If the rate goes to 4 percent, the monthly payments would be about $460.
Are you going to college?
Federal student loans are set for the 2015-16 school year, so you can count on federal Stafford loans to have a 4.29 percent interest rate and graduate loans 6.84 percent. But beware of private student loans, which typically have variable rates. They will keep getting more expensive as interest rates climb.
Will you finally make money on CDs or savings accounts?

Maybe a tiny amount, but not much. Individuals with savings may “feel a little extra change” but not a full 0.25 percent, Kroszner said. | positive |

This is a guest blog from Grant Jones.
In the Algorithm Ink blog post, I mentioned that I’d be interested to see if a Flash implementation of ContextFree.js would be faster than the pure Javascript, and if so, how much faster. Would an implementation of the Canvas API done in Flash make a better solution for Canvas in IE than Google’s excanvas? Within days, Grant had jumped in, wrote some slick code, and answered those questions!
My hat is off to Grant for the awesome work he’s done, as well as for writing this post.
Intro to Internet Explorer Canvas-Emulation
Before we go into the current state of Internet Explorer canvas-emulation, here’s a brief look back at the history – or the history as far as I could tell from blog posts:
Manish Jethani mentions something about the canvas tag being used for a 3D game, John Dowdell from adobe responds in Nov. 2005 Manish Jethani suggests a way to do a SWF-based Canvas on Dec 1st, 2005 iecanvas from Emil A Eklund released December, 2005 (uses VML) excanvas from Google released March, 2006 (uses VML) AFLAX (uses ExternalInterface) adds canvas emulation in March 2006
Overall, interest in this area seems to die off after that. Only recently with things like Processing.js and ContextFree.js has there been a renewed interested in backwards compatibility for the canvas tag.
What is FlashCanvas?
FlashCanvas is a canvas tag to flash bridge for browsers which do not support the canvas tag like Internet Explorer. FlashCanvas is an experiment to see if any performance improvement could be realized by using flash technology. The javascript code is a fork of the ExplorerCanvas project:
Firefox, Safari and Opera 9 support the canvas tag to allow 2D command-based drawing. ExplorerCanvas brings the same functionality to Internet Explorer. To use, web developers only need to include a single script tag in their existing web pages.
Back in July I was using the canvas element to create simple ‘platformer’ style games. The original idea was to create one basic game every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The first few were Flash-based but the rest were done in javascript and HTML. The problem is that Internet Explorer still has a major percentage of the market share and couldn’t play my games. I tried excanvas from Google, found it was too slow, and in the grand tradition of rolling-my-own created FlashCanvas.
How does FlashCanvas work?
FlashCanvas is modeled after ExplorerCanvas which means it is a turn-key solution for adding Canvas support to IE. You can code away, happily using open standards and then use FlashCanvas to forcefully and silently upgrade IE to also being standards compliant.
There are two main components in FlashCanvas: the base FlashCanvas.swf flash file (a mere 688 bytes), and the FlashCanvas.js wrapper. I’ve used the excellent swfobject.js to embed the Flash into the page.
The FlashCanvas.js file implements a fake-canvas object and converts all existing canvas element into a flash object. The javascript intercepts canvas commands and forwards them to the FlashCanvas.swf movie file using the ExternalInterface provided by the flash player. The flash movie clip then interprets the command and draws accordingly.
Download FlashCanvas
Download it here: FlashCanvas 0.2.
Version 0.2 includes a batched mode. Look for the “example1_stress.htm” inside of the examples folder for a demo of it in use. It’s Released under the same Apache License as the explorer canvas project.
FlashCanvas is a one-day project, meaning that this release only implements lines and fills, which is only enought to support the first two examples from ExplorerCanvas.
Unfortunately, there exists a flash player bug which does not allow local connections to communication with actionscript from javascript using ExternalInterface even if permission is granted. A python script for running a SimpleHTTPServer instance is provided for testing purposes.
Does FlashCanvas provide better performance?
The short version: not really.
The longer version: All drawing commands are being forwarded from Javascript -> ExternalInterface (down into the browser) -> ActionScript -> Flash Drawing commands. This is a lot of overhead for drawing code. Doing something simple like a moveTo and lineTo would result in at a very minimum 8 separate levels of indirection.
Performance
FlashCanvas did not yield as much of a speed increase as I was expected. The question is, where is the slowdown occuring.
Flash performance is not the limiting factor as it is roughly the same across all platforms, and is quiet speedy with graphics. The speed of javascript execution is also not the limiting factor. Although, from the limited testing I did it is clear that javascript executes slower on Internet Explorer than in either Firefox or Safari — it is not enough to explain the difference in render times.
The slowdown is occurring somewhere between the javascript call and the actual rendering to the Flash MovieClip. To investiage further, I wrote a dummy ping-pong page/flash file which simply calls a “ping” method from javascript into actionscript to test timing.
The results revealed where the problem was:
JS2AS = JavaScript calling ActionScript; JS2AS2JS = Javascript calling ActionScript and ActionScript calling Javascript; OS X and Windows machines were physically different
Each call via the ExternalInterface is taking approximately 0.5 ms. Since we know the time it takes to call an actionscript method from javascript, we can deduce the amount of time it takes for Flash to render. For the example1.htm page it takes ~24 ms to render 20 anti-aliased lines. In Safari a call into actionscript takes roughly 0.4 ms — this is only the call time, it doesn’t include the time to render anything. For example1.htm a single “particle” calls actionscript 3 times with the commands: [lineStyle,moveTo,lineTo]; each particle takes 1.2 ms in JS-to-AS calls; to take 1 second to render the frame ~833 particles need to be rendered. Changing the example code to render that many particles resulted in:
(where time is in milliseconds)
The conclusion is: the time it taken for the javascript canvas wrapper, the javascript particle simulation and the actionscript code/line rendering is insignificant.
For comparison this is safari doing the same exact thing using it’s native canvas element:
(where time is in milliseconds)
The next logical step is to batching draw commands into an array to be passed only once into the flash renderer. Immediately this raises an issue about how the canvas API has been typically used: there is no explicit end of rendering or flush equivalent so the canvas-wrapper would never really know when drawing is finished. The most fine-grained control would be at the individual path level, which would result in nearly the same performance for something like the example1.htm file. Most graphics API have some sort of buffer flush either explicitly, like glFlush in opengl, or implicitly during a buffer swap.
Still, it was worth testing to see if this could solve the performance issues. A flush was added to the canvas-wrapper but batching commands into an array does not eliminate the performance problem in ExternalInterface. FlashCanvas was changed to batch commands and then send them to flash with only one call via ExternalInterface. The result is only slightly faster (800 ms instead of 1 sec and a really slow 20 secs /frame in Internet Explorer 7). Since that part of flash is all closed this was basically as far as I could go — my guess is that some sort of serialization/translation is taking all the time.
What other approaches could be taken?
Here is where we look to the recent news that Mozilla’s Vladimir Vukićević has a working prototype Active-X plug-in which emulates the canvas element. This is ultimately the best bet as far as performance is concerned. There may still be potential performance issues due to the fact that all the javascript code is still being interpreted by Internet Explorer which seems to have some undesirable characteristics especially in memory management.

Joni MItchell Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images According to TMZ, "Joni Mitchell is unconscious in a hospital, unable to respond to anyone, with no immediate prospects for getting better."
TMZ reports: "Joni's close friend of 44 years, Leslie Morris, has just filed legal docs to obtain a conservatorship over the legendary singer. Morris says Joni told her she has no close relatives who could assume the role."
The documents add that Mitchell is "so impaired as to be incapable of being assessed."
The 71-year-old "Big Yellow Taxi" singer was previously rushed to the hospital on March 31 after being found unconscious after passing out at her L.A. home.
A new update on JoniMitchell.com refutes the TMZ report:
Contrary to rumors circulating on the Internet today, Joni is not in a coma. Joni is still in the hospital - but she comprehends, she's alert, and she has her full senses. A full recovery is expected. The document obtained by a certain media outlet simply gives her longtime friend Leslie Morris the authority - in the absence of 24-hour doctor care - to make care decisions for Joni once she leaves the hospital. As we all know, Joni is a strong-willed woman and is nowhere near giving up the fight. Please continue to keep Joni in your thoughts." You may add your well wishes for her at the website WeLoveYouJoni.com
According to Rolling Stone, "Mitchell has reportedly suffered from a rare condition called Morgellons for the past eight years. In Mitchell's case, she described the disorder as 'fibers in a variety of colors protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm.'"
"Morgellons is constantly morphing," Mitchell told The Daily Mail of her symptoms. "There are times when it's directly attacking the nervous system, as if you're being bitten by fleas and lice. It's all in the tissue and it's not a hallucination. It was eating me alive, sucking the juices out. I've been sick all my life." | positive |
The 2018/19 Formula E car programme has been spearheaded by the FIA, the first time it has had a direct influence in the design and management of supplying a car to a series it sanctions.
While Todt would not be drawn on specifics of the car, which was shown to some key Formula E partners at Montreal last month, Motorsport.com understands that the futuristic-looking design could feature a radical departure from the classic single-seater shape, especially around the rear of the car.
It is also said to be a considerable departure from the initial schematics which were issued earlier this year by Spark Technologies (pictured above).
A venturi rather than a traditional rear wing is believed to be part of the design, which is also expected to embrace the Halo cockpit protection device set to be adopted by F1 in 2018.
“We like to make some good surprises and this [the season five car] will be a good surprise with new safety and technology on the car,” Todt told Motorsport.com.
“The big change is only having one car [per driver, per race] and for me Formula E is a visionary category in motorsport."
The season five car is expected to test privately this October before one car per manufacturer is supplied early in 2018 for private testing.
Manufacturers are expected to get an additional eight test days on top of their initial 15 for season five preparations.
Formula E "ahead" with 2040 bans
Todt also opined that Formula E was well-positioned after recent announcements by the British and French governments to ban the sale of pure internal combustion cars and vans from 2040.
“You have seen that by 2040 the UK and France will ban and any car that will not be hybrid,” said Todt. “They want to encourage the introduction of the electric car, so in a way Formula E is ahead.
“Formula E is a show and it is a laboratory, and as a show people love entertainment, so we want this kind of feeling.”
The Frenchman added that that recent announcements of Porsche, BMW, Audi and Mercedes all joining the all-electric series have dispelled initial doubts about how popular it would be among manufacturers.
“We did not know who would come,” he admitted. “It is like a restaurant, you open it, you do your best and you don’t know who is going to come and eat there. Formula E was the same.
"We make a new championship and it has been great with the promoter and the FIA, we all truly believe in it. Now we know that manufacturers are competing to come, which is exactly what we want.” | positive |

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) made an appearance to promote her new book, “Sweet Freedom: A Devotional.”
During that appearance, she was asked by co-host Brian Kilmeade whicih Democratic candidate she thought was the strongest on national security in the wake last week’s event in Paris. Palin declined to offer a name of any Democratic candidate.
“There isn’t a Democratic candidate that is strong enough for any of the people if our desire is to stay safe and sovereign,” Palin said. “Thankfully, we do have Republicans in that field who are hawkish enough at this time that –”
As for which Republican presidential candidate, Palin specifically named Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and current party front-runner Donald Trump.
“Thankfully, Ted Cruz is extremely strong on this,” she added. “Donald Trump of course – he’s the one who will almost candidly tell you, ‘Let’s get in there and you know, bomb the [bleep], which I wrote a Christian book, so I’m able to …”

Cartoon Network Studios is taking a different approach to content launch strategy with today’s release of OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo, a free mobile game for iOS and Android devices created by animator Ian Jones-Quartey. This is the first creative franchise out of Cartoon Network Studios to be initially shared in the form of a game, and here’s where it gets even more interesting: Cartoon Network Studios will expand on this particular creative franchise by opening the game IP to 200 independent developers via a Cartoon Network Game Jam innovation festival that will be held February 12-14 in Portland, Oregon.
“This is definitely a first for us, opening up the process and bringing in a group of leading mobile game developers,” says Cartoon Network president and general manager Christina Miller (who holds the same titles at Adult Swim and Boomerang). “Open-source behavior really speaks to our overarching strategy in driving creative expression and innovation for our brand in different ways and really looking at content in a unique way, not a standard, linear way.”
Christina Miller
Working in teams, participants in the hackathon will have just 48 hours to create their own games based on the characters and the world explored in OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo. Set in the year 201X, the game—co-produced by animator Toby Jones, best known for Regular Show—centers on a young fighting champion named K.O. who does battle with a bad guy known as Lord Boxman who wants to use his army of robots to destroy a local strip mall. K.O.’s mom, Carol, is always teaching the boy new fighting techniques to give him the upper hand.
Given the multitude of characters and the location, Miller is confident that the developers taking part in the Game Jam will have plenty of material to work with. The team behind the most engaging OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo game spin-off will be awarded a creative contract with Cartoon Network Studios and see their game released at a later date.
Jones-Quartey, who has been a member of the Cartoon Network creative network for 10 years now, working on Steven Universe, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Adventure Time and The Venture Bros., will be at the Game Jam, of course, lending inspiration and helping to judge the output.
“That’s at the heart of what we do—putting creators at the center of the development process, whether it be a more traditional content process, or a gaming opportunity, or a live experience like this Game Jam,” Miller says.
There are possibilities beyond gaming for OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo that will be pursued, according to Miller, who says the story can potentially play out in a television series and through comic books and other means. (Jones-Quartey has actually completed a nearly nine-minute pilot for OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo.) | positive |
