Paul Thurlby graduated from University of Buckinghamshire and became a full-time illustrator, whose graphic style is instantly recognizable. He is a regular contributor to many publications, including THE GUARDIAN, THE TIMES, THE INDEPENDENT, and THE BIG ISSUE. Paul Thurlby lives in England.
What People are Saying About This
Is there any new way left to present the alphabet? The answer is "yes", as this graphic artist demonstrates when he applies his retro style to the ABCs. . . . Skillfully constructed and cleverly composed, it's an awesome alphabet book that adults will also appreciate.
—Kirkus Reviews
As is the custom with most such books, we travel in orderly fashion from A to B to C and onward, but here most letters take the shape of an object or idea-or the object or idea takes the shape of the letter, depending-with results that are both surprising and refreshing.
—Wall Street Journal
Each of Thurlby's letters is meticulously conceived - he often uses old books and pieces of paper for backgrounds, and his art has a very stylized, retro feel.

Currently I'm playing the JRPG, Ni No Kuni 2 and even though I'm enjoying it, I'm getting very annoyed with its text. It sounds absurd to be that frustrated by text but when it takes away from my experience, there is an issue. I don't like to give games a point based review on my blog. But if I were to give Ni No Kuni 2 a number out of 10, I'd probably deduct 0.5 from its final score just because of the text. It's that bad! Here's an example for you kind reader:
What is that?! Even on my 40 inch TV I struggle to read it. My vision as far as I'm aware is 20/20. I've never had any issues with reading things at a distance but with this game I really struggle. You have all that lovely space to use up on screen, whoever made this choice. I understand that you don't want to clutter the screen because the game looks amazing but I want to read what characters say. I wouldn't mind so much if each bit of dialogue is voiced but it isn't. These dialogue boxes aren't voiced in the dungeons. Not only that but they are frequent. So far they aren't necessary for the game but they provide nice character interactions and help to fill out the personalities of these people. I want to learn this stuff, I shouldn't be torn between focusing on where I'm going and reading banter. This is especially annoying if in the middle of combat or trying to do a stealth section. Which brings me to my next point and problem. Here is a GIF from the first stealth section of the game:
I apologise for the blurry text. First time creating one so I might be able to find a clearer source in the future. But! You don't need to be able to read that text. I just want you to see the problem. The text prompts require super fast reading skills. I haven't sped that up or slowed it down, that is the default speed. Now as you can imagine, at this point you are trying not to get noticed so you are extra vigilant. A text pop up happens and obviously you want to read it because it could be important and or informative. Your attention is needed to avoid the guards so you do the classic move. Eyes up, eyes down, eyes up, eyes down. You get snippets of text and then check your movements are on point and then back down for more text. On your 3rd attempt at this however, the text disappears. Information is lost forever. I shouldn't have to be The Flash of reading! It's a JRPG! These games are notorious for their game length. It's not like they're rushed for time so how about extending that to the dialogue boxes.
90% of these won't be important, I'm aware of that. I should have the ability to experience it thought if I want to. What the characters are talking about though is key to creating this universe it's set in. It could be Roland's thoughts on this new world that he finds himself in. That connection between him and me experiencing this world for the first time is vital in my opinion. He is my eyes and voice. Young Evan has just lost his father recently in the game's timeline. He could be scared of this adventure he is setting out on but longs to be a strong leader like his father. I may miss that dialogue because of the fast and small text if he says it whilst in a dungeon. It doesn't matter what he is saying, it could be his favourite Monster Munch flavour for all I care! The point is, those words, no matter what they are, flesh out this world and it's inhabitants. To really delve into the universe, filler text is important. Bioshock got it right with its audio logs. You don't need to read the subtitles as you have the audio but at least you have the choice. Rapture's past is brought to life by those recordings. It's just a shame that something so easy to fix in games, tends to be ignored or unnoticed. An option to change text size shouldn't be difficult to implement. I've not even mentioned people whose sight is worse than mine. Everyone is different and the more options we have in games for different people, the better.
Hopefully you enjoyed my whinge and let me know if you've experienced similar to this. Side question, what's your favourite Monster Munch flavour? I'm a beef guy myself. Cheers for reading!

Just 50 days to go to the FINA World Championships in Gwangju (KOR)
The southern metropolitan city of Gwangju, South Korea, is gearing up to welcome the 18th edition of the FINA World Championships 2019 and the world's best aquatic athletes.
The countdown to FINA's signature event reaches 50 days to go today (May 23, 2019).
Under the theme "Dive into Peace," the competition will run from July 12-28 in Gwangju, about 330 kilometers south of Seoul, while the town of Yeosu will host the open water swimming races at the Yeosu Expo Ocean Park.
Gwangju is the third Asian host city of this major event, after Japan's Fukuoka in 2001 and China's Shanghai in 2011.
The local organisers said preparations are well on track, with final touches being finalised.
The athletes will vie for 76 gold medals in six disciplines (swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming, open water swimming and high diving).
Gwangju previously hosted the 2015 Summer Universiade and received high marks for running a cost-effective competition. For the World Championships, the city plans to use the main pool constructed for the Universiade.
Sung Baik-You, Gwangju 2019 Organising Committee spokesman said to the Korean news agency Yonhap:
"This competition will open new horizons in swimming in the country,"
"We may not be a swimming powerhouse yet, but we'll hopefully become one. After the World Championships, we hope there will be more swimming pools built across the nation and more people will take up the sport. And maybe some of them will develop into elite swimmers."
Gwangju Organising Committee has prepared a series of cultural events and tour programmes for visitors for July and is working on a special bus route for foreign tourists to visit the city, which is known as a fine culinary destination.
For the duration of the World Championships, Gwangju will host traditional music concerts and dance festivals for athletes, officials and fan. The popular Daein Night Market will be up and running, while the Gwangju Fringe Festival, featuring art performances and exhibitions, will be in full swing.

My new article is up on Bible and Interpretation. Here is a snippet:
I wish to pose this question to all accredited academic institutions: "How do we want to educate students in the field of Biblical Studies?" There are perhaps dozens of answers which could be given. I suspect that any answer will depend greatly upon one's affiliations academically. A scholar teaching the Bible at a research institution will probably have a very different answer than one teaching at a seminary or Christian College. Then there are also Catholic universities which probably share a different perspective all together. How one answers this question has some serious implications, both morally and professionally—the answers posited by some have become the cause of a recent crisis in the field.

In boarding school in India, we waited eagerly for power cuts.
Power cuts to us kids meant we could light our candles and play with wax. We'd light up pencils, erasers or anything that we could find.
We could also avoid our homework. Instead of doing work, we just played in the dark.
Power cuts happened so often, we knew how to walk in the dark to the mess hall to eat dinner. And then made the trek back to our dorm rooms with no light.
We got ready for bed using a few lanterns that ran on kerosene.
In India then, electricity was as much a luxury as a necessity. We knew how to live with or without it.
That was then. Today, in India and the world over, electricity, and more generally energy, is a necessity. Life stops when there is no energy.
In the United States, energy is the lifeblood of our economy. And right now, we're undergoing a historic transition to a new form of energy.
This new form of energy is going to disrupt at least three major parts of our economy. And I believe it's going to make massive fortunes for those who invest in it.
New Energy: a Mega Trend
On Friday, I introduced the fourth megatrend in Profits Unlimited. This mega trend is new energy.
New energy is energy that comes from natural sources.
Sources like the sun, wind, waves or geothermal.
The other thing about new energy is that it's storable and portable.
Finally, the last thing about new energy is that it's local, meaning you get your energy from a site that's near you, like your house.
When you put it together, it means a revolution in how we live, work and travel.
This month, I told my readers in Profits Unlimited to buy into the company that's leading the new-energy revolution … and that it's going to be bigger than Amazon and Google combined.
You see, this company has products that touch every aspect of new energy, from getting its energy from natural sources, to storing it so it can be generated locally and finally, to making it portable so that it can be used for travel.

I Talked Like Daria For A Week & Felt Empowered
Guys, I have some news that you're going to want to be sat down for: Daria premiered on MTV 20 years ago. How did we all get so old, so fast? What's makes that fact all the more devastating is that Daria, as a show and a character, feels just as significant and necessary today as it was back then. In fact, look at any one of Daria's best quotes and you'll instantly see just how relevant the character is for contemporary culture and society. So, in order to test the character's significance in 2017, I talked like Daria for a week, to see what would happen. And the results, frankly, were thrilling.
Because, the character was smart, resilient, outspoken, and politically aware, and she delivered some of the sharpest, wittiest comebacks in all of pop culture. In short: Daria was a nasty woman, and she's exactly the kind of character that we could all benefit from summoning the power of, right now. It's worth noting, for the sake of transparency, that I'm hardly the polar opposite of Daria's character. In fact, while I was growing up, parents, teachers, friends and enemies, alike, all thought they were being clever by calling me Daria due to my unbridled cynicism and bleak World view (they weren't. I relished the comparison).
However, I'm a grown woman now and have since learned to (mostly) reign in my ranting and cynicism and be (again, mostly) positive about life. But for the sake of this experiment, I decided to unchain my brooding, teenage mindset and invoke my inner Daria, inviting the character to speak for me during the most mundane occurrences of my everyday life. And here's how that went...
Day One
I figure that since today is one of my days off that I may as well begin this experiment with an event sure to bring my inner Daria to the forefront: A lunch date with my parents. Thankfully, my parents are way more low-key and laid back than Helen and Jake Morgendorffer ever were. And yet, like many Millennials, I still find myself instantly morphing back into a version of my difficult, teenage self whenever I spend more than five minutes in their presence.
We enjoy a catch-up over a couple of beers, and the conversation is pretty chilled. Until, that is, we start to inexplicably discuss how my particular generation needs to "start planning for the future," and shouldn't I be starting to build up some respectable savings so that I can live comfortably when I'm older?
"Oh sure," I tell them, "Maybe if I live in Grandma's car and subsist on a diet of canned beans now, I can live out my final years in one of those Kiss branded coffins I've always admired so much".
My Dad laughs. My Mom rolls her eyes. Nailed it.
Day Two
After a long working day, I decide to treat myself and my partner to a romantic date night consisting of a home cooked meal and a movie. Except, my date for the night has misplaced some important work documents and spends the majority of the evening loudly complaining while he tears through our apartment trying to find them. I sort of attempt to help, but my lackluster involvement provokes a predictable argument. This is the reality of love, guys.
Feeling like a realist, I decide to abandon my meal plan and instead order a pizza — a food that even Daria knew was the true flavor of love. When it arrives I carry it in like a doughy, cheese-dripping dove of Peace, remove a slice and pile it straight into his mouth.
He smiles, and as he's eating, I deadpan retort with, "...because nothing says 'I love you, please shut up and kiss me' like having the woman of your dreams cram hot cheese into your mouth." We stop arguing. We share a kiss. Pizza is victory.
Day Three
By the third day, I'm totally feeling my inner Daria and decide to unleash her on the mild mannered public. I do some writing in a coffee shop which, after a while, becomes overrun with loud, excitable children. Children who all appear to be aggressively tweaking off their respective sugar rushes and inexplicable zest for life.
Like Daria, I'm pretty sure that I didn't even like children when I myself was a child, so this scenario is less than favorable. However, it does provide a delicious opportunity for a Daria-ism, when I (regrettably) decide to order myself another drink. I stare incredulously at the preppy waitress, who also shares an enviable zest for life, and decide to test out my skills:
"You definitely need to stop serving so much caffeine to these kids," I tell the waitress, keeping my face as straight and inexpressive as possible, "one more shot of coffee in them and we're gonna have a Children Of The Corn style problem on our hands."
The waitress furrows her brow in confusion. I attempt to explain to her the relevancy of the reference, and of the children of the story killing the town's adults but I've clearly massively missed the mark on this one. I apologize, order another coffee and quietly sit my ass back down.
Day Four
Feeling emboldened by Daria's protective armor of sharp cynicism, I head to a local bar wearing the low-key outfit I've been working in all day, to meet up with some friends. Without a shred of makeup on, and wearing a pair of dungarees that have definitely seen better days, I approach the bar and join the queue of people waiting to make their order.
After waiting several minutes, my "look" attracts the attention of a young guy in a suit who saunters over to me with rapt enthusiasm. He's grinning ear to ear as he looks me up and down and says, "You know, you wouldn't look half bad if you'd just make a bit of an effort for yourself."
Without even having to think about it, I respond, "Oh gee, thanks. If you want to wait here for me, I can head home, shower, shave, smear myself in makeup, and throw on a pair of heels and we can make this delightful dream a reality."
He grimaces at me, nods and walks away in defeat. I no longer know where Daria starts and I end.
Day Five
Now feeling nothing but disdain for the outside world, I stay home. I'm supposed to be working, but in all truth, I've wasted three solid hours listening to true crime podcasts while aimlessly browsing the internet. A co-worker messages me to ask how the project we're both working on together is going for me. Daria's voice is the one that responds:
"Well, if procrastination counts as prep work then I've had a successful, busy morning. At the startling rate with which I'm failing to work, I may even need to reward myself with pizza and take a nap soon."
She doesn't give me a response. I fire her another message that simply says, "Sorry. I'll be on it this afternoon." Which is the only message she chooses to take seriously, replying "Great! You had me worried for a second there."
Day Six
Unexpectedly, today the experiment has inspired me to get out there and endure social situations I usually dread. Specifically, I decide to attend an exhibition opening at a local gallery. An experience which usually infuses me with a rattled sense of anxiety. But it's fine, because this time I can just be Daria, instead of the walking panic attack that I usually am.
Naturally, it's only a matter of minutes before I'm unwittingly hobnobbing with press and artist types and someone dares to ask me, "What do you do?"
"Well," I respond, holding my free glass of wine close to my chest, "Mostly I procrastinate and panic over small, mostly insignificant details while worrying that my entire life is passing me by at a rapid, unforgiving speed. But in my spare time from that, I also write."
This is a statement that the good, artistic community of my city appreciates. Nobody cracks a smile, though one woman does grab my hand in sympathy. I look down at it in awkward confusion and can hear the Daria theme tune start up in my head.
Day Seven
Maintaining this level of cynicism is exhausting, so I spend the majority of the day huddled up under a blanket on my couch. I have a slight hangover (damn that free wine) and feel like absolute crap because of it. After a few hours of inertia, my partner concernedly tells me that I might feel better if I just get up and actually start doing things.
"You're right. Why would I want to feel like crap here on the couch when I could feel like crap in the shower, in the kitchen, or down at the grocery store?"
He glares at me with an understandable, worn down frustration, "Isn't this experiment over yet? Are you done?"
"Yeah," I tell him, "Sorry. I'm done." And then I get up and actually start doing things. I don't feel any better for it.
To conclude, I found it worryingly easy to talk like Daria for a week. It also felt liberating to simply say exactly what was on my mind, be as dry and cynical as I wanted and just not give a damn about what anyone thought. Her personality and irreverent conversation style might not suit every scenario, but when it does it's so good that it would even make Daria herself crack a smile. Clearly, 2017 needs her more than ever, and I think I speak for everyone when I say: A Daria revival needs to happen, like, yesterday. Make it happen, world.

The U.S. Department of Labor is pressing ahead with its "Plan, Prevent, Protect" initiative announced in April, 2010 (See EANJ Archived Webinar, September 2010).
A Department Q&A session held on Jan. 6, 2011 gave a preview of what the agency has in store for employers. Among the plans are requiring employers to notify workers whether they're employees or independent contractors, and why. Plans for new recordkeeping rules requiring employers to provide wage statements each pay period to employees are are also under consideration

Are Your Employees Embezzling From You?
About 10 min
Employee embezzlement continues to be a key factor of shrinking profits for U.S. employers. The fourth annual study conducted by Marquet International, an investigative, litigation support and due diligence firm, studied 473 employee theft schemes which totaled $100,000 or more per incident. This was the fourth annual study conducted to analyze key factors of employee embezzlement. The total loss from all incidents within the study totaled over $355 million in employee theft and fraud. The report suggests that employee misconduct and internal corporate fraud will continue to be a factor as the U.S. economy continues to struggle; however, key drivers for employee embezzlement will continue to be an overwhelming factor in any economy.
The following were notable statistics from the 2011 study:
- The financial industry was the hardest hit by industry category
- The average loss was $750,000
- Over 72% of the incidents included perpetrators with positions in finance, bookkeeping and accounting
- The average scheme lasted almost 5 years
- The average embezzler stole $15,189 per month from their employer
- The average age of an individual was 42 years old
- Almost 90% of the cases involved an individual perpetrator
The study analyzed each of the 473 employee theft schemes and broke them out by using standard industry classifications to further categorize victim organizations. The financial services industry continues to be the hardest hit and is consistent with prior studies. The following is a breakdown of total loss by industry from the 2011 study:
|Financial services
|Food and agriculture
|Real Estate
|Business Services
Motivating Factors of Embezzlers
The study revealed that there are several motivating factors used by perpetrators to rationalize their actions which included: belief of entitlement; financial need; lavish lifestyle; gambling issues; shopping addiction; substance abuse; or the need to support a personal business or significant other. Of the cases studied, over 58% of embezzlers rationalized their actions by way of excessive greed or the desire to live a more lavish lifestyle. Gambling was the second highest key factor as 21% of the cases studied were attributed to gambling issues. Over 7% of embezzlers were motivated by the need to finance a personal business, and the fourth highest category was substance addiction which equated to over 5% of the cases studied.
Methods of Embezzlement and Position Held
Employees continue to steal from their employers using several different methods of fraud. Although some perpetrators used multiple methods and schemes, the study breaks down the following key categories and rates them as a percentage of total dollars lost. The use of forged/unauthorized checks is certainly the number one method used for fraud as embezzlers cut unauthorized checks for the benefit of the perpetrator. Theft of cash is a close second as a wide range of employees from each category may have access to cash. The following is a breakdown by theft scheme:
|Forged/unauthorized checks
|Theft/conversion of cash receipts
|Unauthorized electronic transfers
|Payroll shenanigans
|Credit card/account abuse
|Vendor fraud schemes
|Fraudulent reimbursement schemes
|Bogus loan schemes
|Theft from tax or benefit accounts
|Inventory/equipment theft/conversion
Over the past four years, the study has analyzed the types of employee theft schemes and also the position of the perpetrator within the company. Employees with fiduciary and accounting responsibilities, such as CFOs, bookkeepers and bank tellers, continue to have the biggest link to employee theft and fraud. Of the study, over 72% of fraudulent acts came from employees with a position within the financial category. The following is a breakdown of category types and their relationship to overall employee theft and fraud.
|Human Resources
Embezzlers with Prior Criminal History
Of the 473 cases studied, 23 perpetrators or 5% had engaged in prior criminal activity or fraud. According to Marquet International, this figure is consistent with prior studies; however, the report underscores that this figure is estimated to be between 5%-10% as information to prior criminal activity was not readily available and not all criminal matters were prosecuted.
The following criminal statistics were derived from the information that was gathered from the 23 perpetrators as stated above:
- 78% of criminals held financial positions
- 91% of criminals were solo embezzlers
- 70% of prior criminals were female
- 57% of prior criminals employed a forged/unauthorized check scheme
Curbing Embezzlement in Your Organization
Unfortunately, there is no simple antidote to eradicating employee theft and embezzlement; however, employers can take a proactive stance in curbing many of the methods used within their organization. The use of duel signatures on checks; tighter access to cash receipts and credit cards; inventory audits; tighter security and risk management protocols can certainly help. In addition, the knowledge of your employees' criminal past or financial security can provide key warning signs for future risk. By incorporating a comprehensive due diligent background screening program, a company can properly assess potential candidates and screen current employees on an ongoing basis to look for potential risk factors.
Applicant Fraud May Be a Sign of Things to Come from a New Employee
Let's face it, fraud and embezzlement can start even before your employee is part of your workforce. Job applicants commit acts of fraud right on their resume or job application. If a candidate is willing to commit fraud at this stage, how can they be trusted when they're an employee? All of an applicant's information should be carefully scrutinized and verified before it's taken at face value. Here are few acts of fraud that every employer should be aware of:
- Listing fake companies as part of their resume or job application
- Stretching dates of employment to cover-up negative job references
- Inflating prior job titles, duties or responsibilities
- Leaving unexplained gaps in employment
- Lying about termination status or reason for leaving a previous employer
- Lying about previous wage information to gain additional income
- Lying about education history or degrees awarded
Beyond verifying a candidate's credentials, here are additional areas that employers need to consider as part of a comprehensive due diligence strategy to help detect and deter potential embezzlers:
County/State/National Criminal Records Search
The use of a comprehensive criminal history search in all areas where a candidate has lived, worked or even attended school will help detect prior misdemeanor and/or felony criminal history of fraud, theft and embezzlement. National criminal database information can be used to help fill in the gaps.
County Civil Records
Civil records should be searched to help uncover prior county level civil proceedings as they relate to suits, judgments, liens, and can uncover prior fraudulent acts.
Federal Criminal and Civil Records
Federal records include criminal complaints brought by the U.S. government against defendants for violation of federal criminal law. Crimes such as bank robbery, embezzlement, drug trafficking, crimes committed across state-lines, or even tax evasions are examples of these offenses.
Credit History
Credit reports can provide insight into a candidate's stability and trustworthiness for a specific position. Credit reports should be considered for employees with financial responsibilities, accounting functions, entrusted with corporate credit or debit or dealing with cash. Credit reports may also divulge other public records information such as bankruptcy or other public records. Credit reports should never be used to discriminate against a candidate or used in violation of state laws.
Drug Testing
Pre-employment and on-going drug testing can help spot drug abusers and the potential for risks and liabilities they bring into the workplace. As stated in this study, substance abusers have the potential to commit acts of fraud or theft to help finance their addictive habits.
Ongoing Screening
Employers should also consider ongoing screening as personal, financial and criminal history information related to each employee changes on an on-going basis. Negative or derogatory information obtained early could be warning signs for potential fraud or embezzlement.
By incorporating a solid screening program, employers can assess, screen and credential their applicants and employees and alleviate the overwhelming cost, risks and liabilities that theft and embezzlement bring into the workplace. Employment Background Investigations (EBI) works with employers globally to provide a full range of comprehensive and legally compliant employment background checks, drug testing, occupational healthcare and electronic form I-9 solutions. Our "Just One Solution" suite of services will help reduce the risks and liabilities of a bad hire!

Proud Mary (2018)
If you enjoy Can't Stop the Movies, contributions help me eat and pay rent. Please consider becoming a monthly Patron or sending a one-time contribution via PayPal.
Mary's been working for, and finding love in, one of Boston's most powerful crime families. Danny was orphaned by Mary after she kills his father during a routine assassination. Some time later their paths cross with Mary hoping to break the cycle of violence and take Danny with her. Babak Najafi directs Proud Mary, with the screenplay written by John Stuart Newman, Christian Swegal, and Steve Antin, and stars Taraji P. Henson.
Taraji P. Henson has a spot on my personal list of performers who make everything better by simply appearing in their product. From the big to small screen - Henson has squared off with the likes of Terrence Howard, William Shatner, and Janelle Monáe, stolen the spotlight from them, and made whatever product she's in feel more unpredictable because of her presence. The only other performer I can say that about is Eva Greene, and should the two cross paths in a film somewhere down the line I may rip myself apart like a '90s superhero.
A star of her caliber should not have been forced to carry the entire promotional work of Proud Mary on her own and that's essentially what happened earlier this year. Now that I've seen Proud Mary, I understand why but not to distributor Paramount's benefit. Proud Mary isn't the slam-bang action film the trailer might have made it out to be. Instead, Proud Mary is something weirder and more entertaining with Henson's unpredictable performance as Mary spreading to the rest of the cast, resulting in a once charming then menacing turn from Danny Glover and others.
The closest analogue I have to Proud Mary is another strange film, Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. Babak Najafi, who directed Proud Mary, doesn't have Jarmusch's cool or melancholic spirit but knows well enough to give the performers space to breathe when they're doing interesting work. Mary (Henson) is a gripping figure from our first glimpse of her on, donning a comically ineffective blonde wig (which I took as a sly dig at how many white women throw on a blonde wig and are undetectable in other films involving assassins), and playing a creepy lurking mentor to young Danny (Jahi Di'Allo Winston).
All the credit in the world to Henson, who makes Mary out to be somewhat unstable and dropping overly obvious hints to Danny about what she really does. Their relationship is what gives Proud Mary most of its unpredictability as Danny - rightly - wonders why this strange woman dragged him into her home and is more comfortable being covered in blood than with Danny's cursing. There's good reason for her idiosyncratic nature as hints get slowly doled out over Proud Mary's run-time, but the tension between her and Danny never lets up. Winston is a great partner for Henson and cuts through this fantasy mother / son relationship Mary wants with just enough incredulity to make his continued presence in her life understandable while leaving the question open as to how long he'll stay around.
Henson and Winston's tense, odd, and unpredictable chemistry leaked over into additional supporting work by Glover and Billy Brown (who I'm not familiar with, but is damn entertaining in Proud Mary). Their's is a family matter and Mary the inter-generational tool that gets treated to flowers 'n sunshine so long as she does what she's told. Glover works especially well here, tuning into some of that old police nobility before becoming truly vile in his closing moments and Brown amplifies Glover's example which culminates in a complex scene where Brown has to portray grief, excitement, lust, and rage all at once.
I admit that the audience has to be on a weird wavelength for Proud Mary to work but it worked excellently for me. Najafi did well to let the performers have their way with the material and directs a few of great action scenes in the meantime. They all have a strong whiff of where Mary is personally - the first impulsive and angry, second methodical and silent (plus where the Ghost Dog influence is strongest), and the last a spectacular struggle for survival and identity where the needle finally drops for the song I was waiting for.
Proud Mary is a solid example of performers and direction overcoming a painfully bad script. There are three credited writers - John Stuart Newman, Christian Swegal, and Steve Antin - and divorcing the plot plus dialogue from the performances shows how thinly stretched out the concept for Proud Mary was. It's pulled apart by the split between street-level dramatics, a straightforward badass action film, and a quirky family melodrama. Henson single-handedly sketched an escape route through Proud Mary, but even she shouldn't have had to utter a line sharing the same block with, "If you love me, let me go."
I'm deeply disappointed in the way studios have basically given up on promoting promising films this year if they are led by talented women (see Paramount and Annihilation for another example). But Proud Mary's release on DVD and digital gives it an opportunity to find a home with viewers who like their action films a bit off the beaten path. Henson is a damn heroine for what she does with Proud Mary, and I hope you follow her lead to the same enjoyment I felt.

cmuenchow Registered User, Administrator, HES StaffAre you using a 2.0.0.XXX IP address with a 255.0.0.0 subnet for the DP8K artnet source address? Arkaos vj dmx requires an artnet source in that range. I have the vj dmx demo running here in our test lab with a DP8K so I am happy to help you.

i patch a arkaos ,it doesn't work , i try with dimmer the same
i look for dmx workshop ,is ee nothing
The HogNet and Art-Net networks on the DP8000 need to be on different address ranges. You have both of them setup to be 2.x.x.x./255.0.0.0. This is not a valid network setup.
Configure the HogNet to be in a different subnet, say 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0.
Also, for simple configurations like this, use broadcast rather than unicast.
computer 1 arkaos vj

184.108.40.206 255.0.0.0

with magicQ there is no problem ,all is ok
please help
cmuenchow Registered User, Administrator, HES StaffSo you are trying to use Hog3PC to send artnet to Arkaos? I guess I misunderstood your original post and assume you were using a Wholehog 3 with a real DMX Processor 8000.
Unfortunately Hog3PC does not ouput artnet directly. Only the physical DMX Processor 8000 and the Road Hog Full Boar have this capability.
We still included the artnet interface in Hog3PC to help facilitate offline editing and artnet settings preparation for show files, but Hog3PC standalone itself does not output artnet.
Holti Registered UserYou need an Enttec dongle.
look here:
With it it functions really. The original Wheelset edit is not to be used if you arkaos patch.
Use this here.
HES you can integrate thus in library on the next update, please!!!
greet Marc
DrEad Registered UserHi,
You can use a piece of software called SandNet to link Hog3PC to an arKaos comp via artnet...
can you explain?
how do you do
DrEad Registered UserHi,
I haven't done it myself sorry, but a few people in the ArKaos forum are doing it.
What I understand from the ArKaos forums is with the SandNet program installed and running on same PC as Hog3PC, it can read the HogNet or Hog DMX output and convert it to ArtNet and output via the PC Lan connector. If the 2 PC's are connected via a switch or a crossover Lan cable then you can control the ArKaos.
I am unable to get to the www.sandsys.com website to download the software. If anyone has another link to where it can be downloaded from it would be appreciated!
ahelgor Registered Userjut a little clarification.. Sandnet works with Hog2pc, not Hog3pc!
..-and you still need the dmx widget to "unlock" the feature.. but yes, Sandnet works perfect for that purpose.. you can actually convert from/to a whole bunch of protocols..

How do I get the old controls back? On mobile now It's much harder to select and add/stack units, and the information bar of the units is huge and takes up the screen so I have to zoom in and out to send units to the correct places

Hay alguna posibilidad de poder crear una partida de guerra mundial historica pero con clave , de ese modo , un colectivo de jugadores poder jugar una partida de rol a partir de un guión?
So how will me know if a scenario is 1.0 or 1.5 version? Have you ever considered an American Civil War version of Call of War? Or what about Commanders with a bonus? You track unit wins already. Why not develop a system where a unit can turn into a great commander? And be used in future scenarios?

I have studies the Game's Dynamics Quite well. I have a proposal for the games trade system you may be interested in
hello, not sure who to talk to, I have High Command and do not see many gold rounds anymore, have they cut back on the number of times they offer them ??
wrong, wrong, wrong
Hi, I have a problem, I bought about 55,000 gold, yesterday I invested all of the gold into construction or production, but it happened to me repeatedly (about 5 times) that I clicked on gold (to pay for construction shortening or production shortening) but the time has not decreased ... I lost a few thousand gold (costing 12 hours cost 850 gold) ... I am quite surprised how bad it works, the system has such problems ... Can you return my gold that was deducted even though I didn't get anything for it? Thank you. Thomas

ok freezy, look: You know the new renderer, right? I dont know if you where part of that project, and if so, this is just how I feel for it.
You know, I love that new smooth feeling when scrolling and stuff... but i hate everything else! It does'nt feel like call of war should feel. Anyways, let's get to the point: Will this renderer be permanent sometime? Or will you allways have the choise to choose the new settings or not.
PS: If you answer me, I'lll subscribe you'r account!

Freezy, I have a suggestion to assist when reviewing a person's stats. The changes to separate stats from 'real' people to 'bots' has been great! I now find myself when looking at a person's stats to take the number of kills and divide it by the number of games to see how many real people they avg killing per game. This stat allows me to know if the player averages a high number of kills per game and I treat them differently when attacking or considering alliances. Obviously it is an easy add-on if you all deem it worthy so I don't have to calc all the time...
RedBeerd -
My biggest problem is the game is not mobile app friendly. Why make an app if you can't do all that PC players can. Here are the things:
1) can't apply or join Alliances bc you can't scroll down or anything except click on the alliance name.
2) Cant make new games, so you have to wait for someone to make one and by that time most or the country you want to play as is taken.
3) Can't see the game time for that match to see when the day reset is
4) can't copy and paste conversations from other chats
All of these I have stated multiple times in the God for saken frequent pop up of rating the game/suggestions when playing this game. Please it's annoying every other day eating your game and putting in serious suggestions.
Amazing game and keep up the good work.
Oh and lastly I think it's stupid my troops don't defend automatically when attacked in a city/territory. My troops die a lot in the night while sleeping bc someone attacks and they don't fight. That's a big bug.
Thank you and have a great day

Yes!!! Finally!!!
Thaa jis ka intezar woh shahkar aa gaya –
The long awaited and much anticipated Zindagi Gulzar Hai promos are out!!!
Promo 1: Fawad Khan as Zaroon – writing his diary, reflecting on the various aspects of a woman's personality, hinting at his tempestuous relationship with Kashaf, their nok jhonk, his aggravation at, and his reluctant interest in, this girl who has turned his ordered life upside down and challenges him every step of the way in college. His well furnished bedroom, his clothes, basically the overall look reflects his comfortable upper-class socio-economic background.
Promo 2: Sanam Saeed as Kashaf – writing her diary, reflecting on the challenges she faces as woman. Her frustration with her location in life is plainly evident in her words. Her clothes and humbly furnished room point to her less than luxurious background.
From the teasers we've seen so far it seems like the original format of Umera Ahmed's story – narrated through diary entries – has been kept intact. It will be interesting to see how the new characters have been added in and how the original ones have been fleshed out. Zindagi Gulzar Hai also marks the return of the veteran director Sultana Siddiqui, and it is with great pleasure that I look forward to seeing her work her magic onscreen. Add to that Shahzad Kashmiri's cinematography and MD Productions' patented hallmark hall of fame stamp and seems like we have a winner here.
Having seen hugely anticipated projects go bust recently, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this one, but after seeing these teasers, I think we are rightfully excited. Fawad Khan looks, well… no need for me to say anything… you ladies can fill in the blanks more than adequately. Sanam Saeed is looking good as Kashaf. Initial prediction: No ashks here, methinks!
So, to answer the question I pose as the title of this post: Zindagi Gulzar Hai? Yes!!!!

A heat pump is the most advanced and efficient heating and cooling system available today. With over 55% of annual household energy expenses attributed to heating and cooling, energy experts recommend heat pumps because they are the most economical way to keep your home comfortable year-round.Choosing an energy efficient heat pump is the best purchase you can make for your home. In fact, a heat pump is an ideal heating and cooling option for almost any building. Using a heat pump and insulating your duct work will make a big impact on those heating and cooling bills.
How do Heat Pumps work?
A heat pump is basically an air system with a reversing valve. These systems use electricity to move the heat found naturally in the air or ground to keep your home or business comfortable year-round. During the cooling season, a heat pump moves warm air out of your home creating a cool indoor environment just like an air conditioner. During the heating season, a heat pump extracts warm air from outside or beneath the ground and moves it into your home.

Network Leadership: five steps to strengthening your network
This guest post from the YNPN National Leaders Conference comes to us from Sarah Kinser, founding co-chair of YNPN Little Rock and communications director for Arkansas Community Foundation. You can find her on Twitter @sarahkinser.
How can you build a movement to create meaningful change?
That's the question underlying Marissa Tirona's presentation on network leadership at this year''s CompassPoint Nonprofit Day conference. Tirona, senior project director for CompassPoint offered a primer on this emerging leadership model, which emphasizes creating change through open collaboration, experimentation and shared leadership.
The practical takeaways for YNPN members?
1. Map your network. How connected are you, really? Take a snapshot of your network by plotting out connections with individuals and organizations on a web. You'll be able to visualize trends and patterns in the way people connect, and you'll be able to identify key partners who can help you extend your network's reach.
Set a goal to reach out to less-connected members of your web to help them establish more relationships, or target a few new organizations to add to your web.
2. Identify "network weavers". Help your network thrive by recruiting leaders who will build and nurture connections. Every team needs:
- Weavers/Connectors who excel in meeting new contacts (people) and matching people with others who share overlapping interests.
- Project Coordinators who manage tasks, keep ideas moving forward, and maintain contact with team members.
- Network Facilitators who convene people and help focus the network.
- Network Guardians who nurture the network by establishing systems, communications processes, and resources.
That means everyone has to be in the know! Rather than holding key institutional knowledge within a central insider group, network leadership advocates throwing open the doors to create transparency and share knowledge. Within your organization, you can institutionalize communication practices that keep the entire network informed via social media, wikis, blogs, open meetings or member summits.
4. Position yourself (or your organization) to be a collaborator.Tirona says that one of the best ways to build your network is to start by listening. For YNPN chapters, that might mean taking a tour of nonprofits to hear about their work and to ask what services the YNPN chapter could offer that would be beneficial to their employees, or conducting a survey of other key organizations working to build the local nonprofit sector to learn about how their services overlap with, or are distinct from, YNPN's. Starting the conversation by listening creates an open space where natural partnerships can form.
How is your chapter working to expand its network and share leadership?
Rockstars! We keep growing, keep evolving!
The YNPN journey is now 14 years old, and though we have evolved, we have remained true to that first initial goal - to provide professional development for young people in the nonprofit sector. From a group of young professionals gathering in a San Francisco coffee shop in 1997, YNPN now boasts a staggering 34 chapters across the nation with over 30,000 members. Additionally, we also have 13 start-up chapters working to develop into full-fledged chapters within our network.
Over the past two years, I have had the unique opportunity of working closely with YNPN chapters, monitoring their growth and providing resources and tools to enable their success. I've heard their tales of struggles to find board members that can be the champions to continue the work of the chapter once the first crop of founding board members move on; debating the merits of 501c3 vs. fiscal sponsorship; navigating the waters of paid membership; and building programming that addresses the needs and interests of members.
I'd like to share with you a few recent highlights from the network of YNPN chapters around the country:
• In Fall 2010, YNPNdc kicked of Voices of the Sector (VOTS). This was a new program that created a unique space to discuss a variety of subjects from the economic downturn and intergenerational power-sharing to nonprofit accountability, cross-sector collaboration, and nonprofit workforce diversity. To date, they have had several VOTS events with key constituents in the community.
• In January 2011, YNPN Houston partnered with Volunteers of America and Reach to Achieve Mentoring to raise awareness for National Mentoring Month (January). They hosted several podcast interviews with young professionals to discuss the impact mentoring has had on their professional growth; hear one of the podcasts that had YNPN leaders discuss mentoring in their lives
• A signature event for YNPN Triad (North Carolina) is the "State of the Nonprofit Sector in the Triad" event that draws a large crowd of professionals to discuss trends, challenges, and brainstorm solutions to problems occurring in the community. The next such event will be in May 2011; take a look at the last presentation given.
• One of our newest chapters to the network, YNPN Little Rock appears to be off to a great start already. YNPN Little Rock officially kicked-off with their first event last October and already they have an impressive slate of professional development events scheduled for the coming months including speed networking, an advocacy event, and roundtable networking with nonprofit leaders from the community.
• A chapter that is less than 2 years old, YNPN Detroit has already cemented itself as a leader in the Detroit nonprofit community by hosting several professional development events and connecting people to the numerous resources available in the city. Their Twitter feed is a must-read- full of the amazing discussion the chapter drives such as how to engage your board on development and sponsorships to tools on how to negotiate salary and benefits at your job. Their twitter handle is @ynpndetroit.
Coordinating the work of start-up chapters has been another fulfilling area of work I have supported in my time on the YNPN National board. Every month, YNPN receives notices from people across the nation (and across the globe) interested in starting a YNPN chapter in their community. Assessing their readiness to start a chapter, discussing resources individuals might use to spread the word about that start-up chapter, and helping to coordinate the first, second, or perhaps third events for that start-up chapter is a steady, slow process that can take 9 months. The process is intentional to ensure the full success of the start-up once they become full-fledged chapters.
I am constantly amazed at the speed at which YNPN is growing and all of the amazing things our chapters are doing. We may still have a long way to go before all young nonprofit professionals have a YNPN chapter to count on, but the road ahead is full of inspiring work and energetic young people leading the way.

#YNPN11: The ynpnGR Experience and "A-Ha" Moments
Each year, YNPN asks a local chapter to host the National Leaders Conference, which is an opportunity for chapter leaders around the country to learn from one another. As the YNPN network grows, we have more and more opportunities to showcase local chapters and the innovations happening in the local nonprofit sector in regions around the country.
We've asked this year's host YNPN Grand Rapids to reflect on their experience this year as host to the YNPN network.
In September 2010, ynpnGR found out we would be hosting the YNPN National Conference in Spring 2011. The anticipation to start planning was great and many of us had more fears about the process than we were excited about hosting. Our planning launched in November 2011 when we formed the Super Squad and excitement began to overcome our fears for how the conference would come together. We had many brown bag lunches to discuss the conference, and our Super Squad began digging into details. The dedication of the Super Squad was amazing, and although there were a few "scary" bumps in the road, they all worked together to pull the conference off in the end.
March 25 came very quickly, and before we knew it, we were all sitting around the table Saturday night saying, "Wow the conference is really over!" All of it was worth it. ynpnGR made some new friends with local organizations, and built up a new base of members and dedicated committee members to help support successful programming throughout the year.
Over the course of Friday and Saturday, we were able to see all our efforts come together, with great breakout sessions and headliners, including the amazing Innovation Series. The highlight for many of us on the Super Squad was seeing the nonprofit community and members of YNPN from across the country come together for the Nonprofit Smackdown on Friday night. The energy and excitement in the room truly proved the conference we had created was a success.
Our amazing network of YNPNers across the country supported all that the Super Squad accomplished. The energy and excitement all our chapters bring to the network is phenomenal, and bringing that energy to Grand Rapids was proof that we are not in this alone. The issues and successes our local YNPN members have been experiencing are shared with other members across the country.
Bringing the network together in our hometown has made a significant impact on our board and the programming we are going to be able to provide throughout the coming years. The support of the network has supported new energy and growth in all of our board and committee members. For that, we are truly thankful for all that hosting the YNPN National Conference was able to do for our chapter. Even though the stress and fear about the day was high, it was well worth it in the end!! Thank you for participating in the YNPN National Conference this year, you helped make it a success!!!
If you haven't seen them yet, we have some pictures from the conference on our Facebook page.
Thank you!! ynpnGR Board

AKA, the Young Social Change Network?
Once again, I left the YNPN National Conference inspired and encouraged by the energy, passion, and commitment of YNPNers to make a difference in our communities. At its core, YNPN is about creating the kind of change we want to see in the world, whether it's a particular mission or the concept of giving back in general that motivates us. This theme appeared several times during the conference, and caused me to wonder: are we really the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network, or would it be more accurate to call us the Young Social Change Movement? Is it important to us that we work for a 501(c)3 organization, or simply that we make a difference?
During the Innovation Series on Friday I was struck by the organizations that talked about how they purposefully set their business up as a for-profit venture in order to best support the nonprofit sector. Tommy Allen, who kicked off the series, is a community activist and editor of Rapid Growth Media, but his paid job is in the for profit sector. Elemental Media, who promotes online stories of the good work accomplished by nonprofits, stated they chose a for-profit model because they didn't want to be competing for funding with those they serve. Cool People Care also chose the for-profit path because they wanted to be, as he stated it, "collaborative, not competitive".
I see this trend in other capacity-building organizations and support services for the sector. I'm wondering if this is simply a case of for-profit entrepreneurs getting involved in cause work or whether it's telling us something bigger about our sector's capacity to support and promote itself. I'm not suggesting that all missions and causes can be better served in a for-profit model; the nonprofit sector serves some of the most vulnerable populations whose best interests should not be determined by for-profit shareholders. However, when it comes to serving ourselves, should the nonprofit business model be our first choice, or even second?
One highlight of the preliminary results of the YNPN National Survey tells us that although only 34% of us are committed to working in the nonprofit sector, 56% of us must have a social mission to what we do, regardless of the sector. Another 29% were unsure whether they would need a social mission, but only 15% stated that it was not an important factor in where they work. In these results, YNPNers have prioritized mission over tax code, the end results achieved over the means by which they were achieved.
In the not so distant past, I have been quick to reject the idea that the nonprofit model doesn't serve us well. It's the funding dynamics, I can hear myself say, or it's the leadership structures, and the restrictions that people have interpreted too conservatively on nonprofits' right to advocate and lobby. I firmly believe these issues present barriers, and struggle with how we can address the inequities in the system. However, I'm starting to also struggle with how we are defining nonprofit work. It seems the similarities between a small grassroots nonprofit and the design platform business that allows them to tell their stories are much greater than that grassroots nonprofit and St. Anthony's Hospital, Tulane University, or the National Football League.
So I'd love to hear your thoughts, YNPNers: when it comes to the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network, how central does the nonprofit element remain for you as the lines blur between sectors?

Beyond Enthusiastic
To my fellow young nonprofit professionals…
Has someone ever complimented you on your enthusiasm, fresh perspective, or energy? It's happened to me – a lot.
Did it seem like that person was really just commenting on your age – speaking in code that you are young? I think that's the case – a lot.
So, when colleagues asked me about the 2011 Conference of the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network, I was slow to speak. I didn't want to talk about the event as exciting or youthful (even though that would be true).
Instead, I described the conference as bursting with resources!
And, that's why I love young nonprofit professionals. We are so resourceful!
The 2011 conference demonstrates that we know how to:
- Transform a theatre into a convention center
- Develop a stellar program, busting at the seams with young leaders
- Leverage community partnerships for smart sponsorships
- Create real value with free tools, like social networking and blogging
- Host a warm, engaging event in a cold city
I'm grateful to the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network leadership and the 2011 conference organizers. They've reminded me that the best thing about being a talented young professional is not my enthusiasm but my resourcefulness.
Want to continue to cultivate your own resourcefulness? Check out my three live blog posts from the conference:

- What a 29-Year-Old Executive Director Can Teach You
- Knowledge Networks
What do you think? What words do you use to describe young professionals - beyond enthusiastic? Please leave a comment with your idea!

YNPN Twin Cities' Blog, a model for implementing a great idea
YNPN Twin Cities board members Adaobi Okolue and Chris Oien shared best practices learned from their chapter's blog. I jokingly tweeted that I should write a blog post about their blog. Adaobi and Chris's presentation was informative to anyone interested in starting a group blog, but it was also a great story about taking a good idea and rallying a group of people to implement it.
How to build buy in
YNPN Twin Cities spent a lot of time and effort generating support from the board before launching their blog. They addressed capacity and technology concerns with:
- One-on-one conversations
- In-person trainings about the blogging platform
- A schedule of blog writing responsibility that is manageable. (Board members are expected to write a post once every few months, and they know well in advance when their post is expected.)
Lesson Learned: Invest time at the beginning of a project to address concerns and build personal connections with your stakeholders.
Setting goals
From the beginning, YNPN Twin Cities was clear about what the blog is and what the blog is not. The YNPN Twin Cities blog is not:
- A fundraising effort
- An event promotion mechanism
Lesson Learned: For an idea to succeed, it needs a clear goal. And a clear goal cancels out other potential goals, even when they're worthy.
Making it work
YNPN Twin Cities has an arsenal of tools that help its blog run smoothly and successfully:
- The blog's posts are assigned months in advance. Authors know exactly when they're expected to contribute.
- Each week, posts are submitted, edited and published on a set schedule.
- Topics for blog posts are assigned. (There are "open topic" weeks as well.)
- The "blog bible" provides extensive documentation.
Lesson Learned: Create and document a manageable structure that helps a good idea become a great idea.
Launching the next good idea
Not satisfied with having an awesome blog and presenting about it at the YNPN national conference, YNPN Twin Cities is including new voices in their blog beyond YNPN-TC board members.
Lesson Learned: Embrace the next phase of your great idea!
