Globo Logos from Julien Vallée on Vimeo.
Graphic designer/art director Julien Vallée makes graphic design and typography tangible by pulling it out of the computer and constructing his art out of actual physical materials, creating an effect that is quite explosive. He excels in creating both still and moving imagery, often for magazines, (including the New York Times Magazine), and other high-profile clients like MTV.

A sidenote. Of recent I've been dreaming of new appliances.
My kitchen is a relic from 1992 and at this particular moment I feel like Agent Smart making his way through the Cavern of Doors every time I want to do something as simple as boil water (which I do quite well actually….. you should see the way the bubbles form!).
To light my cooktop I actually have to use a match. Not a real match but one of those BIC long stemmed lighters – same concept. I'm like Shelly Long in The Money Pit hoping it won't blow my turkey out the oven and into the 2nd floor master bathroom. My oven? It lights when it wants to.
And that isn't too often.
Not to mention, the sight of not-so-pretty appliances means that I'm not showing you photos of my kitchen anytime soon. In fact, when people come over, the super awesome dual swing door is shut in a semi open position (because it needs new hardware).
Anyway, you can only imagine that when Capital Cooking invited me to actually use their Culinarian 36″ range during a cook off for this year's Dwell on Design, I was like a kid on crack, trying really hard to contain my excitement but failing miserably.
I think there might have been a little piddle involved.
I'll just get right to the good stuff. The Culinarian Series is not just for the true chef but is also for the Top Chef Wannabe and the Macaroni-&-Cheese-From-A-Box Enthusiast. I'm somewhere in the middle (who hasn't had a hankering for Kraft Mac n' Cheese at midnight?) and attempt everything from my own interpretation of Coq au Vin to a horribly simple batch of hard boiled eggs. A great burner output (23,000 BTUs per hour… don't ask, I don't know either) but the ability to simmer at 145 degrees F make for ease of use on the cooktop while its 4.6 cubic foot convection oven (with built in Rotisserie functions) means you're putting out Thanksgiving dinner for the whole crazy family. Three available top options mean you could be having a BBQ indoors or going all Line Chef on those pancakes with a griddle. Did I mention it's self cleaning? Yeah…. Because Rosie quit and I hate cleaning the oven.
But I know. I'm a designer. Which means I'm not just thinking about function. I'm all about aesthetics. I mean big time. Ten standard color options including wine red, cobalt blue, and signal yellow. Yes kiddies, this is that injection of color I mentioned in last week's post on Chromophobia. And I'm sure if they ask nicely you can have their ranges in damned near any color you can imagine.
Just in case…. remember that Coq Au Vin I mentioned? It received high praises from Surjit Kalsi, the brains behind Capital Cooking. Not to mention evoked thoughts of Provencal France from half of the convention center. Since I'm so nice, I'm going to give you the recipe…. —> Here.
Now don't tell me I didn't give you anything.
Designer Tip: If you have the opportunity, test drive appliances before you buy. Get a feel for the burners, quality of flames and heat output. Knock around the handles, knobs, buttons. A range should be no different than buying a car (though less expensive) and you shouldn't have to settle for the unknown. A number of dealer/showrooms are working spaces and would love to have you cook lunch for them.

Thunderstorms, Strong Winds Expected Across East Texas This Afternoon
A cold front is expected to move through East Texas this afternoon bringing with is a chance for thunderstorms and strong winds.
The winds should actually arrive after the storms have moved out of the area. As the thunderstorms move through, most of the severe weather should stay to the east of us along the Louisiana border, but the strong winds in excess of 40 mph should affect us all.
Small tree limbs being knocked down and sporadic power outages are the main threat from the gusty winds.

I'm a big fan of Google Earth software. The program allows anyone to add information into the program to show any kind of data and display it within a geographic representation. In the case of Realtors, I think that it would be wonderful to have all of the homes on the Multiple Listing System (MLS)imported into Google Earth. Currently, when I look at homes on the MLS, it only tells me the town and school district that the property is located. As a buyer not familliar with a local area, this information isn't meaningful to me. If the property address were loaded into Google Earth, I would be able to see an aerial view of the neighborhood, proximity to highways, parks, or any other geographic feature that would be of interest as a buyer. In addition, a Realtor has the ability to link the placemark in Google Earth to their website, providing more information for a prospective buyer if they wanted it. I know it's just a matter of time before this concept catches on, however in my opinion, the Realtors or developers who are the "early birds" on this opportunity could have a real technological and marketing lead on the competition.

Chris Young Out of Intensive Care
Chris Young spent part of Thursday (Aug. 15) in the intensive care unit of a hospital near Denver, Colo., but by nightfall he'd been moved to a normal room, where he is on the mend. Throughout the last 24 hours, the 'Aw Naw' singer has been tweeting to fans ... and Brad Paisley.
The tone of his tweets indicate that Young isn't too concerned about the mystery leg infection that landed him in an ambulance on Wednesday. He began Thursday by apologizing to fans for canceling four performances, and finished the day letting Twitter followers know what his medical team was doing to get him right. "Ok last message before more antibiotics, it's not a Pic line... It's a direct line in my jugular.
#youdontwantone #trustme," Young tweeted.
"@ChrisYoungMusic Have em mix a little single barrel in with the antibiotic," Paisley wrote to the singer early Friday morning. Young is currently on Paisley's Beat This Summer Tour. Earlier, the headliner joked that if the 28-year-old didn't come back soon, his fans would revolt.
Country Weekly reported on Thursday that Young was moved out of ICU to a normal hospital room. The singer has pulled out of all performances through Aug. 17. The original statement indicated he'd be back on the road for his Aug. 21 show in California. No explanation as to what caused the infection has been provided.
Update: The Tennessean reports that Young fell ill on an airplane Tuesday night and was taken from the airport to the hospital. His mother Becky Harris and guitarist Kevin Collier are by his side. Harris says her son is feeling better and walking around.

Pre-Osteopathic Medicine Program
Download the correct list of required courses for Pre-Osteopathic Medicine:
Students who are service-oriented, compassionate, interested in health and human body issues, and academically competent can develop into skilled health care professionals.
Our undergraduate program emphasizes quality academics and Christian caring empathy and prepares students for entrance into graduate level health professional programs.
EMUs pre-medicine program prepares students for entrance into either allopathic or osteopathic medical schools as steps in fulfillment of a career in medicine.
Click here to view EMUs pre-medicine program mission and goals.
About osteopathic medicine
With its holistic human philosophy and hands-on manipulative diagnosis and treatment, osteopathic medicine is distinctive from allopathic (traditional) medicine. Osteopathic medical doctors (known as DOs) focus on disease prevention and health promotion as a key to wellness in their patients. Osteopathic medicine is similar to allopathic medicine in that the training of both practitioners is based on common modern medicine knowledge, skills, and diagnostic and treatment tools including pharmacology.
Students in osteopathic medical schools study the same basic science and medical material that allopathic students study but in addition have about 200 hours of coursework in osteopathic manipulative medicine. Osteopathic medical schools admit a high percentage of non-traditional students. Entrance requirements are typically a bit lower than traditional allopathic medical schools, however the rigor and extent of course work in the schools are very similar.
In most states, osteopathic medical students are required to pass the same medical licensing examinations required for the licensing of allopathic medical students. Consequently, DOs are licensed to practice in health care facilities and hospitals throughout the US along with allopathic physicians.
Four distinctive principles characterize the practice of osteopathy:
- The human body is a unit (body/mind/spirit).
- The body has innate self-healing abilities.
- Structural and functional aspects are interrelated.
- Rational osteopathic care is based on the upper premises.
Because of their holistic emphasis, most osteopathic physicians practice primary care medicine in disciplines of family practice, internal medicine, and pediatrics.
Osteopathic Medical Schools in the US are accredited by a central agency called the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine . The professional organization of practicing osteopathic physicians is the American Osteopathic Association which further describes the uniqueness of osteopathic medicine.
Preparing for study after EMU
Pre-requisite science requirements for entrance to most osteopathic medical schools minimally include a year of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics courses with the appropriate laboratory components. (See the side bar for EMU recommended pre-requisite courses).
The Medical College Admissions Test, osteopathic clinical experience, professional and academic letters of reference, and completion of a centralized application form are required in the application process.
During recent years, the average overall MCAT score for matriculating applicants has been 25; the average science grade point average has been about 3.4. Admission is competitive. Most recently, 11,650 applicants competed for 4,462 seats in osteopathic medical schools as first year enrollees.
Students who wish to enter an osteopathic medical school should apply early since most schools operate with a rolling admission basis resulting in many classes being filled prior to the deadline dates.
Applications are completed through a central application service, called the AMCOMAS, which is operated by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine .
Osteopathic medical schools, relatively near to EMU, include Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine located in Blacksburg, VA, West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine located in Lewisburg, W.VA, and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine located in Philadelphia, PA
A total of 25 accredited osteopathic medical schools are found in the US. For an overall listing of these schools visit http://www.aacom.org/people/colleges/

As I've said many times in the past, getting people to find you on the world wide web is no major feat if they're looking for you in the first place.
Sure, you should have a website, and assorted billboards that point to your website (like social networks and blogs), but if someone Googles your name and finds you, you really haven't won any major battles.
The goal is to get people to find you when they're looking for something else. When that happens, you're spreading your brand.
As long as I've been on the Internet, I've been playing around with various ways to get people to find me while looking for something else.
The pinnacle of this idealogy would be to do something that went viral--that spread word-of-mouth and captured millions of viewers.
Hasn't happened yet. Might never happen. But I have thought about it.
For as long as I've had a website, I've been giving away free ebooks. They've been downloaded tens of thousands of times, and recently the frequency is picking up. But I haven't gotten huge volumes of new surfers because I give away ebooks. It's worthwhile, but hardly viral.
I've played with videos a few times, releasing my video to Hyperion on Youtube a few years ago, and last year doing a book trailer for Fuzzy Navel. All total, these have been watched about 5000 times. Not viral at all.
I went heavy into MySpace a few years ago, getting more than 12,000 friends. Then MySpace started to suck, so I spend my effort on Facebook and Twitter. I have a few thousand friends on those, but I'm not a "must see" destination, even though I try to make my daily updates amusing.
I put a funny little Flash game on the Jack Kilborn website, to promote Afraid. It's gotten over 1600 hits, but that's far from viral.
My goal, from the beginning, was to do something that encorages word-of-mouth. Something funny, different, goofy, and unique enough to stand out, while still resonating with the majority of people who see it. I've tried to do this with my writing, from the very start. My books, named after drinks (hook) are funny and scary (hook.) Easy to remember titles + a unique approach to thrillers.
They've caught on, but not virally. It's tough to reach a large audience when you've never had coop, or been in Wal-mart.
With Afraid, I didn't try to write a horror novel. I tried to write the scariest novel of all time. Did a blog tour (a hundred blogs in a month this March), which lead to better sales than my previous books, and over a hundred ratings on Amazon. But again, it didn't set the world on fire.
I wrote a novella with Blake Crouch called SERIAL, and that's the closest thing to viral I've done. I haven't seen the latest numbers, but I estimate it has had over 200,000 downloads. Nice, but it hasn't made Jack Kilborn a household name.
Keep in mind, aiming for viral is a lot like buying a lottery ticket. You can try, but don't have high expectations it's going to work. The stars have to align.
Still, the key word is "try."
My detractors (and I have a few) will often point to the many things I've done to promote my writing and say, "But all that didn't make you a bestseller."
I never thought it would. But I knew I'd sell more books by trying than by doing nothing, and the more I try, the more I do sell.
Which brings me to a new experiment.
Two days ago, I listed an auction on eBay for signed copies of all of my books. I've mentioned it on Twitter and Facebook, and now I'm mentioning it here.
There have been eBay auctions that have attained viral status, either by selling something outrageous (like a Dorito that looks like Michael Jackson), or by using a funny description. My old high school friend Dawn Meehan sold a baseball on eBay in a humorous way, which lead to a blog, an appearance on Good Morning America, and a book deal. She went viral, using only her wit.
So I decided to give it a shot. The main goal of the auction isn't to sell the books. It's to introduce people to my sarcastic brand of humor. The product description is essentially 500 jokes.
The point, of course, isn't to be viewed by people who alreayd know me. It's to be viewed by folks who had no clue who I was before looking at the auction.
So far, I've had over 200 hits on the eBay auction. That's a lot of hits for eBay, but nowhere near viral.
Here's the auction link: http://tiny.cc/JeuuU.
Feel free to check it out, and spread the word. I'm really curious to see if being a smartass, coupled with the social networks I'm already involved in, can translate to a lot of traffic, both on eBay, and by extension, on my website.
Worst case scenario: I sell some books.
Best case scenario: Billions of people visit the auction, leading to my being elected ruler of the world, where I will encourage public nudity and legalize drugs.
Please do your part to help.

I finally cracked and picked up one of the hyped YSL Glossy Stains. I popped into town a few days ago for no particular reason and ended up at the YSL counter in Debenhams talking to Fred Letailleur, YSL's European make up artist.
I told him I needed a lipstick to cheer myself up and we decided on this peachy orange Glossy Stain in shade 6 - Camel Croisiere. I had previously tried a darker, brighter orange shade but I thought it was too similar to some lipsticks I already have and not a colour I'd wear all the time.
I've not stopped wearing this since I bought it. I'm sure you've already read lots of reviews so I'm not sure I have anything new to say. The formula of this product is so odd. It feels just like a gloss when it's first applied but within ten seconds it feels very gloopy and tacky. Around twenty seconds later it dries down a bit but still looks very glossy. I find it's best to apply a couple of layers but because this is a more subtle shade it's more low maintenance than some of the more bold colours. I can reapply on the go very easily if I need to.
The packaging is pretty but I'm not completely sold on the black and and gold; I'd prefer if it was all one colour, I think. I like that I can see how much product I've used. The applicator looks strange but works well with this product. It's very wide, thin and flexible with a pointed tip.
I think I'm going to have to pick up a more vibrant shade next! They are priced at £22.50 (link)
Have you tried these? Let me know what you think!

A German Shepherd is sitting (lying?) like a king after he helped save an abandoned baby in Birmingham, England.
The Birmingham Mail reports Jade and her owner, Roger Wilday, found the newborn in what appeared to be a discarded carrier bag next to some bushes. The dog raced to the bushes and laid next to the bag, refusing to return to Wilday when he called her.
"I walked over and saw a carrier bag – then I saw it move," he said. "I thought it was a bag of kittens, but then I saw her little arms and a head, and the baby started to cry.''
He quickly called the police and the baby was taken to a local hospital where she is reportedly doing well. The nurses there have named the baby Jade after her rescuer.
Police are still trying to find the baby's mother.

Hanna's Feels Like Home Bedroom
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Hanna
- Location:
- Los Angeles, CA
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- This is the first bedroom that I've redone by myself that has truly felt like home. It's so comfortable, and there's always music playing. There is also at least one kitty on the bed at all times, which is a nice thing to come home to after a long day.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Don't feel like everything has to be perfect immediately! I noticed that there was always one corner or wall of my room that I didn't like, so each week I redid my least favorite part until I felt satisfied with everything. If de-cluttering or decorating seems overwhelming, it makes it easier to tackle one portion of the room at a time. If you surround yourself only by the things you love most, you'll automatically have a great space!
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- This room is a creative outlet. I had an old bed frame that I hated because it just wasn't the right style for me, and I ended up getting rid of it and using the top of my old coffee table as a headboard! It's the perfect width and looks great in the space. This bedroom has served as a testing ground for a lot of similar design experiments, and I'd like to think that it has a good amount of character because of that.

Of course, a car-free life is not for everyone. But it's possible to save $5,000 to $10,000 each year by letting go of the car or cutting back to one car in your household.
We have one car in our house. My husband drives it and we save lots of money in a community where many people drive two or three cars per household. But cutting back on auto travel is not for everyone.
Here are Six Keys to living a car-free life according to Chris Balish, author of How To Live Well Without Owning a Car:
1) Can you put the brakes on your ego? Balish makes a valid point: If you don't drive a car, many people think you are a loser. And the car industry has done a lot to make us feel the connection between wheels, financial status and self worth.
And indeed, while I have waited at bus stops, I have received expressions of pity and sympathy. I've learned to bypass the pity factor. I like the freedom to read and write during my commute.
2) Is it possible for you to commute to work without a car? I've used public transportation, cabs and carpools.
3) Is your home in an urban area or a mixed-used development community?
4) Do you have easy access to public transportation?
5) Do you live close to shopping districts, entertainment establishments, banks and other basic life services?
6) How flexible is your schedule?

I've gone without a car a couple times in my life. It was really easy to save money when not paying for a car. It isn't really possible for me now.
Good points. Although Chicagoans also might want to consider the public transportation problems in our city before dumping their car - scheduled delays doubling commuting times, rate increases, etc. I actually ran the math and I do better financially with my paid off old car with reasonable insurance than I would for a monthly CTA pass plus cabs for those late night trips I wouldn't want to take on the train or bus solo. I have also heard that car sharing services like Igo are a good option as well.

Dems brace for climate rule fallout
The major climate rule that the Obama administration unveiled Monday is a political gamble for the president's party — but some Democrats see the risk as manageable, and the cause more than worth it.
The Environmental Protection Agency's rule, meant to cut greenhouse gas pollution from thousands of existing power plants, poses obvious dangers in November for Democrats in coal country and other energy-rich states, as well as regions where many voters dislike federal intrusion. It also poses unknown risks in 2016, when states will have to seek EPA approval for their plans to comply with the rule. But the regulation is also President Barack Obama's best hope for a legacy on climate change, and it offers the U.S. a chance to take a leading role in the global response to the problem.
Story Continued Below
Its lasting political impact may come down to how effectively EPA carries it out — if, for example, the agency can avoid the kind of troubled rollout that plagued Obamacare's debut.
"Sure, it'll have some impact in certain regions," said former Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, which houses 6 percent of the nation's coal reserves and was the second-largest oil-producing state last year. "The question that is going be answered, and which is going to make people nervous, is exactly how EPA is going to make compliance decisions."
But he and other Democrats, to varying degrees, think the risks are overstated.
"I don't buy these doomsday scenarios some are trying to paint for Democrats," said Heather Zichal, who until last year was Obama's top energy and climate adviser. "I can't find a single race where I think this proposal going forward is going to mean that the Democrat doesn't get elected."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama seeks 30 percent cuts in carbon pollution)
In the 2014 races with the rule's most obvious political implications, Democrats like West Virginia Rep. Nick Rahall and Kentucky Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes have wasted no time in denouncing the regulation. Others, like Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairwoman Mary Landrieu (D-La.), routinely vote for legislation attacking EPA rules and support other energy-friendly causes, like the Keystone XL pipeline.
The big unknown: Will that insulate them from GOP attempts to tie them to Obama's so-called war on coal?
On the other hand, EPA supporters think the rule could help Democrats in some close races in which climate change is becoming a more potent issue, such as Michigan's Senate contest. They may get a boost from the months-long publicity barrage that environmentalists plan to launch supporting the rule.

And some candidates may be able to seek middle ground. For instance, Dorgan said Democrats can pair the public's overall belief that climate change is a problem with the message that "we do need to produce energy and use all of our fuel sources in a smart way, and we can all work together to make that happen."
Governors' reactions will also be important, given the importance of the state compliance plans, said Paul Bledsoe, a Clinton-era climate aide. "Right now, sadly, it looks like a fairly partisan landscape," he said.
( PHOTOS: Keystone XL activists march in D.C.)
The reaction from electric power companies could also make a difference politically, including those that have already made significant investments in nuclear, natural gas and renewable energy, which could go a long way to helping states comply.
"Is a state governor going to step out there and say, 'We can't do this,' if a utility says, 'We can get it done?'" Zichal asked.
Here's a breakdown of where EPA's rule could make a difference:
1. "War — on coal" races
Kentucky Senate: It would be hard to be more anti-EPA than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who routinely gives speeches attacking Obama's climate agenda as a "war on jobs." But Grimes is trying: She used her May 20 primary victory speech to blame both Obama's regulations and McConnell for the decline of the state's coal jobs.
McConnell responded in his own victory speech that Grimes is "Barack Obama's candidate" and sought to tie her to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose "coal makes us sick" remark continues to be a durable McConnell talking point. And the most recent polling suggests McConnell received a slight post-primary boost.
Even in private fundraisers with environmentalists and other liberal donors, Grimes has stayed on message that she is a "pro-coal Kentuckian." But McConnell will continue to pummel her on the issue.
"It's the biggest single problem that she has right now," said Al Cross, a columnist and former political reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal who teaches at the University of Kentucky. But Grimes is still defining herself with voters and can "talk about coal in ways where you can find some common ground … not so much to persuade people but to stanch the losses," he said.
One indication of how concerned Kentucky lawmakers of both parties are about the climate rule: The Legislature unanimously passed a law this year requiring the state to limit electricity cost hikes and discourage switching away from coal when complying with the EPA rules. Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear signed it in April.
— West Virginia's 3rd District: Rahall has likewise tried to distance himself from the EPA rule, saying in a floor speech Thursday that "the only real question is where on a scale from devastating to a death blow the new rule will fall." He promised to "look at any and all options to block this proposed rule from being finalized."
But he's still taking a bashing from the National Republican Congressional Committee and conservative groups tied to brothers Charles and David Koch, which have focused on Rahall's support for past budget proposals that included a carbon tax or cap-and-trade policy.
Rahall has long said he opposes a carbon tax, and he has regularly voted for pro-coal legislation in the Republican-led House. Those included a bill he co-sponsored, which the House passed in March, that would block a separate EPA climate rule for future power plants.
After watching his victory margin shrink to 12 points and then 8 points in his past two reelections, Rahall is one of the NRCC's top seven Democratic targets this year and faces probably the toughest fight of his three-decade-long House tenure. He's the only member from coal country on NRCC's list of Democratic targets, all of whom represent districts that voted for Republicans in the last three presidential elections.
— Montana, Virginia and West Virginia Senate: It's unclear whether the races to fill these Democratic-held coal-state seats are going to be close. Republicans running for open seats are favored in Montana and West Virginia, while Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) has so far avoided being tarred with the "war — on coal" label. Warner was one of seven Senate Democrats who wrote to Obama asking him to reconsider his climate proposal for future power plants.
The Virginia race hasn't drawn any interest from climate activist billionaire Tom Steyer and the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, two big green forces that helped Democrat Terry McAuliffe defeat Republican Ken Cuccinelli in last year's Virginia gubernatorial election.

Transformers: Cybertron Adventures has little in common with its HD console cousins. Instead of the third person action trappings of War for Cybertron, the Wii-exclusive Cybertron Adventures goes the curious route of lightgun-shooter-meets-old-school-driving-game (circa F-Zero). This isn't necessarily a problem, given the host of excellent on-rails shooters on the Wii, including Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, House of the Dead: Overkill, and the criminally under-appreciated Dead Space: Extraction. Unfortunately, between its poorly-aged mechanics and abysmal production values, Transformers: Cybertronian Adventures packs all the disappointment gamers used to expect from licensed titles.
Typically, I'd avoid comparing a Wii title to games on other platforms, since it's hardly a fair comparison (and often a different audience entirely). However, for whatever reason, it would seem that Activision and developer Next Level decided to create Cybertron Adventures as a collection of side stories to the greater narrative of its Xbox 360/PS3 sibling War for Cybertron. Players expecting a fleshed out story will be disappointed. In fact, my co-op partner for Cybertron Adventures (who had not yet had the opportunity to play War for Cybertron) was effectively clueless as to what was going on; the narrative bounces around major events from War for Cybertron with little rhyme, reason, or explanation.
Gameplay wise, Cybertron Adventures bears the most resemblance to arcade shooters like Time Crisis: players aim and fire with the Wii-mote, selecting weapons with the Nunchuk's analog stick and taking cover to reload and avoid enemy fire. During certain sections of each stage, the game shifts from on-rails to a limited driving sequence or reined in space combat scenario along the lines of the original Star Fox. This is the only point at which players will actually see their characters Transform™, and these changes are strictly determined by each level.
Other games have taken similar constraints and made games worth playing on the Wii. For on-rails (or guided) experiences, the "experience" aspect is particularly important, and it's here that Cybertron Adventures fails the most. From a visual standpoint, Cybertron Adventures is an awful looking game. The main Transformers character models look alright, but the small details that make the redesigned characters interesting on the HD platforms has been lost on the trip to to the Wii, with blurred, poorly optimized textures and uninspired animation. Of course, the Transformers themselves are in a class by themselves in comparison to Cybertron Adventures' blocky, virtually untextured environments. There were moments where I half expected the Super FX Chip era Andross to rear his head during my time with Cybertron Adventures – the game just looks that bad.
The lacking visuals aren't helped any by some pretty poor level design and the absence of any challenge whatsoever. There's little point in switching between the four weapons every Transformer has at their disposal when enemies seem incapable by design of killing you in all but a few situations, and taking cover will refill your health bar within seconds. The primary source of the few deaths I did suffer in Cybertron Adventures was awful collision detection during driving sequences that caused my character to clip through the "ground" into nothingness for no apparent reason. Boss fights are exercises in repetition, which is surprising given that the average completion time for a chapter is around 11 minutes.
Which leads into the final nail in Cybertron Adventures' transforming coffin. While it was something of a blessing as a reviewer, most gamers are likely to find little but rage in Cybertron Adventures approximately three hour completion time. This would be a bigger problem, save that by the time those scant few hours are up, you'll likely be glad it's all over. Even cooperative play fails to save things, defying the adage of "misery loves company," as Cybertron Adventures is more likely to damage your existing friendships as the second player waits for extended periods for anything at all to do – multiplayer is akin to a dumbed down iteration of Super Mario Galaxy's "girlfriend mode," as the the second player controls a second cursor onscreen that can also shoot or give a multiplier to the single score both players share.
If there's one shred of redemption to be found in Cybertron Adventures, it's in the Peter Cullen's performance as Optimus Prime. He is Optimus in the hearts and minds of children young and old, and along with a fairly good supporting cast, Cullen and co. save the game from being a total loss.
Closing Comments
Where Transformers: War for Cybertron exceeded any expectations to become one of the best action games in recent memory, Cybertron Adventures is the culmination of decades of awful Transformers games and licensed titles in general. Lacking any of the charm or appeal of its license and ignoring progress in on-rails titles from the last 5 years, Transformers: Cybertron Adventures is a title to be avoided by any but the most die-hard Transformers collector, particularly when it arrives at the same time as the eminently superior on-rails shooting of Treasure's Sin and Punishment, also for Wii.

Changing Seasons, Changing Fortunes: Securing a Stable Income Over Unpredictable Seas
Posted on 09 August 2013
With the seasonality of fishing amidst changing weather patterns and unpredictable seas, Jingles ponders on the food security and livelihood of fishers.It's been over six weeks since I started preparing for my next tuna tagging trip. The tuna peak season in Mindoro has started. But as with normal June weather, this coincides with the start of the monsoon period: boiling seas and gusty winds with rains and thunderstorms every evening.
We've had nine typhoons so far and thankfully, none really brought damage to land and lives, but as expected, they stopped fishing for prolonged periods.
How do these fishers and their families cope with such prolonged rest?
When fishing comes to a halt, fishing inactivity could extend for as long as 3-4 weeks uninterrupted. Curious, I asked fishers what they do during these no fishing periods and how they and their families cope during such times.
For tuna handline fishers in Mindoro, everybody says that they do household repairs, such as roof leaks, while boat captains and mechanics' first priority is to keep their boats and engines in prime condition. Regular crew members, on the other hand, would simply wait for the next fishing trip, not even bothering to look for odd jobs because the boat captain might decide to go out fishing at any given moment. It's difficult to find a job when you have no control of time—of how long bad weather lasts.
Some of them reported that their wives work to augment the loss of income during these times by doing laundry. But their main means of survival is to request loans from boat owners, fish brokers, or casas, which barely support their meals. This indebtedness is what loyally binds these fishers to boat owners and has bearings in the way tuna are priced, income is shared, and how much money they will earn.
In Lagonoy, fishers cope quite differently. Because tuna fishing is very much seasonal (September to January), almost all of the fishers I spoke to have small plots of land where they grow vegetables and other cash crops (cassava, sweet potato). Some fishers take jobs as skilled and unskilled workers in construction businesses in nearby areas and cities.
Because the seasonality of fishing in Lagonoy is quite fixed and lasts only 4-5 months, families have developed multiple streams of income—having plots of land as assets paid from fishing to enable them to do farming during off fishing season. This is their insurance against hunger, thus making them more food-secure than their Mindoro counterparts.
Comparing these two sets of fishers led me to think that the shortness of the fishing season could make fishers more diversified and creative in generating income, compared with those who are used to full-time fishing and are left with no other skill other than fishing. This could prove limiting at times when they can't go out to fish.
With the threat of climate change upon us amidst declining tuna catch rates, the fishers of Mindoro need to be aware that scientists predict that rough weather will likely get worse before it gets better. They should start thinking about the long-term options to secure their food and livelihood.

Charitable/Volunteer Work
Did your family ever volunteer with a charity such as a soup kitchen, homeless or battered women's shelter during the holidays? Or perhaps were your ancestors involved with church groups that assisted others during the holiday?
In the 1950s and 1960s most charity work was done by the church or organizations like the Red Cross, Salvation Army or Community Chest. People then seemed to have fewer expectations of charity and were much more reluctant to ask for help. We did always make monitery donations but I don't remember any personal committments.
In the 1970s, our church began offering the chance to sponsor a family for the holidays. They would list family A,B,C etc and list person number 1,2,3 and anyone could choose one. If you choose for instance family B number 4 your slip of paper might say boy age 8, shirt size 10 pants size 8 and toy trucks. It was your option to supply one or all of the items. In our church, I am proud to say that all of the people were taken. We also had a mitten tree to supply hats and mittens to the needy in our northern Illinois area. That was also very well supported.
Today the Angel Tree tradition continues with our church in Texas. My grandchildren happily forego a gift every year to provide a gift to someone more in need. This is how compassion is learned.

Intelligent dual thermal system Dedicated CPU and GPU fans for supreme system cooling The G75VX packs a massive performance punch, which needs to be kept cool. Its dual fans and replaceable filters keep it running cooler and quieter at all times. Its unique intelligent thermal design improves power and efficiency by exhausting hot air from the back of the machine, allowing you to charge ahead and leave the competition battling for survival in your wake. Back-venting dual exhausts Heat and noise pushed away for more comfortable and quieter environments Dual rear-venting exhausts vanquish heat with ease, funneling it out the back of the G75VX so those high temps never bother your. By pushing heat out the back, the notebook's gamer-facing side stays extra cool, increasing your comfort. Additionally, while the fans are eminently quiet in any case, their position towards the back of the G75VX means you can barely hear them at all, as noise is also directed away from you. Cool and quiet: but deadly! Keep your act clean with detachable filters Easy DIY take out and clean to ensure optimized cooling and prevent dust build-up The dual fans integrated in the G75VX ship with custom removable filters that you can pull out and clean at will. Prevent dust and particle build up, keep those filters clear, and experience optimal cooling plus better performance and stability. The design is extremely easy to use so anyone can do it. If you're into hardcore gaming, every last bit of chill is an ally, and peak-performance filters that you can DIY clean are definitely a plus. IN SEARCH OF INCREDIBLE

Oh Monday. I can't complain about the weather, but the rest of my life is sort of a jumbled mess lately. I'm not going to go into full details, I'm just having some issues sorting through some stuff. With that, if you see that I'm a little quiet over here or not as enthused or perky as I normally am, understand that I still love y'all and will hopefully shake what's going on soon.
However, I will not let my sour mood take over today because I have to share the rest of the perfectly vintage, seaside Laguna wedding I teased you with last week! There's no easier way to put a smile on my face and ignite a warm spark in my heart than with a vintage lace gown, a gorgeous cathedral veil and a view overlooking the sea. Julie and Eric were married on July 20th at the Laguna Cliff's Marriot in Dana Point, California. Her veil and cap are vintage pieces given to her by her grandmother. Her bridesmaids worn champagne colored gowns and carried pink, purple and ivory bouquets. Eric and his groomsmen wore purple bow ties and tuxes. What I love about this wedding was how simple, yet completely elegant it was. They had a simple white, classical wedding cake and had minimal decorations. But with a gorgeous view over Laguna, you don't need much do you? The photos were submitted by the amazing Deborah Huber Photography via Two Bright Lights.
Isn't her veil and floral cap absolutely gorgeous? It was passed down to her from her grandmother.

Montenegro, country located in the west-central Balkans at the southern end of the Dinaric Alps. It is bounded by the Adriatic Sea and Croatia (southwest), Bosnia and Herzegovina (northwest), Serbia (northeast), Kosovo (east), and Albania (southeast).
Montenegro's administrative capital is Podgorica, though its cultural centre is the historical capital and older city of Cetinje. For much of the 20th century Montenegro was a part of Yugoslavia, and from 2003 to 2006 it was a component of the federated union of Serbia and Montenegro.
The country's names—both Montenegro (from Venetian Italian) and Crna Gora—denote "Black Mountain," in reference to Mount Lovćen (5,738 feet [1,749 metres]), its historical centre near the Adriatic Sea and its stronghold in the centuries of struggle with the Turks. Alone among the Balkan states, Montenegro was never subjugated. The old heartland of Montenegro, in the southwest, is mainly a karstic region of arid hills, with some cultivable areas—e.g., around Cetinje and in the Zeta valley. The eastern districts, which include part of the Dinaric Alps (Mount Durmitor), are more fertile and have large forests and grassy uplands. The drainage system of Montenegro flows in two opposite directions. The Piva, Tara, and Lim rivers follow northerly courses, the Morača and Zeta rivers southerly ones.
The terrain of Montenegro ranges from high mountains along its borders with Kosovo and Albania, through a segment of the Karst region of the western Balkan Peninsula, to a narrow coastal plain that is only 1 to 4 miles (2 to 6 km) wide. The coastal plain disappears completely in the north, where Mount Lovćen and other peaks rise abruptly from the inlet of the Gulf of Kotor. The coastal region is noted for seismic activity.
Montenegro's section of the Karst lies generally at an elevation of 3,000 feet (900 metres) above sea level—although some areas rise to 6,000 feet (1,800 metres). The lowest segment is in the valley of the Zeta River, which is at about 1,500 feet (450 metres). The river occupies the centre of Nikšić Polje, a flat-floored, elongated depression typical of karstic regions, as is the predominantly limestone underlying rock, which dissolves to form sinkholes and underground caves.
The high mountains of Montenegro include some of the most rugged terrain in Europe and average more than 7,000 feet (2,000 metres) in elevation. Notable is Bobotov Peak in the Durmitor Mountains, which reaches 8,274 feet (2,522 metres) and is the country's highest point. The Montenegrin mountains were the most ice-eroded section of the Balkan Peninsula during the last glacial period.
Montenegro's surface runoff in the north is carried away by the Lim and Tara river systems, which enter the Danube via the Drina River, which forms the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. In southern Montenegro, streams flow toward the Adriatic. Much of the drainage of the karstic region is not on the surface but travels in underground channels.
Lake Scutari (known in Montenegro as Skadarsko Jezero), the country's largest lake, lies near the coast and extends across the international border into northern Albania. It is 25 miles (40 km) long and 10 miles (16 km) wide, with a total surface area of 140 square miles (360 square km), and some three-fifths of it lies within Montenegrin territory. The lake occupies a karstic polje depression, the floor of which lies below sea level. Montenegro's mountainous regions are noted for their numerous smaller lakes.
A distinctive feature of Montenegro is the accumulations of terra rossa in its coastal area. This red soil, a product of the weathering of dolomite and limestone rocks, is also found in depressions in the Karst. Mountainous areas above the plateaus have typical gray-brown forest soils and podzols.
Montenegro's lower areas have a Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Temperature varies greatly with elevation. Podgorica, lying near sea level, is noted for having the warmest July temperatures in the country, averaging 81 °F (27 °C). Cetinje, in the Karst region at an elevation of 2,200 feet (670 metres), has an average temperature that is 10 °F (5 °C) lower. Average January temperatures range from 46 °F (8 °C) at Bar on the southern coast to 27 °F (−3 °C) in the northern mountains.
Montenegro's mountainous regions receive some of the highest amounts of rainfall in Europe. Annual precipitation at Crkvice, in the Karst above the Gulf of Kotor, is nearly 200 inches (5,100 mm). Like most areas along the Mediterranean Sea, precipitation occurs principally during the cold part of the year, but in the higher mountains a secondary summer maximum is present. Snow cover is rare along the Montenegrin coast, averaging 10 days in karstic polje depressions and increasing to 120 days in the higher mountains.
Plant and animal life
One-third of Montenegro, principally in the high mountains, remains covered with broad-leaved forest. However, bare rock characterizes most of the southern Karst zone, where soils generally are absent. This area remained forested through Classical times, with oaks and cypresses predominating, but removal of forests for domestic fuel and construction led to widespread soil erosion and, ultimately, to replacement of the woodlands by the Mediterranean scrub assemblage known as maquis.
Sparsely populated Montenegro is noted as a habitat for numerous mammals, including bears, deer, martens, and wild pigs (Sus scrofa). It has many predatory wild animals, including wolves, foxes, and wildcats. The country also has a rich variety of birds, reptiles, and fish.
Ethnic groups
Differences between Montenegrins and Serbs are a matter of continuing controversy. Although isolated from each other for centuries during the Ottoman period, when Albanian families came to dominate the intervening Kosovo region, both groups retained their Orthodox religious traditions and many other common cultural attributes—including the Cyrillic alphabet. Because of such obvious commonalities, most Serbs see Montenegrins as "Mountain Serbs," and many—but certainly not all—Montenegrins see themselves as Serb in origin.
Fluctuations between a Serb and a Montenegrin identity have been reflected in census figures. In 1981, for example, more than two-thirds of the residents of Montenegro identified themselves as Montenegrin, while only a tiny percentage reported themselves as Serb. By the early 1990s those proportions had changed to about three-fifths and one-tenth, respectively. In the early 21st century almost half of the population was identified as Montenegrin and about one-fourth as Serb. The largest non-Serb minorities are Bosniaks (Muslims) and Albanians, the former concentrated in the northern mountains and the latter along the Adriatic coast. Nearly three-fourths of the population of the coastal community of Ulcinj is Albanian.
Languages and religion
During the long period of separation from Serbia, Montenegrins developed characteristics and institutions of their own. For example, they did not adhere to the Serbian Orthodox Church but were led by their own metropolitan until the Montenegrin church was absorbed into the Serbian patriarchate in 1920. In addition, Montenegrin pronunciation is closer to Croatian than to Serbian. A strong nationalist movement grew alongside Montenegrin resentment of Serbian attempts to minimize their distinctiveness. Many (but by no means all) Montenegrins joined Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs in insisting that what is spoken in each of their respective countries is a language distinct from neighbouring languages, despite mutual intelligibility. Thus, they prefer that their language be called Montenegrin. Montenegrin, Serbian, Bosnian, Albanian, and Croatian are all recognized by the constitution as official languages.
Settlement patterns
In the 1940s about seven-eighths of Montenegrins were classified as rural, but over ensuing decades this proportion changed dramatically. By the early 21st century less than two-fifths of the population lived in rural areas. Montenegrin villages are found mainly in the polje depressions of the Karst. Houses are most often constructed of stone, frequently without mortar. The largest city by far is Podgorica, followed in size by Nikšić, Pljevlja, Bijelo Polje, Cetinje, and Bar.
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing
Although the country is endowed with only limited areas of suitable soil and climate, farming dominated Montenegro's economy until the mid-20th century. Less than one-tenth of the land is farmed, and about two-fifths of this is devoted to grains. In upland areas the principal agricultural activity is sheepherding. With woodlands covering more than two-fifths of Montenegro, forestry is economically important. Despite the country's significant seacoast, commercial fishing is negligible.
Power and resources
Bauxite, the principal raw material for aluminum, is Montenegro's chief metallic resource. It is found principally near Nikšić. Significant hydroelectric power is produced at the Piva River plant on a tributary of the Drina and at the Peručica installation on the Zeta River. Montenegro also has a thermoelectric plant, which burns lignite mined near the town of Pljevlja.
About one-tenth of Montenegro's manufacturing labour force is employed in the steelworks at Nikšić, the country's largest industrial facility despite a location generally unsuited to steelmaking. (Lacking local sources of both coking coal and iron ore, the works long depended on imports of pig iron from Zenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina.) Podgorica, where agricultural products (including tobacco) are processed, provides even more manufacturing jobs than Nikšić. Refrigerators are manufactured in Cetinje.
Finance and trade
Established in 1993, the Central Bank of Montenegro is responsible for monetary policy, the development of a sound banking system, and payment operations. The German mark was declared the sole means of payment in Montenegro in November 2000, and in 2002 Montenegro's official currency became the euro, the EU's single currency. A stock market began operating in 1996. Most enterprises in Montenegro have begun privatization, and it is expected that most of these will eventually trade on the exchange.
Labour and taxation
Because of the small numbers of nonagricultural workers, labour union activity is minor and local. Montenegrin taxes include personal and corporate income taxes, excise duties, sales taxes, property taxes, taxes on financial transactions, and use taxes. Montenegro was constitutionally required to remit a portion of its revenue to federal institutions while part of Yugoslavia but stopped doing so in 1998.
Montenegro's 150 miles (240 km) of seacoast have long been a major tourist destination. Attractive landscapes, picturesque old stone houses, and beaches draw both domestic and foreign tourists. The kings of prewar Yugoslavia had a summer palace near Miločer, and the postwar regime transformed the ancient fishing village of Sveti Stefan into a luxury resort. The city of Ulcinj—whose architecture has been influenced by the Greeks, Byzantines, Venetians, and Asians—is an important tourist destination.
Transportation and telecommunications
Montenegro's first railroad was a short line connecting the port of Bar with Virpazar on Lake Scutari. During the period between World War I and World War II, another rail line was constructed between Podgorica and Nikšić. Improvements continued during the communist era, including extension of a rail link in 1986 to the newly constructed Albanian system. The completion of the long-planned route between Bar and Belgrade in 1976 extended Montenegro's rail lines considerably. About three-fifths of the country's roads are classified as modern. The country's sole maritime port is the small community of Bar; closed briefly in the early 1990s, it reopened in 1996.
Under Yugoslav regimes, Montenegro developed a modern telecommunications system. Unlike the Serbian telecommunications infrastructure, Montenegro's was not damaged during NATO's bombing campaign in 1999. Indeed, the system was augmented by access to European satellites and increased Internet availability.
Government and society
Montenegro is a parliamentary republic that gained full independence from Serbia in June 2006, following a referendum in May in which just over the required 55 percent of Montenegrins voted to secede from the federation. In 2007 Montenegro's parliament adopted the country's first constitution. Montenegro is governed by independent executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The president is the head of state, elected directly for a period of five years. The unicameral parliament of Montenegro is led by a prime minister. Its judicial branch includes a constitutional court composed of five judges with nine-year terms and a supreme court with justices that have life terms.
Local government
Montenegro's local government has 20 communes that range in size from about 18 to more than 770 square miles (50 to 2,000 square km) and in population from 5,000 to more than 130,000.
In August 2006, just two months after declaring independence from Serbia, Montenegro formally abolished conscription and transitioned to a fully professional military. The country maintains an army, navy, and air force, and all three branches are open to both men and women. In the second decade of the 21st century, women represented almost 10 percent of active-duty service members and more than 40 percent of reservists and auxiliaries. At that time, Montenegro's military consisted of roughly 2,000 active-duty troops, with the army accounting for roughly three-fourths of that number. This total was bolstered by approximately 4,000 special police personnel and some 6,000 security officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In June 2017 Montenegro became the 29th member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Eight years of primary education are compulsory in Montenegro, beginning at age seven. Four years of secondary education also are available, divided between two types of schools: general secondary schools, which prepare students for universities; and vocational schools, which offer training that usually leads to admission to two-year technical colleges. The University of Montenegro, located in Podgorica, was founded in 1974.
Cultural life
Daily life and social customs
Montenegro's traditional culture revolves around clans, groups of patrilineally related families that at one time maintained tribal identities on their own traditional territories. Increasing integration into the Yugoslav state, including general provision of public education, brought an end to clan autonomy, but clans themselves remain an important element in Montenegrin social life. A continuing object of complaint has been rampant clan nepotism in the staffing of governmental bureaucracies.
Faced with incessant threats from Ottoman armies and rival groups, clans traditionally emphasized personal courage in combat as a major virtue. This was reflected in the disproportionate role, before the republican secessions of the early 1990s, of Montenegrins in Yugoslavia's armed forces. Montenegrins constituted a high proportion of noncommissioned and commissioned officers in the Yugoslav People's Army, including about one-fifth of its generals. Another factor explaining this influence is the limited economic opportunities available in Montenegro itself.
The arts
Montenegro is perhaps best known to the outside world for its rich architectural heritage and medieval murals. Among the most notable structures are the Romanesque cathedral of St. Tryphon in Kotor, the 16th-century Husein-Pasha Mosque in Pljevlja, and the Baroque church of Our Lady of the Rocks on an islet in the Bay of Kotor. This region was recognized in 1979 by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. The old town of Budva was of particular importance until it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1979; since rebuilt, it now serves as a beach resort and amusement park.
Montenegro's medieval murals date back to the 10th century. A 13th-century mural depicting the life of St. Elias, located in the Moraca monastery, is perhaps most notable. In subsequent centuries, Montenegrin artists sometimes showed the influence of western European styles such as the Baroque, but traditional art forms such as icon painting, wood carving, and textile weaving also continued unabated. By the turn of the 20th century, western European styles—generally inherited many years after their popularity in artistic capitals such as Paris—began to dominate. At mid-century Milo Milunović used aspects of Post-Impressionist technique to depict the landscape of Montenegro, while in the postwar period Petar Lubarda used Expressionist techniques to portray his homeland. In the late 20th century a younger generation of artists blended international trends and styles with Montenegrin imagery and political concerns. Beginning in the 1990s, new forums for exhibition, such as the Montenegro Cetinje Biennial, allowed work by Montenegrin artists to be seen by an increasingly large number of people.
Montenegrin literature has its roots in folk literature sung to the accompaniment of the gusla (a type of folk fiddle). As elsewhere in Europe, monasteries were the centres of literacy and, not surprisingly, religious leaders produced the first written works. Early manuscripts include Miroslavljevo jevandjelje (1186–90; "Miroslav's Gospel"), transcribed from an earlier Macedonian text. Only a 17th-century Latin-language copy remains of the first written work of Montenegrin literature, Kraljevstvo Slovena (1177–89; "The Kingdom of the Slavs"), by Pop (Father) Dukljanin of Bar. Thirty-eight years after Johannes Gutenberg's invention (in 1494), the first state-owned printing press was established in Cetinje. In that year the Ostoih ("Book of Psalms") was printed; it is believed to be the first book printed in Cyrillic from the South Slavic region. Without question the greatest poet of the region is Petar Petrović Njegoš (Peter II), who also is celebrated widely among Serbs.
Music too has an ancient history in Montenegro. A bone whistle from the Paleolithic Period (Old Stone Age) found in what is now Montenegro is the oldest musical instrument in all of Europe. Early church chants, as well as a number of organs built in the coastal region, testify to a lively tradition of church music. The above-mentioned Miroslavljevo jevandjelje gives the Old Slavic names of traveling musicians. Significant contemporary composers include Borislav Taminjzic (1933–92) and Zarko Mirkovic.
Along the Montenegrin coast there are several annual arts festivals each summer that cater to tourists. Perhaps most significant is a theatre festival in Budva. The Montenegrin National Theatre, with a recently enlarged and renovated building, operates in Podgorica.
Cultural institutions
Despite a relatively small population, Montenegro has developed a wide range of cultural institutions. These include theatres, art galleries, museums, and libraries, as well as an independent Academy of Arts and Sciences. Cetinje, the historical capital of Montenegro, boasts many historic buildings, including the five-complex National Museum of Montenegro, which maintains separate art, ethnographic, and historical museums. The city is also home to the Cetinje Monastery, which is the repository of an important collection of medieval manuscripts. The archives in Kotor contain historical documents that are of interest to researchers. There are also museums of note in Perast and Herceg Novi. Nikšić and Podgorica both house well-stocked art galleries, each of which is located in a historic castle.
Sports and recreation
The government emphasizes physical education and sports. Fishing and hunting are popular. The state also has set aside substantial areas for recreation, including three national parks: Durmitor, Biogradska Gora, and Lovćen. Durmitor National Park was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1980.
Media and publishing
Scores of newspapers, including Pobjeda ("Victory"), are published in Montenegro. Local presses publish a few hundred books each year. There are several radio stations and a television studio and transmitter in the country.
