Agilent Technologies took an equity stake in synthetic biology pioneer Gen9 by closing on a $21 million investment in the developer of scalable technologies for synthesizing genes, the companies said today.
The deal gives Agilent a presence on Gen9's board of directors, as well as in a biotech field where Agilent already has a presence. Its oligo synthesis technology produces what the company says is the highest-quality long DNA compared to that of any commercially available source.
Also, Agilent in recent years launched partnerships in synthetic biology. The company was the first industry member of University of California, Berkeley's Synthetic Biology Institute in 2011. A year earlier, Agilent announced a collaborative investment with Harvard University's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering.
"We believe that Gen9 has the correct strategy, technology, team, and IP portfolio to complement Agilent's innovations in oligo library synthesis and, working together, we will help realize the promise of synthetic biology," Neil Cook, vp and director, Agilent Laboratories, said in a statement.
As part of the agreement, Gen9 will incorporate Agilent's Oligonucleotide Library Synthesis (OLS) technology into its manufacturing process, allowing for large-scale creation of pathway constructs and DNA libraries. Gen9 already manufactures and ships double-stranded GeneBits™ DNA constructs, or gene fragments from 500 to 1,024 base pairs long.
The company was founded in 2009 to generate high-quality DNA content toward chemical and enzyme production for industries that include agriculture, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and even data storage.
Gen9's next-generation gene synthesis technologies enable the high-throughput, automated production of DNA constructs at lower cost and higher accuracy than previous methods. The technologies underpin the Gen9 BioFab® platform, which can synthesize tens of thousands of gene fragments in just a few square feet of laboratory space.
Added Kevin Munnelly, Gen9's president and CEO, in the same statement: "Agilent's investment is a powerful validation of our proprietary BioFab platform, and we look forward to working closely with them to further innovate around our manufacturing capabilities and build Gen9 into the leading high-throughput supplier to the synthetic biology marketplace."
Gen9's founders were Joseph Jacobson of MIT, George Church of Harvard Medical School, and Drew Endy of Stanford University. Additional investors in the company included Draper Fisher Jurvetson, The Kraft Group, PBM Capital Group and several angel investors, including Scott A. Schoen and Weili Dai.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Patrick Mafisango's sudden death has sent powerful shockwaves not only to football fans in East Africa but the entire fraternity of Dar es Salaam-based Democratic Republic of Congo musicians.
Mafisango used to attend shows of the Akudo Impact music band wherever they stage as long as he is in Dar es Salaam.
Akudo band is made up of DRC musicians and was staging a midweekly show at Maisha Club where Mafisango and his two other family members attended during a night before his death.
Mafisango was driving in the car together with four other passengers that included his sister's son, one Clary Boteko, and another sister who flew in Dar es Salaam for family tour.
The Akudo show ended on the early hours of Thursday morning as Mafisango drove his Toyota Cresta car on his way home.
According to Akudo musicians, they used to board his car and drove back home every time he happened to attend their shows.
"We were used to him as a family member, friend and a close relative," said one of Akudo band's musician.
However, at the end of yesterday's show, Mafisango's car was full and the musicians had to be driven home by Nyoshi Saadat, Akudo's most popular vocalist.
As Mafisango was driving alongside the Chang'ombe Road close to VETA, a cyclist appeared and he tried his best to avoid him and the car knocked a tree before heavily bouncing into the ditch.
He died instantly and surprisingly the rest of the passengers on board survived with minor bruises. The 32-year-old is survived by three children; two of them are with their mother in Kinshasa. He was living with a three-year old boy by the name of Crespo, whose mother is in China.
It has reported that Mafisango had a long telephone call to Crespo's mother and he frequently cut short yesterday's music entertainment to attend the call.
The communication was linking him and Crespo's mother who was following updates of her son.
The Rwanda Government and football FA ( FERWAFA) has agreed to allow Mafisango's funeral to be held in Kinshasa where his family is based.
In related development, the Tanzania Football Federation has expressed shock and disappointment following the sudden death of Mafisango.
A statement from the federation through its information officer Boniface Wambura availed to The Guardian said his untimely death has sent powerful shockwaves to the entire football fraternity not only in Tanzania but also throughout the region.

Tuition could be going up at East Carolina University after a unanimous vote today by the Board of Trustees.
The board voted to recommend across the board tuition hikes for the 2013-14 academic year.
In-state undergraduates would pay 5.35% ($201) more, while out-of-state undergrads would see a 2.85% ($500) hike. Similar increases are proposed for graduate students as well.
The proposal now heads to the UNC Board of Governors and eventually the state legislature.
ECU says the increase is expected to produce $5.9 million in additional revenue to pay for classroom instruction and infrastructure support.
Increases to student fees were also approved at the meeting. There would be a $40 increase to the education and technology fee, a $30 athletics fee increase and a $3 increase in graduation fees.

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield received approval today from the Maine Bureau of Insurance to offer a new insurance product under the federal Affordable Care Act. Anthem partnered with MaineHealth to create insurance plans for the individual and small group market. But as Patty Wight reports, it excludes six state hospitals - including the Central Maine Health Care network.
The new health insurance product is what's called a "narrow provider network." Anthem had to prove to state regulators that this narrow network provides customers reasonable access to health care, which, according to Maine standards, requires a maximum travel distance of 30 minutes between a patient and primary care provide, and 60 minutes for a specialist.
Though the answer from the Maine Bureau of Insurance is "Yes," not everyone agrees with that decision.
"So, it may be reasonable - meet the really low bar, I guess, of reasonable access to health care services," says Chuck Gill, a spokesman for Central Maine Health Care.
Gill says the plan only affects those in the southern part of the state, where hundreds of doctors from six hospitals - including Parkview, York and Mercy - are excluded from the network.
"Anthem made a bad decision excluding our system, and I think they made a bad decision overall excluding six hospitals. They should have gone the same route in southern Maine as they did in northern Maine, because we're one Maine."
Anthem has said it intends to switch some of its current customers onto the new plans, a prospect which has created anxiety in some patients.
But Maine Superintendent of Insurance Eric Cioppa wrote in his decision that, although he is permitting Anthem to offer narrow network plans, it does not necessarily mean he will permit Anthem to move its current customer base into these plans. That decision will be made after a Sept. 9 hearing, where Anthem will have to demonstrate that such a switch offers a corresponding benefit to customers, "presumably, lower rates," Cioppa says.
In a written statement, Anthem spokesman Chris Dugan said the decision is good news for Maine families, and that Anthem's collaboration with MaineHealth and other select providers will provide more affordable insurance options.
The plan still requires federal approval before it can be offered when the new online health exchanges open Oct. 1. Central Maine Health Care has 30 days to decide whether to appeal the decision.

Seven Placer County workers face layoff ax
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Layoffs could be in store for seven of its 2,222 employees as Placer County tightens up its spending plan for the coming year. But a labor leader is suggesting that the county needs to make more cuts at the top. Graham Knaus, finance and budget operations manager, outlined a budget blueprint Tuesday to the Placer County Board of Supervisors that will allow the county to remain buoyant until state lawmakers come up with an answer to California's projected $28 billion deficit. Knaus said the county was within $1 million of moving forward with a balanced budget plan for the new fiscal year that starts in July. But there are still substantial risks to county revenues posed by the pending state budget, he said. An updated analysis of the current state budget proposals indicate from $30 million to $60 million in direct county funding and increased responsibilities would be affected, the board was told. Over the past three years, Placer County has laid off 17 employees. Its current work force is 2,222 – down from 2,542 in 2007 through mostly attrition and retirements. The seven laid-off workers would result from a reduction in staffing in land-development areas. Those departments include planning and building divisions but no actual staff members or positions facing layoffs were made public at Tuesday's board meeting. "As a reflection of the economy, service areas that had been experiencing the greatest demands five years ago have been and continue to be faced with sharply declining revenues and workload," Knaus reported to the board. "This has been most apparent in the land-development areas and it has largely been resolved through attrition and targeted staffing reductions over the past three years." But existing land-development revenues are insufficient to fund services at current staffing levels in all development areas, putting up to seven employees at risk in several departments, Knaus said. Chuck Thiel, business agent for Stationary Engineers Local 39, told supervisors that it wouldn't be unexpected to see the county again end up with a surplus at the end of this fiscal year that could have been applied to address perceived funding shortfalls. Thiel said that Placer County has retained an inordinate proportion of managers to rank-and-file workers. It's one manager to every 8 employees while the normal rate would be one manager to 14, he said. And when asked how many of the 17 employees already laid off were management, the staff reply was one. Thiel, whose union negotiates for the Placer Public Employees Organization suggested the county look at reassigning employees to other areas of work or starting up a program approved last year but not yet instituted that provides departing employees with additional compensation for voluntarily leaving.

In this week's installment of HDNet Fights Video Vault, our weekly
fight-of-the-week feature, we shy away from MMA in favor of a recent K-1 kickboxing match between Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem and Bosnian heavyweight Dzevad Poturak.
The two veteran strikers clashed earlier this month at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010, which took place at Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan, and aired on HDNet.
While Overeem hasn't suffered an MMA defeat since 2007, his kickboxing efforts haven't always lived up to his mixed martial arts abilities, and he was just 2-2 in his past four kickboxing bouts coming into the matchup. Would Poturak stack up?
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight
from the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts,
slick submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm
for this weekly feature.
Overeem vs. Poturak fits the bill.
Overeem entered the contest on the heels of a knockout loss to Badr Hari at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 Final this past December. But in the MMA world, Overeem had earned seven-straight stoppage victories, six of which came in less than two minutes.
Meanwhile, Poturak came into the matchup with an impressive 44-12 record in kickboxing, although he was just 2-4 in his previous six outings. Nevertheless, the Bosinian does own 29 career knockouts and owns enough power to threaten Overeem, who has suffered three kickboxing losses by knockout or TKO.
Would Overeem deliver the type of performance that has left many fans calling for "Demolition Man" to face Fedor Emelianenko in the near future, or would Poturak capitalize on a fighter that sometimes disappoints in the striking world?
Check out the embedded clip for the answer.
Each week MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) and HDNet Fights (www.hdnetfights.com) team up for "HDNet Fights Vault," which offer a new and unique video from the organization's ever-growing fight library. The weekly feature is a continuation of a long-standing partnership between MMAjunkie.com and HDNet.

Robert Segal & Alicia Rosauer
Posted by Gina | Filed under FLOR Events
Unison was started in 2006 after husband and wife team, Robert & Alicia, returned to the US after a four year design stint at Marimekko in Finland. Together they design and manufacture a collection of household goods ranging from printed bedding, children's bedding, blankets, throw pillows and table linens. Their collection aims to bring modern design into the practical world of daily life. Unison graphic motifs are minimal, yet substantial, lending themselves to be mixed and matched to create either a streamlined look or something more colorful and playful.
Certainly modern and minimal could be used to describe their bedding; however, the collection manages to give off a warm and inviting feel. Robert & Alicia are dedicated to using high quality materials and to manufacturing their products to meet or exceed textile standards. In addition, they proud to participate in local production, their signature hand-printed pillows and table linens are cut and sewn at small factories around Chicago.
Robert & Alicia recently opened up their studio for retail three days a week. In addition to being able to interact with customers about their goods directly, they are introducing accessories and household items from designers whom they admire – items that pair quite nicely with the Unison asethetic I might add.
We loved the architectural style of these candle columns designed by 2nd Shift, a design studio in Cleveland, Ohio. Constructed from steel and concrete, they have a solid feel and their hexagonal shape encourages trying out all sorts of configurations.
They clearly have a knack for merchandising and I always think it's a brilliant idea when product manufacturers decide to open up their doors to retail. It is always such an educational and rewarding experience to be able to interact directly with your audience. We're thrilled that their shop is just a short hike from the FLOR offices. Honestly, it's a little self-serving – there are lots of new little ones being added to the FLOR family these days and I think we now have a go-to gift – Check out these adorable booties – an exclusive offering from Unison created by their sales manager, Michelle Vondiziano.
Stop by FLOR's Chicago location in Lincoln Park this August 30th and you'll have the opportunity to meet some of the Unison team. I'm interested to hear about their experiences opening up their studio space as a shop, aren't you?

Nintendogs + Cats: Toy Poodle and New Friends is used to play on the 3DS with many new options and better graphics than before. This new Nintendogs extension now includes friendly felines. There are new personalities, looks, features, and actions to bring the animals to life. Each cat and dog comes in a wide variety of color and breed options. Being able to have various choices is imperative when selecting the right pet for the player of the game. Also, the game has become more personable in being able to use a voice to clearly command the pet in different challenges and new tricks.
Moving on, the number of dogs and breeds and cats and colors are never ending. This specific game allows the option of having either a Toy Poodle, a French Bulldog, and a Golden Retriever. To have more choices, there are other extensions of the game. Being able to select the type of dog or cat that the player wants or knowing what personality they have before hand is key when selecting a pet. The way that the cat or dog reacts when viewing it in the kennel will be key to how it will be playing and acting back at the house. Also, the accessories featured in the game allows for the pet to be geared specifically towards the owner, making the game seem more personable.
Playing on the 3DS brings this game to life with many new features. There is a built in camera that faces the player of the game so that the dog or cat can recognize there owner and depending on the player's reactions to certain situations, the pets can react. The device also allows for a clear voice transfer that can be used to call for the dog or cat, train them, or command theme during competitions and challenges. The pet will recognize the command or their name and happily do what they are told; unless they are the naughty ones!
Having amazing cats and dogs roaming the house is fun and becomes even more enjoyable when they can be shared with others. The new StreetPass and SpotPass featured in the game allows for presents and dogs and cats to be shared with other friends who have the game and a 3DS. Also, with SpotPass, the player can go online and download content such as new accessories or new Mii characters to use on the 3DS.
In the end, Nintendogs + Cats: Toy Poodle and New Friends is a great way to have pets at the flip of a 3DS screen. From features such as new challenges, new accessories, more breeds and different colors the game has become more realistic and individual to the player of the game. The device allows for clear voice commands and a camera for the dog or cat to recognize their owner and react to the player's face, accordingly. The bouncy and happy cat or dog sitting in the kennel comes to life in the simulated game of Nintendogs + Cats: Toy Poodle and New Friends.

Star Dragon is outdated
Points for:
- No reliable consistent pinpoint damage
- Increased amounts of removal each new set
- Unreliable removal protection
- More and more "Unkillable" units are being released
Point against:
- Some removal protection has been introduced, although it's mostly redundant (Song for a Hero, Blessing Errata), and incomplete (Does not address things like Mystere, Dion, Shelby SS combo, Catira, etc etc etc.)
The way the file is set up causes the file to be binary in the extreme. Although Star dragon is a great unit with tons of damage potential, the fact that it level seven and drains Sphere levels causes it to be extreme SP consuming. The SP drain makes it hard to field other good units, and the fact that there are many types of removal further taxes the player's resources. The high level makes it hard to play Star dragon in the first place. Playing requires you to build your file around him, or you will not be able to get the best out of him.
This is also in addition to the fact that more and more cards have "Unkillable" traits now. The greatest offender in my opinion is Dilate. Star dragon's Counter only does 45 damage max. With 60 HP, a single star dragon will never be able to kill Dilate. Meanwhile, dilate is free to kill Star dragon.
On the other hard, if the player manages to keep Star dragon on the field and keep him there, it is likely he will win. He can potentially deal tons of damage each turn, and has 120 hp.

Comments On May 15, 2015:Wolfman has a good reputation for quality, so I bought this bag before a week-long trip to Moab. I wasn't really happy with the bag.
Appears to be made of quality materials.
Even though I had the straps cinched down tightly, the bag was continuously coming loose. At every stop I had to turn around and check the bag. With the bumps of the terrain, the straps would gradually loosen, allowing the contents of the bag to start bouncing all over the place, and also stressing the plastic mounting plate it sits on.
If you remove the bag for a short run where tools/water/etc. aren't needed, you'll have to figure out what to do with the long straps, otherwise they'll just be loose and flapping around. In retrospect, I wish I had bought the less expensive, simpler Tusk bag, which I've used on a prior bike with no issues.

Comments On Dec 05, 2014:Bag is easy to mount. The bag stays in place during rough trail riding and the compression straps keep items within the bag from rattling around. The zipper is large and high quality as well as easy to operate with gloves on. Mine is mounted to a 2011 WR450F and I couldn't be more satisfied.

Comments On Jul 18, 2014:Comes with a very nice mounting hardware/kit. Velcro base plate and then the straps to hold the bag. Absolutely perfect mounting solution. There is a video of this bag on YOUTUBE also if you want to see how it works.
I have it loaded with my tool roll bag, extra plug, and some other smaller items./ Not quite big enough for tire irons etc.
No worries at all that it will come off. I would have to loose my rear fender to lose the bag!
I am very likely going to purchase another to mount on my front fender just for a tube. It is that good!
Good job guys!!

Comments On May 30, 2014:In the description it said mounting hardware was not included but mine came with all the hardware. Very easy to mount. All my tools fit with some room to spare for other things.

Tanzanians have been assured of support in their businesses (particularly small ones) by the Standard Chartered Bank management.
The assurance to that end has been made in Dar es Salaam by the Bank's Africa region Head of Origination and Client Coverage Department, Stephen Priestley, when speaking to reporter in during his two-day official visit to the bank in the country last week.
He said his bank is very keen in supporting small and medium enterprises given that with proper financial services, the SMEs can grow into big corporate entities."
On the agricultural, he said his bank "...is in the forefront in supporting the sector" and that "it has been supporting it at different levels starting with crop cultivation, farm implements supply including machinery and fertilizers and in marketing the produce."
During his two day visit he met with corporate customers, staff and Finance ministry officials.
Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania Limited first opened its doors to the public in 1917 and following a period of nationalisation, reopened again in 1993 as the first foreign bank under the economic reform programme."
As for its performance it was also revealed that it has won the prestigious Bank of the year award by the Banker Magazine four times consecutively since 2001.

Paper Plates are a staple at our house, not only for eating but also for creating. When my boys were 5 and 3, one of their favorite bedtime stories was Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. I got it off their bookshelf the other night and reminisced for a moment of the sweet memories. Then I instantly thought, hey, this would be a fun book to make a giraffe craft with. :)
Our paper plate giraffe was so simple and fun to make.
Supplies you will need:
- paper plate
- yellow paint
- brown paint
- paint brush
- circular sponge brush
- yellow cardstock or construction paper
- scissors
- glue stick and/or school glue
- large wiggly eyes
- pencil
- black marker
- 2 brown pom-poms
1. Paint the bottom of a paper plate yellow and let it dry completely.
2. On a sheet of yellow paper (I used a different shade of yellow than what we painted the paper plate), draw two ears and a large circle for the giraffe muzzle.
3. Have your child cut out all the giraffe pieces, then glue them onto the giraffe. From the same sheet of paper also cut out two small strips for the horns and glue them onto the giraffe.
4. Next glue on some large wiggly eyes and some brown pom-poms for the brown hair at the top of the horns.
5. Draw a nose and mouth on your giraffe. We used pencil first and then traced it with black marker. It took my son a couple tries to get his nose how he wanted it so I'm glad we did it this way. :)
6. Use a circular sponge brush to dab the brown spots on your giraffe. My son looked at the picture of Gerald in the book and saw that he had some brown at the bottoms of his ears, so he added that too.
Pin It

- "Sometimes I just wanna end this shit. Just... bam. But I ain't there yet. Not quite."
- ― Dwayne Forge
Dwayne Forge is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and a friend in Grand Theft Auto IV. Dwayne is a former drug kingpin who ruled over North Holland and is the founder and former boss of the North Holland Hustlers.
Dwayne was born in 1973 in North Holland, Liberty City. He grew up in the Westminster Towers, a notoriously violent and drug infested housing project in North Holland. His father was an illiterate, violent pimp and drug dealer who regularly beat both his wife and Dwayne himself. He would tell Dwayne in a harsh voice: "Expect the worst, then you can be pleasantly surprised!" before beating him, accounting for his melancholy outlook on life. His mother was his main caretaker, who he thought highly of saying she "tried so hard" to please his father, who often beat her. In one instance, she bought him golf clubs because a friend of his had some and it seemed sophisticated, but he used the clubs to beat her still. His father died when he tried to rip off other drug dealers in the neighborhood - the dealers knocked on his door and killed him right there. Dwayne says that he "felt nothing" when his father had been murdered, even saying he was glad. Dwayne later developed aspirations to be a police officer as a child, but says he could not read well enough and that the LCPD frowned upon black police officers in the 1980s. At one point he was homeless, unable to get a job without full education. From there, Dwayne reflected on his only marketable skills, stating "I could add up and I could scare people, so I started selling dope."
Drug empire and prison sentence
Between 1988 and 1999, Dwayne ran the North Holland Hustlers and would go on to control and run a crack cocaine empire. Dwayne claimed that he made $50,000 per week and "had apartments full of money - entire apartments stuffed with bank notes!". Because of his connections, Dwayne had more pure product than anybody in Algonquin at that time. He was living the dream as a teenager, riding high as a drug lord. However, with his new success also came problems. A lot of people were jealous of Dwayne because of his fast money and street fame. This caused Dwayne to constantly seem very distant and to only remain close to a few people. Two of those people closest to him were his girlfriend Cherise Glover, who he describes as "the love of my fucking life", and Playboy X, his prodigy. Dwayne stated that he wanted to start a nice family and have children, but believed his drug dealing and prison stint had prevented it. Dwayne also invested in the adult entertainment business and bought The Triangle Club in Bohan, and a couple of porno shops in Liberty City and Alderney City.
In the late 90s following a tip from an informant, Jayvon Simson - who would also steal his girlfriend in the next few years - Dwayne was arrested and sent to prison. Dwayne ran the gang from prison at first, also providing his girlfriend Cherise "cars, houses, apartments, bank accounts, everything!" while inside. Dwayne was placed on suicide watch for much of his prison sentence, continuing to express some suicidal thoughts when released.
Playboy X assumed leadership of the empire around the turn of the century, as many gangs matured from solely crack sales to wider drug sales, other organized crime and even legitimate venues such as the music and real estate industries. Playboy paid his last prison visit to Dwayne in 2004, no longer having any interest in running with him. During this time, his Triangle Club was taken over by the Trunchez brothers.
Events of GTA IV
Release from prison
In 2008, Dwayne is released from prison and immediately goes to see Playboy at his penthouse. He talks to Playboy X and Niko Bellic in the mission Deconstruction for Beginners, where Playboy patronizes him. Playboy X eventually pays Niko Bellic to appease Dwayne by working for him, but Niko genuinely connects with Dwayne, as they both went through a lot and have developed a distaste for others.
Rebuilding Life
Niko helps him slowly put his life back together, by settling old grudges and reclaiming the Triangle Club.
At first, he asks Niko to kill Jayvon, the man who stole Dwayne's money and girlfriend. Niko finds him and Cherise, and chooses whether or not to kill Cherise before chasing and murdering Jayvon. Niko meets up with Dwayne at Cluckin' Bell, and gives him the money back.
Later, Dwayne tells Niko about his former gentleman's club, The Triangle Club. Niko goes to the strip club and kills the Trunchez Brothers for Dwayne, allowing him to retake control. This angers Playboy X as the Trunchez brothers were business associates of his.
However, Dwayne also begins to talk trash about Playboy, and Dwayne's re-acquisition of the Triangle Club conflicts further with Playboy's business interests. Dwayne knew the effect that this would have on Playboy, doing it anyway out of passive-aggressive angst for turning his back on him. According to Playboy, he offered Dwayne half of his old gang back and he did not accept, likely insulted as he started the gang and taught Playboy the business when he was a mere child.
The Holland Play
Niko is subsequently hired by both men to assassinate one another, in the mission The Holland Play. Niko must choose whether to kill Dwayne or Playboy X.
If Niko chooses to kill Dwayne, Niko will respectfully tell Dwayne that it's "nothing personal". Forge accepts his fate in sorrow, turning his back to Niko and calling him "fake, just like the rest of them!". Niko then shoots Dwayne in the back of the head while turned away, killing him with visible regret. Playboy pays Niko, but, in apparent denial, calls him "cold" for assassinating his old mentor, and the two never speak again.
If Niko chooses to kill Playboy, Niko will arrive at Playboy X's Penthouse to kill him. When Niko is telling Playboy that he didn't change the game, he executes Playboy by shooting him in the neck, saying that the game changed him. Dwayne takes over the empire once again and gives Playboy's Penthouse to Niko, revealing he had the deed to it all along and, when told that he should take it by Niko, mentions that living in it would remind him too much of Playboy, who he states he "should have kept a closer eye on". He will also become a friend, and, if his friendship"like" percentage is raised high enough, he will send two gangsters as bodyguards whenever Niko needs backup.
During their friendship activities, Dwayne tells Niko about his life and at first presents very negative outlooks in conversation. However, after enough activities with Niko, Dwayne begins to act more positively and after Niko himself tells him to stop complaining and try to enjoy life, Dwayne finally begins to share some positive outlooks and hopes with Niko. Forge has a bitter hatred for Jimmy Kand who lives a few doors from his apartment.
- If he is spared in The Holland Play, Dwayne will send Niko an email. If the player responds positively, he will become a friend. When his 'like' percentage is high enough, he will send two goons to back Niko up when requested. They will stay with Niko for around 10–15 minutes until he says that he wants to be alone again. If you do not drop them off in about a minute they will bail out of the vehicle.
- Dwayne is the fifth and final friend you will make within "Grand Theft Auto IV", excluding the 3 girlfriends that can be made friends with before or after. He is available between 3 PM and 1 AM.
- The possible activities with Dwayne are: Drinking, Eating, Bowling, Seeing a show (Perestroika or Split Sides) or going to a Strip Club. He likes classy places like the Superstar Café, however still loves Cluckin' Bell. His nightspot preference is Club Liberty in Northwood, Algonquin. He does not like it when you drive too fast. Doing these activities with Dwayne does not count towards 100% completion.
- Getting Dwayne's 'like' percentage over or equal to 90% counts towards the "Liberty City (5) achievement/trophy if you were to keep him alive during the mission "The Holland Play". If you were to kill him during the mission the achievement/trophy would be easier to accomplish, but you suffer the fact of losing an extra safehouse/car save spot.
- Dwayne highly dislikes helicopters, so it is advised not to pick him up with one, however he likes the NRG900 very much, so if you have one and you are skilled with it, pick him up in one.
- Dwayne likes The Classics as well as Beat 102.7 for radio stations while driving around.

- If the player chooses to kill Dwayne Forge, his file and profile on the online police database or on the police car computers changes him as deceased. If the player kills Playboy, it does not change him to deceased.
- After some time in the game, some time after you beat the mission That Special Someone, Dwayne changes his voicemail.
- Dwayne has three different voice-mails throughout the game; the most for any character. The first one is after when Playboy gives him his number, the second one is after your first mission and to That Special Someone, and then lastly after That Special Someone.
- In some cases, after killing Playboy, Dwayne will give Niko his safehouse, and Niko will keep him as a contact, but Dwayne will not give you any options as a friend (such as playing pool, bowling, drinking, eating, etc.). You can only call him, which will give you his voicemail, and he will never call you.
- His and Playboy's relationship is similar to Mikhail Faustin and Dimitri Rascalov's. Both have known each other for a long time, and one of them will eventually betray the other (Playboy betrays Dwayne in The Holland Play and Dimitri betrays Mikhail in The Master and the Molotov).
- In the L.C. Cage Fighters ring, a voice almost identical to Dwayne's can be heard cheering on when the player chooses to spectate. However, due to Dwayne living in near poverty, it may not be him despite the ring being only a couple of blocks away from his apartment.
- In Grand Theft Auto V there is a guard that appears in the mission, Three's Company, that looks strikingly similar to Dwayne.

Hi, my name is Mrs. Lani Black and I teach in Naches, WA, USA. I have been teaching for 26 years, 25 of those years in Naches. I have taught all grade levels, but 4th grade has been my favorite because fourth graders are awesome, smart, cute and sweet! My favorite subjects are math and science because I like to figure things out and I am very curious about how things work. When I was growing up, I probably drove my parents crazy asking "why?" or "how?" all the time.
I have three kids and two grandchildren all living close by. We get together as often as we can. I was born in Seattle, so my brother, sister, mom and dad live "on the west side" of the mountains in the Seattle area. I moved to Yakima when I was 23 and stayed because of the amazing spring, summer and fall weather! I finished college at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA and got a teaching job right away, so I was lucky!
Some of my hobbies are: photography, bicycling, hiking, traveling, camping, and genealogy. Some of my favorite foods are: anything chocolate, seafood, chocolate, good coffee, chocolate, sushi, and did I mention chocolate? Do we happen to have anything in common? Leave a comment for me if we do!

Mind Over Matter
How Scientology's founder science-fiction writer, L. Ron Hubbard, created a religion of individualism and personal power.
Actress Katie Holmes' engagement to Scientologist Tom Cruise and her conversion to the Church of Scientology once again turned the media spotlight on this secretive group. To gain insight into Scientology's roots and its growth as an American religious movement, Beliefnet senior editor Alice Chasan spoke with Hugh B. Urban, professor of religious studies in the Department of Comparative Studies at Ohio State University. Prof. Urban, who studies secrecy in religion and contemporary new religious movements, is author most recently of 'Tantra: Sex, Secrecy, Politics, and Power in the Study of Religions.'
What are the central tenets of Scientology?
The tenets evolved over time. The movement started in 1950 as Dianetics, when [L. Ron] Hubbard published his book "Dianetics," originally in a science-fiction magazine, "Astounding Science Fiction."
Dianetics was originally more a self-help therapy, superficially pretty similar to psychoanalysis--basically an understanding of how the mind works and how to remove problematic memory traces from the mind.
Then by 1954, it had grown into a more recognizable religious movement as the Church of Scientology. And that's when Hubbard introduced more clearly religious kinds of beliefs, such as the idea of the Thetan, which is your spiritual self, or immortal soul-like entity. He introduced the idea of the Infinite, which is basically like God, and an idea of reincarnation because Thetans are reincarnated over and over again. But the basic principles of how the mind works stayed the same from Dianetics to Scientology.
And Hubbard's basic idea is that human beings have two kinds of mind: what he calls the analytic mind, which he describes as a flawless computer, and the reactive mind, which is sort of like Freud's model of the unconscious, even though Hubbard didn't like Freud much.
The reactive mind is the repository for what Hubbard calls "engrams," which are memory traces, specifically moments of pain that get sort of burned in the reactive mind and then cause us problems in the future, both physical problems and psychological problems. And the idea is that through a process called "auditing," you can go back and pinpoint where those engrams are and relive them and thereby clear them from your reactive mind.
The ultimate goal is to clear all of those problematic engrams. And that's the state called "clear," when you're completely free from all those negative memory experiences.
Dianetics really focused on dealing with the engrams of this particular life--going all the way back to childhood, even in the prenatal state. But in Scientology, Hubbard introduced the idea of reincarnation, so that you have engrams not just from this lifetime but previous lifetimes. And so Scientologists describe experiences like being killed in the Civil War or even more incredible sorts of things like being on other planets and experiences in previous lifetimes.

Smart Media Recognized for Product Excellence and Environmental Commitment
A simple suggestion five years ago to a client, recommending that they publish the company's carbon footprint in their annual report, led Smart Media to adopt a broad and continuous sustainability commitment in its own operations and in the production of its award-winning annual reports.
One of the very few companies in the world to focus exclusively on annual reports, Smart Media The Annual Report Company ('Smart Media') helps organizations produce annual reports which go beyond statutory disclosure and compliance to become effective instruments of corporate communications.
In 2008, Smart Media encouraged a client to voluntarily publish their carbon footprint in the annual report. Since then, the numbers of client companies including this operational emissions information in annual reports have grown. Some clients depend upon Smart Media's consultancy assistance which includes training, development of data entry forms and computation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
By way of setting an example, Smart Media commenced producing carbon neutral annual reports in 2009, by thoroughly analyzing the carbon emissions associated with the full annual report production process. Then, Smart Media chose to partner with Carbonfund.org to neutralize these emissions by supporting global reforestation projects. In 2012, Smart Media became completely carbon neutral under Scopes 1 and 2 as well as selected sources under Scope 3 of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard by mitigating its own operational emissions with Carbonfund.org.
"Our strategy was to reduce our GHG emissions as much as possible and to offset the rest thereafter. Our philosophy, when in comes to partnerships is 'the best or not at all'. Having looked around we chose Carbonfund.org, as it is an independent foundation having a great track record and credibility. They have the experience and expertise to help clients in almost any sector in any part of the world. Thus, their capabilities matched our requirements as well as those of our varied group of clients" says Dr. Vijith Kannangara, Chairman, Smart Media The Annual Report Company.
Doing business in Bahrain, Hong Kong, Maldives, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and UAE, and with a track record spanning over 15 years and 1,500 reports, Smart Media is the acknowledged leader for annual reports in the Asia-Pacific region. This is borne out by the numerous international awards and accolades earned year after year, including the Platinum Achievement Award at the International ARC Awards, USA - popularly dubbed as the Oscars of Annual Reports - in 2010 and 2012 – and in 2013, Smart Media received an unprecedented 94 awards, including 25 Gold awards and 7 Grand awards.
Smart Media clients get the benefit of working with a certified carbon neutral company and neutralizing the GHG emissions resulting from annual report production activities outsourced by Smart Media in the production of their annual reports, including the usage of paper and printing, offset through verified sources. As a result of Smart Media's leadership, some clients have begun setting targets to reduce their GHG emissions intensity through the adoption of energy efficiency and conservation measures as well as fuel switching, with the added benefits of operational cost savings. For Smart Media, this may well be its single largest contribution – though indirect – towards environmental stewardship. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Smart Media in these efforts.
Detour Travel Promotes Sustainable Tours and CarbonFree® Operations
The summer travel season is around the corner, and exotic locations lure the most adventurous travelers to remote and environmentally sensitive areas to experience their wonders. When planning these trips, environmentally responsible travelers will seek out sustainable tours that meet established ecotourism guidelines.
The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people." CarbonFree® Business Partner Detour, The Adventure Travel Marketplace adheres to this definition and its guiding principles when selecting the local tour operators and outfitters for its online destination tours and travel adventures. Detour actively promotes sustainable tourism by offering trips operated by local ecotourism companies and promoting green certified hotels in the trip destinations they support.
As an important part of its sustainability mission, Detour minimizes it own operational carbon emissions then mitigates what it cannot eliminate in partnership with Carbonfund.org. As a virtual company, Detour follows Carbonfund.org's motto to "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™" by maintaining only a small wind-powered office with some employees working from home. Detour handles all tour information and customer communications online, replacing paper and printing with electronic documents. And for the past six years, Detour has neutralized all remaining operational emissions through the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program. To date, Detour has neutralized over 500,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by 6000 trees over a ten-year period.
"As a company based on promoting small-scale tourism directly through socially and environmentally responsible local tour operators and outfitters, Detour is committed to protecting the environment and minimizing global climate change," said Greg Findley, Detour's CEO.
Working only with sustainable local travel companies ensures that the tours support the local economies. Detour selects tour operations that employ local people and provide economic incentives for local people to protect their natural and cultural resources. Traveling with local companies also gives travelers a window into the lives of the communities they visit. This inside knowledge can make the difference between being a tourist and thoroughly experiencing and learning about a destination.
Taking a trip, even the most sustainably-planned tour, has some negative environmental impacts, including the carbon emissions of airplane travel and on-site ground transportation. Detour advises its customers to become environmentally-responsible travelers by choosing a sustainable trip, taking fewer and longer trips, and trying to get direct air flights when possible. Finally, Detour encourages tour customers to purchase carbon credits to offset the carbon emissions from their flights through Carbonfund.org. Join the ranks of eco-travelers by selecting leading sustainable tour operators like Detour and taking the extra steps to neutralize your vacation travel emissions.
CarbonFree® Small Business Partners Celebrate 5th and 6th Anniversaries in 2013
Carbonfund.org is pleased to announce that 2013 will bring big program anniversaries for about one hundred of our small business partners. The CarbonFree® Business Partnership program, launched in 2007, makes it easy and affordable for businesses of all sizes to enhance their sustainability by joining the program either at pre-set donation levels based on employee size, or by calculating and mitigating actual annual operational emissions. The program benefits include promotion of this environmentally responsible initiative through displaying the CarbonFree® Partner logo, maintaining a Partner Page on the Carbonfund.org website and being featured in online blogs and e-newsletters written by Carbonfund.org.
Our 5th and 6th year anniversary partners include the spectrum of businesses – healthcare/nutrition, eco-tourism, product retailers, technology service providers, and a variety of start-up product and service companies. What these businesses have in common is demonstrated leadership in a long-term commitment to ensuring that their products, services and operations are offered to their customers in the most sustainable way possible.
"When we designed the CarbonFree® Partner Program, we wanted to make it a very simple, easy-to-understand program that fit the budget of any business, regardless of age, size or industry," explains Carbonfund.org founder and president Eric Carlson. "These one hundred businesses celebrating their 5th or 6th anniversaries help to confirm that we're doing what we set out to achieve."
In honor of the renewal anniversaries for these CarbonFree® Business Partners, Carbonfund.org developed a unique 2013 CarbonFree® Partner logo featuring the number of years the business has been in the program. We're also planting trees on behalf of these anniversary Partners – 50 and 60 trees planted for the 5th and 6th anniversaries, respectively – as an additional way to acknowledge their long-term commitment to helping win the fight against climate change and supporting our carbon reduction projects around the world.
Watch www.carbonfund.org/blog for features of our CarbonFree® Anniversary Partners, starting in December and continuing throughout 2013.
Telecom for Charity Continues Carbonfund.org Support and Every Day is Earth Day Pledge
Social and charitable giving has become a standard practice among most successful businesses today, with a growing trend towards charitable contribution programs that distinguish a business and its service offering within its industry.
Carbonfund.org business partner Nice Touch Communications (NTC), based in New York City, was an early leader in charitable giving programs with its Telecom for Charity initiative. NTC is a sales and consulting firm that has been providing voice and data solutions for over 15 years, and they launched Telecom for Charity in 2008. NTC works with businesses, non-profits, charities and other organizations to provide top tier telecom services while also donating 5% of each customer's monthly telecom bill to their selected charity through the Telecom for Charity program.
Telecom for Charity (T4C) provides its business customers with the opportunity to support Carbonfund.org right from their monthly telecom bill. As a result, NTC clients and their employees are contributing back to society simply by going about their daily business of making phone calls and using the Internet. Every time a phone call is made, or a webpage is visited, Telecom for Charity customers are adding to their monthly support donations to Carbonfund.org. But the donations do not increase monthly costs; the donations come directly from Telecom for Charity and NTC, made on behalf of each business customer. To date, Telecom for Charity has donated almost $2600 to Carbonfund.org.
"We wholeheartedly believe in what Carbonfund.org is doing; and feel our program can be a great way to generate support with minimal effort for a long time to come," says Jay Frank, Program Director for Telecom for Charity.
For prospective customers and any CarbonFree® Business Partner interested in telecom services, Telecom for Charity offers its "Every Day is Earth Day" promotion. T4C will make a donation to mitigate 2.5 metric tonnes of carbon emissions to Carbonfund.org, supporting carbon reduction and clean air project innovation, with no obligation to the prospective customer, just for talking to T4C about their telecommunications environment and telecom needs.
Carbonfund.org Helps Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures Minimize Environmental Impact
The "Leave No Trace Behind" ethic is supported by the four major US federal land management agencies and by most eco-travel organizations trying to uphold high standards of environmentally-responsible tour operations. These principles can be followed in eco-tourism planning and observed onsite during tours, but eco-travel operations still generate other sources of harmful environmental emissions through transportation and onsite energy consumption during tour operations.
Carbonfund.org works with several eco-tour operators who take their environmental commitment beyond the tenets of "Leave No Trace Behind" by measuring, reducing where possible and mitigating all carbon emissions from their operations, and CarbonFree® partner Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures is a great example.
Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures maintains carbon neutral operations for the transportation and energy consumption they cannot eliminate by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon reduction projects around the world.
"It's so important to do what we can to leave the smallest impact possible here on planet earth. This is why we partner with the Carbonfund.org," states Taylor Phillips, Owner and Lead Guide for Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures.
Eco Tour Adventures was created with the idea of helping people connect with and gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world through wildlife observation and natural history interpretation. Their premise is that their tour guests develop a stronger bond with the natural world and will make more environmentally sound choices in their daily lives. TripAdvisor recently named Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures as one of ten great wildlife tours. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Eco Tour Adventures in their carbon emissions mitigation efforts, helping their organization serve as a positive role model for its tour guests and for other eco-tourism businesses.

The East African Law Chamber (EALC) has become a member of one of the oldest, biggest and most credible law firms in South Africa, Bowman Gilfillan.
Speaking at a party held at a Dar es Salaam hotel at the weekend, EALC founding partner Juvenalis Ngowi said the move increases the capacity of the law firm to offer high quality cross-border legal services inside and outside the country.
"EALC becoming a member of Bowman Gilfillan Africa Group is a strategic move in the wake of new regional economic realities.

It's also a fact that Tanzania is increasingly becoming a focal point for investment for multi-national and international companies. This affiliation puts the EALC in the best position to serve such clientele," explained George Fernandes, EALC partner.
Speaking at the function, Jonathan Lang, Head of the Bowman Gilfillan Africa Group, said it was exciting for Bowman Gilfillan to join hands with the EALC to bring top of the ladder cross-border legal services in upping existing cross-border corporate entities and also emerging ones in diverse fields ranging from oil and gas to telecoms.
"You can be sure that the EALC, which is led by a young, dynamic and visionary team, is able to offer the highly needed international quality legal services whenever needed. We have a lot of confidence in the team," he said.
Tanganyika Law Society president Francis Stolla commended the EALC, saying the provision of international quality legal services was necessary, as multinational firms continue investing in the country, and developing world-class competencies was paramount.
For his part, Kenya's High Commissioner to Tanzania Mutinda Mutiso hailed the EALC, saying the partnership was necessary for enhanced economic growth in different sectors.
"Developing global competencies in the legal sector is a must. This is crucial for international contract negotiations," he said.
EALC is a medium size law firm, comprising lawyers with brilliant breadth and depth of corporate, commercial law and litigation experience. It specialises in corporate and commercial affairs, employment and labour, telecommunications, conveyances, mining, oil and gas, banking and finance, tax advisory, legal consultancy and commercial litigation.
Another partner of the EALC, Stella Ndikimi, noted that by joining the Bowman Gilfillan African Group, the EALC would elevate its platform in providing seamless legal services to its clientele not just within the country, but also across Africa.
EALC currently advises corporations, financial institutions, governments, state and private owned enterprises.
Bowman Gilfillan is one of the premier South African corporate and commercial law firms and has over 350 lawyers (including partners).
In 2008, the Group opened its office in Nairobi, Kenya, through Coulson Harney. In Kampala, Uganda, it has association with A.F. Mpanga.
The Bowman Gilfillan Africa Group has a presence in Southern and Eastern Africa – Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda, and it also works closely with one of Nigeria's leading law firms Udo Udoma & Belo Osagie.
