Book Description:
Between 1513 and 1525 Niccolò Machiavelli wrote a series of works dealing with political, military, and historical matters. One of these (the 'Arte della guerra') was published in 1521, but the rest of his major writings were not published until 1531-2, nearly five years after his death. They continued to be reissued regularly, well into the early seventeenth century. The popularity of Machiavelli's books, the variety of his themes, the different contexts within which he was studied, the range of readers' interests, and the fact that his name entered the vocabulary of every European language - all make his early reception a fruitful field of enquiry. Historians of ideas have tended to tidy up the past in order to make it comprehensible but Sydney Anglo is concerned with heterogeneity, and with the often irrational and emotional aspects of sixteenth-century thought. Basing his research entirely upon primary sources he quotes extensively in the conviction that, in a battle of words, the words themselves and their tone convey more than summaries of intellectual abstractions.

Why Are People Surprised by Racist Halloween Costumes?
Welcome to a special Halloween edition of This Week in Racism. I'll be ranking Halloween costumes on a scale of 1 to RACIST, with "1" being the least racist and "RACIST" being the most racist.
-This might come as a major shock to you, but wearing racially insensitive Halloween costumes is pretty popular. Blogs got their digital panties in a twist in 2012, 2011, 2010,2009, and pretty much every year that the internet has existed as a perpetual outrage machine. Halloween is like Christmas for racists, because it's an easy way to cloak bigotry in the guise of fun.
It should be no surprise, then that Julianne Hough's foray into the darker side of the holiday (pun very much intended) generated a ton of attention this week for her choice of costume. Bloggers slammed her for insensitivity, and friends came out in support of her choice to dress up like an African-American character from Orange is the New Black. I don't imagine she's a hateful person, nor do I think she was out to offend. That said, as a celebrity (even a reality star) who happens to be white, it's definitely not wise to step out in public with a bunch of brown paint on your face… unless you're going as a delicious piece of semi-sweet baking chocolate, which is such a great idea. Seriously, you can have that for free. 5

Implausible Literary Halloween Costumes That No One Will Get
Jonathan Franzen
Acquire a small loan from a local bank or a rich friend and use the money to buy the most expensive pair of black-rimmed glasses you can find. Maybe use a little hair gel or something, but only just enough so that you feel like you look cool but didn't mean to. Wear a white oxford shirt and Duck Head pants with a braided belt and some penny loafers, maybe. If you want to be "edgy Jonathan Franzen" you could get a jean jacket rather than a blazer, but make sure it's one of those jean jackets that costs as much as a blazer. You should smell a little musty, like a library mixed with birdshit, covered up with Annick Goutal's Easu D'Hadrien cologne. I recommend practicing your disinterested-and-scornful-but-internally-knitting-suburban-majesty face in the mirror while blasting Michael Bolton. Make sure that throughout the night, when surrounded by people, this expression never changes. Maybe keep surreptitiously farting without gesture, always looking elsewhere while standing against the wall nearest to the exit, pretending to be reading an email from your agent instead of lurking through the profiles of single young women who've mentioned you on Twitter.
A Literary Agent
Dress like you did for Jonathan Franzen, but this time actually talk to other people, making sure to laugh more loudly than is necessary at jokes that aren't funny. Don't say anything yourself, just kind of stand there, awkwardly hovering near wherever the most active part of the room seems to be. Don't be afraid to end an awkward or boring conversation by simply turning away from whoever's taking up your time in mid-sentence and joining in with someone else. Make sure you spill some of your food on your shirt, but pretend not to notice. When it's time to leave, accidentally walk into the coat closet. Then stay there.
What Not to Wear This Halloween
Oh, Halloween. The worst night to get a cab and the best night to take home a slutty Disney princess. Is it really a holiday, since we don't get the day off from work? Of course it is, because when else could you get nudity in massive quantities, enough facepaint to excuse you for bringin home a five, and cauldrons full of shame the next day.
Before you skank-it-out at a house party, leave your credit card at the bar, or turn into a weirdo roaming graveyards, you'll have to pick out a Halloween costume interesting enough to spark a conversation with that five. You'll have to navigate the thin line between offensive enough to be clever and overcompensating with complete stupidity. For those not smart enough to use all three digits of their IQs, we've brought you a guide on what not to wear on Halloween, so when you only pick up your sexy pizza-slice costume off the floor the next morning and not also your dignity.
Who sells that? Amazon.
What's it supposed to be? A "realistic black Kenyan man"—perfect for doing the Harlem Shake (um, what?).
Why shouldn't I wear it? It's racist.
What kind of person wears that? A bigot.
Who makes that? aleXsandro Palombo, for his website humorchic.com; a "daily society portrait blog, the best illustrated fashion chronicle, a point of view about costume, politics, culture, society, and celebrity. aleXsandro Palombo is the father of fashion satire, visionary artist, author, and critic."
What's it supposed to be? It's a T-shirt of Amanda Knox holding a bloodstained knife.
Wasn't she acquitted of murder? Yes.
What kind of person wears that? The kind of person who believes they are the "father of fashion satire."
The Bill and Ted Show at Universal Studios Is Super Homophobic (and Also Racist and Terrible)
Each year, Universal Studios Hollywood has a big Halloween event called Halloween Horror Nights. Part of this is a play called Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure.
The play is about Bill and Ted going on some kind of pantomime-y Halloween adventure. Along the way, lots of jokes are made about things that have happened in pop culture over the preceding year.
I use the term "jokes" loosely here. As they are, generally, terrible, and follow the same formula: Pop cultural reference + pop cultural reference + a reference to sex = LOL!
For instance, there's a scene where a Sharknado appears and Kim Jong Un comes on to the stage to explain that the Sharknado came into existence as a result of Kristen Stewart sucking his dick too hard. After he said this, the audience laughed. Unless I'm missing something, this is meant to be funny because:
1) It references Kristen Stewart
2) It references Kim Jong Un
3) It references sex
4) It references Sharknado

I took my kids trick or treating yesterday and the second stop on our route was the Hadley household. Right off the bat, they lose a star for giving out Life Savers. Is this a 6th grade secret santa grab bag? Run out of carob chips? The candy you serve speaks volumes about you as a citizen. And a human being.

The Guntersons did a wonderful job tricking their house out for us trick or treaters :-} Lots of spooky cobwebs and tombstones. My problem is with Jake Gunterson's candy policy. When he saw that my son was costumed as a hobo clown, he told Timmy that he "doesn't do handouts." As we were leaving, however, another child arrived dressed as a California Raisin, and I heard Mr. Gunderson say, "what a delightful Bill Cosby," followed by the distinct sound of Kit Kats falling into a pillowcase.

Like many parents in our neighborhood, I wore my own costume while my two daughters trick or treated. When we got to Jake's house, he said, "Do you really think I'm going to give you anything?" I asked him what he meant. He said, "You're an Obama phone," "No," I calmly explained, "I'm a Motorola clamshell." "Well then, what's that?" he said, pointing down towards my groin. "It's a zero button," I replied, trying hard to keep my cool. Then he called me an expletive I was really hoping my daughters wouldn't have to hear until at least third grade and confiscated my girls' Milk Duds.

A Pajama Weekend
Because Ken and I are both freelance creatives, weekends sometimes look a bit differently for our family. We hit the ground running early, prepping photo shoots and scheduling content and brainstorming ideas – all while taking turns feeding Bee avocados and changing diapers and kissing bruised knees. It's kind of a frenzy, really, but we love it. On most days.
This past weekend, we packed the schedule a bit too tight, overflowing with deadlines that spilled over into the coming week. Lights and cameras and action littered the home like trash on a highway, reminding us that the life of a creative can sometimes look a lot more messy than we prefer. But on Sunday afternoon – halfway through a seemingly never-ending shot list – we paused as Bee woke from her nap and snapped a few photos of our frenzied, harried, messy lives.
And I realized something. We have no shortage of photos of the events in our lives: birthday parties, family visits, trips to the zoo. But it's the everyday moments I want to remember: the days that smell like strawberry Puffs and innocence, full of life and hope and dreams. The days where our hair is unwashed and the bed is unmade and the to do list is unchecked. The real, everyday beauty.
This particular moment could have passed. We could have come up with a million excuses to press on and tackle the checklist, styling the nightstand and testing the lighting. But we didn't. And I am so grateful for these photos – a gentle reminder that the days (and checklists) are long. But the years are short. They are fleeting, strung together with the moments we choose to create.
This weekend, we chose pajamas over productivity. And you know what? At the end of the day, the to do list was complete, empty of pending tasks and deadlines. But our hearts were very, very full indeed.

Live in Hawaii, where Hawaii lives. The island of Hawaii is alive. Growing daily, with magma hitting the sea twenty four hours per day since 1983, the island of Hawaii is alive in every sense. It has at least thirteen known climate zones, from arid desert to snow and ice atop Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Better known are the coral white beaches, the blended black and white beaches, and the black sand beaches on the Eastern side of the Island. The island of Hawaii has affordable places to live.
Especially since the collapse of the Real Estate Market here in 2008, there are many homes, lots, farms, and businesses available at the lowest prices in decades. The lowest priced areas are in rural Hawaii. This is where there are some farms, former sugar cane areas, and present coffee and macadamia nut orchards.
On the East side of Hawaii is Hilo with a population of approximately This is the rainy, or as they prefer to think of it, the rainbow splashed side, of the island. The very large county area is about 60 square miles. The population density is low, with just over 150,000 on the entire island. Most residents live on the Hilo side. Affordable places to live are found in Puna, and to the south in Ocean View, where one can still by a decent home for less than $100,000. If you want oceanfront, gated security and upscale living, there are a few homes in the sunny Kapoho area that average about $300,000. It is a full hour from Hilo town, and the village of Pahoa, having every amenity, likes it to stay that way. Hawaii is well integrated, there are Caucasions, Asians, and South Pacific Islanders of almost equal numbers here.
On the dry side of the island is Kona. Kona is famous for Kona coffee. Expensive homes, above $200,000 are found in the Kailua kona area. North of Kailua Kona, on the white coast, are where the billionaires park their jets and have their estates. Just to the north and south however, are larger lots, and affordable homes and farms from under $80,000 and up. Beaches are never too far away, but roads are often rough and rugged in the more rural areas.
If you really want to live in the tropics, the cost of living here is high, but the opportunities to take your life off grid are endless. There is ample solar, wind, geo thermal, water, and algae energy to tap into. It is the cost of food and transport that is truly high, but if you are a pioneer willing to give up on the Walmart and Costco type stores, you can grown your own food, generate your own power, and just be prepared to stay put rather than drive all the time.
For those of you who want a frontier existence, it is possible, and affordable in Pahoa, Kapoho, Ocean View, and parts of Waimea on the Big Island of Hawaii.

96 B2500 power door lock failure
96 B2500 power door lock failure
nothing. We've had over 11" rain locally in the last 4 days and the Van parks outside all day and night. Could this rain/humidity/deluge
be a factor in the failure? A short maybe somewhere? Does this system
have a circuit breaker or relay that is vulnerable to getting wet? Any ideas/thoughts/help appreciated. The Haynes Manual is woefully
inadequate, and I'm inexperienced in this type of lock system. Problems
continue almost monthly with this Van....I love it BUT I hate it... Thanks.
On my 2000 the fuse for the power locks is in the interior fuse panel at the end of the dash.
Thanks Alloro. Found fuse. It's a 30 amp, encased in a metal jacket,
so couldn't tell if its blown. Pulled it, scraped contacts, stuck it back in
and then the lock switches went "crazy" - clicking off-on-off-on etc. on
both front doors but the lock posts didn't go up and down, they just sort
of "chattered" like they wanted to move. WTF? Pulled fuse, substituted
it with the 30 amp. identical fuse for power windows (which work fine).
Same result....crazy clicking and chattering. So left the fuse out now.
Guess I'm stuck with manual locks like I had in my '76 B250. Damn.
Any further ideas? Thanks.
That's not a fuse within the metal casing, it's an auto reseting circuit breaker.
What it sounds like to me is that you have a short in one of the switches. The short is causing the circuit breaker to trip, then of course it resets itself and power flows again. The process keeps repeating itself, which is the chattering you're hearing.
The reason I suspect the short is in a switch is because if the switch wasn't making some kind of contact, then no power would be getting to the actuators inside the doors at the lock mechanisms.
Thanks, Alloro. So that metal encased unit is a circuit breaker - aha - that makes sense and so does your notion that a switch short is the probable fault. Also makes sense since of all our rain lately.... SO, a couple questions; 1) to access the door switch, must I remove the door panel or can I pry out the switch unit which also houses the window switches? 2) If I can pry it out, tool suggestions? ...Method? Where on the housing do I pry? 3) Disconnect the BATTERY NEG. beforehand?
4) Test switch with continuity tester? or just replace? or try to dry it out with my hair dryer first? 5) Any chance the problem might be in the remote unit? Thanks again for help. You are a great aid.
1) to access the door switch, must I remove the door panel or can I pry out the switch unit which also houses the window switches?
2) If I can pry it out, tool suggestions? ...Method? Where on the housing do I pry?
3) Disconnect the BATTERY NEG. beforehand?
4) Test switch with continuity tester? or just replace? or try to dry it out with my hair dryer first?
5) Any chance the problem might be in the remote unit?
1. I honestly don't know. I added power windows and lock in my van so I don't know how the factory ones come out.
2. If you're going to try prying, I would use a putty knife since they're thin and flexible.
3. Most definitely during the take everything apart phase. Once it's all apart and you know nothing is going to touch metal to short out, you can reconnect the battery for troubleshooting the circuits.
4. Yes I would test the switches first, just in case I've steered you wrong. I'd hate to see you buy something that you don't need. Drying it out would be a good first step.
5. By remote unit, do you mean an aftermarket keyless entry system? If so, disconnect the main plug to it and see if the door lock problem goes away and you'll have your answer.
Sorry to have been so long b4 reply. No luck on locks. I understand that the switches change the polarity of the relay, which make the lock solenoids either go "up" to unlock or "down" to lock. Before the circuit breaker stops altogether, the solenoids keep trying to "unlock" (push UP the locks). I'm thinking relay, but I CAN'T FIND THE DARN THING!
Does anybody know where it's located on my 96 B2500? Thanks.
Does anybody know where it's located on my 96 B2500?
If you power up the circuit can you hear the relays click? If so, you can find them by listening.
Never did either hear a clicking relay nor even find the darn thing. BUT.... the weather dried out around here for several days and, on a whim (tried everything else)
I stuck the circuit breaker back in the fuse panel. Lo and behold, the circuit breaker
didn't try to reset (clickety, click) nor did the lock actuator soleniods go crazy (click- clack-click). So I tried the lock switch on both drivers and passenger doors, AND
....A Miracle! Everything works perfectly. I guess something got too wet and wouldn't work. Guess I need to move to a drier climate or build a garage.....
Thanks for your help, alloro.

I've noticed whenever I talk to anyone who has Shaw home phone service, that the conversation really seems as if its half duplex per se.I call from a regular landline and carrying on a conversation is really quite irritating.I've proved it more than a few times where my called party is speaking away, and I can literally yell and they don't hear anything until they're done talking...that definitely not a full duplex conversation as any plain old land line telephone is.I mentioned it to a Shaw tech support person while dealing with an internet issue and he mentioned he had never noticed until I brought it up. After discussing with him, he said he thinks he has noticed that now that I mentioned it and would bring it up with the home phone department.So, after all that...does anyone else seem to notice this? I certainly wouldn't have expected that from a service that's supposed to be able to completely replace a traditional land line.thoughts??
That definitely is not the case, or at least it shouldn't be.I've had Shaw Home Phone since it was launched in Vancouver back in 05/06, and definitely have full duplex
my mother in law talks over me all the time! LOL This seems like a glitch on the customer end, or possibly a regional issue with the Shaw service.--"All opinions stated by me are solely my views and do not reflect the views of my employer, this site, or even myself depending on my level of sanity at the moment"
Ya, I kind of figured it would be ridiculous if that was indeed normal.I've only called a couple people with home phone in my city (Thunder Bay) but I've really noticed it to each person...odd.
Actually, oddly enough it was very much noticeable when calling from Shaw home phone service right to Shaw tech support. I had a rambling support person and I couldn't speak over him whatsoever as he didn't hear me.
Hmm, weird.Do the folks on the other end notice this when talking to people other than yourself? If so, they should call Shaw to have the issue logged and checked on.If one person reports it it could be dismissed as a customer premise issue. If multiple people call in then it's obvious Shaw needs to look a little deeper.At any rate, it sounds annoying
. Hope the issue gets worked out! --"All opinions stated by me are solely my views and do not reflect the views of my employer, this site, or even myself depending on my level of sanity at the moment"

Print is DEFINITELY IKEA. And I'm guessing the reading lamps are, too, since I've seen and owned something similar.
It's refreshing to see a room with a dog bed so plainly visible and yet still so stylish-- there is hope for us pet owners! :)
that wall color seems odd to me. it's like a neutral that isn't neutral at all. i wonder why they didn't go with more of a gray?
i don't like the positioning of the bed against the window. Not sure why you wouldn't orient the headboard against the wall without any windows.

development of antibiotic resistance, such as reducing the overall use of antibiotics by humans and curtailing the use of antibiotics in agricultural animals eaten as food.
An understanding of evolution is essential for another reason. As we learn more about the natural world, we will have greater potential deliberately to intervene in that world. Researchers already have begun to make specific changes in the DNA sequences of plants and animals to increase agricultural productivity. Soon they are likely to gain a comparable ability to change the DNA sequences of human cells. Wise decisions about when and how to use such knowledge will require a sophisticated grasp of evolutionary theory.
Apart from its practical applications, the theory of evolution has proven to be one of the most important unifying ideas in modern science. The basic mechanism at the heart of evolution—the differential reproductive success of organisms with different heritable traits—has profound implications throughout all of biology. Evolutionary theory is even central to such challenges as understanding the origins of humans and the evolution of the human brain. That such a simple mechanism could produce such complex outcomes provides a key insight into the workings of biological systems.
The flora and fauna of the Hawaiian islands offer just one example of how the processes of evolution have shaped life on earth. As such, the history of evolution in Hawaii demonstrates how powerful the concept can be in explaining what we see around us. The study of biological evolution has produced knowledge that is not only immensely useful but profoundly beautiful. It has deepened and enriched our view of living things—whether considering the plants and animals of Hawaii or the more than three billion years of life's history on this planet. As Charles Darwin wrote in the final sentence of On the Origin of Species, "There is a grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

Luckily, we're teaming up with Pixi on a sweepstakes to find out which Instagram filter is the best for looking bright eyed and bushy tailed—even if we haven't had our morning caffeine fix yet.

Here are some of their favorites:
Merchandising Manager Rachel (also known as frequent tweeter @Rachelista) use Instagram's #hefe to make her favorite PIXI lip stain pop.
Brand Planner Alexzandra looks camera ready, despite her long morning commute, thanks to her favorite Instagram filter #rise.
Not that we think she needs it, but Relationship Manager Deepica uses the #xpro Instagram filter to give her skin a dewy finish—even in the early morning!
Now it's your turn to enter! All you need to do is snap an Instagram of yourself with your favorite filter. Next, tweet your pic with the hashtag #MakeupToWakeup and be sure to include @PIXIbeauty in your tweets. Click here for full details.

Kasama Zambia, Mzuzu Malawi - September 2014
Two mega-crusades in three weeks, and so many children healed and delivered. It is impossible to be unmoved by Pastor Tommy Lilja Ministries' crusades. To see how thousands of children, some only 5-6 years old, can stand still for two hours during the altar call and prayer. How they lift their hands with great solemnity and emotion, close their eyes and seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and so many of them get set free! Just imagine - a child can have a demon living on the inside of them. One night Pastor Tommy commanded "demons of sexual abuse" to come out. Many children fell to the ground and manifested. We don't even want to consider what they have suffered through. The gospel is sweat, tears, joy, healing, restoration and deliverance. It is gravel, dust, poor people who dance for hours and sing to Jesus. In the midst of this poverty, Jesus is going forth as he has always done, among the bruised, the poor and the sick.
He isn't embarrassed by the demon-possessed, runny-nosed, dirty children. He is there in their midst, Jesus of Nazareth, and he was in the midst of our crusades in Zambia and Malawi.
The crusade in Kasama turned things upside down starting from the very first meeting. After the first half of the meeting the deliverance tent was already overflowing. The power of God pulsated in wave after wave throughout the meeting. Thousands prayed for salvation, hundreds raised their hands to confirm that they had been healed, and it was as if Jesus held the entire city in his embrace. Each night the power of God continued to push forward. Many people wanted to receive Jesus. Just when Pastor Tommy was going to conclude one of the meetings, a young girl managed to get through the guards and up onto the stage. She tugged on Pastor Tommy's jacket, said nothing but pointed to her ears. She was deaf in both. Pastor Tommy prayed quickly and asked, "Can you hear me now?" and we were so happy when she nodded yes in response. The final meeting was one of celebration. The stage was surrounded by people asking for prayer! One boy waved to Pastor Tommy and pointed to his mouth. He was mute. After a short prayer he could count to twelve. He forced the words out of his mouth and you can sense how he is learning the new sounds as he counts out loud for the first time.
The crusade in Malawi
Malawi might be the poorest and least developed of all the countries we have visited. At the first meeting, Pastor Tommy invited the sick to come forward for prayer. He asked the ushers to help him so that only sick people could come forward. There were about 700 people, so it took time. Many of those who were healed told us that something had left them. The second meeting went deeper into the Spirit, which was obvious in many ways. When Pastor Tommy came to the crusade he greeted those closest to the front. One older woman had come in a wheelchair! She was the first one Pastor Tommy greeted, and he looked deep into her eyes and commanded her to stand up. She stood up! When she started walking, she didn't sit down again for two hours! Friday night was a typical night for Pastor Tommy Lilja Ministries, as so many people got delivered. Saturday evening something happened that has never happened before. All at once the Holy Spirit fell upon several hundred children, and in an invisible wave they all fell to the ground. It was incredible to see. Pastor Tommy also made the mistake of laying hands on the interpreter in the middle of the sermon. He was out under the power for 15 minutes, and the choir had to sing until he woke up again. Many Muslims came to the meeting after a deaf Muslim girl got healed on Friday night.
Kitwe Zambia, June 2014
The mother had been to the doctor many times. There was no life in her womb. She was expecting twins, but an operation had been scheduled to abort what the doctor called âthe lifeless fetuses.â During prayer on Sunday night, the babies started to move and the mother felt how they were kicking in the womb â they were alive!

PTL, USA July 2014. It took 17 month of waiting but today Pastor Tommy Lilja Ministries is recognized as a Non-profit-organization in the US. And ... we are recognized as an international organization! That's a miracle. Just imagine, our head office is located in one of the smallest cities in the world - Solvesborg. We are now busy planning for the next step and we are so very excited to see what God will do.

PTL, Africa July 2014. The first 6 months have been record breaking both in number of crusades and of impact. Africa lies wide-open and the Bonke vision of a "Blood washed Africa", echoes through the heart of every Gospel Crusader.

The harvest is ready to embrace an army of Gospel Crusaders - are you one of them?

Word for the World - April 4
A Materialistic World
"In the beginning, God created…" (Genesis 1:1,)
Our world is dominated by one particular worldview we know as materialism. Materialism is the idea that matter has always existed, always will exist, and thus is all that matters. Materialism denies a transcendent (in a different realm) Creator.
We most often think of materialism in an economic sense. A "materialist" is one who "gets all he can, cans all he gets, and sits on the cam!" His behavior displays the fact that, for him, matter is what matters.
But a materialistic worldview goes beyond economics. The belief that abortion is acceptable grows out of a materialistic worldview. When life becomes a matter of chemical makeup rather than the creative work of an Almighty God, then it is not a problem to reconstitute those chemicals. In fact, all morality comes from your view on materialism. Materialists believe that right and wrong are determined based upon how one's behavior affects the matter around them. Thus, for a materialist, right and wrong can only be determined by the situation at hand.
Reject materialism! Adopt a theistic worldview that understands that a transcendent, Almighty God spoke matter into being. As the creator, he is also the sustainer. Morality is now based not on the matter at hand but on the character of the God created matter
In His Grace,

For other scenes, particularly in established relationships, a safeword may be agreed to signify
a warning rather than explicit withdrawal of consent; and a few choose not to use a safeword at all. In September 2003 the BBC reported on the new dogging craze. If ejaculation is onto the other person face it can be called a facial. Sadomasochism does not imply enjoyment through causing or receiving pain in other situations . Lucky Pierre is slang for a person performing both receptive and insertive anal and/or vaginal sex simultaneously during a threesome, being positioned between the two partners. Greater economic and social freedom allowed them gradually to be able to determine how they could form relationships and families. Shemale is a term primarily used in sex work to describe a trans woman with male genitalia combined with female secondary sex characteristics, usually including augmented female breasts, from breast augmentation and/or use of hormones. Examples include the Girls Gone Wild and Girls Who Like Girls Series. Crying pornography that features participating actors crying. While bondage is a very popular variation within the larger field of BDSM, it is nevertheless sometimes differentiated from the rest of this field. When he is in position the cover is closed. A female dominant in a master/slave relationship is often termed a Mistress, not to be confused with the colloquial usage of mistress as a kept sexual partner without a similarly formalized power relationship. Ass to mouth pornography shows the transfer of a performer penis from a second performer anus to that same second performer mouth in a single shot. Sex experts have praised various techniques that the performer can use during fellatio to increase their partner pleasure. Actual spying may violate privacy and/or trespassing laws in many countries. Depictions of male and female masturbation are common in pornography, including gay pornography. The first pegging scene appears to have been in the non-pornographic 1970 film Myra Breckinridge, based on the novel of the same name by Gore Vidal, although it was not explicit.

What is the major difference between testing an application or a software system compared to testing a game? This is the question I asked myself when I switched jobs after ten years of working with software testing and quality assurance within mobile phones, to start working with games. I have read almost everything there is to read about software testing in general, but I have no real knowledge about game testing. So I have bought two books on game testing to get some basic understanding, and worked a few weeks to get some practical hands on experience.
To aid in my own competence development I tried to compile what I have learned so far.
Software testing is an engineering discipline. This is also true for game testing. Yes, you can play games and find bugs without structure or expert knowledge just as you can test that a mobile phone works, but if you want to exceed you need to become a professional tester.
Being a professional game tester means that you must understand both testing in general, but also the unique discipline of game testing. This is no small feat, as software testing is very complex and multifaceted, and game testing requires very specific skills.
Before we can explore the differences we need to agree on the similarities between software testing and game testing. Basically everything that Cem Kaner has written in his course Black Box Software Testing [1] is in my opinion applicable to both fields. Almost everything Alan Page has written about test automation [2] can also be applied to game testing. Most of what is included in the ISTQB testing certifications [3] should also be valid. Game testing basically inherits almost every aspect of software testing in general. Even the mindset of James Bach and his rapid software testing [4] can basically be tailor made for game testing. How Google and Microsoft works with software testing can teach game testers a lot about how to structure and organize testing in a good way [5][6].
Game testing is every bit as complex as any other testing, and should be treated in just the same way. It is not something that can be left to untrained laymen. There is a place for live user test, or alpha and beta test, but those are just a few pieces in a much larger puzzle. To reduce game testing to something as simple as just playing the game to see if you find any problems, is to seriously undermine the quality of your game.
So how is game testing unique? What aspects make game testing different from normal software testing? I tried to compile a list of types of testing that makes game testing especially troublesome. [7][8][9]
Usability or user experience is something that is tested for all software, but Fun Factor Testing is something unique to games, since they are an entertainment product. Games are not only supposed to work intuitively and provide a good user experience – they also have to be fun to play. How do you assess if something is fun or not? How do you know if a certain experience is something that will entice the proposed target group? This requires a unique insight into game design, and vast experience and data about the user group and what that group enjoys.
Creating balance between different options, as well balance of difficulty for different levels, monsters or events, is also something unique to games. Balance Testing can only be done in a good way with a vast knowledge of game design and how the target audience responds to different difficulty levels. It also requires many hours of actual gameplay of the game under test.
One of the most complex aspects of game testing can be the testing of the actual world or level, especially if it is a vast, sprawling, 3D world, such as for modern MMOs. Some parts of this can be automated in interesting ways that are also quite unique to game testing, such as having bots move randomly through the game world to see if they get stuck or find other problems with the world. As the complexity of the task grows, it becomes more and more important to find ways to reduce the complexity with the help of tools. For puzzle games it is important to make sure that all the graphics for every level looks good, but also that each level is passable, and that game mechanics that have previously been tested in isolation, actual work in different level implementations.
Testing that computer-controlled opponents are working correctly, that the artificial intelligence is behaving according to design, can also become very difficult as the complexity of the behavior increases. Chess is a good basic example, and enemies in a first person shooter is a more modern one. This type of testing requires the tester to understand what triggers different types of behavior, and how these triggers can be confused by different parameters. Understanding of AI and game design is critical to succeed in this field.
Multiplayer testing is a whole other beast in itself. Many players simultaneously interacting with the game world, with computer-controlled opponents, with game servers, with each other. So many things that can go wrong. And it often requires a whole team of testers. Many difficult risk-based decisions to make if you don't want to spend unlimited amounts of time testing different scenarios. Understanding of multiplayer game design, and how to test efficiently as a team is required knowledge for this type of testing.
Audio testing is common in all software that creates some kind of sound or plays media. However games have a unique aspect that other software does not have to care about to the same extent. Game music has to involve the user in the game and enhance the game play. Not only should the audio play without stuttering or missing elements, it should also add to the gameplay. This requires extensive audio skills and specific understanding of game audio. Very specific expert domain knowledge.
Many modern 3D games have physics engines. Modern shooters such as Battlefield or Crisis and RPGs such as Skyrim, have destructible environment and possibilities to throw objects. Testing if the physics engine works requires an understanding of physics as well as how to implement that in a good way into a game. The complexity of the testing grows with the complexity of the engine.
Especially in simulators or racing games it is very relevant that the game feels real, but many other games also incorporate elements that need to feel real. Testing for realism requires specific domain knowledge needed for the game or game element. An airplane simulator requires an understanding of airplanes. Cars, weapons, human movement, animals. Each poses their own problems.
A lot of software has open API that can be used by third parties. But there are few other instances where the players will try to exploit these open API to gain unfair gameplay advantages. This requires outside-the-box thinking. How will the modders use the API, and how will they be able to alter the gameplay in significant ways? Being one step ahead of the entire community of modders is a daunting task indeed.
In addition to these different types of testing, categorizing users can most likely also be done in a unique way for games, to help prioritize and select what tests and use cases are most relevant to run. How to do this categorization is another article in itself, but I leave you with an example of how you could think about categorizing different types of gamers. [7][8]
I have tried to cover some of what makes games a unique testing experience. I am sure there is even more, and I hope that I will be able to identify even more aspects as my experience in game testing grows.
One thing is already certain however. Game testing is very complex, and the complexity will grow as games become more and more complex. It is a combinatorial explosion that can only be handled by testing in a very smart way. Underestimating the competence and effort required to test games is something that can undermine the quality of any game.
Any tester who takes their game testing seriously need to master a large number of techniques, methods and processes, and understand their product in a way which is not required for many other software testing fields.
A daunting task indeed.

Hey, an article about QA! And it has sources! Yay! :)
I would caution you on some of your testing ideas. If you get a job testing a game be extremely cautious in bugging "fun factor", "balance" and "emotional impact" of audio. There is a very good chance that it will just piss off the developers.
Most of that stuff is decided months before an alpha or pre-alpha build gets into a tester's hands. I would ask the lead or producer what the scope of testing is. Some might be fine with balance suggestions or design changes and others will get very angry. Things like "feel" and balance are in the realm of design, so unless they are asking about it, you are stepping on somebody else's toes.
In working in both game and non-game software worlds, I would say the biggest differences are reliance on test plans and randomness. Games are inherently random. You can't predict player behavior and when you add AI on top of that, it gets complex very quickly. This randomness means your test plans can't cover as much of the testing, and you have to rely on more ad hoc methods. This leads to longer test cycles and more stress :) still, some games are easier to test than others. I find adventure games are easier than most, and games that have both other players and AI are the hardest.
I would also add compliance testing to your list. There are many TRCs/TCRs/LotChecks/User Interface Guidelines that have to be met in order for your game to see the light of day.
Good luck with your game testing :) let us know how it goes!
|Johan Hoberg
Thank you for the comment :)
Don't you think that game testers should be involved even before alpha/pre-alpha? You could have game testers testing features as soon as they are ready at a very early stage as well? Even be part of the requirements process to make sure the games are testable in a good way, and such.
I agree with you that the types of test you mentioned are very difficult to test, and should not be done without someone explicitly asking you to do so. As you say - stepping on toes. Creating a bug report about something not being fun or emotional can cause more harm than good in some instances, especially if you do not have the knowledge or experience to do the assessment. However I am guessing that games need to go through this kind of testing at some stage, even if the tests are not being done by actual game testers? Someone needs to try the game and assess if it is fun or not? If the music is emotional or not? Maybe someone who didn't actually design or compose that specific part of the game or piece of music? It might be that the domain knowledge required to do the tests is not something that the game testers possess and that it is actually some game designer or music composer who perform the tests?
Compliance tests are indeed relevant in gaming, but there are compliance tests for almost every field of software testing. Is there something unique about compliance tests for games?
Multiplayer and AI definitely seem to add a lot of complexity to games, so from an outside perspective they seem to require more/smarter testing than games which lack these features.
Interesting comment about randomness in game. I will think some more about that.
Thank you again for the comment.

P.S. none of my questions in this comment are rhetorical, so if you have time, please comment again :)

"What is the major difference between testing an application or a software system compared to testing a game?"
One pays a living wage a person can live on and start a family with, the other one usually does not?
But in all seriousness, the real challenge to the average tester and QA Engineer in the Video Game industry is the creativity required to find major blockers as well as the numerous edge cases that can pop-up in any project. In industries such as E-commerce, Consumer Electronics, Broadcast Media, and Web App Development - the bugs can still be hard to find at times but not to the level of some of the serious edge cases I have seen while I was working in games QA. Many bugs in other industries can be found more easily via established manual test cases and feature suites, whereas in games there are so many possible factors and scenarios to be considered that to craft a full and comprehensive test plan for a project would be inefficient.
|Johan Hoberg
Great comments! Thank you.
|Olli Alatalo
I've been working on my thesis about games for some time now, and this is one on-going theme that keeps popping up: What's the difference between traditional software engineering and game development.
I think you hit the spot pretty neatly, although I failed to see how Multiplayer testing differs from other high intensity network applications, say Live Streaming services or Ebay.
I have never worked on projects with large teams (my teams have always been less than 10 people), but I feel that rather than having separate QA team, it would be more beneficial to have designers & developers educated in QA matters. As certain speaker at a scrum conference put it: "Whenever you find a bug, don't write it down, fix it."

Threat Description
NOTE: A new variant, Doomjuice.B has been found. See:http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/doomjuiceb.shtml
Doomjuice worm, also known as Mydoom.C, was found on February 9th, 2004. It infects machines which are already infected by Mydoom.A. It does not spread over email at all.
Doomjuice worm does not attack sco.com but it tries to perform a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack on microsoft.com.
F-Secure monitors the ongoing Mydoom-related attacks in our Weblog:http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/
Automatic action
Once detected, the F-Secure security product will automatically disinfect the suspect file by either deleting it or renaming it.
You may wish to refer to the Support Community for further assistance. You also may also refer to General Removal Instructions for a general guide on alternative disinfection actions.
Technical Details
Network Propagation
Doomjuice spreads between computers that are already infected with the Mydoom.A worm. It uses the backdoor installed by Mydoom.A. To locate machines with the backdoor open, Doomjuice scans random IP addresses by trying to connect to TCP port 3127. If the port is open the worm sends itself in a specially crafted package that makes the Mydoom.A infected machine to execute the file thus infecting it with Doomjuice too.
System Infection
After entering the system Doomjuice copies itself to the Windows System Directory as 'intrenat.exe'. The copy is added to the registry as
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Gremlin
- HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Gremlin
Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack
After the 8th of February the starts a DDoS attack against www.microsoft.com. Between 8th and 12th of February the worm will wait for up to 365 seconds. After the 12th it will start the attack right away.
In order to overload www.microsoft.com the worm starts 16-96 parallel threads that connect to the web site and try to download the main page in an infinite loop.
One of Doomjuice's payloads is that it drops the source code of Mydoom.A in a bzip2 compressed TAR archive. The file is dropped the root of all hard drives and the user's profile directory as 'sync-src-1.00.tbz'.

I am building my first mash tun and I was told by someone that I would also need to stuff additional filtering material inside the ss mesh to filter out the grist. My understanding is that the vorlauf would take care of the first bits of grist and then it would run clear. In case it helps, I ordered the ss mesh tube from bargainfittings.com since I was ordering my ball valve kit from there too. I am planning on just connecting this mesh tube up to the coupler inside my 10gal rubbermaid cooler and going to town. Anything I am missing?
Here is my SS screen.
I have used just that and it works great. Collect the first runnings as it will have a bit of junk in it but it clears up really quickly.
Although now I throw cheese cloth on top of it and I dont have to collect anything because it starts off super clean.
Regardless iv had great luck with it.
BTW I doubled up the SS mesh as mine was not super super fine. Then I cut fuel line down one side and wrapped it around the edges. Fits like a glove with a little trimming.
The SS mesh tube will work fine by itself. I've never had a bit of trouble getting clear runnings using this method.
Thanks for posting your method - I'll lay down a paint strainer bag over my copper manfold next time I mash.
I would be a bit concerned about the fuel line tubing - not exactly food grade stuff, is it. Might regular tubing from the Home Brew store work instead?

I. Introduction
Social Neuroscience:
The Search for the Social Brain
Ian Morton, 2007
We concluded the semester with the idea that the I-function, our self-consciousness, is a story-teller, which makes a best attempt to contextualize, temporalize and generally make "sense" of input to the nervous system. With this notion in mind, I was curious if we should therefore assume that language, an innate aspect of "story telling," is necessary for self-consciousness. Or can we create a "story" of our environment and our place in it without language? In order to approach this question, we should examine the development of both language and self-consciousness. Through examining these developmental processes, can we find and correlative relationship between language and self-consciousness? Even before we analyze the relationship between the two, we must first define what is meant by self-consciousness. There are many concepts of what self-consciousness is, including the "I-function" storyteller, and which concept one believes to be true has implications on the prerequisite of language.
Previously consciousness has been a concept to which only philosophers, and later psychologists, have aspired to describing. However, it is now believed that neuroscience may offer a means for reaching a better understanding of consciousness, including locating a neurological correlate of consciousness (5). The phenomenon known as "blindsight" has given rise to several rounds of research that have produced multiple theories pertaining to visual consciousness, the consequences of which force one to question previous notions of awareness, experience and the mind-body relationship. This paper begins to examine some of the major theories that have emerged from studies of blindsight and discuss their implications on our previous notions of consciousness, including as it relates to Aristotle's notion of the soul. Within this subject, there are yet to be any truths to conclude. Consequently the goal of this paper is not to innumerate truth, but instead to provoke thought about everyday experiences of consciousness.
What makes us human? Humans possess the capacity for language, empathy, internal dialogue and emotions. However, before we were capable of such characteristics, we first needed to develop consciousness. It is consciousness that establishes our understanding of self and other. Here then, with the emergence of consciousness is the birth of subjectivity within a complex social network. So what then allows us to possess a consciousness? While the neural basis of consciousness remains a mystery, resent research has uncovered two classes of cells that could play major roles in organizing our capacity for social interactions. It seems that spindle neurons and mirror neurons could be responsible for separating us from the rest of the animal kingdom.
Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)

Sumeet Sachdev likes playing grey characters
TV actor Sumeet Sachdev, best remembered for playing Gautam Virani aka Gomzy in hit show "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", will be seen on the small screen after four years with "Yeh Hai Aashiqui".
Sumeet will be seen in the role of Aseem Sen in "Yeh Hai Aashiqui", which airs on Bindass.
"Predominantly, the roles that I have done have been more towards the grey shade people. I like to be cast like a grey shade person, who in the long run may become alright, but the stepping stone is always the bad guy," said Sumeet.
While talking about his character in "Yeh Hai Aashiqui", Sumeet added: "I have never done romance, so Aseem's character in 'Yeh Hai Aashiqui' was a bit challenging for me."
Known for his versatility, the TV actor also ventured in direction. He made his directorial debut in the short film "Rehman Saheb Ko Phone Karna Hai".
The episodic show deals with love and relationships, and the episode featuring Sumeet chronicles the story of a student Rhea essayed by Anupriya Goenka who falls in love with her professor, Aseem Sen.
