REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/15/12 -- Storm8, the mobile social gaming leader, today announced that its total number of downloads has surpassed 400 million, underpinning the company's continued upward business trajectory. To mark the milestone, Storm8 also announced the worldwide availability of Jewel Mania, the latest free-to-play title from its TeamLava brand and follow up to hit social arcade game Bubble Mania. Jewel Mania provides a fresh new twist to a classic match-3 game.
"Bubble Mania's success contributed to what has already been a record-setting year for Storm8 and allowed us to surpass 400 million game downloads. Our mobile gaming network is now growing at the fastest rate we've ever seen in our company's history," said CEO Perry Tam. "The huge interest we received for Bubble Mania signaled a growing appetite for social arcade games, which is why we're doubling down on this genre with Jewel Mania."
The new milestone and Jewel Mania's launch come on the heels of Storm8's highly successful foray into the mobile social arcade genre last summer with its social bubble shooter game Bubble Mania reaching one million downloads in just 3 days. Bubble Mania remains on the top 25 grossing apps list in the App Store.
"Our ability to consistently expand into different genres quickly is the core part of the Storm8 DNA," adds Tam. "We achieve this by hiring smart team members who are adaptive to a fast-paced and dynamic environment. From MMORPGs to simulation games, and now social arcade, we deliver the highest quality games in every category and tie in a strong social component that our users enjoy."
Jewel Mania takes gamers on an adventure through an exciting world of puzzles, offering arcade-like features with a unique storyline to create a whole new level of social engagement not available in match-3 games today. Using Facebook Connect, Jewel Mania allows players to compete with friends by sharing and publishing high scores and achievements on their newsfeeds. Other Jewel Mania features include:
- 60+ levels of gem-matching puzzles with 3 different game models
- State-of-the-art puzzles and animation
- Tricky obstacles like walls, pitfalls and puzzling portals that make the game more challenging
- FREE updates with new puzzles, boosts and more
Jewel Mania is available to download from the App Store at https://itunes.apple.com/app/id561326449.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

A Glimpse into Electronics Potting
In manufacturing electronic products, potting is a term that refers to the filling of a complete electronic assembly using a chemical compound with the aim of reducing shock, vibration, and exposure to moisture and other agents that may cause corrosion. Usually, thermo-setting plastic and rubber gels made of silicon are utilized for this purpose.
Majority of circuit board assembly accommodates coat assemblies that have a single transparent conformal coating instead of potting. Conformal coating delivers most benefits of potting, plus it is lighter and simpler to test and repair, as well to inspect.
Potting a surface-mounted circuit board makes use of silicone, epoxy, urethane or other low glass transition temperature (Tg) potting compounds. This has something to do with the fact that high Tg potting compounds are able to loosen solder bonds while they contract and harden in low temperatures.
The 10 Best Resources For Devices
Integrated Circuit Packaging
The Ultimate Guide to Solutions
In electronics manufacturing, integrated circuit packaging is the endpoint of semiconductor device fabrication. That's when the cluster of semiconducting material is wrapped in a case that serves to shield it from corrosive and other damaging agents. This case is called a "package" which protects the electrical contacts between the device and a circuit board.
Other names by which it is referred to in the integrated circuit industry, include semiconductor device assembly, packaging, assembly, seal or encapsulation. What comes next to the packaging stage is testing of the integrated circuit.
Sometimes, either of these terms is interchanged with electronic packaging, which actually involves mounting and linking of integrated circuits and the rest of the components into printed circuit boards.
Resin Dispensing System
The technical installation for the processing of casting resin is known as the resin dispensing system, whose objective is to fill and seal technical parts, and then cover them. This is especially done in the area of electricity and electronics, such as LCDs, transformers, and the like. An increasing number of parts are sealed by casting, as this hastens the production process and boosts the longevity and performance of the parts. Sealed parts, however, could not be repaired.
There are multiple applications of the process on top of the sealing of electronic parts. For instance, it is also utilized in the process of producing LEDs. Light-emitting diodes are made in completely automated lines, and a section of it is the dispensing in clear plastics. To reduce the price of these lights, short working cycles are very important. In terms of electric motors and transformers, several layers of fine copper windings are basic. They are often soaked in resin today to shield them from environmental factors and to enhance internal insulation.
Because the process is messy and has some problems associated with it, some do not use potting. But this perception is often only due to picking the wrong potting compound, a poor manufacturing process design or a sheer lack of knowledge of one's options.by

Dragonstar is a futuristic magic-meets-machine campaign setting created by Fantasy Flight Games for Wizards of the Coast's D20 role-playing game system.
Dragonstar was the first Fantasy Flight Games d20 setting, a space opera science fiction fantasy. FFG published a half-dozen books in this setting from 2001-2004.[1]
The setting describes a galaxy under the dominion of the Dragon Empire. The Dragon Empire is a huge bureaucracy, ruled over by the ten houses of dragons, five chromatic and five metallic. The Empire is led by Mezzenbone, a red dragon of immense might and evil disposition, who sometimes travels on board The Maleficent, one of the few remaining immense Dreadnought class warship spacecraft.
Across the galaxy, the same fantasy races are found to inhabit countless worlds, sometimes living in great technological civilizations or magically advanced medieval cultures. When the inhabitants of many of these worlds took to the stars, by magic, machine, or a combination of both, they were amazed by their similarities; including close similarities in their languages. Scientists and archmages alike tried to come up with a logical explanation to no avail. Eventually, a prominent religious leader proposed a theory: all the gods of every religion were the same, just different aspects of the twelve "True Gods". These aspects were the 12 "Deitypes", short for Deity Archetypes. Deitypes are basic, primordial, archetypal icons such as The Father, The Mother, The Magus, The Smith, The Destroyer, The Trickster, and so on. Some deities had elements of two or more of the Deitypes. These 12 universal Deitypes seeded similarities all across the life supporting worlds of the galaxy. This theory led to a new religion that formed the basis of an emerging unified interstellar culture. The dragons eventually rose to dominate and unite this culture under a single massive Dragon Empire, which rules all of known inhabited space. The dragons would assimilate newly discovered inhabited planets along the edge of the Empire, also known as the Outlands.
The Dragonstar setting can easily combine preexisting Dungeons & Dragons and other D20 material and settings. A PC group can be made up of character races and classes in any combination and be rationally integrated with little work. It is similar to the classic Spelljammer setting by TSR, although Dragonstar is more of a science fantasy and space opera blend. A basic premise of the setting is that advanced technology is sufficient to handle most tasks, but things that are considered impossible by our current understanding of physics, such as faster-than-light travel between stars, force-fields, and teleportation, are accomplished with magic. Characters use a combination of technology, conventional weaponry, and magic in combat.
Current Status[edit]
The game was first announced on the Fantasy Flight website on December 5, 2001. Sometime between 2007 and 2008, the company decided to end support for the game. By the end of 2008, the game support page was removed. FFG has made no further product announcements on the game since.
Published Products[edit]
The following products were published for the Dragonstar campaign setting:
- DS01 Starfarer's Handbook
- DS02 Guide to the Galaxy
- DS03 Imperial Supply
- DS04 Player's Companion
- DS05 Galactic Races
- DS06 Smuggler's Run

AOL Continues To Block OS X, Fire Users
AOL Continues To Block OS X, Fire Users
by , 12:30 PM EST, March 27th, 2001
Since the release of OS X Public Beta last September, OS X users having been flocking by the thousands to a little OS X native instant messaging application called Fire. VersionTracker alone lists the number of Fire downloads at over 30, 000, and that does not include people getting the program from other sources.
Fire, in its latest incarnation, supports IM protocols for six services, including AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, and MSN. However, the AOL people seem none too pleased by the program's popularity. With the official release of OS X, Fire received a major upgrade. However, Fire users were blocked from logging on to the AOL servers later that day. Fire's author, Eric Peyton, updated the program to work around the AOL block, but the good folks at AOL again managed to block Fire access yesterday morning. With due diligence, Mr. Peyton again upgraded Fire, and AOL has again blocked Fire users from using the AIM service.
Why would AOL do this? The main reason is rather obvious. AOL versions of the AIM client show users advertisements the entire time that the AIM client is open. Fire does not show these ads, so one could assume that AOL is losing revenue from the absent ads. While this is a totally fair, totally rational assessment of the situation, OS X users currently have few other options.
Depending on who you believe, AOL is working on either a Cocoa or Carbon version of their AIM client for OS X. While it may indeed be a work in progress, there is no "Authorized" native OS X version available. Of course, users can always run the OS 9 version of AIM under OS X's Classic environment, but for OS X users longing to make the switch that option defeats the purpose. Beyond that, the OS 9 version of AIM is one of the more unstable pieces of software one will find in mass circulation.
Hopefully we will see a resolution to this issue soon. Mr. Peyton can only update the application so often, as he is offering this brilliant piece of software for free. It does appear, however, that until AOL finally releases an OS X native version, users of Apple's latest OS offering are going to be left in the dark.
You can find more information about Fire at Eric Peyton's Web site.
The Mac Observer Spin:All AOL is accomplishing by this latest move is to upset and alienate a large number of Mac OS X users. If they were offering their own OS X ready AIM client, their actions would be slightly more understandable.
Along those same lines, if Mr. Peyton was using Fire to generate revenue, AOL would also have a more ligitimate reason for blocking Fire access. However, neither of these situations is the case, and it is leaving Mac OS X users with no native client for Apple's crown jewel of an OS.

LO had just been falling asleep whenever he wanted. The last two days have been different. He was fussing like crazy and I knew he was fed, changed and didn't seem to have gas. So I swaddled him and walked around a bit and he was asleep relatively quickly. This has been happening the last two days (twice a day). Should I be consciously putting LO down for naps? Do you?
Do you put LO down to nap during the day?
Posted 07/10/2013
Posted 07/10/2013
Not usually because I want to nap too :). But that's when its just us. When my 3yo is home I have too and he doesn't sleep as long. I'm more laid back this time. He is my last and I only have so long before back to work so I love the cuddles. But you lo may be telling you what he wants so follow his cues!
Posted 07/10/2013
Well, idk if its really considered "naps". Newborns sleep a lot but they start staying awake a little more and need help falling asleep when they get tired again, which is pretty quick at this point. My daughter is 3 weeks and is doing this. She will stay awake after 2-3 feedings and after about 15-20 mins she starts getting pretty fussy and I have to work to get her to fall asleep again. She is fed, changed, and then I swaddle her and rock/bounce her to go back to sleep.

My LO is 5 weeks and not on a schedule per say, but a 3 hour routine. Eat, awake time, sleep. I notice she can only stay awake for about an hour or so at a time before getting fussy. So, if I look at the time and its been an hour, I swaddle her, give her the pacifier, and rock her. She's out pretty quickly and I usually put her down in her car seat or her pack n play. It gives me a little time to spend one on one with my 5 year old DD.

Emma Lavelle believes mudlover Highland Lodge could be the ideal type for races such as the Coral Welsh National following his all-the-way win at Cheltenham.
Lavelle fells the young stayer, third behind Harry Topper at Newbury on his previous start, was seen in his true colours when making all to slam Our Father by 22 lengths over three miles one and a half furlongs on testing ground.
"He wants soft ground, it wasn't soft enough for him at Newbury and that's why he was made out to be a bit of a handicapper after that," said the Andover handler.
"He needs proper soft ground and in reality he is going to be the sort of horse for a Welsh National one day. He's too young to be thinking about that yet, but maybe next year.
"He won't run on ground anything better than soft, he needs soft ground as he just grinds it out and he's a smashing jumper."
Lavelle, who celebrated her first four-timer on Saturday with winners at three tracks, is to give her Lingfield scorer Court In Motion a well-deserved break.
He is another smart novice in her care, as he displayed with a pillar-to-post victory over three miles by a length and three-quarters from Houblon Des Obeaux.
The trainer went on: "I get the impression that on very soft ground he's almost better over two and a half miles or two-mile-five. On good ground he needs the three miles, so it's very difficult to say.
"He is crying out for three miles when the ground is quicker, but he wouldn't get home over much more than three miles. In the meantime I'd say he'll be having a bit of a holiday."

Charity Fishing Day at Roger Daltrey's Lakedown Fishery
A charity fly fishing day is taking place at Lakedown Trout Fishery, East Sussex on Tuesday, 17 May 2013 in aid of The Children's Trust.
Anglers are invited to take part in the fishing, which will include a tag-team event, and the event is open to both experienced and novice fly anglers.
The 26 acre site of Lakedown Trout Fishery is owned by pop legend Roger Daltrey of The Who and provides four spring-fed lakes, where participants can fish and take part in competitions, including the heaviest catch.
The cost for a team of two is £170, or £85 per person and includes breakfast, lunch and drinks throughout the day. Tackle will be provided, if required, and a fish cleaning service is available an additional fee.
To join up, visit: www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/flyfishing or for further information email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Money raised from the event will benefit The Children's Trust, a national charity which provides care for some of the UKs most disabled children and rehabilitation to children with an acquired brain injury.

Carlton Robinson, senior director for the chamber's entrepreneurial growth division, noted that since Crenshaw took office, the number of small businesses has grown from about 65,000 in 2000 to 130,000 in 2014.
Janice Donaldson, who heads up the Small Business Development Center at the University of North Florida, said those improvements have come from Crenshaw asking tough questions of organizations like the one she runs.
"When we go to see him he says, 'OK, I'm putting some federal dollars into your program, where else are you getting money?'" Donaldson recalled. "Then he asks us, 'What's your ROI?'"

Toronto: 'The Station' is Austria's Answer to 'The Thing'
The movie hails from Marvin Kren, who previously directed the zombie-like thriller "Rammbock."
It's not every day an older woman walks out onto a stage and does the splits, but then again, this was a Midnight Madness screening, the Toronto sidebar celebrating horror, sci-fi and action movies.
The world premiere of The Station was the first time an Austrian film was showcased for the popular sidebar. But even though it was Austrian, there was a touch of the familiar to the movie, which centers on scientists at a research station in the Alps who encounter a unique and replicating organism in the glacier.
It was directed by Marvin Kren, who admitted classics such as John Carpenter's The Thing and Ridley Scott's Alien -- both of which set the bar for the "trapped in tight quarters with monsters" creature feature genre -- had influenced the film.
PHOTOS: The Scene at the Toronto Film Festival 2013
Kren was on stage for the post-screening talk and was joined by screenwriter Benjamin Hessler, producer Helmut Grasser and Brigitte Kren, his mother and the lady who did the splits.
Brigitte Kren proved to be an audience favorite, not just for the splits, but for playing an environmental minister visiting the station when things go to hell. The character has some great lines and earned her genre bona fides when she dispatched a mutant ibis in gruesome fashion, a sequence that elicited one of three loud bursts of applause throughout the screening.
Part of the movie's conceit is that the recession of glaciers, caused by global warming, creates or unveils new lifeforms. The movie was shot on an actual glacier in south Tyrol.
"It was an inspiration for us," Kren admitted. "A sad inspiration."
The movie may be called The Station, but the German title is Blutgletscher, whose direct translation is Blood Glacier. Kren and Midnight Madness program director Colin Geddes threw the titles to the audience, asking them which they preferred. With roaring approval, Blood Glacier was the clear-as-glacial-water winner.
"So world (sales) agents? What do we do now?" asked Kren coyly.

A magnetic patch made by Miko Marine AS of Norway has been used to seal a leak in the hull of the nuclear waste freighter Puma . The Danish-flagged ship was in danger of sinking on December 18 when it experienced a leak in its engine room while sailing south along the coast of Norway following its delivery of 333 tons of spent nuclear fuel to Murmansk.
The ship appealed to the Norwegian Coastguard for help and was allowed to anchor west of the island of Sørøya in the far north of Norway. An inspection by the Norwegian Coastal Administration vessel KV Farm revealed a burst valve on a pipe supplying sea water to the ship's sanitation system. The crew was unable to stop the flow of water into the engine room until the leak was sealed by a magnetic patch provided by the KV Farm. The Miko Patch immediately stopped the in-flow of water and enabled the Puma to be escorted to Hammerfest for permanent repair.
Packs of magnetic patches are carried aboard Norwegian Coastal Administration vessels so that they are available to make a repair with the minimum of delay. By re-ballasting the Puma it was possible to trim the ship to bring the leak above the water line. This enabled the patch to be applied without the use of divers and to be reinforced by powerful permanent magnets. After the30 nautical mile open sea voyage to Hammerfest the patch was still found to be secure and maintaining the seal.
The low cost of the patch was in marked contrast to the cost of the disaster that could have followed if the ship had sunk. Norwegian environmental groups are now accusing the ship of having sailed too close to the coast during its passage to Murmansk. They are using the incident to highlight the cost and severity of the disaster that would have occurred if the leak had happened a few days earlier when the magnetic patch might not have been available.
Commenting on the use of magnetic patches, Nicolai Michelsen, managing director of Oslo-based Miko Marine AS said; "Our products have been used to save ships and offshore platforms from sinking on numerous occasions. Afterwards people invariably remark upon the trivial cost of the patch compared with the costs of cleaning-up an environmental disaster that might have occurred if it had not been available. It is, however, vital for the patch to be applied quickly and the only way to guarantee this is if the ship has a Salvage Pack of its own patches on board," he said.
"Magnetic patches are carried by Norwegian Coastal Administration vessels and they are aboard every ship in the French navy but we believe that the time has come for legislation to make their carriage compulsory aboard certain types of vessel. Although it is obvious that I would want to encourage more patch sales, we have seen enough incidents to know that the benefits of their use go far beyond our commercial gain. Ships with a high potential for pollution and vessels operating in ice are obvious candidates for compulsory carriage but we also believe that the insurance industry should also be thinking about how it would benefit if it

Strange and Intricate Pinned Skin Collages by David Adey
Multimedia artist David Adey, whose wonderfully detailed art we first noticed over at Colossal, creates incredibly intricate collages from tiny pieces of printed skin cut out from the pages of magazines, pinning each fragment individually to his canvas. In some works, like the below image of David and Victoria Beckham, he reconstructs the original photo but turns the skin into a tapestry of whimsical shapes, creating a new kind of portrait. In his less figurative works, he creates large shapes and textures from hundreds and hundreds of individual pieces — as in "22 Footer," which looks like an enormous, coiled worm from far away, but at a closer look is revealed to be hundreds of cut out lips pinned together like scales. Click through to see some of our favorite of Adey's collage work, and then be sure to head over to his website for even more, or check out his current solo show at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. … Read More

NBCUniversal Hires Ex-Disney Exec Russell Hampton to Expand Franchise Opportunities
Former Disney Publishing Worldwide president Russell Hampton is headed to NBCUniversal.
Hampton has been hired to fill the newly created position of executive vp franchise management and global consumer products for NBCUniversal's Media Innovation and Cross Company Initiatives Group, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The group aims to monetize cross-platform content and creating a digital strategy across mobile, social and the web.
Hampton, who officially began Monday, reports to NBCUniversal executive vp Lauren Zalaznick, who oversees the group. He is responsible for developing a strategy around the company's licensing and merchandising efforts across NBCUniversal's film, theme parks, broadcast networks, cable channels and digital properties. Additionally, he will be responsible for identifying possible growth opportunities, namely the kids and families space, including driving digital product and IP development.
"Russell was a person we went after for this job. We certainly surveyed the landscape and looked for domain expertise, which is critical to the licensing and merchandising space particularly with a focus on families and kids," Zalaznick tells THR of Hampton's hire. "There's a combination in Russell of strategist and thinker and doer and operator, almost in equal measure, in the amount of time we've spent together talking and by virtue of what Russell has done."
"NBCUniversal has an amazing collection of assets," Hampton tells THR, citing properties like Top Chef, preschool channel Sprout and the Despicable Me franchise as prime examples. "The best way to monetize IP is creating mega-franchises, properties that can span multiple demographics."
Hampton believes the kids and families space remains a demographic ripe for expansion, though he wouldn't speak specifically to what his first projects would be. "Where there's a big opportunity here is to focus on the kids and family space because it's a very sophisticated market," he says. Hampton hopes to have initiatives in store within the next sixth months.
While at Disney Publishing Worldwide, he led the company . Prior to Disney Publishing Worldwide, Hampton also managed The baby Einstein Company and The Muppets brand. He joined Disney in 1995, and before then was at J.P. Morgan & Co.
Hampton has a Bachelors degrees in English and economics from Colgate University, as well as a Masters in business administration from Northwestern University.

I had the privilege of staying and meeting the new owners of this soon-to-be upscale chic hotel. I've been traveling to JA for the past 20 years and have stayed in various hotels and this is the first time I've ever met the owners of the resort. It's a family run hotel who are in the midst of renovating the resort into a 5-star hotel/spa with an asian theme. They own a successful hotel in St. Martin and plan to duplicate that sucess with this hotel. It's a short drive into town & to the airport.
The exterior of this hotel reminded me of an ancestral plantation. I stayed in one of the newly renovated guest rooms. Each room has a balcony and a phenominal view (see view photo). With furnishings from Thailand, you get the feel of what's to come. While there are still minor additons that need to be made (by that I mean artwork, accessories, etc), the rooms were clean and the staff were exceptionally helpful and accomodating.
The owners elaborated on what they wanted to do with the hotel and when their plans are carried out in detail, this will be one of the most elite hotels on the North coast of Jamaica. The owners are well known in Jamaica & are well traveled, so they know what luxuries people want & expect when they go to on vacation. This will be the place to find it.
