Marque Creative
Category: Designers/Studios,
Posted by: Rebecca Caputi
Location: New York
Posted: Jan 12th 2012
Marque is a branding design studio in the UK with a contemporary style. I love their designs because they are simple yet effective and have a very strong contemporary feel. In particular, their "Avenue 32" branding is a favorite - I love how they have turned a new logo into something that feels as though it has a lot of character, they have created something contemporary with a classic twist.

Mark Twain
The Mark Twain House & Museum, Via Associated Press
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, author of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," wrote under the pen name Mark Twain.
The novelist was also an itinerant printer, a travel correspondent, a Mississippi River pilot, a gold and silver miner, a laborer in a quartz mine, an inventor, a social critic, a lecturer and a journalist.
The author's wicked wit, enduring seductiveness and flat-out subversiveness continues to captivate audiences in each new generation. Clemens himself put it this way: ''My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine. Everybody drinks water.''
When he died on April 21, 1910, a New York Times editorial called him "the greatest American humorist of his age."

I was wondering if anyone else would like to share their favorite cinematic uses of stunts they've seen in game? I'll start us off with a few of my personal favorites from my current campaign.
1. A warrior NPC used Mighty Blow to punch a PC's shield into his face, breaking his nose.
2. A rogue PC used Mighty Blow, Skirmish, and Knock Prone to cause an enemy to stumble backwards a few feet, trip and crack his head on an exposed rock.
3. The previously mentioned sword-and-board PC used Knock Prone and Mighty Blow to shield bash an enemy in the knee cap and force him to the ground.
Anyway, those are my favorites so far, what have you guys got?

The decor of the Fletcher Hotel can be described as warm and minimalist. Robert Kolenik capitalized on the round nature of the hotel's floor plan with futuristic interiors that look like somewhere the Jetsons would have stayed. The curves of the plan are even reflected in the shape of room centerpieces like the great piano, which sits in the Sky Restaurant. The piano is entirely made of sustainable materials, and the proceeds from its sale went to save animals that would have been hunted for their ivory!
Materials within the hotel were very thoughtfully chosen by Kolenik in order to be as environmentally responsible as possible. Eco-board, which is made from agricultural waste, is used for the frames for the couches throughout the hotel. The down comforters in the bedrooms incorporate feathers from organic chickens. The pillows are even filled with soy-based material.
The modernity of Kolenik's "Eco Chic" signature is something to be recognized. The Fletcher Hotel is a great example of how luxurious design can combine with eco-friendly initiatives in a way that does not compromise aesthetics.

Dear Gedule,
You are right. Unfortunately there are many empty office buildings in that area. Important to realize is that project like this are being developed long before crisis started. Besides that our company is not developing any real estate. We were asked to create an Eco Chic concept for this hotel, trying to keep the carbon footprint as low as possible, without loosing any esthetics or quality.
I agree with you that empty office should be fully used, concepts like Urban Farmers are great example of making usage of these situations.
Robert Kolenik
Gudule Martens March 27, 2013 at 1:01 pm
The choice to build from scratch when there are so much empty office buildings (within the area) isn't really sustainable no matter the material of the pillows.

Broadening Participation in Engineering
It is recommended that all potential investigators contact a cognizant program officer before submission through the Broadening Participation Opportunities Track or the Broadening Participation Strategy Track of this program description.
Apply to PD 14-7680 as follows:
For full proposals submitted via FastLane:
standard Grant Proposal Guide proposal preparation guidelines apply.
For full proposals submitted via Grants.gov:
the NSF Grants.gov Application Guide; A Guide for the Preparation and Submission of NSF Applications
via Grants.gov Guidelines applies.
(Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the
NSF website at: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=grantsgovguide)
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
The Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) Program is a Directorate-wide activity to support the development of a diverse and well-prepared workforce of engineering graduates, particularly those with advanced degrees. The BPE Program supports projects to engage and develop diverse teams that can offer unique perspectives and insights to challenges in engineering research and education. Throughout this program description, the term underrepresented groups will refer to and include the following: women, persons with disabilities, and ethnic/racial groups which are in the minority in engineering, specifically African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Pacific Islanders.
The 2010 Census provides a snapshot of the demographics for United States citizens. Hispanic Americans are at 16% of our population; African Americans constitute 13.6%; American Indians/Alaskan Natives represent 1.7%; and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are at 0.4%. In aggregate, racial/ethnic minorities make up 31.7% of the US population. According to data collected by the American Society for Engineering Education, in 2012, underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities earned only 12.6% of all bachelor's degrees, 7.9% of all master's degrees and 4.6% of all doctoral degrees in engineering across all 345 degree granting institutions. The diversity of engineering faculty ranks is significantly smaller, particularly as the rank increases. Underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities constitute 8.6% of all assistant professors, 8.7% of associate professors, and 5.8% of full professors.
In 2008, approximately 4.9% of all engineering undergraduates were persons with disabilities1. This demographic earned 1.7% of all engineering doctoral degrees granted in 2010; and, across all science, engineering and health teaching engineering faculty ranks, persons with disabilities make up 8.8%. Yet, persons with disabilities represent 19% of the US population.
For women, who comprise 50.8% of the U.S. population, their inclusion is more significant. Women earned 18.9%, 23.1% and 22.2% of all bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees respectively. However, they represent only 14.1% of all faculties.
As shown, the status of underrepresented groups within various levels of students and faculty fall far short of their level of representation in the general population. Despite earlier significant progress, these numbers have changed only marginally in the last decade. With the clear national focus and emphasis on the need to increase our engineering workforce, it is appropriate to consider how to effect a comprehensive change in diversity in these fields. By seeing problems in different ways, a diverse workforce can encourage innovation and scientific breakthroughs. The Directorate for Engineering (ENG) recognizes that broadening participation is a systemic issue, with a need for wide-ranging and comprehensive interventions at all levels of the educational system. In alignment with the goals of the Engineering Directorate (ENG) and with other programs in the Engineering Education and Centers Division, the BPE Program recognizes the importance of:
BPE project activities should be informed by the body of knowledge that surrounds these (and other) important research questions; and in turn add to that knowledge base.
The BPE Program has two synergistic elements:
1. The BPE Opportunity Track (BPE-OT) establishes mentoring, networking, and other career development opportunities for anyone intending to pursue or already employed as an early career engineering faculty member. BPE-OT allow them to engage with, learn from, and network with diverse individuals and groups in ways that will demonstrably enhance their long term career success. This track would include projects for developing graduate student pathways to the doctorate, and through that, to post-doctoral and faculty positions. The track is particularly interested in creating opportunities for groups typically underrepresented in engineering departments. Funds will be utilized primarily to seed new networking and mentoring opportunities rather than fund ongoing efforts; thus all projects are expected to develop a plan for sustainability independent of further NSF support.
2. BPE Strategy Track (BPE-ST) projects should explore, develop and implement research-based strategies that promote a more diverse engineering workforce. The overarching goal is to broaden participation of under-represented groups. These strategies should demonstrate strong evidence of sustainability, scalability, and wide applicability. A BPE-ST award should also seek to establish measureable success in more than one institution. Therefore, institutional partnerships are strongly encouraged with the objective being adaptation of the strategy across different institutional types. Encouragement of the partnerships among disparate institutions lends greater credibility to the adaptability of the strategy. This development of a networked adaptation community will ensure that the strategies demonstrate promise in dissimilar venues, supporting broader implementation beyond the initial institutional model.
Given the breadth of targeted groups (undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and faculty) it is expected that all institutions have at least one, if not more, targeted population group where they could propose a strategy for improving diversity. A successful proposal would therefore provide appropriate benchmark data to support selection of the targeted group with specific and appropriate objectives, demonstrate appropriate knowledge of the relevant literature on underrepresentation, and describe a clear strategy for improving representation. All funded projects should integrate assessment and evaluation protocols capable of measuring how well the stated objectives are achieved as part of the project management plans. The effectiveness of the proposed evaluation is one aspect of a project's intellectual merit. Similarly, there should be evidence of clear, measureable outcomes and consideration of how the strategy will work for disparate institutions.
BPE-ST accepts unsolicited proposals to support research projects that seek to create and study new models and innovations related to the participation and success of groups underrepresented in engineering undergraduate or graduate education, postdoctoral training, and academic engineering careers. The track is seeking larger scale investigations with a broad, systemic scope capable of initiating and sustaining substantial improvements in diversity. Proposals are sought from all eligible organizational types including educational institutions and organizations as well as professional and diversity organizations that seek to broaden participation. Competitive proposals should clearly demonstrate the ability to adapt the project to disparate institutions, facilitating the creation of a networked adaptation community.
Before submitting a proposal to either Track 1 or Track 2 of the BPE program, potential PIs are strongly encouraged to speak to a cognizant program officer to obtain guidance as to whether the ideas represented in the proposal align with the strategic goals of the Broadening Participation in Engineering program. It is strongly recommended that proposals be submitted to the Broadening Participation program, specifying the track of interest, no later than May 1, 2014.

F-22 Raptor
Sale Price: $109.95
To Order by Phone Call 1-800-933-6249
The F-22 model Raptor is the newest fighter aircraft of the United States Air Force (USAF). Originally an air superiority fighter for use against the Soviet Air Force, it is also capable of ground attack, electronic warfare and signals intelligence roles. The F-22fighter jet model is a combination of stealth, super-cruise, maneuverability, integrated avionics and improved supportability. It performs both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, making it vital to the USAF. The Raptor military model is capable of providing first-kill opportunities against threats. Its sophisticated aero-design, advanced flight controls, thrust vectoring and high thrust-to-weight ratio provide the capability to outmaneuver all current and projected aircraft. The Raptor aircraft model was intended to be the leading American advanced tactical fighter in the early part of the 21st century, the Raptor is the world's most expensive fighter to date.
The F-22 was born out of the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) demonstration and validation program to develop a next-generation air superiority fighter to counter emerging worldwide threats, including development and proliferation of Soviet-era Su-27 Flanker type aircraft. The F-22 model began in 1981, when the Air Force put out a requirement for a new air superiority fighter that would replace the capability of the F-15 Eagle, incorporating emerging technologies such as advanced alloys, fly-by-wire flight control systems and stealth technology. In October 1986, two contractor teams, Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics and Northrop/McDonnell Douglas, were selected to build prototypes. In August 1991, the fighter jet model F-22 won after a fly-off competition, Lockheed's YF-22 was declared the winner and the company was awarded the contract to produce the ATF.
Shop for the Raptor F 22 model for a fighter aircraft that has dominated the skies since the '80s.

War Is Not Peace
Page 2
Christa Hillstrom: People today might say that Latin America has changed and these corrupt dictatorships are no longer the norm. Is there any truth to WHINSEC's claim that it helps train police to fight crime and insurgency and promote democracy?
Father Roy Bourgeois: They have made cosmetic
changes, including the name, but this school is still about men with guns. What's
so clear to those of us who come from the military is that you do not learn
democracy in the military.
Christa Hillstrom: What about in Colombia, where you are focusing a lot of your current work? WHINSEC argues that the government needs a lot of help when it comes to combating drug cartels. Can the training be used for good?
Father Roy Bourgeois: I don't see how, with the corruption in the military and police we see in Colombia. It's common knowledge there that many are involved with the drug runners. I don't believe that the answer is to have the military fighting the drug war. It's not necessary in a democracy. In a country with such a sad military history, there's not trust between the people and military.
Christa Hillstrom: But now you speak of a great "sea change" across the continent.
Father Roy Bourgeois: Yes. In these countries that were brutalized—Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador—they're electing presidents who are more closely aligned with the poor. They're distancing themselves from their militaries and the U.S. as they build human rights and democracy.
So I'm feeling a lot of hope. What I see in these countries, as in the Middle East and Africa—and especially among the youth—is that you can only oppress people for so long. And they're going to say—Basta! Not anymore. Every country is unique, but there is always the point where they will say no.
Christa Hillstrom: You've said before that solidarity and compassion, not war, breed security. What can people in the U.S. learn from those Latin American social movements?
Father Roy Bourgeois: That we all have power. I'll never forget that in Bolivia, there was so much division in the beginning. There were so many parties representing workers, the campesinos, the factory workers, the tin miners ... they just couldn't get together. That was part of the government tactic there.
What happened is that, eventually, they started coming together, as they did in Libya and Egypt. The poor make up the majority of the country, and they started uniting their voices. They discovered that there's something for everyone to do.
Christa Hillstrom: Do you see this kind of shift happening in the U.S. as well? Are people finding their voices?
Father Roy Bourgeois: Well, it's a bigger challenge. There's a lot of apathy here. And so many distractions. In the barrio, it wasn't as difficult to talk about oppression.
But I do believe that, with our high unemployment and so many getting poorer, this is the climate for change. I have a good friend here in Georgia who's losing his house. He's lost his job, and he's very upset. There are tens and tens of thousands going through that experience.
I meet a lot of people who are searching for some kind of meaning and hope and peace in life. A lot of people feel despair from the economic situation. They're working two or three jobs, or they're unemployed.
Christa Hillstrom: You once connected the suffering of the Bolivian barrio to the havoc wrought in Vietnam. Do you recognize those same forces at work here?
Democracy Rising:
Latin America's marginalized are mobilizing and changing the face of their nations' politics.
From increasing national oil
profits to rethinking regional trade plans, they are empowering themselves and lessening their dependence on the U.S.
Father Roy Bourgeois: Yes. I live in a military town where about 30,000 soldiers are being trained to go off to war. They're young. The vast majority are right out of high school. I see myself in them.
Kids can't find jobs in their own communities when they leave high school. So where are they going? They're going to the military. Recruiters are sweet-talking them, telling them how they'll be able to go to college. They play down the fact that they might not be alive to spend the money.
All over this town there are young people, many of them minorities coming from poor schools, preparing for war.
Christa Hillstrom: Meanwhile, the nation is facing massive budget cuts that will be debilitating for a lot of people, making fewer and fewer options available outside of the military. What about WHINSEC's funding?
Father Roy Bourgeois: The budget is in the millions, which is a big issue in the midst of cuts in Georgia and around the country. While schools and health care and services for the the elderly are getting cut, we've got millions of dollars going into the training of thousands of foreign soldiers—and it's all paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
Christa Hillstrom: That's a lot to be angry about, especially for someone like you who's been witnessing injustice for decades. Don't you ever feel like hitting back?
Father Roy Bourgeois: When you see what we're really doing to the world, how many are being killed, and the people's money that foots the cost—I'm reminded how much you have to keep the anger in check. It can start consuming us, and when that happens we start to lose joy and hope.
What built our movement and other movements was that we have to also take care of ourselves. The struggle we're in is a marathon, not a sprint. We're in this for the long haul.
Christa Hillstrom: There are so many people who feel mired in rage right now, and it's a challenge to harness and channel that into something productive. Your movement, in a sense, has chosen civil disobedience as a tool. At one point, 2,000 of you crossed the line together at Fort Benning, and more than 300 of you have spent time in prison—you yourself for years altogether. What's so confrontational about disobedience?
Father Roy Bourgeois: Dr. King said that when you perform an act of civil disobedience, you expose injustice to the public. You call attention to something that's wrong when you protest, especially when you are arrested and go to prison.
When Rosa Parks said, No, I'm not going to the back of the bus ... well, that was an important moment. It just energized people. It caused people to say, wait a minute ... what's going on here?
In the early days of crossing the line, I remember old "Maximum Bob," a judge, sending people away to jail thinking he was going to stop the movement. He believed that others would not come back and cross the line. Well, he sent us to prison for six months or a year and a half. And what happened was that that brought even more people the next year.
Christa Hillstrom: Was there a Rosa Parks moment for you?
Father Roy Bourgeois: They actually have the actual bus Rosa Parks sat in in Birmingham. To be honest, going to the bus where she was arrested was my Rosa Parks moment. Really! I just felt: Wow. We can also do this. This is doable. And we can also do something to bring about peace.

Right-Wingers Who Think They Got 'Rolled' by Obama In Fiscal Cliff Deal Are Totally Crazy
Rep. Eric Cantor (R) arrives at the US Capitol on January 1, 2013 in Washington. The number two US House Republican emerged Tuesday as a key holdout against the fiscal cliff deal.
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
I thought that by this point, I was beyond the capacity to be shocked by the delusions held by the American Right. But my jaw dropped when I read that a number of high-profile conservatives are outraged about the fiscal slope deal, and believe they've been "rolled" by Obama. The very notion is wildly delusional.
First, consider the context. Despite the fact that big majorities of the population have consistently told pollsters that they want to see the "Bush tax cuts" end for the top 2 percent of households – and taxes kept low for the other 98 percent – it's been quite clear that the GOP's first priority has been to hang onto those cuts for the wealthiest Americans. And how have they done?
In 2008, Obama ran on letting the Bush cuts for high earners expire while protecting the middle class, and won a landslide victory over John McCain. But those rates for the top earners remained for the entirety of his first term, including the two years when Dems held both chambers of Congress.
Which brings us to 2012. Obama runs on the same promise again – let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2 percent expire, prevent a tax hike from hitting the other 98 percent. He defeated Mitt Romney decisively.
Two months later, we hit this contrived fiscal slope. And we started down it – at midnight on New Year's Eve, the Bush tax cuts finally expired.
Some progressives have argued that one of Obama's "wins" in the deal was breaking the Republican pledge never to raise taxes, ever. But because the Bush cuts expired a day before this deal was passed, that's not technically true. No Republicans had to vote for a tax increase, and Grover Norquist's pledge remains intact.
And the tax policy center has crunched the numbers on what are now the Obama tax cuts.
The deal made the Bush tax cuts permanent for 65 percent of households in the top 2 percent. They are now the baseline.
The cutoff for the estate tax increased from $1 to $5 million, and is now indexed for inflation. That's permanent.
And the very richest households' capital gains taxes were permanently cut from 35 percent to 20 percent.
As for the middle class and working poor, their modest share of the Bush tax cuts are now permanent as well, but because the Dems' payroll tax cut was allowed to expire, their taxes will nonetheless go up. And not by a little -- it'll "cost a typical worker about $1,000 a year, and two-earner family with six-figure incomes as much as $4,500," according to the Associated Press.
So, after Democrats won two elections promising to raise taxes on the top 2 percent while protecting the middle class, the fiscal slope resulted in the lion's share of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest becoming permanent, and taxes went up on the middle class.
Meanwhile, the deal created another contrived fiscal cliff – actually, a series of cliffs – in the next few months. First, the debt ceiling needs to be raised. Then, the deep "automatic" spending cuts known as the "sequester" kick in. Finally, at the end of March, the budget resolution that's been keeping the government running expires.
Obama says he refuses to negotiate on the debt limit, and that may be true, but that means little because of these other opportunities for the GOP to hold the economy hostage.
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell promised that he'd use that opportunity to extract concessions. "The moment that [Obama] and virtually every elected Democrat in Washington signed off on the terms of the current arrangement, it was the last word on taxes," he said. "That debate is over. Now the conversation turns to cutting spending.... And the upcoming debate on the debt limit is the perfect time to have that discussion."

Vietnam War
Photographic Print
By Horst Faas
Item #: 14625102334A
Size and print type
Ships in 1-2 days
The smoke of battle yields to the smoke of a cigarette in the tiny hands of a South Vietnamese boy, April 17, 1964. Such youngsters are the unwilling victims of the fierce struggle in the southeast Asian country. For this lad the fighting brought a cigarette from victorious government troops; for others it brought burned flesh or death.
This photographic print is digitally printed on archival quality paper with vivid color and exceptional detail, suitable for museum or gallery display.
