Symantec AntiVirus: "Error 1920". "The Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
Article:TECH103676 | | | Created: 2008-01-02 | | | Updated: 2010-01-05 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH103676 |
Why is an Error code 1920 produced during installation with Message – "Symantec AntiVirus failed to start."
The Symantec AntiVirus Service is dependent on "Symantec Settings Manager." It is the inability of this service to start that causes the complete installation of the product to fail.
Other possibilities are as follows:
- Incorrect Permissions set on the Registry Keys, or Software Restriction Policies set through GPO's for the Domain.
- The CustomSD entry flag (Event Log Security).
Below are three possible resolutions:
- Either a combination of, or any one of these resolutions may work.
- It is possible that all three Resolutions will need to be followed before the problem is corrected.
- Resolution 1
- Click Start
- Click Run.
- Type regedit
- Click OK.
- Navigate to the following subkeys:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
- For each of these keys, ensure that "Administrator", "Administrators" and "System" have Full Control.
- Go to Default Domain Controller Security Settings> Software Restriction Policies> Trusted publishers
- Change the settings from "Enterprise Administrators" to "End Users."
- This sets AuthenticodeFlags = 0 under the following registry locations.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher\Safer\AuthenticodeFlags
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher\Safer\AuthenticodeFlags
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\TrustedPublisher\Safer\AuthenticodeFlags
- This sets AuthenticodeFlags = 0 under the following registry locations.
- Perform the following: gpupdate /force, to force a refresh of the Group Policy on the AD Server.
Resolution 2
The Trusted Publishers Properties must have "Allow the following users to Select Trusted publishers" configured to "End Users." To change this setting follow the below steps:
- Resolution 3
If the CustomSD entry for the Application Eventlog has been modified, then the "Symantec Settings Manager" will not be able to read/write to that Application Eventlog.
Please read and follow the directions in the following Microsoft document to ensure that the CustomSD entry for the Application Eventlog is set to default:

Hello all, I am curious about species of bamboo that grow well in Utah, my favorite so far is the black bamboo. I have gone over budget on my gardening projects this year but I completely had my heart set on some bamboo. So here's my pitch: Strong, capable worker willing to help with any rhizome pruning. I am most interested in sizable cuttings of phyllostachys aureosulcata & phyllostachys nigra. If you have either variety and they are invading, I would like to help contain them for you and I'll even haul off the trimmings for free ;) Thanks -Chris |

To see; behold.And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he ESPIED his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us? ( Genesis 42:27-28 )
"Espy" in modern English means "to catch sight of," rather than "to explore secretly." the Revised Version (British and American) therefore retains it in Genesis 42:27, "He espied his money" (Hebrew ra'ah, "see"), while in Joshua 14:7 "espy out the land" (the King James Version) becomes "spy out the land." the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes "watch" for "espy" in Jeremiah 48:19, and "searched out" for "espied" in Ezekiel 20:6, with a gain in accuracy of rendering

Since childhood, I was a crazy fan of music due to which my only dream was to achieve name and fame in the music world. At the same time, I did not want to enter Hollywood, as I had a special craving for giving exclusive services to people by being near them.
A few years back I started taking interest in creating DJ mixes and that is what my passion is today! Prior to this, I had enough experience in singing at weddings since the age of 18, which earned me an esteemed place in the list of UK's most iconic wedding singers. The mix of singing experience and DJ interest finally made me a live music and DJ wedding entertainment package maker for weddings in the United Kingdom, fondly known as James Barlow.
My DJ Service
While I do not sing, I am the DJ to carry a massive song library so that you can easily make song requests either prior to or on your special day. In case of wireless signal at your venue, I can download the requests in case my library lacks it. The DJ sections for the occasion boast a mix of the best tunes from the last 40 years. This means you can soak and engage into any genre, ranging right from the 70's to Rock and latest pop melodies.
This extensive collection is the outcome of hard work of going through the best and most popular pop, chart, disco, soul, and love songs of the last four decades. My only aim is to ensure that every guest, regardless of the age, rock until drop.
Rather than pressing just the 'Play' button to dance with the preset tracks list, I mix a set of songs flawlessly, which are as per your preferences and requests as well as according to the mood and live atmosphere on the special night.
MY DJ Knacks
My knack to determine which tracks are to be played at what time keeps all guests dancing melodiously. The DJ session features only finest quality sound and lighting equipment encompassing the advanced DMX controlled LED expertise. This means hiring James as your DJ as well as singer eliminates the need to invest more in hiring a separate DJ, which is truly a bonus for small to medium-sized venues. Further, you and your guests can even enjoy the most melodious ambient background music while dining or drinking party at the reception, with the master in jazz, swing, and love songs.
The concentration on vocals in live performance certainly delivers the best sound possible. In most cases, a live band usually is susceptible to poor sounding until each team member is a fully groomed player. In case the latter is true, the sound will also be less versatile with several live instruments such as drums being unable to play at gentler volumes. Even the risk of inaccurate configuration of a larger and more complex PA system is always there in such cases.
However, all the above risks are eliminated in James' DJ arrangements. The use of backing tracks facilitates focus on getting optimal sound vocals, as the tracks are of supreme quality and present real musical players. No matter which of the wedding entertainment packages @ weddingsinger.uk.com you choose, James flawlessly recreate your favorite tunes at a fraction of the cost that live bands tends to charge.
All quality sound equipments are flexible enough to be customized as per the size and kind of your reception. The simple and yet effective setup can be put up in within an hour without any compromise with a clear, natural sound.

Sorrell says Publicis / Omnicom's 'merger of equals' is 'impossible'
Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of WPP, has called attempts by rival holding groups, Omnicom and Publicis Groupe to form a £23 bilion "merger of equals" "impossible".
Sorrell says Publicis / Omnicom's 'merger of equals' is 'impossible'
The chief executive still concedes the multi-market move to create the world's biggest marketing group is likely to be ratified, eventually, but said talk of it being "a merger of equals" is simply untrue.
"They talk about this being a merger of equals, which is technically impossible. From an accounting point of view, there has to be one company that takes over the other."
The commonly held belief that Publicis Groupe's merger with Omnicom will be completed by the third quarter of 2014, or even the fourth quarter, is also increasingly unlikely, according to WPP's chief executive.
Sorrell stressed the Publicis Groupe / Omnicom merger, led by chief executives Maurice Levy and John Wren respectively, still has "big hurdles to jump", and suggested the deal could go well into 2015.
He warned: "It is apparent in the last few weeks that there are significant structural issues [Wren and Levy] have to face in terms of the residence of their companies, the tax position of their companies and their ability to buy back stock."
Sorrell added the deal is also likely to be delayed by significant concerns being expressed by Chinese regulators regarding what will happen to the domestic advertising industry and the influence of foreign owners on domestic Chinese content.
Groups are the new full-service agencies
However, the significance of the role of the marketing holding group, a conglomerate of agency specialists, in today's climate was said to be of growing importance.
According to Sorrell, while the defining traits of individual agencies, "the agency brands", are important to the people who work in them, they are "no longer as important as they used to be to clients".
Noting last week's media wins for Vodafone, Marks & Spencer and Comparethemarket.com, Sorrell said: "It [client business] is increasingly becoming integrated. No agency brand has been able to scale the breadth of what you have to do. So the groups, whether WPP or the putative POG or IPG or Dentsu Aegis – they are the full-service agencies of the 21st Century."
Speaking at Newswork's Shift event, the 69-year-old leader went on to admit that "integration", particularly talent integration, is now the new challenge for WPP's new age of "horizontality".
"When you say 'build the brand', you have this dichotomy," he said. "You want strong brands, you want the best people running those brands, but at the same time you want them to work together.
"And the real problem is that good people are more difficult to manage than average people. Because good people are successful, and are opinionated as a result, and therefore difficult to get them to understand that they should listen."

New Summer Restaurant Week Showcases Colorado's Fresh Produce -- and Fresh Air
Denver Restaurant Week is about to begin -- and it's not February. Traditionally, this two-week showcase of Denver area restaurants has taken place after the winter holidays, but this year it's being split in two -- one week in the usual February slot, but now August gets a week too. The new Summer Restaurant Week, which starts August 23, celebrated last night with a festive launch party held at the Cable Center on the DU campus. Several participating chefs were on hand with samples of their new summer menus. At the event, we caught up with Rich Grant, Communications Director for Visit Denver, to explore what this chopped-up schedule means for restaurants and diners.Kevin Galaba Denver's Summer Restaurant Weeks kicks off August 23rd. Shown: Argyll's roasted summer squash.
See Also: Denver Restaurant Week Announcing Menus Today
Kevin Galaba Nine Denver chefs dished out sample of their upcoming menus at a Restaurant Week launch party last night on the DU campus.
"Look at the light, look at the outdoors," says Rich Grant, pointing to the setting sun. Surrounded by three stories of large glass windows in the Cable Center, it's easy to appreciate one of Colorado's best assets -- the outdoors -- and to get the point he's making: Why not hold restaurant week during the Summer, when the state is full of light and fresh produce is at its peak?
Denver's Restaurant Week, started ten years ago, featured 84 participating restaurants -- a number that has risen to over 200 this year. "When we had it for two weeks," Grant says, "it was the biggest restaurant week in the country. The feedback we were getting from everyone -- from customers and restaurants -- was to scale it back to one week in the winter and then try one week in the summer."
And it makes sense. Many restaurants have patios or rooftops that, when in use, add 50 to 60 percent more seats. But more importantly, it puts Colorado-grown food on the front burner.
"Colorado is now known for locally sourced food, and for our produce," Grant explains, referring to Olathe corn and peaches that are currently being harvested in Western Colorado. "We're going to have some really great things that you can only do in the summer. It's a great showcase for the state."
As communications director for Visit Denver, the organization that created Restaurant Week, Grant has seen this showcase evolve.
"I was in the room when we started Restaurant Week ten years ago. It was like a Continental Congress of restaurateurs -- Frank Bonanno was there, Yasu (Kizaki) from Sushi Den was there. We said, 'Let's try this.'"

Note-off velocity can best be used not to control a parameter

be the release time of an envelope that could control anything
you want. Or the attack time and/or amplitude of an envelope
that is triggered by the note-off, and that e.g. slightly
detunes a note during its release time. Aeolus has such a
'detune on release' (and also on attack) and it can completely
change the nature of a sound, even if very subtle.
In a mono synth the release velocity could just be stored
and used to modify the transition to the next note when
that arrives.
There are lots of other possibilities, but most that make
sense don't map to traditional voice parameters and would be
difficult to implement except on real modular synths or by
using tools like CSound or SuperCollider. Which is probably
why very few keyboards provide the information.

"YUM! I am a super huge fan of tortilla soup. This was my first attempt at making it, and it was GOOD! Even my husband, who is generally a "non-soup eater", enjoyed it. I used two really large tomatoes--I may use a little less next time. My husband and I also thought that we'd add some corn next time too. Thanks for sharing!!!"
"I loved this crust! It was so easy to make. I used with the Apple Crumb Pie recipe (Recipe #43290), and it was delicious!!! We had it for our Thanksgiving dessert. Thanks for sharing!!!"
"Yummmmmm! I made this pie for our Thanksgiving dessert! So easy and delicous! The only thing I did differently was instead of using a premade pie crust, I made my own crust (super easy) using Recipe #97877--Cream Cheese Pastry Crust. I also used 1 tsp. of cinnamon as opposed to 1/2 tsp. Thanks for sharing!"
"This was yummy! We accidentally purchased pumpkin pie filling instead of plain pumpkin. Because of this, I omitted the water. I added a drop of pumpkin pie spice--not too much since the filling already had some in it. I also substituted 1/3 of the regular sugar with brown sugar. Lots of compliments on them!!! TFS! "
"I have to agree that this recipe seemed soooo simple. It was and it was still delicious! I read a previous post and decided to double the recipe for the sauce just in case. I too used regular salsa and added some fresh cilantro to the mix. I also cut up the chicken into smaller pieces which almost made it more "stewish". It was yummy! Defini..."
"We LOVED this recipe!!! The rice was REALLY yummy! The only thing I did differently was use light coconut milk instead of the regular coconut milk because of the difference in the amount of fat and calories. We also didn't have the garnish on hand, but it was great nevertheless. Thanks for sharing! "

Loading... If This Is a Man and The Truce (original 1947; edition 1991)by Primo Levi
Work detailsIf this is a man and The truce by Primo Levi (1947)
Compact | Rate recommendations Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Primo Levi was a 24 year old Italian Jew when he was sent to Auschwitz in February of 1944, with 650 other Italian Jews. He survived there for almost a year: in January of 1945, the camp was abandoned by the Germans, and shortly thereafter the Red Army liberated the camp. Only 20 others in his group survived with him. This book records his experiences in Auschwitz in clear, measured, and horrifyingly evocative prose. The camp was designed to grind all self-respect, all morality, all honor and all love out of its inmates. Amazingly, given the constant cruelty and deprivation to which the inmates were subjected, it did not always succeed. Levi survived because another man brought him soup every day, without thought of gain: Levi says of him "This was a man". So too was Levi, who retained the ability to think of others throughout his ordeal. This is a very hard book to read, but it should be read. It shows vividly what is worst about humanity, and also shows how goodness can -- occasionally -- survive that worst. I'm so glad I read this, and yet it's hard to say I "enjoyed" it, due to the subject matter, however, what I can say is this book is an important one to read, as it tells a different story from that which we usually hear about life and death in the concentration camps. Primo Levi survived 11 months and this book explains just what he had to do in order to survive, and his long journey home after the war had ended. I learned so much from reading this, which I believe was the author's intention. How could this be anything but harrowing? And yet the author has survived, kept some portion of humanity about him, the tiniest shred. Necessary. Primo Levi's, If This is a Man, is the chilling recount of a time spent as a Jewish prisoner of the Holocaust. Though each account is tragic and horrifically detailed, the novel is difficult to put down. The central theme is an exploration of human nature and how tragedy leads to "the demolition of a man." Levi's language is dense and at times difficult to understand, but the truth to his words is invaluable. If this is a man is a fascinating, yet harrowing book about life and death in Auschwitz. Writing with laser like precision, Levi lays out how it was without wallowing in emotion. Harrowing, yet very readable. The Truce describes his experience getting home from Auschwitz, much of the time spent in Russia awaiting evacuation. This book is less harrowing, but just as insightful. Many moments of amusement, some of which leaked out as stifled laughter on my train home. Levi's insightful thoughts and comments in the afterword (in which he answers many questions commonly posed to him by his readers) is well worth reading too. no reviews | add a review Contains
No descriptions found. Very heavy R/R. on remaining copies; the Truce is the story of Levi's 20 months in Auschwitz, now a major new film; the first is also a Holocaust memoir by the industrial chemist and author. (summary from another edition) |

This is excellent - play with your peaches - I've used this with Zone 9 USA peaches in the height of summer, sweeter but such an elegant flavour.
The only reason I wouldn't make this recipe again is because ... you can buy white peach puree in the grocery store! Save yourself lots of aggravation and just pick some up. :)

When selling, one has to decide: one buyer or 100?
Blog Entry:
April 10, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: CHARLIE CROWLEY
Charlie Crowley is a managing director at
Boenning & Scattergood
. His investment banking practice is focused on helping banks to raise capital and complete M&A transactions.
When we are discussing the sale of a company with a client, inevitably there is a discussion about the best approach.
Selling a company is different than selling a piece of real estate. If for some reason the sale doesn't take place (an unsatisfactory offer price, etc.), the CEO doesn't want employees, customers or shareholders to get rattled.
Because of that desire to keep things quiet, there may be a tendency to limit the prospective universe to one party, or to no more than a handful. The problem with that is that it tends to counteract the basic law of supply and demand. Presumably, the more buyers you solicit, the better the chances for a high price.
So the question is: one or 100? Well, it depends. You need good lawyers and investment bankers to guide you. Over the years, we have had deals in which all of the objectives (including a high sales price) were met by pursuing a negotiated deal with one particular party. We have had other situations in which we have gone to well more than 100 buyers or investors, which was necessary to get the deal done.
If you have a very attractive company and favorable market conditions, you may be able to focus narrowly on one particular buyer. That buyer can be given an opportunity for a preemptive strike (i.e., an attractive offer that will eliminate the seller's desire to shop). Sometimes it works out, and shareholders can receive a deal comparable to what they might have received by running a more extensive controlled auction process.
One advantage of this approach is confidentiality — there is certainly a lower possibility of "loose lips." Another possible advantage of this approach is that the seller may get favorable treatment on "social issues," such as a continuing role in the organization. There is always the implied possibility of going to a wider universe if the first party doesn't offer an adequate price. The seller is not giving up the right to shop more broadly until the definitive agreement is signed.
There are disadvantages to the negotiated deal approach.
You only sell your company once. Even if the first prospective buyer makes a great offer, you may have a nagging sense that you are leaving millions on the table by considering just one prospective buyer. Also, a public company would generally have a difficult time justifying the sale of the company to one buyer in an all-cash deal (ask your attorney about "Revlon duties," "go shop provisions," etc.). Finally, sometimes, negotiated deals can drag on endlessly. The parties feel that the buyer has the big checkbook and can dictate timing. Thus, sometimes the seller is forced to endure a frustrating waiting game.
Why shop more widely? Perhaps the seller is not concerned about confidentiality and just wants the best price. Perhaps the seller does not know if it wants to sell all or a part of the company. Therefore, it will want to talk to a number of strategic buyers as well as private equity buyers. Perhaps the seller is somewhat troubled and has a concern that there will be limited interest.
An advantage of a controlled auction process is that the seller gets to see market forces at work. Out of a universe of prospective buyers (whether 10 or 100), a subset will execute a confidentiality agreement and review additional information. Then a smaller number will submit an indication of interest, subject to due diligence. Following diligence, final bids are received. In the end, whether you are selling a company or selling consumer goods, the market price is what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller, and this sort of process tends to yield the best price.
As noted previously, you may not always want to go to a large universe. In many cases, though, the best chance of success is starting with a universe of prospective partners that your investment bankers and you believe to be viable candidates.
Some will take themselves out of the running, and you can subsequently remove others because of an inadequate price or other factors. No matter how many you start with, the goal is to get to one good buyer that can complete the deal you would like.

ASU makes list of most impressive new green buildings
PHOENIX -- Arizona State University is as dedicated to the environment as it is to its students.
According to Business Insider, the ASU Student Health Services Building has been voted one of the "11 Most Impressive New Green Buildings in the U.S.," making it the only building in Arizona to make the list.
[The] adaptive reuse project transformed an inefficient clinic into an organized and high-performing facility. The building is LEED Platinum-certified and one of the most energy-efficient buildings on campus.
The two-story clinic measures 34,000 square feet and cost $7.6 million to build. The main entrance faces the campus' Palm Walk, the main thoroughfare, and architects removed about 10,000 square feet of turf grass and replaced it with "native landscaping irrigated by rainwater harvested from the facility's roofs and stored in sub-grade cisterns," according to the American Institute of Architects.

How to Briefly Describe Amazing Things: A Recap of 30 Days of SRSI
We've been really lucky.
For a couple of years now, we've been able to do the work that we've wanted to do, make the kinds of changes that we want to see, and create a set of projects that have kept us interested in staying in Windsor.
The Storefront Residencies for Social Innovation wrapped up a couple weeks ago. For 30 days, we hosted 25 amazing artists and artist collectives, all of whom worked in downtown Windsor and generated a huge number of new ideas, initiatives, and relationships.
For 30 days, we were very, very lucky.
From June 11th to July 11th, we saw projects that redefined the idea of what BIAs could do, generated new models for micro-economies by exchanging food for stories, unravelled and reassembled long lost sweaters, and introduced an unprecedented level of investigation into the personal histories found in homes (and gardens) across the city.
Projects that openly played with urban infrastructures, investigated the potential for utilizing the postal service for remembering forgotten places, and made many, many, many kinds of maps will all have a lasting impact on the people who were lucky enough to encounter them.
Workshops for children and adults made real and impacting use of open spaces, stories around our border realities were eagerly shared, and many delicious pies, meals and snacks were collaboratively prepared and enjoyed over insightful conversations using fresh and local ingredients.
Installations lit up and animated storefronts, interrupted the social experience of public spaces, and imagined the collapse of municipalities generated a new way to look at materials and architecture.
Performative works demonstrated DIY surveillance methodologies, actively spent time in marginalized spaces, infused the local economy with gambling earnings from the casino, and generated a factory from social media technologies.
All of these things happened here in Windsor in just 30 days.
SRSI created a concentrated series of activities that demonstrated the potential in rethinking how we attribute value to space, changed how we might think about creative activity impacting a community, and looked at the possibility to forget about a set of economic development strategies that haven't worked for quite some time.
The things that we've felt about Windsor — its potential, its frustrations, and the novel possibility for generating creative work that can only happen here — were all reinforced through this residency project. We have to admit that we'll probably do it again, in some fashion, because we believe that the projects we saw unfold are only the beginning of the incredible things that can happen in this city.
We want to thank everyone who participated in this project — without you, this would not have been possible. Your work made an impact on us, and we might argue, the entire city. Thank you.
This project was generously supported by the City of Windsor: Cultural Affairs Office, Arts Council Windsor & Region, Windsor Pride, and the Ontario Arts Council.
SRSI, Day 30: Em's Little Book of Friendly Services
Over the weekend, Emily Colombo wrapped up Miss Em's Friendly Services with an awesome zine-like handout. Lots of food was prepared and shared.
SRSI, Day 29: It's The Last Friday
Friday was the last open house for SRSI. Norman Eberstein read some of his log entries written during his job, Emily made some amazing snacks for us, Kero busted out his Lemur, and Laura did another payphone intervention.
SRSI, Day 28: Speed Dating for Store Owners
Thursday was the Storefront Success Stories Speed Dating for Store Owners event down on Pelissier for SRSI, and Justin set up a window installation using the Arduino.
SRSI, Day 26 & 27: Hot Days Outside
SRSI participants hit the street today in the blistering heat to interact with passersby. Lee Rodney's Border Bookmobile gets re-routed, Emily Colombo serves up some lunch and fixes a few bikes. The Department of Unusual Certainties is working hard planning their Speed Dating for Store Owners event on Thursday, July 8 7pm inside of 406 Pelissier.
SRSI, Day 25: Bookmobile & Friendly Services
Monday saw the last new residents move in to the SRSI spaces; Lee Rodney's Bookmobile Reading Room and Emily Colombo's friendly services. To get footage for the SRSI documentary, Daragh followed Norman around, who was on his A game all day.
SRSI, Day 24: Imagination Lab & Disco Balls
424 Pelissier was a fun space for kids to be creative all day on Sunday as part of Imagination Lab. Merry Ellen set up her baking station over in that space. Later Sunday night, I accompanied Laura to do some more installations.
SRSI, Day 23: Payphone Interventions
Last night Laura went out to install some PL1999 payphones, Kyle Bishop of Andand Collective arrives, and Josh does some more inventions.
SRSI, Day 22: 67% Profit
Friday was Robin's big day, as she trained hard outside on the sidewalk then headed down to Caesars around 7pm.
SRSI : Non-Places Promo
Daragh Sankey has been working hard to release this promo video documenting Andrea Carvalho's three tactics to engage in non-places in the city of Windsor. Daragh is filming, logging and editing as much as he can during his residency, and will complete the post-production of the documentary later on this year.
This project is generously supported by the City of Windsor: Cultural Affairs Office, Arts Council Windsor & Region, Windsor Pride, and the Ontario Arts Council.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
19 I had no idea what was going on - naive as a lamb being led to slaughter! I didn't know they had it in for me, didn't know of their behind-the-scenes plots: "Let's get rid of the preacher. That will stop the sermons! Let's get rid of him for good. He won't be remembered for long." | 19 I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying, "Let us destroy the tree and its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more." |

The sad omission of Central American countries has skewed the results in my opinion.
So if you really believe you're going to Hell if you're bad, you're less likely to be bad.
Who'd have ever guessed that?
if you believe in heaven, most often than not you believe in the existence of hell... why subtract?
Okay so those countries in which more people believe in heaven than hell have more crime?? Interesting hypothesis. Personally I have a hard time understanding how unconditional love and forgiveness validates deviant behavior.
Low crime rate-(comparatively) high hell believing countries, what else do they share? Let's see, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, Russia, we can't see all of them, but it looks a lot like a list of repressive totalitarian regimes...
Why some countries with bad gini coefficient (Social Inequality) have less crimes than others (Such as Brunei for instance).
Answer: Conservative religions and fear of Hell.
The Rich are so keen on keeping their status quo unchallanged they even have no shame in advising unequal countries to make people fearful of hell and those superstitions in an article in the Economist.
Whoever is commenting here, please raise your intellectual level and go read the article before. Otherwise you are doing exactly what you seem to criticize. Again it's here: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.00390...
If you read the comments, you´ll see many people have had a look at it. Maybe you can explain why our criticism is misguided?
Oh dear oh dear... My theory is that the Economist keeps printing stuff about these worthless studies as part of an experiment of their own. Perhaps they're trying to find out if there's any link between publishing absolute guff and readership figures. No doubt as a result we can expect to see much more of this sort of thing in the future as the they discover that becoming just another red-top brings sales aplenty.
This chart fails face validity. Enough said.
This article appears to have been written by 2 muslims who seem intent on proving the superiority of Islam, even if it means fudging up data. Idiotic graph, shame on the economists falling standards.
Your point appears as biased as the data, but atleast seems to make a clearer point!
It would have been much helpful I believe to have used forms of prevailing (or dominant) norms as dependent variable rather than constructing such a macro-aggregate that really looks random at best. also, it may be standardised with respect to population, but until it is standardised by some ratio of actual to reported crimes, we may have very little to read into the counterfactuals thrown by these data.
Without having read the paper:
What exactly does this independent variable even measure?? "Optimistic faith"? How did they pick the sample? Doesn't the use of countries instead of individuals cause a certain risk of micro-macro-mistakes?
Well let's see. Belief in hell is extremely strong among today's U.S. Republicans. And yet, it doesn't seem to prevent them from lying.
This study is junk science at its best.
The only way you could determine a correlation between belief in heaven/hell and the tendency to commit crime would be to study actual criminals with a control group of law abiding citizens.
And there are sins (such as lying) for which one should enjoy fire and brimstone that are not necessarily illegal.
I thought The Economist was a reputable newspaper. What is this? Come on, I'm sure you can do better.
This article is less than s**t. I want to see the rate of crime among believers compared with the rate of crime among non-believers.
Then we can have both sides. How's that for an article?
I think this chart is logical. Those who believe in heaven are people who have some degree of repentance and believe in forgiveness whereas those who believe in hell do not believe in forgiveness and are more likely to go for hate crime and revenge and thus, more crime in hell believers.
please delete this post
Another day and another joke of an article in the Economist
is NO ONE going to go read the paper before they dissent and assume these are athiests trying to make a point?
Bit of a stretch to (and I'm just taking to randoms) say that Nigeria has a lower crime rate than Norway... And speaking about the other axis; wouldnt it have been more informative to just see the percentage of believers in Hell? I presume that Saudi, Pakistan, etc scored 100% on both Hell and Heaven, but there's no way to tell.
This seems quite obvious. One of the functions of religion seems to be providing metaphysical oversight. In a small community everyone knows everyone else's business.
Above the Dunbar number we start to have trouble keeping track. People do things we don't know about. At this point some god or other takes an overseer role and makes sure we reap the consequences of our actions - or in India you get a depersonalised version, ie. karma. They still have heaven and hell because any moral system bifurcates the afterlife into a place of punishment or reward.
What went wrong in the banks? Lack of oversight - a disconnection of actions from consequences!
An interesting twist to this is the role of handheld video cameras in bringing home consequences

I wondered how long it would take for someone to hack the Amazon Kindle in order to play games. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, the games don't look all that cool on that monochrome e-ink screen.
In this video, the Kindle plays Super Mario Bros and it's got no sound, it's slow, and it's only available in black and white. On top of that, it's also buggy and you can't control Mario all that well, but it's a start, I suppose.
This emulation was made possible by KLab, a Tokyo-based company. Tetris and Load Runner are also available.

Is this actually what the Kindle would do? Usually, the Kindle screen blurs when trying to do motion. Is that actually what the screen is showing?

From the streets of New York City to the townships of South Africa, the LGBT rights movement and its opposition are engaged in an unprecedented international battle. GlobalPost presents an ongoing series of reports from key locations at this pivotal time in history, telling highly personal, often overlooked stories from the fight.
A proposed national "gay propaganda" law threatens to silence a nascent LGBT movement.
MOSCOW, Russia — Tension hung thick in the air at a faux-Italian cafe at Sheremetyevo International Airport on a sunny February afternoon. Russia's highly contentious and best-known gay rights activist Nikolai Alekseyev sent out a final round of press releases on his МacBook as he sipped beer and munched on pizza.
"Eat, try to look normal," Alekseyev said to the three other activists with him, each nervously looking around. "There are police here."
Alekseyev, clad in a blue polo shirt and a yellow tie, paid the bill, and then along with the other members of gay rights organization Gay Russia marched to the Aeroflot Russian Airlines counter and placed leaflets that read, "Rejected by gays."
With GlobalPost present they unrolled a banner in support of a gay flight attendant the airline allegedly threatened to fire if he did not marry a woman. In another few minutes they would all be arrested, another brief spectacle put down by Russian police as a nascent equality movement challenges an increasingly hostile climate for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender (LGBTs).
In Russia, demonstrations in favor of equal rights for LGBT people are simply not permitted. The February airport arrest was unique because it did not result in any injuries for the Gay Russia activists. Usually pro-gay demonstrators are beaten and arrested within seconds of hoisting rainbow flags or unfurling banners.
"They are bringing back a law from the stone age."~Sergei Ilupin, activist
The city of Moscow has a longstanding ban on gay pride events and legislation recently passed in St. Petersburg would levy fines against "propaganda of homosexuality" in the presence of minors. The powerful Russian Orthodox Church is lobbying the Duma to make the law, which effectively bans public discussion of homosexuality, a national one.
As Vladimir Putin tightens his stranglehold on power in Russia, critics say the country is moving away from democratic ideals like free speech and back toward Soviet-era controls.
In February Daniel Baer, deputy assistant secretary for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor at the U.S. State Department called the situation for LGBT people in Russia "very difficult."
Aleksyev and his comrades know this very well.
Before the airport demonstration, Alekseyev and the others laid out a banner in a nearby snowy field that read "EQUAL RIGHTS FOR AEROFLOT GAYS!"
They burned green and pink smoke and waved to landing planes as temperatures dipped below zero Fahrenheit. The group was ready for arrest each time a car turned onto a road near the field.
Of course Alekseyev would have preferred to demonstrate in front of the Aeroflot offices on central Arbat Street in Moscow, but his request for a permit was denied. So he came up with another plan.
"You realize the situation of LGBT rights in Russia when you have to run around in knee-deep snow in sub-zero weather," Alekseyev said.
While gay marriage and anti-discrimination protections become a reality in an increasing number of places around the world, the LGBT struggle for equal rights in Russia is in its infancy.
Being openly gay in Russia's patriarchal society remains a big risk. Homophobic attacks are common and assailants often go unpunished. Many gays stay in the closet, and even get married to the opposite sex, for fear of losing jobs, friends or family. Russian LGBTs say the message they are receiving from both the state and the Russian Orthodox Church is simple: Homosexuality may be legal, but stay out of public life.
No official statistics exist on discrimination or hate crimes against LGBT people because they are not considered a protected social group in Russia. But the Russian LGBT Network has independently compiled extensive research from across the country in recent years with help from USAID.
One poll covering 44 Russian regions in March 2010 reported that 43 percent of Russians condemned gays and lesbians while another 20 percent found it difficult to answer.
In April 2010, the International LGBT Film Festival "Side by Side" was conducted in Novosibirsk, Russia's third most populated city. A public opinion poll of the city's inhabitants found that 22 percent regarded those with a "non-traditional sexual orientation" as "sick" while another 35 percent were indifferent providing that "they [LGBT people] do not make themselves known."
The Russian LGBT Network also interviewed users of a Russian website for gay men and found that almost 80 percent hide their sexuality from their employers and colleagues. If a potential employee were to openly announce a gay sexual orientation at a job interview, said Yuri Virovets, the president of Moscow staffing agency HeadHunter, he or she would likely not get the job.
Russian gays and lesbians are also more likely to experience aggression from police than heterosexuals. The result is that gays and lesbians usually do not go to the police in case of a hate crime, one of the organization's reports said.
In 2007 a man was stabbed to death outside of a gay club in Yekaterinburg, a city in Russia's Ural Mountains. The killers wrote "faggot" on the victim's chest in his blood. Police denied the homophobic details of the incident and the victim's family was unable to get information about the case. The defendants were given minimal sentences with chance of parole for good behavior.
A small core of activists led by Alekseyev emerged in 2005 to try and reclaim a place in open society, but so far they are largely outmatched. In order for LGBTs to legally attend demonstrations, the event must be coordinated by non-gay organizations, with the request carefully worded to reveal nothing about their participation.
Last May, an unsanctioned gay pride demonstration near Moscow's Red Square, organized by Alekseyev, and attended by prominent international LGBT activists including Americans Lt. Dan Choi and Andy Thayer, was heavily marred by violent clashes with Orthodox Christians, neo-Nazis and police, drawing international attention.
A middle-aged man who claimed to be an Orthodox Christian punched journalist Yelena Kostyuchenko, 24, a petite lesbian who slightly resembles Natalie Portman, in the head. She suffered a concussion and hearing problems as a result, she said.
Her attacker, who was captured on film, has not yet been convicted.

Eight years ago, sisters Karen Caplan and Jackie Caplan Wiggins were thinking of ways to honor their mother, Frieda, who founded Frieda's Inc. specialty produce company in 1962 in Los Angeles.
At the same time, the sisters wanted to recognize the family-owned business atmosphere in which they grew up as well as promote their passion for government advocacy in the fresh produce industry.
They took care of all three criteria with the establishment of the Frieda Rapoport Caplan Family Business Scholarship Program in 2001. The United Fresh Research & Education Foundation announced recently that it is taking applications for the 2009 scholarships, which will be awarded to up to four employees of family-owned United Fresh member businesses.
"We thought it was a fitting way to honor our mother, encourage family businesses and encourage people to get involved in the political process as it relates to the industry," said Jackie Caplan Wiggins, vice president and business development manager at Frieda's. "We just wanted to encourage others in family businesses to be a part of the industry."
Scholarship recipients receive airfare, hotel and registration to attend United's Washington Public Policy Conference Sept. 9-11 at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. The conference allows attendees opportunities to meet with produce leaders from all sectors as well as administration officials and congressional leaders.
"It really is an eye-opening experience," said Victoria Backer, United Fresh senior vice president of member services.
Gahl Crane of Prime Produce International LLC, Orange, Calif., and a 2008 scholarship recipient, confirmed Backer's claim.
"This scholarship program really opened my eyes to how critical it is for the produce industry to get involved and have a strong voice in Washington," Crane said in a United Fresh news release. "It's one thing to talk about issues impacting your business, but it's an entirely different game to meet with your members of congress to make sure your views are being heard."
Applications for the scholarship are at www.unitedfresh.org and must be received by July 24. Applications should be sent to the United Fresh Research & Education Foundation, attention Julie Jacocks. They can be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information, contact Backer at 202-303-3400, ext. 408.

Studio Modh has begun work on a new advanced technology learning space for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. The room, designed to house 90 students will incorporate the SCALE teaching concepts of learning while taking advantage of the dramatic, generous volume of the former library space.
Studio Modh will introduce careful, minimal marble detailing around the entrances to transition from the historic corridor detailing into the new classroom space.
With a long, narrow room - Studio Modh analyzed dozens of room and table configurations to maximize sight lines and collaboration. A new table configuration, not used at the University before, will rely on 12' long elliptical tables carefully spaced to facilitate view and interaction among students and the instructors.
The room shape is defined by its limitations. Projection distances, existing infrastructure, and the presence of grand south facing windows produced the canted ceiling shape concept.

Season greetings!
It's spring-cleaning time once again.
Dust has severely piled up and brand old mite is already lurking around.
That's the bad news. Good news are there are plans for this FluidSynth
gooey front-end, you know it's about Qsynth. Alas, plans are follow
today's "slip release" though.Finally, you may say. Not that there's any big (not even small) new
features being slung out today. In fact, there's just a lousy couple of
the same old crap. Never mind. Big plans are all about getting some
channel controllers--also known as generators--into the picture. Yes,
finally. It means amplitude, filter envelope generators, LFO modulators,
knobs and sliders gore fest and what not. I hear you thinking that's all
what a synth is about. And you're damn right. Dropping an initial,
"synth" has been in the name all this time hasn't it? Right, it has been
a pretty old plan, ever since early dawn. Well, it still is... a plan.As always, I won't make any promises, which would be a terrible thing to
do, specially from one who keeps calling himself the
"über-procrastinator". Yeah, I'm sure you know me from previous
auto-proclamations. Back to subject at hand, there it is.Qsynth 0.3.6 slipped away from the dust!
http://qsynth.sourceforge.netProject page:
- source tarball:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qsynth/qsynth-0.3.6.tar.gz- source package (openSUSE 11.4):
- binary packages (openSUSE 11.4):
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qsynth/qsynth-0.3.6-2.rncbc.suse114.x86...- binary packages (Windows):
- Main window layout fixing with regard to its user preferred size and
recall when system-tray icon is not enabled.
- Channels list preset items now activated on double-click.
- Desktop environment session shutdown (eg. logout) is now tapped for
graceful application exit, even though the main window is active
(visible) and minimizing to system tray is enabled. Both were causing
first shutdown/logout attempt to abort. Not anymore, hopefully ;).
- libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, as seen
necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian 6.
- General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
- CMake build system. It was silently available in 0.3.5, but now it is
officially unveiled.
- Fixed a couple of dangling pointers.
- Mac OSX: Enabled the MIDI name Id option for CoreMIDI driver ports,
added the icon to the app bundle.Weblog (upstream support, yours truly):
Qsynth is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.Cheers && Enjoy.

Location was great, M station and main shopping street is up right the corner.
Had to search side street for front door but great welcome on arrival. Very helpful. We had Penthouse, Apartment 5. Narrow enclosed circular stairs (100 exactly) to top floor - like climbing to top floor of church tower. Comfortable, over two floors, everything you need. Hairdryer in bathroom drawer. No views. If there was a fire, only exit over the roof tops 5 floors up!
Title Penthouse is misleading. Concern that only exit down 100 narrow steps. If fire on any floor below, no fire escape except if you are able to climb up onto the roof.
The front desk was so helpful!! The room was exactly what we needed for the night. Clean and great location near the metro and the Lourve!
The only downfall is the long climb up the stairs after a long day of site seeing.
Everything. Keeps you fit.
A lift would be handy, but conservation issues make it impossible
Staff is very helpful in orientating us the whereabouts on the first day.
Long flights of stairs to climb.
The flat was in a superb location near the Louvre. Heaps of excellent bars and restaurants in the area and easy walking distance to the key spots around the Louvre. The flat was spacious and well appointed - but honestly, the 5 flights of stairs were a challenge. The friendly welcome was genuine and the host could not have been more helpful.
We had heavy luggage and getting it up the 5 flights of narrow stairs was seriously hard. Honestly, without prejudice, if you are older, overweight or have any injury or disability it would be impossible - but we were on the 5th floor in the Penthouse. You would be better taking only the stuff you wanted upstairs and arranging for storage if it is a short stay. Having said that, the accommodation was v comfortable and good value for money. If you are young, fit and/or travelling light it is a good option.
Location location location. welcoming staff, clean apartment.
Hall and stairs needed painting very tatty. The hall also stunk of cigarettes. Tired apartment.
Location is very good
Cracked, chipped, dirty walls, filthy settee, chipped plates, broken cutlery, mouldy cupboard in the kitchenette, water stains on the ceiling
Central location. Well equipped apartment. Very helpful manager who went out of his way to make sure we had all the information we needed.
Great location, lots of room.
5 flights of stairs was a bit much.
Staff was very helpful and kind; location is excellent, just few minutes to Louvre and metro; quiet at night.
Apartments need refurbishment; broken glass fixed by tape; curtain need a good wash; electrical devices box full of spider webs. Very steep stairway not convenient for heavy luggage or people with reduced mobility.
The apartment is situated within close walking distance of many of the sites in Paris. There are also lovely shops and restaurants nearby. The staff were very helpful.
Location Staff helpfulness Comfy bed Big couches
Lots of stairs no lift
1.good location. Not more than 5mins from the Louvre an the Metro station. 2.Fine receptionist. the service man is very kind and helpful.3. the urban room has a good kitchen, we buy food from the supermarket nearby to prepare delicious Chinese food.
The stair is narrow, but the receptionist helps us to carry the luggages to our rooms.
Location, location, location. Shahib the manager of the apartments was extremely helpful & the apartment was cleaned & beds made daily. Our only problem was the big street lights outside which disturbed our sleep. Kitchen set up was great & we had a fantastic time. Would definitely return.
The street lights outside the window were overwhelming. Maybe they could invest in some heavy duty block out blinds.
Wonderful location and very nice apartment.
Stairs narrow and no lift, but reception staff carried our bags up and down.
The room is well furnished and newly decorated - and has all you need for a comfortable stay
Excellent and very helpful caretaker. Great location.
No lift...narrow flight of stairs. Difficult to carry luggage upstairs, though the caretaker was very helpful. Noisy bar downstairs, and a students hostel opposite. Too much old furniture clutter in the apt.
We loved the location - the apartments were very central and we could walk everywhere.
Location, room facilities and design and very kind and helpfull staff.
Street is sometimes noisy during the night (difficult to avoid in central Paris).
What a fabulous position! Only 5 min walk to the Louvre! Our host was so helpful - carrying our heavy bags up three flights of narrow, steep stairs! Wished we could stay longer. Don't be put off by the exterior or the look of the street.
Nothing - not being able to stay longer!
