THE revision by me of these topics, in contemplation two years since, when the fifth volume was submitted to the public, was found to be impracticable, owing to the accumulated labor arising from the condensations required of me. At my request, the subject has been investigated by Mr. Langdon, who has evinced therein a spirit of appreciation and research, resulting in a degree of success, believed not to have been previously attained in this department. Whatever may be advanced respecting the manners and character of the Indians, must necessarily be of subordinate importance to the details of their moral status. However much we may deplore the Indian's decadence, hope for his reformation, and desire his restoration to the family of civilized man, it is only by reference to moral data of the kind here exhibited, that we are able to understand truly, both what he now is, and what he is destined to be. Mr. Langdon's prominent activity in the vital cause of religious associations of the young men of the country, designated him as being eminently fitted for pursuing this investigation, and the results are presented in the peculiar form of tables, in which, by a coup d'oeil, the reader will be able to grasp all the facts, as detailed in Mr. Langdon's own words and mode of illustration. The following pages present a summary view of the efforts to civilize and evangelize the Indian which have been put forth by Christians of various creeds from the earliest days of North American colonization. While it is manifest that, whatever amount of time were devoted to the labor, any hope of rendering complete a statement of this kind must be disappointed, the few weeks which have been allowed for the present investigation and the varied and scattered sources from which information has of necessity been sought have confined the results attained to an approximation which, however far it may fall short of what may be desired and of what has been attempted, it is yet believed will be found more full and complete than any compilation which has heretofore been made, and will serve as a useful base for a future investigator. Deficient however as these pages may be and are in completeness, every effort has been made to attain accuracy; and it is believed that, if they contain errors, the fault lies with the authorities upon which reliance has been placed: and that therefore while they may often prove valueless as negative testimony, their positive evidence may be accepted with confidence. The following tables are restricted in their field to that part of North America at present possessed either by the United States or by Great Britain: and they present, the one, the comparative chronology; and the other, the statistics of the various missions within that field for nearly three hundred years. These are, in each case, grouped chronologically under the several organizations by which they were respectively established, or to which they owed a fostering care; these organizations being themselves arranged in the order of time in which they first took active part in this work although, in a few instances, this arrangement has been held subordinate to that of derivation. There are two CHRONOLOGICAL TABLES, of which the first embraces the missions of those organizations whose labors were confined to, or have extended from, the colonial period; the second, of those whose initial labors are within the national era. The heavy lines on the chart represent the organizations themselves; the lighter lines, their several missions: in either case, their lateral extent over the lines which mark each fifth year showing the period of the active occupancy of their respective fields. The vertical lines represent transference, or the migration either of missionaries, of tribes, or of both, as the case may be. The dotted lines represent the continuance of a mission under other auspices than those in question. Of the STATISTICAL TABLES, the one in like manner extends into the colonial, while the other is confined to the national era. The column of stations embraces "stations" and "out-stations" of all kinds; that of converts in no case, so far as known, embraces baptized infants; that of hearers is confined to the actual attendants upon public worship and the preaching of the gospel. The statistics of all abandoned missions are drawn, so far as possible, from the period of their best estate; those of existing missions, from the latest accessible reports the number of converts, of course, being aggregates. In both sets of tables the missions still in existence are italicized. In addition to the reports and publications of the various Societies and Boards referred to and to communications from their Secretaries to whom, in a majority of cases, the statistics and data have been forwarded for verification the following have been the principal of the works consulted (the precise reference to which has, in the case of the earlier missions, been given in a note, when the fact quoted might easily escape the search of an investigator): Smith and Choules' History of Missions: Boston, 1832.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/5/8/125510.shtml So, it's back to the heinous charge of lying to a grand jury for Libby NEM et. al. proven wrong 1001 th time
"The last I heard, this is case is about allegations Mr. Libby lied, perjured himself before the FBI, special prosecutor and grand jury and obstructed justice," he told CNN in a statement. "None of those charges of which he's been indicted has anything to do with me." Of course they don't Sid, you are a lying POS. You and Ethel are a disgrace to your country, you have sold out your country for your candidate, the US should of sent a capable person to Niger, instead it is about who your ******* instead of who can do the job.
And the question begs to be asked - if Libby is being prosecuted in a criminal court for lying to a grand jury, why wasn't Billy Bob Clinton ?
Question: Did Scooter Libby obstruct justice? If the answer is yes, why would he do so (cover-up). If it is proven that Wilson actually outed his wife, there are still questions to be answered.
Just like the mainstream media is for liberals. Once there's actually a few conservative news outlets and the liberals are horrified.
A. President Clinton was impeached for lying to the Grand Jury. The Republican Party spent $80 million trying to out him for a real estate transaction (in which he lost money) when he was a governor. In the end, he told the truth, that he had sex with an intern. B. Scooter Libby is on trial for obstruction of justice in a trial concerning the outing of a CIA agent. I don't get it. Go ahead and hate Clinton for lying, but please don't downplay this trial as this prosecutor has played by the rules and has not played politics. That there is no comparison to this trial and Clinton's. A fairer comparison to Clinton's activities would be when Bush committed fraud in insider trading before his presidency. Of course he was found innocent, wink, wink.
Didn't I say that Wilson "outed" his wife about or a year ago? WHy yes, I did. Five witnessess, so if their was no crime, how can you have a cover-up? Ask Martha I guess.
LMFAO. You get funnier, or more pitiful, all the time. Everything the MSM says on behalf of liberals is true. :bricks:
Well, let's hope Fitzgerald is a good Republican lawyer like Ken Starr, in which case he still probably has about $60,000,000 left to spend, and can find a logical bridge to going from Plame to Bush's sex life. Let's not forget Condi's famous slip up where she referred to Bush as "her husband." (Hmm, adultery in the White House?) http://www.slate.com/id/2099516/ At any rate, like the Clinton case, this case has taken on a life of its own, and hopefully it will stick around awhile.
So we should not have due process because there are supposedly five witnesses claiming otherwise. By all accounts, there is a cover-up, a prosecutor is looking into this. If this administration is clean, then there should be no problem.
It's incredible that an accusation is just an accusation when it is directed at a Repub, until proven; and yet when directed against their enemies, mud is Gospel. This is a pathetic attempt to spread blame, and it is not yet proven. Saying that you will produce witnesses is not quite the same as having witnesses actually testify under oath in acourt of law and the judge / jury believe them.
That goes both ways, on this board especially. So it would not be accurate to just throw the Republicans into that statement.
Uh, you and NEM DO know that the Libby trial is NOT about the alleged 'outing' of plame, don't you? As others have said, it is about obstruction of justice. Sad to say a rather common crime in Washington circles for decades.
Come on now folks this discussion is over a NEWSMAX article, do you think it is a tad biased??? This whole thing needs to be validated from another source before it warrants this much discussion. Do you expect NEWSMAX to accept that Libby or his boss did anything wrong?? Even if he is ever brought to trial and found guilty, it will be someone elses fault. Karl Rove has taught his students well, when it comes time to blame the person who did it, distract, throw out some names, phony witnesses and always lie.
So, we should not prosecute obstruction of justice? Also, it maybe that the reason that the charge is obstruction of justice versus the more serious charge is it is very hard to get a conviction. Tell me your stance would be just as firm if the party affiliation was reversed.
Where did I say that? Yet another strawman attempt at arguement. Please, learn to read without applying an ideological bias, reading gawd knows what into a post.
My bad. It is very easy to read something into a post or a response. My take was that you were either defending the party being tried, or were downplaying the trial. Honestly, where do you stand?
OK I say that if Libby obstructed justice which it looks like he did, he should pay the penalty. I am attempting to clarify that nobody has been charged with outing Plame as many of the leftists have been crowing over here for ages. If an admin official DID violate the law by outing her, then that official should also pay the penalty. My problem is that we're weak and too accepting of obstruction of justice and security violations. I had a Secret clearance and it was made clear to me in no uncertain terms that deliberate misconduct would result in jail. Should be the same penalty for the beautiful people.

Ayecon is a new Cydia theme which is now available on Cydia for iPhone jailbreakers. The theme was made by Surenix, an iOS theme designer which already has some very popular Cydia themes.
Ayecon has been made specifically for the iPhone's retina display and the icons feature very high detailed graphics. It's a very colourful theme, using bright and vivid shades to really make those icons pop.
It's definitely isn't for everyone though and can look tacky at times.
I still find Jaku my favourite theme, it has a certain classy touch and doesn't use iOS' hideous shiny and glossy touches.
You can find Ayecon on Cydia for $2.99.

Drug & Alcohol Abuse
Drug & Alcohol Abuse: A Dangerous Relationship
Substance abuse and eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating often go hand-in-hand. The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University found that one half of individuals who suffer from an eating disorder regularly abuse alcohol or illicit drugs. This compares to nine percent for the general population.
Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse: A Vicious Cycle
There are many theories that explain the connection between eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating and substance abuse. These theories include looking at eating disorders as an addiction, genetic components, cultural influences, social theories, family dynamics and the role of brain chemistry. The association most likely is a result of a combination of the above. Many eating disordered individuals do use certain substances in an attempt to suppress hunger and lose weight. Alcohol and/or drugs are also used by eating disordered individuals to help relieve the painful feelings associated with practicing an eating disorder.
Although the practice of an eating disorder and the use of substances may start off as self-protective behavior, they quickly turn into self-destructive behavior. The coping mechanisms of purging, bingeing, restricting, drinking, and drug use lose their connection with the original problem and take on a life of their own. Over time, the disorders become self-reinforcing and the individual becomes stuck in the devastating vicious cycle.
Common Risk Factors for Substance Abuse and Eating Disorders
Individuals who suffer from eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating and individuals who suffer from substance abuse share common risk factors and characteristics which include:
- Disorders occur during times of stress or transition
- Family history of the behaviors
- Low self-esteem
- Acne
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Impulsivity
- History of abuse
- Family Dysfunction
- Unhealthy peer pressure
- Susceptibility to messages from others
- Common Brain Chemistry
- Compulsive behavior
- Secretiveness
- Obsessions
- Social Isolation
- Mood altering effects
Get Help for Co-Occurring Conditions
Many healthcare professionals often overlook the link between eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating and substance abuse. Treating just one of the disorders can cause the remaining disordered behavior to intensify. Rader Programs understands the nuances and difficulties of an eating disorder complicated by substance abuse and have put together a program that can address the specific treatment needs of both disorders. Recovery requires addressing both the underlying original problems as well as the embedded cycle of self-destructive behaviors.

A Closer Look At Arthroscopy For Ankle Fractures And Post-Fracture Defects
With the patient hemodynamically stable, perform closed reduction of the fractures and relocation of any joint subluxation or dislocation. Apply a layered compressive dressing and splint, and instruct the patient to elevate the injured limb. One may use two surgical windows to fix the injured extremity. The early period is within six hours after the injury whereas the late period is between six to 12 days.
It is unwise to make incisions in between the six-hour and six-day window as this increases the likelihood of postoperative wound problems.5 The surgeon has to respect this principle of allowing the tissue envelope to "settle" if one is to perform arthroscopic assisted reduction as soft tissue extravasation of ingress fluid from the arthroscopy procedure can further increase the likelihood of wound problems.
Assessing The Benefits And Contraindications Of Arthroscopic Reduction
There are many advantages to arthroscopic assisted reduction. These advantages include: minimal surgical intervention; direct visualization of fracture reduction; comprehensive intra-articular evaluation; and acute treatment of chondral and osteochondral injuries.
The contraindications to performing arthroscopic assisted reduction include: a grossly compromised soft tissue envelope; excessive soft tissue edema with or without blisters; and open fractures.
Pertinent Pearls For Performing Arthroscopic Surgery For Ankle Fractures
Surgeons can use large (4 mm) or small joint (2.7 mm) arthroscopes. Utilize standard anteromedial and anterolateral portals. One can establish a posterolateral portal for posterior talar lesions or posterior malleolar fractures.
The authors recommend avoiding arthroscopic pumps as a rule. Gravity inflow is preferred. Separate inflow and outflow portals help with distention visualization. Pumps require a three-in-one cannula system, one for inflow, one for outflow and another to determine intra-articular pressure. If the cannula inadvertently slips into the subcutaneous space and no outflow is measured, the pump can dramatically increase inflow pressure.
Excessive fluid extravasation can potentially cause compartment ischemia and it has been documented. Gravity inflow avoids this potential complication. We recommend using two 3- to 4-L bags of lactated Ringer's solution at about three feet above the table with large diameter, high flow Y-tubing.
With most fracture patterns, one can adequately evaluate the ankle joint without distraction. The unstable ankle mortise allows for easier passage of instruments than in elective ankle arthroscopy. However, with posterior ankle pathology or difficult fracture reductions as one may see with subacute fractures, ankle distraction is warranted.
Takao described a Kerlix roll technique for distraction.5 We have modified this somewhat by using industry fabricated noninvasive straps and a 4-inch gauze roll. This technique facilitates efficient intraoperative set-up and ensures surgeon flexibility in the use of ankle distraction during the arthroscopic portion of the procedure.
Case Study One: When A Skateboarder Has A Medial Malleolus Fracture
A 15-year-old male with closed physes sustained a closed bimalleolar injury while skateboarding. Radiographs demonstrated a medial malleolar pronation abduction (PAB) type of injury and an incomplete fracture of the lateral malleolus.
The surgeon made standard anteromedial and anterolateral portals. The surgeon debrided the fracture site and curetted the site clear of hematoma and debris. After evacuating the debris and hematoma, one could visualize the fracture line.

The Maldivian Democratic Party's southern campaigning continues whilst legal sparring continues in the capital Male'.
A request for the delay of former President Mohamed Nasheed's criminal court trial has been rejected as the MDP reaches the tour's 10th island.
Spokesperson for the Department of Judicial Administration Latheefa Qasim confirmed that the Hulhumale' court had received the request on Friday night, which had given the southern campaign as a reason for the postponement.
"This reason is not included in the regulations so the court cannot act upon it," said Latheefa, who explained that the trial would go ahead as scheduled – tomorrow at 4:00PM.
After Nasheed's decision not to attend his first hearing on Monday, instead leaving Male' in contravention of a travel ban, the police were requested to present the MDP's presidential candidate in the court for the re-scheduled hearing.
Nasheed stands accused of illegally detaining Chief Judge Abdulla Mohamed in January of this year.
Despite rumours that security forces had been dispatched to return Nasheed to Male', the flotilla of ships on the MDP's 'Journey of Pledges' have as yet seen no sign of any police of Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) vessels.
Police have today said that it under the current court order, Nasheed could only be brought before the Hulhumale' court with his consent.
MDP spokesman Hamed Abdul Ghafoor did mention that the MDP had encountered some opposition from locals on Gemanafushi in Gaafu Alif atoll.
A large tree was floated across the entrance to the harbour in order to prevent the flotilla from gaining access to the island, although Ghafoor said that the log was soon moved and a warm welcome was given by many of the islanders.
"We expected trouble," said Ghafoor. "It was a weak attempt to make news. Eventually, the protesters could not overpower our numbers."
The MDP also reported that a boat named 'Orchid 101′ attempted to block the harbour entrance.
Local media reported that the protest was organised by the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM), speaking with the Island Council's President Asim Mohamed.
"The people protested against Nasheed about three issues. One is that he has ignored the fact that the nation is mourning and is continuing with his tour, the second issue is that he disobeyed Court Orders, and the third is the unrest created in the island during his previous visits," Asim told Sun Online.
Ghafoor also noted that the party had prepared an appeal to the high court regarding Nasheed's criminal court trial.
"The National Executive Committee (NEC) said we do not accept lower courts. The president will appeal to the high court," said Ghafoor.
"Democracy has gone wrong – summons to court represents corruption in the courts," he added, stating that the lower courts were not recognised due to their failure to have adhered to article 285 of the 2008 constitution.
This article required that all judges not having met a level of qualifications outlined in article 149 within two years of the constitution's ratification, be removed from the bench.
Latheefa said she was not yet aware of any high court appeal regarding the Abdulla Mohamed case.
After the party's legal team revealed its concerns over the legality of the Hulhumale' Magistrates Court – assembled to handle the case – its executive council released a statement announcing it would no longer recognise the authority of the judiciary.
Reform of the judiciary is one of the key recommendations made in the Commission of National Inquiry (CNI) which, in August ruled that Nasheed had not been removed in a coup.

The coup regime partnering with a corrupt judicary to serve each other, not the people and the nation. Keep going Anni we want you to reach out to us as you are he true ELECTED President.

when MDP people abstract the other parties in entering some Islands, that was legitimate and when others try to do the same it is a threat to the democracy ?
What a joke ? I guess in this country , we do not need any other party than MDP and everyone need to be a member of MDP then all problems will be solved.

Bengaluru: The parents of Shirish Lokesh, the three-year-old boy who died on Wednesday after three cardiac arrests, claim that they had not consented to a root canal procedure as advised by the dentist, Dr Raviraj. Accusing the doctor of gross negligence and greed for money, Shirish's father, Lokesh K.S., claimed their son underwent severe trauma during the last few hours of his life.
A distraught Asha Lokesh, the boy's mother, told this newspaper that they were told about the procedure after it had been performed.
"We came to Annaya Health Care Centre two months ago for a consultation because my son complained of toothache in the right lower jaw. Dr Raviraj said his tooth was decaying and advised us to get it filled. The appointment was fixed for Wednesday at 7:30 am, and he took my son inside the moment we arrived. He put a mask over Shirish's face and when I asked what it was, he said it was oxygen. Within five seconds, my son was asleep. I was sent out while the operation was being performed. Two hours later, Dr Raviraj came and told us he had performed a root canal treatment. We would never have agreed to it in the first place," she said.
Alleging that they were made to sign a consent form after the operation had been performed, Asha said, "Why would a child, who is barely three years old, require a root canal for his milk teeth? After the procedure, the doctor told us our son was asleep, and showed us his teeth. Instead of a cap only on the right side, there were caps on both sides of his lower jaw".
When Asha saw Dr Raviraj's tense face and heard him speaking in hushed tones to his assistant, she realised something was terribly wrong. She called her husband, who came to the clinic immediately.
"We told them to shift Shirish to a hospital three buildings away, but they kept saying his pulse needed to be stabilised. Dr Raviraj's brother, Dr Dhanraj, also came to the centre and insisted on keeping Shirish there. We saw them continuously beating Shirish's chest and administering around 20-25 injections in less than 90 minutes. It was only after he was shifted to Garden City Hospital in Jayanagar that we were told our son had suffered three cardiac arrests in the clinic. He died a very painful and torturous death," cried a tearful Lokesh.
Shirish would have turned three years old on March 12. The family had planned a grand celebration with their relatives and school friends. Madhu .M, a family friend, said Asha had to stay strong for her first-born, Monish, who was only 10 years old.
"She cannot go into depression now, her son needs her. We had planned a big party for her birthday this month, and a huge bash for Shirish in March, but fate had different plans," she revealed.

Since you got an iOS device which games have sucked away your life?
There have been a few games which I spent way too long playing, much to the annoyance of my other half.
Most recently, Asphalt 7 has been played to death on my iPad. There's just something addictive about trying to get the higher end cars and the shiny graphics. Also it is unbelievably fast at times and runs so smoothly on the iPad. Just before I decided to give that a go, I was hooked on VS Racing 2 for a good couple of weeks. This is a great top down little racer, which plays differently on the iPad (you see more of the track) and phone. Prior to that, it was probably Pinball Arcade, again on the iPad and this was mainly time spent trying not to lose the ball immediately. The tables are pretty close to the real thing and it's plays really smoothly. On my iPhone, I got hooked on Tiny Tower for a while, which basically turned into grinding for the hell of it with minimal enjoyment but that was after several days of enjoyment as my tower grew. Infinity blade also sucked a lot of time away as I tried to get all the weapons etc. Canabalt is a game a mate recommended and I got pretty good at it. It's basically a endless side scroller where you jump across platforms. When I first got my first iPod, Angry Birds was on the go until I got 3 stars on every level, got a new iPod and would have had to start from scratch. Also Doodle Jump was played quite a bit but i'm still rubbish at it. Vectrex Regeneration is coming up soon and combined with my iCade, which has not been used too often (even though I managed to pick up iMame), it should prove a deadly combo. Well, that's all the time suckers that I can remember off the top of my dome. How about you? |

The war between Israel and the Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip could end up as a victory of sorts for both sides. Hamas' popularity in the Arab world has skyrocketed. Hamas leaders say they've forced Israel to the negotiating table by launching rockets at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and held their own for the last week. Their rivals in the Palestinian Authority have been marginalized. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, has received a huge boost to his popularity in the midst of an election campaign. Sheera Frenkel talks to Audie Cornish.

Game Budget: Development vs Marketing
Let's assume we live in an ultra simple world where all game costs can fit nicely into two buckets; Development(cost to make) & Marketing(Cost to sell or market).
What percentage of your game budget goes towards development, and what percentage goes towards marketing? Is there a direct relationship between cost of development and amount spent to market(the more spent on dev, the more that will be spent on marketing). or Is marketing typically fixed regardless of development costs(games get X amount for marketing regardless of dev costs)? Would be interested in hearing thoughts and opinions on this. Last edited by Black Ops; 01-28-2013 at 12:22 PM.. Reason: punctuation |
I'm sure this isn't the exact response you're looking for, but it's similar to any business. You should plan ahead and do research to figure out what avenues you wish to take for marketing while estimating the development cost.
Too many developers leave the marketing until the end without looking at a gameplan from 30,000 ft. up and end up with a product they believe in and 0 ability to tell anyone about it. |
Marketing budget depends on the cost of advertisement & promotions. It can vary from as low as 1% of sales to over 30% based on the industry. These may include Web site development, public relations and any other special events.
I'd say it depends on how much you're spending on the game, but generally 20 to 50% should go into marketing. Otherwise even if your product is great, no one will know about it.
Marketing is some percentage of Development costs
Let me start by saying until recently I always thought of marketing being some percentage of development costs. "Marketing should be some % of development costs" seems like an extremely wise and time honored statement, but is it? I ask because I am beginning to think with the overpublication issues on the games stores that the dev:marketing ratio is going to start tilting(or has tilted if you agree with what's below) towards marketing. I believe that the minimum needed to market a game successfully is rising. It will continue to rise at a pace faster than the cost to develop does. While there is no theoretical minimum amount of money needed to be spent on marketing, in today's marketplace it would be extremely difficult to get noticed with less than $1000 worth of marketing between time and cost. I think a fair argument could be made that a more realistic bottom number may be closer to $5000 to have impactful, measurable, and profitable marketing. To be a real player, the number is probably in the $10k-$25k range. Naturally there are exceptions, and ways to shoestring, but I think the above numbers are realistic with claiming the sky is falling. So what are development costs of a game. Again it will vary, but clearly there can be successful games made for $1000 or less(as well as a massive amount of really crappy games). A fairly simple board game with professional graphics, sound, coding, etc can be done for $2500-$5000. Getting into action, racing, rpg, things that could be expansive with levels, require HD high frame rate graphics, modelling, character development, etc...it is going to be extremely hard to develop these types of games for less than $10k-$25k+ with more leaning toward the $25k+. The big houses are spending 100k-$1mil+ on the huge licensed games. Naturally they also have massive marketing budgets, and few of us on this board have these "problems" so let's throw them out of this discussion. I think its fair to guess that most games on the stores cost $25k or less. I have no data to back this up but here is a guess of what games on itunes cost to develop: $0-$2500 50% $2.5k -$10k 35% $10k - $25k 14% $25k+ 1% Going back to the marketing paragraph I made the following assumptions: Budget Impact $0-$1000 Low $1k - $10k Fair $10k-$25k Good $25k+ High If the above assumption and estimations are anywhere close to correct, then to have a meaningful marketing impact, 85% of games made(Games that cost $10k or less) need to have a development-marketing split in which marketing is more than 50% of total costs. Even to have a fair or medium impact many of these games will need to have marketing be 50% or more of total budget. Hence, I think the conclusion I am reaching is that the new maxim for indie or unfunded game development is this: Development is some percentage of Marketing You have a greater chance of success if you stick to smaller(Low dev costs) games that you market heavily(High marketing spend), than if you make larger (High dev cost) games with disproportionate (low) marketing budgets. If you have a game that costs $5k to develop and you have $5k to market, you are only asking your $5k marketing to make back $10k($5k to make + $5k to market). If you make a $25k game and have $5k to market, you are asking that $5k to make back $30k. Very simply, the more your Dev:Marketing ratio tilts towards Dev, the harder you are asking you marketing dollar to work. The more the ratio tilts towards marketing, the greater the chance the marketing dollar will be able to earn back enough to pay development+marketing costs. SO if you have a $10k game budget, start by saying, "$5k of this is marketing. What kind of game can I develop for $5k?" as opposed to "I have $10k to make a game, of which I have to save 10%-20% for marketing." In option one the dev:marketing ratio is 50/50 and you are asking $5k marketing to make back $10k to break even. In option 2, the dev:marketing ration is 80/20 and you are asking the $2k marketing to earn back the same $10k. In option two your marketing dollars are having to work 2.5x as hard as in option one to break even. Development is some percentage of Marketing I think if you start to think about making games this way you will increase your chance for financial success in today's market. Would love to hear opinions on this and/or facts that can blow it up or substantiate it. |
That's a well made point Black Ops and I agree 100%. Having had some time to reflect on the launch of our first game I would say that when it comes to devising our next game we will most likely take this line of thought.
Marketing is surely the hardest, most expensive and clearly the most important aspect of indie game development. Gone are the days that you can sit back and wait for the downloads to flow in, no matter how good your game is. |
25k+ to be a real player? Real players spent 150k+, Supercell did marketing for 10m+.

Whether custom forage harvesters think Shredlage is valid or not, the alternative crop processing method has brought a renewed focus on how corn kernels should be processed.
At the recent U.S. Custom Harvesters, Inc., (USCHI) Convention, the use of Penn State Particle Separators, called shaker boxes, was urged by USCHI vice president Jon Orr. He's also a custom forage harvester from Apple Creek, OH. The shaker boxes give producers and harvesters a visual method of evaluating particle length.
"How many people have their customers use Penn State boxes when they're chopping?" he asked the forage harvesting contingent attending the convention. "Nobody? Are nutritionists doing it? Are you relying on them to do it or are you there when they're doing it?
"We need to step up and start understanding this stuff. We need to say (to clients): 'Can you get a Penn State box out here and shake this with me? I want to see what I'm doing wrong. I want to see what you're after.' "
Representative corn silage samples are shaken onto a series of three or four screens ranging from coarse to fine. Ideally, 70% of the forage mass should be on the top two screens and no kernels should be found on either one.
Two other field tests could help harvesters and clients look at how well crop processors are cracking kernels and how they should adjust length of cut and roll gap. So suggested Randy Shaver, University of Wisconsin Extension dairy nutritionist.
Pioneer developed a test using a 32-oz beverage cup filled with chopped corn. If more than two or three half or whole kernels are found, roll gap or length of cut should be adjusted, he said.
Shaver likes what he called "the flotation test." A couple of handfuls of representative crop are put into a dishpan of water and stirred to separate floating material from more-dense kernels that sink to the pan's bottom. Once the water and floating material are drained off, producers and harvesters can take a good look at what's left and evaluate how well the kernels have been processed.
Information on that test can be found in "Making Sure Your Kernel Processor Is Doing Its Job."

Senate seeks 'secret' mining tax numbers
PUBLISHED: 30 Sep 2010 11:57:01 | UPDATED: 30 Sep 2010 12:22:00PRINT EDITION: 30 Sep 2010
The Senate has ordered the Gillard government to release the assumptions underpinning its planned minerals resource rent tax.
Liberal senator Mathias Cormann on Thursday moved that key assumptions, information exchanged with the three big mining companies during negotiations and state revenue estimates for mining taxation be released by Thursday afternoon.
The motions passed without the support of the Australian Greens, whose leader Bob Brown argued the preamble was "politically loaded" although he did support the aims.
Senator Cormann said the opposition had been trying to get the numbers behind the tax for three months.
Without them, it was hard to give proper scrutiny to the government's $10.5 billion revenue estimate, he said.
"The government for three months has declined to provide that information, without any proper claim of public interest immunity, without providing a proper statement of reasons," he told the Senate.
"It is not earth-shattering information we are seeking."
The information included commodity prices, production volume, and exchange rate assumptions, which would have a significant impact on the revenue estimates, he said.
Some of the information was published as a matter of course in state budget papers in Western Australia.
"I don't know why the government is treating this as if it was a national security-related state secret," Senator Cormann said.

"I was able to add my own personal pics to include the parents and of course include my future grand baby. It was a perfect invitation for a couples shower and in pink since they are having a girl :)"
"I waited until the last minute to order these invites. They shipped very quickly and I loved the outcome. Very cute and fun. I had a hard time finding just a simple cute card for a baby girl shower and this totally fit the bill. Loved it!"
"This was a beautiful invitation! I loved how personal it was with the pictures I uploaded. I chose the pearl shimmer finish and it looked amazing! It was super easy to try different fonts, and switch up the template for the writing (I changed the fonts and colors and centered the text). I was also able to personalize the back of the card with a picture and writing, which turned out to be everyone's favorite part of the invitation. The quality of the paper and the printing, even the envelopes (and I chose the basic ones that come standard with the invite) was excellent. Thanks tinyprints, I'll be back again!"
"I am extremely pleased with the finished product of the invitations. The quality of the paper, ink and design, relative to the expense, was upstanding. I would purchase from this company again!"
"This is great card if you're looking for something in between too traditional and too contemporary. I was concerned about not upgrading paper stock, but the basic card stock is probably better than the boxed cards you buy in stores. I used a little 'heavier' font and centered the text as opposed to flush left. It's just a really cute card. Probably favorite card I have ever bought online."

Kurt Kavano to speak on 'Global Retail Trends & Strategies' at SLDF's South Asian Apparel Leadership Forum
TradeCard Founder and Chairman Kurt Cavano, listed among World Trade Magazines world's 50 most influential people, is a key personality whose vision and talks are much anticipated and he is a keen supporter of Sri Lanka's vision to be South Asia's apparel hub.
TradeCard Founder and Chairman Kurt Cavano, who brought his New York business to Sri Lanka seven years ago, is geared to expand and grow his business within the country to hold significantly more employees here in Colombo in the near future.
"TradeCard works with many Sri Lankan apparel makers through international brands like Levi's," said Cavano on his company's relationship with Sri Lanka. Believing that the region holds unbelievable opportunities for the world and for the company, Cavano won the admiration of local apparel makers by urging Sri Lanka apparel not to pursue a cheap needle approach, but to evolve with quality and sustainability – attributes that have become synonymous with them.
"A lot of change happening here is having a really incredible effect in the world," he asserted at 2011's forum. "…It creates an unbelievable opportunity for Sri Lanka. This is not to say what's happening isn't. TradeCard is a key supporter of SDLF's campaign to position Sri Lanka at the global ethical fashion forefront and sees the island as an essential supply base with the movement of the international apparel market towards South Asia."

Safety is built into every aspect of Boone's new patient tower.
Walking down the hall, past the rooms inside Boone Hospital Center's new patient tower, one of the first things that stands out is how the entryway to each room is slightly angled from the wall.
It's an unusual sight.
In comparison to a traditional hallway, with the entries flat along the corridor, these doors are gently staggered, angled toward the patient's bed.
As it turns out, the design choice goes beyond aesthetics. Hospital leaders chose to angle the doors so that doctors, nurses and caregivers could see the patient as they pass each room.
That way, a nurse just walking down the hall for another purpose can informally check the status of a dozen patients as he or she passes. More eyes on each patient mean any problems are spotted sooner and care is provided more quickly.
This attention to detail and focus on safety is everywhere inside the new patient tower.
"We've really focused on evidence-based practice, and how we can make our patients safer," said Monica Smith, Boone Hospital Intensive Care Unit director. "We have put a lot of thought into working safety into our design."
For example, when hospital leaders were deciding where to place the restrooms inside each patient room, they looked to the research. They found that most hospital falls happen while patients are using the restroom or moving to and from restroom.The answer was to move the restrooms closer to the patient beds and ensure they are more accessible from the bed. It's a simple change but one that will make a meaningful difference in helping reduce dangerous falls.
Every patient room is also structured and organized for same-handedness, meaning all the equipment and supplies are located in the same location in each room.
"If you are a nurse who goes from one floor to another, you will know where everything is," Smith said. "You don't have to go hunting for supplies, you are more efficient and it doesn't take any time away from caring for the patient."
Another time-saving safety feature is the new tower's decentralized nursing stations. Traditionally, the caregivers in each hospital unit are based around a central nursing station. This new design places smaller stations nearer to the patient rooms, allowing nurses to be more responsive and pay closer attention to patient needs.
The new rooms were also created with a focus on ensuring patients have a comforting healing environment that goes well beyond the traditional hospital setting.
Each room is set up in invisible "zones" that help establish a natural flow to the room and set aside space for caregivers and patients. The room design also recognizes the importance of family members to the healing process. Each room comes equipped with a pull-out couch for family members. Current research shows that there are better outcomes when patients and their families are active participants in the healing process.
Another easily-overlooked feature of the new rooms are the windows. The large windows and their position in the rooms are designed to maximize natural light inside the rooms. This can help preserve natural day and night body rhythms for patients facing multi-day stays in the hospital.
For Myrl Frevert, Boone Hospital's director of Support Services, watching the tower project come together from the early plans has been "almost like a dream."
"At every decision point, we asked, 'What's the right thing for the patient?'" Frevert said. "As it's coming in to reality, I know we're doing the best thing for our patients. This is a true healing environment for them."
