Stronghold Kingdoms
Stronghold Kingdoms Overview
Stronghold Kingdoms is a MMORTS by Firefly Studios based on the strategy titles Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader, both which were massive successes in their days. The focus of Stronghold Kingdoms is on long-term, grand scale strategy, with each player playing a lord in charge of a handful of villages, in the context of a feudal Europe at war with itself. Build up your lands, raise an army, then befriend, dominate, or outright destroy your neighbors in the name of your House. This is a game of diplomacy where who you know might be just as crucial as what you can do, and making the wrong enemy can lead to a brutal, often sudden demise. Though keep in mind, this is a long term experience, and the slow but steady progression can be boring at one moment, or incredibly rewarding when the action picks up. In any case, Stronghold Kingdoms is for the builders and strategist in you.
Features -
Build & Progress - See your village rise from a single building to a large and overflowing city. These are the core of the game, and can be pillaged, damaged, or even razed by your enemies. Beware.
Character & Coat-of-Arms Customization – While the character customization is not very deep, there can be as many different coat-of-arms as there are players, with potential for both realism and hilarity.
Research & Quests – A system of research lets you progress through new discoveries, while quests reward you for experimenting and exploring.
Factional PvP – Though you can, and will fight your own battles, much of the action revolves around huge Houses (composed of player factions) struggling against one another for territory and honor.
Grand Strategy – In addition to military action, other elements like agents and ability cards come into play, adding a layer of unpredictability to the action. Think that castle's undefended? Think again.

Stronghold Kingdoms Review
Full Review
By Gui
Stronghold Kingdoms is one of those quiet hits; it has a solid player base, a novel concept, but very little publicity revolving around it. I'd say that's actually a pretty good thing, and very good news for the fans after Firefly Studios' abysmal iterations of the latest Stronghold titles. So what exactly is Stronghold Kingdoms? Well, technically it's a real time strategy title, but the action is stretched over such a long term that it turns out seeming more like a sort of flash game where you log in, build a few things, then log out for the day. Thus, if you're looking for a short, intense experience, this isn't the right game for you.
Stronghold 2.5
However that isn't to say that Stronghold Kingdoms can't be involving, and quite the opposite actually; over time, you become strongly attached to the villages you've worked so hard to build. So how does this all begin? Well, when you first start playing, you're led through a quick tutorial that introduces you to most functions of the game. In addition, each gameplay screen has a link to the game's very own wiki, detailing everything at length. So while it'll appear complex at first, you have all the tools you need to start out. The graphics are nothing to call home about however, as Firefly Studios mostly re-uses the series' old 2D graphics. Oh and not only for the music – the soundtrack is re-used as well, along with the series' old antagonists. While we love the first two games of the series, this seems more like a very lazy design choice than a loving return to the first games. The interfaces are a bit rough around the edges, and the map itself is nothing crazy. Overall, aside from the artwork on the trading cards (more on this down further) this is not a very good looking game. Thankfully, there's much more to it than that.
Rats, Plagues & Bandits
If you can get past the rough first meeting, there's a tons of fun to be found here. For a start, building up your village is the very core of the game, and they orient both your income and progression. You need to build up farms, town buildings, churches, and eventually defenses in the form of castles. Each building takes an increasing amount of time to build, and their placement in the village is crucial. While you can choose the terrain you'll build your village in (lowlands, plains, hills, etc.), most villages sort of looks the same in the long term when you learn to optimize your construction. You level through ranks (villain, freeman, commoner, thane, etc.) using honor produced by your villages, which in turn awards you research points. You progress through researching your way through the research tree, which provide a variety of unlocks and benefits. Combined together, the progression system becomes incredibly addictive. Your villages can host armies and agents, with the former consisting of a variety of units ranging from peasant to swordsmen, and the latter consisting of scouts, merchants, monks and captains, each serving a specific purpose. As a whole, this means that there are various play styles, with some clearly more aggressive than others, but also potentially more rewarding. Still, Stronghold Kingdoms will mostly always encourage the long game rather than short term benefit.
Kings & Houses
Your villages are not isolated, however. They're inside area divisions called parishes, which can consist of anywhere between 4 and 10+ villages, which in turn are within counties, which are within provinces, and all of them within a country. In each of these can be found a special form of village called a capital, which produce buildings using taxes levied from the lower levels. These buildings in turn benefit the villages within their ranges. Also, each village can have a liege lord of its own, awarding both players some bonus honor, and mutual cooperation. If it seems complex at first, it's because it is. And this is a good thing, because it gives Stronghold Kingdoms a political life, where diplomacy, community and interaction matters. Added to this are factions, which are like guilds, and Houses, which are essentially huge gatherings of guilds. Factions and houses can control huge geographical areas, and sometimes even countries, putting a King of their own on the throne. Oh, did I mention that your villages can also be razed, captured and pillaged? That's right, other players can utterly crush you, and vice versa. In Stronghold Kingdoms, who you connect with is everything, and lone wolves tend not to last very long.
Gold & Faith
Thus, the politics is not for everyone, and considering how long it takes to build up your villages, it can be extremely scary to go to war. There are however a few other goodies to help you. For one, a trading card system that gives you a variety of advantages, which can either be purchased with real money, or awarded at regular intervals depending on your in-game rank. There are also premium tokens, which arguably give you essential functions, like queuing buildings and research. The downside to this is that it's very much a situation where paying customers benefit from immense advantages. In closing, there are also some very neat side features, like the ability to customize both your lord, and your heraldry in detail. There are vast numbers of option to make your icon absolutely unique, and you're unlikely to stumble onto the same design twice, even if you're on one of the more populous servers. Also, depending on your server, the world you occupy will have different in-game areas. French language servers, for an example, are set in medieval France. This is the case for English, German, Polish, and even Russian. The downside is that if you just want to play in a different geographical area, well, you'll most likely not share the language of your peers.
Final Verdict: Good
While Stronghold Kingdoms is a long-term experience, it requires very little daily involvement, making it a perfect game on the side. In addition, the progression is incredibly rewarding, and the action sudden but challenging. Politics being such a crucial aspect might not be to everyone's taste, but it makes the entire experience very community-oriented, and encourages players to get involved. This is one of those games where players make the story from beginning to end. In retrospective, it sort of feels like a very extensive, very involved, long term board game, and the few flaws are strongly compensated for by the otherwise flavorful experience. It's a bit niche, but here strategists will thrive.

China has set up an ambitious non-fossil fuel target of 30% of electricity generation by the end of 2015, including major investments in solar power. China's solar power capacity increased to 7 GW in 2012, and the country has a solar installation target of 21 GW by end of 2015. The growing renewable energy revolution in China is on pace to undercut the aggressive Chinese coal demand projections upon which U.S. export hopefuls are counting.

I guess it's an obvious pattern for users, to try to
1) search for an answer in a particular sub-forum,
2) change the phrase to narrow down the search
3) and finally post a new thread in this sub-forum if no answer was found
Would it be possible do do it without clicking "back"? The "search" field disappears once it has been filled.
Also "post new thread" disappears then.
Also there is no option to search in particular Category
so i.e. If I'm not sure if some answer would be in "general discussion" or "multimedia" or "interface" for either C++ or Qt, I have to search each of them one by one

Louisville Slugger Attack Senior League Baseball Bat: SLAT14-R8

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the Louisville Slugger Attack Senior League Baseball Bat: SLAT14-R8? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Can this bat be used in Little League's "Junior League"?
Because this Louisville Slugger Attack Senior League Baseball Bat (SLAT14-R8) features a composite barrel and is not BBCOR certified, it is NOT approved for the Junior League division of Little League Baseball. Only composite bats that are BBCOR certified and have -3 length to weight ratios are approved for that division. However, you are allowed to use any bat with a 2 5/8" barrel diameter that is made of alloy, as long as it has the USSSA BPF 1.15 mark. Currently, we have the 2015 Louisville Slugger Select 715 (SLS7158) which is most similar to the Attack in design but approved for your division.
Is this bat balanced or endloaded?
The Louisville Slugger Attack Senior League Baseball Bat (SLAT14-R8) will feature a balanced swing weight.
Are you guys going to restock the 30" 22 oz. model?
Unfortunately, we don't anticipate adding any sizes of the 2014 Louisville Slugger Attack Senior League Baseball Bat (SLAT14-R8) back into inventory as it's a discontinued model. The Prime 915 is now being produced, and we do have that in stock in the 30" length: http://goo.gl/Q5Z5uh.
Product Description
***If within 30 days of the purchase the consumer is not completely satisfied with the performance of their TRU3 Bat, they are able to return it to the retailer from which the purchase was made or directly to Louisville Slugger for a full refund of the documented retail price paid.*** It's time to step up and attack the diamond, because multi-piece composite bats just changed forever! Louisville Slugger proudly introduces their new Tru3 3-piece construction composite bat suitably named the Attack. This revolutionary new transition technology strengthens the link between the barrel and handle and gives it a dramatically reduced vibration on contact. Rather than thicken the walls of our bats, Louisville Slugger inserted a 1"wide graphite band which gives the bat one of the lowest swing weights in the game. Vibration from mishits are absorbed before they reach the player's hands, allowing players to be more consistent with their hitting. The Attack is constructed from Louisville Slugger's Pure 360 Composite that uses thinner, high-strength and lightweight graphite fibers to add more layers in the handle and transition for added strength, while reducing overall wall thickness. More pop, less weight: that's the formula for better performance AND durability. With a balanced swing weight and an easy to grip 31/32 inch handle, this bat will have hitters ATTACKING the strike zone like never before! Louisville Slugger: Be the Best, or Swing the Rest! The Attack features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp and is approved for play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Taking a sip of water. Walking your kids to school. Biting a red apple. None of those activities should include the word "toxic.
Every human deserves to live their lives without fearing they may be consuming toxic chemicals or could be seconds away from a chemical disaster.
The production, trade, use, and release of toxic synthetic chemicals are a threat to human health and the environment everywhere. Still, the industries that produce and release toxic chemical compounds find ways to persist, often with little or no testing, safety requirements, or understanding of the impacts of their behavior.
Greenpeace internationally campaigns to protect people and ecosystems from the dangers of toxic chemical exposure particularly those working at chemical facilities and communities living near these dangerous facilities. We monitor industry's actions on the ground, keep the public informed about risks, perform direct interventions at pollution sites, and advocate for major change in legislation and corporate policy.
Find out where more than 400 high-risk chemical plants are located.
And we are making progress every day. Consumer products are less toxic. Companies and countries are beginning to responsibly handle mountains of electronic waste. And we support communities across developing countries to protect their soil, water, and advocate for safe working conditions.

(CNN) -- A liberal group in Kentucky is under fire from conservatives for a tweet it posted nearly two weeks ago which alludes to the race of Sen. Mitch McConnell's wife.
"This woman has the ear of @McConnellPress -- she's his #wife," the February 14 tweet from Progress Kentucky reads, referencing the Kentucky Republican by his official twitter account. "May explain why your job moved to #China!"
McConnell's wife is former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, the first female Asian-American to hold a Cabinet post.
The five-term senator is up for re-election in 2014. His campaign manager, Jesse Benton, blasted the group, which has been active on Twitter but has a blank website and has filed no Federal Election Commission reports since its founding document in mid-December.
"It is unconscionable that anyone would use blatant race-baiting for political gain," Benton said in a statement. "Progress Kentucky should be ashamed of themselves. We hope all Americans can agree that these disgusting tactics have no place in American politics as we try to bring people together to solve our difficult problems."
Progress Kentucky fired back that they had not engaged in race-baiting.
"Progress Kentucky strongly denies that the organization has engaged in any such thing," Shawn Reilly, executive director of Progress Kentucky, said in a statement. "Benton's statements are an attempt to divert attention from the fact that Mitch McConnell has engaged in the selling of the American middle class overseas for decades."
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, the group committed to electing Republicans to Congress, fired off against the group as well.
"This is disgusting and must be condemned immediately by top Democrats across the board, including Jim Messina, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DSCC Chairman Bennet, and DCCC Chairman Steve Israel - not to mention Senator Schumer and Senator Reid," the statement from Brad Dayspring, the group's strategist, read.
Actress Ashley Judd has said she is considering running on the Democratic ticket for the seat, and said in her own tweet on Tuesday: "Whatever the intention, whatever the venue, whomever the person, attacks or comments on anyone's ethnicity are wrong & patently unacceptable."
The tweet remained on the group's page on Wednesday afternoon. When asked if the group planned to take down the post, Progress Kentucky's treasurer said he had no comment.

Foreign Affairs has played host to the great ideological debates that defined the twentieth century -- and continue to mold the twenty-first.
These collections, curated from our archives, chronicle the grand themes of communism and fascism, American hegemony and decline, and globalization and the foremost theme of the future: the rise of the rest.
Subscribe now to get full access to the complete Foreign Affairs archives.
As the first issues of Foreign Affairs went to press, Europe witnessed the initial stirrings of fascism, with Mussolini in Italy and then Hitler in Germany. Written as the world divided into Axis and Allies, these essays mark the first great challenge to a liberal, democratic world order.
For many years, Hanson Baldwin served as the military editor of the New York Times. Throughout World War II, he filed dispatches to Foreign Affairs that took the long view of the war. These selections offer a vivid, compact, and real-time accounting of events -- both in their uncertainty and triumph.
Triumph in Europe and the Pacific quickly gave way to a world divided between two opposing ideologies -- that individual citizens should own private property and that the state should own all material goods. So a four-decade struggle began.
If the eighteenth belonged to the French, and the nineteenth to the United Kingdom, then the twentieth century belonged to the United States. That arc of power traces a story of military might, economic prowess, and an adaptive political system capable of withstanding tectonic shifts in the global order.
In accepting the Nobel Prize in 1949, William Faulkner asked, "There is only the question: When will I be blown up?" A device capable of annihilating humankind fundamentally altered the way states calculated their relationships to the rest of the world.
First there was the League of Nations, Woodrow Wilson's ill-fated attempt after World War I to create a formal system of global governance. Yet, as World War II came to an end, international institutions began to take shape in earnest, and they came to guide discussions of security, legal, and economic issues.
In 1931, it was a question of passports. In 1998, it was a question of disappearing borders. And today, it is a question of economic growth and inequality. Globalization has made many richer but also poses a confounding question: What will it take for states to leave conflict behind and, instead, cooperate?
At first they were known as the BRICs -- Brazil, Russia, India, and China -- the large, rapidly growing developing states ready to remake the world economy. Now, Indonesia and others have been added to the list. But few can say if these new powers will overcome their own challenges, and more, if they will accept the current world order, or change it.
Old as the middle ages, but as vicious as ever, terrorism is a tactic that leverages small, spectacular attacks to seize entire populations with fear. September 11 focused America's attention on radical Islam and the terrorist threat -- some even say too much.

@Blackstar, Crazycheese
I think it is a question of three moments.
1) Availability. Linux driver stack is unfinished, unpolished and lacking lots of functionality - if to be compared with catalyst(yes, big "lol") or nvblob.
2) Lacking manpower. Linux driver stack itself receives 1/100 of attention it "should".
3) Licensing. BSD is steal-friendly. Where GPL would give good protection against raw stealing(ie. concealing), BSD is plainly give-away. I doubt any company would share any IP unless it is well-known by others and hence outdated, cause that would mean simply loosing advantage vs minor gains(bsd moneyflow).
Panix points are valid in many cases.
@Blackstar, Crazycheese
I use OpenBSD, but believe my comments are applicable to Free/Net/OtherBSD. I use OpenBSD because it seems more logical to me. I have a linux install for skype, occasional games, and Meshlab, and a windows install for one or two games that don't like wine.
2 years ago I was playing openarena and using various other desktop programs just fine on OpenBSD, I'm wouldn't have thought things have got worse. Open source driver only, but compared to a few years ago (prior to opening up) it's pretty good. The open source drivers meet all my needs (which include working with large 3D models), so I probably wouldn't bother with a binary driver even if one came along.
There isn't kernel support for R600+ in OpenBSD because the guy who is going to do it decided he wants to finish his PhD first, which is hardly unfair. Those who use BSD do so knowing the driver situation.
Nvidia have had binary drivers for Solaris for many years: long before any oracle deal was considered (at least publicly).Maybe Oracle is paying for it?
Using it in accordance with the licence (e.g. making a closed source program with it) isn't stealing.3) Licensing. BSD is steal-friendly.
I do agree though that it's very unlikely that companies will find the BSD-style licencing something they want to contribute code under, since it's practically giving away your work to potential competitors, and that's not something companies are keen on doing.
Which I assume is also why GPL has become the de facto standard licence under which different companies cooperate when developing open source code. Well, given it's popularity I guess it's the de facto standard licence for cooperative open source development even outside the corporate realm.
Hey Guy.. I wanna need the answer of same question.. You can't use ATI cards in BSD?
Hope you will share here answer.
You can use ATI cards in BSD - they all come with the open source classic driver.
They don't meet all the requirements for the latest (Gallium3D) drivers, but they're perfectly usable with the classic drivers (obviously depending on what you actually want to do with them).

Idaho's Infant Toddler Program (ITP) coordinates a system of early intervention services to assist Idaho children birth to three years of age who have a developmental delay or who have conditions (such as prematurity, Down Syndrome, hearing loss) that may result in a developmental delay.
Children referred to the Infant Toddler Program are assessed to see if they meet program eligibility. If eligible, an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is written that outlines services for the child and their family. This plan is reviewed every six months. At three years of age, ITP assists with the child's transition to a developmental preschool program or other community services.
Outreach and screening activities occur across Idaho to identify children who may need early intervention services. In addition, parents can enroll in Developmental Milestones by filling out the Ages and Stages Questionnaires online (or by mail) to track the development of children who may be at risk for delay. If children are found to be behind their peers in any developmental area, they will be referred for an evaluation.
Referrals to the ITP are received from all parts of the community including medical staff, childcare and social service staff, and parents. If you wish to talk with an early intervention provider in your area, please call Idaho CareLine by dialing 2-1-1.

The 550km Porcelain Route between Bamberg and Bayreuth gives visitors on the trail of this white gold the chance to uncover more than 300 years of porcelain history, plus a veritable mountain of information on the region's porcelain heritage and the people who make it.
Those following the route can enjoy the captivating countryside of north-east Bavaria while getting to know some fascinating things about this amazing, naturally-made material, whose range of applications and form are virtually unsurpassed. The proud history of German porcelain is on display at every turn, with museums, factory outlets, specialist stores and manufactories showcasing the full breadth of porcelain elegance. Amongst the many world-famous porcelain brands on show, visitors will find Seltmann, Arzberg, Walküre, Bauscher, Goebel, Hutschenreuther, Rosenthal and many others that are faithful to the porcelain tradition. There are also plenty of bargains to be had at the various factory outlets, which sell a range of charming items from everyday china, through elegant luxury designs to painted, one-off pieces. In many places, manufacturers offer guided tours that allow visitors to see how the raw porcelain mixture is moulded, fired, painted, decorated and glazed until it becomes a finished product. For those wishing to study the subject in more depth, Selb-Plössberg's Porzellanikon complex, home to the European Industrial Museum for Porcelain and the European Museum for Technical Ceramics, is highly recommended. Many other museums also recount the story of this cultural and historical achievement, from the origins of the first ceramics right up to the lifestyle objects of the 21st century. Along the Bavarian Porcelain Route, examples of substantial works of art and stylish design items can be found in the midst of enchanting highland scenery that is as rich and varied as the porcelain itself. The route is also a real insider's tip for motorcyclists and camper van enthusiasts.

The film uses the sad but longing 1960s old Hong Kong as its backdrop. The story follows the travels of a small family - the father (Simon Yam), a shoemaker who makes new shoes everyday but yet always wears a pair of broken shoes, the optimistic and protective mother (Sandra Ng); the oldest son (Aarif Lee) - smart, athletic and optimistic about the future and love and the younger son (Chung Siu To) who is curious, can recite his alphabet backwards, and has the ability to make his parents laugh. As a family, they live in old Hong Kong marked by the East-West cultural mix and the rich and the poor co-existing together. The film follows how the family faces life's challenges, ups and downs, and the tears within laughter, and the laughter within tears.

Discussing: FIXED - Review Story Submission Problem
FIXED - Review Story Submission Problem
Message: 53455
24 Apr 10 8:20 PM
Original Post
General Audience
A site member reported two related issues to Tech Support on April 20th:
- When she tried to update her status to Reviewer, the system allowed her to click the update button, but did not record the updated status.
- When she tried to submit a story for review, the submission appeared to work, but the story was never placed into the review queue.
She said the unusual thing was that she never received a warning or error message - everything looked like it was running normally. After confirming that her system was accepting cookies and had no odd browser settings, I examined the update code for those two actions.
The problem was quickly apparent. The code used in the review section to prevent malicious database attacks, like those experienced by HASA summer before last, had a security setting on it that was too high for even ordinary members to use. Only members who were already reviewers could change their reviewer status or submit a story for review.
This problem has now been fixed.
If you have attempted to submit a story for review to HASA since the new site launch in late December 2009 and have not been able to do so, please try again, particularly if you were not a reviewer at that time. Also, if you attempted to update your reviewer status in the Reviews section (the My Stuff section security code was not affected), please try to update again.
Also, on a more general note, if you try to add, edit or update something on the site and it seems to work but your changes don't take effect, please take the time to send in a comment. Problems that cause error messages are automatically sent to the Tech Support email box, but if something fails silently, without an error, I have no way to know it has occurred unless a site visitor tells me.

2 1/4 cups of flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 stick/113 gram cold butter – cut into cubes
3/4 cup of buttermilk
3 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
4 slices of bacon
1. In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp and brown. Transfer to paper towels and to drain off excess fat. Chopped it roughly and set it aside.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degree F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat mat.
3. Combined flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Mix well. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add in 2 tbsp of the chopped parsley and cooked bacon. Mix well. Add in the buttermilk and stir until it forms into a dough if not you can add a bit more buttermilk to it.
5. Pour out the dough on a well floured work surface and knead the dough 4-5 times. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle shape. About 9 x 5 inches.
6. Lightly dust the top of the dough with floured then folds the dough crosswise into thirds (like folding a letter). Re-roll the dough into rectangle again. Lightly dust the top with flour again and fold it into thirds again. (this is to creates the layers)
7. Gently roll the dough out into ¾ inch thick, cut it into square with a knife or biscuit cutter to form the biscuits. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, 1" apart from each other.
8. Brush the top of the biscuits with a bit of milk; sprinkle the top with a bit of chopped parsley.
9. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool down for a few minutes and enjoy it with some butter.
Note: With this basic biscuit dough you can add any type of herbs, cheese, nuts and etc to it.

The star, who portrays Roosevelt's cousin and companion Daisy Stuckley in new movie Hyde Park on the Hudson, always had her suspicions about her character's ties to the president - and she admits a trip to Stuckley's former home left her in no doubt that the pair was deeply fond of one another.
Linney says, "Most people don't know that she even existed, her name was Daisy Stuckley and she was FDR's cousin and very, very close confidante.
"This woman lived to be 100 years old and she was a real wallflower; no one took her very seriously and she always feigned ignorance to anything about the president - she was just a cousin who helped keep him company.
"When she died, under her bed was a little suitcase filled with letters and diaries that (suggested) their relationship was much more extensive than anyone understood and was non-platonic. I saw the suitcase.
"Her home is this amazing museum... and you can go there and learn all about Daisy and her family... and the letters are all at the presidential library in Hyde Park.
"People were kind enough to let me into her bedroom, which is exactly the way it is when she died and she slept in a single bed and she woke up every morning and the first thing she saw was a huge lithograph of FDR and next to that was a vitrine filled with little knick-knacks, things that he would pick up... the equivalent of stuff you would pick up at airports at the last minute (for a loved one)."

Global Opportunities
You will have limitless opportunities to gain international exposure at Fisher. The college's Office of Global Business works closely with faculty to offer students unique opportunities to combine academic study with global exploration, learning first-hand about business practices and challenges around the world.
Emerging Markets Field Study (EMFS)
For over a decade, one of the most popular elective courses at Fisher has been the Emerging Markets Field Study class. This course, open to full-time and part-time students, allows students to learn all about a specific country in a developing market, including its socio-economic structure, history, and political system.
Elective Treks
Elective Treks are non-credit, faculty-led visits to countries where specific functional topics are of great interest. No coursework is required - students are simply able to enjoy some "bonus learning time" during school breaks.
MHR 894 - Micro-Enterprises and Economic Development
The course is offered to graduate students and combines classroom study with a 10 day experience in one or more Bolivian villages. Students will seek to understand the challenges faced by small, entrepreneurial firms in producing and marketing products for global markets.
Foreign Languages
Traveling and working in an increasingly global business environment makes knowing a foreign language the norm rather than the exception. While some of our students master a foreign language before they start at Fisher, the Office of Global Business offers you opportunities to either start or refine your foreign language skills in the language of your choice using resources at Ohio State or Rosetta Stone.

Cleveland web designers try a different Tackk from Facebook, Twitter
Blog Entry:
October 11, 2012 4:30 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A Cleveland-based startup called
is trying to do what Twitter, Facebook and others don't do well: offer a "basic, single-use web page for whatever they need, with dead-simple posting tools and no registration necessary."
So says
this story
on Techli, a website that covers technology and innovation.
The piece notes that Tackk "made its public debut earlier this month after spending time in a private beta." The service was founded by Eric Bockmuller and Dan Klammer, two Cleveland-based designers "with a passion for elegant web creations," according to Techli.
"We saw our friends and family trying to share things online — things they love or stories they want to tell — and realized what a struggle it was for them," Mr. Bockmuller says. "It seemed like something that should be really simple was so hard, so we decided to create Tackk."
For those purposes, Techli says, "Twitter's too spare, Facebook's too crowded and creating a new blog is too time consuming."
The story notes that the co-founders' designer background "is apparent when first visiting Tackk, which couldn't be any more straightforward."
"Upon arriving at the website, a user will be presented with a mock-up post, broken down section-by-section with basic explanations, each of which are editable with a single click," according to Techli. "A post can be as basic or as complex as the user would like to make it, with options for pictures, text colors, backgrounds, and even clickable buttons. Posts can be made anonymously, and are aggregated on the Tackkboard — the heart of the service that's helping the founders discover how people are approaching Tackk."
If the deal sounds too sweet ...
that a Clevelander and another Ohioan were among 10 people charged on Wednesday in connection with a vending machine "business opportunity" scam, involving bulk candy vending machines, that defrauded thousands of victims across the country.
The U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Miami. It alleges that managers, sales representatives and operators of "locating companies" associated with Multivend LLC, dba Vendstar, "made material misrepresentations about the profits that would be generated and the traffic attached to vending locations," according to Forbes.com. "During telemarketing calls, Vendstar's sales representatives allegedly falsely claimed to operate their own profitable vending machine businesses."
Vendstar allegedly advertised nationwide in newspapers and on the Internet. If someone pursued any of the leads and reached the promoters, "Vendstar sales representatives purportedly promised to provide you with everything they needed to operate a successful business." Among the startup support promised: vending machines, an initial supply of candy, assistance in finding locations for the vending machines, and training.
But Forbes.com notes that as a result of the alleged scam, investors' vending machines generated little business and Vendstar's customers lost nearly all, if not all, of their investments. The typical customer paid about $10,000 for the business opportunity.
Among the named defendants are Edward Morris "Ned" Weaver, 39, of Perrysburg, Ohio, the president and CEO of Vendstar, and Wallace W. DiRenzo, 67, of Cleveland, who operated Nationwide Locating Co., which was based in North Palm Beach, Fla.
If you pay much attention to economic news, you won't be surprised to learn that the Federal Reserve's
latest assessment
of economic conditions in the Cleveland district is decidedly so-so.
Here's how the Fed's Beige Book describes conditions in the Fourth District:
Business activity expanded in the Fourth District since our last report, although the rate of growth remains modest. On balance, manufacturing output rose. In the real estate sector, nonresidential construction picked up, while reports on single-family housing starts were mixed. Sales of existing family homes increased. Retailers and auto dealers saw a modest improvement in sales during August and September on a year-over-year basis. Shale gas activity continued at a robust pace, while coal production fell below prior-year levels. The slowdown in freight transport volume, which began in the second quarter, has abated. And the demand for business and consumer credit moved slightly higher. "
In other words, more of the same.
Stay home
More Americans than ever "are choosing to forgo formal offices in favor of working from home," according to
this story
from TheAtlanticCities.com.
The piece notes that the U.S. Census Bureau this month released data examining metro areas with the highest concentrations of people who work out of their home. The data found "increasing levels nationally and slight, but notable, geographic differences," according to TheAtlanticCities.com. Technologies such as Skype and DropBox make it easier than ever to be productive outside a traditional office.
"Nationally, the number of workers responding that they worked exclusively at home increased by 1.8 percentage points (4.8 percent to 6.6 percent) from 1997 to 2010, according to the report," TheAtlanticCities.com notes. "Workers who reported that they worked at least one day per week at home increased from 7.0 percent in 1997 to 9.5 percent in 2010. Just under half of those who work at home were also self-employed, while a quarter were from management, business, and finance occupations."
The story doesn't specifically mention the Cleveland market, but a map that's reproduced in the post puts Cleveland at about the national average. Boulder, Colo., at 10.9%, has the highest percentage of people who work at home.
Other states with high levels of at-home workers are California, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Oregon.

Movie Night Cupcakes
Ok. I'll admit it. I'm an absentee blogger.
Before you go blaming yourself, head over to the Cupcake Menu and check out all the exciting new additions! You see? Mommy's just been in the kitchen whipping up some new flavours - it's not your fault, little one!
Maybe if you subscribed to my RSS feed, or cleaned your room, or spent less time alone in the bathroom, Mommy and her blog would still love each other.
But the blog and I are going to give it another go. In fact, here's a fun cupcake tutorial just in time for the Oscars way late for the Oscars!
It may look like a hamster-sized tub of popcorn, but it's actually a cupcake, covered in frosting, marshmallows and wearing a print-out-able sleeve. And here's how to make them:
Bake yourself a batch of cupcakes, in any baking cup you like. Maybe try my Burnt Butter Brown Sugar Cupcakes whynot? Any flavour will do, but it's better if it's a light coloured cupcake so that the attached popcorn will all blend in, colour-wise.
While your cupcakes are baking, start on the grueling process that is prepping the marshmallows. This step is best performed accompanied by an episode or two of Firefly, and a helpful pair of hands, like those of a Mr. B. The 'popcorn marshmallows' take a good amount of time, but can be made in advance and stored in a ziplock bag until you need them.
Start with a single MINI marshmallow:
With a pair of scissors, cut halfway down the marshmallow, from the top:
Rotate the marshmallow, and cut halfway down the marshmallow again, creating an X-shaped cut in the top:
Now flip your marshmallow, and on a piece of waxed paper, (or clean surface,) smoosh that little bugger down with your finger. I smoosh down and wiggle it in little circles for about five seconds:
When flipped back over, it'll give your marshmallow the look of a piece of popcorn! You can mix it up a bit, cutting some marshmallows only once instead of twice, or into three sections in order to make the popcorn look varied.
To give your popcorn that 'buttered' look, you can brush it with some powdered food dye that can be purchased online. In a pinch, yellow Kool-Aid can also be used, but is not quite as vibrant. You can also brush on liquid food dye, but allow it to dry before eating, as nobody likes a soggy 'shmallow.
The buttering step is actually better done when the cupcakes are assembled, but I took the photograph at this point for some crazy reason. Just to confuse you I suppose.
Now that you've got all your marshmallows smooshed and your cupcakes baked, it's time to print out the cupcake wrappers. Download this PDF Printable, print them out onto some cardstock paper, then cut them out:
It's best to use a glossy paper, because the frosted cupcakes will touch the liner, and a non-glossy paper may develop grease stains from the buttercream.
Take one of your cupcakes and wrap the cupcake wrapper around it to see how big it should be. Stick the edge of the wrapper to itself using two-sided or regular clear tape. Use this one as a template for sizing the rest.
Pop your cupcakes into the wrappers. They should be nice and tight at the top so they don't shift around in the wrapper when picked up. You may need to press the cupcake down into the wrapper a bit with the palm of your hand. (The bottom of your cupcake and the bottom of the liner don't need to line up, so don't squish down too far.)
Next, frost your cupcakes with your choice of frosting. Anything lightly coloured is fine - a tub of store bought vanilla frosting would work great. I made a buttercream that I flavoured with Wilton Butter Flavour to really give them that 'popcorn' taste. You don't need too much frosting per cupcake, just about a 1/4 inch layer on top to adhere the marshmallows.
Press your prepared marshmallows into the frosting. They should be tight together so you barely see the frosting underneath. After completely covering the top in marshmallows, I smooshed them down with my palm so they made a nice, even mound on top of the cupcake.
Lastly, now is when you want to add the 'butter' by brushing on some yellow dye with a large, soft paintbrush. Heavy in some areas, none in others, just like real movie theatre popcorn.
And there you have 'em! Movie Night Cupcakes. Great for that Marvel Movie Marathon you're planning before going to see The Avengers this May.
Now, let's never fight again.
