Meet Paul Revere's pal, the Orthodox Jew who played a key role in laying Boston's cultural and business infrastructure By Michael Feldberg
Set a high standard for civic leadership and charity
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
While some colonial Jews experienced difficulty living both
as Jews and Americans, Boston's Moses Michael Hays
created a different experience. Boston's most prominent
18th-century Jewish citizen, Hays set a high standard for
civic leadership and charity. Without the companionship
and support of an organized Jewish community and
without legal guarantees of religious freedom, Hays
thrived in the "first circles" of Boston society while
publicly practicing his Judaism.
Moses Michael Hays was born in New York City in 1739 to
Dutch immigrants Judah Hays and Rebecca Michaels
Hays. Judah Hays took his son into his shipping and retail
business and, upon his death in 1764, left him the
business and largest share of his assets.
Judah Hays left Moses Michael Hays something else as
well: a firm grounding in his Jewish faith and
responsibilities. Moses served New York's Congregation
Shearith Israel as second parnas (vice-president) in 1766
and parnas in 1767. Even after moving to Boston, Moses
retained an attachment to Shearith Israel, appearing on
its donor list throughout his life.
In 1766, Moses married Rachel Myers, younger sister of
famed New York silversmith Myer Myers. In 1769, the
couple moved to Newport, Rhode Island, where Hays
continued his shipping business. Business reverses landed
Hays in debtor's prison but, under a 1771 reform law,
Hays liquidated his assets, gave them to his creditors
and was set free. He immediately reestablished himself in
the trans-Atlantic trade.
The American Revolution brought Hays a new challenge
as a Jew. In 1775, seventy-six men in Newport were
asked to sign a declaration of loyalty to the American
colonies that included the phrase, "upon the true faith of
a Christian." Hays publicly objected to the phrase and
refused to sign, instead offering a letter affirming his
belief that the Revolution was a just cause. When, after
much wrangling, the Christian portion of the oath was
omitted, Hays affixed his name.
Hays and his family left Newport for Boston ahead of the
British occupation in 1776. Hays opened a shipping office
in Boston and was among the first merchants there to
underwrite shipbuilding, trade and insurance to newly
opened Far Eastern markets. In 1784, Hays became a
founder and the first depositor of the Massachusetts
Bank, still doing business today as Fleet Bank
Corporation. With his close friend Paul Revere and
fourteen other Boston businessmen, Hays formed several
insurance companies.
The Hays family filled a large brick home with 15 rooms
and 31 windows in Boston's fashionable Middle (now
Hanover) Street. The Hayses had seven children and,
when Moses's widowed sister Reyna Touro died in 1787,
Moses and Rachel raised his young nephews and niece.
Samuel May, Louisa May Alcott's grandfather, was a
close childhood friend of the Hays and Touro children and
recalled "Uncle and Aunt Hays" for their pride in their
Moses Michael Hays died in 1805. His obituaries in the secular press remembered him as "a most valuable citizen . . . now secure in the bosom of his Father and our Father, of his G-d and our G-d." Hays lived his life successfully as an American and a Jew, accepted by the Boston community with respect as both.

If a CAFO animal, like a cow, were to show up at their Cow-doctor, would that cow be diagnosed as sick? I hear that all CAFO cows are obese, so i guess the question is a matter of 'How sick'? What sickness plagues CAFO animals the most? What treatments are given and how effective are they (for instance, antibiotics are common, right?)? Etc.

I want to say yes although apparently most cattle are slaughtered at less than 30 months (link). So they may not live long enough to fully develop the diseases they way many people do. It might be like the equivalent of a really unhealthy teenager or young adult. There is at least evidence that Paleo works for pigs.
"We performed a trial on 24 domestic pigs in which a cereal-free hunter-gatherer diet promoted significantly higher insulin sensitivity, lower diastolic blood pressure and lower C-reactive protein as compared to a cereal-based swine feed... A prospective observational study on intake of refined grains as part of a 'western diet' pattern showed a positive association with increased risk for type 2 diabetes."
I guess they have a lot of psychological problems first and foremost. Well documented is the abnormal behavior CAFO-pigs show. I haven't actually seen documentation like that for cows but then I have never looked for it. Certainly a very interesting topic.
I haven't looked much further than that but I know that diarrhea is a common problem with these animals due to bad/wrong nutrition.
As with "CAFO"-broilers just take a look at the images. Many can't even walk.
They're not necessarily sick, per se, but suffer from inadequate nutrition that leads to inflammation which ultimately over time will cause infectious disease to set in.

Fred_DM: i don't understand why you put GoG in the same category as Steam and Origin. GoG.com is not required in anyway to play the games you've purchased on there. you can buy games on GoG.com, back them up and never come back. install and play anytime anywhere whether GoG.com still exists or not.
I'm just talking about "account based game librarys". I like it, as I don't like keeping back ups. Edit: And Origin, for the most part, doesn't require you to be online neither, as does Steam. Shooter being "consolified" has been around since the Xbox hit the market (thanks a lot Halo :-( ! ). Shooters haven't been "a pure PC genre" since then. And yes it sucks big time.
Shooters are for the most part "mainstream games" for which publishers want the biggest, easiest target group imagninable, hence consoles.

Johnson: Win now attitude has Jets 'looking at a number' of players
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson confirmed Sunday that his team is interested in Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Jackson has been widely reported to be available for trade to NFL teams and is even rumored to be a potential cut for the Eagles.
While in Orlando for the NFL Annual Meeting, Johnson told reporters that the Jets are "looking at a number of players, including DeSean."
"[Jackson is] a very good player, but we're looking at a number of them," he said. "A trade is not our primary operating motif right now. We're trying to build through the draft. Building through the draft is something that I think is the way to build a successful team long term."
Unlike last year, when the Jets owner asked fans to give their new GM time, Johnson won't have the same request in 2014.
"I'm not going to use the word 'patient' anymore," Johnson stated. "We want to do it now. Our job is to perform for our audience and that's what we want to do."
When asked, Johnson did concede that bringing on a player like Jackson would come under the current "win now" mindframe. Johnson added "we're always interested in talent."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
This is good to hear that Johnson is expecting his front office and coaching staff to field a winning team in 2014. While we didn't expect them to say much else, signing players like Eric Decker and Mike Vick underscore that idea. Looking at a talented receiver like DeSean Jackson would be another, though such a move might come with problems all their own.For more on DeSean Jackson, read a tl;dr post I made earlier today here.
Idzik can't be happy with this. Reports & analysis today all pointed at Rex being in the cross-hairs after The Woodthing's comments. But a) Woody loves Rex; and b) Idzik's whole thing was looking long-term to create a dynasty-level organization.
Fat chance, John. Idzik is now the one with the target between the shoulder blades.
Welcome to the NFL fast lane John. Owners promise you whatever you want, and then shift with the breeze, leaving you hanging out to dry.
See, John, it's what rich, bored guys do.
I would like to say... Dis one.....And don't you guys forget it. I say it again ......Dis one.
Some of you complaining about the owner of the Jets having a "win now attitude" try being a Mets fan. Five straight losing seasons.
come on come on you're almost there johhnnnyy
DeSean will be a nice fit in Marty's offense. At the same time Idzik has Woody Johnsons ear as a voice of reason, If DeSean wants to much money. I'm sure cooler heads will prevail. All though would like Desean on the Jets. To me Desean is a #1a receiver and not a #1 receiver.
If they sign DJax and then draft BPA that is what Woody means by being able to win now while building through the draft for long term.
Signing DJax helps every piece of our offense. I think they are going to add a WR before the draft.
@jake100 if you aren't trying to make the playoffs the year after going 8-8 you shouldn't be owning an NFL franchise
@a57se Hasn't the story all ready been out there. Didn't Phili reporters and web sight discuss this openly.
@a57se Woody's comments tampering?
I consider it "whattya expect" comments.
Warmed over soup.
We want to build through the draft, we want to build for the long term, we want to build for now.
Wondering if Jackie Mason is his writer?
@a57se i dont know the exact rules but i cant see woody being that dumb...i think it would be tampering if he said we like djax and throw in something about paying him more than the eagles
@a57se I think so. But I wonder if he is provided cover by the fact they've been talking to the Eagles of DJax.
@MeAtBaLLPaRmX They'll be better than the past couple of years, I just want them to give the 5th job to Mejia and see what the kid's got. I do not need to see Dice-K throw 140 pitches in 4 2/3 innings of 3-5 run ball.
@williamg1 @a57se They shouldn't be. You're allowed to express interest in trading for a player, and you're allowed to give the same "We look at all the options and are interested in all talented players" talk that we've heard before from every owner. This is just beat writers fabricating a story because they don't have any real stories to write. You can contort his meaning so it sounds like tampering, but it's the same non-answer he practices in front of a mirror every day, and we shouldn't assume it means anything different now. If he had never said anything like this before, then maybe, but it's pre-written language designed to not say anything.
Also you have no idea how pissed I'd be if The Jets get penalized for this when the Bucs Told a newspaper that if Revis could force his way off the Jets than they would give him $16mil a year and everyone said that it was okay.
@Bernard Mclaughlin @Brendan @MeAtBaLLPaRmX
It was the best of times, and who knew championships would be so scarce after those years.
@Brendan @MeAtBaLLPaRmX I have been a jets fan since 1965, A Knicks fan since around 1959 and a Mets fan, switching from the Dodgers, since they day hey were formed. Somewhere around 1990, getting older and starting to feel the burden of crushing disappointment from these teams I stopped following the Mets. After the Ewing era, I sadly gave up on the Knicks, figuring the Jets were enough dashed hopes for any 50 yr old man. Now that I,m in my sixties, I feel drawn back to caring about the Mets and Knicks again, but quite frankly, how much can one sport fan bear in a lifetime, ....AHH BUT 1968-69
@Bent @juunit@Brendan@MeAtBaLLPaRmX
Ruh-roh. That's too many similarities between the Mets and Jets. We're all gonna die!
@juunit @Brendan @MeAtBaLLPaRmX I read this comment in isolation without context, thought you were talking about the Jets and worried for your sanity.
Mentioning "Colon" and "Dekker" didn't help.
IMO, Colon was the terrible signing. Dude is old and fat and sucked for years then suddenly got better at about the age of 40. So they gave him two years. That'll end in disaster. At least when Young sucks they'll eventually be able to call Puello up. Or even give den Dekker a shot. Stuck with Colon though.
I want him up now. Innings limits are such garbage. They will not be there for the wildcard. Their lineup is still horrendous. D'Arnaud is unproven, Ike and Duda suck, Murphy is good, not great, Tejada sucks, Wright is Wright, Lagares is great defensively, Young and Grandy are strike-out machines.
@MeAtBaLLPaRmX He will be, but he's going to be limited to like 150 innings. 2015 is the "jump" year, but this year they should be at least competitive for the #2 WC spot.
Also, if Chris Young decides not to suck balls I will happily eat my words about him being the biggest waste of a signing ever.
Better than the last couple of years still sucks. I want to see Noah up more than anybody.
@MeAtBaLLPaRmX but why trade picks to hopefully get a 1st round talent that slips to the 2nd or 3rd round?
why not just use the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks we already have and get 1st round talent with all 3. without the trades we have a better chance of getting the player/s we want.
@Bernard Mclaughlin @bob@MeAtBaLLPaRmX
I know that the Jets web sight pointed out that they are very aware of Zack Martin.
Yes good point however after the 5th pic may need some luck after that. I assuming that the practice squad will be full this year with later round draft pic.'s This year draft is loaded with really good player. unlike ant other draft in recent years.
@bob @MeAtBaLLPaRmX Great Pick, he could play either RT or RG , especially important with Vick on team now.
Two 2nd rounder's two 3rd rounder's and two 4th rounder's would be getting into the good beef part of the draft. that would be so cool.
@Marty Luc @MeAtBaLLPaRmX @bob Yes, but in a draft that is supposed to be the deepest in 30 years, why not get an extra pick? There will first round talent into the third round. Let's get as many as possible.
@MeAtBaLLPaRmX @bob the jets already have a dozen draft picks, why trade down to acquire more? they have enough holes so that if one player/position they covet is already taken, they can take another player/position to fill a different hole.
TE, safety, wr, o-line, olb, cb… are all areas that need upgrades. surely one of those areas can be addressed at 18.
I like Zack Martin that would be my choice. I wouldn't mind trading down. The Jets could have a trade maybe with dolphins for Martin because Arizona also may want martin at the Jets spot. there are 11 potential good wide receivers in the draft and 8 potential CB that mirrors the wide receivers also. I agree Drafting O-line would be really good.
@bob @MeAtBaLLPaRmX Ebron probably won't be there at 18. I'm hoping they trade down, pick up an extra pick, and draft OL and TE/WR in the second. Then again, i've played out like 20 scenarios in my head what we can do. It changes constantly, haha.
Ah ha I love it...
Jets really need to get that DeSean Jackson on the team.That would be great. Imagine Jackson and then Ebron.
@bob @MeAtBaLLPaRmX I'll cut a deal with you. If we land DeSean Jackson in the next few days, i'll give you a quarter of the hero.
@bob @MeAtBaLLPaRmX You've probably had like 20 snausages today. No meatball parm for you.
Ok then if its ok with you can I get a piece of that meatball sandwich. I like meatball sandwich.
@bklyndude @a57se @Monty Granito I doubt this happens. The only way it gets done is a trade. Judging by the way we hear Idzik operates, this is not his MO.
How exactly can D-Jax force the Eagles to release him, the Eagles have pretty much confirmed they don't want him. No team is willing to give up a draft pick for his current contract, otherwise a trade would be done.
Unless D-Jax is willing to restructure his contract, and he has said he won't, the Eagles will release him and take the 6m dead cap hit.
@a57se @bklyndudeI think a deal is in place already thats the only way this makes ant sense
@a57se @bklyndude Per Cimini:
"While it is rare for a team official, especially a team owner, to publicly comment on a player who is currently under contract with another team, Johnson made his comments at the site of the league meetings, which formally open Monday morning."
"Technically, by the letter of the rule, Johnson's comments could be considered tampering."
@rstysanchz @a57se
Never a good thing to comment on a player that's under contract to another team, but.......The Eagles have contacted a number of teams and initiated trade talks that have become public knowledge.
Confirming they are "looking at" a trade proposal would be a stretch in terms of tampering, especially in light of the fact the Eagles are also considering releasing D-Jax if he doesn't restructure his contract as a precursor to any trade.
@a57se i dont know it seems close but maybe by just saying "looking at" instead of "interested in" can mean 2 different things
@a57se @williamg1 But all that goes away once the team owning the player gives opposing teams rights to talk to the player, which they have as evidenced by the reports of D-Jax's rejecting the Jets and other teams about renegotiating his contract. I also think the papers or news source would have jumped all over and owner "tampering" and blown that uop as a huge story, especially the "circus' jets. oh well we'll see soon enough

Shares of Ares Capital (NASDAQ: ARCC ) moved higher yesterday after posting better than expected results.
Investors are flocking to business development companies -- or BDCs -- in search of high yields. It can be risky. Upstarts don't resort to paying high interest rates for financing through BDCs if they are stable enough to borrow at lower rates through more conventional lenders.
Ares now has investments in 152 companies with a weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities of 11.3%. Ares claims that its risk profile is improving, but you don't go that far out in chasing yield without taking a few chances along the way.
Ares is no small fry with $6.4 billion in assets. Its paper of choice is senior secured debt investments at 60% of its portfolio. That's followed by subordinated certificates at 21%, senior subordinated debt at 5%, and preferred equity at 4%. That leaves the 10% balance in equity and other securities.
Spreading out its risk across dozens of companies has paid off in the past. A bragging point at Ares is that it has reported net realized gains in eight of the past nine years since going public in 2004. However, investors should also know that they are paying $18.44 per share -- as of yesterday's close -- for a BDC with a net asset value (NAV) of $16.04 a share.
Income chasers will argue that the premium is worth it. They're fine overpaying for assets given the current 8.7% yield they are receiving.
Ares isn't the only BDC trading at a premium to its NAV. Prospect Capital (NASDAQ: PSEC ) trades at a modest premium to the $10.81 NAV it was sporting when the year began. Fifth Street Finance (NASDAQ: FSC ) trades at a slightly larger markup to its year-end NAV of $9.88 than Prospect Capital, but even Fifth Street Finance's 8% premium is just a little more than half of the 15% markup that Ares is presently commanding.
Investors know it. They accept it. It's not as if Ares is going to be liquidated tomorrow at NAV.
Heavily traded BDC American Capital (NASDAQ: ACAS ) actually trades at a healthy discount to its NAV, but it has a unique system in place where it buys back stock instead of paying out a dividend if its shares are trading below NAV. It may be a self-fulfilling prophecy, but it's been doing more repurchasing than cutting distribution checks.
As for Areas, it points out how aggressive central bank policies and investors chasing yields have resulted in plenty of liquidity but also riskier behavior in the credit markets. This may eat into the desirability of the risk-adjusted returns in the near term. Then again, if this also means that the economy is improving -- and the underlying investments of BDCs have greater chances to succeed -- settling for lower yet steadier yields wouldn't be such a bad trade-off.
Looking beyond the ABCs of BDCs
The best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria of the genus Brucella. These bacteria are primarily passed among animals, and they cause disease in many different vertebrates. Various Brucella species affect sheep, goats, cattle, deer, elk, pigs, dogs, and several other animals.

In humans brucellosis can cause a range of symptoms that are similar to the flu and may include fever, sweats, headaches, back pains, and physical weakness. Sever infections of the central nervous systems or lining of the heart may occur. Brucellosis cab also cause long-lasting or chronic symptoms that include recurrent fevers, joint pain, and fatigue.

Help with the modifications of my tube-amp
hi everyone.
I have bought a diy tube amp and I need to modify a couple of things. the schematic is attached. Thorsten loesch have given me a lot of help and mostly told me what to do. I need however guidance. I need to change: 1) The output tubes are 6.3V heater types, directly heated. There are a number of effects in directly heated tubes, that mean AC heating derived problem increase by the square of the Voltage. So while AC heating the 2A3 at 2.5V can work okay especially in a PP Amp, the problems are >20dB greater with 6B4 type valves. The sonic problems from AC include a warm, but muddy and not very detailed sound, often lacking subjective dynamics. One solution would be to change the heaters to DC (not straightforward, bad DC on directly heater tubes sounds even worse than bad AC, but in different ways). 2) The output transformers as said, are unsuited for operation without feedback by design. It would probably be a good idea to add some, around 10dB should help to open up the bandwidth. Can someone guide me with those mods? thanks |

Hi boy!!!
Look at this: AC heaters had been used for decades, so I don´t believe to be necessary to get DC on them. And the trouble is augmented if the same transformer is being used, because you must drop out the difference between the AC RMS voltage and the DC voltage (1.414 times greater). And second, the amplifier mus be designed to support NFB. The output transformer mainly, can cause a phase rotation that may cause the amplifier to convert into an oscillator.If the amplifier entirely has not be designed to NFB used, the phase rotations had not being into account, and may be impossible to use with NFB. Read some data in the web relative to NFB, and you surely will agree with me. Best regards and good luck!

You do have a problem with your filaments, however. You have both the output tubes and the front end tubes all connected to the same filament transformer. As such your 6V heater supply is being modulated by the output tubes through their cathode connection. You need to add a filament transformer for either the OP tubes or the front end tubes so that they are separate. Rod Coleman who posts on this board has voltage regulator kits for DHT filaments if you think that's what you need, but at least decouple the front end tubes from the OP tubes first. |

You can use a DC supply for the heater, but you'll find that all solutions require a higher DC input voltage than what you can get with a 6.3 V winding. Some regulators burn more power in the regulator than they deliver to the tube filaments -- something I've always found a bit silly. Hence, when I designed my DC filament regulator, I opted to use a switchmode supply. I have boards available on my website (see my signature). ~Tom

change the output tubes to 6a5G as this is a 2a3 indirectly heated.
and remove r13, r14 . change r11 and r12 to 100 ohms 1W change c6 to .1 uf 250V poly The best results with DHT I found is using a separate heater supply that is center tapped, and put the cathode circuit on the center tap. with your setup I would reuse the 1K resistors tied in parallel and bypass with the 220Uf cap and put a .22 uf poly or pio cap and maybe even another 220 uf cap just to lower the impedence of the AC ground (pathway through the capacitors). The trick is to find a good transformer that has been built nicely as the center tap has to be perfect. It easy to get there with a toroid type transformer. its about 1 out of 3 good hammonds if you want to hand pick a more traditional style transformer.

The A470 output transformer is good iron. I think the comment on them needing feedback is more a function of their original use on the ST70 which used pentodes for the finals. IIRC, you can replace the EL34's on an ST70 directly with 6B4G's and disconect the feedback entirely with good results. (Someone will comment if I am all wet on that.)

I'd use a 2x12 V 25 VA transformer from Antek Inc. with my regulator board... But I'm biased, obviously.
You could get a 2x6 V, 25 VA transformer and add a few windings to get to 6.3 V if you want to stick with AC heating. ~Tom

Evaluation of Plane Mirrors by Contrast Transfer
JOSA, Vol. 53, Issue 7, pp. 812-815 (1963)
Acrobat PDF (421 KB)
The capacity of a reflecting surface to transfer contrast is governed by two parameters, "figure," and microroughness. In the present study, highly polished surfaces were evaluated in terms of contrast or modulation transfer; it was found that only figure, not microroughness, accounts for a reduction in modulation transfer at higher spatial frequencies of object details.

New Delhi: There seems to be a leadership divide in the Congress. Party general secretary Digvijaya Singh continues to back Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi even as the Congress backs Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for a possible third term for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Digvijaya Singh, who is against the dual power structure, on Wednesday said he sticks to his stand, but added that he will also toe the party line. "I said what I had to say. But at the same time, I am a disciplined soldier of the Congress party and I shall obey the directives of the High Command. But I haven't ever taken back my words," Digvijaya said.
This comes even as the Congress leader janardhan Dwivedi maintained that the Sonia Gandhi-Manmohan Singh dual power structure has worked well suggesting that many in the party are backing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for a possible third term. Dwivedi said, "The relationship between Sonia Gandhi and the PM is a model for the future. The party will decide at a later time who will lead the 2014 election campaign. Manmohan Singh is the leader now and every one accepts him."
He further said that the Congress will announce who will lead the 2014 poll campaign later, but for now it is Manmohan Singh who is leading the government. CNN-IBN has learned that many in the party hope to make 2014 a Manmohan versus Modi battle instead of a Modi vs Rahul battle. Sources say that Congress President Sonia Gandhi is also not averse to a third term for Manmohan Singh.
Digvijaya Singh had recently said that the twin power structure did not work well and that Rahul Gandhi should not choose a prime minister in case the party formed a government after 2014 general elections. "I feel this model hasn't worked very well. There should not be two power centres. I think whoever is the prime minister must have the authority to function," Digvijaya Singh had said.
There has been speculation that Rahul Gandhi may choose a similar model if the Congress is able to form the next government at the centre in 2014, especially in the light of his utterances that the party, and not power, is his priority.

Dec 17, 2012A collection of average mechanics combine to make a big, complicated, pretty good game. It's no "Master of Magic", but there is real potential here.
Feb 4, 2013Fixes most of Elemental's technical and design problems, making it an addictively complex and rewarding strategy game.
Oct 25, 2012I like Fallen Enchantress. It's the closest anyone has come to producing the game I've been dreaming about since I was an adolescent with visions of wizards carving fantastical empires out of a hostile world. But as much as I feel like I should be head-over-heels in love with it, my 50-plus hours with the game leave me satisfied rather than ecstatic. Maybe some enterprising modder will use the included tools to expand on the base game's good parts while mitigating its issues and add a little soul to the mix. I'll gladly dump another 50 hours into Fallen Enchantress on that blessed day.
Dec 2, 2012Far from elemental, Fallen Enchantress will have you under her spell. [Dec 2012, p.78]
Oct 31, 2012Fallen Enchantress engenders a feeling of real accomplishment, without requiring the investment in time and study demanded by truly hardcore strategy titles.
Nov 16, 2012Its individual elements suffer from a "jack of all trades" mediocrity, but they combine to form a whole that hints at greatness without ever quite achieving it. But thanks to a set of mod tools included in the release, it's possible the devoted community itself can push it up that final step.
Dec 12, 2012Fallen Enchantress improves on the first Elemental game by leaps and bounds, but still fails to enchant. Heroes and armies are fun to play with, but the mediocre empire building lacks that something which really would hook you in. [Dec 2012]
Nov 21, 2012A smart, challenging strategy game with tons of depth.
Nov 13, 2012Quotation forthcoming.
Nov 23, 2012If it weren't for some very unfortunate flaws, Fallen Enchantress would have been a great game.
Oct 30, 2012It takes some getting used to, but in the end, Fallen Enchantress largely fulfills the promise of its genre-blending premise.
Nov 29, 2012It's not that Fallen Enchantress is isn't broken like it's predecessor War of Magic–it's just that it doesn't grab hold of you in the way that a 4X game should.
Nov 21, 2012I like a game that tries to combine several different gameplay styles, but the overall experience seems rushed and unpolished. It offers plenty of content and skills, yet doesn't seem to excel at any particular one. Elemental: Fallen Enchantress does a lot of things right but never truly delivers on any of them.

Shifting business strategy downstream to the market
By Joycelyn Williams
A competitive economy must have competitive companies producing goods and services that can compete in the global marketplace in terms of features, quality and price. There can be no competitive economy without competitive products.
Today's article is a discussion on this matter. In this era, downstream activities aimed at reducing customers' costs and risks are emerging as the drivers of value creation and sources of competitive advantage. Years ago, upstream activities such as sourcing, production and logistics were the main drivers of strategy. This change in strategic emphasis for business is something which all firms must recognise.
Downstream activities such as delivering a product or service for specific consumption circumstances are increasingly the reason customers choose one brand over another, and provide the basis for customer loyalty. Companies that do not recognise this, emphasise their products and production and measure success in terms of units moved and how efficiently it was produced. If this new thinking is right, all our companies must …..To continue reading, login or subscribe now.

This Week in Gadgets: Sony Head Gear and Other New Gadgets
Tue, 09/13/2011 - 16:31 — Andrew Eisner
Sony Head Gear and Other New Gadgets
Summer is over and it's time to get serious about work and school but that doesn't mean you can't spend some time checking out the latest technology to make your life more enjoyable. In that vein, here are some cool gadgets to consider.
TiVo Can Fill Your Days with HD Recordings
The new TiVo Premiere Elite whose price is still TBA (to be announced) can record up to four shows at once to a 2 TB hard drive which translates to 300 hours of HD programming. This TiVo also offers all the usual "connected" features like streaming movies, YouTube and more. You should be able to pick one of these up sometime in the next couple of months
A Colorful and Rugged
Coolpix Camera
Nikon has a new ruggedized point and shoot camera called the
Coolpix AW100
. It's a 16 MP camera that is good to 33 feet underwater and is resistant to drops, dust and extreme temperatures. It will also shoot 1080p video and costs around $380.
Sony's Immersive Display
You wear Sony's new display on your head and watch 3D high def video on OLED screens while you listen to virtual surround sound on the built-in ear pieces. The device is called the HMZ-T1 and will be available in Japan this November. The last time I tried something like this at a trade show it looked good but felt a bit heavy. Maybe Sony solved that problem.
Calling It What it Is…
It's called the Jawbone Nerd and is the latest Bluetooth headset to come out of the company that developed sound technology used by the U.S. military. The Nerd features that noise suppression technology and a USB Bluetooth dongle so you can use your headset for apps like Skype on your laptop. The Nerd costs around $140.
New Micro Four Third Lens From Panasonic
Micro Four Thirds cameras just got a big boost with Nikon announcing their own version but meanwhile you can pick up this lens for Lumix cameras that zooms from a wide angle 14 mm lens to a 42 mm one. Another zoom lens ranges from 45 -175 mm. They both boast of a Nano Surface coating (not sure what that is) that is supposed to make for sharper images.

TRURO – For the second straight game, the Truro Bearcats were on the wrong end of a Nova Scotia Scotia Senior Baseball League mercy-rule beating.
The Dartmouth Mooshead Dry waltzed into the Hubtown on Tuesday and left with a decisive 15-4 victory over the Bearcats in front of a scant crowd at the TAAC Grounds.
The loss dropped Truro to one game under .500 at 9-10, while league-leading Dartmouth improved its record to a blistering 17-3.
The Bearcats led 4-2 after three innings, however, the visitors put up four runs in the fourth, added another in the fifth and opened the floodgates with a six-run sixth inning.
Mark Phillips swatted a two-run homerun for the Moosehead Dry, while Chris Gallivan added a three-run double and Greg West chipped in a two-run double in the game that was called after seven innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.
Ryan Bates stroked an RBI triple for the Bearcats, while Darson Murphy and Mike Tobin each added two hits.
Cameron Marling (7-0) was the winning pitcher and John Chapman (4-4) suffered the loss.
The setback for the Bearcats came after a 16-2 loss to the Halifax Canadians on Sunday.
Truro hosts Halifax on Friday at the TAAC Grounds for a 7:30 p.m. start.

Comments about ADVENTURE MEDICAL KITS Ultralight 0.5 Solo First-Aid Kit:
I have this kit in my emergency preparedness go-bag. I also use it as my family day hike first aid kit. Whether it is a day hike in the Whites of NH, an overnighter in the AMC High Huts, the slot canyons of Zion in Utah, the rain-forest of Olympia National Park in the Pacific Northwest or hiking in the foothills of Mount Rainier. IT WEIGHS ALMOST NOTHING. YET, IT HAS THE ESSENTIALS, AS WELL AS, ROOM FOR EXPANSION AND CUSTOMIZATION. IT'S WATER PROOF. IT MAKES AN EXCELLENT BASE KIT. There is five of us and I almost never need it, but I am always glad I have it along for that rare occasion. It brings the whole family comfort knowing we have it with us for when the need arises.
I have added a couple of extra large bandages, band-aids, alcohol rubs, triple antibiotic and pain reliever meds. These add maybe one ounce to the kit, but makes it family practical or lengthens the useful duration of your adventure. I also bring along an ace bandage, though it doesn't fit in the first aid kit, it could be a real life saver in case someone sprains an ankle or worse!
You can't go wrong for the money!

Ducso, Cs. and Vazsonyi, E. and Adam, M. and Szabo, I. and Barsony, I. and Gardeniers, J.G.E. and Berg, A. van den (1997) Porous silicon bulk micromachining for thermally isolated membrane formation. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 60 (1-3). pp. 235-239. ISSN 0924-4247
Abstract: | A novel low thermal budget technique is proposed for the preparation of thermally isolated silicon membranes. The selective formation of porous silicon in a p-type silicon wafer results in an undercut profile below the implanted n-type silicon regions. The sacrificial porous layer is subsequently removed in a dilute KOH solution. A non-stoichiometric LPCVD nitride layer combination forms the suspension of the single-crystalline silicon membranes. This technique eliminates the need for epitaxial substrates and backside alignment, and proves to be very efficient in the realization of a high-temperature micro-hotplate operating with minimum power consumption for the purpose of integrated gas sensors. |

Starting Sept. 1, all targeting and bidding on Facebook rolls up to the ad set level. You can no longer do mixed targeting and mixed bidding.
In March, Facebook announced plans to simplify its advertising structure, breaking it down from campaign, to ad set to add. Facebook's Patricia Lai announced in the PMD News group recently that the company is moving forward on part 2 of this plan: moving targeting, placement and bid settings to the ad set level. That three-tiered structure will roll out globally Sept. 1.
Here's what Lai told members of the group :
In our updated interfaces, all NEW ad sets will define targeting, placement and bid settings at the ad set level. This does not change how our system optimizes; it only changes where these settings are defined. Comparing audiences, placements and bid settings across ad sets results in clearer and more meaningful insights. In our updated interfaces, advertisers will no longer be able to create ads with mixed targeting, placement or bidding within the same ad set, a common source of advertiser confusion. Ads will now be defined by your creative, leading to more clarity and predictability in regards to delivery.
In plain English:
You should group your ads by creative, not by audience.
So when you have a piece of content, you make an ad set for it, choosing multiple targets and a bid.
Then Facebook will make the individual ads for you and optimize.
Your existing ads will work just fine for now, but you'll need to migrate by January 2015.
For optimization pros:
Don't make ads by audience any more. The reason people did this was to prevent larger audiences from eating budget from smaller audiences.
Yet, the trade-off with this approach is that you'd have to create many, many ads for each creative.
Some notable pros have insisted that you create ads by audience, as they may have not understood that Facebook was in the process of implementing frequency capping , that creatives don't live forever, and that bidding is something that shouldn't be gameable.
When you have just one ad set per audience , you can easily turn off a creative in one place.
Let's say you're promoting an event, current news, or content that has an expiration date. If you had followed the advice of building ad sets by audience, you'd have to go kill each of those ads across multiple ad sets.
That would be crazy, unless you had Facebook ads API access to automate.
Look at Google AdWords. They break campaigns into something they intentionally call "ad groups", since it's by the ad (creative). Had they wanted you to organize by keywords, they'd call them "keyword groups," right?
While some people will complain about Facebook's announcement here — the optimizers who try to game the system in a SEO-like way and the people who complain about any sort of change — we see this as quite positive.
Facebook is doing the right thing to make our lives as advertisers easier.
Imagine we get to the point where we merely tell Facebook our various business goals and they automatically select what combinations of audiences to receive what content? Folks, we're not that far off. Optimized CPM gets a good part of the way there.
This will put a number of Facebook ad vendors (selling training courses and software) out of business, at least the ones that don't add vaue beyond just Facebook. But you knew this was going to happen.
