This comes down to two things in my opinion:
1) The general game design used for the majority of MMO's (raiding is not decay friendly imho).
2) Player conception/reaction
Ultima Online to me is a good example. I don't remember if there was a limit on number of repairs a smith could do to an item (or later the deeds they could make so non smith's could repair).
However, in early UO... item decay was basicly when you died... other players could loot you and npc's would loot you. Granted if you could find the monster you might get your stuff back or if you killed the player you might.. but people obviously lost stuff.
Now I know a lot of people who just raged and quit over losing... complete crap. I mean my entire guild quit when our tower got looted and really it was just chests full of crap.. complete junk. (now maybe you get why I say raiding MMO's are not a good design currently for decay because those items aren't really junk.. but anyway..)
The thing was in UO I crafted everything I used. I didn't care if I died and was looted because I had 5 to 6 complete setups in my bank... go to bank grab bag open bag... equip armor/weapon etc good to go... small selection of regs everything I needed. Total loss of items on death was such a small amount even if you had to buy the gear.
I sold gimp suits as we later called them .. complete with a weapon of every type and a shield for like 2500 gold. 2500 gold in UO did not take long to make... and my vendor became like a full time job but I had gold stored everywhere.
You need a game that is basicly designed with player crafting in mind in order to have decay. Now UO early on had "magic items" like armor of invuln and weapons of vanq... but I never felt at a handicap in PvP when I was using my crafted stuff... I didn't really die that often in UO after about the first month.
The problem with most games after UO that had good crafting... was the way it worked.
Two examples...
Star Wars Galaxies and Dark Age of Camelot.
In SWG because of the multitude of resource quality... having to replace your prized weapon/armor... was almost as bad as a raiding game. Simply because if you broke something... you might find that the only replacements for sale were junk in comparison. This is why in my opinion... having resources that spawn at various quality levels is a bad idea.
In DAoC I remember when I got my reaver to 50... and someone was telling me how much a suit of chain mail would cost.. how much it would cost to spell craft it... and to be honest I'd never had that much plat in the game to begin with. The idea here being... when it cost so much in game money to get an item made... that the national debt of the US seems small in comparison... something is wrong with your design.
The problem overall is... so you design a game with a good crafting system and you can have item decay. Except the majority of your potential player base is used to forming up their "leet" guild and being able to raid for the best stuff... so what exactly do you raid for? Because... if you make crafting raid related.. then you are going to fall into one of the traps previously mentioned... like having it be so hard to replace gear that people would rather quit then deal with decay..
Sorry for the wall of text but that's pretty much how i see the market.
Now if you had a developer that could make a game and be happy with a concurrent subscriber number of 200,000 to 300,000... (obviously that's a guess on my part lolz..) then you might get that game made...
Which I guess leads to another problem... most companies that would make that game... are so underfunded or clueless... I wouldn't want to play the game personally... even tho the general idea is what I am looking for in an MMO.
Moderator's on this site allow certain posters to create endless troll threads. Yet "warn" people for giving recommendations... account *pending* deletion because.. why bother.
i woudlnt say its not appropriate. if we disregard gameplay mechanics because they dont "fit" mmorpgs will just continue ot be clones. item decay is a different reward mechanic that could be implemented and i think it would be much better. it actually allows casual players a chance to compete with jobless basement dwellers <<-- isnt this the latest trend?. i think this mechanic is superior to bound items as it is
1. casual friendly from a time perspective
2. allows for a player economy and thus greater gameplay depth
it seems the industry is trying to move away from time based rewards but they are doing it wrong by making things too easy and implementing stupid systems like rested EXP.

If that was true, then a DnD campaign wouldn't have been about mapping through unknown paths, disarming traps, outwitting or defeating your enemy, and getting to the goal alive. What RPG was ever about the time spent?
If DnD had been invented by today's gamers, the dungeon would be two 10x10 rooms. The first one for the party to spin in place and constantly roll for random encounters, and the second room to pop open filled with purple loot after their dizzied characters reached the level cap in the first one.

A small group of elite players will tackle the hardest content, and less-skilled players will farm easier content for those elite players in exchange for elite player's rare drops.

its just about getting it right
say on average a set of gear lasts 5 raids . therefore a 20 man raid will need to farm 20 sets of gear in 5 raids in order to continue raid progression.
1. if they perform poorly in the raids they will acquire enough mats to gear up their whole raid group and progressing to the next tier raid would be risky/difficult and they might have to redo a current tier/lower teir raid until they are geared.
2. if they succeed they will most likely have a fair chance of success with the next higher tier raid. they might even have some surplus mats as back or to sell on the market.
this flow is fairly similar to what happens with bound item systems except it allows for a player economy and the ability to acquire raid quality gear through trade. people who dont like raiding can whatever they like doing and receive good rewards. players will not be forced to raid. if you dont like non raiders getting raid gear, well then its up to you to not sell your raid gear on the market.

1. by "less skilled" you mean someone who doesnt raid? in my opinion raiding is a skillless gear fest. raid PVE offers little challenge compared to PVP.
1. i highly doubt that "less skilled" players would be able to farm anything of worth of value to a raider. i also dont think raiders will have much raid gear to spare considering they will have to requip themselves due to decay.
2. if the non raider does manage to acquire enough capital by say for example playing the market (in my opinion this requires 10x the amount of brain a raider uses) well props to him, he deserves whatever people are willing to sell to him based what he can offer.

Decay is a holistic tool and it has its place in every mmorpg that offers both combat and social/economic gameplay. Its not really about thempark vs sandbox but keeping your game working well in the short, medium and longterm. :)
In a raid based or level based game, imagine you were to go get this really awesome suit of pwnage, and if you never lost it? what reason would you have to go do that raid again or any other? Ok, you can go do it again to help someone else get it, like a guildee for instance, then you have two people who never have to run that raid again and so on and so on. Raids are finite gameplay as well, its not an unlimited pool of gameplay you can tap into all the time. People get sick of it when its easy to do, easy to find and complete and raids do not make up 99% of the gaming experience, if they do, then a designer should consider just wtf he is doing with his game because at that point, raiding is a friggin job, a chore. Dont be misled.
In terms of what it brings to crafting, it provides meaning for the craft. You craft to sell goods, you sell goods to make currency and you cant sell goods if everyone has them already. So people need to think in terms of game replayability too. It has nothing to do with some silly punishment, it has nothing to do with chores or fun, it has nothing to do with level vs skill, its about controlling the entry and exit of items and providing a sustainable gameplay model.
If youre having problems with fun in your mmo, its not going to be because of decay. Its probably because your gameplay is just boring anyway.

Items do not decay in Eve as you use them. Not unless you are overheating. And repair fees only rarely go to any player. You can't even target a specific system of the ship, like enemy's engines for example, like in some other games. In Eve, players lose their ship and some of the stuff they had in it gets destroyed. There is no item decay.

That's what he said - "items get destroyed and must be replaced." Since the market is almost entirely comprised of player-made goods, it fuels manufacturing as there is always a market for the goods, including those that low level crafters can make. Whether decay or destruction, they are both parts of the same goal the OP is describing, which is the removal of crafted goods from the system to support the crafting side of gameplay.

"Well i make a distinction between decay and destruction.

Agreed. Either can be used to reach the OP's goal, which is to promote/support crafting.

no one here is saying make a game like the real world. if incorporating aspects of the real world into a game can improve the game then do it.
example1: item decay + proper economy.
example2: bullet drop in first person shooters
from yoour previous post i dont think you understand how item decay works. essentially an item has a durability. once this durability is exhausted the item is destroyed. repairs do not stop the items destruction but can prolong the items life by a short amount. items do not break due to a random event or people slacking on repairs.

He made a statement that without item decay market becomes stagnant. His only argument in favor of this statement was that much of real life economy relies on things deteriorating and that argument is ridiculous - and I gave examples showing that. More often than not, real life translates badly to videogames.
I do get item decay. You can have decay without destroying the item. Just as you can have destruction without decay. I'm sure you don't need examples of this. Item decay does not promote crafting as much as item destruction does. As its been implemented in the past, item decay is also a major source of annoyance for many players so I do not recommend using it as a means to promote crafting.

People just hate the fact they can loose their items, and they watch only the negative aspects of it, like the fact you'll be without weapon in a middle of a fight which is really easy for a dev to not make it happen. But they are a lot of benefit from item breaking, or more generally item consumption that is a much more general aspect. Uo had a good wear and tears system, with some rare deed that could make something unbreakable, rare enough so that people couldn't afford more than one or 2 unbreakable items. Imo that was a good option. I also love the item quality feature H&H have, i think mmo would get a lot if they implement item quality too.

Gear Question
Is the fabric on the sides of the legs...
Is the fabric on the sides of the legs thinner so that it is a bit see through? I really don't like shorts that even a little see through, but there may be those out there that do, just wondering.
The legs are not see-through. The color on the legs is a lighter shade (charcoal grey) compared to the rest of the bibs. Also, that same section has a white inner color.

Hey all,
I have a very very good Stanley 608 (corrugated bottom) for sale, with both the original blade and a Hock blade and breaker. I found the 608 a bit large for my work (mostly small scale furniture stuff), so I'm switching to a #7.
The plane works perfectly, especially with the Hock iron and breaker. I've used it to flatten my bench and a few table tops, but otherwise it's not seen hard use.
The bottom has some minor pitting, mostly in front of the mouth and at the toe, but it doesn't interfere with the operation of the plane.
No cracks or fractures on the body, knob and tote are in perfect condition. Cap iron and lateral adjuster are in good condition and work just fine.
Pictures available on request.

When you leave the military, the biggest question is "what's next?" It's a scary job market right now, but the skills you've received in the military make you highly marketable. The Legion sponsors dozens of veterans hiring fairs each year, and our employment experts also provide tips to writing resumes, networking and making a strong impression in the interview process.
The American Legion welcomes veteran entrepreneurs, business owners, contractors and any veterans interested in business to Indianapolis for its annual National Convention Business Conference, held at the downtown Marriott Hotel Ballroom on Aug. 27-28 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The conference brings together veterans from all arenas and industries of the business world for a free match-making and training event.
Speakers from the public and private sectors will present and offer hands-on training sessions. The lineup currently includes officials from the U.S. Small Business Administration, Clark Construction, the departments of Veterans Affairs, Defense, Labor and Homeland Security, along with other professional trainers, senior federal executives, contracting experts and seasoned veteran business owners.
Members of The American Legion's Small Business Task Force, which is hosting the conference, also will provide assistance in the training sessions. Attendees will receive the most up-to-date information available, and local federal offices will be on-hand to provide direct assistance to companies who attend.
The conference is free, but space is limited. Those interested in attending are encouraged to register as soon as possible, as the event always reaches capacity. Registration can be found here.

Carries a wide range of products at one trusted place
House is the place where you come to after facing tough challenges all day long. It is the place where you can be yourself; you don't have to be presentable or geared up to impress someone. You can wear anything you feel comfortable in and lie down anywhere you find solace and comfort. This is not it your house symbolizes your wealth, society and culture. Then why not to give it a more modish and contemporary look, whether it is the living room, bedroom or even the bathroom.

In the scenic town of Siena, the resident mortal remains take an even more morbid turn.
The only catch—he never mined a thing and the tunnel led to a scenic ledge.
I do tons of writing that is not yet scenic but more schematic.
1620s, "of or belonging to the stage or drama, theatrical," from French scénique (14c.) and directly from Latin scaenicus "dramatic, theatrical," from Greek skenikos, from skene (see scene). Meaning "of or belonging to natural scenery" is recorded from 1842. Of roads, etc., "offering fine views," recorded since 1885. Scenic railway is recorded from 1886. Related: Scenically.

I certainly do support the Red Cross (OP) and hope we all will. Our church is also helping too. I hope that in time as those in the East do eventually have their needs tended too they find a level of human comfort in the gift of a camera others are offering here.

I might be a homer but I have a good feeling about this team, we have a LOT of guys with experience coming back and one of the best coaching staffs.
If we get any kind of QB play, we'll be a potential top 10 team, no I mean that seriously. Our defense has a chance to be one of the best out there, whenever we've had great defensive teams we were a top ten team.
Remember that Utah has a new QB this year, I'm not sure that game is the sure loss some might think it is, a win there and we're off to the races IMO.

|Great points
I wouldn't mind seeing MSU in the opposite division, we usually play them in the middle of the season so it would be a few weeks before a potential rematch in the B1G CG.
I think Nebraska wil start to like being in the B1G way more now due to them being in a weaker division on paper, that will probably be true in most years, This way they will think they have a good chance of being the West Div. representative most years with only Wisc and a sometimes Iowa or whomever might be decent in a particular year.

|With Nebraska in the other division now
We wouldn't play them that often anyway, if they do leave, the West Division would only weaken even more and Delaney would need to address the lack of balance of power.. As it is now, we have a lack of balance even with Neb., can you imagine if they leave, it would be even more of a joke.
Either we would have to kick some school out or invite another school that can compete year in and year out, who is out there to be able to do that?

Gifts for your Gleek, other die-hard TV fans
It's the holidays and you're staring down your gift list when it dawns on you: TV!
We've all got a die-hard fan of one show or another to buy for, so go for the easy peasy with a screen-inspired gift:
Booze, smokes, adultery. Nothing says the holidays like the '60s ad agency megahit on AMC.
- You heard about it on the show, now read it for yourself: "Sterling's Gold: Wit & Wisdom of an Ad Man," observations from Roger Sterling Jr. It's a fresh offering that Grove Press published under the character's name, keeping mum about the real writer. A Sterling pearl: "When a man gets to a point in his life when his name's on the building, he can get an unnatural sense of entitlement."
- There's also the stylish "Mad Men: The Illustrated World" by Dyna Moe from Penguin imprint Perigee Trade. Tips for the perfect bouffant, paper dolls that include Joan, hangover remedies, inside jokes. Great for the coffee table.
- For him: Sterling silver tie bar by David Donahue at Nordstrom. Narrow with etched stripes on the front.
- For her: The gold ruby glass Art Deco beverage set with roly poly glasses at Retroartglass.com, or choose your own '60s-inspired martini set from a few notables at Servedraw.com or on eBay.
For your favorite Gleek, because excess is important.
- Glee Karaoke Revolution for Wii. Sing your faves from the first season, perform with characters from the show, compete against friends, but don't forget the add-on, the Wii Karaoke Microphone. Cardinal Industries has a CD board game for all ages, called, um, "Glee, CD Board Game."
- The cast has a new Christmas album ahead of the second season's special for the holidays to air Dec. 7, "Glee, the Music, the Christmas Album." Twelve mostly classic holiday nuts in all, including k.d. lang channeling Dr. Seuss for "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch."
- There's a licensed clothing line from T-shirts to tracksuits sold exclusively at Macy's, but why not wing it with a fun outfit for your fan - inspired by but not branded for the Fox smash. Coolspotters.com has some suggestions.
- Claire's began selling Glee accessories in September for younger fans. Choose from necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, hats, cosmetics, legwear, bags (there's one that says "Kiss My Glee"), wallets and paper goods. Tons more available elsewhere - enough to put together a Glee gift basket padded with pom poms, a football or a megaphone.

text: Today's Lead: Thompson Faces Pressure to Bow Out by David Howard King, Sep 12, 2013 Twitter New York City's Democratic power brokers moved quickly after Tuesday's primary to pressure second-place finisher Bill Thompson to avoid a runoff with first-place finisher Bill de Blasio. "I don't think there's much appetite within the Democratic Party to have a fight here," Merryl Tisch, Thompson's campaign chair, told The New York Times. Rev. Al Sharpton also encouraged Thompson to abandon his bid. De Blasio finished election night with 40.3 percent of the vote--just over the threshold to avoid a runoff but paper ballots have yet to be tallied. Thompson has said he wants to make sure every vote is counted but the city's board of election won't begin counting paper ballots until next week. Labor groups quickly moved to consolidate their support around de Blasio on Wednesday. Republican mayoral candidate Joe Lhota would likely benefit from a bruising runoff battle between Thompson and de Blasio.

Really, up 5 times already tonight
Comments (3)
Bug (2.5 y)
Bear (4 m)
There is a Wonder Week around this age. My LO is in the middle of it at the moment. When my LO was younger and would go thru one of these "WW" or "growth spurts" his night time sleep would be affected. Around 6 months we had to sleep train due to him being up EVERY 30-45 mins ALL night and only napping 20-33 mins. Now, when he goes thru one of these spurts, he might wake for a few mins, but he is calm and puts himself back to sleep without us having to intervene. Thank goodness we sleep trained (something I said I'd never do, until no one was sleeping all night) b/c now he doesn't cry and need us to put him back to sleep throughout the night. You don't have to sleep train, but this is one of the worst growth spurts from what I've read, as far as how long it last. I'll google and see if I can find info for you. They have so much going on developmentally its hard for them to sleep through...
not sure if this will come up for you, if not google Wonder Week 55
HUGS hope you get some sleep soon. It's hard when momma doesn't get sleep either...

I am trying to extract semantics from graphical xy plots where the points are plotted and some or all have a label. The label is plotted "near the point" so that a human can normally understand which label goes with which point. For example in this plot it is clear which label(number) belongs to which point(*) and an algorithm based on Euclidian distance would work. (The labels and points have no semantic ordering - e.g. a scatterplot)
In congested plots the authoring software/human may place the label in different directions to avoid overlap. For example in
A human reader can normally work out which label is associated with which label.
One solution I'd accept would be to create a Euclidean distance matrix and shuffle the rows to get the minimum of a function (e.g. the summed squares of the distances on the diagonal or other heuristic). In the second example (with the points labelled a,b,c,d clockwise from the NW corner) we have a distance matrix (to 1 d.p.)
a b c d
1ab2 1 1.0 2.0 2.2 1.4
dc4 2 2.0 1.0 1.4 2.2
3 3 2.0 2.2 1.4 1.0
4 2.2 1.4 1.0 2.0
and we need to label
a1 b2 c4 d3. Swapping rows 3 and 4 gives the minimum sum of the diagonal. Here's a more complex example where simply picking the nearest may fail
3 *6
If this is solved then I shall need to go to cases where the number of labels may be smaller or larger than the number of points.
If the algorithm is standard than I would appreciate a pointer to Open Source Java (e.g. JAMA or Apache maths)
NOTE: This SO answer Associating nearby points with a path doesn't quite work as an answer because the path through the points is given.

49=. Tom Watson, Politician
Before last July, Watson wasn't widely known outside political circles. His dogged pursuit of News International – before and during the great phone-hacking scandal – has made him one of Labour's few household name backbenchers, and Twitter has played a crucial part in this. The medium has been Watson's weapon of choice for a war of relentless attrition against the Murdoch empire, and relatively little of his output (apart from one rogue tweet by an intern) concerns subject matter beyond the scope of the Leveson Inquiry, the output of the remaining News International titles and the legacy of the scandal.

PITTSBURGH—Vitamin D deficiency was associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and may contribute to the strong racial disparity in the prevalence of BV, according to a study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (J Nutr. 2009). Women (n=469) enrolled in a pregnancy cohort study at less than 16 weeks, underwent a pelvic examination and provided a blood sample for determination of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Approximately 41 percent of women had BV and 52 percent had a serum 25(OH)D concentration less than 37.5 nmol/L. The mean unadjusted serum 25(OH)D concentration was lower among BV cases compared with women with normal vaginal flora. BV prevalence decreased as vitamin D status improved (P<0.001). Approximately 57 percent of the women with a serum 25(OH)D concentration less than 20 nmol/L had BV compared with 23 percent of women with a serum 25(OH)D concentration more than 80 nmol/L. There was a dose-response association between 25(OH)D and the prevalence of BV. The prevalence declined as 25(OH)D increased to 80 nmol/L, then reached a plateau. Compared with a serum 25(OH)D concentration of 75 nmol/L, there were 1.65-fold and 1.26-fold increases in the prevalence of BV associated with a serum 25(OH)D concentration of 20 and 50 nmol/L, respectively, after adjustment for race and sexually transmitted diseases.

Are you translating after you rotated?
To archive your spaceships rotation, you'd need the following order of transformations (I don't know if this order has a name):
(Rotate -> Scale) -> Translate
The first two can be switched.
So rotate it around 0,0,0
Then scale it if needed
Then translate it to xyz, then it looks like it rotated around itself. Though the center of the vertices/the center of the spaceships model must be around 0,0,0, in terms of vertices.
Hope this helps.

Where can i capture log for Tape drive going Down and PEND-TLD
Please just don't tell me to check in bptm and /var/adm/messages..i couldn't find them there..also,i will appreciate if someone pls can paste the o/p of how they actually looks..i have to create a script so that this data can be captured and sent to monitoring guys..this o/p is exactly what i am looking for.
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Those files are THE ONLY WAY!
First of all - ensure that VERBOSE entry exists in vm.conf on all media servers and that NBU is restarted on media servers to enable logging to OS syslog.
If you post YOUR media server(s) messages file(s) and bptm log(s), we will help you to identify issues in your environment.
It does not help you one bit if we share our error messages.....

i got that Marianne actually i just wanted to see how those error logs look like so that i can tell my OS guys to create a script that will grep 'something' from that content and send us an alert message whenever that happens..also i am not planning to keep my versbosity high so does that mean i will never be able to get those log messages ?
I don't know what they look like because there are many reasons that drives can go down.
If you look at the details for the job in activity monitor you may get an idea of the time the problem happens, so you know about where to look in the log.
If shouldn't be difficult - if you look for the work mount or mounting and check that the tape listed matches the tape shown in activity, you could pull at the lines for that PID , which will shorten things.
Alternatively you could start by looking for lines containing <16> or <8> (doesn't always work though ... but should for a drive going down).
The exact time the drive goes down will be found in ltid, as this is the process taht actually downs the drive, but the reason will be in bptm and hopfully messages. You could also enable the debug log tpcommand and robots. (/usr/openv/volmgr/debug/robots and tpcommand) . If you stick VERBOSE in vm.conf this will show more info, and to get the max amount create the empty file DRIVE_DEBUG in volmgr dir.
Waste of time trying to script this, it would only work for that exact cause, and we don;t now that until we see it anyway. Trust me, if this could be scripted I would have done it ages ago ...
Verbosity of bptm higher that 0 is only required if Symantec Support needs level 5 logs, but I firmly believe that VERBOSE entry in vm.conf is ALWAYS needed. No way to troubleshoot DOWN drives without it.
There are so many reasons for drives being DOWN'ed.
I always look for the word DOWN in messages, then look at the lines in messages file leading up to drive being DOWN'ed.
If you have seen some of these entries, you will understand that this cannot really be automated.

Agree with Mariannes excellent points ...
I always run volmgr logs with VERBOSE in vm.conf and with the debug touchfiles in place - yes, these days I only 'run' test servers (Symantec support don't run Symantecs own 'real' backup servers ) but even test servers go wrong and need attention sometimes - and if that happens I want to be sure I have the right info in the logs, I don;t want to be having to set logs and then wait for the issue to happen again to capture the info i need to fix it.
I strongly believe that log size should be part of the system design - many people don;t consider it, and then have no ability to turn the logs up to any decent level to troubleshoot an issue, which can mean it cannot be fixed until the log issue is resolved by some means.
Anyway, back to topic.
If there are drive issues, they should also be logged in :
If you search for :
"tperr.sh download'"
in google you will be able to make some sense of the file - it should narrow down any potential issues with particular drives or media.
Please note, it will only work on Solaris.
It works on statistics, so the more lines in there the better.

4 Discerning Step to Have More Persuasive Facebook Posts
If there is a concept in your mind that you would like to share on Facebook, it will be talked about for a particular day. You must have known that this probable post can boost your business. Your possible customers will think it will be shrewd, yet it is a way to be professional. Afterwich, nothing will likely happen. If there's no likes, shares and even comments it might not be what you have in mind. Is there any mistake? Is this about something you wrote? Is it about the way it was composed or is it about the images linked to the post. There are tricks to come up with a perfect Facebook post, there are also some elements coming up that can also improve the engagement and assessment of the viewers. There are 4 tips to bear in mind to come up with very persuasive posts before you click once again.
Ways to make persuasive Facebook posts
- Make it clutter free
This is not about the language, but the image. Having clean photos to post on Facebook is one of the best ways to gather responsive viewers. If there is a powerful headline to introduce the photos and they are very inviting, there will be much superior communication. The photos must look natural, this is essential to have a flawless post on social media sites and not just on Facebook. The photos shared on Facebook do not need to be perfect though. If you want to have double exposure on your posts on Facebook than connect your Facebook account with your Instagram profile and get likes and posible followers from your Instagram audience too. If you want to make sure that you get the maximum out of your posts than buy likes on Instagram or even buy Instagram followers to make your profile look more legit.
According to a digital marketing and social media expert, when sharing photos on Facebook, there must be visual elements too, that are powerful enough to boost the engagement of the users accordingly. The truth is that it will be best if the photos are not good enough, since it will add up to a human element. Exaggeratedly modified pictures will raise a red flag to viewers. You may also share the post on Instagram to get some extra exposure. The best to promote your posts on Instagram is using a professiona social media company, where you can buy instagram followers.
Individuals purchase from people and not from brands. This means sharing a content from another owner or brand, company are an essential part of social technique. It will be fine if there may be instances wherein you cannot come up with an outstanding visual content.
- Make it real
Pictures, emphasizing thrilling corporate culture will do the best for the companies on Facebook. The photos, sound for 3 different kinds of viewers and these are the customer, present employers and candidates as well wishing to join the group. Photos portraying fun and food can provide people with an idea of how it's like to work in a firm.
Some of the current activities as posted on Facebook turns to be a good source of discussion and they are also cited in an interview by applicants. If your album is like this, they will be effective in persuading more Facebook posts for technology based firms, since they do not always see the buyers daily. The kinds of images that will work best on Facebook are real pictures and not just images made using photoshop.
- Make them hooked
If you are engaged in the automotive industry, you can list down some points like a red, sports car will be the primary graphic and it will get more attention if the red car you have posted has taken the attention of more people with more likes than the greenest car you have posted. If you know how to catch the eye of your customers, you will be able to capture their clicks too. Regardless what your business is, looking for ways to show it in more vibrant colors can keep the Facebook users engaged.
If you really wish to capture the attention of Facebook users, your Facebook page must not look like an ad. It must look natural for the viewer's capture their attention.

The incident took place just before midnight on Saturday after locals in Larkana district alleged that Sangeet Kumar, 42, had torn out pages of Islam's holy book and tossed them down on the street from the roof of his home.
"Our Dharamshala (community centre) has been gutted and the temple has been partially damaged," Kalpana Devi, chairman of the local Hindu committee, told reporters.
"All the statues have been destroyed by the attackers," she added.
Hundreds of students from local Islamic seminaries attacked the temple holding batons, one witness said. Police arrived quickly to protect Kumar from the angry crowd.
"They acted smartly and took him out after making him put on a police uniform to save him from the wrath of the crowd," the witness said.

[[quoteright:350:[[TheGreatDepression http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/standing-in-line-for-free-food-bread-line_1135.jpg]]]]
Happy families frolicking on a beach as a cute little jingle plays in the background. Grinning supermodels moonily discussing how wonderful the product is. A cheerful, paternal-sounding announcer going on about how its makers are dedicated to improving your life. It seems like a normal, saccharine-sweet ad.
...Until, of course, we pan out to see it playing on a flickering TV in the middle of a war zone, displayed on a rotting billboard in a GhostCity, or being beamed into the minds of some [[CityNoir grim]] {{Dystopia}}'s residents.
The ad will (almost) always be for the MegaCorp that caused the whole mess in the first place, especially if this is a CyberPunk work.
As you see above, it's a definite TruthInTelevision. For examples from ThisVeryWiki, see AdOfWin and AdOfLose.
[[folder: Film ]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VnIrXmdYhY Used with depressing effectiveness]] in ''Film/ChildrenOfMen''.
* This was the trailer for ''Film/ResidentEvilExtinction''.
* ''Series/PenniesFromHeaven'' is all about this trope, starring Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters, in a comedy about how during the Depression, movies just portrayed everyone as rich, happy-- and DANCING.
* The publicity ad for Shell Beach in ''Film/DarkCity.'' It is one of the few happy and bright images in the entire movie, where the city is [[CaptainObvious dark]] and run down. It gets truly dissonant because while the main character and his uncle remember growing up and living there, no one knows how to get there. Turns out [[spoiler: the [[RealityWarper reality warping]] aliens have implanted FakeMemories of the place in everyone, ''it never existed!'']]
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial "The Armageddon Factor" opens with a PatrioticFervor speech between young lovers that turns out to be a soap opera being shown on a war ravaged world.
* ''Series/AufWiedersehenPet'' featured this in its first title sequence with one of the characters walking towards the dole office in front of Saatchi & Saatchi's famous 'Labour isn't working' poster.
[[folder: Tabletop RPG ]]
* ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' adventure ''Double Exposure''. One illustration had a billboard for Project Hope, with a happy family and the words "The Bravest Future". Under the billboard some Project Hope goons are giving a man a bloody beating.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* The various posters in ''VideoGame/BioShock1''. The special edition of ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' even comes with some print outs of them [[spoiler: with hidden messages printed in UV ink on the front]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'', especially in the areas added by Secret Armory of General Knoxx has optimistic, 20's style billboards advertising settlement on [[DeathWorld Pandora]].
* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series uses this trope on more than one level; not only do the ads provide a blackly comic contrast to the post-apocalyptic wasteland, it's also made rather obvious that they were also rather at odds with the reality of everyday life ''before'' the war.
[[folder: Web Comics ]]
* Somewhere in ''Webcomic/TheEnds'', which happens in good part in the eponymous hellhole city, there is billboard advertising the legendary city of Avalon, that people are looking for. It's a stark contrast. [[spoiler:The Ends is actually the ruins of Avalon.]]
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}}'' does this with holographic billboards on Earth, and uses them to detail the movie's backstory. Pixar then took it UpToEleven by giving Buy-N-Large it's own functional website, which expands on said backstory and is packed with black humor/social commentary worthy of TheOnion.
[[folder: Real Life ]]
* Pretty much any slum, urban war zone, or disaster area with billboards will fall into this trope.
* The above page image is a good example. Doubly so when you consider the racial situation at the time.
* Modern [[TheNewRussia Russia]] ''IS'' this trope.
** Has anyone else seen the {{DVD}}s you can get of old Russian propaganda cartoons? Try watching "Plus Electrification Now" while also picturing Russia of the 70s. Ouch.
** Turning propaganda into HypocriticalHumor this way became a canonical part of the RussianHumour.
---> A kindergarten teacher expounds on how cool it is to live in Soviet Union. One of kids starts to cry.
---> '''governess''': What's up, Vovochka?
---> '''kid''': I want to go to Soviet Unio-o-on!
* As long as we're talking about a real life section, North Korea beats Russia, [[http://bigthink.com/strange-maps/218-koreas-dark-half hands]] [[strike:[[http://www.filination.com/blog/2006/07/29/a-peek-into-north-korea/ down]]]] [[http://www.north-korea-travel.com/north-korea-information.html raised in salute to the wise leader Kim Jong Il!]]
* Often happens online because of the keyword-based nature of advertising bots. Atheism boards are overrun by religious banner ads, discussions on forums devoted to people who do not drive cars are plastered with car insurance advertisements, news stories about disasters in a place will be covered by tourism ads urging people to visit the place, and so on.
** There's at least one photo out there of an article on a baby dying in a house fire... with an ad reading Burn Baby Burn.
[[folder: Other ]]
* ''RogueTrooper: Quartz Zone Massacre'' - The opening scene is a Nort propaganda video boasting about how much the Southers have been beaten. At the end of the scene, the camera pans out to show the TV is lying in the middle of a battlefield in which the Norts were creamed.

"Santa for Soldiers"
It's almost time for the holidays and some of our men and women are deployed overseas. Has it ever crossed your mind what you could do to help, have you ever prayed for them?
After my husband deployed back in September of 2009 everything changed for us. It was one of the most difficult years of my life. Always praying and watching the news hoping the worst would not come true. You have to mentally prepare yourself for such a hard task.

Is starting Phillips and Rolen nearly everyday actually helping the team win?
They both are hurting and could use a long rest. I think a rested, healthy Valaika and Francisco would help the Reds win more than the tired and hurt Phillips and Rolen.
Plus it would give the two veterans some much needed rest for the playoffs.

Can't wait for the NHL season to start? Well, imagine how the city of Winnipeg must feel. The city will welcome an NHL franchise back for the first time since 1996 on Sunday as the Jets take on the Canadiens, and the excitement in the city is palpable. Building off the energy surrounding the team, Hot 103 in Winnipeg has remixed LMFAO's popular "Party Rock Anthem" into a Jets-specific song, the aptly-name "Jet Rock Anthem." It's pretty much what you would expect, although we'll admit there's a pretty clever use of Dustin Byfuglien's unique last name. See the karaoke-friendly video...

"What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'?"

"You did something to me, I don't know what it was but I do know that I don't want to lose you. You always keep a smile upon my face and I can act like myself because you accept me.

You just make it so easy to fall for you and believe me, I'm falling harder with each passing day."

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Ed BrockPolice say the man who is charged with gunning down two Atlanta men and dumping their bodies behind a Clayton County shopping center did so over a $250 drug-related debt he owned the two men. Clayton County and East Point police arrested Mitchell Lavern Ludy, 37, of Jonesboro at an Econo Lodge Inn on Virginia Avenue around 1:25 a.m. Friday, Clayton County Police Capt. Tim Robinson said. Ludy has been charged with two counts of murder in connection with the shooting deaths of 57-year-old Otis James Williams and 37-year-old Charles W. Ammons. On Sept. 26 Ludy was supposed to be taking Williams and Ammons to an ATM to get the money he owed them, even though he did not have an ATM card, Robinson said. At some point the men argued and Ludy shot the other two men while they were parked behind the Value City in the Arrowhead Shopping Center on Tara Boulevard near Jonesboro. He then dumped the men's bodies behind another store in the shopping center. An anonymous caller reported the bodies around 10 a.m. that day. "After the shooting at some point the next day Mr. Ludy burned his car," Robinson said. Robinson said Ludy is the man shown on a security video recording from a convenience store on Boulevard in Atlanta that was made around 6:25 a.m. on the day of the shooting. Witnesses said Williams and Ammons were with Ludy at that time, police said. Information gained from tips that were phoned in after the video was released to the media led to Ludy's arrest, Robinson said. Police obtained warrants for Ludy's arrest on Thursday but somehow Ludy heard about the warrants and slipped away from his job before he could be arrested, Robinson said. Detectives were "one step behind him" as he moved from location to location around Atlanta before a witness notified police that Ludy was at the Econo Lodge. Ludy, who is married with two children, lived on Flint River Road. After his arrest, Robinson said, Ludy cooperated with investigators. Robinson said Ludy told investigators that Ammons and Williams threatened him at some point and that led to the shooting. That explanation doesn't satisfy Ammons' sister, Shana McLester of Atlanta. "If he owed them some money, why would he kill them?" McLester said. "I don't guess I'll ever understand it." McLester said previously that her brother was not a violent person, though he did serve 10 years in prison for aggravated assault. She said she knew Ammons smoked marijuana and drank and "had a little hustle going" for extra money, but she said she "has a lot of whys" about Ludy's reasons for shooting Ammons and dumping his body. "He took the only brother that I have," McLester said. McLester said her mother is not taking the killing well and that her oldest son was also shot to death in 1996. McLester still has one sister left. "Now there's only two of us," McLester said. Ludy was to make his first appearance Saturday at 9 a.m. McLester said she plans to follow the court proceedings in the case.

Almond Crusted Flat Bread
|Active dry yeast
|1⁄4 Ounce (1 Package)
|Warm water
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) (About 110°)
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs) (At Room Temperature)
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Grated orange peel
|1 Tablespoon
|Anise seed
|1 Tablespoon
|Egg yolk
|All-purpose flour
|5 Cup (80 tbs), unsifted
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Diced candied orange peel
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Egg white
|1 , beaten with 1 tablespoon water
|1 Tablespoon (For Beating The Egg Whites)
|Almond paste
|7 Ounce
|Sliced almonds
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Powdered sugar
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
In large bowl of an electric mixer, dissolve yeast in water.
Add butter, sugar, milk, salt, grated orange peel, anise seed, eggs, and egg yolk.
Mix to blend well.
With electric mixer on medium speed, gradually add 2 cups of the flour and beat for 10 minutes.
Mix in 1 cup of the remaining flour with mixer at low speed, or with a wooden spoon, until thoroughly moistened.
Then stir in 1 3/4 cups of the remaining flour with a spoon (or heavy-duty mixer), moistening thoroughly (do not knead).
Cover bowl and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled (1 1/2 to 2 hours).
Beat to release air, then turn out on a well-floured board.
Knead until smooth and satiny (about 10 minutes), adding as little flour as possible.
Flatten dough and place raisins and candied orange peel on top.
Fold dough over and knead lightly just until fruit is well distributed.
Divide dough into 2 equal parts and shape each into a ball.
Place each on a well-greased baking sheet and pat into a flat round about 9 inches in diameter.
Cover lightly and set in a warm place until puffy-looking (40 to 45 minutes).
Brush with egg white mixture.
Crumble almond paste into about 1/2-inch chunks and sprinkle half over each round; then sprinkle half of the almonds over each.
Press lightly into dough.
Place pans on middle rack of a 350° oven (or stagger pans on 2 racks closest to middle of oven; racks should be at least 4 inches apart) and bake for about 30 minutes or until bread is richly browned.
With a spatula, transfer breads to racks to cool.

'An All-Star Salute to the Troops': Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw head up the partyAdd to Favorites | ACM Presents: An All-Star Salute to the Troops
Each year, the Academy of Country Music Awards isn't only about the awards themselves.
The ACM enlists many stars involved in that ceremony for another show recorded the next evening. In the past, it has taken such forms as a tribute to genre icon George Strait and a "Superstar Summer Night" hosted by Tim McGraw ... and this year, a gathering of top country names honors the U.S. military.
CBS airs "ACM Presents: An All-Star Salute to the Troops" Tuesday (May 20). Recorded last month at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the two-hour show features Strait and McGraw as well as spouses Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton (in a duet), Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, the Band Perry, Rascal Flatts, Toby Keith, Dierks Bentley, Hunter Hayes, Lee Brice, Kellie Pickler, Eli Young Band and country icon Merle Haggard.
"Criminal Minds" star Joe Mantegna, "Entertainment Tonight" co-host Nancy O'Dell, and U.S. Army veteran and country singer-songwriter Craig Morgan are among those who introduce the performances. Proceeds from tickets sold to the event go to ACM Lifting Lives, the music organization's charitable initiative.
"We didn't have to think twice about it," the Band Perry's Kimberly Perry tells Zap2it of participating and being joined on stage by Army SPC Kelly Gregg for the performance. "We're so blessed to be able to thank and encourage the troops with the gifts we've been given.
"We recently went to a country music festival in London, and the second day, we went to Lakenheath -- which is our base there -- and did a USO show and spent time with the troops and their families. It's something near and dear to our hearts."
A very visible, longtime military supporter who's about to co-host PBS' National Memorial Day Concert for the ninth time, Mantegna reflects that the ACM special is "really cool, because each one of these very prestigious country acts performs with an active-duty member of the military, singing or playing an instrument.
"In many instances, that extra person was the star," notes Mantegna. "It had a great energy about it, and it was so wonderful to be able to be involved in that."
