Bangladesh's government, workers, employers and the International Labour Organization have agreed to a plan to improve employee rights and safety after a factory building collapse last month.
The ILO proposals, which include better worker protection and the right to collective bargaining, will be submitted to parliament during its next session, expected to start in June, the Geneva-based organization said in a statement on its website. The government will cooperate in the implementation of the plan, Commerce Secretary Mahbub Ahmed said Sunday.
"The initiative is a turning point in Bangladesh's history," Foreign Secretary Shahidul Haque said at a press briefing in Dhaka where the ILO proposals were released.
"There is a convergence of interests for bringing about a change in the industry."
The ILO and its partners will "assess by the end of 2013 the structural building safety and fire safety of all active export-oriented ready-made garment factories in Bangladesh, and initiate remedial actions, including relocation of unsafe factories," the statement said.
The government will recruit 200 additional building inspectors within six months, with the budget to be increased for a minimum of 800 inspectors.

Mobile payment is still a bit of a wild west at the moment, and seemingly every technological and financial institution has a dog in this fight. Bank of America's not going to just sit idly by and watch it all unfold. The US's second largest bank has flirted with NFC in the past and is currently doing trials with QR scanning in Charlotte, North Carolina, where it's based. At present, five sellers in the area are taking part in the pilot program, with bank employees given access to the technology. The three-month trial is the result of a partnership with mobile payment company Paydiant, is compatible with Android handsets and iPhones, no NFC needed, naturally.

Richard "Hap" Happoldt '65, co-chair of the Class of 1965 Reunion Committee, writes, "Starting back about 1992 or '93, Bill Jaeger '65, Harry Miller '65, Bill Terheyden '65, and Barry DeVita '65 got together for lunch one afternoon. That led to other lunches every now and then, and soon the list of attendees started to grow. In the late '90s, Barry formalized a roster with about 40 names on it, and lunches were held two or three times a year. Barry (who passed away in 2013) was the key to what is today one of the largest groups from Santa Clara that meets on a quarterly basis. Since Barry passed the mantle for this group in 2004, the roster has grown to 112 classmates, including 28 of the 'First Co-eds.' Our quarterly lunches in San Francisco continue to be our own social media and are highlighted every December with our Christmas lunch, which draws up to 65 people. One great aspect of having four lunches a year is that it makes it easy to schedule at least one lunch, especially for those living out of state. We're pretty sure this group is quite special and hope it will stir other classes to start something on their own—and we'll be happy to help. Looking forward to our upcoming 50th reunion in October and hoping for some eye-popping attendance numbers!"

Alienware X51 pictures and hands-on
The Alienware X51 has arrived. Designed to be a small form factor PC that can actually handle a decent bit of gaming, it is Alienware's first attempt at a cheap(ish) desktop.
Aimed squarely at the casual PC gaming market, the X51 is a halfway house between a home console and a top-end PC. Around the same size as a normal games console, it is intended to be inconspicuous enough to sit in your living room but still run triple-A titles such as Battlefield 3 at high settings.
Close up the Alienware looks damn nice. Keeping all the internal goodies wrapped up warm is a matte plastic body, with a glossy black wraparound at the front. There is also a set of USB ports, headphone and microphone jacks and a rather nifty power button on the top of the front of the rig.
Sat at the back is plenty more connectivity as well as a beefy grille to aid ventilation of the computer. On the side is the usual club tropicana style lighting you find on all Alienware hardware. It is much more understated here than say the laptop keyboards. We imagine this is to do with the fact many will be using this as a media centre PC in their living rooms.
Alienware has done a masterful job cramming so much power into such a small rig. Inside is your choice of Sandy Bridge processors and either an Nvidia GT 545 or GTX 555, both with 1GB of video memory. There is also the option of a DVD or Blu-ray player and, of course, upgradeable RAM.
The real trick however is how easy it is to upgrade the internals. Unlike a normal game console, you can easily yank the graphics card out and stick a more powerful one inside, once an update is due. Things are definitely packed in tight in the X51, so don't expect to manage to fit a huge GTX 590 or any other top end card, but for now, a GTX 555 is going to do a good job with high-end DX 11 gaming.
We have no idea how Alienware has managed to keep the inside of the X51 properly ventilated. Take a peek at the internals and it is slotted together perfectly like a piece of Lego. Think Mac Pro but packed in tighter.
The X51 is going to start at around £699 for the entry level model. It might be a fair hop up from a normal games console, but don't forget you are getting a small form factor rig that will likely run Windows at lightning speed.

'He told his ex about our sex life'Comment on this story
QUESTION: My husband stayed friendly with his student days' girlfriend and she's been part of our lives over 17 years of marriage. But recently we hit a bad patch and I discovered he'd talked to his ex about our sex life.
He says he can't see the problem - that she's the only friend he can talk to about intimate stuff and, as a trained counsellor, gives good advice - but I feel horrified that another woman knows my bedroom secrets.
Our marriage is back on track, apart from me obsessing about this betrayal. Should I ask him not to see her again?
ANSWER: Nobody likes it when their other half reveals intimate details to a third party, without tacit agreement they can do so (unless they're only telling that person how hot you are in bed).
However, have you never, in all your 17 years of wedded life, talked to a close friend about an intimate aspect of your marriage?
I always feel most men would be horrified if they were aware of the revelations shared between close female friends.
I know talking to same-sex friends is not the same as blabbing to an ex. This is, understandably, how your outrage evolved.
But do remember that men aren't generally so good at talking to one another about sexual dilemmas. It seems likely this woman was the only person your husband trusted to discuss such delicate issues with.
But, above all, is this woman really still your "husband's ex" more than she is a family friend? It's important not to jump to the conclusion that this mutual friend (she is mutual, isn't she?) briefed against you.
The thing to concentrate on now is the fact you and your husband are happy once more - you would have known if he felt more estranged after those conversations.
And it's a fairer strategy than banishing her from your house for listening to your spouse. - Daily Mail

Sorry for being so negative, but I'm on a tight deadline and this interface in the widget is insane. There's nothing here that even matches Advanced Custom Fields interface, so you can't match up your fields with this. I guess I assumed it was meant to work with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, but this is something entirely different. And it's impossible to use, unless you have 20 hours to learn it. The documentation is for adding an amazon link or something, no real examples that you can follow and understand, this is just gibberish.
Good luck though, looks like a useful plugin, at least for the author. Maybe someday it can be coded more practical for everyday designer/developer usage? I mean, how is a client supposed to use this thing to add new content when I can't even figure it out...

In its fourth weekend at the box office, The Martian has once more claimed the number one spot. The Matt Damon-led sci-fi film reclaimed the top position after a short stint at number two last week and has been as well received by critics as it has been with audiences.
With best picture hopes, director Ridley Scott has the possibility of having the first major commercial hit win the award since Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King swept the Oscars in 2004.
In recent years, there has been a growing divide between what is considered artistic gravitas in a film and its success at the box office, according to the Academy.
In the old days of the studio system this schism between artistic films and big studio hits was not nearly as evident, with most best picture winners »

'Sunset Blvd.': Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond. The Charles Brackett Diaries: Gay Rumors quashed, troubled Billy Wilder partnership discussed in Q&A with Anthony Slide See previous post: "Charles Brackett Diaries: Politics and Gossip During the Studio Era." First of all, how did you become involved in this Charles Brackett project? And what did your editorial job entail? I discovered the diaries about six years ago when I was asked by Brackett's grandson, Jim Moore, to place a financial value on them during the process of his donating them to the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It was clear to me that these diaries had not only considerable financial worth, but also, and perhaps more importantly, they were primary resources in the study of Hollywood history. Happily, Charles Brackett's family (who own the copyright) gave permission for me to edit the diaries, »

Billy Wilder directed Sunset Blvd. with Gloria Swanson and William Holden. Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett movies Below is a list of movies on which Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder worked together as screenwriters, including efforts for which they did not receive screen credit. The Wilder-Brackett screenwriting partnership lasted from 1938 to 1949. During that time, they shared two Academy Awards for their work on The Lost Weekend (1945) and, with D.M. Marshman Jr., Sunset Blvd. (1950). More detailed information further below. Post-split years Billy Wilder would later join forces with screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond in movies such as the classic comedy Some Like It Hot (1959), the Best Picture Oscar winner The Apartment (1960), and One Two Three (1961), notable as James Cagney's last film (until a brief comeback in Milos Forman's Ragtime two decades later).

These days, Kristin Chenoweth is everywhere — on film and TV, in concert and on the Broadway stage for eight shows a week as the Tony-nominated romantic lead Lily Garland/Mildred Plotka in Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of "On the Twentieth Century."
"This is a commitment, what I'm doing and (what) all of my fellow Broadway artists (are doing)," says the petite Oklahoman (she's all of 4 feet, 11 inches tall) of her role as the ugly duckling piano accompanist who transforms into a swan movie star. "It's a marathon, like being an Olympic athlete. It's also a gift."
And Chenoweth's fans know it. The second she appears onstage, the audience thunderously applauds. And then comes that unmistakable voice: bigger than she is — perfect in pitch, tone and breath — from ballad to belt.
"Kristin is enormously bright and kind," says Matthew Broderick, who starred opposite Chenoweth in »

As a kid, you can't be picky where you find your fix of sci-fi and horror. Sometimes it's the big screen, but often (for me, anyway) it was that living room landmark, television. I remember being seven and watching a Western where a couple of guys are on vacation at a resort where you can be a cowboy and have gunfights with androids (Sci-Fi, sweet!). And then…bad things start to happen. The androids break down, and now they're killing the guests (ooh, Horror!). My head reeled from this magical swirl, a mesh of circuitry and chaos. Welcome to Westworld (1973), and its parent resort, Delos. Their slogan: Have we got a vacation for you.
This was a pretty good year for Sci-Fi. Soylent Green made a splash ("It's Peeoople!!!"), the latest installment in the Apes franchise, Battle for the Planet of the Apes, and Woody Allen »

Ron Moody as Fagin in 'Oliver!' based on Charles Dickens' 'Oliver Twist.' Ron Moody as Fagin in Dickens musical 'Oliver!': Box office and critical hit (See previous post: "Ron Moody: 'Oliver!' Actor, Academy Award Nominee Dead at 91.") Although British made, Oliver! turned out to be an elephantine release along the lines of – exclamation point or no – Gypsy, Star!, Hello Dolly!, and other Hollywood mega-musicals from the mid'-50s to the early '70s.[1] But however bloated and conventional the final result, and a cast whose best-known name was that of director Carol Reed's nephew, Oliver Reed, Oliver! found countless fans.[2] The mostly British production became a huge financial and critical success in the U.S. at a time when star-studded mega-musicals had become perilous – at times downright disastrous – ventures.[3] Upon the American release of Oliver! in Dec. 1968, frequently acerbic The »

It simply had to be Yul Brynner.
When it came to casting the role of the imperious King of Siam in the film version of the hit Broadway musical The King and I, 20th Century Fox wanted only the Russian-born Brynner, who had originated the role on stage and performed it more than 1,000 times. But Brynner played hardball, holding out until he got script and cast approval, and a percentage of the movie's profits.
It was worth the trouble as the dominating image of the bald-headed, hand-on-hips Brynner is what comes to mind when we think of the film.
Set in 1862 Siam (Thailand), the story focuses on the friendship that develops between the King and the strong-willed English schoolteacher (Deborah Kerr) who tutors his many children and wives. Brynner's performance won the Oscar for Best Actor and launched his film career.

The best of Broadway took Radio City Music Hall by storm on June 7 to celebrate the 69th annual Tony Awards. Co-hosted by Tony winners Alan Cumming and Kristin Chenoweth, the ceremony gave top honors to Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori's "Fun Home," which became the first winner for best musical in Tony history written by an all-female team. Alison Bechdel, whose graphic memoir provided the source material for "Fun Home," said after the ceremony that although she wishes her late mother and father could see it, "in some weird level of reality, my parents are ecstatic about this play." Other big winners included "The King and I," which won for best musical revival, costume design, featured actress Ruthie Ann Miles, and leading actress Kelli O'Hara, who finally received her first Tony after six nominations.

"I completely lost my mind. I don't know if that was obvious ... When they did say my name, I think it just blew me away," said actress Kelli O'Hara about finally winning her first Tony Award for "The King and I," which also won Best Musical Revival. She was so overwhelmed that she did a dance when accepting the award: "That's called 'Shuffle Off to Buffalo,' very poorly done in Jimmy Choo shoes, but when you're that excited, you lose your mind a bit." -Break- Tony Awards winners: Show by show This is her first Tonys victory after five unsuccessful nominations: for her featured role in "The Light in the Piazza" (2005) and lead roles in "The Pajama Game (2006), "South Pacific" (2008), "Nice Work If You Can Get It" (2012) and "Bridges of Madison County" (2014).

"Not too bad, if I say so myself..." If I may take a quote from this year's Best Musical winner as I went 20/24 with my predictions for this year's 2015 Tony Awards. Undoubtedly, the two big winners of the night were the musical Fun Home and the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, both of which took home five awards including honors for their leading men, directors, and, of course, Best Musical/Play. Right behind those two was the revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I, which picked up four awards, including Best Revival and for their long overdue leading lady Kelli O'Hara, who easily gave the best speech of the night (including dancing off the stage). I may predicted Tony co-host Kristin Chenoweth over her, but I am so happy to be wrong. yt id="MneMh2c-y0M" width="640" And what about Chenoweth »

Who took home all the hardware from Broadway's biggest night? Well, Helen Mirren won big for her turn as Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience (all hail Helen), and Ruthie Ann Miles nabbed kudos for her performance in The King and I — the real winners, at least for a sec, were the audience members and viewers at home who got to see Miles's phone-assisted speech, highlighted by a weirdly intense play-off and equally intriguing joke. In other categories, An American in Paris, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and Fun Home cleaned up nicely — the latter two earning top honors for best play and best musical, respectively.Here's the full victors list, with the winners bolded (if you want to relive some of the fun from the broadcast, check out our liveblog!): Best MusicalAn American in ParisFun HomeSomething Rotten!The VisitBest PlayThe Curious Incident of the »

Dude! Keep working on this, I want to see this finished! :D
This is basically Blade Runner made into a video game! So cool!
Basically it be a mix of Blade Runner/Deus Ex and retrofuture things. It be more brutal and hardcore. Graphic be simple, more solid colors than textures. Gamer will be forced to using typical detective action. No tips (some one like avgn can say this game will be style "where do i f* go" but in real world you dont have any arrows where go and interactive map where everything says what you must to do to get something), you must know where to go to get some information, and its your will how do you want it. Talking or making holes in heads. Mechanic for world is very difficult.
much of things is inspired by Syd Mead
I like that idea alot! I have found many games not challenging enough in recent years. I am a huge fan of syd mead (I often draw inspiration from his designs when designing things myself) and I would love a game that lets you actually do some detective work in a open immersive cyber punk world. Make this and I will definitely buy it. :D
But make it a long game, most games are much too short these days. I want something I can play for a while. :D
I love the art direction of this game, how does it not have more people following it?
Remember, always you can do something to change that :D
This needs more followers!
From what little I can see, this game looks pretty neat.

Brad Pitt reportedly loves taking part in battle re-enactment days and is trying to get his oldest kids to share his interest.
Brad Pitt is reportedly a fan of historical battle re-enactment days.
The 48-year-old 'Troy' actor - who has six children with partner Angelina Jolie - apparently got a taste for the hobby whilst trying to find a way to make history appeal to his oldest son Maddox, 10.
A source said: ''Brad has always been passionate about history.
''Maddox was really interested in wars but hated all other aspects of the subject so Brad hatched a plan for them to dress up and go to re-enactment days.
''He bought suits of armour and even special weapons. Now all the kids are really interested in history.''
With his brood hooked, the 'Moneyball' actor is said to be planning to teach Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, and Shiloh, five, all about historic Battles while Angelina watches three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: ''He's going to take the older kids to a Viking day after their first trip to an event near New Orleans. He is lining up a visit to a May Day event in Berkshire in the UK next.
''Angie always says she'll stay at home with the twins, but the kids wants to see her kick their dad's backside in a battle.''

Braves pass on 'screaming Indian' hat logo
You'll recall that not so long ago the Braves were reportedly giving thought to reviving this old logo for their spring-training BP hats:
That's known colloquially as the "screaming Indian" logo (although, he looks to me to be "guffawing" rather than screaming), and, like all such caricatures, it's a source of controversy. That the Braves were ever seriously considering it is a surprise on some level, but what's not a surprise is that they're now backing away from it.
MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports that the Braves have indeed opted for a less divisive design:
When Braves pitchers and catchers stage their first workout at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex on Tuesday morning, they will be wearing new Spring Training hats that are solid navy blue with a red script "A" on the front.
Debate surrounding the hat began six weeks ago when Uni Watch leaked the Spring Training/batting-practice hats that each Major League club would use this year. The design for the Braves showed the front being adorned with the "screaming Indian head" that has been deemed by some as offensive to Native Americans.
While the "screaming Indian" logo was one of five proposed designs, the Braves said a decision on the design had not been made before the potential hats were leaked.
The reality is that in 2013 this is what is known as "a smart business decision."
Now commence the doom-saying about the end of liberty and or Western Civilization or whatever it is that things like this are supposed to signify.

->- "A Promise That I Keep", ''Wolfblood'' opening theme song.
Wolfblood is an original CBBC drama that aired in Autumn 2012, with series 2 starting in September 2013. Set in Northumbria the series follows Maddy a teenage Wolfblood. Wolfbloods are humans with enhanced senses and the ability to transform into a wolf. She and her family have kept their secret for years but when new boy, and fellow Wolfblood, Rhydian moves in her secret and friendships are put into jeopardy.
The series is mostly allegorical, with the show's theme of being a Wolfblood as a metaphor for other social outcasts.
!! This show provides examples of:
* AccidentalAthlete: In "The Call of the Wild", Rhydian is recruited to play goalkeeper for the school football team after he intercepts a wild kick in the playground that would have hit Maddy.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Tom thinks Maddy is interested in Rhydian for this reason.
* AgentMulder: Shannon.
* AliensInCardiff: Werewolves in Northumbria!
* CallBack: In [=S2E3=], a forensic scientist investigating a Wolfblood skeleton, she ask's whether they know what [[TitleDrop Occam's Razor]] is. Considering Shannon name-dropped it last series, he gives a pretty accurate explanation of what it is.
* InsistentTerminology: "''It's Wolfblood, not werewolf. We're not monsters.''"
* KeepingSecretsSucks: Maddy hates lying to her friends but has no choice but to.
** Al least until the end of series 1, where [[spoiler: Tom and Shannon find out]]
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Obviously.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Whenever a wolfblood gets close to transforming their eyes turn yellow, similar to a wolfs.
* SuperSenses: Comes with being a Wolfblood. You can see smell trails!
** Then taken [[UpToEleven even higher]] with their "Eolas" sense: they can see, hear, and smell ''everything'' around them, even from miles away! However, this sense has two major drawbacks: being near manmade objects (especially the louder ones) hurts them badly, and it's ''incredibly'' addictive. There's a good reason why tame Wolfbloods are forbidden from using it.
* TaintedVeins: As with SupernaturalGoldEyes above a side effect of pre-transforming.
* ThemeNaming: Lampshaded - three girls whose names all begin with "K" form a clique, so everyone calls them "the Three Ks".
* TheNoseKnows: Wolfbloods have incredibly an incredibly keen sense of smell, being based off of wolves
* TroubledButCute: Rhydian.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Jimmy
!! Episodes of this series provide examples of:
* LukeIAmYourFather: Random people turning out to be Rhydian's relations is practically one of the show's themes.
* TitleDrop: Lone Wolf, Occam's Razor, Wolfsbane
** Also seen in many episodes relating the the show's title, which is hard to avoid as they themselves are called Wolfbloods.

I've always been candid in my experience with the Civilization series. I've known them in passing, but never really jumped into them until I had a chance to review Civilization V when it came out. Outside of its turn-based nature and computer combusting programming, it turned into a game that I would recommend to anyone. To this day, I still let people know to pick it up on Steam whenever it goes on sale. It was the game, for me anyway, that broke the stigma behind the turn-based strategy. When I learned that a real expansion was being added in Gods and Kings, I took a moment to ponder what could possibly be added to the game to make it any better. I apparently didn't hear the faithful Civ fans screaming, "Religion and spies, you idiot!" behind me.
On the surface, I'm sure that it isn't thought that Gods and Kings would be much different from the standard DLC fare that is available for Civilization V. After all, different factions, leaders, scenarios and map packs have been added to the title since it launched in 2010. But be assured, this isn't the same sort of download you could have picked up for a couple of bucks off of Steam. While I don't think that it is as fleshed out as a true expansion should be, there is something important to remember. Both the AI and the combat have been reworked in Gods and Kings. Doing an overhaul of the two most important aspects of the game is far from a little touch up here and there. Tie in new units, new city-states, new wonders and just about something new in every category in Civilization V and you can see why this is indeed something worth adding on.
The list of things added to the game is by no means a short list. Among the most important is the return of religion and espionage. To accommodate the return of these fan favorite units, the team added in embassies for improved diplomatic relation building and new city-states. A religion-based city-state was brought in, as was a merchant-based one, to give players new options in courting those fringe cities on the map. If instead you just want to decimate them in order to grow your empire, 27 new units have been added to the game to help you do just that. As a bonus, the naval units have changed to being a melee type unit or ranged. Some units will need to be adjusted in your build order to compensate for this, but it is a much-needed change. Embarked units may also take a defensive stance on naval units for more protection. To round out the remaining additions, nine new civilizations and leaders, 13 more buildings and more scenarios were added to the roster. The scenarios add another fun play style to the game, ranging from the fall of the Roman Empire, the emergence from the Dark Ages and the "what if" of Steampunk society. Overall, a nice heaping spoonful of more Civilization was added to your plate.
Gods and Kings did little to alter the dynamic of Civilization V. How you play, win or wage war at your own peril still holds true to the original release of the game. Only now, there are a few different ways to win, or at least a different approach in doing so. The path of diplomacy has become more intricate with the return of espionage. Spies can be tasked with rigging elections, stealing technology, and even inciting the populace against their leaders. Rather than just waiting it out when going for the long win, spies give you a little leg up in the area. Religion brings back a popular method removed since Civilization IV. Now a form of currency, it is used to spread throughout the world through missionaries and building types. Once the player establishes one, perks can be selected to fit their needs. Both of these new additions really add more depth to an already deep gameplay.
The change in combat was something I had been looking forward to for some time. Gone are the instant crushing blows to military units. No longer will an enemy up and decide to roll everything over to your newly settled city and just take it over. The combat turns have been leveled out to be more user friendly. Which is good, because it was something that could turn a massive army into a pitiful group with pointy sticks in a matter of turns. It was something frustrating in Civilization V to say the least. It allows more planning, rather than unit stacking to battle the oncoming waves.
It isn't a review of Civilization for me unless something bad happens while I'm playing it. Thankfully, there wasn't a hardware failure this time around. I did have some instances of the game bogging down when too many things were going on, but there are numerous things that can be attributed to – most likely on my PC. In any case, it wasn't a big deal. I was a bit irritated that I had the game crash a few times on me. Apparently, it still doesn't like Alt-Tabbing to other things. In my first game, it crashed randomly at 252 turns without anything else going on. Annoying, but I can't say it was unexpected. Then I discovered an annoying bit that happened whenever AI combat occurred. If I moved my mouse at all, it would scroll across the map in whichever direction I had moved it. I couldn't stop it either. It would end once all computer turns were over. Attempts were made to navigate with the mini map, but once clicked it would just start moving again. Strange thing to happen, but it wasn't game breaking.
As for actual game mechanic issues, I'm happy to report that there wasn't any. The change in combat makes games at higher difficulty levels easier. That was the intent of changing the combat system though. No longer will the game try to steamroll you at Prince or Warlord difficulty settings. It feels more balanced. The addition of religion units, to me, was a little less than optimal experience. While I like that they were added into the game, I didn't like that they felt like they needed to be managed more than normal units. I disliked having to set units to build up religions in other cities or creating units to stop the spread of another player's religion to my domain.
Civilization V needed to have the additions from Gods and Kings. Playing with the expansion, I can see what was lost from the previous iteration of the series. Spies and religion bring back a variable to the game that will add another layer of strategy without causing a distraction. Add on the revamped, non-instant-killing changes to the combat system, and you'll find yourself with a much more friendly game to those who were still shy about playing a turn based strategy. I urge you: if you still haven't bought Civilization V, you need to correct this immediately. Gods and Kings takes away any excuse you had previously to turn your nose away. On a title that is approaching two years old, to be able to say that it is still a must-have title in your collection, an expansion that adds to it only sweetens the deal.

Up for sale are two Vivitar 150mm f4.5 lenses. Fixed focus, aperture is f4.5 to f22, clean glass with a few super small marks in the coating, M39 lens mounts. These look exactly like an enlarger lens but I do not want to advertise them as such because I am not sure. These lenses are mounted in stereo on a aluminum lens board that is 153 X 147 X 3mm and is threaded professionally. This was mounted in front of a Packard shutter that had a lens board mount that was 92X94mm. The whole setup was advertised as used for passport photographs so I am unsure of the image circle the lenses will provide.
You will get both lenses with the lens board for $25 Shipped USPS Priority.
PM with any questions, PayPal preferred as a "gift" to save the fees. M/O or check also acceptable.
Thanks for looking!

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Hey, Scripting Guy! Our auditors have suggested that we randomly pick projects to examine and ensure that each project was completed and signed off per company policy. Because these projects are numbered sequentially I thought maybe we could write a script that would randomly select the project numbers for us to audit. Can you help us with that?-- PD
Hey, PD. You know, if you were looking for organized, consistent, and reliable we'd have to say, "No, sorry, we can't help you." But seeing as how you're looking for random and unpredictable, well, you came to the right place.
As it turns out, VBScript has a built-in function (with the catchy name Rnd) designed solely to return random numbers. Let's take a look at a script that generates 5 random numbers, each one between 1 and 100. We'll then explain how the script works:
intHighNumber = 100
intLowNumber = 1
For i = 1 to 5
intNumber = Int((intHighNumber - intLowNumber + 1) * Rnd + intLowNumber)
Wscript.Echo intNumber
As you can see, we begin by assigning values to two different variables: intHighNumber (the highest number in our range) and intLowNumber (the lowest number in our range). What if we wanted to generate random numbers between 37 and 956? No problem: we'd simply adjust the values of intHighNumber and intLowNumber:
intHighNumber = 956
intLowNumber = 37
Next we set up a For Next loop that loops around 5 times. Inside the loop we find the following three lines of code:
intNumber = Int((intHighNumber - intLowNumber + 1) * Rnd + intLowNumber)
Wscript.Echo intNumber
The first line - consisting solely of the Randomize statement - is very important. This function uses the system time to provide a "seed" value to the Rnd function. Because the system time will always be different this means that the Rnd function will be more likely to generate a truly random number. In fact, try running this script, one that doesn't use the Randomize statement:
intHighNumber = 100
intLowNumber = 1
intNumber = Int((intHighNumber - intLowNumber + 1) * Rnd + intLowNumber)
Wscript.Echo intNumber
No matter how many times you run this you'll get the same "random" number. (On our test computer, we get 71 each time.)
Our next line of code actually generates the random number:
intNumber = Int((intHighNumber - intLowNumber + 1) * Rnd + intLowNumber)
The Rnd function has an algorithm it uses to generate random numbers; all we have to do is plug our two variables (intHighNumber and intLowNumber) into the equation. In addition, we use the Int function to ensure that we get back an integer rather than a decimal number. It's an odd-looking little line of code, but you don't have to worry about it; just plug the variables into the right spots and have at it.
That's pretty much it; we echo back the returned number and then loop around and generate the next random number. When we're all done we should get back a list of numbers similar to this:
By the way, could you use this approach to generate numbers for playing the lottery? Yes. Would that make it more likely that you'd pick the winning numbers? Well, let's put it this way: the Scripting Guys still have to come in to work each and every day. You can decide for yourself whether we'd do that had we written a script that would win us the $100 million PowerBall jackpot.
how to write a script ti generate a random number
This would NOT work with a lottery program because duplicate numbers can be returned from the randomization logic. You'll need to store previously selected numbers and call the randomization logic until a different number were picked.
- Captain Obvious
This will produce a non repeating random numbers.
intHighNumber = 24
intLowNumber = 1
Dim isUsed(24)
For i = 1 to 100
intNumber = Int((intHighNumber - intLowNumber + 1) * Rnd + intLowNumber)
If IsUsed(intNumber) <> "Y" Then
IsUsed(intNumber) = "Y"
strnum = strnum & " " & Cstr(intNumber)
End If
'Wscript.Echo intNumber
Msgbox strnum
Randomize is meant to be called just once. Once the random number generator has been seeded, it's ready to go. (Otherwise, they would have just built the functionality of Randomize into the Rnd function.)
Here is a better Random Number Generator. It allows you to select necessary variables, such as the highest number, the lowest number, and the number of random numbers. It also makes all the random numbers visible on one msgbox instead of several. Yes, numbers may occur twice, but, if you roll multiple dice, you will most likely get numbers that occur twice. I can see how the first version would be beneficial for PD, seeing as the number of projects is always the same. But it would be much more generally practical if you could select the highest number, lowest number, and amount of random numbers, without having to manually edit the vbs each time you want to change the variables. Thank you for reading, Kyle.
intHighNumber = inputbox("Please enter the highest number.","Random Number Generator")
intLowNumber = inputbox("Please enter the lowest number.","Random Number Generator")
intNumbers = inputbox("Please enter the number of random numbers.","Random Number Generator")
For i = 1 to intNumbers
strnum = strnum& " " & Cstr(intNumber)
x = msgbox(strnum,4096,"Random Number Generator")
seeing how the number of projects could always be the same*
Here is a more comprehensive version
If TypeName(intHighNumber) = "Empty" Then
end if
If Len(Trim(intHighNumber)) = 0 Then
altshutdown1 = MsgBox("Nothing Entered.",4096)
If not isnumeric (intHighNumber) then
msg2 = msgbox("Not a number.",4096)
If TypeName(intLowNumber) = "Empty" Then
If Len(Trim(intLowNumber)) = 0 Then
If not isnumeric (intLowNumber) then
If TypeName(intNumbers) = "Empty" Then
If Len(Trim(intNumbers)) = 0 Then
If not isnumeric (intNumbers) then
sorry about the length
This function will return an array containing n random UNIQUE numbers. If you use it to win the the PowerBall, buy me a beer :-)
Function GetRandom(lowerbound,upperbound,howmany)
If upperbound-lowerbound < howmany Then
GetRandom = array(0)
Dim dic,n,num,x
Set dic = createobject("scripting.dictionary")
Do while dic.count < howmany
n = Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
If not dic.exists(n) Then
dic.add n,0
End If
ReDim arr(howmany-1)
For each num in dic.keys
arr(x) = num
GetRandom = arr
Set dic = nothing
End If
End Function
Dim whiteballs,powerball
whiteballs = GetRandom(1,59,5)
powerball = GetRandom(1,35,1)
wscript.echo join(whiteballs," ") & " " & powerball(0)
How do we make it generate just one random number each time the script is called.
would this work?
intHighNumber = 9999
intLowNumber = 1000
intNumber = Int((intHighNumber - intLowNumber + 1) * Rnd + intLowNumber)
Wscript.Echo intNumber

I love what this became.
Pretty sad stuff...
But according to ESPN, Chris Johnson is being "uncooperative" with police. Now, I've got two opinions on this...
1. If it is true that he is being uncooperative, dude... I'm assuming your friend was shot and police are trying to catch these guys, what the hell are you doing not telling them what you know?
2. Of course, he may know nothing... if I got shot I think I'd be more worried about myself and the people I'm with than whatever car is driving off. So, this could be some crappy narrative bias by the police because he's been in trouble with the law before.
I heard he's moving to Miami.
1998 was, in reality, before I had proper cognition to realize what was happening.
For me, it had to be when we were somehow number 1 ranked with Todd Boeckman and Illinois came to C-Bus and Juice Williams put it on us.
I was not only at that game, but it was my birthday present from my parents.
I really detest Todd as a QB, but whatever.
We need 6.
either 5 power conference champs and an at large or just the 6 top rated teams (I vote for the latter, think If we had a Wisconsin-Nebraska B1G title situation again)
1 and 2 get byes.
3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5.
lowest remaining seed plays 1 and highest plays 2.
I agree, but sadly it would only take one garbage fluke for them to never stop referencing, "YOU REMEMBER November of 3004 when we beat you guys!"
... there's no typos there.
Also... ITS NOT BLACK UNIFORMS BUT ILL TAKE IT
Every player was given the opportunity to transfer and not have to sit out.
That's awesome...
But I gotta ask.
When I was a kid my family and I would hit up Sparky's pizzeria every now and again because it was amazing. It's changed in the past 5ish years and its nowhere near what it used to be. Did ownership change or something?
TCU is being overestimated big time.
They played a limping Ole Miss team that got wrecked by Bert and didn't have their best receiver.
TCU's win wasn't that impressive. It was just an angry team playing a battered and injured team.
I'm not saying TCU wouldn't have won, but its another ridiculous claim of ESPN and anyone to try and feed into this ridiculous narrative that Ohio State doesn't belong.
Now, I understand he is getting extra games compared to Eddie and Keith, but...
Give this boy the record.
I'm curious... how many attempts did they have compared to EZE?
I'm also lazy and don't want to look it up... uh go bucks
But really.....................
Cardale keep trolling those nerds.
Cuz he's good at his job?
If we can get them in 2nd and 3rd and long I believe we will be fine. Our D-Lineman are damn good and I think we can bully that front four.
We have a much more athletic defense and you're talking about Urban Meyer.
Vonn Bell is good for a pick, he always gets a big one in big games baby.
I want to downvote that original post so damn much.
OSU fans including myself were downright arrogant in '06.
This year we know it's a success... 3rd string QB, but we are confident regardless.
I will say, LOL at these jokers in mainstream media saying TCU should be number 1 starting next year.
I think we should be #1 next year... We are returning a ton of starters and we have what will be the biggest headline of the off-season with what will amount to a lot of stupid ESPN speculation in our QB battle.
Alles Geburtstag!
Lol I love the ending when he says we are going to need a lot of luck to beat Oregon.
We are better coached and we have a way more athletic defense than the Seminoles...
Sure, Mariota will get his, but our defense will get theirs to.
We would be undefeated, would've throttled Alabama, and Oregon would be scared shitless.
But, I love this team, I love our QBs and I wouldn't change anything. That loss to VTech was the best thing for this team, especially considering where we are now.

Investors with misperceptions about China and Japan could be missing out on significant opportunity. Jeffrey Everett, CFA, portfolio manager with the EverKey Global Equity team at Wells Capital Management, joins us in this excerpt of On the Trading DeskSM from Friday, April 4, 2014.
Jeff, let's start by clearing up a few misperceptions about China. First is regarding the lack of health of China's banking system. What's your take?
The banking system in China is one of the most hotly debated and, I believe, most misunderstood investment areas in the world right now. First of all, the banks are very tightly tied to the state—that's a very important point when you're dealing with any emerging markets, especially a country as important as China. Second, the Chinese banks have a very long history with bad debts. Bad debts are nothing new to the Chinese banking system. And last, there's no question that China has embarked on some serious regulatory reforms, and these take time to develop.
The next perception that I'd like you to address for us is about China's investments. It seems there are a lot of reports about ghost cities being built and maybe bridges to nowhere. A lot of spending to prop up growth in the short term without much thought about the long-term consequences. What's your take on that issue?
China actually has one of the most vibrant internet economies—internet sectors—in the world. So, for all the talk about China having spent over the years and made poor investments in highways and infrastructure and so forth, it's ironic that some of that growth is probably coming back—and paying dividends—in the form of a very vibrant internet sector. As for the banks, for all of the criticism the Chinese banks are now facing, they are generating today (a) profits and (b) substantial returns on equity. You just don't get banks at these prices anywhere in the world unless investors are clearly disenchanted with the sector. And that, to us, is what creates the opportunity for the upside going forward.
What other misperceptions, or maybe misconceptions, could create opportunities for investors?
China is full of misconceptions. One of the misconceptions is that the industrial empire is the engine that drives China. Increasingly, the fact is that, in aggregate, the consumer part of the Chinese economy in 2012 for the first time exceeded the aggregate profits of the industrial complex of China—its medical, tourism, consumer, food, and luxury [sectors]. Very importantly, the Chinese growth in incomes will benefit the world in a myriad of ways, and the way you can play that is through Chinese equities, through global equities. Again, our view is that Chinese equities in many cases are the most undervalued way and direct way to play some of this income growth.
Let's clear up a few misperceptions about Japan. Ever since November 2012, perhaps based upon expectations of reforms coming out of the election of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the yen has weakened significantly. We've also seen the Nikkei 225 rally pretty substantially. What do you think, Jeff, in terms of perceptions surrounding the political stability, or ability, of Shinzo Abe to actually follow through on these reforms?
I just came back from Japan, and I have to tell you, as much as I'm not a fan of polls in terms of politics, they do count, they are watched. The public knows what's coming, and the public is buying in. Japan really risks becoming fiscally, economically, and politically irrelevant in that region. And, there's no question that a lot of the companies are benefiting already from some of the early shifts in policy.
Would you summarize that investors maybe should be cautiously optimistic or maybe optimistically cautious about investing in Japan?
Good question. I think you always need to be cautious when you're investing in equities around the world. There is no question we've seen spikes in volatility that have really bothered people and caused people to miss, I think, some wonderful opportunities. The opportunities right now—some of the best in the world—are in Japan. There is reason to be optimistic that Abe and his team's reforms will work. The Japanese people seem to want to follow a strong leader who will help them regain a sense of economic strength.
What are some of the companies that are benefiting—and may continue to benefit—from these reforms?
Well, a great one is financial services; financial services is a big emphasis of ours around the world for a number of reasons. Among them is the proliferation of products, the ability to deliver to more people as they become wealthier—not just in emerging [markets] but also in the developed world. The developed world has income protection preservation requirements. In the developing world, they really want growth. There's no question that financial services is going to be a growth industry.
Jeff, we'd appreciate any final thoughts you'd have for investors.
In our experience, too many investors believe that imitation is the recipe for success, and we have found time and time again, in emerging markets or developed markets, that the best way to make money is to invest when it looks darkest. Many investors will remember what Europe was like in the summer of 2012, what European banks looked like in the summer of 2012—in the summer of 2013 as well. It was a wonderful time to buy into not just Europe but into the banking system. So, while we are talking about Japan and China, when it looks darkest, it is a wonderful time to make investments. You have to do your homework, have to know what the downside is. But, in our view, the upside of China and Japan and many investments in those markets now far outweighs the downside.
Thank you very much for joining us, Jeff.
Thank you for the time, Brian.

I got home yesterday to a big bundle of post which amongst other things included a large brown envolope and a Speed Graphic catalogue. Well normally I would be ripping the cellephane wrapping of the catalogue to see what goodies were inside: well that wasn't the case this time I can tell you. I went straight to the envelope as I new it would be one of Dave's prints inside (one advantage or running the exchange). Well what can I say I wasn't disapointed. This is a gorgeous print taken whilst at the last UK APUG meet in Northumberland. The Oriental Seagull paper is looks a great paper; it's a pity it's no longer made
If the Rollei ever gets too heavy for you Dave, you know I'll give it a good home

[Video] 2012 DJ Expo - Gemini CDMP-7000 Rundown
While we were over at the Gemini Booth at the 2012 Atlantic City DJ Expo we were treated to the CDJ-650 rundown video and we were also given a full rundown video of the new CDMP-7000.
The Gemini DJ CDMP-7000 can work as a MIDI controller, a stand alone mixer, or independent CDJ-700's with their own dedicated Line level outputs. The Mixer can be used on its own and so can the decks. Basically what we have here is a full 3-channel mixer with two CDJ-700's mashed together into one unit. These are going to come in at $1000, so the value is tremendous since one CDJ-700 will run you about $699 by itself! We'll be sure to get one of these for a full HD-Video review as soon as they are released shortly. Stay Tuned!

San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - David Fales threw for 305 yards and three touchdowns to lead the San Jose State Spartans to a 20-14 triumph over the BYU Cougars in a non-conference matchup at Spartan Stadium.
Noel Grigsby caught eight balls for 132 yards and a pair of scores for San Jose State (9-2) which has won five straight.
Riley Nelson completed 28-of-51 pass attempts for 335 yards, a touchdown and an interception for BYU (6-5). Cody Hoffman brought in 13 of those passes for 155 yards. Jamaal Williams led the way on the ground with 62 yards and a touchdown.
Grigsby scored on a 51-yard touchdown pass from Fales early in the first quarter. However the extra point attempt was blocked putting the Spartans ahead 6-0.
Williams then scored on a 16-yard touchdown run to push BYU ahead 7-6.
The Spartans answered with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Fales to Chandler Jones.
Grigsby's second touchdown reception, an 18-yard pass from Fales, pushed the Spartans further ahead.
The Cougars would get a 20-yard touchdown pass from Nelson to David Foote with just voer two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
BYU then recovered a successful on-side kick attempt but on the seventh play of the ensuing drive Nelson fumbled the ball which was recovered by San Jose State. The Spartans were then able to run out the clock.
The Cougars lost despite owning a 422-364 advantage in total yards.
