What's NEW?
Japan's health products market is one of the country's fastest growing sectors!
Japan is the top country in the world for longevity according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The ageing of society and an increasing number of active senior citizens, the need for prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, and growing awareness about beauty and anti-aging by middle and high age groups, are all factors that are contributing to the expansion of the health products industry in Japan. Meanwhile, the Japanese government is advocating the initiation of a healthy life industry as a strategy for economic growth.
Under new Japanese regulations that took effect in April 2015, health foods are now able to display functionality based on scientific evidence. This is aimed at stimulating economic growth in this sector. Similarly, the government is also promoting the development of other sectors of the health products industry, including dementia, exercise, and stress care related products and services.
In order to meet this growing demand and diversification of consumer needs, buyers and distributors in Japan are actively looking to source unique and innovative health products from around the world. This means that the opportunities in the Japanese market for overseas manufacturers and suppliers of health products have never been better.
For more than 33 years, the Tokyo Health Industry Show has continued to grow in-line with the expansion of Japan's health industry and the show is by far the largest event of its kind in the country. The 2016 edition will feature over 550 exhibitors organized into five professional show zones.

Room hire costs have been cut by more than 50 per cent in some cases. Hire of Malting Hall on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday is now £12 per hour, compared to £30 previously.
The community charge of £6 per hour for charitable and non-profit-making organisations in Malmesbury remains and there will be discounts for long-term bookings.

Apple Spurned Microsoft: Tech Edge
TheStreet) -- Something huge was missing from Steve Jobs' earnings call harangue: Microsoft (MSFT). When Jobs upstaged Apple's (AAPL) record financial performance story Monday to share some thoughts that have been weighing on his mind, he failed to mention the "evil empire" of Redmond, Wash.NEW YORK (
For several minutes Jobs tore into all the major demons out there that apparently threaten his company's greatness like the "avalanche" of 7-inch tablets, the stumbling BlackBerry shop Research In Motion (RIMM) and the fragmentation of Google's (GOOG) Android software. Coming from the beloved Apple chief -- who called out competitors by name -- the words had a piercing sting. But perhaps none was more hurt than Microsoft. Maybe it was out of spite, maybe it was a strange show of respect, but the real upshot was that Microsoft didn't make the cut as a key Apple rival. How could Jobs not include his long-time nemesis in the club? Why didn't he see fit to toss a barb at Microsoft, so Steve Ballmer could join Android's Andy Rubin or RIM's Jim Balsillie with a nifty little reply? Make no mistake. This is a cruel slight by Jobs. Microsoft has to be reeling at this point. How could it not register in Jobs' mind? Didn't Microsoft just host a splashy New York debut party for its Window phone 7 software last week? The advertising campaign for Windows Phone 7 is expected to be $100 million, but that doesn't buy even a mention in Jobs' tirade? Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg got a much bigger bang for his public relations buck when he pledged $100 million to the Newark, N.J. school system. The first Microsoft Windows 7 phones hit the market next month, and somewhere in that vast marketing colossus, they have to be livid that there's no Jobs venom to endorse the effort. --Written by Scott Moritz in New York. >To contact this writer, click here: Scott Moritz, or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Who: Pete Molinari
P. Kelly for Pete Molinari
Where: Northwest Court Stage
When: 6:45 p.m.
Pete Molinari plays American blues with a British accent--quite literally. In spite of his jukebox sound, his all-too-aware Presley-esque "Thank you very much," and his confessed (if not already obvious) affinity for Hank Williams and Billie Holiday, Molinari's records are only available to us Yanks as imports.
His dry humor and his Beatles jokes are well aware of that, though, and as a performer he's not your typical, heartbreakingly nostalgic blues homage either. This was the daintiest, quirkiest blues set I've ever seen. Pete Molinari doesn't even try to pretend he's a rock 'n' roll star. He comes out in striped pants and a purple blazer, commenting on his drummer's "mighty fine hairdo," a crowd member's "mighty fine shirt," and someone else's "mighty fine mustache." Between songs, he announces that he's sipping "a little drink of tea. Very rock and roll," and it all seems to resemble Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka had he nursed a different hobby.
Though it all seems contradictory, Molinari doesn't stray from the sound he knows best, which is what matters after all. Molinari and his band could be plucked right from a great American era, rife with rumbling cowboy chords, twist-friendly clap beats, and that casual boyish vocal that bounced off your ma's locker once upon a time.

As previously reported, Broadway stalwart Bailey/Coy Books succumbed to the cruel recession last month. And, in addition to the slumping economy, pressure from big-box retailers and Amazon probably didn't help the fate of the 26-year-old store, which had a strong presence in the LGBT community. The store closed Nov. 20, but tonight a festive wake and auction will be held.
Wells closed his store with regret.
Owner Michael Wells, who has long-fretted about the retail meltdown on Cap Hill, will be there. Items to be auctioned include boxer shorts signed by David Sedaris, cartoons by former locals Matt Groening and Lynda Barry, a painting by Seattle artist Ellen Forney, and other wares. Fuschia Foxxx and Dina Martina will host. Stand-by tickets may still be available at the bookstore door. 414 Broadway E., $40, 6 p.m., Thurs. Dec. 3.

Unique Changes Made to Consumers Credit Union's Free Rewards Checking
Consumers Credit Union made several changes to its Free Rewards Checking Account that many savers should appreciate. First, you can now earn 5.09% APY for balances up to $10,000. Before this change you could only earn 3.09% APY for balances up to $5,000. However, qualifying for the 5.09% APY is not easy. If you don't qualify for 5.09%, you can still qualify for 4.09% or 3.09%. If existing members have been earning 3.09% before, they can continue to earn 3.09% with no additional work. In that case the only change will be that balances up to $10,000 can now earn 3.09% instead of just $5,000. So this change is only good news for savers. Below is a summary of what's required for each month to qualify for these three rate tiers. This summary is based on the credit union's Free Rewards Checking page as of 3/4/2014:
Qualifying for 5.09% APY for up to $10,000:
- Meet the requirements to earn 3.09% APY
- Spend $1,000 or more in CCU VISA purchase transactions, regardless number of purchases
Qualifying for 4.09% APY for up to $10,000:
- Meet the requirements to earn 3.09% APY
- Complete 12 CCU VISA Credit Card purchase transactions, No minimum purchase requirement.
Qualifying for 3.09% APY for up to $10,000 (same as before):
- 12 signature-based debit card purchases
- One direct deposit OR one ACH debit OR online bill pay
- Access online banking
- Receive electronic statements
When you meet all of the basic service requirements for the calendar month, ATM fees incurred during the month will be refunded to you.
Rewards Checking History
Consumers Credit Union's reward checking account has a long history. I first reported on this account over six years ago on August 2007. At that time it was paying 6.01% APY for balances up to $25K. Even though the rate and balance cap have fallen, it's nice to see that the account is still going strong.
My Take on the Changes
First, I'm glad they raised the balance cap from $5K to $10K (A higher cap would have been even better). Earning the higher interest rates will require some work. So not everyone may embrace these new rate tiers.
To qualify for the 4.09% APY will require 12 credit card purchases per month in addition to the 12 debit card purchases. So that essentially doubles the work you have to do. It's interesting that they don't seem to give the option of allowing members to use only the credit card for all purchases. That would be a nice feature for those who don't like debit cards.
To qualify for the 5.09% APY will require monthly purchases of at least $1,000 with the VISA card. Not many savers may be willing to spend that much on a card that doesn't offer cash back rewards.
How much more money can you make from the higher interest rates? If you maintain a $10,000 balance, the 5.09% APY will earn an extra $200 per year and the 4.09% APY will earn an extra $100 per year. If you only look at this from a financial point-of-view, the best strategy would be to only work for the 4.09% APY, and to use a cash back credit card for making large purchases. If you make $12,000 purchases in a year, you can typically earn at least $120 (1%) by using a cash back credit card.
Easy Credit Union Membership
The credit union continues to make it easy for anyone to join. According to its membership page:
Membership follows a simple, two-step process: Pay a one-time, non-refundable $5 fee to our sponsor, the Consumers Cooperative Association, and then deposit and maintain a minimum $5 in your Membership Share/Savings Account.
There's an online application. It appears to allow you to apply for both the association membership and the credit union membership at the same time. When you select the option "I am a new Consumers Credit Union Member" in the first page of the application, it will display the following:
All credit unions have a common bond and their members need to be associated with it in order to join the credit union. At Consumers Credit Union (CCU), our common bond is the Consumers Cooperative Association (CCA). You join CCA by paying a one-time fee of $5.00.
Credit Union Overview
Consumers Credit Union branches are located in the Illinois cities of Gurnee, Mundelein, Round Lake Beach, Gurnee, Volo and Waukegan. Consumers Credit Union is part of the CU Service Centers network which allows you to perform many banking transactions at any credit union that's part of the network.
The credit union has an overall health grade at DepositAccounts.com of a B+ with a Texas Ratio of 9.65% (excellent) based on September 2013 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Consumers Credit Union for more details. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 68588).
How This Reward Checking Compares
If you can handle the credit card usage requirements, you can earn a higher interest rate in CCU's Free Rewards Checking account than any other nationally available reward checking account. However, the $10K balance cap still hurts the deal. You can earn 3.00% APY for balances up to $20K at INOVA Federal Credit Union, and 3.00% APY for balances up to $15K at Lake Michigan Credit Union. If you maintain a balance up to the caps, you'll earn more interest at INOVA than at Consumers even if you can qualify for the 5.09% APY. These rates are accurate as of 3/4/2014.
To find the best reward checking accounts in your area or that are available nationwide, please refer to our reward checking account table. Use the "Filter Accounts" button on top of the table to select either nationwide accounts and/or your state. Also, you can use this button to select the investment amount. This allows you to compare accounts with different rate tiers. For more details about how to use the rate tables, please refer to our rate table guide.

That screenshot looks amazing! Had to look twice to determine it wasn't a photo!
I'm getting pretty fed up with the endless stream of countdowns here on moddb.
My thoughts exactly..
The mod will be linear, but of course there will be a certain degree of freedom in how you're able to reach a certain point. How far we will take this freedom is up to MasterDonut. He can probably answer this question better than me ;)
Yes, of course! :P
Remember that it is taking place a hunderd years from now. Globalization will be in a much further stage than it is currently, which means English is probably the main language of the whole world.
Lol, you guys are crazy xD
Lol, someone's breathing heavily through the modcast :|

Hmm, will the soundtrack be sold somewhere? I'm really digging it so far.
I wouldn't say this mod offers 'over 30 minutes of gameplay', I finished it in barely 15 minutes... Nevertheless, this mod showed some quality mapping and interesting storytelling. Adding developer commentary and bonus maps is all nice and well, but I don't think it really fits a mod of this size. Anyway, keep it up and make sure the next episode is a bit longer!
This was interesting.. didn't finish it entirely though. It was a bit too long and repetitive for my taste. But good job anyway :)
Nope, it's not just you :)
I just love the music! Looking forward to the release.
Looking good, will try it out when it's released!
It's not working for me, it says "Video stream not found".
Be patient :D
Thanks! And don't worry, we're more alive than ever!

so very lovely, great pic
Very nice image, it would look great in black and white too
great photo. gorgeous model. well done
normally i'm not so for lingerie photos but i really like this one! The model is very pretty!
This would be pretty. It would be. If the model didn't look like a man with a push-up bra.
Hermosa imagen.
sexy... love the light... and the heels of course
I love the hair!! Omg soooo hot!!
this is a beautiful picture

good stuff!
I like this but the black tights and shoes do not fit when she has a creme colourd top and panties....
The Girl , the pose the light, just AMAZING and gives her such innocent look despite what she is wearing.
Very beautiful!
Nice but darker would have been be betteer
I can never look at red heads the same
Very Sexy & Beautiful!!

why is this featured?
why is this featured?
I'd say this is featured not because her good looks, but because this is a well composed photography. Her pose makes for an interesting view and the lighting in the background is brilliant, giving her a lovely glow. At the same time it doesn't take away the vibrance of the colors.
That's all I've got to say about that.
That's all I've got to say about that.
I like when you try so hard
I wouldn't say I try hard Ed, I'm just pointing out what, to me at least, is quite obvious about the composition of this photography.
composition is somewhat good.but thats not the thing that separates this from milions of other photos on this site
Well. There are a million similar photos and a million similar pieces of artwork. It's hard to do something completely original and unseen in this day and age, so why nitpick about it and not just try to appreciate the individual pieces or just let them be altogether?
why would I?
all that funny appreciation you people are talking about isnt working,its
imposible.thing is here that there are always better things around here
that for some reason dont get featured.

The "better" things, as you put it, don't get featured is because the right person/people haven't seen them, that's all there is to it I'd say. I agree with you wholeheartedly that there are a bunch of awesome pieces of art out there that should be featured but never is! But that is, as I said, just because the right person haven't seen them and thus it hasn't happened.
Hopefully they will be seen eventually and get the feature they deserve, in the meantime I'll just enjoy those who did get featured and try to see why they did

Of the 17 wells placed on production, two wells are located in northern Upton county in the Giddings Estate area, and 15 wells are located further south in Upton and Reagan counties in the University Lands area.Pioneer's first two successful horizontal Wolfcamp Shale wells were drilled in northern Upton County in the Upper B interval in the Giddings Estate area. The first well had its one-year anniversary from first production in mid-October and has produced 135 thousand barrels oil equivalent (MBOE) to date. The second well has been on production for ten months and has delivered cumulative production of 105 MBOE. For perspective, a typical vertical well drilled to the Wolfcamp interval generally takes 40 years to 50 years to produce 140 MBOE.

So I've figured out the problem with my laptop not starting up is the hard drive (since I can boot from a USB drive).
I've been looking on newegg.com to find a replacement, how do I know it's compatible? I've got an HP Pavilion dv2000. (As a side note, I've had nothing but troubles with this laptop. Sadly, it's not covered by a warranty anymore, but it hasn't worked in more than a year.)
How can I be sure I'm buying the right hard drive? I'm looking for a cheap drive, meaning not too many gb. The computer won't be used to store much, so there's not much use in extra drive space. Also, would I be able to buy a cheap SSD (by cheap, I mean less gb so the overall cost is low, I know they're expensive pieces of hardware). Or does the computer have to be built to use SSD drives?

$700 for 2TB of SSD goodness
Subject: Storage | September 29, 2015 - 07:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tlc, ssd, Samsung 850 EVO 2 TB, 850 EVO, 2TB
That's right, currently $713 will pick you up a 2TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD but how does it perform? The Tech Report is on the case with their latest review, checking out how 32-layer 128Gbit 3D V-NAND with 2GB of DRAM cache and an upgraded Samsung MHX controller perform. It took some doing but once they had filled its over-provisioned area the drive levelled out at 7252 IOps on the random write test though the peak of 84423 was certainly impressive. Check out the full review to see if this is the large sized SSD for you or if you prefer smaller, more agile SSDs which do not use TLC NAND.
If you are like me and running out of mental storage space, you may have already forgotten about Al's review of this drive.
"Samsung now offers its popular and affordable 850 EVO SSD in an enormous 2TB configuration. We put the EVO to the test to see how this behemoth performs"

FMS 2015: Samsung's New 256Gbit VNAND Enables 16TB PM1633a Datacenter SSD
Subject: Storage | August 11, 2015 - 04:59 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: Samsung, vnand, 48-layer, tlc, 16TB, FMS 2015
I get these emails and comments all the time - "I want a larger capacity SSD". Ok, here ya go:
Samsung's earlier 48-layer VNAND announcement was exciting, but we already knew about it going into the keynote. What we did not know was that Samsung was going to blew the doors off of their keynote when they dropped this little gem. It's not just the largest capacity SSD, as this thing is more dense than any HDD's available today as well. That's 16TB of 48-layer TLC VNAND packed into a 2.5" form factor SAS-connected SSD.
...now what do you do once you have such a high density device? Well, you figure out how many you can cram into a 2U chassis of course!
Yup, that's 48 of those new SSDs, making for a capacity of 768TB in a 2U chassis. Samsung described this as a "JBOF" (Just a Bunch Of Flash), so processing the 2 million IOPS this array is capable of will have to be left to the connected system.
No word on pricing, but I'd think we are in 'mortgage the house' territory if you want to put this into your home PC.
There is more to follow from Flash Memory Summit, but for now I've got to run to another meeting!
FMS 2015: *UPDATED* Samsung Adds Layers to its 3D VNAND, Doubling Capacity While Reducing Power Consumption
Subject: Storage | August 11, 2015 - 04:39 PM | Allyn Malventano

FMS 2015: Samsung Adds Layers to its 3D VNAND, Doubling Capacity While Reducing Power Consumption
Samsung recently added 2TB capacity parts to their 850 EVO SATA SSDs, but today's announcement may double that. Today at Flash Memory Summit, Samsung has announced a new iteration on their 3D VNAND technology.
Cross section of Samsung 32-layer VNAND. (TechInsights)
The announcement is a new TLC 3D VNAND (the type present in the 850 EVO Series). The new parts consist of an updated die with the following improvements:
- 48 layer VNAND - up from 32 layers of the previous generation
- 256Gbit (32GB) capacity - up from 128Gbit (16GB) capacity of 32-layer VNAND
- 30% reduction in power consumption over 32-layer VNAND
Samsung's new 48-layer VNAND.
I suspected Samsung would go this route in order to compete with the recent announcements from Intel/Micron and SanDisk. Larger die capacities may not be the best thing for keeping performance high in smaller capacity SSDs (a higher number of smaller capacity dies helps there), but it is definitely a good capability to have since higher capacity per die translates to more efficient flash die production.
The Samsung keynote is at noon today (Pacific), and I will update this piece with any photos relevant to the announcement after that keynote.
I just got out of the Samsung keynote. There were some additional slides with data relevant to this post:
This image simply shows the additional vertical stacking, but adds that Samsung has this new flash in production right now.
The new higher capacity dies enable 1.4x greater density per wafer (realize that this does not mean more dies per wafer, as the image incorrectly suggests).
The power consumption improvements (right) were in the press release, however the speed improvements (left) were not. A 2x improvement in per-die speeds means that Samsung should not see a performance hit if they migrate their existing 128Gbit TLC VNAND SSDs over to these new 256Gbit parts. Speaking of which...
Not only is this new VNAND being produced *this month*, Samsung is retrofitting their 850 EVO line with the new parts. Again, we expect no performance delta but will likely retest these new versions just to double check for any outliers.
There was some more great info from the keynote, but that will appear in another post later today.
Samsung's press blast appears after the break.
Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Since their acquisition by Toshiba in early 2014, OCZ has gradually transitioned their line of SSD products to include parts provided by their parent company. Existing products were switched over to Toshiba flash memory, and that transition went fairly smoothly, save the recent launch of their Vector 180 (which had a couple of issues noted in our review). After that release, we waited for the next release from OCZ, hoping for something fresh, and that appears to have just happened:
OCZ sent us a round of samples for their new OCZ Trion 100 SSD. This SSD was first teased at Computex 2015. This new model would not only use Toshiba sourced flash memory, it would also displace the OCZ / Indilinx Barefoot controller with Toshiba's own. Then named 'Alishan', this is now officially called the 'Toshiba Controller TC58'. As we found out during Computex, this controller employs Toshiba's proprietary Quadruple Swing-By Code (QSBC) error correction technology:
Error correction tech gets very wordy, windy, and technical and does so very quickly, so I'll do my best to simplify things. Error correction is basically some information interleaved within the data stored on a given medium. Pretty much everything uses it in some form or another. Some Those 700MB CD-R's you used to burn could physically hold over 1GB of data, but all of that extra 'unavailable' space was error correction necessary to deal with the possible scratches and dust over time. Hard drives do the same sort of thing, with recent changes to how the data is interleaved. Early flash memory employed the same sort of simple error correction techniques initially, but advances in understanding of flash memory error modes have led to advances in flash-specific error correction techniques. More advanced algorithms require more advanced math that may not easily lend itself to hardware acceleration. Referencing the above graphic, BCH is simple to perform when needed, while LDPC is known to be more CPU (read SSD controller CPU) intensive. Toshiba's proprietary QSB tech claims to be 8x more capable of correcting errors, but what don't know what, if any, performance penalty exists on account of it.
We will revisit this topic a bit later in the review, but for now lets focus on the other things we know about the Trion 100. The easiest way to explain it is this is essentially Toshiba's answer to the Samsung EVO series of SSDs. This Toshiba flash is configured in a similar fashion, meaning the bulk of it operates in TLC mode, while a portion is segmented off and operates as a faster SLC-mode cache. Writes first go to the SLC area and are purged to TLC in the background during idle time. Continuous writes exceeding the SLC cache size will drop to the write speed of the TLC flash.
Computex 2015: Micron Announces 16nm TLC For Consumer SSDs
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | June 2, 2015 - 11:47 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: tlc, ssd, micron, flash, computex 2015, computex, 16nm
Chugging right along that TechInsights Flash Roadmap we saw last year, Micron has announced the TLC extension to their 16nm flash memory process node.
While 16nm TLC was initially promised Q4 of 2014, I believe Micron distracted themselves a little with their dabbles into Dynamic Write Acceleration technology. No doubt wanting to offer ever more cost effective SSDs to their portfolio, the new TLC 16nm flash will take up less die space for the same capacity, meaning more dies per 300mm wafer, ultimately translating to lower cost/GB of consumer SSDs.
Micron's 16nm (MLC) flash
The Crucial MX200 and BX100 SSDs have already been undercutting the competition in cost/GB, so the possibility of even lower cost SSDs is a more than welcome idea - just so long as they can keep the reliability of these parts high enough. IMFT has a very solid track record in this regard, so I don't suspect any surprises in that regard.
Full press blast appears after the break.
Samsung 840 EVO Standalone ISO Updater Now Available
Subject: Storage | April 28, 2015 - 12:44 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: TurboWrite, tlc, ssd, slc, Samsung, 840 evo
For those of you following the Samsung 840 EVO saga, last week we saw the release of Magician 4.6. Samsung was initially throttling downloads and firmware update rates, but those limits appear to have been lifted as of this morning. Another thing we noticed this morning was the inclusion of the standalone ISO updater for those who are otherwise unable to run the Magician software (i.e. Mac users):
For those on laptops or other devices with no optical drive, I've confirmed the ISO can be used via USB if placed there with a tool such as Rufus.
Note to Linux users:
There was an early report of complications from a user who was running a full disk fstrim during boot, where that operation was causing errors (corrected once that operation was disabled). It should be noted that full disk TRIM operations are redundant so long as the OS is issuing TRIM on-the-fly during regular file moves / deletions. This may be an issue with queued TRIM handling of the new 840 EVO firmware. If not reproduced / corrected by Samsung, the Linux devs may be able to add this firmware revision to the queued TRIM blacklist to possibly fix the problem on their end.
Note to mSATA 840 EVO users:
It appears the update does not currently apply to these. I've asked Samsung about this.
Samsung Magician 4.6 and 840 EVO Firmware Released - Downloads Throttled
Subject: Storage | April 23, 2015 - 02:21 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: TurboWrite, tlc, ssd, slc, Samsung, 840 evo
For those who watched last night's podcast live, I predicted that Samsung would be posting their 840 EVO Firmware and new Magician 4.6 software 'soon'. Turns out that 'soon' was actually this morning, but there's a catch - Samsung decided to limit the daily downloads:
If you went to the Samsung SSD Download Page and got the above error, don't fret, there are a few mirrors out there:
I downloaded from these three sources and at the time of this posting can confirm all three are identical to the Magician 4.6 download available from Samsung.
Once installed, you *should* be able to use Magician to update the firmware on your 840 EVO and (hopefully) see its performance come back to where it should be. There have been some reports of users unable to update, but that appears to be Samsung's servers being hammered and Magician's default / timeout is to report that you are on the latest firmware. Restarting Magician may force it to re-check and get the update.
Linux and Mac users are not yet able to update as the ISO updater has not been released for the new firmware. Those capable can update their Linux or Mac 840 EVOs connected as a secondary drive under Windows with Magician 4.6 installed. Also, if you're running Linux and happen use fstrim during boot, read this post prior to updating.
Meet Silicon Motion's new flash agnostic controller
Subject: Storage | March 3, 2015 - 06:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tlc, ssd, SM2256, slc, silicon motion
You may remember the Silicon Motion SM2256 SSD controller that Al reported on during CES this year, even if you do not you should be interested in a controller which can work with 1x/1y/1z nm TLC NAND from any manufacturer on the market. The SSD Review managed to get a prototype which uses the new SM2256 controller, Samsung's 19nm TLC planar NAND flash and a Hynix 440Mhz 256MB DDR3 DRAM chip. In benchmarking they saw 548MB/s sequential reads and 484MB/s writes, with 4K slowing down to 38MB/s for read and 110MB/s for write. Check out the rest of the review here as well as keeping your eyes peeled for our first review of the new controller.
"Controllers are the heart and soul of every SSD. Without one, an SSD would be a useless PCB with some components slapped on it. It is responsible for everything from garbage collection and wear leveling to error correction and hardware encryption. In simple terms, all these operations can be quite complicated to implement as well as expensive to develop."

CES 2015: Silicon Motion SM2256 seen in action, capable of hybrid TLC/SLC caching
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2015 - 01:17 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: CES, ces 2015, silicon motion, SM2256, ssd, tlc, slc
We first saw the Silicon Motion SM2256 controller at Flash Memory Summit, but now we've seen it live, in action, and driving several different types of TLC NAND.
Silicon Motion had this live demo running on a testbed at their suite:
The performance looked very good considering the 2256 is designed to efficiently push TLC flash, which is slower than MLC. As their representative was explaining that the SM2256 is currently being tested with Samsung, Toshiba, and SK Hynix TLC flash, I noticed the HDTune write trace:
Those familiar with HDTune and Samsung SSDs with Samsung's TurboWrite cache (from the 840/850 EVO) will recognize the above - the SSD begins writing at SLC speed and after that cache is full, the SSD then drops to writing at TLC speed. I specifically asked about this, as we've only Samsung flash provisioned with an SLC portion of each die, and the answer was that Toshiba and SK Hynix TLC flash also supports such a subdivision. This is good news, as it means increased competition from competing SSDs that can accomplish the same SLC burst writes as the Samsung EVO series.
We heard from a few vendors that will soon be launching SM2256 equipped SSDs this year, and we eagerly await the opportunity to see what they are capable of.

Thinking About the Minimum Wage Outside the Box
In the past, I have written about the minimum wage, especially as it applied to a referendum in New Jersey in 2013 which the voters stupidly approved. Personally, I have nothing against a minimum wage per se, but in the case of New Jersey, they not only increased it starting in 2014, but then they linked future increases to the CPI. Then to make matters | Read More »

Geography and Empire in the Late Renaissance. Botero's Assignment, Western Universalism, and the Civilizing Process [*]
Headley, John M., Renaissance Quarterly
The article seeks to relate the emerging, new discipline of geography to the European and specifically the Iberian, Catholic experience of expansion, power, and empire in those decades of Spain's alignment with Portugal and their respective colonial enterprises. The case of Giovanni Botero, the preeminent Italian interpreter of America for the later sixteenth century, is examined in terms of Catholic expansion, world geography, hut more immediately in terms of the European civilizing process on the indigenous peoples of America as that process pertains to the pre-Columbian civilizations, Christian conversion and the concurrent practice of the reducciones.
The present essay attempts to draw out and explicate the case for that complex of forces constituting within the Western tradition a comprehensive, unifying, universalizing process released upon the globe by Renaissance Europe, and now peculiarly reinforced by an incipient geographical culture. The inherent imperialism of Europe's geographical knowledge, best known in the work of the Royal Geographical Society during the nineteenth century, [1] had its earliest manifestations in the new trajectory upon which England embarked after 1575 [2] and, as will be argued here, in the practices and attitudes of the Catholic world of Spain and of Rome in America, Asia, and Africa -- in short, wherever new lands and non-European peoples appeared and even where they did not. But in contrast to the better known English example with its distinctively emergent national character, the Iberian, reflecting a Mediterranean culture with pronounced classical roots and antecedents, will evince a more universalizing character in its commitment to a civilizing process.
For such a broad inquiry a few preliminary definitions are in order. From the very beginning of their currency in Europe, the terms geography and cosmography and their connotations would be intertwined, expressive of their common source in Claudius Ptolemy's own Geographia, which in its first Latin translation by Jacopo Angeli da Scarperia would be entided Cosmographia. The same Ptolemy of the better known astronomical Almagest defines at the outset of his Geographia the decisive term "as the pictorial representation of the entire known earth and with what it is generally associated"; chorography, from which it is distinguished, treats the individual local parts. [3] Most simply stated, the geography inherited from classical antiquity included three branches: the mathematical, the chorographic, and the descriptive, the first best evinced by Ptolemy, the last by Strabo. [4] Cosmography figures only as another name, derived from Pliny and imported by Angeli, in keeping with the understanding of the Latins and their respect for the authority of Pliny the Elder. [5] Ptolemy mathematized geography, by treating the celestial and terrestrial globes as equivalent, applying the same grid system to each, and reaffirming the parallel belts or climates. [6] Indeed the charting of the heavens and of the earth would remain so enmeshed that it is possible Ptolemy's crucial third projection for the earth's surface, presented in book 7, was actually constructed through the use of an armillary, the traditional sphere for the construction of the heavens. [7] The gradual detachment of these terms and their substantive connotations would in the course of the sixteenth century lead to the displacement of cosmographia in flavor of geographia, although the former name would linger on until the end of the eighteenth century.
Secondly, as used in this study, the term universal connotes that principle inherited from classical antiquity expressing a potentially comprehensive integration or inclusion of all peoples into a broad community together with the theoretical, legal, and constitutional issues entailed. [8] The expanding oikoumene of the Greek world, informed by the Stoic notion of cosmopolis, found its practical realization in the Roman Empire and Roman Law. …

New All-natural Food To Keep Dogs Healthy During 'Responsible Pet Owner's Month'
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With "Responsible Pet Owner's Month" in full swing this month, pet parents are looking for innovative ways to better care for their pets. And providing healthy food options is a significant aspect of being responsible pet owners. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130214/NY60012 )But the recent flurry of dog food and treat recalls – from the spring of 2007 to as recent as January 2013 – has caused a ripple of doubt regarding where consumers can turn for their safe and healthy dog food needs. Long-term pet owner Fleur Bailey and creator of Maddie's Mash – a line of all natural, homemade dog food supplements – offers great options so caregivers can offer all the necessary nutritional benefits while providing delicious and affordable homemade food for their pets. Inspired by her dog Madison, also known as Maddie, a Dalmatian who lost her appetite while suffering from lymphoma, Bailey created recipes that helped spark Maddie's appetite when the chemotherapy treatments started to negatively affect it. After Maddie lost her battle to cancer, Bailey launched the dog food supplement line to keep the dog's memory alive and help other dog owners provide the best possible food for their pets – whether they are healthy or under a vet's care. The high-quality recipes are prepared from all-natural ingredients locally grown and raised in Hudson Valley and the Catskills in New York. Research-based and specially formulated to include specific nutrients for a dog's well being, Maddie's Mash contains only human-grade ingredients that have been approved by local and holistic veterinarians and a variety of dog breeders. These meals promote healthier skin, a better immune system, stronger bones and joints, and fewer chronic digestive problems. "As a veterinarian who has worked closely with animals for almost two decades, I always tell pet owners that one of the keys to long-term dog health is through proper nutrition. The best way to do that is to provide your dog with healthy well-balanced meals," said New York Veterinarian Dr. Richard Schwalb. "Understanding what that means can be complicated. Maddie's Mash contains only all-natural ingredients to mix with your dog's existing dry food. It's a great way to add fresh ingredients and important vitamins to your dog's daily diet." Pet owners can rest assured the ingredients are great for dogs because the easy-to-read labels clearly state the natural ingredients included in the food as well as a list of unhealthy ingredients that are excluded from the products. The dog food labels also go a step further to include the calorie count, feeding guidelines and expiration date.

About Me
Recently I learned that there are over 1,000 centenarians living in the U. S., in the state of Oklahoma. The oldest on record is 115, and she is reported to be remarkably healthy and managing her life with only minimal assistance. A colleague shared his insight on a conversation he had with a woman who is 107 years old and how he was stunned to realize she has already lived over three times as long as he has been alive. This got me thinking about what it might be like to live so long, and what the world might be like if I live to be 100+ years in this body. I realized there's no reason to wait any longer to do what I've been dreaming of doing for so long. Permaculture, Regional Agriculture and Small Business, Artistic Expression. Collaborative Networking for Sharing Expertise and Funding Administrative Management, Yoga Practice Education, Finding Flow through Chaos
My Vision for the Future
Develop an interactive and educational small regional homestead based on permaculture practices and a profitable arts based cottage industry.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Town Hall Theater (THT) Executive Director Douglas Anderson metaphorically looks upon entertainment ideas as tiny flames that should be fanned to burn brightly on the community's stage. And Anderson has been doing a lot of fanning these days on some new ventures that could soon ignite a veritable blaze of visual and auditory pyrotechnics at the THT.

BRISTOL — A Bristol police district resident contacted police in July about a potential scam.
The resident on July 12 received a $1,900 check from New Bedford Symphony Orchestra of New Bedford, Mass., drawn on Sovereign Bank. The check was made out to the resident and attached to an enclosed letter from "Trans Financial Company (Lottery & Resource Management)" advising of a lottery winning in the amount of $250,000.
The letter requested $1,600 paid via Western Union in order to claim the $250,000 winnings.
VERGENNES — Residents of the John Graham Emergency Homeless Shelter's main building this week are staying in other Vergennes properties owned by the nonprofit agency — or in the case of at least one family, camping at Button Bay State Park — while heating improvements are made and other maintenance is performed at the Graham Shelter's 69 Monkton Road home.
MONKTON — Vermont's plethora of craft breweries are about to get the opportunity to source their malt locally. Andrew Peterson, 44, of Monkton is launching Vermont's first commercial malt house this fall.
NEW HAVEN — With lightning providing a dramatic backdrop at Addison County Fair and Field Days on Thursday night, Ferrisburgh's Andy Husk and what was left of his bright blue four-door sedan won the No. 1 Auto Parts Demo Derby feature after delivering one final blow to Chuck Havens' bigger, but no longer mobile, black car.
Husk's victory capped an evening in which the popular annual demo derby just dodged the thunderstorm, but was halted for about 20 minutes when Leicester's Joe Kemp was injured in the evening's second heat.
Editor's note: Addison County Fair and Field Days offers so much to look at, smell, hear, touch and taste that to put it all into one story would be impossible. Our reporters and photographers brought home the following vignettes and pictures from the New Haven fairgrounds to give you some sense of the scope of the 65th annual fair last week.
WEST HAVEN — Veteran Middlebury driver Todd Stone held off young up-and-comer Jessey Mueller to win the Devil's Bowl Speedway's most important open-wheel Modified event on Aug. 2, taking the second annual Carrara Masonry & Concrete C.J. Richards Memorial 67.

I've seen people
who have given Druddigon a Rocky Helmet, which when paired with Rough Skin does quite a bit of damage. It should be noted that this Druddigon employed a Stealth Rock + Dragon Tail strategy to weaken several Pokemon at once and gain momentum (as it was as serving as a lead) so a Choice item would have been a hindrance, more than anything. While Leftovers or a Life Orb might have seemed more smart, I think the Rocky Helmet was the best choice; it allowed Druddigon to have the opponent think twice about attacking with contact moves, especially if said physical sweeper was frail, boosting Druddigon's longevity.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) --
Gov.-elect Rick Scott says Jesus Christ has been there for him throughout his life.
Prayers from multiple faiths were offered during a breakfast
shortly before Scott's formal swearing-in Tuesday, Jan. 4. A crowd of
roughly 1,500 attended the ceremony at Florida A&M University.
The incoming governor made a point of praising the Constitution
which allows religious freedom and gives Americans a choice in what
to believe.
Scott said there is no better way than to begin his governorship
with the prayers of the people he'll serve.
A conservative Republican from Naples who came from nowhere to
win the governor's race, Scott said he appreciated the prayers that
sustained him during and up-and-down campaign.
