In one painting, delicate bluebells emerge into the light from beneath the dead leaves and detritus of the forest floor.
Another shows a pine tree growing from a layer of rocks containing fossils, rock formations and dirt.
Elaine Wolfe paints the natural world that she sees in front of her. A trained scientist and educator, she has parlayed her fascination with plants, animals and landscapes into a career in art.
Wolfe has combined her two passions into one, painting landscapes, seascapes and nature scenes infused with scientific accuracy.
The Southside Art League member has two paintings on display at the Cool Creek Nature Center's "Nature's Inspirations" exhibition. "Bluebells" and "Guia" capture the beauty of the natural world while retaining the essence of biology, botany and geology.
"I truly believe that God made this world absolutely beautiful. My idea of art is to show the world's beauty, not the ugliness. We see too much ugliness anyway," she said. "I want people to see the beauty around."
Wolfe had wanted to be a painter since she was a girl growing up in Indiana. But her mother would not allow her to pursue such a fickle and risky career. Instead, she went into biology.
She earned a bachelor's degree in biological sciences from Purdue University and a master's degree in vertebrate zoology from the University of California-Los Angeles. Additional degrees have been obtained in education from Indiana University.
Her 38-year career as a high school and college educator earned her awards and recognition, including the Outstanding Biology Teacher award from the National Association of Biology Teachers in 2004.
"I've worn two hats most of my life, teaching biology forever and painting. I retired in 2005, now all I do is artwork," she said.
While she has painted scenes of forests, grasslands and an occasional barn in Indiana, she also has traveled to six of the seven continents, capturing scenes of Italian cafes, the Spanish countryside and Tuscan villages.
Wolfe belongs to several area art organizations, including the Southside Art League, Hoosier Salon, Watercolor Society of Indiana and Hamilton County Artists Association.
She currently shows her paintings in the Center for Creative Arts Gallery in Zionsville, where she's been a member for 36 years.
"Nature's Inspirations" is ongoing through March 10 at the Cool Creek Nature Center, 2000 E. 151st St., Carmel. The center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and admission is free.
What led you to this type of painting?
I've sort of wedded my science to my art. It's one of those things that you do what you love. I wanted to be an artist. My mother would not let me. She told me I'd never make a living as an artist, and she was right. So I became a scientist. As a result, I'm able to retire and do what I wanted to as a child.
Considering your background in biology, is most of your artwork focused on the natural world?
It is. I do predominantly landscapes, but living in Indiana, of course I have to do some Indiana barns.
I'm also known for seascapes and for European architecture. But the biology comes in. My trees look like trees, and my animals look like animals.
How have your travels influenced your artwork?
I've been on all the continents except for Antarctica.
I've been in Australia and petted dingoes and wallabies and held a koala. I have a friend who lives in Egypt, so I've been there, and started out on a tour in Istanbul, Turkey. I've been to Venezuela, and I have very good friends in Bermuda. The typical teacher, if you have time off, what do you do? Well, you travel and see the world. I've been all over the place. I would like to give a sense of time and place to my artwork, so that somebody feels like they're experiencing the same feelings all over again.
Why did you choose the subjects for your two exhibited paintings?
"Guia" is the Greek word for Mother Earth. I taught all of the sciences in my teaching, and one of the sciences that I ended up doing very well in and winning a number of grants in had to do with geology and the earth.
You don't see very many paintings where people show geological formations.
"Guia" is an interesting painting. What I was actually showing was life above the earth, with a great big green pine tree.
The background is a very warm sunset with bright reds and golds. Underneath the tree, you see the roots probing into the earth, and you see the layers and the strata of the rock formations. In one, I even put in fossils. It's a very geological thing.
For "Bluebells," I happened to be at Eagle Creek Park one morning when the bluebells were in bloom, and I took a photograph.

For an industry that has survived drought and pestilence and has stepped up to meet the nation's needs in times of war and peace, the 17th annual Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show is just another stop on the way to making a modern farm more productive regardless of world circumstances.
Cygnus Expositions of Burnsville, Minn., plans on bringing more than 700 exhibits from 300 companies to the Amarillo Civic Center for the three-day show starting Nov. 27.
Dena Jensen, show coordinator for Cygnus, said the show has sold out once again on its display space just like last year, despite the national economic downturn and the uncertainties that have followed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and war in Afghanistan.
"We have adopted the philosophy to go on with our normal routine," Jensen said.
For the Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show, the normal routine is the busiest and most attended event of the year at the Amarillo Civic Center, said Kris Miller, Civic Center manager.
Miller said the farm show typically attracts between 30,000 and 45,000 people during its three-day run.
Jensen said Cygnus expects this year's show to run true to form.
"We're looking at it as being as great as we've experienced in the past," she said.
Among the new product displays will be tractors from John Deere and a telehandler, which is used in the baling process, she said. Case DMI will show new tillage equipment and Central City Scale will bring a new portable chute for ranching.
Additionally, Seed Resource will bring new varieties of sorghum and sedan grass, she said.
While such displays will be of professional interest to farmers and ranchers, the show isn't strictly limited in its appeal to those working in agribusiness.
Displays aimed at suburbanites will include lawn and garden equipment, Jensen said.
Past farm shows have included such items as salsa makers, cleaning supplies and gift items aimed at urban dwellers, Miller said.
The show will include a variety of events, including an Ag Appreciation Luncheon on the opening day sponsored by the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce. Don Taylor, executive director of West Texas A&M University's Office of Business Services and president and chief executive of Data Staar Communications, will speak on new profit concepts for agribusiness.
Meal tickets are $8. To attend, contact Sylvia Frisbie at the chamber at 806-373-7800 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. On Nov. 28, panel discussions of the farm bill and commodities outlook will sandwich an address by Gov. Rick Perry at the luncheon.
Additionally, boards will be elected for the Texas Wheat Producers Association, Texas Grain Sorghum Association and the Corn Producers Association of Texas.
The 17th annual Panhandle Farm & Ranch Management Symposium will take place on Nov. 29. Presentations will be made on Karnal bunt on wheat, sunflower production, the boll weevil eradication program and pesticide use.
Discussions of commodity future trading and an outlook on the grain market will occur Nov. 29.
Sponsors of the farm show include the Texas Wheat Producers, KFDA-TV, KGNC-AM, The High Plains Journal and the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

India's Information Technology (Amendment) Act 2008, passed by the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha in December 2008 and enforced since October 2009, extensively amends the Information Technology Act, 2000 (also known as ITA-2000).
The Act is administered by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) and applies to offences committed outside India as well as to those committed throughout India itself.
The IT Act 2000, which was based on the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Commerce, was originally enacted to provide legal recognition for e-commerce transactions.
It contained 13 chapters and 94 sections, and addressed digital signatures, the electronic filing of documents with government departments, electronic data storage, electronic fund transfers between financial institutions, and electronic bookkeeping by bankers.
However, the fast pace of technological change meant that by 2008 the Act needed substantial revision.
The 2008 Act comprises 14 chapters and 124 sections, and contains a number of amendments designed to address technological advances since the original Act, including the following:
The majority of offences under the IT Act 2008 are punishable by up to three years' imprisonment and a fine of up to one lakh rupees. Exceptions include offences relating to child pornography and other obscene materials, which are both punishable by up to seven years' imprisonment and a fine of up to ten lakh rupees for repeat offences. Cyber terrorism is punishable by up to life imprisonment.
Under the new Section 77B, offences which carry a punishment of three years' imprisonment – i.e. most cyber crimes under the Act – will be bailable.
There is substantial controversy surrounding the IT Amendment Act 2008.
Section 66A, which addresses the electronic sending of offensive material, has been widely criticised by freedom of speech campaigners as its ambiguity allows considerable room for interpretation. The term 'offensive material' has not been defined, allowing for a number of people to have been arrested – and imprisoned – for political comments made on social media sites. As a result, several public interest litigations (PILs) have been submitted to the Supreme Court, contending that the Act curbs freedom of speech and violates the Constitution.
Section 69 grants powers to government officials to 'intercept, monitor or decrypt or cause to be intercepted or monitored or decrypted any information generated, transmitted, received or stored in any computer resource', to 'block for access by the public or cause to be blocked for access by the public any information generated, transmitted, received, stored or hosted in any computer resource' and to 'monitor and collect traffic data or information generated, transmitted, received or stored in any computer resource.' These broad powers of surveillance and blocking are being contested by civil rights groups and protesters against Internet censorship in India.
Section 77B has been criticised for making most cyber crime offences bailable, and therefore enabling cyber criminals to continue their activities with little interruption as well as giving them the freedom to destroy electronic evidence of their wrongdoing.
According to the latest available figures from the National Criminal Records Bureau, 2,876 cyber crimes were registered and 1,522 arrests were made in India under the IT Act in 2012. Of the registered crimes, nearly 1,900 were for hacking, for which fewer than 750 people were arrested.
To put these figures into perspective, the Internet and Mobile Association of India has projected that the country would have 24.3 crore Internet users by June 2014. Internet penetration in India is still under 15%, but is increasing rapidly. The country's current population is estimated at 127 crore.
Organisations looking to seek compliance with the IT Act 2008 need to have a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) in order to manage their information effectively. Information security is a broad approach that addresses the security of information in all forms and covers paper documents, physical security and human error as well as the handling of digital data.
In order to achieve an effective cyber security posture, organisations must realise that hardware and software solutions alone are not enough to protect them from cyber threats and that a broader information security approach is needed. The three fundamental domains of effective information security are people, process and technology.
ISO27001 is the internationally recognised best-practice Standard that lays out the requirements of an ISMS and forms the backbone of every intelligent cyber security risk management strategy. Other standards, frameworks and methodologies need ISO27001 in order to deliver their specific added value.
Organisations with multiple compliance requirements often seek certification to ISO27001 as its comprehensive information security approach can centralise and simplify disjointed compliance efforts; it is often the case that companies will achieve compliance with a host of legislative requirements simply by achieving ISO27001 certification.
The latest version of the Standard, ISO27001:2013, is simple to follow and has been developed with business in mind. It presents a comprehensive and logical approach to developing, implementing and managing an ISMS, and provides associated guidance for conducting risk assessments and applying the necessary risk treatments. In addition, ISO27001:2013 has been developed in order to harmonise with other standards, so the process of auditing other ISO standards will be an integrated and smooth process, removing the need for multiple audits.
Further, the additional external validation offered by ISO27001 certification is likely to improve an organisation's cyber security posture while providing a higher level of confidence to customers and stakeholders – essential for securing certain global and government contracts.
Written by cyber security expert Alan Calder, this free guide details how to leverage ISO27001 as a single framework for creating a cyber secure enterprise while supporting adherence to the IT (Amendment) Act 2008 and many other information security laws.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of a pilot project Apoyo Integral is launching in conjunction with several local NGOs to support at-risk youth and their families with funding from Kiva. This loan product is tailored to young people who find themselves in a vulnerable situation due to the lack of access to eduation and a decent job. Moreover they are in high-risk situations because they are located in areas affected by extreme violence. Loans are combined with vocational, technical, and financial training to help these young people develop business ideas that will help them generate income, reintegrate into society, and support their dreams of being productive and contributing members of society.
Due to potential safety risks facing these youth, some of the loans are being disbursed to their parents in order to protect their identities. For the same reason, the faces of some Apoyo Integral borrowers may be blurred in photos. Apoyo Integral appreciates Kiva lenders' understanding of these challenges and encourages them to provide much-needed support to at-risk Salvadoran youth.
About Apoyo IntegralApoyo Integral (Apoyo) is a nonprofit organization offering financial products that enable clients to increase their working capital, purchase fixed assets, buy and remodel homes, expand agricultural business and more. The organization's target group is businessmen and women who have already established their businesses but need financial support to strengthen or expand them.
Like Kiva, Apoyo is committed to empowering women involved in business activities in rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand these services to an even greater number of poor clients in rural areas.

Broadening Broadband: Most Experts Agree That Broadband Would Benefit Everyone, but a Digital Divide Still Exists
Greenberg, Pam, State Legislatures
Back at the turn of the century, you could finish off a large, non-fat, decal, caramel latte with no foam in the time it took your computer to load a website. Now it happens before your second sip, virtually instantaneously, via a high-speed broadband connection.
Almost two-thirds of Americans now use broad band to connect to the Internet, up from just 3 percent in 2000, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And even though broadband is becoming more available, not everyone is taking advantage of its potential benefits. After a decade of strong growth, the public's adoption of broadband started to slow in 2009, just as $293 million in grants for new broadband projects from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act were being directed to states.
Who's Using Broadband?
Two recent surveys, one by the Pew project in 2012 and another by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in late 2010, confirm that gaps in broadband use among demographic groups remain. People who are poor, disabled, elderly, less-educated, single, unemployed, from a minority group or who live in rural areas lag behind in having Internet access at home and broadband specifically.
And despite the growing importance of the Internet to everyday life, more than one-quarter of Americans choose not to use the Internet at all. They cite lack of a computer, no need or interest, the irrelevancy of the Internet to their lives, high cost and difficulty of use for not subscribing to broadband.
The Benefits of Broadband
But citizens are at a huge disadvantage without the ability to connect, and some policymakers are working to change that. Students with broadband at home have a 6 percent to 8 percent higher graduation rate compared to similar students without broadband, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Broadband access and home computer use also correlate positively to higher academic achievement and better test scores.
In addition, a growing number of jobs require computer skills--50 percent today, and an expected 77 percent in the next decade. Indeed, more than 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies currently require job applicants to apply online, according to the FCC.
"One thing we know is that Internet access can take people beyond their borders," Delegate Meshea Poore (D) of West Virginia says. "Kids sometimes have never gone outside their immediate community and don't know what other options they have, or can't see what's possible for them." She also believes it's important to have community services in place so that when broadband service becomes available, training and computers are available, too.
"Broadband is important to make sure all citizens are able to participate in distance learning, teleworking, telemedicine and other activities that will modernize the way people are educated, work and receive health care," says Delegate Joe T. May (R), a member of Virginia's Broadband Advisory Council and the Joint Commission on Technology and Science (JCOTS). "Broadband guarantees that all citizens will have the chance to participate in the global economy."
Broadband is becoming increasingly important in the health care arena as well. A New York Law School report, "Broadband Adoption: Why It Matters and How It Works," documents general economic effects of broadband as well as the benefits in delivering health care. "Broad band-enabled telemedicine and health information technology services ... extend the range of enhanced medical services to rural parts of the country, streamline the administration of health care, enable a wide array of cost savings, and empower individuals to have more control over medical decisions," the report says.
Federal Support for Broadband
Federal funds helped create task forces to devise the means to increase access to broadband. …

This sure is useful when ya want to use an expansion tray to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
Auto-Off Feature If ya have ever had the batteries in something run out because you forgot to turn it off, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. This digital pocket scale will automatically turn off after a few minutes of inactivity, saving battery power and money.
1 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY! When ya get this digital scale, ya need to go over to the Ohaus website and register it to receive a one year warranty.

Reasonably priced, works well. Order was processed & shipped very fast. I would strongly suggest ordering weights to calibrate scale correctly, as all scales need to be rebalanced from time to time.Reviewed by: Dennis Paulsen from Massachusetts on (7/12/2012)

No, the YA302 does not come with any accessories. We do offer a black weighing cup set for $7.04 if you're interested. Here's a link: http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/five-piece-weighing-cup-set.html

Guest blogged by Jon Ponder, Pensito Review.
Drilling off the coast of California, Florida and elsewhere would increase domestic oil production by 7 percent by 2030, according to the Energy Information Administration. But "because oil prices are determined on the international market…any impact on average wellhead prices is expected to be insignificant." There is no short-term benefit to drilling, says the EIA, because it would take at least five years for oil production to begin. (Source: Center for American Progress.)
On the other hand, in a single step tomorrow --- closing the Enron Loophole --- Congress and George Bush could create an overnight drop in oil prices of between 25 and 50 percent. This is according to testimony before a Senate Committee two weeks ago by Michael Greenberger, the former director of Trading & Markets for the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC), the government board that oversees commodities markets.
"Yes," Greenberger testified, "overnight [closing the Enron Loophole] will bring down the price of crude oil to get at least a 25 percent drop in the cost of oil and a corresponding drop in the cost of gasoline. Some people estimate 50 percent."
Greenberger's testimony was brought to light by an investigation into the Enron Loophole by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's "Countdown" last week. (A transcript of Olbermann's report follows.)
The Enron Loophole is the nickname for a provision written into the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA) of 2000 that was drafted by lobbyists for Enron and inserted in the bill by then Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas) that deregulated an aspect of the market Enron sought to exploit with its "Enron On-Line" trading program, the first Internet-based commodities transaction system. Phil Gramm is now a key economic adviser for the John McCain campaign.
While it was a technical success, Enron On-Line was based on a flawed business model that drained corporate revenues --- even while the company was manipulating the rates consumers paid for electricity in California. Enron On-Line eventually drove the company into bankruptcy, and the cooking of the books to hide its losses led to charges of conspiracy and fraud against Enron executives.
The Republicans' sudden rollout of the campaign to lift the ban on offshore drilling is really meant to shift the blame from Bush and the GOP to the Democrats and their opposition to offshore drilling. To their credit, they have done a masterful job --- and all it has cost them is the credibility of Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who broke tradition in the state and came out in favor of lifting the ban. (It has also cost whatever meager credibility Crist's predecessor, Jeb Bush, had left. Bush opposed lifting the ban when he was in office but came out wholeheartedly in favor of it this weekend.)
Here's the transcript of the video of the report on the June 18 edition of "Countdown":

Children continue to be recruited and used by both armed forces and armed groups in Afghanistan, a country destabilised by years of conflict. The UN Secretary-General's 2015 annual report documented this ongoing abuse, with the Afghan National Police, the Afghan Local Police and three armed groups having consistently been listed as parties which recruit and use children since 2010.
Recruitment and use of children in Afghanistan is triggered by a complex set of reasons including duty to the family, patriotism, honour and economic difficulties. Inadequate age verification procedures, low levels of birth registration and an easy ability to falsify identify documents facilitate recruitment into armed forces.
Children have been both formally and informally recruited into fighting forces. Some children have been used by the Afghan National Police as "tea boys" and guards at check points. Others have been recruited by the Taliban to carry out suicide attacks and plant improvised explosive devices. Children have also been used as spies, in active combat and for sexual purposes. Compounding this abuse, some children suspected of association with armed groups have been unlawfully detained on national security related charges and experienced ill treatment or torture.
In 2011, the Afghan government signed an Action Plan with the UN, committing to protect children and prevent their recruitment and use. Progress has been made, including a planned national birth registration strategy, an awareness raising campaign on the risks of recruitment in vulnerable communities and a presidential decree criminalising the recruitment and use of children into state security forces. However, serious concerns remain.

Tropical storm off coast could send more rain to region
Published: Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 6:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 6:41 p.m.
Temperatures are expected to dip this week, though showers and thunderstorms will continue to pop up around the region in the afternoon as Tropical Storm Cristobal moves north along the Atlantic Coast.
A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms is likely after 7 a.m. Monday and Tuesday in Alachua County and surrounding areas, according to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville.
Rain chances will decrease to around 30 percent in the evening. Temperatures will range from a high of 87 to a low of 71.
There will be a risk of rip currents and storms along the coast as Cristobal moves north well offshore. High pressure will build along the coast and scattered storms could move in off the Atlantic with gusty winds and heavy rainfall, the NWS said.
Wednesday will be mostly sunny with a high near 89 degrees and a slight chance of rain at night as partly cloudy skies move into the area. Lows will dip to 70 degrees.
Thursday and Friday will bring a 20 percent chance of rain throughout the day. Temperature highs will be in the low 90s while lows will stay in the low 70s.
Rain chances will increase on Saturday, with a 40 percent chance expected.

This dry shampoo helps to instantly remove excess oil and buildup without water. For anyone who wants to prolong their blow dry styled hair. Safe for color-treated and processed hair.
I've used many dry shampoo products. BlowProw's is the BEST for absorbing oil and keeping your hair full of volume in between washes. I used to have oily hair, then I "trained" my hair to just need 2 washes/wk. I could not do this without the help of this product!! My hair looks great and is easy to style.
I would never use another product and it lasts a while too.
Shake well. Holding bottle upright 6-8 inches away from hair, divide hair into sections and squeeze middle of bottle until translucent "poufs" of fine powder appear. Massage into scalp and brush or comb hair as usual. Blow tip: For added body, instead of using a brush use your fingers to work powder through hair from root to tips. Style stays fresh an extra day.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.
There are no DOT restrictions on the delivery of this item – you may elect to have this item sent through any of our delivery methods.

Update #31 - We've made it!
This is just a mini-update to thank everyone for their amazing support. As I write, we are at a pledge total of just over £1,287,000 and 21,816 pledges.
Astonishingly we crossed the line on my 49th birthday yesterday, which really made my day. I was really touched, delighted, excited, relieved by the news. It is really really great.
There will be a further update later today. Another £113,000 and we hit the Macintosh stretch goal too.
Huge thanks once again.

Nik Clarke on January 4, 2013
Hi all - the design discussion forum - will that not be made up of everyone over the £300 pledge tier and if so that will be around 350 other pledgers and the frontier team...?
Bromley86 on January 4, 2013
Yep, it's reached the Mac stretch goal of £1.4m now. That means, instead of releasing a Mac version when they can, they've promised to release a Mac version within 3 months of the PC one.
Rod Philp on January 3, 2013
mac !!!!
that would be awesome ... you mean it will be available for macs????
Stephen Pointon on January 3, 2013
Hey i just found my original elite bbc disk version manual in my cubicle! its traveled from the UK to the USA and then up and down California a few times!
Can i ask will there be single player missions that can be undertaken that fit together into a giant story ark like babylon5? and please include the occasional Douglas Adams / comic reference to show the game dosen't take itself too seriously
I am an aerospace engineer and professional 3D modeler, if you need any free help please contact me (that's how badly i want this game)
Ian on January 3, 2013
Congrats! Looking forward to the greatest Elite yet.
WeeJocky on January 3, 2013
Lets keep it going and get those stretch goals!
I upped my pledge to free up a £20 spot for someone sitting on the fence (and to get myself a shiney new Eagle ;) )
Dylan Harris on January 3, 2013
Given we collectively gave Mr. Braben a quite brilliant present on his 49th birthday, might he give us the most brilliant present on his 50th, next year --- Elite Dangerous, released?!
I'm not serious. It's a huge project, with so many things to herd, that promising a strict schedule might tempt Mr. Murphy and his law just a bit too much.
Christof Jork on January 3, 2013
It looks as if the mac version is going to be made. That is incredible, so I don´t have to buy a new computer just for Elite. Congrats and lets see if we crack the 150000 mark. Right on, Commander.
Ivan on January 3, 2013
Gratz I am glad E:D made it :) so is pledge for £80 is that also candidate for all expansions free ? Right ?
kujahn on January 3, 2013
congratulations everyone!
Damien Valentine on January 3, 2013
I just took a screenshot of the pledges at £1,337,955. Seemed fitting that at some point, Elite would be 1337 ;)
LEE GREGAN on January 3, 2013
Great stuff, you did it, i was a little concerned a month ago but wow it just went into warp drive, awesome, i'm so excited...i'm 47 and i'm even considering making an enclosed cockpit to attatch to my 50 inch TV out of cardboard lol
Lee Hammond on January 3, 2013
Congratulations to Davd and the team for making your kickstarter goal.
Now comes the fun bit, you actually need to make Elite 4 now. I personally cannot wait!
Elite is one of the games that put British game development on the map, hopefully you can re-capture the magic that made so many of us Elite fans in the first place.
Trond Meier on January 3, 2013
Can you please make tickets for the launch party a pledge upgrade? ;)
Robert Fike on January 3, 2013
Wow, there will even be a MAC version. The more platforms the better. That means more people playing it. The more money Frontier makes the better this game will be. If things go well maybe there will make a iPad and Android version.
Chris Thomas on January 3, 2013
I can remember seeing an advert for Elite, on the BBC Micro, on our local TV station in Wales. I popped over to Swansea a few days later, to see it in action. it did not disappoint. I've backed the game, and I'm looking forward to see how the next chapter will turn out. Congratulations to David, and the whole team. Its going to be a great project to work on!
Toebs on January 3, 2013
I would also in your shoes be scared, too - you have a MMORPG to make in a year!
s4ingray on January 3, 2013
Keeping the dream alive, one pledge at a time!! ;-)
Juan Rial on January 3, 2013
David, good to see you're committed to the Mac release, but please don't forget about us Linux users who've backed this project based only on the tentative promise of a possible Linux version in the FAQ. I know there's a few of us in the comments section.
Just a gentle reminder that we're still here and we'd like to pepper your hull with laser fire too. ;)
Anyway, congratulations. After all these years, you can finally make your (and our) dream come true!
Luca on January 3, 2013
Happy (special) birthday David! ;)
...and don't forget the planet landing unique feature (yes, I know, will be implemented subsequently)!
s4ingray on January 3, 2013
I think the message is clear, over 22,000 people want to see this game get made!! ;-)
Blood Dragon on January 3, 2013
Happy Birthday, David, and congrats, FD, on a successful Kickstarter!
Cameron Goater on January 3, 2013
Happy Birthday for yesterday, congratulations to you and the team on surpassing the target amount! Can't believe it's been 28 years since I played the original Elite on my Acorn! what a game...
Andrew Milloy on January 3, 2013
Really hoping the Mac stretch target is reached, glad to see others are keen for that too. Excited about this coming to fruition - perfect timing after all these years!
seany on January 3, 2013
Congrats! Now the fun journey can really begin!
Boback Shahsafdari on January 3, 2013
Congrats again, and I am so pleased after 20years, I get to play Elite again.
Once we reach the Mac goal (notice the optimism), will you be testing the alph/beta versions at the same time as the Windows version?
Chris on January 3, 2013
Congrats and happy birthday! Now get to work :P
Wilson Bilkovich on January 3, 2013
I hope we make the Mac stretch goal
Davor Granic on January 3, 2013
Anyone figured out whats the first ship in this concept pic?
Sebastian Herzog-Geddes on January 3, 2013
So pleased that this is happening. Hours was spent on my mate's BBC, followed by my own copy for the C64. Upgraded my pledge to celebrate today - and to contribute to reaching the Mac version stretch goal!
@Creator: looking forward to a well-focussed release that's not trying to go in too many directions at once, then after that - roll on the extensions :-)
Don't know how frequently you plan to keep us all posted on the development, I personally would be happy with monthly updates - to ensure plenty of focus on the work itself ;-))
Stephen Pointon on January 3, 2013
Congratulations. This brings back so many memories of when i was playing on a BBC B. Long live the elite!!! Also are we going to see a return of the Thargons?
Andrew Clark on January 3, 2013
I still have my original BBC model B box with the tape (later i got the disk version) I loved this game and the sequels. I am so looking forward to this one,
Harry Torque on January 3, 2013
@Barry Paypal will be included to reach stretch goals, confirmed by Michael below.
Harry Torque on January 3, 2013
@Alexander, it says "add £15 to ship outside the UK" in the column on the right. I believe France counts :P So add 15 GBP to whatever tier with physical goods you have. If you're at the 90 GBP tier, you're good to go with a 110 GPB pledge.
Barry Thompson on January 3, 2013
Will the stretch goal include the payments via PayPal on the Frontier site? If so what is the current total?
Emanuele Barone on January 3, 2013
Congratulations, people at Frontier! Can't wait for the game. I noticed on page 1 of the comments somebody asking about potential need to add money to the pledge for delivery fees outside the UK, but didn't see a reply to that. I'd like to add to that question since I too live outside the UK and would like to ensure that I can receive the physical box of the game.
alexander green on January 3, 2013
Development Team,
First of all, congratulations,, the easy part is done,, now you just have to live up to the expectations of at least 22324 people,, plus DB ( happy birthday).
As I live in France, and would wish for delivery of my goodies at home, would I have to add extra to my pledge in order to cover it ? I've pledged 110£, but if it needs to be more, please let me know
Danny B Mattissen on January 3, 2013
Congratulations, and all the best. Cheers :)
Alexander Chard on January 3, 2013
It was worth it to listen to you talk about making video games. You are great to listen to, it sounds like you really know what you are talking about.
Charles Kerr on January 3, 2013
Congratulations, this was my all time favourite C64 game. Only 3 little boys kept me from playing it 24*7 :))) I was always sure you would surpass your target.
I understand you wanting to support the Mac platform, but I really hope you support Rasberry Pi in particular and Linux in general. In some form. At some stage. Perhaps. Maybe. Please?
Tomma on January 3, 2013
Can we complete our pledge via paypal after the end of the kickstarter ?
Chris Handley on January 3, 2013
@Frontier Developments
If you don't feel that you can speculate on any further expansions, then can you at least say whether you hope to use some of The Outsider's procedural story technology?
(I'm really hoping, even if not in the first release, that Elite: Dangerous will eventually have intriguing little stories created by different (AI) factions vying for the upper hand, in which every player will have a chance to play a small but unique role, and in which they can choose who to side with, or even play the different factions of each other to their personal benefit.)
Tom Minton on January 3, 2013
Happy Birthday!
ray moorhead on January 3, 2013
@Michael Will the starting out trading be similar to the frontier experience ie , Sol - Barnards Star- Van Maan Star(with permit) just a thought as it might be a nice transition for some original players :)
Martin Hague on January 3, 2013
if gets over 2m will you make Elite for PS3????? please David please make elite for PS3
Nigel Mirza on January 3, 2013
Congratulations everybody and best of luck to Frontier Developments
Martin Hague on January 3, 2013
yes can we have Elite stretch for PS3 please, get petition together for Elite: D on PS3
Matthew Guy on January 3, 2013
Now please get busy and build the game!!!! :)
I have also dreamed about and waited for this since 1984. :D
Ken Varley on January 3, 2013
Really DB, your 49. I guess next years pressie from your wife will be, erm let me guess "Just For Men" :P

Arrive in Bali and board the SeaDream II for your adventure! Settle in to you cabin and familiarize yourself with the ship and her crew as you set sail.
Sail through the narrow strait which separates tiny Satonde Island from Sumbawa's northern shore. The volcanic island is uninhabited and a trail leads from the natural pumice-lined beach to the interior and volanoe caldera. Inside the partially collapsed volcanic crater, the island's salt lake, fed by an underground channel, is well known among a small group of devoted fans. Mysterious stone monuments appear to mark ancient burial sites.
Best known for its indigenous Komodo Dragons, Komodo Island is a fascinating port of call. The giant monitor lizards can grow to more than 9 ft long and weigh up to 300 lbs. Join a park ranger to encounter and meet the Komodo Dragons, which are incredible in size and legend.
Visit the mini-kingdoms of Lombok, each ruled by its own Sasak prince. The island was subject to frequent foreign invasion and Bali, the nearest neighbor, was a major threat. Now known as 'island of a thousand mosques,' Lombok was transformed when Islam reached the Indonesian archipelago in the 16th century. Visit an authentic Sasak community or bicycle your way to Mapak village with SeaDream Land Adventures.
Spend a relaxing day at sea as you sail for Semarang.
Disembark the ship to explore Tanjung Emas, central Java's heartbeat. The city focuses mainly on commerce rather than tourism, but visitors are welcomed and roads leading from the port are well maintained. 'Old Semarang,' still visible in the city's Dutch colonial warehouses and homes, lures travelers with an elegance which reflects the port's place as an 18th-century jewel.
A string of small islands stretches just outside the Bay of Jakarta and offers accessible refuge to those who dwell in the huge city. Pulau Seribu ('the Thousand Islands') actually only numbers around 100 islands, but the romantic nickname persists. Most of the tiny specks feature lovely beaches which are blanketed with sand that has been described as 'golden talcum powder.'
Admire the scenery as you make your way to Singapore.
Arrive in Singapore and disembark. Before transferring to the airport, explore the city-state's impressive modernity and traditional architecture.

Here are a couple of pics and the link to our web site about the trip. My 18 year old completed the entire ride, and my 11 year old rode 3 of the days. Although he could have done much more.

Another no balls move by Harbaugh.
Waste a roster spot to carry an extra kicker? For what? To light a fire under Akers? If Akers is hurt (which I think is the problem)...put him on IR and sign a new guy. If Akers has just lost it, cut him and sign the new guy.
Or just go to Akers and tell him..."I have faith you'll get it together".

3. Re: R12 Multi node installationjpiwowar Sep 22, 2008 9:41 PM (in response to Srini Chavali-Oracle)Kirin,
Srini is correct. You should start with the database node configuration first. Run rapidwiz on the database node first, then run rapidwiz on the second node (apps tier). Reference section 2-1 of [Oracle Applications Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40089_10/current/acrobat/120oaig.pdf|R12 Install Guide]:
You need to carry out the relevant steps on each node that(I think I'm okay quoting that here, since this is an OTN-hosted document, not a Metalink document).

and two Applications nodes. Where applicable, operations should be
carried out on the database node first.

Germany up to seventy years ago was not in existence as i nation but was a federation of small pri^cipali-tiep Prussia, the nucleus of the German empire, was always quarrelsome, boastful of her military supremacy, crafty, cruel, and of doubtful diplomatic integrity. The South German principalities, although more or less Prussian in blood, were yet independent, and con stantly fighting with each other, jealous and striving for power over the othei. The famous federation of German states, which was believed at first by the people to be a true democratic federation, was fathered by Bismarck, the Iron chancellor.

NEW FACTOR IN EDUCATION Article by ft. A. Welch, Iowa Superintendent Junior Red cross. Now and then there appears a new something for schools In content or method, which Is destined In time to revolutionize or re-shape the work therein. Such was the introductloii of the Kindergarten; such' was the advent of the vocational subjects; such was the teaching of music In the schools, and such many educators believe is the destiny of the Junior Red Cross, now so rapidly coming Into the elementary and secondary schools. The Junior Red Cross, as a national organization under the United States War Department, was formed slightly more than a year ago. � It was established as an auxiliary of the National American Red Cross. The purpose was primarily to create among the pupils in our public, private and parochial schools some of the spirit of service and sympathy emanating from the American Red Cross. This has already been done beyond all expectations. The Juniors have assisted in knitting, sewing, cooking, canning, gardening, purchasing thrift stamps, and In conservation. Pupils have been anxious, whenever enrolled as Junior Red Cross workers, to assist in any way possible. January 1st, 1918, there were in the United States barely one million pupils enrolled in Junior societies, but by July first, there were more than eight mllion pupils so enrolled. The interest in the organization Is growing rapidly. Ipwa is among the lead; Ing states in number of Junior auxiliaries, the record July 1st being 40.6 per cent of all her schools enrolled. All but nine counties of the state had reported organizations by August 15, Beveral counties having all schools organized. Teachers and others connected In any way with the schools see great educational advantage in having the schools affiliated with this strong national organization. Civics teaching and patriotic instruction are much more easily taught to the pupils through the activities of Junior Auxiliaries and the spirit engendered In the work. All � pupils .become enthusiastic In assisting Unole Sam in any way suggested. \ In every tfouttty there Is a chapter soho6l cbininfttee, appointed by the local American Red Cross, to enroll schools as auxiliaries. A campaign is being put on by this committee to reach all the schools during tho drive, Schools may assist the committee by making known their desire to enroll to this committee, or to the County Superintendent.

 At IBM Impact 2014, many IBM clients shared their experiences with the adoption of Smarter Process solutions that include Business Process Management (BPM) and Operational Decision Management (ODM) technologies. Almost all of the speakers used the term journey to describe the process of planning and introducing the new technology.

 This analogy of a journey applies well. And as with other journeys you need to be well prepared. Unless you want to go on a pleasure trip where time and money do not count, you definitely need to know where you want to go. You need to involve your companions in planning activities so that everyone is excited. And it is certainly of value to learn about the foreign culture and talk to people who have done the same journey before.

 Let me summarize the most common advice that IBM clients shared. You can apply these considerations to any enterprise-wide technology adoption.

 1. Know where you want to go.
 Start by determining where you want to go. The enterprise-wide adoption of Smarter Process solutions can be seen as a chance to systematically rethink the way your enterprise works today. Clearly state your vision of what your business objectives are. Define which initiatives will address these goals and how technology will support these initiatives to ensure continuous improvement of your current organizational operation.

 2. Inspire your team to collaborate.
 Numerous examples of successful projects in the past have proven the benefits that may derive from the adoption of Smarter Process solutions. Examples include process automation, improved operational efficiency and entering new markets by creating new services and products, to name just a few. These compelling references may lead lines of your business to rush into a project and follow their own agenda, believing they will get quick results. This leads to isolated initiatives with different purposes and can
 prevent team members from collaborating well. In order to avoid redundancies and get the most benefits, motivate your team to stay focused on achieving common business goals.

 3. Chose a partner who has successfully done this journey before.
 The adoption of Smarter Process technologies in general involves significant efforts to plan, design the solution and manage the technology deployment cycles. In order to avoid getting stuck in your first-time project, select a trusted implementation partner with specialized skills, methodologies and tool knowledge. Ensure a constant knowledge transfer during implementation phases. Avoid outsourcing efforts with inadequate involvement of your project members, as this will hamper maintenance activities once the project is finished and responsibilities move back to your team.

 4. Plan in stages, and wisely select your first leg.
 The adoption of Smarter Process is not a single project but rather a journey of continuous improvement. In order to pick the right first project, here is a checklist to look at:

 Make sure the project has an adequate value for the business and is aligned with the objectives you defined for your organization.

 Do not make it too complex, and do not take the most business-critical process, least of all the one that you believe will disrupt your entire industry.

 Select a project that is winnable but not too easy.

 Consider choosing a project that will be related to more than one line of business. This will increase communication efforts, but it has a potential to bring teams together, make them aware of the common goals and foster collaboration.

 5. Do not underestimate the cultural change.
 You probably know the feeling of insecurity, confusion and anxiety when traveling to a foreign country with unfamiliar behaviors and customs. People in an organization feel the same way when they have to change their methods of operation and get accustomed to a new set of tools. The adoption of Smarter Process will definitely force people to reorganize their previous working style. Proper communication, motivation and skill transfer will help your team to adapt to the new culture.

This blog post was contributed by Amy Wohl. Amy Wohl has been commenting on, writing about, and consulting to the information technology community for more than 35 years. She is an industry analyst and her current foci are cloud computing and the effects of technology on society. She also has expertise in helping to create new markets for new technologies. Read more blogs by Amy on Amy Wohl's Opinions and follow her on twitter @AmyWohl.

The delivery of IT services is changing. IT applications are no longer built individually, but rather made up of a set of composite services arranged and rearranged to provide specific solutions. This allows IT to react more quickly to changes in the business and create and deliver successful new solutions faster.

But it makes for substantial changes:
 • New styles in application design and development, knitting together existing groups of pre-tested services plus perhaps some additional code, rather than writing from scratch
 • Keeping track of services from many sources:
 • The organization's own IP
 • IP purchased, perhaps with perpetual use licenses, from other sources
 • IP provided by partners
 • New styles of deployment:
 • Eventually, a decision to deploy the templates for solutions and provide only the services not previously downloaded (still rare today)
 • The need to deploy to many participants on many platforms – especially laptops, smartphones, and tablets
 • Migration to the cloud:
 • A new underlying hardware infrastructure, much more flexible, leads to the need for a different style of design
 • Many styles of using all the resources: legacy applications, rewritten legacy applications, cloud applications, cloud services – and how they are combined (which will change as interoperability standards change)

All of this means that IT may need different skill sets now and tomorrow than they have built up in the past. For example, IT will need much more SOA expertise to work with legacy applications in a cloud environment and build new services and applications. IT will also need much more expertise in working with the cloud, deploying clouds, deploying services and solutions on clouds, and managing all of this in an evolving cloud environment.

It's hard to see that you will need something different when you're sitting in a current environment trying to make things work. Without some attention to the difference between cloud environments and current on-site environments, changes will occur in a less than optimal way.

Two things are happening that will help:

 • Standards organizations are working on making interoperability between clouds easier and more certain. We all need that.
 • IBM had recently announced a new Hybrid Cloud computing solution that permits private clouds to expand, when needed, into public clouds, taking advantage of their additional capacity and elasticity to keep performance levels up. This will make the job of working in multiple cloud environments more secure, more automated, and much easier.

Customers are already creating advanced solutions to IT problems with cloud technology, so it's very clear the cloud is already working. Watch YouTube videos about IBM customer experiences and leave comments about the stories that resonate with you.
