In Relive, leading historians of the media arts grapple with this dilemma: how can we speak of "new media" and at the same time write the histories of these arts? These scholars and practitioners redefine the nature of the field, focusing on the materials of history—the materials through which the past is mediated. Drawing on the tools of media archaeology and the history and philosophy of media, they propose a new materialist media art history.
Thanks to advances in molecular science and microscopy, we can visualize matter on a nanoscale, and structures not visible to the naked eye can be visualized and characterized. The fact that technology allows us to transcend the limits of natural perception and see what was previously unseeable creates a new dimension of aesthetic experience and practice: molecular aesthetics. This book, drawing on an exhibit and symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, documents aesthetic developments in what Félix Guattari called the "molecular revolution."
We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's information explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visual.
Today almost every aspect of life for which data exists can be rendered as a network. Financial data, social networks, biological ecologies: all are visualized in links and nodes, lines connecting dots. A network visualization of a corporate infrastructure could look remarkably similar to that of a terrorist organization. In An Aesthesia of Networks, Anna Munster argues that this uniformity has flattened our experience of networks as active and relational processes and assemblages.
Digital technologies offer the possibility of capturing, storing, and manipulating movement, abstracting it from the body and transforming it into numerical information. In Moving without a Body, Stamatia Portanova considers what really happens when the physicality of movement is translated into a numerical code by a technological system.
In this groundbreaking study, first published in 1983 and unavailable for over a decade, Linda Dalrymple Henderson demonstrates that two concepts of space beyond immediate perception—the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and, most important, a higher, fourth dimension of space—were central to the development of modern art. The possibility of a spatial fourth dimension suggested that our world might be merely a shadow or section of a higher dimensional existence.
This book grew out of Yvonne Spielmann's 2005–2006 and 2009 visits to Japan, where she explored the technological and aesthetic origins of Japanese new-media art--which was known for pioneering interactive and virtual media applications in the 1990s. Spielmann discovered an essential hybridity in Japan's media culture: an internal hybridity, a mixture of digital-analog connections together with a non-Western development of modernity separate from but not immune to Western media aesthetics; and external hybridity, produced by the international, transcultural travel of aesthetic concepts.
Ubiquitous computing and our cultural life promise to become completely interwoven: technical currents feed into our screen culture of digital television, video, home computers, movies, and high-resolution advertising displays. Technology has become at once larger and smaller, mobile and ambient. In Throughout, leading writers on new media—including Jay David Bolter, Mark Hansen, N. Katherine Hayles, and Lev Manovich—take on the crucial challenges that ubiquitous and pervasive computing pose for cultural theory and criticism.
With Relationscapes, Erin Manning offers a new philosophy of movement challenging the idea that movement is simple displacement in space, knowable only in terms of the actual. Exploring the relation between sensation and thought through the prisms of dance, cinema, art, and new media, Manning argues for the intensity of movement. From this idea of intensity—the incipiency at the heart of movement—Manning develops the concept of preacceleration, which makes palpable how movement creates relational intervals out of which displacements take form.
Humans have bred plants and animals with an eye to aesthetics for centuries: flowers are selected for colorful blossoms or luxuriant foliage; racehorses are prized for the elegance of their frames. Hybridized plants were first exhibited as fine art in 1936, when the Museum of Modern Art in New York showed Edward Steichen's hybrid delphiniums. Since then, bio art has become a genre; artists work with a variety of living things, including plants, animals, bacteria, slime molds, and fungi.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Joe Hansen, International President of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), today released the following statement in response to the decision by a grand jury not to indict the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown.
"Today, first and foremost, we mourn for our sister Lesley McSpadden, a member of UFCW Local 88, who got neither justice nor peace for the death of her son. The simple truth is that there are too many Michael Brown's in America needlessly having their lives cut short and we in the labor movement have a responsibility to take action. This tragic case must spark a renewed discussion about race, class, and inequality. We can no longer afford to sweep these important issues under the rug because they might make some people uncomfortable. We must be a force for good jobs, safe streets, and justice under the law. We need to take a hard look at all of our social and political institutions and ask whether they are really serving the common good. The grand jury decision was the end of a process, but it also must be the beginning of a conversation. We owe that to the Brown family, the community of Ferguson, and our entire nation."
The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) represents more than 1.3 million workers, primarily in the retail and meatpacking, food processing and poultry industries. The UFCW protects the rights of workers and strengthens America's middle class by fighting for health care reform, living wages, retirement security, safe working conditions and the right to unionize so that working men and women and their families can realize the American Dream.

Like the Best Pictures categories at the Golden Globes, the pool of men vying for an acting prize is defined into two groups: dramatic performances and dramatic performances plus laughs. There may not be any certifiably hilarious performances, but they're all stellar in their own right without a clear frontrunner in either category.
Before the Golden Globes this Sunday, we've broken down the two Best Actor categories to help you get a better picture of who might walk away a winner.
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy
Who Will Win: Christian Bale for "American Hustle"
There really is no such thing as a bad Christian Bale performance, and in David O. Russell's game of cons, the former Batman actually seems like he's having fun. As Irving Rosenfeld, Bale gives the kind of performance we would have expected from De Niro in the late '70s or early '80s. It's over the top, but always grounded in reality. And that's to speak nothing of the hair!
Who Should Win: Joaquin Phoenix for "Her"
Among the great performances of the category, Phoenix's may have been the hardest to pull off, given the challenges that come with portraying a believable relationship between a man and his operating system. The audience's investment in Phoenix as Theodore Twombly is one of the things that makes "Her" work at all. (It's just a shame that the HFPA ruled Scarlett Johansson ineligible.) The high-concept romance would have come off as laughably silly if the leads didn't play it so straight and earnestly.
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama
Who Will Win: Chiwetel Ejiofor for "12 Years a Slave"
With a category full of great performances, this will be one of the most closely watched races of the night, but we have to give the edge of Ejiofor, who has held onto a strong lead throughout award season, despite tough competition from both Robert Redford and Matthew McConaughey. "12 Years a Slave" is undoubtedly a great and important film, and one that wouldn't have been either without a strong lead performance to match the material.
Who Should Win: Chiwetel Ejiofor for "12 Years a Slave"
Recognition for Ejiofor has been a long time coming, and last year, he ended up in the perfect movie to show off just how good he is.
The Golden Globes air Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET. Keep an eye on MTV News for everything you need to know before, during and after the show.

President Barack Obama is issuing a directive he says will make it easier for hospital patients, particularly gays and lesbians, to receive visitors and choose who will make medical decisions on their behalf.
Obama is asking the Health and Human Services secretary to begin the process of putting in place federal rules to ensure that hospitals respect the rights of patients to designate visitors. The order covers hospitals receiving Medicare or Medicaid.
Under Obama's directive, those designated, including people with powers of attorney and health care proxies, are to have visitation privileges equal to immediate family members.
Obama says gays and lesbians and other Americans have been barred from the bedsides of their partners or loved ones.

Partly inspired by the fact that drop bars are forboden for me and personal experience/observations. I have my flat bar set up with some rather large bar ends, and I spend a lot of time with my hands on them. Plenty of time that I thought to myself it sure would be nice to at least have brake control from that position.
While at the LBS today, I noticed how comfortable the hoods on road bikes felt and how much real estate was available for mounting things on the bars, since the controls were on the sides of the bars.
Then I had an idea, but I don't have the resources to see if my idea is actually possible: Take some bullhorn handlebars, invert them where they are pointed down, and mount brifters to them. Wouldn't it be as if someone were to just cut the drops (hooks) off of regular drop bars?

Lambert lovers mourn, but does 'Idol' loss matter?
NEW YORK (AP) – Adam Lambert fans, take heart: At least your guy doesn't have to sing the hokey "No Boundaries," this year's much mocked "American Idol" ballad, ever, ever again.
That dubious honor will go to winner Kris Allen.
But there are other reasons Lambert lovers can dry their tears. Given the glam-rocker's unique persona, his strong fan base and the massive exposure he's gotten, he may be as likely as any "American Idol" winner to achieve that elusive stardom the show tries so hard to achieve.
Not to take anything from Allen, the fresh-faced, soulful Arkansas crooner who surprised many – and himself, to judge by his stunned expression – by taking the crown. His victory showed he has both the musical chops and the broad-based appeal to be a star, too.
But not simply because he won. Industry insiders say that once that "Idol" bubble breaks at the end of the season, all bets are off.
"It doesn't really matter if you win," said Diane Warren, the Grammy-winning songwriter who's written for Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Mary J. Blige, not to mention "Idol" alums like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson. "It's all about what you do after the show."
For Lambert, who cut his teeth in musical theater and drew outsized attention from the start with commanding vocals, a signature banshee wail, flamboyant outfits and yes, the eyeliner and black nail polish, the future is particularly bright, Warren said.
"He's just a hands-down star," said Warren. "He's different. He shook things up."
And it may even help that he came in second, she said, because he'll have more control over his career: "There's not as much of a committee plotting your every move."
It's well known that an "Idol" victory does not a star make. Kelly Clarkson, the first-season winner, became a pop radio staple; Ruben Studdard, the next year, did not. Fourth-season winner Carrie Underwood is arguably the reigning high priestess of country music; the next season's winner, Taylor Hicks, is set to play Teen Angel in the Broadway production of "Grease."
As for the also-rans, Clay Aiken, who lost to Studdard, became a much bigger star. Chris Daughtry, who came in fourth the year Hicks won, sold more than 1 million copies of his self-titled album after five weeks, the fastest-selling debut rock album in history. And just ask Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson, who came in seventh in season 3, if there's life after an "Idol" loss.
For now, all that may be cold comfort to Lambert fans, many of whom woke up Thursday morning feeling bereft.
"I know Adam will have a great career, but I'm upset on principle," said Janet Metz, a stage actress and singer. "Talent did not win out."
Her husband, Michael Unger, is also a fan. "Besides his charisma, Adam's vocal range is amazing," said Unger, who directs both theater and opera. "He hits those notes without straining his voice. He sang the high notes in that Queen song last night with an ease that even Freddie Mercury would have been proud of."
In Ottawa, Canada, Lambert fan Alison Edgar was doubly upset – first, that Lambert lost, and second, that she hadn't been able to help. As a Canadian, she couldn't vote.
"It's very frustrating to have to rely on others," said Edgar, 34. She'd spent the evening commiserating online with fellow Lambert fans. "There are a lot of sad people out there," she sighed.
And why did she think Lambert lost? "I have a feeling Adam is a bit too radical for some Americans," she said. She also echoed a common theory: that fans of Danny Gokey, the bespectacled, understated church music director who came in third, had thrown their weight behind Allen.

which firmware have you got? the exploit is working on the slims too, but, you must have 3.15 or lower.
which firmware have you got? the exploit is working on the slims too, but, you must have 3.15 or lower.
How can it work on the slims when they don't have the option for OtherOS?
Correct.. PS3 Slim doesn't has OTHEROS for now, but MAYBE in the future!
But the awesome thing in KeyFind PuP is that we can actually turn on OtherOS on Slim and FAT ps3 on 3.30. For example we got new firmware like 3.40, so if we get key from 3.40 we can make CFW and for example turn on OTHEROS on Slim and FAT ps3 that updated to 3.21/3.30 where otherOS is disabled!
That's one thing that will make me happy. My 60GB YLOD 4 times this year so $ony exchanged it for a slim and now I miss the 60GB. If the slim gets OtherOS it will lessen the pain of losing the 60gb a little. The next would be PS2 BC. That would make me like the slim.
Is there a good chance a CFW with OtherOS will be available for the slims soon? Don't forget you can reinstall the current firmware in the recovery menu, so if a 330CFW is made we can all install it.
Haha, this is getting exciting. I've got a slim, so all I can really do is sit back and watch right now but hopefully we'll be able to get cfw soon!
Aaah man - this is all great guys, but i'm really missing online play atm... I cant wait anymore Do you guys think my 10Gb linux partition will be lost completely, or will i be able to get it back if a cfw is ever developed?
This is just an assumption at the moment. Depending on the process needed to actually INSTALL the CFW (let's say the exploit trigger or using some other trick with bug in the game etc.) it might me NOT as simple as "reinstall the same" fw sadly ...
yea remember George's CFW needed OtherOS so you can install it, so i'm guessing George hasn't found a way to run it through the GameOS just yet.
if TeamHades gets a CFW up and running it'll most likely be run through OtherOS first and then they will try to work on getting it running through the GameOS.
Yeah, but according to one of his posts, he can access a SPU to sign his code. I wonder why he hasn't done it. Maybe it didn't work like he thought.
As always I must ask... what does this mean? Does this mean TeamHades has accomplished something new since their last news piece; and is this close to running custom firmware that EgoHot does not want to release?

Originally published in 1943, this book was written using a variety of evidence from archaeology and literature concerning Norse funeral customs to reconstruct their conception of future life, the soul of man, the cult of the dead, and the journey to the land of the dead. The text is notable as one of the first comprehensive treatments of these areas, showing how knowledge could be forwarded by correlation of the evidence from various academic fields. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Norse history, archaeology and literature.

Literature as Lyrical Politics
Dimrock, Peter, The Review of Contemporary Fiction
I think we should never write out anything which we do not intend to commit to memory.
- Quintilian
"We are in one of those moments," a publishing colleague said to me recently, "when nobody knows what is happening." We were talking, as everybody in publishing now must in any conversation lasting more than a few minutes, of the impact of the new media on books and on consciousness. His words came as a relief because they voiced an image that confirmed my uneasy sense that all our talk on this subject had a strangely desperate quality - as if we knew something momentous was happening, but had lost the ability to name what it was we really wanted to talk about, much less decide what we wanted to do.
The comment implied that the technologies mediating our discourse were outstripping our discourse's ability to define those changes or formulate satisfactorily the terms with which to consider and debate their implications. In fact, his comment raises the not unreasonable suggestion that the discourses through which the "selves" and the "we" of our social and cultural interchanges are constituted have come under such intense and transformative pressures in recent years that, temporarily at least, a knowable context for discourse has become impossible.
In this destabilized and destabilizing atmosphere of publishing, I want to make the following straightforward argument: we need to reconnect publishing to the word public that is buried within it and to the "live," speaking (or singing) human voice through which any "public" or "people" is constituted according to our literary tradition's founding rhetorical assertion and assumption. That is, I want us to go back and take rhetoric as an organizing system of order, coherence, and community very seriously indeed. (I have come to this formulation and offer this suggestion, for whatever it is worth, as a result of having worked with Barry Sanders as his editor for A Is for Ox: Violence, Electronic Media, and the Silencing of the Written Word, published in 1994.)
Such an argument is necessary, first, I think, because it offers a method for specifying the social and cognitive terms in which unlimited access to unlimited amounts of information promised by the new technologies is not equivalent to rhetorical competence. Secondly, this argument is necessary because it offers a way to specify what distinguishes markets for information and entertainment - no matter how responsive, sophisticated, and efficient - from interpretive or "textual" communities. Thirdly, the prospective of the embodied speaking voice, as well as "the public" implied by the circulation of the printed word, is necessary because it can provide a way of specifying how writing and reading matter in the context of the changed human sensorium the new technologies imply and are bringing into being. Finally, such an argument offers a way of framing a sense of literature as a "lyrical politics" in which our discussions can be grounded simultaneously in the individual "citizen-self" as an embodied, spontaneous speaker and the contemporary commerce of symbolic interchange.
I feel some entitlement to speak on these matters because as an acquiring editor it is my business to imagine the contemporary transaction between readers and writers. And because I am an interested party. I am judged, after all, on my successes and failures as a broker of words, and I do have some say in how words are bound, commodified, marketed, and sold. My job no doubt accounts for my being struck increasingly by the thought that publishing now finds itself accountable to two contradictory systems of agency: the rhetorical - that is, that tradition and organization of linguistic resources directed toward action through the arts of verbal persuasion - and the cybernetic - that is, that recent ability through "the application of statistical mechanics to communication engineering" "to replace" "human control functions" through "mechanical and electronic systems" and thereby to organize, determine, and administer the commerce of symbolic interchange according to an instrumental logic not founded by language or rhetoric. …

Hello everyone.
I would like to create a static page displaying all subcategories (+100) from a specific category.
These subcategories would be displayed as links to the subcat page.
I must add that I am not very comfortable with code and have tried such plugins as Dagon sitemap, which doesn't really do it or look good.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks in advance.

Klippel Feil syndrome
- Cervical vertebral fusion
Your QuestionI am severely affected with Klippel Feil syndrome and my symptoms are worsening with time. Are there any research studies that I could participate in? I am also concerned about the risk to my future offspring. How can I learn more about this risk?
Our Answer
We have identified the following information that we hope you find helpful. If you still have questions, please contact us.
Questions on this page
- How might Klippel-Feil syndrome be treated?
- What is Klippel Feil Syndrome?
- What are the signs and symptoms of Klippel Feil syndrome?
- Is Klippel Feil syndrome inherited?
- Are there any research studies about Klippel Feil syndrome?
- Are there any clinical trials enrolling patients with Klippel Feil syndrome?
- Who can I talk to about my chance of passing Klippel Feil syndrome on to future children?
How might Klippel-Feil syndrome be treated?
There are various conservative therapies available, including the use of cervical collars, braces, traction, physical therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and various pain medications.[2][3] However, for many people with KFS, symptoms are progressive due to degenerative changes that occur in the spine.[1]
Surgery may be indicated for a variety of reasons, including persistent pain; neurologic deficits; cervical or craniocervical instability; constriction of the spinal cord; or to correct severe scoliosis.[2] Some people with KFS may need surgery to repair other skeletal abnormalities, or those related to the heart, kidneys, ears, eyes, or other parts of the body.[3]
Those at an increased risk for neurological complications should be regularly monitored by their health care providers and may be advised to avoid activities that could lead to trauma or injury to cervical vertebrae.[3]
What is Klippel Feil Syndrome?
What are the signs and symptoms of Klippel Feil syndrome?
KFS has been reported in people with a very wide variety of other conditions and abnormalities, including:[2][4][6][7][8][9][1][3]
- scoliosis (curvature of the spine)
- cervical dystonia (painful, involuntary tensing of the neck muscles)
- genitourinary abnormalities (those of the reproductive organs and/or urinary system, including the kidneys)
- Sprengel deformity
- cardiac (heart) defects such as ventricular septal defect
- pulmonary abnormalities (relating to the lungs) and respiratory problems
- hearing deficits
- facial asymmetry, or other abnormalities of the head and face (such as cleft palate or hemifacial microsomia)
- torticollis
- central nervous system abnormalities (including Chiari malformation, spina bifida, or syringomyelia), and/or neurological symptoms
- other skeletal abnormalities (including those of the ribs, limbs and/or fingers)
- situs inversus
- short stature
- synkinesia (where movement in one hand involuntarily mimics the deliberate movement of the other hand)
- Wildervank syndrome
- Duane syndrome or other eye (ocular) abnormalities
Is Klippel Feil syndrome inherited?
When KFS is caused by changes (mutations) in the GDF6 or GDF3 genes, it is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.[4] This means that having a mutation in only one copy of the responsible gene is enough to cause features of the condition. When a person with an autosomal dominant condition has children, each child has a 50% (1 in 2) chance to inherit the mutated copy of the gene.
When KFS is caused by mutations in the MEOX1 gene, it is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[4] This means that a person must have mutations in both copies of the responsible gene to be affected. The parents of a person with an autosomal recessive condition usually each carry one mutated copy of the gene and are referred to as carriers. Carriers are typically unaffected. When two carriers of the same autosomal recessive condition have children, each child has a 25% (1 in 4) risk to be affected, a 50% (1 in 2) chance to be an unaffected carrier like each parent, and a 25% risk to be unaffected and not be a carrier.
When KFS occurs as a feature of another condition, the inheritance pattern follows that of the other condition.[4]
Are there any research studies about Klippel Feil syndrome?

Are there any clinical trials enrolling patients with Klippel Feil syndrome?
The National Institutes of Health, through the National Library of Medicine, developed ClinicalTrials.gov to provide patients, family members, and members of the public with current information on clinical research studies. Although no studies involving Klippel-Feil syndrome are listed at this time, you can check this site often for updates.
You can also contact the Patient Recruitment and Public Liaison (PRPL) Office at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We recommend calling 1-800-411-1222 to speak with a specialist, who can help you determine if you are eligible for any clinical trials.

If you are interested in enrolling in a clinical trial, you can find helpful general information on clinical trials at the ClinicalTrials.gov Web page. Resources on many charitable or special-fare flights to research and treatment sites and low-cost hospitality accommodations for outpatients and family members, as well as ambulance services, are listed on the Web site of the Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR), part of the National Institutes of Health.
Who can I talk to about my chance of passing Klippel Feil syndrome on to future children?
You may wish to discuss your concerns with a genetics professional. Genetics clinics are a source of information for individuals and families regarding genetic conditions, treatment, inheritance, and genetic risks to other family members. More information about genetic consultations is available from Genetics Home Reference at http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/consult. To find a genetics clinic, we recommend that you contact your primary healthcare provider for a referral.
The following online resources can help you find a genetics professional in your community:
- GeneTests has a searchable directory of US and international genetics and prenatal diagnosis clinics.
- The National Society of Genetic Counselors provides a searchable directory of US and international genetic counseling services.
- The American College of Medical Genetics has a searchable database of US genetics clinics.
- The University of Kansas Medical Center provides a list of US and international genetic centers, clinics, and departments.
- The American Society of Human Genetics maintains a database of its members, which includes individuals who live outside of the United States. Visit the link to obtain a list of the geneticists in your country, some of whom may be researchers that do not provide medical care.

Mrs. Samon R. is 58 years old. She is a widow with two children, one of whom is employed in a garment factory while the other one is enrolled in school. Previously, Mrs. Samon R. obtained a loan from Amret Co.,LTD to buy cows for breeding. Last year, she got gangrene and she did not go to hospital. She called a doctor to come to cure her at home and she spent $50, which is approximately the equivalent of one month's food consumption for a family in Cambodia. Because of this unforeseen expense, Mrs. Samon R. does not have enough money to build her house now.
This is a group loan. The loan funds will be distributed among the group members, each of whom will invest in her own business. The members mutually guarantee one another's loans. If one member does not repay, the other members are responsible.
Additional Information
About AMKAngkor Microfinance Kampuchea (AMK) is a leading microfinance institution in Cambodia with a wide reach of operations. AMK works with over 6,000 villages and serves clients in every Cambodian province. With an average loan size of US$115, AMK's focus is to provide credit and savings products to the very poor in rural areas. For more information, please visit AMK's website.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

UPDATE: Kotaku wrangled a statement out of Nintendo.
"Nintendo has been permitting the use of Nintendo copyrighted material in videos on YouTube under appropriate circumstances. Advertisements may accompany those videos, and in keeping with previous policy that revenue is shared between YouTube and Nintendo. In addition, for those who wish to use the material more proactively, we are preparing an affiliate program in which a portion of the advertising profit is given to the creator. Details about this affiliate program will be announced in the future."
Kotaku also has a few thoughts from YouTubers TotalBiscuit and Zack Scott. Check it out here.
Original Story: Last year Nintendo started making copyright claims against 'Let's Play' video makers who were playing through their games. It earned the company some ill will, and eventually the makers of the Wii U and 3DS backed off. Now the company has unveiled a revenue sharing program for YouTube video makers that will force anyone who uses Nintendo's intellectual property in a video to split the revenue with the company.
According to several tweets from Nintendo's Japanese-language Twitter feed, the company will require anyone who wants to make a video containing their IP to first get permission from Nintendo and then split the revenue with Nintendo and Google.
The company said on its Twitter feed that it has already begun tagging videos that contain its property, and Nintendo ads are appearing on these videos.
We will have more on this story as it develops and as the YouTube video making community reacts. For those not wanting to monetize a video, this probably isn't a big deal, but for those who like Nintendo games and want to share their play experiences with the rest of the world and earn a little money, these extra steps and the loss of even more revenue might just be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Probably similar to what the Democrat Re-Education Camps wil be like for us Christians Conservatives one day.
In many Arab countries, they just kill us. Re-Education is beyond the pale. Where have you been born and housed to think people are no persecuted for being a Christian. Many have been thrown in prisons and such camps as these.
This thread is about Vietnam, not Arab countries.
This nation and it's putrid, sickening, Liberal-Socialist infested quisling media -- it'd appear -- are going to get their way.
They've insisted & now seem to have successfully convinced the gullible American public we're nothing more than a pack of moronic losers.
Fine, have it their way.
America should call home her brave kids, today, this very instant & not another precious soul would be lost for anyone else's "freedom" ever again.
No exceptions.
A rogue nation or nations wants to screw with America, on American soil, there's a solution.
American intelligence will find out exactly who's behind any attack, they always do.
Soon as the truth's known our nuclear boomers will launch an all-out attack with their well stocked nuclear arsenal against any & all "host" nation(S).
Turn the place(s) into rubble, return 'em to the stone age & then leave whatever's left to themselves.
Enough is enough.
High time America took care of its own.
It's quite apparent -- to me, anyway -- America seems all-too-content entertaining the jesters & clowns staffing the Liberal-Socialist quisling media so with the enemy within, what's happening know is foolish & an exercise in futility.
I mean we can't kill 'em, right?
Trouble is, Sarge?
If/when the Liberal-Socialists decide sending our kids into harm's way -- for God only knows what reason(s) -- is merited, that's exactly what they'll do & do so with complete impunity.
They'll be supported, hailed as "wise" & compassionate defenders of "freedom" and the Liberal-Socialist leader ordering the aggression??
That individual will be immortalized forevermore as the greatest person of our time, another "FDR".
By who will this aggrandizement come, you wonder?
Why the Liberal-Socialist quisling media, of course.
Time to bring the kids home, Sarge.
Time to take care of ourselves.
...& to hell with this damned world.
Actually, this thread is all about not repeating the suffering of many...
...that comes when the Free ABANDON the newly Freed:
I hear your frustation, Friend Landru. that's expressed so very well here.
But as long as I have this Internet tool to try and prevent a repetition in the Middle East of the so very unnecesssary suffering that was brought upon a once Free People when we ABANDONED them during their Battle for Freedom in a threatened Southeast Asia long ago,
...I will continue to sacrifice whatever it takes to do so.
Things already sacrificed:
For the one thing the LOVE Itself needs more of in this world, for GOD is LOVE, is more LOVE.
And that only comes when...
...people are FREE..!!!
Something's working, perhaps..?
KENNEDY drops support for a KERRY presidential run in '08
So be it.
Just the kind of man you are, a class act.
One who put their money where their mouth is on numerous occasions and when you & those like you are gone may God have mercy on us, all.
We'll need it.
In the meantime we must accept the reality "they're" hell bent on doing the exact same thing as happened in SE Asia and succeeding, again!
There's not a damned thing anyone can do about it, either.
Anecdotal example but just yesterday it was reported a GI from Fort Drum was spit upon, "assaulted", in an airport by a deranged 34 y/o Liberal-Socialist bitch.
Happened in the shithole we know as Syracuse, NY, and oddly enough the authorities actually caught the POS in the parking structure before she could flee.
Her "punishment"?
I'm going to *guess* a couple hundred $$ fine & 30 days probation.
Won't tell you what I'm thinking should happen to the whacked-out bitch.
Listen, Sarge.
IF this nation's going to send her children into harm's way we'd better damned well at LEAST support them AND the cause that took 'em there.
Be the cause "right" or "wrong", it doesn't matter once they're involved.
Those GIs are fighting FOR the concept of "freedom" they believe in, a freedom of us & for them & sacrificing their own lives in the process.
Meanwhile they're cleverly, constantly -- albeit passive-aggresively -- "attacked" back here, at home from within by the lowliest scum of scum who embolden whack jobs such as the bitch cited, above.
With the results of the last election I suspect we'll be hearing more & more of this kind of crap. Expected to passively stand by & let it happen, too?
I'm sorry Sarge but that's not acceptable, in fact down right screwy.
It is up to -- & always has been up to -- the AMERICAN PEOPLE to protect those abroad who're protecting us & a liberty *someone's* decided should be implemented where there is none.
Is that asking too much, and, if we cannot--will not do that then dammit don't send 'em to start with.
The system "some" used for making decision(s) involving the lives of others needs to change, and it needs to change right now.
"Things already sacrificed..."
Know very well what you & your comrades sacrificed, Ron.
I've nothing to say that'd adequately express my profound gratitude because although I may be a Viet-era vet, I didn't experience any of the hell you & thousands of others had to endure.
All I've got today is my rage having to sit idly by & witness both the living & dead disrespected & defiled by those who'd otherwise be among the first to be shot as even our enemies understand there's no room for treasonous bastards after they're finished doing what treasonous bastards do best.
Is *this* what exercising "freedom" has come to mean?
To piss on those who had the pride of liberty & the courage to try "giving" it to others with their own blood?
If so then burn it all to the goddam ground & start over, it's no longer worth saving.
Spreading [that] kind of insanity to another peoples boarders on the criminal.
"For the one thing the LOVE Itself needs more of in this world, for GOD is LOVE, is more LOVE. And that only comes when...people are FREE..!!!"
I'll leave God outa this, it's apparent to me He has a weird sense of humor *and* justice if and/or when things are permitted to go as far, get as screwed-up as they are.
We mortals, OTOH, are another matter.
When I was a kid I'd want something, beg my old man to give it to me & he'd have none of it, always refused.
Told me I had to work for whatever I wanted, would even make crap up to give me to do so I could earn whatever it was I seemed to want so damned bad.
He knew if he simply gave me something, I'd never respect it.
He was absolutely right even if I resented the hell outa him while being forced to learn his pithy object lesson.
Well Sarge, y'know what?
"Freedom" & "liberty" is the same.
Precisely why I said let us take care of our own & to hell with the world *&* their problem(s).
American taxpayers have sacrificed FORTUNES developing WMD so we could GUARENTEE our nations safety, our liberties against all comers.
It's about time we embraced the meaning, the philosophy behind developing those weapons.
Long overdue.
Let the Iraqi, Iranian, North Korean and any other damned nation's PEOPLE fight for their OWN freedom. Shed their OWN blood just as our forefathers did, IF, they want it so bad.
Liberty must be earned or it has no value.
It's that simple.
Our attempt(s) to "give" Liberty, using the blood of our kids, hasn't worked.
Not then & not now regardless how sincere our intention(s) might be.
Continuing the present course?
...is just nuts.
Ol' "Captain Obvious" wasn't about to hitch his fatass-wagon to a falling star, huh.
Not there's a shocker.
Wouldn't be the first time the ol' "Captain" abandoned someone, leaving 'em alone.
...to drown.
KENNEDY pulls his '08 KERRY Presidential Endorsement =
KERRY to meet soldiers, leaders in Iraq
Thanks for the ping!
Just like he went to Paris during the Vietnam War to meet with our Communist North Vietnam Enemy
...to undercut a sitting President of the United States' position in Peace negotiations...
KERRY says willing to go to Iran
KERRY called us American Soldiers fighting for the Freedom of Communist terrorist-threatened Free South Vietnamese ..the terrorists.
KENNEDY then pushed Congress into cutting off all our funding for Free South Vietnamese to fight for their own Freedom with, and then for Medical Aid needed for their resulting wounded casualties as they were running out of Ammunition. Directly bringing about the 1975 Fall of Saigon.
KENNEDY recently stated on NBC-TV's 'Meet the Press' that "only" about 100,000 South Vietnamese lost their lives after the Fall of Saigon. He was NOT challenged by the program's TV host RUSSERT for this blantant lie on National TV.
KENNEDY appears on the FoX News Channel's 'FoX News Sunday' TV Interview program for the first time ever tommorrow morning, with re-airings later during the day Sunday.
Stayed tuned for more of the same from KENNEDY on National TV as the newly Free Iraqi people fight for their own Freedom, after our own Freedom was attacked by terrrorists here at home.
Doesn't there come a time when we have to start asking ourselves...
.."Why has the KERRY/KENNEDY duo always been so dead set against Freedom for Others when they are threatened by terrorists..?"
We know that millions of people in S.E. Asia lost their lives after the Fall of Saigon.
Remember "The KILLING FIELDS" Motion Picture..?
When the graphically accurate Vietnamese-American "The JOURNEY from the FALL" Motion Picture Production is finally released nationwide in theaters in March 2007...
...you'll finally be able to grasp the massive suffering endured by the once Free South Vietnamese after the Democrats in Congress ABANDONED them to invading Communist terrorists from the North ..without the means to defend themselves.
I only regret that "The JOURNEY from the FALL" Motion Pictures didn't find a distributor before this year's Congressional Elections.
In this new time of war in a new Century, with our own Freedom now directly at stake right here at home...
...it could have made all the difference.
HUGH HEWITT: The Elections of 2028: What did you do when America was attacked?
Thanks for the ping!
TED KENNEDY just stated on 'FoX News Sunday' that our American Soliders have now been in Iraq...
...LONGER than they were in South Vietnam.
American Troops were gone from South Vietnam by 1973.
TED KENNEDY personally visited us American Soldiers fighting for Freedom in Vietnam in October 1965.
(See 5th Picture down)
TED KENNEDY has repeatedly lied on TV to the American People about the Vietnam and now Iraq Wars.
Just count the millions of S.E. Asian casualties that resuted from his personally getting Congress to cut off all our funding for the then Free South Vietnamese to fight for their own Freedom with, and then for all Medical Aid for them to treat their resulting casualties with.
The Enemy is now Within,

People are essentially arrested because they are Christians but the phenomenon is in decline. Actually people who are Protestant Christians are arrested for doing or saying things that would not get other folks arrested, or at least not so soon. Protestants are a fairly new phenomenon in Viet Nam and Protestantism is considered a foreign thing, a Western thing. Catholics have been a substantial element of the population for several centuries and Catholicism is "Vietnamese." Actually, following Reunification the VCs
(that's what the locals call government people and government fans) attempted to ban religion altogether. The Buddhists, at least in the South, pretty much just stopped- went home and drank tea. The country was sliding rapidly toward the cliff when the VCs decided well okay, Buddhism is a Cultural Vietnamese institution. Right then the border war with China was on and the VCs discovered that they were Vietnamese, not undifferentiated Communists. It took a few years longer to determine that Catholicism is also Culturally Vietnamese but the Catholics were becoming the business class pretty rapidly because they were not permitted to work for the government or in any of the government enterprises, so they got into trading and services and making stuff to sell. The economy was more and more depending on them. The major social disabilities finally came off in the last year.Protestant conversion has happened much too recently and much too fast and the VCs do not understand it and simply don't have any idea how to deal with it. To the VCs it is some sort of foreign invasion. Moreover it has happened mainly among the mountain people- the minorities. The VCs, and to some extent, the Kinh (the ethnic Viets) see it much the same way that our own establishment viewed the Ghost Dance phenomenon that swept the Great Plains Indians in the late 1880s. In our case that led to Wounded Knee and lots of other untoward action. We got over it finally, but not without some egregious killing and imprisonments. The analogy is apt, in part because the folks we call Montagnards are to Viet Nam very much what the plains Indians were to America ca. 1885-1920. There are even reservations from which the Moi and the Hmong depart from time to go hunting or just because it is the season to go somewhere else. The VCs will get over it and US pressure is a great factor in the speed with which they get do over it. Viet Nam desires to be protected by America and desires to NOT be the Chinese Riviera. Viet Nam is thus much more responsive to American pressure than, say, China. The real holdup is that the VCs, while wanting to make all the changes necessary are trying to do it in such a way as to also keep their jobs. Ultimately they will fail to keep their jobs.
Your brilliant sharing of CLARITY in Post No. 486,
...as our U.S. 7th Cavalry Commanding Officer Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE kept telling his men while completely surrounded by 1,000's of North Vietnamese Communist Army Regulars in that Valley of Death known as the IA DRANG Valley of November 1965,
.."Is just OUTSTANDING"..!!!
Thank you for the ping to ThanhPhero's post.
GOOD links, Ronnie. Thanks.
Thank you to...
...all those who have CARED enough to contribute their very best to the over 23,000 viewings of this most important Thead of CLARITY.
Especially in a new time of war with our own Freedom directly at stake here at home.
Perhaps the greatest value of such CLARITY may well be in our NEVER AGAIN repeating this same kind of tragic 'Cut & Run' History,
...and the mass suffering of so many Free souls it always produces..?
NEVER ever AGAIN.

One of the county's largest fire departments wanted to collect more money in taxes for equipment but was turned down.
The Johnson County Board of Commissioners denied a request from the White River Township Fire Protection District to increase its cumulative fund rate, which determines the amount of tax dollars the district receives each year to buy equipment.
With the current rate, the department receives $450,000 per year to buy equipment. The proposed 4.7 percent increase would have brought in an additional $20,000 into the fund each year.
Commissioner Ron West said he did not support the request because it would add more stress to other county entities, and Commissioner Brian Baird said the additional $20,000 could be found elsewhere in the district's $7 million budget. Commissioner Tom Kite was in favor of the request, citing the need to avoid interest payments on future vehicle purchases.
White River Township Fire Chief Jeremy Pell said the district wanted to set aside more money to buy fire trucks with cash, avoiding interest payments. The fire district currently has $1.462 million in its cumulative fund, but approximately $1 million will be used to purchase a ladder truck in about a year, Pell said.
The request, if approved, still would have needed the final OK from the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance.
Last year, the fire district requested a rate increase, but it was denied by the state.

Skip to comments.Michael Steele on Perrys Hunting Camp: Its Very Troubling
Posted on 10/03/2011 12:00:27 PM PDT by roses of sharon
Even as Texas Governor Rick Perry downplays the story of a racist epithet painted on a rock outside a property that he co-leased, black Republicans are not giving him the benefit of the doubt. First came GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, who said yesterday that Perry handled the episode in a very insensitive way.
And in an interview with TIME on Monday morning, former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele also scolded Perry. Its very troubling on some many levels, for so many reasons, Steele said. Steele said questions over when and how clearly the rock had been painted over miss the point:
So Im going to lease lease a property.....Do you paint over the rock? Or do you just remove the damn thing altogether? So, Im sorrymy attitude is just remove the rock. That is the ultimate statement for me. Just get rid of the rock. Unless the thing is a damn boulder.
Steele stopped short, however, of impugning Perry personally. I am not ascribing anything to anyones motives or decisions, he said. He added, however, that he agrees with Cains criticism: I think Herman Cain was right. It does lead one to feel that there was a level of insensitivity about how this would be perceived by the larger community. Im not just talking about black folks, Im talking about all folks. You would think that even in the 1980s that there would still be some sense of, Do we really want this on our property? Even though were leasing it, still, do you really want that there? And just painting over it?
At that, Steele, who believes the Republican Party needs to make amends with black voters for its Southern Strategy, simply sighed with exasperation.
(Excerpt) Read more at swampland.time.com ...
The GOP is dead, they just don't know it yet.
You and me both. This is beyond ridiculous and Michael Steele should shut his mouth.
It's a fake hit job by the leftist media. Steele is an idiot who now works for MSNBC.
Not without filing an Environmental Impact Statement, completing a Type I Archeological and Historical Study, submitting an erosion and sediment control plan and obtaining all applicable federal, state on local PERMITS, you don't!
An idiot who works for MSNBC - some might say that is redundant...
Sadly, I think you are right.
The TEA Party should replace the Republican Party IMHO.........
I get it, but at some point OUR candidates and the former head of the RNC SHOULD GET IT TOO.
The Republican party have been enabling the MSM for over 30 years now, FGS!
How long can one remain in a political party that consistently runs us down, calls us racists, bigots, hobbits...and on and on.
I am sick of it.
Cain should be ashamed of himself. I am offended by his shallow political-correctness.
The Republican Party should be a 3rd party by now, their insults to the base should not be rewarded with votes.
If they are embarrassed by us, so be it.
Why keep voting for men who hate us????
Actually, this is great. The media are making fools of themselves beating a horse that died yesterday when Perry cleared the situation up.
—Do you paint over the rock? Or do you just remove the damn thing altogether? So, Im sorrymy attitude is just remove the rock.—
My attitude is, "which is cheaper". They both accomplish the same goal. Duh.
When Cain and Steele come out and complain against all THIS: barnesandnoble; instead of happily signing their books there. I will believe them to be hypocrites.
No, you should be ashamed of yourself. Cain didn't start this fight...he answered a question asked to him by Chris Wallace. He gave an HONEST answer. The fact that Perry is now circling the wagons instead of letting the story go is a bigger issue. If you want an honest candidate, then accept answers you don't like. But, since you obviously like politicians who pander, back-slide, etc, then you are the one with issues...not Cain. The rock WAS insensitive...now tell me, did he have this rock displayed on his property or not?
I don't think Perry is a racist.
It was unfortunate.
Let it go.
There are more important things.
I left the R's just before the 2004 election. When I am supposed to thank my party for only raping me once when the other party would have raped me twice, I have gotta expand my dating pool.
I did.
The property was leased. It was not for the Perry family to remove a rock that itself didn't need removing.
The do nothing Michael Steele is troubled? He IS a major trouble to the GOP. Get lost, mickey - your time is over.
—Not without filing an Environmental Impact Statement, completing a Type I Archeological and Historical Study, submitting an erosion and sediment control plan and obtaining all applicable federal, state on local PERMITS, you don't!—
You moron! There is an endangered beetle living under it. All that paperwork was a waste of time. And need I mention the toxicity of the paint to the beetle? It shall be ground off, after submitting the forementioned permits.
I'm no Perry fan either> Cain should have not played the race card, it shows a profound character flaw IMHO
Steele is a weenie, he's about as much of a conservative as a marshmallow
You think that Cain and Steele would investigate better. Both are looking now like they shoot from the hip.
I wouldn't blame Perry for restoring the boulder to its historical status at this point, saying that it's like Huckleberry Finn, a work of a bygone day that reminds us of its commonplaces that are shocking now. Maybe put a little plaque on the rock commenting on it.
whoever said it was right ..The Stupid Party ...
all of them... just a bunch of f'n idiots, no discipline, no brains, no thinking before they speak ... my god
No, he did not. It was never "his property". Sheesh.
I hope the author is not surprised that a RINO has a problem with Perry. I'm not a Perry fan, but it sure looks like the RINOs and the media are piling on.
If the facts had been as Cain had believed, that wouldn't have been wrong to criticize, any more than criticizing calling Italians spics and wops. Cain didn't get the facts right and he unwittingly fed the sharpie Sharptons of the world.
As far as I know, Cain is not a slave and is responsible for the words that come out of his mouth.
I watched him use the word "insensitive" multiple times.
Any use of the word "insensitive" is political correctness.
Herman Cain should be ashamed. And you too.
My feelings exactly!! And Cain can take a hike - he has not done one thing FOR American but him$elf and $tockholders and he wants to lead this country. He must feel somehow he is entitled by throwing his hat in the ring.
Hey Cain - what's going on in your mind - thinking about a beer submit in the WH and invite Perry? What about those loans your bro is giving out again - we can't hear you.
Very disappointed in Cain and Steele.
They should have LAUGHED the question off....
AS I posted on another thread...
Suppose you are a Professional Politician...
And someone offers to lease you some land...
And the name of this land is called "Niggerhead"...
Shouldn't some kinda ALARM BELL have gone off in Rick Perry's mind? As in, "No thanks, I'll look for land elsewhere."
Just sayin'
Well at least they didn't lynch the rock.....
Think about the outrage over that.
did he have this rock displayed on his property or not?
It was not his property and he did not put it there.
(I heard Perry pooped his pants 58 years ago.)
GFY Steele.
Herman Cain doesn't have much experience at this level and he got played.
He hasn't struck out, not yet, but one or two more of these and, like Bachmann, he's a fallen star.
Michael Steele, otoh, was, is, and always will be, a fool.
That's true, it's not the "sensitivity" alley we want America to be going down, because that puts it hostage to any malcontent regardless of reason. "Niggerhead" isn't "appropriate" today. "Nigger" always was a pejorative upon the objective word "Negro." The reason that Mark Twain peppered his work so with the word was to rouse the disgust of his readers at large at a rightfully disgusting situation. People are creations of God, made by God in God's image in a way that no animal is, and we indirectly slander God by tossing around inappropriate epithets about people, even evil people.
Perry could put this to bed real fast.
This incident happened in the 80's when Perry was a democrat. It didn't seem to be a problem back then. So when he was a dimrat, it was perfectly fine.
What crap! He just did, immedieately before saying this, then he did it agian afterward.
Now I'm not saying Steele is a race baiting moron, but for him to say this could easily be seen as an indicator that he is a race baitning moron.
"When asked last week, Perry said the word on the rock is an offensive name that has no place in the modern world."
He gave written statements about what happened last week, too.
It wasn't his property? I thought his father bought it. Is the story changing now?
Steele said questions over when and how clearly the rock had been painted over miss the point:
The point is why are you giving the story more legs than it deserves?
Dumbles throw the bone into the pack and all the pubbies RUSH to fight over it while they sit back and giggle at your stupidity.
It was years ago...who gives a crap?
Well there's no excuse for Cain and Steele to pile on any more.
Steele is their pet "conservative", along with the cross-eyed guy.
The story has always been that it was leased property. You obviously choose to ignore that fact.
It seems the Republican party has an never ending list of fools.
This has gone on too long, the Right needs some strong leaders to pave the way for others.
But where are they?
Leased. Not purchased. The story from the Perry camp has not changed.
It's a deer lease!!!! The only connection he has to the land is the rented right to hunt on it!
And then there's the issue of lead in the paint. Chances cannot be taken. The rock was probably originally painted BEFORE the EPA banned lead paint. The entire area must be treated as if it has been contaminated by large amounts of lead. A complete containment structure will need to be built around the rock, and ALL traces of paint removed from it using environmentally neutral methods.
One hundred percent recapture of all pf the paint removed will be required, with strict record-keeping and chains of custody maintained. Permits will be needed in order to transport the potentially toxic waste-paint over the highways to a hazardous waste landfill where a separate permit will be required to dispose of the materials.
Finally, extensive study of the endangered beetle will need to be performed to ensure that long-term exposure to the potential lead in the paint has not had any long-term detrimental health benefits on the poor defenseless insect.
It will be YEARS before anyone will be allowed to move that rock.
It was a hunting lease. lease/lÄs/Verb: Grant (property) on lease; let. Noun: A contract by which one party conveys land, property, services, etc., to another for a specified time, usually in return for a periodic payment. Kind of like renting land. It's yours to hunt on for a fee. How big does a rock have to be to write 10 letters on it that you can see from your truck?
Man up Michael.

ResearchGATE promotes scientific cooperation
ResearchGATE has successfully launched this year as the leading social network for natural scientists. It offers many cutting-edge tools and applications for researchers to interact and collaborate. By now, more than 17,000 users have signed up and the number is growing daily.
Social networking for researchers
The website offers several possibilities to communicate with other researchers. Members can present their profile and work, manage and extend their professional contacts, join or found groups, ask or answer questions, share or search papers and more. With no effort, researchers get to know colleagues worldwide that are working on similar subjects. A job board will be launched within ResearchGATE shortly. The platform is free, safe and without spam.
All features and tools are custom-made for researchers. For example, a newly developed semantic search engine allows researchers to find groups, papers, fellow researchers and everything else within and outside of ResearchGATE without having to read through dozens of irrelevant search results. The "similar abstract search"-functionality allows users to upload entire abstracts and find thematically related papers not only within the platform, but also in external databases such as PubMed.
A multi-purpose tool
Not only single users, but also previously existing networks like research projects, scientific associations or PhD programs can manage their cooperation with ResearchGATE. To this purpose, sub-communities with additional functions can be installed within the network. They allow these groups to communicate confidentially in isolation from the rest of the platform while using all its tools.
Making ResearchGATE work
Among the users are the European Science Foundation (ESF), the Max Planck PhD Net and GAIN (German Academic International Network). In addition, Rebirth, an excellence cluster at the Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover (MHH), communicates on the platform. MHHs dean Professor Dr. Christopher Baum says: Now it is up to us scientists to develop fast and safe tools for transferring knowledge together with the founders of ResearchGATE.
'ResearchGATE combines a virtual network for researchers with a powerful semantic search algorithm, says Dr. Ijad Madisch, ResearchGATEs CEO. The goal is to make the scientific workflow more effective. We constantly improve the functionality of our applications and implement new features always based on our users feedback. They know best how the platform can comply with their needs.
ResearchGATE is based in Boston, Massachusetts and Hannover, Germany and is managed by a group of active scientists. They are supported by an advisory board with esteemed professors from 18 countries. CEO Dr. Ijad Madisch, Ph.D., is a Harvard-trained virologist.

We reiterate an outperform rating on Union Bank with a target price of R220 a share given the decline in new stress loan formation in Q1FY15. Its new stress loan formation in the quarter was lower than other banks, which is a positive, in our view.
Union Bank's Q1FY15 PAT at R660 crore was higher than expectation, owing to write-back of investment depreciation of R140 crore and a sharp increase in income from the recovery of written-off assets. PAT grew 18.5% y-o-y and 14.7% q-o-q, the highest earnings growth among the PSU banks under our coverage.
Although slippage at R1,270 crore was somewhat higher than R1,200 crore in Q4FY14, it was within our expectation. Gross NPLs rose 7% q-o-q in the quarter. Fresh restructuring fell q-o-q to R460 crore (from R1,330 crore in Q4FY14), coming in far lower than managements guidance. New stress loans declined 31% q-o-q to R1,740 crore. Total outstanding restructured loans fell 3% q-o-q.
Stress loans stood at 9.3%, comprising gross NPLs of 4.3% and restructured loans of 5%. Union Bank slippage was lower than the PSB average in the quarter. At 2.5% of lagged loans, slippage was in line with that of Bank of Baroda and substantially lower than PNB/Bank of India/Allahabad Bank/Canara Bank. Within slippage, REI Agro is the biggest account at c.R200 crore.

This is the second time that she is requesting a loan with Impro and help from Kiva. Her last loan was paid off in full in December, which is why she's requesting a new loan. Her history qualifies her as a 1-rated client, which means she has a good payment history. The requested amount will go towards purchasing merchandise (wallets, bags, and briefcases). Her work and experience qualify her to take out a new loan. Since she has experience in this business, the income she makes will let her pay back her loan and cover her personal needs.
Translated from Spanish by Tanya Harper, Kiva volunteer
Historia del Cliente: La señora Juliana compra carteras y billeteras de cuero y cuerina y vende ambulando en las ferias de la zona sur, trabaja sola ya que su esposo es albañil. Vive en la zona de Callapa.
Es la segunda vez que solicita un crédito en Impro y la segunda vez que solicita ayuda de Kiva. Su última cuota ha sido cancelada en diciembre por lo que solicita un nuevo crédito. Su historial la califica como cliente 1 es decir con cumplimiento bueno en el pago de sus cuotas. El monto solicitado será destinado para la compra de mercadería (carteras, billeteras y maletines).Su trabajo y experiencia le permiten acceder a este crédito ya que tiene experiencia en su negocio, el cual le da ingresos para cubrir el préstamo y sus necesidades personales.
Additional Information
About IMPROIMPRO is a small non-profit organization that has been offering micro credit to the working poor in the Bolivian cities of La Paz and El Alto since 1995. IMPRO's goal is to fight poverty by offering loans to small business owners who cannot access credit through the regular banking system due to a lack of guarantees or collateral.
To ensure that everyone has access to credit, IMPRO maintains a low interest rate by minimizing operational costs. IMPRO's partnership with Kiva, which began in 2007, has allowed IMPRO to expand its services while maintaining these low interest rates.
