Long Beach Comic Con 2013 Con Report!
December 3, 2013 by Richard Oh

Comments Off on Long Beach Comic Con 2013 Con Report!
On November 23-24th, 2013, the Long Beach Convention Center was home to the 5th annual Long Beach Comic and Horror Con! Usually held around Halloween, this show was pushed back to late November, making this one of the final comic cons of 2013! In addition to the date change, they also got rid of the Friday evening show and I believe it was the right call. Saturday was booming, with lines going out the door and a steady flow of patrons all day long! Sunday slowed down quite a bit and while still a lot of foot traffic, not enough spending.
With the usual talent of comic creators attending Long Beach, including mainstays of LBCC Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Whilce Portacio, Tim Bradstreet, and Todd Nauck, joined by special guests Gene Ha, Carlos D'Anda, Marc Silvestri, Mark Texeira, Art Thibert, Andrew Robinson, Mark Waid, and several other awesome comic talent, LBCC did close out the 2013 con year nicely.
While Comic Cons seem to be growing every year, it seems harder and harder for each show to bring something new. I did love the fact that there was an awesome car display in the front of some of the most famous cars in pop culture, along with a lot of retailers in prominent display at the show. One thing also appreciated was that comics were far more emphasized than pop culture stars, and that's one thing I always do appreciate at LBCC. Hopefully next year, they'll bring over the bigger hitters in comics to really close the year with a bang. Star power does draw more crowds, and I for one would love to see LBCC thrive and succeed for the next 5 years and beyond. And now, onto some photos!
A line forms inside the convention hall on Saturday morning.
Artist Alley is bustling in the morning.
An awesome array of pop culture cars. But it's not complete without…
The Batmobile. Chicks dig the Batmobile.
Gene Ha and his awesome banner graces LBCC.
Amanda Conner signs her Harley Quinn for eager fans.
Mark Waid signing for eager fans.
Mark Texeira signing comics for fans.
Todd Nauck's list is currently closed.
Richard Friend showing off his portfolio to customers.
Alex Sinclair working on a commission at LBCC!
Tim Bradstreet sketching for fans.
Andrew Robinson selling the graphic novel of 2013, The Fifth Beatle!
Carlos D'Anda wants you to buy his art!
And now, onto some cosplayers!
A new meaning to the term robot chicken.
Iron Man and Tony Stark gracing the hall floor.
Why so serious?
Black Cat crosses your path!
I asked why they were at LBCC, but they said I needed level 7 clearance.
Power Girl flexing her muscles!
This kid is making me go crazy!
I am worthy of Mjolnir!
Kid cosplayers are so darned cute!
Pull my finger.
Best costume of the show!

DESCRIPTION: The hit Arcana series brings The World of Oz into the future with a SteamPunk spin, featuring all new characters side-by-side with beloved classics. The Tin Man has taken over the Emerald City, and Victoria Wright is tasked with ending his tyranny. Its Lions and Munchkins and GearHeads, oh my! Featuring a an Exclusive Variant cover from E.J. Su (IDW's TRANSFORMERS, Image's TECH JACKET).
NOTE: Sean Patrick O'Reilly and Erik Hendrix, the co-creators of The Steam Engines of Oz will be on hand during the convention (Erik runs the booth) and we're hoping to get EJ Su to come by as well. Also come to the booth to see other special Oz-related items.

NOTE: Artist Mike Dubish will be signing at various times during the convention.
DESCRIPTION: In the lurid city of Ares, Smash is a trusted officer of the Horde, a brutal syndicate. As an angry orphan, he was hand-selected by Maurice, the Horde's capo, to be groomed for leadership. After being sent on a mission to claim a powerful serum, Smash is left for dead and his girlfriend and unborn baby are taken by the very group that he swore allegiance to. He returns, armed with a serum that gives superhuman strength, and vows that he won't rest until his family is safe and revenge is taken upon those who betrayed him. Featuring an Exclusive Variant cover from Kanye West's art director, Joe Perez.
NOTE: Creator Vlad Yudin, Variant Cover artist Joe Perez, and Regular cover artist, Tim Bradstreet will be signing during the convention.
DESCRIPTION: Bill Paxton & Arcana Comics presents 7 Holes for Air. Bob Rourke is the kind of man they don't make anymore. He's a tough son of a b****: A fifty-year-old steelworker who smokes, drinks, and never complains, even when he's in pain. After a persistent headache sends him to a doctor for the first time in his life, Bob learns he's facing the end. With disease ravaging his body, Bob soldiers on at home, at work and in an alternate Spaghetti Western reality in which his real-life antagonists become actual villains. Now Bob will stare down death the only way he knows how – with grit and determination – as he struggles against the ghosts of his past and the desire to leave something behind for his wife and daughter.
NOTE: BILL PAXTON will be signing at the Arcana Booth, 2415, on Thursday during SDCC from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm!
DESCRIPTION: MTV Comics and Arcana Studio present THE GLOOM. Once called a 'Mel Brooks movie of a comic' by COMICS INTERNATIONAL, acclaimed creators Tony Lee (Doctor Who) & Dan Boultwood (It Came!) return to the hero that brought them together! In 1940's Manhattan he's the only vigilante blocking the Vermillion and his N@zi allies from their plan to rule the world with ATOMIC ZEPPELINS! No pulp hero is safe from parody, in the comic series that once had the review 'Buy this book – sell a kidney if you have to!'
NOTE: Tony Lee, writer of many of IDW's Doctor Who books and others will be signing during SDCC.
DESCRIPTION: Jack and Tino, two strangers with a questionable past arrive in the reclusive town of Dreary where they unknowingly fulfill a prophecy that the town believes will precede the coming of the apocalypse. They are caught up in a whirlwind of judgment and paranoia, and it's a race against time to escape with their lives. The Devil is Due in Dreary is a music rich ride through the folklore of the old west. With rattling desert bones, pompadours, classic cars, and pearl handled pistols, it's an action packed rockabilly take on the classic western.
NOTE: David Parkin and Daryl Freimark will be signing during the convention.
DESCRIPTION: In the lurid city of Ares, Smash is a trusted officer of the Horde, a brutal syndicate. As an angry orphan, he was hand-selected by Maurice, the Horde's capo, to be groomed for leadership. After being sent on a mission to claim a powerful serum, Smash is left for dead and his girlfriend and unborn baby are taken by the very group that he swore allegiance to. He returns, armed with a serum that gives superhuman strength, and vows that he won't rest until his family is safe and revenge is taken upon those who betrayed him.

Las Vegas Comic Expo Relocates to the Riviera

Comments Off on Las Vegas Comic Expo Relocates to the Riviera
Las Vegas Comic Expo, previously announced to be held at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort, will be relocating to a new venue, the Riviera Hotel and Casino, directly located on the Las Vegas Strip!!!
Due to the flash floods from the recent rain storms, the original hotel and halls located at the Alexis Park Resort were damaged beyond immediate repair to house Las Vegas Comic Expo. Drywall, carpet and a lack of power proved too much to repair in such a short window, thus making the shift to the Riviera necessary.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused any of our guests, vendors and attendees. But oddly enough this unfortunate circumstance actually has led to an expansion for the show with a larger convention hall and plenty of space for attendees to browse and shop. The new location at the Riviera will be able to showcase and accommodate the entire guest list of over 50 of the top names in comics and entertainment all united with the exhibitors and artist alley in one grand exhibit hall. The gaming, panels and programs will be conveniently located adjacent to the main hall as well.
The dates of the convention hours remain the same for Las Vegas Comic Expo: Saturday, September 29 (10AM to 7PM) and Sunday, September 30 (10AM to 5PM).
All tickets previously issued will be honored and redirected to Las Vegas Comic Expo at the Riviera. Tickets are still available for sale in advance as well as at the door on the days of the event.
Located on the Las Vegas Strip, The Riviera Hotel and Casino is just a quick cab or shuttle ride from McCarran International Airport (LAS) and only minutes away from downtown Las Vegas and the Fremont Street Experience.
The hotel offers guests amenities of many dining options including a buffet, food court and steakhouse as well as the Oasis Pool, a barber shop, beauty salon, tattoo parlor (What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas), gaming casino and other forms of entertainment and conveniences. The hotel has ample free public parking, and is also a short walk to the public monorail system.
The Riviera is located at 2901 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
For more information about Las Vegas Comic Expo, including latest updates, please visit us at:
Website: http://www.LasVegasComicExpo.com
Facebook: http://facebook.com/LasVegasComicExpo
Twitter: http://twitter.com/lvcomicexpo
We are making arrangements with the Riviera Casino and Hotel to offer our guests of Las Vegas Comic Expo similar room rates as we had offered to our guests at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort.
We will have updated information to reserve hotel rooms within the next day.
Once we have that information, we will send it out to everyone.
If you used the "Las Vegas Comic Expo" promotional rate, you have two options.
You can maintain your reservation at the Alexis Park Resort.
The Alexis Park All Suite Resort will run a 14 seat shuttle service, complimentary to and from the Riviera Casino and Hotel, taking our guests door to door. The shuttle service will run on Saturday and Sunday from the Alexis Park every 2 hours at 8:00am, 10:00am, 12:00pm noon, 2:00pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm, and 8:00pm.
They will also continue to have complimentary shuttle service for their guests between the airport and the Alexis Park All Suite Resort.
You can cancel your room at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort and opt to make a reservation at The Riviera Hotel and Casino. The deadline to cancel at The Alexis Park Resorts without penalty is 48 hours prior to the date of your reservation.
For those who made reservations at Alexis Park outside of the Las Vegas Comic Expo promotions, you will need to discuss with Alexis Park about your options.
If you took advantage of the "Confirmed 100 Offer", your free admission to Las Vegas Comic Expo, as part of our free pass promotion will still of course be honored as long as the following applies:
If you keep your Alexis Park reservation, you will still receive the free admission pass(es).
If you transfer your reservation to the Riviera Hotel and Casino, you will still receive the free admission pass(es).
We will cross check all reservations made with Alexis Park and the Riviera.
With the current situation, the easiest way to claim your free admission is to bring a government issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc…) to the Will Call area during the pre-registration or show times.

Thomas Jane Gets RAW at Dallas Comic Con 2011

Comments Off on Thomas Jane Gets RAW at Dallas Comic Con 2011
Press Release:
Thomas Jane gets RAW at Dallas Comic Con, this May 21-22
For the past two years actor Thomas Jane has turned in an amazing performance on the hit HBO series HUNG, in which he stars as an average guy doing whatever he can to get a leg up… or, uh, something like that. Tom's acting has been so appreciated, he's received two back-to-back Golden Globe nominations, and a third season is on the way. Regardless of whether you've seen the show, chances are you'll recognize Jane from one of his many memorable roles through the years, including his breakout scenes in BOOGIE NIGHTS, the Renny Harlin shark thriller DEEP BLUE SEA, his terrific interpretation of Mickey Mantle in 61*, Cameron Diaz's love interest in the sexy comedy THE SWEETEST THING, the daring and difficult true story of STANDER, his comic book adaptation of "Frank Castle" in THE PUNISHER, the controversial leading man in Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's THE MIST, and so much more. You many have also chuckled during his memorable cameo in SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD… I know I did.
In 2005, Tom made his first appearance at the Dallas Comic Con, where he debuted the very first concept art for his comic book project BAD PLANET in the show program book. Since then he's released multiple comic projects through his RAW Studios imprint, a company he's formed with business partner and accomplished creator Tim Bradstreet. Series like BAD PLANET and ALIEN PIG FARM 3000 (written by DRIVE ANGRY 3D screenwriter Todd Farmer) have wowed fans and critics with fun throwback-style stories and artwork by some of the best artists in the business. Jane is currently working with acclaimed writer Bruce Jones to revive the ALIEN WORLDS and TWISTED TALES comic books, and has already written, directed and starred in his own movie, DARK COUNTRY. But you don't have to just read about the actor's exploits, you could actually meet him and his creative partners in person at the upcoming Dallas Comic Con this May 21-22. Thomas Jane, Tim Bradstreet, Todd Farmer and Bruce Jones will all be in attendance, along with RAW collaborators Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson. The RAW booth rarely makes a full appearance at any show outside of San Diego Comic-Con and the Long Beach Comic Con, but they'll be out in full force at the popular Texas-based event, signing autographs and meeting fans. Tom is currently scheduled to do a scheduled signing on both Saturday and Sunday during the show, and will be making frequent appearances at the booth.
This is a rare opportunity to meet one of the coolest creative teams in the industry, and if you haven't seen the guest list for the show, you'll realize this is just the icing on an already delicious cake. You can find out more information on the Dallas Comic Con (held May 21-22) at http://dallascomiccon.com – or on their Facebook page at http://facebook.com/dallas.comiccon.

Into high reps with light weights? This mini-tower (Tone Fitness Hourglass dumbbell set, $30; Amazon.com) includes 2-, 3-, and 5-pounders.
Devon Jarvis
Different heights make Power-Plyo boxes so versatile, they're worth the price tag ($100 to $130 for 6- to 18-inch heights; Power-Systems.com).
Gargantuan treadmill a no-go? You can get your cardio fix by doing moves like mountain climbers on Gliding disks ($17; Spri.com).
We like soft medicine balls (Reebok, $19 to $25; Amazon.com) for tossing, twisting and swinging moves. Hurling a dumbbell is kinda scary.
Bands (Xertube, $10 each; Spri.com) take up, like, no room but offer tension similar to bulky weights.
If you're a sweater (and we're not talking argyle), you need the Gaiam Sol Jala mat ($60; Amazon.com). It's textured to prevent slippage.
Pop your bike on this stand as Brooke D'Orsay does (Cyclone, $239; KurtKinetic.com) to ride inside.
Traditional stability balls are jealous of the Stediball ($60; Spri.com). It's weighted, so you'll never have to chase it down.
Each weight adjusts from 2 1/2 to 12 1/2 pounds (Weider Speed Weight, $77; Walmart.com). Because, really, who has room for seven sets of 'bells?

His theological motto could well have been: If it feels good, God doesn't like it! Amos skips from warning to judgment to condemnation with a kind of zealous glee. Thus says the Lord, "You're all going to Sheeeoooool!" What a downer.
1 Timothy 6:6-19; Luke 16:19-31
Next to the window in my study, where I can't but see it every day, there's a framed cartoon from an old edition of the National Lampoon. It's a spoof of a Medici rose window from the cathedral in Florence, and depicts a laughing camel leaping with ease through the eye of a needle. The superscription reads: "a recurring motif in works commissioned by the wealthier patrons of Renaissance religious art," while the Latin inscription on the window itself is "Dives Vincet,"or "Wealth Wins!"

They are very close to shore and the road and don't seem bothered by the fishermen who were casting within a few feet of them today. They have been accompanied by a flock of mallards who seem to be taking advantage of whatever the swans are stirring up from the bottom.

The new player allows you to pick the video playback settings that best suit your pc hardware and internet connection speed.
You can pick the video quality, from lowest to highest: SD Light, SD Medium, SD High, HD and TrueLife HD.
You can also chose the streaming method: HTTP and RTMP.
Q: Why so many choices? I just want to watch porn!
A: The default settings are good enough for most users so you dont HAVE to play with the settings. But, if you are experiencing bad streaming quality, video choppiness, slow seek time or if the video isnt loading for you, picking a different video quality or streaming method will likely help. And best of all, you wont have to post a comment on the forum and wait for it to be solved. The solution is in your hands!
Q: Why would I want to stream anything lower than TrueLife HD?
A: The TrueLife HD mode plays the scene in full HD at a very high bit rate (around 4 Mbits/sec). This will give you the best possible quality but requires a high speed Internet connection and very good hardware (recent CPU and graphics card). If you are experiencing a choppy stream or your computer is becoming unresponsive, it might be better to try a lower bit rate movie.
Q: Whats HTTP and RTMP?
A: They are both internet protocols used to send and receive information on the web. HTTP is the most popular method to send content on the internet. Its the protocol used by Youtube.com and most free video websites. RTMP is a proprietary protocol built by Macromedia optimized for video streaming. It is used mostly by subscription based websites. Its the protocol weve always used in the members area.
Q: When to use HTTP vs. RTMP?
A: You can try both and pick the one that is giving you the best experience. HTTPs main advantage is the video will keep buffering (downloading) when the player is on pause. So if your connection is slow or unreliable, you can pause the movie, wait for it to buffer and then enjoy a smooth streaming. RTMP on the other hand offers a faster seek time (or skip ahead time) and is less demanding on your hard drive. RTMP is recommended if you have a fast internet connection and like to stream in HD or if youre using a laptop/netbook with a slow hard drive.
Q: Will this solve all the streaming problems weve been seeing in the past?
A: There are many variables involved in streaming thousands of HD files simultaneously across the globe and each one can fail independently and cause a bad streaming experience. We have done extensive studies of the top streaming websites (adult and mainstream) on the web and have designed a streaming solution that will position Brazzers at the top. We are gradually deploying our solution and as we do, even with our best efforts, accidents do happen and we apologize in advance. What this player does, is that it gives you the power to chose the streaming technology and quality that fits you. And if for any reason, a certain file is corrupted, a stream is missing or a main route is down on the web, you can pick a different stream and watch the scene right away, instead of waiting for us to fix it. More power to you!

As stated in the introduction to this extraordinarily fine contribution to the subject of occupational disease, the application of adequate industrial measures is believed to be now limited to less than 5 per cent of this country's industries. Such knowledge as is now available has grown out of contributions by various governmental, social and trade bodies. The average physician has some general knowledge of the subject, but his knowledge is seldom systematized so as to be directly applicable to any given industry. The material contained in the contribution by Dr. McCord and Allen has been the basis of a course given to students in the Engineering College of the University of Cincinnati. Beginning with the introduction, which outlines the character of the problem, sections are devoted to emergency aid for the industrially injured, and to infection and disinfection. Then come several classifications of occupational diseases, with a long list of

Photo and caption by Brian Yen
Thanks giving is a time to appreciate what we've received in life due to the kind acts of others. This family lives in a make shift bamboo hut on the beach of Bacolod Philippines. They eat a simple meal of plain rice with some sauce for flavoring, once in a while they get to have some fish to go with the rice. They're a recipient of an NGO I was volunteering for. They thanked me for helping them, in turn, I thank them for amplifying my appreciation for all that I have. For anyone who might be puzzled by the title of the image, it's the title of Norman Rockwell's famous Thanksgiving dinner.

Free parking for Cats in video parody of Collingwood forward Travis Cloke
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- March 14, 2013
VIDEO: WATCH Geelong forward Mathew Stokes' take on Travis Cloke's parking problem.
The Magpies forward was this week fined $1000 for repeatedly parking in the car space of club CEO Gary Pert.
The fine was later waived and replaced with volunteer nightshifts with the Salvation Army.
Geelong players saw the funny side of the story and have filmed a cheeky video for the club website.
In the video, Stokes risks the wrath of Cats CEO Brian Cook in the Simonds Stadium car park.
Stokes and Cloke can discuss their parking techniques tomorrow, with both named to play in a Collingwood v Geelong practice match at the Cattery.
Perhaps Stokes could offer the Magpies forward his spot for the day.

Judge sentences Ramona man who fired shots to one year in jail
By Neal Putnam
A Ramona man was sentenced Tuesday to one year in jail after he pleaded guilty to negligently discharging a firearm in his house, sparking a standoff with sheriff's deputies in February.
Carl Wayne Jones Jr., 43, has a projected release date of Aug. 27, according to the sheriff's department. He received credits of 132 days already spent in jail including time off for good behavior.
Jones was placed on three years probation by El Cajon Superior Court Judge Charles Ervin, who ordered that he observe a lifetime ban on possession of firearms. On April 8, Jones also pleaded guilty to possession of an assault weapon and child endangerment since one of his children witnessed the event.
The dismissed counts include a second count of negligently discharging a weapon and two other charges of child endangerment involving the presence of his children in the house in the 12600 block of Galeria Circle in Ramona. The children and his wife were not injured.
The incident started Feb. 11 around 9:30 p.m. after sheriff's deputies responded to a child's call that his parents were arguing. Jones had locked himself in the bathroom and then fired a gun behind the bathroom door.
Everyone was evacuated from the house, but Jones refused to surrender. The sheriff's SWAT team and Crisis Negotiations Team tried to get him to surrender, and after eight hours they threw chemical agents into the home.
Around 8:49 a.m. on Feb. 12, Jones came out of the house unarmed and was arrested. Multiple firearms were taken from the home. Sheriff's deputies learned he had fired several rounds in the home before they arrived.
Ervin modified a protective order that stated he must have no negative contact with his children, and his wife was dropped from the restraining order. He is serving his sentence in the George Bailey Detention Facility.

Cheryl offered 1 m pounds to stay on X Factor
"Cheryl has been an instant hit with viewers and contestants," the Mirror quoted a studio insider as saying.
"She initially signed a one-year deal as she wasn't sure how she would fare and Simon didn't want to commit to an unknown quantity. Now he's desperate to get her for a new series and put pen to paper. He realises he will have to fight to keep her as Girls Aloud are in talks to do a US tour. So Simon needs to act fast and get her to sign before she has unavoidable commitments. As part of the package there's talk of involving her in another of Simon's shows. Cheryl is flattered," the insider added.
If Cole accepts the offer, it would put her ahead of Dannii Minogue, who is now in her second series, by 100,000 pounds.

Europe Sovereign Default Insurance Cost Near All-Time High
LONDON–The cost of insuring European sovereign debt using credit-default swaps rose early Thursday, after closing at an all-time high Wednesday.
The iTraxx SovX Western Europe index, which allows investors to buy or sell default protection on a basket of 15 sovereign borrowers, was at 2.0675/2.0875 percentage points shortly after 2:45 a.m. EST, according to index owner Markit. This was up from a close of 2.06 percentage points, and compared with Wednesday's intra-day high of around 2.10 percentage points.
The SovX Western Europe index has risen steadily since mid-October on worries about the health of euro-zone sovereigns and about whether bondholders will take losses under a post-2013 euro-zone crisis mechanism. The index now trades close to SovX CEEMEA, its equivalent for central and eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The cost of corporate default insurance was fractionally lower, continuing the recent trend of corporate CDS outperforming developed sovereign CDS. The iTraxx Crossover index of 50 mostly sub-investment grade corporate borrowers was 0.01 percentage point tighter at 4.38/4.42. The Europe index of 125 high-grade borrowers was 0.0025 percentage points tighter at 1.05/1.06.
CDS' function like a default insurance contract for debt. If a borrower defaults, sellers compensate buyers. A percentage point widening in five-year CDS equates to a $1,000 rise in the annual cost of protecting $10 million for five years.

There is no doubt that the content marketing revolution has taken agencies and brands by storm.
As the content industry matures into an estimated $4 billion industry this is cause for celebration: marketing has ideologically moved away from unhelpful, shouty, interruptive advertising to delivering utility through entertaining and informative content that meets consumers' needs and lifestyle interests.
However, in all the excitement of 'brands becoming publishers' many of them are also dealing with publisher's woes (as well as the benefits).
Scaling content production
Perhaps, the biggest issue facing brands who are committed to content marketing is the simple issue of feeding the beast.
It's one thing to orchestrate ten, 20 or even 40 pieces of original content for a marketing campaign, but content marketing is a marathon – not a campaign. Unlike media organisations, brands are not institutionally or operationally geared towards the task of producing content indefinitely. Despite some encouraging signs, very few brands have yet to work out how to refactor traditional marketing departments to emulate the processes of editors, subs and producers.
The solution to these issues of content scaling is usually met through content curation.
Companies such as Newscred and Feedmagnet enable brands to regularly ingest and republish feeds of licensed third-party content from reputable sources to bolster their own branded content propositions.
Knowing what to write about
Another issue is the problem of knowing what to write or create each day for your audience.
Whilst from the outset this seems simple enough – it becomes a whole lot more difficult once you realise that content marketing is not about creative ways of talking about your product (that's advertising), but instead a way of appealing to the various lifestyle needs and interests that concern the audience who might eventually buy your product.
Fortunately, the rise of content analytics – technology which extracts the topics, people, places, companies and concepts mentioned in a piece of content – has made it easier than ever for content marketers to solve this issue.
Using content analytics, content intelligence platforms can track interactions with a brand's content and use it to build detailed profiles about their readerships' topics of interest. Whether needing to understand what will resonate with their audiences' as a whole or as individuals, content marketers are now in an even better position than before to know what content topics are interesting to their audience.
Access and categorisation of content
When adopting production cycles as rapid as any major media publication categorisation and easy access to archived content becomes a huge issue. Particularly as once evergreen content is rapidly consigned to the sands of time with each new piece of content published.
Fortunately, content management services such as AlchemyAPI add a layer of machine-readable data (meta data) to content by tagging it automatically (much like the blue tags at the top of this article; telling it where to go and be archived in The Wall blog's CMS). This automatic tagging service not only makes it easier for content marketers to search for and retrieve content – it also means they don't have to manually tag or organise content each time it is produced. Something which is particularly useful when dealing with large amounts in a short space of time.
Distributing content to new audiences
It's one thing to create content. It's another to have it seen by the right people.
Whether we are prepared to admit it or not, all of us are aware of branded content marketing initiatives that look good and are rich in content but are just not getting the unique visits that they deserve. The issue here is distribution.
Companies such as Outbrain and Content Amp are taking on this challenge and alleviating the pressure for content marketers, by building relationships with publisher sites with large audiences, and then automatically seeding client content onto these sites under the guise of native advertising. You've most likely seen this in widgets below an article which say "More from around the web" or "You might also be interested in…".
By allowing content amplification technologies to link to their content from more popular sites, brands have a chance to get more inbound visits from new (and as-yet unengaged) readers that they otherwise would not have had access to normally.

> I have a basic question on this code:

If you're writing C don't cast the return value of malloc(),
it's useless and will keep the compiler from telling you
if you forgot to include
where malloc() is
> str ="Hello";
And here's the problem. You throw away the pointer you got
from malloc() and replace it by a pointer to the string
literal "Hello". I guess you meant to do
strcpy( str, "Hello" );
here, did't you?
> printf("string is %s\n",str);
> free(str);
Now you try to free() memory you never allocated.
> num = (int *)malloc(20);
> *num =100;
> printf("number is %d\n",num);
I guess you meant here
printf("number is %d\n",*num);
> free(num);
> }
> The free() works for the dynamically allocated int but not for the
> string. Why is that?
It will work for both if you don't throw away the pointer
you received from malloc().

The EPA's Clean Power Plan recognizes and bolsters the current opportunity to reduce carbon emissions by transitioning United States electric grid from a fossil fuel dominant fuel mix to a balanced energy portfolio that includes higher penetration of renewable energy resources. The Clean Power Plan will require affected electric generating units (affected EGUs) within each state to reduce their carbon emissions, thus presenting the opportunity for utilities and states to shift towards sources that generate energy with little or no carbon emissions such as solar energy.

Vidot, J, Jourdan, O, Kokhanosvky, AA, Szczap, F, Giraud, V, Rozanov, VV (2010). Retrieval of tropospheric NO2 columns from satellite measurements in presence of cirrus: A theoretical sensitivity study using SCIATRAN and prospect application for the A-Train. JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE SPECTROSCOPY & RADIATIVE TRANSFER, 111(4), 586-601.
AbstractA theoretical sensitivity study of the influence of cirrus cloud properties on tropospheric NO2 columns retrieved from the spaceborne Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) measurements is performed. It is conducted within the framework of the synergetic use of A-Train sensors to derive more representative trace gas products. We aim to study the potential effects of cirrus clouds on tropospheric NO2 retrievals using a retrieval algorithm that, unlike the OMI Standard and DOMINO algorithms, does not correct for the effects of clouds. The sensitivity study is based on the radiative transfer code SCIATRAN that performs both simulations of top of atmosphere (TOA) reflectances as measured by an OMI-like band and tropospheric NO2 column retrievals based on the differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) method. The results of the sensitivity study show that if a correction for cirrus clouds is not included in our simple retrieval that does not account for clouds in the first place, the tropospheric column can be underestimated by 55%. This underestimation depends strongly on cirrus parameters as, in order of importance, cloud fraction, cloud optical depth, asymmetry factor of cirrus cloud phase function and cloud top height. The perspective of the synergy between OMI and cloud information obtained from cloud-derived products of the A-Train is evaluated in two parts by applying a simple cloud correction scheme based on the independent pixel approximation (IPA). Firstly, we evaluated the tropospheric NO2 column retrievals error caused by uncertainties in cirrus cloud properties. Secondly we studied the influence of subpixel cloud optical depth variability on NO2 retrievals. From our simulations, it is demonstrated that the error will be reduced significantly if the cloud fraction is lower or equal to 0.5. In this case, the cloud fraction and the cloud optical depth must be known within accuracy less than 0.05% and 50%, respectively. The cloud top height and the asymmetry factor must be known within uncertainty of at least 1 km and less than 0.05, respectively. The latter result shows that the uncertainty of the asymmetry factor is a major source of error in the cloud correction for tropospheric NO2 retrieval in the presence of cirrus.

A member of the Toyota group companies
In 1902, "the history of the
Toyota Group
started when Sakichi Toyoda, the "great inventor of Japan," invented his epoch-making automatic loom. At that time, this invention was promised a great future of Japan. Later, Sakichi, who established Toyoda Automatic Loom Works Ltd., directed his inventive spirits not only to the automatic looms but also to the automobile industry. He therefore urged Kiichiro, his eldest son (the founder of our Company), to manufacture automobiles domestically as a next-generation business, and Kiichiro accordingly began his research and creation of cars.
In 1934, he established the "Steel Production Department" within Toyoda Automatic Loom Works Ltd. for the purpose of the research and development of "specialty steel," which was essential to the domestic manufacture of an automobile from the engine to the driving parts. It was beginning of Aichi Steel. In 1940, the Steel Production Department spun off from Toyoda Automatic Loom Works Ltd. and "Toyoda Steel Works, Ltd." was inaugurated, and now the name was changed to "Aichi Steel Corporation".
Currently, Aichi Steel Corporation works closely with Toyota Group companies, which play active in a wide variety of industrial fields with the automobile industry mainly. And we have continuing to grow presence to expand our sales channels to generate further patronage from a broad range of industries related to shipbuilding, railway cars, electronics and more.
Recently, we has been stepped-up development of electro-magnetic products, we have already produced dental magnetic attachments, anisotropic NdFeB bonded magnet, MI sensors, etc. on a commercial basis and we have expanded our business to new fields including medical and information technology fields, attracting significant attention.

Scientology's Licence to Kill - Only joking
A Perth Scientology whistleblower has told 3rd Degree in an exclusive interview that there could be "many Australians" on Church's hitlist.
Our questions were prompted by a leaked audio file from 1959, now available on Wikileaks, in which Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard explains that the "order R2-45" refers to shooting someone through the head.
R2-45 is an order or "auditing process" that Church of Scientology members are authorised by their church leaders to use when dealing with a "suppressive person" (SP).
The Church defines an SP as "a person who seeks to suppress any betterment activity or group" and a list of what makes an SP is available here. Declarations determining individuals to be SPs are sometimes announced by the Church and a list from the 1990s of all SPs declared to-then is publicly available.
Steve*, an independent Scientologist and whistleblower confirmed to 3rd Degree the existence of an updated version of the list:
"The Church surely keeps a database of all the people it has declared suppressive which includes where each person lives," he said. "Of course there are many Australians on the list."
He also explained the "disconnection policy":
"When someone is declared suppressive, every other Scientologist is required to disconnect from that person, which can devastate a person's family, life and livelihood," he said.
"This Disconnection Policy is worse than their policy of simply declaring people suppressive."
The Church believes in "exteriorization", a process whereby a person's soul or "thetan" is moved outside of the person/host's body and R2-45 is seen as a valid means of "exteriorization". Hubbard's 1954 book Creation of Human Ability states that R2-45 is "an enormously effective process for exteriorization but its use is frowned upon by this society at this time."
Hubbard also said that: "A truly Suppressive Person or group has no rights of any kind and actions taken against them are not punishable."
The Church of Scientology maintains that R2-45, and any reference made to it, is a joke, a position that Steve also agrees with.
"There is already plenty of real criminality you can write about — assault, battery, human trafficking, racketeering, kidnapping, forced abortions, manslaughter, mind control — but talking about R2-45 is just silliness," he said.
However, in leaked documents dating from 1968 to the 1980s, several people are declared to be "suppressive persons" and steps for dealing with them are listed including a step authorising members to use R2-45 if coming into contact with them.
In the 1970s the Church ran Operation Snow White using up to 5000 covert agents to infiltrate 136 government agencies, embassies and consulates from over 30 countries to retrieve unfavourable records on the Church and Hubbard. Leaked SP declaration documents dating from the 1990s onwards have no mention of R2-45 on them.
The current leader of the Church is David Miscavige, a man against whom several allegations of abuse, violence and criminal conduct have been made, although no charges have been laid. His alleged criminal activity is the main focus of recent protests by Scientologists who believe he has moved the Church away from Hubbard's original philosophy.
"David Miscavige is unimaginably vicious," Steve said.
"Those of us who witnessed his crimes are speaking out to protect people and doing so at great personal risk. He has not yet been charged or served time, but that will come.
"Miscavige was not nominated by Hubbard for anything. Hubbard did name the new leaders but Miscavige took them out. It was a coup, same as any dictator uses to get into a position of power," he said.
Angering Anonymous
The global protest group Anonymous now monitors Scientology-related criminal activity and allegations and endeavours to find proof so charges can be laid and branches shut down.
It regularly posts leaked documents on its forums, carries out Distributed Denial of Service attacks on servers of local Church branches and keeps track of former members and SP declares. It also staged a protest outside the Scientology headquarters in Perth in 2008.
Asked by 3rd Degree why Anonymous chose to attack the Perth branch, Sei Broadhurst, from the Public Affairs Department of the Church of Scientology said:
"Anonymous only attacked Scientology because they objected to the Church protesting a copyright violation of a video literally stolen from one of our churches.
"We simply asked for it to be removed - the law protects Scientologists as well as people of all or no faith. Some of these anarchist types took exception to our request and just decided that we were the next target."
The Church of Scientology wages a war against drugs, psychiatrists and alcohol. These beliefs have led to several criminal cases in Australia. In 2007 Linda Walicki was denied treatment by her Scientology parents and subsequently killed her father and sister.
Frank Vitkovic was tested by Scientology members who realised he was mentally unwell but counselled him to take a Scientology course instead of seeking treatment. After the Queen Street Massacre in 1987 in which he killed eight people before committing suicide, he was diagnosed as criminally insane and a paranoid schizophrenic.
In 2009, Perth resident Stephen McBride claimed that the Church drove his younger brother to suicide in 2007.
Making worshippers work
The organisation has also recently told the Federal Government that religious organisations should be exempt from the Fair Work Act and employment laws and regulations.
In a letter to the Federal Government, Public Affairs Director Rev Mary Anderson claimed that expecting religious organisations, such as the Church of Scientology, to follow workplace and employment regulations and requirements would lead to a "violation of human rights".
However, in 2010, the Fair Work Ombudsman initiated a investigation into the Church of Scientology's employment practices after receiving complaints. In 2011 it released a campaign against the WA Mental Health Bill launched in December 2011, claiming that it would allow psychiatrists to sterilize children as young as 12-years-old.
The actual Bill states that a child (defined as under 18 years of age) can only be sterilized if the child is deemed to be mature enough to understand the procedure and the consequences and has given informed consent in writing or if the Family Court has authorised it. In all cases where a child under 18-years-old has to give consent, it has to be in writing and the treatment has to be authorised by a psychiatrist specialising in child and adolescent mental health.
Scientology in Australia
The Church has had a rocky history in Australia. In 1965, the Anderson Report into the Church concluded that it was not a religious organisation nor a proper psychological practice and this led to the states of Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia banning the organisation under the Psychological Practices Act, 1965.
The Anderson Report stated that: "Scientology is a delusional belief system, based on fiction and fallacies and propagated by falsehood and deception" and that it "is not, and does not claim to be, a religion".
The Act was edited to remove all references to Scientology in 1982 and repealed in 1987. By then, the organisation had used the claim of being a religious organisation to exempt itself from the Psychological Practices Act and to gain tax free status. It then had branches in all three states and a new one in South Australia.
In 2009 Senator Nick Xenophon called for a parliamentary inquiry into the Church's tax exempt status stating that he had learnt of examples of abuse and violence from former members. The Australian Senate rejected the call in 2010 with 33 votes against it and 37 abstentions.
Text of the full Hubbard speech is available here.
