Pizza vs. Skeletons, a stylish side-scrolling platformer from Riverman Media, is now available from the app store. With a myriad of mini-games and a ton of customization options, variety is the order of the day and Pizza vs. Skeletons has proven to be extremely hard to put down.
Pizza vs. Skeletons Pros:
- Beautiful hand-drawn graphics and smooth animation
- Quirky and enjoyable soundtrack
- Simple tilt and tap mechanics for tight control
- Huge variety of level types and customization options
- GameCenter integration for global leaderboards and achievements
Pizza vs. Skeletons Cons:
- Difficult to tell how damaged the pizza is
- Unharmed stars are difficult to snag
You start the game as a huge pizza, complete with a sour facial expression and an attitude to match. There are 100 levels of gameplay spread evenly across 10 stages. It's difficult to characterize the type of activities that you'll need to perform, as things are changed up from level to level. One minute you are tasked with crushing skeletons, another you are rolling down declines and collecting coins, and the next you are balancing on a rolling skull as it passes across a field of spikes. You'll also find yourself swinging on a chain between buildings while crushing skeletons that appear in the windows, bouncing on space trampolines to clear the area of bouncing skulls, chomping small fish until you grow to be biggest in the ocean, gaining height by bouncing on brains so that you can come down with enough force to break through a stack of lumber, and much more. Each set of levels ends with a boss battle, pitting your pizza against an equally-sized skull in a pseudo-sumo match. Each level has 3 distinct goals that allow you to earn stars. These goals usually include completing the level and taking no damage, the latter being the one we struggled with most. Other goals are usually specific to the type of game played, so you can earn a star for breaking a certain number of boards, completing the level within a certain timeframe, or collecting a minimum number of coins. Each level contains coins that can be used to purchase different body types, toppings, accessories, and facial features for your pizzas. Additionally, you can earn some extra coins at the end of each level by spinning the Wheel of Pizza.
Graphically, Pizza vs. Skeletons has a really impressive hand-drawn style, and the customization options give the game the opportunity to tinker with the visuals to keep things fresh. Each level creates an air of excitement as you learn exactly what new gaming element you'll be faced with or which previously-seen elements will make their return. Beautiful backdrops create an immersive environment that gives the game a great deal of character. We were quite impressed to see that brand new mini-games were still being introduced very late into the game. The soundtrack also provides some catchy tunes that defy characterization as much as the game itself. The controls are simple and spot-on: you tilt to roll the pizza back and forth, tap to jump, and tap in mid-air to stomp. Calibration options are present from the pause menu, too.
Replay value is very good, as you'll need to grind a bit to earn enough money to purchase all available items to outfit your pizza. The quest for all stars should also take a good deal of effort, as the "Unharmed" star has proved to be a tricky one to snag with any regularity. Of note, to earn the full 3 stars for any level, all must be obtained on the same attempt. There is no mixing and matching as seen in a number of other games. GameCenter integration for global leaderboards and nearly a dozen achievements should keep you invested, too. A universal app on launch sale for $2.99 (regularly $4.99), Pizza vs. Skeletons is a can't-miss, 4.5-Dimple adventure.

Hi guys, i'm looking for a podcasting script that can take a podcast.xml file and add it to a directory.
Basically like a podcast search engine type script which requires a user to submit a podcast to it.
Any suggestions?
This isn't WP specific but i thought i would ask since podcasting and blogging aren't too apart.

–, Thursday, October, 26, 2006, (6:36am)
Australia's most senior Muslim cleric preaches that women who go out without a hijab must blame themselves if they are raped:
In the religious address on adultery to about 500 worshippers in Sydney last month, Sheik [Taj al-Din] Hilali said: "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat?
"The uncovered meat is the problem."
The sheik then said: "If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred."
In fact, even the victims of Bilal Skaf, the pack rapist who was initially jailed for 55 years, bear some blame:
While not specifically referring to the rapes, brutal attacks on four women for which a group of young Lebanese men received long jail sentences, Sheik Hilali said there were women who "sway suggestively" and wore make-up and immodest dress ... "and then you get a judge without mercy (rahma) and gives you 65 years".
"But the problem, but the problem all began with who?" he asked.
I guess that's what Hilali meant at the time when he blamed those pack rapes by Muslim Lebanese gangs on "Australian society".
When Australia's most senior Muslim cleric preaches something so disgusting and dangerous to a hall of men in Australia's biggest mosque we must ask if our problem is just with the preacher or with the faith itself. A lot depends on the reaction of the Muslim community.
So far, though, the "leaders" of that community have excused Hilali again and again for bigotry that would be unforgiveable in a leader of any other mainstream faith. He has praised suicide bombers as "heroes", called Jews the evil cause of all wars and hailed the September 11 terrorist attacks on the US as "god's work against oppressors". Yet the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils refused to sack him as Mufti, and Sydney's Muslim Lebanese community kept him as imam of Lakemba mosque.
I repeat: Is Hilali or his faith the problem? If Hilali is retained as Islam's most honored spokesman in this country, we will have an answer.
Have Your Say
How long before the mufti or one of his lapdogs claims he was "misquoted"?
I'll give him until 8am.
Keysar Trad, where are you?
Yours etc
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:17am)
I hope the Muslim world gets as upset by this as they did the Popes comments, which after what Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali has preached seem to be closer to the mark than I had hoped.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:21am)
The last line of your post says it all Andrew. How much longer are we going to put up with these outrageous attacks on our way of life?
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:26am)
If the cats were neutered and kept indoors then they wouldn't wander and eat the meat.
Perhaps that is what Muslim leaders should be advocating for their men!
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:29am)
The fact that we are so self critical in the West makes us vulnerable from without and within from interest groups who would exploit that self reflection and skepticism for evil purposes.
With so much Leftist ideology now focused on anti-Westerner rhetoric (never mind that free speech and democracy have their homes in the West), with so much ethical ambivalence in relation to Islamist, Taliban, or socialist totalitarian regimes, and with the "Imperialist West" identified as the foe of postmodern Islamists, it is no wonder we are unable to come to a resolve as a country and a community as to our identity and place in the world.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:38am)
Indeed Andrew. Maybe some of those who have hitherto chosen to pretend that they don't really mean it when they say those things will start to wake up.
Just yesterday, John Dope from Rose Bay was saying that he thought muslim women wearing the tent had more confidence. I don't think so Dope. It is forced upon them by people like Hilali. It is utter poison.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:42am)
Life in Australia is not as pleasant as it used to be since the arrival of men like Hilali.
Does he have the right to make Australian women feel uncomfortable and insecure in their own country?
I think not! So what is to be done about him?
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:42am)
So much for the argument muslim women wear veils willingly to express their independence and liberation. More likely so she doesn't cop a belting!
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:44am)
Naturally, this story has gone unreported on ABC radio news and AM this morning.
I think it's called "censorship by omission".
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:44am)
["So far, though, the "leaders†of that community have excused Hilali again and again for bigotry that would be unforgiveable in a leader of any other mainstream faith."]
Once again Andrew you have ommited certain parts of the article in order to rouse the yobbo masses
["Young Muslim adviser Iktimal Hage-Ali - who does not wear a hijab - said the Islamic headdress was not a "tool" worn to prevent rape and sexual harassment. "It's a symbol that readily identifies you as being Muslim, but just because you don't wear the headscarf doesn't mean that you're considered fresh meat for sale," the former member of John Howard's Muslim advisory board told The Australian. "The onus should not be on the female to not attract attention, it should be on males to learn how to control themselves."
Australia's most prominent female Muslim leader, Aziza Abdel-Halim, said the hijab did not "detract or add to a person's moral standards", while Islamic Council of Victoria spokesman Waleed Ali said it was "ignorant and naive" for anyone to believe that a hijab could stop sexual assault.
"Anyone who is foolish enough to believe that there is a relationship between rape or unwelcome sexual interference and the failure to wear a hijab, clearly has no understanding of the nature of sexual crime," he said.
Ms Hage-Ali said she was "disgusted and offended" by Shiek Hilali's comments. "I find it very offensive that a man who considers himself as a mufti, a leader of Australia's Muslims, can give comment that lacks intelligence and common sense."
Yesterday, the mufti defended the sermon about "adultery and theft", a recorded copy of which has been obtained and translated by The Australian.
Sheik Hilali said he only meant to refer to prostitutes as "meat" and not any scantily dressed woman with no hijab, despite him not mentioning the word prostitute during the 17-minute talk.
He told The Australian the message he intended to convey was: "If a woman who shows herself off, she is to blame ... but a man should be able to control himself". He said if a woman is "covered and respectful" she "demands respect from a man". "But when she is cheap, she throws herself at the man and cheapens herself."
Sheik Hilali also insisted his references to the Sydney gang rapes were to illustrate that Skaf was guilty and worthy of receiving such a harsh sentence.
Waleed Ali said Sheik Hilali was "normalising immoral sexual behaviour" by comparing women to meat and men to animals and entirely blaming women for being victims.
"It's basically saying that the immoral response of men to women who are not fully covered is as natural and as inevitable as the response of an animal tempted by food," he said.
"But (unlike animals) men are people who have moral responsibilities and the capability in engaging in moral action."]
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:47am)
Hilali's post-fact "explanation" explains nothing.
As for Ali's Islamic Council of Victoria - this is one of the councils which forms the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils and not only voted to make Hilali mufti but refused to sack him after those earlier outrages I listed.
Ms Hage-Ali says all the right things but is not a religous leader of any kind, and preaches at no mosque.
Let words for the press be followed by a significant message to the Muslim community itself - by sacking Hilali.
Andrew Bolt
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:10am)
Hilali is a product of Islam. A violent backward religion, the sooner Islamic immigration is ceased the better off we'll all be.
For a religion that only makes up around 1 1/2% of the population they cause a hell of a lot of trouble. Thanks Paul Keating for allowing this putrid man into Australia.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:53am)
Earlier in the week I heard an announcement on a radio station that a professor who is a muslim who agreed Mufti's should peach in English and tall Australian Mufti's should come from Australian muslims among other Australian values.
Maybe this is Hiali's way of responding and shifting the focus from what the professor said, certainly work with me as I cannot remember his name.
One thing that I cannot understand, is that in Dubai it is aceptable for women to wear swimwear, bikini's, have the faces showing etc. Why is it so offensive to muslims elsewhere to view the flesh of women?
Maybe the muslim cleric's like the almighty dollar it brings to Dubai?
Thu 26 Oct 06 (08:55am)
What other conclusion can one draw? Its is ideological not empirical to say all immigration is the same or all religions are the same.
Here is a perfect example to judge them by their fruits. If standards aren't being reached we have to be culturally, religiously and politically assertive. Or what message will we be sending?
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:01am)
If Hilali was speaking to a hall full of Muslim men when he made his disgusting comments, and none of those men walked out on him after the comments, then forgive me for thinking that Hilali knows his audience, and his religion. Hilali's history of making anti-Jewish, anti-West, and anti-Democratic statements to his congregation - with obsecenties demeaning to females thrown in for titillation - is well known to the general public; so it's certain that his Muslim congregation know fully well what they will get from the Hilali pulpit. Hilali is an honest Muslim, preaching honest Muslim hate to an audience that years for the old-time, slit-the-throats-of-all-infidels religion. They are a majority, not a "small minority" of Muslims. The majority of Australian Muslims are more discreet than Hilali, but few of them would walk out of a Hilali sermon, no matter how foul, violent or obscene his bloated, hate-filled urgings.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:02am)
Hi Andrew,
Pru Goward on Channel Nine this morning suggests that the Sheik not only be sacked, but be kicked out of the country. Whilst she (and I) are unaware of his visa requirements, if he has been quoted accurately, he seems to be skating very close to incitement to commit a crime. This is, I presume, a felony. I would be very interested in any comments from my fellow readers with a legal background.
If Islam wishes to be respected as a religion in this country, it cannot afford to have this bufoon as its leader. Imagine if the comments were made by George Pell.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:08am)
You make an interesting point Andrew. Is it the man or the religion?
Whilst the article also highlights the opposition to the comments made by the cleric from a couple of muslim spokespeople, the real test is to see if the cleric is removed from his exhalted position by those in the muslim community who may be in a position to do so.
If not, it indeed speaks volumes.......
To me, doing nothing is vicarious support as rhetoric and dialogue is cheap.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:10am)
Whatever happened to
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
From what I read in these blogs most are sick of political correctness. That's his non political correct opinion.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:11am)
Last time I left some meat covered with a tea towel, the material didn't stop my cat from getting to it.
The analogy doesn't work.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:12am)
You already know the answer to that question of course martin of adelaide, but many here don't. The message we are sending is: 'We are weak, we invite you to come here and inflict on us what you will'.
It was interesting to see Pru this morning on the Today show trying to show some spine saying Hilali should be pressured to leave, particularly when she was just saying that the tent is no worse than high heels. Maybe she's finally got thing figured out in her mind.
Thu 26 Oct 06 (09:13am)
Andrew i have not posted much since your new forum, because it has expanded greatly and I find myself caught up in reading for way too long, however I am compelled to comment on this latest sickening epidsode that is sad for our Muslim Aussie's whom seem only desperate to make all horrible sterotypes about them true, it is a shame that we as a society had not had the integrity to confront people directly who would say outragoues things like this, instead we have hid behind political correctness for to long, which has embolden exactly these sort of comments.
I would ask that those who practice and enjoy thier culture and religion in this country do so in the frame work of how would your country of origin like to have a western culture enforced on them, if you conclude that it would be the height of rudeness and very dishonorable to have western values thrust onto a muslim country, well then you may begin to understand what all the fuss is about, or do you already understand this and take us for fools ?

Melbourne - Geoff Ogilvy says he finds it "astonishing" PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley missed selection to the United States Presidents Cup team while Tiger Woods received special treatment.
Ogilvy, a key member of the International team to play the US in the biennial teams tournament at Royal Melbourne next month, said via a telephone conference on Thursday he was amazed US captain Fred Couples publicly assured Woods of a captain's pick weeks before they had to be made.
Couples chose the out-of-form former world No 1 Woods and Tour Championship winner Bill Haas as his two discretionary picks, while Bradley missed out despite winning his major title and the Byron Nelson Championship this year.
"You can't ever say that picking Tiger Woods is a bad selection, but the way he picked him ..." Ogilvy said.
"I don't agree with the way he picked him, announcing it months early, basically telling the guys who are on the fringe of the US team there's really only going to be one pick.
"I'm not going to stand up and say Tiger is a horrible pick, but I'm going to say it's very disappointing that Keegan Bradley doesn't get to play. That's where I'm at with it," he added.
Ogilvy said Royal Melbourne - the scene of the International team's only Presidents Cup victory in 1998 - would again provide a definite advantage to the Internationals.
"It's a pretty big advantage," he said.
"You wouldn't consider it one of the most difficult golf courses in the world anymore, but it's definitely a golf course that rewards local knowledge."

Lady Gaga Hosts As 'SNL' Spoofs Obama, Rob Ford, Kanye West
Lady Gaga was the guest host and the musical guest and for all we know maybe did the catering too on last night's episode of "Saturday Night Live."
Gaga sang "Gypsy" and "Do What U Want," both off of her just released album "ARTPOP."
The show also managed to throw in segments making fun of President Barack Obama's second term, crack-smoking Toronto mayor Rob Ford, and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Here's the spoof of Obama's second term:
"Waking Up With Kimye" made fun of Kardashian and West:
Here's Lady Gaga singing "Gypsy":
Here's Gaga with R. Kelly doing "Do What U Want":
And of course, "SNL" had to take on the troubled Ford:

LO loves the NUK pacifiers. He is 6 months old now, sitting up and doing well with his hands etc. A little while ago when he was playing n his pack n play, I look down because he started fussing. He had gotten the whole damn thing in his mouth and couldnt get it out! (since he's not quite an expert with the hands yet.) I threw it away immediately, but now I'm paranoid. He hadnt started using the older baby ones yet because he liked the smaler nipple. He uses them to fall asleep, so we're not looking to weaning yet. But wondering, are the older baby ones bigger along with the nip? Or what brand do you all use? Def changing to one thats wider over his mouth. Suggestions please!
OMG that scared me!! choking hazard???!

Are you using one for his age range? I have two NUK pacifiers but my daughter hasn't used them yet, she's only used MAM brand (she rejects all pacifiers though and prefers sucking on a cloth monkey toy of hers).
If he can fit the whole thing in his mouth, I think you should go for a bigger one.

I ended up going to the store and got avent because the shield is much bigger, just different nipple shape. (the nuk for his age looked slightly larger but couldnt really tell) wasnt sure hed go for that because hes been picky about shape etc. But it seemed to work last night. I'll try baby center today, they were closed last night.

Why Photoshopace?
Pablo Serrano offers expert image analysis using state of the art digital design tools including Photoshop CC, ACR, Bridge CC. Wacom Table, Capture One and special plugins to automate volume image production. Pablo is an Adobe Certified Photoshop CC/CS6 Expert and PhaseOne Certified Professional with onset, agency and remote work experience. In addition, Pablo offers Front-End Design and Development skills including HTM/CSS layout, WordPress site design and maintenance.
Problem Solving 1 The Art Director requested to recreate the background image from digital comp using Photoshop. The background image consisted of an exotic bird wing closeup shot. The solution to the problem was accomplished by acquiring three similar stock photography feathers. The feathers were rendered with the same light quality using photoshop. Each feather was placed on a separate layer and grouped into inner, middle and outers groups. The final composited image produced an excellent alternative to the original comp image.
Problem Solving 2 To satisfy the request from an Art Director. Pablo assembled a three computer network in the studio. The first computer was tethered to a PhaseOne digital back. During the photo shoot the RAW captures were tagged using Capture One at the first computer. A second digital tech at the second computer processed the tagged RAW captures and exported high resolution JPG files. The Art Director's laptop was networked to the second computer receiving the processed JPG edit files. This workflow facilitated the Art Director's request to work on the files as they were being produced.

The Greens Are Coming!
At first sight, the A-Z dictionary format of James Delingpole's latest effort, The Little Green Book of Eco-Fascism, seems surprising. But there is a sound reason for its structure. In his prior book, Watermelons, Delingpole cited George Orwell: "Who controls the language controls the culture. Who controls the culture wins the political argument. … [Orwell] explained that one of the most effective ways of suppressing heretical thought was to eliminate undesirable words or strip them of their meaning."
Eco-fascists have a talent for that sort of thing.

I'm trying to set up a members only site, and while the registration components of this module are excellent, and I really don't want to give them up, I'm having strange issues with trying to block access to pages.
I've got the plugin set so both pages and posts are blocked by default. However, if you go to a page that should be restricted, you see the restricted message and login form at the bottom of the page, underneath the full page content.
I've found that the only way to block pages is to insert the <!--more--> tag, so that everything else underneath is restricted, just like in posts. Isn't this supposed to happen by default when you select "block pages by default"?

In IE 8 when the WP-Cycle image change, for some reason it is enlarged and gets cut off within the rotator box.

By Mark Hurd - Originally Posted on LinkedIn
As I visit with big companies and organizations all over the world, it's clear that most CEOs realize they need to make some dramatic changes in how they recruit people, align and manage performance, make compensation decisions, and optimize talent.
What's not so clear to them is how they make that happen. While HR leaders and their teams are supposed to bring alive the cliché that "people are our most valuable asset," many CEOs are not yet leading the way in giving those HR leaders the tools, authority, and organizational opportunity they need to unlock the value of the organizations' talent pools.
Paradoxically, that lack of support from top executives is occurring even as 60 percent of CEOs surveyed by PwC say they're concerned about not having enough talent, and/or the right mix of talent. As a result, those CEOs say, that talent gap is presenting them with some significant challenges:
In many companies, a lack of CEO-level support for the HR organization and its mission keeps the HR team walled off from the ultimate sources of value in a company?revenue generation and customer engagement. This prevents HR executives from joining the rest of the company in using modern technology to gain new insights, make data-driven decisions, and engage with employees and customers more intimately and productively.
And that tricky situation will surely be compounded over the next few years as rapidly shifting demographics lead to a surge in millenials among your workforce: while millenials will comprise 36 percent of the workforce in 2014, they'll make up almost half of it?46 percent?by 2020, according to a study conducted by the business school at the University of North Carolina.
The impact these young digital natives will have on your company isn't limited to their sheer numbers. In fact, the biggest influence they'll have is their demand--not their request, mind you, but their requirement--that the technology they use at work provides them with the same degree of social immersion, accessibility, and collaboration as the technology they use in their personal lives.
So the simple truth is that unless your company is offering these sorts of tools--indeed, these sorts of "work styles"--then you'll be sending a clear signal to recruits and new employees that you're really not interested in hiring or keeping them.
For those companies that are willing to embrace the new social and mobile imperatives, you'll find that modern HCM systems will improve employee engagement, productivity, and collaboration across the organization. By having social and mobile capabilities embedded in the key context of HR processes--from social sourcing, performance, and learning goal-setting and career management--these millennial-friendly companies will create engaging, two-way environments that don't just allow but help people connect with each other and build mutually beneficial work relationships.
These are significant changes, and they require full support from the very top of the company. CEOs have to take ownership of this issue to ensure the ongoing viability of their companies. Otherwise:
Let me offer a before-and-after example.
Let's say Company XYZ has 100,000 employees, with annual compensation and benefits costing about $10 billion. At the annual budget meeting, everyone turns to the head of HR as the CEO asks, "What's our plan for raises for next year?"
The HR leader squirms and looks a bit uncomfortable and says, "Our consultant says we should give 4 percent raises across the board."
The CEO asks, "Why 4 percent?"
"Uh, well, because that's what the consultant recommended, and we've used this consultant for the past five years."
"I get that," says the CEO, "but why 4 percent?"
And the head of HR swallows hard and says, "Because the consultant thinks 5 percent is too high and 3 percent is too low."
Believe me, even if that conversation seems a bit silly, it's pretty darn close to what's happening within a lot of companies. And what they need to understand is that the HR leader doesn't want to give such a vague answer?rather, the HR leader simply lacks the business insights and data-driven analysis to offer a more precise and relevant response.
Remember, in most big companies, compensation and benefits are the single biggest expense in the entire cost structure--by far! For company XYZ, we said its compensation costs are about $10 billion--so the 4 percent raise would equate to a new cost to the company of $400 million. That's a significant cost to the business. Yet, the HR leader doesn't have the modern technology necessary to make an insightful and business-driven decision on whether or not that level of spend is correct or will have the desired outcome on the business!
In the "after" scenario, an HR leader equipped with a modern HCM system could have answered that question about raises very differently by saying, "Let's step back one second and look at the overall situation that will eventually include what type of raise pool we want for next year."
"Our attrition rate for the past 18 months has been 10 percent, which means we had to replace 10,000 people this year. But because of our rapid growth, we also had to hire an additional 4,000 people to handle that growth and sustain our momentum. So this year, we had to add 14,000 new people."
"And I'm pleased to be able to tell you that with our new recruitment and onboarding system, we were able to bring on 14,000 terrific new people--more on that in a moment--and with our new talent management system, we were able to create more than 1,500 growth opportunities for our brightest people. All in one year."
"On top of that, our performance management system tells us that those 14,000 new employees are not only costing us less than average?they come in at a cumulative 93 percent of midpoint?but more than two-thirds of them are performing in the top 20 percent quintile. We're bringing in better performers while spending less money?and because of that, I'd like to recommend that we completely rethink our old concepts of 'annual raises' and use our data-driven analytics to find a better way."
Hey, it sounds great--but that type of insight simply will not come to pass if HR leaders are left behind with an old, brittle, and incompatible hodgepodge of inflexible systems that make it impossible for the HR to deliver quantitative insights, forward-looking analyses, and revenue-driving decisions.
Those insights are absolutely essential for companies to be able to unleash the full potential of their people and begin to deliver employee experiences that parallel the terrific new customer experiences that today's business environment demands: socially driven, optimized for mobile, and seamlessly consistent across smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
As an example of great business leadership and HCM strategy, let me mention what our friends at British Telecom (BT) are doing. One of the world leaders in communications services and solutions, BT has just decided to install a full suite of Oracle HCM Cloud applications to support the company's growth agenda and help deliver its business strategy to more than 87,000 employees in 170 countries.
BT believes that its new HCM applications--with everything from recruiting and talent management to workforce-deployment optimization--will help the company increase productivity, accelerate business performance, and empower its people to innovate, grow, and delight customers.
Yes, those are lofty ambitions, but they're also essential in today's consumer-driven global marketplace where social-mobile lifestyles are disrupting not only how people shop and consume, but also their decisions about where they'll work and why they'll work there.
So it's up to the CEO to drive HR transformation and help HR leaders become business-centric and data-driven enablers of revenue, innovation, and superb employee experiences.

Getting Started with Salt Stack-the Other Configuration Management System Built with Python
Minion Configuration
For this tutorial, I cover issuing salt-master and salt-minion commands on the same machine. If you are configuring multiple machines, choose one to be the master, and all the others will be minions. The choice of master or minion is yours, and there are many reasons to configure one machine as the master. I explain how to set one as a master and the other(s) as minions next.
Salt's configuration files are located in /etc/salt. By default, these files are named minion and master. If you've installed the salt-master and salt-minion on the same machine, you will see two respective files, master and minion.
You first need to tell your minion how to locate and communicate with your master. Even though you are running both on the same server, you still need to tell your minion where your master is.
Using your favorite text editor, open the minion file.
Uncomment the line
# master: saltby removing the
#and replacing
saltwith the your master's IP address. It now should look like this:
master: your.ip.address.here. (If you're doing this locally on the same machine, you can add 127.0.0.1.)
Give your minion a nickname. Locate the line
#id:, and again remove the
#and add a name
id: 1st-Salt-Minion. (This name can be anything you want.)
Restart your minion using
sudo salt-minion -din order for it to read the new configuration settings. The
-dflag dæmonizes the process and starts the minion in the background, so you still can access your command-line to issue more commands.
Accept Your Minion's Keys
Now that your minion knows where your master is, it's time for them to authenticate one another. Salt uses public key encryption to secure the communication between master and minions. You need to notify the master and minion that they can trust each other by accepting the minion's keys on the master.
Accept your minion's keys using the
salt-key command. Salt automatically
takes care of generating these keys for you, so you simply need to accept the
minion(s) you want.
salt-key -Lto get a list of all pending, accepted and rejected keys.
You should see an unaccepted key for
1st-Salt-Minion(or whatever ID you chose for your minion).
Accept this key using
sudo salt-key -a 1st-Salt-Minion.
Test Communications
Now that you have a salt-master and a salt-minion, and the minion and master
trust one another, you can check the connection by issuing a test ping command
from the master. This will return "True" if your master can communicate with your
salt '*' test.ping, and it should return:
>{1st-Salt-Minion: True}
Note that the wild-card
'*' targets every minion, and as
you have only one,
this is basically moot (it's just faster than typing
'1st-Salt-Minion' test.ping).
If you receive a "True" response back from your minion, you have installed Salt Stack successfully and configured your master and minion to communicate properly.
If you don't, you may want to restart your master and minion without the
(dæmon) flag, so you can observe the output. For more information, see the
Salt documentation at http://docs.saltstack.org/en/latest/topics/configuration.html.
The Salt command syntax involves the command, the target(s) and the action. So,
for this example,
'*' targets everything (it's a wild
card), and
test.ping is the
You can now execute any available command on any connected and authenticated minion. Important note: these commands must be available on the targeted minion in order to execute them. For instance, a command like:
sudo salt '*' cmd.run "service apache2 restart"
would work only for a distribution that calls the Apache Web server apache2 and that has the Apache Web server installed. For others, you would need to issue the command:
sudo salt '*' cmd.run "service httpd restart"
Some other examples might include querying the amount of time your servers have been running. You can do that with:
sudo salt '*' cmd.run "uptime"
If you had, for example, Apache Bench installed on a master but not on a minion, the command:
sudo salt '*' cmd.run "ab -n 10 -c 2 http://www.google.com:80/index.html"
would fail if you tried to execute it on a minion, since Apache Bench isn't installed on the minion.
The possibilities here are practically limitless. You can reboot all of your machines at once, update system software and check your machines' health from one terminal instead of logging in to each machine and issuing these commands independently.
You also can target specific groups, based upon criteria that you select. See
-G flag documentation at http://saltstack.org for more options.
Very rarely should you ever need to log in to a minion again. All configuration and execution can be handled remotely, quickly and simultaneously.
Now that you've installed Salt and can execute remote commands, why stop there? The second part of Salt's power comes from the configuration management tools included with Salt.

Doubts related to remote server configuration using Salt
You've mentioned that system package manager should be available with the package that we are trying to install. Is there any way to perform tasks like source compiling as we do while accessing the machine remotely via SSH. And thank you very much for the fantastic Blog.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Expectant management is the close monitoring of a pregnancy for complications. It may involve some bed rest at home or in the hospital. Being on expectant management may mean you are advised to stop working, reduce your activity level, or possibly spend a lot of time resting (partial bed rest).
There is no evidence that long-term bed rest lowers the risk of preterm delivery.1 Studies have shown that strict bed rest for 3 days or more may raise your risk of getting a blood clot in the legs or lungs.2 Strict bed rest is no longer used to prevent preterm labor. But your doctor may recommend expectant management with some bed rest (partial bed rest).
If you are prescribed partial bed rest
If your doctor or nurse-midwife suggests expectant management for preventing preterm labor, discuss the benefits and risks in light of your condition.
When you are resting or sleeping during late pregnancy, try to lie on your side. This is thought to improve blood flow to the uterus and fetus(es).
Dehydration can trigger contractions, so be sure to drink plenty of fluids each day.
When you are lying down, remember to flex your feet, stretch, and move your legs as much as possible.

Master Yi/SkinsTrivia
< Master Yi
2,709pages on

|Skins & Trivia
- Development
- Master Yi was designed by Ezreal.
- Master Yi is voiced by Micha Berman, who also voices Fiddlesticks.
- Yi (易) means "easiness", "change" or "divination" in Chinese.
- His name in the Chinese servers is written as 易 大师 in Simplified Chinese, and 易 大師 in Traditional Chinese/Japanese. Pronounced in Chinese would be Yì Dàshī ("yee da-shuh"), while in on'yomi, it would be I Daishi ("ee die-she"). [1]
- Master Yi's name is a pun on the word "mastery".
- "Wuju" is a reference to two of the developers at Riot Games. Namely, Andy Woo and Jeff Jew.
- "Wuju", or "Wuji/Mukyoku" (無極 lit. Extremeless/Apolar), is the grey field a taijitsu (the yin-yang symbol) is traditionally shown on, symbolizing "nothingness". It also nods to an old sword style honed for art in current times. In the Chinese servers, it is written as "Wuji/Mukyou" (无极) in Simplified Chinese.
- In the Chinese servers, his Wuju Style's name in Simplified Chinese is written as 无极剑道, in Traditional Chinese as 無極劍道, and in Japanese as 無極剣道. Pronounced in Chinese is Wújí Jiàndào and in Japanese is Mukyoku Kendou, which both literally mean "Extremeless Sword Path"; with "kendo" being a traditional Japanese term for swordsmanship and fencing sports in Japan, hinting that Wuju is a traditional sword style, despite the fact that his pupil Wukong uses a staff for the art.
- It bears similarity to "Wushu", the collective name of Chinese martial arts, mostly known as Kung-fu in western countries.
- "Wuju", or "Wuji/Mukyoku" (無極 lit. Extremeless/Apolar), is the grey field a taijitsu (the yin-yang symbol) is traditionally shown on, symbolizing "nothingness". It also nods to an old sword style honed for art in current times. In the Chinese servers, it is written as "Wuji/Mukyou" (无极) in Simplified Chinese.
- General
- Uniquely, Master Yi's dance speed increases with his movement speed.
- Master Yi was one of the champions chosen for the Ionian pool available during the Ionia vs. Noxus match. However, he was not one of the selected champions.
- The goggles Master Yi wears (known as the Seven Lenses of Insight) seem to be an over-exaggeration of trifocals goggles with night vision, and according to his background, provide a similar effect, allowing him to "see across a wider range of the spectrum".
- His goggles can also be seen in the preview video for the Mac version of League of Legends.
- In addition, his sword can also be seen in a later part of the video.
- His costume and the goggles bring strong resemble to Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell game franchise.
- His goggles can also be seen in the preview video for the Mac version of League of Legends.
- Master Yi (sharing with Pantheon) is the Champion with the highest Base Movement Speed in the game, being 355. As of the rework, he also has three different running animations.
- Master Yi's reworked dance is a reference to Dee Dee's dance from the Cartoon Network's series Dexter's Laboratory, or as a more closer nod to his high movement speed gameplay style, the iconic "Running Man" dance. A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
- Master Yi's sword has rings on the back edge resembling an ancient Chinese Dāo variant [2][3] (a curved Chinese blade that predates the katana's creation). He uses both hands to hold it, akin to the posture of Zhǎn Mǎ Dāo [4] or Katana [5] wielders.
- The sword also levitates in front of Yi during his Meditate ever since the visual update.
- His age's implication from his previous lores, as well as his ultimate, Highlander, are possible references to the film Highlander, where many of the characters are immortal and are easily hundreds of years old.
- The mechanics of his ultimate also nod to "the quickening" effect. In Highlander, if an immortal killed another immortal through decapitation, they would gain their knowledge after an electrical and mostly violent surge. Similarly, upon a kill or an assist, Yi's cooldowns are refreshed as an explosion effect of energy/ki emanates off him (in a manner similar to fireworks), though it is shown as a small flash emanating from his body ever since his rework.
- Also to nod to the immortals of Highlander is the Chinese name of his ultimate, which is Gāoyuán Xiětǒng (高原血统 in Simplified Chinese, 高原血統 in Traditional Chinese). In Japanese the name is pronounced as Kougen Kettou, both translations literally meaning "Plateau Lineage".
- A fan joke video give birth to a popular troll build called Dunkmaster Yi, focusing on going really fast via building duplicates of the item with a , and the catchphrase "get dunked!".
- In terms of some of Yi's artworks (and his initial visual model) and his visual model update, he appears to be left-handed and/or ambidextrous, showing a unique touch on his style of swordplay.
- Whenever Yi starts a match/game, he will always repeat his outward slashing animation twice in a row upon the first target he hits with his first two basic attacks.
- Quotes
- He shares a quote with Wukong: "Wuju Style".
- He also shares a similar quote: "I will show you the path".
- His new joke in his rework "The goggles? Just for reading!" references the fact that his goggles provide no actual effect in his gameplay.[6]
- One of Yi's new taunts "I will take an eye....as if I don't have enough already." also jokes around with the amount of lenses his goggles have.
- Master Yi's joke "The key to immortality? Not dying." hints to his beta lore noting at his real age, in which he is implied to be over 1000 years old despite physically being no more than 30. It is unknown if this is still the case with his current lore.
- On the Brazilian server, Master Yi has a joke that is a reference to Woody Woodpecker.
- Skins
- His normal skin along with his said Assassin skin has two swordboots with one on each armored leg, though they have very little if not no use at all. His movement animations pre-rework shows that they seem to directly affect his running style.
- Yasuo makes a reference to the sword boots portion of the Dunkmaster Yi video for one of his taunts against Yi.
- As of his rework/visual update, in all his skins, Master Yi runs in a more normal fashion like in other material, and in a more ninja-like manner if he undergoes a form of high speed boost.
- This skin, Golden Alistar and White Mage Veigar are the only skins priced at 390 , making them the cheapest skins, excluding sale prices and free/promotional skins.
- It was also initially in previous versions a mere black re-color of his default skin, though it can be implied that the dark tone of the skin is meant for covert blending/camouflage, hence the name of the skin.
- The reworked of this skin instead features a more ninja-like theme, such as a face mask, a hoodie, a more katana-like sword via the design of its hilt, and two kunai in the place of Yi's wakizashi on his boots.
- In the Chinese servers, the skin is instead called Ànyǐng Yì/An'ei I (暗影易, lit. Dark Shadow Yi).
- This skin bares a lot of references to the Star Wars franchise.
- It is a direct reference to the Jedi Knights of the Star Wars franchise.
- After his visual upgrade in 2013, Chosen Master Yi's lightsaber causes a humming sound when attacking.
- This skin's lightsaber changes colors based upon Wuju Style's current state: blue (normal), green (passive), red (active). This is similar to the Jedi Knight games which had blue, yellow, and red lightsaber stances; each altered the speed and power of attacks. However, this may as well be a mere tribute to the overall different lightsaber colors in the franchise.
- This skin went on a discount, alongside the release of Forsaken Jayce, on May 4, 2015. This day is celebrated by fans of the series as Star Wars Day, also known as "May the fourth be with you".
- Its discounted price was at 54%, further referencing the fan-made day.
- He shares this theme with Jayce (since both are "Force user" themed skins).
- The skin's name could be a reference to the 'Chosen One', an individual in the Star Wars canon prophesied to "bring balance to the Force".
- In this regard, the name could also be a kind of double entendre: "Yi", written without tones, could be the pinyin for the Mandarin Chinese word for 'one', hence 'Chosen Yi' could be calqued to 'Chosen One'.
- It is probably Master Yi's outfit while he is at his usual home, Ionia, or the outfit he wears in some special occasions much like Blood Moon Akali or Blood Moon Shen.
- Additionally, Irelia's classic skin has the same design and color with his. Also the weapons they hold have the same schematics, which concludes their origins from Ionia.
- The Crest of Ionia can be seen on his robes.
- His clothing bears many resemblances with the Predator species from the Predator and Alien vs Predator franchises.
- The skin's helmet and goggles also look very similar to the game Shinobi's main character Hotsuma, who would dash to his enemy similar to Master Yi's Alpha Strike.
- In his Chinese artwork, there is the shadowy form of Cho'Gath behind him, who vaguely resembles the Aliens.
- His sword pre-work also longer than the dao in his other skins, though with no effect on his auto attack range. The blade is also flipped to the other side in his idle stance, thus causing Yi during his dance, laugh and death to hold it with blade flipped the other way with his right hand (all other skins barring Chosen would show the opposite). This was notably fixed in his rework with the blade being a more proper size in relevance to Yi's other skins, and having it being held properly.
- Another awkward quirk with this skin during pre-work was the animation used for Alpha Strike. Yi would perform his two basic attack animations in a sped-up successive fashion if a model-viewer was shown to view the animation, as opposed to having the same dashing animation like with all the other skins. It was also shown in his afterimage dashing animation, where he is instead shown in a slow-motion version of one of his auto attack animations, as opposed to holding the blade by his left while pointing/leaning it forward (again, like with the other skins). This was eventually fixed to be in line with his other skins in the rework.
- He shares this theme with Akali, Nidalee, Rengar and Caitlyn.
- The concept of PROJECT: Yi was the brainchild of Marco "Wendigo" Silva, an artist from the São Paulo Riot Games office. Nicknamed "Cyber Yi", its thematic was later incorporated into the PROJECT skin line during PROJECT: Yasuo's development.
- The theme behind Master Yi's PROJECT skin is one of the possible outcomes for Runeterra. In this alternate, apocalyptic future, Master Yi is part of the PROJECT Initiative, where members are augmented with cybernetics and other futuristic technology.
- Unlike the other PROJECT skins, all of Yi's quotes, animations and idle stance are different from his previous skins. This is also the only PROJECT skin to have interactions via taunts with other PROJECT champions, item-based quotes and quotes for the game start.
- Through this, PROJECT: Yi can also taunt another Yi player, where he makes a nod to his "goggles" gag. This makes Master Yi the third champion to have a quote interaction with himself; the first being Draven and second being Trundle.
- During his Highlander, Master Yi's face beneath the mask is revealed for the duration and his quotes have a non-robotic echo. This also applies to his death animation; both cases show Yi to have another mask of four lens over his left eye and one over his right.
- There are versions of his game starting quotes rendered by his Highlander coded in the game. The only way to achieve these quotes since he cannot learn his ultimate until Level 6 is to have at least one point in Highlander, exit the game through various means, reenter the game, use Highlander and then make a movement command.
- His posture in his PROJECT splash-art is very similar with the posture in his classic splash-art.
- On his promo page, he can be seen equipped with several enhancements:
- Regenerative Energy Vortex, a matrix system which aids and prevents the unit from taking damage with nano-regeneration.
- Monarch SR "Living Flame" Armor, made of carbon-nano fibers, the armor protects the wearer from hostile damage.
- Compared to the other PROJECT skin champions, Master Yi's is the only one who's armor will completely fade away. This happens when he activates Highlander (where cybernetic panels of energy coat him in his armor's place) and during his death animation. Similar to his face's case, his body is shown to be fully outfitted with cybernetic implants, revealing him to be an actual cyborg almost similar to and/or unlike the other PROJECT champions.
- Hyperlight "Alpha" Blade, the blade is made out of a 098X Fusion Edge, and blade casing. 098X Fusion Edge Hyperlight core provides precision balance and lossless energy distribution. "Alpha" fusion blade highly compatible with multi-target combat. Black RR "Solid Smoke" Blade Casing is forged out of 2250R-100 Aero-Carbon compound that provides lightweight fitting for 098X Fusion Edge. "Solid smoke" material adaptable to unique molecular states.
- The blade's name is a reference to Master Yi's ability, Alpha Strike. Its description also states that the blade is perfect for multi-target combat, just like the ability's effect of hitting multiple targets.
- The blade turns into a double-ended weapon (as it protrudes another blade from out of its pommel) whenever Yi activates Highlander. All of his attacking animations remain the same despite this.
- Master Yi's new joke is an alternate play on his original goggle joke, which instead jokes about how many blades his weapon can protrude.
- The blade during his dance emote and Meditate channeling (like with the previous skins) will levitate in midair behind Yi.
- The double edges of the weapon could be another reference to the "pro as heck guide to master yi" video, where the item Zeal is called "the doublesword" by the creator.
- Neural Sensory Amplifier, this system enhances damage effectiveness of the Hyperlight Alpha Blade.
- Unknown, coded as Highlander.
- Unlike his other skins, activating Highlander will give him a different idle stance for the duration (Yi crouches low to the ground with his blade lowered behind him). His running animation will always be his sped-up version no matter his movement speed amount.
- His description is as followed: "TRACE LOST".
- His fully decrypted description is a voice clip: "My name... is Yi.".
- His dance is a reference to a dance featured in a music video titled "HAVE A NICE DAY" by Japanese band WORLD ORDER. Side by side comparison can be seen here.
- This skin may be inspired by Plan-1056 Codarl mecha from Full Metal Panic! anime series. They share not only the visual traits but also the fighting styles as "The preferred armament of choice of Codarl pilots are melee weapons since the force of the Lambda Driver makes conventional long range weapons obsolete."
- The skin may be inspired by the character Zer0, from the Borderlands Series. They share a similar face as well as the assassin theme.
- He also shares a common figure of XLR8 from the Ben 10 series.
- On the 2016 promo page, if you type in "HARMONY", a quote will pop-up: 12- "A perfect anomaly."
- He shares this theme with PROJECT: Ashe [ | , PROJECT: Ekko [ | , PROJECT: Fiora Fiora [ | , PROJECT: Katarina [ | , PROJECT: Leona [ | , PROJECT: Lucian [ | , PROJECT: Yasuo [ | , and PROJECT: Zed [ | .
- His goggles were made and given to him by Heimerdinger.
- Master Yi's entire kinfolk were killed with chemical inventions created by Singed.
- He seeks the end of Noxus' predations.
- Master Yi often spends his time meditating and training near the Great Barrier, south of the Institute of War.
- Master Yi tutored Wukong in the art of Wuju. They seem to share similar quotes, carry playstyles and ability ratios.
