What is an 'Employer-Sponsored Plan'
An employer-sponsored plan is a type of benefit plan that an employer offers for the benefit of his/her employees at no or a relatively low cost to the employees. If employees participate in the plan, they will benefit from its low-cost method of obtaining discounted services. The benefit to the employer is that initiating these plans usually has some tax-deductible component, and sponsoring benefits is generally a good method of retaining valuable employees.
BREAKING DOWN 'Employer-Sponsored Plan'
Different classes of employer-sponsor plans include retirement saving plans and group healthcare plans.
Employer-sponsored retirement savings plans are useful for the employees because it presents them with an automatic savings device, provides tax breaks and, in some cases, offers free money in terms of employers matching the employee's contributions. Some examples of retirement employer-sponsored savings plans are 401(k)s and the some forms of IRAs.
Group healthcare plans are often seen as a premium for employees due to the rising cost of healthcare services.

Every Thursday on the beautiful Siesta Key public beach (near where the drum circle happens) Outward Spiral will be hosting Hoop Dance classes.
The class will last for one hour. Directly after the sunset we will end the class with a jam. For at least one song there will be no conversations.. only movement. You can communicate with one another through dance, eye contact, body language.. just no spoken words.
You are welcome to continue this practice for more than one song. I just ask at least one song for verbal silence. This will help set in the movements you've learned into your "Flow" and incorporate it into the music and dance.
((In case of rain we will meet under the pavilion. Only if it is a bad thunderstorm with heavy rain and high winds will the class be cancelled.)) If you are concerned about whether or not class is happening you can contact me or look to the Facebook page for announcements.
We are keeping this class's fee as "open pricing". Please feel free to pay as generously as you can.*
Outward Spiral will provide hoops for new Hoopers to use. If you have your own hoop please bring it along. If you need a hoop you can also purchase one from Bonnie on OutwardSpiral.net or at an arranged time
This is a "Mixed Level" class. This means that we will cover the basics for people who have no experience with hoop dance and offer more difficult variations for those who have been hooping for a while. There will be something for all skill sets.
Come join us on the white sands of Siesta Key beach and enjoy the majesty of the sunset while learning something new, meeting some amazing people, and burning those unwanted calories. ♥
Please contact Bonnie Brown of Outward Spiral, by clicking on the link provided, with any questions or concerns. Please help us spread the word. The more the merrier. Thank you.
*Please feel free to pay as generously as you can.
There is a suggested min. payment of $10 for those that need a point of reference.
If you can afford and feel that the experience was worth more, then pay as generously as you like.
If you cannot afford the suggested minimum amount, then simply pay what you can, or pay when you do have the money. The choice is yours. There will be no judgements made. Please feel free to pay what you feel the experience was worth to you even if that differs from time to time. ♥

Sometimes a person will have a reaction to an insect sting that is
more than the normal sting reaction but may not be an allergic reaction.
Less commonly, bites from certain insects—such as deerflies,
horseflies, kissing bugs, bedbugs, and mosquitoes—can cause allergic reactions. But the reaction from bites is usually more mild than from stings.

The more I read, the worse it gets. Below is lifted from ABCnews.com.
– on Oct. 27, Congressman Eric Cantor notifies the FBI.
– on Oct 31, the information about then CIA Director Petraeus finally gets relayed to FBI Director Mueller? It took 4 days? why 4 days? because of Hurricane Sandy? (see below)
That is absurd (maybe even a lie?) I don't believe the Director of the FBI doesn't have a phone or could not be reached for 4 days because of Hurricane Sandy unless he was out in a Coast Guard boat saving lives.

Husky Men's Hockey Completes Sweep of MSU
The SCSU men's hockey team completed a sweep of Minnesota State Mankato with a 5-1 win Saturday night at the NHEC in St. Cloud. Junior Cory Thorson led the way for the Huskies with a pair of goals in the win.
The Huskies were coming off of a 5-1 win on Friday night, and both teams were scoreless after a penalty-marred first period.
Thorson broke the stalemate at the 2:44 mark of the second period with his second goal of the season on a wrist shot from the high slot. Assists on the goal were credited to Jarrod Rabey and Ethan Prow.
SCSU used a MSU penalty just ten seconds into the third to build momentum and ultimately blow the game open. Nic Dowd scored on a rebound just 27 seconds into the final trimester to give SCSU a 2-0 lead. Nick Jensen and Andrew Prochno were given assists on Dowd's fourth goal of the season and third of the weekend. The tally turned out to be the game-winner, Dowd's second of the season.
Just over 30 seconds later, Huskies captain Drew LeBlanc put home his third goal of the season, assisted by Kalle Kossila to give St. Cloud State the 3-0 lead.
Thorson scored his second goal of the game on a Husky power play at 14:24 of the third from Jensen and Dowd for a commanding four goal lead at 4-0.
SCSU sealed the game with a Kossila power play goal at 14:24 from Jimmy Murray and Taylor Johnson for the 5-0 lead.
The Mavs' Evan Mosey spoiled Huskies goaltender Ryan Faragher's shutout bid with under a minute remaining in the third period. The sophomore made 34 saves in the game to earn his third win of the season.
The Huskies are on the road next weekend for a series with George Gwozdecky's Denver Pioneers. Follow KVSCHockey on Twitter for live updates throughout the games.

FLAGLER BEACH, Fla. (AP) - The box marked "grenades" on the side that washed ashore in Volusia County is now at Patrick Air Force Base for examination.
A bomb squad ended up finding 18 explosive shells inside the box Monday night. No one was injured.
The bomb squad from Patrick Air Force Base was called in and determined that the grenades were safe to move. The shells will be destroyed at the base.
Officials closed State Road A-1-A in Flagler Beach and evacuated five homes and two businesses after the discovery.

I like this among all three. By the way, i don't have strong attachment to this campaign. just so so.
but i like the feeling of "thinness"
http://jennywhx.blogspot.com jwhx:Visionary
Sex is like that???? i prefer not. Imagine it now & see what u get? Wasted.
Mais Oui... Je regarde le belle French Kiss!!!
And VinchiFish, of course sex is not like this. It's an illustration. And in my opinion, a good one, because in it's essence, sex is an exchange of vibrational energy. Wanna get down to scientific? Bring it on... This is a good ad, in my opinion!
It looks like art, maybe it's art. Well! That's why I like this work.

Is Pinboard translated into other languages or is this on the roadmap?
Is there a not too complicated way, to translate at least such things as 404 errors messages?
Thanks for your help!
PS: I'm a wordpress beginner.
Is Pinboard translated into other languages or is this on the roadmap?
Is there a not too complicated way, to translate at least such things as 404 errors messages?
Thanks for your help!
PS: I'm a wordpress beginner.
Which Pinboard theme are you talking about?
If you're using a paid/premium theme; it's best to go to the site where you got the paid/premium theme for support. These forums are for help with free themes and themes released by WordPress/Automattic.
Hello Songdogtech,
I am confused by your answer.
As far as I can see, I have posted my question to the support forum of the free WordPress theme called "Pinboard", haven't I?
Besides, the author of the Pinboard theme has problems with his own forum, and explicitly advised me to come here.
If I got something wrong, please kindly advise where the related forum is.
I have some user-contributed translations that may be included in the next version. Please tell me which language you need it in and I will see if I have it.
If you're looking to translate the theme yourself, see this article.
There are several commercial themes also called Pinboard. There was no clear indication what Pinboard theme you are using.
If you're using the free version posted in wordpress.org/extend/themes, you're in the right place.
But if the theme doesn't currently support translations, you need to do one yourself: http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers
@songdogtech, I believe it is implied that a thread tagged with a theme in the repo is referring to it, that's how the system works, right? Also, the theme is translation-ready, you could have checked before posting, otherwise you just add confusion to the problem.
@Daniel: @AdieuArcheB says he's a "wordpress beginner," and a post tagged with a theme name doesn't mean the user is on the same page re: free or a commercial theme with the same name. I've seen it many times. And, the link I posted covers the same gound as your link. So I'm not adding confusion, I'm clarifying.
I've seen it many times.
Ditto. Recently dealt with a poster who was outraged that a WPORG theme had the same name as his commercial theme. And posted in the WPORG's theme forum citing a bug!
@Daniel, I can help you to translaste Pinboard to Spanish (Spain).
Hello Daniel,
Sorry to come back to this topic only now, but I didn't tick the notification box as I realise now. (This is just to confirm songdogtech that beginners sometimes do silly things. ;) ).
I need German and French. And I'd be happy to help with translation.
Regarding the other topic, I would like to offer my user point of view.
@songdogtech: I really appreciate the help of everyone, so these comments are really intended to make the system better. The location where I posted my initial post (http://wordpress.org/support/theme/pinboard) was from my user's point of view clearly labelled as the forum for the free theme, as I navigated there from the theme's Description page. As such, I think that it would have been a good idea to assume that I was referring to this theme and provide an answer to my question. In a second step, it would certainly have been appropriate to point out the possible confusion with other themes of the same name. But your answer sounded to me like "You are definitely in the wrong place." Hence my confusion.
If http://wordpress.org/support/theme/pinboard is not a unique URL then it might be a good idea to make the URL structure clearer. Maybe you as a moderator can transmit this user feedback to the appropriate people.
Anyway I thank everybody who contributed to answering my question.
Best wishes
@AdieuArcheB: why are you beating a dead horse? Look at the URL in your browser; it says wordpress.org/support/topic/international-version?replies=10 not wordpress.org/support/theme/pinboard There are two different places for posts to appear; I don't chase down posts in individual theme/plugin post listings, I (and 98% of other users) see them all at once.
In a second step, it would certainly have been appropriate to point out the possible confusion with other themes of the same name.
As Esmi pointed out: try http://www.google.com/search?q=pinboard+theme+wordpress How many themes do you see called "Pinboard" for WordPress?
Which Pinboard theme are you talking about?
I'm not telling you you're in the wrong place; I'm asking.

Bartow Woman Dies in 2-Vehicle Accident on S.R. 60
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 8:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 11:51 a.m.
MULBERRY | A 24-year-old Bartow woman was killed Saturday evening in a traffic accident on State Road 60 in Mulberry, officials said.
Yati S. Patel of 1520 Harbor Way died as a result of the 5:30 p.m. accident at S.R. 60 and Kid Ellis Road, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Patel had just dropped family members off at the Mulberry Inn and Suites when she stopped her 2007 Toyota Yaris at the flashing light at the intersection and then entered the westbound lanes of S.R. 60, the Sheriff's Office said.
John W. Williams, 30, of 930 Childs Ave., Bartow, told deputies he was unable to stop his 1994 Burgandy Blazer in time when he saw the Yaris cross his path. and the front of his vehicle hit the passenger side of Patel's Yaris.
Patel died at the scene, officials said. Williams was taken to Bartow Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
There was no immediate evidence of impairment on the part of either driver, and no charges are currently anticipated, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
Both drivers were wearing seat belts, the Sheriff's Office said.
The accident investigation reduced traffic to one lane in each direction on S.R. 60 for about four hours, officials said.

"I ordered these for my rehearsal dinner for my wedding and they turned out great. They arrived earlier than what I was originally told and they looked exactly like the website showed."
"I was under a time crunch, so I literally just used one of the templates available, I would normally change things, colors, etc. but did not have time. My order came quickly, and I was completely satisfied with the quality and design of my invitation. Very easy and effortless process!"
"This design was just perfect for our dinner. It was pretty and elegant, but casual, and it allowed enough space for all the wording we needed, without looking crowded. I was looking for something that highlighted the couple's names, rather than the dinner itself. We used the space on the back of the postcard for listing the entree options for guests to choose from."
"I was thrilled with the card stock and the overall invitation! The service was great and the delivery was better than stated. An overall perfect order. Thank you!"
"First time customer and I couldn't be more pleased with the rehearsal dinner invitations I ordered. The wide selection of designs, ease of ordering, quality paper, and quick delivery. I hope they will expand to have personalized products, other than bridal or invitations, such as business/personal stationery. A pleasure doing business with Wedding Paper Divas and will highly recommend to friends and family."

All My Sons Wealth Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue.
Quote #4
Keller: I don't know, once upon a time I used to think that when I got money again I would have a maid and my wife would take it easy. Now I got money, and I got a maid, and my wife is workin' for the maid. (1.245)
Keller is a self-made man and is proud of all his financial success.
Quote #5
Keller: Kid, walkin' down the street that day I was guilty as hell. Except I wasn't, and there was a court paper in my pocket to prove I wasn't, I and I walked… past… the porches. Result? Fourteen months later I had one of the best shops in the state again, a respected man again; bigger than ever. (1.446)
What matters to Keller is that he eventually restored his business to prosperity. Material success is the ultimate goal.
Quote #6
Ann: And the money, there's nothing wrong in your money. Your father put hundreds of planes in the air, you should be proud. A man should be paid for that…
Chris: Oh Annie, Annie… I'm going to make a fortune for you! (1.545)
Chris just called his money "loot" from the war. But with Ann's blessing he quickly comes around to a perspective that more closely resembles his father's.

As of March 2010 I am rehauling the rules. You can ignore everything in hard-to-see blue.
Remember to use common sense (read the common sense rules in NewsHighlights if you don't have any). You should already know not to godmode, powergame, have c-sex, etc.
1. You can be one of a handful of species. The main species of the original DN rp are: Human, Vampire, Werewolf, or Gargoyle. You can also be Kindred (Were-Other), Zombies, Ghouls, Shadows, Orcs, and Ogres. Humans can become Vampires, Werewolves, zombies, and ghouls.
Description of the individual species below this post. Post a profile of your character in the character profile thread.
2. No Magic - such as no fireballs, timetravel, weapons made from the gut of a star you summoned, etc. Vampire and such powers must be specified in profile. You can have magic. Go wild, so long as you don't do instaspells that ruin things, such as instahealing or insta-fix-the-problem.
3. Please, for the love of all, don't make your charrie the 'first vampire' or 'the strongest most uber powerful werewolf'.
4. The DarkNight rp is taking place in an alternate steam punk reality. Think the dark ages with gears and golem robots. You can make up weapons of your dreams, but don't go flying in with a B12 bomber plane
5. Ignore this rule.

Dark Night Species (rule 6)
Most information about humans should already be known since you guys are all, well, human. Weak, fragile, and with short lifespans. However, humans are also very fast with their work - since vampires are busy stalking victims in the night, werewolves are busy keeping from going berserk, and gargoyles are stone half their life. Due to this fact, Humans were the first to come up with the idea of cyborg implants and also the first to work on wiccan magic (alchemy). Most humans hate or fear vampires and werewolves, but will work well with Gargoyles. A percentage will work to help or befriend vampires as well, but usually only in hopes of becoming one.
Humans specialize in cyborg implants, alchemy, or the construction of firearms (only 1 of the 3, not all).
They can be made into werewolves or vampires - but not change back into humans afterwards. Cannot be both.
Undead creatures of the night. Vampires are unique in the fact that they have the widest varieties of 'specialties'. However, a single vampire can only use 1 of the many powers. From fleshcraft, to shapeshifting, to shadowing. They must live on blood of humans to survive - so think of that species as sheep. And are very strict on who of the human race joins their society. Vampires are impartial to gargoyles, and really hate werewolves. While they can use the firearms from humans, they can't use alchemy or cyborg implants. Sunlight and UF light won't kill a vampire, but will blind and weaken them greatly, while artificial light really irritates them, but they can deal with it. Vampires with Shadowing skills are known to spontaniously combust when exposed to sunlight. So, of course, they hate light as well. Crosses, crucifixes, holy water, and garlic are just myths and also won't hurt a vampire.
Vampires have their own list of powers (which are listed in rule 5). And may only specialize in one of that list.
This species can convert humans to vampires by 1, draining from them three times, and 2, feeding that human their blood in a bond. They can also feed blood to another of their kind to create a bond (much like a sibling). Vampires under bond have a hard time hurting each other (without severe headache), and can't kill eachother.
Werewolves (Chronos)
Werewolves are tainted humans gone lupine. They are either human or wolf during the day, and during the night can freely shapeshift between human, wolf, and werewolf. During a full moon, werewolves have no choice and must be a werewolf during the night. Most chronos are known to have berserk intentions, love the smell of death, and enjoy a hunt. They really hate vampires, aren't fond of gargoyles on their territory, and find humans crunchy. There was a story of a werewolf that was mistaken for a human and was fitted with a cyborg arm when he lost his original one in a fight. In turn, when the werewolf became a werewolf, the cyborg arm couldn't support his enlarged body and exploded due to the force of the sudden change. Werewolves (as werewolves) are also known to have slight regeneration as well. Which makes them a pretty fearsome adversary.
Werewolves can turn humans into werewolves if they attack the human in chronos form and the human manages to live the next day. Werewolves also live in packs and don't enjoy being alone.
Gargoyles lived long before the other species. While their lifespans are only 300 years, they are known for their wisdom, their protection, and bond with humans. One could describe a gargoyle as a lizard on two legs with wings. And, besides for becoming stone during the day, they pretty much are. Due to the long lives and generations of protection, the gargoyles don't enjoy using up to date weapons like guns, and will just surfice with their claws and swords. Even though they have wings, these lizard-like demi-humans cannot fly, but only glide. Their strength matches that of a werewolf, and their claws are twice as stong - which makes scaling up a bare wall possible. Gargoyles enjoy protecting humans, are impartial to vampires, and find werewolves as kindred - though the werewolves don't think so.
Gargoyles have wonderful regeneration skills, but only after beng stone for a day. And while stone, they are just that. Stone.. And rely on humans to protect them during that time from.. well.. outside danger.

Sadly for Issue, I'll be taking out all weapons exclusivity rules. So you can ignore this post. I don't have the heart to erase it yet. So I'll stick it in a quote and put it in a hard to see color.

Issue 1
- Sunday, 10 August 2008
Another attempt at a newsletter? -_-
The rom hacking scene seems to have dulled a bit so KhaosKnight and I thought that it was time for another incarnation of the old Rom Hacking Newsletters. I can't really guarantee that we will be able to regularly create a newsletter but we will try our best.
So far it is only KhaosKnight and myself making this newsletter, but if people like the idea then we may create a thread in the Team Discussions Forum to recruit people who are keen on helping us. We will be looking to come out with a new issue every week but if it looks like it will be too much work then it might have to be every month.
We are looking to have sections for a few things which will hopefully expand with your input. We want this to be community driven. So without further ado...
Welcome to the first issue of The Rom Hacker's Newsletter!

Spotlight on the Hack of the Week
Pokemon Tree of Peace
Hack Author:
Kawaii, Inc.
Reviewed By:
Reviewer's Rating:
Far too many hacks have either established teams or are looking for one. Not this hack though. Kawaii has done everything himself. That in and of it self is an accomplishment. The hack is looking quite promising even though at the moment it is relatively new. It has some very nice features planned that the average Pokefan will love. Though I have to say using Team Rocket, Aqua and Magma is probably a bad thing. Not only has it been attempted numerous times but using those teams is a little slack, wouldn't coming up with new ones be a lot better?
The Alpha is quite good, not much available though. The use of many different colours in the text got a little annoying. The beginning also isn't what you'd usually expect so that's good. Theres a few bugs but if there weren't it wouldn't be an Alpha now would it? One thing that I didn't like though was how you get the PokeDex, who would just randomly give a PokeDex to someone for free?
Story wise its decent. Celebi hacks are a bit of a turn off for me. As are grass Pokemon. But it seems very well written and I'm sure we can expect perfect grammar and spelling in-game.
Mapping? Well, its ok. I remember when I first started Pokemon Genesis my mapping had similar faults. I'm sure he will improve. Don't get me wrong, compared to most of the other new hacks this has excellent mapping, its just I have come to expect a high standard when it comes to mapping. I suggest that you look at some mapping by Christos, Fanking Omega, Dark Lakitu and myself. I believe that is the style of mapping you are going for.
Noooooooo!! Why did you use a rom base? Sorry I just have a thing against them. Some people might like seeing the same graphics over and over though. The new rom base you are using certainly fits your hack so I won't complain. I don't like how the Mart is the same size as the PC though...
The scripts are good, perfect spelling is always a plus. Why have you not used the colour convention though? Its not too hard but a lot of people don't use it which gets frustrating. Its only 3 bytes! Female -> Red, Male -> Blue. There aren't any very advanced scripts yet but its early days yet. This hack definitely has potential.

A review by the editor
Pokemon Liquid Ocean
Hack Author:
Reviewed By:
Reviewer's Rating:
Pokemon Liquid Ocean won HOTY back in 2007 and if you remember the old thread it truly deserved. Its gone through redevelopment, but the question is does it live up to its former self? The answer? It does so in spades!
Let's start with the mapping. One word describes it: inspiring. When I first started hacking Liquid Ocean was what gave me inspiration for maps. I learnt to map simply by looking through Christos's maps. Overall the mapping is absolutely beautiful and very imaginative. Some places could use a little extra work but these are very few and far between. The only other complaint I have about the mapping is the flowers. A little too much IMO. Beautifully subtle palletes too.
Scripting is solid, nothing too amazing but as long as it is consistent then I'll be happy. The mini-games look like where Christos will really be able to show off his talent and I can't wait to try them for myself. New things like the egg store, showcase his brilliant and innovative ideas. The NPCs are very interesting and always have something quirky to say.
The tiles he's used are wonderful, as always sticking with the FR style. It seems however that he has given up some of the quality of tiles for originality which is a little disappointing.
The story is where it falls short for me. Team Rocket has never really interested me, but I guess Christos's aim is to stick to the original Pokemon game guidelines. Thats not to say it isn't interesting, just not enough to make me hold my breath for every update on the story.
The Alpha is nothing short of amazing and the play time is the perfect length. Very little bugs, and where bugs exist they are very minor. I could go on forever, but it would take me too long to talk about everything that makes this hack so good. Go check it out for yourself. Definitely my favourite hack.

Tips and Tricks
A cool new trick that you may not have known about
If you've ever tried using the special 0x17B (Seagallop animation) in FR/LG you'll know that it inexplicably always sends you to Vermillion City. Thats perfectly fine of course if that's where you wanted to end up, but what if you wanted to go somewhere else? Although you're choices are quite limited, it is possible to change it.
The Seagallop is used only when travelling between the Sevii Islands and Vermillion City. Therefore the harbours of the Sevii Islands and Vermillion City are the only places you can go. That said you still get around 8 different places.
So anyway, the way to change your destination is by changing the value of a variable. Which variable? Good 'ol 0x8006 of course! Now I haven't checked what the maximum number of values are, you'll have to try yourself, but starting from 1 for Sevii Island 1 to 7 for Sevii Island 7
work. Vermillion City is 0. As I said I haven't really tested it completely, I've only used it once (the boat script for Pokemon Genesis). So in code form it will look like this:
setvar 0x8006 0x[place where you want to go]
special 0x17B
But oh no! What if you want to travel back? Sure you just use the corresponding number but the animation shows that you are moving in the wrong direction! Well its quite simple to fix, all you need is another variable, variable 0x8004.
setvar 0x8006 0x[place where you want to go]
setvar 0x8004 0x[0 for right, 1 for left]
special 0x17B
So, thats how you do it! Next weeks tip will be somewhat of an addon to the above. Hope this helped some people!

New Tool
An excellent new tool from the Toolbox
Hello all in the hacking community this is Khaos here reporting on a new tool that just landed in the Toolbox. It is called the Nameless Tile Map Editor(apply dubbed NTME)by D-Trogh. Of course this isn't the final name, I personally find it catchy. I have found the opportunity to download this awesome looking piece of software, as the boards have been experiencing technical difficulty's lately ;). But as soon as I find the moment I will be sure to nab it, and you should too.
This tool looks very nice for an Alpha release. It looks as though you can make title screens and edit world maps with this nifty program. The author stated that, Darthatron lent him the source code that this program was written from, so a big hand to Darthatron as well. Though was hasn't been stated is what GBA games that this is compatible with, but the picture in the thread(
) there is the Rayquaza title screen for Emerald. So I expect it to be compatible with at least Emerald and most likely FireRed. Remember guys this is still an alpha and D-Trogh still needs testers.
After reading about this I give this program a 7/10.
This has been Khaos Reporting on the Tool scene. See ya Soon.

Is this the END of the Black World Or A New Beginning?
"We need to resurrect a ruthless fanatic, famous for his brutal actions. Africa has thousands of ethnic groups with different languages, customs, and thus historical conflicts. The conflagrations in Europe were petty squabbles compared to the Great Wars of Africa that engulfed several continents and allowed millions of innocent people to be slaughtered, maimed or enslaved." — From Resurrecting the King
▪ How do you prepare for Future Shock — "the personal perception of too much change in too short a period of time" — predicted by author Alvin Toffler.
▪ Robots are taking a bigger role in our day-to-day to lives. Cars will drive themselves. Astronomers are sure there is life on other planets and maybe civilizations much more advanced than ours.
▪ We embrace the future or get buried by it.
▪ Africa provides all of the raw materials for modern technology yet receives few of the benefits . . . that will change, drastically.
"I rested, leaning on the column and wall behind me.
Heavy footsteps thundered in the palace. Foreign voices shouted. Hoarse. Fearful. Desperate.
I had bathed, attended to my grievous wounds, and fully rearmed, completely aware that the battle had not gone as we expected. By treachery and sorcery, we found ourselves outnumbered 1000 to one. My warrior brothers and sisters stood defiantly and only died after inflicting huge wounds to the northern demon beast and its fanatical minions. Blood ran in rivers. Rivers turned into oceans.
Enemy soldiers are racing up the palace staircase. Clanging, clumsy dull-witted servants of the beast. Only their numbers were superior to us. They were lost, tired, wounded, and driven only by the threat of slavery if they failed to obey their cold, white masters. Most of these soldiers would die soon, when they reached the top of the stairwell where I was guarding an empty royal chamber, enjoying perhaps my last mortal breaths. I loved the smooth, cold marble on my the bottom of my feet. I wished to see at least one more golden sunrise over the savanna. I wanted to enjoy a final hot, embrace with my wife; encourage my many sons and daughters to complete their studies.
The enemy saw me, hesitated, bunching up on the stairs and hastily shouted commands for more troops, perhaps archers with deadly poisoned arrows.
My musket was armed but I depended more on sharp, molded metal to teach these dogs a lesson that they would take to their graves and all the way back to the icy glaciers where they were spawned.
The shield I carried replaced the old battered one that I had to abandon in the throat of an invader; he was one of their esteemed, immortal, warrior gods. Strange, that he had bleated like a domestic goat when I slew him. I laughed as they surged forward."
AFRICA, THE ROOT OF ALL Sci-Fi? . . .
How will AFROFuturism — the use of technology for political, educational and social progress in Africa and its diaspora — affect the balance of power in the modern world?
How will we work, love and play? What will Africa become? How can we influence technology for our benefit?
Read the novels and short stories by AFROFuturists. Obtain an Afrofuturistic glimpse of what the world is about to become.
Science fiction and fantasy may frighten some people; yet it can inspire us to brave the steps into the future. The great minds of speculative fiction have pondered dire problems and offered innovative solutions. For centuries, sci-fi writers have been predicting things to come or exploring hidden fantasies in our world. Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury, Pauline Hopkins, George S. Schuyler, Langston Hughes and other writers from many nationalities have used their talents to create Sci-Fi and Fantasy with an African flavor.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

The U.S. Not-For-Profit Health Care Sector?s Rating Stability Is Vulnerable To Headwinds After 2012 Jan 12

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services expects credit quality for U.S. not-for-profit health care providers to be stable in 2012, but rising headwinds are a major risk for the sector following 2011's improved performance. The rating stability we project for 2012 reflects the financial cushion many providers have rebuilt since the recession as a result of successful and ongoing cost containment efforts and benefits from mergers and acquisitions in many cases, combined with health care reform readiness initiatives. Yet, we question the sustainability of these results as we believe that 2011 and 2012 represent the top of the current credit cycle. We believe that credit quality and ratings will be negatively affected, perhaps as early as 2013, due to an increasingly...

The retail expert told The Daily Telegraph that she was left "utterly deflated" by a decision last week to allow Tesco to build a superstore in Margate, one of her 12 "Portas Pilot" towns.
She criticised Eric Pickles, the Communities and Local Government Secretary, for not even responding to her opposition to the Tesco plan, and said the residents of Margate were "appalled" by his decision. She said she wanted a meeting with the Prime Minister and Mr Pickles to ask if they really cared about driving the "transformational" change needed to help high streets.
The television presenter again urged ministers to back her proposals to introduce an "exceptional sign-off" where the Government would have to rubber stamp every out of town development and prove it would not affect town centres. She criticised George Osborne, the Chancellor, for failing to tackle spiralling business rates, which she said were blocking the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
She said: "I genuinely believe we can have a new type of high street, but we need to dig deeper and I'm not seeing that happening and it's getting very frustrating. The Government response to my proposals has been tepid. I feel exhausted by it.
"When I look at Twitter and the people wanting to try things and make things happen … the Government has not kept up with its side of the bargain. I feel thoroughly and utterly deflated.
"What happened with Margate was just the icing on the cake. I can't see how we can ever make a high street work when they allow that. I mean how can a high street compete with an 82,000 sq ft Tesco?"
She added: "I'll never walk away. I will always be there for the towns and the people that have been trying so hard. But I would like an audience with David Cameron and Eric Pickles.
"I want them to say they will look at this exceptional sign-off, they will look at business rates and say they are 'town centres first'. At the moment they are paying lip service to it."
The Department for Communities and Local Government insisted an independent report showed the Tesco development on Margate's seafront could help to drive footfall into the town centre.
But Portas said Tesco should have had to prove it could not find a site in the centre. She claimed the development would become a "symbol" of the Government's failure.
She added: "I feel what is happening is the Government is saying, 'Let's put this issue on the local authorities, let's empower the local authorities'. Because if you ask central government it isn't going to happen."
Mr Cameron asked Portas to produce a report on what could be done to save Britain's high streets in early 2011. Her 28-point plan was published later that year.
The Government has provided funding to the 12 "Portas Pilots" such as Margate, to encourage ideas to revive local trade, but Portas said she was still waiting for a formal reply to her plans.
She added that as well as its failure on planning, it was "bloody mad" that the Government last year decided to delay a revaluation of business rates by two years until 2017.
Another increase in rates in April added £175 million to retailers' costs just weeks after the collapse of big name chains such as HMV, Comet, Jessops and Blockbuster.
Portas said: "In any sector you need to sow the seeds. We are in a time and a place where there are so many people who want to do entrepreneurial things and start new ideas. We have the brightest people coming out of our colleges and universities. But we are not developing tomorrow's businesses. It's a 'no' from the Chancellor and it's bloody mad."
She added: "I fear for the future. I think we will see a real polarisation, with some town centres that have got councils who will fight to develop new ideas showing some improvement. But at the other end of the scale, in larger centres that are already quite devastated we will begin to see real decay."
