Project Morpheus
Sony's VR headset promises a whole new world, but when will it deliver?
- Very immersive
- HD display is nice and crisp
- Compliments existing PlayStation hardware
- Some rough visuals
- Motion tracking occasionally disconnects
When the creator of
Oculus Rift
told us that he
didn't think consoles were fit for virtual reality
, I wondered if he might have a point. But as is the way with
Morpheus is in prototype right now.
It certainly feels more "finished" than Oculus; not only does the main eyepiece look like a polished product, there's a dynamic plastic headstrap to boot. Getting it to fit wasn't too difficult and the headset felt secure enough for the purposes of the demo.
However it does feel like the weight balance needs addressing, and Sony will want to relocate some of those wires that I kept almost chewing on.There's also the tiniest of space near the bridge of your nose. It's not too distracting from the overall experience and, during the more intense sensations, served as an easy reminder that my feet are still planted safely in reality.
Morpheus hits the ground running with a 1080p display - some of you will never know the nausea that an SD screen with lag can induce. We asked Sony if its God of Dreams might end up in 4K however it didn't sound promising. As it is, Morpheus is satisfyingly crisp, but I did notice the occasional jaggedly-rendered object and felt the odd frame rate stutter. It's the same stuff we've seen with Oculus.
Morepheus's 90-degree field of vision does lose out to Oculus's 110 degrees but this is hardly noticeable - and likely to change come the final product.
Lost in space
The first game I tried was space simulator Eve: Valkyrie. Already a fan of Strike Suit Zero on the Oculus Rift, I was reasonably prepared for what was about to come.
Hurtling through space, admiring the view of giant ships as you pass under them, dodging your way through asteroid fields - this is exactly the kind of stuff we all dreamed about when we were younger.
And even though I'd experienced space in VR before, there were a couple of barrel rolls that sent my stomach spinning.
It's clear that some people are more prone to feeling physically affected by VR than others, but the clarity and low latency of Morpheus in its current state mean the risks of nausea are low. I felt ok during my 10 minutes with Eve, but like I said, there were a couple of hairy moments.
Beyond the sea
But as great as space was, it was exploring the ocean depths that really set the pulse racing. The Deep , Sony's second demo, was a perfect tease at what's possible when you wed VR and horror.
The game begins with you in a diving cage, floating near the surface of the ocean. What was different about this experience was that I was standing up so the game needed to account for this. Sure enough, when I squatted down I noticed my virtual legs bent at the same time, a feat made possible by the motion tracking.
It's these little touches that help make the experience that bit more immersive. As I sunk further down to the ocean depths, it became clear that I'd made an enemy among the aquatic wildlife as a shark began circling my cage.
The Deep wasn't a very interactive experience. I could look around me was holding a flare fun that would move with my real hands thanks to the motion-enabled Dualshock 4, however there were a couple of moments where I "broke" the connection between my real hands and my virtual ones.
As it turned out, the flare gun was about as effective as a bacon sandwich when the shark started ripping into the cage. But it was fantastic way to experience VR, especially with the lack of any form of HUD.
It was just me, under water, face to face with Jaws. And for a couple of brief moments it was absolutely terrifying.
Street Luge
Where The Deep represented pure fantasy as only a faux-holodeck experience could provide, the Street Luge stood out for its ability to make me cringe, wince, yelp and ultimately feel like I was on a roller coaster without the intense wind and bodily sensations.
It started slow, allowing me to get used to the controls - lean left to drift left, lean right to go right. Then came my first car. I dodged left and, in doing so, earned a small speed boost. There was a timer ticking in the corner of my screen that I hadn't noticed before; this was one of virtual reality's first time trials.
More cars came and went as I slowly became comfortable balancing the hardware that was secured around my head and the bodily sensations I was starting to feel. I could look straight up at the clouds and left and right over the mountainside. If I hadn't been sharing the road with sedans and semi-trucks this would've been a relatively zen-like experience. Alas.
The crowning moment came when, unable to dodge left or right, I slid unscathed between an truck's wheels and looked up into its undercarriage. When I did eventually crash, however, the screen briefly flashed red before I slowed down some - there were no gruesome, Tomb-Raider-getting-impaled-on-a-tree-branch moments here.
I crossed the finish line with two minutes and thirty two seconds on the clock. Not bad for my first downhill run.
Morpheus Castle
The final demo was called Morpheus Castle, a smack-'em-up that served to demonstrate how Move can be used so brilliantly with Morpheus. You may have forgotten about Sony's Wiimote rival, but these glowy sticks may be about to have a serious comeback.
By pressing the back triggers you'll curl your fingers into a fist. Extend them rapidly and you'll throw a punch. Because the PS Camera can track your position in a room, you'll be able to walk a few feet forwards and backwards - but not very far left or right.
You're asked to punch a hanging dummy. Complete the task and you're rewarded with your first weapon, a sword. I held the trigger on the back of the Move and I was able to cast the sword in huge arches, eventually lopped off the poor dummy's arms, legs and head.
This was a smooth, seamless experience and gave me hope that the Star Wars game we've always dreamed of - the one where lightsaber duels are not only plausible, but an enjoyable part of the game - are within arm's reach. (See what I did there?)
Next I grabbed a mace that, when extended, felt the force of gravity and hung low on its chain. I swing it a few times to get some momentum going and before long was using it to dismember a newly furnished foe.
After which was a crossbow demo, the least exciting part of my experience. I didn't need to hold down a button in the back this time and was only required to press the trigger when I had lined up a shot. The arrow tended to curve down and, while realistic, it felt a little unfulfilling in a so-far, so-good demo.
But as with the flare gun in The Deep , there was occasionally a disconnect between my virtual and real hands. There are clearly some technical boundaries when it comes to body motion with VR, and making them harder to break will be key to immersion.
Like the Playstation camera and the Dualshock 4's tracking blue light , Move suddenly makes a lot more sense with Morpheus. Sony's master plan is coming together.
Early verdict
The most frustrating thing about VR right now is trying to convey it with words. You really do have to see
There's still work to be done - edges were rough and objects seemed a little less than their HD display - but Sony is clearly determined to iron these out before it comes to market.
When that might be is hard to say. But take Morpheus for a spin and I guarantee you'll be as excited as I am for what virtual reality will offer. This is the missing piece of the PS4 puzzle, and it's a big one.

Chapter II
The rest of the night was simply more dancing. The Lady was passed from partner to partner, dancing with Viscounts, Erls and Dukes. 'Her feet must be agony,' the ladies whispered. 'I wouldn't want to be her for anything. All that dancing? Ptah!' But her face remained impassive, cold, beautiful. She was a mistress at emotionlessness.
Finally, with a last flourish, the orchestra ended the final dance of the night, and everyone collapsed gratefully into a seat for the banquet. No splendour had been spared here either, with golden chairs, red velvet cushions, more pennants and, of course, the food.
Course after course arrived: thin slices of ham with sweet melons from Graecia; baby leaf salads with goat's cheese and small tomatoes from the palace's gardens; succulent pork with roasted apricots, a thick creamy sauce and cinnamon; mint sorbets to clear the pallet between courses; deep red wine, dry white wine, sweet pink wine… And finally, as the hour neared midnight, champagne was brought fourth, and the King rose to address the whole table.
'Ladies and gentlemen,' he began with a smile. 'My deepest thanks for joining me here tonight in the celebration of the birthday of the Honourable Lady Beatrix, Countess of the Yild Valley and surrounding areas, daughter of my dear departed brother and his wife.
'Before his death, I promised my brother that I would care for his daughter as if she were my own child. This, I believe, I have carried out to the best of my ability. I have watched his daughter grow to be a fine young lady, worthy of any man whom she marries. I truly believe my brother would have been proud if he could have seen her now.
'Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to join me in a toast – to the Lady Beatrix, may she have long life and prosperity!'
Countless glasses were raised in the air to the chorus of 'the Lady Beatrix!'.
'And now I would like you to join me at a game of billiards!'
A laugh rippled around the room, and Aaron leaned over to speak to the King. A smile dancing in his eyes, Roald raised his wineglass to his lips once more, and the Lady found herself watching their carefree exchange.
For a moment, everything was normal and as it should be. But as the great clock began to chime midnight, everything changed. By the time it finished chiming, Disnarta would be a completely different place altogether.

Our group met yesterday with Saad Hariri, son of the assassinated former prime minister Rafiq Hariri, who has inherited his father's political work and stands to be prime minister if the March 14 people win the June elections.
The meeting took place yesterday afternoon at his … well, how do I say this? The word to describe the Hariri family fortune starts with a "b" (as in, not "millions"), and the home-office complex is a stunningly grand, nine-story palace in central Beirut. Even getting near it – and obviously, for understandable reasons – would seem to be well-nigh impossible for your average person. We walked from our hotel, the Bristol, down a typically narrow-ish street, past one checkpoint, past another, past a third. We made it eventually to the block on which the palace actually reposes. Upon entry we went through the real security checkpoint, ie the metal detectors, and were ushered up to the eighth floor. We were led to a grand sitting room – massive, ornate, high-ceilinged. Eventually, Hariri and retinue (about six other men) entered, and we interviewed him for around an hour.
His affable press aide declared it background only, meaning no direct quotes without permission, and I haven't had time to run quotes by him, so I can't quote from it. I will, though, describe a few points that struck me.
The other day, I wrote that the M14 people we sat with were decidedly glum about the Obama administration's announced new and more open posture toward talking to Syria and Iran. Hariri didn't share this view. Of course, he's a potential head of state, not a movement activist, so speaking ill of a popular new president on whose good offices he will greatly depend should he become prime minister wouldn't be the world's sharpest idea. All the same I was glad to hear a little more optimism. He seems to be counting on the US to use the dialogue with Syria to put a lot more pressure on Bashar al-Assad than has been applied.
He spoke at some length about the international tribunal probing his father's assassination. Understandably, this is pretty personal for him, but what he seemed to me to be signaling was that he'd be inclined to accept the tribunal's verdict wherever it led – that is, however high up the Syrian chain of command it did or did not go (again, Syria denies any role in the assassination).
He's pretty new to politics. He's soft-spoken. His left leg twitched from time to time. Some other Lebanese at the lunch said he was much better at all this than he used to be and that he gets enthusiastic responses from crowds, which, given the passion surrounding the memory of his father, I don't doubt. But he doesn't campaign all that much, I was told, because of security concerns. From an American point of view, he could use a little polish. But not too much – there's a humility conveyed in his demeanor that suits the moment and context in which he's operating, ie, as the son who is fulfilling an obligation to the memory of his father, taking up this mantle a bit reluctantly.
Finally, they served us a lunch (on Limoges china) that would have sated a den of lions. We've been eating like whales from the day we arrived.

Yet more pressure has been heaped on the London 2012 Olympics' embattled security contractor G4S after one of their staff was accused of spitting and hurling verbal abuse at a serviceman drafted in to cover the gaps at the Games.
The security guard is alleged to have called the soldier a "baby-killer", in an apparent reference to his service in Afghanistan after the member of 35 Engineers asked to search him. The incident is thought to have happened at Lords cricket ground on Saturday, which was hosting the archery event.
G4S said it was "urgently investigating claims of an altercation between a security officer and a soldier". A spokesman said: "We take any case of improper behaviour by a member of our staff very seriously. We do not tolerate insulting behaviour and, where necessary, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken."
The Ministry of Defence said the alleged incident was an "isolated occurrence". A spokesman said: "We can confirm that there was an incident at Lord's cricket ground on 28 July. The matter was reported and is being investigated by G4S.
"This isolated occurrence is not indicative of the good working relationship between the military and G4S."
G4S has been widely criticised after it was forced to admit it could not provide all of the security guards it was contracted to deploy at the Games. Its chief executive was dragged before MPs to explain the situation and he agreed that the episode was a "humiliating shambles", saying he regretted taking the contract in the first place.
It emerged G4S banned its own executives from taking up corporate hospitality places during the Games after the Army was called upon to provide 4,700 personnel to cover the gaps it left in the Olympics security plan, bringing the total number of MoD personnel involved in the Games to 18,000.
A high level of absenteeism among G4S' staff and problems getting sufficient numbers of security guards on the roster for events, as well as criticism of the quality of its training have also been reported since the scandal came to light.

Great Protien review by Irv on 7/27/2015
This has to be one of my favorite proteins on the market. I feel like you get the biggest bang for your buck with this protein. It is a decent quality protein that provides the body with the needed protein throughout the day before or after workouts. The chocolate peanut butter taste is amazing, especially when you mix it in the blender with ice and a banana.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.
A decent product. review by Bubba on 6/10/2015
Dymatize Elite Gourmet protein shake powder is very unique. The cappaccino rush flavor is very good tasting and perfect for the mornings or upon waking. It has 100 milligrams of caffeine added to it, so can replace a cup of coffee or tea. This is one of the first proteins i have tried that had stimulants added to it. It is a combination of whey isolates and concentration with casein proteins. So you can expect a time release suitable for times where you may not have time to eat a meal. The macros are not bad in my opinion due to its specificity. It also mixes well although a shaker is probably the easiest way.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.
Average review by Peyton on 3/24/2015
This is really just an average protein powder. A lot of people like it because it tastes so good, but there are definitely better options out there in terms of nutrition. It is probably best used for periods of muscle building over fat loss because it has more calories, fat, and carbs than most powders. It's okay, but nothing special.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.
Taste pretty good review by asianwuwe on 8/9/2014
Great Protein. I got a sample of this protein. The price is not bad and mixes awesome with water. There is a good amount of protein and also gives BCAAS and glutamin for recovery. I use this post workout and noticed some good recovery time. Price isnt too bad either, so def a good buy.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.
Great Product review by Alex on 7/26/2014
For the price this is a fantastic protein blend. For those who can't have blends with egg protein, this seems to be the best premixed option. Not soluble at all so you get lots of chunks but that isn't such a bad thing because the chunks are pretty tasty. Nice flavours and Cookies and Cream tastes like a smarties mcflurry... At this price, and without any shady techniques like nitrogen spiking, it is a very solid product. Will probably be my staple from now on. Overall, it's a great product that tastes great, mixes great, and is a very cheap price. Definitely would recommend!
*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.
Quick, cheap, and effective! review by Michael on 7/16/2014
For the price, you can't beat this. It takes a while to make the protein dissolve in water as it doesn't mix very well but it does taste pretty decent and its dirt CHEAP! The low price is not indicative of the quality which is actually pretty good. I prefer the vanilla over the chocolate as it taste better and its a good base to make blended shakes with fruits and oats or to even put a scoop or two in some pancake batter and make protein pancakes.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.

High dose rate (HDR) remote brachytherapy involves placing very tiny plastic catheters into the treatment area, and then giving radiation treatments through these catheters over a short, temporary period of time. With HDR a computer controlled machine pushes a single highly radioactive source (i.e.…iridium 192) into the catheters one by one. The average time of treatment is 10 minutes.

Discussion in 'The Logo Creator Gallery' started by Darrin, Mar 4, 2004.
Any thoughts on improvements?
I like what I see, however, there maybe a better choice of font. It just seems a little too tattered looking. It is somewhat distracting.
Thanks. I will experiment with different fonts and post back. :D
Here is one of my favorites sources downloading fonts and dingbats. http://www.coolarchive.com/index.cfm
Great site Katie thanks. I bookmarked it. Heres what I came up with so far.
Better font.
Looks a little busy to me though. Keep it simple.
If you want to keep the tablet in the background, add a white outline to the tag line. "Institute of America" gets lost. Or better yet, I suggest keeping the "The" of the tag line under the "B" and "America" under the "S". So it all looks alligned and clean. And maybe drop the opacity(fade) of the tablet.
Annnnd one last thing...You don't need the drop shadow for "bteministries.org" There are to many letters. The more text the best to keep it simple with no effects. Leave that to the titles. Makes sense? For now it looks god. Keep working at it.
Hi Darrin.
Welcome to the forum!
Personally, seeing both of your logos, I like the 1st one! I actually think the font (in the first one) works well with your image. Very biblical!
I do agree with Borp however. You may want to drop the opacity a bit for the tablet!
- Marc
Thanks. Of both of them I like the first best also. I think Ill keep working off of that one. Heres the latest. What about the opacity of the scroll? Should I decrease it more or increase it? Or stick with the original showing less of the scroll? Thanks for all the help
Using the first font try using an image of bark or wood as the color. IMHO it gives it the old look but softens the tattered look.
I like the last one there, but the image with the cross on the left now looks too "clean" or sharp compared to the rest. And I agree about the font.. I like the tattered old look .. just seems more biblical to me. :)
Borpean.. .. cute typo you got there..
hee hee
And Katie.. thanks for that font link! darn.. yesterday I was searching all over google for a small caps font and everyone that said it was "free" ended up taking me to a page where I could add it to my cart for anywhere from $29.99 to $118.99 !!
I ended up finding a font that worked on a corel CD that I have, but this link is great!
Thanks for all the help with this. Very helpful. :) This software has made it pretty easy to create decent logos. Heres what I have now.
looks pretty good! one last thing I'd try is to set the kerning.. er, I mean spacing on the letters in the line "The Bible Translation... " increase it so that the line is the same width as the text above it.
try it and see how it looks.
Looks god! ahem...
Um yea. sorry bout that. I was caught up in the Logo :o
See? No drop shadow makes it stand out more.
I agree with Jamirae, the image with the cross does look sharp compared to the rest. BUT, you can always play around with both styles, for bizz card, letterhead etc. The cross as a stand alone logo would look cool and the rest in text format??? hmm?
These are just ideas, it's up to you what you think looks good for your business.
Looks goooood. :D
Here is the font using wood image...which may or may not balance the Cross' image.
First let me also welcome you. Very nice!
here is my 2cents
I like the look of the first design
I don't think you need the url at the bottom of the design.
I would add a small " .org" below or to the right of the word Ministries
stick with the original showing less of the scroll and drop the opacity
- Erik
Looks great buddy. I must agree, I like the first also. It looks more athentic.

Human ErrorMature
Chapter 19
It's now Sunday afternoon. You lose your sense of time when you're lying there emotionless. My liver enzymes were still rising. They weren't sure if I would definitely need a new liver or not. I really hoped not. I didn't want to mess up more than I already had. I just wanted to get everything done and over with.
My nurse came in to see how I was doing. I had gotten used to him, as he had been my nurse for a while now. He was nice and funny, and he understood me. His daughter had attempted overdosing on Tylenol, too. He also was not very good as a teenager, so he knew a bit of what I was going through.
John tried to keep my mind off of things by talking about roller-coasters, college, band, and stuff like that. I guess he either really wanted me to get better, or he wanted to get rid of me. I decided I wouldn't think about that for now, I would just got along with everything.
"Can you stand up?" he asked. I proceeded to attempt to stand up, but I was very shaky. He then arranged the IVs on the pole so I could try walk around.
I didn't want to move, I just wanted to lay in bed. John didn't seem to agree with that, though. He made me walk around the unit. It was strange; everyone was staring at me. They were just watching me walk around in a giant loop. It made me feel uncomfortable, but I ignored it. If I was going to get John off of my back, I had to do this. Besides, I got to see something other than the blank wall in my room.
"You're going to be transferred to the regular Pediatric Ward," I was told by a random nurse that I hadn't recognized. I didn't understand the difference, mainly because I wasn't listening, but I didn't mind much. It didn't seem like a big deal.
I got a new room, and a much more cheerful view. The room was bright colors, mainly orange, yellow, and blue. There were lots of decorations throughout this ward. There were fish tanks, giant stuffed animals, and even a play room. This was a much more comfortable environment.
It didn't match my feelings, however. I was still sad, though I still didn't show it. I didn't want anyone to worry about me more than they already claimed to be. I just put on another mask, and went along with everything. I was out of energy at this point in the day, so I just crashed. I fell asleep, and went off to another world. I didn't have any dreams or nightmares. It was just a black pit. Nothing else.
I woke up suddenly to yet another needle in my arm. I looked at the bag, and saw the fluids that were flowing into my blood and traveling through my body. I watched as the bag released a small amount of fluid at a time into the IV.
Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop. I could hear the faint plunk of the water as it dropped into the pool of it. I was paying more attention to this than I had to any of the doctors or nurses. This was so simple, yet so complex. There was a rhythm, and it was exact. How could something flow in such causality, yet still maintain a perfect pattern? I analyzed this for quite some time, until my food arrived.
They were making me try to eat today. I don't remember what I had gotten, but it felt grotesque as I tried to let it slide down my throat. It felt so unnatural. It took so much effort just to swallow.
I couldn't let them know about how I hadn't been eating. They would just keep me longer, and all I wanted was to leave. I would just show to them that I wasn't thinking on one night, and that I was fine and dandy. That way I could get out of here.
I didn't like being a number. I was just a number to most of the staff. I was just a patient. I was just another person that they had to put up with. They didn't actually care about me it seemed. They just cared that I was better, but that wasn't what I had wanted. That was the opposite of what I had wanted.
I still didn't want to live. Some of the nurses had told me that there was a reason I had lived, that there was some bigger purpose. There was a reason I survived. Human error.

The United National Independence Party (UNIP) is a political party in Zambia. It governed the country from 1964 to 1991 under the presidency of Kenneth Kaunda, and was the sole legal party between 1973 and 1990.
The party was founded in October 1959 as a successor to the Zambian African National Congress, which had been banned earlier in the year. It was initially led by Mainza Chona as ZANC leader Kaunda had been imprisoned, but upon his release from jail in January 1960, Kaunda assumed the party's leadership.[1]
In the 1962 general elections the party won 14 seats, making it the second largest party behind the European-dominated United Federal Party (UFP). However, although Northern Rhodesian African National Congress leader Harry Nkumbula had made a secret electoral pact with the UFP, he later opted to form a government with UNIP. After a convincing victory in the 1964 elections, in which UNIP won 55 of the 75 seats, Kaunda became Prime Minister of Northern Rhodesia, leading the country to independence on 24 October 1964, at which point he became President.[2]
In the 1968 general elections Kaunda was re-elected president with 82% of the vote, whilst UNIP won 81 of the 105 elected seats in the National Assembly.[2]
In 1973 the country became a one-party state with UNIP as the sole legal party; an amended constitution was promulgated on 25 August 1973, with the 1973 elections described as the final steps in achieving what was called a "one-party participatory democracy." National policy was formulated by the Central Committee of UNIP. According to the constitution, UNIP's president was selected at the party's general conference, and the second-ranking person in the Zambian hierarchy was UNIP's secretary general. The constitution also stipulated that UNIP's president was the sole candidate for president of the republic; he was confirmed in office every five years via a yes/no referendum. Voters chose between multiple UNIP candidates for the 125 parliamentary seats, with three candidates running in each constituency. Kaunda was confirmed as president with 89% of the vote.[2] Elections were held under the same system in 1978, 1983 and 1988, with Kaunda receiving at least 80% of the vote each time.
At the end of 1990 multi-party democracy was reintroduced, and UNIP was roundly defeated in the 1991 general elections by the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD); Kaunda was defeated in the presidential vote by MMD candidate Frederick Chiluba, receiving just 24% of the vote, whilst in the National Assembly elections UNIP won 25 seats to the MMD's 125.[2]
Following changes to the constitution which effectively barred Kaunda from running for president again, UNIP boycotted the 1996 elections, although two members contested National Assembly seats. The party returned to contest the 2001 elections with Kenneth Kaunda's son, Tilyenji, as its presidential candidate; he received 10% of the vote, finishing fourth out of the eleven candidates. In the National Assembly elections the party won 13 seats.[2]
Prior to the 2006 elections the party joined the United Democratic Alliance alongside the other two largest opposition parties. United Party for National Development leader Hakainde Hichilema was the alliance's presidential candidate, finishing third. The alliance won just 26 seats in the National Assembly, down from the 74 the three parties had won in 2001.
UNIP did not contest the 2008 presidential by-election, but nominated Tilyenji Kaunda as its presidential candidate for the 2011 elections. Kaunda received less than 1% of the vote, finishing sixth in a field of ten candidates. The party also failed to win a seat in the National Assembly, receiving only 0.7% of the vote.[2] Kaunda ran in the 2015 presidential by-election, but again received less than 1% of the vote. Tilyenji Kaunda remained the party's presidential candidate for the 2016 general elections, but he received only 0.24% of the vote, with the party again failing to win a seat in the National Assembly.

Paid Sick Leave in Massachusetts Update: Understanding the Proposed Regulations
This webinar was originally presented on May 14, 2015.
Last November, when Massachusetts voters passed a ballot measure requiring employers to provide paid sick time to employees, critical details and inconsistencies related to planning and implementation were left to new Attorney General Healey's office to reconcile through regulations.
These draft regulations, which are open to public comment, were published on April 24, 2015. Many of the lingering ambiguities have been clarified, but still many others remain open to a range of interpretations that will continue to leave employers confused as the law's effective date of July 1, 2015 rapidly approaches.
Please join Amber Elias, from Fisher Phillips' Boston office, for a webinar presentation and open question & answer session around the proposed paid sick leave regulations, the implications they have on businesses operating in Massachusetts, and how best to prepare for July 1.
Date and time:
May 14, 2015
10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

Tennessee Titans CB Cortland Finnegan called out Kyle Orton on Wednesday after the Denver Broncos QB described the defender as "cheap" after Sunday's game.
Orton had said the Titans overall were cheap-shot artists and singled out Finnegan for overly aggressive play after the Broncos' 26-20 win in Nashville.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher had already dismissed the criticism, but Finnegan went one step further.
He said, via the Tennessean:
"We don't play the Broncos this week, we play the Cowboys. I couldn't care what another man says. He is a quarterback, man, who cares? If (Orton) wants to show up in Nashville to see me, that's cool, too. But I doubt (he will)."
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels backed up Orton and said the QB's description of the Titans as cheap-shot artists was "accurate."

Notes for Editors
1. Established by Royal Charter in 1998, Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace and Kew Palace. HRP's cause is to 'help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built'. Although the palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, HRP receives no funding from the Government or the Crown, so it depends on the support of visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.
2. Trustees are not remunerated, but reasonable expenses are reimbursed.

Rather than scientific language, the Bible often uses what is called phenomenological language—the language of appearance. It describes what anyone can see. Read More >
It would be a pity if, in a desire to treat the Bible as more than a book, we ended up treating it as less than a book... Read More >

I would suggest you spend a little more than one or two nights in this place, since most travellers do that and didn't get to enjoy it the way we did.
Because we were there for almost 3 to 4 days, we pretty much felt like we were enjoying our own villa. We hung out in the pool and at the backyard tables with little to no intrusion from other guests, because few people stay in the day.
The service was absolutely excellent. In order to ensure that you get to the hotel safely, they have a shuttle that runs anytime of the day (the old man who drives the shuttle sleeps in the hotel and awaits any phone calls). He is very good-natured and even allowed us to stop for food because we were starving.
Another service person I would like to bring up (can't remember his name, though) was this man who helped us to make phone calls for confirmations and clinch discounts through the people he knew. We were going to Jaco but spoke little to no Spanish, and had nothing concrete the day before we were due to leave. But this guy helped us by spending almost upwards of 2 hours simply calling shuttle services and hotels in Jaco to ensure we could arrive safely and comfortably. If anything, that level of service would bring me back to Airport Hotel Berlor the next time.
Check out Oscar's Fried Chicken and the Pizza Place that is connected to another inn/hotel.
One more point: I was -really- disgusted by the state of the toilet of the bigger room past the pool. Granted, it was very big and value for money, but there were dark brown holes in the ground and walls. I am generally a flexible person when it comes to lodging, but that toilet was pretty disgusting for me. I don't even mind the random paraphernalia that were strewn around the room in heaps and covered in dust. But the toilet...

in love with a werewolf
it seems cupid's clever arrow
has tricked my heart again
and I'm stupidly bewitched
with something I can never have.
Wolf man.
He prowls in the dead of night,
where he goes follows no light,
and he tracked me down, captured my soul,
lay above my body and let lust take its toll
all the while believing I was only using him
as he used me.
But it's no wonder he went running
when he kissed me and felt that I felt something
I'm not afraid of his yellow eyed gaze,
or his wayward ways.
Instead, I long to stray along his side
into the alleys where demons hide,
I want to make love to him until the stars bid us goodbye,
I want to be the one to change his drifting life.
But he is not of the human race,
and I am left lingering in this place,
remembering those two hours of bliss we shared,
hating myself for being so unprepared
to fall.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Mr. James emphasized that ACT would then aggressively work on my behalf to network and market my skills to hiring managers that they have worked with in the past.
Mr. James said that he would personally use his extensive network of 20-years to make calls in my behalf and market my background and experience
To date, I have not received a single communication about an interview
Mr. James has consistently refused to return any calls or email messages I sent his to discuss his services
I did not get interviews within 4-6 weeks of ACTs initiative, nor to date (10-months later) as Mr. James told my wife (on conference call) and myself that I would
ACT's actions did nothing to bring me closer to my goal of securing a new career opportunity as Mr. James said they would
All that ACT did to give the semblance of doing "something," likely to meet the basic "legal" requirement of "using his extensive network" was to use an old/irrelevent/and non-target e-mail lift, from which I must have gotten in excess of 200 invalid and non-existing addresses - THAT'S ALL!
Do not Fall for the line I use credit cards only to get paid. My clients have the assurance that they can get a refund of their payments within 60-days by allerting their credit card company," or something like that. It just does not work that way. Im still trying to get a refund from my bank. Why are Check Payments not accepted by ACT or Mr. James? ACT and Mr. James would have to be a real person and a real business to have a checking account. They are a deceitful person AND a phoney operation.

Policing by consent...
Stross's recent "The Annihilation Score" mentions the 9 Principles of Policing formulated by the founder of the London Metropolitan Police, one of which is that the police act by consent of the policed.
This article reminds us of why that is a good idea.
//My unit began to patrol on foot almost exclusively, which was exceptionally more dangerous than staying inside our armored vehicles. We relinquished much of our personal security by entering dimly lit homes in insurgent strongholds. We didn't know if the hand we would shake at each door held a detonator to a suicide vest or a small glass of hot, sugary tea.
But as a result, we better understood our environment and earned the allegiance of some people in it. The benefits quickly became clear. One day during that bloody summer, insurgents loaded a car with hundreds of pounds of explosives and parked it by a school. They knew we searched every building for hidden weapons caches, and they waited for us to gather near the car. But as we turned the corner to head toward the school, several Iraqis told us about the danger. We evacuated civilians from the area and called in a helicopter gunship to fire at the vehicle.
The resulting explosion pulverized half the building and blasted the car's engine block through two cement walls. Shrapnel dropped like jagged hail as far as a quarter-mile away.
If we had not risked our safety by patrolling the neighborhood on foot, trusting our sources and gathering intelligence, it would have been a massacre. But no one was hurt in the blast.
Domestic police forces would benefit from a similar change in strategy. Instead of relying on aggression, they should rely more on relationships. Rather than responding to a squatter call with guns raised, they should knock on the door and extend a hand. But unfortunately, my encounter with officers is just one in a stream of recent examples of police placing their own safety ahead of those they're sworn to serve and protect.//

The Emergence of Individual Knowledge in a Group Setting: Mitigating Cognitive Fallacies

Research in psychology has found that subjects regularly exhibit a conjunction fallacy in probability judgments. Additional research has led to the finding of other fallacies in probability judgment, including disjunction and conditional fallacies. Such analyses of judgments are critical because of the substantial amount of probability judgment done in accounting, business and organizational settings. However, most previous research has been conducted in the environment of a single decision maker. Since business and other organizational environments also employ groups, it is important to determine the impact of groups on such cognitive fallacies. This paper finds that groups substantially mitigate the impact of probability judgment fallacies among the sample of subjects investigated. The key finding of this paper is the analysis of the apparent manner in which groups make such decisions. A statistical analysis, based on a binomial distribution, suggests that groups investigated here did not use consensus. Instead, if any one member of the group has correct knowledge about the probability relationships, then the group uses that knowledge and does not exhibit fallacy in probability judgment. Having a computational model of the group decision making process provides a basis for developing computational models that can be used to simulate "mirror worlds" of reality or model decision making in real world settings.
