AIFMD reporting context and key issues
Following the transposition of AIFMD in 22 July 2013 by European member states, AIFMs are required to report on the AIFs they manage and operate.
The reporting templates were defined by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under articles 24(1),(2),(4), and 3(3)(d) of the Directive.
AIFMD reporting entered the regulatory landscape as a means to standardise the information disclosed to regulators and provide transparency to the alternative investment industry. Hence, the reports aim to capture the complexity of various portfolios driven by different investment strategies.
Attempting to provide a full picture of the risks taken by the investment vehicules, the reports require the compilation of risk figures, operational data, and legal obligations information.
As a freshly enforced Directive, some areas are expected to be clarified over the coming years and, therefore, currently require expert interpretation for transposition.
AIFMD reporting main challenges
The market has highlighted issues with:
- Risk implications – Dedicated Risk Managers available to calculate or review all risk related fields of the Reporting
- Operational risk – large number of enrichments and data manipulations are to be performed on the data which leads to processing errors
- Coordination with many stakeholders – as the reports require information from various sources, the number of stakeholders involved can be significant
- Data management – information is to be collected from multiple data sources and a strong emphasis on quality is required
- Dissimenation to regulators – unclear or complex technical requirements. Regarding non-EU AIFMs, coordination of the dissimenation to multiple regulators
- Monitoring – the complexity of the production process and the strict deadlines create a strong need for efficient monitoring
Tailored solution
Deloitte has deeply monitored the evolution of the AIFM Directive since its initial publication in 2011. This allows us to provide solutions covering each aspect of AIFMD reporting.
Deloitte's AIFMD reporting factory is designed for maximum automation of the reports creation to allow our experts to focus on the important aspects of the content.

16. A Family Divided [V]
Benjamin gazed up at Peter. Before he could speak though, a crash from the attic made them both look up. As brothers, both boys' hands took grip of the banister and, after a second of intent listening, both used the banister to help them sprint up the stairs.
A small cloud of dust blew from the attic; something up there had been knocked over.
"Is Phillip…?"
Peter nodded.
Benjamin yelled up the stairs:
"Phillip, what are you doing?"
There was no answer.
"Are you okay, Phillip…?" Peter took a step up the attic ladder, un-popping the doors with one hand.
He squinted up through the dark and dust, the debris that remained of a fallen bookcase, to see Phillip standing by the open window. It was obvious that he was the one who, in anger, Peter assumed, had toppled over the bookcase with his bare hands.
On the other hand, Peter could tell that something was not right.
His brother turned to him, but Phillip's eyes were wide open and glassy.
"He's sleepwalking," Peter called down to Benjamin.
Phillip was indeed the only brother who had been burdened by this medical affliction. It did not strike him often, or hard, but Phillip had been known, in childhood, to sleepwalk when there were a lot of things on his mind…terrible things. It was the first sign of his distress.
Peter shrugged back down to Benjamin.
"You go, brother. I can deal with Phillip. I can take it from here."
Benjamin snorted.
"Yes, you seem to be the only one. Be careful, Peter."
"I will be."
"I shall be in the lounge, or with mother. I do not expect to be disturbed though, if you please."
Peter nodded and hoisted himself up into the attic, where Phillip blindly stumbled. His eyes were sorrowful and longing, yet distanced from life's entirety.
Peter knew, from a lifetime's practise, that it was bad to wake a sleepwalker and that the sleepwalker must get to the end of their episode, so he stood watching Phillip for a second and thinking. Phillip blindly turned on the spot and started to make his way towards his brother.
Peter stumbled backwards, trying to avoid Phillip's swinging arms, and made his way back down the stairs. Through every step, though, he kept an eye on his older brother. Still unsure how exactly to alert the deep slumberer, Peter suddenly found himself slipping down the rungs of the trapdoor ladder. He lost his footing and crumpled to the floor, momentarily taking his eyes away from Phillip.
In that short space of time, the sleep-worn Phillip had made his way to the trapdoor as well, but he too fell down, and just as Peter himself was getting up, the man fell flat onto his face with a bang.
Peter trembled as the upstairs lights flickered; Phillip's bad leg had caught a cable, and pulled it down with him.
The bloody body at the foot of the small steps groaned and lifted himself up, clutching at his right arm and trying to clutch at his nose too, which was pumping crimson blood down his face.
Peter's own blood chilled with fright.

I don't know which one I have to give but try and look up Tomás e Mós, that's the name I have now, or you need the steam name account? I have no idea.
Granted! This thread wont break, instead it be filled by people spamming wishes and corrupt wishes. (we kinda messed up the thread a bit now didn't we? XD)
I wish people wouldn't worry about other's opinions!
I think I'm running out of wishes. D:
Granted, everyone is completely apathetic now, and the world becomes a sad, depressed, boring place.
I wish I had a pony made of out solid diamond, that's entirely alive and functional.
Yeah, it can be hard to think of wishes at times.
Granted, but now the pony for no apparent and unexplained reason is abducted. (Golem says hi, shiny! :P)
I wish that crap didn't smell bad. *.*
Granted, fecal matter now smells like roses and sunshine, making it easy to trick people into eating it.
(Wtf, me, what's wrong with you? >.<)
I wish I had my diamond pony back.
Haha xD We both are running out of wishes and ways to corrupt wishes. xD
It's okay, it's kinda more funny this way. :P
Granted! You rescued your pony from the evil Golem! You fought a big red dragon in a cave with a lot of treasures! There was one that even made you forget your beautiful pony, the head the Cassiopeia! Obviously, you looked into her dead eyes and turned into a statue. :b
I wish I could be as fast as Flash from the Incredibles, or from the superhero universe, whatever you like. :P
Granted, you're now a rock star. You die in two hours from a crack overdose.
I wish I wasn't a statue, I'd get so stiff. (Haha!)
... :< Killing me off like that...
Granted, you're now a real person! Too bad you have no ID as a statue springing to life, and are taken custody by a shady government sub-group and experimented on.
I wish I had the same kinds of super powers they do in Chronicle (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706593/) Telekinetic and stuff.
Granted, but the government group that captured me also captures you. I requested a torture buddy, because let's be frank, that's what they'd do.
I wish we weren't getting tortured anymore.
Granted but now you're paralyzed
I wish I could never die.
Granted, but since the government released Mynta and Griev from torture, they are now looking for a new person to torture, that new person is you! Good for them, since you can't die I guess they will go over the edge to torture you. . :P
I wish that there were no murderers.
Granted, governments everywhere cease to exist, and the world attempts to fall into chaos, but even more people cease to exist, causing it to somehow become balanced, as peace and order spread upon the land.
I wish I had more tea.
Granted! You now have all the tea you want, but the tea is either super HOT or super COLD, the one you dislike the most applies. :P
I wish that every food we consumed to be tasty!
You know, that isn't really bad. I can just let it cool, or pop it in the microwave.
Granted, food is now all super tasty. So tasty, in fact, that we all eat ourselves to death. At least it was tasteful!
I wish I was actually funny.
Oh lol, that was a nice corrupt wish. :P Well atleast out deaths would be, tasteful.
Granted! You are now the funniest person on the world, so funny that you make people laugh to death! Muahahah! :P
I wish I wasn't shy so I could go to the gym when I get my own job so I can pay it for myself.... :b
Granted, now u can create live and other worlds , but everytime u do it, u kill another world, or take another life
i wish i wasnt tired tomorrow morning
granted, but since you weren't tired, you got up and went for a run. But while you were running, you got hit by a car.
i wish i had tickets to see iron maiden and free air fare to get to the concerts in England.
Granted, but the plane is hijacked and crashes into the concert, killing everyone there and on the plane.
I wish that something like that wont actually happen again in real life.

Here is a riddle for you: What is very strong and solid so as to be hard to move, yet can move easily at the same time? The answer: a champion sumo wrestler. The other answer: well-thought-out application architecture.
Why are we talking about 400-plus-pound Japanese athletes in the context of agile software development? Let me explain. In order to be successful in the ring, a sumo wrestler needs to maintain a heavy body weight and at the same time be in peak physical condition. Just as these Japanese athletes have to find the right balance through a well thought-out combination of diet and training regimen, software development organizations need a balanced approach to application architecture on agile projects.
System Design: The Winning Technique
Proponents of agile development oppose pursuing a thoroughly worked-out architecture in advance (the so-called "Big Design Up Front," or BDUF) as a feature of the traditional "waterfall" approach, the paradigm that agile was essentially created to challenge and overturn. In waterfall, the design phase of a software system follows the development of functional specifications and precedes coding. The Agile Manifesto opposes this approach and implies that self-organized teams are responsible for creating the best system design through a series of incremental steps. As the system evolves iteratively, the architecture, in turn, matures gradually throughout the development cycle. Over time, the team members' knowledge of the business and the technology grows, and they continually review and refactor the architecture. Because in most real-world situations the customers' idea of what they want from the system will change over time in response to changing market conditions and their own evolved understanding, this process serves the goal of giving customers the software they really want rather than a simply being a masterpiece of elegant, up-front design with insufficient business value.
This approach seems reasonable in that it just doesn't make much sense to invest too heavily in architecting for system behavior that can change significantly over the life of an application. Moreover, doing so is likely to give developers significant grief as they try to preserve the original design and simultaneously cope with evolving requirements. In fact, it can result in so many complex workarounds that the code may eventually become too convoluted to understand, even for the developers who wrote it.
On the other hand, if absolutely no high-level architectural decisions are made at the start, you run the risk of making the code so complicated that it will be almost impossible to maintain and extend. This would be an acceptable approach if all you want to do is whip up something relatively simple and then throw it away (e.g., a prototype or proof of concept), but attempting to build an actual shippable product this way would be a bad idea.
As an example, consider a client who wants a prototype of a web shop with a simple product database, а homepage, product pages, shopping cart, plus integrations with a payment server and a shipping service. You could implement all of that in, say, a couple of weeks as ASPX code-behind files, without being concerned about such things as presentation logic or data separation and without comprehensive testing (writing tests will be particularly challenging in this case).
After your team finishes all the workarounds and patches, you will have a prototype that can be demoed to the customer, and at this point the temptation to continue to build on top of that codebase instead of discarding the prototype and starting over may be great; after all, you have just spent time and money building the thing, and it seems to work fine! However, that would be a recipe for disaster. As soon as you start adding new features like suggested products, user-defined search filters, product reviews, etc., the numbers of similar database queries will balloon, and you will need to replicate the logic in multiple pages as well as make numerous changes to the code in many places all at once. This will lead to more defects, the entire application will have to be re-tested, and the cost of subsequent changes will continue to go up, thus completely defeating the initial purpose.

Africa's economy has grown quickly in the past decade with real GDP growing at more than 5% between 2000 and 2012. This is double the growth rate seen in the '80s and '90s for the continent. Sub-Saharan Africa has seen a stronger than average growth in GDP at 5.6% during the period compared to 4.5% in North Africa.
Intense steps to end armed conflicts, improve macro-economic conditions and undertake micro-economic reforms to create a better business climate from the African governments have increased foreign investment flows into the continent. This resulted in rapid growth in sectors such as retail, telecommunications, infrastructure and banking. Lifestyles have improved in sub-Saharan Africa as gross national income (GNI) figures expanded by more than 150% from $518 in 2003 to $1,345 in 2012.
Factors such as rising discretionary income levels, growing urbanization and rapid expansion in middle class households have prompted ambitious investment plans from global beauty players. Following L'Oréal SA (PINK:LRLCY), Estée Lauder (NYSE:EL) is beginning to invest in the continent.

The African Opportunity: Growth Prospects And Existing Challenges
Global sales for most beauty product players has been tepid due to the currency headwinds in the past year. Sales in the Asia-Pacific region are expected to be subdued due to weakness in region's economies and currency volatility. Despite a recovery in the North American and Eurozone economies in the last few months strengthening sales, high growth markets like Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa continue to be a priority for beauty product players.
Market research firm Euromonitor expects the African beauty product market to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% between 2012 and 2017, marginally trailing Latin America's growth of 5.6%. Within the African region, South Africa is the largest market for beauty products, valued at $2.1 billion. This is followed by the Nigerian beauty product market valued at $1.2 billion. While these market sizes are a far cry from the market sizes of bigger markets like India and China, impressive long term prospects in Africa combined with feeble Asian economies seem to be driving investments into the region.
The recent acquisition of Kenyan beauty product manufacturer Interconsumer Products (ICP) by L'Oréal suggests that global players are looking to expand into the African continent given its growth potential. The diversity in consumer tastes between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa would generally require a company to have an R&D division specifically for the region. However, ICP is a widely recognized beauty player in East Africa with sales in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The acquisition of ICP gives L'Oréal a chance to leverage the existing ICP distributional network and utilize its new Egypt manufacturing facility to manufacture locally relevant products without any additional capital expenditures into an R&D facility.
Currently, L'Oréal has had only hair care product such as SoftSheen-Carson and Mizani to cater for African consumers, the ICP acquisition will strengthen its skin care and hair care product portfolio.
Similarly, Estée Lauder is planning to introduce its multi-billion dollar brands Clinique and M-A-C into major African markets of Nigeria in 2013, followed by Mozambique. The prestige beauty product maker is trying to gain its footing in high growth markets by tying up with retail stores to promote its products. However, we believe the lack of proper retail base and discount chains in Africa excepting South Africa plays to the disadvantage of the company.
Additionally, Estée Lauder does not have a manufacturing facility or a research facility in the region. With consumer tastes for specific products broadening, the lack of manufacturing or research facilities could prove to be another setback to gaining market share within the region. We expect increase in pan-African market share due to existing product expansion (Clinique and M-A-C) to be marginal despite their high demand in Nigeria. However, an acquisition within the African market could help Estée Lauder make deeper in-roads into the market with lower-priced, geographically relevant products.

Bell Canada parent to buy CTV for C$1.3 billion
By Pav Jordan and Alastair Sharp
TORONTO (Reuters) - BCE Inc, Canada's largest telecommunications company, will pay C$1.3 billion ($1.26 billion) for the country's biggest private broadcaster, in a bold gamble on the future of video over the Internet.
The parent of Bell Canada said on Friday it would acquire the 85 percent of CTV that it does not already own in a deal that values the broadcaster at C$3.2 billion, including C$1.7 billion in debt.
CTV's stable of video content, including the rights to the 2012 Olympics and the Discovery Channel, will help BCE attract subscribers to its new Internet and wireless video services.
Executives of BCE and CTV said the appeal of a combination became apparent to them during last winter's Vancouver Games, where CTV was Canada's host broadcaster.
"We truly were kids in a candy store at the Olympics," BCE Chief Executive George Cope said at a conference call. "I remember coming back from Whistler to Vancouver watching the women's hockey game all the way on a handset," he added, referring to the venue where the Alpine events were held.
Cope, who shook up management after a failed leveraged buyout in 2007, has cut costs and shifted BCE's focus from landlines to satellite TV, mobile and Internet.
With the CTV deal, BCE is following an international shift within the industry. Forced to adapt to emerging technologies, carriers, media and cable companies are moving into each other's traditional domains, hoping to find new revenue streams.
BCE is buying the equity stake from the Woodbridge Co. Ltd, the Toronto-based holding company of the Thomson family; Ontario Teachers Pension Plan; and Torstar Corp, the publisher of the Toronto Star newspaper. Torstar shares jumped 20 percent on the news. Continued...

Ana: Unexplained Sequence of EventsMature
The view from the Eiffel Tower was phenomenal.
I had never seen anything like it and it honestly took my breath away. The height made me a little giddy but I felt perfectly safe with Jester standing beside me. Everything had been minimized to look like a tiny toy village. People looked like ants, buildings looked like little boxes and the trees looked like plastic decorations scattered in various places on the ground. None of it looked real and it was amazing.
'This is incredible,' I breathed, staring out at the view.
'I thought you'd like it,' Jester smiled, slipping an arm around my waist.
'I love it.'
The sky was a clear bright blue, the occasional puffy cloud rolling on by at a leisurely pace. The breeze was a little sharper all the way up here, but it was warm and it tousled my hair slightly. Jester caught a loose strand and tucked it behind my ear.
However beautiful the scenery was, and however content I should feel, there was something nagging at me. Just a strange feeling deep within me that told me something wasn't right. I didn't know what it was, but it felt like a basic instinct. An instinct that had lived within me for as long as I was alive.
'You okay?' Jester murmured.
'I don't know,' I frowned, turning round. 'I feel as though we're being watched.'
'There's no one here but us,' he pointed out.
'Yeah, that's true. It's probably nothing,' I shrugged it off.
But then why were the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end? Why did I feel eyes boring into my back? And why did I feel so damn uneasy? Someone was watching us, but who?
I pulled Jester into a hug, wrapping my arms around his waist. He let out a surprised noise before hugging me back. Keeping my mouth close to his ear, I began to whisper.
'There's someone else up here. Don't make any sudden movements.'
'What? How do you know?' he whispered back.
'I can feel it. I think it's something to do with my power.'
'Where could they be? I don't see anyone else up here but us.'
I pulled away slightly to look him in the eyes. My touch was light on the back of his neck as I kissed him. I could feel the surprise and tension in his response and moved my lips to his ear.
'They're cloaking their presence. Like Demrin did to us just before he died.'
'So what do we do?'
'We need to get out of here, but remain as calm and relaxed as possible. You can't let them know we know.'
He exhaled softly before smiling. He took my hand in his own, keeping his grip firm and protective. I only hoped that whoever the hell was watching us wouldn't pick up on this.
Jester started to lead the way into the small glass lift that would take us back down to the ground. Whilst all I felt like doing was turning to confront the stranger, I had to remain patient and completely unruffled. I didn't know what he or she was capable of, and with no witnesses, anything could happen.
The elevator ride seemed to take forever. Jester's stance beside me was rigid and firm. His head was held high and his eyes were fixed straight ahead of him. I could feel the quiet panic rolling off of him in waves and I squeezed his hand to try and reassure him everything was going to be okay. I wasn't overly sure if the stranger had left us. The feeling was still there, the feeling that we were being watched, but it wasn't as strong as before. Maybe they had stayed at the top.
Without warning, Jester was ripped from my grasp.
I didn't have time to shout as the unmistakable sound of glass smashing filled my ears. Something flew through the air. Something dark.
With sudden horror I realized it was Jester. He had been thrown out of the lift and was now falling to certain death.
My first instinct was to scream. To scream like I had never screamed before, to turn to face whatever had thrown him, to see if Jester was alive.
But my second instinct was to extend both my arms out in front of me, in roughly the spot where Jester had fallen. Something pulled down on both of my arms, something heavy that made me stagger slightly, but I held them out straight, palms facing the sky. It felt as though something had been placed in both of my hands and it needed bringing upwards. I began to raise my arms, slowly due to the weight, but with as much power as I could. I wasn't really sure what I was doing, but I couldn't stop myself either.
Seconds later, something hovered in front of the window.
I nearly lost all connection as I saw Jester suspended a hundred feet in the air, directly in front of me. I took a tentative step forwards, my feet crunching the glass scattered on the floor. Reaching one hand out of the broken window, I grasped his wrist firmly and pulled him back inside, where he collapsed on the floor.
'What...on...Earth just happened,' Jester's voice was shaking vigorously. His dark hair was windswept, sticking up in odd tufts and his eyes were wide with pure fear.
'I don't know,' I admitted, kneeling down beside him. 'Are you okay?'
'Something...something threw me. It threw me. I should be dead. What did you do Ana?'
'I don't know,' I repeated, hugging him fiercely. 'It was instinct. We need to warn the others. Something is after us.'
It wasn't until we reached the ground, to a sea of curious and startled onlookers which we immediately broke through, that Jester stopped in his steps.
'There's something... my back is stinging. Have I cut it?'
'Come on,' I pulled him to the side, away from prying eyes. 'Where abouts? You probably cut it in the fall.'
'At the bottom,' Jester turned round and I slowly lifted up the bottom of his shirt.
'Oh my God,' I whispered sharply, stepping away.
'What?! What is it?!'
'It's...it's impossible... Why you?'
'ANA! What's going on?'
'There's something on your back Jester. It looks as though it's been...carved.'
'Carved?! What does it say?'
'Y-you have the words "We're coming for you" literally cut into your back...' I stuttered through trembling lips.

Cee-Lo Green has confirmed plans to release new Gnarls Barkley music this year. The singer, rapper and soon to be reality TV star has promised "an onslaught of music" in 2014.
"I didn't realise the importance of [a new Gnarls Barkley album] or the anticipation for it until recently," Green admitted to Rolling Stone. When a reporter from TMZ last month asked him whether Gnarls Barkley were planning a return, Green replied, blearily, "Next year".
"I was a little dismissive because I [didn't] want to get involved that early," he said. "But it just kind of went like wildfire, and I was like, 'Wow, okay. People are still interested to see what we could do.' And so am I. Gnarls Barkley is an alter ego and ... if I can release singles that coexist and don't conflict with each other, then you'll hear something new from Gnarls [this year]."

Danger Mouse, the DJ/producer who consists of Gnarls Barkley's other half, has yet to comment on the reunion. He is currently promoting the second album with Broken Bells, his project with the Shins' James Mercer.
Whatever Danger Mouse's schedule is, it will have to fit within Green's busy calendar. This spring the 38-year-old is due to launch a reality series, Cee Lo Green's The Good Life, as well as a deluxe reissue of his 2013 comeback LP with Goodie Mob. Green is also prepping a fifth solo album, titled Girl Power, for release in late February or March. "I could be all artsy-fartsy describing it, but to me this is bare bones rock and roll," he said. "I feel like I'm a rock artist ... I'm alt rock. I'm indie rock. I'm punk rock ... I don't feel like I'm a pop artist."
Gnarls Barkley's first album, 2008's St Elsewhere, debuted at No 1 and sold more than three million copies worldwide. Their 2008 follow-up, The Odd Couple, peaked at No 19.

'Midnight's Children' Tweet Review: The film is full of hope
Saleem Sinai would narrate a story that throws a new light on Indian social fabric.
New Delhi: Deepa Mehta is going to face the same problem in 'Midnight's Children' that most of the directors encounter while adapting a book for the visual medium. Salman Rushdie is known for the touch of magical realism in his writing which can be a tough thing to translate on screen.
If the film is going to be true to the homonymous novel then it would portray the post independence scenario in India where Saleem Sinai would narrate a story that throws a new light on Indian social fabric.
Some religious and political organisations have problems from the film, which ranges from depiction of Indira Gandhi to the portrayal of religious symbols, but Deepa Mehta has always taken a stand against intolerance, so we can hope for a brave film from her.
The film stars Satya Bhabha, Shriya Saran, Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi and Seema Biswas in important roles, while Rahul Bose will be seen in a cameo.
We can always expect a sensible film from the director of 'Fire', '1947 Earth' and 'Water'.
Rohit Vats of IBNLive live tweeted the experience of 'Midnight's Children'.

~ Preface ~
To travel the lands of the Kindgom is no easy task, for even the the highest hands of the Anstian Monarchy do not point fingers at such places on the map. Ever since the Necromancer was banished and the Anstian Kingdom was formed, these lands reek of foul creatures, lining its forests and rivers and the deepest of valleys to the highest of peaks.
The lands of the ancients were cursed by the hands of the Necromancer. These wicked creatures, spawns of ill spoken word — They remain. A shameful reminder that man should hold his tongue. No matter the case, I write this text to shed light on such a dark and decrepit reality. Hopefully to give the adventurous traveler foresight on their travels.
—Dansil Murko, of The Beshmere Arm
Balamor went through the fine cloth-like pages, taking notes as his eyes scoured the contents. He copied the names and descriptions of the dark creatures, focused on learning as much as he could about them. Fine oil painted illustrations of each subject gave him chills but his concentration was unbothered.
He transferred the contents to his notebook rather quickly, making sure to pluck out the important bits he would need for the journey. But he couldn't help himself to reading up on a few subjects which piqued his curiosity. Nearly an hour went by before he was complete with his research.
The first of the demented beasts Balamor noted was a Wolf which stood even taller than Awkid, it's brown fur seemed slick with a pitch black muck. Bright yellow eyes and a smoke filled mouth seemed to leap off the page from behind the painting of a tree.
Tarr Wolves:
These rabid beasts roam the darkest of the southern forests. I've come across quite a few in my time and it wasn't long before my axe split through their frail carcasses. They are much less a fight then they are intimidating. To take one down isn't a matter of strength but dexterity, you must be able to find them. Look for their eyes, they glow a bright yellow; rarely are they easy to find.
Balamor scribbled down the authors accounts with the Tarr Wolves, even making his own sketches of the paintings in the book. He was conscious of the danger in the world around him even more now than during his time in the Rhael. He never imagined such monstrous beings shared the Southland with him, lurking in uncharted lands.

Should you get Rhinoplasty or lip lift if you have keloid skin? (photos)
I have keloid skin and don't want a bad scar under my nose what are my opinions?
Doctor Answers 2
The risk of keloid scarring from open rhinoplasty is quite low, if with higher risk individuals. That said, identifying other areas of the body such as the chest, back, or ears can be helpful in assessing your risk.My advice is to consult with an experienced board-certified surgeon.Best of luck!
Web reference: http://drwisenose.com/
Keloid or Not?
In your photos, I can not see if you have pierced ears. If your ears are pierced and you have no issues with keloid scarring, that is indicative of someone who can likely have an open rhinoplasty. Of course you must meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this and to be evaluated, but it is a good rule of thumb.

After showing more journalists around its solar-powered North Carolina data center (where it is building a third solar farm), Apple says that its new focus for renewable energy is its supply chain. The Guardian reports that the sapphire factory in Arizona forms part of this initiative.
The company is also moving to install solar and geothermal power at a plant in Mesa, Arizona that has been manufacturing sapphire glass. Apple would not directly comment on the Arizona factory but the state's governor, Jan Brewer, has publicly praised the company's decision to relocate there and to use solar and geothermal in manufacturing.
Apple's VP of environmental initiatives Lisa Jackson said that the company is conscious that its supply chain cannot claim the same green credentials as Apple itself … expand full story

Peter Hill
Specialty: Battle of Gettysburg
Appeared: Episode 4, 01/03/2009
1400 points
Peter is a marketing consultant from Research in Victoria, who enjoys collecting Japanese Anime and the cartoons of Chuck Jones. He often plays computer games that are based on the battles of the civil war so he can get a sense and feel for the battles.
- The battle of Gettysburg started when the Southern Unit went to the town of Gettysburg, believing the town had a supply of shoes. The Southern Unit were unaware that the Northern Army was also approaching the town and ran into them by accident.
- Only one civilian died during the three day battle, an amazing feat considering the battle was fought in the town on the first day, and continued to be fought around the town and at local farms for another two days.
- General Meade, the Commander of the Northern Army had been in command only four days when the battle began.
- The Commanding Generals of both armies initially did not want to fight the battle at Gettysburg, but subordinate commanders on both sides committed the armies into the battle.
- The battle of Gettysburg holds the record for the greatest number of men engaged on American soil.

When his parents are murdered by an intergalactic criminal, Daniel X vows to take on his father's role as Earth's sole Alien Hunter. Life isn't easy, though, when you're a young boy on your own, tracking down the galaxy's deadliest outlaws. Luckily, Daniel has a gift: the ability to create anything he can imagine - including his parents, his sister, and his best friends, who are there to help him along the way. But when Daniel decides to go up against the sixth-deadliest criminal on his hit list, he may find that even his awesome abilities just aren't up to the task!
Michael Ledwidge is the son of Irish parents and was born and raised in the Bronx. A graduate of Manhattan College, he is married and has two children.
As the co-author of a series of some of James Patterson's most profitable books to date, Ledwidge has risen from an admired but, it's fair to say, mostly unread author, to co-writing some of the most widely read books in the world.
James Patterson has had more New York Times bestsellers than any other writer, ever, according to Guinness World Records. Since his first novel won the Edgar Award in 1977 James Patterson's books have sold more than 300 million copies. He is the author of the Alex Cross novels, the most popular detective series of the past twenty-five years, including Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. He writes full-time and lives in Florida with his family.

Morning Cattle Market Report
Extreme heat across the eastern 2/3 of the US is likely hurting beef demand at what should be a one of the highest consuming periods of the year. This could pressure the closer-in contracts of cattle, even with concerns that the heat is hindering animal weight gain. The positive trade in other commodity markets and a jump in the stock market provided a bullish tilt to cattle futures for a moderately higher close on Tuesday, and further gains in the stock market overnight following a Chinese rate cut could lend support as well, but our concern is that reduced demand due to the heat could dominate the trade today. Boxed beef cutout values were down 89 cents at mid-session on Tuesday and closed $1.41 lower at $193.22. This was down from $197.74 the prior week and was the lowest level for the cutout since May 18th. Traders await cash live cattle activity this week after $116.00 trade last week. A lower showlist might normally support the cash market, but traders are concerned about packer demand. The August contract's premium to last week's cash trade may also be seen as a short-term negative factor. The estimated cattle slaughter came in at 129,000 head on Tuesday. This brings the total for the week so far to 255,000 head, down from 257,000 for the same period last week. The longer term outlook is for tighter supply into the fall, but near term demand concerns due to the hot weather could keep a lid on the market for now. Fourth quarter beef production is expected to come in 9.2% below last year according to the recent supply/demand update from the USDA. One positive is that restocking after the power outages on the East Coast could become a positive force for the beef market by next week.

as the default video output driver. Note: this mode could give problems
with some graphic cards (specially ATI), if you experience any, try the
other gl variants, or just directx.
* (Linux) Added a fix for a black screen problem when using Compiz.
* Added an option to select the number of threads that mplayer will use for
decoding (only works for MPEG-1/2 and some H.264 videos).
* Added the possibility to disable the audio equalizer. Seems to be necessary
to use the S/PDIF output.
* Added some options to increase/decrease the speed by 1% and 4%. This allows
to play 24 fps movies at 25 fps speed and vice versa.
* Fix: sometimes the playlist is not shown. Added a workaround for the problem.

* (Windows) Added a new submenu Video->Screen to select the screen which will
display the video when using directx.

rotate the subtitles along with the image.

editor in preferences.

* The single instance port can now be chosen automatically by the application.
* Possibility to compile a portable version which (by default) won't write anything outside the smplayer's folder. It won't write either anything in the Windows registry. See Portable_Edition.txt for details.
* Added the Slovenian translation.
Version 0.6.1.
Most important changes since 0.6.0 final:
* Now compact mode resizes the window, instead of leaving black borders.

* (Windows) Fix: zoom didn't work well (black blocks appeared) if using
* Added the Catalan translation.
Version 0.6.0 final.
Most important changes since 0.6.0rc4:
* (Bugfix) Two mplayer processes were run when opening a file. This could
even make Aero in Windows Vista to be disabled.
* Seeking with the time slider works much better.

* Added a preferences dialog for the playlist.
* The right mouse button can be configured.

* Some translations have been updated (Simplified-Chinese, Italian,
Ukrainian, Dutch, French, Romanian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese,
Spanish and German)

if using mplayer 1.0rc2 or older.

the recent's menu.
* (Bugfix) When using the command line options -send-action or -actions,
some actions like aspect_4:3 didn't work.
* Initial support for edl files. If a file with the same name of the file
to play but with extension .edl (or .EDL) exists, then smplayer will load
it automatically. An edl file allows to skip or mute parts of the video.

added to the playlist. This option is enabled by defaul on linux and
disabled on windows (it's slow in this OS).
* Added in Preferences->General->Video an option to select the default
* Added support for the mouse's buttons XButton1 and XButton2.
* Some new options have been added to the list of available actions for
mouse buttons.
* Possibility to merge the 6 seeking buttons in the GUI into only two.
It would only show the "rewind 10 secs" and "forward 10 secs" buttons.
Keeping them pressed for a moment would popup menu with the rest of the
buttons. This option is DISABLED by default and currently it can only be
enabled at compile time changing the MINI_ARROW_BUTTONS define in
src/guiconfig.h before compiling.
Most important changes since 0.6.0rc2:
* (Windows) Enqueuing multiple files in smplayer should work ok now even
if smplayer is not running.
* Added new menu Video->Rotate, with options to rotate the image.
* Added new option Play->Jump to, which will show a dialog where you can
enter the position (time) to jump.
* Added two new options in the Subtitles menu: "Enable closed caption" and
"Forced subtitles only".
* The software equalizer should work now with gl, gl2 and directx:noaccel.

* Added help for all options in the preferences dialog.
* New error dialog which will be shown if mplayer crashes, fails to start
or finishes unexpectedly.
* SMPlayer will try to use xv (or directx in windows) as default.
* Added two new translations: Macedonian and Basque.
This version includes some bugfixes.
Most important changes since 0.6.0rc1:
* Fix for relative paths to the mplayer binary. The problem could cause that smplayer couldn't play anything if a directory or file named "mplayer" existed in the home directory.
* The option Play -> Repeat has been improved.
* The selection of chapters in mkv files didn't work well if using a recent mplayer from svn. This has been fixed now.
* (Windows) Bugfix: the buttons to select the font color in Preferences->Subtitles->SSA/ASS didn't show the color.
* (Windows) Now the screensaver should be disabled even if protected by password (tested on Windows XP).
* (Windows) Bugfix: don't try to convert to 8.3 short names files that don't exist. That could cause that URLs were corrupted.
SMPlayer is a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos, DVDs, VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters, edl lists, and more.
Most important changes since 0.5.62:
* Added support for pls playlist files.
* Better accuracy on subtitle selection. Fixes problems with mp4 embedded
subtitles. Requires mplayer svn r25158 or above.
* Now the screensaver and powersave on Windows is really turned off, even on
Windows Vista.
* The cache setting is independent for each type of media.
* Added an option which allows to fix the problem of loud volume on startup
(requires a patched mplayer).
* (Windows) The file associations code has been improved. Now it should work
better in Windows Vista as well as other versions of Windows.
* New option Video->Add black borders, which replaces the letterbox options
in Video->Aspect ratio.
* (Windows) Work-around for a mplayer bug: now filenames with characters
outside the local codepage can be opened, by passing to mplayer the short
version of the filename. This can be enabled in Preferences->Advanced.
* Now the H.264 loop filter can be disabled for High Definition videos only
(720p and above).
* Possibility to update the video while dragging the time slider.
* New icons for the default theme.
* SSA/ASS subtitles can also be resized during playback. Requires at least
mplayer r25843.
* Now it's possible to zoom out the video image.
* New Help->About dialog.
* New option Help->FAQ which will show the FAQ.
* Bugfix: the colorkey is passed properly to mplayer.
* Added the Finnish and the Korean translations.
Time changes and people too...
It's time for RVM (the project leader) to be helped and that's why we are here.
We're doing some reorganization about all the project : new website soon, wiki for developers/helpers, and more...
So stay connected ;)

(Soundbite of song, "Down By the Water")
Mr. PAUL CURRERI (Musician): (Singing) Just beside the high beams, this side of darkness. It's all still (unintelligible) down by the water.
LIANE HANSEN, host:
That's a song called "Down By the Water," by a young musician named Paul Curreri. It's on his album, "California," which comes out this month. Now, Paul Curreri is married to Devon Sproule. She's a musician, too. And as it happens, her new album also just came out.
(Soundbite of song, "Good to Get Out")
Ms. DEVON SPROULE (Musician): (Singing) Good to get out of the house. It's good to get out of the house. It feels so good.
HANSEN: That's a song called "Good to Get Out," on Devon Sproule's album, "Don't Hurry For Heaven." We visited the husband and wife musicians in Charlottesville, Virginia, where they make their home. It's also where they met, when Devon was 18 years old and playing a show in town.
Ms. SPROULE: And I was playing my last song, and it was a Johnny Cash tune, and all of a sudden, there was this dude on stage with me. It was kind of a high stage. You know, he had to climb onto it.
Mr. CURRERI: I hadn't quite moved yet to Charlottesville and was working a catering gig that night, and some people asked if I wanted to go hear Devin Sproule. And so I had investigated in the papers who was on the music scene, and I saw that she was only like 18, and I said, I don't want to go hear that. She's 18 years old, that's her whole bag, I bet.
And they said, have you ever heard her? She's kind of good. So they dragged me, and I walked in and I thought: my goodness, you're kind of cute. And then the next thing I thought was, hey, I know that song. I don't know, something propelled me onto that stage, and I think it was more than whiskey.
Ms. SPROULE: And since then, I've seen him propel himself onto many other stages with many other total strangers. So, although I think it's a very romantic way to meet, I know that he just happens to be that kind of dude, also.
HANSEN: Well, you both have new albums, and they are being released pretty much within weeks of one another. Is this coincidence or serendipity?
Mr. CURRERI: It is coincidence, and it's almost an unfortunate one. Devon and I have been married about five years and somehow have always just managed to not be broke at the same time. And nothing can make you broke like releasing an album. The money does come back in, but that first bit, so having to do it at the same exact time hasn't been absolutely ideal. But what can you do?
HANSEN: Right. Well, we want to hear you play a little bit from your respective CDs, and Devon, I'd like to start with you. You're actually going to play the title tune. Is it "I Don't Hurry for Heaven" or "Don't Hurry for Heaven"?
Ms. SPROULE: It's "Don't Hurry for Heaven," and it'll kind of explain itself a little bit, what that...
Mr. CURRERI: It's more of a command than a confession.
(Soundbite of laughter)
HANSEN: All right. We'll hear it. This is Devon Sproule, playing "Don't Hurry for Heaven" from her latest CD of the same name.
(Soundbite of song, "Don't Hurry for Heaven")
Ms. SPROULE: (Singing) I don't believe that you should believe in heaven anymore. The way that you're going, I'm afraid of you floating away. And if it's forever, then you've got forever to get there. Oh, don't hurry for heaven while I'm taking care of you here.
Baby, you've got a body worth more than its lot of admiring. I'm talking about studies and statues, I've not found a match for you yet. But if you keep on living like you've been living, darlin', who's to say. Don't hurry for heaven. My darlin', don't hurry away.
Tell it on the mountain, and tell it 'cross the sea. Tell them all you're coming home to me.
Well, I've heard that the curves of a guitar are like the curves of a woman, and you can tell a true player by his want to get better, they say. So if you love me even half as much as you love your old Martin, you should be practicing on me just about...
Tell it on the mountain. Tell it 'cross the sea. Tell them all you're coming home to me.
HANSEN: Devon Sproule, playing and singing in her living room the song she wrote for new CD, the title tune in fact, called "Don't Hurry for Heaven."
I have to comment on the lyric: the curves of a woman are like the curves of a guitar - that's in reverse, actually. If you love me half as much as you love your old Martin, you should be practicing on me just about every day.
Your husband Paul is sitting next to you, he's also a musician, and I can't help but notice the man has a Martin guitar.
(Soundbite of laughter)
HANSEN: Is there something autobiographical being written there?
Ms. SPROULE: Well, let's just say that we don't - we're not always sitting next to each other when we play and certainly not when we write, although, you know, aspects of our life are very - you know, maybe inspire...
Mr. CURRERI: I wasn't offended.
Ms. SPROULE: No, no not at all. I'm - he's the much more prolific one. So I finish a song, and he's happy for me no matter, no matter what's on it.
Mr. CURRERI: No matter if it's chastising me or not.
HANSEN: Paul, before you sing the title track to your new CD, "California," this was a long, hard road to this album with you. You couldn't sing for a while. What happened?
Mr. CURRERI: Oh, well, yeah, I hurt one of my vocal cords, and it took me off the road for over a year. Basically, I quit smoking, and it turns out that you can damage your vocal chords right after that pretty easily because they expand in their newfound health, which for most people, that's wonderful news.
But I was dismayed because I had a hometown show, which are the only ones that ever make me nervous. And so I spent the whole day singing a Lucinda Williams song called "Fruits of my Labor," which is this real barker, kind of yeller, to, quote, rough up my voice. And it did, and the show went fine, but then I couldn't speak for about two months, and then I eventually canceled the same American tour three times over, and eventually, I decided that I had to stop.
But it was, like, one of the best years of my life this past year, with the exception of that one single, enormous compromise. There was, like, hardly any other compromises in my daily life. I rode the motorcycle through the mountains a whole lot and produced some records for other people, including Devon.
HANSEN: Well, this is Paul Curreri with the title tune from his new album, and it's called "California."
(Soundbite of song, "California")
Mr. CURRERI: (Singing) Too few folks know how fun it is to believe an invisible self like this. There's too few folks know how fun it is, to believe an invisible self like this. So I'm gonna drink wine 'til I can see the great beyond in the room with me in California, California, California.
To burn that bridge, man, and bet that farm, there's a risk of loss when one wants this heart. To drift among all the untied knots, to get your passport stamped where your heroes got caught out in California, California, California, California.
HANSEN: That's Paul Curreri playing "California," the title tune from his new CD. Paul, that tune, you know, you were talking about California in a way that's sort of - be careful what you wish for kind of mode. It's not the place you think it is.
Mr. CURRERI: Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't, but I don't want to investigate and see that it isn't.
Ms. SPROULE: Who wants to go out to California and go broke trying to live by the beach? And we do like it here a lot, you know.
HANSEN: Have you ever considered performing together? I mean, I don't know, calling yourself Sprouleri or...
Mr. CURRERI: I think it would be Curroule because it has to start with mine.
(Soundbite of laughter)
HANSEN: Now I can see why you wouldn't form a bad.
Ms. SPROULE: We have done, like, a duet concert in our hometown every year for Valentine's Day, pretty low-pressure, you know, thing for our families and friends. Because we both like our own music and our own songs, and we like working on it by ourselves and all this stuff, and we like touring by ourselves, I think the only way we would do that is if somebody was like: listen, I'm going to record, you know, you guys playing together, and then I'm going to promote it as, like, these two artists coming together and blah, blah, blah, and we're going to make money, I'd be, like: Oh, okay.
Mr. CURRERI: I think that'll happen eventually one day.
HANSEN: Thank you so much for inviting us to your home to listen to you play for us.
Mr. CURRERI: Thank you, Liane.
Ms. SPROULE: It was such a pleasure.
HANSEN: You are going to play something together for us, and this is not on either one of your two albums, but it's a chance for us to hear you both. Devon Sproule and Paul Curreri with "I Want to Die in My Shoes."
(Soundbite of song, "I Want to Die in My Shoes")
Mr. CURRERI and Ms. SPROULE: Lord, over to the great beyond. I'm a half a man, and I'm half...

VPS Has Great Growth Potential
There's a good reason virtual private servers (VPSs) have skyrocketed in popularity, and are now touted as one of the most marketable of options: They have nearly limitless growth potential. Ask a webmaster (who actually knows what he or she is doing) and they'll recommend VPS for the average online business. You get all the benefits of a dedicated server, but none of the high costs. When you partition a physical server into a multitude of separate, virtual servers, you're basically getting "your own" dedicated server along with the exclusive applications that come with it.
Your VPS has its own OS that operates from a hosting server—and it's all yours. Scalability is relatively easy with VPS. You can scale up or down as you wish, and there's no need to ask permission, submit a ticket to a help desk or depend on anyone else to take care of it. Each VPS can be rebooted on their own, and separately programmed to run server software. If your business or website is slated for big growth spurts, you have big website traffic shifts, or you depend on complex applications, VPS is the answer.
Sharing isn't Caring
Unfortunately, the vast majority of small to mid-sized businesses are still using basic shared hosting plans. If your business is successful, you'll eventually outgrow this approach. Switching to a VPS is quick and easy—you may not even need to switch hosting providers. Plus, as you learn more about how your website really operates, you might find that there are too many restrictions with shared hosting plans. Shared hosting can have other people hogging the resources, you have to ask permission for just about everything and customizations are few and far between.
VPS lets you enjoy a flexible option that's user-friendly, budget-friendly and safe. A VPS can be the perfect match for just about any kind of website. It's flexible, which for many website owners is the biggest plus of all. You get flexibility when running analytics as well as with resource utilization. You're not competing for resources with anybody else, which allows for more elasticity. VPS is also a secure option, even though you're technically sharing that one tangible server with other clients. When the server is partitioned into VPSs, the security features don't face any higher risks. You'll get an isolated virtual server that's the same security as an isolated physical server.
Staying in Control
Want complete control over your server? VPS makes that happen. However, it's still a very economical choice—in fact; many VPS packages are the exact same price point as a basic shared plan. It's the most cost-effective solution on the market; you get more disc capacity and the bandwidth is unlimited without tacking on added costs. Finally, a big perk is all those extra features you get. Activate them immediately, enjoy great customer service, and take advantage of interactive teaching modules and plenty of online support networks.
VPS is all about growth, which is in keeping with your business. Why setting for anything less?
