Disaster for the Hurricanes was jubilation for the Blues whose 34-20 win in Wellington seemed justified after a controversial penalty try threatened to scupper a feel good story.
Two try hero Frank Halai was the central character in a match that fell short of the exciting New Zealand conference opener in Dunedin, but had plenty of talking points.
None more so than the penalty try awarded to the Hurricanes after television match official (TMO) Vicent Munro ruled Halai had deliberately batted the ball dead in the 55th minute.
The wing must have felt terrible as he trudged to the sin bin and the Hurricanes took a 20-16 lead, but he need not have worried.
The Hurricanes spent the night trying to implode and did so over the next 20 minutes with handling errors, missed tackles and loose passes frustrating their efforts.
This was the Blues' night from the moment Piri Weepu took the field ahead of the teams with his two daughters in his arms, one in Hurricanes colours, one in Blues.
It was Weepu who had the final say, banging over his fourth penalty on full time rendering his four misses irrelevant as coach John Kirwan celebrated in the coaching box.
Halai was smiling by then too after coming back on to score the match-sealing try with five minutes to go and after lock Jeremy Thrush's ill-advised pass had been intercepted by George Moala.
The Hurricanes were still in the match with a 20-19 lead with 20 minutes to play, but received a killer blow when Blues centre Rene Ranger danced through opposite Conrad Smith.
Ranger's try gave the Blues their third lead of the match and also put Smith out of the match, with the Hurricanes captain off clutching his face.
Everybody will be hoping it is not related to the detached retina he had fixed last year.
Smith will be livid at the handling errors, missed opportunities and aimless kicks that marked the Hurricanes first hit out of the season and so will the 10,662 who turned up to a match that took forever to get going.
Halai's sinbinning was the spark. He was rightly penalised but a penalty try seemed harsh.
It threatened to take the wind out of the visitor's sails, but second five eighth Frances Sail responded with a clean break and his teammates followed.
It was captain Ali Williams who threw the final pass to Halai and it was senior man Weepu and first five eighth Chris Noakes who kept the ship steady.
The Blues had struggled in the first half and trailed 13-11, but started the second with a 10 minute assault on the goal line, turning down a shot at goal and then hammering away until fullback Charles Piutau found himself unmarked out wide.
Earlier, Halai had scored the opener for the Blues and opposite Julian Savea for the Hurricanes.
Creating width was clearly the plan for the Hurricanes who did a nice job of stretching the Blues defence, but would have been frustrated at a yield of just one try before the break.
The Blues much talked about fitness paid dividends as they covered up holes and soaked up pressure behind a big territorial disadvantage.
But the home side had their chances, line breaks from Smith, Alapati Leiua and TJ Perenara all ending with frustrating turnovers as the Blues hung on.
They had hope in the form of the opening try to Halai, which was created by his wing partner Moala who ran over the top of Smith before off loading to create the space on 20 minutes.
It was a short-lived lead with the Hurricanes converting a Thrush lineout take before swift hands from Victor Vito and Andre Taylor allowed Savea to finish in the corner.
Barrett's sideline conversion put the Hurricanes up 13-8 before Weepu closed out the half with a long range penalty.
The Blues host the Crusaders next week, while the Hurricanes head to Brisbane to play the Reds.
Hurricanes 20 (Julian Savea, Penalty try, Beauden Barrett 2 pen, 2 cons) vs Blues 34 (Frank Halai 2, Charles Piutau, Rene Ranger tries, Piri Weepu 4 pens, con). HT: 13-11 Hurricanes

why does AN ENTHALPY CHANGE SHOW A POSITIVE sign in endothermic reaction and a negative signin exothermic reaction?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In thermodynamics, exothermic and endothermic are used to define the direction or flow of energy in a system. Exothermic or outside heating is the process of releasing energy out of the system. In other words, exothermic reaction produces heat and sometimes can be explosive. Endothermic on the other hand is a process where in a system absorbs energy from the surrounding in the form of heat.
They are forms of energy but they have different direction in relevance to a system so there is a need to differentiate them.
For formal notations, endothermic reaction will have a positive sign or `Delta H > 0` , and exothermic will have a negative sign or `Delta H < 0` .

Miss Edison and the Class of 6B
"This is the moment you've been waiting for," Miss Edison whispered.
The whole class were absolutely silent. New teachers could be unpredictable; and certainly not one of them had seen Miss Edison before. They would have remembered surely; a woman who towered so high above even the tallest; the grey dress that swung and rippled and seemed to hang from empty shoulders; that cap of grey hair like smooth velvet above a long and startlingly pale face. They knew she was called Miss Edison as it was printed on the board behind her in vast white letters that stretched from end to end. No one dared say anything – not even Ben Summers, the class bad-boy; not even Lydia Hale, for whom talking was like breathing. Such was the strange power in Miss Edison's ghost-grey eyes.
"This is your last year," she continued, still in the same low voice. Tom Gregory, always clumsy, managed to drop his sharpener which bounced and skittered over the wooden floor. Miss Edison shot a glance in his direction and he wilted in his chair, his face as red as his school sweater.
"Your last chance to get things RIGHT!" she concluded suddenly, ending with a shout so loud Lewis Jameson and Anna Vaughan almost wet their pants with fright, while the rest of the class quailed and trembled like river-rushes in a breeze.
"I know," Miss Edison said in sepulchral tones, her voice chilling and the class all felt as if her eyes penetrated their darkest, most hidden thoughts. "You have not done your best. I know that you can work harder. HARDER! You, Ellen Thornton!" she pointed with a finger as thin as a bone and Ellen quaked beneath its terrifying aspect. "Ellen; I KNOW you only did two hours work on your project on the Egyptians." Her finger travelled the room searching out the shivering, wretched children, who stared at it like rabbits caught in the headlights of a Monster Truck. "Suresh Advani; I KNOW you spend all your maths lessons doodling Spiderman pictures in the margins! Charlotte Mason; I KNOW you spend at least an hour a day daydreaming! Matilda Pesticcio; I KNOW you only revised for one hour for that spelling test! Edward Yu; I KNOW you can't keep still for more than half an hour!"
Miss Edison placed both her long pale hands on the desk and swelled her empty shoulders until they met her ears and she seemed to hover above them like a giant grey crow.
"THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" she roared, and all the children jumped as if they had been simultaneously shot by twenty-five air-gun pellets.
"This disgraceful behaviour will not continue while you are in my class. You will all do your utmost. Your UTMOST! You will not laze or shirk your sums. You will not say; I can do this tomorrow. You will not daydream or doodle or fidget. IS THAT CLEAR!"
The children nodded slowly, mouths wide open, eyes starting out of their heads. Miss Edison smiled; it was not a nice smile.
"You see," she said softly. "I really do have eyes in the back of my head."
"6B seemed to have calmed down quite a lot," observed Miss Marchant to Mr Oliver at break-time.
"Yes," Mr Oliver agreed. "Miss Edison must be very good. Mrs Appas was telling me about the glowing references she brought with her. But I've never heard of any of the places she's taught. Where's Diss? Is that somewhere in the North East?"

Raising Happiness
Join the Summer Book ClubJune 23, 2010 | Book Club | 0 comments
Read Raising Happiness – the book! – with BookSnob's Katy Keim.
This summer, as we try to unplug a bit, I'm hoping to do a bit more reading. If you were thinking of reading my book Raising Happiness this summer, I welcome you to join our summer book club, run by Katy Keim of BookSnob.
This book club commentary and discussion first ran on Motherese, so you might want to check out the comments there, or Motherese blogger Kristen's weekly posts related to the book club. Here's how we'll be hosting the club: Each Thursday, we'll post Katy's review of the week's chapter, followed by a discussion question or two.
Even if you aren't reading along, we hope you'll join the conversation by responding to the postings. What came to mind as you read the chapter being discussed, or Katy's review? You can subscribe to the comments thread for each posting and jump in.
Starting next week, we'll discuss Chapter 1, then go from there, one chapter per week. This might seem like a pretty slow way to get through a book this summer, but Raising Happiness really isn't one of those books that is meant to be read and acted on all at once. Better to discuss one concept at a time.
Next week at this time, we'll get started. So head to your local library and check out a copy of Raising Happiness, or buy a copy here and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Greater Good Science Center.

Belly button piercing after a mini tummy tuck, belly button untouched? (Photo)
A few days ago I had a mini tummy tuck. I've always wanted my naval pierced but I've never felt comfortable enough to do it. Now I'm feeling super great and want to go for it! I realize I need to wait but I'm curious about how long should I wait? My belly button wasn't touched, my incision is real low (as you guys know :D).
Doctor Answers 2
Thank you for your question. You can pierce your belly button at anytime butit strongly recommend to wait 3 months post op before doing anything that specific to your body. Best of luck

The pricey sea view that doesn't last for long
You see the artist's impression of the new development offering lovely sea views and hand over a fat cheque to secure the flat. It could be money down the drain.
A green group warns that sales brochures often carry misleading images that tempt buyers into spending hundred of thousands of dollars extra for a view that will not last for long.
Green Sense says people are usually kept in the dark about how the area around an estate will be developed. Artists' impressions usually skip unfavourable details.
'Buyers will have their dreams shattered once they move in,' said president Roy Tam Hoi-pong.
A recent brochure for Lake Silver - a Sino Land estate in Ma On Shan - shows graphics of flats enjoying sea views and a backdrop of hills. But the view on most floors could be blocked by another estate, Henderson Land's Lok Wo Sha development.
Mr Tam said once Henderson reached a deal with the government on land premium, it could build at least 21 residential buildings.
According to a master layout plan submitted by the developer to the Town Planning Board, they will be between 10 and 32 floors. As the Lake Silver will reach 38 to 46 floors, most of its seas views would be blocked.
A Lake Silver flat on the 29th floor costs HK$3.57 million if facing the sea; HK$3.2 million if not. Sino Land did not respond to an inquiry by the South China Morning Post yesterday.
On the same estate, blocks furthest from the sea were usually sold first, Mr Tam said. This meant the developer could claim they had a sea view, although buildings built later would block the views.
Green Sense has demanded that developers include photographs of the surroundings of estates in their sales brochures, and that development plans within 200 metres of the estate should be revealed to buyers.
Lawmaker Alan Leong Kah-kit suggested the government build a three-dimensional model for the whole of Hong Kong, following Shanghai's lead, as a guide to density for potential buyers.
A spokesman for the Transport and Housing Bureau said sales brochures should include an approved outline zoning plan. The brochure for Lake Silver included such a plan, indicating development at Lok Wo Sha.

Transgene and Vivalis to Evaluate MVA Vaccine Production in EB66 Duck Stem Cell Line
Transgene and Vivalis signed a commercial license and collaboration agreement to develop a process using the latter's EB66® cell line for the manufacture of Transgene's MVA-based therapeutic vaccines. Transgene currently has three MVA vaccines in late-stage clinical development against cancer and infectious diseases.
The candidates are currently manufactured in chicken embryo fibroblasts. Transgene says, though, that it is looking for alternative manufacturing options with a view to significantly expanding its manufacturing infrastructure over the coming years.
Vivalis's duck embryonic stem cells-derived EB66 cell lines are available through research and commercial licenses, for the production of viral vaccines, virosomes, VLPs, and recombinant proteins, including monoclonal antibodies. The firm already has some 30 active licenses in place for the cell line, including four signed during 2011.
Just last month the firm granted a commercial license to Japan's animal vaccines firm Kyoto Biken Laboratories, for use of the cell line to produce a veterinary vaccine. EB66-based vaccines are already in clinical trials in the U.S. and Japan.

State will help Kroger employees By ROSE MARIE EASH Staff Writer The Alamo Area Council of Governments will be chi hand to help any local Kroger employees who may be displaced if and when Kroger pulls out of the San Antonio area. ■ See employees' reac-According to ti 2 Catanno Delga- _ do, Employment TEC, JTPA, AACOG stand by to help employees bounce back and Training Area Operations Coordinator for AACOG, the 60 day notice given to Kroger employees is often given to meet state-mandated requirements. "Kroger reports it to the state department of commerce that has a department called the Rapid Response program," said Delgado. "Once they get that notice they contact the employer and set up appointments to come in and provide orientation to personnel who may be laid off. They will tell the employees what employment and training programs are available under the Title III dislocated worker program." The Title III program serves dislocated workers or those who have been laid off. The Rapid Response team will work with the local AACOG office to provide an orientation to the employees on what employment and training services are available in this area. "They will be getting a detailed orientation," Delgado said. "But those who want to get a head start and want to see what services might be available through our programs are welcome to call us even now." Delgado said the usual process calls for the Rapid Response team to contact the employer and set up a schedule for meetings between die employer and the Job Training Partnership Act team. The employer and JTPA then set up a schedule for meetings with the employees so that every shift is covered and all employees are provided with information on the JTPA programs. "A lot of times what happens is that Uiey give us 60 days notice even though they're not positive because they want to make sure they meet the requirements of the law," said Delgado. "At Ran dolph they had about 22 people laid off, an orientation was done and just before they were laid off they were told they would be retained." The Texas Employment Commission is also prepared to help any employees who may be affected by Kroger's decision. "We intend to be working with AACOG to provide what services we can to the displaced personnel," said Ken Frazer, Texas Employment Commission supervisor in New Braunfels. "That was a sixty day notice and they're out looking for buyers now but we will be here to help if they need us." Frazer said TEC would help anyone displaced find another job or file for unemployment. He said they would be working with Kroger to provide services on site. Summer fun!

Commissioners discuss upgrading job desciptions at county dispatch office By ROSE MARIE EASH Staff Writer_ Upgrading some job descriptions in the Comal County Dispatch Office was the subject of some discussion recently among Comal County Commissioners. Sheriff Jack Bremer is requesting that the positions be changed from a Level 6 to a Level 8 with appropriate salary increases. "I keep losing dispatchers," said Bremer. "Since 1989, I've lost 22. It takes eight weeks lo vain someone the first year. All we're doing is training people and then they're going somewhere else. Everyone pays more — the only people who pay less than we do is Guadalupe County." Bremer asked that commissioners have a desk audit done to verify the responsibility and justify the higher level requested. "I certainly don't disagree with looking at individual positions and upgrading, but I don't support looking at them one at a time because of the morale issue," said County Judge Carter Casteel. "During budget time department heads may re-evaluate jobs this summer — they'll justify any changes they want to make and we'll know what dollars we have available." Also, independent of that, a meeting about this kind of review will be held pretty soon for all department heads" she said. "We've tried to adjust the inequities, but before we do anything else we have to look at what we have lo spend. We're not going to raise taxes — I think that's a general consensus of the court." AARP combating high insurance rates for senior citizens From *taff reports According to Jim Mooney, a spokesperson for the American Association of Retired Person's "55 Alive" driving program in New Braunfels, AARP is trying lo combat the higher rates insurance companies are starting to charge older citizens with a mature driving program. "What we're trying to do is make an impression on the insurance companies," Mooney said "According to their own information people who take this course have fewer accidents." Mooney said the program is limited to 32 participants and teaches older motorists to compensate for the physical handicaps that age Oden presents. He said insurance companies ofter a IO percent discount to older citizens who take the course. He cautioned that in order to be eligible both drivers of the vehicle to be insured must take the course. According to Mooney the next session of "55 Alive" will be on July 15 and 16. The charge is $8 and checks should be made out to the AARP. The course will be held at the Senior Citizens Center Only those 55 and older are eligible.

Redeeming Love
Full Product Description
- Looking for sweeping romance and a powerful story?
- This retelling of Hosea is Francine Rivers' most cherished book for countless readers
- Discover the Bible story in a new light through Rivers' compelling writing
Francine River's classic romantic novel of love amid the chaos of California's gold rush proves the perfect setting for her revealing re-enactment of the story of Hosea.
Califormia in 1850 was a time and place where men would sell their souls for a chance of gold and women would sell their bodies for a roof over their heads. A bitter-twisted childhood of prostitution has tainted Angel's heart. All men are cold-hearted, she beleives, greedy, selfish creatures who take but never give, leaving you empty and dead inside.
Following God's will, Michael Hosea asks Angel for her hand in marriage, vowing to love her unconditionally. She'd be a fool to refuse his generous offer, but clings to her negative conception of men and refusing to believe she could ever be loved. Michael continually proves his love time and time again until her once lifeless heart is awakened by the unfamiliar touch of love.
Overwhelmed by her unworthiness and fear she runs away. Yet in her desperate need for healing Michael's pursuing love isn't her cure. In the darkness she meets the lover of her soul, and discovers His redeeming love.
Now in its 2nd Edition, 'Redeeming Love' by bestselling author, Francine Rivers, has sold more than one million copies and continues to profoundly awaken readers to the unconditional and all-conquering love of God.
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers was published by Lion Hudson in September 2013 and is our 193rd best seller. The ISBN for Redeeming Love is 9781782640318.

text: Market Comment 15th Nov 2011 Capital Spreads Analysts in Market Comment 15 Nov 2011 0 share Share Tweet Email Share Calls for greater integration within the EU are getting louder as politicians continue to dream of an ever more powerful central European state. There's no question that more fiscal integration could have possibly averted the current crisis by preventing profligate states from going on their spending sprees whilst being able to borrow from the bond markets at the same rate as Germany, but the reputation of the eurozone project has been badly tarnished and whilst there might be appetite from politicians, there is growing scepticism from the voters. Certainly in the UK, which has historically been one of the more sceptical nations proud to have the head of state on its own bank notes, the old cracks in the Conservative party have re-emerged and now the Labour party is making noises about reclaiming powers from Brussels. The banging of the EU drums is a desperate attempt to prevent a break up of the eurozone which is looking increasingly likely as the crisis unfolds. Calls for further integration will face stiff opposition and take years to implement even if the general consensus from European parliaments is in favour of such a move. This morning the FTSE is just about holding up at around 5515. All eyes remain on the government bond yields of Italy and Spain which have been creeping higher this morning, but at least there's been some decent GDP data so far this morning from both France and Germany. Things have been rather choppy so far this week and it seems as though there really is little buying appetite to really push things higher. There's more economic data to come with UK CPI inflation data and then the German ZEW survey. Inflation is expected to dip back towards the 5.0% mark with many believing this will be the peak for rising prices. This will be music to everyone's ears who have suffered years of way above target inflation (apart from the blip down during the recession), but there's still a very long way to go to get back towards the BOE's target of 2%. FX traders have continued their bearish stance on the euro as it is on the decline for a second day today. Merkel's comments that the eurozone is in the worst state since WWII come just in time for those German investor confidence figures mentioned later today, expected to show their lowest in three years. Traders all over will be extremely cautious over the single currency, as it seems that despite a few governmental changes in the eurozone, sentiment hasn't really appeared to pick up. As said yesterday, we should still expect short term bearishness over the euro and strength in more safe havens currencies such as the dollar and yen. The euro is trading down against the dollar this morning at 1.3600 with support at 1.545 and resistance at 1.3720. Eurozone members that have been worst hit by the debt crisis were subject to a political reshuffle yesterday, sending worrying investors into the safety of the US dollar yesterday and in turn, out of gold. Reports have stated that current trading volumes are minute and the only people left in the markets are short term speculators, with the long term holders taking a peripheral view for the time being. So all in all, yesterday's session saw the yellow brick lose 7.5 bucks to close at 1779.8, which at time of writing has been extended down to 1770.1. Despite the changes in Greece and Italy's political system, showing a want for reduction of the current deficits, crude oil pulled back from the recent highs as the bears took hold of the session yesterday. Not only the persistent concerns on the European debt crisis, but the strengthening greenback kept downward pressure on the price of black gold, which at time of writing has been eased as Brent trades up at 112.05.

In those few minutes, my mind couldn't make sense of anything that was happening to me. The subconcious felt trapped, almost asphyxiated as I followed the Goshea blindly. She held one of my hands, giving me wordless smiles as she led me deeper and deeper into the forest.
My mind grew hazy, vision blurring up but one thing called to me the most. Desire surged through my veins as I took steps closer to the being, which now appeared more beautiful than ever.
Stop this!
A voice called from within me but all strings of resistence had been cut the moment I'd looked into those eyes. It felt like I was under a spell of some sort, but I didn't know what to do.
Why? Why did I leave Elia?
The voices grew smaller, weaker and soon I had no control over my body. It was then I heard something, the rustling of leaves. The Goshea turned around, tugging me with her. Her frame grew hostile as she hissed venemously at the person that appeared in front of us.
I frowned, snapping out of my deep reverie for a split second to realize what was going on, eyes widening. "Elia?"
And then my body couldn't take it any more. The last thing I heard out was a cry of pain as I fell to the ground, blacking out.

Along with all of the exclusivity debates that have embroiled much of the talk surrounding virtual reality for the past few months, another discussion has been ongoing among gamers, developers and onlookers as well. What's the best way to get about in virtual reality?
If you talked to Oculus VR and HTC, the two companies would likely say drastically different things. Oculus, with its focus on seated and standing experiences might try to sell you on the idea of artificial locomotion, or using gamepads and controllers to handle your in-game movement – regardless of what founder Palmer Luckey once said. HTC is likely to tell you that real-world movement is the best option for VR, letting people walk around in their roomscale-tracked spaces.
Both solutions have their drawbacks. There are immersion issues with artificial movement, and difficulties with nausea in those less experienced. Roomscale VR can dodge those problems, but it requires more space than many people have to dedicate to VR.
To find out where the future of virtual reality locomotion may go, we reached out to developers of hardware and software alike, as well as the extended VR community, to see what their take is on how we should all be getting about in VR. And we found more controversy than agreement.
Stress Level Zero was one of the first developers to come out and support the HTC Vive with Hover Junkers, a competitive first-person game. The studio wanted to take advantage of the Vive's room-scale experience, yet also address the challenges of limited space.
That's why the studio came up with what developer Alex Knoll describes as the "moving platform" form of virtual reality locomotion. In Hover Junkers, players choose a size of hovering ship that matches (roughly) their real-world play space, and they can walk around it using Roomscale tracking, as usual.
Moving the ship around the open maps that players fight over is handled with more artificial locomotion, as players connect their in-game tool to the drive-train of their craft and pilot it around one handed.
This blends the two common forms of traversal in virtual reality to allow for comfort and large movement throughout open areas. As anyone who has played the title goes, the idea fits snugly into the game's world. But careful consideration was taken by StressLevelZero to make the experience of play more comfortable for gamers.
"Filling the users peripheral view with a "Frame" helps quite a bit [with that]," described Alex in our chat. He also said that making sure ships didn't rotate was a major step in making the Hover Junkers experience a comfortable one.
Considering it was a HTC Vive launch title, that was a very important consideration for StressLevelZero. The developers knew that a lot of people who would play the game when it came out, and would be relatively new to virtual reality. It would be pointless to offer a game that was difficult to stomach right off of the bat.
Knoll's focus on player comfort has proven prophetic. Since the release of the first retail headsets, there's been a rise in use of so-called "comfort movement," where rotational movement is performed in clunky jumps, rather than smoother movements more typical of first person perspectives. It's also seen to a popularization of other types of locomotion in games, like the blink/teleport mechanic which can be seen in games like Vanishing Realms and Call of the Starseed.
Although these methods offer significant improvements to user comfort over artificial movement using a gamepad or similar input, it often leads to lazy gameplay. Enemies in Vanishing Realms can be easily defeated if you teleport close, attack, and then teleport out again. It also becomes far faster than exploring naturally in roomscale, so players often ditch "real" movement altogether.
"There are lots of interesting movement mechanics that are built into the core gameplay which are very compelling," said Alex from StressLevelZero, highlighting Budget Cuts and BattleDome, two games that make use of the teleportation mechanic as part of gameplay and the game's lore, which makes it feel more applicable.
But what type of movement does this movement-blending developer prefer? The most uncomfortable one: artificial movement. To Alex, teaching your brain to accept bizarre movements in virtual reality is part of learning to use the new platform – much in the same way some people had to get over nausea caused in early first person 2D games.
"I really like Windlands, as it feels the most freeing," he said, highlighting a game that has you swinging through trees, canyons and up mountains, all utilizing artificial movement through the motion controllers.
Then again, Alex has spent almost as much time in VR as he has out of it over the past couple of years.
"I have a feeling the more people get used to VR the more it will skew towards 'uncomfortable' forced movement, as in traditional gaming locomotion methods. Forced positional movement with player body rotational movement seems like it could be the middle ground people lean towards."
Of course, there's more than one side to the discussion. We also reached out to the guys at Virtuix, the makers of the Omni treadmill, and spoke to CEO Jan Goetgeluk's about his thoughts on moving about in VR.
He sees things differently. Virtuix opts for an all or nothing approach, suggesting that for some game genres, the only way to experience them is through a motion simulation platform like the Omni.
"There is no substitute for walking and running," he said, when we asked about artificial locomotion, highlighting the main strength of the Omni — that you can walk and run in VR without running out of room.
What about blinking, or teleportation? When we asked the HTC Vive community on Reddit what their preferred method of locomotion in VR games was, that was the one they picked almost overwhelmingly. But Goetgeluk isn't a fan.
"Teleportation isn't what people thought of when they dreamed of VR," he said. "The last thing they envision is teleporting themselves around the environment. It breaks the immersion and breaks the fun. It's not a good solution. Developers are not happy with it either. It's becoming a standard that everybody hates."
The main idea Goetgeluk wants to champion is physical motion. Whether players walk around their own space or on a treadmill, physically walking around a game world is what he wants to see more of, as it's the most immersive aspect of virtual reality.
But while some may see that as meaning games need to be smaller and designed with people's homes in mind, he sees it as leading to only one solution.
"For VR to be comfortable and safe, you need a motion platform," he said. "Roomscale is a lot of fun, but it's still quite limiting, so we truly believe people will need a platform like the Omni to truly experience what VR has to offer."
This is an interesting point to note about GoetGeluk's stance. Although he has praised what Roomscale is capable of, and even more impressed with what the likes of The Void can do, he has a fair point in that there will always be space limitations with that sort of technology.
When we asked Alex Knoll at StressLevelZero what he thought of treadmills, he said they were cool, but not really needed right now.
"I have to focus my thoughts on what comes in the box. We have only just begun to see whats possible with just a tracked head and controllers and I imagine it will be a long time before we run out of things to do, without treadmills and harnesses."
It's certainly the case that tacking another $500 (or more) on top of the already rather hefty expense of a VR headset and a capable PC isn't going to sit well with many gamers, even if they feel it's necessary. And complex harnesses won't be great for every game. Racing titles, for example, have no need for them.

With clear paths already paved for different modes of movement, we may need to accept there isn't going to be a one-size-fits-all solution for virtual reality. Some people really enjoy teleportation, others like artificial movement with added roomscale, and there are certainly going to be games and experiences that seem most suited to treadmills and harness systems.
Although for now it seems there is no real consensus on what the near future of locomotion in virtual reality will be, it may turn out that as people become more used to the idea of moving around a virtual world and their brain becomes accustomed to it, a blend of artificial and roomscale could be the most common.
It offers a blend of open world locomotion on a grand scale, whilst maintaining the ability to examine things more closely in-front of you. That seems to be what the most experienced gamers in our poll decided, but that was hardly an enormous sample size.
But what about VR in the decades to come? Does Alex at StressLevelZero think we're going to end up in a Matrix-like future, or something akin to Sword Art Online?
"We are so far out from that kind of future that its similar to asking 'wouldn't it be cool if magic were real?'" he said. "In that sense I think the final holy grail really would be one step further; to download our consciousness into the virtual world and no longer have a need for the physical one."
For now, he wants to see us move towards something more attainable — wireless headsets, 4K per-eye resolution, and massive increases in field of view.
Perhaps that's what we should settle for, too. It certainly would make exploring in VR – in whatever mode proves most popular – easier, more comfortable, and more immersive.

Per your request I must now call you to discuss this further. Unfortunately I am not available to call you again at this time. My husband has been diagnosed with cancer and I don't have time to call you. If in the future weeks or months when I have time during your business hours to call, I will. I pray that this is a good faith offer that is open ended due to the circumstances I am dealing with at this time.

Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan has not given up on plans to take over Israel Chemicals Ltd., though talks with stakeholders have been on hold as the country faced a parliamentary election in January.
Potash Corp. chief financial officer Wayne Brownlee told a BMO-sponsored Global Metals and Mining Conference in Florida that further delays have occurred as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu works to build a coalition.
"We've been sort of sitting out through an election period," Mr. Brownlee told the conference. "There's been some encouragement to look at the transaction."
Potash Corp., the world's largest potash producer, holds a 14-per-cent stake in ICL, a $16.4-billion company and one of the few major producers of the crop nutrient that is not a member of two global marketing groups that control most of the market.
It has been in talks with the Israeli government since November to raise the size of that stake, ruffling some feathers because it would mean putting a key state asset into the hands of the Canadian fertilizer giant even as it targets massive, organic growth.
Mr. Brownlee said on Tuesday that any increment in its ownership would have to give it a majority stake in the company, a major supplier into the European market where Potash Corp. does not have a presence.
Cognizant of political sensitivities, he said the company had no plans to make a hostile bid for ICL, and outlined reasons why stakeholders should consider a deal.
"It really isn't about production cuts," he said. "It's not about reduced employment. This really is a marketing story, it's a distribution and logistics story and we think that once we present those credentials we might be in a better position."
Any deal would require the approval of Israel's government, which holds a golden share in ICL, a company that holds exclusive mining rights to the Dead Sea.
Having survived a hostile takeover attempt itself just three years ago – when the Canadian government stopped an unsolicited bid from BHP Billiton Ltd. – Potash Corp. knows to tread carefully through political waters in Israel.
"This is not and would not be a hostile attempt. This would be a negotiated deal which would have to be in the interest of all stakeholders ," said Mr. Brownlee.
Most of the world's potash supply is in the hands of Canpotex, the international marketing arm of producers that include Potash Corp., Mosaic Co. and Agrium Inc., or Canpotex's Russian counterpart Belarus Potash Co., the trading joint venture of Uralkali and Belaruskali.Report Typo/Error

Concert Promotions.org
In the business of concert and music festival promotions and in a world where few will lend a hand, concertpromotions.org provides information helpful to the new concert and music festival promoter.
Article by Hal Davidson, Rockville, MD USA firstname.lastname@example.com
April, 2014
The primary directive when trying to raise funds for a concert or music festival is to speak to everyone you ever knew about it. Anyone new you speak with tell them about your event and how much you are looking for what is the return on investment ROI. Know your project, know your marketing plan, know your costs and profits.
Have an under 2 minute pitch. A catchy festival name, having supreme knowledge about the market you are going after, knowing your costs, breakeven point and potential gross and net.
No matter what your fund raising direction, to promote a concert or music festival, you need a:
More event funding tips
Whenever there are changes in your plan or cost sheet, make the changes everywhere immediately so that everything is current and matches other docs. Upgrade and modify your plan as you gain more knowledge about the market or how you can improve your event. Do not allow your plan to get stale. Change dates and improve the look of your proposal as you grow smarter and more informed of the surrounding and developing facts about your own project.
Geographical Affinity Pursue prospect investors located in the general geographical area of your event. Find people, orgs, firms with an affinity to your project. Investors located in that market or state, feel more secure and will understand more about the market conditions, venues and audiences surrounding your event.
They say "don't trust anyone but yourself". Not so. There needs to be a certain level of logical, reasonable trust when you start with anyone. The other party will show their cards quickly and it's up to you to develop an eye and ear for what sounds right and not. If bad signals increase and the other party is not respecting your time, or is not doing what they say they will, even if it's just emails not being returned in a timely manner or completely, and/ or they don't return phone calls the same day, these are clear signals of dishonesty or minimally lack of interest. Real business people do real business and don't play games. You can tell the difference.
But don't judge people unfavorably if they have had problems in the past. The past does not indicate anything about now and unless you know the details, you don't really know the truth. Online information and third person reporting, even from the media, cannot be relied upon. Speak to the person directly if you have any questions about them. Judge people by their actions, not by what others say about them.
A formerly troubled person or company may be your best bet. They have learned important lessons and may be able to impart these wisdoms upon you as well as provide funding or ideas on getting it. Look for good people who share your passion and understand what you are trying to accomplish.
Ask for the right amount of investment. Underfunding is a nightmare and impedes your ability to execute you plan with confidence as you originally wished. Unless you have a ticketing system that is going to pay you funds as tickets are sold, you'll need 100% of the total show cost in advance. Your cost sheet must be accurate.
Geographical Professionalism The irony is that though most major live entertainment funding comes from New York, California and Florida, there is no question that the worst, most dishonest and incompetent operators are centered in these 3 states, particularly NYC, LA and Miami. If you try to raise event funding in these 3 important markets, you better have your helmet on, prepared for major B.S., delays, scheming, manipulation and lies. It's not recommended to ever tell potential investors in these markets that they live in a land of thieves and liars.
Communication Look for and work with professional communicators. From experience, we can tell you, people that repeatedly use "um, uh and ya know" just don't have a presence of mind to understand more complicated processes. These folks have never taken a public speaking class, aren't smart enough to know they sound like idiots and are very unlikely to impress anyone else. Do you want them communicating your project to others?
Deal with "normal communicators", not rude, terminally stupid people unable to show up on time or call you back. Normal communicators call you back today, they email you back today. Abnormal communicators justify not calling you back and not emailing you back. Know the difference between normal and abnormal. Not showing the respect of a return call or email is the tip of an iceberg revealing a further lack of ethics. Best practices means doing your best work, not your worst. Find people who know how to care about others.
Which are you?
Ways to pay an investor
Most important to remember, if it was easy, many, many more people would be promoting concerts and music festivals. It's really hard to learn the industry and even harder for a newbie to secure the funds unless you already have supporters, relatives or business connections willing to gamble on you. The business is you.
The industry looks fun, sexy and exciting. It can be, but to get to that point, there is a journey of very hard work, endless hours and major sacrifices. Real promoters know that the concert and music festival business is a draining, lonely pursuit filled with liars, pervasive haters and stupid people. The concert and music festival business brings these deviates out of the woodwork.
If this is a burning desire that won't go away, don't give up. It can take years to find the funds for a concert or music festival. Believe in yourself. Be strong. The path to concert or festival success is laden with many twists, turns, potholes, roadblocks and cliffs. You have not failed unless you give up or die first… You are not alone.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 4/25/12
MILWAUKEE -- Ersan Ilyasova has statistically improved in nearly every area of his game this season. And soon, the 24-year-old Turkish-born forward for the Milwaukee Bucks may have the hardware to prove just how much better he has become. Though the Bucks find themselves out of the playoffs for the second consecutive year, Ilyasova's performance this season has him atop the list to potentially win the NBA's Most Improved Player award. "That would be a huge honor for me," Ilyasova said Wednesday. "When the season started, I just wanted to improve myself as a player. Even during the lockout I was playing games for the national team, and after that I was signing with a Turkish team as well during the lockout time. I think that's helped a lot to improve myself as a player and help stay in shape before the season started."A second-round pick in 2005, Ilyasova is now about to complete his fourth NBA season wherein he set career-highs with 13.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists. Plus, his 3-point shooting went from 29.8 percent last season to 45.5 percent this year. That success rate from beyond the arc was second-best in the entire NBA, trailing only New York's Steve Novak."In the past he would look for the 3-point line and hurry up and step behind it and launch it like they launch t-shirts into the crowd," coach Scott Skiles said of Ilyasova. "Literally. His footwork was all screwed up and just voom! Not a chance to go in. Now, if it comes to him, he's at the three, he takes it."He was getting in a lot of trouble taking ill-advised threes and pump-faking when he should have shot it, and shot it when he should have pump-faked. He's just kept it simple."It's something we really encouraged him to do and he's kept it real simple. The other stuff he does well, he always does well; rebounding, playing hard, all of that. But he's become a much more efficient player because he's kept it a lot more simple."The biggest competition for Ilyasova for the Most Improved Player award are Orlando Magic forward Ryan Anderson (whose game is very similar to Ilyasova's), New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin, Rockets point guard Goran Dragic and Pistons big man Greg Monroe.While some may consider Lin as the most likely winner of the award -- given that he made the basketball world completely Linsane for a few weeks after being released earlier in the year by two NBA teams -- the issue is that he only played in 35 games this season and has been out since March 26 with a season-ending knee injury.That is why Ilyasova, though he got far less publicity than Lin, should end up being named Most Improved."He's been great," Bucks guard Brandon Jennings said of Ilyasova. "We don't really run a lot of offense for him, but he gets the rebounds. Sometimes we think he's missing on purpose just to get his rebounds. But that's just what he does. In general, he's been playing hard, he gets the big boards, he makes the big shots for us."That is, my opinion, the most improved player of the year."The only problem for the Bucks now is that Ilyasova is about to enter unrestricted free agency. Therefore, he is able to sign with any team and Milwaukee's front office can do nothing to prevent it."We'll see all the options I have in front of me and we'll go from there," Ilyasova said. "I have a lot of offers from overseas right now. They're really interested, but my main goal and my first option is to be in the NBA."Follow Paul Imig on Twitter.

Little America (exploration base)
Coordinates: 77°30′S 162°00′W / 77.5°S 162°W
Little America was a series of Antarctic exploration bases from 1929 to 1958, located on the Ross Ice Shelf, south of the Bay of Whales.
The coordinates are approximate.
Little America I[edit]
The first base in the series was established in January 1929 by Richard Byrd,[1] and was abandoned in 1930.[2] This was where the film With Byrd at the South Pole (1930) was filmed, about Byrd's trip to the South Pole.
Little America II[edit]
Little America II was established in 1934, some 30 feet (10 m) above the site of the original base, with some of the original base accessed via tunnel.[1][2] This base was briefly set adrift in 1934, but the iceberg fused to the main glacier.[2]
During the 1934–1935 expedition, many souvenir letters were sent from Little America, using a commemorative postage stamp issued by the U.S. government.
Little America established the first successful radio broadcasting from Antarctica, making regular broadcasts that could be picked up by household radio sets in the United States, more than 11,000 miles away around the Earth's curvature.
In a later expedition to Antarctica, Byrd's expedition spotted Little America's towers still standing, including the Jacobs Wind plant installed in 1933.[3][inconsistent]
Little America III[edit]
Little America III was established for the 1940–1941 season some 6 miles (10 km) to the north.
In 1940 a huge, extraordinary, exploration vehicle, the Antarctic Snow Cruiser, was brought to Little America III. Unfortunately, the vehicle was found to have a number of design and technical weaknesses and was little used. Abandoned, it became buried in the snow. It was last rediscovered in 1958, but has subsequently been lost once again, either under the snow, or under the waters of the Southern Ocean.
The site of Little America III was carried to sea in 1963.[1][4]
Little America IV[edit]
Little America IV was established in 1946–1947 as the primary camp for Operation Highjump.[2]
Little America V[edit]
Little America V was established on January 3, 1956, at Kainan Bay, some 30 miles to the east of Little America IV, as part of Operation Deep Freeze.[5] Little America V served as the American base in the South Polar program in the International Geophysical Year, from July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958.[5] Little America V was constructed by United States Navy Seabees in the three-month window before the Antarctic winter makes construction nearly impossible. All of Little America V was constructed below the snow line in the ice, with individual living quarters, generator room, cafeteria, and with ramps leading out at one end for tracked vehicles. This type of construction meant that none of those staying in Little America V had to go outdoors in the harsh winter when going from one section to another of the Antarctic town.[6]
The site of Little America V went to sea on Iceberg B-9 in 1987.[7]

Two people shot in separate areas of a restaurant...that's horrible. All I can think about is whoever the second one was, after hearing the shot and thinking 'Oh God'. At that moment they were probably wishing they had a gun, right before they died.
And yet the story always is "what a tragedy"...it's not a tragedy, some person(s) did this. I hope they get a needle.

Thinktiv Playbook: Born Winner
The founding team at Stylefy was passionate about solving a longstanding challenge for multi-channel apparel retailers: how to replicate the conversion effects of an in-store dressing room within an e-commerce environment. Armed with a compelling architecture and technology IP for an SaaS-based online dressing room, Stylefy engaged Thinktiv to position the company for a seed round of capital and initial sales pipeline development. Originally founded as "Fashpose", Thinktiv re-named the company, designed the striking Stylefy visual brand, developed a compelling messaging platform, and deployed the marketing website and collateral required to generate sales conversations. In parallel, Thinktiv developed the financial model and investor materials necessary to engage and convert seed investors. Currently in a closed Beta stage, Stylefy expects to formally launch in-market in late 2014.

Even with the jade plant, problems do show up on this generally easy to grow houseplant.
Let's get one thing out of the way. Although, my preference is to always use an organic natural insecticide like diatomaceous earth or neem oil, many people reach for the old standard – Malathion.
Malathion is very effective in controlling many insects you'll find on houseplants – mealy bugs for example.
Jade plants can get mealy bugs. But never use Malathion on a jade or any of the Crassula family. They cannot handle it.
Some people control mealybug by blasting them with water. This can break the plant and also put more water on the plant than it can tolerate.
For the homeowner… stay simple and safe. Fight mealybugs with alcohol on cotton swabs.
No Flowering
Most people will never see a flower on their jade plant. Flowering is usually a matter of plant age. For plants to flower they are generally are 5-8 years old. Indoors most plants never bloom.
There are times a young plant may flower but that is not common.
Dropping / Losing Leaves
There are several reasons you may find a Jade plant dropping leaves.
Jade Plant With Leggy Growth
If you notice – Leaf drop, growth which is leggy, leaves that are underdeveloped and little branching.
Check to make sure the plant has adequate light and if needed supplement with additional lighting such as grow lights.
Jade Plant Yellowing In Mass
If find your Jade plant losing leaves and yellowing in mass, plus some rotting… this is usually over-watering.
Reduce your watering. If the plant continue to decline. Check the root system. At the same time check to make sure nothing is covering the drainage holes to prevent the soil from draining.
If the roots look healthy and are white – repot in fresh clean soil. Water sparingly.
If some of the roots are rotted. Remove the bad rotted roots, repot in fresh clean soil.
If all the roots are rotted, its time to try your hand at some jade plant propagation by starting some new plants from leaves.
Jade Plant Drops Old Leaves
If the plant begins dropping older leaves, and there is soft leggy growth. This is usually from the temperatures being too warm.
The area where the plant is growing needs more air movement and lower temperatures. This can be the case during winter months when the plant could be growing close to a heating source.
You will not find many jade plant diseases in the home. Most of the "ills" can be traced back to a few things – water and humidity.
Over-watering causing root rot
Too much water coupled with too high humidity resulting in the plants base and stems becoming soft and mushy.
Check the root system first – repot if needed. Remove infected areas and spray or paint the infected areas with a fungicide.
Symptoms and Conditions
If you notice a black mold coating on the leaves of your jade, it most likely is from too much humidity. Using soapy water, "gently" wipe the mold away, place the plant in an area where it gets more light and less humidity.
If you see the top of the soil in the pot having a white or gray covering this is also mold resulting from too much fertilizer or over-watering.
Try to reduce the watering and fertilizing and also… again gently… remove the mold from the surface. This can usually be done by "scratching" the surface of the soil.
In general, jade plants are pretty care free. When problems arise look first to watering, check the roots, then humidity and finally temperature. Become a master of caring for your Jade plant and you'll enjoy it for many many years.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Just entered :-] The organisers are keen for PR so here is a plug for the event...if you have just done South Downs you may like this one too.
GM, I ran the SDM and am intending to enter the Clarendon Marathon. I have a leaflet which advises the race is 90% off road, and follows the Clarendon Way over country track and paths. Sounds similar to the SDM but should be less strenuous. There is also a half marathon and relay.
Thought I'd bring this one up to the top again. Has anyone done this race before, and can they please give a brief description of what it's like.
I did the marathon last year. Good event. It was an overcast day, so I am sure the views were not up to what they could have been. Nice small field for the first half, then we joined the back of the half marathon which meant alot people to overtake! Definitely recommend giving it a go.
RH, thanks for that, I think I will give it a go.
