Scientists working collaboratively around the world say they are coming closer to developing therapies that may help restore neurologic function in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, they caution that such therapies are only beginning to enter early clinical trials and may be years from the clinic.
Most existing therapies for MS aim to tamp down aberrant immune function and are especially helpful for some phases of the disease, although patients may still progress to a chronic, more progressive stage of illness. In addition, some newer therapies aim to reduce specific symptoms of the disorder. For example, the US Food and Drug Administration recently approved dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulfate to treat pseudobulbar affect, a condition marked by uncontrolled emotional outbursts that may develop in patients with MS or certain other neurologic disorders.

There are two very different ways to use images, printing or video screens.
We scan for the capability of our output device.
We choose the scan resolution based strictly on the needs of the output device that will process that image. At home, that output device is normally a printer or a video monitor.
Video monitors and printers work very differently from each other, and must be discussed one at a time. All of the rules are different for images intended for these two devices. The following material details the significance of these differences. (when I say "video", I mean the video monitor screen).
All of the points below will be covered.
|Properties of
Printed Images
|Properties of
Video Images
|Image size is measured on paper in inches or centimeters (paper size is also measured in inches)
|Image size is measured on the screen in pixels (screen size is also measured in pixels)
|Image size does NOT vary with scanned resolution
|Image size varies with scanned resolution
|Image size is modified on paper by scaling
|Image size is modified on screen by resampling
|Image pixels are spaced on paper using specified scaled resolution (dpi)
|Image pixels are located at each screen pixel location, one for one
|Several printer ink dots are used to represent the color of one image pixel
|One screen pixel location contains one image pixel, and can be of any RGB value
So because of these great and fundamental differences, when this text says "it's this way" or "it's that way", then notice that it also says "for printing" or "for video". Don't get them out of context, because the two modes are very different, with different properties and concerns.
There are generally two different goals for scanning an image, to show it on the video screen, or to print it on paper. These uses have different rules.
The purpose of high resolution is to provide for enlargement, so an important way to think of it is this way:
We normally want to print photos at about 300 dpi on paper (line art maybe 600 dpi). So to print a copy at original size, also scan photos at 300 dpi.
To create sufficient pixels for print enlargement, the ratio of (scanning resolution / printing resolution) is the enlargement factor. For example,
Scan at 300 dpi, print at 300 dpi, for 300/300 = 1X size (prints original size or 100% size)
Scan at 150 dpi, print at 300 dpi, for 150/300 = 1/2X size (prints half size or 50% size)
Film is small, and so needs more enlargement, but still the same rule. One example is to scan 35 mm film at 2700 dpi, and print at 300 dpi, for 2700/300 = 9X size enlargement. 9X is about 8x12 inches (about A4 size) from full frame 35 mm (about 0.9 x 1.4 inches). The ratio of (scanning resolution / printing resolution) is the print enlargement factor.
FWIW, film is designed with fine grain, so it enlarges well. Frankly, prints don't enlarge so well, 2x might be acceptable, but you may not like 3x. Prints are already enlarged, and the paper has more coarse grain, not designed to be enlarged. The film is the original master source. Or digital cameras provide the original source file. Either way, it's better to go back to the original source than to scan a print copy.
But to scan an 8.5x11 inch page at high resolution like 2700 dpi is surely nonsense, a misunderstanding. You're not planning a 9x enlargement and will have no use for such a large image. The concept is about desired enlargement, a goal for a purpose. When you just want to print a copy of a photo print or a page at original size, just automatically scan and print at 300 dpi. One exception, if and only if the scan is line art mode, then scan and print at 600 dpi (600/600 is still original size) can be better line art quality on a good printer.
Dpi is pixels per inch (naysayers, see below). Therefore, the numeric requirement is that if you want to print the image as 8x10 inch size at 300 dpi, then this obviously will require an image size of:
(8 inches x 300 dpi) x (10 inches x 300 dpi) = 2400x3000 pixels.
Sufficient pixels to print at 240 to 300 dpi is optimum to print photo images. This is true for images sent to online printng services, or true of your own inkjet printer too. More pixels really cannot help the printer, but very much less is detrimental to quality. This is very simple, but it is essential to know and keep track of. This simple little calculation will show the image size needed for optimum photo printing.
This print resolution does NOT need to be exact at all, but somewhere near this size ballpark (of 250 to 300 pixels per inch) is a very good thing for printing. There are more details of essential digital basics HERE.
If you scan 8x10 inches at 300 dpi, then 2400x3000 pixels is what you will have (assuming 100% scaling).
If you scan 4x5 inches at 600 dpi, then 2400x3000 pixels is what you will have (the rule above).
This is called "scaling", and this enlargement concept is true for scanning anything, photo prints, documents, film, etc.
The role of scan resolution for the video screen is to create the appropriate image size. There are two factors:
b) Video screens are dimensioned in pixels. Images are dimensioned in pixels. So the image pixels are pretty much displayed one for one on the screen, so your target goal is the size of image that you want. Inches are a factor on paper, but inches are not used on the screen (size will vary on different screens). The screen is dimensioned in pixels. Images are dimensioned in pixels. A 600x400 pixel image will fill 600x400 pixels of the larger video screen.
Again, scanning 6x4 inches at 100 dpi will produce (6 inches x 100 dpi) x (4 inches x 100 dpi) = 600x400 pixel of image size. Plug in the appropriate numbers to get the size image you want (in pixels) from what you are scanning. dpi = pixels per inch.
The scanner menu should compute this math for you, and will help with this. The typical scanning menu will show in advance, the size of the input area to be scanned, the resolution and any enlargement factor, and the size of the output image, in pixels and/or inches. True of scanning to print too, and there are a couple of ways to do it, but you can just make the numbers show your goal.
Your video screen is set to display one of various sizes, perhaps say 1366x768 pixels. The concept is that this 600x400 pixel image will fill 600x400 pixels of that 1366x768 pixel screen (in this example, the image will fill 600/1366 or 44% of the screen width). One common exception, normally if the image is larger than the screen (both in pixels), the viewing software will typically resample a smaller copy, and show the smaller copy which fits on the screen. Of course, not every internet screen is the same size as your screen, so many will see a different size than you see (on their screen size, if different in pixels or inches).
That dpi concept is true for printing goals too, meaning that if you plan to print 8x10 inches at 300 dpi, then of course in preparation, you need to create in the ballpark of (8 inches x 300 dpi) x (10 inches x 300 dpi) = 2400x3000 pixels. It doesn't need to be precisely that, ± 10% of 300 dpi won't matter much, but it should be ballpark.
This will all be covered in more detail, but that is pretty much the essential basics.
The next page will discuss "What is a pixel?", but before we get started, a note relating to context usage of "dpi":
Printer ink dots and image pixels are very different concepts, but both use the term dpi in their own way (dots per inch).
Inkjet printer dpi ratings refer to printer ink dots (the four colors of ink), which is NOT AT ALL the same thing as image pixels. These are such different concepts that some people imagine we ought to reserve the term dpi for those inkjet ink dots, and reserve use of ppi only for image pixels. Not really a bad plan, except that this view fails to recognize real world usage.
We may hear scanning resolution called spi (Samples Per Inch), and that is indeed what it is. We often hear image resolution called ppi (Pixels Per Inch), and that is indeed what it is. The spi and ppi terms are correct. But historical and common usage has always said dpi for image resolution, meaning pixels per inch, and fully interchangeable with ppi. Pixels are conceptually a kind of colored dot too, and resolution has always been called dpi, for years before we had inkjet printers. Dpi is just jargon perhaps, but it is a fact of life, and always has been. Scanners and scanner ratings say dpi too, meaning pixels per inch (see dialog pictures here, here, here, and here). I habitually always say dpi myself, an old habit.
We may use the term of our own preference, but we need to understand it both ways. Some photo editor programs have switched to saying ppi now, which has much to be said for it. But others have not switched, so insisting on conformity for others to only say ppi will necessarily encounter much frustration, because the real world simply isn't that way, and obviously is not ready to switch yet.
My point here is that we must understand it both ways, because we will see it both ways, often, in the real world.
It's easy, not a problem - the idea of printing digital images is always about pixels per inch, so when the context pertains to images instead of printers, all of these terms, spi, ppi, and dpi, are exactly the same equivalent concept - they all mean pixels per inch.
There is no problem understanding any use of dpi if you know the context. It always means the only thing it can possibly mean. If the context pertains to images or printing pixels, dpi means "pixels per inch". If the context pertains to inkjet printer quality ratings, dpi means "ink dots per inch". There is no other meaning possible. This should be clear and no big deal - the English language is full of multiple context definitions.
So yes, inkjet printer rating dpi is something entirely different, referring to inkjet printer ink drops instead of image pixels. Ink drops is about print quality (dithering quality), and is NOT about printing resolution. The inkjet printer only has three or four colors of ink - or maybe double that many in some cases - but nowhere near the 16.7 million color possibilities of 24 bit color, one of which the pixel might be. The concept of a pixel is in fact a colored dot, and the printers goal is to reproduce the color of that dot. But the limited inkjet printer cannot directly reproduce the color of a pixel. The inkjet printer just tries to approximate the color of a pixel, with multiple ink drops chosen from maybe six colors of ink. This method of simulating colors by combining multiple individual ink drops is called Dithering. If it was, say, a 250 dpi pixel (size, 1/250 inch), it must make several ink dots of its few CMYK ink colors, which are located on the perhaps 1200 or 1440 dpi spacing within that pixel's 1/250 inch space (not very exactly, see the Printer Basics section). Any color error is carried over to adjacent neighbor pixels, which are then intentionally tinted the opposite way to compensate. The printer is trying the best it possibly can to reproduce the pixel's color, but inkjets cannot reproduce colored pixels directly. The point is, image pixels and inkjet printer ink drops are NOT the same thing at all. Yet the spacing of both is called dpi, with very different meanings, understood in context of use. If it is about ink drops, it is about ink drops. If it is about pixels, it is about pixels. Image files do not contain any ink drops, so any discussion about images is about pixels. Seems simple.
However, continuous tone printers (dye-subs, and Fuji Frontier types) don't print discrete ink dots of three colors like inkjet printers must - instead they mix the color of the pixel directly, and they print pixels (called continuous tone). There are no dithered ink dots then, just pixels. But these printer ratings still refer to the spacing of those image pixels with the term dpi, simply because dpi has always been the name for "pixels per inch".
Scanner ratings also always call it dpi, also referring to pixels of course (scanners don't use ink dots). You have never heard of a 4800 ppi scanner (and there are no ink drops used in scanners - scanners create pixels of course).
The formal technical specifications at the very heart of our digital imaging definitions use dpi:
Dwelling on the obvious, but all of the above is good enough for me. There are no ink drops in image files. Those fundamental and elite specification documents written by the experts do not use ppi one time - dpi has simply always been the name of it. I always say dpi too, for same reason, simply because that has always been the name for pixel resolution.
Yes, sure, the term dpi does have multiple meanings, same as most English words do. This confuses some people who dream up their own imagined restrictions, demanding the term dpi ought to be reserved only for printer ink drops (simply their notion, about how they wish things were instead). They apparently don't know the real world term for image resolution has always been dpi. (Sorry, yes, I am going too far here, just for them)
Also, search Google for the phases "72 dpi" and "72 ppi" (using the quotes to be a phrase). We all know "72 dpi" is about video, and has absolutely nothing to do with ink drops, but look at the count of the hits... in 2016, I see 9.56 million for "72 dpi", and only 32.5K for "72 ppi". That's 300 to 1, two orders of magnitude, an overwhelming difference in popular usage. I am just teasing the troops, but some of them should "get over it". Dpi is the name of it, always has been, and we might as well get used to it.
Ppi is a relatively new term, we never saw it until recent years, but we are seeing ppi used some now, and it seems a perfectly fine name too, since dpi with respect to images does mean "pixels per inch". It might even have been a good plan, but it was not the plan. It may sound a bit silly to pronounce ppi, but recent photo editor software often does say ppi, while scanner software generally says dpi (but we see some exceptions to both). But usage makes either term correct now, even if the long established name for image resolution has always been dpi, for many years before inkjet printers could print photo images. Nothing makes ppi mandatory.
I am not arguing for the use of dpi. I don't care which you use, I understand it either way. I am just saying you should understand both too. My own preference has always been dpi (not that my choice is important, but that's what it's always been called). Mainly, my rant is simply explaining why you need to expect to see it used both ways. It's OK with me if you want to use your own preference, since both terms mean pixels per inch. We will all understand it either way, and you should too. BUT - again - regardless of your own preference, you definitely will often see both dpi or ppi used, so for your benefit, in the real world, you MUST understand what you read both ways. It should not even be confusing. If about images, it can only be about pixels. If about printers, it may be about ink drops. Both can be dots. That's simply how things are (and you already know that). Think of this as training to understand what you will see elsewhere.
I am not arguing which is better, or how things could have been, or ought to have been. It simply wasn't, and I am arguing what actually is. Facts are about what is. The important thing to me (and my big peeve) is that it certainly does the beginner no favor for the "holier than thou" to stand up and incorrectly shout that dpi is wrong, and that everything we read everywhere is therefore wrong. That is confusion indeed, harmful, not helpful, since it does not promote understanding of the real world that actually is. That is my fight. The only reasonable action is to instead simply state that both terms are used, they mean the same thing.
(to those so-called "advisors" - remember, when everyone except you is wrong, you probably don't understand the situation.)
The only proper instruction is that "both terms are used, interchangeably. Expect to see either. To understand what we read, we must understand it either way."
There is really no problem understanding the two uses of the word dpi if you know the basics, and realize the context. It always means the ONLY thing it can possibly mean in context. This should be no big deal, the English language thrives on multiple context definitions. If it is about ink drops, it is about ink drops. If it is about pixels, it is about pixels. If it is about the images themselves, it is not about ink drops.
If the usage context pertains to images or printing pixels (and it almost always does), then dpi always means "pixels per inch". So does ppi, same thing exactly. It cannot mean anything else, printing is about spacing pixels on paper. The two terms are fully interchangeable, use either according to your whim (but you gotta understand it both ways). If we have a 300 dpi image, both terms mean it will print at 300 pixels per inch (pixel spacing on paper), so that 300 pixels will cover one inch.
If the usage context pertains to inkjet printer ink dot ratings, dpi means "ink drops per inch" (but since the ink drops are actually larger than their spacing, the rating is more specifically about carriage and paper motor stepping intervals). If the printer rating is 1440 dpi, it means its motors can space 1440 ink dots per inch while trying to simulate the color of the pixels in that 300 dpi image. The pixels still remain 300 dpi size (as best as they can be reproduced). Most printer drivers have renamed this now anyway, as Quality, offering Good, Better, Best Quality, or maybe Fast, Standard, High Quality. This ink drop spacing is a quality parameter, about reproducing those pixels to the degree possible - it is not an image resolution parameter.

These are the worst Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns of all time: Have you invested in any of these?
Got a crazy idea that's just crazy enough to work? Even if you've got a crazy idea that's so insane it'll never work, today's go-to place for financial backing is a crowdfunding site.
From the genuinely innovative to the genuinely unhinged, crowdfunding sites Kickstarter and Indiegogo have become showcases for some of the best and worst ideas our species has ever dreamed up. Inventors, film makers, games developers and all manner of entrepreneurs have taken to the internet to try to bring their ideas to life with varying degrees of success.
They're pouring relentlessly into the den, and we, the people, are the dragons. Some have triumphed others have failed, and often hilariously. Here are the most awful, bizarre, and downright unbelievable crowdfunding ideas ever to hit the internet.
Related: The 10 craziest game controllers ever
What do you do when your Kickstarter project gains international notoriety, attracts more backers than you could ever ask for, and surpasses its funding target by a milestone? Ask for more money, of course.
The poor beleagured soul behind the 'COOLEST COOLER', one Ryan Grepper, was forced to do just that. No self-respecting entrepreneur should have to stoop to such levels, especially after having one of the most successful crowdfunding rounds in history. Alas, it was the case that, after blowing $13 million in funding, Grepper informed his backers that they would need to provide a further $97, on top of the $165-$225 already paid, if they wanted to get their product on time.
Naturally people didn't take too kindly to Ryan's proposition. The Kickstarter page became a depository for the world's rage as angry backers took to the comment section to demand justice.
Considering you can buy the cooler on Amazon already, the outrage seems somewhat justified, although based on some of the comments we're just as worried about the backers' sanity as we are about Ryan's ethics.
Not content with the absurdity of his demand for more money, Grepper decided to double down on the absurdity with a hyperbole-laiden update to backers where he claimed that he will fulfil the orders of every backer "as long as there is breath in [his] body". And enough cash in his bank account, of course.
Funded? Kind of, but apparently not enough.
U in a Bottle
We're sure this guy had the best intentions, but we're going to have to draw your attention to this one, if only for the strangely calming effect this surreal page elicits. We're still not entirely sure what U in a Bottle is. There's some mention of an app, but most of the About section is filled with talking about throwing bottles into the water. Even Carlos, the person behind the project, has transformed into a bottle judging by his profile picture.
U in a Bottle's Kickstarter page promises that the app will allow you to 'express your reflexion', before a series of weird pictures featuring rooms filled with water and faceless lego men are unleashed to drive home whatever point this page is trying to make.
As an art project, this might just be a genius idea. But seeing as U in a Bottle's page promises that the final app will allow you to 'write your poems, micro-stories, thoughts ... in a bottle and when you finish writing it, throw the bottle into the sea', what it boils down to is that Carlos has come up with the concept of a blog and is asking for money for having such an epiphany.

Twerk Island A Real Contest Movie
Back in 2014, the world faced an entirely new threat: that of Twerk Island A Real Contest Movie. Where to begin with this one. Perhaps the plot. There's a helpful 'short version' on the Kickstarter page which you can read at your leisure, but which centres on 'Famous Rich Girl' – yes it's capitalised which suggests this is the girl's actual name – who must organise a 'World Championship Twerk / Dance contest with twenty top Dance groups and DJ's( Real )'. We really want to experience the long version, alas the film was surprisingly never funded.
Judging by the picture, Twerk Island has suffered the devastating effects of erosion. Come high tide those twerkers would surely be carried off to a watery grave. As such, we can't help but wish this film was funded, if only to ensure all those involved in Twerk Island disappear forever. What's perhaps most alarming about this hopeless endeavour, aside from the fact that the guy behind it was asking for €1,000,000, is the fact that one person found it in their hearts to donate €30. Famous Rich Girl would be touched.
Funded? No (€1,000,000 goal, €30 pledged)
Cage Match: The world's first Nicolas Cage dating website
We feel bad putting this on a list of the worst crowdfunding campaigns, as it's actually awesome. So awesome, in fact, we can't believe it isn't a thing yet. What is Cage Match? It's an online dating app which matches you to other people based on your ranking of Nick Cage films. We'll let the inspired Kickstarter page speak for itself. But we implore you to back this thing now so we can get the Face/Off mode where everyone's profile pic gets changed to an image of John Travolta's face until you decide to reveal your true identity.

The wooden bow tie project
Because bow ties are so incredibly popular these days – I mean, everyone's wearing them, eh? – these guys came up with a whole new concept in neckwear to stand out from the likes of Pee-wee Herman, circus clowns and er... No, that's all we got. So, anyway, bow ties made from wood – stupid idea.
Funded? Yes ($1,000 goal, $1,659 pledged)
Op Beer Gadget
The Op is a beer drinker's multi-tool. It features a detachable bottle opener – so far, so useful – but its main function is as a belt-mounted beer holster. Apart from cowboys and secret agents, y'know who else needs a holster? No one. Besides, who in their right mind would walk around a crowded bar or party with their drink precariously strapped just a few inches from their crotch? OK, maybe cowboys – those leather chaps are waterproof and wipe-clean. So we're told.
Funded? Ongoing (€60,000 goal)
Skarp Laser Razer
This was one of the big stories of 2015. A razer with a FRICKING LASER BEAM for slicing your stubble off. Unbelievable, eh? Yeah, that's because it never existed, and Kickstarter suspended the project when it realised the people involved had never actually made a working prototype. It was all theoretical. So I'm thinking of trying to get funding for a toothbrush that has bristles ending in sub-atomic nanobots shaped like Hungry Hippos that can munch their way through plaque. No idea how to make one, but it sounds cool, right?
Funded? Yes ($160,000 goal, $4,005,111 pledged) SUSPENDED
Imagine the conversation: "Listen, guys, your phone's in your hand half the time, isn't it? And your e-cigarette's in your hand the other half, yeah? So why don't we take those two halves and make one super-efficient whole?" I'll tell you why not – because sucking on a phone case with an e-cigarette vaporizer thingy poking out of the top looks as futuristic as jamming a Raspberry Pi in your earhole and pretending to be a cyborg. Still, if its aim was to finally stop smoking from looking cool, then mission accomplished.
Funded? No ($50,000 goal, $911 pledged)
PAUL, the sexiest smartphone charger on the planet
Not sure where to start with this, quite frankly. It's like someone designed this specifically with Liberace in mind, even though Liberace's dead and never got to own a smartphone that needed charging from a tacky statue of a naked, dismembered man. The front's bad enough, but the "Butt Plug"... OMGWTF doesn't even come close. But hey, if you live in a gaudy love palace filled with cherub paintings and refuse to sit on a toilet seat unless it's covered in gold leaf, this would be just your thing.
Funded? No ($8,000 goal, $2,160 pledged)
Tentacle Bento
The less said about this "cheeky" card game, the better. Basically it involves tentacles violating school girls. Yeah. We'll leave it at that. Sadly, it actually got over double its funding goal before Kickstarter wrapped its own tentacles around the project and suspended it.
Funded? Yes ($13,000 goal, $30,701 pledged) SUSPENDED
Glasses-Free 3D Game for the iPhone
Want to turn your iPhone into a true 3D gaming machine? Simply stick this special film onto its screen and – hey presto! – absolutely bugger all will happen. Because it's not film made from magical Dragonglass forged in the Mines of Moria and quenched in the tears of a thousand gullible chumps.
Funded? No ($15,000 goal, $21 pledged)
Fish On Wheels
You remember that time... OK, you probably don't. It was after the 15th (maybe 16th) pint that you decided a shopping trolley looked like a splendid way to get home. Unfortunately, the sound geezer you met in the kebab shop wasn't entirely sober himself, and bounced off a few cars while taking you on circuits of the car park because he kept shouting that he wanted to smash the back doors off the course record set by "Skiddy" Brown during the summer of 1998. Anyway, the route you took on this epic bants-tastic night, had you retained enough coordination in your fingers to press record on Strava, would've resembled almost exactly that driven by a mechanised cart controlled by the motions of a goldfish. And testing that theory is probably the only reason you'd ever need Fish On Wheels.
Funded? No (€40,000 goal, €5,281 pledged)

He searched for gold
The desert stretched out in front of him like an ocean of sand; moon daubed dunes rolling towards the horizon where they disappeared into the dark night. He tightened his grip on the reins of his camel and dug his heels on its side, so that it went lurching forward, each stumbling footstep a sigh on the soft sand.
Beyond the dirt, he could see the faint outline of buildings. He could see the light and sense the warmth. He had found it. Amosis. The city of gold.
"What use have I for your money?" the guard laughed. "The Lord Osiris has blessed us with all the riches that we desire. Tell me traveller, what can you offer me that I do not already have?"
Hearing this, he withdrew his hand, and dropped the coins back into his pocket. Then drawing forth his hand, he showed the guard a silver revolver.
"Death," he said and pulled the trigger.
The shot ricocheted through the night, and as the guard fell with a soft thud, he saw lights turn on, and heard befuddled voices wondering what the noise could have been.
He stepped over the body of the guard and made his way through the gates, cloaked in shadows, unseen
He made his way through the twisting roads, the tall spires, glinting in the moonlight, cast long shadows on the paved ground. Everything was made of gold. Even the people wore garments woven with gold threads. Two minutes later, he reached a door, its hinges gilded with gold. He raised a hand and knocked twice.
The man who opened the door was a short, weaselly looking fellow, whose robes were bigger than his shrivelled self. He was clean shaven apart from his neatly trimmed moustache which hung over his thin lips.
"Sire," he said. "You have journeyed long. Do come in and rest."
"I am here on business, "was his reply.
"Sire, I will remind of the dangers which taint the task which you have so undertaken."
"You take me for a fool, Enlas. I have come equipped for these dangers you claim exist, "he said pulling out a revolver.
Enlas swallowed, his gaze fixed on the revolver. He bowed.
"I am afraid I must desist from this task, however well you have come equipped, I simply cannot-" Enlas stopped short as the back of a revolver hit him on the cheek. Blood gushed from the wound.
"You will have the whole Empire at war with you unless you show me the source of your gold,"he said to Enlas. "And quickly."
In the dead of the night, two men walked out of Amosis. Only Osiris, lord of the underworld, watched from his starry abode.
"The tomb of Amakhetra," Enlas said in a low tone as they stood before a small pyramid of gold bricks.
" You do not have a gold mine?" he asked.
"No,"Enlas replied. "This tomb bears the riches we are blessed with."
Enlas watched as he stepped into the tomb. It was dark inside. He brought out a flashlight.
"The sun will rise soon," Enlas murmured from outside the tomb.
He switched on the flashlight, and his jaw dropped. Before him, instead of riches, lay the bones of humans yellowed with age and scattered on the dusty floor.
Startled, he turned to Enlas "What-"
"Suddenly a gear turned, a spring jumped and the door of the tomb began to close.
He ran towards the entrance, but it was of no use. In the sliver of space that remained he could see Enlas laughing, the sand behind him glittering like gold.
"Behold our riches!"Enlas said, motioning to the desert. "Gold dust."
He dropped his flashlight, and the bulb broke, just as the tomb entrance closed shut, and as the darkness engulfed him, he faced his slow journey to Osiris.

Britain's male distance runners have been criticised for not training hard enough as the search for a home-bred winner of the London Marathon seems certain to stretch into another year. A British man has not crossed the line first since Eamonn Martin in 1993 and Cheltenham's Dan Robinson, who is expected to be the first Briton in this year's race, could finish as much as five minutes behind the winner.
Officials of the London Marathon donate as much as £250,000 per year to help the training and preparation of Britain's leading runners. But while the programme has produced a number of talented female runners, the men are still struggling to make an impact, much to the disappointment of Dave Bedford, the former world-record holder for 10,000 metres, who is now the race director of the London Marathon.
'It upsets some of the British men when they hear me say it, but I came up in a generation where people worked and even average runners ran fast on the back of a lot of work,' said Bedford. 'Unless these guys are being born as weaker species, which I doubt, what else can you look at as opposed to the amount of work?'
In contrast, the women are benefiting from the Paula Radcliffe effect. She is missing this year's race because her preparations were disrupted by a toe injury, but her former training partner Liz Yelling and junior team-mate Hayley Haining are predicted to make significant breakthroughs in a race in which Radcliffe's long-time Ethiopian rival Gete Wami is the favourite as they chase the one remaining place left in Britain's marathon squad for the Olympics in Beijing.

When they attempt to exit, they find that staircase has turned into infinitely repeating corridor from which they cannot escape. During the same time frame, a family leaves home for a vacation. They travel down a familiar road towards their destination. As time passes, the stretch of road and the surrounding desert begin to repeat. Like their counterparts in the stairwell, they are also stuck in a loop.

Hold Her HarderMature
A week had passed since I'd found the $100 and it had been the best week in 3 years. I'd hd food every day and I'd bought a new Jacket, plus, I was able to have a shower and buy a brush! Can you say awesome? Then again, the life of a street kid is never exactly awesome.
Tonight, while I was walking down the alley way to my "main shelter", I was jumped. But this wasn't a normal jump, this was a bunch of perverted rapists. I'd never dealt with them before.
"Hey cutie," said the first guy.
"Come here baby, let me see what's under that nice coat of yours," I wrapped my coat around myself and continued walking, but that didn't stop the thoughts going through their heads and into mine.
"Damn girl, for a street girl you sure are - "
"This one looks fiesty, probobaly better at what we've got in mi-"
"Come on bitch, let me fuck you baby!"
The thoughts almost made me cry, but I held out.
"Woo girl, you sure are damn sexy!" the third guy grabbed my shoulder and whipped me around. I let go of my jacket and lifted my fist, making contact with his right temple.
"Fuck you!" I screamed at him.
"Shut up!" I said. The other two started coming closer to me. I screamed. The second guy, the larger one, jumped on me and gagged my mouth.
"Shh," he whispered in my ear, cackling. Tears started freely flowing down my face. I yelled through the gag, trying to spit it out of my mouth. The first guy came and held my arms up as the second guy moved down my body. He unbuttoned my jeans, slowly sliding them off as I screamed muffled protests and cried.
"Johnny!" cried the second guy, "Hold her harder," Johnny kneed on my hands and I cried out in pain, though no one heard me. I felt the bone of my wrist digging into the pavement as it snapped in two.
"HELP ME!" I thought. I screamed it in my mind. I tried to kick out with my legs, I tried to get them off of me. I felt Johnny dig his knees harder into my wrists as he caressed my face with his hand.
"Shh," he said, laughing. Then, his laughter caught in his throat, and I felt the second guy stop lifting up my shirt. I looked up at Johnny. His veins were popping out of his neck and his face was red. It looked like he was being strangled.
"Johnny?" said the second guy. Then, Johnny fell to the ground, his head making a hard cracking sound. The second guy jumped off of me, pulling up his pants as he ran down the alley way, away from myself and the two unconscious guys. I ripped the gag from my mouth and looked around. As I pulled my pants up, I saw a bright light disappear around the corner. Was that my saviour? I ran around the corner, cradling my broken wrist and spitting on Johnny and the other guy as I went, kicking them, but there was no one around the corner. I looked down the other side, again no one. I sent out a silent "Thank you" to my saviour, and made my way off for my home base, crying the entire time by how close I'd come to rape and most likely death as well.

How much battering would your finances have to take before you would consider breaking the law? "I'd never do that!" you are no doubt crying. But according to a survey from Royal & Sun Alliance, 1.4 million of us consider insurance fraud more acceptable now than we did 12 months ago. Apparently that makes a total of almost 5 million of us that do not think making a false claim is wrong.
Typical examples of insurance fraud include failing to disclose motoring convictions or previous claims when applying for cover, or exaggerating claims by adding extra items to a genuine claim. More drastic examples include people hiding their valuables and staging a burglary in an attempt to claim thousands on their insurance policies, or dropping their old television down the stairs so they can claim for a new flat-screen model.
There are signs that people are not just considering fraud, but are going through with it. Fraudulent travel claims were up 80% by the end of last summer, according to the Association of British Insurance.
Holidaymakers were pretending that expensive cameras and iPods had been stolen, or were upping the value of what had been stolen in the case of genuine theft. Other travellers who suddenly realise the holiday they booked in more buoyant times is going to be unaffordable have been cancelling trips, feigning illness and then conning doctors into providing them with medical certificates to verify their "illness".
It may sound like a victimless crime, but some of the insurance fraud being committed is actually dangerous – "crash for cash" accidents staged by motorists planning to claim on their car cover are apparently putting other drivers at risk. And before you jump to conclusions about who is behind these crimes, no it is not necessarily the "Shameless" demographic.
Richard Davies, the group fraud risk manager for Axa, told the Telegraph: "Often they are middle-class families who are looking for a way of getting extra money to help with the mortgage or to service other debts."
Fraud costs the insurance industry an estimated £1.6bn every year. And where does this extra cost go? Yep, straight on to your insurance policy, adding £40 to the average annual household premium.
But would you consider trying to get one over on your insurer? Have you perhaps added an iPod you never owned to your genuine theft claim, an expensive camera to your stolen suitcase, perhaps? Or does the idea of this "middle-class theft" just appal you?


text: The umpire who was hit during a championship baseball game in Stephens County is cautiously reacting to the incident. David Scott told Channel Two Action News, "It came as a surprise, disbelief more than anything. I'd say the video pretty much speaks for itself. Other than that, I really don't have anything to say about it. I'm currently under a doctor's care and still waiting for all the results to be evaluated." Scott's attorney says they're waiting for that medical evaluation to determine if they will take any legal action. Earlier this week, the Georgia High School Association levied a $1,000 fine against the Stephens County high school and put the school's athletics program on severe warning status. Stephens County Principal David Friend called the punishment "fair" and said he was very disappointed in his players' behavior in the championship game. The catcher in the incident, Matt Hill, had been invited to walk on for the Gordon College baseball team. The coach of that team has since rescinded the offer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tsFSALrA1o

Bigmouthmedia are in the search engine optimisation, e-marketing and internet marketing business. With almost a decade of search engine experience, their knowledge and expertise gives their customers 100% confidence in achieving results, with their help.
In April this year, Nimlok set up an "Electronic Systems Architecture" team to focus on the companies web presence and needed to find a company to work with who were at the top of the SEO game. Nimlok teamed up with Bigmouthmedia and after just a few months, they are seeing exciting results.
This relationship has spread further into the exhibition world. Bigmouthmedia attended the Online Marketing show at the Royal Horticultural Halls, Westminster in June this year and needed an exhibition stand that would make a striking impression. They approached Nimlok. In just a short time, Nimlok and Bigmouthmedia came up with a exhibition stand concept and it was born at the online marketing show. Heather, marketing director at Bigmouthmedia comments:
"Bigmouthmedia needed an exhibition stand that was high impact, lightweight and flexible in size. We chose Nimlok based on their longstanding reputation for meeting and exceeding their brief. And we're glad we did. We proposed a bold site concept that might have made some exhibition stand designers run a mile. Nimlok took the challenge with both hands and developed our ideas using the basis of standard components to help keep costs down and to maximize flexibility. We're delighted with our stand, it's a true show stealer".
The visit to the show proved that Bigmouthmedia are not only ahead of the game when it comes to online media, they certainly stand out in an exhibition hall. They are still following up on their leads gained at the show to measure their success, but after talking to Simon, the account director from Bigmouthmedia during a visit to Edinburgh last week, it was deemed a massive success. "Being a sponsor of a show that is so relevant to our industry was a new experience for us and it was important that we portrayed a striking message". He added "The promotional material in the main entrance area made us a talking point even before visitors entered the main hall and saw the unique stand that Nimlok created for us. The Bigmouthmedia experience dominated the show and that was exactly what we wanted to achieve".

Thoughts After Ten
Chapter 17
My launch lasted as long as it took to get to the elevator. I slumped against the wall, waiting to get to the seventh floor. Surely a shower would perk me up.
Carlos was waiting for me, looking scrumptious in a pair of jeans and nothing else. Just looking at him, I started to feel better.
"Hey Babe, how was your day?" He pulled me to him, and I wrapped my arms around his waist and nuzzled into his chest.
"I'm still on my feet, and no one was blown up." I answered him.
"I planned this badly. So, new plan."
"What are you talking about?" He still forgot I didn't have ESP.
"I wanted to take you out for dinner and dancing, but you're exhausted."
"No, I just need a shower. I'm fine, truly."
He smiled down at me, and just barely brushed his lips across my forehead. "Liar. Here's the new plan. Dinner and dancing some other night when we can both enjoy it. Tonight, I'm taking you back to the cabin. You soak in a hot bath, and I cook dinner. If you play nice, I might be persuaded to massage those tired muscles of yours. How does that sound?"
I sighed as I tightened my arms around him. "Like heaven, actually."
He chuckled, and began walking us toward the door. "Is there anything in that bag you can't do without?" I shook my head, still leaning against him. "Good. Leave it here. We may get the opportunity to sneak off for that dinner at some point."
I handed him my keys, knowing I probably shouldn't be driving. He turned to me as we were pulling out of the garage. "Why don't you lay your seat back? You can power nap, and rest up for dinner."
I took his suggestion, and eased the seat back to a comfortable position. That was the last thing I remember until he woke me. "C'mon Babe, need to get you indoors."
I blinked, trying to wake up. I guess I didn't do a very good job at it. Carlos picked me up and carried me into the cabin, laying me down on the couch.
"Go back to sleep. Dinner may take a while." I nodded, my eyes already closed.
I woke to wonderful smells, and Carlos stroking the hair off my face. "Hey, sleepyhead, half an hour or so until dinner. Want that bath now?"
I smiled and nodded, as I tried to get up off the couch. I inhaled a hiss, my muscles had stiffened up and I could barely move. I tried to hobble to the bathroom, but he was having none of it.
As he picked me up and carried me, I told him, "You keep spoiling me like this, and I may start to expect it."
He kissed me as he stood me up next to the tub, then pulled back to whisper, "God, I hope so." He helped me undress, then picked me up again to set me gently in the water. Steadying me as I sat down and got comfortable, he leaned over for another quick kiss before saying, "I better check on dinner."
I exhaled a sigh, and sank down further into the water. I was starting to feel a little better already. I stretched a bit, trying to get my limbs to move the way I expected them to. I heard him come back in, and turned to watch him.
He was carrying a big plastic cup, and smiled as he approached. "Feeling better?"
"Definitely. Another two, three months in this tub, and I might start to feel human again."
He laughed, and filled the cup with warm water from the tub. I tilted my head up to look at him, just as he started wetting my hair. "Carlos."
"What are you doing?"
"Washing your hair."
Okay then, might as well relax and enjoy it, right? As soon as my hair was wet, he started with the shampoo. Working up a lather with his strong hands, he gave me a great scalp massage in the process. "Mmmm..."
"You like?"
"Very much."
"Good" He started the water to trickle into the tub, and used the cup to rinse. He towel dried my hair, then worked some kind of conditioner into it. Piling my hair on my head and securing it with a clip, he nudged me forward to wash my back. He shook his head and grinned, "I'd wash the rest of you, but that would definitely interfere with my plan to let you relax and sleep tonight." He gave me a quick kiss, then stood. "Dinner should be almost ready."
I thought about going back to sleep in the tub, but even if I didn't drown, I'd get all pruney. Besides, dinner smelled great. I finished bathing, dried and grabbed a robe. Carlos was just finishing setting the table. He smiled as he saw me. "That's a good look for you. You should wear it more often."
I shook my head at him, asking "What, sleepy drowned rat?"
He held out a chair for me, saying, "No, relaxed, half naked and wet."
I grinned, as he served up plates.
"Good choice." I told him. He'd made teriyaki chicken, wild rice, and stir fried veggies.
"Thanks. I hoped you'd like it."
"Wait a minute. Where did this food come from?"
"We stopped at the store on the way here."
Odd. I had no memory of that at all. Must be more tired than I thought. We ate quietly, just occasionally talking about light subjects. I started yawning over my plate, and Carlos said, "Go brush your teeth and get in bed. I believe I promised to rub your tired muscles for you."
I followed directions, for once. Carlos came in just as I was climbing into bed. He waited for me to get comfortable, then started to rub my neck. I was starting to drift by the time he got to my shoulder blades, when he asked. "Steph? Can I stay tonight?"
I reached down for him, saying "Please." I let myself drift off with his warm hands stroking me.

When Filip Hrgovic's right elbow sliced through both the epidermis and dermis, leaving David Haye requiring six stitches from a plastic surgeon, the pair joined a list of unfortunate fighters.
The cut happened late on Friday night in the second round of the last day of Haye's sparring for this Saturday's fight against Tyson Fury and everybody in the Vauxhall gym knew that the fight was off. Hrgovic, a Croat was not even the most dangerous of Haye's six or so sparring partners but he was just in the right place at the right time to end the multimillion-pound night.
Haye had six stitches inserted above his left eye and will find out later this week how long he will be out of the ring; there is bold talk of a December fight but next March or even April looks far more likely. Fury, meanwhile, will probably take a contest next month to stay busy, which is the sensible option.
There seemed to be genuine remorse in Haye's voice when he apologised to Fury and to all the fans who were due to pack the sold-out former MEN Arena in Manchester. I believe he is genuine because the purse, thought to be in excess of £3m, was the sole motivation for the fight and a long break could lead to the bout never happening.
It looked like one of the greatest fights in history would never happen when, in September 1974, George Foreman was cut above the right eye by Bill McMurray's left elbow. The pair were finishing off a long training camp at their base in Kinshasa, Zaire, when the cut, tiny compared to Haye's gash, opened up with just eight days left before the Rumble in the Jungle's original date of 25 September.
In addition to what has been said about Foreman trying to leave the country – there are lurid tales of armed guards confiscating his passport – it is a little-known fact that Muhammad Ali was even more desperate to flee and return to America. However, Ali, who would be in Zaire for a total of 57 days, sought wise counsel, stayed and exploited Foreman's desire to run away. "Ali kept telling everybody that 'George is scared, George doesn't like Africa, George doesn't like Africans.' Ali just put up with it," said Gene Kilroy, Ali's friend and business manager.
Had either boxer left Zaire there is every chance that, for a variety of financial reasons, one of sport's most iconic events would have simply never taken place. They both had to stay, not exactly prisoners but they were each warned about the consequences of flight by President Mobutu Sese Seko's henchmen. He was, after all, a nasty little despot who ran Zaire for 32 years and he was delighted when the pair finally fought on 30 October.
When Ray Webb, a good little fighter from Hackney, landed flush with a right hand on Michael Watson's nose in November 1989 it was the last day, last round and last few seconds of sparring for Watson's WBA middleweight title fight against Mike McCallum. " What could I do? Ray was an old friend, a good friend," said Watson.
The nose was broken and the fight at the Alexandra Palace was off. Watson had not fought since May and McCallum, perhaps realising the delay would be longer than expected, took a hard, 12-round defence in February 1990 against Steve Collins. Watson could only look on in despair.
He finally got his chance against McCallum in April 1990 but Watson had been out of the ring for 11 months and the inactivity cruelly ruined his performance; he was stopped in the 11th round and his timing looked off. "The 11-month gap robbed me of the title. I know it did, but I can't blame Ray," Watson said.
Nobody is blaming McMurray, Webb or even big Filip for their wayward elbows and well-placed punches but it is, all the same, a dreadful shame when a big fight collapses at such short notice. Fury was probably at a peak mentally and physically, and I hope he can maintain it; Haye thrives on long breaks and, once the cosmetic stuff is over, will be back to normal.

Chapter Twelve, Part Five: Hell is for HandbasketsMature
How exactly does an object become melancholy? it muses as it rifles and sifts through pairs of chartreuse lace stockings, cream and black-striped gaudy French dresses and endless boring pantaloons for more documents. It has already found the, what was it called? Shopping List, hidden in a perception-filtered hat box.
The Doctor's voice floats up again, into the Hand's thoughts. Abruptly, it imagines them coursing through its constructed bare bit of wrist somewhere. "Now Handy, there's my Extra-Special Extra-Handy-Hand! Where do you think you should look next? Surely you've had enough of crossdressing and corsets and would like some nice after dinner material, eh? I think it's time to write a letter… but remember to put the isometric locks back where you dissolved them! We don't want the nice assassin to discover we've been admiring his fancy colours…"
Of course! The desk. The Hand had forgotten the desk until the clawfoot leg had smacked it in the finger. It would surely scowl, had it a mouth. Or a face. The noble furniture of the Citadel were not as haughty as the House furniture, but they still could give one quite a bit of lip. The desk, however, keeps silent under the Hand's eyeless gaze, because it knows the Hand could deconstruct it into its individual atoms.
Not that the Doctor would have let it. The desk isn't that bad, anyhow, not like the man who had placed it in this room. The Assassin.

Chelsea playmaker Oscar has revealed he had contact with Paris Saint-Germain about a move to the Ligue 1 champions, but says he is going nowhere.
The 22-year-old, who joined the Blues from Internacional for £25 million two years ago, became a key player for the team under Jose Mourinho last season as he begun the campaign superb form, edging Juan Mata out of a regular spot in the side.
However, he found himself on the fringes during the latter part of the season due to a dip in form, and did not feature in either of the Champions League quarter-final clashes with PSG.
PSG coach Laurent Blanc refused to rule out a move for Oscar or Eden Hazard towards the end of the season as the sides prepared to meet. But the midfielder, who has impressed with Brazil at the World Cup, insists his future lies in London.
"My future? I had contacts with PSG, that is true, but it did not go any further," he told L'Equipe.
"And next season, I will stay at Chelsea."
Chelsea have already added Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas to their squad for next season and it has been suggested that Oscar could be replaced in the team if his performances do not improve.
Oscar has made 111 appearances for the West London outfit, scoring 23 goals.

I wasn't trying to chew you out personally, my comments were more or less a base eye opener for everyone considering the idea that the component cost = actual cost.
Hopefully nobody was offended, that wasn't my intent at all just again a hope that people would realise that there is much more involved then part price breakdown lists.
Over on the neogaf forums we have a far bigger problem with people bashing Sony over the prices, and frankly the media lately has been a bunch of uninformed instigators as far as hate goes for any new console other then apple products it seems.
I mean look at the terrible press that the 3DS got, yeah it might have deserved it, I know I felt pretty sucked in having a $250 system with no games for months, but in the end it caught up and is doing well.
Sony is no different, if things really do end up being bad they will step up efforts and ride out the storm, but the lesson learned is that right now in this day and age, media feeds on negative feedback of any kind, it is much easier to focus on doom then good, and you can see how just about every site enjoys flip-floppng back and forth between concepts to match the fad of the day to get hits.
Take a look at IGN, those idiots can't seem to figure out whether they like or hate anything, one day they post a "X System is destined to Succeed" article and then the next day they post "X System isn't worth buying" articles.
I encourage everyone to actually think for themselves, do your own research, and stop taking really biased opinions against anything because the way things have been going lately it's like everyone on the internet has personal stocks in apple lol, no hate towards them but I swear it's surprising that the thing hasn't been credited with curing cancer and aids while playing COD3, and making me dinner.
Sarcasm aside, if you think about it you will actually get a good laugh at how true it is...
Keep in mind the terrible press that Sony got from the whole hacking fiasco ended up being a good marketing pitch for them in the long run, there is no such thing as bad press and exposure, the more these random copy-cat bloggers cry about everything the more likely someone will read about the Vita themselves and be aware of it's release etc.
Thankfully not everyone believes everything they read or see on tv/internet otherwise we wouldn't even be having this chat on here

Gartner Research predicts that the typical family home will contain as many as 500 networked devices by 2020. Similarly, Ericsson forecasts 50 billion connected "things" by the same date. Reaching these lofty projections over the next four years, however, will require a fundamental reorientation in the way that technologists and product designers work together to create successful "connected" personal devices and home appliance products. This evolution to "Internet of Things (IoT) 2.0" will be difficult for many companies to achieve — not for lack of technological expertise but because they'll fail to recognize the value of design in connected product development.
Machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity — the forerunner of consumer-focused IoT — has been around for decades. Overwhelmingly, those IoT 1.0 applications pushed technology to address B2B market requirements.
Product design considerations in the IoT 1.0 world are not critical to persuading customers to adopt offerings. Enterprise IoT buyers seldom require great design, because most often the buyer is not the product's end user. Fleet logistics companies, for example, monitor the condition and location of their vehicles. Their developers focus on meeting operational and environmental requirements, caring little about the physical appearance or user experience of a dashboard- or engine-compartment-mounted device that monitors vehicle data.
However, as the application of IoT expands to a broader range of commercial opportunities, enterprise B2B applications have become B2B2C. Fleet vehicle operators now directly engage with IoT devices that can measure their physical condition as well as their driving behavior. As B2C companies rush to exploit new IoT applications, pushing technology to potential end users no longer works. Increasingly, the pull of user experience will drive market demand, and product design will be critical to getting consumers to adopt offerings in this new IoT 2.0 world.
The fundamental principle in the IoT 2.0 era is that IoT is not the end product. The IoT is not an iPhone, a networking application, or a wearable device. Customers do not buy IoT. In fact, studies suggest that most consumers are unaware of what IoT is or does. IoT connectivity can enhance a product's value, but it can never serve as the rationale for the customer purchase.
This misunderstanding of IoT's role is contributing to a growing list of commercial failures by product manufacturers. Their excuses for missteps include security issues, complexities of managing product life cycles, and lack of interoperability. But most often the root cause is that IoT companies with traditional B2B business models and B2B2C distribution channels have been pushing IoT technology rather than addressing the pull of customer needs and tastes.
One notable example of this type of IoT failure involves the demise of Revolv, a home automation hub designed to communicate with any light switch, garage door opener, home alarm, heating or AC unit, and entertainment system. The product's manufacturer, Nest, which is now owned by Google, recently informed Revolv customers that their devices would no longer function. So Revolv now serves as a classic example of an IoT product that was long on technology and features and short on addressing the needs of customers.
This kind of "tech push" occurs when both management and engineering discount the value of effective design for representing the emotional and physical connections to the end user. Product function is valued more highly than the expected or actual user experience.
When end users fail to engage with an IoT offering, technology is most often viewed as the problem and solution: "We need better security." "We need to be interoperable with these other products.
