It's one of the most evocative greetings in all of rock and roll, uttered by 'Wired for Sound' hellraiser Cliff Richard to sold-out audiences a record-breaking 63 times.
But it might soon be a thing of the past, now that big-six member SSE has taken up the £15m, 10-year naming rights of 'iconic' north London enormo-dome Wembley Arena. "GOOD EVENING SSE ARENA!" doesn't have quite the same ring about it.
If you've been attending pop concerts over the past 15 years or so, you can't have failed to see the creeping commodification of live music. At this rate, it wouldn't even be a huge surprise to see a well-known price comparison site sponsoring a forthcoming tour by, oh, we don't know, Shakatak or someone.
But while railing against the commercialisation of gigs is a bit like King Cnut trying to hold back a tidal wave of enormous magnitude, the whole episode illustrates what the smaller energy companies are up against in the marketing stakes.
While the big six won't think twice about dropping a cool couple of mil' on the naming rights to a stadium, or the FA Cup, or getting the rights to a Blur song to use on an expensive TV ad campaign, it's not exactly an option for the plethora of smaller suppliers, even if they can sometimes offer a better deal than the big boys (depending on your usage and circumstances). It's just a shame that the consumer often doesn't know about it.
In fact, new research from Gocompare.com this week found that relative minnows in the market such as Ovo, First Utility and Extra Energy can offer cheaper tariffs than the big boys. Don't believe us? Just look at this research.
Jeremy Cryer, energy expert at Gocompare.com, mused: "Consumers are becoming aware that small suppliers work to the same rules as the big providers, and are often competitive on price and customer service.
"It's also worth noting that, below a threshold of 250,000 customers, suppliers don't have to to meet certain licence conditions like the paying of green levies.
"This can help them to offer more competitive tariffs," he added, as he slipped into his favourite, weathered Saxon tour t-shirt.
"However, there's no single tariff from any supplier, large or small, that's best for everyone, so it's important that people compare tariffs from as many providers as possible to find the one that is best for them."
Anyway, the Money Shot is now thoroughly looking forward to trying to 'lose itself' at a pop concert, while being mentally haunted by images of a quarterly energy bill landing on its welcome mat. Rock on, Tommy!
Short change – money news in brief
While we're on the subject of energy, it transpires that complaints to the energy ombudsman have risen by 224% during the first quarter of this year.
Banks must update their 'aged' IT systems, reckons the head of the Prudential Regulation Authority, Andrew Bailey.
The Office of National Statistics reported a further heating up of the housing market, with prices rising across the country.
New culture secretary Sajid Javid has provoked the ridicule of anyone who goes to sports events and concerts regularly by suggesting that secondary ticket touts who flog bulk-bought tickets for events at exorbitant prices are "classic entrepreneurs" who fulfil a "gap in the market" and should be free from regulation.
Virgin Media has cut off an elderly couple's broadband and TV after they refused to pay a £900 bill for 'blue movies' which someone had or hadn't watched.
You can use it to easily work out your taxable earnings and compare them to notable 'slebs like Leo DiCaprio, Simon Cowell and the Queen. Fancy that!
On Covered mag this week
Easter - it's extreme, finds Emily Bater.
Is it time to think about your current account? Perhaps, says Kristian Dando.
Abbie Laughton-Coles counted the cost of getting seven-a-day.
Bonking bad? It turns out that telly box-sets are getting in the way of passion.
Are these the best roads in the world? Phil Huff certainly thinks so.
And finally
We haven't spoken about flood for, oooh, a couple of weeks now. But what with Russell Crowe's Noah stinking out multiplexes across the land, it seems prudent to get them back on the agenda.
Alas, this week we're going a little less biblical in scale. South West Water has revealed some of the hair-raising items that they've found causing floods from blockages down drains, including false teeth, bikes, dead sheep and even a sex toy.
"When it comes to clearing blockages, we've come to expect the unexpected," revealed a South West Water spokesman. "When we're looking for the cause, it could be anything, and it's surprising what you do find. The sex toy found actually caused a major internal flood."
Speaking of drains, Shropshire residents were left cautiously peering down their toilets after Amazonian piranhas were found lurking in the sewers this week. Crikey!
Join us next week for another THRILLING instalment of THE MONEY SHOT.

Schedule Creep: When the Most Convenient Time for Personal Tasks Is at Work
Planning for my family's Midwestern reunion next month has been spilling over into work hours, bringing on some multitasking headaches. Apparently, my bad boundaries place me squarely in a majority of U.S. workers.
Most employees plan their vacations on company time, says a recent Harris Interactive survey of 2,065 adults for Randstad US, a staffing concern. (Young workers below age 45 are the most likely to do so, the survey also found.) The data reflect a general trend toward personal pursuits spilling into work time. Many jugglers save part of the work day for Little League coaching work, planning kids' birthday parties, team-manager duties for kids' sports or heading school fundraisers, as I've written in the past. For some, integrating extracurricular pursuits with office life is the only way to get everything done.
For other workers, however, stealing work time for personal matters is payback for "schedule creep" – the tendency of work to expand beyond allotted hours and fill all available time…

Robust contour reconstruction of red blood cells and parasites in the automated identification of the stages of malarial infection
- First Online:
- Received:

- 156 Downloads
We present a novel method for detecting malaria parasites and determining the stage of infection from digital images comprising red blood cells (RBCs). The proposed method is robust under varying conditions of image luminance, contrast and clumping of RBCs. Both strong and weak boundary edges of the RBCs and parasites are detected based on the similarity measure between local image neighborhoods and predefined edge filters. A rule-based algorithm is applied to link edge fragments to form closed contours of the RBCs and parasite regions, as well as to split clumps into constituent cells. A radial basis support vector machine determines the stage of infection from features extracted from each parasite region. The proposed method achieves 97% accuracy in cell segmentation and 86% accuracy in parasite detection when tested on a total of 530 digitally captured images of three species of malaria parasites: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium berghei.

so recently my son has started in with some disgusting behaviors, I don't want him engaging in any of these... I need advice on curbing them.
1) peeing onto his bed, not in it, but literally pulling it out and peeing on it!
2) when he has accidents he plays with his poop, smears it ALL over his room
3) OBSESSIVELY playing with his boy parts, getting it "stuck" (stiff), and just nonstop playing with it
I am so grossed out and want it all to stop. :(

This review is from: Manufacturer Recertified OCZ Vertex 2 3.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD3-2VTX120G
Fast when worked. No frills drive
red "panic mode" light on after 9 months of use. Tech support totally incompetent, but will respond withing 30 minutes to tell you you are out of warranty!! 6 month warranty is too short
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Valued Consumer,
I am very sorry to read your refurbished Vertex 2 developed an issue after 9 months of use. What you have been told by our tech support is correct - if we are unable to recover the drive remotely (we often can) the refurbished Vertex 2 does carry a 180 day warranty. If the warranty period has expired we cannot resolve the situation with a warranty replacement. The tech who helped you should have offered technical support, regardless of whether the product is eligible for a RMA. If this did not happen please contact us again.
Having to file a warranty claim is rare. If your next purchase has the requirement of a longer warranty, I recommend purchasing a new Vector 150 (5-year warranty period) or Vertex 460 (3-year warranty period). Full OCZ Storage Solutions Limited Warranty terms can be read using the link below.
Thank you very much for your puchase and I apologize for the sudden issues.

|The potential energy surface for the electronic ground state of $H_{2}{^{16}} O$ determined with a new level of accuracy
|Polyansky, Oleg L.; Jensen, Per; Tennyson, Jonathan
|Issue Date:
|Ohio State University
|The potential energy function for the electronic ground state of the water molecule has been obtained by fitting rotation-vibration terms value involving $J \leq 14$ for 24 vibrational states of $H_{2}^{16}O$ together with 25 additional vibrational term values belonging to higher excited states. The fitting was carried out by means of an exact kinetic energy Hamiltonian. It was found that the differences between the exact kinetic energy calculations and calculations with MORBID program (i.e., calculations with approximate kinetic energy operator) depend only very slightly on the particular parameters of the potential. This fact allowed us to make an inexpensive fitting using the MORBID approach and still get the accuracy obtainable with the exact kinetic energy Hamiltonian. The standard deviation for 1600 term values was $0.36 cm^{-1}$. For 220 ground state energy levels the standard deviation was $0.03 cm^{-1}$. With the fitted potential, calculations of term value with $J \leq 35$ were carried out. This showed the excellent predictive power of this potential. For instance the discrepancy for the highest observed $K_{a} = 20$ level of the ground state, $20_{200}$, is only $0.001 cm^{-1}$. The discrepency for the observed level with the highest {J}, $35_{035}$ was $0.1 cm^{-1}$. Because of the level of accuracy achieved in these calculations, we can for the first time demonstrate the breakdown of the Born Oppenheimer approximation for the water molecule. The high $K_{a}$ level calculations allow us to show that the rotational energy level structure in water is at least of a very different nature than the four-fold cluster structure observed for $H_{2}Se$ and calculated for $H_{2}S, H_{2}Se$ and $H_{2}Te$.

How Do I Get Paid (Methods of Payment)
Most U.S. firms exporting to Vietnam conduct business on a documentary basis and use various methods of payment, such as letters of credit (L/Cs), drafts and wire transfers. All foreign businesses dealing with Vietnam should insist on using confirmed, irrevocable L/Cs when initiating relationships with new importers and distributors. Vietnamese companies often will resist the use of confirmed L/Cs, because of the additional cost and collateral requirements required by Vietnamese and international banks.
Local companies with acceptable credit risk (mainly State-Owned (SOEs) and major private enterprises) have been able to obtain credit facilities, including import finance from foreign banks. For these importers, confirmation of L/Cs opened by their foreign bank may not be required and faster payment can be expected.
In the past, most Vietnamese companies have requested deferred payment L/Cs, with extensions of up to 360 and even 540 days. Most lenders have stopped this practice until the banking system's liquidity status improves. At present, sight L/Cs and L/Cs up to 60, 90 or 120 days are most common.
In years past, exporters had to ensure that Vietnamese banks opening L/Cs were located in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, because they found a general lack of expertise in dealing with L/Cs at Vietnamese bank branches situated outside of these principal commercial centers. Most local banks have solved this issue by establishing two to three customer service centers to take care of L/Cs open at all bank branches, in an effort to provide customers with equivalent services. Care should also be taken as to which bank will open the L/C.
Foreign banks have greater capacity, but costs will be lower if the L/C is opened by one of the four state-owned banks or private banks. Costs will be higher if a foreign bank confirms the L/C, but L/C confirmation will shift risk from the Vietnamese bank and account party to a foreign bank, which can be a high quality risk. After establishing a commercial relationship with and the financial credibility of a local importer, U.S. exporters have offered goods against less restrictive forms of payment, including consignment, but this can be risky.
In 2006, the Government changed its regulation that required Vietnamese companies to deposit 80 percent of the L/C value prior to its opening at the bank. The banks now decide to collect the deposits from companies based on their credit worthiness. This deposit can range from 0-100 percent
How Does the Banking System Operate
The opening of Vietnam's economy has placed new demands on a financial sector that until the early 1990s operated largely in isolation from international standards and practices. Vietnam is making progress in developing the basic infrastructure to support a modern banking system and financial markets, but neither meets international standards.
The central bank, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), is the main financial regulatory agency. The SBV supervises two policy banks (the Social Policy Bank of Vietnam and the Vietnam Development Bank), four state-owned commercial banks (SOCBs) Vietinbank, BIDV, Agribank and the Housing Bank of Mekong Delta), 37 joint-stock (private) banks, five joint-venture banks, 53 representative offices of foreign banks, 37 branches of foreign banks, 15 financial companies and 13 financial leasing companies. The SBV is not an independent body like the U.S. Federal Reserve and it continues to operate under government oversight. In some key areas of operation, such as the provision of liquidity support, monetary policy, the management of foreign currency reserves and foreign exchange rates and issuance of banking licenses, the SBV's actions are subject to prime ministerial approval.
The banking trade association, Vietnam Bankers Association (VNBA), was founded in 1994 and acts as a link between the banks and the authorities, including: disseminating policies, mechanisms and laws on banking operations to its members; protecting the interests of the members; training and research, and; expanding international banking co-operation. VNBA's authority over its members is limited.
The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and other international donors, including the United States, are assisting Vietnam to implement financial reforms to ensure the stability and promote the effectiveness of the banking system and the financial sector. The reform program focuses on three main areas: restructuring of joint-stock banks, restructuring and equitization of the SOCBs, improving the regulatory framework and enhancing transparency. Other ongoing projects aim to modernize the inter-bank market, create an international accounting system and allow outside audits of major Vietnamese banks. The SBV is also in the process of strengthening its own internal processes and enhancing the level of inspection and supervision of the banks within its jurisdiction. The SBV is also preparing regulations to implement the Basel capital accord in calculating risk-adjusted assets and risk-adjusted capital ratios. Increasingly, more SOCBs are audited by independent auditing firms.
The GVN requires all banks to establish controlling committees and institute internal audit functions. In practice, prudent banking practices are not always adhered to. According to the SBV's estimates, sector?wide non?performing loans (NPLs) deteriorated to 2.5 percent of system?wide loans at end?2009 (2008: 2.1 percent) and sector?wide special?mention loans (SMLs) were about 6.5 percent. However, the true level of non-performing and under-performing loans is difficult to gauge, as there is a very low level of transparency and disclosure in Vietnam's banking sector. Secrecy laws cover much of the banking industry's data and meaningful information on individual financial institutions is not readily available. Some analysts estimate that NPLs in Vietnam's banking system could actually account for 15-20 percent of outstanding loans.
In 2007, the SBV introduced rules for classification of non-performing loans, which conform to international standards. It also allowed banks to accelerate loan terms and gave them more discretion in setting penalty interest rates on overdue debts. As of December 2008, all financial institutions have instituted internal credit rating and risk assessment mechanisms. Vietnam's banking system is very weakly capitalized, with the market being highly concentrated at the top and fragmented at the bottom. As required by SBV regulations, small banks are now in the process of raising additional charter capital to meet the increased minimum capital requirement of VND 3 trillion (USD 167 million), due by the end of 2010. Bank consolidations will likely take place before the end of the year with those banks unable to meet the new capital requirement.
The GVN says that it intends to partially privatize ("equitize") all SOCBs by 2010. The banking equitization process will allow foreigners to buy shares but will cap foreign equity at 30 percent. These restrictions will be lifted in 2012 (five years after WTO accession). The first pilot initial public offering (IPO), Vietcombank's, took place in December 2007 after years of delays. Vietinbank conducted an IPO in December 2008. Both banks plan to list on Vietnam's stock market. They, however, have not yet identified a strategic investor due to unsolved obstacles in pricing and the state remains the controlling shareholder.
Joint-stock banks have been more successful at raising private capital, selling part of their equity to foreign investors (mainly investment funds or financial institutions) or issuing convertible bonds or additional shares. The joint stock banks are on average much smaller than the SOCBs, but they are more efficiently operated and professionally managed. The non-performing loans of these banks are widely believed to be lower than those of SOCBs.
Domestic banks can take dollar deposits. Foreign banks can also do so, provided that they are properly licensed. Residents and non-residents can open and maintain foreign exchange accounts with authorized banks in Vietnam.
In 2008, the State Bank of Vietnam for the first time granted licenses to wholly foreign-owned banks: HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, ANZ, Hong Leong and Shinhan Vina. The current ceiling for a foreign strategic shareholder in a local joint stock bank is set at 20 percent of the total charter capital.
Although the banking sector remains small, banking networks and services have been expanding rapidly and there is great potential for banks to develop the retail banking business (approximately 75 percent of Vietnam's 86 million people have never accessed banking services while the remaining 25 percent have not taken full advantage of banking services.) In 2008, the GVN began paying its Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City employees by direct bank deposit only, and since January 2009 all government employees nationwide (including provincial staff) are paid in this way.
Since 2000, banks have been required to insure all dong deposits. The maximum insured amount is VND50 million (nearly $3,000) per account or individual per bank. The effectiveness of deposit insurance has not been tested. Vietnamese banks do not have Bank for International Settlement (BIS) tier ratings.
Foreign-Exchange Controls
Conversion of Vietnamese dong into hard currency no longer requires foreign exchange approval and Vietnam has not had a foreign exchange surrender requirement since 2003. The Law on Investment allows foreign investors to purchase foreign currency at authorized banks to finance current and capital transactions and other permitted transactions. The availability of foreign exchange has been an intermittent problem since the middle of 2008, largely because of an outflow of private portfolio investments.
Foreign businesses are allowed to remit in hard currency all profits, shared revenues from joint ventures, and income from legally-owned capital, properties, services and technology transfers. Foreigners also are allowed to remit royalties and fees paid for the supply of technologies and services, principal and interest on loans obtained for business operations and investment capital and other money and assets under their legitimate ownership.
In principle, most foreign investors are expected to be 'self-sufficient' for their foreign exchange requirements, although this sometimes proves impractical. The GVN guarantees foreign currency for certain types of foreign investors in the event that banks permitted to trade foreign currency are unable to fully satisfy their foreign currency demand.
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has adopted a crawling-peg foreign exchange control mechanism. In 2008, the State Bank of Vietnam adjusted the official exchange rate (reference rate) and expanded the official trading band for dollar and Vietnamese dong exchange transactions several times, effectively devaluing the dong by 7.25 percent. The dong was devalued an additional 5.44 percent in November 2009, and the trading band for dollar was limited to 3 percent around the reference rate. Commercial banks are allowed to determine the differential between currency selling and buying prices within the stated trading band. Slowed exports coupled with declining FDI and portfolio investments in 2009 put additional pressure on hard currency availability in general, and on dollars in particular.
U.S. Banks and Local Correspondent Banks
At present, five U.S. banks and financial institutions are operating in Vietnam. Citibank and Far East National Bank have branches, Wachovia and Visa International have representative offices, and JP Morgan Chase has both a branch and a representative office. GE Money used to have a financial company, but has since closed down its operations in Vietnam.
Of the state-owned banks, Vietcombank, Vietinbank, the Bank for Agriculture and the Bank for Investment and Development, have the most active correspondent relationships with U.S. banks. Several joint-stock banks also have correspondent relationships, such as the Asian Commercial Bank (ACB), East Asia Bank (EAB), Vietnam Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank), the Maritime Bank, Saigon Commercial and Industrial Bank, Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Bank (Sacombank), Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Techcombank), and the Vietnam Commercial Joint-Stock Bank for Private Enterprise (VP Bank).
Project Financing
United States Government-supported export financing, project financing, loan guarantee and insurance programs are available for transactions in Vietnam through the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank) and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). Both EXIM and OPIC have increased their engagement with and support for U.S. businesses in Vietnam during 2009. The establishment of these two agencies' programs in Vietnam, coupled with the activities of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA), which provides grants for feasibility studies, technical assistance, and training for commercial projects being pursued by U.S. firms, has enhanced the competitiveness of U.S. companies in Vietnam.
The Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank) offers export financing of American products through loans and loan guarantees, as well as providing working capital guarantees and export credit insurance. Information on EXIM Bank programs in Vietnam can be accessed at www.exim.gov. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) encourages private American business investment in emerging economies by providing project financing, fund investments, and insurance against breach of contract, political risk, currency inconvertibility, expropriation and political violence. OPIC has been in operation in Vietnam since the Jackson-Vanik Waiver of 1998.
In principle, state-owned banks could provide export financing to U.S. firms operating in Vietnam, but in reality, such financing is more likely to come from joint-stock banks or the branches of foreign banks in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. Many foreign firms finance such exports internally.
When dealing with importers or financing originating in Vietnam, U.S. suppliers should request irrevocable letters of credit (L/Cs). They should have one of their correspondent banks confirm the L/Cs. Foreign banks tend to deal for trade financing only with the three state-owned banks (Vietinbank, BARD and BIDV) and major joint-stock banks (Vietcombank, ACB, EXIM Bank, Maritime Bank, SACOM Bank and Techcombank).
U.S. banks present in Vietnam include Citigroup, Far East National bank, JP Morgan Chase and Visa International. Other U.S. banks operate out of operations centers in nearby countries. All of the American banks offer trade financing services to U.S. companies, with Far East National, JP Morgan and Citibank offering on-shore services as licensed branches. Other large foreign banks operating in Vietnam include ABN Amro Bank, ANZ Bank, BFCE, Bank of China, Credit Lyonnais, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, ING Bank, May Bank, OCBC, Standard Chartered Bank and UOB. In 2008, the State Bank of Vietnam for the first time granted licenses to wholly foreign-owned banks: HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, ANZ, Hong Leong and Shinhan Vina. Although almost all foreign banks concentrate on wholesale banking, some offer retail banking services, ATM and electronic on-line services. In October 2009, Citibank became the first U.S. bank to offer retail banking services, competing with ANZ, Standard Charter Bank, and HSBC in this unexploited market segment.
Bilateral government tied aid, commonly offered by other governments, sometimes provides non-U.S. companies with a comparative advantage that affects American trade performance in Vietnam. These may take the form of soft loan programs designed to support a particular country's exporters. American firms, otherwise competitive on price and quality, sometimes lose contracts because they cannot compete with the low interest rates and/or soft repayment terms offered by the government of a competing company. EXIM and OPIC financial products may somewhat offset this disadvantage.
Project Financing: Vietnam secures a substantial portion of its development funding from Official Development Assistance (ODA), including from the multilateral development banks, primarily the World Bank (WB) and Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). American firms can participate in projects funded by these agencies.
The World Bank maintains a relatively large funding program for Vietnam. Projects focus on macro-economic policy, financing policies, and infrastructure projects in the power, energy, transportation and environmental sectors. Procurements for World Bank funded projects are conducted using competitive bidding procedures.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) provides the largest development funding for investment projects concentrating in power, transportation, fishing, agriculture and the environment. Tenders are also conducted based on international bidding standards. Both the World Bank, through the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the ADB, through its Private Sector Group, offer both debt and equity for private sector projects in a wide variety of business sectors. Financing through these agencies can have long lead times (12 months or more), so U.S. firms need to apply early if they want access to support for investment projects.
The Japanese Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) is a merger of the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (OECF) and the Japanese Export Import Bank (JEXIM). JBIC is a general untied funding agency, which provides financing for infrastructure projects. American firms are eligible to compete for JBIC loan projects in accordance with procurement notices published by the recipient Government or Government-related agencies. Opportunities can include prime contractor and sub-contractor roles. U.S. firms can also receive financing of up to 85 percent of an international trade transaction if the sale contains at least 30 percent Japanese goods. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) provides funding for industrial and agriculture development. UNDP is active in Vietnam across a broad range of industry and social sectors and sponsors numerous public sector, social, agricultural, and refugee assistance programs. Project tenders are conducted in the same manner as World Bank tenders.
In recent years, 12 domestic and international leasing companies have received licenses to conduct business in Vietnam. While the initial capitalization is small ($5-13 million), these companies could play a significant role as alternative financiers in the future, focusing on the leasing of capital equipment. At present, their ability to transact business is limited because credit insurance for leasers is not available in Vietnam. The leaser must therefore carefully scrutinize potential clients. There are also certain legal constraints to the ownership of leased goods.
Medium, and possibly longer-term, financing is also available from commercial banks in Vietnam, although loans are provided mostly in Vietnamese currency (Dong). Foreign investors are encouraged to approach the branches of major foreign banks, as the state banks tend to favor Vietnamese state-owned enterprises.
Another major source of project financing comes from over fifty private equity funds. These funds have been investing mostly in tourism, power, manufacturing, environment and infrastructure projects. As a result of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, the availability of money through private equity funds has been more difficult to obtain than in the past. Availability of loan guarantees: A wide variety of bilateral and multilateral loan guarantee programs are available to U.S. companies from such organizations as the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Overseas Private Insurance Corporation, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank.
Although Vietnamese banks and their regulators tend to have a strong preference for collateral, it may be possible for U.S. firms to utilize parent company or third-party guarantees in seeking loans. That said, most foreign companies operating in Vietnam will not rely primarily on the local banking system for financing.

Bolton Wanderers were an English football team.
In the FA Cup Final against Blackpool in 1953, Blackpool was down 3-1 when their player Stanley Matthews did three set-ups in the last 20 minutes, which allowed his team to score. Bill Perry scored the final goal of the match and Blackpool won 4-3. John Ellis charged his son Alan Ellis' friends a shilling each to watch the match on his new television.
On 18 December of that year, John, Diane Holmes and Emma-Louise Cowell were on their way to Dublin in Diane's plane, the Sky Gypsy, when it flew through the Cardiff Rift and ended up in Cardiff in 2007. John discovered that his son Alan was now 70 years old and suffered from Alzheimer's disease. When John discussed the match with him, Alan recalled that Blackpool had won but he failed to recognise his father. (TV: Out of Time)

Very disappointing despite decent graphics.
With a years head-start on the competition, Microsoft is in a unique position to dazzle gamers with the Xbox 360 and coax them away from the forthcoming PS3 and Wii. But if the console behemoth keeps churning out rubbish like this, its latest box of tricks will squander its chance to edge ahead of the pack.
Rather than offering anything unique, Ninety-Nine Nights resorts to the sort of button-bashing tedium that went out of fashion a decade ago, the battles failing to offer any of the strategy evident in Koeis Dynasty Warriors and instead expecting players to be happy hitting the same two buttons ad nauseam. An uninspiring plot and shocking enemy intelligence dont help matters, preventing the imaginative graphics from justifying Ninety-Nine Nights premium price tag.

Aldershot, Farnham & District's Men's and Women's flew the flag for Britain on the European stage this weekend - and did the nation proud.
The six-strong teams contested the European Champion Clubs Cup Cross Country Championship in Albufeira, Portugal at the weekend, going head-to-head with the best clubs and runners on the continent.
Both teams put up a fantastic performance against larger, heavier-financed European clubs with the dominant ladies finishing a magnificent fifth, just 10 points behind third place, and the men eighth.
In stark contrast to the weather back home, the runners turned out in glorious sunshine with the senior ladies out first first to take on the 6,175m course over a short loop and three long loops at the end.
A group of eight, including AFD pair Steph Twell and Lily Partridge, went out in front with Georgie Bruinvels, Emily Wicks, Amy Griffiths and Louise Small all in a chasing group,
With 1,500m to go, Twell held third and Patridge fifth with Bruinvels, Wicks and Griffiths all in and around the top 20, although Small, as a result of injury and fatigue, was struggling.
But in the final 1,000m, a group of four Russians made a group move - much like track cycling move - passing both Twell and Partridge - to secure the team prize.
In th end, Twell led the AFD home in a magnificent seventh, two places ahead of Partridge, with a fast finishing Griffiths (20th), Bruinvels (24th), Wicks (26th) and Small (42nd) ensuring the team came in fifth behind the Russians, Italians, Spanish and Turkish.
Similarly, the pace was fast in the senior men's race, but AFD lived up to the billing, coming in an impressive eighth.
Tom Wade led the team home in 30th ahead of Ian Bailey (37th), Joe Wade (41st), Adam Clarke (46th), Chris Rooke (70th) and Steven Connor, a late replacement and recovering from injury, in 82nd.
The event was won by Ethiopian Mohamed Moustaoui, running for Ales Cevennes of France, ahead of Spain's Ayed Lamdassem and Daniel De Silva of Holland.

Embedded form width is slightly too wide for the pageAsked by webguru69 on May 19, 2014 at 03:28 AM
Hi, I put my site live today and the form seems to be slightly too wide for the page. Please have a look at www.market-expert.org I would like it to fit in the page without ''breaking'' the border. Can you perhaps give me some code to fix it. thanks
JotForm Support
Were you referring to this form?
I checked the embedded form and found out that this form was owned by a different username.
Do you perhaps have owned other JotForm account?
Can you please tell us the username that owns the embedded form I mentioned on the screenshot image above.
We just want to be sure that we are "fixing" the correct form that is under your account webguru69 which was suppose to be this form http://www.jotform.me/form/41275108054448
You can also adjust the form width until it fits the width of the html container where the form was to be embedded.
Please refer to this guide also -The-Importance-of-Form-Widths
Please inform us if further assistance is needed.
sorry, i actually forgot to change the code on that page! please look at
I am about to change the code (the other account is a friends)! thanks for
the heads up.
I have tried changing width and it doesnt make a difference! can you give
me some other pointers?
.form-all {margin-left: 15px;}Let us know if the problem persists.Thank you

Download the Game Design and Indie Game Marketing Freebook 07/19/17GameDev.net and CRC Press have teamed up to bring a free ebook of content curated from top titles published by CRC Press. The freebook, Practices of Game Design & Indie Game Marketing, includes chapters from The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing, and An Architectural Approach to Level Design. The GameDev.net FreeBook is relevant to game designers, developers, and those interested in learning more about the challenges in game development. We know game development can be a tough discipline and business, so we picked several chapters from CRC Press titles that we thought would be of interest to you, the GameDev.net audience, in your journey to design, develop, and market your next game. The free ebook is available through CRC Press by clicking here. The Curated Books The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, Second Edition, by Jesse Schell Presents 100+ sets of questions, or different lenses, for viewing a game's design, encompassing diverse fields such as psychology, architecture, music, film, software engineering, theme park design, mathematics, anthropology, and more. Written by one of the world's top game designers, this book describes the deepest and most fundamental principles of game design, demonstrating how tactics used in board, card, and athletic games also work in video games. It provides practical instruction on creating world-class games that will be played again and again. View it here. A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing, by Joel Dreskin Marketing is an essential but too frequently overlooked or minimized component of the release plan for indie games. A Practical Guide to Indie Game Marketing provides you with the tools needed to build visibility and sell your indie games. With special focus on those developers with small budgets and limited staff and resources, this book is packed with tangible recommendations and techniques that you can put to use immediately. As a seasoned professional of the indie game arena, author Joel Dreskin gives you insight into practical, real-world experiences of marketing numerous successful games and also provides stories of the failures. View it here. An Architectural Approach to Level Design This is one of the first books to integrate architectural and spatial design theory with the field of level design. The book presents architectural techniques and theories for level designers to use in their own work. It connects architecture and level design in different ways that address the practical elements of how designers construct space and the experiential elements of how and why humans interact with this space. Throughout the text, readers learn skills for spatial layout, evoking emotion through gamespaces, and creating better levels through architectural theory. View it here.

About BrokenKingpin
BrokenKingpin replied to fastcall22's topic in GDNet LoungeHave you had issues with eye stain in the past? If not, you are thinking about this shit too hard.
BrokenKingpin commented on rioki's article in General and Gameplay Programmingtechnically, OOP is not required for implementation of a C-E system. That is true, but it helps. I think the argument was more against deep inheritance trees, not OOP entirety. It is probably still a good idea to implement you C-E system with objects, but you are avoiding deep inheritance in favour of aggregation. As other people have said, do whatever works best for your game. For me, the entity systems reduces the complexity and dependencies the entities have on each other.
BrokenKingpin commented on rioki's article in General and Gameplay ProgrammingFredyC, maybe I am reading your post wrong, but your entities should not share the same instance of your components. If the property of component changes at run-time, it it would change for all the entities that have a reference to it, would probably would not be desired in most games. For the example you gave where you want to change the stats of an item, that would just be changing the stat in code or config, and anyone who creates an instance of that item would have the new stat. Unless you want to change that stat at runtime, but again this would not be the way to handle that. ---- For the me the component entity model makes things easier because you have systems that manage the relationships between entities, and the world. The components themselves are just a set of properties, and all the logic an interactions are managed in the systems. When all the logic is contained in the entities themselves, then it gets tricky as they need references to the map and the rest of the world to handle all the interactions.
BrokenKingpin replied to Nathan2222_old's topic in GDNet Lounge++
BrokenKingpin replied to Kylotan's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingWhat about Java... you can use the SWING GUI components in your UI.
BrokenKingpin replied to Zarta's topic in GDNet LoungeThat does not sound like fun. The fun in programming is the problem solving, etc... not getting points for typing something properly. I must be missing something.
BrokenKingpin commented on Chilling's article in Game Design and TheoryGood article. I do find it irritating that every gamer seems to think that they can make their own game, with no programming or technical skills. At least if you have a background in programming you can prototype a game and stub in crappy art and music. Just coming with an idea for a game is useless, because everyone has those, but at least programmers can do something about it. This seems to be one of the few industries with this type of problem. Just because I can drive a car does not mean I can just go design and create one with absolutely no training or education in those fields.
BrokenKingpin replied to Kaven Marenger's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingDecide what project or game you want to develop, and what platforms you intend to target, and then pick the language that best suites you needs. You could go either way and will most likely be okay as both languages will get the job done. For the most part the skills you learn will be transferable... the language itself is just a tool to get the job done.
BrokenKingpin replied to TexasJack's topic in Game Design and TheoryI have played a few text based roguelike games in my day (nethack, etc.), and they are quite fun. I have also played a few that have some pretty cool uses of ascii graphics. I did start to create my own roguelike with simple ascii graphics. I have to say it was nice not to have to worry about creating graphics. The idea of a text based MMO sounds pretty cool. I would look into some of the existing roguelike games out there... you will be surprised at what you can represent with ascii graphics (different terrain, water, obsticles, enemies, etc.).
BrokenKingpin replied to YenRaven's topic in Games Business and LawIf you are such a hard core developer, then do the initial programming yourself, and you only need to find some artists. You could also work on a smaller budget title and sell that to get some recognition before spending all your money on one huge game that could end up failing. For example if you start with a 2D game you would just have to get one 2d artist, and you could do the programming.
BrokenKingpin replied to arnsa's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingOpenGL is a perfectly good way to go, and is cross platform. A lot of game engines use OpenGL, so there is no technical limit they they could not release for Linux/Unix systems, they just don't spend the time to support the platform. You could also use an existing cross platform game engine. To be honest, it is more about learning good game design practices than a specific API. You can always learn a new API and apply those same principals you learned.
BrokenKingpin replied to nicksaiz65's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingPick a language that makes the most sense for the game you are designing and learn that. Using two languages for central components is just dumb. I can see using different language for some scripting or web based components, but otherwise it will be way easier if you both use the same language. To me it sounds like you should spend more time learning the basics of programming before working on something as complex as a game. If you really do understand the fundamentals of programming picking up Java should be fairly easy, at least for the basic stuff to get you going on your project. I would personally recommend moving to something like C# or java anyways, as they are far more popular than Blitz Plus.
BrokenKingpin replied to Qaia's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingEither use smart pointers, or use a language like C# or Java that has built in garbage collection. Bolting a GC into C++ just seems dumb... defeats the purpose of c++.
BrokenKingpin replied to Rasterman's topic in Games Business and LawLinux users are completely willing to buy good commercial games. Take a look at the Humble Indie Bundles... Linux users consistently pay more for the bundle. The numbers are not as high as Windows, but enough to justify releasing it for the platform. And as others have said, Valve is now going to support Linux... so that is a good sign that there are Linux users willing to pay for games.
BrokenKingpin replied to tom_mai78101's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingEither way is fine, it just depends on how you go about the re-factoring Sometimes it is nice to create a new file so you can keep the old one open for reference. If you decide to just rewrite the file without creating a new one just make sure you have a backup (if you are using a version control system you are good to go).

This is an error I get
IP Address from the reverse-lookup of the hostname does not match the original IP
I am getting an outside IP address (from CNET?) with a user name/domain name from my network?

Where are you getting this error? Is it on a server? Is it when you run a test? Is it from email?
The reverse lookup for your IP can be set interneally on your DNS server if you have one. If it is a public address you will need to speak to your ISP to set the IP to match the domain name yourserver.yourdomain.com.
This is also something that can be created with your domain regstrar dependiong on who they are. (I use godaddy.com and had to change it there and with my ISP)

I see it when I go to DNS Check Up in the Inventory section of Spiceworks.
We recently added a Cisco ASA5510 and renumbered our IP scheme.
I did a new scan, and it came up again but with a different user.
It looks like this...

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Scan your DNS entries carefully. Chances are that this machine is listed in there somewhere - possibly an alias.

Bob James. The name of a man who has continued to grow and evolve through the years.
It's a name that carries a wide berth. Not just because of his Grammy's, but because, while you may expect to hear it mentioned by those in jazz circles, you are just as likely to hear it brought up by hip hop heads.
That's because Bob James has never allowed preconceived notions to limit his vision and creativity. This has allowed him to fuse together, and cross over, styles and genres not typically associated with one another, helping to shape jazz, and influence rock, pop, television, and hip hop.
This journey now leads to next step in the musical evolution of Bob James, the North American debut of his piano concerto.
