Hunters are tracking a man-eating tigress that has killed at least nine people during a 240km rampage from a national park in northern India to villages in the Himalayan foothills.
According to forestry officials, the tigress may have killed and eaten a 10th victim on Sunday, a 50-year-old farmer who was mauled as he collected firewood in Kalgarh village, along the border of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand hill state.
The big cat was chased away by villagers who discovered her eating her victim. Forestry officials and tiger experts now fear that it will not stop killing humans until it is "removed" - either captured or killed.
The tigress strayed from Corbett National Park and began its six-week killing spree on December 29 when it pounced on a 21-year-old man who had wandered into sugar cane fields in Moradabad district for his morning ablutions. A week later, on January 5, it claimed its second victim. Two days after that, a teenage girl was mauled to death. Until then, the tigress had not eaten its victims. But over the following days it killed another two villagers, in both cases consuming body parts and apparently developing a taste for human flesh. It then disappeared back into the national park, but emerged 16 days later to kill again.
Officials said the tiger had crossed several major national highways, a river and moved through villages on the prowl.
Belinda Wright, one of India's leading tiger conservationists, said officials had told her the first nine victims had been confirmed as those of a single, breeding tigress which may be wounded or injured: the pawprints were identical but uneven, which suggested it may have a limp.
Officials said it was possible the 10th victim may have been killed by a different tiger.
Ms Wright said the man-eater's nine or 10 victims made it one of the most prolific in recent years, although some of those pursued by Jim Corbett, the legendary tiger hunter turned conservationist after whom the national park is named, were said to have killed and eaten more than 400 people.
She blamed the worsening "human-animal conflict" in India for the latest killings and said the spread of mobile phones has been a factor. After one of the killings a crowd of thousands of local people arrived to track down the tigress and disturbed its retreat back into the forest. "Initially we had a man-killer, maybe that can be put down to these crowds," she said. "And then she started eating people and unfortunately when that happens there is no alternative but to remove it. It can no longer be a wild tiger."
Ms Wright and local officials hope the tigress, believed to be four years old, can be captured rather than killed.
"There are so few breeding tigresses that every one is precious," she said. "They can survive with the loss of a few young or male tigers, but not feeding females. It's a tragedy."
Kamlesh Kumar, the conservator of forest in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, said: "It has strayed from Jim Corbett Park and travelled to rural Moradabad.
She blamed the worsening 'human-animal conflict' in India for the latest killings and said the spread of mobile phones has been a factor
"We are trying to understand why it went unnoticed all the way, as the sighting happened only after it killed while returning to Jim Corbett. We have been following it since then.
"Our understanding is that the animal has panicked and attacked humans."

Interesting concept, i played as a battlemage in oblivion, and that i really loved.
Interesting concept, i played as a battlemage in oblivion, and that i really loved.
LAst Update B4 posting in the Official Forums XD. Any suggestions, this is the time!!! Or at least vote =P
I see Battle Mage as a distant future 4th spec for a mage to allow it to tank.
It isn't a terrible idea, but I just don't see the point of adding something like this, and the game doesn't need another cloth wearer. I don't find your gameplay ideas to be particularly compelling or interesting. Also, the game most definitely does not need any more "hero classes."
The hero class concept was ultimately a failed experiment to me, because in an mmo environment, no one class can truly be on a higher level than others just for the purposes of balance. So, really the only heroic part of DK for instance is that they start at level 55 with a cool class-exclusive questline. That makes the class feel somewhat special, but utterly ruins the balance of people playing whatever class just because people are lazy and the lure of starting a character at level 55 appeals to them. Hence, you always see shitloads of DKs running around constantly, and they'll always be one of the more populated classes for that reason alone.
"All statements within these quotation marks are untrue."
Yea good idea
I voted "complete waste"
WoW has too many Classes already, and it's already an imbalanced mess. Adding more would only make this issue worse
Rest In Peace, World of Warcraft. Subscriber count doesn't matter, WoW has been dead in spirit for a while
Rest In Peace, Star Wars the Old Republic. SWTOR is a fun RPG, but a bad MMO
you got this idea from Dragon Age:Origins didn't you =P

Kim (sexy barista)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"God, she must smell like mango-flavored peaches"
"She's so hot she's making me sexist. Bitch!"
"I would fuck her hot ass and cum on her gorgeous face"
Kimberly Arnolda Young (or simply Kim)[1] is a sexy barista, working for the Starbucks Corporation. Born in a town no one ever remembers, Kim made her way to Starbucks after a string of similar positions, including employment with The Gap, American Eagle and Borders Books. Since then, Kim settled in a one bedroom apartment, procured a cat for companionship, and thoroughly disregards her raw sexiness.[2] Coincidentally, Kim is the most highly-tipped server at her Starbucks location.
The sultry allure of that stupid Napoleon Dynamite t-shirt pressed between her work smock and the rest of her drives shy, artistic losers crazy on a daily basis. These losers often contemplate suicide. Often. Very, regularly, often.
The male loser population that comes in contact with Kim can be broken down into two categories: those who admit defeat before trying, and those who admit defeat after failing. The outcome for each is nearly identical. Be it the polite let-down or the fateful glimpse of the complete asshole Kim is currently dating: the once-fanciful and love-struck male mind will turn to thoughts of instant seppuku. Kim's oblivion makes the knife that much sharper.
edit An Introduction to Kim
Kim grew up somewhere. This is a fact, as Kim is no longer an adolescent. However, the only people who know the location of this growth period are women. There has never been a single man worthy of his maypole that has listened to Kim's back-story. While Kim talks about the siblings she may or may not have, the farm she might've visited in the summertime, or the possible family trips to Mount Rushmore, there is but one solitary thought upon the male receiver's mind:
|God, she must smell like mango-flavored peaches
No one knows that the hell a mango-flavored peach is. Perhaps it's some sort of mango fruit, miraculously imbued with a full-bodied peach flavoring. In reality, it doesn't matter. The words are a mere formality; a group of mental fragments hastily strung together, attempting in vane to express the pure hotness of this angelic coffee girl.
This is the progression of a fearless gent. A man who, though he knows there is no possible way this woman will be receptive to his advances, chooses to advance regardless. He is a righteous brother, and this author commends his soul, and his super bad-ness. While the already defeated comic book nerd will affix his eyes to the cash register and order his cappuccino under muttered breath, the bold and brazen metal geek soldiers on through the minefield.
edit "So, what can I get for ya?"
This question catches the bold loser off guard. "Quick!" he shouts within his mind. "Stop thinking about what it would be like to hold her close on a cold winter's morning! It's time to order the coffee that you have no interest in drinking!"[3] While the quiet, inherently sad loser already has his drink order ready, the delusional bold suitor clumsily fumbles down the overhead menu, eventually making his halfhearted decision. His interaction with Kim is nearing it's end; time to lay it all on the line.
As he digs through his pockets for $3.29, the bold man readies his plan of attack. It will be direct. It will be normal. It will not make this vision of beauty think that he wants to secretly smell her undergarments while she's sleeping. Later that night, in an apartment, two naked bodies were entertwined. He smiles, sexily. Kim giggles, blushing. Empty condom wrappers lay all over the floor. A torn Starbucks shirt covered the man's butt... As he took a deep breath to start making love again, Kim smiled and said...
edit The Proposal
After the romantic element is introduced, Kim prepares for the eminent shutdown. There is no contemplation or consideration, nor is there ever even a glimmer of question in Kim's mind as to whether or not she'll accept this man's affection. Mathematically, Kim's equation reads: . Because of this, some experts argue that the shyer, muted individuals who fall for Kim are actually better off in the long run. They narrowly avoid the heartache of the brazen man's endeavors.
Though there are many variations, the shut-down generally manifests itself in one of two ways.
edit Shutdown Plan A
Like a lilting flower, delicate and unassuming, Kim kindly tells this bold gentleman to get lost. This is achieved via indicator messages, such as "you're a really nice guy," "we can definitely be friends," or "the boner you're sporting leaves much to be desired."[4]
As Kim belongs to a kindly strain of aesthetic superiority, this is the more gentle brush-off. And in comparison to its alternative, Shutdown Plan A is often the more desired pitfall.
edit Shutdown Plan B
Plan B involves very few words. In fact, when it is Kim's will, Plan B can involve no words whatsoever. All Plan B requires is a simple point of Kim's index finger, in the direction of a man named Spyder.
That's correct. Spyder. On job applications, this monumental human being writes the name "Spyder." Covered from head-to-toe in tattoos and piercings, Spyder sits by himself at a corner table with a perfect view of the counter, patiently waiting for situations that call for the Plan B Shutdown. The true image of everything the average loser feels is wrong with his existence, coming to fruition in the middle of Starbucks. In this instant, Kim makes it known that Spyder is in fact, her boyfriend.
Plan B is painful. Plan B is the plan that makes that average loser spill boiling hot water directly into his lap just to calm down. Plan B is the bane of the dweeb existence; the thorn in the craw of compassionate men everywhere.
edit Continuation
Both plans cause great distress to Johnny Averageseed. As such, Kim has been classified as "Potentially Dangerous" by the Ad Council for Human Health Relations.[5]
But, like the losers they are, many of these men choose to continue their patronage of Kim's Starbuck's location, just view her perfect features once more. And though they know they'll eventually end up with a fat girl, these men endure. Waking up once more, if only for the comforting embrace of Kim, somewhere in the depths of their minds.
edit Annotations
- ↑ But NEVER Kimmy. She hates that.
- ↑ Which of course, only makes her hotter.
- ↑ Studies have confirmed that 58% of men who enter Kim's Starbucks have a slight or strong disdain for coffee and other coffee-related productions.
- ↑ The latter is a rare case, generally reserved for those men who actually have erections at the time.
- ↑ Co-chaired by Michelle Obama.

Staff members in the Student Affairs Office are available to consult with faculty, staff, students and family members who may be concerned about a student for any reason.
Student difficulties may present in a variety of ways while students are on campus, including poor class attendance, sporadic attendance at work-study jobs, difficulties with roommates, disturbing writings in homework assignments, and changes in behavior and personal habits.
While concerned about identified students experience difficulties, the Student Affairs Office also works to ensure that all members of the campus community are able to learn, study, teach and live in an environment that supports academic and personal success.
Making a Referral to the Student Affairs Office
Appropriate referrals to the Student Affairs Office include:
- Students who experience personal or academic difficulties that interfere with classroom success
- Students who do not attend class(es) regularly or submit homework assignments in a timely fashion
- Students who exhibit a poor attitude or behavior that warrants concern and/or whose behavior affects classroom decorum or the rights of other students
- Students who have a personal or family concern that may be interfering with their classes
- Students who may benefit from campus or community referrals or resources
Students of Concern Advisory Group
To more effectively respond to concerns raised about individual students and/or to balance concerns for individual students with those of other members of the campus community, the Student Affairs Office meets regularly with the Students of Concern Advisory Group. This group comprises representatives from other campus offices with frequent and direct access to students, as well as members of the faculty. With input from group members, efforts will be made to ensure that students can continue to successfully pursue their academic goals while not infringing on the rights of others to do the same. Interventions may occur in a variety of ways, including:
- The identification of campus and community resources
- Referrals for medical care and mental health support
- Tutoring assistance or accommodations for students with documented disabilities
- Consultation with family members and/or legal guardians with students' prior written consent
Counseling Center
Staff in the Suffolk University Counseling Center are available for consultation about students of concern. Contact the Counseling Center at 617.573.8226 or visit 73 Tremont Street, fifth floor, to discuss any concerns you may have. Due to FERPA and HIPAA regulations, as well as Massachusetts state laws, the Center will only share confidential information about students with their prior written consent or if it is determined that they are at risk to harm themselves or others.

Kurtz: Hannity acknowledged he "probably should have" disclosed ties to Dem-bashing guest
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
According to Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz, FOX News host Sean Hannity acknowledged that he "probably should have" told his viewers that he sits on the advisory board of frequent Hannity & Colmes guest Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson's Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND). Media Matters for America noted Hannity's ties to Peterson following his November 29, 2004, appearance on Hannity & Colmes, in which Peterson attacked Reverend Jesse Jackson; condemned liberals as "racist towards black Americans"; falsely claimed that no blacks were disenfranchised in the 2000 election; and erroneously suggested that Senator John Kerry supported reparations for slavery in the 2004 presidential campaign.
Kurtz noted in his January 24 "Media Notes" column that Hannity did not disclose his connection to Peterson's organization during the reverend's most recent appearance on Hannity & Colmes January 17. Kurtz wrote: "Nor did he mention it on Peterson's 12 previous appearances on the program since 2002."
From The Washington Post's "Media Notes" column:
Co-host Sean Hannity defended Peterson against criticism from the other guest, Ron Daniels of the Center for Constitutional Rights. "Jesse has devoted -- let me finish -- his adult life to building homes and giving opportunity and finding work and developing skills for young African-American men. Isn't that true, Jesse?" He even suggested that Daniels "donate" money to Peterson's group. ... Hannity says he has mentioned the link on his radio show and "I probably should have done it that night. If I had it to do over again, I would." He says he took the non-paying position with BOND after the group gave him an award several years ago and "it's not something I've ever hidden." Hannity says his suggestion that Daniels make a donation was just tongue-in-cheek.
Following Peterson's November 29, 2004, appearance on Hannity & Colmes, Media Matters for America noted that Hannity is a strong supporter of Peterson and a member of BOND's advisory board. On the BOND website, Hannity is quoted as saying Peterson is "a great American. He is a man of conscience with a bold prescription to make America a better place." According to the BOND website, Hannity also claimed that the organization "continues to fight the good fight standing for the values of God, family, and country, and are deserving of our support."

this is driving me crazy...
can't clear cache on Safari on iPhone...
searched, found this..
but, unlike this screenshot, I don't see "clear cache" or "Developer"
I only have "Clear History" and "Clear Cookies and Data" (am on iPhone 3)
I asked in Apple forum about a week ago... never received an answer (which should tell me something, right??
this is driving me crazy.. no firebug ( yikes...) no view-src... can't load .js and .css files in browser like you can in regular machines.. am going a bit crazy here with this...
thank you...
Before iOS 5, Safari has three settings for this: 1. Clear History, 2. Clear Cookies, 3. Clear Cache
On iOS 5, they combined 2 and 3 and made it "Clear Cookies and Data." So, if you clear cookies and data you are technically deleting both the cookies and cache.
Bonus tip: the data for each site saved can now be viewed on iOS 5 on the 'Advanced' section of the Safari settings on the bottom of the page.
thank you... it removes all browsing history too...
why on earth did they combine them?? that's a very bad idea.... you clear the cache it clears your entire browsing history, and all the windows you had open with urls are gone... sometimes the people designing these things really don't think, it's unbelievable....
there's no reason on earth so why this shouldn't work like in browsers in computers, as they had it, apparently... I still can't believe they did this, it's a really dumb idea...
ok, thank you...
If I'm not mistaken, clearing the cookies only remove the login info you saved on certain sites (not necessarily the browsing history).
As noted, clearing the data is not the same button as clearing the history, so just make sure you hit the right one.
well, there are two -- and only two -- buttons:
Clear HistoryClear Cookies and Data
which one is for the CACHE??
(I hit Cookies and Data, it also cleared my history.... i.e., it removed all pages I had loaded in all the windows... )
there should be a button just for CACHE.......
also: how do you get to the bookmarks???
thank you....
This is the reason that I moved over to Google Chrome recently. On the iPhone I find it smooth and feature rich - so much better than safari for the iPhone.
google Chrome? on the iPhone?
this is on iPhone... only browser available is Safari....
(see my OP)
Not so. I mostly use Chrome or Opera on my iPhone.
really? you can download them from the iPhone?? man, I had no idea... I thought Safari was the only browser you could use in iPhone.. oh, this is grand for developers....
You quickly find these things by Googling something like "Chrome for iPhone":
I have 11 extra browsers on my iPhone (yet there are even more than this)! Google Chrome is pretty good.
Just remember though, Apple require all browsers to be webkit-based.
Opera Mini of course works in a different way.
What's your favorite among them all?
For personal browsing I still use Safari.
For development, then Safari and Chrome tend to play ball the best. Chrome is very well made.
Personally I don't care for all the extra features that browsers give, I just want a basic browser that is quick.
iCab Mobile is worth a mention. That will allow file uploads on iOS, which hardly any other iOS browsers can do (maybe just one other). Of course file upload is available in Safari in iOS 6 though.
I quite like Opera Mini for browsing on the iPhone. Apart from anything else, you can turn off images etc. which saves bandwidth.
hello, to reset the setting or data is not a simple work on the iOS platform, maybe you can have a look this guide. http://www.transfer-iphone-recovery.com/delete-data-from-iphone.html

Epilepsy sometimes called a seizure disorder, is a chronic unpredictable neurological condition characterized by intermittent electrical and chemical disturbances in the brain that cause seizures which affect awareness, movement, or sensation. Epilepsy can strike at any stage of life. Any One at Any Time at Any Age can have a seizure. Epilepsy is not contagious. Epilepsy is not mental illness. Epilepsy is not mental retardation. Lack of knowledge about proper seizure first aid exposes affected individuals to injury from unnecessary restraint and from objects needlessly forced into their mouths. Of major chronic medical conditions, epilepsy is among the least understood, even though one in three adults knows someone with the disorder. Epilepsy is not a single entity, but a family of more than 40 syndromes that affects more than 3 million people in the U.S.and 50 million worldwide.
Epilepsy does not discriminate. It can affect children, adults, seniors, men and woman, people of all races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, and social classes at any time. Epilepsy is the third most common neurological disorder in the United States after Alzheimer's disease and stroke.It is equal in prevalence to cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease combined. More than 3 million people in the U.S. More than 400,000 Texans have Epilepsy. 1 in 10 people will experience a seizure at some point in their lives. This year 200,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with epilepsy 30 to 40% of people with epilepsy are severely affected and continue to have seizures despite treatment.
Epilepsy is prevalent among those with other disabilities, such as autism (25.5 percent), cerebral palsy (13 percent), Down's syndrome (13.6 percent), and mental retardation (25.5 percent)—while 40 percent of people who have both cerebral palsy and mental retardation also have epilepsy. The association between epilepsy and depression is especially strong. More than one of every three persons with epilepsy are also affected by the mood disorder, and people with a history of depression are 3 to 7 times more likely to develop epilepsy than the average person.
In 70% of cases the cause of epilepsy is unknown. Surveys of people with epilepsy show that their greatest concerns are societal expectations (stigma, discrimination, negative attitudes) coupled with issues of transportation, unemployment, health, and safety concerns. Many people still believe that you should place something in the mouth of someone having a seizure. Epilepsy strikes most often among the very young and the very old, although anyone can get it at any age. In the U.S. more than 326,000 children under 15 yrs are affected. The number of cases in the elderly is beginning to soar as the baby boom generation approaches retirement age. Currently more than 570,000 adults age 65 and above in the U.S. have the condition.
Epilepsy imposes an annual economic burden of $15.5 billion on the nation in associated health care costs and losses in employment, wages and productivity. Epilepsy and its treatment produce a health-related quality of life—measured in days of activity limitation, pain, depression, anxiety, reduced vitality and insufficient sleep or rest—similar to arthritis, heart problems, diabetes and cancer.
The mortality rate among people with epilepsy is two to three times higher—and the risk of sudden death is 24 times greater—than that of the general population. This year an estimated 25,000 to 50,000 will die of seizures and related causes, including status epilepticus (non-stop seizures), sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), drowning and other accidents.
The leading non-medical problem confronting people with epilepsy is discrimination in education, employment and social acceptance. Some people with epilepsy do not even know they have it because they've been told they have a seizure disorder instead. This unfortunate euphemism arose because of the stigma associated with epilepsy, a stigma that the Epilepsy Foundation and others have fought to dispel.
On average, it is 14 years between the onset of epilepsy and surgical intervention for seizures uncontrollable by medication. American physicians may be unaware of the safety and efficacy of epilepsy surgery, making it among the most underutilized of proven, effective therapeutic interventions in the field of medicine. Lack of knowledge about proper seizure first aid exposes affected individuals to injury from unnecessary restraint and from objects needlessly forced into their mouths.

FOLLOWING the Jimmy Saville scandal the organisation running Worcestershire's three major hospitals has reviewed its procedures protecting patients from abuse.
Although Saville is thought never to have visited any hospitals in the county, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust – which runs Redditch's Alexandra Hospital, Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Kidderminster Hospital – has reviewed and updated a number of its safeguarding policies.
In October 2012, a year after his death, accusations were levelled that the television presenter had sexually abused children as far back as the 1970s.
Hundreds of accusations of rape and sexual abuse have now been made against the Top of the Pops presenter, several of which are believed to have taken place in hospitals and care homes.
Trust chairman Harry Turner said the organisation's procedures around letting visitors into the hospitals were extremely strict.
"Our staff are very good at checking IDs," he said. "If someone challenges me and then apologises when they realise who I am I always say 'don't apologise'.
"We are listening to all the national messages. But it is difficult because if you had CRB checked Jimmy Saville he would have passed."

The holidays are likely on your mind right now, but did you know that a major holiday was just celebrated this past weekend? Just after Halloween and before Thanksgiving falls International Red Panda Day, which the Oakland Zoo celebrated in style with the help of our good friends from the Red Panda Network.
What's a red panda, you ask? These small, raccoon-like mammals live in the forests surrounding the Himalayas, in China, India and Nepal, and are also known as the "firefox". They subsist almost entirely on bamboo, eating up to 200,000 bamboo leaves in one day! Besides being charismatic and biologically unique, the red panda can also lay claim to being the original panda. The word "panda" is derived from the Nepalese word "poonya", which means "eater of bamboo" and refers to the red panda. When scientists discovered the larger, black and white, bamboo-eating animal in the mountains of China, they assumed the two animals to be related, and dubbed the now more famous one the Giant Panda. Now, however, we know that red pandas and giant pandas aren't closely related at all. In fact, though red pandas share similarities with raccoons, weasels and bears, they have been classified in their own family, Ailuridae, biologically distinct and unique from other species.
The actual number of red pandas in the wild is unknown. Like many animals, they face threats from habitat loss and climate change which damages the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. Though their range is geographically large, in practice the pandas are restricted to small patches of forests which support the bamboo plants they so rely on. And yet, while their larger namesake has become a symbol for conservation worldwide, few people have even heard of a red panda, let alone know about the challenges they face. The Red Panda Network, which is dedicated to preserving the species through education, research and conservation in Nepal, decided to raise awareness by holding the 1st annual International Red Panda Day on November 13, with the help of zoos, schools and clubs across the country. When they asked if we'd be willing to join in to teach people about this amazing animal, we readily agreed!
And so, this past Saturday, November 13, we celebrated this special species. The Teen Wild Guides operated tables with red panda facts and activities. Visitors spent the day coloring red panda masks, making red panda origami, and having their faces painted. All activities were free, with donations accepted. When all was said and done, we raised $215 to be donated to the Red Panda Network, which they'll use to further their excellent conservation work with local people in Nepal.
An event like Red Panda Day is a great chance to reflect on the little things we can all do to benefit conservation. Here at the zoo, our conservation programs run the gamut from fundraising to composting, but nothing is more important than education. Just by learning about a new animal or habitat, we have taken the first step to making a difference for them. As the great Senegalese conservationist Baba Dioum said; "In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we are taught." And so, to everyone who came out to the zoo on Red Panda day, colored a mask, and maybe dropped a dollar or two in our donation box, our sincere thanks for doing your part, and for helping us support a hardworking organization. Now we all know which panda truly reigns supreme!

Able Seaman Chris Johns-Lines, 26, from Trowbridge has graduated as a Warfare Specialist from HMS Collingwood, in Hampshire.
He completed his Phase 2 training with Victory Squadron having joined the Navy in July last year.
The course was on setting up and operating the Navy's systems to provide information to ships on air and surface activity.
Chris wanted a career allowing him to travel and meet new people and he is now looking forward to the next part of his training – an underwater course.
Originally from Frome, he now lives in Trowbridge with his parents Stewart and Cheryl.
A keen basketball and shooting enthusiast, Chris is following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was a gunner in the Royal Navy.
Chris joined the Maritime Warfare School at HMS Collingwood after basic training at HMS Raleigh.
The recent course on setting up and operating the Navy's systems – providing information to ships on air and surface activities.
He will continue at HMS Collingwood to undertake the next part of his training as he embarks on the Underwater Training Course.
Able Seaman Johns-Lines, right below, was presented with his certificate of course completion by Captain Steve Dainton, Captain of the Maritime Warfare School.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
March 28, 1919 — Cambo-les-Bains, France
One of five children, Claude grew up in a Catholic family in Paris. His father, a physician, owned a prosperous general medicine practice and medical laboratory. Claude's father encouraged him to study medicine and to join his practice, but Claude was more interested in becoming a lawyer.
1933-39: I continued my studies, and in 1936 I entered the university to study law. By mid-1939, Germany's threat against France had escalated, and on September 3, 1939, France declared war on Germany. I knew that my country stood little chance of winning against the Nazis. In October I was drafted into the French army. After basic training, I was promoted to corporal and assigned to a tank division stationed southeast of Paris.
1940-44: I was captured by the German army six weeks after they invaded France. Like other POWs, I was put to forced work for the Reich. As punishment for threatening to kill a guard, I was made to work in a hospital where Nazi doctors performed "medical experiments." I was present when they castrated men, and when they crushed prisoners' fingers in a press to "study" broken bones. Many died during the procedures. One woman's eyelids were sewn open to force her to watch in a mirror as both her breasts were removed.
After four years as a prisoner, Claude was repatriated to France as part of a prisoner exchange in February 1944. He fought in the French underground until the end of the war.

Anglo American's Cynthia Carroll would quite justifiably like to be assessed for her performance as a chief executive, not as a female chief executive. The same goes for two other prominent chief executives of UK companies who have announced their departure this month: Marjorie Scardino at Pearson (which owns the FT) and Kate Swann at WH Smith.
But the continued scarcity of female CEOs worldwide, the fact that two of this trio will be replaced by men (Ms Carroll's successor has yet to be named), and the coincidence with a heated debate about gender quotas in European Union boardrooms make this a legitimate theme.
Specifically, it draws attention to the only element of the gender quota debate that pro-quota and anti-quota camps agree on (apart from the ultimate objective of achieving greater balance): that it is more important to fill the pipeline of female executives than it is to stock the board with female non-executives.

ANZ Bank's chairman, John Morschel, says a ''frustratingly anemic'' recovery overseas will continue to take a toll on Australia next year, with industries in the economy's slow lanes likely to remain weak.
Despite recent positive signs in China and the United States, Mr Morschel said the environment facing the bank in 2013 would remain ''challenging'' as the mining boom reached its peak.
''There is no question we are continuing to see a frustratingly anemic recovery in the global economy,'' he said.
With mining investment expected to start declining some time next year, Mr Morschel said the strong dollar, high labour costs, softer commodity prices, and ''policy uncertainty'' would all work against new resources projects.
''At the same time, there is little evidence of the weaker sectors of the economy such as retail , housing and manufacturing recovering sufficiently to pick up the slack,'' he said. ''Together with weak business and consumer confidence, this leaves overall business conditions in the economy softer.''
On Monday, ANZ economists predicted the Reserve Bank would be forced to slash the cash rate from 3 per cent to 2 per cent next year in response to such weakness, and Mr Morschel said growth would be more ''subdued''.
The weaker economic environment is crimping bank profits because households and businesses are borrowing less, while bank funding has become more expensive.
Mr Morschel said the bank had kept its return on equity to between 15 and 16 per cent by expanding into Asian growth markets and enhancing productivity in the bank – areas it would continue to focus on.
ANZ's chief executive Mike Smith – who reportedly took home $20 million last year – argued the bank was well positioned to benefit from the rapid growth in Asia's rapidly expanding middle classes over the coming decade.
More than one fifth of the bank's revenue came from overseas, including its Asian network.
However, he added that Australian industries such as tourism and retail would face a ''difficult adjustment'' over the coming years.
''There are enormous opportunities given Australia's growing linkages to Asia but, at the same time we have an economy in transition as a result of a strong dollar, and weak business and consumer confidence,'' Mr Smith said.

The recent revelations regarding the apparent scope of U.S. government efforts to gather large amounts of end user information from U.S. Internet and telecom service providers for intelligence purposes have raised global concerns about Internet privacy, security and governance. The Internet Society and others have expressed the specific concern that the unwarranted collection, storage and potential correlation of user data will undermine many of the key principles and relationships of trust upon which the global Internet has been built and that similar efforts by other governments will have a chilling effect on the deployment and adoption of technical solutions for establishing trusted connections online. This half-day event will explore these concerns in depth, featuring experts on Internet privacy, security and governance.

Recently, I had an interesting discussion with a customer representative regarding the nature of LiveCycle Process Management ES2 and the use of shared queues. Specifically, the issue came down to a misunderstanding of how the Assign Task Operation's Task Access Control List (ACL) parameters effected who could see items in a user's shared queue.
With the help of Chantal Richard and Jasmin Charbonneau, I learned a lot more about what these parameters do. I though it would be a good idea to share the information in case others are as confused as I was.
Say we have a task that is assigned to a user. The particular user is decided at runtime based on some process data. The Task Access Control List (ACL) provides restrictions on what that user can do with the task. It does not say who the task can be shared/consult/forward (etc.) with. The "Add ACL for shared queue" only states whether the task can be viewed in a shared queue, not who gets access to that shared queue. You can use the "Reassignment Restrictions" to specify which group(s) a user can share with/forward to /consult with.
For example, consider the following setup for a task assignment (see image):
A task is assigned to a user based on the XPath expression – let's say, based on form and process information, it gets assigned to Sarah Rose. The system then checks to see if Sarah is in the Task Access Control List (ACL). In this case she is, and her options say she can share the task. The Task Access Control List (ACL) does not say with whom she can share. The other users in this list (John Jacobs and Kara Bowman) are in the list in case they get assigned the task and the system needs to decide what they can do. The Reassignment Restrictions section tells us that this task can only be shared with the "All principals in Default Domain" group.
Since the "Add ACL for shared queue" is checked, the task will show up in Sarah's shared queue (if it was not on then it would not show up in her shared queue). This means that if Sarah shares her queue with another user they will see that task in her queue. An important note – the "Add ACL for shared queue" option is not affected by the "Reassignment Restrictions". In this example; if Sarah shares here queue with Bob Jones who is not in the "All principals in Default Domain" group, then when Bob looks in Sarah's queue he will see the task.
If we now look at the entry for John Jacobs in the Task Access Control List (ACL) list, we will see that he is not allowed to Share or Consult the task.
This means that if the task was assigned to John, he would not be allowed to share the task or use Workspace to consult with others. He has different permissions than Sarah.

Le Correo, the leading daily newspaper of North Spain with a circulation of approximately 119.000, published an item noting that the work called Atlas of Creation by Harun Yahya alarmed the Ministry of National Education of France, on February 13th, 2008. In the news, an example of the panic experienced as a result of Darwinist truths coming to light was cited.
The presence of Creationists is not only felt in America. The Ministry of National Education of France alerted the school administration against the book called the Atlas of Creation which refuses Darwinism in the light of the Qur'an. The polished red book written by the Turkish author, Harun Yahya, was sent to schools, universities and, according to the Le Monde newspaper dated February 9th, to the French press.
Following the Atlas of Creation, the news in the world press, especially in Europe, are full of statements that clearly put forth the Darwinist despair. The news that reveal the shocking effect of the Atlas of Creation over the whole world put forth the fact that Darwinism has received a serious blow of destruction irremeably.

Hi DudeMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
If 125207 is "Hi", and 031993121212 is "Dude", then 125207031993121212 is "Hi Dude".
Then what is 799717777010909230151693122001983?
AnswerIt's "You Are Great".
Separate the numbers into groups of three, and then add up the three numbers. The total amount will point to a certain letter, and if you continue doing it until all numbers are used, it'll form the sentence "You Are Great".

Samsung Reveals Omnia W and Korea-only Galaxy S II HD LTEby Jason Inofuentes on 9/26/2011 3:47 PM EST

JarredWalton - Monday, September 26, 2011 - linkFixed, thanks. Reply
Filiprino - Monday, September 26, 2011 - linkMore clock speed, more definition and LTE. This is clearly a leap forward. Screens were getting to big for WVGA, a resolution that's been used for about 3 years, from 3.5" to 4.3".
And I think it packs a bigger battery. Win-win. Reply
yelped - Monday, September 26, 2011 - linkThe question is: "Is it PenTile?" Note, the missing plus. Reply
tom1l21 - Monday, September 26, 2011 - linkI'm more curious to see how PenTile looks at that resolution... that is sort of a faux 316 ppi. Reply
steven75 - Monday, September 26, 2011 - linkPentile FTL.
Nice to finally see a modern resolution on that enormous display, but they had to go back to pentile. I guess we'll have to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE Plus Ultra Turbo GT Special Edition. Reply

Rivensteel - Tuesday, September 27, 2011 - linkIt's interesting that they would announce the SGS2HDLTE with these specifications, since they are very similar to the speculated and rumored parts for the mythical Nexus Prime. Way back when I first heard about it, the Prime was leaps and bounds ahead of anything else, but it will be just another in the pack if it's not released soon. Even Samsung, the manufacturer, looks to be competing with it. Reply
agentsmithitaly - Tuesday, September 27, 2011 - linkthe two phones are clearly not in scale. There is almost a full inch difference in screen real estate. BTW I like the Mango phone more than the SGSII. WP7 is zippy even with a single core, while helping battery life, and now that they added some missing things like video calling and the entering of WP7 Nokia phones it will look interesting.
I'm saying this as I had the chance to use extensively a LG Optimus 7 and the European SGS II. The latter has a gorgeous screen, fantastic camera, incredible 1080p videos, really powerful LED flash which is useful as a torch, but it has REALLY POOR battery life, I mean it can barely last 10-12 hours with just a couple of calls, wi-fi turned off, notifications off, mininum brightness and still background.
No wonder Samsung started offering an original 2000mAh battery with a slightly thicker cover, which is flush with the thicker bottom part. How can you have good battery life when you have a faster dual core SoC than the iPad 2 while having 1/5 of the battery capacity? Reply

So maybe the debut of Corey Potter and the return of Blair Betts were not the only nuggets to come out of the morning skate.
The other tweak is yet another line change, with Scott Gomez likely to skate with Ryan Callahan and Lauri Korpikoski. Whether this means Chris Drury slips back in between Nikolai Zherdev and Markus Naslund remains to be seen.
I'm not sure of the reasoning here, although one theory would be Tom Renney's uneasiness with having Zherdev and Gomez, two occasional in-zone liabilities, together on the same line.
Confirmation on all this in a bit..

I am just about to start to use and learn python, and I am using the tutorials found on this website;
I am stuck on a problem found on
called "payment calculator".
A credit card company computes a customer's "minimum payment" according to the following rule. The minimum payment is equal to either $10 or 2.1% of the customer's balance, whichever is greater; but if this exceeds the balance, then the minimum payment is the balance. Write a program to print out the minimum payment using min and max. Assume that the variable balance contains the customer's balance. Your program does not need to print the dollar sign.
Example 1: if your balance is 1000, then your program should print 21.
Example 2: if your balance is 600, then your program should print 12.6.
Example 3: if your balance is 25, then your program should print 10.
Example 4: if your balance is 8, then your program should print 8.
I am, as stated, a complete beginner; I am conscious of how simple this probably looks to you! What I have so far, is this;
Balance = 1000, 600 or 25, that is 1-3 on the list, this works out
- Code: Select all
MinimumPayment = max(Balance * 0.021, 10)
And, when it is 8, which refers to example 4;
- Code: Select all
MinimumPayment = min(Balance, 10)
However, I`m not sure how to express this in the code, to get the right results; note that this problem is supposed to be solved only by using "min" and "max" functions!
I`d love to get some input on this!
Best regards, Bjorn.C


text: GarrickW 115 Report post Posted March 16, 2012 So I'm trying to code something similar to a 3D space sim, where I want six degrees of freedom. Apparently the best way to achieve 6DoF is with quaternions, so I've spent the last two days reading up about them and trying to get some code to work. I am using SFML 1.6 and OpenGL, nothing else. I have a Quaternion class that I'm fairly certain is mathematically correct, and can create a quaternion from an axis and an angle; it normalizes itself, and the multiplication operator is overloaded to perform a proper multiplication. However, don't understand how to transform the player's input into a quaternion representing a change in rotation. The player can input changes into the Pitch, Yaw and Roll, potentially all three at once. The object they are controlling is supposed to then rotate according to this input along its LOCAL axes. Suppose the player wanted to change the Pitch by 30°, the Yaw by 45° and the Roll by 10° all at the same time (I'm using that example because it's the most complex possible situation my code will have to deal with). So I have these nice little values, 30-45-10 (which I could also convert to radians), but what do I do with them? I've read dozens of tutorials, and what little I can make sense of them seems to indicate I need to make the change quaternion like this (pseudocode): [code]Qaternion xChange = Quaternion.FromAxisAngle(30, 1, 0, 0); Qaternion yChange = Quaternion.FromAxisAngle(45, 0, 1, 0); Qaternion zChange = Quaternion.FromAxisAngle(10, 0, 0, 1); Qaternion totalChange = zChange * yChange * xChange;[/code] Where FromAxisAngle takes the parameters (float Angle, float X, float Y, float Z). Then I apparently need to perform this on the object's current Orientation, also a quaternion: [code]Orientation = totalChange * Orientation;[/code] And finally derive a matrix from Orientation and pass that to glMultMatrix(). Unfortunately, my current code doesn't really work. Trying to change the yaw or roll just makes the object shiver, and trying to change the pitch makes the object spin correctly for a moment and then start to roll and grow enormously large at the same time. The thing is, deep down I know my code shouldn't work, because quaternion multiplications are non-commutative. I can't just willy-nilly multiply quaternions for three different orientations with one another - the order will end up influencing the result, right? What do I do when a particular axis isn't supposed to be rotating at the moment? I've got this not-working system in place, but I've tried half a dozen other configurations that don't work either. Rotation is the user-input rotation around the X,Y,Z axes respectively. I'n not doing any translation at the moment. [code]void Entity::Transform(sf::Vector3<float> Translation, sf::Vector3<float> Rotation) { if (Rotation.x != 0) { Quaternion Offset = Quaternion(); Offset.FromAxisAngle(Rotation.x, 1, 0, 0); m_Orientation = Offset * m_Orientation; } if (Rotation.y != 0) { Quaternion Offset = Quaternion(); Offset.FromAxisAngle(Rotation.y, 0, 1, 0); m_Orientation = Offset * m_Orientation; } if (Rotation.z != 0) { Quaternion Offset = Quaternion(); Offset.FromAxisAngle(Rotation.z, 0, 0, 1); m_Orientation = Offset * m_Orientation; } //Derive a rotation matrix m_Orientation.RotationMatrix(m_RotationMatrix); } [/code] Can somebody tell me how I'm supposed to transform my player input into the appropriate quaternion transformations? Note that I've also tried directly creating a quaternion from stored PYR variables, but this didn't work and I was told by someone reading my code that that was the wrong way to implement this sort of thing (unfortunately, his explanation of the right way to do it was extremely vague, at least to me). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who doesn't love Zooey Deschanel's signature hair? Or, Jennifer Garner's always-luscious, flowing locks? And women in Scottsdale have been following their lead, trusting one blowout salon in particular with their hair — Drybar. Due to the shop's success at the Scottsdale Quarter, Drybar is opening a second location in Phoenix on the Camelback Corridor.
"We are thrilled to be opening our second Drybar in Arizona," says Alli Webb, Drybar founder and longtime stylist. "Our existing Scottsdale shop in the Scottsdale Quarter has been warmly embraced by the lovely ladies in Arizona, and we are ecstatic to open Drybar in Phoenix."
With the opening of the Phoenix location scheduled for the end of October, the blow dry bar is also looking to hire 50 to 60 people. Positions include stylists and front desk personnel.
Drybar has locations open in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, San Diego and Atlanta, and the concept — offering no cuts, no color, just blowouts — has a following of more than 200,000 loyal clients nationwide.
And it isn't the shop's customer service that's over-the-top (in a positive way, of course); its design is, too with custom Italian chairs, tufted fabric walls, marble bar with built-in iPhone docking stations, and flat screens featuring your favorite chick flicks.
Drybar has also recently added some high-profile names to its Board, including Paul Pressler, former CEO of Gap, Inc. and a president at The Walt Disney Company; and Janet Gurwitch, founder and former CEO of Laura Mercier Cosmetics and executive vice president at Neiman Marcus.
"Drybar has created an incredibly cool and innovative experience for the consumer," says Gurwitch. "I am excited to be joining this impressive team to further expand the Drybar brand."

POLICE carried out a raid on a family home as officers tackle rising pedal cycle thefts in Worcester.
The raid happened in Tudor Way, Dines Green, Worcester yesterday.
Three bikes were seized - a Marin, an Eclipse racing bike and a child's Hill Hopper - as well as various bicycle parts following a thorough search of the property.
A man in his 20s agreed to attend Worcester Police Station for a voluntary interview on suspicion of handling stolen goods.
Officers, led by PC Paul Slaymaker, who is responsible for Claines and Arboretum, found some of the bike parts in the garden shed.
Officers wearing gloves conducted a search of the garden, the shed and a bin for evidence before they confiscated the bikes to carry out more checks.
Sgt Carl Jones said there had been a notable increase in bicycle thefts in Worcester city centre and on the St John's side of the river, recently.
"From January 1 across the city of Worcester there have been between 70 and 80 undetected bike thefts," he said.
A man aged in his mid 20s is helping police with their enquiries and was taken to Worcester Police Station where he will be interviewed under caution.
Sgt Jones said: "We may well be doing further warrants across the city centre in response to this issue."
In particular, thieves seem to be targeting Specialized (make) Hardrock (model) mountain bikes.
Anyone with information about suspected bike thefts can contact police on their non-emergency number 101.

When planning a fall wedding, it's easy to incorporate season fall elements into your big day, but trying to stay within budget could prove challenging. Don't despair! With our DIY fall wedding ideas, it's actually a lot easier to stay within your budget than you think.
Rather than cashing out your 401k, you can definitely save a few bucks if you get your bridesmaids together to make your centerpieces, tablescapes, party favors and other aspects of the wedding.
We picked some of our crafts and décor tips plus fun DIY ideas from around the web to help you save money on your fall wedding and not max out your budget so you can also go on that honeymoon!
Using Pumpkins for Place Cards
Don't be afraid to incorporate pumpkins into your fall wedding décor. This is a budget friendly idea that you can make at home quite easily. Buy small pumpkins in bulk at a local farm and use them as place settings for your guests.
By using the smaller pumpkins like featured here on Intimate Weddings, you avoid the Halloween look and make the tables look more fall.
Easy Wheat Grass Centerpiece
Adding wheat grass to your wedding décor can bring a nice natural element to your event space. And because it has a warm earthy color to it, this DIY fall centerpiece can go with any fall décor you have already planned for your wedding.
See how we created this fall décor item using wheat bundles for an easy and pretty wedding centerpiece.
Pine Cone Bouquets
It wouldn't be autumn without pine cones and we love this idea on Green Bride Guide who shows you how to actually use them in your bridal party bouquets.
Truly a clever and easy idea, using pine cones as bouquets is a great way to decorate your wedding for the fall. And since it's inexpensive to find pine cones (or you may even be able to get them outdoors for free!) and tie them up with ribbon for a quick and easy way to save money on your wedding budget.
Candy Apples Are Perfect for Fall Weddings
We recently planned an autumn apple inspired party that used candy apples in it's décor. By actually making food a part of your wedding decor, you and your bridal party can make them yourselves in an effort to save a few bucks.
Make candy apples at home and decorate your tables, for a nice way to use seasonal autumn apples.
DIY Garlands
One of the easiest ways you can decorate to save money is to make your own garlands. Hang your own DIY garlands like these leaf ones to really bring autumn into the room.
We made these with silk leaves that you can buy online at a discount or at your local craft store.
Dried Leaf Escort Card
This beautiful idea featured on Once Wed is an easy and budget-friendly way to create escort cards for your wedding guests.
By drying up leaves, write each guest and their table with calligraphy pen for a cute way to display escort cards at the entrance of your wedding.
Bake Your Own Favors
As couples look to cut down on wedding expenses, baking their own treats has become one of the top ways they can save some money.
Bake your guests these delicious mini apple pies to give as wedding favors for a nice autumn inspired treat.

Why you should be making an MMO
Well honestly I couldn't care less what you make or don't make. Do and show me that's it. Unlike some other people I don't try to convince anyone of anything. I write about my experience and if it can help someone in making or not making something then great. If not then great too! I'm just doing my thing.
So why this topic? Oh right it's related to the Why you shouldn't be making an MMO spotted on Brian's blog. The day still haven't come yet where I'll read something online and think "oh I should really not do what I want to do because Mr. X wrote that" so the author of the post didn't have to add "If you think I'm telling you to quit, well, then just don't listen to me" in his follow-up post. Trying to "win" an argument or make a point that way is just silly. I think I was doing the same thing with my sister when I was 8.
So what's annoying me in this post? Well it's not much what he says as if you're reading this you already know that I have worked on an MMO alone and that I'm now working on another so I can't possibly imagine any blog post discouraging me. What's bothering me is that if his intention was to somehow give some advice to people looking to build an MMO then he did so poorly. "Hey the Internet is not filled with enough negativism so let's make sure we don't run out of it!".
So let's get started…
"Get some unsolicited advice from a guy working on a real MMORPG"
"There have been many words bandied about in the past over this subject, and plenty of advice warning newbies not to get their hopes up when it comes to shipping a true MMO."
"But the real issue here is not the gameplay itself: it's the MMO part. More than that, it isn't even the "multiplayer" or "online" that is really an issue – it's the "massive.""
So the problem is the use of the MMO letters? Where can I get a permit to use those letters? I've said it before if the word "massive" is bothering you for a game like Golemizer then just assume the first M stands for "mini". Good? Is the heart rate dropping a bit?
Fact is even if I know Golemizer wouldn't be able to handle 10,000 players or maybe even 5,000 when I say it's an MMO people get what kind of game it is. Why would I want to go through the trouble of making it less obvious. If Beau from Massively thought it was worth to write an article on Golemizer isn't it good enough to just get over the fact that it's not technically "massive"? Nobody complained saying "hey there are not enough people there to speak about this game here". We all know that most "social games" have nothing "social" about them yet we just agree to use this word to know what kind of games we are speaking of.
So basically his point is "since you can't make something that will handle a massive load of people then don't you dare telling me you're making an MMO". If I was seriously hoping to have 10,000 players online at the same on my VERY FIRST GAME then I was even more nuts than I thought I was. Heck I'm sure my 2nd MMO will never have 10,000 online at the same time but shocker I plan to use the MMO letters to promote it. Shame on me. This time though I'm pretty sure the server could handle it as apparently SmartFoxServer is doing well with other games…
So, hopefully, that gives you some idea of what you're up against when you waltz into For Beginners and say, "hey, me and my three friends from high school want to make the next World of Warcraft."
Oh for the love of … Let's make a deal here. We shall never ever use the WoW example again. If you are a single developer and make it to the end like I did then it means you KNOW that it will never have anything to do with WoW. And seriously when is the last time you heard of high school friends being actually serious about making an MMO? Why throw this cheap example anyway? Oh well that Runescape guy was about 23 when the game was released so maybe you could say that's one example if we stretch it a little?
So back to the WoW thing. Cut it out. When speaking of single devs or very small teams wanting to make an MMO let's say they want "to make the next Dead Frontier". Deal? I know some people will still say WoW but look … We NEVER hear from them again so why put everyone in the same boat anyway. All it achieves is to give you that silly arrogant look of someone laughing at people who dream of making some project. Sure they shouldn't listen to you but why being a jerk about it? Dead Frontier is a nice MMO success for a very small team so any 1-dev team like me would be pretty damn happy to reach that kind of success. Is it Massive enough or is Dead Frontier still part of the false MMO family?
That's what bothering me about the whole "younglings should never touch an MMO with a 10 feet pole" thing (and not just this particular post). Every once in a while I receive a mail from a young Golemizer's player asking me how he should get started to build his MMO. I don't tell them they should avoid doing that (I'd be the very last person that could say that honestly…). I just answer NICELY their question and hint that it's a lot of work without telling them not to do it. If they ever get started they'll figure soon enough anyway that it's not simple. Am I not afraid they might waste their time on something they can't achieve? No… Since when trying something and learning from it is a waste of time? It's not like they could die from it. So why would I have to throw in their face "forget it, can't be done, you'll never get something massive done".
So yeah really it's just a matter of tone I guess. In life some people are inspirations, mentors and others are just jerks. Both might say the same thing but those choosing not to be jerks can actually sparks something and slowly bring someone a tiny bit closer to their dreams. Brian did that with me. Sure he told me it was kinda crazy (and I knew it) but instead of arguing about it he sat back, offer his advice from time to time and look at that! That newbie actually did it! Oh sure that newbie can't say that this M stands for Massive but what doesn't tell you that one day I won't graduate from MiniMO to MassiveMO? And yeah meeting someone who is not trying to sound like a jerk can actually helps a lot and I think that there's not enough people of this kind on the "don't blame me it's just teh Interwebz" thing.
Yeah, I think no indie dev would think they could match an AAA title by themselves that's just madness ( I tell you!!!! Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyes ) . Anyway, I agree that MMO is nowadays a type of games playable by many players over internet, and I can bet that many players don't really know what MMO stands for. Which is good
However I will brand my next MMO as a browser game because that it will be. Or perhaps a browser MMO since I don't want people to think it is a single player game. Truth be told, at this point it doesn't matter, but I'm pretty sure I won't forget the 'MMO' bit when discussing the game. We all aim for the massive part, don't we?
Exactly, Dave.
And, yes, sometimes people do get into a pissing contest about number of players making a "real" MMO. I was told many times that Meridian 59 wasn't a "real" MMO because it was smaller than UO or EQ, etc. People like to define their favorite game (or the one they're working on) as the "true" example and all "lesser" ones as "failed" or "unimportant". The problem is that if UO players dismiss M59, then EQ players can do the same to UO and WoW players can do the same to everone; then we lose our history.

How Lemonade made me an Entrepreneur!
21 August 2013
Citrus Saturday is a programme developed by UCL Advances to help younger people learn about and experience starting up a business.
The programme template can be used by any organisation to run a Citrus Saturday event and provides everything needed to run the workshops to teach teenagers basic business skills, learn about entrepreneurship and plan their business.
then get the chance, along with hundreds of other young people, to
create and run their own business for a day making and selling lemonade
to the public – on Citrus Saturday. The young people get to keep the
profits they make, ensuring they learn real business principles, while
having fun and gaining new skills and confidence.
Josh, now 16, is currently studying for his GCSEs at William Ellis School. Born in Islington, he lives with his mum in Camden. His favourite subject is science, and he'd like to study medicine when he finishes school. His hobbies are sports – specifically rock climbing and weight lifting – and he is working towards his Duke of Edinburgh's (DofE) Award. Josh has taken part in Citrus Saturday twice and is now planning on becoming a volunteer. Here's his story:
our teacher first told us about Citrus Saturday, I was curious to try it
out. I hadn't had the opportunity to do anything like this before. My
parents were really interested in the concept and happy for me to get
some business experience. There wasn't much for them to do, just sign
the approval form, and our teachers just had to put us in touch with the
organisers of the event, which was UCL Advances, who took us through
the process from start to finish.
"I had been
to UCL a few times, and I knew that it's a famous university. It was
really good to meet students who communicated with us on the same level –
we were able to talk about school, the future, even our social lives in
a way we can't always do with our teachers or parents.
the first Saturday workshop we were divided into teams of four and we
tried out different citrus recipes. I discovered an undeniable talent
[laughs] for making lemonade so that was left for me to do most of the
time. My team mates were better at advertising and organising and
selling so they were given those roles, although on the day we all
supported each other if one task was needed more than another.
the second workshop a week later we had to bid for a location for the
market stall in an auction. We also had to design a poster and banner to
make the stand more visible. There were prizes for the best poster, and
we won a £50 Amazon voucher."
On the morning
of Citrus Saturday, we met at the market to get everything ready. UCL
had delivered our fruit from local stalls outside the tube station from
our budget. On the day itself we sold around 100 cups of lemonade. Our
parents and teachers came by to support us and many of our customers
asked us what we were doing, and why. We made around £30 profit each.
enjoyed the day so much that I decided to take part again this year.
This time we knew where the best stands were, so we bid for a new
location, and we tried to improve on our advertising.
like to carry on being part of Citrus Saturday, so I approached Jack
[Wratten, the new Citrus Saturday Manager] about volunteering. I think
my experience would be very useful and it would be a chance to make a
contribution to the charity. It would also help me to get into a good
"I feel I have gained new skills
and increased my knowledge of entrepreneurship which will help me a lot
in later life. If I were to become an entrepreneur, I would start a
business in travel or technology. I admire Lord Sugar because he has
been exceptionally successful, starting at the bottom and reaching the
top, and he has become a TV celebrity as well.
am very pleased to hear that Citrus Saturday is spreading its message
to other places in the UK and is going into other countries in Europe.
I'm proud that it started in Camden, though, and that my school was
picked to take part. Otherwise I wouldn't have heard of it, and I think
that would be a loss."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A controversial project that was discussed in Mandarin ON Monday night was decided on Tuesday during Jacksonville's City Council meeting. The city council voted 18-1 to continue with a project that will bring three new businesses into Mandarin at San Jose Boulevard and Oak Bluff Lane.
The new businesses that are anticipated to be built on San Jose Boulevard at Oak Bluff Lane are a Chick-fil-a restaurant, a Chase Bank and Polio Tropical.
The project had previously received the okay from City Council committees, but was put back in front of the council Tuesday for a vote, an effort by those who opposed the new businesses to slow the process down.
The vote Tuesday night decided that the project would continue as planned, but also made it so there are certain conditions the businesses have to follow. For example, the businesses there will only be allowed to accept deliveries between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and if the businesses use a drive-through area, they will now need to be built on a certain side of the building.
Residents were also concerned about traffic and safety in the area after the businesses are built. City Council voted for changes in the area Tuesday so that traffic does not become an issue on Oak Bluff Lane.
No word yet on when construction for the project will begin.

Merton Council has promised to replace the trees that fell in the storms that hit before Christmas.
More than 100 public trees in the area were knocked down by the bad weather, causing widespread travel disruption and damage to homes, cars and businesses.
An elderly man was sent to hospital during the St Jude's storm after being hit by a falling branch, and people were trapped in their houses by falling debris.
As part of the council's usual planting programme, the highways team will be able to make sure that every tree that was damaged or felled is replaced by the right species in the correct area.
