Part 89
--- --- ---
Add to the "Infinite:BS is Inconsistent Fantasy" page
The Infinitely Bored Luteces :
Somewhere it was Mentioned by someone that Robert(Male) and Rosalind(Female) Lutece existed before Booker ever did his 'baptism' thing, and thus it (the games context) really IS NOT the same timeline split at THAT point.
If they try to avoid the whole infinite universes aspect of the specific Quantum theory (being that infinite additional 'timelines' split off every femto-second by interactions of countless quarks - not just by some supro-macro event like a 'baptism'), THEN simply pointing to the above story fact blows away that alleged mechanism from being validly employed as a premise. It removes the game's suggestion that 'undoing the baptism' will 'fix' anything. (Maybe if the shooting part of the game was better it would matter less...)
The problem with going technical/sciencey in a story is that you have to have some consistency and adherence to natural laws if you want it to be accepted properly. THAT is why in alot of Science Fiction (which actually is about the people's interactions in situations cause by technology) usually tries to stay away from real science details/explanations (is vague) if the story employs made up technologies for its "what if" plot. It might have helped if they did THAT in this game (and worse - they Hyped these aspects in all the endless official discussions made about the game).
So every time Booker and Elizabeth jump through a Tear, they are simply abandoning that previous dimension's reality (and that one will go on just as they left it - for good or ill). The Luteces apparently are just playing a game (154 heads...) while stuck in a "Groundhog Day" situation wrapped/trapped around a tiny slice of the continuum where the same stupid things happen, ad nauseum ... forever. ((Robert gave up long ago and just started putting random numbers on his counting board in an attempt for some little amusement for THIS go-round. 154 is actually the number of time he's seen Bookers 'head' blown clean off...))
The "go back and stop it from starting" is all fallacious for the same reasons - the infinite of infinites happening across all the parallel universes - the ones that contained the 'evil baptism' have already happened in their infinite number. Maybe you can jump into another similar universe it had not YET happen in (time shifted universe), but every Evil Comstock takes shape through an infinite sequence of quark branchings with different happenings in each universe, and it is unknown as to the future results (the whole probability thing REAL Quantum Physics is based on). Elizabeth, by meddling, could cause worse catastrophes -- infinitely worse ones. Her supposed godlike state apparently is because she is severely flawed/deluded/insane - and there are STILL all the other infinites where Comstock happens, no matter WHAT she does - it doesn't even have to be Comstock == Booker.
That is the problem with 'infinity' -- the concept IS rather hard for a game developer to get their head around, and they get into real trouble when they attempt to Explain/Employ it.

Flag of Rapture ?? :
Nationalism ? Yes and No - identity - used as mark of official presence (City Authorities...) There's no wind to make flags fly (currents out in ocean .. big lights, bioluminescent flags ? hmmm)
(Ryan's face - he would not want it on the flag ... on the money .. OK) Probably have the Atlas symbol (the Classic Titan, not that terrorist thug's face) along with the Great Chain ??
Mottos like "Science, Industry, Commerce", etc...
--- ---
Scene Where Jack First meets Tenenbaum and A Ready-to-Harvest Little Sister :
The 'nice' man Atlas is telling you to go get ADAM and that the Little Sisters aren't human any more (so kill them...) Its disclosed that Tenenbaum made them (not mentioning that he as Fontaine funded her and probably made the decision to make the whole child slavery thing happen ...)
Not too long previous, he was saying how ADAM drove everyone in the city insane, how addictive it is, etc... NOW He wants YOU to Splice up (further) to 'save his family', yet why hasn't he bothered to do this himself if he cares for them ?? (At what point did YOU start to get suspicious about him ??)
Not that you can do anything about it. It matters not if you figure out something is wrong, and that Atlas might not be the person you want to be telling you what to do. (Shallow stories are all that is needed for a shooter/blast-fest game).
MMORPG alternate plots for BS1 -- "Hello, this is Andrew Ryan your Father, I've had you deprogrammed and now you can decide if you want to go get Atlas, since he is Fontaine (as he told you) while betraying you six different ways from Tuesday. HE is the one who brought murder and destruction to thousands in this City, and already tried to KILL you once he no longer needed you. BTW, don't feel bad, as I already had figured what he was upto. That the control 'key' he has is worthless, and is only signalling me where he is right now. Take care of that evil piece of shit, and then come and have a talk with me, son."
--- --- ---
ADAM Addiction :
Consider some classically abused drugs, with which the User literally feels pain if they don't get their 'fix', and the effect of other drugs when you try to suddenly stop (go 'cold turkey' ) -- it can often kill. SO that type of 'addiction' - is that of being an actual physical dependency (versus psychological) - THAT may be a big aspect for some users of ADAM (the ADAM crisis which justifies Ryan 'Seizing' Fontaine Futuristics).
Negative effects might include things like tissue rejection caused when the DNA/RNA changes start failing, and the user starts reverting if they don't maintain their ADAM intake - amplified when you had massive body changes like Combat Plasmids (and possibly rushed formulas/production for those because of the Civil War Emergency -- or Fontaine not giving a damn anyway).
It is possible that there were treatments to minimize these side-effects, which the opportunities for went away when Rapture went into Chaos (and when more and more people were using ADAM, and the quality might be dropping and ADAM less available).
We may see the Vita Chambers all over the city BECAUSE those machines were Ryan's solution to try to alleviate some of the negative effects the large populations of Splicers were experiencing.
--- --- ---
"The Luminescent Biomass is the enigmatic source of ADAM in the BioShock series" :
SO the story is that the Coca Cola company decided to dump its leftover chemicals from their 1910ish brand Radio-Coke ("It has Radium !!!" - a product of the popular public healthful attribute misconception after the discovery of that element and other radioactives like Radon. Dubious health-giving effects was attributed to it in the common culture of that time). This resulted in the supposed mutation of the Sea Slugs, which ADAM comes from. Hence the glow...
That could be a nice origins story for it, or not.
Anyway - Whats to keep the whatever out in the nearby ocean from mutating Rapture's inhabitants ? Maybe THAT is the real source of the widespread deformities (and insanity, etc...). Fish will concentrate 'the whatever' chemicals within their metabolic systems, and Rapturites ate LOTS of fish ....
Of course REAL radiation damages and kills things generally, much more frequently than it mutates them (and most significant mutations are fatal to the mutated organism - disrupting some important functioning -- that is why they irridate food to preserve it - kills all the bacteria in a sealed package).
This glowing Biomass I would rather attribute to bioluminescence (which REALLY DOESNT have much to do with mutations, other than atypically being located at this spot), and the gentle SeaSlug's ADAM just being the result one of your every-day natural mutations. The Slugs 'mutation' is just a local anomaly, as any function of every organism was originally the product of one or more 'mutations'. The Slug's ADAM chemicals sounds like some venom effect which was a viable trait for use against the Seaslug's (actually a mollusk) enemies or prey. It just happened to also have a significant effect on human tissue.
Small Bioluminescent organisms living in some microcosm created by the geothermal activity down there (warmth and possibly chemicals from volcanic vents) ???
Biomass sounds like a buzzword which really only implies "bunch of stuff living down there in the cold depths", and with that level of bioluminescence it would be more than a small microcosm around a few hot volcanic vents. Bioluminescence takes up energy and the light intensity decreases rapidly with distance thru water, so it has to be a huge mass of something able to waste energy (implying a rich environment) and possibly be floating throughout the water itself to be close enough to where anybody could see it so brightly.
A cute (and plausible) answer - the organic pollution from Rapture enriched the environment sufficiently (feeding bacteria and thus on up the food chain) allowing what might have been a much smaller original 'Biomass' (near the volcanic vents) to spread significantly - causing the whole area around parts of Rapture (centered around the waste disposal outlets...) to glow (much more than they did when Rapture wasn't there).

Fontaine's Army :
McDonagh : "Fontaine knew our blokes were coming. We were done over. Them Splicers come screaming out the woodwork. Burping fire, spitting ice... demons out of the Bible, they were. Never seen nothing like it. It wasn't a business he was building, it was an army."
Yet McDonagh feels that the dead Fontaine's businesses shouldn't be taken over (no mention Fontaine ever had anyone, heir or partners, who would be there to assume control/ownership).
It is all proceeds from a criminal activity, which are usually forfeit under common law, but that is ignored. Seizing the businesses to stop and investigate the extent of other criminal activities of business bought with money generated by Fontaine's criminal Smuggling.
We (until later) don't hear detail about any other of Fontaine's businesses (besides Fontaine Futuristic and the Fisheries) being 'seized' or 'nationalized' (Fisheries were used directly for the Smuggling crimes and Futuristics to produce the weaponized plasmids used to kill city Law Authorities).
But then "Ryan Baaaad" is the contrived story, so logic/consistency need not apply.
--- --- ---
Fresh Fish :
With all the crates/boxes/piles of fish (and living ones flapping around) seen in Neptunes Bounty (BS1) it seems fish harvesting operations were still ongoing -- probably resumed/restored after "Ryan's Peace" was established by suppression of the Atlas's Splicer Violence using the Pheromone system. Ryan had had to do alot to keep the people of Rapture alive while the fighting with Atlas's anarchists was ongoing. Fish go bad very fast (and you have no "ADAM did it" excuse, as you might for all the well-preserved corpses), so all that would be from very recent fishing activity.
--- --- ---
Alphas with Barnacles on Their Suits :
It requires a Long time of being in the ocean water for Barnacles to grow (and it disrupts/kills them when they are out of sea water too long). Suits stored in water ? Has to be Ocean water - else the barnacles dry up after too long out of the water and die (never to grow that big and the small ones while they are trying to adhere need a stable surface). Suits normally would be washed down as part of their maintenance. We saw alot of the Big Daddies walking about inside (dry) for long periods of time.
- Possibly recovered Suits from dead Alphas which sat out in the ocean for an extended period ?
- Barnacles also adhere to solid surfaces. The cloth (canvas) sections of that type of suit would not have any barnacles growing on them.
- Maybe we should have had some barnacles growing on the faces of Splicers (and certainly those dead ones (corpses) in the water which seem to last intact forever).
So NO Barnacles on any Big Daddies in the MMORPG.
--- --- ---
Your Rapture Directory (Phone Book, RT&T ) :
"... in your Rapture Directory" (heard in Minervas Den)
Not known whether the phone company (Rapture Telephone and Telegraph) maintained The Rapture Directory or someone else (as a separate business).
There must've been many many copies of this (phonebook) directory to be found, and they are a valuable source of information because such a directory includes ADDRESSES of businesses, which can be located on old maps of Rapture.
Perhaps for the sake of 'play' interest in the MMORPG, only pages are to be found (Splicers used most of the original supply for TP or somesuch), and many surviving pages are water (or other) damaged.
Depending on what the found page contains, some may only be worth turning in to City Hall for the Bounty, while others might contain clues to possibly valuable salvage locations (and used as Props in Missions)..
There would be a New Rapture Directory for the MMORPG's restored phone system in New Rapture (dont forget to get your business listed...).
--- --- ---
Societal Systems (Philosophies) in Opposition - Ryan Vs Lamb :
The difference is that Rapture would have never got built under Sophia Lamb
Parasites consume, not produce. They also impair the normal function of the 'host', often to the point of being fatal. Collectivists run to only the least common denominators, and the people who manage to get into power don't want everyone else to excel.
Ryan's world (and society) was much closer to our own (assuming YOU the reader don't live in North Korea), and the Lamb's collectivist system would have died immediately if it was without the preexisting city to live off of. It could not build such a place. A similar result would likely happen any place on the Surface 'The Family' infested. And the Free World would probably fight against Sofia's tyrannical system as it actually did others whose goal was subjugation (that's assuming her delusions actually added upto anything more than just a bunch of unfortunate people held under her sway, and that they could manage to be much of a threat before they died off).
As Augustus Sinclair once said - "Sofia Lamb is the Rot in the Wainscoting"
--- --- ---
Puppet Show Done With Corpses by Splicers :
An amusing thing to see, and it explains why we found so many corpse just lying about Rapture (intact, seemingly for years) --- I betcha YOU didn't notice the strings like I did....
Splicers apparently had lots of time on their hands (or what they had left of their hands...) , and it is easy (and unfortunate) for one to run out of amusements...
Other pieces of cadavers might have various uses (hmmmmm -- Alas poor Yorick... ).
Actually (for MMORPG), this is more serious than you think. Splicers (the ones still surviving being pretty clever) have MANY ways to fool you, and there now is a general warning about verifying that corpses are actually dead, and to watch out for situations where 'dead' are used to look alive.
--- --- ---
MMORPG Mini-Game - Clash of Clowns :
Introducing a Rapture Reborn MMORPG exclusive - The Clown Splicer (3D printer downloads will be made available to all paying Players).
New Plasmids used only in "The Circus" - a nitrous oxide chamber
Colorful horrifying maiming and death - what more could you want for a computer game ?? Quite a 'laff and a half' ... Grease Paint and Clawhammers and Napalm ... what fun !!
Gibs complete with colorful sparkles and fake acid spitting flowers and smears of black and white grease-paint.
If the Red Nose suddenly glows purple - watch out !!! Masks were one thing - but now the whole body hidden !!!!
--- --- ---
The Plasmids Visual Presentations (Being Not Quite As Shown in Advertisements) ... :
This fact was a well known joke amongst the Users :
Have Fontaine Futuristics/Ryan Labs Product Development Films of how the Plasmids/Tonic 'in use' actually worked, and what smoke and mirrors effects enhanced making them look more 'real' (many made by the Plasmid producing company - including designer's talk-throughs with comments on how to hype the product, criticisms, requests for improvements, and ways that they could be best 'sold' to what customers).
One particular Constipation Cure did not quite make it to being one of the popular Combat Plasmids (lucky for us ??). Something being about it too messy and requiring an awkward stance...
Lovely partial animations (like the Plasmid instructionals we got in BS1/BS2, etc...)
Demonstration 'test' films showing things going wrong ...
Some shown explanations of the 'effects' being more suggestive, and actually being done someway other than what the name implies (ie- Teleport being more a time distortion to the user and the common 'clouding' effect to those watching, instead of some physically impossible action).
--- --- ---
ADAM Terminology and Slang :
There was a whole ADAM users 'Sub-Culture' that would have grown around its use - normal uses (for work ...) and for the 'recreational' aspect of the products. There would be an early period - some being from commercials and advertisements, and then later there would be the Civil War terms. After that, more would probably be used by the inhabitants during the Chaotic Period. New Rapture would add more as the non-users (ex-Splicers) would have terms more of derision emphasizing the rejection of ADAMs use.
The Players could come up with new terms for all of these - no good using anachronistic slang from our world - original stuff please... No "Splice This Sucka!!!"
Comedy acts would come to include references to ADAM. Popular Songs, etc...
Teenagers would no doubt come up with totally unintelligible phrases and verbage (as they always do).
Newspapers and literary sources would coin terminology for all the aspects of life ADAM would affect.
Who knows what all the deranged Splicer societies would have come up with.
Squidin' ...
--- --- ---
Tenenbaum "in front of a Gene Sequence" :
Basic Bacteria (ie- E Coli - simple bacteria organism/tissue) has ~4million base pairs of Amino Acids (~3000 Genes) - thats ALOT of "stringing the nucleotide beads", a bit more than one long nights work, assuming you know/understand the order you want them to be in. Plasmids (the independent loops of DNA utilized) fortunately can have base pair sequences only in the thousands.
So again the Plasmid/Tonic effects should (to be within the realm of possibility) HEAVILY need to make use of EXISTING genes/sequences from EXISTING biological examples for the effects the Plasmid/Tonics achieve, and the mechanisms they are implemented through.
We already know that the ADAM products aren't particularly stable, so THAT aspect makes it a bit simpler to design (alot of a real organisms genetic/body mechanisms have complex redundancy/self-repair built into them to be resistant to all the external forces which can damage/disrupt their function and limit the organism's continued existence.) The genetics used can be quite a bit cruder than Nature's...
--- --- ---
Self Sufficiency in the Modern World is a Tall Order :
Rapture is far too small and lacks the broad range of resources needed to sustain something equivalent to our modern-age existence for very long.
Find Alternatives - of which many may be MUCH more expensive, thus production being relegated only to the highest priority uses. Find Equivalent materials, OR create Synthetics, OR going long distances under the Ocean, to get what is required.
Do Without - more than a few modern technologies were based on materials taken from just a few special places in the world (where they were eventually obtained cheaply enough to be used by ordinary people, otherwise they are luxuries only for rich people.)
PRE-Stockpile - Surface-obtained materials/tools cheaply, sufficient to last some long length of time (many-many decades) -- at minimum initially to give a little time to develop alternatives.
Continue to (have to) Import - from the Surface World (Authorized 'secure/safe' imports may have continued for critically necessary things or for deficiency discovered late). New technologies developed "Up There" might solve some of the shortage problems - allowing production IN Rapture.
--- ---
Some Pictures of Flybots are Wrong :
Having only a single main propeller will have the unit spinning uncontrollably on its up-down axis, as it has nothing substantial to counter/oppose that rotational force (most simple helicopters have the tail-fan which pushes against the rotation out on a long tail - it is long for leverage). The real Flybot design, preserving its basic shape (as seen), had double lift propellers going in opposite directions to counter each other's rotation force (which many real helicopters do that way).
--- ---
Raising a City (for Real) :
Chicago was originally built low near the Lake Michigan water level (the whole location was relatively flat) which prevented the sewers from functioning properly, leading to a severe sanitation problem. The solution was to raise the entire city dozens of feet so that the sewers had an adequate downhill flow.
In January 1858, the first brick building in Chicago was raised -- a four story, 70 foot wide, 750 ton masonry structure, located at the north-east corner of Dearborn Street and Randolph Street, was lifted.
Large numbers of screw jacks placed under the building and worked manually by hundreds of men were used to simultaneously raise the intact buildings, and new foundations/cellars were build underneath to hold up the raised structures. Street levels were raised with earth fill to match the new elevations.
Fortunately that was the days of few utilities (or regulations/lawyers) to complicate the operation.
Problem with floaty shit in Infinites Columbia - what powered all the fantasy whatzits and doodads ? Didn't see any smokestack/powerplants for every separately floating building/city block, so there must've been some additional thingamabobs and fandangles to perform that needed function. So why did so much of the rest of the city still have technological throwbacks still in use ? They only had 2 decades to make use of all the magical stuff stolen through Tears. Such things (mechanisms) would also make perfect targets for those Vox anarchist bombthrowers - just have to cut a few wires (or whatever) and huge sections of Columbia go hurling towards the ground or into collision, with appropriately impressive destruction and loss of life. Great story potential completely lost.
--- --- ---
Point Prometheus Facility Question :
The game writers want Ryan to be 'the bad guy', so of course emphasize the whole 'Turn children into Lil Monsters' thing, but Fontaine had to have multitude of LS being 'milked' (long before Ryan 'seized' Fontaine Futuristics) to support his extensive ADAM product production. It is quite likely most LS preexisted Ryan's running Rapture's ADAM industry. The 'child' snatching incidents which we get anecdotal evidence of - it is not clear how prevalent that was, or how many predated Fontaine's death (or even if there were widespread activity of ADAM bootleggers, who needed their own LS).
We see Point Prometheus sometime (year or more) after the Civil War starts, and the Gatherer/Protector programs are seriously in progress -- WHEN unclaimed bodies are plentiful (much earlier, "Gathering" from living Splicers may have been looked into as a way to suppress the criminally insane incarcerated ones).
Why else does Atlas/Fontaine run to Point Prometheus (if he didn't have a hand in setting it all up originally)?? One of his abandoned facilities ?
Education Facilities for processing/conditioning the 'host' Little Sisters (pre-Gathering) would preexist (maybe Fontaine referred to them as his "Golden Goosies" ?).
The armored escorts (Protectors) would be a logical successor to the pre-Big Daddy maintenance worker programs (and make use of similar/same facilities).
The Big Daddy making facilities are substantial, and really don't look like the product of a war emergency situation (wouldn't need the 'happy' signs... the building looks purpose built... The Maintenance Cyborgs made from criminally insane Splicers could predate all that 'Protector' thing by many years.
The Museum complex converted into a training area does look quite expeditious (and Ryan may have been considering using armed BDs as 'soldiers' - if the civil war went on for much longer).
Suchong worked there while the Protectors (ignore that broken BaS Canon that he died alot earlier) were being created, but similar work may have been done for Maintenance Cyborgs with all the genetic modifications they would require.
It is a bit odd that Fontaine would still have that huge setup at the top of that large building without Ryan knowing/having it dismantled/sealed up. Fontaine supposedly never Spliced, so how likely to have that whole thing there to desperately overfill himself with ADAM (which he would have known would be eventually fatal) when a really good escape submarine to take him quickly to the Surface World (and greater fortunes/power) would have been a MUCH better contingency ???? The Bioshock Game Plots are not "great" literature, AND often pretty illogical ....
--- --- --- ---
"Columbia To Infinity" was a novel-based Film made in Rapture :
Written around 1955...
A Rapturesque fictional allegory about the poisonous effects of Parasitism upon people and society. It is set in a warped mythical city state, in the manner of urban America in the earlier part of the 20th century, but really with little real resemblance to the Historic America (low production values... hack writing).
There is absurd religious extremism (a very bad parody of Christianity as a state religion), with the city being founded around it. Grotesque metaphysical beliefs are displayed and portrayed as used to reinforce the allegiance of the ruling population. The City's leaders misuse the images of some American Founding Fathers as religious idols, men who had themselves sought freedom from state religions in their time, but whose image are in the story's city, ironically named "Columbia", being misused as tools for tyranny, to somehow justifying actions in the name of patriotism and religion.
Racism is used as a catalyst to implement a regimented class system within the community, with 'pure' whites as the rulers, and non-whites, mediterraneans, orientals, non-believers as the serfs.
There is crony capitalistic Monopolism of the City's industry, manufacturing and businesses, with unsubtle pretended 'competition', which forms a trap for unfortunate 'have nots' being limited to low bidding in a 'buyers' labor market. The fantasy businesses presented in the story ignore/distort all the commercial/legal components which would be needed to make an economic system work. Technological advancements are largely turned to ways to control the population and to make war against the world. It is never explained/shown how raw materials manage to get to the City or how the City formed and survived.
A extensive secret police/police state suppresses not just the lowly serf-like workers, but everyone else into a state of fear - that of not conforming sufficiently. Countless informants keep 'tabs' on loyalty expressed via thoughts and deeds of the populace, including a hierarchy of serfs.
Lickspittle Journalism is just an organ of the government ruling class, and regurgitates whatever the tyrants require to pretend to justify themselves.
The 'Twist' to the Film's story is that the City itself is a delusion contrived by a bunch of self-serving 'evil' charlatans (shown pretending to create great scientific advancements for humanity's betterment), who by using hallucinogenic drugs and people's gullibility, enable a complex charade, which is simply a proving ground - part of a bigger plan to eventually do the same to control the entire world.
Self-serving anarchists (who have no solutions like most anarchists) exist as 'the dangerous other', who violently oppose the despotic situation, but are easily manipulated. They become the pawns of the ruling party to create crisis and fear amongst the population, which in turn is all being used by the charlatans to further their goals. Those who disagree with the rigid 'class' arrangements, even if belonging to the higher classes, are ferreted out and dispose of.
Bizarre magic like events take place in the Film's story (weren't in the book), which do little but confuse the purported theme (apparently they were added as an excuse to have better 'Special Effects' -- Many of the clay-mation techniques weren't too bad...). Some of the 'floating' aspects hinted at, but not really elaborated upon, in the Film were some kind of reference to the "Raising of Chicago", but only as heard and misinterpreted by an idiot.
A murderous thug sent on a mission into Columbia is part of a plan to 'stir the pot' at a time when the city had been made into a 'powder keg' (you see not quite clever symbolistic objects of these repeatedly throughout the story) as a pretext for culling out all "undesirables" to facilitate the adoption of a mechanical revolution (whom the charlatan masters will have even greater control over).
In the end, the whole fake city crashes in flame and burns, taking all with it - both the innocent and the guilty, leaving only one who managed to escape it early, to relate the tail to the viewers (call me Ishmael...). The lesson of the story being that layers of parasitism and expected/fostered parasitism leads to degeneracy and eventual catastrophe for the World's peoples.
Music, songs and dance scores by S. Cohen.
The work was much criticized in Rapture's press for its crude/absurd distortions, in alluding that it represented the social ills of 1900 America, and the author's feeble argument that the exaggerations were "justified to make a point". The Rapture Times Movie Reviewer said : "I thought it was a farce comedy, until I was told it wasn't... still a greater farce then, in another way. I give it Three Dead Fish."
Ryan's comments upon the work were : "There are more than enough real situations in the World (now and in the past) where Parasitism and Altruists have dragged down mankind without having to create some absurd fantasy place to illustrate it. A new wing of Ryan Amusements is NOT expected to be added using the film as its theme."

A Tokyo man who has been receiving treatment for mental disease slashed a 71-year-old woman early Mar. 17 on a road in Nakano Ward.
The woman, identified as Natsuko Shimada, suffered a serious neck wound. Her assailant was arrested on suspicion of committing bodily injury when he showed up at a police station later.
The man, whose name was being withheld, told investigators he had been "given a divine order to attack a person," police said. At about 5 a.m., residents in the neighborhood heard a woman scream for a help and found Shimada lying in a pool of blood with a man standing beside her on a road in front of their condominium at the Kamitakada section of Nakano Ward. Shimada was cleaning part of the road in front of the condominium at the time, they said. The man, who was holding what appeared to be a bloody cooking knife, fled while Shimada was being taken to a nearby hospital, local residents told police.

It'll Cost Dallas $3.3 Million to Pull Tires and Trash From the Trinity and Lake Ray Hubbard
It's not just cars Dallas dumps in the Trinity River. It's tires, too -- tons of them embedded in the muck and stranded along the banks. Particularly cluttered is the stretch of river between the Trinity River Audubon Center and Interstate 20.
"They just dumped load after load of tires, and they dumped them on the bank of the river channel," Assistant City Manager Jill Jordan tells The Dallas Morning News. "Last year we pulled out what we could from up top, where our employees could get to them safely. But these are on the banks and in the water and have started floating down and are now all the way to I-20."

Enter Good Earth Corp. and Hess Construction. The Dallas City Council will vote on January 22 on whether to pay them a combined $3.3 million to pull tires from the Trinity and trash from Lake Ray Hubbard.

That's a lot of scratch, but, as Jordan points out in a note to the council, there are enough tires in the river, and enough trash at Ray Hubbard, that it's "causing deteriorating water quality."
Also, it's not like these cleanups happen every year. The last city-led effort happened in 2005 and 2006 and consisted of two code compliance workers pulling 42,000 tires from empty lots and along creek and river beds, according to the DMN.

The Program
The Technology Fellows program was built to encourage and foster student achievement through the use of technology engaged learning with faculty and staff at UAA. While the central purpose of the Technology Fellows program is on course redesign, each year we select a specific focus to encourage faculty to continually build and expand new skills, interests and abilities.
The 2016 Tech Fellows cohort will focus on Making Learning Visible. This program has long been a part of the teaching and learning professional development at UAA through CAFE programming. This group will have the opportunity to delve into the MLV program goals, create an investigative plan with the goal of documenting and publishing your findings through the eWolf ePortfolio system.
CAFE's Making Learning Visible (MLV) program is UAA's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) initiative. The program gives faculty an opportunity to not only improve their expertise in the field, but to develop pedagogical expertise, too. It is designed to help faculty assess the efficacy of classroom strategies, document the effectiveness of their teaching, share effective strategies with peers, and demonstrate exemplary teaching in professional contexts such as the promotion and tenure portfolio.

The recent Nobel Prize nod to traditional Chinese medicine has bestowed a degree of respectability on what was previously dismissed as superstitious nonsense by the most progressive of Chinese intellectuals. Now government officials and research scientists alike are dreaming of a veritable "pharmucopia" (not just in China, but also in India). Still, translating traditional knowledge into the language of modern science is a task that has only recently begun and has some way to go.
Such knowledge transfers are hardly unprecedented however. It was not even a hundred years ago that Chinese and Indian scholars were struggling to translate Western scientific concepts to make them accessible to local populations.
Imagine, for example, trying to translate "isochronous" and "semi-cubical parabola" (and I have no idea what they mean) for the peasantry. That was precisely the challenge faced by reformers and educators in the princely state of Hyderabad in pre-independence India.
But why translate at all? At the time, scientific knowledge in India was confined to a miniscule English-educated elite. To bring enlightenment to the masses, you had to use the language of the masses: not English, nor classical Sanskrit, Persian or Arabian (all courtly languages), but Urdu.
The concern (then as now) was that many scientific terms were nothing more than "a string of mnemonic words to students who have not a smattering of Greek and Latin, from which languages most of the terms are derived. For instance, when we know that 'dorsal' and 'ventral' come from the Latin 'dorsali' and 'ventralis' –pertaining to the back and belly respectively—these terms live in our imagination."1 To really understand these concepts, students had to encounter them in a context and a language with which they were familiar.
It was tempting, however, to translate into Arabic: for one, the Arab world had its own scientific traditions, and some of the classical words could still be applied to modern science (especially where modern science had borrowed from Arab science). As an ancient language, Arabic also had an expansive vocabulary. Urdu, by contrast, was a young language.
Still, according to the (dumb then and dumb now) thinking of the time, science could be learned better in "rational" Indo-Aryan languages (like Urdu and English). This was because Urdu, unlike Arabic, could be used to create new words through combinations of words and the use of prefixes and suffixes. Ironically, in the end, much Urdu scientific terminology ended up borrowing heavily from Arabic.
If translating into Urdu was challenging, one can imagine how much more challenging it was to translate into a logographic system like Chinese. Pictograph for magnesium, anyone?
The Chinese had had experience with massive translation projects when they translated Buddhist scripts into Chinese many centuries earlier. A similar technique was used in translating mathematics, physics and chemistry into literary Chinese, whereby a Chinese scholar would transcribe the oral translations of a foreigner who knew enough Chinese to transmit the gist of the meaning of a text.
When it came to new scientific terms, the scribe had seven options:
- He could leave the word as is, in English script embedded among Chinese characters, thus highlighting its foreignness—not a good idea in a culture already resistant to new ideas;
- He could transliterate the sounds into Chinese characters, but this was thought to be the clumsiest of methods;
- He could use Japanese loanwords;
- He could use archaic Chinese characters—with almost 50,000 characters, surely one of them was bound to fit;
- He could create a new character;
- He could juxtapose two or more existing characters to create a new word; or
- He could use existing terms, emphasizing the continuity between modern science and a Chinese past.2
The Urdu translation bureau in Hyderabad translated fifty five thousand words over twenty-eight years. Unfortunately, as an official language, Urdu fell out of favor for political reasons and so much of this effort came to naught.
The Chinese effort was more successful–as attested to by the rising status of Chinese research institutions globally.
The more interesting question raised here, however, has to do with the nature of secular/ scientific thought itself. Does secular thought reside in the European languages? The Chinese and Urdu experiences show otherwise.
Moreover, in a world of rising intolerance and fundamentalism, shouldn't the scientific translation project be revived so that more people everywhere have meaningful access to these ideas?

DJ Magazine - LEFTFIELD PAGE - September 2004
Turning more tricks than Jesus, Nicola Conte is something of a miracle worker. And right on cue he's done it again with this twelve. Acting as a pre cursor to his new album 'Other Directions', it's business as usual as he fires off two more exemplary lessons in dance floor jazz-traditional, faithful and bursting to the seems with polished, masterful musianship.
DJ Magazine - GUEST REVIEWS PAGE BY STONEBRIDGE - SEPTEMBER 2004
Italian producer Nicola Conte pulls together some cool jazzy beats with a summery feel to match the title. This is perfect for a beach party. Three, four in the afternoon, the sun is starting to get a bit yellow, drinks come out, sangria next to the sun bed, See feet tapping... Its cool.
DJ Magazine - 20TH AUGUST ISSUE
As Phil & I keep reiterating, every now & again we will review the odd out and out jazz cut, 'coz if you feel soul music, you must surely understand dance floor jazz. The two tracks featured here are fine examples of the kind of jazz that rocks the party at the North Sea Jazz Festival or during one of those cherished jazz sessions at Southport. Jazz is naturally Darwinist but good jazz is good jazz and 'Impulso' pays respect to great labels such as Impulse, Blue Note or Muse with its finger snappin' flava. The solos are outstanding, As is the rhythm section that finds the sticks gyrating around the kit, Rather like a spinning northern soul dancer. 'Kind of Sunshine' is a little more modern, its muttering conga and shuffling drums are tailor made for nu school jazz clubs. Lucia Minetti's sensual vocal is laid out over the backing with all the skill of a masterful confectioner throwing hot sugar about, Ready to weave a delicate toffee basket. Here Nicola Conte and Lucia Minetti are weaving something much sweeter and tastier and tastier though; this stuff really does melt into a fine piece of galloping contemporary dance floor jazz. Suck it and see!
Blues & Soul Magazine
Sounding like it was tailor made for the sun-glistened bars and steamy dance floors on the banks of the Mediterranean, 'Kind Of Sunshine' will brighten up even the most miserable of days for those of us further north. Nicola Conte is the king of today's future jazz movement and this release adds further ammunition to his incredible array of musical weaponry. 'Kind of Sunshine' is the energetic jazzier lost cousin of St Germain's 'Rose Rouge', courtesy of its infatuated vocals, tearaway drums and polite keys. 'Impulso' is a more traditional affair, where a scintillating brass and vibraphone combo shine. BPM Magazine in USA Calling all swingers: here's your slice of vocal jazz heaven from Italy's swankest purveyor of bossa nova. On 'Kind of Sunshine', Conte lets a sweet trio of trombone, trumpet, and sax take turns in the spotlight over a 4/4 bass drum while 'Impulso' keeps everything in the lounge. Laid back sixties-style jazz with a modern flair. - P. N.
Undercover Magazine
A lone double-bass riff invites a jazz lady to tell me I'm her kind of sunshine. She flicks her cigarette to the floor and, as it hits, a driving jazz drums and bongo beat kicks off. The pianist drops some lazy minor chords while nodding to the horns to come out of the shadows and caress the back of her neck with a snaking modal melody before climaxing with a delirious trombone solo. Some music is as good as sex. Impulso encapsulates the best of sixties Blue Note with lively, open, Blakeyesque drums, horns, piano and vibes.
247 Magazine
The swinging Italian comes up with another better. The mood is set at the breaking of dawn, wafting a fragrant sense of serenity, which is further enhanced by the gorgeous vocals from Lucia Minetti, Latin colourings and a generously warm horn solo. On the b-side we have Impulso; energetically flipping the script, the strong modal energy and whooshing pitter-patter of vibes and horn interchanges provide both dance floor promise and the perfect antidote to winter.

Largest Medical Missions Conference in the World
November 05, 2007 - 12:00 PST
BRISTOL, TN (November 5, 2007) -- Global Missions Health Conference, the largest medical missions conference in the world, will be held for the 12th year in Louisville, KY at Southeast Christian Church, November 8-10th.
The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for networking, training and strategizing how to better carry out the Great Commission and a place for recruiting the next generation of healthcare missionaries.
"Considering that 40 percent of hospital beds in Africa are located in mission facilities, there is a tremendous need for medical missionaries to provide care in that HIV and war ravaged continent. This conference provides direction and preparation for those who are just beginning this journey and for missionary veterans who are interested in enhancing their ministry," states David Stevens, MD, CEO of Christian Medical & Dental Associations.
This year's speakers include: David Stevens, MD, who served on the mission field for 11 years at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya, Africa; Steve Saint, the son of Nate Saint, who was killed in 1956 when an Amazon tribe attacked him along with four other missionaries; Eli Catacunga, a Ticuna tribesman from the Amazon and Senior Africa Director of MAP International Peter Okaalet, MD.
"The challenges medical missionaries face are tremendous from providing preventative and curative care to meeting the physical, spiritual and social needs while finding resources, developing partnerships and overcoming barriers. The Global Missions Health Conference provides solutions for missionaries working in challenging environments," added Stevens.
In November 2000, Christian Medical & Dental Associations jointly sponsored and spearheaded an effort to bring a wide variety of ministries together for an annual medical missions conference with Southeast Christian Church. This first meeting provided 40 workshops and was attended by 800 participants. Seven years later the conference has grown with nearly 150 exhibitors from around the world, co-sponsored by nine ministries and 70 workshops. And close to 3,000 people are expected to attend this year's conference. A third of those are students and residents.
To schedule an interview, please contact Margie Shealy at (423) 844-1047 or by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. The Christian Medical Association is equipped with Ku Band Digital Uplink satellite and ISDN lines.

We are saddened by the vindictive and inaccurate statements in a letter writ ten by our colleague, Joe Morano, in support of the DeCoursey-McLaughlin campaign. We condemn the letter and refute the allegations made in it. We also regret that he has not seen fit to speak face-to-face with any of us regarding the issues raised in his letter to a select group of residents. Instead, he decides to present new, unfounded allegations in his less-than-sincere apology to justify his actions. It is ironic that these two letters are addessed to residents with children in the town's recreation program. The virtues of honesty, team building and responsibility are completely ignored. The residents of Florham Park should expect and demand that their elected officials lead by example for our children.
Mr. Morano promised much and had great promise as a councilman, but has stooped to a low level never seen before from a sitting Florham Park councilman. Now his name may be forever associated in this town with "dirty politics." It is a shame.
Over the past years, council meetings have been open and very productive. Issues have been debated and resolved based on what we believe is the best interest of all residents. We don't make such important decisions based on emotion, on hear say, or because any one person expects it.
We will continue to use this philosophy because our goal is to continue to improve excellent services provided to our community.

Florham Park
(Council members Andrew O'Connor, Edwin Wessling and William Stoddard also signed this letter to this newspaper.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Our mission is to provide high quality frames (most of which we build on site) at competitive prices. We offer custom framing for oil paintings, photographs, fine art prints, mirrors, posters, etc. Our services include custom framing, custom matting, canvas stretching and repairs.
Ask us anything...we're here to educate, indulge and bring as much beauty and art into your life as possible!
Remember, the framing process begins before you visit our stores: After you receive or finish your artwork, protect it from being exposed to the elements and get it framed right away. With that in mind, we present the most common answers to FAQ's, including:
How much does it cost to custom frame artworks?
Pricing varies depending on the sizes, materials, and how challenging it is to frame the art. The best thing to do is bring in your art and we can work within your budget.
Can you replace cracked or damaged glass in my picture frame?
Of course! Call or email with a size for a quote or just bring it in.
Does my artwork need a mat?
Matting provides both an aesthetic and protective function. It helps bring out the colors or tones of your image and also helps draw your eye from the frame to the image. Mats also prevent the glass from coming into contact with your artwork. This provides an air space to prevent damage due to condensation behind the glass. For other design options, we use mat spacers and acrylic spacers to separate artwork from glass and acrylic.
What about glass?
For maximum longevity, it is extremely important to display your art under some type of glazing, either glass or Plexiglas/acrylic. Glazing protects the art from harmful UV wave lengths which tend to fade art more quickly. It also protects the art from fingerprints, smoke, cooking fumes and other contaminants. At WFG Gallery, we provide a variety of glass or acrylic based on your needs and budget. And ask us how to clean the specific glazing that you choose!
Do you stretch canvas?
Yes, please call or email for a quote.
Do you offer discounts?
On occasion we may offer discounts, however our prices are ultra competitive, and we do our best to work with any budget.
How do I hang my new frame? Do you do installation or provide hardware?
We provide wires or mirror hooks on the back of the frames depending on the different styles of frames and the weight of the piece. Upon request, we also provide picture hangers and custom instructions on how to hang your artwork. We are also happy to provide a quote for installation fees.
What's the turnaround time for framing?
Our usual turnaround is 10-15 days depending on the type of frame selected.
Is rush order available?
Yes, please call or email us to inquire about different costs and options.
Do you have pickup / delivery service?
Yes, please call or email us to inquire about different costs and options.
How do I care for wood frames?
We recommend using a soft, lint free cloth that is free of dyes or chemicals. Slightly dampen the cloth with water and do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers. We do not recommend any type of conditioner, or chemical to be placed on the frame. Simply dusting the surface and cleaning it with a damp cloth should help keep your frame looking good for its expected life. Remember that most of our frames are made from wood and other natural materials, which can be affected by age, exposure to sun, heating, cooling and humidity.
Can I send digital images of photos I want framed?
Yes, you can email us digital files and we can get them printed for you on archival photo paper for framing. Please call or email us to inquire about different costs and options.

When you look at your sales funnel what do you see? Random groupings of customers and vaguely attached business processes? Blocks of prospects you're hoping to convert? You're not alone.
Many companies fall into the trap of using the metaphor of 'the funnel' to simply group customers and associated business actions. But what if your actions don't fit that stage? What if your prospects aren't responding to your sales and marketing efforts?
Understanding your prospect's intentions at each stage has numerous business benefits for you. Not only will you maximize conversion, you can also plan effectively, identifying where you need to assign extra resource to get the results you need.
Top of the Funnel Activity
While top-of-the-funnel (TOFU) marketing activity has traditionally been left to our B2C cousins, more and more B2B companies are taking on the challenge of attracting prospects using inbound marketing – content marketing, engagement marketing, blogs, SEO, social media, video.
This TOFU stage of the funnel is all about building awareness with your B2B buyer, identifying their needs (not your wants) and introducing your company as a trusted and recognized brand.
Middle of the Funnel Activity
B2B prospects themselves are becoming faster and more independent in their research. Up to 90% of the buying journey is complete before you even know who these prospects are… If your B2B prospects want interaction and engagement, but at the same time, are independently researching through over 90% of the buying process, how are you supposed to build a relationship with them and guide them to purchase?
To break into their research phase and begin building that valued human-to-human relationship, you need a lead nurturing campaign that unites your sales and marketing team. Nurture your leads with the right information and working collaboratively, both sales and marketing, to ensure you're driving your prospects in the right direction.
Bottom of the Funnel Activity
You've turbo-charged your way to the bottom of the funnel, and the end is in sight. Your prospects are qualified, but the question remains whether they are ready to convert to sale, or slip back into the funnel.
Turbo-charging your way to sales success is all about providing your prospects with the right offer and your sales team with the right information, to effectively speed up and close the sale.
Get each stage right, align these with your overall strategy and your business will reap the benefits.

Manufacturing of Sludge Dryer involves tight control of dimensions and alignment of supports for the rotor blades. A typical dryer needs about 400 precisely located supports. Conventional, manual fitting and welding methods could not give the desired accuracies and productivity.
A solution for this challenge was created by some out-of-box thinking. A serious look was given to the robots which were already available in the Technoforce shop. Special fixtures and control programs were developed, so that the robot could place the supports accurately on the rotor. The results were better than expected!
Several of our sludge dryers have been in operation for more than 15 years.
We have well equipped Pilot Test Centres in Nashik, India & Geleen, the Netherlands.
What sets Technoforce apart from the rest

Mr. Gephardt's Design for Monopolies
Published: May 8, 1991
Representative Richard Gephardt is sponsoring a pernicious bill that threatens to raise consumer costs each year by hundreds of millions, perhaps more. The proposed Design Protection Act of 1991 promises to safeguard product designs from unfair imitation, especially foreign. What it would really do is hand over monopoly rights to manufacturers of ordinary household items.
Want to buy cheap substitutes for brand name items at the local grocery store? Forget it: Mr. Gephardt's bill would make everyday items the sole property right of the original manufacturer, from the shape of the spout on laundry detergent packages to the shape of pencil erasers. Want to buy low-cost replacement bumpers for your General Motors car? Forget it: G.M. would gain sole right to sell many crash parts for its cars. Because of the extra money car owners would have to spend, insurance premiums might rise by $300 million a year.
Even though the present system isn't foolproof, product designs are already protected. Design patents protect novel innovations that are primarily ornamental rather than functional; because these claims must be verified, patents can take years to acquire. Copyrights, more easily acquired, protect artistic expression and apply only to designs that can be physically separated from the product itself. Case law fills some of the remaining void by making it illegal for manufacturers to confuse consumers by swiping a rival's design.
Incremental design changes that cannot be separated from a functional product are not completely protected: a bill restricted to ornamental features might deserve consideration. But Mr. Gephardt exaggerates the problem and offers a reckless solution. He would bestow, with a minimal threshold of creativity, a 10-year monopoly right on ordinary products. Yet proponents, despite repeated challenge by groups like Consumers Union, failed in hundreds of pages of Congressional testimony to produce evidence that ripoffs of new designs had hurt consumers.
Patent law is supposed to protect consumers by encouraging invention and not to protect corporate profit from challenge by competitors. Mr. Gephardt's bill imprudently expands property rights in an unbecoming effort to protect auto and heavy equipment manufacturers from foreign imports.

After a 74-year absence, Peru returned to the international
capital markets in February 2002 with a 10-year, $1.42 billion
bond. The historic issue signaled a break with the past for a
country that traditionally had relied on multilateral financing
to make up budget shortfalls.
Pedro-Pablo Kuczynski, Peru's finance minister at the time,
organized and executed the issue. Part new cash and part Brady
swap, the transaction allowed Peru to issue $500 million in new
bonds and exchange $1.21 billion of its outstanding Brady bonds
for a $930 million, new global bond. The issue gives Peru a
liquid benchmark bond and qualifies for inclusion in JP
Morgan's EMBI+ index, which tracks the emerging markets' most
liquid and tradable bonds. Investors met Peru's return to the
international capital markets with...

Ferrocement is one of the construction materials used to reduce both cross-section and eliminate coarse aggregates. In this experimental study the impact strength and strain energy of thin laminated mortar specimens were investigated. Five series of ferrocement sandwich panels with 400mmX400mmX50mm in dimensions were cast and subjected to drop impact loadings. The results of simply supported tested panels showed that using plastic instead of galvanized wire mesh increased the impact resistance of panels. Including a thin row of Styrophoam between the two mortar layers increased strain impact energy for failure load. Different crack patterns were recorded according to the type, number of wire mesh and percentage of Styrophoam content.
