That's what I've selected. But it results in #8 "Stripe: Not enough disks selected. (0 < 1 minimum)".
Can this mean that the hardware can't handle the ZFS format? On the other hand, it seems to be the same with UFS.The only thing I can think of is that I have to select something else in some menu. Why would it otherwise say " Not enough disks selected."?It obviously that it finds the Kingston harddrive (#7). Could it have something to do with the installed Ubuntu (it has created two partitions in BIOS)? On the other hand when the installation process starts it should erase that.
It seems that everything goes wrong with this notebook computer and that it may have been that I bought the wrong hardware. It's built for Windows 8.1, but that is my desktop as well, and that has no problems with ZFS and PC-BSD and probably not with TrueOS ether (haven't tried yet).
I'm also thinking that if the Radeon graphics would be the problem the installation would start at all as when I first tried PC-BSD 10.3 and 10.2, that didn't work at all and I got an early error.
I'm speculating a lot here. What do you guys think? Is there a solution?
are you planning on using the Kingston drive? If not, remove it.
If so, look at the trueos handbook https://www.trueos.org/handbook/install.html#advanced-mode figure 220.127.116.11. ZFS Layout to add it
The Kingston drive is the primary and only drive the notebook it has.
Looked into the handbook and a little further down in the section "188.8.131.52. ZFS Layout" I found this: "stripe: Requires a minimum of 2 disks", so "Stripe" seems not to be the right option.
But in #6 above there is only these options in the menu: "Stripe - No Redundancy" (pre-selected), "Mirror" and "RAID 1+0", "-Z1", "-Z2" and "-Z3".
I think the USB image should let you boot into a live/rescue mode; if so then perhaps partitioning the device manually can get us to where we want.The link that @RodMyers has is good, if you want a more low level using raw gpart commands, you can look at this:http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/ssd.html
With ZFS you only need to create a freebsd-boot partition, a freebsd-zfs partition and then a freebsd-swap partition. For the instructions at my link, where it says "gptboot" you want gptzfsboot, for freebsd-ufs you want freebsd-zfs.
I managed to install FreeBSD with UFS partition - Almost - BUT, Same thing happens now as when I try to install TrueOS. It just goes back to install mode after reboot and if I remove the USB-pin "insert a proper boot media".
So I checked in BIOS and the harddrive is gone again. So... FreeBSD won't run on this thing either.If I run the installation again (this time as ZFS) it sees the harddrive in the installation program, but it doesn't find it when it's time to install i.e. almost the same as in TrueOS but on an erlyer stage "Stripe: Not enough disks selected. (0 < 1 minimum)".
So what is left to do? Throw it out the window? Seems like this computer is garbage. Or re-insert the OEM HDD and run Windoze 8.1 on it? I don't think so.
Or is it something that has to do with the SSD as in the link @mer provided (haven't read it yet, just skimmed it)? But I have the same kind of SSD in my desktop and that works fine.Sure I could try with a mechanical HDD, but That would probably make the notebook very slow.
I think if you booted the USB, then in live/rescue mode did the partitioning steps in the link I provided, reboot and stop in the bios to see if the drive is visible, that may give us a clue. Of what I don't know, but it could be something. I don't recall if it was in the article I linked or another from google "freebsd install ssd", but there was something about sizes and alignments of boot partitions in specific manner because "windows". It could be that the BIOS in your laptop is expecting something like that (it saw the kingston when it was first installed, yes?), but the way FreeBSD/TrueOS partitions it the BIOS doesn't like.
Desktop vs laptop: the bios is different between them, so it is very likely that the same brand/model SSD could work in one, but not the other. When you are stopped in BIOS, look around for the SATA interface, make sure it's set to AHCI and not IDE. I've run across some old stuff that misbehaves if its not set to AHCI.
man, this is very weird.
put your favorite linux distro on it?
Short of tinkering with the BIOS settings individually,I have no more idea(s) at this point
Agreed. It feels like partitioning to me. I thought OP put a Linux distro on it that worked, but then overwriting with TrueOS/FreeBSD fails. That's why I'm thinking manually partitioning can give us (and the devs) a clue.
that, or tinker in the bios
I tried the commands in the link from @mer but i wrote "freebsd-zfs" instead of "freebsd-ufs" in the commands. I got all kind of responses like "already mounted" and other things but it seems like it didn't work. I don't remember it all responses, but now I wrote zeros over the drive and that made the drive show up again in BIOS.
What I probably would need is to try manual installation commands for TrueOS or FreeBSD-ZFS.Actually, I don't know any manual commands except those that I've written down that I got from @Kris and others earlier. I don't even know how to start a manual install. In this I'm a total novice.
About tinker in BIOS. It not much you can do in there. It's very small, not graphic (as on my desktop) and the most I find in there is "secure boot" and stuff like that meant for Windows 8.
that's all I have left to offer. way past my knowledge level now.
I'm with Rod, past my knowledge level. But the fact that you wrote zeros to the drive (I'm guessing just the first couple of meg?) and the drive shows up in the bios again leads towards partititoning somehow.
Here's something from last year, not sure if it is similar, but the solution talks about UEFI mode, GPT with a FAT32 partition.
That was interesting, but it seems it's more for Windows use.I have disabled secure boot and enabled CSM and that also disables fast boot.
The difference is that when secure boot is enabled, BIOS won't show the harddrive and when I start the computer without the USB-pin it goes strait into BIOS. With secure boot disabled it goes to black screen "insert proper boot media".
Right now the harddrive (SSD) is clinically clean after I ran "clean sweep" on it with this command:"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 bs=1m"
At least, now we know that the disappearance of the harddrive in BIOS probably has something to do with the formatting to ZFS and UFS, since as soon as I cleaned the disk it showed up again, and it shows up when I install Ubuntu that uses some other format.
So now I need some help what to do next, if there is a solution. Also, since I now know the likely cause of the problem, I will call Asus support again and ask what they think. But I have to wait until next week since it's now holiday here again.
Thanks for the "dd" command you're running. I'm guessing it's not really the formatting, but rather the partitioning of the device that the installer is doing.
Thank @Kris , I got the command from him some time ago
Also thanks for the suggestion:
I keep that in mind when I call Asus support next week.
Maybe some of the developers @grahamperrin , @jmaloney , @Kris or someone can clarify a little more what to do next no matter what they say at Asus. Because I'm afraid they just say "this is a Windows machine, and we don't support anything else". However, I'm also gonna call an independent computer workshop whom I know of, and they also works with Linux and BSD.
Or could it be that it doesn't work with the SSD? As OEM it has a mechanical HDD with pre-installed Windows 8.1, but I had the option when I bought it to get the HDD replaced for a SSD with the Windows 8.1 pre-installation on it. But I said no since I thought "why should I pay extra for them to clone the drive and then I erase it anyway?" (now I have the OEM HDD laying around, but I don't use it)But at least this tells us that the hardware should generally be compatible with a SSD.
I was just writing down some questions to ask Asus support. Then I got to think you said that it rather be the partitioning.I've run GPT partitioning all the way, and I don't remember if I ever have tried MBR (I might have, but I'm not sure). Could that affect things?
Some of the recent installers for FreeBSD are confusing:
– yeah, proceed with precedings or precede with proceedings
@Robiww:It may be worth it to walk throught the gpart steps in the article I linked, just as they are (which will do a MBR and UFS) and then reboot to see if the disk is still recognized in the bios. There are a couple of things mentioned relating to alignments and start of the data partition (words like ..."ever since windows vista, microsoft has started their data partitions at 1M") that ASUS may be counting on in the BIOS for the laptop. That kind of ties in with the dd zeroing out the first 1M and the disk showing up again.
@grahamperrin I tried that already (see post # 57) and it failed. So unless the zeroing of the harddrive makes some difference I guess the result will be the sameOr to use a quote from Einstein: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
I saw somewhere, by searching the web, that there may be some hidden settings in BIOS, or if it needs to be updated, or replaced. One thing about GPT or MBR is that GPT seems to need UEFI to work, and it use to be graphical, but the Asus's BIOS looks like a traditional BIOS although Asus says it's a UEFI.
Yeah, about zeroing the harddrive. As far as I know new harddrives are zeroed when you buy them, aren't they? So I guess the result will be the same as when I tried to install TrueOS when the drive was brand new. OK, I haven't tried to install FreeBSD on a clean drive yet, but can that really make a difference?
Anyway, now I'll wait until I've been talking to Asus support next week and heard what they have to say about this.
I tried that - didn't work.I also tried to install FreeBSD as UFS, but beside that the same thing happened again and the harddrive disappeared in BIOS, as far as I understand it won't work to install TrueOS on UFS.
Like I said, we'll see what Asus support says.

Several images of a Yamaha acoustic put together to create Guitar Face. Looks like a robot. What do you think?
hmm not bad artwork wise, but i would lose the black box around it unless u plan on going with a darker colour tee so no one will notice :P As fr the concept i was kinda lost. This would make sense if it was Guitar-Bot or something. But when i think of guitar face i think of an actual guitar that somehow has a face showing on it without any major additions :P does that make sense?
It might be just me but thts what i think.. As for the way it is now it kinda looks like u have a bunch of images overlapping each other and it kinda looks weird. not sure if thats what u were going for. Also lose the Yamaha type
please comment on mine http://www.threadless.com/critique/92969/Sad_Cloud
Iris Sky
I would lose the black background and continue with the robot idea - instead of cutting it off at the bottom of the head, maybe give it a body? Good start!
Please vote on mine! http://www.threadless.com/submission/379999/Hope_and_the_Universe
Yer as said above.... loose the black box and maybe continue the neck down to some kind of body. Also the joining of the segments either needs to be smoother.
Crit this - Political Pirate
this is a good start.. i agree with the previous comments, loose the black background and try to make it a whole guitar robot..
My design is up for scoring, if you have time, please comment and score: Evolutions of Birds
Thank you all for your input. I'll began to work on it straight away.
yes i think lose the black box.. i dont think you need to do a whole robot if the head was coming up from the bottom of the tee.
If you get a mo please vote for my submission..

SpoofNotes: Les Misérables
People love Les Misérables because of its emotional depth and variety of themes, but most have encountered some version of the narrative other than the original 950-page monster written by Victor Hugo. What gems does Hugo's text contain which adaptations have tossed aside? Fortunately, I've done the research for you; in the spirit of American culture – our value for the "original" anything and our short attention spans – I've read the first and last pages, and I'm ready to answer all your questions.

As reported by Censor.NET, Alasania posted his resignation statement and attached explanation via MediaPort website on his Facebook page Nov. 1.
Alasania explained his decision with disastrous lack of financing for the development of public broadcasting in Ukraine.
According to him, out of 1.2 billion hryvnia stipulated for the development of public broadcasting in 2017, the state takes away 450 million for the Eurovision contest, 250 million as payment for the broadcast, 149 million as expenses, and 46 million are given away to the city. Another 112 million are allocated for international activities, he wrote.
"The remaining is 193 million hryvnia [$7.41 million - ed.]. The government, are you serious? ...
"And after this, we say to the country and to the world that we are creating public broadcasting?" he wrote.
Alasania stressed that public broadcasting in Ukraine is very important and said he was certain the process of its creation would continue. He hopes his resignation will draw attention to the budgeting issues with the Eurovision and public broadcasting in Ukraine.

The Second Half Hardback
by Roy Keane, Roddy Doyle
Memoir by one of the greatest of modern footballers, and former captain of Manchester United and Ireland, Roy Keane - co-written in a unique collaboration with Man Booker Prize-winner Roddy Doyle.In an eighteen-year playing career for Cobh Ramblers, Nottingham Forest (under Brian Clough), Manchester United (under Sir Alex Ferguson) and Celtic, Roy Keane dominated every midfield he led to glory.
Aggressive and highly competitive, his attitude helped him to excel as captain of Manchester United from 1997 until his departure in 2005.
Playing at an international level for nearly all his career, he represented the Republic of Ireland for over fourteen years, mainly as team captain, until an incident with national coach Mick McCarthy resulted in Keane's walk-out from the 2002 World Cup.
Since retiring as a player, Keane has managed Sunderland and Ipswich and has become a highly respected television pundit.As part of a tiny elite of football players, Roy Keane has had a life like no other.
His status as one of football's greatest stars is undisputed, but what of the challenges beyond the pitch?
How did he succeed in coming to terms with life as a former Manchester United and Ireland leader and champion, reinventing himself as a manager and then a broadcaster, and cope with the psychological struggles this entailed?
In a stunning collaboration with Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle, THE SECOND HALF blends anecdote and reflection in Roy Keane's inimitable voice.
The result is an unforgettable personal odyssey which fearlessly challenges the meaning of success.

Web Next is not some quantum leap in reality but rather the culmination of several long term trends. Web 1.0 was the translation of real world services (e.g. Amazon) onto the Internet and Web 2.0 is Darwinian evolution of UI and social media tools and technologies. Web Next is exploiting of information to achieve new products and services with no direct analog in the real world. Some will call this Web 3.0 but I prefer the simpler moniker Web Next.
Web Next is about the creation of value not through the control of information but via the creation of synergies and knowledge through combining information and functionality. There already exists the primitive examples in the Web2 world, those such as the map-based mash-ups. Essentially value is derived via the showing a spatial relationship between data. However, these mash-ups are relatively primitive. They rely on a users existing knowledge of the spatial area in question. I personally have no appreciation of the real layout of New York City having never been there. Consequently, the value I gain from viewing or using a mash-up consisting of crime statistics plotted on a map of NYC is less than someone who has visited which will be less than a resident of NYC.
The synergy of information and functionality is created through Data Ecosystems.
Data Ecosystems
A Data Ecosystem is two or more different data sets that when combined with complementary functionality produce multiplicative effect in usefulness. Or put another way, a Data Ecosystem contains more than one source of data (a data set) (e.g. temperatures and rainfall) that can be combined, analysed and processed with the overall Data Ecosystem being more valuable than data or functionality on its own. Importantly, having more than one data set is not sufficient on its own. Rather you need various tools and functions that allow the user to act on the data. An example will help to clarify.
Take an individual piece of data, say a series of temperatures measurements. On its own you can't do much with those temperature measurements but combined with rainfall measures, annual growth rates and a map, those temperature measurements suddenly have a lot of value. Now a farmer can research and plan when to plant his crops or adjust his crop forecasts based on historical growth rates versus temperature and rainfall. To be able to make the forecast of crop tonnage the farmer needs a series of tools that allow him to find correlation factors and extrapolate the growth trends based on rainfall and temperatures. Without those functions having the data is not particularly useful. There is no use in having gobs and gobs of data if there is poor functionality in the Data Ecosystem.
Data Ecosystems highlight a very interesting point about data. One that I find is continually ignored or not understood by most data companies (including web companies). Data on its own has little intrinsic value. Data only has value with what you can do with it and what you can do with it is determined by what other data you have along with the functionality you can apply to the data.
Like a biological ecosystem, a data ecosystem must mesh together. A Data Ecosystem needs to be internally consistent. If a Data Ecosystem is not consistent then it will not generate value for the user. There is no point in trying to create a Data Ecosystem that has rainfall patterns from Australia and crime statistics in New York City. Designers of Data Ecosystems must not design the systems so they become inconsistent. Consistency is crucial. But given human nature I fully expect consistency will be ignored.
"And there's the sign, Ridcully," said the Dean. "You have read it, I assume. You know? The sign which says 'Do not, under any circumstances, open this door'?"
"Of course I've read it," said Ridcully. "Why d'yer think I want it opened?"
"Er...why?" said the Lecturer in Recent Runes.
"To see why they wanted it shut, of course."
-Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
At this point I expect some readers will be thinking that Data Ecosystems is simply the Semantic Web. Data Ecosystems is not the Semantic Web. Semantic Web technologies will be a part of Data Ecosystems, but Semantic Web is neither a precondition for nor sufficient on its own in order to build Data Ecosystems. Semantic Web helps by automating building the relationships between bits of information. In the temperature example above Semantic Web would have provide information such as the lat/long of the measurements, how it was measured, the accuracy of the measurement, the date and times of the measurement etc. This would then allow a computer to match the data automatically with rainfall data from the same location and time and plot together on a map. Semantic Web makes building Data Ecosystems easier and like objects in programming will allow Data Ecosystem platforms to increase the ease the deployment of Data Ecosystems.
Data Ecosystems can also be built of other Data Ecosystems. The output of several Data Ecosystems can be used as the sources for another Data Ecosystem and so on. Each step creating more value by allowing an individual to achieve more. Data Ecosystems will in effect create an L-space
Why are Data Ecosystems Important?
Data Ecosystems are important for one very, very crucial reason. Data Ecosystems allow people to achieve things effectively. Unlike Web 1.0 which was essentially removing transaction costs from existing real-world processes, Data Ecosystems unlock the potential for new services that are impossible in the real world.
Consider a Data Ecosystem based travel service. Such a service will allow you to research a holiday; book all transport, accommodation and activities; create a comprehensive itinerary of the holiday, send alerts at key points along the trip; calculate how much money you'll spend on the holiday; help you automatically tag video, audio and photos from the holiday and create holiday memorabilia from the items you have uploaded. All through a single Data Ecosystem.
And there are hundreds, thousands, millions of probable Data Ecosystems that have no analog in today's web.
How Things are Already Changing
To close out I want to consider something that has been banging its way around the blog-sphere and offline world: the fate of journalism. Without re-hashing the debate you can read Bill Keller's speech with Jeff Jarvis's responses here and here as background.
If everyone is a citizen journalist, then what is the point of professional journalist? A seemingly valid question but one that has the implicit assumption that both are or will be doing the same process. From the perspective of Data Ecosystems the job of a professional journalist becomes very different from a citizen journalist. The citizen journalist is a source of data. They will most likely only provide a very narrow bit of data on any particular story. Put another way, the citizen journalist becomes a source like the news wires.
The professional journalist moves on from being the source of the story to gathering all the disparate bits of information about a story and then assembling into a consistent and cohesive context around the core story. Professional journalists go form being the gate keepers to information to value builders by creating context to stories. The role of a newspaper/media company is to provide or create a Data Ecosystem within which the professional journalist can assemble, create and publish the context to stories. Within Data Ecosystems, professional journalists, news agencies and citizen journalists will co-exist and combine to produce a more valuable service than either would on their own or exists today.
The media world is already going through pain as it is forced to adjust to the realities of an information economy. Data Ecosystems provide a means to effectively adapt to the information economy. But Data Ecosystems are not limited to media. Data Ecosystems will exist right across the information world. In fact they will reach into material world as L-space is linked into materials at the molecular level. This is the true revolution of Data Ecosystems, they facilitate the merger of L-space and Real Space.

5 Lessons Learned: Doctors
What To Consider When Selecting A Dermatologist Dermatology has increased its popularity due to the people having more skin issues than before because of the changing environment. It could be tough to find a good dermatologist nowadays. There are quite a number of doctors who would say that they are experts in dermatology. You can select the right dermatologist by being aware of the important attributes they should have. The dermatologist you select should always have the right qualifications and also have the proper experience. You might not get what you expect from an inexperienced dermatologist. With the right experience in a specific field, the dermatologist will be able to fix your issue. A dermatologist that can be found online will have all the information available for you to do your research on them. You can also read up about client reviews regarding your doctor's work. Take these tips into consideration when choosing a dermatologist:
5 Uses For Experts
The Internet is a good place to look at when searching for the right dermatologist. By not leaving your house, you can go online and search for good dermatologists that can already be found online.
Getting Down To Basics with Professionals
Check out the classifieds in the newspaper in order to find a dermatologist. You can still use the newspaper for this purpose. Newspapers are still read by millions of people and so advertisements by doctors can still be found there. Skin care specialists can be found in the newspapers and you can take your pick. Friends and family can provide helpful input. You can hear exactly what your friends and family think about a specific dermatologist and know what to expect. You can then come up with a list of dermatologists that you are interested in. You can evaluate each dermatologist in your list of potentials. Age and experience is not the only determining factor of choosing the best dermatologist. Comparative studies can be helpful when doing evaluations. A shortlist of dermatologists will be a helpful tool in order to do your comparative studies and eventually find a solution to your problems. Knowing what you need is important. It is important to also know which dermatologists that fix your issues and get you the results you want without causing damage to your skin. The qualifications of your doctor are very important factors to consider. Even though a doctor will claim to be a dermatologist, this might not be true at all. The time frame for a person to be a dermatologist will be 13 years. As they work in their field, the more they will excel in it. If a dermatologist is certified, there would be more chances that they can handle certain skin problems and provide you with better solutions.

More mystery surrounding death of Murphy's widow
Investigators found the eerie message, left on the day Monjack died, in his voicemail on his phone. In it, he says, "I need to go to the hospital. I have a fever."
Later on in the recording, obtained by TMZ.com, Murphys' mother Sharon can be heard saying, "Tell them you have a fever." It's unclear who 'them' is.
The cause of Monjack's death has yet to be determined.
Last week (ends25Jun10), Monjack's mother accused Sharon of ignoring her pleas to call a doctor in the hours before the filmmaker's death.
Sharon Murphy found the director unconscious at the Hollywood Hills home he once shared with his late wife. Paramedics determined he had suffered a cardiac arrest and pronounced him dead at the scene.
Monjack's mother Linda claims she pleaded with his ex-mother-in-law to get Monjack medical help because she was so concerned about him on the night before he passed away.
She told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "I'd pleaded with Sharon over and over during those last hours to get medical help, to get him to a hospital, but she didn't… I'd call and he wasn't even able to respond. It was at this point that I demanded to speak to Sharon, and I told her, 'Please, please call the doctor. Get him to hospital. Please just get him some help'. She told me that she'd 'been through this before' and that Simon was over the worse."
Sharon Murphy's publicist, Roger Neal, has slammed Monjack's accusations, insisting she did everything she could to help the filmmaker.

text: Recently Arizona was trying to pass an immigration law to search all "mexican looking people" whenever an officer was in doubt that they are legally here. The government sued Arizona and is trying to shut down this law from taking affect. For some of you that don't know, Arizona is at war with the drug cartel. They are drenched with illegals, over 400,000 of them. Children are dying, people are getting murdered, raped, and robbed, all because of a plant that life created, and many of us have abused. Since the Arizona receives not protection or help from the government, should it pack up its bags and secede from the Union? Arizona has been at war with the cartel, and now its going to be in a legal "war" against the feds for the right to protect its own borders Edit: I guess Arizona is right the border.

Mmm, imagine a frosty treat on a steamy summer day. Ice cream isn't what you crave, and beer isn't your style. Two best friends from Queens created a wine sorbet while brainstorming ideas for the restaurant they were going to open. Pretty soon they refocused their business plan and instead of opening a bistro, they brought us wine sorbet.
This is not an indulgence for kids. Wine Cellar Sorbets contain 5% alcohol. For those with sophisticated tastes, sorbets come in six flavors: Sangria Rojo, Riesling, Champagne, Pino Noir, Rose, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Right now the product is only sold in New York, New Jersey and Florida. But ordering online is a cinch, and they'll ship anywhere within the US. And even better, shipping and handling is included in the price.

On Free Markets and Morals: "The distinguishing feature of the market mechanism is that it is amoral: one person's dollar is worth exactly the same as another person's, irrespective of how she came to possess it. That is what makes markets so efficient: participants need not worry about moral considerations. In an efficient market, individual decisions affect market prices only marginally: if one person abstained from participating as either buyer or seller, someone else would take her place with only a marginal difference in the price. Therefore individual market participants bear little responsibility for the outcome. But markets are suitable only for individual choices, not for social decisions..."
On Government Interference: "[T]he main policy implication of market fundamentalism, that government interference in the economy should be kept to a minimum, is not as unsound as the arguments employed to justify it. The market mechanism may be flawed but the political process is even more so. Participants in the political process are even more fallible than market participants because politics revolve around social values whereas markets take the participants' values as given. As we have seen, social values are highly susceptible to manipulation. Moreover, politics are poisoned by the agency problem [Agents are supposed to represent the interests of their principals, but in fact, they tend to put their own interests ahead of the interests of those whom they are supposed to represent]. To guard against the agency problem, all kinds of safeguards have to be introduced and this makes the behavior of governmental authorities in the economic sphere much more rigid and bureaucratic than the behavior of private participants. On all these grounds, it makes sense to argue that governmental interference in the economy should be kept to a minimum. So market fundamentalism has merely substituted an invalid argument for what could have been a much stronger one. It could have argued that all human constructs are imperfect and social choices involve choosing the lesser evil, and on those grounds government intervention in the economy should be kept to a minimum. That would have been a reasonable position. Instead, it claimed that the failures of government intervention proved that free markets are perfect. That is simply bad logic."
Thank you, Mr. Soros. This lecture was amazing.
Update on 6/3/12: from Sebastian Mallaby's 2010 book, More Money than God:
"By now Soros had melded Karl Popper's ideas with his own knowledge of finance, arriving at a synthesis that he called 'reflexivity.' As Popper's writings suggested, the details of a listed company were too complex for the human mind to understand, so investors relied on guesses and shortcuts that approximated reality. But Soros was also conscious that those shortcuts had the power to change reality as well, since bullish guesses would drive a stock price up, allowing the company to raise capital cheaply and boosting its performance. Because of this feedback loop, certainty was doubly elusive: To begin with, people are incapable of perceiving reality clearly; but on top of that, reality itself is affected by these unclear perceptions, which themselves shift constantly. Soros had arrived at a conclusion that was at odds with the efficient-market view...To a disciple of Popper, this [EFM] premise ignored the most elementary limits to cognition." (pp. 85, hardcover edition)

Increasing international focus on SPOT – big players are attracted to the festival
SPOT is ready for take-off, and the next three days Aarhus will be the center of the international music business. More than 250 shows, and the biggest seminar programme to date. 300 international media and business people – ready to hook up with their more than thousand Danish collegues.
After many years of hard work, it has become easier and easier for SPOT to get bigger and bigger players (record labels, publishing companies, etc.) from both the British and the American markets to play ball. Commercial success for Lukas Graham, Volbeat, Mø etc. as well as niche breakthroughs and deals for Iceage (punk rock), Communions (indie), Liss (pop/r'n'b) have also played an important role in this transformation of Denmark into an attractive music market.
In addition to the traditional visits from international agents from William Morris (US/UK) and Primary Talent (UK) and A&Rs from prestigious record companies such as Downtown Records (US), Terrible Records (US), Secretly Canadian (US), and PMR Records (UK), it is also the ambition this year to attract music lawyers such as David Jacobs from Grubman, Shire & Meiselas, who has worked with Mø since the beginning of her international career, PR agents from Bang On PR (UK), Your Army (UK), Kartel (UK), and Kobalt Music Group, London promoters like Bird On The Wire (UK), Adam Ryan, who is in charge of booking at the UK's most important music industry festival The Great Escape (UK), and label specialists like Zena White from The Other Hand (UK), as the Danish music business is stronger than ever, and many of today's players have the option to release and promote Danish acts abroad without necessarily having to hand over their rights to a label situated abroad.
"What is more we have had access to more resources for our UK PR work, and this year at SPOT we have ten UK journalists from influential media like The Independent, Crack Magazine, The Guardian, Wonderland Magazine, and The 405.", says MXD's London representative Lisa Marxen, about the extensive invitational work in the UK, that lies ahead of SPOT.
In addition: again this year, SPOT benefits from a large group of delegates from Germany – by far the biggest delegation from one country. Major booking agencies, FKP Scorpio, Selective Artists, and Neuland. Several influential labels, like Grönland, Domino, Universal Music and hfn music. And important media: Intro, Backspin, MusikExpress, Kulturnews, 1Live and Radio Eins.
Furthermore SPOT will also be visited by major Festival events like Eurosonic (NL), Rock For People Festival (CZ), Reeperbahn Festival (DE) and SZIGET Festival (HU).
Not only does a lot of international business delegates participate in SPOT, many also contribute to the conference program at SPOT+. With a comprehensive 2-day conference program, SPOT+ 2017 emphasises on some of the current trends within the international music business, focusing on music & brands, sync, modern artist management, music cities, digital, streaming & the latest "talk of town", blockchain.
Among others you can meet: Antti Kosonen (Co-Founder & COO, PME), Babak Azami (founder & Manager, RMH Sweden), Benji Rogers (CEO & Co-founder, dotBlockChainMusic), Chris Cooke (MD & Business Editor, CMU Insights) Arnon Woolfson (Head of Entertainment, Synergy Agency), Jordan Passman (CEO & Founder, scoreAscore), Josh Rabinowitz (Executive Vice President & Director of Music, Townhouse), Linn Fijal (Producer & engineer, Riksmixningsverket), Tess Taylor (President, NARIP), and not least Thomas Golubic (Music Supervisor, SuperMusicVision – talking about "How to Breaking Bad".
We're looking forward to meeting all of you

Cut Foot Sioux Lake - The Top Walleye Fishing Lake
Cut Foot Sioux is a 2,768-acre lake that is connected to Lake Winnibigoshish at it's southwest side. The many bays of Cut Foot Sioux Lake provide great protection on windy days and great structure for catching many species of fish. While walleye is the primary fish being sought here, the lake is also known for its jumbo perch, northern pike, crappie and muskie populations.
The best times to fish for walleye are from May thru the first week in July and then again from mid-August until freeze up. Northern fishing is best from July through October. The jumbo perch bite well here all year and are particularly active during ice fishing season. Numerous large muskies prowl the depths of the lake. There are also crappie, bass, perch, sunfish and bluegill found here. Cut Foot Sioux lake has a maximum depth of 78 feet and an average water clarity of 9 feet.

Will the last Beverley daughter marry for Mannerling?
Lizzie is the sixth and youngest daughter of the late Sir Beverley, the patriarch who gambled away their beloved estate, Mannerling. Each of Lizzie's sisters had been entrusted by their ambitious mother to cast lures for the various owners of their former home. Instead, each one married for love.
Now it's Lizzie's turn to save Mannerling. But the new owner, the Duke of Severnshire, is far too arrogant for Lizzie's heart. And while the duke has no intentions toward the saucy chit, her curt dismissal of him is perplexing - no woman has ever refused him. Now, as his lavish house party to select a bride becomes a whirlwind of mismatches and scandal, lovely Lizzie is turning the duke's thoughts away from a suitable marriage - to the wonders of falling in love.

An acute shortage of cement, and heavy rains during December, has delayed the completion of Phase One of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport's expansion plan.
The project was initially set to be to be completed by the end of last month, but heavy demand for cement in the domestic and export markets slowed down progress, causing a three- month delay, according to Kenya Airports Authority managing director George Muhoho.
Demand for cement has been rising due to what industry players attribute to a construction boom, especially in the housing and road sectors.
Contractors at Kenya's key airport are only using Bamburi Cement, which they say is the only brand that meets purity levels and quality demands of airport construction.
Mr Muhoho said the project consumes an average of 240 tonnes of cement per day, but was receiving deliveries at the rate of only 150 tonnes per day.
To accommodate the weight of the planes that are expected to park at the new apron, contractors are using concrete that will require low maintenance costs, but demand alot of cement during construction.
Construction of aprons is part of the programme, along with the building of a new taxiway that will cater for the new Terminal Four.
Mr Muhoho said heavy rains in December had hampered construction work by making it hard to excavate the black cotton soil that is found in the area.
China Wu Yi Co Limited, an international Chinese construction firm, won the contract for Phase One of the project at a cost of Sh2.6 billion. "Regardless of all the issues of completion of this phase of the project, we are still on budget," Mr Muhoho said.
Built in 1978, JKIA has been unable to meet demands of a growing aviation market, especially in the past six years.
Built to handle 2.5 million passengers per annum, the facility is currently handling more than four million passengers annually.
Airlines have also had to deal with lack of enough parking slots as there are only 11 available for international and nine for domestic airlines.
Increased air capacity has led to demand for more slots, which will be addressed by the end of Phase One.
Additionally, the airport was faced with security issues. To address these issues, KAA embarked on a project to upgrade the facility to be a regional hub that would see it attain United States of America's Category One status - a move that will open up direct flights to the US.
Initially, the plan was to solve the capacity problem by moving all domestic flights to old Embakasi Airport and converting JKIA's Terminal Three, which currently handles domestic flights, into an international terminal, at a cost of Sh840 million.
But this was later expanded into a massive overhaul project to be undertaken in four phases, spanning over a period of 15 years. This latter plan increased the cost of the project 10 fold to Sh10.7 billion.
The move raised eyebrows, with critics arguing that the tendering process did not meet the Public Procurement Act requirements, that bind all State corporatons and government departments.
MPs claimed the contracts of the project were void since they were signed by Mr Muhoho, whose tenure of office was officially gazetted last month,despite having been in office since March 2003.
It was, however, confirmed that Mr Muhoho's appointment to the position was formally gazetted in March 2003. Construction began in October 2006 and the contracted firm has invested Sh700 million. Published under Cement News

From skiing over Norwegian glaciers to dogsledding in Canadian backwoods, Berit Schurke '16 (Ely, Minn.) knows how to make the most of snowy winter days. She's accompanied her father, renowned polar and Arctic guide Paul Schurke, on numerous expeditions, led ski and dogsledding trips herself, and studied for a year in Norway, where she learned Norwegian and strengthened her love for winter.
An avid adventurer, Schurke is always eager to try new things. "After studying abroad and experiencing a different culture, I'm open to whatever, whenever, whoever," she says.
On skiing: "I've been on skis since I turned two. I think I'm probably happiest when I'm surrounded by nothing but sun and snow. In Norway, I would ski for hours in the mountains, and I hope the Arb will be like a mini-Norway."
On dogsledders: "There are no typical dogsledders. People come from all sorts of backgrounds, and I really enjoy hearing about their lives."
On living in Norway: "I was impressed by Norwegians' relative lack of materialism, and I became more concerned about environmental conservation. Also, their multi-cultural society opened my eyes to a different world."
On beating the cold: "If you can have fun outside, you'll find that winter is just as beautiful as any other time of year. Hot chocolate is a staple. That and mittens—always, always have mittens."

Notch Puts Minecraft Follow-Up On Hold
Markus Persson, the visionary developer behind one of the most popular independent games of all time Minecraft, has stopped working on his newest creation 0x10c.
This newest game, a space game Persson describes as being "about actually being in character in space rather than playing as a space ship like you do in most space games." The game had a lot of reported exciting features, like an in-game computer that could infect other players with viruses and could be programmed. Understandably due to Minecraft's insane success (Mojang reported £57m profit in 2012), there has been a lot of interest in the independent community about this game.
Notch cites the pressure of the community in his blog post addressing the subject, but he doesn't blame their interest. Instead, he says "It was quite ambition, but I was fairly sure I could pull it off. And besides, if I failed, so what?...What I hadn't considered was that a lot more people cared about my games now."
For Perrson it seems that a great deal of the fun was taken out of the project by having to manage the expectations of others. The joy of developing was greater when he was working on a small project no one knew anything about.
While the news will be disappointing to some excited fans, there is a community crafted version of 0x10c called Project Trillek you can read more about that here.
And gaming hasn't lost anything. Persson isn't giving up the torch. In closing, he writes; "I want to do smaller games that can fail. I want to experiment and develop and think and tinker and tweak. So that's what I'm going to do."
You can read more about Notch's announcement in its entirety here.
