How to Apply a Window Film {aka How to Not Flash Your Neighbors}
When we were remodeling our master bathroom, I wanted to do a window treatment that would allow us to take advantage of the natural light while not giving the neighbors a show. We decided to try a privacy film on the window, which gives the glass a frosted appearance so light comes in but creepy peepers stay out.
Surprisingly (or at least I was surprised), it worked great! My husband and I each took turns walking behind our house at night to see if anything was visible through the window. Other than being able to tell that someone was in the room (in the form of a fuzzy silhouette), you couldn't see a thing!
While I would recommend having a second set of hands to help with the application, the whole process is really quite easy. We used the Gila Privacy Control Window Film in a Simulated Etched Glass finish, but there are multiple brands and finishes to choose from.
Start by cleaning the window thoroughly, making sure to get into the corners.
Measure the size of your window and cut the film, adding an extra inch to each side. If your window is like ours, you'll need to measure the top and bottom and cut two separate pieces of film.
Using two small pieces of tape (one on each side of film), identify the clear liner. Your window film kit should come with a spray solution: use it to generously wet the window. Get someone to hold the film and, as you pull off the clear liner, spray the newly exposed side of the film. Apply the wet film, adhesive side down, to the window.
Smooth the film with your hands, and spray the side of the film facing you with the solution. Squeegee the center of the film from top to bottom. Go back to the top of the window and squeegee from the center to the right, working downward. Do the entire right side of the window and then repeat on the left side.
Use the edging tool and a utility knife to press down the edges and trim off the excess film on all four sides.
Spray the film again with the solution and squeegee dry, again working from the top to the right and downward. Repeat on the left side. This is the point that you want to make sure you're getting out any air bubbles behind the film. Also, use the edging tool to really push the film down in the corners.
If your window is split (like ours), repeat the entire process on the other half.
Aaaannnnndd. . . you're done!

|Applies To:
|We often got customers asking if they can have two IO servers on one serial ports, to which we say NO. Then they ask if they can use a serial switching box that provides two ports to the IO servers which the Standby server's checking to the communication line diabled until it detects a fail in the main IO server. Sounds feasible, can we do it?
|Yes, you can do the two I/O servers with a
switch to change over. You need some cicode to disable/enable the
I/O devices at the same time you switch the switch. To switch the
I/O ports you will need another PLC which both I/O servers can
communicate all the time. That way both I/O servers can check the
state of the switch to disable/enable the states of the I/O
Devices. Also you have to switch the switch if one of the I/O
servers is shutdown. So you need some type of heart beat from the
I/O servers to the controlling PLC.
This is exactly how it was done for one Citect project. They could only have 1 serial port to each PLC as the PLC were a very long distance away and they did not want to run another serial cable. After they completed the project and had written and debugged the cicode they decided it was a bad engineering solution. The reasons why, was that it was too complicated and basically a unreliable solution just to save the cost of installing an extra cable. The solution is bad as you don't really have full redundancy and you don't have bump-less transfer. As you can imagine every time you shutdown one of the I/O servers the serial switch must change over and the other I/O server must re-establish communications. This takes time and you get #COM for a short period of time.
So the answer is you can do this, but don't do it to save money. You will end up spending a lot of time engineering the software, commission the system and even then this solution is quite poor. Only do this if the I/O device can only have 1 serial port.

Axelsson out 6-10 weeks
P.J. Axelsson has a broken bone in his hand and will miss the next 6-10 weeks. Therefore, he is done for the season unless the Bruins make the playoffs. There have been rumors that it was his wrist, and not his hand, but Rob Simpson of NESN stated it was his hand many times during the game. This is a good thing for the Bruins' first line, but it will hurt the team on the PK. Although the Bruins record is better with Axelsson out of the lineup, the absence of both Murray and Axelsson will hurt this team.

2005-11-02 - As was widely reported, finnish metal superstars NIGHTWISH dismisses their lead singer Tarja Turunen after the last show of their monumental »Once« world tour in Helsinki.

The band handed their singer an open letter, which reads as follows:

Dear Tarja,

"It's time to choose whether the story of NIGHTWISH ends here or whether it will still continue an undetermined period of time. We've been working with this creation for 9 years and we are not ready to give up yet. NIGHTWISH is a way of life, something to live for, and we're certain we can't let it go.

"Equally certain is the fact that we cannot go on with you and Marcelo any longer. During the last year something sad happened, which I've been going over in my head every single day, morning and night. Your attitude and behavior don't go with NIGHTWISH anymore. There are characteristics I would never have believed to see in my old dear friend. People who don't talk with each other for a year do not belong in the same band.

"We are involved in an industry where the business side of things is a necessary evil and something to worry about all the time. We are also a band which has always done music from the heart, because of friendship and the music itself. The mental satisfaction should always be more important than money! Nightwish is a band, it's an emotion.

"To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much more important. You feel that you have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for NIGHTWISH, rather than thinking what it has given to you. This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things you said to me in an airplane in Toronto: 'I don't need NIGHTWISH anymore,' and 'Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving you only one day's warning in advance.

"I can't simply write any more songs for you to sing.

"You have said yourself that you are merely a 'guest musician' in NIGHTWISH. Now that visit ends and we will continue NIGHTWISH with a new female vocalist. We're sure this is an equally big relief to you as it is for us. We have all been feeling bad long enough.

"You told us that no matter what, the next NIGHTWISH album will be your last one. However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the fire burns. So there's no sense in doing that next album with you, either.
" The four of us have been going over this situation countless times and we have realized that this is the thing we want to do in life. It's all we can do. In December 2004, in Germany, you said that you will never tour again for more than two weeks at a time. You also said that we can forget about U.S. and Australia because the fees and the sizes of venues are too small.

"In interviews I've mentioned that if Tarja leaves, that would be the end of the band. I understand that people will think this way. NIGHTWISH is, however, a scenery of my soul and I'm not ready to let go because of one person. A person who wants to focus her creativity to somewhere else, a person whose values don't match mine.

"We were never bothered by the fact that you didn't participate in writing/arranging songs, you never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour you always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that you are an undisputable front image of the band. We accepted and felt OK about everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It was agreed by the five of us that NIGHTWISH would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were more important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out show in Oslo, which you wanted to cancel because you needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn't think of a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans.

"NIGHTWISH is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and to the fans. With you we can't take care of those duties anymore.

"Deep within we don't know which one of you drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed you from the lovely girl you were into a diva, who doesn't think or act the way she used to. You are too sure of your irreplaceableness and status.

"It's obvious that you blame your stress and misery on us four. And you think we don't respect or listen to you. Believe us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards you as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend. And very often during the past couple of years the plans were made according to your decisions only. You were always the only one who wanted more money from the shows.

"This 'compensation and more money from everything' attitude is the fact that we are most disappointed of!

"We wish that from now on you will listen to your heart instead of Marcelo. Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and love is a dangerous combination. Do not wither yourself.

"This decision is not something we are especially proud of but you gave us no choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made by us four unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled by talking.

"All the best for your life and career, Tuomas."

NIGHTWISH recorded the final show of their "Once" world tour — on Friday (Oct. 21) at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki — for an upcoming CD/DVD, entitled "End of an Era". "As you can imagine, the atmosphere in the arena was wild but also quite blue," the band write on their website. "This was the ending for a one and a half year lasting 'Once' world Tour. NIGHTWISH wishes to thank everybody for an unbelievable tour. Unfortunately, the title 'End of an Era' also holds a deeper meaning."

Football: Messi free-kick magic sends Barca into Cup quarters
BARCELONA: Lionel Messi's third goal from a free-kick in as many games this year secured Barcelona's place in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey as the holders beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 to edge through 4-3 on aggregate.
Luis Suarez's 100th Barca goal and Neymar's penalty cancelled out Athletic's 2-1 first leg lead, but Enric Saborit's header six minutes into the second-half had the tie headed for extra time.
However, just as in the first leg and in a 1-1 draw at Villarreal on Sunday, Messi rode to Barca's rescue with another exquisite free-kick that clipped the inside of the post on its way past Gorka Iraizoz.
The build-up to the game had been dominated by talk of controversial refereeing calls in the first leg as Athletic ended the game with nine men, whilst Barca had a stonewall penalty claim waived away.
And there was more controversy on 26 minutes when Neymar was wrongly flagged offside as he set up Suarez for a tap in.
However, the same combination wasn't to be denied 10 minutes before half-time when Neymar's cross was hammered into the far corner by Suarez to bring up his Barca century.
Suarez's strike was also the 300th goal scored by Barca's fearsome "MSN" forward line since he joined the club in 2014 with Messi netting 124 and Neymar 76.

Welcome to another week of Manic Movie Magic, where we talk about horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and (as of late) comic movies. Last week provided us with some interesting news from the Sony-Marvel tug of war that is the ownership of Spider-Man. A truce was finally struck between the two, where the iconic web slinger can appear in the highly beloved and blockbuster destroying Marvel movies. But this is a good thing, or is Spider-Man not the miracle catch we think he is?
A lot of it comes down to what version of Spider-Man we're going to be getting. Many people are done with the Peter Parker incarnation of the character, mostly because Peter's arc is just not that interesting. Sure, there have been some interesting plot twists with the character, like making a deal with Mephisto (Marvel's version of the Devil), dealing with clones of himself, gaining and losing allies left and right, but in the end there's very little to Peter himself.
He's a teenaged nerd who gets bitten when a mutated spider crawls down, and then Peter crawls over everyone's walls and he's swinging all over town (thank you, Weird Al), beating up bad guys left and right because it's the right thing to do. It's all one giant metaphor for adolescence and the eventual maturation into adulthood, which is the big problem. That process has a finite end, and so once he plays out that growth, something has to give, and so the cycle starts all over again.
What I am trying to say is that Peter doesn't really change very much. He follows his journey to growing up, protect his loved ones from his secret identity and trying to just make it through one more day as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man until he finally reaches adulthood. Do they really want to tell that same story for a third time? Even if it is just for one movie, they'll have to give him some sort of story to explain why he's there and what his story currently is, which will just the same crap where he's hiding his secret identity from Aunt May and being smart-ass but insecure teenager.
If they decide to not bring Andrew Garfield along for the ride (which is very unlikely), Miles Morales would make for the most interesting Spider-Man. Picking up the mantle of the Spider-Man as a reluctant hero, helping the police who are known to target teens like him, actually having more black superheroes than just Falcon are just a few reasons why it would work well. But while Marvel hasn't been afraid to get a bit political, Sony doesn't seem apt to try and imbue the new web-slinger with any issues as complicated as police brutality against people of color. So, yes, most likely we will be getting Peter Parker…or if they want to throw a real wrench in it, one of his clones. That'll piss the die-hard fans off.
The bigger problem is that this isn't a total victory for Marvel. Sony still holds the rights to the character and have only really decided to play ball because The Amazing Spider-Man 2 performed abysmally, not helped by how terrible The Amazing Spider-Man was to begin with. This also means that Sony dictates when and where Spider-Man gets to be used in the MCU. So while he's probably going to show up for Avengers: Infinity War, there is no guarantee he will ever make an appearance in any other Marvel film, and he's definitely not going to his own stand-alone as part of the MCU canon.
Sony may also have some creative control left with the character, meaning they might have a say in terms of casting decision and input into the storylines. With less creative control, Marvel can't guarantee the character will be any good in the film and if the battles over plot and character get too contentious, Marvel might stop trying to include him all together.
While this is excellent news in the short term, let's not be too quick to start labeling this a victory for Marvel. There's still a very long way to go before Spider-Man makes his official debut with The Avengers, and a lot can happen in production hell, so prepare for moths of rumors, in-fighting, and casting debates.
Can we please just have that Deadpool movie now?

Ushuaia, Argentina - Fin Del Mundo, a photo by GlobeTrotter 2000 on Flickr.
Situated on the Beagle Strait, Ushuaia is the largest city in Argentine Tierra del Fuego, and arguably the southernmost city in the world. In the past, the town has been a missionary base, penal colony and naval base for the Argentine navy. Ushuaia is now a major tourist town, complete with casinos and nice restaurants, and commonly used as a base for hiking, winter sports and cruises to Antarctica.
Today the town is growing fast as a result of increased tourism since the 2002 economic crash. The government has encouraged this growth by designating Tierra del Fuego a virtually tax-free zone to encourage people to settle (many of the inhabitants of today's Ushuaia come from Chaco, in the north of Argentina). The cost of living however, is relatively high as all goods have to be transported long distances, usually by container ship.

My long series of organ meditations/reflections continues with this one, Number 122. I think I may be the only composer here who contributes in this particular genre, so I hope at least a few will enjoy the departure from norm. It is recorded from my Johannus Vivaldi 370 organ using "Capture Duo," an app on my iPad, and then transferred and bounced in Studio One 3 on my desktop computer. (Sounds like I know what I'm talking about. The reality is that I just push a few buttons, try to hit most of the notes correctly, and hope for the best.) If you are interested, the written score can be found here:

Comments about Westlake 10 Drawer Dresser:
We bought this dresser and the 2 matching nightstands. You can tell they are excellent quality by the feel and weight of the pieces. All the drawers close smoothly on the drawer glides and I especially like the 4 lined drawers along the top. It makes it easier to store and find smaller items instead of having to sort through a bunch of stuff in one large drawer. Would definitely recommend!

The Falklands Legacy Trailer (2012)
Thirty years after the Falkland's War, journalist and military historian Max Hastings explores the conflict's impact and its legacy. Hastings, who sailed with the Task Force in 1982 and reported on the Falklands campaign first-hand, looks at how victory in the South Atlantic revived the reputation of our armed forces and renewed Britain's sense of pride and its image abroad after years of decline as an imperial and military power. Hastings examines how the Falklands provided a model of a swift and successful war that was matched by other conflicts Britain fought at the end of the 20th-century. In contrast, the long campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan have left the British public sceptical about sending our armed forces in large numbers to war again. The Falklands could well be the last popular war Britain fights, and certainly the country's last imperial hurrah.

Holiday cottage, Lagness, West Sussex
September 2017
Copyhold Barn
"Copyhold Barn is extremely spacious with a lovely comfortable lounge and well equipped kitchen. We were very pleased to have large bedded twin room with disabled shower for 2 elderly relatives. The kind owner put a bit of heating on for us even though not normally needed in September to keep our elderly folk comfortable. Well situated for exploring Chichester."
September 2017
A great stay in lovely accommodation in quiet location
"Greatly enjoyed our stay in Copyhold Barns which offers spacious, comfortable, quality accommodation. Set in a lovely peaceful location within easy reach of various local places of interest."
May 2017
Long weekend break
"Lovely spacious accommodation in tranquil surroundings. Lost of local pubs around and Pagham seaside 10 min drive away."
" Copyhold Barns was the perfect choice of accommodation for our holiday, as it provided spacious and comfortable accommodation and was decorated and equipped to a high level. Its location, although set in a lovely part of the Sussex countryside on a working farm, provided us with easy access to Chichester and Bognor plus plenty of RSPB reserves for bird watchers. Our hosts, who were always on hand if needed, were very friendly and helpful and made our holiday complete. "
Relax and spread out in the exceptional space on offer at Copyhold Barns. This conversion of a Sussex flint stable block and cart manger forms an interesting 'L' shaped split level building. Located on a working arable farm and only a couple of miles from the picturesque Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, the barns are in a beautifully rural and secluded area at the end of a private drive with many footpaths radiating from the doorstep. Enjoy the wildlife at the farm with moorhens and visiting wild ducks on the natural pond, and bats, deer and birdlife aplenty.
The barns have been converted to an excellent standard and are adapted to allow disabled access to the second bedroom and bathroom. Please note that there are steps within the barn as the living area and bedrooms are on different levels, so it is not suitable for guests in wheelchairs. The overall space provided here is very good as the living room and kitchen make up the whole of the old stable block while the two bedrooms and bathrooms are in the cart manger. Although designed to sleep four, the living room does contain two sofa beds at the far end which makes the accommodation very adaptable if a group of friends are staying for nearby events such as Goodwood. In this instance up to five individuals or three couples can be accommodated. An additional cost is then levied for the provision of linen on the sofa beds.
The master bedroom has a king sized bed with ensuite bathroom with shower above, while the second bedroom has two double beds making it a twin room with a difference! This is the room which is adapted for disabled access with a ramp from the outside and a fully functioning ensuite wet room.
We have to advise though that the surrounding farmland is not so wheelchair friendly.
Outside there is a private area with tables and chairs that in the summer is a real sun trap enjoying the sun throughout the day and well into the evening.
Lagness is a small village between the beaches at Aldwick and Bognor Regis three miles to the east and the cathedral city of Chichester to the west. It is also right beside the utter tranquillity of Pagham Harbour a mile or so to the south.
This part of the coastline is a haven for unusual birds and wildlife with Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve and Chichester Harbour a little further to the west both being areas of outstanding natural beauty.
Pagham Harbour is an internationally important site for nature conservation while Chichester Harbour also combines its wildlife attractions with sailing centres such as Itchenor, Bosham, Dell Quay and Emsworth. Between these harbours there are beaches at Selsey and the Witterings, the latter offering unrivalled views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight.
Chichester the cathedral city of Sussex is within four miles. It has played a key role in the affairs of Sussex since at least Roman times. The city has broad streets that are packed with listed buildings headed by the towering presence of the cathedral.
The city centre is neatly enclosed within the ancient city walls, which helps to make Chichester compact and pleasant to explore on foot. It is a cosmopolitan, vibrant and friendly city proudly combining two thousand years of heritage with a lively lifestyle. A trip to the Chichester Festival Theatre close by to the centre is worth considering since it is famous for the quality of theatre production many of which premiere here before moving on to the London theatre scene. For the film buff the cinema complex and nearby restaurants to the south of the city also make for an enjoyable evening out.
There is always much to see and do in Sussex and staying in Lagness gives the best of both; beaches close by and an easy springboard back inland to explore the South Downs or for visiting the very popular Goodwood events.

Washington, May 12 (ANI): Stone Age humans who lived about 70,000 years ago were such good chemists that they made a sophisticated kind of natural glue by tweaking the chemical and physical properties of an iron-containing pigment, known as red ochre, with the gum of acacia trees for their shafted tools, according to a study.
While it has long been believed that the blood-red pigment served a decorative or symbolic purpose, scientists also suspected that the pigment might have been purposely added to improve glue that held the peoples' tools together.
With a view to testing this idea, researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, recreated the ancient glue using only Stone Age materials and technologies.
The results showed that glue containing red ochre was less brittle and more shatterproof than glue made from acacia gum alone.
"We discovered that when we used ochre, the glue is much more robust, and the stone tool doesn't come off the shaft," National Geographic News quoted study team member Lyn Wadley as saying.
The researchers also believe that making the glue was mentally taxing work that would have needed the ancient people to account for differences in the chemistry of gum harvested from different trees, and in the iron content of ochre from different sites.
"They couldn't possibly have known about chemical pH or iron content ... but they knew that certain combinations of things worked very well," Wadley said.
She further said that the intelligence of Stone Age humans was more akin to that of modern humans than previously thought.
"Our study shows that there's a lot of overlap between ourselves and these ancient people. Their technology was a lot more competent than we have given them credit for."
A research article on this work has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (ANI)

Clipper Pattern Brings Bursts of Snow
The new week ahead will feature snow clipping the northern tier states, while a warmup takes shape in the central and southern U.S. In the West, a pattern change is on the horizon. Let's start with the snowy details that could impact your Monday evening commute.
A weather pattern featuring what meteorologists call clipper systems began over the weekend.
In general, clipper systems dive southeastward from western Canada into the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast at a very fast pace with light to moderate snows during the winter. Sometimes these disturbances can be accompanied by gusty winds and reinforcing cold air.
We are seeing a couple of these so-called clippers to start this week.
If you are in the regions highlighted in our forecast below, be prepared for winter driving conditions at times and the potential for reduced visibility from these quick bursts of snow.(TRAVEL: Difficulty Driving Index | Interstate Forecast | Check Your Flight)
The latest "clipper": - Another weak low-pressure system with light snow is diving through the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Tuesday, the light snow will spread across the Great Lakes and parts of the interior Northeast Tuesday night into early Wednesday. Light snow showers may affect New York City, but it appears the accumulating snow with this latest clipper may stay farther northwest.
(CITIES AFFECTED: Chicago | Detroit | Milwaukee | Minneapolis)
From this wintry feel we go to a part of the country where you may be getting visions of spring.

Well time is really flying by! It is hard to believe that it is almost Christmas! I haven't posted in almost 2 months so I have decided to share some things that have been going on recently in my life and some of my favourite things lately! Thanks to Heather at Housewife Glamour for the link up! (ps. it is still Friday here on the west coast lol)
– I am moving!
Next week I am moving back to Vancouver Island! I haven't lived at home in over 3.5 years so
it will definitely take some getting used to! I am very excited to see my family and friends more often but it will be bitter sweet leaving Burnaby!
– I am going to California!
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 3 years and I still have not gone home with him to California! He is from Northern California so I am flying into San Fransisco in about 2 weeks! I am so excited! I am going for just over a week and am looking forward to meeting his friends and seeing where he is from. Plus I get a vacation out of it too! I cannot wait!
– Sleepy Time Tea
I am a self proclaimed tea lover. I love almost any type of tea but I have to be super careful what type of tea I drink before bed because I am easily affected by caffeine. I bought this sleepy time tea because my brother drinks it and I love the flavour and it is perfect to drink before bed!
– Oatmeal Bites
These little bites are amazing! Not only do they taste great but they are super convenient. I bring them to work and they are great for when I am hungry but don't have time to take a break. I used the recipe found here but I didn't have flax seed meal so I just skipped it. Try these, you won't be disappointed!
– Pomegranates
I love winter because pomegranates seem to be in abundance in the grocery stores. They are super tasty and every since I found this video on how to seed them, I have been buying a few every time I go shopping. Pomegranates are high in vitamin C and fibre and make a great snack!
– Getting my nails done!
Ever since I started serving again my nails have taken quite the beating. I have thin nails that tend to peel so I normally keep them pretty short so I don't have to worry about them breaking. Last week I went and got my nails done with one of the girls I work with and I absolutely love them!
That's all for today! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
❤ Mikaela

Demolition of St Nicholas House and remainder of the site
9.1 What was the cost of demolishing St Nicholas House? Who paid for it? What were the conditions for payment, in particular, was this linked to planning approval?
The Council decision to demolish the existing buildings and redevelop the site was made in 6 October 2011. At this time Council agreed to put the site up for sale, inviting bids from potential investor/developers. When offers were assessed for the site the demolition element was equalized between all bidding parties. The Council paid for the full demolition. In addition, the demolition was not linked to any planning application (other than the demolition consent).
The full demolition cost of the building was £3.692million, further details can be found on page 4 of the Capital Monitoring report.
9.2 How much of the purchase price paid by Muse for the land (the upfront cost) does ACC have left after demolition costs and fees etc? If so, what value?
The full purchase price is £10 million. Please see 9.1 and link for further information in relation to the demolition element.

Game strategies: Cooperation vs Competition
We all like to win; so a cooperative game where everybody gets something 'should' be desirable for everyone who is risk-averse and diplomatic. However, risk takers prefer zero-sum games; in which there is a clear winner and loser/losers.
The Nash equilibrium is an example of a cooperative game. "Prisoner's dilemma" is an example of the Nash equilibrium. It is a game involving two prisoners; If one confesses and the other doesn't; then the one who confesses will face 10 yrs in prison. If neither confesses then both prisoners will each serve 15 yrs years in prison. If both confess then they both serve 5 yrs in prison. The NASH Eq is in effect in the last situation where both prisoners get 5 yrs. If, in this situation both prisoners were competitive then they'd end up in jail for the max period.
However, if one prisoner was competitive and the other played it safe. The competitive one would serve no jail time.
In a Hobbesian world everyone would be competitive and limited resources would have the better of us. In an ideal world everyone would play it safe ; in the real world most people prefer to avoid taking risks and alpha-males topple the rest of us over. Or do they?
Is it better to be competitive(Big Win:Lose) or cooperative(Win:Win)?
Please cast your vote after you've read the arguments.
You can also add to the debate by leaving a comment at the end of the page.
Be competitive
Most people are not courageous enough to be competitive and acknowledging this being competitive feels like the best strategy for those who dare.
Monopolies have used the principal of competition to rise above everyone else; booting out new competition before it could be threatening. Using bribes and/or other forms of venality even aggression and threats is common in the history of how many big organizations started. Sometimes playing against the rules to comply with unwritten rules is required. Getting a patent for your product/invention and/or getting legal copyright for your writing in case of a novelist or writer is another way of keeping competitors at bay.
Products are copied,re-engineered and blue-prints/designs are stolen, everyday. It's a dog eat dog town.
If you can't take on corruption being corrupt is the only option. (if you can't beat 'em join 'em)
"Zero sum
The basic assumption of competitive negotiation is that it is a 'zero sum game'. That is, the people involved believe that there is a fixed amount to be gained which both people desire, and if one person gains then the other person loses. It is like arguing over a pie: if one person gets a piece of the pie then the other person does not.
The outcome of zero-sum negotiation is defined in terms of winners and losers. One person gets what they want and feels smug (or maybe a bit guilty) whilst the other person gets loses out and feels cheated or a failure."-[[http://changingminds.org/disciplines/negotiation/styles/competitive_negotiation.htm]]
What about integrity or playing fair?
What about morality in business.
A company that is notorious for venal practices and corruption including rough handling competitor firms or newly emerging small firms; alienates other member of the business community. In business connections are key and this risk for a quick is not worth it.
We should look out for everyone and not for just ourselves. If we only look out for numero uno we will lose all our friends in the long run. [[http://changingminds.org/disciplines/negotiation/styles/competitive_negotiation.htm]]
As in the debate definition Competitive strategies are the best and only option in zero sum games.
In the case where there is a game that allows no room for draws; where the only outcome could be either winning or losing; it is necessary to take your competitor down ; rather than negotiate with him/her through civil/social contact/contract.
For example in wars the situation on the battlefield when the rules made it clear that prisoners cannot be taken was to kill or be killed. This problem required a soldier to take a life or die.
Now, most zero-sum games are not as extreme but the understanding is the same; there is no incentive to accommodate the competitor because there is no leeway for both parties to win.
Even in a zero-sum game ; competitive strategies such as cheating should not be employed. An honorable soldier does not poison his adversaries, he does not stab an enemy in the back and he gives any enemy soldier the right to fight against him.
And in more recent wars a soldier is required to be able to opt for imprisonment over death if s/he faces certain death.
Ultimately, any problem should be resolved with the satisfaction and civil treatment of both/all sides. We're human beings not animals even in extreme situations there are rules of courtesy that are expected. [[http://www.johnpilger.com/articles/nuclear-war-courtesy-of-nato]]
As in the debate definition Nash equilibrium points out that being cooperative in certain situations is better than being competitive
That is, if both prisoners confessed they'd be better off than if both prisoners refused to confess. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ug2EVjdS4E]]
This only works when the prisoners can make a trust-worthy deal to confess and have the security/surety/insurance that the other prisoner will confess also.
Prisoners are usually kept apart and therefore cannot strike such trust-worthy unions.
Good-cop bad cop strategies are continuously employed to dupe one prisoner into believing, that the other prisoner ratted him out and took no blame for the crime/act(did not confess)
When there is no insurance the prisoner who does not confess wins.
Most games are never truly zero-sum and there is always room to accommodate a partial win for the other side
Whenever negotiation is entered into for the purpose of making a contract; cooperative strategies are encouraged. The object of negotiation is not to cut talks off but to consummate talks on an equally satiated footing. The objective is to maintain amicable contact for the long run, to leave with a good impression and a civil handshake with purely good feelings. [[http://ezinearticles.com/?Competitive-Vs-Cooperative---A-Comparison-of-Two-Common-Business-Models&id=1792997]]
In the business world connections are everything; insulting people, disrespecting them or just shutting them up will turn you into a bankrupt pariah if you are not careful.
The big boss/Alpha-male/Top-man is never a pariah. He's the person who can be rude to anyone because he does not need to coerce or patronize people to get to the tops; he's already there.
Inventors, big-shot writers, celebrities diplomats etc make demands on other people who comply only to be around these people. The idea is that any publicity or contact with this negative or positive with be great for business. Call it the diplomatic license or the dumb-pretty-blonde-charm; it works.
Sometimes these people even get away with murder. The idea is to get to the top and it doesn't matter how you got there ; stay there employing the same competitive strategies.
Rules of the jungle: Survival of the fittest. [[http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/385530/are_celebrities_getting_away_with_murder.html?cat=17]]
Which is more fun?
Not everyone lives life to become the top dog and to win everything. Being top of a heirarchy is incredibly stressful, you have to watch your back all the time and manage the affairs of an entire corporation, there's never time to sleep, and you can still have all the things humans enjoy - money, sex etc. by being moderately successful.
There are many fun ways to play a game - hack it, lose in an amusing way, see how far you can get while at a great disadvantage (which sounds more awesome - 'most successful local business' or 'most successful local business in a recession'?), see how many other people you can get playing it at once (to see if the game can handle being overloaded). Granted, if the stakes are real, such as in business, this playing around is less appealing, but if you know you can survive it without actually dying, a resourceful person can rebuild if they lose.
What do you think?

Film Daily lists Basil Wrangell as the film's editor, but this credit is probably an error. The film received a "Best Art Direction" Academy Award nomination at the 1932-33 ceremonies. The title on the viewed print of this film was Strange Skirts. In 1941, Robert Z. Leonard directed Joan Crawford, Robert Taylor and Greer Garson in an M-G-M remake of Rachel Crothers' story. Apparently M-G-M changed the title of the 1933 film to Strange Skirts to avoid confusion with its own remake. On June 11, 1952, a third version of Crothers' play, directed by Alex Segal and starring Patricia Morison and Richard Carlson, was broadcast on the ABC television network.

There was a time when monolithic CMSs satisfied everyone's needs. They offered the luxury of being able to quickly create and deploy websites. Best of all, they could be handled by users who had little technical expertise or design skills. This was a small business marketer's dream, and even medium and large organizations found value in CMSs that coupled the content repository with the ability to manage webpage experiences.

Sosius announced the launch of its new business model. Sosius supports customer adoption and growth with its 'usage basis' pricing structure, allowing customers to pay for what they use, not the number of members or groups with which they interact. With this business model, Sosius challenges the 'per user' and 'per workspace' pricing established by other collaboration. Unlike per user pricing structures that restrict the number of users, Sosius hopes its customized solutions will support customer growth. In addition to its usage-based pricing plans, Sosius will provide an 'a la carte' menu to allow customers to pick and choose additional features such as increased storage and bandwidth and higher levels of customer support and security. As the company continues to develop new applications and to partner with other providers of online collaboration and networking tools, Sosius users will have the ability to create customized solutions that meet the needs of their business.

Sautè 101: Preheating the Pan
Sometimes when you scan that new recipe you've been planning to make just after you walk in the door (late and already hungry), and the first line of the directions reads preheat the pan over medium heat, it's tempting to think, "Yeah, whatever. What's step number two?" However, since Everyday Chef is on a mission to become a sautè guru, I thought I'd do some research to find out if it's really necessary to preheat the pan, or if it's one of those steps that can be sacrificed to the tune of simplifying life.
If you're making a sautè recipe, the next step usually calls for adding the butter or oil to the pan. If this is the case, why not kill two birds with one stone, and heat the pan and the butter or oil at the same time? Right? That seemed logical to me--until now.
According to chefs at the Rouxbe Cooking School and to those consulted by the Reluctant Gourmet, preheating the pan is a step worth keeping. Essentially, and perhaps counter-intuitively, preheating the pan will prevent your ingredients from sticking or burning to the pan. Why? There are a couple of reasons: one reason is that heating the pan affects the chemistry of the pan, effectively sealing the surface of the metal so that it doesn't catch the meat of veggies you put on it; as the makers of Emerilware and All-Clad put it, preheating the pan helps to form a "natural barrier" that prevents foods from sticking. Another reason is that if you preheat the pan while you're heating your butter or oil, you will actually begin to degrade your fats while the pan heats, which will eventually cause your food to stick or you to add more butter or oil to the pan. And, just about everyone agrees that you should never add cold veggies or meats to a cold pan: the veggies and meats will lose tons of moisture as the pan heats up, leaving you with dry meats and pasty sautèed veggies.
So, next time you set up to sautè veggies or meats: 1. Place your pan on a burner over medium heat 2. After a minute or two, flick a few droplets of water on the surface, if it evaporates, it is hot enough to add your butter or oil 3. Add your butter or oil and once it is heated (but before it starts smoking!) add your veggies or meat
Check back on Monday to learn more about which kinds of fats are best for sautèing.
