Apple has grown used to launching a new product and quickly revolutionizing an industry. Over the past decade, it has done this with the iPod, iPhone, App Store, and iPad.
But it is having a tougher time revolutionizing the advertising industry with its mobile "iAd."
While the ads themselves look very nice, have drawn incredible curiosity, and have inspired competitors to offer iAd-like products, they are still a tough sell.
Apple recently chopped the minimum iAd purchase in half, to $500,000, from $1 million. That should help. And the fact that it's Apple still means that they are getting meetings with everyone under the sun, we hear.
But we also hear that iAd salespeople still don't have freedoms they would have elsewhere, like wiggle room on ad rates; that the minimum buy is still too high for most campaigns; and that salespeople don't know -- or can't tell customers -- what direction the iAd platform is going in.
Then, there is still the control issue. Most agencies and brands want some. Apple still has it all.
Agencies still seem frustrated that they still can't do things like plug third-party measuring systems into iAds, and still don't have transparency into things like which apps their clients' ads appear in.
One top agency executive -- the kind of person Apple should really want to have in its pocket -- recently told us that while he is happy to work with his clients on iAds, he would never recommend one.
And separately, we've heard of some big iAd- like campaigns running through rival ad networks instead. These were 100% iPhone-targeted, rich media ads for blue chip advertisers, which, for every other reason, should be iAds. But they weren't.
These sorts of issues are causing some iAd salespeople to start looking for work elsewhere, says an industry source, who has started to see resumes from Apple employees. If your salary relies heavily on sales commissions, and you have a product that's hard to sell, that may not be the best fit. (Though, in fairness, perhaps those are the wrong people to be working at Apple, then.)
A second source, a recruiter, says that Apple's iAd division seems to have had a tough time attracting and retaining talent. Once the gloss factor of working for Apple wears off, this person says, people realize it isn't a media company.
Apple is currently advertising 21 iAd openings, including two sales planner positions in New York posted this week, a regional sales manager opening in Los Angeles posted last month, and a business development manager opening in London, posted in January.
Sources familiar with the iAd operation say that while some people have left since Apple acquired Quattro Wireless, there is no mass exodus or panic or anything like that. And turnover is typical when a startup gets absorbed into a huge company. Many people have left Google since it purchased AdMob, for example.
And, while publishers still talk about crappy iAd fill rates, Apple is selling iAds to top brands. A quick glance at a few iPhone apps turns up iAds for Citi and Dove -- both return advertisers. People on Twitter have recently mentioned seeing iAds for Nissan and Coldwell Banker.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs doesn't like losing, so we expect to see the company continue to invest in iAds. Whenever Apple announces new features for its forthcoming iOS 5 -- perhaps in April -- we expect to hear more about the future of the iAd.
And -- bigger picture -- mobile advertising is still in its infancy. There is plenty of time for Apple to iterate and to make the iAd a successful business.
But it may have to loosen up some more. And with Jobs -- a very controlling executive -- still in command of the company, some wonder if operating a successful advertising operation is even within "Apple's DNA."
Apple did not respond to our request for comment.

Here's another discussion about marriage! I would've plugged it into Katie Proctor's discussion, but I feel this is a different take on it.
When you find "the ONE" do you just "know it"? Is being nervous before you get married a bad sign? Is NOT having any doubts really a good sign? Do happy couples suffer from confirmation bias?
I grew up in a [Christian and American] culture that tried to convince me that there was one person specially created for me, and I for them. I was always very skeptical of this "love at first sight" nonsense. I didn't buy into the fairy tale depiction of love. Despite my skepticism, I still struggle with the messages that have been deeply ingrained.
From the moment I had my first crush, until I met my now boyfriend, I was trying to decide if this guy or that guy was "the One." Less than an articulated thought, I would feel the question, "Do I know this man is my husband?!" I would analyze the hell out of every glance and sigh, trying to determine if this feeling I had "never felt before" was the never before felt feeling of "knowing."
It was all very confusing, and frustrating because these persistent questions went against my conviction it was all bunk. I didn't believe there was a Knight in Shining Armor, but some imperfect someone that I got along with really well, and who mostly understood me. He might be the last person I would suspect. He might not match what I had in my mind for a partner. As much as I wanted some guy to see me across the room and instantly fall in love, the feminist in me chaffed at the idea; he doesn't even know who I am!!! And besides, there were guys who instantly fell in love (or infatuation), and I found them all repulsively creepy. In theory, that kind of devotion sounds lovely. In reality, it's weird and leads to restraining orders.
So, how do you KNOW? Maybe you don't. Maybe if you had an amazing connection with someone, and felt all the right things, and stayed married your entire life, you were just lucky. Because there are people who have an amazing connection, feel all the right things, then divorce. And there are others who were unsure, but who are now perfectly happy they pushed through their doubt.
When I met my boyfriend, I definitely felt something new. I was excited to get to know this guy better... as a friend. Well, I was attracted to him for sure, but I was trying not to let all my typical over-analyzing thoughts take over and run away with me. I was trying to stay level, and I did a pretty good job at it. All I would allow myself to think at the end of the night was, "This guy is going to be a huge part of my life." And he has been. And our goodbye hug felt different. I'm the kind of person that's just not comfy being physical, but I felt safe with him. Not electrified, just sooo comfortable. That was new, too. But, again, I didn't let myself think too much of any of it.
Later, we really did get together, and I had some major doubts. I think a lot of those doubts sprung from the fact that our relationship was not conventional or traditional. I was a feminist, but this was the first time a guy held me to that ideal... although he wasn't aware of it. He wasn't treating me like a helpless girl. I loved and hated that. Without going into too much detail, it was simply confusing to get what I had always wanted but never anticipated. And all of it just gets balled up with deconverting from a Believer to atheist. What DO I expect from men now that I don't have to rebel against their authority over me? What IS acceptable for a relationship not rooted in religion?
Two and a half years later, I'm so glad I worked through my doubts. I feel so lucky. But it's not over yet, is it? It's not over until it's over, and we should never take our relationships for granted. We are NOT meant to be; we have to work at keeping things good. Nothing is guaranteed, and feelings are never good indicators of what is actually the best thing.

By the way, I did not copy and paste the article here... I wrote my own blurb. Definitely read the article!!! I thought it was really good :)
Your last statement hit the nail on the head. When you meet a man, as a feminist, he must, most of all, respect you for who you are, and let you grow. By him not treating you like a helpless female, will make you grow up, and you can have a go at ANYTHING - That doesn't stop you from being female, a woman, sexy and lustful, when in fact , he will REALLY appreciate it, but it is all on your terms. If he is a competent, sure of himself as a male, and not threatened by you, you will have a fantastic relationship.
Ask him about what makes him tick - what makes him as a person and a man - these are the sort of talks you should be having - and when or if you have children, this is the sort of information that should be passed on, and you will understand your children better.
I have been divorced, and I have been living with my partner now for 20 something years. Two things keep a relationship robust, ;listening to each other, this should NEVER stop, respect and lust. Lust just means saying I luv you, kissing hello and goodbye, acknowledging the other at most times.
Also remember, men can't read our minds, so if something is worrying you, talk about it - what is troubling you could well be a revelation to him, and if he respects you, he will understand more of where you are coming from - and you will both learn and grow together - happy times ahead.
When you find "the ONE" do you just "know it"?
No. That's is bullshit, IMO. When people say that what they really mean is that everything seemed to come together that they, at that time, thought they wanted. All these things come from many sources. Among them are, what society / media / religion / fairy tales tell you that you should want. Internal wiring that most are not really conscious of. Looks, fertility tags and income potential. I don't believe in a ONE.
I believe that our ONE is actually MANY. It is limited only by our internal wiring, acceptance of societal conditioning, emotional baggage and most significantly, ability to be open to love/hurt, to accept and love someone else as they are, not as something to change.
Is being nervous before you get married a bad sign?
Not nessasiarily. I believe it's a sign of THINKING. Until death do us part is a long damn time in most cases. Not everyone shows all thier true colors before the papers are signed and the rice is thrown.
Is NOT having any doubts really a good sign?
Not necessarily. It often means one is naive, not thinking or laughing in the face of fear.
Do happy couples suffer from confirmation bias?
Yes. Nearly everyone "suffers" from this to one degree or in one form or another. For some that "suffering" leads to happiness.
I think the idea to renew the contract each year is a great one. The reasons marriage fail IMO are many. One HUGE one is taking it for granted and not tending it.
Another is buying into religious / societal / fairy tale crap such as The ONE.
Also, not taking the time to really explore yourself, the gray scary parts in particular and accept you, not to mention learn about living a little. The article mentions it's best to marry after 35. I've told my kids 30.
I grew up in a [Christian and American] culture that tried to convince me that there was one person specially created for me, and I for them. I was always very skeptical of this "love at first sight" nonsense. I didn't buy into the fairy tale depiction of love. Despite my skepticism, I still struggle with the messages that have been deeply ingrained.
I'm sorry to say we all struggle with such things. The fact that you are now conscious of it will help though. Hopefully you won't pass this garbage on to the next generation even though society will do it's best to make sure it does continue.
Two and a half years later, I'm so glad I worked through my doubts. I feel so lucky. But it's not over yet, is it? It's not over until it's over, and we should never take our relationships for granted. We are NOT meant to be; we have to work at keeping things good. Nothing is guaranteed, and feelings are never good indicators of what is actually the best thing.
Actually instincts/feelings, first instincts the ones you tell yourself aren't fair and that you have no basis for and therefore you should give the person another chance are very good, IMO.
Regardless, you should always work to keep things good. Nothing is ever guaranteed. Pull him aside from things, have a heart to heart over a coffee date. Always take time to check in and make sure you are both listening to each other, remembering yourselves as a loving couple, taking the time for romance or hot sweaty sex even if you have to go camping or rent a hotel room to feel free enough for it. Date night is a wonderful thing when married.

News Briefs
Japanese natural gas consortium eyes Valdez
Valdez Mayor Dave Cobb said representatives from the Japanese natural gas buying consortium REI will be visiting Valdez this coming Tuesday. The visit is supposed to be low key according to Cobb, who is also a board member of the Alaska Gasline Port Authority, the group made up of representatives from Valdez and Fairbanks North Star Borough formed by its representative voters to build or "cause to be built" a wide diameter natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to Port Valdez.
"They say Valdez is the place to come," Cobb said when discussing the matter with the Valdez City Council Monday night during its regular meeting. "They say the market is there."
The group has continued its efforts to bring Alaska's natural gas reserves to market in the state and for export to Asia, despite various state sponsored gasline schemes passed by the Alaska legislature in the past decade, such as the Palin-era AGIA legislation and this year's HB4.
Relief from No Child Left Behind
(AP) The Obama administration has approved Alaska's request for a waiver from provisions of the federal education law No Child Left Behind.
In 2011, the administration announced it would let states avoid certain requirements, like students showing they're proficient in reading and math by 2014, if other conditions were met. Those conditions included states imposing their own standards to prepare students for college and careers and setting evaluation standards for teachers and principals.
Alaska applied for a waiver last year.
Critics of No Child Left Behind call it a one-size-fits-all approach to education that doesn't fit Alaska's needs.
The U.S. Department of Education says it has approved waiver requests from 37 states and the District of Columbia so far.
The latest approvals, announced Monday, were for Alaska, Hawaii and West Virginia.
Alaska's unemployment rate plummeting
(AP) Alaska's unemployment rate continues to fall, hitting a preliminary 6 percent last month.
That would be the lowest the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has been in Alaska since June 2007. Unemployment stood at 6.2 percent in March and 7 percent in April 2012.
Nationally, unemployment was 7.5 percent last month.
State labor department economist Caroline Schultz cautioned against reading too much in the month-to-month movement of the rate. But she says the rate indicates Alaska has fully recovered, in terms of its employment, from the recession of several years ago and its aftermath.
Schultz says she would be surprised, however, if unemployment continued to decline at the current rate.

A discussion over at BlogCatalog about affirmative action - turned socio-economic conditions debate has sparked my need to read. The question that sparked this exploratory post was whether not impoverished people could lift themselves up out of poverty by the very simple act of not making poor personal choices. At first, this question seems exceedingly simple to answer - better choices create better environments and results, therefore yes, making better personal choices would lift people out of poverty. Of course, the real answer is no where near that simple. In fact, the matter is so complex one could invest a lifetime exploring the causes and implications of poverty and socio-economic standing. I'm thinking we could do a brief overview, instead.
There are some common ideologies about poverty, crime, education and so forth that are often used in debates about the issue.
- Poverty is a choice, the poor choose to remain poor, the poor could lift themselves out of poverty by applying themselves, and the poor consciously make bad decisions to perpetuate poverty.
- The poor have no choices, are victims and are generally helpless.
- Poverty is caused by various means, and is a self perpetuating cycle that will require a concerted effort on everyone's behalf to break or correct.
Now, all of these ideologies have a bit of truth to them, but none of them are all true. First and foremost, we have to consider our national economic system's role in poverty. We have a mixed economy that leans heavily towards free market capitalism. In capitalism economic hierarchies must exist, and be appropriately filled in order for capitalism to thrive. That includes the economic class of poor and working class economic brackets. Although extreme or abject poverty provides little benefit for regulated capitalist markets, those who hover right around the poverty threshold fulfill the basic needs of companies offering low wage employment. Students whose age and academic schedules determine that they work part time jobs, or fewer than twenty hours a week means that there simply aren't enough bodies to satisfy the needs of companies. So adults, particularly adults with little or no education, must step in and fill those positions.
Of course, we all know that supporting oneself or one's family on a low, minimum wage, or below minimum wage job (service industry, commission based jobs) is next to impossible, hence you have an entire segment of the population who are now poor. I find it ironic that the very requirements of an economic system that people support causes and sustains poverty, and yet, the poor are consistently blamed for their own financial woes.
Education is key.
The most commonly looked at issue regarding poverty is education, or a lack thereof. Large cities with poor inner city schools are severely lacking in the funds and resources needed to provide decent, or competitive educations. To compound that issue, poor inner city areas also have little in the way of out-of-school educational resources, such as proper libraries, extracurricular activities, youth groups and organizations, tutoring and so forth. The children growing up in poor inner cities simply do not have access to all of the materials and information they need to become successful.
Drop out rates, rates of illiteracy, and poor educational resources result in poor test scores, low paying job opportunities, and a lack of value on education. Compare graduation statistics by cities and, Compare the test results of schools with high vs low levels of poor students. The numbers speak for themselves. However, even more pertinent to the problem are parents with equally low levels of education. Cognitive development studies have shown, over decades of research, that children with parents who have secondary, graduate, or post graduate educations will have children who develop faster and retain information better than children whose parents have little or no education, and for a variety of reasons.
Also, an interesting study and thesis points out that young adults with little to no education, or a poor education, living at or below the poverty level could adversely affect the unborn child and young child respectively due to a lack of pre-natal medical care, inability to properly parent, and exposure to insufficient role models and peer groups. Read - The Vicious Cycle: Poor Children, Risky Lives by Bruce L. Mallory.
Essentially, the idea is that uneducated parents produce uneducated children, and instead of each generation experiencing a progression towards a decrease in poverty, the percentage of poverty and poor education actually increases.
Crime doesn't pay.
Well, actually, it does pay. Crime pays well, in fact for a lot of people who would otherwise be scraping by a meager minimum wage and welfare living. There are a lot of arguments circulating around about the relation of poverty and crime. However, incarceration statistics clearly indicate that far more convicted criminals are coming from, and returning to, impoverished neighborhoods. There are anecdotal arguments about how not all poor people commit crimes, and never would, and that's true. However morals are relative and learned behaviors so it would suffice to say that those growing up who are exposed to crime, and have little education, and little hope for real opportunities have a much higher chance of committing a crime than those who do not grow up under those circumstances. A debate on the direct and indirect links of crime and poverty states:
Poverty creates unstable communities. Clifford R. Shaw and Henry D. McKay's classic 1942 study on juvenile delinquency argued that economic deprivation encourages crime only because poor neighborhoods tend to be socially unstable, [and] Unstable employment creates despair. More recent studies, however, have had to revise this aspect of the theory, the authors write. In his 1987 work The Truly Disadvantaged, William Julius Wilson showed that low-skill, high-paying manufacturing jobs in U.S. cities declined drastically during the 1970s. The result has been a concentration of poor blacks in ghetto areas. These areas have experienced extremely high rates of violent crime even though they are not subject to a job-driven turnover of population. [and] low levels of economic well-being directly encourage crime because people naturally shift to illegal activities in order to succeed when legal channels are blocked. [and] Obviously, deciding whether or not social disorganization mediates economic deprivation and crime depends crucially on how "social disorganization" and "economic deprivation" are defined and measured.
A look into the history of gangs and gang violence sheds even more light on the subject of crime, gangs, and violent crimes:
The black youths in Aliso Village, a housing project in East Los Angeles, started a club called the Devil Hunters in response to the Spook Hunters and other white clubs that were engaging in violent confrontations with blacks. The term "Devil" reflected how blacks viewed racist whites and Ku Klux Klan members. The Devil Hunters and other black residents fought back against white violence with their own form of violence.
Although organized crime was nothing new at that time, the organization of gangs that evolved into what we know as the Bloods and Crips started for a very real, logical reason. Protection and survival from racist groups. These gangs, of course, evolved over time, and sought to use their power and numbers to create wealth in areas where poverty reigned supreme. I find it highly disingenuous to claim that poverty and an already violent environment had and has nothing to do with gangs and crime, considering that the gang members are often very, very poor. Top ten poverty locations and gangs. There is a psychology of poverty and social stigma attached to impoverished areas that when paired with an actual need to make money makes ganglife a desirable choice. Not only is the gang member making money to support himself or his family, he is also now commanding respect (through fear and violence) so that he gains power, social respect, and protection for himself, and his family members.
Although "gangbanging" is frowned upon by mainstream society, it garners a particular type of fear based respect from almost everyone. The moment you hear that someone is from a gang, be it the Bloods or the Hell's Angels, the reaction is immediate, and noticeable. One immediately knows not to challenge such a person, much in the way we would react to a brightly colored, venomous plant or animal. The genetic predisposition to stay away from that which endangers us is strong even in social circles. That kind of respect, although generally negative, still retains it's power. And when a person or group of people grow up feeling powerless, gaining social power and respect can and does become a priority. Crime pays out in this respect in a very big way.
It also helps to remember that the ideology of wealth being a desirable goal, and that the wealthy are notably respected for being able to acquire such wealth permeates every aspect of our society. It generates respect, awe, and power along with the financial ability to do whatever you please. This concept is not lost on those living in impoverished areas. In fact, I would say that living with the social stigma of poverty creates a huge desire to accumulate as much wealth as possible.
Look at it like this, if the temptation to commit a crime exists within wealthy, educated people so much so that they commit crimes to attain more wealth when they already have it, it's fair to say that those without educations, and no wealth to speak of, and no real possibility of attaining said wealth, the temptation to commit crimes to attain wealth increases accordingly. Although arguments of needs and wants may creep in, the psychological concept of willingness to commit a crime to accomplish the same goal remains unchanged, and would seem to be even more likely at lower levels of the economic structure, particularly when greed is combined with desperation.
Back to education...
You might be saying to yourself, "But, but, but there are other ways to gain respect, and wealth than crime, we all know that!" And, to an extent, you would be thinking correctly. However, there are other forces at play here that when combined create the the right environment for crime. First and foremost, the lack of [quality] education immediately creates very real barriers to gainful employment above and beyond poverty wages. But you also have to address the psychological issues at play when poverty strikes or persists.
In the above argument about why crime and poverty are linked, it addresses unstable communities, and despair. This is important because when despair sets in, it works a bit like clinical depression, and may even be clinical depression. If a person has been living in poverty, struggling for their entire lives, or if a person has fallen into poverty with the inability to cope, they not only view the reality of severely limited choices as a large barrier, but may even refuse to accept a golden opportunity if one should come along. When you combine despair or depression, or even anger with a lack of education, or training for critical thinking you create a person who may not recognize, understand, or comprehend the available options, and may even create a fear of the unknown.
When you live among criminals and hustlers, you gain the street knowledge of healthy skepticism. If something is too good to be true, it probably is. With a life dedicated to scraping by a meager living, the thought of losing even more by way of a scam can be terribly frightening. Although I'm sure the temptation exists. In that regard, even a true opportunity may be interpreted as a scam.
Can anyone argue that these fight or flight reactions, the basic survival reactions ingrained in our genes are really personal choices? They are choices, of course, but the idea that one is making a calm, educated choice with a future goal in mind in an impoverished and crime riddled environment with a lack of education is taking some creative license with the notion of "choice".
What does it all mean?
If we look at the Census Bureau's statistics on poverty we will see that 13% of the population lives at or below the poverty threshold, and 17.5% of the population hovers right above the threshold, or what is known as 125% of poverty. That would suggest that over 30% of the population is living at, below, or just above the national poverty threshold. That amounts to 91.5 million men, women, and children who are either in, or sinking into poverty.
We can argue that 30% of the population are simply making poor life choices, and leave it at freewill's doorstep, or we can address the very real issue of income and opportunity disparity in this country. 91 million people can't all be making the same simple mistakes.
As we look at the history of gangs, the history of crime, the history of impoverished neighborhoods, and the history of the US we can get a general idea of what happened and why, where it all began. Unfortunately the task at hand now is breaking the violent cycle of poverty and crime. Knowing how it all began is a decent start, but doesn't speak to the changes we need to make it stop.
An answer lies somewhere, and it's time we really tried to find it.

A third of adults living in the south east have received negative comments about their weight or appearance in the street, reveals a survey released this week.
The shocking results come from the survey "Fat Shaming Britain 2016", for diet company LighterLife - which reveals the scale of the epidemic faced by those with weight issues, and the damaging impact this is having on their lives.
The poll, which looked at 1,000 adults, revealed that more than a third of people (39 per cent) lack confidence due to their weight or appearance, which is made worse by the negative comments they have endured from strangers - face to face, via social media, by text and in the street.
And the accusers are closer to home than you might think. An alarming 78 per cent of people abused by strangers had also received derogatory
comments, face-to-face, from someone they knew.
Weight was overwhelmingly the main subject of comments – good or bad - confirmed by two thirds (67 per cent). And almost one in three (31 per cent) felt the comments they had received were "maybe" or "definitely" street harassment, with a further 18 per cent disclosing they had also been attacked via social media.
So how does weight affect people's lives?
Almost a quarter of people – 24 per cent – of south east respondents had felt embarrassed or self-conscious about their appearance when walking down the street. A worrying 19 per cent felt their weight or appearance had impacted their health and more than a third (39 per cent) admitted their weight or appearance has affected their confidence, the highest percentage of all UK regions surveyed.
Bar Hewlett, LighterLife founder, said, "It's a downward spiral – criticising the obese simply batters their confidence and means they are even more likely to seek comfort and escape in food, thus compounding the problem.
"Nationally, a quarter of women and almost a fifth of men admitted they rewarded themselves with food and drink.
"Just as alcoholics don't drink to excess because they are thirsty, so the obese don't overeat because they are hungry.
"What many people don't understand is that most food issues have very little to do with hunger. For many of us, eating is a way of coping with what life throws at us; bullying only throws more, which will make things worse.
"Thankfully even the NHS is waking up to the value of talking therapies to address obesity, just as they have become the front-line treatment for alcohol addiction.
"Only in this way can dieters resolve their underlying relationship with food – so when they lose the weight, they can keep it off for good."

I really enjoyed Sensei Pat Nakata's Guest Post entitled Mada, Mada, Mada.
Some students are very enthusiastic. As instructors, we should encourage this. But Karate is a lifelong practice. Sensei Shoshin Nagamine compared it to a marathon rather than a sprint.
It is good to train hard and enthusiastically. It is more important to train dilligently for the long term.
The same is true in other activities. Take weightlifting, for example. You could lift extremely heavy weights every day for two weeks, but that will not make you a good weightlifter. In two weeks, your body will not have time to grow stronger. You will just exhaust and possibly injure yourself.
It is more important to follow a disciplined course of lifting, designed to develop your overall body, and to coordinate this will a healthy diet and lifestyle.
In Karate, the question is not how much or how intensely you can train for one year or even ten years, but how well you can train for your entire life.
An important consideration is the wear and tear of Karate training on your body. It makes no sense to train so hard that you injure yourself, tear your muscles and tendons, strain your joints, break your bones, injure your back, develop arthritis, etc. Sometimes, the results of overtraining, or improper training, will not show up for years of even decades.
When you are in your 20s and 30s, you should already be planning for how you would like to be in your 70s! I think that the Tai Chi instructors do an excellent job of this. Look at a 70 year old Karate instructor and a 70 year old Tai Chi instructor. Who is in better health? Who is more agile?
Of course, the answer depends on how they trained. Slow and steady is my recommendation.

Vol. XX No. 10 BETHEL INSTITUTE (St. Paul, Minn.) March 7, 1941
Frosh Lectures
Prove of Value
To Uncertain
Outside Speakers Stress
Christian Life Service
By David Moberg.
The present semester's course in
Freshman Lectures has been fol-lowing
the topic of vocational
guidance. Several interesting
speakers from the Twin Cities as
well as from Bethel Institute have
been developing the subject.
(It has been suggested that a
summary of Freshman Lectures be
published in the Clarion.—Editor.)
On January 31 Professor A. J.
Wingblade pointed out ten things
to keep in mind in choosing a life
vocation. They are as follows:
1. Get a man-sized job.
2. Get a life-time job.
3. Get a job suited to your quali-ties.
4. Consider the time and expense
of preparation.
5. Get the kind of work you like.
6. Study the lives of men and
women already in that work.
(Continued on page 3)
By the Interviewing Reporter.
Just like Stanley and Living-stone
I thought, as I marched up
to Professor Eddie Kayshun and
gravely said, "Professor Kayshun,
I presume."
The professor's heirs were not
present at the time of the inter-view.
The professor himself is a
man of about average height. He
is very gracious and on out-ward
appearance does not seem
to have any more gray-matter than
the rest of us. This made me feel
right at home.
"I hear you are going to con-duct
the Freshman program" — I
began hesitantly.
"Yes," he answered, rushing his
words and using his hands for
gesturing, "the president of your
freshman class has asked me to
make an appearance March 14 —
and I have consented. My kiddies
(he referred to the Question
Heirs) and I are always glad to
come back to snow-country."
From that I gathered that he had
been, touring in the south.
"Oh, yes. We always seem to be
south of the border somewhere. In
fact, when organizations ask us to
appear they seem, actually, to
doubt our existence until we arrive
and put up our equipment."
I told him that some Bethelites

Playing their final home game
against the Farm school last night
and having previously played their
last foreign games at Luther and
Mankato, four Bethel cagesters re-tired
from court warfare.
These four are Gordon Peterson,
captain of the 40-41 squad; Lowell
Marquardt, Raynold Appelquist,
and Jerald Larson.
Peterson and Appelquist have
both played three years. Mar-quardt
has played two years and
Larson one.
"These boys have played well,"

announcement of his stars' retire-ment.

The Sophomore class is present-ing
a concert given by the Minne-apolis

direction of Professor George
Hultgren, as its annual program,
Mardh 28, at 8:00 p. m. in the
Junior College chapel.
The opportunity of hearing this
reputable organization, highly
praised by music critics, is a priv-ilege;
and the whole class is co-operating
in an effort to make it a
great success.

Files; Tabulations
Some of the students working on

the files of donators to Bethel In-stitute.
They are checking over a
list of about 7,000 names to elimi-nate
all duplications.
One student is working on a file
of poetry, statistics, quotations,
and other information of interest
to public speakers, whidh will be
thrown open to seminary students
in, the future. The charge for its
use will be one contribution every
time the file is referred to. Infor-mation
for the file is being gather-ed
from several magazines which
are filed in the stock room of the

All B.W.A. girls are asked by the
picture committee to submit pic-tures

Kitchen utensils and equipment
have been purchased. These are

Forty Bethel students left the
Junior College building for the all
school trip to New Ulm, sponsored
by the Student Council, last Fri-day,
February H. The loaded bus
pulled away from the college at
3:30 and proceeded without mis-hap
to New Ulm.
The students spent the time
singing, reading the newspapers
and just looking at the scenery.
Miss Johnson and Mrs. William
Adam accompanied the group.
"Olie" Nelson called roll as the
bus left each place, to make cer-tain
no one was left behind. In
this way no one was lost, strayed
or stolen.
The bus arrived at New Ulm
about six o'clock, the supper hour.
The party ate together at the We-needa
Cafe. In an hour, Bethelites
were back in the bus. Then they
proceeded to Luther College which
is situated on a hill outside of
New Ulm.
Before the game the Bethel and
Luther bands vied for musical
honors. The cheerleaders: Cliff
Bjonklund, Ruth Johnson, and Mu-riel
Salmonson, were there in full
regalia and led an inspired cheer-ing
Between halves a tumbling act
was presented by students from
Luther. Their gymnastics brought
forth many cheers and excited ex-clamations.
Margaret Erickson, Bethel's
drum majorette, performed a baton
twirling exhibition. She went
through her routine amid cheers
and clapping from both sections.
After the game students rushed
for the bus in an effort to secure
comfortable seats. "Olie" Nelson
disconcerted the comfortably seat-ed
students by announcing that a
three-quarter hour stop in New
Ulm was scheduled. Hungry stu-dents
trooped into the Weneeda
When the bus arrived at Bethel,
private cars were waiting to trans-port
the returning students to
their various homes.

Thru the Trance-urn
Dissertation on Slang
Jeepers! Hold the phone! Oh
boy! Golly! Gosh! Gee!
It is imagined that the walls,
which have ears, you know, of
Room 110 are shocked to sighing
by the constant use of the expres-sions
mentioned above. Of all
walls in Bethel College, those
forming the English Composition
Room are most grieved over
"Slang's" prominent existence. For
several years they have heard and
absorbed rules of grammar and
speech. They have overheard in-structions
given as to the ethics of
English. They have noticed the
sunrise flush mounting Miss Platt's
cheeks and forehead as she has
cursed the day of "Slang's" birth
and acclaimed the hour of
"Slang's" departure.
In one Jr. High School, the sev-enth
grade dramatized "The Mur-der
of the King's English by the
Usurper Slang." Students personi-fied
the parts of speech. Slang
was a wretched fellow, yet popu-lar.
His was a murderer's heart.
His was a murderer's work.
Though the seventh grade students
managed to imprison wicked
Slang in the playlet, he is tragical-ly
at liberty today. It is an excep-tional
person whose conversation
is wholly free from Slang.
Everyone agrees that Slang is
ignoble, unnecessary, and wrong.
No sane person would ascribe
value to Slang. On the contrary,
it is universally recognized to be
the appendiy of English. There is
no real use for it; it is not neces-sary
for descriptive purposes; it
adds no Charm to speech. No in-telligent
person deems Slang to be
I once met a red-haired Unitari-an
in a barber shop. In his con-versation
he frequently enlisted
the services of fallen Slang's de-generate
brother, Blasphemy. A
rebuke was timely. I did not hesi-tate
when opportunity came. He
apologized for his prostituted lan-guage,
not, because it is sinful in
God's sight, but because it is a
sign of intelligence if one speaks
pure English. He thus cataloged
himself and was quite offended
when I called his attention to that
fact. An intelligent person, name-ly:
one who has something to say
and knows how to say it, banishes
Slang from his vocabulary.
Students of Bethel, you are in-telligent.
You are studying the
English language in order to ade-
'quately express yourself. It is my
conviction that all of you recog-nize
the senselessness of using
Slang. Why then, do you use it?
The Christian man has a nobler
vocabulary than the unsaved, in-telligent
man. Timothy was ex-horted
to be an example of the
believers in word. Certainly no
Christian places a premium on
Slang. Slang is generally used by
those who have very little to say
and spend much time in saying it.
Slang is a great aid in narrating
"old wive's fables." It is also used
by those who delight in endless
infant-like prattle. Those who talk
much are apt to quickly deplete

their supply of descriptive adjec-tives
and then, of course, Slang
must be enlisted to give the unim-portant
statements the much de-sired
effect of importance. The
Christian who is growing earnest-ly
longs to be pure of speech.
"Study to bt quiet!" Paul ex-horts
the Christians at Thessa-lonica.
"Speak thou the things that be-come
sound doctrine," is his rec-ommendation
to Titus.
"Set a seal upon my lips and
guard thou the door of my
mouth," was David's prayer.
"Let the words of my mouth .. .
be acceptable in thy sight," is per-haps
the most familiar prayer of
the sweet Psalmist.
Christian people agree that
Slang is unnecessary and wrong.
Students of Bethel, you have
taken Jesus Christ to be your Sav-iour
and Lord. You need not, and
must not, allow Slang to occupy
the room of Sound Speech in this
"earthly house" of flesh.
It is paradoxical that we who
delight in the expressive and com-pelling
language of the masters of
Literature should stoop to embrace
Slang. We English lovers murder
good English. Absurd, when view-ed
rationally, but this fact re-mains:
we are murdering our love!
Slang is degenerated language.
Many of the oft repeated slang
phrases are derived from sacred
and awesome terms. One of the
devil's tricks is to place a humor-ous
connotation on a Holy Scrip-ture
statement. "Woe is me," to
Isaiah and Paul was the voice of
their deepest feelings. To Joe Pen-ner,
it was but a gag. Gee, gosh,
and golly are continually on the
lips of people who would not curse
God, and yet there is no differ-ence.
Heck is a take-off on hell.
We who read of hell's 'terrors
should speak that word with tears,
yet its substitution and representa-tive
passes over the lips of many
blood-redeemed people.
Let us stop this excused blasphe-my!
Let us honor God with our
words. Let us cease this meaning-less
glibber. Let us speak as be-cometh
saints. Let us banish these
superfluous expressions. Let us
speak with forethought and delib-eration.
Let us severely rebuke
ourselves when a slang word or
expression darts over the threshold
of Our mouths. Let Bethel become
renowned for her sensibly speaking

told of the qualifications the Board
of Foreign Missions looks for in

primary requirements of individu-als
who are planning to enter mis-sionary

and mental health, a call to Chris-tian
service, and knowledge of a
deep Christian experience.
On February 28 Reuben Nelson,
Executive Secretary of tihe Minne-sota
Baptist Convention developed
the subject "What Intelligent
Churches Look for in Their Pas-tors."
The primary requisites of
a good pastor are that he is called
to his task, that he is a true Chris-tian
in the fullest sense of the
word, that he must love people,
that he must be a good preacher,
and that he must have prepara-tion
adequate for the job.

To love people, said Rev. Nelson,
means that he must have a pas-sion
to win souls for Christ and
must try to meet spiritual, eco-nomic,
recreational, and moral
needs of men. To be a true pastor
one does not need to be an orator
but must have something real and
vital to say to the people. A true
pastor presents a Biblical message
which reveals the truth of God in
his own words.
He said, "Every man who goes
into the ministry today has got to
make choices as to the type of
work he's going to do." Adver-tisers
point out tihe fact that the
average intellectual age of radio
listeners is six years, and that the
pastor must keep this in mind in
doing his work. The pastor may
choose to use sensationalism of
the same type the radio uses to
draw people, or he may give them
their spiritual needs instead by
presenting the simple gospel. "No
man," said Rev. Nelson, "has a
right to take the weaknesses of a
people and use those weaknesses
to lift himself to popularity."
An interesting climax to his pre-sentation
was a discussion of the
type of wife a minister should
have. The three most important
requirements of a pastor's wife are
that she must be prepared to take
leadership, she must have a sym-pathetic
understanding of the
whole field of the pastorate, she
must be a good housekeeper, and
she must not talk too much, i. e.,
she must be able to keep secrets
which are presented to her by
trusting friends. It is good to pos-sess
a knowledge of music but is
not absolutely essential.
Rev. Nelson said, "The wife of a
pastor is a vital part of the total
life of the church. . . . No woman
ought to become a minister's wife
who has not thought into and
prayed about . . . making that de-cision.
. .. She ought to be vitally
interested in the whole field of the
"Sons" Invade Bethel
Johnsons Lead Charge
The "sons" of Scandinavia are
encamped at our very door! In our
most impregnable strong-holds!
Does it mean war? Are the home
fires threatened? Is a "blitz" in or-der?
Sometimes doubts are for-midable
and altogether in charac-ter.
Statistics will show you why.
For instance, the Johnson Cavalry
unit numbers a strong twelve. The
Anderson Infantry presses close
behind the wicked Johnson charge.
"They might be vanquished,"
you say. No, gentle white-man,
red man, black man and Turk. It
cannot be so. For re-enforcements
are held in readiness in the rear
lines of the "Son" army. There
are Nelsons, and Olsons, and Pe-tersons
and Swansons, and sons
and sons and sons!
Nor is that all! The commanders
and generals and officers that rule
our stronghold are "sons." There
is Carlson, Karlson, Johnsons-two,
Nelsons—two, and Larson.
There is nothing to be done about
it. The remaining population must
submit to superior forces, (81

The Indians bowed in defeat to
the "giants" from Worthington in
a game played in the Bethel gym
on Saturday, Feb. 22. The final
score was 52 to 35. This victory
clinched the conference champion-ship
for the visitors.
The local hoopsters started slow-ly
but fought courageously
throughout the game. They were
almost tied when the first half end-ed
with the scoreboard showing 19

When play was resumed, the

speaking) seemed unable to cope
with the smooth ball handling of
the rangy lads from Worthington.

Most house cats I have ever met purr. Some of the grumpy ones just seem to stare and hiss, but that doesn't mean they can't purr, they just choose not too. You know cats are, they do what they want, when they want. LOL!
What about big cats do they purr? I know some chortle (or something like that), but not sure if they have a purr spot and I doubt I ever get the chance to rub a lions tummy to see.
Anyway, here is a video that tells us if all cats purr.

Surgeon Simulator 2013 is a game that's unwittingly become the latest Internet craze, and you can download the Mac version here if you're interested in joining in.
The game sees you controlling the hand of a surgeon trying to save the life of Bob, who is having a tough time on the surgeon's table.
Click here to read the latest Mac games reviews
Surgeon Simulator 2013, by Bossa Studios is one of the games to come from this year's Global Games Jam. The game is unintentionally - or perhaps intentionally - black-humoured, as players try to give Bob a heart transplant. The game sees most players accidentally spill surgical tools around, drop items inside Bob, cut his ribs open, and try to take his innards out.
The game is portrayed from a first-person point of view, with the surgeon's hand floating around in front of you, all of which adds to the dark humour. The operating theatre is covered in blood.
It doesn't help that the hand is somewhat hard to control. The A, W, E, R and Space keys control fingers, while the left mouse button lowers the hand, and the right mouse button is used for rotation. Sadly, for Bob, it's nowhere near as easy to control as it sounds.
All the time you play the blood count is going down, and Bob's chances of survival are decreasing.
This has led to many people posting images with pithy captions, and recording videos of their surgical prowess, such as this hilarious video by YouTuber Robbaz, who comments happily along as he spills surgical tools into Bob's open chest cavity.

Alternatively just watch this video of the game in action from YouTube with commentary from Robert. (Warning, there is some mild swearing and gory content)..

Mount Hood Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Mount Hood Wilderness (map) in 1964 and it now has a total of 64,742 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionMount Hood, Oregon's highest summit at 11,240 feet, is a dormant volcano covered with 11 active glaciers. This snow covered peak lies at the heart of the Wilderness and is covered with forested slopes and alpine meadows. More than 10,000 climbers a year come seeking the top of the state, making Mount Hood's summit the most visited snowclad peak in America. The "easier" southside climbing route from Timberline Lodge is still a technical climb with crevasses to cross, falling rocks, and often inclement weather. Ropes, crampons and other technical gear is necessary. Climbing season is generally from April to mid-June due to melting snow and rockfall hazards later in the season. Fatalities on the mountain average at least one a year. Other routes on the mountain are much more difficult. Dormant but not dead, Mount Hood still vents sulfurous steam near the summit. Much of the area's annual precipitation of 150 inches falls as snow between October and April. A forest of Douglas fir covers much of the lower elevations, supported by an understory of Oregon grape, salal, rhododendron, and huckleberries (they ripen deliciously in August). More than a dozen waterfalls brighten river valleys that lie in the shade of the deep forest. Listen for the chirps and whistles of pikas and marmots on the rocky slopes at the tree line. The majestic and very popular Pacific Crest Trail and Timberline Trail encircles the mountain for 38 miles with a large trail washout at Elliot Glacier that requires a large detour. The loop trails cross panoramic alpine meadows painted with summer wildflowers and through the many glacial creeks and rivers that flow from the mountain flanks. Crossing the unbridged glacial creeks and rivers during snowmelt in early to mid-summer, or when heavy or sustained rains fall, can be dangerous. Hikers should use caution and have a backup plan if rivers are too high to cross. At least 21 trails zig and zag their way through the Wilderness to join the Timberline Trail. Most visitors are day hikers who visit on the weekends. Hikers visiting mid-week or camping overnight generally see few other visitors.

The "Internet of Things" concept envisions a world in which myriad devices -- from toasters to streetlights to heating thermostats -- exist in the cloud, and can identify and connect with one another seamlessly. Now, a Swedish-based startup is offering a mini-OS that can be built into device microcontrollers to ease the development of devices that are ready for this kind of connectivity.
"The idea behind Thingsquare Mist is to make it easy to connect low-power wireless devices to the Internet, so that they can be connected with smartphone apps or backend databases," Thingsquare chairman and chief architect Adam Dunkels told Design News. "We see a large interest in adding new forms of intelligence to products in the connected home, in smart lighting, and for smart cities -- this is what we call the Internet of Things."
Mist comes in the form of source code that's compiled into a firmware image that can run on a number of battery-powered microcontroller and Systems on a Chip (SoC) platforms. When Mist is designed into a wireless device, it allows that device to connect directly to a smartphone backend. Mist is based on the Contiki OS, which Dunkels himself developed, and supports the IPv6 Internet protocol for connectivity.
Dunkels explained to us how Thingsquare Mist builds a mesh network of devices in this way:
Thingsquare Mist devices build a wireless self-healing mesh network, based on standard Internet protocols. One of the devices has an Ethernet or WiFi connection. This device, called the router, becomes the access point to the Internet. Unlike previous systems, the Thingsquare Mist is very lightweight, and can run on a small 16-bit microcontroller. Existing solutions require a much more complex and costly device, often running a microprocessor large enough to run Linux.
Thingsquare has released the source code for Mist, so engineers can download it and use it with a number of embedded hardware platforms, including microcontrollers from Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics. "We currently support the TI MSP430, the STM32L, the Freescale MC13224v, and the TI CC2538," Dunkels told us.
Thingsquare Mist is already being used in small-device applications, such as a smartphone-connected thermostat from Tado that uses geolocation mapping to control a person's thermostat at home, turning it up and down according to where someone is. For instance, Tado can intelligently detect when the last person leaves a residence and adjust a home heating system accordingly, but then turn it up again before a person arrives home so it's warm by the time he or she gets there.
Thingsquare also is working on a cloud backend for Mist devices, Thingsquare Haven, that it will reveal in a few months' time, Dunkels said. Haven will monitor the status, connectivity, and health of devices connected using Mist.

Yes on Proposition 24: The Tax Fairness Act
Yes on Proposition 24: The Tax Fairness Act
Join this important effort to repeal special tax breaks for big corporations that don't create or save a single job in California. A Yes vote on Proposition 24 keeps class sizes smaller, fund children's healthcare and keep in place the safety net for the elderly and vulnerable.
With your support, we can secure $1.3 billion in funding by closing unfair corporate tax loopholes for a few big corporations.
Proposition 24, the Tax Fairness Act, ends $1.3 billion in special tax loopholes for big corporations that don't require the creation or protection of one single job in California.
Proposition 24 ensures that a few big corporations pay their fair share of state taxes at a time when state is making drastic budget cuts to public schools, health care and public safety.
Proposition 24 doesn't hurt California's small businesses, it ensures tax fairness so big corporations have to play by the same rules as the rest of us.
What Proposition 24 does:
- The initiative repeals a law that would allow businesses to shift operating losses to prior tax years and that would extend the period permitted to shift operating losses to future tax years.
- It repeals a law that would allow corporations to share tax credits with affiliated corporations.
- It also repeals a law that would allow multistate businesses to use a sales-based income calculation, rather than a combination property-, payroll- and sales-based income calculation.

My hopes for a tv adaption for "Pirhana 2" is forever dashed.
Well, 2018 is not happening. We havent announced a firm release date. What people have to understand is that this is a cadence of releases. So were not making Avatar 2. Were making Avatar 2, 3, 4 and 5. Its an epic undertaking. Its not unlike building the Three Gorges dam. [Laughs.] So I know where Im going to be for the next eight years of my life. Its not an unreasonable time frame if you think about it. It took us four-and-a-half years to make one movie and now were making four. Were full tilt boogie right now. This is my day job and pretty soon well be 24/7. Were pretty well designed on all our creatures and sets. Its pretty exciting stuff. I wish I could share with the world. But we have to preserve a certain amount of showmanship and were going to draw that curtain when the time is right.

While some families sit down for hearty home-cooked meals during the holidays, Food for Thought founder Tiffanie Shelton is just trying to keep children from being hungry while school is out.
"During Christmas break, some kids will miss well over 20 meals," she said.
Shelton founded Food for Thought three years ago when she was looking to volunteer somewhere with her children. After some "basic Googling" Shelton was startled at the statistics of what food insecurity looked like for children.
She then began a backpack program at Butler Elementary, which provides backpacks full of a weekend's worth of full food � typically some fresh fruit, a loaf of whole wheat bread, peanut butter and healthy snacks. In the non-profit's first year, she served 48 families.
"What we hope to do is meet basic needs so that the kids' minds and bodies can develop," Shelton said. "There's just no way a child can concentrate in school on an empty stomach."
Providing food to 2,000 students in Walton County and with the recent addition of Destin Elementary, Shelton said she is serving the underserved area.
"Government food pantries go to schools with more than 50 percent of children on free or reduced lunches," she explains. "I don't believe you can understand who is the hungrier child. A need is a need no matter where you live."
Shelton said she certainly sees the demand for the Food for Thought services beyond Walton and Okaloosa County, but says a lot needs to be done before the young non-profit can take that step.
"I would like to serve elementary to high school," she said. "And teach older kids a skill on top of giving them food � offer more comprehensive services, but that's still years away."
To enroll in the Food for Thought backpack program, children who receive free or reduced lunches go home with a permission slip to be signed by parents. The slips also help determine whether the child has any allergies. Once they are enrolled, backpacks are delivered every Friday, discreetly, to their classrooms.
In the past three years, Shelton has seen a steady rise in permission slips going home.
"With the increase, we are sending out as much food in a week as we were in a month last year," she said.
To help meet that need, Shelton relies on the community. Since Shelton is the only paid Food for Thought employee, volunteers help ensure that backpacks are filled with food and pantries are well organized. Organizations such as Destin Charity Wine Auction help supplement the non-profit's budget. Donations of food, money or even time is always appreciated.
"It takes the entire community to help each other," she said. "And I can't say enough to how helpful this one has been."
WANT TO HELP?: Donate, fresh fruit, fresh loaves of wheat bread, peanut butter, low sugar jelly, healthy snacks: granola/cereal bars or crackers, apple sauce or boxed raisins, canned chicken or tuna and instant oatmeal or non-sugary breakfast cereal to locations throughout Walton County: Good News UMC in Santa Rosa Beach, Little Red in WaterColor, Grayt Coffee in Grayton Beach or Pizza By The Sea in WaterColor.

a) been following the McCann story
b) don't speak German
and if you have been following the McCann story on-line you cannot help but have noticed what was going on over at the Daily Mirror forums. The Mirror site included a series of threads on the McCanns which morphed into a seething of hotbed of paranoia and theorising which frequently threw up some genuine nuggets of subversive information about how the mainstream media are managed and the many curious connections between politicians and professonal media-manipulators
The fact that a mainstream newspaper allowed these threads to continue was itself a cause for a whole clutch of theories - many of which focused on the possibility that some harvesting of the personal details of the participants was taking place
Conspiraloons and shills slugged it out on those threads for month after month, until a few days ago when the Mirror finally memory-holed the McCann threads.
As this happened shortly after Clarence Mitchell identified Frank Zappa as a possible abduction suspect and contributors to the threads had started making personal connections between the person who claims to have seen Zappa and the McCanns it is possible that there is some causal relationship
Anyway, attempts to resurrect the insane magic that was the Mirror McCann forum are underway here and here - the second seems to be the more successful so far (thx to C. for the links)

Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1316 Shows Aftermath of Cosmic Collision
This beautiful, eerie silhouette of dark dust clouds against the glowing nucleus of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 may represent the aftermath of a 100 million year old cosmic collision between the elliptical and a smaller companion galaxy.
A number of faint objects are scattered across the image, including both reddish galaxies in the distant background and bluer, point-like star clusters orbiting NGC 1316. These clusters, relatively loosely-knit swarms containing a few thousand stars each, are smaller and fainter than those found in other elliptical galaxies. These clusters are too old to have been created in the collision which produced the dusty debris we see today, and too young to have been torn apart by galactic tidal forces. The clusters may have been born in the course of a still earlier collision, or belonged to the galaxy which most recently fell victim to NGC 1316.
The picture was taken in April of 1996 with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. The color rendition was constructed using separate images taken in blue and red light. NGC 1316 is located 53 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax. The field of view shown is about 12,000 light-years across.

Since we're getting no takers on this one:
This is a scene from 1920, at 1501 Milan Road (between McKelvey St. and Sycamore Line, near the old IAB Club).
