Alone Yet Not Alone Disqualified from Best Original Song
For those of you who haven't followed the drama, there were two contentious points to this obscure nomination. First, and apparently, not the big problem, were questions of the films qualifications for Oscar consideration at all. Apparently it had only played in one theater in Reno, NV, and some questioned whether it had enough screenings in the first place. But that was not what ended up screwing the song out of an Oscar nomination. When it was discovered that one of the nominees was none other than Bruce Boughton, a former Academy governor and head of the music branch, there were some in the press, and apparently rightfully so, who questioned this nomination. After an extensive investigation by the Academy, it is reported that Boughton violated campaign rules, by directly emailing members of the branch to promote the film (a no-no as you all remember from The Hurt Locker situation a few years ago), and because of this they have rescinded the nomination, and do not plan on replacing it. Some will complain that that is unfair to that sixth place song, but at this point, it is just too much of an ordeal to add another song this late in the game when phase two campaigning has kicked into high gear (I know Oscar ballots are not out, but that is really a technicality). So we are left with a four-person Oscar race, that really feels like it could go three ways. In a statement, Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs stated, "No matter how well-intentioned the communication, using one's position as a former governor and current executive committee member to personally promote one's own Oscar submission creates the appearance of an unfair advantage." Unlike before where the producer's credit for The Hurt Locker stood, and he won an Oscar, I think the Academy did the right thing, and sent the right message by rescinding the nomination, basically saying: we will not tolerate this type of unfair campaigning, and if you ignore it, we will not just slap you on the wrist, but we will make sure that you don't do it again.

My Experience With 3D Printing
My Personal Creality CR-10
3D printing is a relatively new technology with awesome potential. It is very exciting and it is filled with so many possibilities. Recently, instead of taking a much needed vacation, I decided to invest in something very different for me. Not too many days ago, I bought a Creality CR-10S 3D printer. This model is not the most expensive 3D printer on the market, but it is also far from the cheapest. This machine is a great size for beginners who want additional space as the beginner becomes the intermediate.
3D Printed Object is the Green Plastic Statue
The Purchase
My adventures herein began when I decided to buy the 3D printer. The night prior, I got no sleep. I was like a child on Christmas Eve! I was so incredibly excited. I knew this would open up so many doors in my life, and make life so much more fun.
Homemade with Printer on LEFT; Store-Bought on RIGHT
I found a 3D print shop that would be open early in Delaware. I made the trip over to Printed Solid, Inc. I had some difficulty finding my way to the entrance (there are multiple buildings for the business it turns out), but I soon found my way in. Apparently, most people buy their products online. I do purchase online from time to time, but I prefer the ability to take home a product the same day (and without shipping charges!).
3D Printed Items are in Green
The man who I first spoke with was super kind. He was incredibly nice to me. This man was the owner. At first, I believe that he wasn't entirely sure what he should think of me (this is often the case when two people meet for the first time). However, after sharing some hours with me, he seemed to get much more comfortable. He was very informative and patient.
3D Printed Boat Made as Functionality Test
I purchased a completely set-up Creality CR-10S. The printers at this store can be bought built and ready. I still needed to be instructed on how to prepare the mechanism when I got it home (some cords needed to be removed for safe storage in the car), but it was only two pieces which needed to be connected once I arrived home. The 3D printers here can be purchased after being pretested for errors. Above is a photograph of an object which was printed on my machine as a test by the vendors of my printer.
Failed Attempts at Printing Death Whistles
Set Up
The primary issue that I had after purchasing this printer was that the control box momentarily slipped. After a short fall, something had gone wrong! After setting up all of the right wires a second time in my house (the first time was before the drop), I couldn't figure out why the bed wouldn't move. I later decided to use the special screw removers to check inside of the control box. I found what my problem was; two plugs had come undone while they were inside of the control box! 3D printers are amazing, but they do require a lot of patience.
Model of an Indian-Style Temple
Another example is the basic calibration of the machine. One should level the bed and then the nozzle before attempting one's first print. If the nozzle ever becomes too close or too far from the bed during printing, this can be a big problem.
Replica of a 15th Century Depiction of Vishnu
I personally downloaded Ultimaker Cura as the main software that I would use in conjunction with the remainder of the mechanism. Cura is free and relatively easy to use. One needs to find or create an object stl file, slice the file, and take it to the printer.
Miniature Plastic Statue on Shelf
Many variables can effect the final print, from how the stl file was sliced, the heat of the nozzle and the heat of the bed, the speed of the fan, to the speed the machine is set to run on. 3D printers are part of a craft that is very hands-on and experimental. Prints can take hours, and one may desire to try the same print on multiple settings to perfect the finalized work. Regardless, these things are super awesome in the end!
3D Printed Statue Miniature of Siddhartha
Final Thoughts
3D printers are a technology of the future. Numerous items can be made with them; houses, functional car parts, toys, shaped foods, pots, kitchen utensils, and so on. This new technology could lead to yet another end of manual work and suffering for those of us (the majority of United States citizens) in the lower portions of the economic strata.
Sped-Up 3D Printing in Action!
As washing machines and microwaves enabled mothers to go into the workforce, who knows what creativity people will get to with the additional energy future generations will hopefully enjoy!

When I saw that you tried to print a death whistle, i was hooked. When I get my own 3D printer it will definitely be one of the first things that I try to forge as well.
I love technology even the sort I do not understand. I wonder what the future holds? Could be in for fascinating times. Thanks for sharing your experience of 3D printing
Adrienne, I hope you get the chance to explore this fascinating hobby.
I remember when I first heard about 3D printing, but never really had a chance to try it. Thank you for posting your experience.
This is fascinating technology if it is used for good. Are the items you made plastic or paper? Are there choices of materials? I can understand why you were excited about this purchase.
We had been following this new technology but have not yet ventured into buying one so this is really interesting. I hope you will share more about your future projects.
Very interesting. We can actually rent/use one in our local library.

Bots come to the rescue as workers shun Japanese nursing homes
(Bloomberg) -- Faced with the worst labor shortage in decades, Japanese service companies are finally turning to labor-saving technology, an investment that could lift the sector's woeful level of productivity and allow them to raise wages.
While Japan's manufacturers are renowned for deploying advanced robotics, most domestic-focused services companies fell behind in information technology investment, put off by a stagnant economy, restrictive labor rules and a shrinking domestic market. But as the workforce declines and the nation ages, businesses in areas like nursing and retail have found it harder to attract and keep staff.
As Partners Co. is among companies looking to software for a solution. It plans to spend about 300 million yen ($2.7 million) to install new technology at its 15 nursing homes in and around Tokyo to make life easier for staff and residents. At its sleek new Asheim Nerima Garden home in the west of the city, caregivers can monitor the health of dozens of residents at a time from smartphones, receiving notifications if anyone so much as sits up in bed.
"Once we install this system in all of our nursing homes over the next three years, job turnover will likely decrease and then we'll be able to hire fewer workers," President Kenji Uemura said.
Investment in IT by service firms could help provide the elusive wage gains that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been seeking for years to revive economic growth. Software spending by non-manufacturers, particularly those in sectors with an acute labor shortage, is picking up "dramatically," helping to fuel a "long-overdue acceleration" in broader capital spending, said James Malcolm, chief Japan economist at UBS Group AG in Tokyo.
"As capex increases, productivity goes up, wages can go up, and consumption will follow," Malcolm said. "It's a key."
Medium-sized and smaller companies, particularly retailers, are driving the trend, which is accompanied by spending on research and development and employee training, Malcolm said.
Conditions are perhaps the most favorable in years. With exports and domestic demand improving, overall business investment grew 2.4 percent during the second quarter, the most in three years. Six straight quarters of economic expansion have pushed growth to an annualized rate of 4 percent. And a Bank of Japan survey in July showed that small businesses are finding it easier to gain access to capital for investment.
The upshot is that some analysts see a wave of spending on the horizon. Bank of America Merrill Lynch forecast IT investment to rise as much as 9 percent annually in coming years, with the difference in software investment per worker versus the U.S. falling to 5 to 1 by 2020 from about 10 to 1 now.
IT service stocks that may benefit include Fujitsu Ltd., Otsuka Corp., Trend Micro Inc. and NTT Data Corp., according to analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Non-manufacturing companies planned 2.4 trillion yen in software investment in the fiscal year ending in March 2018, according to the Bank of Japan's Tankan survey, released in July. That would be the most since 2009. Retailers plan to spend 146.4 billion yen on software this fiscal year, the most on record for data going back to 1999.
Convenience store operators Lawson Inc., FamilyMart Co. and Seven-Eleven Japan Co. are among those working with Japan's economy ministry to boost productivity. One of their goals is for all products nationwide, some 100 billion a year, to use radio-frequency identification for price-scanning by 2025.
No Humans Lawson is testing shopping baskets that enable customers to scan items as they drop them in, as well as an automated checkout system that would total the cost and bag the items. Customers could shop without ever interacting with human staff.
Yet Japan has a long way to go to catch up with other advanced economies. While its average manufacturing productivity growth was the best among the G7 countries in the two decades to 2014, its overall productivity was still the worst in 2015.
In the services sector, productivity was about half that of the U.S. from 2010 to 2012, according to data from the Japan Productivity Center. And ingrained employment practices for the nation's cohorts of "salarymen" mean change may come slowly for many white-collar jobs.
For less desirable occupations, Japan is slowly beginning to tap overseas labor markets. The number of foreign workers in Japan rose 19 percent last year, to top 1 million for the first time. But most are temporary workers, and Japanese leaders have ruled out opening the doors to full-scale immigration, which remains unpopular with the public.
That leaves the country with little choice but to invest in robots, software and automation to maintain its high living standards. Capital spending is the most important factor in Japan's productivity growth, Goldman Sachs economists wrote in a recent report. If investment doesn't rise in response to the labor shortage, the country is likely to enter a period of "persistent zero growth" in the 2030s, according to Goldman Sachs.
Izumi Devalier, head of Japan economics at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in Tokyo, said the labor shortage could turn out to be an opportunity, forcing Japanese service-sector companies to finally start investing, and perhaps fueling an economic revival.
"I think of it as the greatest chance Japan will get," she said.

just kind of a curiouse question. are there any games or applications that only work with older versions of dos? i ask because i've read a few sources that reccommend useing dos 5 over 6.22 but is this purely just for the sake of doing something diffrent or do some games acually run better in dos 5? is dos 6.22 much more taxing on say, a 386 pc then if you installed 5?

Aidan Leitch's Silicone 3D printing process
A few months ago we held a Contest whereby we challenged our community to develop a new 3D printing technology using an Ultimaker Original. 13 year old Aidan Leitch was one of the winners and attempted to make a Silicone 3D printing process.
You can download the files here on YouMagine.
Aidan made a Syringe extruder that uses a peristaltic pump to extrude a two part silicone into a basin to cure. The resulting shapes he's been able to create are closer to blob than Michelangelo but this is a very promising idea. There are many two component materials such as polyurethane & epoxy adhesives. If we could make it possible to print materials such as these reliably it would be a big step forward.
I asked Aidan about his project and he said that,
"One of the biggest issues was making a good syringe extruder. There were some designs already out there but none that truly fit what I was doing. The part that took me longest was making changes in Cura. "
What more work will you do to improve the project?
"To improve, I'd need to make a better syringe extruder (possibly a direct one, as opposed to using the filament to push the syringe) and also a better system for delivering the other part of the silicone mix. The peristaltic pump I used was really slow.
What results do you have right now?
As of right now, I have successfully had the printer add one part of the silicone into the basin of the other part and have them cure. To make it work better, I'd to make the previously mentioned changes (better syringe extruder and better delivery system) along with further tuning of the software. Many of the parts for the paste extruder are fully 3D printable and attach directly to the printhead. Besides this, there are the electronics/pump, the basin, and some changes in the software.
What did you learn?
I've learned quite a bit from this project! Here's some examples:
-How to read and write basic Gcode
-How to accommodate in software for physical issues (like friction in the syringe)
-Uncured silicone is messy stuff
Because it is all deliciously open source you can download and build on Aidan's project here.

- For the Arrow episode, see Star City Slayer.
- "Some people don't deserve to live."
- —Stanley Dover to Oliver Queen[src]
Stanley Dover is a psychotic serial killer who was incarcerated after committing several counts of murder and sentenced to Slabside Maximum Security Prison, being identified as Inmate 9922. There he developed an obsession for Oliver Queen, being inspired by his actions as the Hood, before becoming the Green Arrow.
After escaping from prison during a riot started by Ricardo Diaz, Dover went on a killing spree in Star City in order to prove to Oliver that he was the only one who truly understood him, with his actions leading the media to refer to him as the Star City Slayer, a nickname that he despised. However, Stanley was subdued by Oliver, putting an end to his killing spree, as he was soon taken into custody by the SCPD and sent back to Slabside.
Early life
Stanley was born in Central City into a dysfunctional household; regularly being abused by his father, a doctor who gave him "medicine" and tortured him in order to "correct him" when he was behaving badly or didn't listen. His mother agreed and often took part to his father's "corrections" over Stanley, while his older brother tried to defend him and often offered to be punished in Stanley's place, something that only made matters worse for him.[1]
Beginning of the murders
Over time, as Stanley's anger over his parents grew stronger, he gave them the same medicine that they'd given to him for years and "corrected" them for revenge, making them his first victims. When Stanley's brother found out about this, he tried to have Stanley sent to Arkham Asylum in order to potentially get help, but Stanley "corrected" him soon after as he "didn't have a choice".[1]
After this, Stanley murdered three other people, their friends and their families. His modus operandi being trying to be loved or impress someone he'd become obsessed with by murdering everyone he deemed harsh to that person and, if it doesn't work, kill the person he'd become obsessed with too.[1] After many investigations led by the CCPD (probably started before 2013 as Dinah Drake remember taking part on it) under the supervision of Captain Singh himself, Stanley was eventually caught, arrested and condemned for mass murder, including some children, deeming to his incarceration to Slabside Maximum Security Prison,[2] although he has never ceased, either during or after the trial, to declare himself innocent.[3]
Imprisonment and Oliver's "sidekick"
Stanley recognized Oliver Queen as the Green Arrow and attempted to gain his services for protection, but Oliver refused and told Stanley to leave him alone. The next day, following a fight where Oliver planted a shiv on Ben Turner, Stanley sat with Oliver at lunch, when Danny Brickwell and Derek Sampson showed up, still pushing for Oliver to join their three-man operation as a replacement for Turner. The two men beat up Stanley when Oliver continued to reject their offer, leaving Stanley at their mercy. Oliver soon apologized to Stanley as he was on the guard's radar and could not afford to have another strike to his name.
Stanley, angered that Oliver abandoned him, reminded him that he also had a family and insulted him for being a coward. Stanley later watched in the prison yard as Oliver beat up Brick and one of Ricardo Diaz's goons, the "Grim Reaper", seeming to have taken Stanley's words into account.[3]Stanley then started following Oliver everywhere and to consider himself "his sidekick".[4] After Oliver was released from a week of isolation due to what happened with "Grim Reaper", Stanley welcomed him back in the courtyard and complimented for his actions. After Oliver asked where the "Grim Reaper" is, Stanley answered that he was sent to Level Two of the prison but, as for the information he gained asking around, the goon doesn't know about Diaz's location. Oliver scolded Stanley for risking so much making question to the others convicts, but he reassured him that nobody tried to hurt him out of fear for "the Green Arrow" since he is "friend with him", then Stanley revealed to him that it was Brick who orchestrated Oliver's assault and asked him if he intended to torture him or gaining the information in a similar way, to which Oliver refused. When Brick asked Oliver to get rid of a guard, Peter Yorke, in exchange of information on Diaz, Stanley helped him to create a blackout near the showers in order to infiltrate the computer room to search for some dirt on Yorke and blackmail him, but to no avail, forcing Oliver to stab himself and blame the guard in order to get him transferred, while Stanley watched in admiration.[5]
The following day, during lunch, Stanley complimented to Oliver for having stabbed himself and for his resilience and assisted as Brick, honoring his part of the deal, revealed to Oliver that an inmate known as "The Demon" is Diaz's inside man, claiming he can arrange a meeting with said individual.
That night, as all the cells in the block opened, Stanley asked Oliver what's going on and, after the latter claimed he supposed it was due to Brick's influence over the guards, Stanley choose to follow Oliver to the meeting as it's the safest place for him to be. When they reached the supposed meeting place, they were ambushed by Ben Turner and two other man, but Oliver defeated them as Stanley steps aside. Stanley, Oliver and Turner subsequently infiltrated Brick's clandestine fight club, where Stanley assisted as Oliver defeated Derek Sampson and later attacked a guard in order to get transferred to Level Two, where "The Demon" is incarcerated according to Brick's information.[6]
Weeks later, while he was talking to an unidentified old man during his time of visits, Stanley recognized Oliver's wife Felicity as she was informed by the prison guards that Oliver's "visits privilege" has been revoked. Stanley drew the woman's attention to talk to her on the phone and introduced himself as Oliver's friend and sidekick, to which Felicity asked him to tell her husband that she got a lead on Diaz, however Stanley told her about what happened and that he can't inform Oliver since he was transferred to Level Two. After Oliver returned from said place, Stanley welcomed him and told him he met Felicity, referring him of the message from his wife.[4]
Revealing his true nature
On November 19, 2018, Stanley and Oliver were in the prison canteen having their meal, when they saw one of the guard, B. Dunbar, ostracize even Brick and his group, to which Stanley explained that after the clandestine fight club was closed the guards are no longer under Brick's payroll and Dumbar has become even harder on everybody. After he finished the sentence, Stanley watched Oliver being taken away by Dumbar due to having a visit with DA Laurel Lance.[7]
Later that night, Stanley murdered Dunbar in cold blood near the shower room and, for no apparent reason, tried to frame Ben Turner by planting his shiv on the wall.[2][7]
The next morning a group of guards entered Stanley's cell accusing him of the murder for being the last one who saw Dunbar alive, then they dragged him away in isolation while Oliver watched the scene speechless. Oliver then visited him in the isolation cell and asked if he was okay, to which Stanley replied that the guards took turns in beating him up trying to get a confession as they has yet to find the murder weapon. As Stanley repeatedly stated that he'd never hurt anyone, Oliver asked to tell him how they said Dunbar's murder happened, prompting Stanley to tell him he was killed in the showers and to swear that he wasn't even close to that room when it happened. After Oliver reassured him that he would help him, Stanley told him that he knew that if anyone could prove his innocence, that's the Green Arrow. A few hours later, Oliver found Turner's shiv hidden in the shower room and turning in the weapon, leading to the latter being sent into isolation despite insisting that he was the wrong guy.
That evening, during dinner, Stanley, freshly released from isolation, thanked Oliver for what he has done, saying that if Oliver hadn't found Turner's blade he would have been stuck in "the hole" for the rest of his life. Shaken, Oliver suspiciously asked how Stanley knew it was Turner's blade, since he was in isolation, but Stanley ignored the question stating that he "must've heard it somewhere".[7]
The following day, during the lunch, Stanley congratulated Oliver for being close to be released and asked if, once free, he could ask to his friend Laurel to do something for him too. However, Oliver coldly refused stating that he knew Stanley was Dunbar's real killer and that Slabside is where he belong. Stanley tried to point that he was his "best friend" to which Oliver replied they "were never friends". Upset, Stanley declared that he was simply doing what Green Arrow always do, leading Oliver to point out that he does not kill innocent people and Stanley to reply that he has hurt several of them since they met and that "prison change people", but Oliver firmly stated that it hasn't changed him and that as soon as he was freed he would assured Stanley would have faced justice for what he has done, as he deserve to spend all his life in prison.
After Oliver was visited by Ricardo Diaz few hours before his release, informing him he was going to start a riot to kill him first and then his wife and friends, Oliver broke out from his cell by creating an improvised explosive with bath products, Stanley witnessed it and pointlessly begged him to be taken with him but was ignored. However Stanley was then freed, alongside all the other prisoners, when Diaz unlocked all the cells in Slabside. He quickly hid into the infirmary and, as Oliver walk on it he sneak up on him and then used a sleeping drought to knock him down in order to tape him to a table so they can talk. Oliver tried to trick him by telling him that if he freed him, they could make a plan together and he would be his "sidekick", to which Stanley promptly replied that he already has a plan to escape through the morgue duct, as Oliver claimed that in doing so they would have left Slabside in the hands of Diaz, Stanley stated it doesn't matter since the prisoners deserved to be slaughtered by him.
After Oliver declared he couldn't leave all those people, Stanley started to get delusional, affirming that he never does anything wrong, that he just tried to impress him as he doesn't wanted him to think he was a monster like everybody said, and that all the people he killed, like Dunbar, had it coming. Realizing that Stanley was actually a serial killer, although he claimed they were not so different because of this, a disgusted Oliver freed himself from the tape, knocked him unconscious and locked him inside the infirmary.
Later Stanley somehow managed to get out from the infirmary and, knowing that the morgue is the only way out of Slabside, he went there, running into Brick, who was having the same idea to escape from the prison. Stanley killed Brick by stabbing him in the kidney from behind, stating he should have been nicer to him and, then, escaped from Slabside.[2]
Star City Slayer
Sometime later, Stanley traveled to Star City and settled in an abandoned homestead on the outskirts, beginning to follow Green Arrow's accomplishments, as well as to stalk and retrieving information on the former Team Arrow's members. Shortly after having moved, he started a killing spree paralyzing and then murdering people with the help of a rare drug known as "Mivacurium", leading to the media refer to him as the "Star City Slayer", a nickname he despised.[1] Also he started sending threatening notes to former Team Arrow members, starting with Laurel Lance (ignoring she wasn't that from Earth-1),[8] and then continuing with Dinah Drake, John Diggle and Rene Ramirez.[1]
One night, as former councilman Kullens (who previously worked for Diaz) was sleeping in his bed after getting released from prison for a month by far, Stanley quietly broke into his room and injected him with the Mivacurium. Kullens awoke in shock and asked him what he wanted but Stanley sliced his throat without any response, killing him.
After recognizing the killer's modus operandi, Dinah asked Captain Singh to gave her the file regarding the investigation taken over him years prior, so Curtis Holt was able to identificate the paralyzing drug as Mivacurium and, being a mix between Mercurium and other specific substances, to track down the killer's hideout searching for massives orders of said substances. At the abandoned homestead, while Diggle, Rene and Curtis found his old Slabside's uniform, realizing he was a former prison mate of Oliver, Dinah has an encounter with him during which Stanley managed to sneak on her and slice her throat (although she was later saved by Curtis' T-Spheres) right before escaping.
Stanley then proceeded to Oliver Queen's apartment paralyzing him, Felicity and William Clayton by spreading Mivacurium through the ventilation system. At first he acted calm introducing himself to William as Oliver's best friend and claiming to be the only one who truly understands Oliver and that that's why they needed to be a team, then he started to told them about his family history and how he despises being called "Star City Slayer", progressively and completely losing his temper, he finally stated his firm belief that "some people don't deserve to live", then shouting about how everyone had been so "mean" to him and that he had to kill everyone.
Stanley was then distracted mid-conversation by Felicity, who insulted him by declaring he is even worse than his father since he was the Star City Slayer, a furious Stanley tried to kill her but he was subdued and knocked unconscious by a still half-paralyzed Oliver, in the exact moment in which Diggle and Rene arrived at the place.[1]
Stanley was later taken into custody by the SCPD and subsequently sent back to Slabside.[1] It is very likely that Stanley's recent crimes; such as the murder of B. Dunbar, Kullens and two other victims, as well as the attempted murder of Dinah Drake, Oliver Queen, Felicity Smoak and William Clayton, has increase his prison sentence from several years, to life in prison.
Anti-Monitor Crisis
During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Stanley as well as everyone in the multiverse except for the seven Paragons, was killed in an antimatter wave by the Anti-Monitor on December 10, 2019.[9] A month later, after the Paragons and the Spectre created a new universe,[10] it remain unknown if he was restored as well.
- "You're the Green Arrow, and you fight bad guys, and you think I'm a bad guy. And you just think that I'm what everyone says that I am."
- "How could I? I don't - I don't know what people say."
"That I'm a killer, that I'm a monster, that everything I did, everything I did - that whole Dunbar thing. It was just like the Dunbar thing. I... I didn't have a choice! I didn't haven't a choice! And all those people had it coming."
- —Stanley Dover and Oliver Queen[src]
Even before Stanley's incarceration, he was already a sociopath to begin with, evidenced by the fact that he killed his parents due to how badly they abused him and then later killed his brother, when the latter attempted to send him to Arkham Asylum to get help. He then began to kill several innocent individuals, including some children which eventually led to Stanley's incarceration in Slabside Maximum Security Prison. His modus operandi is getting obsessed by an individual and then trying to be loved or impress him by murdering everyone he deemed harsh to said person and if it doesn't work kill the person he is obsessed with too. He also lacks any form of empathy, compassion, sympathy and remorse, as he believes that some individuals doesn't deserve life.[1]
As an inmate, Stanley is someone with survival as a priority, relying on Oliver Queen as his one chance to stay alive in prison,[3][6] he is also afraid of powerful criminals like Ricardo Diaz and Danny Brickwell, Stanley persistently views himself as unjustly hated, telling Oliver that he was imprisoned for crimes he didn't commit when he was in fact a serial killer and when his crimes were revealed he refuses to take responsibility and claims his victims deserved to die. Stanley is also incredibly childish in nature, initially displayed through a timidness and somewhat wide-eyed inquisitiveness next to outright joy to being Oliver's "sidekick" in Slabside was also revealed to be a completely disturbed trait of his personality as he murdered Brick solely for "being mean to him".[2]
Despite Stanley using Oliver for his own ends, he is still a big fan of the latter, often admiring his past actions as Green Arrow, even saying his iconic quotes like "You have failed this city" and giving him nicknames like "G.A.".[3][5] Stanley's admiration was later revealed to be more of an outright obsession with Oliver's past tactics of killing others as the Hood.[1][2]
Stanley's time in prison (5 years in Slabside Maximum Security Prison) clearly did not reform him, as evidenced by the fact that he killed B. Dunbar and then framed Ben Turner for the murder for no clear reason, as well as declaring that Slabside's inmates deserved to be slaughtered by Diaz as he always gave little-to-no importance for others' lives.[2]
Stanley lacks any form of logic; for example, he fails to realize that no sane individual will ever be impressed by the fact that he kills innocent individuals for them, even during his trial and imprisonment, Stanley still (delusively) believes himself to be innocent, unable to understand that he deserved to be imprisoned for his crimes.
Stanley's number-one goal in Star City is to make sure that he "corrects" those who he deems to be a threat to Oliver Queen's life, even to Felicity and William, by killing them. However, for those who call him by the name "Star City Slayer", he would threaten to kill them anyway.[1] He also can't stand individuals who don't listen to him.
Stanley is proven to be delusional; for example, he tried to justify killing his victims by stating that they were mean to him. He even tries to compare himself to Oliver who previously also has killed individuals. However, they are completely different; as Oliver had never killed innocent individuals.
- High-level intellect/Expert tactician: Stanley is a very intelligent and calculating serial killer, with exceptional observation and investigative skills, as he is capable of learning everything of his victim's life. As a serial killer, his elusiveness and ability to cover his tracks is so great that he escaped capture at the hand of CCPD for years, and even Dinah Drake, John Diggle, Rene Ramirez and Curtis Holt has difficulty in finding any sort of connections between his victims.[1]
- Expert of deception/Manipulator: Stanley is an exceptional liar, as he was able to deceive Oliver Queen for months making him believe he was incarcerated on Slabside Maximum Security Prison for crimes that he didn't commit.[2][3] However, when he killed B. Dunbar in trying to blame it on Ben Turner; Oliver was initially fooled, but he soon realizes that not only did Stanley really kill Dunbar, but he is also in fact guilty of the crimes (several counts of murder) that he was convicted of.
- Toxicology: Due to Stanley's familiar history, he is very proficient in toxicology as evidenced by him being able to create homemade "Mivacurium" (a paralyzing drug) by mixing Mercurium and other substances,[1] as well as to recognize and use sleeping drought in Slabside's infirmary.[2]
- Expert knife-wielder: As the "Star City Slayer", Stanley uses small blades to kill his victims, he was able to kill the much larger Danny Brickwell; however, it should be noted that at the time, Stanley only managed to kill Brickwell well the latter was not looking.[2] He even slash Dinah Drake's throat.[1]
- Stealth: Stanley has great skills in stealth. He was able to sneak up on Oliver Queen, however, it should be noted that Oliver's honed senses weren't in good condition at the time; during a prison riot start by Ricardo Diaz.[2] He also snuck up on Dinah Drake[1] without her noticing him.
- Predictable: Despite the fact that Stanley is an elusiveness serial killer, he is also proven to still have a degree of sloppiness; as he was eventually caught and arrested by the CCPD, and imprisoned in Slabside Maximum Security Prison. After he escape during a riot started by Ricardo Diaz, he went on a killing-spree again, although Dinah Drake, John Diggle, Rene Ramirez and Curtis Holt had difficulty in finding any sort of connections between Stanley's victims, but due to the mistake that he made by leaving his prison uniform in his hideout, they were not only able to discover his identity, but also who his next target was, Oliver Queen; proving that Stanley did not learn from his previous mistakes.
Former equipment
- Knife: Stanley carries a knife with him and as the Star City Slayer, it is his signature weapon.[1]
- Gas mask: Stanley wore a gas mask when attacking Oliver's home.[1]
- Syringe: Stanley used a syringe in order to inject a paralyzing poison, known as "Mivacurium", into his victims so that he can slash their throat without having them fight back.[1]
Season 7
- Stanley's codename is similar to Richard's "Starling Slasher", a villain based on the otherwise unnamed serial killer "Seattle Slasher" from the comics, who had victimized prostitutes, and encountered Oliver Queen and Shado in the mini-series Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters.
- The character of Richard was actually loosely based on the comic book version of Stanley Dover, murdering his victims with a ceremonial dagger.
- Stanley's signature weapon as the Star City Slayer being a knife is a reference of the ceremonial dagger used by his DC comic book counterpart.
- Stanley is similar to Carrie Cutter; as both are murderous, delusional, obsessive, and mentally unstable.
Behind the scenes
- In the main DC comics continuity, Stanley Dover is an amateur occultist who hunted and murdered young children to use their blood as a means to attract a demonic entity (revealed to be the same creature from Stanley and his Monster), eventually coming to be known as the "Star City Slayer". He crossed paths with Oliver Queen, whose body he had hoped to take over in order to further his cause; ultimately the man was killed by the demonic beast in revenge for the torture he inflicted to his own grandson, the creature's best friend Stanley.
- Stanley Dover was included in the original pitch for Arrow, then titled The Hunter. His original role was similar to Felicity Smoak's, described as "Brilliant but a bit eccentric. Our computer and technology savant. We'll learn that Stanley has a history with Oliver's father which explains why he's the first person Oliver recruits for his crusade."[11]

MotoGP stars defend Crutchlow's jump-start penalty
Leading MotoGP riders have said that Cal Crutchlow's controversial jump-start penalty in Argentina was justified according to the rules, but Valentino Rossi admitted that it was "very strict".
LCR Honda rider Crutchlow dropped to the back of the field in MotoGP's Argentina race after having to serve a ride-through for jumping the start, eventually finishing 13th.
Afterwards, Crutchlow was left outraged, saying he was only making small movements while balancing on his toe, and thus not gaining any advantage.
But the regulations allow no movement whatsoever while the lights go off, which is why top MotoGP riders defended the decision, even though they acknowledged Crutchlow did not gain anything.
"It is difficult," said Andrea Dovizioso when asked for his thoughts about the penalty. "It will be funny, the Safety Commission [meeting on Friday], it will be important to speak about that.
"The rules are clear. He moved a little bit when the race start. It was clear Cal didn't gain anything about that, and didn't do that on purpose, but the rules say, if you move, you make a mistake.
"I think is very hard to accept that if I was Cal I can understand how angry he is. It is bad to lose a race like this, really bad especially when your pace is good."
Argentina GP winner Marc Marquez added: "Of course Cal didn't gain anything, but the rules say if you move the bike, even on the opposite way, you will be penalised.
"It's the best way to have a solid rule, because if not, it's always, 'yeah, but he gained nothing'."
Rossi, while also agreeing with the need to have clear rules, called for making the penalty less severe, possibly by replacing the ride-through with the newly introduced Long Lap penalty.
He said: "For me the only way to have a clear rule is that you cannot move the moment before the start. If you start to speak about you gain something or how much you can move, after become very difficult.
"For sure they are very strict and Cal doesn't gain nothing, but if you see the camera, you see that he moved a little bit.
"I think that we can speak tomorrow about the penalty because Cal after the race said that the penalty, if you make the pass in the pit, you lose 35 seconds so is over.
"Maybe you can think to do a long lap. I don't know. But the rule is that you cannot move, so it's like this."

Workplace instant messaging between co-workers can be a great for communication. But if not used correctly, business chat tools can have a detrimental impact on productivity.
An overwhelming majority of people who use workplace instant messaging agree that there are benefits. A quick and easy communication tool like this can help reduce email and call volume between coworkers while enabling everyone to reach resolutions in basic circumstances much faster. It is also a great way to improve remote communication. Business instant messaging tools like Microsoft Lync can even display when users are available, busy, or what their status is so everyone knows what's going on.
However, with all of its potential benefits, if not used properly, workplace instant messaging can kill productivity. Our friends at Software Advice, a VoIP research group, recently did a study of employees across many different businesses that use instant messaging. One of the disturbing results of the study found that only 12% of respondents always or often received work related messages while about 40% rarely used their chat tool for work purposes and mostly got messages irrelevant to their job.
Another problem area with workplace instant messaging is when employees fail to update their away status. When on lunch or in a meeting, people in the study did fairly well keeping their presence updated. But when it came to all other scenarios like being on a break, being too busy to chat, or simply being out of the office running errands, less than half of users update their instant message tool. And when the tool isn't utilized properly in this manner, users agree that productivity dips.
Furthermore, another issue with workplace instant messaging was discovered when 70% of survey respondents replied that they found the chat tool distracting on some level when they had it set to available. So with these significant work-inhibiting issues surrounding business chat tools, how can you make sure employees correctly use instant messaging to enhance productivity rather than deal it a death blow?
Follow these workplace instant messaging best practices to keep productivity up:
1. Only use instant messaging tools in the workplace like Lync Secure Chat or other platforms that aren't open to outside users. This keeps employees from getting messages from friends or family with non-work related topics. You can establish who has access to the tool and even keep an eye on employee chat activity to make sure it isn't being abused.
2. Establish strict guidelines on when users need to update their availability. Employees from the study who saw the biggest productivity boost from using instant messaging in the workplace were diligent about updating their presence/availability status.
3. Don't let instant messaging completely take the place of phone or email. Business chat tools are great for a lot of things and can have plenty of benefits. But sometimes a simple phone call can get a lot accomplished more quickly. And sometimes there is just no substitute for a good email. Or if you are even in the same office as someone, it can be much more productive to just go have a quick one-on-one chat.
As long as you have the right business chat tool, set some good usage guidelines, and know when it's appropriate to use over other communication options, workplace instant messaging won't kill productivity. Instead, it will give office productivity a nice boost.

Christina has been making the paparazzi circuit 24-7 lately, generally with her poor son in tow, and her garish look is driving me crazy. The has-been diva's perpetually red lips complete the clown effect she creates with way too much eye makeup, orange foundation, and platinum blonde hair. YUCK.
The basic rule with red lipstick is that if you're going to do it, tone everything else down. Go low key with your hair and eye makeup. And if you're a platinum blonde, just avoid the red lipstick altogether unless you just really want to be mistaken for a hooker.

Vice Media, the hip millennial content factory, has suspended its president Andrew Creighton and chief digital officer Mike Germano after allegations that they engaged in sexual harassment of female colleagues.
The decision was announced via a staff memo Tuesday morning by Vice COO/CFO Sarah Broderick and follows a damning report in The New York Times detailing a toxic culture that fostered misconduct.
Creighton paid out $135,000 in 2016 to a former female Vice employee after she claims she lost her job after she rejected a romantic advance from him, according to the Times' investigation.
Despite the payout, Broderick wrote in her memo that the alleged incident involving Creighton was reviewed by an outside law firm and was "found to lack merit, but the company agreed to settle the matter in order to avoid the expense and distraction of litigation." Nevertheless, the company is still reconsidering his employment and will reach a decision before the company's Jan. 11 board meeting.
"In the meantime, Andrew has suggested, and we agree, that he remain out of the office on leave until the recommendation from the committee is made to Sr. management," Broderick's memo reads.
Multiple women have brought accusations against Germano. One former strategist, Amanda Rue, claimed that Germano told her in 2012 at a holiday party of the digital ad agency he founded that he declined to hire her "because he wanted to have sex with her." Another women claimed he put her hand in his lap without permission at a company event in 2014.
More than 20 female Vice employees were victims of or saw instances of sexual harassment, according to the NYT report.
The memo states Germano will be on leave while Vice's human resources department looks into the events with an external investigator.
Broderick also noted that the company will seek to have a 50-50 male and female employee ratio "at every level across the organization" by 2020 as well as pay parity by the end of the year.
The company's actions also follow a letter from disgruntled employees who demanded that Creighton lose his job after he was "found to have participated in abusive practices," the "collective of workers at Vice U.K." wrote.
"Mere words and promises are not enough if Vice is to convince contributors, partners, freelancers and most importantly the women in its employ that the company is changing," the letter states. "It is difficult to see how the company can demonstrate that when it is still being run by people who oversaw habitual sexual harassment and tried to buy the silence of those that tried to speak out," a Medium post from the Vice employees read.

E-cig regulation sought
Anticipating an increase in the use of vapor products after Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte expressed support to a measure to raise the excise tax on tobacco products, Health Undersecretary Eric Domingo warned the public against using vape devices, noting the products contain nicotine, which is addictive, and are not a "good" alternative to cigarettes, according to a GMA news story.
"Some people are trying to package it as a healthy alternative to tobacco or as lower risk product compared to tobacco," Domingo was quoted as having said during a news conference.
"Vape are nicotine-containing and they are addicting.
"We do not advocate the use of vaping and we want to strictly regulate it."
E-cigarette and vaping regulations would need legislation, but relevant bills currently remain pending in Congress.
Domingo proposed that vaping devices should be registered and checked for safety.
And the World Health Organization country representative, Dr. Gundo Weiler, earlier said that WHO supported the regulation of vaping.
Domingo said it was not known how many vape stores had opened in the country.

Ten years of armed conflict and perpetual insecurity have driven HIV prevalence in Côte d'Ivoire higher -- especially among women in the western zone on the Liberian border.

Just not where I want to be going.We ve got a terrible problem with Dragonlance, and that s the fact that the first 3 books were so darn good, and they were good because they were so negative and depressing and, wellworld ending.So you get a real twisted and tough canonical that s hard to do much with And boy, have they tried just about everything with Dragonlance but throwing the kitchen sink on the cover and having a gully dwarf come up the drain pipe 2016 maybe I like Dragonlance, I just didn t much like this book or the trilogy of books that dealt with a new world and cataclysm I didn t much like the New Generation.All in all, why can t I just have a time machine back to the early 80s, when things were simple 3.5Dragons of Summer Flame sonlar nda hekay nin ucunun nisb t n a q burax lmas bel bir seriya n t kan olub Bir eran bitir n v dig rini ba ladan Xaos m harib sind n sonra tanr s z Krynn v irql rinin kdiyi zablar N ya da kim oldu unu bilm diyimiz bir tanr var i in i ind , bunu da dayanmadan T k Tanr ya dua edin, o sizi xilas ed c k dey n m ridi Mina il bilirik D z , m n ciddi spoiler yemi m bu t k tanr haqq nda D Dragons of a Fallen Sun is the first book of the Dragonlance The War of Souls series and written by Margaret Weis Tracy Hickman in 2000.Like other Margaret Weis Tracy Hickman novels, reading this book is enjoyable It is nice to read good novels in Dragonlance world.Forty years passed after the Chaos War which destructs everything in Dragonlance universe Dragons have divided the continent and reigning the humans, elves and dwarves Magical powers are fading and gods have left the world.But there are some changes, a new god is emerging without a name Mina who is the priestess of the one god, the Nameless God become the leader of Knights of Neraka which was previously serving to Takhisis.Tas has traveled from back to the current time and find this future is different from what he has remembered The previous future world was much better, most of his friends are living, elves have united as a one nation, Palin was the head of the whites But in this new future everything is destroyed, there is no magic, elves are still fighting each other, Palin become a black etc.It s interesting to read a time travel themed Dragonlance novel. It took me a little while to get into this book because it starts with characters I don t know and ones who aren t very likable The story picks up when familiar characters come into play, and then, when Weis and Hickman go back to the characters from the beginning, I didn t mind as much The other reason this book is only three stars for me, though, is that much of it feels like exposition, not actual storytelling I want connection to action, dialogue, and the characters My favorite parts are with Tasslehoff, Gilthas, and Silvan because those parts have the most immediacy and development.I think Weis and Hickman do a good job of fitting their own vision for Krynn with Jean Rabe s story line They re kind of dismissive of some of her ideas, which bothers me, but I understand that she took their characters and world in a direction they may not have liked but had to work with Still, I grew to really like Rabe s world and characters, so that s a little disappointing Overall, I m curious about this series now I like the way the different threads come together in the end, and I m starting to become curious about Mina, a character I REALLY didn t like but one who is starting to make sense to me now I still don t care for her, and it s really annoying how everyone instantly falls in love with her and does anything for her I wish Weis and Hickman developed her power a little bit and made it less sentimental, but it got better towards the end All in all, I recommend this to DL fans, but you might be disappointed if you re expecting a story along the same lines and of the same caliber as the original Chronicles I think this story does suffer, and there s some repetition and lack of creativity Hopefully, that changes with book two Though it has been years since I have read this book, I still remember it fondly Set in the future of the original Dragonlance books it still holds the same quality of writing and the same epic quality A truly great fantasy read. It wasn t a BAD book per say, it s just that the ending left me kind of embittered, and I thought there were a few characters that just absolutely destroyed the book for me Mina As a disclaimer, I have always loved the combination of Weis and Hickman, but I couldn t really get behind this one Throughout the series, they just kept throwing character after character at the reader, introducing new story arcs, but not doing much with them, and I felt that the ending left quite a few loose strands, and you never get to find out or get any resolution about them It was well written, and a couple characters had me empathizing with them, since they had depth and were well developed Tas and Gerard , and the story being given through the eyes of the evil faction was pretty inventive as well I wanted to like this book , but it came short of my expectations. The first big trilogy from Weiss and Hickmann since Legends I have read it once and I think I have tried reading it a couple of times since but not really getting into it not sure why because this time around, I really liked it.A new player stands on the face of Krynn, Mina, a young girl, follower of the One God Able to predict the future, heal the sick and look into the hearts of people around her, Mina soon gets a huge following of Knights of Neraka and mercenaries.Meanwhile, Tas suddenly appears in Solace after being presumed dead for 30 years and a young knight, Gerard uth Mondar, travels with him to Qualinest to meet up with Laurana, Palin and the young king Gilthas Qualinest, being controlled by the dark knights, are not so easily entered but Gerard and Tas manages, setting events in motion they hadn t even dreamed of.In Silvanost, young Silvan, son of dark elves Porthios and Alhana Starbreeze, suddenly finds himself inside the shield the elves have risen to keep out everybody else and finds himself on the throne of Silvanost, a country rapidly dying because of the power of the shield.As always, Weiss and Hickmann manages to keep many storylines in the air at once and keeping you guessing as to what will happen and how it all will come together. The People Of Krynn Have Known War In Past Ages Some Are Still Alive Who Remember The Triumph Of Good At The Conclusion Of The War Of The Lance Still Remember The Devastation Of The Chaos War, Which Ended The Fourth Age Of The WorldBut Now A New War Is About To Begin, Terrible Than Any Have Known This War Is One For The Very Heart And Soul Of The World ItselfThe War Of Souls OK, guys, let s take everything that everybody liked about the Dragonlance setting and get rid of it That s essentially what happened with the introduction of the Fifth Age From what I hear, this same error was repeated in the Forgotten Realms setting nearly a decade later as DD moved forward into its 4th edition rule set.Although when I decided Dragonlance sucked now I just started reading Drizzt books, so you know whatever I have the young and dumb shelf for a reason. Top notch fantasy One of my favorite Dragonlance novels Full of mystery, psychology, humor, politics, and action Weis and Hickman are masters of writing from the point of view of the evil characters They are also excellent at creating flawed, ambiguous characters.This book won t be very enjoyable or completely understandable unless you ve read most of the prior major Dragonlance novels at least the Chronicles trilogy, the Legends trilogy, Second Generation, Dragons of Summer Flame, and the Dragons of a New Age trilogy.
Fantasy novelist who, along with Tracy Hickman, was one of the original creators of the Dragonlance game world I ve written numerous novels and short stories set in the world of Krynn, as well as series in other, original worlds These include Darksword, Rose of the Prophet, Star of the Guardians, DeathGate, Dragonvarld, Sovereign Stone, Dragonships, and the Dragon Brigade I also wrote two para

Man accused of spraying feces, urine on supermarket salad bar
A disgruntled South Carolina man sprayed a mixture of his own feces and urine on a supermarket salad bar because the store owed him money, authorities said.
Pau Suan Hang was arraigned on federal charges Wednesday after police said he admitted to mixing the foul concoction in his vehicle before heading inside a West Ashley Harris Teeter in October.
Surveillance video from inside the grocery store showed the 41-year-old man spraying the substance on the salad bar, sushi bar and produce, WCSC reports.
Hang also allegedly sprayed the foul-smelling liquid on items in the deli food area and the prepared food bar.
About $3,000 worth of food was ruined, authorities said.
Police were called to the store and Hang was arrested on state charges and held on more than $200,000 bail, according to the Post and Courier.
He was arraigned on federal charges Wednesday after the liquid tested positive for fecal matter.
A grand jury indicted him Dec. 13 on two federal counts of tampering with consumer goods with reckless disregard to people and two counts of tainting products with intent to damage a business.
Authorities said Hang worked as a third-party contractor for Harris Teeter and claimed the grocery store "owed him money."
Hang, who is listed as homeless in court records, was placed on trespass notice at the West Ashley supermarket but was arrested at least seven times for violating it.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
