Just when I think I know everything about a particular subject, I'm proven wrong. Last year I wrote a blog claiming to contain information on every Dukes console video game available. I wrote about the ColecoVision game from the Golden Era, and the Playstation, Game Boy, PS2, and X-Box games from the Silver Era. I thought I covered them all. But I was wrong. I was talking with some fellow Dukes fans on twitter when Luxor the Moonprince (@Prince_Luxor) told me about a U.K. produced version of the Dukes on a system I wasn't aware of.
The system is called the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k. According to the ol' internets, the original Spectrum was among the first home computers in the United Kingdom and comparable to our Commodore 64s. The 48k was a later model with updated specs.
Luxor told me that the game isn't uncommon and pops up on ebay often. Somehow, after all these years of scouring the great bay filled with e, I've missed this particular piece of memorabilia. There was one on there when I checked and it wasn't in the best shape, but I'd never seen it before and it was cheap so I pounced on it.
Your first thought might be the same as mine...it's a cassette tape! I won't act like I know how this stuff works. I used to think that Michael Jackson was singing Thriller live somewhere every time I hit play on my little brown Fisher Price tape player. I was probably four. I do know from experience that you can unravel a VHS tape and it goes about the length of the Brownsville Area High School from the TV Lab down to the end of the Freshman building and about half way back. Remember that Jeff? The principle wasn't all that happy about that. But how you can get a video game on a cassette tape? I guess it just confuses me because I think of retro games being cartridges...thanks Atari and Nintendo.
The tape is in better shape than the package. The label has a few little stickers on it and something torn off the bottom left.
A logo or something was taken off the bottom. The proper copyright information is on the bottom along with a release year of 1985. The story, controls, scoring, and gameplay are all detailed on the inside of the label. The story mentions Rosco and his police force. Rosco is unfortunaly spelled wrong, (Roscoe) and his force includes Jethro, an ace helicopter pilot, Jake and his veteran monoplane, and Cletus the balloonist. What?!!? 1985 was the last year of the show. Cletus had been off the show for a few years. I wonder is it was just a coincidence that they made a character up named Cletus. It also mentions that you have to watch out for Boss Hogg in his station wagon. Weird stuff.
You know I had to put this cassette into a regular old tape player to see what happens. I uncovered the old stereo in the garage and popped the tape in. Nothing happened. The play button wouldn't press down and I could barley get the tray to open to get the tape back out. I don't know what I expected to happen. Perhaps some secret message containing the whereabouts of a long forgotten cache of hidden Dukes memorabilia would play. A collector can dream.
It only has a label on one side.
Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, I found the World of Spectrum which has ton of information on every game released for the system. They have a page dedicated to the Dukes game with ads, reviews, roms, and screenshots of the game. I borrowed quite a few below.
In the last big video game post, I linked to videos that I made of each game's gameplay. I went to painstaking lengths to procure a driving wheel module for the ColecoVision, but I don't think I can find a Spectrum 48k at the Game Vault. They are opening another location nearby, but I still doubt it. The above gif showing the menu screen is from World of Spectrum. Given the release year, this game seems comparable to Nintendo games rather that Atari and Coleco. The graphics seem years ahead of the first Dukes game.
The General Lee has an 01 on it, and Rosco's car is recognizable. There seem to be a bunch of other random vehicles in the game like hot air balloons, dune buggys, motorcycles, and helicopters. It looks like it might have been another driving game first, and then the Dukes license was added to it.
Luckily, a like minded Dukes enthusiast recorded some gameplay and added it to youtube. The Dixie horn starts the game off. It's worlds above the Coleco game.
World of Spectrum also has several reviews of the game. These are great to read now knowing how far video games have come. Many reviews didn't like that you had to continuously tap a key on the keyboard to accelerate. Another reviewer said up until this game, the greatest achievement of Elite, the company behind the game, was the hologram on their packaging. That's pretty funny. Perhaps that's what was ripped off of my copy. Most reviewers didn't like the game.
Below are several reviews and ads from World of Spectrum.

The Alcoholic/Addicts Art of Self Sabotage
Personal self sabotage can be second nature to the alcoholic/addict
Posted Sep 10, 2012
Today was my ex-husband's birthday. I tell you this not because he is a famous sports hero, international movie star or political head of state. He is (actually was once) just a plain, caring, fun loving man. Years ago I fell in love with this man who had a boyish, mischievous sparkle in his eye, a partner that loved dogs, noodles and butter and me. We lived in a beautiful part of the country where the ocean and mountains were at our doorstep, our house was warm and inviting, we cherished each other's company and our friends and family were welcome any time. Life was good.
I knew when I met my ex-husband he was in recovery. He had long been a self proclaimed alcoholic with fits and starts in a myriad of recovery programs, but this time he professed that he had his addiction well under control and with the help of his AA 12- Step program and me the beckoning devil of alcohol was firmly arrested.
We waited a few years to get married as I wanted to make sure that his road to sobriety was now his life style and not just another hopeful goal.
I am sharing this with you because shortly after our marriage (and what seemed to me for no apparent reason) he began sabotaging our relationship and his own world as well. Self sabotage started picking away at his core and the more the picking; the more he was reverting into his own world and what he once knew. Eventually and inevitably his behavior became more mercurial and with that the situation that I most feared was upon us. Relapse.
One relapse turned into two, three and God knows how many more. By then I couldn't live with his unpredictable life style and sadly we went our separate ways.
My ex-husband is 51 years old today. Once upon a time, he so successfully sabotaged his life that he no longer had the beautiful home, loving wife, friends or family; he so successfully sabotaged his life that he no longer had a job where his employers and co-workers respected and cared for him; he so successfully sabotaged his life that he soon was out of money and became homeless, and as he had once his belongings were in a paper bag. It breaks my heart.
So what motivates an individual to purposely put an invisible, destructive gun to their head, and pull the trigger time and time again? As "normies" or healthy ones, we can't imagine how anyone can go down such a path that would deliberately obliterate everything that they/ we hold so near and dear.
Sometimes, when alcoholics start to get a handle on their recovery, or the going gets too good, they sabotage it. Though they freely admit that they are healthier and feel better, this newway of life can feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable no matter how hard they try accepting a clean, sober and enjoyable life style. They have known one way for so long (probably a destructive path, but oddly familiar and comfortable none the less), it's exceptionally hard to shake old habits, thoughts and actions.
They might have difficulty trusting that their new life is good, that they've earned it and worked hard to get there, and it will continue to remain so as long as they stay on a clean and sober path. Alcoholic / addicts may not feel they deserve some of the good things that are happening to them, and this can be at the root of their self-sabotage. In addition, the expectations of others that they will "keep up the good work" can be a lot of pressure.
However, too often, with the slightest hiccup or a continued barrage of hiccups, (whether real or imagined) they retreat to what's familiar, even when they know it's detrimental or may produce substantial wreckage. The ups and downs of life that the "normie" experiences and can work through become monumental hurdles to the alcoholic/addict and life on life's terms can be so daunting and overwhelming, their thinking tells them to bail at whatever cost.
I can look back at our relationship and see that the more I was confident in persevering my dream, the more he was getting lost. The lack of creativity and fortitude he thought he needed in order to keep in step with me started to chip away, slowly at first and then faster and faster as his own self esteem and confidence started to take a downward spiral.
I tried very hard to down play my own self assurance and heap shovels of positive reinforcement on him as it pertained to any goal, dream or idea he had. Whether it was to quit his job and find something more fulfilling, or to go back to school. But, in actuality being his own personal cheer leader only made matters worse. He once said that I was just too good and that he wished he could be like me, but couldn't. I was damned if I did, damned if I didn't. He had an invisible, secret calling to self sabotage our life and his life; and he succeeded.
I believe that the alcoholic/addict knows when they are on the road to self sabotage. They know that their behavior will result in substantial and probable irreparable damage. Their credibility, accountability, reliability and dependable will be shot to hell and like a car out of control they can't bring themselves to hit the brakes or pull to the side of the road.
The alcoholic / addict may justify their plan of self-sabotage by roping you into the scenario.Comments like "It's all your fault", or"you won't do what I need you to, or "I'll show you", or my favorite, "you'll be sorry."
Deep down inside they realize that using you as a dart board for their actions is ridiculous, and that they alone are responsible for their own proceedings. However, pointing the finger at someone else as the catalyst for this reckless behavior makes it palatable and gives them fuel to follow through with their intentions.
So, if you are in a relationship with someone who is hell bent on playing Russian roulette with self sabotage, know that there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, and you will drive yourself crazy trying to appease. Moving locales, expanding your family or switching from Republican to Democrat will not change anything; or if it does, it's only for a brief moment. It's solely and completely up to the alcoholic/addict to take and keep control of their life; whether in a strong and resilient recovery program or the slippery slope of relapse and self destruction.
A hopeful birthday wish for my ex-husband is that one day he will once again realize how good life can be and that the companionship of sabotage is truly no companionship at all.

Well I didn't die. Thank you Jesus!
I am amazed how much I took my arm for granted. I will have full use of it soon, but it is so weird how great of a loss one surgery does to the muscles in your shoulder! I just hope that after all of my therapy is done, the pain will all be gone too.
During my Vicodin filled days, I have been keeping my brain moving with Sudoku! Unfortunately they are all difficult to read since I had to use my left hand. I am practically ambidextrous now!
I have had so many people taking wonderful care of me! I so greatly appreciate how much people helped me.
Also, many of you were worried about how well Justin would take care of me. I was pleasantly surprised how amazing Justin was! Despite teasing me about dying and having the abilities of a 5 year old, he has been so great. I love him so much and am so blessed to have him. I have had a great look towards our future during this time and have seen how great of a father he will be.

While we never expect there to be emergencies during VBS, the very definition of emergency is an "unexpected" situation. An important part of VBS training is emergency preparedness that insures every member of the VBS team knows how to respond and who to contact.
Before the first day of VBS make sure every member of your team knows the answers to these six questions:
1. Where is the First Aid Kit and/or nurse located?
2. What do I do in case of a fire, tornado, or other emergency?
3. What is the church's child and worker protection policy?
4. How am I expected to handle behavioral issues?
5. Who should I notify if a child becomes unaccounted for?
6. What are the proper dismissal procedures and expectations?
Join the conversation. What additional questions should every member of the VBS team be able to answer?
Jerry Wooley, @vbsguy, has served as LifeWay's VBS Ministry Specialist since 2006.

Debeasy - Read .deb File Metadata in Ruby
As part of a script to manage apt repos at $dayjob, I realised it would be nice to have a way to read
Debian package file metadata from the file without having to parse the output of
dpkg and friends.
Enter Debeasy.
It's a very simple gem to extract package metadata. You can also find it on Rubygems.

One of the appealing things about these online quizzes that people do is the delightful false presuppositions they make. The one I just completed, for example, asks, "Which Canadian Supreme Court Justice are you?" And of course I'm not any Canadian Supreme Court Justice, but the quiz informs me that if I were, I would be Madam Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dubé:
You are the Honourable Madam Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dubé. (83.7% match)
Born: 1927, Ville de Québec, Québec
Appointed: 1987
Retired: 2002
Key word: "opinion"
Your opinions on our sample cases reflect consistent respect for the rule of law, with the Supreme Court as highest authority. You were always willing to express an opinion on how things should be resolved, instead of leaving it to other bodies to decide. Sometimes your colleagues agreed with you, as in Harvard College; more often not, as in Trinity Western.
Which Canadian Supreme Court Justice are you? v0.1 by mskala
And I'm also not too far off being Madam Justice Louise Arbour! Here are my full results:
This is one of the niftier quizzes I've seen; it gives you very brief summaries of questions from real cases decided by the Sprinkler, and lets you choose from among the actual Justices' opinions. (The majority opinion is marked as such, but the positions of the individual Justices are not identified until after you've submitted your answers.) So it's based on something a little more substantive than your favourite colour.
There are some drawbacks to its scoring method, I think, though. Not all the Justices were involved in all the cases, so there are differing numbers of opportunities for the quiz-taker to match or differ with each one. And there doesn't seem to be any attempt, in cases in which there were more than two opinions, to take into account how similar or different two separate opinions were. I think these two things explain why I ended up being judged as completely unlike Madam Justice Marie Deschamps (who replaced L'Heureux-Dubé in 2002 and, the quiz author suggests, may have "inherited the job of Devil's advocate" from her): she was involved in only four of the ten cases covered by the quiz, and in two of those, I picked opinions that favoured the same outcome as hers, but for different reasons.
Anyway, it's a pretty interesting and thought-provoking quiz (especially for those of us who are geeky that way), and I tip my hat to mskala for writing it and to wolfa (a.k.a. Mr. Justice Louis LeBel) for bringing it to my attention.

Over 2 million people flock to Cornwall every summer and the majority take at least one day out of their schedule to visit the seaside. Due to the shape of Cornwall, the beach is never all that far away. Many beaches have recently improved their facilities, a kiss-me-quick hat and a bag of chips have been replaced by fine eateries and excellent restaurants. There are some world-class surfing venues and other watersports such as wind surfing, sand yachting and even coasteering, are now well organised and accessible.
166 Cornish beaches
With 166 beaches to choose from, all types of visitors are catered for. Explore below to find the best place to surf, the most family friendly beach and much more.
Magnificent beaches of Cornwall
North Cornwall Beaches
North Cornwall's beaches are amongst some of the best in the Duchy. Open to the Atlantic storms the dramatic cliffs have been eroded over the years into a number of coves and bays offering stretches of fine sand. Some are backed by towering cliffs, others by rolling sand dunes or towans. The beaches of North Cornwall offer some of the best surfing spots in the Southwest. There are family friendly beaches with large expanses of sand on which to play. There are a number of excellent restaurants overlooking the beach such as at Watergate Bay. Several small coves are accessible if you are prepared to stretch your legs along the coast path. Our Top 3 beaches are Harlyn Bay, Watergate Bay and Daymer Bay.
East Cornwall Beaches
The beaches of East Cornwall include an area stretching from St. Mawes, near Truro to Cawsand and Kingsand near Plymouth. Encompassing the coast of the Roseland Peninsula, through Mevagissey and Fowey to Polperro and Looe, entering the beaches that comprise Whitsand Bay as they arc around to the Rame Peninsula and ultimately Plymouth. In general, at the western end of the section, the beaches are largely sandy but trend towards shingle as you progress eastwards. There are some sandy beaches, notably at Pendower west of Nare Head, Porthluney Cove, near Caerhays and at Pentewan. The beaches at the eastern end of this section that make up Whitsand Bay are also sandy and well worth a visit if staying in South East Cornwall. Suggested beaches to visit include Pendower, Pentewan and Long Sands Beach.
South Cornwall Beaches
The beaches of South Cornwall including the Lizard Peninsula, offer a variety of styles. At the western end of the section lie the beaches of Porth Chapel and Porthcurno, with their fine golden sand, to the east near Penzance, the sand becomes a little coarser due to the sheltering affect of Mount's Bay. The westerly aspect of the beaches between Praa Sands and Lizard Point has coated the beaches once again with glorious fine golden sand, ending in arguably the most spectacular beach in Cornwall at Kynance Cove. To the east of Lizard Point, the beaches are more sheltered and so many see a return to shingle graduating into pebbles although there are some sandy beaches, notably at Kennack Sands and Maenporth, near Falmouth. The Helford and Fal Estuaries at the eastern end of this section offer river beaches of fine shingle, and the many creeks often have secluded beaches of their own. This area in general offers a gentler style of beach for those visitors requiring relaxation or solitude. Some of the best beaches are Kynance Cove, Porthcurno and Gyllyngvase.
West Cornwall Beaches
West Cornwall also has some of the best beaches in the County. The majestic granite cliffs of West Cornwall have been pulverised into fine golden sand. Many beaches stretch for miles along the coast such as between Hayle and Gwithian and at Perranporth. Sennen Cove offers the westernmost beach in Cornwall, whilst St. Ives is ringed by beaches - each offering something a little different. At the eastern end of this section lie the beaches of Newquay, another town with a wealth of beaches on its doorstep. There are secluded coves such as at Polly Joke and Chapel Porth. Rolling sand dunes back many beaches, their undulating nature offering shelter in which to 'catch some sun' or hold that family barbecue. The Atlantic Swell is at its strongest here and surfing is an integral part of most beaches: Fistral Beach at Newquay and Gwenver Beach at Sennen being possibly the best surf venues. Several resorts have upgraded their facilities to offer fine places to eat overlooking the beach, such as at the Porthminster Cafe at St. Ives. Our recommended beaches are Porthminster, Great Western Beach and Whitesand Bay.

text: INFORMATION SHEET No.A-0175(I) Date. 19-10-97 MANDALAY PALACE RECONSTRUCTED (by - Dr. Khin Maung Nyunt) When the British annexed the last Myanmar kingdom and deported the last Myanmar royalties King Thibaw and his Chief Queen Supayalatt to India in 1885, Mandalay Palace was ransacked and occupied by the British forces. Royal audience halls, throne rooms and Chambers were turned into garrison church, club and military quarters and barracks. For nearly 18 years (1885-1901) the whole Palace complex was subjected to vandalism, abuse, and neglect. For lack of care and maintenance some buildings on the palace platform fell into dilapidation and destruction. In 1901, a turning point came when Lord Curzon' the British Viceroy of India arrived in Mandalay during his official tour. Much to his disappointment he found Mandalay Palace in a pathetic condition. Although Lord Curzon was an out-and-out imperialist, supporting the " forward policy" of the British Government of India, he left oriental art and architecture which he tried to preserved. He issued a minute dated 2 December 1901, "on the preservation of the Palace at Mandalay". All occupants of the Palace were ordered to move out as early as possible, and the church and the club were given notice to quit and alloted new sites. The Public Works Department was assigned the task of repairing, renovating and maintaining the Palace in its original design, with a budget specially alloted. Curzon's intention was that "its (Palace) survival and maintenance are both a compliment to the sentiments of the Burma race, showing them that we have no desire to obliterate the relics of their past sovereignty and a reminder that it has passed for ever into our hands." So, since then Mandalay Palace had remained for 44 years (1905-1945) as a museum piece for the British, and foreign visitors, but for the Myanmar peoples as a reminder that Myanmar sovereignty which had passed into the British hands was to be redeemed one day. In the final phase of the Second World War, Myanmar again suffered heavy damage and destruction. As the Allied forces advanced and the Japanese retreated, both parties bombed Myanmar cities and towns indiscriminately. In 1945 the Allies shelled and burnt down Mandalay Palace which was occupied by the Japanese soldiers. Till 1989, there were only a few charred brick buildings left on the palace platform because the Palace was mainly built of teak, gilt, vermillion and glass mosaic which were destroyed easily by the fire. Under the guidance of the State Law and Order Restoration Council, the Commander of the Central Command carried out the reconstruction of Mandalay Palace on its original model. Based on photographic records, plans and drawings of the Palace kept at the Department of Archaeology, modern engineers and Myanmar traditional architects combined their efforts to reconstruct the last residence of Myanmar monarchy. Tremendous amounts of cash flowed in from the public (especially from Mandalay Division) for the noble task of restoring Myanmar's past glory as an inspiration for building a new modern nation. To-day over 95 percent of the reconstruction has been completed and the entire Palace is open to visitors. Officially named "Mya Nan San Kyaw" golden Palace, it was built by the second last Myanmar sovereign King Mindon (A.D. 1853-78). King Mindon moved his Capital from Amarapura to Mandalay which he founded in 1857. He therefore moved the golden spired palace "Aung Nan San Thar" from Amarapura to Mandalay. The new palace town at Mandalay was named "Yatanabon". It was a square, measuring 600 tars (2400 cubits) on each side, totalling 2400 tars (9600 cubits) for four sides. It had 12 gates, 3 on each side, and 48 spires on the town walls. There were 144 square blocks of living quarters inside the palace town. In the centre of the palace town, on the site of 16 square blocks was the palace platform fenced by walls of massive teak trunks. The palace platform measures 1004 feet from East to West, and 574 feet from North to South. On the platform stood 144 buildings mainly of teak in which the royal families resided and ceremonies and festivals were held. "Myey Nan Taw" or the principal Lion Throne room and two Audience Halls, each on either side of the Lion Throne room combined is the most important and prominent building. It is the tallest building on the palace platform. It is 207 feet high facing East, and topped by a gilt 7 tier spire on the roof. The Royal stairway was a flight of steps at the extreme Eastern end of the palace platform. There were similar steps at the extreme Western end of the palace platform. The palace platform was divided into Eastern and Western portions. The Eastern portion was reserved for the King and male members of the royal family and the court; and the Western portion for the Chief Queen and female members. Buildings in the Eastern portion belonged to the King and male members and those in the Western portion belonged to the Chief Queen and female members. Next to the Myey Nan Taw were four main halls in which vassal kings and lords paid homage and tribute to the King, thrice a year. There was Western Zeytawun Hall in the Western Portion which was reached by a flight of steps on the Western end of the palace platform, with four main halls in which their Majesties received homage and tributes from ladies and wives of Ministers and high officials. In the Eastern Zeytawun hall next to Myey nan Taw were kept for royal worship gold images of the Buddha and statuettes of deceased forefathers of the King and Chief Queen. There were houses for keeping the royal crowns and regalia, the King's sleeping Chamber called Glass Palace and the sleeping chambers of four Chief Queens. On the north of them were the Byedaik of Meeting Room of the interior Ministers and the house for keeping royal headgears. On the South was the Treasury where Crown jewellery and important documents and records were kept. Two royal stairways, one on the north and the other on the south sides of the palace platform have each a minor hall called Myauk Samot on the North and Taung Samot on the south in which their Majesties performed other functions. Between the Glass Palace and the Western Zeytawun Hall were six rows of 78 houses for the lesser queens. In King Thibaw's time, some buildings were demolished and instead the Palace tower, royal bath with fountains, brick meeting hall and summer house were added. But the total number of buildings on the palace platform was 144, the same number as in his father's time. The eight most important function halls are the so-called throne rooms. There were eight different kinds of thrones in different rooms. First the Lion Throne or Sihasana Throne is the throne in the niches of which are stylized and gilt statuettes of lion. It is in the Myey Nan Taw. Hluttaw or King's Privy Council also had a lion throne. The other seven are Gazasana throne with elephant statuettes, Hamsa Sana throne with Brahmany duck statuettes, Maruya sana throne with peacock statuettes, Miga Sana throne with deer statuettes, Bamaya Sana throne with bee statuettes, Sankha Sana throne with conch shell statuettes and Paduma sana throne with lotus flower statuettes. In each throne room specific royal functions and ceremonies were performed. The Reconstructed Mandalay Palace "Mya Nan San Kyaw" represents Myanmar sovereignty and independence and awakens national pride in our Myanmar cultural heritage. *****************

Lady Gaga Releasing New Version of 'Do What U Want' With Christina Aguilera
R. Kelly, out! Xtina, in! Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera have teamed up for a new version of Mother Monster's 'ARTPOP' hit 'Do What U Want.' It's the Xtina remix!
Or we can call it 'Deux What U Want,' since it's another (or second) version of the song, the Rick Ross remix version, which you can listen to here, notwithstanding.
The original, recently inducted into the Pop Clash Hall of Fame, features R. Kelly as Gaga's sultry duet partner.
However, Gaga performed it with Xtina on the Season 5 finale of 'The Voice' earlier this month. The blonde divas, who previously beefed in the press, sipped champagne and vocally dueled while wearing matching white outfits on the reality show.
The live version was hotter than lava, so we're not shocked that they are making a commercial version of the song available. Just Jared reports that it is a studio version. So far, no word from Gaga or Xtina about the version.
Unless, perhaps, the tweet and photo Xtina posted on Dec. 24 aka Christmas Eve was the special something she spoke of? Could be!
The track will be available tomorrow, Jan.1, as per Amazon. It's a New Year's Day present.
Relive Gaga x Xtina here.

Cal's College of Engineering is organizing the Oct. 17 and 18 event, titled "Crowdfunding: Setting the Research Agenda."
The University of California, Berkeley, did host an international academic conference on crowdfunding next week.
Cal's College of Engineering is organizing the Oct. 17 and 18 event, titled "Crowdfunding: Setting the Research Agenda."
Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) Chief Economist Hal Varian will speak at the event, as will Jason Best and Sherwood Neiss of Crowdfund Capital Advisors. Julia Groves, managing director of the UK Crowdfunding Association, will also talk.
UC researchers are interested in crowdfunding — a relatively new way of raising money for businesses or other ventures via appeals on social networks — particularly in the wake of the federal Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups Act, which relaxed some rules on how companies can ask for equity investments.
Richard Swart, who leads crowdfunding research at Cal's Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership, which is hosting the symposium, said part of the focus on the conference will be on "mechanisms to protect new investors."
The World Bank will also put out a new report on crowdfunding — which Swart himself helped to write — at the event.
Money from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation helped pay for the event.
Read the agenda for the conference here.
Steven E.F. Brown is web editor at the San Francisco Business Times.

Cameron to axe housing benefits for feckless under 25s as he declares war on welfare culture.
Mail on Sunday headline, 24th June 2012
Have you ever wondered how much feck you possess? Don't worry – you don't need to know what feck actually is. Me, I haven't got a fecking clue. However, I still have a pretty good idea that feck-wise, I'm doing better than most of my neighbours.
I live in a former council house on a poor estate. We could have bought a much smaller house in a different area – one with a far higher concentration of feck – but this was the house we wanted (it's big and it's near Bargain Booze. Who could argue with that?). Many of the people who live on my street don't work. I'll be setting off early in the morning to drop off the kids at school whereas they'll be, um, setting off early in the morning to drop off the kids at school, too. But they're probably hungover. And they might be having a fag on the way, before going back home to watch Jeremy Kyle.
Many of our neighbours have more children than we do. Here's me, thinking we can't afford to have another child, and there they are, breeding like rabbits. Only rabbits who smoke. And who don't have any feck left in the burrow. Obviously I am very resentful about this. Every day I think ooh, you, you, you feckless people! How dare you even exist without possessing the requisite amount of feck!
Fortunately David Cameron is feeling my pain:
Speaking exclusively to The Mail on Sunday, Mr Cameron said: 'We are sending out strange signals on working, housing and families.'
He argued that some young people lived with their parents, worked hard, planned ahead and got nothing from the State, while others left home, made little effort to seek work and got a home paid for by the benefits system.[…]
'A couple will say, "We are engaged, we are both living with our parents, we are trying to save before we get married and have children and be good parents. But how does it make us feel, Mr Cameron, when we see someone who goes ahead, has the child, gets the council home, gets the help that isn't available to us?"
Yeah, Mr Cameron! These people, they don't half piss me off! I mean, speaking personally, I didn't actually get engaged and live with my parents and try to save before getting married and having children or any of that bollocks. I've always just bumbled along being middle class. It always seems to have worked out, just about, for me. I'd obviously like a better economic environment, in which things weren't quite so difficult for working parents. But still, in the absence of any policies that are going to make working and having children more affordable, yeah, let's just have a go at people on benefits. It's the very least we can do.
If I'm really honest, I wouldn't say I worked out of some great desire to be "good". If anything, I read the pronouncements of politicians such as Cameron and get a huge desire to change my behaviour just to be "bad". But I work so I have prospects and a future. I work so I don't feel trapped. I work so I feel I'm using the skills I had the opportunity to gain. I don't do it because of my feck, whatever that is. It has crossed my mind that, if everyone around me on our estate is having such a great time, I could try to join them. But it doesn't look that much fun from where I see it. It's hardly winning the lottery. They're not working because they don't know what else to do and how else to be, and no one, as far as I can see, is giving them the opportunities to change or making change affordable.
Cameron claims that "at the moment the system encourages people not to work and have children, but we should help people to work AND have children". I agree. Working and having children is hard emotionally and financially. I can think of many possible solutions – increasing childcare vouchers, encouraging childcare providers to fit around shift patterns, working to decrease the pay gap, investing in depressed communities to ensure that there are jobs – but cutting benefits for "the feckless" seems an odd one to start with. It won't make things any easier for most people. I don't know, perhaps if my neighbours get evicted, I'll be able to do the school run marginally more quickly, then I might get to work earlier, then I'll get a pay rise, then I'll actually be able to afford the nursery fees I'm paying for anyhow… Is that the thinking? Cause I'm not sure that's going to work. Hell, I don't even know if I've got enough feck to make this doable.
Well, thankfully it won't be me who has to operate the feckometer. Because knowing feck all about the morality behind it, I just wouldn't know where to start.
Postscript: Since writing this post, it still looks like everything's going badly wrong, but I have at least worked out the answer to the original question: it's obviously Father Jack.

Germanischer Lloyd (GL) has upgraded and extended its Rules for Underwater Technology. The revision of the rules reflects the growing demand for sophisticated regulations covering subsea innovations, in particular down to depths of 6.000 metres or more.
In the field of underwater technology GL is focussing on the technical safety and reliability of all kinds of diving systems, submarines, submersibles, underwater vehicles and underwater equipment. The underwater technology rules, consisting of three comprehensive chapters, came into force on 1 November and apply to all underwater technology contracted for construction on or after that date. A copy of the rules including annexes is available in English and German language on GL's website:
The three new chapters of Underwater Technology are dealing with equipment for manned or unmanned subsea use as well as onshore operation and simulation. The first chapter covers Diving Systems and Diving Simulators. The second chapter focuses on Manned Submersibles while the last deals with Unmanned Submersibles (ROV, AUV) and Underwater Working Machines.
The requirements for the certification of underwater working devices and underwater working machines are laid down in a separate section. It provides all involved stakeholders such as manufacturers, owners and operators a comprehensive guideline for safe and reliable underwater working equipment.
GL issued its new rules in order to assist operators in a challenging subsea environment. In combination with the state of art regulations GL also provides in-depth consultancy services in respect to pre-design and quality management reviews, project support and operational performance.

Vehicle Hire Excess Insurance, Excess
Protection, Travel Insurance
All of our products can be purchased online or over the telephone. Information on
each product category is shown below.
Protects the excess when you rent or hire a vehicle covered by the policy.
When you rent a vehicle from a car rental company you have a financial liability
to the car rental company for the first part of any damage to the vehicle during
the hire period, this liability is normally described as the car rental excess.
In addition you are also liable for loss or damage to the tyres, windscreen and
underbody. Some car rental company's provide an excess waiver that may
cover some of your liability or not as the terms and conditions can be difficult
to understand. Questor Insurances vehicle
hire policies are designed to provide you with peace of mind cover that
includes the excess and tyres, windscreen and the underbody.
Protects the excess on vehicle insurances.
We do not think about excesses on our personal insurances until it comes time to
pay one. As competition among Insurers has increased there has been a tendency to
impose higher excesses and some buyers are also opting for higher excesses to drive
down the cost of premiums. Questor Insurance has designed an
Excess Protection policy that can be purchased to insure the excesses on
your vehicle policies providing you with an additional level of protection.

This morning Rebecca and I attended the lovely and very meaningful Easter Sunrise service of our English Speaking Church – the Heliopolis Community Church. This early morning Easter event has been held at the Commonwealth Graves Memorial gardens in Heliopolis for more than 30 years! After communion around the large cross in the middle of the garden we share a communal breakfast together.
We went there with our children in the 80s and today our daughter Leila and our grandson Alex joined us! It aways is a blessing celebrating Easter in that way and it brings to us a flood of good memories from years past….
After a short nap we dressed up and went to the Palm Sunday service of our Arabic Church, the Heliopolis Evangelical Church. (Eastern Christians have a different church calendar and this year the Easters are one week apart).
Egyptian Christians are all given the day off for Palm Sunday so this is one of the best attended church services of the year. Our church was packed and the large sanctuary reverberated with vibrant singing and praise to God!
Next week we celebrate Egyptian Easter and, as we have done for more than 30 years, we will attend the Saturday Evening Easter service at the St. Simon the Tanner Cave Church at the Garbage Village with yet another congregation we relate to because of Rebecca's ministry there since 1982!
All this may seem a bit confusing to you – and I must admit, it is sometimes also for us. But we praise the Lord for the rich and alive church traditions we have in Egypt and the privilege we have as a couple to feel at home in each of these very varied church traditions, and to be deeply blessed by worshipping with the wonderful Christians we know in each one.

Beautifully written.
What a disappointment! This book is tagged as a novel, but it is a poor one. I wanted to like it because I am such a devoted fan of Bronte's Jane Eyre. How sad that this author chose to write a novel about her that only makes her appear common and dull. I cannot recommend this book.
A fictionalized account of the period when Jane Eyre was written. The author lacks indepth knowledge of the Brontes. Yet another example of "pushing the present into the past".
I couldn't get past the first chapter.

This DIY goes out to all our fans!
This first one is merely decoration, but it's definitely different than other ones and follows the theme! Perfect for all sorts of parties, if you change the color and pattern you could use it for anything.
This fan is portable for anywhere and anytime! There are different versions of this little guy but this one comes with a switch. Desk, car, or living space, you can be cool in two ways!
This fan is larger but it's still portable and it comes with a cooling system as well! Also with the streamers, it won't be a scary machine but a fun one with character. Three holes help to circulate the air around a room, and to bring the hot summer down to an enjoyable one!
Got a cooler sitting around that needs a different job than collecting stagnant air? Well let the air flow free and cool down your place. This is a bigger unit than the last one but will be able to cool faster and stronger than before!
This may not be a fan, but it's a cooling system that you wont want to miss. It's a mister that shoots out very fine water, you don't get soaked, and you get to cool down! This is the relaxing life in a hot summer time everyone needs.
