Ara Pacis Initiative
Rome, Protomoteca del Campidoglio, April 20th 2010
Task Force: Justice and Peacemaking
Participants: Robert Rotberg, Jaime Malamud-Goti, Mohammad Imam, Latifah Anum Siregar, Stefano Amore
Social harmony depends on creating justice for victims and enabling victims to find a way
to forgive.
Social harmony can only be achieved through empowering victims through a restorative
justice system. This is a necessary step for reconciliation and forgiveness. If justice is the
acknowledgment of what has been done to the victims, then justice is necessary for
reconciliation, and it makes the restoration of human dignity possible, especially in the case
of women. Forgiveness is a further step down the path. In this sense there can be no
forgiveness and social reconciliation without justice first. It would be best for the
achievement of full justice to have first short trials and then truth commissions. They both
must have a strong and direct impact on the population, so that the need for restoration
would be satisfied. We were then asking ourselves if these truth commission could have an
international dimension, but our opinion is skeptical. Apart from legitimacy problems of
international commission solving interstate conflicts, we think that the truth commissions in
order to be perceived as truthful and therefore have the requisite authority, must be close to
the conflict and to the community. That's why you need a domestic and local authority.
People and victims won't recognize as truthful the results of international truth proceedings.
An international commission may be useful only to bring reparative justice to areas where
there are no local commissions, as long as they have authority through recognition from the
parliament and in their composition and there are members of that community who are close to the conflict.

Insubstantial, inanimate, untouchable, lacking any kind of solidity, impossible to grasp, fog nevertheless had a life of its own, as countless journalists, writers, poets, novelists, cartoonists and painters repeatedly observed. And that life had a beginning, a middle, and an end, like any other kind of life.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Windy Corner
Windy Corner. Home of Lucy Honeychurch and her mother and brother. Windy Corner is located near Summer Street, in the Surrey hills. The Honeychurches live in suburbia, as did E. M. Forster for much of his life, close to London but outside it. Surrey is famous as a recreation destination. As he indicates in the title, Forster considered rooms within houses to be symbolically important places: The rooms in the boxy Honeychurch house are protected from the outside by heavy curtains and filled with solid Victorian furniture. They do not have views. Views are to be had outside on the grounds, or, for those ready to look, within.
Pension Bertolini
Pension Bertolini (pan-see-OHN ber-TOH-lee-nee). Tourist lodge on the River Arno, in Florence, which caters to an English clientele. The Bertolini is based on a real pension in which Forster stayed with his mother on his first trip to Italy in 1901-1902. The pension is run by a Cockney woman, and, with its drawing room and pictures of Queen Victoria and Alfred, Lord Tennyson, on the walls, the hostel is calculated to make the English tourist feel at home. As in Forster's other novels, it is abroad that members of various levels of English society, in particular the middle classes, seem to meet. The room to which Lucy is eventually assigned has a beautiful view of the river and the hills beyond. This view entices her out of the pension and into the dangers and...

Historical Context
Edwardian Age
King Edward VII, known as Bertie, ascended the throne at the death of his mother, Queen Victoria, in 1901. Bertie turned the monarchy into a national pageant. He opened the parliament in 1902, worked hard to improve foreign relations (including the entente with France that allowed for the AngloFrench alliance), and gave every encouragement to military reform. Domestically, Bertie championed tolerance by going out of his way to show that Jews and Indian princes were not, by nature, inferior to himself. Bertie's love of pageantry ensured that people noticed this attitude and British society grew more tolerant.
By 1906, Bertie's health showed signs of decline while a constitutional crisis brewed. The question arose as to whether the Lords or the House of Commons should deal with financing the arms race with Germany. As the dispute flared in 1909, Bertie vacationed in France although elections were imminent. He returned to political chaos, succumbed to bronchitis, and died in the spring of 1910.
The British Empire
At the end of the nineteenth century, Britain ruled an empire that encircled the globe. However, the degree to which Britain controlled the areas of the map it marked in pink or red was questionable or in decline. Exacerbating Britain's anxiety, European nations increasingly challenged her hegemony. The most brazen was Germany and the most worrisome was Russia. Britain sought to pacify her...

Literary Style
A term that literary criticism borrows from music describes the technical repetition of key phrases or ideas in association with persons or places. The device can also assume larger proportions when, for example, an action is repeated with different portents. Forster employs leitmotif throughout his novels.
Swimming and violets are George's simple signifiers. The device becomes more intricate with Lucy. She employs music as her leitmotif. Lucy's playing affords an opportunity for other people to glimpse her real personality. The pieces she chooses to play have far reaching effects. Beethoven means something different from Schuman. Lucy's inability to play Wagner signals the novel's larger comedic struggle. The piece she cannot play comes from Wagner's operatic adaptation of the Holy Grail legend. Forster's novel is full of references to the tale and these references are leitmotifs.
Place becomes a leitmotif governing the novel's structure. Italy, at both the beginning and end, is a place of passion, youth, and possibility. The dark phase of the novel when Lucy is most endangered of joining the "army of darkness" takes place in England; far in the north, England is the seat of cold Victorianism. The leitmotif of physical intimacy reveals the position of opposing character. Lucy's kisses with her mother are mechanical. Hand brushings with Mr. Emerson are genuine but Charlotte's embrace is a betrayal. Kissing, of course,...

Compare and Contrast
1908: Based on an arrangement with Russia, Austria annexes Bosnia and Herzegovina. This disrupts Serbia's plans for a Greater Serbia including the two provinces. Britain and France thwart Russia's gain of the promised access to the Dardanelles and Bosporus straits. Austria denies any secret arrangements and the Balkan fuse is set to explode as World War I.
Today: With the collapse of Yugoslavia, Balkan provinces again struggle for control. At the close of the twentieth century, Serbia has been isolated for its attempt to annex and ethnically cleanse Kosovo.
1908: Before it annexes Hawaii in 1898 and colonizes the Philippines a year later, the United States possesses a military just capable of dealing with indigenous tribes, the Mexican army, and Spain. America's stance is defensive, although the world powers know that the United States has the capacity as soon as it finds the will.
Today: The United States has the largest militaryindustrial complex in the world. On paper, the United States can fight two full-fledged wars simultaneously. This military might is matched by a consumer and financial base that dominates global markets.
1908: The West views China as a source of riches so long as the country can be controlled.
Today: The view of China by the West has not changed. The United States hopes to edge out its competitors and gain preferred access to China's vast...

Topics for Further Study
Forster's theory of marital comradeship has been said to be a homosexual viewpoint masked by a heterosexual story. Do you agree or disagree?
Forster identified readily with Renaissance figures. Research the Neoplatonist Gemistus Pletho or the Italian mathematician Girolamo Cardano and read Forster's essay on either one. What comparisons can be made between these Renaissance figures and Forster?
The Greek Spirit or the Comic Muse are composed of profound human musings. Taking George's book shelf as a guide (Byron, Butler, Gibbon, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche) as well as the novel itself, define Mr. Emerson's understanding of the Greek Spirit.
In the novel, the potential liberating effects of art must be guarded against. This is done by aesthetic education, not censorship. How has the battle over the impact of media on youth changed? What can be learned from Forster on this issue?
Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" was celebrated in the novel as a moment of body appreciation— not an example of exploitation. Feminists in Forster's day, and still today, disagree. Research the arguments on both sides using Forster's novel and Lynda Nead's The Female Nude. Which do you find most persuasive?
Read Forster's own travel books or early National Geographics to ascertain the conditions a traveler faced in Forster's time. What does Forster believe to be the value of travel? Compare this to the goal of package tours and...

Media Adaptations
In 1950, Stephen Tait and Kenneth Allcott adapted A Room with a View to the stage. The play was produced in Cambridge and published by Edward Arnold in 1951.
Cinecom released a film adaptation of A Room with a View produced by Merchant-Ivory Productions in 1986. Using an adaptation by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, James Ivory directed the film. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, the film won three: for screenplay, costume design, and set design. The cast included the notable Daniel DayLewis (Cecil), Helena Bonham Carter (Lucy), and Julian Sands (George).

What Do I Read Next?
The first novel of Forster's Italian series, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), sequentially follows from A Room with a View. The novel anticipates the themes Forster would explore in his later works through a story about two journeys to Italy. On the first, an English widow, Lilia Herriton, goes to Italy, falls in love with an Italian, and dies in childbirth. Fearing the idea that this child should grow up Italian causes another journey to Italy to be made by English people. The goal of this journey is to recover the baby.
Set in Cambridge, Forster's The Longest Journey sits in the middle of the Italian series. In this novel, the comfortable university world is forever disjointed for young Rick Elliot when he falls in love with Agnes Pembroke. The novel captures the essence of university life in turnofthecentury Britain as well as the experience of tea with a dowager.
With some autobiographical touches, Forster memorialized the house of his youth, Rooksnest, in his fourth novel, published in 1910, Howards End. Here, the children of the Wilcoxes try to ignore the note by their mother, Ruth, which bequeathed the house to Margaret Schlegal. Margaret marries Ruth's surviving husband, Henry, and gains the house regardless. After a series of traumas, Margaret and an ailing Henry return to the house.
The 1924 work Passage to India was the last novel Forster published and it has been widely acclaimed as...

New European Cookie Laws

Well .. much interest :D
But in fact .. the EU have the ECL and it's easy to implement that.
For the coming release of our Portal we have a option implemented to enable the ECL Mode. In this case any visitor (except spiders) must accept the storage of cookies before he/she can browse the site.
That (I think) is the best option and it's need only one Click more if you enter the site ...

That's a bit unfair. I think he is pretty accurate, and you could adopt a strict approach like his suggestions. The wolf software he recommends is a good way to become compliant too.
My personal view is to work towards the guidance, and be open an honest to your users about everything. Including warn users about cookies and more importantly stop any third parties from using behavioural tricks on our users. As it stands currently, we have to do what they say - and if not then we have to prove that we are trying to be compliant.
I think the bit that gets people emotional is the fines. Yes there are fines 'UP TO' 500,000GBP, but even then you would have an enforcement notice to comply within x amount of time. Unless it is of an extremely serious nature(such as health records, mass credit card leakage etc) and then you get a 'stop now' enforcement.
And the 500k isn't specifically for the cookie law - as some would have you think. It's the max penalty the ICO can impose for breaches in all data protection related areas.
--- Quote ---Monetary penalty notices
A monetary penalty will only be appropriate in the most serious situations. When deciding the amount of a monetary penalty, the Commissioner not only takes into account the seriousness of the breach but also other factors including the size, financial and other resources of a data controller. It is not the purpose of a monetary penalty to impose undue financial hardship. The amount must not exceed £500,000 and is not kept by the Commissioner, but paid into the Consolidated Fund owned by HM Treasury.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: Tony Reid on April 24, 2012, 04:08:52 AM ---Incidentally - if anyone is using adsense, then they need to consider turning off behavioural 'Interest based ads'.
This can be done via Adsense > Allow and Block Ads > Advanced Settings > Interest Based Ads Preference.
The reason I mention this is because googles policy states that the cookies they drop for the site belong to the site, so they are our responsibility.
So, its just a precaution.
--- End quote ---
Regardless of that setting, Google Adsense will still inject cookies but their content may be different.
Neither Adsense nor Analytics cookies the ICO categorise as being "essential" so one may need to consider allowing people to reject either or both - and that's one good reason for using the Wolf Software solution since it permits users to make a(n informed) choice.
To he who suggests I'm trolling: you are entitled to your opinion and, for all we know, the ECL may not even apply to you and your site. So maybe your comment was itself troll-like.
And as far as the "NoCookieLaw" website is concerned, its effectiveness can be demonstrated by the fact that the law will still be enforced as of May 26. The law is on the Statute books and it's far too late to protest against it. And those who do obviously care little for the privacy of those who visit websites.
I have augmented Emanuele's "EU Cookie Law" modification by adding Geo-Location so that only visitors from within EU member states will need to agree to cookies, those from outside the EU won't be prompted and cookies will be set as before.
My changes are detailed in this post.

NP Rank:
The Real Gender War
I have known many people, both women and men, who have been abused or are being abused by their partners. Most severe cases have been women at hand of men; but I've also seen enough woman-on-man nastiness. I am not going to accept the Christian explanation that all people are evil by nature. I do, however, have a real-world proposal for how this kind of thing can be reduced.
People who are conducting themselves in a venal manner will only stop either if they figure out that it's the wrong thing to do, or if there is a powerful external reason to change their behavior. Regrettably in many cases the latter does need to take place. There needs to be an incentive on both men and women to be good to their partners, and this will result in more people treating each other better. The people who realize wrongness of bad behavior and are willing to cut it out themselves should be allowed to do that and even have help in figuring out how to do it. For others, there need to be powerful real-world incentives to change their ways.
What I propose, in adjudicating relationship disputes, is a quantification based on the severity of the nastiness committed. The man who is ugly to his wife should lose; the woman who is ugly to her husband should lose. And whoever commits greater nastiness should lose the most. The quantification must be made with the eye toward demanding of both partners a better treatment of the other. This should extend not only toward physical acts of violence but also to things that are said and things that are done.
At the social level, the ideas that teach women to be nasty to men, like the ideas that teach men to be nasty to women, must be defeated. Both sets of beliefs are evil, and vast numbers of innocent people needlessly suffer vastly from each. While much is said about a gender war, a much more relevant gender war is this: Between men and women who want to be good to the other gender - and the men and women who do not.
For this reason there also should be a sizable inter-cultural mix for marriage. This will result in men from cultures where men are good to women and women are bad to men getting together with women from cultures where women are good to men and men are bad to women. For the participants, this will create positive-sum relationships in which they treat one another far better than they otherwise would be treated. And for everyone else, this will create a powerful incentive to change their behavior - for, if they do not, they get to lose their potential partners to people abroad who are willing to be better to them.
The worst behavior I've seen in relationships is that of persecution. One partner decides that the other partner is bad for one or another reason and becomes their enemy. It's not just a wrong; it is also a game. If the partner really is bad, then one shouldn't be with the partner; and if one not only stays in the relationship but does everything he can to keep the partner in the relationship, then he is a conman. It is time to turn the tables on all conmen - both male and female - who pull this or related tricks. And to be attacked here is not the personality of the person being persecuted. To be attacked here is the persecutor.
Women becoming mean and aggressive is not progress, and men beating up on their wives is not righteousness. In both cases a severe wrong is done. In both cases the gender becomes the worst thing it can be. And in both cases innocent people suffer results of ugly attitudes.
Most people will have relationships, and most people will have a family life. This reality must be recognized, and choices must be made and provisions must be taken to ensure that this is a positive experience both for the men and the women involved. And this means encouraging goodwill among the genders instead of hatred among the genders, resulting in children being brought up in loving environments.
The real issue is not which gender wins, but who in which gender wins. The men who are willing to be good to women should win; so should women who are willing to be good to men. The men who want to beat up on their wives and girlfriends and women who want to be ugly to men should come at the losing end of this real gender conflict. And the result will be more people having a reason to be good to their partners, resulting in more people treating their partners well.

Drunken lout jailed after Nelson bus station attack (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)

Drunken lout jailed after Nelson bus station attack
7:00pm Monday 7th October 2013 in News
ONE of a gang of drunken louts who went on a 'mindless rampage' around Nelson bus station, has been jailed for eight months.
Burnley Crown Court heard how a 14-year-old schoolboy was terrorised, a taxi driver was assaulted, a bus station supervisor was attacked in front of a mum with a pushchair and a bystander, who was calling police, was put in a headlock by Damien Geddes, 23, and ended up struggling to breathe.
Geddes then attacked him. Three of the victims were racially abused.
Geddes, his accomplice Antonia Shepherd, 22, and a youth had struck after an hours-long drinking session, picking out random victims.
Shepherd and Geddes couldn't remember much of what happened, but their actions were caught on CCTV, which was played to a judge.
Geddes, of Charles Street, and Shepherd, of Highfield Crescent, both Nelson, admitted affray on January 30.
Judge Beverley Lunt said their behaviour had been bizarre and mindless.
Shepherd was spared custody and received six months in prison, suspended for a year, with 12 months' supervision.
A teenager has already been dealt with by another court.
Robert Golinski, prosecuting, said the 14-year-old was on his way home from school and was near the Station Hotel, when he was racially abused and intimidated. The frightened teenager ran into a subway, chased by all three gang members, who caught up with him. He was pushed to the ground, kicked in the mouth, and punched while on his hands and knees. Shepherd didn't take part. The victim finally managed to run away, with his nose bleeding and a swollen lip.
The gang then got into a taxi and pulled the driver's hair, his Bluetooth ripped from his ear and he was racially abused. He told the gang he wasn't taking them anywhere, all got out and an abusive row followed.
Mr Golinski said the bus station supervisor came out, pointed out the CCTV and said he would call police if the group didn't behave. He was punched, knocked to the ground and was kicked and hit by the defendants.
A man inside the bus station who tried to call police was dragged to the floor and attacked by Geddes, who had a record for robbery, violence and drugs.
Judge Lunt slammed the defendants' conduct as a mindless rampage and said the victims were completely random.

Sheen, noted orator, author and television personality, will appear Monday on the Loyola Forum at the Municipal Auditorium at 8:30 p.m. Known for his coast-to-coast TV broadcast, "Life Is Worth Living," Bishop Sheen is the author of more than 30 books and two newspaper columns, and editor of two magazines. One of his moit important accomplishments is his work of bringing souls back to Christ. He has made headlines by converting peoples with heavy bankrolls as well as those who barely live from pay-day to payday.Although he has made thousands of converts to Catholicism, only a few are widely known to the American public—Henry Ford, 11, Fritz Kreisler, Heywood Broun, Louis Budenz, Elizabeth Bentley, Virginia Mayo and Clare Boothe Luce. Bishop Sheen has received at least a dozen top honors for his work in television. Among them are the title of "Man of the Year," by Radio and Television Daily Arts which found him the "most outstanding personality in television in 1952." The Freedom Foundation, Associated Press and the Catholic Stage Gulid of Ireland, have similarly cited him for his outstanding work. On one occasion, the Plaque of Achievement, given by the Advertising Club, stated, "As a group of advertising men, we are glad to honor him because without emphasis on race, creed or color, Bishop Sheen, in all his broadcasts, emphasizes but one thing — the truth." With nearly a quarter-century of broadcasting behind him, Bishop Sheen made his debut on television. Originally, the title of his show was "Is Life Worth Living?" but he changed it to the positive statement, "Life Is Worth Living."BISHOP FULTON J.

Seeber, judge of the first city court and 1927 Loyola law graduate; and Judge Howard J. Taylor, judge of he traffic court of New Orleans and 1948 Loyola law graduate. Judge Hamlin is chief justice for the event, which is sponsored by St. Thomas More Law Club. Briefs submitted by the finalists have been judged by a committee of three practicing attorneys who are Loyola graduates. They are Mark Malloy, LL.B. 1933; Harold Rouchelle, LL.B. 1932; and Guy Johnson, LL.B. 1937. Results of the finals will be announced immediately after the event, according to Nick Gagliano, chairman of moot court. The case to be argued involves Acadia College vs. the State of Claiborne in an appeal before the Supreme Court. Acadia was fined $20,000 for violation of a state statute forbidding "all secret orders, chapters, fraternities, sororities, and organizations of whatever name, or without a name, among students of any public or private college or university in the State of Claiborne." The case, designed to appeal to the average college student, originated when the mythical college chose to defy the state ordinance and a fraternity was involved in a disturbance. The college maintains that the statute is contrary to the national Constitution and is seeking to prove it before the Washington tribunal. Gold medals will lie presented to the members of the winning team and silver medals to the losers. The best speaker will receive an edition of Black's Law Dictionary donated by West Publishing Company. The presentations will be made at the club's annual banquet in late April. Gagliano stated that all students are invited to the event. He added tl.at delegates to the Student Bar Association regional meeting will be guests. SHEEN HERE MONDAY SEE THESPIAN PLAY

Vote results scroll in Times Square in the early hours of Nov. 8, 2000. Some networks had to reverse calls. Getty Images
Behind the decisions that news organizations will make Tuesday night about when to call states for either presidential candidate lies a complex mix of polling, vote counts, statistical models and subjective judgment.
Already a consortium of five television networks and the Associated Press has been funding phone surveys to determine how many of the votes cast before Election Day are going to President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. The consortium will combine those results with exit polls conducted on Election Day, plus early counts of actual votes at randomly selected precincts, and share the data with its members: Associated Press, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox, which, like The Wall Street Journal, is owned by News Corp.

The consortium's researchers will feed these numbers into a statistical model to make recommendations on when it is safe to call states—typically once there is 99.5% statistical confidence, or more for states expected to be close—and the news organizations use that, along with their own models and judgment, to make the call.

Obama Campaign strategist David Axelrod denies claims of Mitt Romney's momentum while GOP adviser Rich Beeson says several blue states could be in play. WSJ reporters assess the final days of the campaign, the new jobs figures and Hurricane Sandy.
Or to wait. "The overriding rule that everybody understands—and we will say it 100 times among ourselves over and over on Tuesday—is, it's better to be right than to be first," said Sam Feist, CNN's Washington, D.C., bureau chief.
That attitude is a byproduct of a painful episode in election-returns coverage, in 2000, when some networks had to reverse their calls of Florida more than once before reporting that it was too close to call. It wasn't until more than a month later that George W. Bush officially won the state, by a margin of 537 votes among nearly six million cast.
"There was a series of mistakes, a sort of perfect storm that night," said Tom Hannon, who oversaw CNN's election-night decision desk from 1988 to 2004.
Afterward, networks commissioned reports to assess what went wrong and how to fix it. Among the actions taken by news organizations since 2000: improving the statistical models, as well as data systems' software and hardware, to prevent data-entry errors that plagued the 2000 process; consulting with political scientists on election night; erring on the side of safety when deciding when to make a call; and reducing reliance on exit polls, particularly in close races.
"After 2000, the networks announced that they would be more cautious, and erroneous calls have virtually disappeared," said Christopher H. Achen, who, as a consultant advising on when to call states, worked for either ABC or CBS for the national elections in 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2004.
Whether this all will suffice for an election complicated by razor-thin margins in some polls, the rise of early voting and even the past week's huge East Coast storm remains to be seen. "The system has been fixed since 2000, but the world didn't stand still," said Mr. Hannon, now a lecturer in media and politics at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Advanced Governmental Studies in Washington, D.C. "It's much more complicated than it used to be."
One complication is how to combine the results from phone polls of early voters with those from in-person exit polls conducted Tuesday. Knowing how to weight them requires knowing what percentage of voters in each state are early voters. Joe Lenski, executive vice president of Edison Research, a Somerville, N.J., firm that is polling and gathering results for the consortium known as the National Election Pool, said the group starts by using early-vote totals and updates the weights as votes come in on the night.
"It's basically well-informed educated guessing beforehand and better-informed actual numbers that night," he said.
In addition, exit polls face the challenge of being accurate when many people choose not to participate. "They are subject to selection effects," said Prof. Achen, now a political scientist at Princeton University. "Not everyone agrees to talk to the exit pollster at the polling place. The precise nature of the selection effect differs from one election to the next, and from one state to the next."
For that reason, he and other political scientists recommend not using exit polls to project winners. Mr. Lenski, though, said tossing them entirely would hurt the process, particularly when filling gaps in states where some areas are lagging in reporting results.
Despite these challenges, former and current news chiefs say calling states before all votes are in is a natural part of the reporting. "If it was left up to jurisdictions, the country as a whole wouldn't know the result of elections for some days after," said Mr. Hannon.

Hydrophobia: Prophecy v1.0.1385 Update Cracked-THETA (2011/Multi8)
Release: 21.05.11 | PC Games | Developer: Dark Energy Digita | Publisher: Dark Energy Digita | 1.89 GB
Language: Eng/Fr/Ger/Ita/Spa/Chn/Jap/Kor
Genre: Action | Adventure
Hydrophobia: Prophecy is the ultimate version of this jaw-dropping action-adventure set onboard a floating city, where terrorists take control and heroine Kate has to overcome her haunting childhood memories to fight back using all her skills and expertise as a systems engineer.
Utilise the power of HydroEngine - the worlds first fluid dynamics engine for games - to engage in mind blowing flow combat and incredible physics based puzzles. Also includes exclusive new environments and mechanics, superior graphics, a reworked back story, dramatic new ending, recast voice acting and much more.
2051. The world has become consumed by the ever rising tide of the global population flood. Fertile land has been reclaimed by rising oceans and expanding deserts, resulting in famine and poverty on an unprecedented scale. Water is now mankind's most precious resource, and conflict erupts wherever it flows.
Only one bubble of the old capitalist world survives. The Queen of the World is the largest ship ever to grace the oceans, a colossal city at sea where the wealthy elite live in exile from the chaos which surrounds them. Onboard this stateless paradise the Five Founding Fathers set about pursuing their Cornucopian research unimpeded.
The contempt of the outside world is offset by NanoCell Corporation, one of the five, who promise to develop nano-technology to purify sea water at the molecular level and make the deserts bloom with the food of the world. But as they move closer to their goal, the bitterness of fanatical Malthusians grows.
The so called 'Neo Malthusians' timed their attack perfectly. 9.8 billion watched as they recast hope as hatred, following a prophecy to commit global genocide; drowning the planet with blood as they slash the worlds population to a mere half billion 'righteous souls'. A prophecy they will soon find themselves in a position to fulfill.
Fast-paced action and breathtaking visuals; engage mind blowing "flow combat" unique floating cover where emergent gameplay results in a never-the-same-experience.
Unleash floating oil fires, electricity and the power of the water to wipe out your enemy as you discover the terrifying truth of the Malthusian prophecy.

What can design researchers learn from confidence artists?
"In English, the word design is both a noun and a verb (which tells one a lot about the nature of the English language). As a noun, it means—among other things 'intention,' 'plan,' 'intent,' 'aim,' 'scheme,' 'plot,' 'motif,' 'basic structure,' all these (and other meanings) being connected with 'cunning' and 'deception.' As a verb ('to design'), meanings include 'to concoct something,' 'to simulate,' 'to draft,' 'to sketch, 'to fashion,' 'to have designs on something.'"
– "About the Word Design" by Vilém Flusser
Let me begin this by stating that this is just a thought. I haven't done any heavy digging or research. I am using this blog as a way to document my thoughts and ideas for thesis.
The confidence artist is usually thought of in a negative light. I'm proposing that instead of immediately dismissing the con artist, we, as design researchers, should learn from their actions and ways of thinking.
The confidence man is known for being untrustworthy, sly, and deceitful. But he is also known for being smart, systematic, and cunning. The confidence man demonstrates similar goals as the design researcher. Both must gain the trust of the people. Design researchers call these people, "stakeholders." Con artists call these people, "marks." While design researchers may take hours, days, or weeks to build relationships and formulate trust with their stakeholders, con artists have mastered this skill because their actions depend on gaining trust as quickly and easily as possible, taking them mere minutes to develop trust within their mark.
What is the purpose of gaining the trust of the people? For design researchers it is to gain participation in the design project. Including the stakeholders gives meaning to the design process and the solution. For a con artist, the purpose is also to gain participation in the con. Though the outcome for the con artist is often times vastly different, (and let's hope it stays that way), from the outcome of the design process, the mode in the beginning of the process is often the same. They are both trying to gather information about the people and context.
So how can design researchers learn from the confidence artist?
We can start by looking at the con artist through a different lense. The lense of process. Let's stop looking at the negative aspects of a "game" and start looking at the process that makes that game successful. How do con artists read people so easily? How do they know how to build trust with each individual mark as quickly and easily as possible? How to they build empathy with their mark? How do they extract valuable information from their mark? How are these skills useful to the design researcher?
There is one HUGE difference that I cannot ignore, (there are many other differences). While the con artist seeks to hide his true identity and process, design researchers put it all on the table for the stakeholders to see and understand. Is revealing the design process to the stakeholders too early affecting their desire to be involved? One reason many con artists succeed is because they appeal to their mark's curiosity. Are design researchers taking the element curiosity out of the process by showing everything? Or, does showing the stakeholder everything actually increase the stakeholder's curiosity in regard to the final outcome?
I'm not suggesting that we build relationships with our stakeholders through a web of deceit. I'm simply suggesting that we analyze the process of the the con artist in order to understand how the essence of those skills are transferable to the design researcher. By being able to connect with the stakeholders more efficiently, design researchers may gather more valuable information in less time. This may not only give more meaning to the outcome and process, but also may give the design researcher more information to work with and time to find patterns and key insights.

Rimini : Michelin's recommendations
Once a destination for the rich and famous, Rimini is now an internationally renowned and popular seaside resort. It also has an illustrious past, as witnessed by many of the monuments in the historical centre, such as the Tempio Malatestiano. Artists such as Leon Battista Alberti and Piero della Francesca worked in the court of Sigismondo I in Rimini; Giotto's work in the town helped to develop a Rimini School of art; and more recently, the film director Federico Fellini was born here.

Cheap hotels near Jewish Ghetto in Venice, Italy
In 1516, the Venetian government decreed that Jews could work throughout the city by day, but at night and on Christian holidays they must retreat to their ghetto.
Today, the quarter is the center of the city's vibrant Jewish community. Monuments and tablets, some naming Jews who died during times of intolerance (including those sent by Mussolini to concentration camps) are hung throughout the neighborhood.
Worth visiting are the neighborhood's synagogues, many of which offer guided tours. The Jewish Museum of Venice is also here. For more information, visit the museum's Web site.

If you're new to the site, please take a moment to check out our front page and read what the Quest for the Cure is all about – raising $100,000 for cancer research and support worldwide, by doing a 500-mile trip from Belfast to Edinburgh this October using only medieval gear.
Toronto-based J.M. Frey (pronounced "fry") is a sci-fi and fantasy author, receiving a number of awards for her short-form work in novellas and short stories; she has also been a guest panelist on Space!channel and is an avid cosplayer – so she understands about our costumes! Her debut novel, TRIPTYCH, is available at Chapters and Amazon, and you can check her out on the web at her website (jmfrey.net) and on Twitter (@scifrey). She is also one of those awesome authors who frequents literary social media site Goodreads.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Ms Frey for responding to our email with such enthusiasm. Our Quest would not be possible without the support of outstanding people like you!

(NBC) - It is possible for kids to work up a sweat dancing and biking their way through interactive video games,
but new research indicates kids aren't necessarily more physically active just because they're playing those games.
"I don't think this is so much discouraging as it's just to me more of a reality check," says orthopedic surgeon Dr. Susan Joy.
The study from Baylor College of Medicine included about 80 kids.
Half were given active video games -- giving them the opportunity to move their bodies.
The other half received more sedentary games.
All of the children wore accelerometers that measured their activity levels for more than a month.
Researchers say they were shocked by the results.
"They ended up finding not much of a difference between the two groups," says Dr. Joy.
Even though lab studies have shown kids can get an intense work-out with video games, it appears that in the real world setting of this study kids were literally just going through the motions, finding low-intensity ways of playing the games.
While there's other evidence active video games can help seniors improve balance and coordination, the junior leaguers may benefit more from the real thing.
Experts suggest kids may be more active when families play games together.
