Gornewicz, 27, a reservist assigned to the 444th Engineering Company headquartered in Oswego, N.Y., was killed in the Paktia province on Nov. 3. "We gave to Cy's World last year, and wanted to again this year," Spicer says of Edgar Clyde " Cy " Garber IV, who was 17 when he died in a 2010 automobile wreck just before Thanksgiving. "The Hinkamp Foundation was established this year in memory of David Hinkamp," Spicer says about David G. Hinkamp, a local jeweler and former Cumberland County Golf Champion who died Jan. 1 at age 50. "He was a strong supporter of golf and many fundraisers in Cumberland County."

Also in recordings view, it doesnt list the channel the program was recorded on. Would be useful for people who dont have channel logos.
I don't think the PVR generates thumbnails of recordings yet. At least not in the build I'm currently running. Different views aren't possible either, but I don't think I would have multiple views in the PVR anyway.

For the past week I have been spending quite time reading the Bible, Praying, and worshiping the Lord. I am overwhelmed by the Love of Jesus in my life. On November 17th I should have been dead as a result of a severe car accident. At the very least, I should have been severely injured. Yet, I emerged without a scratch. Four years ago January, will mark the day that I have witnessed a blind man healed in front of me. I am also a testimony of the transforming power of Jesus in my own life. My life was one of a wretch made new by the power and LOVE of God. The Love of Jesus is SO real. The evidence of His GLORY surrounds me and HIS love overtakes my heart. I was inspired to create this music video, which truly is my heart song. May it BLESS you today as you consider how much Jesus Loves YOU. My Blessings to You and Your Family in 2010!

NEW from Vitacost: ARO Sports Supplements
Searching for the right sports supplements can be… slightly overwhelming. There are inexpensive products that taste great and mix quickly, but a quick glance at the ingredients reveals a laundry list of chemicals and scary, unpronounceable compounds. Then there are natural products that only half-dissolve, leaving behind little clumps that certainly do not taste like cookies or cream. Blegh.
Now, there is another option: NEW ARO Black Series sports supplements, available exclusively at Vitacost.com.

Journal Special Issue
Journal Articles
Chapters in Books
Marshall Beier received his PhD in Political Science from York University and is a former Associate Director of the York Centre for International and Security Studies. He joined the Department of Political Science at McMaster University in 2000.
His teaching and research interests are rooted in critical approaches to security studies and international relations theory, in particular postcolonialism, poststructuralism, and feminist approaches. Other interests include issues of human security, weapons proliferation, arms control, and disarmament. He is active with and serves on the Faculty Advisory Committee of the McMaster Children and Youth University, the first initiative of its kind in North America.
In his current research he has been exploring two broad areas of empirical focus through theoretical lenses fashioned by a commitment to the constructedness of social life. The first of these involves intersections between indigeneity and conceptual treatments of security and the realm of the international. This work has been concerned with exploring tensions between Indigenous discourses of global politics and varied attempts by Indigenous people(s) to make their voices heard in the established international system and its attendant institutions.
Informed by the same conceptual commitments, he is also carrying out a multi-year project on the militarization of childhood. This work has so far resulted in an edited volume on the subject (with a soon to be released paperback edition) and a forthcoming special issue of the journal, Critical Studies on Security. Related research considers issues of childhood/youth political subjecthood with particular emphasis on questions of responsibility pertaining to trauma visited on young people both within and beyond zones of conflict.
Drawing on insights from his theoretical work, the balance of his research agenda is marked by an interest in offering new perspectives on contemporary security issues. Projects in this vein have focused variously on ballistic missile defence, the movement to ban antipersonnel landmines, and the 'Revolution in Military Affairs.'

Childhood, Militarism, and Pedagogies of the Everyday
McMaster University Arts Research Board Grant, $6,275 (2011)
Thinking beyond the global South and recognizing that militarism circulates and interpenetrates childhood experience in ways that are much less conspicuous than child soldiering raises questions of critical relevance to but not yet taken up in the disciplinary study of international relations. What is the relationship between militarism and childhood in advanced (post)industrial societies and what can be learned about its sources and implications? To what extent is childhood important as a site for the translation, maintenance, and (re)production of militarized knowledges and practices? How do prevailing conceptualizations of victimization limit our understanding of children's capacity for autonomous action, creativity, and resistance? In what ways are less visible circulations of militarism similar to and different from more explicit and purposefully-conceived forms? What can an approach that takes children seriously as bona fide politico-ethical actors reveal to us about the ways in which the disciplinary study of international relations frames political possibilities? In addressing these questions, this research project brings together a focus on everyday sites of both structured and unstructured learning with a commitment derived from postcolonial theory to recovering agency from overly simplistic ascriptions of victimhood. The project explores more explicitly militarized knowledges and practices in global politics while looking also to some of the less obvious continuities with these same knowledges and practices in various contexts of children's active learning and leisure activities. This approach, together with themes of everyday pedagogy and childhood agency, proposes a corrective to too narrow a focus on zones of conflict that might make it seem as though militarism affects the lives of children only in distant and politically fraught places.
Innovation in Arms Control
Experiential Education Grant, $10,000 (2006)
Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award, $25,000 (2009)
Inspired by current research on new arms technologies and rapidly changing determinants of war, the Innovation in Arms Control project aims to encourage identification and creative engagement with emerging challenges and opportunities in multilateral arms control. Inquiring into the future of arms control in the post-9/11 world, this project proceeds from the view that traditional approaches to non-proliferation, arms control, and disarmament were already unsetted by the advent of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' and, in particular, by new weapons technologies underwriting the notion of 'costless war.' Broadly, the implications of precision-guided munitions, which have dramatically altered the global balance of military power as well as the political aspects of its application, are weighed in connection with what it is argued is a relative impasse in contemporary arms control. With the aim of encouraging new thinking and a new community of expertise around these issues, this project is explicitly connected to both graduate and undergraduate teaching and to the development of two new undergraduate courses.
Postcolonial Diplomacies: Indigenous Peoples and the International Negotiation of Sovereignties and Selves
SSHRC Standard Research Grant, $71,733 (2005-08)
McMaster University Arts Research Board Grant, $4,550 (2004)
Since the early-1990s, Indigenous voices in international politics have been growing in strength, in numbers, and in their demonstrated ability to affect outcomes on a range of important issues. At the same time, international bodies like the Organization of American States have begun to take seriously the participation of Indigenous peoples and, equally noteworthy, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues has enjoyed a steadily increasing profile since its formal adoption by the UN General Assembly in October 2000. With these and other developments, global politics is witnessing qualitatively new forms of diplomacy.
In investigating these developments, this research project works through three interrelated themes. The first of these turns on questions of change, inquiring into how existing institutions, arrangements, norms, and practices of global governance are transformed by Indigenous diplomacies and, no less, how the latter have been affected by the need to work through the former. The second theme involves highlighting and clarifying continuities on both sides of the encounter, seeking to better appreciate and understand commonalities, compatibilities, and areas of convergence. Finally, points of divergence are examined with a view to revealing compromises around notions of sovereignties and selves that have enabled these diplomatic encounters and engagements.
Answering the Cull to Arms: US Foreign Military Sales and the Commercialization of the Global Arms Market
McMaster University Arts Research Board Grant, $6,955 (2005)
This research project inquires into the unforeseen circumstance that US foreign military sales (FMS) increased dramatically following the end of the Cold War. Accompanying anticipation of a domestic peace dividend, it had been expected that the shrinking global arms market would enhance and accelerate the trend of the late-1980s toward lower levels of FMS. Instead, US arms sales abroad swelled in both quantitative and qualitative terms. This project seeks to elaborate and understand the political bases of important changes in US FMS patterns over the last two decades.
In an effort to make sense of these developments, several aspects of recent and current US arms sales activities are considered. First, the extent of increase in terms of both the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of articles proposed and authorized for transfer is evaluated. Related to this are increases in the number of those states to which US-produced arms are available for transfer, and/or increases in the level of access to more advanced weapons systems by one or more clients. Second, efforts to control FMS are assessed, as are initiatives undertaken in order to enhance or facilitate arms transfers abroad. Finally, the justificatory rhetorics of advocates and apologists are evaluated.

Lt. James McAuliffe said police are unsure what happened to Howard Lay, of Sanford, before police found him foaming at the mouth and unresponsive last Tuesday at Pet Rescue by Judy on Iroquois Avenue.
As of Tuesday, Inv. Ronny Neal said Lay was coherent and speaking with investigators, however they were not releasing any statements Lay made to police.
According to an incident report, an officer found the man in the parking lot with a bruise on his left cheek and cuts on his left elbow and right hand. Lay's eyes were open and he had foam coming out of his mouth, the report stated.
The officer reported Lay was without his wallet, keys or any jewelry. A woman on scene told the officer Lay sometimes did security work in the area and he owned a nearby business.
Additionally, a doctor that treated Lay said his injuries were not consistent with a possible seizure, according to the report.
Police are asking that anyone with information on the incident call the Sanford Police Department at 407-688-5070.

Permanent Lip Implants Made Me Look Younger, Sexier, More Expressive - Austin, TX

- 13 Jul 2009
I love my permanent lip implants because they have changed my appearance for the better, in a very subtle way, and make me look and feel a lot younger. Photos of me come out better, too, because the thicker lips give more '3 dimensionality' to my face.
But best of all, they're permanent. Unlike temporary fillers, they don't 'wear off' in 3-6 months, nor do they have that 'half-life' effect (meaning that in the beginning your lips are over-injected and too fat, but then gradually shrink back to their original size. In other words, there's only a small window of time when your lips look the way you'd like them to look.
Of course, Octamom looks ridiculous with her huge 'gummy worm' permanent lip inserts that she had put in--you can even see how she hooks the upper 'worm' on her upper teeth to create that peculiar smile that she thinks looks like Angelina Jolie's. You don't want to look ridiculous--.
But done right, permanent lip enhancement looks really feminine and lovely.
Updated on Jul 23, 2009
Pros: Makes me look younger, sexier; adds dimension and character to my facial expressions.
Yes, worth it. Would definitely recommend my doctor in Austin TX.
Cost: $2200, I think, for both upper and lower lips. Pain minimal.
Cons?: Can't think of any at this time--and believe me, I'd tell you if I did. I'm wondering if thicker inserts would have looked nicer and I'll ask my doctor about it--he said the inserts are easy to remove if necessary--but I don't want to look like Octamom, either.
I don't say things I don't mean. I've...

Manor house
A manor house is a country house that historically formed the administrative centre of a manor, the lowest unit of territorial organisation in the feudal system in Europe. The term is applied to country houses that belonged to the gentry and other grand stately homes. There were manor houses in most European countries, where they were sometimes referred to as castles, palaces, and so on.
"Manor house" is also a technical term in the UK for a minor late-medieval English country house. They were often fortified but this was intended more for show than for defense.
History and architecture[edit]
The manor house was the dwelling house, or "capital messuage", of a feudal lord of a manor, which he occupied only on occasional visits if he held many manors. As such it was the place in which sessions of his manorial courts were held. Sometimes a steward or seneschal was appointed by the seigneurial lord to oversee and manage his different manorial properties. The day-to-day administration was delegated to an official, who in England was called a bailiff, or reeve.
Although not typically built with strong fortifications as castles were, many manor-houses were partly fortified; they were enclosed within walls or ditches that often included the farm buildings as well. Arranged for defence against robbers and thieves, they were often surrounded by a moat with a drawbridge, and equipped with small gatehouses and watchtowers, but not with a keep, large towers or lofty curtain walls to withstand a siege. The primary feature of the manor house was its great hall, to which subsidiary apartments were added as the lessening of feudal warfare permitted more peaceful domestic life.
By the beginning of the 16th century, manor houses as well as small castles began to acquire the character and amenities of the residences of country gentlemen. This late 16th-century transformation produced many of the smaller Renaissance châteaux of France and the numerous country mansions of the Elizabethan and Jacobean styles in England.
In Central Europe[edit]
The German equivalent of a manor house is a Gutshaus (or Gut, Gutshof, Rittergut, Landgut or Bauerngut). Also Herrenhaus and Domäne are common terms. Schloss (pl. Schlösser) is another German word for a building similar to manor house, stately home, château or palace. Other terms used in German are Burg (castle), Festung (fort/fortress) and Palais/Palast (palace).

The architectural form of the Polish manor house (Polish: dwór) evolved around the late Polish Renaissance period and continued until the Second World War, which, together with the communist takeover of Poland, spelled the end of the nobility in Poland. A 1944 decree nationalized most mansions as property of the nobles, but few were adapted to other purposes. Many slowly fell into ruin over the next few decades.

Before around 1600, larger houses were usually fortified, reflecting the position of their owners as feudal lords, de facto overlords of their manors. The Tudor period of stability in England saw the building of the first of the unfortified great houses. Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries saw many former ecclesiastical properties granted to the King's favourites, who then converted them into private country houses. Woburn Abbey, Forde Abbey and many other mansions with Abbey or Priory in their name often date from this period as private houses.
It was during the second half of the reign of Elizabeth I and under her successor James I that the first architect-designed mansions, thought of today as epitomising the English country house, began to make their appearance. Burghley House, Longleat House, and Hatfield House are among the best known.
These houses were not all referred to as "manor houses" or called "Manor". Other terms used include "Palace", "Castle", "Court", "Hall", "Mansion", "Park", "House", "Place" and "Tower".

On the Iberian Peninsula[edit]
Galicia (Spain)[edit]
A pazo is a type of grand old house found in Galicia. Similar to a manor house, a pazo is usually located in the countryside and the former residence of an important nobleman or other important individual. They were of crucial importance to the rural and monastic communities around them. The pazo was a traditional architectural structure associated with a community and social network. It usually consisted of a main building surrounded by gardens, a dovecote and outbuildings such as a small chapels for religious celebrations. The word pazo is derived from the Latin palatiu(m) ("palace").
In Spain a good many old manor houses, palaces, castles and grand homes have been converted into a type of hotel called parador.
In Portugal, it was quite common during the 17th to early 20th centuries for the aristocracy to have country homes. These homes, known as solars (paços, when the manor was a certain stature or size; quintas, when the manor included a sum of land), were found particularly in the northern, usually richer, Portugal, in the Beira, Minho, and Trás-os-Montes provinces. Many have been converted into a type of hotel called pousada.
Some famous quintas, paços and, solars:
- Berritzgaard Manor
- Børglum Abbey
- Clausholm Castle
- Dragsholm Castle
- Egeskov Castle
- Fuglsang Manor
- Gavnø Castle
- Glorup Manor
- Krogerup Manor
- Nysø Manor
- Rosenholm Castle
- Svanholm Manor
- Vemmetofte Convent
- Austrått Castle
- Fritzøehus Castle
- Damsgård Manor
- Eidsvollsbygningen
- Fossum hovedgård
- Frogner Manor
- Frogner Hovedgård (Skien)
- Linderud gård
- Jarlsberg Manor
- Store Milde Hovedgård
In Western Europe (mainland)[edit]
In France, the terms château or manoir are often used synonymously to describe a French manor-house. Maison-forte is another French word to describe a strongly fortified manor-house, which may include two sets of enclosing walls, drawbridges, and a ground-floor hall or salle basse that was used to receive peasants and commoners. The salle basse was also the location of the manor court, with the steward or seigneur's seating location often marked by the presence of a crédence de justice or wall-cupboard (shelves built into the stone walls to hold documents and books associated with administration of the demesne or droit de justice). The salle haute or upper-hall, reserved for the seigneur and where he received his high-ranking guests, was often accessible by an external spiral staircase. It was commonly "open" up to the roof trusses, as in similar English homes. This larger and more finely decorated hall was usually located above the ground-floor hall. The seigneur and his family's private chambres were often located off of the upper first-floor hall, and invariably had their own fireplace (with finely decorated chimney-piece) and frequently a latrine.
In addition to having both lower and upper halls, many French manor houses also had partly fortified gateways, watchtowers, and enclosing walls that were fitted with arrow or gun loops for added protection. Some larger 16th-century manors, such as the Château de Kerjean in Finistère, Brittany, were even outfitted with ditches and fore-works that included gun platforms for cannons. These defensive arrangements allowed maisons-fortes, and rural manors to be safe from a coup de main perpetrated by an armed band as there was so many during the troubled times of the Hundred Years War and the wars of the Holy League; but it was difficult for them to resist a siege undertaken by a regular army equipped with (siege) engines.[2]
There are many historical manor houses throughout the Netherlands.[3] Some have been converted into museums, hotels, conference centres, etc. Some are located on estates and in parks.
Many of the earlier houses are the legacy of the feudal heerlijkheid system. The Dutch had a manorial system centred on the local lord's demesne. In Middle Dutch this was called the vroonhof or vroenhoeve, a word derived from the Proto-Germanic word fraujaz, meaning "lord". This was also called a hof and the lord's house a hofstede. Other terms were used, including landhuis (or just huis), a ridderhofstad (Utrecht), a stins or state (Friesland), or a havezate (Drente, Overijssel and Gelderland). Some of these buildings were fortified. A number of castles associated with the nobility are found in the country. In Dutch, a building like this was called a kasteel, a slot, a burcht or (in Groningen) a borg.
During the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, merchants and regents looking for ways to spend their wealth bought country estates and built grand new homes, often just for summer use. Some purchased existing manor houses and castles from the nobility. Some country houses were built on top of the ruins of earlier castles that had been destroyed during the Dutch Revolt. The owners, aspiring to noble status, adopted the name of the earlier castle.
These country houses or stately homes (called buitenplaats or buitenhuis in Dutch) were located close to the city in picturesque areas with a clean water source. Wealthy families sent their children to the country in the summer because of the putrid canals and diseases in the city. A few still exist, especially along the river Vecht, the river Amstel, the Spaarne in Kennemerland, the river Vliet and in Wassenaar. Some are located near former lakes (now polders) like the Wijkermeer, Watergraafsmeer and the Beemster. In the 19th century, with improvements in water management, new regions came into fashion, such as the Utrecht Hill Ridge (Utrechtse Heuvelrug) and the area around Arnhem.
Today there is a tendency to group these grand buildings together in the category of "castles". There are many castles and buitenplaatsen in all twelve provinces. A larger-than-average home is today called a villa or a herenhuis, but despite the grand name this is not the same as a manor house.
A few of the more prominent Dutch manor houses are:
- Huis Doorn (Doorn, near Utrecht)
- Slot Heemstede (Heemstede, near Haarlem)
Outside Europe[edit]
The term "manor house" can be used to refer to any grand, stately home, including those that do not have a history rooted in European feudalism.

Fighting your own life and making your own rules.
Bruising your present trying to renew your past.
I want you to see that living backwards, living without just.. just isn't for us.
How can you hurt someone you witness only attempting to better themselves?
Why do you deserve to breathe if that's all you think your heart is for?
You cannot inhale or exhale without someone loving you.
You cannot love someone or be loved without inhaling or exhaling.
You must recognize your own cycle, your own purpose..
Acknowledge life. Allow life and Accept life.
I'm just saying I know you don't sleep alone.
I didn't drink the night I saw two heads sharing one pillow and intertwined like they could mold themselves into a red vine, just from four glasses of wine. Smokey vibes, Im guessing before bed you got her high. More for your entertainment than for her amusement. I was actually awaiting the moment you would snatch her energy and abuse it.
I was stealing precious moments from the both of you, moments you intended to spend alone. I was being a thief that night, sober and harmless but I was armed. I had your hand prints around my waistline.. where they used to hold me securely, I was wired at my temples with memories of nights we used to spend just like that and my protection wouldn't be complete without the kisses you left on my lips. What about the kisses you left on my lips? They're fading away each time you lay your lips upon hers, im becoming defenseless and weak. Im falling to the ground, grasping myself, suffocating in disbelief. You will die inside of me tonight and you will never know but I will die outside of your window for you to find as you open it to take in a new breath of air. You will see me lying there and place your hands on my waistline to carry me and put your temple to mine as you recall a brief overview of our time spent together, for the last time you will place your lips on mine allowing me to take back the very strength you took from me.
I'm sleeping alone.
I'm aware that I know everything about nothing and nothing about everything.
The night alarms are silenced and the morning panic has faded. Peace has been declared and my mind is in the pink. The sensations bolting through my chest are real and I'm infused with scents of rebirthed souls and seeing clear through..the vision of.. my future, or ours?
If I could hold you, a little while longer..
Maybe before bed, before breakfast, or in between nightmares.
If you could hold me a little longer..
Perhaps after a party, after hanging with the guys, or in between a bed full of others.
My grip would be stronger, so if ever we're apart you still couldn't escape.
Your grip has always been longer. I knew you still had a hold on me.
..I'm still trying to leave.
What do I need you for, if you're just going to buy me things I can purchase on my own?
I was never naive. I knew before you did.
Knew you would hurt me, knew you would lie, knew you would be unfair, knew the things you would hide. You came in with blind eyes, you had no idea.. that one day you'd leave me and leave me in pieces. You knew it was love, for you at least. I knew to hold back, to never release.. anything I was tempted to feel, EVERYTHING.. no matter how real. You were my victim, heartbroken before the end. I saw how things would play out, knew I'd only end up as your friend. I was selfish to keep you, to withhold you from your truth.. I apologize. Our mirror love is gone, what you did I did back to you and for that cycle we had no chance.. but if only you knew.
For the very last time last night, I witnessed you in my dream- my last dream.
Dreams would no longer be worthy of the tiltle after experiencing your leaving from them.
A hidden note, a disguised message you read to me as I tried to touch you for the first of this last time with you. Although you stood at a distance with the least interest towards me, paying no mind, not giving a single glance, speaking no words with your mouth or expressions - I still reached out for you. Hoping that staring clear through you would make you notice me, this last time. I read the message and burned it soon after, assuming negligence was burning with it, but the warmth I searched for in your eyes only added heat to the flame. In reality chaos was going on around me, I was afraid to open my eyes. I didn't want to leave you, though you'd already left me. I was under the impression for all of this time that my dream was the only place you couldn't steal yourself away from me, I was wrong. Just like you slipped through my fingers once, you proved you'd do it again- for this last time. I risked opening my eyes this morning, with the painful realization that you're gone. I reread your note, registered in the back of my mind "don't come looking", I didn't cry- I'll save those tears for the disappointment of you not coming back tonight.
I walk on fire, my spirit is the beam.
This confidence that's on my skin, I can't take off.
It's glowing and giving off shimmer, even in the dark.
I didn't ask to be seen. Only needed to be heard.
My voice is dry, no flicker, no flare.
Domineering my way through the flood of still flesh, just to be the tongue of volume.
Refusing to subscribe to the code of this noxious world.
I am not the cure to worriment, I AM THE THE RESTORATIVE FOR MY OWN ANIMA.

IFTF + You
Technology Horizons
The Technology Horizons program combines a deep understanding of technology and societal forces to identify and evaluate discontinuities and innovations in the next three to ten years. We help organizations develop insights and strategic tools to better position themselves for the future. Our approach to technology forecasting is unique—we put people at the center of our forecasts. Understanding humans as consumers, workers, householders, and community members allows IFTF to help companies look beyond technical feasibility to identify the value in new technologies, forecast adoption and diffusion patterns, and discover new market opportunities and threats.
Program Highlights
2013 Research Agenda
The Future at the Intersection of Creators, Context, and Computation
Science and technology has the power to make and remake society. As Marshall McLuhan once said, "We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us." Technology can profoundly improve society and our quality of life, but it often creates more uncertainty, leading to massive disruption. At the same time, it raises the stakes of the choices we make and the roles we play in our communities and organizations.
IFTF's approach to technology forecasting takes a holistic approach to understanding the three factors that shape innovation:
New groups, individuals, and even non-human agents are driving advances in how things are made, how processes are designed, and how innovation is achieved. These creators and makers are leveraging open software and systems, lowered barriers to entry, and new crowdfunding models to democratize technology, tinker with what already exists, push the limits of what's possible, and accelerate innovation.
What drives these creators? What influences their ideas about how technology can and should be used? What social and organizational factors drive, or limit, their maker mindset? What new forms of collaboration and what collaboration tools connect and empower them globally? How are the demographics, identities, and kinds of roles people play in innovation changing?
All technological advancements are a product of certain conditions, but once they are introduced into the world, these technologies can create new contexts and conditions that amplify or disrupt people's lives at home, in communities, and in organizations. Economic and funding factors, political and regulatory climates, energy and power systems, intellectual property regimes, culture and aesthetics, and many other factors dramatically influence the course of any new technology. Indeed, for technology forecasting to add value, we must consider these often subtle and complex conditions, and avoid missing the trajectory and speed of change.
What are the larger contextual factors shaping the demand for new technologies? What urgent problems or challenges are their creators responding to? What resources and constraints support and accelerate the pace of invention and innovation? How do ecosystems of technology and users interact to shape future possibilities?
Computing power is growing rapidly and becoming near pervasive in the tools, interactions, and environments that shape and give meaning to our everyday lives. Computation, whether contained in our computing devices, or embedded in living and non-living entities in the world, is driving a new way of understanding and interacting with things and with each other. Computation may be changing itself, as biocomputers using DNA, quantum computers, and non-traditional "smart devices" emerge from the laboratory. Computation provides the opportunity to re-program the world to achieve desired outcomes, to coordinate and move things around us, to manage the flood of digital information washing over us, and to navigate the blended reality of our lives. Indeed, the proliferation of cheap, embedded, and networked computation is perhaps this century's greatest technological transformation. And it's only just begun.
What new paradigms of computation are on the horizon? What previously intractable information processing challenges will yield to these new paradigms? How are new forms and theories of computation driving broader shifts in fundamental social, scientific, and technological frameworks?
Creators, Context, and Computation
This year, we will explore the future of science and technology within a framework of these three factors that are inextricably linked to the story of innovation. We will tease out the transformations and disruptions at the intersection of creators, context, and computation. Through a series of open forecasting events, client meetings, and research deliverables, the Technology Horizons program looks forward to immersing you in its forecasts by sharing ideas, practices, and connections through interactive experiences.
Spring › The Age of Networked Matter: How Interconnecting Everything Will Transform Our World
An astounding array of everyday objects—from food to furniture, from buses to bodies—are becoming connected and interconnected. As we've shown in previous research, the virtual and real are melding into a blended reality, novel tools for "programming" our world are on the horizon, and new species of robots will move out of the laboratory and into our cities, offices, homes, and schools. The culmination of this transformation will be a reignited revolution in networked Computation, much like we saw at the dawn of the web—but this time it will be atoms rather than just bits. Myriad forms of matter are moving onto the network beyond even the most grandiose visions of an "Internet of Things," from objects that blog to social networks for robots, the secret language of cellular communication we don't yet understand to the possibility of hardwired "telepathy" between people. In this foundational forecast, we will look at the emerging technologies in computation, sensing and actuation, wireless, materials science, and even biology that will underpin the coming Age of Networked Matter. We will interact with Creators that are not only advancing how things are made but are moving us closer and closer into this age as they reimagine and reinvent the Context and meaning of their lives whether it is their home, work, community, or even their own bodies.
- Forecast Map: The map will forecast the new age of networked matter, identifying the transformations and disruptions at the intersection of creators, context, and computation.
- Conference: Join us for an open and collaborative two-day experience to immerse yourself in the forecasts, identify strategic insights for you and your organization, get hands-on practice with emerging tools, and engage with a network of technology innovators, May 16-17, 2013, San Francisco Bay Area.
Fall › Maker Cities: The New Geography of Science and Technology Innovation
Cities have always captured our imagination; they are the nexus where ideas, people, and future possibilities come together. Whether they are imagined as high tech metropolises, models of ecological sustainability, or platforms for the sharing economy, cities are where we are making the future.
What is a Maker City? Maker Cities are the hubs where the interplay of Creators, Context, and Computation accelerates future possibilities. Whether makers are tinkering at the fringes of society or are embraced as part of its economic and regional advantage, every city has makers in it. But the real question is: how pervasive is the maker mindset and what are they making? Cities contain innovation milieus shaped by their unique social, cultural, economic, and urban conditions that drive local creativity, playfulness, desire, and aspiration for change. Whether they are defining new forms of collaboration and knowledge creation, or providing the platforms to mix and remix the tools of biology and life sciences, or pioneering new ways to live in the age of networked matter, maker cities are where people are inspired to change and remake the world around them.
Indeed, there is a new geography of science and technology innovation emerging in Maker Cities all over the world. This summer and fall, IFTF will begin an ongoing, on-the-ground exploration of Maker Cities. We'll start this exploration by embedding IFTF in different Maker Cities and hosting 48-hour collaborative forecasting events to map the disruptions and innovations that will shape the next decade of science and technology. We'll look beyond new inventions and incremental change, to identify the advances that will have far-reaching implications for people, organizations, and society.
- Atlas of Maker Cities: A map of the new geography of science and technology innovation emerging from Maker Cities around the world. The atlas will include a map of future possibilities and hotspots emerging from the interplay of creators, context, and computation, and a set of forecast perspectives and tools for deeper immersion and strategic action.
- Client Meeting: Invite us to your location in Fall 2013. Technology Horizons will present its 2013 forecasts and facilitate a Foresight to Insight to Action session with you and your colleagues to identify the opportunities and disruptions for your organization and markets.

1999Few people have tried to search their hearts to make sure they are free of prejudice. Many are not aware of the prejudice and discrimination they see every day. Our entry helps our audience to become aware of the prejudice in their minds. It then helps people to think of ways to overcome it. Because prejudice and stereotyping is the beginning of discrimination, our entry will help eliminate discrimination. In helping our audience think of ways to overcome prejudice (the birth mother of discrimination) we did not use books written by other people. By this, we tried to make our stories sound more from the heart and our theories more convincing. The body of our entry comes solely from our 13 years of experiences and thinking. This makes our entry unique and original in every way. We have also made a message board where others from all over the world can share their unique experiences and original ideas. While this fosters collaboration by users, it also helps to give users a stronger impression which will motivate actions toward the elimination of discrimination.

A new contest is building bridges between biotechnology researchers and entrepreneurs in the UK and India. Teams of entrants from each country will compete this Friday in Nottingham for two prizes to help them develop their biotechnology and pharmaceutical business ideas into commercially viable ventures.
India's biotechnology industry is developing rapidly, averaging over 50 per cent growth year-on-year. It is already the third largest in the Asia-Pacific region. Meanwhile, Indian universities and scientific research institutes are creating a pool of talented researchers. But lack of support for start-ups remains a challenge.
BioPharm 2020, the UK-India Biotechnology Business Plan Challenge 2010, brings together researchers, academics and industrialists. It will see three shortlisted teams from universities and research institutes across India, and two promising UK teams of researchers, compete for two packages of financial and expert support.
Contestants will pitch to a Dragons' Den of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and senior industry figures this Friday, September 3, chaired by Stefano Pessina, Executive Chairman of Alliance Boots.
They are being judged on the final day of UK-PharmSci 2010, this week's inaugural conference of the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the East Midlands Conference Centre on The University of Nottingham's University Park Campus. This three-day event features some of the world's foremost experts in pharmaceutical sciences, showcasing the best pharmaceutical talent, alongside new research and technologies.
Teams' pitches will consist of a business plan (submitted beforehand), a 20-minute presentation, and a non-disclosing research poster display. Finalists were shortlisted at the end of May, and each team has been provided with mentors and specialist advisors to help develop their full business plan and prepare for the final.
Online master classes by industry experts and entrepreneurs covering different aspects of innovation were developed to help research scientists who entered to develop their competition business plan submission.
In addition to Stefano Pessina, the distinguished competition judging panel will comprise:
Alliance Boots, co-owned by Italian entrepreneur Stefano Pessina, is developing global strategic interests and helping forge links between the UK and Asia. "I am delighted to be chairing the judging panel for this pioneering new competition," said Mr Pessina.
"The future of the pharmaceuticals and the biotechnology industry depends on research and innovation and on nurturing talent worldwide. Links between universities and industry are essential, and this University of Nottingham-led UK-India Science Bridge initiative shows the way forward."
Professor Christine Ennew, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Internationalisation and Science at The University of Nottingham, said: "By combining mentoring and talent across schools, faculties and international campuses here at the University, we're able to provide a compelling support network to help innovative biotechnology researchers develop and commercialise their ideas.
"This competition has drawn on supply chain and logistics expertise from Nottingham University Business School, the world-leading research knowledge in our School of Pharmacy and our commitment to being globally engaged as a university. We're pleased to be able to provide the opportunity to compete for business development support to researchers from across the United Kingdom and India."
Dr Glenn Crocker, Chief Executive of BioCity Nottingham, said: "India is playing an increasingly important role in the global life science industry and so it's vital that we build strong links. It represents an opportunity for BioCity companies, but we also want to encourage the highly skilled and entrepreneurial Indian people to set up their companies around Nottingham. The UK-India Science Bridge will be very useful in this regard."
Led by The University of Nottingham in partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, and the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, the competition provides support to help the brightest and the best of scientists with promising scientific advances underpinning a business idea to progress their concept towards commercial reality.
The winner of the Best UK Entrant Award will receive a package of benefits worth over £40,000 to assist them in starting up a new company, including a £20,000 cash award for early start-up costs, 12 months' business start-up facilities at BioCity in Nottingham, mentoring, business advice and more.
The Best India Entrant Award will provide a package of benefits worth over Rs 15 lakhs to assist in starting up a new company, including Rs 5 lakhs cash award for early start-up costs, two years' incubation facilities at SIDBI-Innovation & Innovation Centre (SIIC) at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, providing room space, accommodation and support with IPR protection costs, lab testing and prototyping costs and more.
The successful shortlisted finalist teams have received team mentoring and support from professional business advisors. Mentors of teams from both countries will attend the final to support their teams.
Journalists are welcome to attend the final by arrangement with Simon Butt or Jenny Townsend.

Notes to editors: The University of Nottingham is ranked in the UK's Top 10 and the World's Top 100 universities by the Shanghai Jiao Tong (SJTU) and the Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings.
More than 90 per cent of research at The University of Nottingham is of international quality, according to RAE 2008, with almost 60 per cent of all research defined as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent'. Research Fortnight analysis of RAE 2008 ranks the University 7th in the UK by research power. In 27 subject areas, the University features in the UK Top Ten, with 14 of those in the Top Five.
The University provides innovative and top quality teaching, undertakes world-changing research, and attracts talented staff and students from 150 nations. Described by The Times as Britain's "only truly global university", it has invested continuously in award-winning campuses in the United Kingdom, China and Malaysia. Twice since 2003 its research and teaching academics have won Nobel Prizes. The University has won the Queen's Award for Enterprise in both 2006 (International Trade) and 2007 (Innovation — School of Pharmacy), and was named 'Entrepreneurial University of the Year' at the Times Higher Education Awards 2008.
Nottingham was designated as a Science City in 2005 in recognition of its rich scientific heritage, industrial base and role as a leading research centre. Nottingham has since embarked on a wide range of business, property, knowledge transfer and educational initiatives (www.science-city.co.uk) in order to build on its growing reputation as an international centre of scientific excellence. The University of Nottingham is a partner in Nottingham: the Science City.
