CMDB Rule for Software Product Association
I'm currently trying to setup Software Licenses in 7.1 for Operation System counts. In 6.5 you could easily search for an OS name but in 7.1 you have to search for a software product. My first method works but requires a targeted inventory policy to run on each machine and determine the OS. This works and I'm able to see counts for each OS. I was wondering if this could possibly be done with a CMDB rule which would eliminate the need for a policy. Basically I'm wondering If I can create a rule to look for all Windows 7 machines (this part is no problem) and assosiate them with the Windows 7 software product (this part I can't seem to find). The only thing I see that looked like it might work was assosiating the machine to the Default Package Policy > Inventory Rule. The rule ran for my test machine but it's not showing up as "installed" in the product. Any ideas?

If you are filing for disability benefits let the Social Security Administration know that you are on active military duty of that you have recently been discharged and the Social Security Administration will handle your claim more quickly. However, be aware that if you are getting non-service connected VA disability benefits; your Social Security benefits can be reduced. You can have both VA service connected disability and Social Security Disability benefits!

Trading a new $12 million firehouse for the prospect of a $555 million expansion of the city's Museum of Modern Art is a story that could only come from San Francisco.
But when the state-of-the-art fire station, the city's first in more than 40 years, opens near the corner of Fifth and Folsom streets Thursday, it will put the city well on the way to that surprising effort, with the museum footing the bill.
Moving one of the nation's busiest fire stations was more than just driving the trucks a few blocks to the new house. Not only is the Folsom Street station a model of new technology, but the change also had to consider the firefighters who will work, live, sleep and eat there during their 24-hour shifts.
For a look at the new station, and how the process worked, click here.

Handshape 2 for the consonants /k/(as in "key"), /v/(as om "VIC"), /z/(as in "zoo"), and the voiced /th/ (as in "though") is made with the index and middle fingers extended parallel to the viewer while the thumb is hidden behind the palm and the "ring" and little finger are also folded against the palm out of sight. Handshape 3 for the consonants /h/(as in "he", /s/(as in "see"), and r/(as in "raw" or "hear") is made with the thumb and index finger lightly touching behand the palm while the middle, "ring," and little fingers are extended parallel to the viewer. Visual confusion between 2 and 3 is not likely, but you may have digital dexterity problems when moving quickly from one to the other. Remember, the middle finger is common to both handshapes, and keeping it stationary during the shift may take some practice. Here is a suggestion which may help:
The usual confusion problems involving 2 and 3 lie elsewhere; we'll get to those in a moment. But, first, establish the skill of moving freely and quickly from one to the other with these simple-to-cue words. Monitor yourself in a mirror or work with a partner if at all possible.
- For handshape 3 -- aim your thumb for the index finger.
- For handshape 2 -- aim your thumb for the "ring" finger.
"hair"(3-c,3-s] "rare"[3-c,3-s] "there"[2-c,3-s]
"Zayre"[2-c,3-s] "care"[2-c,3-s] "wreck"[3-c,2-s]
"this"[2-t,3-s] ""horse"[3-c,3-s,3-s]
"course"[2-c,3-s,3-s] "source"[3-c,3-s,3-s]
"Zeke"[2-m,2-s] "Zeus"[2-c,3-s]
"risk"[3-t,3-s,2-s] ""risky"[3-t,3-s,2-t]
"very" [2-c,3-t] "Kerry"[2-c,3-t] "carry" [2-t,3-t]
"husk"[3-s/d,3-s,2-s] "Rusk"[3-s/d,3-s,2-s]
"thus"[2-s/d,3-s] "husky"[3-s/d,3-s,2-t]

"hooker"[3-t,2-m] "rook"[3-t,2-s] "cook"[2-t,2-s]
One very common cueing error influenced by English spelling involves words which contain two "r" letters on the printed page -- but not in speech! We are talking about such words as "hurry," "furry," "surrey," "curry," "Murray" etc. Cue them as /hur-i/ [3-m,5-t], /sur-i/ [3-m,5-t] etc. Don't put in the extra /r/ cue. BUT -- and many people do this -- if you cue-and-say these words as /huh-ri/ [3-s/d,3-t], /Muh-ri/ [5-s/d,3-t] etc. then you should cue the /r/ at the beginning of the second syllable.
And for those in the upper Midwest who say /hur-ee/[3-m,3-m] you will want to cue the second syllable at the mouth -- not at the throat. Confusing, isn't it? That's why there are no cue positions listed for the following practice words. If you say "sore" as /sawr/ then you cue 3-c,3-s. If you say "sore" as /sohr/ then cue 3-s/f,3-s. Or if you regularly say "here" as /heer/ then cue 3-m,3-s, but if you say /hir/ cue 3-t,3-s. Just be consistent with yourself.
"core" "roar" "course" "of course" "source" "hoarse" "score" "recourse" "resource" "divorce" "Morse" "pores" "door" "yours" "hear" "seer" "Sears" "career" "veneer" "Zaire" "dear"
There is a special practice lesson for /s/-/z/ plural forms of words elsewhere in this manual if you need it. Briefly, common words which normally end in the sounds /p/,/t/,/k/,/f/ and the voiceless /xh/ are said with an /s/ sound [handshape 3].
"cooks" "rakes" "bikes" "pups" "wraps" "drapes" "thoughts" "prints""punts" "whiffs" "cliffs" "coughs" "myths" "baths" "births"
Plural forms of common words which end in all other sounds EXCEPT /s/,/z/,/sh/./zh,/ch/ or /j/ are said with a /z/ sound [handshape 2].
"cabz" "robez" "ribz" "roadz" "braidz" "bidz" "bagz" "bugz" "pigz" "dogz" "cavez" "fivez" "grovez" "groovez" "lathez" "scythez" "clothez" "billz" "ballz" "hillz" "barz" "covez" "fourz" "playz" "fliez" "gluez" "Shahz" "lawz" "plowz" "clamz" "planz" "swingz" "thingz"
And please /pleez/ don't let English spelling trip you up when cueing-and-saying such words as "waltz" (that's /s/ -- not /z/!), "Schultz," "pizza," "schmaltz" etc.
Perhaps the following contrasting pairs of words will help you to hear when to cue /s/ and when to cue /z/:source - sores Cora's - chorus noose - news lose - loose deuce - dues hers - hearse fours - force ones - once bums - bumps ells - else offends - offence boys - Boyce joys - Joyce graze - grace plays - place May's - mace rays -race lies - lice falls - false malls - malts rise - rice clams - clamps dams - damps rams - ramps brings - brinks prize - price peas - peace fleas - fleece lands - lance loves - luffs plans - plants Dan's - dance man's - manse trance - trans gross -grows decrees - decrease knees - niece vies - vice draws - dross jaws - joss face - phase fuzz - fuss
For carry-over practice, try these phrases and short sentences.
"Davey Crockett" "corn on the cob" "ride in the car" "Merry Christmas" "Happy Hanukah" "This is very cozy." "Is he crazy?" "Sarah's very vague." "The very thought of you" "Suzie sews for her mother." "Zorro rides again." "He took a vacation in Zanzibar." "Could you use this case?" "Supper's ready!" "No cavities this time." "Take care of your sister." "Have a cracker." "He carved a cake of soap." "Carl's in school." "Karen isn't here." "That's it!" "There's a crow." "Can you carry that?" "Say that over again." "This is ridiculous!" "The Chex are in that box."

What a difference a few days make. On Tuesday at the Carbon High gym it was all business for the Lady Dinos when they battled the Lady Spartans from Emery in a close game for top honors in Region 8.
On Thursday, with that painful loss behind them and a weak Salem Hills in town, it was all smiles and a very relaxed squad that took to the hardwood.
From the beginning of the night, until the very end, it was all Carbon as they demolished the Lady Sky Hawks 78-22.
"It was good that we could put the Emery game behind us and play relaxed and have fun," said coach Cami Carlson after the game. "We were able to play all 15 of our players and most of them scored. Hopefully, this gets us in a positive frame of mind to finish out the season. With a second place finish we still get a home play-in game and that is a huge advantage going into the tournament."
The Dinos wasted no time in establishing the tempo of the game. It was evident by the end of the first period that this was the Dinos contest. They were up 19-5.
Even though they continued to control the game, the Dinos struggled a bit with their shots in the second quarter as they couldn't find the net as easily as in the first. Both teams were called for fouls and the pace slowed as each team went to the line over and over. Still the lead grew and Carbon was up by 16 heading into the locker room.
The Sky Hawks found the net only once in the third period while the Dinos scored at will. By the fourth Carbon was rotating players in the game liberally and the entire bench saw playing time.
During Tuesday's game against Emery the Dinos needed a three point shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. It bounced out and the game was over.
On Thursday they found they had the ball again at the buzzer. They didn't need any more points, but sophomore Kristin Jewkes came away with a steal in Salem Hills territory and heaved it half court. Nothing but net as the shot swished through the goal to the delight of the crowd.
Tia Pappas had a huge game for the Dinos with 20 points, eight steals and 6-7 from the line. She was the Carbon player of the game. Julia Potts crashed the boards for six rebounds and grabbed six steals.
The Lady Dinos finish up region play next week with an away game against Juan Diego and then back home to face the Lady Rabbits of Delta on Thursday.
"Delta will be tough this Thursday, but we should be able to handle them," concluded Carlson after the game.

The sixth annual International Symposium on the Diabetic Foot (ISDF) recently met in the Netherlands to achieve a consensus for the next generation of worldwide guidelines for the diabetic foot. I was one of 1,000 participants from 77 nations to attend with one mission: improve the quality of care for patients with diabetes.
Before the meeting, delegates from each nation worked to ratify consensus documents on peripheral vascular disease, infection and wound healing. The American delegates included myself and Joseph Mills, MD, from the University of Arizona; Benjamin Lipsky, MD, from the University of Washington; and Lawrence Lavery, DPM, MPH, from the University of Texas Southwestern.
There were approximately a dozen invited faculty for plenary lectures and more than 200 oral and poster presentations covering an astonishing range of topics. Those topics included infection, neuropathy, offloading, diabetic footwear and wound healing.
Peter Cavanagh, PhD, DSc, presented a superb talk in which he took the costs of care for two patients, one with a simple condition and one complex, and compared costs around the world in nations including Chile, the United States, Tanzania and India. The data were really interesting. As you might imagine, the country with highest costs was the United States. However, when you factored in salary, the presence or absence of insurance (national or just private) and other data, things changed dramatically.
Attendance at the ISDF included a full range of multidisciplinary specialists including podiatrists, internists, endocrinologists, diabetologists, general surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, vascular surgeons, neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, infectious disease specialists, dermatologists, human movement scientists, general practitioners, diabetes educators, wound care specialists, orthotists, casting technicians and other healthcare providers.
The key thing, which can sound deceptively simple, is to team up with your colleagues. When you team up with someone from another discipline who cares about this problem, it is a little like pizza. Even if it is bad, it is still pretty good.

Gov. Dave Heineman says he plans to sign a bill that would require some health insurers to offer coverage for autism screenings and therapy.
Heineman will hold a public bill signing on Monday along with autism advocates at the Capitol. Insurance plans under the new law would cover up to 25 hours per week of behavioral health treatment, and insured children would continue to qualify for coverage until they turn 21 years old.
Sen. Colby Coash of Lincoln says he introduced the bill because he has seen the benefits the treatment can provide for children.
Certain insurance plans will be exempt from the autism requirement, including those that are sold in the individual and small group markets under the new federal health care marketplace.

Automatic Microphone Mixer
|Product Information
|The DMM 4/2/2 is a processor controlled digital automatic mixer with four balanced microphone inputs, two stereo AUX inputs and one master output. A unique and highly effective, intelligent mixing algorithm automatically allocates gain among the system microphones (NOM attenuation). A special noise detection function and the "Noise Sensitive Threshold" algorithm (NST) prevent accidental activation of input channels.
The mixing algorithm also includes a "Last Mic On" function and a "Best Mic On" mode. Each input channel features low cut as well as LF and HF shelving filters. A dbx compressor/limiter is included in the algorithm to compensate for level differences and provide a significant improvement in sound quality. Each channel offers switchable gain (Mic/Line, Mic-Lo/Mic-Hi), switchable phantom power, and an incremental level control with LED level and peak hold display. The automixing and ducking functions can be enabled and disabled for each microphone and AUX channel separately.
An expansion connector enables multiple DMM 4/2/2 mixers to be daisy-chained for larger systems. A rear-panel control I/O port provides logic in and outputs for controlling external devices.
The DMM 4/2/2 is housed a rugged 19" case with an integrated power supply.

Ken Wilber: "Barack Obama is likely moving into truly Integral waves of development"
Ken Wilber, one of the leading spiritual philosophers of our time, has finally condescended to illuminate us as to his admiration for our new President—now that Mr. Obama has won and, you know, the election's already decided.
You heard it here first. Well, third. Okay, sixth.
"There probably hasn't been as much rampantly enthusiastic idealism surrounding a president since the election of John F. Kennedy than there is around Barack Obama. In the Integral community, this naturally translates into the question, "Is Obama Integral?"
I have put off responding to this question until now, first, because I didn't want to get involved in active politics (because there is as yet no Integral Politics in place), but second (and over-riding the first), I don't think we've have enough genuine information to tell. Notice, for example, that a major watchdog organization ranked Obama in the top 1 or 2 most liberal senators in Congress—hardly a badge of integral inclusiveness.
And yet, particularly as the campaign progressed, Obama began making increasingly Integral-sounding pronouncements. In fact, an Integral analysis of his acceptance speech by Corey deVos and Clint Fuhs showed a genuinely high percentage of Integrally-comprehensive language and ideas (especially compared to the other candidates). It seems, in fact, that somewhere during the campaign itself, Obama went from green exit (the pluralistic stage of development, with its inherently high liberalism) to initial teal Integral waves (the first Integral stages of development, with inherent Integrally-oriented political stances). Increasingly his language and his values systems seemed to shift, right before one's eyes, into Integral spaces.
It is, of course, still too soon to make a solid judgment about this, but it seems safe to say that Barack Obama is likely moving into truly Integral waves of development and therefore beginning to evidence truly Integral values and positions. Combined with his already significantly developed states (which gives the very notable Radiance and Presence to his being), this means we might very well be seeing, certainly for the first time in this century, a truly Integrally-oriented President of the United States. In this climate of possibility, reigns the intense idealism and sense of promise that this new President brings with him: the hope and promise that a new tomorrow is truly possible, and that it is beginning now, right now. If so, this is indeed a genuinely historical moment, when Integral consciousness has actually descended in and through the voice and vision of the most powerful person on the planet. We are truly beginning to enter the Integral Age, and Barack Obama's voice might be the most notable and important Integral voice in the political arena. How can we know for sure? Stay tuned!"

3 Responses to "Ken Wilber: "Barack Obama is likely moving into truly Integral waves of development""
[…] See the original post: Ken Wilber: "Barack Obama is likely moving into truly Integral … […]
[…] Ken Wilber is one of today's greatest philosophers, a towering man built like an athlete whose brain is bigger than elephantjournal dot com's 68K monthly readers combined. Because I've had the honor of knowing him a bit since way back in my days slaving away at Shambhala Publications, and have interviewed him for elephant, folks often ask me about him. They always start with this question (always): is Ken Wilber really as arrogant as he seems?). And I always answer, "Definitely. But at least he has something to be arrogant about. Me, I'm at least as arrogant as Wilber, but I have no excuse—I'm no genius." […]
You guys are terrifying. Please remember the last politician annointed by Wilber, and welcomed to his respective country's position as nation's most powerful with similar fanfare and hope – Tony Blair. And yes, many of the British people still hate him for what he has done (and it ain't just about Iraq).
Integral, PLEASE stop being taken in by charismatics (well intentioned or not) willing to use coercive State power to improve the world. And please learn some sound classical economics, the West's most important lineage carrying the ethical and Natural Law limitations of what the State thinks it can achieve.

By now, you've probably heard about the massive security flaw known as the Heartbleed bug. If you haven't, then here's a quick summary:
Heartbleed is a flaw in OpenSSL. Occasionally, one computer may want to check on another computer to ensure that there is a secure connection on the other. In order to do so, it will send out a small packet of data that will ask for a response – like a heartbeat.
However, researchers discovered that it was possible to send a well-disguised packet of data that looked like one of these heartbeats to trick the computer at the other end into sending data stored in its memory. To make matters worse, it has recently been realized that the code in SSL has been opened for the past two years and doesn't leave much of a trace.
This raises several important questions, not only for testers and developers, but also for the average web user. Let's take a look at a few in particular:
1. Are You Affected?
Probably. Since hundreds of thousands of sites were affected, chances are that you have used at least of them on a fairly regular basis. While there is no way to tell with 100% certainty, many experts are urging people to take the necessary precautions, which leads us to our next key question…
2. How Can You Protect Yourself?
According to Business Insider, the best way to tackle this problem is to assume that the worst has already happened. Most major service providers are already updating their sites and taking proactive security measures, but you should also go through and change your passwords as well and assume that your accounts have already been compromised (as awful as that sounds).
CNET advises that you should check your financial statements over these next few days in order to ensure that your privacy is still intact and that your financial accounts have not been compromised. A hacker that has accessed a bank server, for instance, has likely snagged information regarding recent credit card activity.
3. What Passwords Should I Change?
Mashable has recently launched a list of the sites that you should strongly consider changing your passwords on, including:
- Tumblr
- Google & Gmail
- Yahoo & Yahoo Mail
- Amazon Web Services
- GoDaddy
- Intuit (TurboTax)
- Dropbox
- LastPass
- OKCupid
- SoundCloud
- Wunderlist
4. What Websites Are Affected?
The most popular sites affected by the Heartbleed bug, according to Digital Trends anyway, were:
- Yahoo
- OKCupid
- Kickass.to
- Flickr
- Steamcommunity.com
- Slate
5. What Is Being Done About This Security Breach?
Thankfully, the Heartbleed bug itself is quite easy to fix. Sites are currently updating their software and security certificates in order to ensure that the bug will no longer harm its users and potentially breach the data that consumers have entrusted with them.
As testers and app quality enthusiasts, we're interested to get your thoughts on why this bug existed for such a long period of time before being discovered. Have an answer? Be sure to share it in the comments below!

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (Movie Tie-In Edition)by Max Brooks
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Now a major motion picture
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.
Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War.
Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction, "By excluding the human factor, aren't we risking the kind of personal detachment from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end, isn't the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer to as 'the living dead'?"
Note: Some of the numerical and factual material contained in this edition was previously published under the auspices of the United Nations Postwar Commission.
Eyewitness reports from the first truly global war:
"I found 'Patient Zero' behind the locked door of an abandoned apartment across town. . . . His wrists and feet were bound with plastic packing twine. Although he'd rubbed off the skin around his bonds, there was no blood. There was also no blood on his other wounds. . . . He was writhing like an animal; a gag muffled his growls. At first the villagers tried to hold me back. They warned me not to touch him, that he was 'cursed.' I shrugged them off and reached for my mask and gloves. The boy's skin was . . . cold and gray . . . I could find neither his heartbeat nor his pulse." —Dr. Kwang Jingshu, Greater Chongqing, United Federation of China
"'Shock and Awe'? Perfect name. . . . But what if the enemy can't be shocked and awed? Not just won't, but biologically can't! That's what happened that day outside New York City, that's the failure that almost lost us the whole damn war. The fact that we couldn't shock and awe Zack boomeranged right back in our faces and actually allowed Zack to shock and awe us! They're not afraid! No matter what we do, no matter how many we kill, they will never, ever be afraid!" —Todd Wainio, former U.S. Army infantryman and veteran of the Battle of Yonkers
"Two hundred million zombies. Who can even visualize that type of number, let alone combat it? . . . For the first time in history, we faced an enemy that was actively waging total war. They had no limits of endurance. They would never negotiate, never surrender. They would fight until the very end because, unlike us, every single one of them, every second of every day, was devoted to consuming all life on Earth." —General Travis D'Ambrosia, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe
"An 'oral history' of the global war the evil brain-chewers came within a hair of winning. Zombies are among us — turn on your television if you don't believe it. But, Brooks reassures us, even today, human fighters are hunting down the leftovers, and we're winning. [His] iron-jaw narrative is studded with practical advice on what to do when the zombies come, as they surely will. A literate, ironic, strangely tasty treat." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Possesses more creativity and zip than entire crates of other new fiction titles. Think Mad Max meets The Hot Zone....It's Apocalypse Now, pandemic-style. Creepy but fascinating." USA TODAY
"Prepare to be entranced by this addictively readable oral history of the great war between humans and zombies....Will grab you as tightly as a dead man's fist. A." Entertainment Weekly, EW Pick
"Probably the most topical and literate scare since Orson Welles' War of the Worlds radio broadcast....This is action-packed social-political satire with a global view." Dallas Morning News
"This infectious and compelling book will have nervous readers watching the streets for zombies. Recommended." Library Journal
"A horror fan's version of Studs Terkel's The Good War....Like George Romero's Dead trilogy, World War Z is another milestone in the zombie mythology." Booklist
"Brooks commits to detail in a way that makes his nightmare world creepily plausible....Far more affecting than anything involving zombies really has any right to be....The book...opens in blood and guts, turns the world into an oversized version of hell, then ends with and affirmation of humanity's ability to survive the worst the world has to offer. It feels like the right book for the right times, and that's the eeriest detail of all." A.V. Club, The Onion
We survived the zombie apocalypse, but how many of us are still haunted by that terrible time? We have (temporarily?) defeated the living dead, but at what cost? Told in the haunting and riveting voices of the men and women who witnessed the horror firsthand, World War Z, now a #1 New York Times bestseller, is the only record of the plague years.
About the Author
MAX BROOKS' previous book, The Zombie Survival Guide, formed the core of the world's civilian survival manuals during the Zombie War. Mr. Brooks subsequently spent years traveling to every part of the globe in order to conduct the face-to-face interviews that have been incorporated into this present publication.

Lord Howe Island
We just got back from an amazing holiday, thanks to my lovely mother in law. I don't want to gloat too much, but in one day, I swam with (multiple) turtles, saw lion fish, a moray eel, bull rays, a small shark (only a little bit terrifying) and puffer fish, amongst others.
Here are some pics to make you jealous!

Article Summary:
I truly enjoy the challenge of lightweight backpacking and the beautiful experience that comes along with it. This passion of mine involves a lot of numbers. I have a digital scale that gets a workout as I prepare for a trip. Anything that goes into the pack is weight, including food. I've taken a razor blade to my backpack, and trimmed away every little bit of excess that is not absolutely essential. I put the same diligence into my food prep.
Looking at your food and planning how much to carry on an expedition is a real-deal skill, just like pitching the tarp for a windy night.

Elysium is a 2013 American science fiction thriller film written and directed by Neill Blomkamp. It stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Alice Braga and Sharlto Copley.[4]
The film takes place on both a ravaged Earth, and a luxurious space habitat (Stanford torus design) called Elysium.[5] It explores political and sociological themes such as immigration, overpopulation, health care, exploitation, the justice system, and social class issues.[6]
The film was released on August 9, 2013, in both conventional and IMAX Digital theaters. It was a commercial success and received generally positive reviews from critics, even though many[who?] considered it a disappointment after Blomkamp's first film District 9.
In 2154, Earth is overpopulated and polluted. Most of the earth's citizens live in dire poverty, on the edge of starvation, with little technology and medical care. The rich and powerful people live in Elysium — a gigantic, highly advanced and wealthy terraformed space habitat located in Earth orbit. Advanced technology includes Med-Bays — medical machines that can cure all diseases, reverse the aging process and regenerate new body parts. A long-running feud exists between the wealthy Elysium residents and the Earth citizens, who want Elysium technology to cure their medical ailments.
Max Da Costa (Matt Damon), a former car thief on parole lives in the ruins of Los Angeles, and works at an assembly line for Armadyne Corp, a company run by John Carlyle (William Fichtner), who originally designed Elysium, and now supplies its weaponry as well as the robots that police Earth. During an industrial accident at the factory, Max becomes trapped in a chamber and is hit by a lethal dose of radiation. After being rescued he is informed that he has five days to live before succumbing to radiation poisoning. Desperate for a cure, he and his friend Julio (Diego Luna) seek help from a human smuggler named Spider (Wagner Moura) to get him to Elysium; his only chance for survival is using a Med-Bay.
Meanwhile, when a caravan of illegal immigrants from Earth attempts to reach Elysium and its Med-Bays, Elysian Secretary of Defense Delacourt (Jodie Foster) orders a sleeper agent, Kruger (Sharlto Copley), to destroy the shuttles. Elysian President Patel (Faran Tahir) reprimands her for her immoral and unsubtle methods, and threatens to fire her unless she tones down her actions. Regarded as a loose cannon, Kruger is dismissed from service. Delacourt, vowing to protect Elysium and her own power, bargains with John Carlyle to create a program that can override Elysium's computer core to give her the Presidency. Carlyle stores the reboot program in his brain for transport to Elysium and encrypts it with a lethal protection program.
Spider agrees to get Max to Elysium if he steals financial information from Carlyle. To assist him, Spider's men surgically attach a powered exoskeleton to Max. With Julio and a team of Spider's men, Max shoots down Carlyle's ship, and in the ensuing firefight with Carlyle's security droids, Carlyle is fatally wounded. Max downloads the program to his suit's neural implant, but realizes that the encryption makes it unusable. Alerted to the data theft by Carlyle's medical implant, Delacourt secretly reinstates Kruger and deploys him to recover the program. In the ensuing firefight, Julio is killed, and Max is wounded. He reaches out to his childhood friend Frey (Alice Braga), now a nurse, whose daughter Matilda has leukemia. Frey begs Max to take Matilda to Elysium to be cured, but Max refuses in order to protect them. Soon after Max leaves, Kruger arrives and takes Frey and Matilda prisoner aboard his ship, while his drones hunt for Max. Delacourt orders an airspace lockdown over Los Angeles to buy enough time to recover Carlyle's program.
Max delivers the program to Spider, who discovers that the program can be used to make all Earth residents Elysian citizens. However, because the lockdown makes it impossible to leave Earth, Max bargains with Kruger to be taken to Elysium, not knowing that Kruger has already found out that Frey assisted Max and is holding her and Matilda hostage on the ship. As Kruger's ship leaves Earth, Spider and his men take advantage of the lift of the lockdown and also board a ship towards Elysium. Meanwhile, in Kruger's ship, a fight ensues and Kruger is grievously wounded by a grenade blast, which also disables the ship's engines. After Kruger's ship crashes on Elysium, Max, Frey and Matilda are arrested and taken to Delacourt, who orders the download of the program, despite the fact that it will kill Max.
After being restored in a Med-Bay by his lackeys Drake and Crowe, a defiant Kruger kills Delacourt after she chastises him for his recklessness. On Kruger's orders, Drake and Crowe exterminate the Elysian political officers in order to seize control for themselves. Meanwhile, having escaped his confinement, Max, knowing that Med-Bays only work for Elysian citizens, resolves to use Carlyle's program to give everyone on Earth Elysian citizenship. He rescues Frey and Matilda, killing Drake and Crowe on the way. He then meets Spider and heads for Elysium's core but is ambushed by Kruger, now equipped with a military-grade exoskeleton far superior to Max's. In the ensuing fight, Max manages to rip out Kruger's neural implant, rendering his suit immobile. However, Kruger tethers himself to Max's suit and arms a grenade with the intent of killing them both. Max rips off the tether and hurls Kruger over a ledge to his death.
Spider and Max reach Elysium's computer core, where Spider realizes that the program's activation will kill Max. Max personally activates the program, having spoken a last time with Frey via radio. As Max dies, Elysium's computer core reboots and registers every Earth resident as an Elysian citizen. President Patel arrives with security guards but the robots refuse to arrest Spider, whom they now recognize as a citizen. Spider mocks Patel, saying that Elysium now belongs to everyone. Matilda is cured by a Med-Bay and Elysium's computer dispatches a huge fleet of medical ships to Earth to begin treatment of the new Elysian citizens, all people on Earth.

Elysium was produced by Bill Block, Neill Blomkamp and Simon Kinberg, and written and directed by Neill Blomkamp, the director and co-writer of District 9 (2009). It reunites Blomkamp with some of his District 9 crew, such as editor Julian Clarke, production designer Philip Ivey, cinematographer Trent Opaloch, and actor Sharlto Copley, playing one of the film's antagonists. Elysium is a co-production of Media Rights Capital and TriStar Pictures.[7]
Although the film's story is set in 2154, Blomkamp has stated that it is a comment on the contemporary human condition.[4] "Everybody wants to ask me lately about my predictions for the future," the director has said, "No, no, no. This isn't science fiction. This is today. This is now."[8]
In January 2011, independent studio Media Rights Capital met with major studios to distribute Elysium, and Blomkamp shared art designs of his proposed science fiction film. The art designs won over the executives at Sony Pictures, who bought the film after making a more attractive offer than the other studios.[9]
With a production budget of $115 million,[10] production began in July 2011. The film's Earth-bound scenes were shot in a dump in the poor Iztapalapa district on the outskirts of Mexico City, while the scenes for Elysium were shot in Vancouver and the wealthy Huixquilucan-Interlomas suburbs of Mexico City. Matt Damon shaved his head for the role of Max.[11] The main role was first offered to Watkin Tudor Jones (aka Ninja), a South African rapper, who despite being a fan of District 9 (he has a D9 tattoo on his inner lip) did not take the role.[12] The role was then offered to rapper Eminem, but he wanted the film to be shot in Detroit. That was not an option for the two studios, so Blomkamp moved on to Damon as his next choice.[13]
Futuristic designs were executed by Philip Ivey after long periods of researching and studying older science fiction films. Ivey has continuously cited Syd Mead as a substantial influence for the film. Weta Workshop created the exosuits for Damon and Copley's characters, while the complicated visual effects were handled primarily by Image Engine (who also collaborated on District 9) with additional work by Whiskytree, MPC, The Embassy and Industrial Light and Magic. Re-shoots took place through October 2012.[14]
The film's music score was composed by newcomer Ryan Amon and recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the Philharmonia Orchestra.[15] The soundtrack was released on August 6, 2013.
When the film was first announced, Sony intended to release it in late 2012.[9] It later set an official release date for March 8, 2013,[16] before moving one week earlier to prevent competing against Oz the Great and Powerful.[17] In October 2012, Sony then announced they had pushed back the release date to August 9, 2013.[18]
In April 2013, Sony also announced that the film would be specifically reformatted for IMAX theaters. By that time, two theatrical trailers and a TV spot had already been showcased.[19]
On December 17, 2013, Elysium was released on DVD and Blu-ray discs in Region 1.
Box office[edit]
Elysium grossed $93.1 million in the domestic box office and $193 million internationally for a worldwide total of $286 million.[3] The film opened on August 9, 2013 and grossed $11,088,228 on its opening day, ranking #1. It proceeded to rank #1 for the weekend, grossing $29,807,393.[20]
Critical reception[edit]
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 68% approval rating with an average rating of 6.5/10 based on 229 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "After the heady sci-fi thrills of District 9, Elysium is a bit of a comedown for director Neill Blomkamp, but on its own terms, it delivers just often enough to satisfy."[21] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 61 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[22]
Blomkamp comment[edit]
In February 2015, while promoting his newest film, Chappie, director Neil Blomkamp expressed some regrets regarding Elysium, commenting: "I feel like I fucked it up, I feel like ultimately the story is not the right story.. I still think the satirical idea of a ring, filled with rich people, hovering above the impoverished Earth, is an awesome idea. I love it so much, I almost want to go back and do it correctly. But I just think the script wasn't… I just didn't make a good enough film is ultimately what it is. I feel like I executed all of the stuff that could be executed, like costume and set design and special effects very well. But, ultimately, it was all resting on a somewhat not totally formed skeletal system, so the script just wasn't there; the story wasn't fully there."[23]

American, New York City
Couch, 1815 - 1825, maple, gilt paint, cane,
other woods.

In the early nineteenth century the fashionable American
consumer was likely to furnish a home in the Grecian
style. This style originated in France and was popular
in England at the time. American furniture makers would
have learned about the trend by looking at published
designs, imported pieces and the work of their competition.
This couch, one of a pair in the Speed's collection,
would have easily found a place in a stylish American

two distinct sets of artisans,a cabinetmaker and a decorative
painter. Looking at the form of the couch and the painted

Testimony from Brian Lin, PhD, Sr. Account Manager, TSMC
As a result of the
Tak'n It To The Streets
session with Sam Manfer, TSMC secured a DVD maker's wafer business for a
$200M opportunity. In the process we expanded our range of
contacts, got to the COO and CFO and captured 100% of this
manufacturer's wafer business.
Without these interactions we could have easily lost $100 Million
to competition.
Before the session
my focus was mainly engineers and operations people.
The project was moving slowly and I was getting frustrated.
I had paid attention to the COO over time mainly for operational
needs, but, I didn't think of him as one to contribute to this sales
opportunity. So I didn't ask for his help.
Then, in the workshop, Sam helped me to realize he was critical.
He explained what I needed to know from the COO and helped me
prepare the questions to get it.
I met with the COO.
I asked about his concerns.
I listened to his worries about the capacity risks, the new
technology risks, the costs risks and the risk of their sales growth.
I went back and looked for solutions and then proposed them to
him. I asked for his
opinion and recommendations and together we developed the solution that
was right for him. Since he
was part of the solution, he took ownership and became a great coach and
TSMC's supporter. The mask
set NRE and prototype cost were quickly approved.
The CFO was also
vital. He had critical
financial issues that I was unaware of until I met with him.
The $1-2 Million investment had to make financial sense, but the
unit costs had to give them a competitive advantage.
I learned that the growth issues
were the real drivers of the sale – not operational efficiencies.
We showed him how TSMC could help them get a business edge.
If we had focused on the cost of the wafer, we would have lost
his vote and the deal.
Most importantly, I developed a professional
relationship with the CFO and COO so that I now have access to them for
valuable information on future projects.
I am also in position to meet with the CEO.
Tak'n It To The Streets Really Works
We all took
Strategic Selling and Take Me To Your Leader$ a few years ago and it was
a good education, but we never implemented them efficiently because
nobody made us use them.
Consequently we forgot most of the concepts.
Tak'n It To The Streets
was a great refresher, and made me realize how systematic the
processes are. The concepts
fit TSMC's complex sales perfectly and should be our daily routine.
Before the sessions, we would usually just jump-in
with the functional people on anything they threw at us.
Sam's coaching made me stop being reactive and become more
strategic - thinking more about qualifying a good project for TSMC and
developing a systematic plan before investing in it.
It changed my mindset.
Tak'n It To The Streets
is not just another process.
It is a perfect match for our demand generation business
initiative. The sessions
really showed how to put the training to work.
Look at the results of this customer alone – it will generate
$200 Million of wafer revenue for this year; help us grow business by
being more competitive, and helped us secure 100% of this clients wafer
business, and we did it at a higher wafer price.
It is a win-win.
This is a process that really
applies. It will have a
big, ongoing impact for our success.

The Bucs had two others in the top 10, including Emily Walwood in ninth (21:42), and Sara Jacobs in 10th (21:44).
McKenna Mahacek finished strong in the last 500 meters to take 12th, and Taylor DeWitt was 17th.
The Bucs' 'A' team flourished in Allendale, taking seven of the top nine places. Senior Julia Stock was first overall for Grand Haven, clocking in at 18:57.

Duff finished in 16 minutes, 19.1 seconds, while the Bucs' No. 2 runner, Schalk Vanniekerk was right on his heels, taking second at 16:27.1.
"Schalk asked me at the beginning of the race if he could run with Ryan, and I said, 'Well I know you can, but are you going to?' And impressively, he did," said Grand Haven coach John Tarr. "This is what Saturdays are for, experimenting, and today it paid off."
Justin Pippel pulled ahead of a pair of Grandville runners with 100 meters left to take fourth overall at 16:49.8, which helped secure the win for the Bucs.

"Brittany ran a fantastic race and is establishing herself as one of the strongest runners in the area," said Spring Lake coach Aaron Andres. "She looks to continue on her times and is working hard to get there."
The Lakers had a trio of runners flirt with breaking into the 19-minute range, as senior Cory Cook clocked in at 20:03 (23rd), Carlyn Arteaga finished at 20:05 (25th), and Ashley Warner recorded a time of 20:22 (31st).
Jaime Kossuth also placed 51st for the Lakers in 20:56.

Histone deacetylase-4 is required during early cranial neural crest development for generation of the zebrafish palatal skeleton
1 Institute of Neuroscience, 1254 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR, 97403, USA
2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Showa-Inan General Hospital, Akaho 3230, Komagane, 399-4117, Japan

4 Department of Health and Sports Sciences, Mukogawa Women's University, Nishinomiya, 663-8137, Japan
BMC Developmental Biology 2012, 12:16 doi:10.1186/1471-213X-12-16Published: 7 June 2012
Histone deacetylase-4 (Hdac4) is a class II histone deacetylase that inhibits the activity of transcription factors. In humans, HDAC4 deficiency is associated with non-syndromic oral clefts and brachydactyly mental retardation syndrome (BDMR) with craniofacial abnormalities.
We identify hdac4 in zebrafish and characterize its function in craniofacial morphogenesis. The gene is present as a single copy, and the deduced Hdac4 protein sequence shares all known functional domains with human HDAC4. The zebrafish hdac4 transcript is widely present in migratory cranial neural crest (CNC) cells of the embryo, including populations migrating around the eye, which previously have been shown to contribute to the formation of the palatal skeleton of the early larva. Embryos injected with hdac4 morpholinos (MO) have reduced or absent CNC populations that normally migrate medial to the eye. CNC-derived palatal precursor cells do not recover at the post-migratory stage, and subsequently we found that defects in the developing cartilaginous palatal skeleton correlate with reduction or absence of early CNC cells. Palatal skeletal defects prominently include a shortened, clefted, or missing ethmoid plate, and are associated with a shortening of the face of young larvae.
Our results demonstrate that Hdac4 is a regulator of CNC-derived palatal skeletal precursors during early embryogenesis. Cleft palate resulting from HDAC4 mutations in human patients may result from defects in a homologous CNC progenitor cell population.

NBC Signs Long-Term Service Agreement with SES Americom
SES Americom has signed a multi-year, multiple Ku-band transponder renewal agreement with NBC for satellite service on its AMC-1 spacecraft. NBC will use the transponders to distribute a wide range of network programming to more than 200 affiliated stations across the United States.
Also under the agreement, NBC News Channel has begun program delivery aboard AMC-9, expanding NBC's long and valued customer relationship with SES Americom that began with the launch of the satellite service innovator's first all Ku-band satellite back in the mid-1980s.
"The signing of this agreement solidifies our long-standing relationship with NBC; they were the first television network to use Ku-band services on a satellite we launched more than 15 years ago," said Carl Capista, vice president of media and entertainment services for SES Americom.
"The NBC television network, together with NBC News, constantly meets the challenge of offering audiences across America innovative news and entertainment programming each and every day, and SES Americom is proud to play an important role in delivering that compelling content."
"Reliability is the name of the game when it comes to the delivery of NBC's network programming to our affiliates nationwide," said John Wallace, executive vice president, broadcast and network operations for NBC. "We are fully confident in SES Americom'S ability and commitment to provide us with the highest quality satellite distribution services available."

How you interact with other people in your day-to-day life can often be a source of considerable stress. One way to reduce that stress is to learn how to be assertive so you can stand up for your rights and not bully or be bullied by others.
What is assertiveness?
It can be defined as standing up for your personal rights, expressing your own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in a direct and honest way without violating the rights of others. The ultimate goal of being assertive is communication and mutuality, to get and give respect. Communicating assertively does not only include what you say, but also what your body says through non-verbal communication. Examples of assertive non-verbal behaviors are direct eye contact, strong posture, clear/firm audible voice, gestures, and facial expressions used to emphasize (not to intimidate or to hide).
Why would people NOT act assertively?
One reason is that people often mistake assertion for aggression. Aggression also involves standing up for your rights but you end up violating someone else's rights in the process. Often times people mistake passivity for politeness, such as not asking a guest to leave when you really have other things you need to get done. People may not believe or accept their personal rights and therefore not believe they have the right to be assertive and say "no." Another reason why someone may not act assertively is that he/she feels deficient in skills needed to act assertively. Figuring out what keeps you from acting assertively all the time or in particular situations can help you have more fulfilling interactions with other.
