LinkedIn launches better, faster, stronger app for BlackBerry 6 and BlackBerry 7 users
- 0
LinkedIn today released an updated version of its native BlackBerry app. You can download the latest release now from BlackBerry App World (if you don't see it yet, you should by the end of the day).
LinkedIn says the app is "completely revamped" for both BlackBerry 6 and BlackBerry 7 users and that the update makes the LinkedIn mobile experience "simpler, better, and faster." The new LinkedIn for BlackBerry app is also now available in eight new languages: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Indonesian, Hindi, and Portuguese.
Ever been to a tech festival?
TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
Here's how the new app looks like:
The business social network has reorganized its app into four sections:
- Updates: See your network's new connections, job changes, and shared posts from the stream, as well as top news from LinkedIn Today.
- Inbox: View and respond to your invitations and messages both in the same place.
- You: Review your profile, see who's viewed your profile, or share an update.
- Network: Add people you may know or look through your connections.
LinkedIn wants to emphasize three ways BlackBerry users should use the new app. When you have a meeting with a client, you can learn more about them; when you are traveling on public transit, you can see what's trending in the industries you're following; and when you need an ego boost, you see who's viewed your profile. In other words, LinkedIn is still all about keeping on top of your professional life as opposed to your social life.
LinkedIn is one of the few Web companies that actually still cares about Research In Motion and BlackBerry users. This is mainly because LinkedIn is all about business users, and everyone knows that BlackBerry originally catered to that audience, and still arguably does. The two go hand-in-hand, and we expect LinkedIn to keep supporting BlackBerry users more than other social networks do.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.31 / 5.00 5,626 ViewsI made this for an HP Lovecraft class as my final. My teacher has a strange sense of humor so I'm guessing I'll get a decent grade.
UPDATE: I got an A on this flash!
I decided to stay up working on this through 4:30 in the morning. I realized it was a little short, so in a sleep deprived, caffeine fueled stupor, I created an extended ending.
Lots of HP Lovecraft references if you keep your eyes peeled. The three of you who searched for "Cthulhu" and found this may or may not be entertained.
Anyway, hope you guys like this. My good computer is still dead, so I made this with Flash 8 on a computer optimized for Windows 2000. Yes it's that old.
UPDATE: Good computer is back!
My friend TheL1st made the sexier backgrounds, and Xander1062 made the squiddly Cthulhu noises.
Hope you guys like it, I'll probably find it less funny in the morning.
Check out my other cartoons for something good.
EDIT: Fixed some issues, so now you can see what Dagon is saying the second time. Flash is wicked glitchy so I did the best I could.
2nd EDIT: Wow! Front page? Thanks!
I respond to all reviews.
Also, if it's not playing, right click and press play. Don't give me a zero without at least giving a little effort to see the movie!
No. Everything about this off besides the squid noises. If advise the Fear Hole to anyone in search of Lovecraftian stuff on Newgrounds
I understand what you're trying to say, but your English is a little flawed.
I wouldn't doubt if there was a better Lovecraft flash on Newgrounds, but I'd say this is a pretty decent one. Sorry you didn't like it.
Would you mind to give some constructive criticism? I'm not rating yours or other negative reviews useless because of the low score, but because not one of the negative reviewers have the common courtesy to give me a review that isn't pure opinion without anything to back it up.
Tell me what I can do to make it better or don't bother telling me it's bad.
it just sits at 7:59 and doesnt change
You right click and press play. I seriously don't know how anyone can find that a difficult thing to do.
ummmm oooooook
2/10 for effort
This review gets a 0/10 for lack of effort and a 0/5 for lack of constructive criticism.
ruined the Hp Lovecraft universe
it's very evident that you didn't put a whole lot of effort into this. Still about ten times better than anything that egoraptor has done though.
I put in a good amount of effort and enjoy a good deal of Egoraptor's work.
I've put in more effort on other flashes though, I agree.

QR Code Press » Featured News, QR Codes » QR codes employed by German Maestro for consumer education
QR codes employed by German Maestro for consumer education
January 26th, 2013 | Add a Comment
The speaker and audio technology company has enhanced its customer education program with barcodes.
German Maestro took the opportunity at CES to unveil a new program that has been created to assist retailers with more appealing and practical consumer education through the use of QR codes.
Last year, the company launched a different form of "Ask Me" program for retailers.
That system assisted their sales professionals in being able to better educate current and prospective customers who are interested in their products or who have questions about their technologies or brand.
This year's extension of that effort combines the use of QR codes with informational videos.
According to Ray Windsor, the German Maestro USA president, "What we want to have happen is for the consumer, from the time he walks into the store until he is attended to by the sales person, to be occupied with something positive about the brand and the store where the consumer is standing." The answer that the company found, was QR codes, the black and white squares that can be scanned with a smartphone.
By using the new customer education program, retailers will be able to spot QR codes on the German Maestro product displays. This allows them to be able to further their information about the product even when the sales representative has not yet had the opportunity to offer assistance.
By scanning the QR codes for these products, consumers will gain access to a 90 second video that provides further information about the items as well as an overall introduction to the German Maestro brand and the retailers with which it has partnered. Following the video, the smartphone user is redirected to a page that provides more detailed information about the product beside which the barcode was located.
Windsor expressed that the majority of the competition of German Maestro has competition that offers consumers a website that is geared directly toward making an online sale. However, he pointed out that his company's strategy is slightly different, as it attempts to send consumers to the brick and mortar locations, as they feel that the true value is received by the consumer when he or she is exposed to the product and brand in person.

Bunretsu Shugoshin: Twinkle Star (PC-98)
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings. |
The hero of the game, a high-school student named Touma, has a strange dream, in which he is a hero, a savior of the world in a parallel dimension. And now he is dying, having sacrificed his life for a beautiful woman whom he calls Ruby. Touma wakes up, unable to understand anything, and suddenly realizes it was not a dream... at least not entirely. A magical symbol is engraved on his forehead. Touma realizes that he will have to learn more about his heroic destiny. Meanwhile, a young, seductive English teacher arrives at his school...Twinkle Star can be considered a visual novel, most of the player's input being reduced to selection of dialogues, context-dependent actions, and hero's own thoughts. During sex scenes, however, the game switched to point-and-click interface with command icons.

Teraflex or pro com lift?
Lately I've been debating/researching the teraflex 3.5 inch lift with full flex arms or the Pro comp stage II 4 inch lift for my 2011 JKU. I'm putting 35 inch tires with 17 inch wheels. Now the thing is that I've never heard anything bad about either company but I have heard more good and more people using TF. Anyone have any input on the pro comp lift? So far my jeep is stock. I've done light off roading and this is my DD however I very much enjoy off roading and plan and getting moderatly serious into it. I just want to make sure I do it right the first time and move onto other mods.
Thanks all |
Go with the TF you will be a lot happier. :thumb: Much better quality.
Yeah that's what I always hear but then again I've heard a lot of the same about procomp.
Mr sig huh...I got a P226. Love that thing |
Teraflex all the way. Pro Comp is a bargain brand.
-Dan |
TeraFlex for the win hands down. We have seen a lot of guys with the cheaper brands have issues with the coils sagging over time. We never see that with the TF kits we sale. So do it once by doing it right the first time.
Let us know if you have any questions as well. We are here to help and could also save you some cash! Feel free to PM, email, or call at anytime! -Jason |

Not-So-Strange Bedfellows
George Weigel has a column today at National Review titled "The Catholic Betrayal of Religious Liberty." It begins as an indictment of Democratic Catholic officeholders Nancy Pelosi, Patty Murray, Rosa DeLauro and Kathleen Sebelius, women he describes as "Catholic Lite," and goes on to add Sr. Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Health Association, to the list.
But in an interesting twist, the column winds up as a long encomium to John Courtney Murray, the liberal Jesuit priest and political theorist whose accomplishment was to, in Weigel's words, "midwife a new Catholic understanding of the modern state and of the democratic project, which eventually reshaped the thinking and practices of the entire Church. " As Weigel notes, it is John Courtney Murray who is often credited with providing the intellectual inspiration for the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis Humanae).
What is strange is that John Courtney Murray is also credited as having provided the intellectual firepower for a far less well-known "council" known as the Hyannisport Conclave. In a January 2009 Wall Street Journal article (How Support For Abortion Became Kennedy Dogma), Weigel's National Review colleage, Anne Hendershott, sketched the origin and outcome of the Hyannisport Conclave:
At a meeting at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, Mass., on a hot summer day in 1964, the Kennedy family and its advisers and allies were coached by leading theologians and Catholic college professors on how to accept and promote abortion with a "clear conscience."
The former Jesuit priest Albert Jonsen, emeritus professor of ethics at the University of Washington, recalls the meeting in his book "The Birth of Bioethics" (Oxford, 2003). He writes about how he joined with the Rev. Joseph Fuchs, a Catholic moral theologian; the Rev. Robert Drinan, then dean of Boston College Law School; and three academic theologians, the Revs. Giles Milhaven, Richard McCormick and Charles Curran, to enable the Kennedy family to redefine support for abortion.
Mr. Jonsen writes that the Hyannisport colloquium was influenced by the position of another Jesuit, the Rev. John Courtney Murray, a position that "distinguished between the moral aspects of an issue and the feasibility of enacting legislation about that issue." It was the consensus at the Hyannisport conclave that Catholic politicians "might tolerate legislation that would permit abortion under certain circumstances if political efforts to repress this moral error led to greater perils to social peace and order.""
What we might call the "Murray Principle" was crystallized by Father John himself in a memo to Boston's Cardinal Spellman in 1965. Spellman had asked Murray for an opinion on the proposed decriminalization of contraception in Massachusetts. In his memo, Murray wrote, "It is not the function of civil law to prescribe everything that is morally right and to forbid everything that is morally wrong. By reason of its nature and purpose, as the instrument of order in society, the scope of law is limited to the maintenance and protection of public morality. Matters of private morality lie beyond the scope of law; they are left to the personal conscience."
As good modern liberals, Pelosi, Sibelius, and the others accept this principle on the pelvic issues. They may be "personally opposed" to abortion, but they also believe that in a religiously diverse polity like the United States, one in which there is widespread disagreement about these issues, it is best not to blur the line between the political/legislative and the moral/religious. George Weigel, who has written approvingly of John Courtney Murray's "American Proposition" for decades, also accepts the Murray principle. A classical liberal, he just reserves its application for issues related t0 economics, and like his brethren on the left even counsels ignoring papal teaching when it suits him.
A year ago, George Weigel published an article in First Things titled "The End of the Bernardin Era: The Rise, Dominance, and Decline of a Culturally Accommodating Catholicism." The irony of the title is that no one represents a culturally accommodating Catholicism more than George Weigel. His project has simply been to accommodate Catholicism to right-liberalism, including laissez-faire capitalism, Republican politics, and American empire. Perhaps someday, when Catholics in the United States have recovered from their infatuations with both strands of liberalism, someone will write an article titled "The End of the Weigel Era."

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you…. but aren't Pelosi, Sebelius, etc. doing the exact opposite of this? That's the whole point of Weigel's article — that modern liberals are not defending personal liberty and personal conscience, and that the "Murray Principle" you describe is being jettisoned with the HHS rule. With the HHS rule, matters of private morality no longer lie beyond the scope of law; they are NOT left to the personal conscience. With the HHS rule, you have the law forcing itself on a matter of private conscience.
February 20, 2012 5:19 pm
Some people have cited Murray in an attempt to defend legalized abortion. Since Murray died in 1967 he is of course unable to defend himself on the point, but nothing he said entails support for legal abortion nor did he ever suggest that this position would be a valid application of his thinking.
The HHS Contraception mandate certainly isn't consistent with his thinking on religious liberty issues.
Anne permalinkFebruary 23, 2012 2:51 am
<< Murray wrote, "It is not the function of civil law to prescribe everything that is morally right and to forbid everything that is morally wrong. By reason of its nature and purpose, as the instrument of order in society, the scope of law is limited to the maintenance and protection of public morality. Matters of private morality lie beyond the scope of law; they are left to the personal conscience."<<
<<Blackadder:"The HHS Contraception mandate certainly isn't consistent with his thinking on religious liberty issues."<<
How so? The HHS mandate does not require that anybody use contraception, only that contraceptive drugs and procedures — which can, of course, be used for preventing births but also for a number of other preventive health care purposes — be included among the category of medical services called "preventive" and covered by insurance without copays. That means no employer or employee has to pay for them; the cost is negotiated between insurance companies and providers. The mandate's as much about who doesn't pay as who has to pay. The President's accomodation even manages to separate out actual users from everybody else on plans owned by churches (and pararchurches) who object to contraception.
Murray might easily have devised a better, more perfect solution for the Church, given his special talents in this regard. But claiming the situation as it stands headlessly tramples religious liberty or makes employers material accomplices in evil bears about as much relationship to the thinking of John Courtney Murray as the Inquisition did to Vatican II.
Thales permalinkFebruary 23, 2012 9:39 am
That means no employer or employee has to pay for them; the cost is negotiated between insurance companies and providers.
That's the sticking point. Contraceptives aren't free — they cost money — and so the cost will come back to the employer.
Kurt permalinkFebruary 24, 2012 8:22 am
If that were an iron law of economics, can you explain why the Diocese of Madison (or anyone ever) found self-insurance to be prohibitively expensive?
Thales permalinkFebruary 24, 2012 10:19 am
I don't understand the point of your question. I'm not completely familiar with the facts of the Madison situation, but I presume that the diocese had 2, and only 2, options: participate in an insurance program with contraceptives; and self-insure. And the latter was prohibitively expensive, and so they had to go with the insurance program even if it covered contraceptives. -
Kurt permalinkFebruary 24, 2012 9:06 pm
My question is how can a self-insurance program be prohibitively expensive if one accepts as an non-debatable fact that an insurance company rigidly charges back to the policyholder the exact costs of the insurance (i.e., if the insurance company was required to pay for contraceptives, it is a non-debatable fact the expense is being charged back to the policy holder)?
It seems there are only two possibilities:
1) Morlino was either lying or his definition of prohibitively expensive meant a few extra nickels.
2) It is not a non-debateable fact that each expense incurred by an insurance company is precisely charged back to the policyholder.
Thales permalinkFebruary 26, 2012 1:14 pm
Sorry, but I'm honestly still lost by your point. I'm no expert in insurance, but isn't it possible that self-insurance without contraception (if permitted — remember, it's not under the HHS rule) might be more expensive than participating in a larger insurance program that happens to have contraception? -

but isn't it possible that self-insurance without contraception … might be more expensive than participating in a larger insurance program that happens to have contraception?
It is possible only if you first reject the assertion that under the revision of the HHS mandate, that it is an iron law that insurance companies will simply bill back the costs of contraceptives to the policyholder.
Thales permalinkFebruary 28, 2012 12:33 pm
Sorry, Kurt, I still don't understand.
1. First, remember, the revision of the HHS rule doesn't exist yet. All we have is the original rule, and we're waiting to see if/when a revision comes.
2. "an iron law that insurance companies will simply bill back the costs of contraceptives to the policyholder": isn't this just the very nature of insurance in the first place? That insurance, by its very nature, is where policyholders pay funds to a company, which is pooled and is paid out by the company back to the policyholders for whatever item or service is covered by the plan?

Thales: "Contraceptives aren't free — they cost money — and so the cost will come back to the employer."
You'd think people arguing against the mandate (and compromise) were looking at some hard-and-fast rule on this. But there isn't one. The President, of course, said there'd be no cost passed on to either employee or employer under the exemptions. But even among employers without exemptions, there's no direct cost ratio to pass on for contraceptives specifically among all the other preventive care measures that under the mandate have to be covered with no cost-sharing for the insured. There are a slew of them. Directly passing on costs to the employer would not be good politics for anybody involved.
There are also equal protection laws to consider even if this HHS mandate weren't in the mix. In December 2000, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said an employer's failure to provide coverage of contraception, if it covers other prescription drugs and preventive care, is a violation of protections against sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; those protections for employees' benefits include no exemption for religious employers.
We could really use the appearance of a modern-day John Courtney Murray, or Solomon, about now.
Thales permalinkFebruary 24, 2012 10:11 am
I can't tell whether you're disagreeing with my point or not. You say The President, of course, said there'd be no cost passed on to either employee or employer under the exemptions.Well, frankly, the President is lying. He said that because of the claim that adding contraception is "cost neutral since it saves money" (I'm quoting from the White House fact sheet.) Some people dispute that's it's cost neutral. But let's assume that it is cost neutral. The argument is a complete red herring. Think about it: Contraception services are added (which cost money), but since the demand for other services goes down (because of the addition of contraception), the cost for the other services should go down, which means that the insurance company's total cost remains the same, and so the employer premiums should remain the same. But even if the employer premiums are the same before and after the change, after the change, some small amount of the employer's premium still pays for contraception services because contraceptive services cost money. The employer is paying the same amount that he did before, but that's only because he's paying a slightly smaller amount for the same set of non-contraceptive services, and he's paying a small amount for the contraceptive services. The conscience objection still remains: the employer is providing and paying for contraception.
Anne permalinkFebruary 23, 2012 11:01 pm
Data on costs ("the sticking point"?) of HHS mandate.
Again, government spokesmen say exempted employers will not pay for contraceptive coverage, period. (They also promise the question of what happens to the one potential exception to the exemptions — self-insured religious employers– will be resolved before the mandate goes into effect in 2013.) Predictions and precedents:The National Business Group on Health predicts any short-term costs will be modest and offset rapidly by long-term savings in costs associated with pregnancy and complications.
An HHS brief on cost implications of prior expansions of contraceptive coverage concluded the cost to issuers was "zero."
When coverage of contraceptives was added to FEHBP (federal employees) in 1999, it did not increase premium costs.
Thales permalinkFebruary 24, 2012 10:12 am
Anne, in my comment above, I explain why the "cost neutral" argument is a red herring.

Murray was wrong. The Church silenced him, and his heretical interpretation of Dignitatis Humanae did not make it into the document. Murrayanism can't defeat the therapeutic/Lockean state:

This Brother All-in-One is more all-in-one than most. Although it has a footprint not much bigger than an A3 sheet of paper, it can print, scan, copy, fax, download your digital photos, answer the phone and make you a nice cup of camomile tea. OK, the tea's just on our wish list, but all the other tasks are within the compass of the MFC-620CN.
The low-profile, grey and silver case starts with a flatbed scanner, with a similarly low-profile automatic document feeder (ADF) built into its lid. In front of this is a comprehensive control panel, including a number pad for fax dialling and a 16-character, two-line, backlit LCD display with a four-way touch disc to control menu options.
Directly in front of the LCD display are four buttons for the main functions of photo capture, copy, fax and scan and in addition, down the right-hand side are single function buttons for colour and mono copies and job cancel.
Paper feeds from a removable cartridge that slides in from the front of the device – this is different from earlier Brother multifunction machines which fed paper from a vertical tray at the rear. The paper makes a 180 degree turn to eject directly on top of the cartridge at the front, using a pull-out paper support to hold printed pages.
There's a 5-in-1 memory card reader fitted under the front lip of the control panel, which can be used for uploading images to your PC, or for printing them out directly.
At the rear of the left-hand side panel is a mains socket and separate connections for the phone line cable and a handset – not supplied. USB 2.0 and 10/100 Ethernet connections are also available but, unusually, they're inside the machine. You have to hinge the scanner unit up to the left to reveal them and feed the cables round from the rear of the device.
You need to lift the scanner unit up to access the ink cartridges, too. The Brother machine uses permanent print heads and the easy-to-fit cartridges supply only ink. This does mean a good few cleaning cycles, particularly if you use the MFC-620CN irregularly.
A software suite is supplied on CD and includes an OCR utility, full fax support and a network administration utility. There's also a copy of Paperport 9SE.
Text print quality on plain paper is fair, though there's some ink spread into the paper nap and curves and diagonal edges are not that smooth. Graphic colours are bright and well saturated, though there was some speckle in areas of solid colour.

- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- Active Time
- 45 minutes
- Total Time
- 2 1/2 hours
- For custards
- 2 1/2 oz Parmigiano-Reggiano, coarsely grated (1 1/4 cups)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 whole large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of white pepper
- For soup
- 1 large leek (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped (1 1/4 cups)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Garnish: Parmigiano-Reggiano curls, shaved from a wedge with a vegetable peeler
- Special equipment: 6 (2-oz) ramekins
- Make custards:
- Bring cheese, cream, and milk just to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and steep, covered, 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Pour steeped cream through a very fine sieve into a bowl, pressing lightly on cheese solids and discarding them. Whisk together whole egg, yolks, salt, and white pepper in another bowl, then add steeped cream in a stream, whisking until smooth. Divide among well-buttered ramekins.
- Set ramekins in a baking pan and bake in a hot water bath in middle of oven until centers of custards are completely set, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer ramekins to a rack and cool 5 minutes (do not allow to cool longer, or custards will stick to ramekins).
- Make soup while cream steeps and custards bake:
- Wash chopped leek in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well. Cook leek, shallot, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in butter in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until leek is softened, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus, broth, and water and simmer, covered, until asparagus is just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. After 2 to 4 minutes, remove 6 asparagus tips, halve lengthwise and reserve for garnish.
- Purée soup in batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer to a large bowl, then pour through a sieve into cleaned pot. Stir in cream, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and heat over moderately low heat until hot.
- Serve soup with custards:
- Working with 1 custard at a time, run a thin knife around edge of each to loosen it, then invert a soup bowl over ramekin and invert custard into bowl. Repeat with remaining custards. Ladle soup around custards and garnish with reserved asparagus tips and parmesan curls.
Cooks' note:
Soup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered.

Trisha's Concern Over Stray Dogs
Southern actress Trisha Krishnan, a long-time People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India supporter, has written to Chennai Mayor Saidai Duraisamy asking him to scrap plans to roundup 30,000 dogs and confine them to pounds.
"I respectfully urge you to scrap the plan to round up as many as 30,000 dogs from the streets and imprison them in 15 new pounds in Chennai. Warehousing dogs, even if they are sick or old, for the rest of their lives is extremely cruel," said Trisha in her letter to the mayor.
"Chennai has used dog pounds in the past, and this approach failed to control either the dog population or rabies. Removing dogs from the streets leaves their territories vacant, which results in an influx of other dogs from neighbouring areas," she added.
Trisha also requested for a humanitarian way of handling this issue.
"Locking up dogs like prisoners will never end Chennai's animal overpopulation problem. I respectfully urge you to solve the problem the smart and humane way by stopping it at its source. Please focus Chennai's efforts on an aggressive animal birth control and anti-rabies programme," wrote Trisha.
Known for southern films such as Ghilli, Krishna and Samar, Trisha is currently busy shooting for Tamil action-drama Boologam and Telugu comedy RUM.

The Tale Of Gideon Strange
By Bastion 4
There appears to be an uncanny tendency for singles that are described on their press blurbs as "infectiously summer-sounding" to make their way into my possession when the weather is generously providing me with the chance to experience first-hand what it might be like to be drowned in a tidal-wave of piss whilst making my way through a Norwegian tundra. Bastion 4's new release is no exception to the rule, but the songs on display here possess more than enough imagination and pizazz to propel them from the status of being merely "summery-sounding" into the realm of "actually quite catchy".
As far as appropriately named song titles go, "The tale of Gideon Strange" does mange to do itself considerable justice. Opening with a Britpop-esque guitar line, any initial thoughts that we are in Cast or Shed Seven territory are quickly banished by the introduction of the first verse which is sung in the style of a "Liam Gallagher meeting Captain Bluebeard" sea shanty. Very strange indeed. The rest of the song manages to follow this quirky momentum whilst retaining the listener's attention span - not a talent every band of this ilk is capable of.
Elsewhere, "Escape the Rot" and "Legendary Divorce", although not bestowed with the same instant hummableness as the title track do showcase some very good off-kilter coral-style indie-pop workouts. Well worth checking out if you are a fan of the aforementioned Scousers, or indeed good catchy guitar-based music.

Fed up with game delays? Remakes replacing new games? An overall lack of content? Too bad. You'd better get used to it.
As "next-gen" game consoles settle in to their lifecycles and become the "current-gen" consoles, an interesting dichotomy is emerging. On the one hand, consoles are selling faster than ever; Microsoft and Sony constantly tout the fact Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are outpacing sales of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at this point in their respective histories.
On the other hand, even though the user base of these consoles is expanding rapidly, the number of new games you can play on them is rather lacking when compared to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at this point in their lifecycles. 2007 was the second full year of the Xbox 360's lifecycle, analogous to 2015 in the life of Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Here's what 2007 looked like on Xbox 360: BioShock, Portal, Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, Crackdown, Lost Planet, Modern Warfare, Mass Effect, and I'm going to stop there arbitrarily.
In other words, a constant assault of new franchises, most of exceptional quality, quite a few of them brilliantly innovative—remember that even Modern Warfare, at that point, was the risk-taking game that changed Call of Duty from historical World War II period piece to the near-future shooter that defines the genre today.
We're still a couple months from the game industry's E3 trade show, at which publishers and console makers will mostly finish making their game announcements for 2015. But even after E3, it's highly unlikely, borderline impossible, that this second year of the new consoles will even come close to what we saw in 2007.
Scroll through Wikipedia's list of released and upcoming 2015 games, and you'll notice a few things: Few of them are coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and the ones that are mostly fall into categories that are not "big new triple-A game franchise."
"Remasters" of old content. 2015 is littered with these. Dark Souls II, Borderlands, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and again I'm going to arbitrarily stop there because you get the point. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One aren't backward compatible with the previous generation's games, giving publishers an opportunity to port said games to the new platform and sell them again with a few upgrades. This isn't bad if you're a fan of the games (or missed them first time around), but it's no substitute for new games.
New entries in proven, established franchises. Yes, I'm going to play Batman: Arkham Knight when it's released in June (delayed from October, 2014), but I don't think it will feel nearly as new and fresh as playing Arkham Asylum on Xbox 360. You know what you're in for with Halo 5. And Sony has Uncharted 4 … whoops, that's been delayed until 2016.
Indie games. I love indie games! But "lots of small games by scrappy independent creators" is not why one buys a pair of $400 state-of-the-art consoles.
Licensed games. Having exhausted all other options, they're actually making a game based on Mad Max.
There's one constant among all of these categories, and that is "risk mitigation." All of the problems we saw with game consoles a few years ago when we said the game console was dead have metastasized, and we're seeing the results: First, the B-tier games died, then the A-tier, and now the triple-A tier is being winnowed as publishers make bigger and bigger bets on a smaller and smaller slate of games.
And if said game isn't somehow tied to a previously existing, provably bankable intellectual property, it's lucky to even get off the drawing board. Sony released a new IP this year, The Order: 1886, and it got crappy reviews. Not good for the next time somebody pitches a totally new idea.
Even Nintendo's games have homogenized significantly this generation, as single-player games give way to couch multiplayer games, and smaller franchises go forgotten (Are you okay, Metroid? Reply if you are okay.) while more reliably bankable series already had had multiple entries. Third party publishers have narrowed their Wii U slates to a tiny handful of games, or nothing.
Except indie games, I mean. And let me repeat myself, lest I be misunderstood: I love indie games! And the fact Sony and Microsoft don't have huge new AAA releases to crow about has been fantastic for indies in two ways: One, both console makers have been strongly incentivized to refine and streamline their submissions policies so as to ensure an uninterrupted flow of new indie games, and two, they're putting their huge marketing machines to work hyping them.
All of Xbox was chattering about #IDARB for the last few months, and now Sony's pushing Axiom Verge as the new hotness for PlayStation 4. Both are small-scale, pixel-graphics, retro throwback games made by tiny teams. This is the first time since the actual Super Nintendo that games like this have gotten so much heat.
But do you need a whole $400 game console and a $50 per year subscription to an online gaming service for that sort of experience? No. Consoles are slowly finding their entire raison d'être not eliminated, but being squished down through a funnel.
What's going to happen to consoles? It's hard to say. Microconsoles like Amazon Fire TV haven't exactly taken off. Maybe that changes if and when Apple finally offers an Apple TV that plays games. Maybe not. Maybe the kids raised on Minecraft and free-to-play phone games won't pick up consoles when they go to college. Maybe Sony and Microsoft follow them to wherever they go.
No matter what happens in the future: Welcome to triple-A videogames in 2015. You demand to be wowed by ever-increasing graphics fidelity; publishers need more ironclad guarantees that those investments are going to pay off. This means fewer games, more licenses, and more remakes. This is not a problem that Sony and Microsoft are on the verge of solving. This is the new normal.

Buying a home or investment property will probably be the most expensive thing you ever do, so it's important to understand what is involved in the process. The following should be considered before you commit to buy.
Consider engaging a solicitor or conveyancer - doing your own conveyancing is risky, because you can't get the same insurance available to a licensed conveyancer or solicitor. That means if you make a mistake, and suffer loss as a result, you will be unable to get financial compensation. If you use a solicitor or conveyancer and suffer loss as a result of their negligence, you may be able to taken action against them.
Get your own independent financial advice about insurance, getting a mortgage and the fees you are likely to have to pay. It is illegal for real estate agents to give financial advice.
Use the tools and information available to help you, eg MoneySmart which has mortgage and other calculators.
Be sure the property you are buying is what you want. 'Cooling off' periods do not apply to the sale of property in Tasmania.
Have a qualified building inspector, surveyor or architect inspect the property to determine whether there are any faults with the property, or any unsafe/unauthorised renovations or extensions.
Make sure you read and understand all the terms, conditions and 'fine print' before you sign a contract. Keep a copy of all documents you sign.
If the property is being offered for sale by auction, you should be aware that there are strict rules about how an auction must be conducted and those rules and an Auction Information Statement (which sets out the law in relation to auctions in Tasmania) must be on display prior to and during an auction. If you buy a property at auction, you cannot make the contract subject to any conditions, such as getting finance, and there is no cooling off period.
More information about buying and selling property is available from the Real Estate Institute of Tasmania.

NEW YORK – USA – David Bowie has announced a tour of Scotland in August this summer his management company has revealed.
The tour will be called Scotch Oddity and the legendary artist will complete the tour only wearing tartan and a kilt.
"It's something he's always wanted to do. The band's line up will include Angus Bawbag, on bagpipes, Sean Bonnet on alto bagpipes, and Jasper Fud on bass bagpipes. There might even be some caber tossing into the audience but he is getting on a bit so he might need some help with that one," Bowie's manager Niles Malchard, said from the band's New York record label office.
Ziggy did have red hair in the seventies so the tour of Scotland should go down well with the locals, just as long as they're not sober and do not realise they're watching David Bowie.
Tour dates and venues will be announced closer to the time, in some cases a few minutes before the concerts.

In Austin, Texas, 15 people influence what is taught to the next generation of American children. Once every decade, the highly politicized Texas State Board of Education rewrites the teaching and textbook standards for its nearly 5 million schoolchildren. And when it comes to textbooks, what happens in Texas affects the nation as a whole.That's what makes this film so compelling...an elected board of education influencing the very basis of learning through their ideas and ideology - not scientific fact. Watch tonight and tell us what you think.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Plato' tag.
[…] it is not only the world's fastest growing medium, but also the fastest growing area of global expertise in how to entertain, retain and connect twenty-first-century consumers. If the future is looking more and more like a game, it's partly because the science of satisfaction has never before been so precise, so powerful, or so profitable. Where play goes, the world will follow.
As you perhaps may have gathered, I spent most of my childhood reading books. This was not due to choice on my part. I have never owned a gaming console. In fact I did not even really start to experiment with computer games until Massively Multiplayer Online titles really began to take off.
Of course I quickly learned what other MMO players know quite well – you go online to fight goblins and monsters you can kiss your social life goodbye. What is interesting is to observe just how mainstream this behaviour actually is. As today's author Tom Chatfield points out in Fun Inc. there is not a world of difference between online gaming and social network sites such as Facebook. In fact, users of Mark Zuckerberg's private nation spend an awful lot of time – notably during work hours – playing game applications on the site. Yet these people are not regarded with the same measure of contempt as the proverbial gamer 'man-child' is.
Chatfield's account gives a history of computer gaming, from its early development in 1962 as an experimental programming model in M.I.T. through to the evolution of the text-based games that led to genre defining titles such as Ultima and then onward through the console wars between Nintendo and Sega, which made clear just how much money could be earned from this evolving entertainment medium. Which was advanced to even more dizzying heights by the entry of Sony Entertainment, with their own console the PlayStation. Gaming is now a billion dollar industry, even threatening the box office clout of big budget Hollywood movies, with the console now poised to become the central entertainment hub of the family home.
Three heavily critical quotes of three very different mediums are presented to the reader at the beginning of Fun Inc.'s fifth chapter. The first is taken from Plato's Phaedrus and describes Socrates' disapproval of the written word. The second is taken from Georges Duhamel's book Scenes from the Life of the Future, insisting on the corruptive influence of film. Finally we come to a lambasting of gaming as an activity in itself, with London's Mayor Boris Johnson stepping up to the plate, denouncing gamers as follows:
They become like blinking lizards, motionless, absorbed, only the twitching of their hands showing they are still conscious. [It] teaches them nothing. It stimulates no ratiocination, discovery or feat of memory.
Of course the fear of the new is nothing, um, new. What Chatfield is describing here is a fatal inability to recognize the pervasiveness of gaming. The teenage boy is the typical symbolic game player and yet many professionals, male and female, indulge in virtual worlds after work. One fascinating anecdote has a corporate position interviewee be scolded by a executive for not mentioning on his C.V. that he ran a guild in World of Warcraft. It showed team-building skills and managerial potential. However, there remain scare stories of gaming inspiring acts of real world violence. Chatfield treats of the media furore, as well as the many psychological studies of the effect of games.
There is even an unfortunate quote from Roger Scruton, taken from a 2008 article for The Times "Can Virtual Life Take Over From Real Life?", where he rails against the ephemeral nature of virtual relationships, be they online communication or in-game narratives. I wonder has he since played Dragon Age?
In the second half of this book, Chatfield's analysis really takes off. There are some very revealing discussions of online gaming profits, gold farming, Europe's Pirate Party, as well as spotlighting the work of literate game writers/creators such as Rhianna Pratchett and Jason Rohrer – his game Passage sounds like a genuinely affecting, as well as intentionally morbid, game.
Unfortunately having read Greg Lastowka's Virtual Justice recently, much of the material here was already familiar to me. In fact the early chapters resembled a superficial a potted history of the game industry. Once again there is discussion of Qui Chengwei, as well as the World of Warcraft 'blood plague'.
Then again I read PC PowerPlay a very stimulating games magazine. So hit and miss fare overall.
In fact, there are many uses of the innumberable opportunities a modern life supplies for regarding – at a distance, through the medium of photography – other people's pain. Photographs of an atrocity may give rise to opposing responses. A call for peace. A call for revenge. Or simply the bemused awareness, continually restocked by photographic information, that terrible things happen.
Folks I am beat. Today has been a long day. I volunteer with an organisation based in Sydney known as the Centre for Volunteering. Today the third annual New South Wales Volunteer of the Year Award was held at Parliament House, to celebrate and acknowledge the good works of people within the state who give of their time to help others, often with little recognition.
It was a wonderful morning. Standing in a packed out theatre of volunteers, all of whom evidencing incredible reserves of goodwill and determination, I really felt as if I was fortunate to have played some small part in helping the event go off without a hitch.
So I am quite tired at the moment and am about to prepare dinner for my lovely wife, so this is going to be a short and sweet review. Nevertheless, I mention the above for a reason, which is that oftentimes watching the news, reading the papers (or browsing my personal source of Orwellian 'Two Minute Hate', http://www.bocktherobber.com), I can't help but feel we have become sunk in a mire of corruption, misery, greed and, quite frankly, evil. Is this the result of civilization, a growing sense of impotence at the suffering of others in the world? Or worse again, a voyeuristic impulse to observe and not interfere with the tragic events unfolding on our television screens?
In this discursive examination of the role played by photography in our awareness of atrocities both home and abroad, relating to war and/or violence, Susan Sontag questions to what degree our appreciation of these images is founded on an abiding voyeurism. At one point she quotes from Plato's Republic, where Leontius, son of Aglaion, is reported to have approached the bodies of just executed criminals, despite his strong feelings of disgust. He runs up to the corpses and cries "There you are, curse you, feast yourselves on that lovely sight".
How does that anecdote, apart from its classical origins, distinguish itself from a contemporary teenager browsing 'SomethingAwfulDotCom' (I'm not going to link to that site here)?
Sontag's breadth of reference in this book is incredible. She concentrates for the most part on war photography and its origins, covering the period from the Crimean War up to Franco's atrocities in the Spanish Civil War; from Vietnam to the Serb-Croat war in Bosnia.
She investigates the history of staged war photographs, such as the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima. Contrasting with such images of soldiers in war, meant to inspire hope for success in the conflict, or an image snatched from a moment of pure horror that is seared on to the mind of anyone who has seen it – Huynh Cong Ut's photograph of Vietnamese children running from an American napalm attack, with their skin on fire – we have a delightful description of a photograph taken in London during the Blitz of three men inspecting a wall of books that has survived the bombing. I was inspired to track this image down, as for me it carries great metaphorical weight relating to the value of literature and present it to you below.
Sontag questions the argument that war photography has innured in us a sense of banality in response to images of death, by revealing that as far back as 1800 (!) similar concerns were being raised about news reporting. This was before photographs came on to the scene. It is as if exposure to the awareness of the evil that men do is thought of as being threatening to the moral character of the viewer. Hence the level of censorship in current war reporting and the phenomenon of 'embedded journalists'.
There may be a visceral response on the part of the viewer to an image that would be considered horrific, but in no way does that justify the blanket censorship of such imagery. It is only through confronting these images that we can defeat that much maligned apathy towards the suffering of others.
Incisive, wide-ranging and brilliant in its argumentation. Fantastic book.

This gets annoying, but a Defaults-Write points to a Terminal command that changes this behavior.AdvertisementAs best as I can tell, the default behavior with this is to open up whatever save panel you used the last time you saved, but it's not particularly consistent in my experience. If you want to just make sure you always get the expanded save panel, enter these two commands into Terminal:defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode -bool truedefaults write NSGlobalDomain NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode2 -bool trueThat should set the expanded save panel as the default, though some third party apps don't seem to honor this preference and just use whatever the last used view was.

Hi holli,
Does your larger application hammer on the system much via overwhelming db locking (table? row?), IO, threading, forking, etc? Just curious, as these things, if they are an issue, might not show up in the profiling.

00z Models pointing to a potential quick hitting snowstorm between 06z Saturday morning and 18z Saturday afternoon. Models are still different in the track of the surface reflection as an intense vorticity maximum moves through the base of the 500mb long wave trough that moves through in the progressive zonal flow across the northern US. Models differ on the track of this vorticity maximum and surface reflection as well as potential convective nature of the system...

A frontal wave and then afterwards a clipper system both move more then 150 miles to the southeast of the region missing most of the region with precip. Its just the way the pattern has been and just the way this winter has been as well. It will be funny to see the clipper's surface low move more then 150 miles west after the first two systems miss the region. Anyways another mild day followed by cooler night in New England. Have a great Sunday.

I've been waiting for the models to agree and it looks like they finally have with the low moving harmlessly out to sea for the Northeastern US. WV imagery and radar points to a classic possibility that the storm ends up moving closer to the NErn US before heading out to sea, but too much dry air and confluence over the region suggests this system never had a chance to move up the coastline. This winter is just not rightfully setup to produce any big storms. Hurr...

00z GFS says monster nor'easter, rest of the guidance is in flux and the GFS ensemble members all have different ideas, but most are coming into agreement on a dynamic storm developing. Regardless of the location of the storm, there is one thing that seems likely, this will be a longer duration storm for someone then this pattern is used to producing. One thing is almost a certain is that a potent 500mb trough will develop a low and capture the surface low, questi...

Subject | Re: what's the difference between ivysettings and ivyconf |
Date | Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:07:18 GMT |
Thanks, Jim. I think I may not make my question very clear. Give two examples here: Number one extracted from book <<Ant in action>> <ivyconf> <property name="ibiblio-maven2-root" value="http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/" override="false"/> <property name="maven2.pattern" value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision]" /> <property name="maven2.pattern.ext" value="${maven2.pattern}.[ext]" /> <include url="${ivy.default.conf.dir}/ivyconf-local.xml"/> <conf defaultResolver="default"/> <resolvers> <filesystem name="team" ivys="true" artifacts="true" m2compatible="true" > <artifact pattern= "${ivy.conf.dir}/repository/${maven2.pattern.ext}"/> <ivy pattern= "${ivy.conf.dir}/repository/${maven2.pattern}.xml"/> </filesystem> <ibiblio name="maven2" root="${ibiblio-maven2-root}" pattern="${maven2.pattern.ext}" m2compatible="true" /> <chain name="default" dual="true"> <resolver ref="local"/> <resolver ref="team"/> <resolver ref="maven2"/> </chain> </resolvers> </ivyconf> Number two from example of Ivy <ivysettings> <settings defaultResolver="chain-example"/> <resolvers> <chain name="chain-example"> <filesystem name="libraries"> <artifact pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/repository/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" /> </filesystem> <ibiblio name="ibiblio" m2compatible="true" /> </chain> </resolvers> </ivysettings> Both examples define a chain and I would like to say both can work properly. So what's the difference. Thanks. Jim/Jim Huang Jim White <email@example.com> 06/12/2008 11:46 AM Please respond to email@example.com To firstname.lastname@example.com cc Subject Re: what's the difference between ivysettings and ivyconf Others can no doubt explain this better, but I'll make a stab. An Ivy Settings file defines such things as repository and module name resolution schemes and is used by the Ivy Configure Ant task. http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/configuration.html http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/use/configure.html An Ivy Configuration is a name (actually a kind of pattern) for choosing a particular set of depedencies (like "compile", "test", "default"). http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/use/configure.html It is very unfortunate though that the Ivy Settings file is principal parameter for the ivy:configure task, which no doubt makes this more prone to confusion than desireable. Also the Ivy Settings file format is described by a page with "configuration" in the URL, which goes along with the idea that it used by the Configure task but not the configure attribute of the Resolve task. Whereas an Ivy Configuration in an Ivy File is described here: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/ivyfile/configurations.html So the configure attribute of the Ivy Resolve Ant task is actually talking about a "configuration" in the Ivy File sense, not Ivy Configure Ant task sense. http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/use/resolve.html Jim firstname.lastname@example.com wrote: > Hi , > > I'm new user of IVY. > I'm quite confused by ivysettings and ivyconf . > Both are very similar and I don't really understand why IVY need both. > Does anyone can explain the difference? > > Thanks in advance. > > > > Jim/Jim Huang > | |

More About MIZ_SNOOPY
Recipes I've Shared:
I was VERY skeptical when I first tried this, but it has become one of my favorite low-carb breakfasts!
Great alternative to the usual lettuce based salad. My brother-in-law just got back from Greece where this dish was inspired.
I invented this tonight on a whim and HAD to share the recipe!!
I created this today with ingredients I had in the kitchen leftover from other stuff.
One of my famous "throw together" pasta dishes...invented tonight with stuff I had lying around the house!
My version of shrimp scampi - all ingredients approximated (I just pour and sprinkle until it smells right.)
I invented this while waiting at a sub shop for my husband's steak and cheese when I REALLY wanted a Gyro.....figured I could make a healthier version.
Looking for a way to incorporate more veggies into your day? Well, here you go!
I love pumpkin EVERYTHING and I grabbed this recipe from a Prevention insert.
Finally made this today and was not impressed. Needs more ice and soy milk, less pumpkin and spice.
Another find in a Prevention insert with my own twist. I love edamame and I hope this turns out good.

Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask Clinton College a question
I would give Clinton College a 5/10. The five is because the faculty there really want to see you succeed and are helpful, but there is only so much they can do with the accreditation. The academic rigor is very low also and won't really prepare you for a four year university.
