Brief Synopsis
Seven American gunmen hire themselves out to protect a Mexican village from bandits.
When ruthless bandit leader Calvera and his forty men raid the Mexican village of Ixcatlan for food and goods, the villagers, used to Calvera's harvest-time plundering, keep quiet with the exception of one outraged farmer, whom Calvera summarily shoots. After the banditos leave, the villagers, barely able to survive on what remains but unable to fight the banditos, seek the advice of the old man, a village elder, who tells them to buys guns at the border and learn how to use them. When the three-man delegation from Ixcatlan led by Hilario arrives at a border town to buy guns, they are awed by gunslingers Chris and Vin, who offer to drive a carriage carrying the body of an Indian through town when the funeral director refuses to transport it for fear of the bigoted citizens' reprisals. After witnessing Chris and Vin easily outdraw the angered townsmen as they make their way to the graveyard, the delegation asks Chris to buy guns for them, explaining that the Mexican rurales cannot guard the village from Calvera's repeated plundering. Chris instead offers to round up a team of gunmen, even though the villagers can only afford to pay $20 pay for six weeks' work. As word spreads, young, impetuous Chico, inspired by Vin and Chris's triumphant carriage ride, asks for the job, but is humiliated when he fails Chris's test to determine if Chico is a quick draw. Soon after, jovial gold hunter Harry Luck, assuming that there must be some hidden treasure which the other gunslingers will split, joins the team, as well as Vin and the brawny war veteran O'Reilly. The next day, Chris watches as expert knife-thrower and gunslinger Britt easily wins a draw with a deadly knife throw and considers him for the team. At a bar that night, an enraged Chico holds Chris at gunpoint and orders him to draw, but Chris quietly refuses the challenge until the boy collapses from drunkenness. Soon after Britt joins the group, the well-dressed but destitute Lee offers his services in attempt to regain his nerve, which he has lost while on the run from his enemies. Days later, as the delegation, joined by the six gunslingers, rides toward Ixcatlan, they notice Chico following and Chris, softened by the young man's resolve, finally motions for him to join them. When they are greeted with silence as they enter the village, Chris accepts the villagers' fearful reluctance, but Chico angrily rages at them for their cowardice. The next day, the seven attend a town celebration and notice that all the village women are missing. Soon after, Chris learns that three of Calvera's men are nearby and sends Britt and Lee to bring the men back alive. However, Chico ruins the plan by shooting one of the banditos, forcing Britt to kill the second and third men, who were fast escaping on horseback. When an amazed Chico compliments him on his long-distance shot, an irritated Britt tells him that it was "the worst. I was aiming for the horse." Later at the village, Chris observes that Calvera probably sent the men ahead to scout for the coming raid and reassures the villagers that they will have time to train before Calvera's men arrive in force. Over several days, the seven use the dead men's weapons to coach the farmers in how to shoot. One afternoon, Chico catches the strident young Petra, who is spying on him as he tests his bullfighting skills against a tame farm animal, and learns that the villagers have hidden their women for fear of the gunslingers raping them. After warning the village men that the women have more to fear from Calvera than from the gunslingers, Chris orders Chico to bring the women back. That night Petra and others petulantly serve the men food, but when the seven learn the village is starving on a few meager beans, they give their servings away. The next day, after the boys on guard signal that the enemy is approaching, Chris, Britt and Vin stand in the middle of town to meet Calvera, who does not flinch at finding gunslingers there. Instead, he offers to share the village spoils with the seven in exchange for standing down, but when Chris orders him to "ride on," a gunfight erupts. Unprepared for the onslaught, Calvera and his men try to escape but are trapped by newly built nets and rock walls erected by the villagers, thus enabling the villagers and gunslingers to pick off many of the banditos. That night, as the mild-mannered Sotero and other villagers toast the seven on their success, shots interrupt the jubilant occasion, forcing Chris to send O'Reilly, Vin and Sotero to track the sharpshooters. While searching for the men, Sotero tells Vin that he is committed to protecting his family, and Vin openly envies Sotero's bond with his family, which neither he nor the other six have. Meanwhile, disobeying her father's orders against talking to the gunslingers, a love-struck Petra begs Chico to be careful. Later that night, Chico, wanting to prove himself to the others, touts the gunslinger lifestyle as the stuff of legends. While Chris reminds them, as hired gunmen, they are beholden to no one, Vin laments that he has no family and Lee adds that they have no enemies, because they are dead. When Lee awakens screaming from a nightmare about his enemies, two villagers reassure him that "only the dead are without fear." Meanwhile, three young boys adopt the Mexican-Irish O'Reilly, promising that they will avenge his death and put flowers on his grave if he should die in battle. Harry is convinced that the villagers must be hiding ancient treasure, which is rumored to be buried in the nearby mountains. Believing that this is the real reason for Calvera's return, Harry tries to entreat the village men into gambling. Meanwhile, Chico, hiding his face under a sombrero, infiltrates the Calvera camp and surprises the six when he reports back that Calvera will attack soon because his men are starving. The villagers fight among themselves about whether to surrender to save their families, while Chris argues with his men about their chance of success. Later, Chico boasts to Petra about his new life as a roving gunslinger, but his resolve quickly weakens as she kisses him. That evening, after Chris and his men find the Calvera camp empty when they attempt to steal their horses, the seven return to the village and are immediately surrounded by Calvera's men, who have been tipped off by the cowardly Sotero. Although he could easily kill them, Calvera decides to spare their lives to avoid alerting the United States police to his operation. After publicly ordering them to leave their guns, Calvera quietly offers to return the weapons once the seven are out of town and asks why they became involved with the villagers, unable to believe the gunslingers would have any motivation other than money. As he lays down his gun, Vin cryptically explains with a joke: When someone asked a man why he threw himself into a prickly pear cactus, the man simply replied that it "seemed to be a good idea at the time." Before the seven leave, O'Reilly explains to his boys that they should respect their fathers, who are brave to carry the burden of family responsibility, something O'Reilly has never had the courage to do. That night, after the seven are escorted out of town and given their guns, Chico explodes in anger about the villagers' betrayal, but Chris reminds him that his hatred stems from being the son of just such a Mexican villager. The next day, after Harry, tired of fighting without the hope of riches, leaves the group, the remaining six ride into town and begin a shootout with the banditos. Wounded, Vin drags himself into a store, while Harry, having changed his mind, rides into town and is shot. Following Vin, Chris drags Harry into the store, where he soothes the dying man with a story of imaginary riches. Meanwhile, Lee finally draws and shoots four of Calvera's men, but is then killed. Spurred by the seven's sacrifice, the villagers, including the women, come out of hiding and beat Calvera's men with every chair and stick available. Meanwhile, Chris wounds Calvera, who, with his dying breath, continues to express his disbelief that the seven had any reason to return. After Britt takes out four banditos with perfectly aimed shots, he dies from a wound sustained in the battle. O'Reilly's boys find their hero, who begs them to emulate their fathers, then dies from a wound suffered before their young eyes. By the end of the battle, the remaining banditos are finally driven from town, but the old man sagely announces to those remaining of the seven, Chris, Vin and Chico, that only the farmers have won. As they ride out of town, the astute Chris turns to Chico, tells him "adios" and watches as Chico returns to Petra, for whom he lays down his holster. As they pause to look back on the village, Chris tells Vin that the old man was right, only the farmers have won, not the gunslingers, who will always lose.

Every year at the major company event there are employee motivation games to play. Most of us dislike these games because the major of them seem silly and pointless. Why waste our time with this is what employees usually complain about.
However, help is on the way. Out of all the employee motivation games played this one looks the favorite. Try a company scavenger hunt. The nice thing about this game is it does not have to be done during a major company event, although right before before inventory for smaller companies seems to be a good time. This will work for all companies. Large and small alike. You just need to have a set of company information for the employees to find out.
The reason the scavenger hunt is my favorite of all employee motivation games is that it is easy to set up and easy to play. It is also relatively fun. First, get a list of company information that you want the employees to find out. It can be date of incorporation, date the first product was sold / manufactured, who was the founder, what is the best selling product, and the list goes on. Once you have a set of information you divide the employees into teams. You can set departments against each other or you can have other ways of making teams. Set a time frame, especially if some of the items are hard to find or locate. Have everyone meet back at the designated time and declare the winner or winners. Be sure to have a prize for the winning team or teams.
This is a great game because it is different from the usual employee motivation games. The game is actually educational in nature. Instead of wasting time with seemingly pointless tasks, it actually teaches the employees about the company they work for. The more knowledge employees have about the company they work for, the better they are able to understand and relate to its mission statement and vision. By empowering employees with knowledge, you are inviting them to stay. Is not this a fun and interesting way to help improve employee retention rates

Timeshare resale scams in Minnesota have ripped off consumers for quite some time, but never like this.
In the past six months, the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota has seen 31 complaints about supposedly local businesses that have persuaded timeshare owners to hand over thousands of dollars for fees related to selling their properties. The owners invariably find themselves stuck with the timeshare and the money gone who knows where.
"We don't really know why our area has been ground zero of late when it comes to these schemes," said BBB spokesman Dan Hendrickson. "But I can tell you I've never seen a 'blip' like this (and I've been here 11 years) — at least not locally."
Last week, the Minnesota Department of Commerce issued cease-and-desist orders to 11 companies that either solicited business from Minnesota consumers or falsely claimed they were located in the state.
While Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman said the department "took quick and decisive action" in issuing the orders, these slippery operators may be well out of the reach of state authorities.
In April, Whistleblower reported how one of the companies, Platinum Resort Services, charged a Michigan man a $927 upfront fee but failed to provide any services.
As of Friday, the company's website still shows a fake Minneapolis address, its e-mail address still accepts mail and an employee, Sherry, who was reached by phone but refused to give her last name, said "there will be no comment" on the state's order.
Whereabouts unknown
The first problem regulators face is tracking down the individuals behind the scams.
Seven of the 12 timeshare businesses told to cease and desist since November claimed addresses in Minneapolis or St. Paul, two of them within six blocks of the Commerce Department.
State inspectors found by doing old-fashioned legwork — talking with security guards, postal workers and tenants — that the companies had phony addresses.
In the end, the state was unable to make contact with any of the companies.
With the exception of Platinum Resort Services, Whistleblower also had no luck, though she did talk to a shoe-store owner who had acquired one of the company's toll-free numbers. He said he keeps getting calls from people demanding their escrow money back.
The address for Integrated Escrow Services, which bilked the Michigan owner of a Costa Rica timeshare out of $22,925, according to the state, belongs to a large Minneapolis law firm.
One phone number associated with another business, Twin Cities Property Advisors, actually rings up a Wal-Mart store in Vadnais Heights.
The registrant contact information for one website leads to a city park in Charleston, S.C.
The scammers often find potential victims by searching online for people advertising their timeshares for sale. They then conduct most of their business over the phone and tell victims to wire funds to cover fees related to the transfer of ownership.
Another problem turns out to be jurisdictional. At least 11 of the 12 companies instructed consumers to wire money to Mexico, where many of the websites are registered.
"These types of timeshare scams are most often international in scope, and therefore outside of the [Minnesota attorney general's] jurisdiction. To the extent that criminal action would be brought against individuals, the investigation and prosecution would need to be handled by federal authorities," according to Commerce spokeswoman Anne O'Connor.
If the companies fail to comply with the orders, "the Department can take the next step to file in [federal] court and set up contempt proceedings. If the Department can locate the individuals behind the companies, the violation could lead to a theft by swindle criminal referral."
Staying one step ahead
There's little incentive to keep using a name associated with a state enforcement action. The bogus timeshare businesses have no loyal customers who may lose track of the business if the name changes.
"Once the scammer has his company listed on the BBB or Internet searches as being a scam, he just names it something else and moves on," according to Brian Rogers, owner of the online forum Timeshare Users Group.
In fact, two companies ordered by the state to cease, World Transfer Title and Concord International Title, had nearly identical websites. Minnesota, their supposed headquarters, is misspelled in several places on each. Each boasted the company had managed more than £3.3 billion in property assets, worked with more than 380 resorts and developers, and provided services to more than 810,000 consumers.
Some operators re-invent themselves as contrite associates of their former selves. "[They] will get the lists of previous victims, call [them] up and claim they are ex-employees of the company that scammed [them] and they founded a NEW company to help the victims get their money back because they felt so sick that they were 'unintentionally' ripping people off," Rogers said. "They of course require another upfront fee to 'get your money back' and thus you are scammed again."
Absent any real chance to deal with these companies administratively or judicially, the best solution may rest with consumers.
"Getting to owners and ensuring they never pay upfront fees will be the only way to stop it," Rogers said. "There aren't any legitimate businesses in the timeshare industry that charge an upfront fee."

AOL service looks rushed, unready, and will underachieve
B+ for effort
Comment To say that AOL has rushed out its new film download service is an understatement. The terms of services just simply haven't been written yet (blank on the website) and it doesn't make clear that the films can only be downloaded in the US, but that's the case, and there has been little thought on pricing.
But it is clear that it has cut new deals with 20th Century Fox, Sony, Universal Pictures, and Warner Brothers for a substantial list of their full length movies. That just leaves Paramount and Disney currently not joining in for the new download service.
The downloads will cost between $9.99 and $19.99, presumably it's $9.99 for classics and $19.99 for those in their DVD window. Customers can keep the film, but cannot burn it to a DVD, which means that AOL is breaking what we at Faultline consider a golden rule – downloads MUST be cheaper than DVDs because they cost the studio less.
AOL uses Windows media and DRM formats and allows customers to transfer the films to up to five PCs or portable devices, again as long as they are Windows based, so no phones, no iPods, no PSPs, which means no use.
Although users will own the titles, the movies can only be played on a limited number of Windows-based PCs or portable devices with limits varying, between four devices for movies and 10 for television shows.
So while we acknowledge that this is a fine effort, and that the company should get a B+ for effort, it's not going to suddenly drag people away from Netflix and Blockbuster, because it's just too darn hard and expensive. At best it will attract a few AOL lovers to a new source of movies.
The deal also includes popular TV content from the same studios, including Fox's 24 and Prison Break, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Hill Street Blues and these will be on sale for $1.99, the same pricing as iTunes.
Sony will be offering two channels of free to air, advertising supported, channels based around slightly retro classics such as Charlie's Angels and Starsky & Hutch, but these can also be bought for $1.99 without the adverts.

Ocean acidification is the name given to the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by their uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Between 1751 and 1994 surface ocean pH is estimated to have decreased from approximately 8.18 to 8.1. PH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. It approximates but is not equal to concentration of hydrogen ions expressed on a logarithmic scale. A low pH indicates a high concentration of hydrogen ions, while a high pH indicates a low concentration. A strong acid would be less than 1 on this scale. A recent study indicates the relative impact on future ocean acidification of different aspects of global climate change mitigation policies such as the year that global emissions peak.
The absorption of CO2 by water results in the formation of acid (carbonic acid) which is similar in concept to acid rain.
Although the natural absorption of CO2 by the world's oceans helps to mitigate the climatic effects of high CO2, it is believed that the resulting decrease in pH will have negative consequences, primarily for marine life used to a certain pH level that use CO2 to build carbonate shells. These span the food chain from autotrophs to heterotrophs and include organisms such as coccolithophores, corals, foraminifera, echinoderms, crustaceans and molluscs.
Aside from calcification, organisms may suffer other adverse effects, either directly as reproductive or physiological effects, or indirectly through negative impacts on food resources. Marine life will change as pH levels change. As of yet, there is no complete understanding of the overall effects.
In the Geophyswical Research Letters (VOL. 37, L15704, 5 PP., 2010), there is an article on the influence of environmental mitigation policy on ocean pH changes.
Relative to a scenario where CO2 emissions peak in 2016 and then decrease by 1% per year tend to lead to the same or current pH by 2100. No CO2 emission reduction leads to a decrease of global mean ocean surface pH to 7.67 to 7.81 in the same time frame.
If emissions are capped for example in 2016 and then reduced by 5% per year, ocean pH may be limited to a minimum of 8.02. This is still more acidic than the nineteenth century's pH level but better than the worse case projected in these computer simulations.
Unfortunately, the buffering capacity of the oceans is really not known, What is clear is that the ocean's pH is going down.

Manji Suzuki, DENSO Corporation
ISO 26262 demands strict work product management in configuration management, change management, and traceability management for automotive embedded systems, creating concern about drastic manpower and cost increases required to deal with ISO 26262.
At DENSO, we think that "process", "method," and "tools" are important to managing complexity and mitigate risks. Tools have especially become a key way to realize effective and strict management with minimum additional efforts.
DENSO started evaluating open source software and application life-cycle management (ALM) solutions based on Eclipse technology in 2003; however, we finally decided to adopt PTC (former MKS) Integrity as the corporate standard ALM tool not only for ISO 26262 but also for leveraging our capability.
This presentation shows DENSO's use of PTC Integrity for projects using legacy processes and provides experiences with applying it also to Model-Based Design.

PITTSBURGH The Steelers added a third tight end to their active roster today as they signed veteran tight end Sean McHugh to a one-year deal.
McHugh (6-5, 265) spent the past three seasons with the Detroit Lions on both their active roster and practice squads. He was originally drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the seventh round (214st overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft out of Penn State. McHugh was cut by the Titans following their 2004 training camp and signed by the Green Bay Packers, where he spent the entire 2004 campaign.
In 25 career games (14 starts), McHugh has 20 receptions for 277 yards (13.9 avg). He had his best season in 2007 for the Lions, playing in 15 games (12 starts) and making 17 catches for 252 yards (14.8 avg).
They must be comfortable with the back-up offensive line players that we have. A third tight end might not be such a bad idea if we are going to run a lot of double tight end sets. This guy will undoubtedly also play special teams which another O-lineman probably wouldn't have. Those O-lineman are usually too slow to contribute on kick-off coverage teams.

A 14-year-old boy from Australia who was arrested for pot possession on the resort island of Bali could get prison time in Indonesia, where drug laws are exremely harsh.
The boy, whose name has not been released, appeared in court wearing a black mask to shield him from a media crush when his trial began on Tuesday. The judge did not wear his usual robe in an effort to minimize stress on the boy, according to CNN.
The teen faces three charges, including possession, which carries a sentence of up to six years. He is also charged with drug use, which could bring a four-year sentence. If only found guilty of the third charge, drug use by a minor, he could avoid jail time.
U.S. & World
"We are optimistic, and we hope that we will get the result we want -- that he be returned to his parents and avoids jail time," said the teen's lawyer, Mohammad Rifan.
Rifan said he expects a quick decision in the trial, which could end by mid-November.
"The boy was under stress from the media attention but was otherwise in relatively good condition during the court hearing," Rifan said.
The boy was arrested Oct. 4 after allegedly buying a small amount of pot on the street while on vacation with his parents in Bali.
Indonesia drugs laws are strict, with some even carrying the death penalty. Two Australians are on death row in Bali's Kerobokan prison, according to CNN, while six more are serving life sentences

Wisconsin-based Shopko announces more store closings
Published 02-07-2019
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin-based retail chain Shopko Stores has announced more store closings as the company tries to emerge from bankruptcy.
Shopko said this week it plans to close an additional 139 Shopko and Shopko Hometown stores. That brings the list of closings to 251 stores, about two-thirds of the company's retail locations.
In addition, the company says it will relocate about 50 optical centers in closing stores to new, stand-alone locations. Shopko filed for bankruptcy protection in January, citing excessive debt and ongoing competitive pressure.
The retailer, headquartered near Green Bay, said in a statement it believes the closings will help make Shopko more attractive to potential buyers.

James Shippen, Coventry University, UK
In this webinar we will illustrate biomechanical analysis within the MATLAB and Simulink environment. Applications of the technique range across medical analysis, physical therapy, engineering design, and sport and exercise science. Examples from each of these fields will be demonstrated within the webinar. A biomechanical model of a human will be demonstrated in SimMechanics and the Optimization Toolbox will be used to calculate the anatomical trajectories, loads in the muscles and contact forces at the joints.

One year ago, Barack Obama convened his National Security Council in the Situation Room in the basement of the West Wing to talk about war with Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was publicly threatening to attack Iranian nuclear sites. If Netanyahu went ahead, the U.S. could be dragged into a war on Israel's terms, long before options to avoid conflict had been exhausted. Under fire from Republicans for being a fair-weather friend to Israel, Obama had scheduled a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and an interview with an American reporter widely read in Israel. The question in the Situation Room that day: What would happen if Obama publicly committed to a war to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon?
Obama had never made such a promise in public, and he thought it would help persuade Netanyahu to step back from the brink. But by speaking out, he would be putting the U.S.'s credibility on the line in the global effort to prevent Tehran from getting a weapon. If he promised to go to war and didn't follow through, other nations in the region, distrusting American assurances of protection, would start their own nuclear programs. Obama said that he was aware of the risk but that he wanted to draw the line in public anyway. On March 4, 2012, Obama told the AIPAC crowd, "I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests." In his interview with Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, he said, "As President of the United States, I don't bluff."
One year later, Iran has yet to call it. Even as Obama has committed to using military force to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, he has worked hard to avoid war. Attacking Iran's nuclear sites could cost American military and civilian lives, set off a wave of terrorist attacks, spike oil prices and sour the U.S.'s relations with Muslims worldwide. So Obama has tried to slow or derail the Iranian program through a combination of diplomacy, sanctions and covert action. He has succeeded in pushing the timeline for war back at least 12 months.
But eventually time will run out. As talks among Iran, the U.S. and other international powers ended inconclusively on Feb. 27, even optimists said Obama's promise will be put to the test in his second term. The Pentagon has launched the largest buildup of forces in the Gulf since the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war, and Iran has boosted security around its nuclear sites and is reportedly handing out shoulder-launched missiles capable of downing civilian airliners to loosely allied terrorist groups in the region. Senior congressional Republicans say they are expecting to be briefed soon on the options and consequences of a U.S. strike.
In the mythology of the American presidency, a Commander in Chief makes tough decisions once, unreservedly, and then acts. Just as often, though, a President acts to avoid tough decisions and then works behind the scenes to steer events, persuade friends and enemies and avoid no-win choices. As the dangerous, complicated drama involving the U.S., Iran and Israel enters its final chapters, Obama will soon face the hardest decision of his presidency. This is the story of how he got here.
The End of Containment

General Motors says it has sold its 8.5 percent stake in Detroit-based Ally Financial for about $900 million.
The Detroit automaker said Thursday it expects to record a gain of $500 million from the deal in its fourth-quarter earnings.
It wouldn't say who bought the stake, which was sold in a private placement.
Ally is GM's former auto loan and mortgage arm. It had to be rescued by the U.S. government at the height of the financial crisis.
The Treasury Department still holds a 64 percent stake in Ally, with the rest held by a mix of institutional investors.
GM says the deal gives the company more financial flexibility. It says Ally will continue to make loans to GM dealers and customers.

Jisc Digital Media have just launched their latest infokit, concerning Gamification. I am the researcher and author behind it.
This work took a bit longer than planned, for several reasons. One of which was the trip into the heart of gamification being somewhat long and winding; there's only so many points and leaderboards you can look at before you start going a bit Benjamin L. Willard. A few of the systems I looked at are listed in the infokit; there were more. (Too) many more.
Despite being the sole author of the infokit, there have been a lot of influences on it. These include Karla Youngs with chat and comments, Martin Hamilton (Digital Futures) and Jon Knight for various chats about gamification, and Lawrie Phipps (lawrie : converged), with whom I had a long chat on a barge several years back about the value(s) of technology in education. Some of that talk has stuck in the mind and was influential on the chapter concerning gamifying your learning situation.
The quality writing of several academic education specialists has also been useful and thought provoking. These include Lorna Campbell (Open World), David Kernohan (Followers of the Apocalypse), Nicola Whitton (play think learn) and Sheila McNeill (howsheilaseesIT). The writing of Richard Hall (Richard Hall's Space) was especially influential on the appendix concerning academia as a gamified system. And Rachel Bruce is always awesome to bounce academic ideas off, no matter the timezone.
I've also spoken to, heck, a *lot* of teachers (especially) and lecturers through 2015 about gamification. Their views have been … diverse, and often strongly worded. But always useful.
My own thoughts on gamification – specifically, gamification in education – are … complicated. To greatly simply: the attractiveness of gamification, from a 'shiny' perspective, is clear. As is the possibility of nudging or motivating or engaging a part of a cohort. However, the dangers are also clear; some students who were doing okay before gamification came along could be demotivated, repelled or excluded by a gamified learning system. And many other things can go wrong; it's not surprising that the longest chapter in the infokit deals with issues, problems and weaknesses. Vendors are everywhere, selling the shiny. And that shiny may or may not work; many factors influence, and the research base is in a state of catch-up. Even if it does work, that shiny may be expensive; vendors don't do sales pitches because they love the smell of leaderboards in the morning, either.
Additionally, there are data privacy concerns. Generating micro-data about learning performances of students is one thing. Showing comparative performances in a leaderboard, or some other game mechanic, is another. Doing the same for schoolchildren: even more problematic. Storing and displaying gamified data about their classroom behavior, as opposed to learning performances: seriously problematic. Where there is personalised data, there is usually, eventually, a marketplace for it.
But returning to the issue of expense and cost, one area that seems positive is the homebrew, DIY, low tech, low complexity, gamification scene. Sticky stars on wallcharts; google spreadsheets adaptations; gamification plugins for WordPress, Joomla and Drupal; extensions for moodle; additional functionality for your VLE. Structures and content which you can build yourself, without losing control, data privacy and a huge chunk of budget to some third-party company. Systems that do not overawe the students who were happily working anyway, before people suggested gamifying their learning processes. There could be something there. More quality research, as ever, would be useful.
And there are other positive attributes. Badges are a distinctly interesting thing that have been around for a long time; since probably the first organisation and ranking of people in any way. Open Badges are especially interesting, as they seem to be solving some of the problems within digital badges. They also won't ruin your departmental budget.
If you read the infokit, I hope you find some of it interesting. I don't expect you to agree with all of it; in fact, some parts should incite discomfort or profound disagreement in many people; if they don't, I've probably failed. But I hope the final section makes you ponder (though please do not quit your job in academia because of something in there; I do not want that burden on me).

In my mind, in my little world, I acknowledge that I live behind the leading edge of technology. I type this post on a machine that is 9 years old, and even when it was born, it was an underachiever. I know that and I respect it, but at the same time I am pleased that it does what it does, at the pace it does it, with a little coaching from me.
I got a look at the other side of the fence today, visiting a friend who owns a machine that so far outstrips this one that it might as well have traveled back through time. An Alienware Area-51 ALX X-58, an Intel Core i7 rated at 3.2Ghz over eight CPUs, and a whopping 12Gb of RAM. It's a machine that looks and sounds like a V8 engine, and probably demands as much in resources. I was, to put it mildly, flabbergasted.
I didn't even know machines were sold with those kind of specifications, although I admit to hearing about similar hardware while lurking in #crux. The last time I was in close proximity to a machine with anything near 12Gb of RAM, it was a rack-mounted server responsible for managing industrial-grade printing processes.
I don't mean to critique the machine because that's hardly any affair of mine. I wasn't there to playtest it or check the hardware or even to touch it — and to be honest, I didn't want to because I feared it might snap off a finger or two. I'm pretty sure it growled at me when I wasn't looking.
But I take that experience along with the fact that I've bundled up the fastest machine I've had in my house for the past four or five months — a measly 1.4Ghz Celeron M packed into a failing Dell Inspiron 600m — and shipped it off to an address in America. I was weary of the sketchy motherboard and off-again, on-again keyboard performance, and given the fact that the machine never had any real sentimental value, I am almost as glad to get it off my desk as I was to originally try it out. "Lukewarm" is probably the best word for the entire experience.
But in my book, until this evening, a 1.4Ghz Celeron was fast, in much the same way a 2Ghz AMD64 was fast, or even a 1Ghz Pentium III was fast. I considered it a twin miracle of hardware superiority and my miserly tendencies to come up with a 18.104.22.168 kernel configuration that the Celeron could compile, from start to finish, in under 10 minutes.
That kind of myopia probably isn't good for me, on the whole. I already said I'd like to get my hands on a faster-than-2Ghz machine, if only to have reliable access to USB2.0 ports and a machine that can compile without undue stress. I am realizing more and more that what I consider to be usable, or what I consider to be fast, is only because my mental yardstick puts a Pentium 4 in the "high end" bracket.
And therein lies the problem: That's not the case any longer. Three years ago when people were ho-humming 800Mhz machines, or a year and a half ago when Pentium 4s suddenly became "antiques," I felt I had the moral high ground. But to make the same case for those machines now, after seeing my friend's computer … well, it suddenly seems a bit weak.
After tonight I worry that maybe I sound like the hermit out in the woods, shouting about how to get the best performance out of a donkey cart, when the rest of the world is cruising around in Cadillacs. Perhaps my perspective is so distant from contemporary that there's no point in ranting at all.
Oh well. I suppose there's no harm in it. I'll still keep an eye open for a proper 2Ghz-plus machine, and maybe one day find one I can plop down on my desk (in the space left over from the 600m), and be amazed and surprised at the incredible speed. And knowing me, I'll probably blab about here. My only hope is that I can keep a balanced perspective on the issue, if I can look back and remember this note.

125 gm all purpose flour
150 gm rough sugar ( I used granulated sugar)
3 extra XL egg or 4 Large egg
1 tbsp concentrated orange juice (I used regular orange juice)
1 tbsp 7-up or Sprite
1: Sieved flour in a bowl ,set aside.
2: Combine eggs and sugar in mixer bowl,beat ingredients at highest speed until foamy and fluffy.It's about 15 minutes if you use hand beater on speed #3.If you're using Kitchen Aid mixer,use #8 speed for 10 minutes.
3:Then add in 7-up and orange juice before adding in flour.Reduce speed to low ,mix flour well together,remove immediately after 10 round whips .
3:Meanwhile,prepare water in a large wok with cover at high heat.
4:Scoop half of the dough into a prepared parchment paper over a steam basket. Mixed the other half dough with cocoa powder and swirl over the dough in the basket,to make marble effect cake.Use knife or chopstick or spoon to swirl the chocolate batter .
5:Steam batter in the steamer at high heat for 30 minutes .Do not let the vapor drop on the batter.Best result use clothes to close the gap.Remove the cover immediately from steamed cake to check the readiness by using toothpick.If the tooth pick come out clean,then it ready.
6:Remove parchment paper before cut and serve.
When adding flour into the egg mixture,make sure the speed must be reduced to low if not the cake is going to be heavy,rough and tough,it's won't be puffy and light.Or you can just mix the flour manually by whisking with hand whisker ,don't let the batter seat too long.Also take note that the heat must be high while steaming or else the cake won't come up nicely and puffy.
I didn't realise my new steamer collected vapor on the top of the cover.You can see the water dropped on the top of the cake. Hop over to see my mom's "Kueh Nee Gor"HERE!!! My mom's "Kueh Nee Gor" look much much better than mine ,right?

RubyCEF brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 266 Designs von 28 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Our new cooperative needs a logo. A brief summary of potential themes for this logo: grassroots, community, energy efficiency, neighborhood revitalization, inclusion, spiral, scalable, fun, people-centered, and/or innovation. We also want it to convey that we are fiscally sound and credible without feeling institutional. We want a unique logo that, as much as possible, doesn't remind people of other logos they've seen before.
UPDATED: I've consulted with our full team and we decided that we are generally in favor of images containing people, particularly when there are more than two people. We also like circular shapes and spirals. We don't want the logo to seem too corporate or "establishment."
SECOND UPDATE: Please make a version of your design that incorporates our tagline: Community Powered Energy. We will also want a version without it, so please have one with and one without the tagline.
We don't have much in mind for particular colors (although minimal use of green would be best), fonts, or images. Our focus is more on the ideas we want to evoke, listed below:
- community, neighbors helping each other, cooperative, people power
- energy efficiency, solution to climate change, neighborhood revitalization,
- effective, fiscally sound, credible
- inclusive of marginalized voices, expanding, spiral, scalable, adaptive, holistic
- fun, personable, people-centered and -scaled
- entrepreneurial activism, innovative, possibilityOur logo should be engaging to both people who consider themselves environmentalists and people who want nothing to do with "environmentalism." Also please note that the graphic design of our website (http://www.cooperativeenergyfutures.com) does not reflect the logo we are seeking.
Our mission statement: The mission of Cooperative Energy Futures is to use the power of community to create economic opportunity through energy efficiency, and to empower people to participate in simple climate and energy solutions that work for everyone.
- Usable on our website, in letterhead, on business cards, etc.
- Can say Cooperative Energy Futures or CEF or both.
- Smooth, circular images.
- Wind turbines or suns, since we are not a wind or solar company.
- An at-this-minute look that will be outdated in three years.
- Jagged or sharp images or fonts
- A corporate feel.

I know there's already been a lot written in response to Osama bin Laden's death on May 1, but something about it all left me feeling discombobulated since I first read the news (on Twitter). After listening to President Obama's speech and seeing the celebrations and reactions on Twitter and Facebook that ensued, I felt even more ill at ease and I'm hoping to finally articulate my thoughts.
Justice, not Vengeance
I understand feeling a sense of relief that bin Laden is no longer able to kill innocent people. I understand a need for quiet reflection. I understand feeling a sense of justice. What I don't understand is crowds of people chanting "USA! USA!" like they are at some kind of sporting event, encouraging your children to wave signs celebrating someone's death or all of the Tweets and Facebook statuses from people with vengeance coursing through their veins. It disturbed me. What are we teaching our children?
Yes, bin Laden did atrocious things in his life, but by cheering and celebrating his death, are we not stooping to a new low? I admit I did not personally know anyone killed in the 9-11 attacks, so it's entirely possible that my somber reaction to the news is different than those personally affected. Still, it just doesn't feel right.
David Sirota of Salon.com has this to say:
This is bin Laden's lamentable victory: He has changed America's psyche from one that saw violence as a regrettable-if-sometimes-necessary act into one that finds orgasmic euphoria in news of bloodshed. In other words, he's helped drag us down into his sick nihilism by making us like too many other bellicose societies in history — the ones that aggressively cheer on killing, as long as it is the Bad Guy that is being killed.
…our reaction to the news … should be the kind often exhibited by victims' families at a perpetrator's lethal injection — a reaction typically marked by both muted relief but also by sadness over the fact that the perpetrators' innocent victims are gone forever, the fact that the perpetrator's death cannot change the past, and the fact that our world continues to produce such monstrous perpetrators in the first place.
When we lose the sadness part — when all we do is happily scream "USA! USA! USA!" at news of yet more killing in a now unending back-and-forth war — it's a sign we may be inadvertently letting the monsters win.
Talking to Kids About Osama bin Laden
What are we teaching our children when we celebrate the death of another human being? Here are a few different thoughts on how to talk to (or not talk to) your children about Osama bin Laden.
- Annie at PhD in Parenting chose not to talk to her kids about it: Kids and Osama bin Laden
— "Talking to my kids about history is important. Teaching them about diversity and injustices and privilege is important. But purposely opening this particular can of worms and then scaring them by not being able to answer their questions is not something I want to do right now."
- Melissa Ford at Stirrup Queens chose to talk to her twins about bin Laden before they heard about it from someone else: Talking to Kids about Osama bin Laden
- Jenny Lind Schmitt at Psychology Today talked to her kids about it too, hung up an American flag in the house and talked about honoring all of the people that died on 9/11 and since as a result of bin Laden: Osama bin Laden's Death: What It Means to Kids
- From Dane Laverty at Times and Seasons: Barack Obama, Osama bin Laden, and the Kids Eat Corn Pops
— "My hope, however, is that it [bin Laden's death] will serve as a reminder to us that we can be grateful to have the luxury of dealing with the kinds of inconveniences we face here in America, to remind us that early morning seminary and burned cookies are blessings, because they mean that we're not facing ideological repression and physical starvation."
- From Danielle Sullivan at Babble: Kids Cheer In NYC Over Osama Bin Laden's Death
— "Isn't celebrating a death the very opposite of what we should do as parents and Americans? I'm not suggesting we shouldn't feel satisfied or even proud that our country stood up for those who were senselessly killed, but we shouldn't make it a party, don our kids in hate-filled t-shirts and light fireworks (as they did in my neighborhood)."
As for my kids, I haven't seen any reason to talk to them about bin Laden at this point. As far as I know, they've never heard of him and at ages 4 and 6, I don't feel like there's anything they need to know right now. We'll save that history lesson for when they are older.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
There's a quote that's been circulating wildly after bin Laden's death that was misattributed to Martin Luther King Jr., but is now correctly being credited to Jessica Dovey.
I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. — Jessica Dovey
That spoke to me, as it did to so many other people who reposted it on the 'net causing it to go viral. And it's so much more eloquent than anything I could come up with myself.
Martin Luther King Jr. has also said several things that really speak to this week's events. I'll just share this one.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that.
Hate multiplies hate,
violence multiplies violence,
and toughness multiplies toughness
in a descending spiral of destruction….
The chain reaction of evil —
hate begetting hate,
wars producing more wars —
must be broken,
or we shall be plunged
into the dark abyss of annihilation.
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Strength To Love, 1963
I wish I had some tidy little paragraph to wrap this all up, but I don't. I only hope and pray that the darkness of our world begins to subside little by little and the love and light shine through. Peace.

A blessed Lent to all!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
If you were not a bishop or monk ext......... would you want to live a celibate life? I don't think anyone would.
I don't want to swallow my temper and forgive people for what they've done to me....but I try to anyway.I don't want to be concerned about people other than me...but I try to anyway.I don't want to restrain my sharp tongue when irritated...but I try to anywayIt's not about what we want to do...it's about what we're supposed to do, regardless of temptations.
OFF THE TOPIC:Welcome to OCnet Tina.Many years and God bless
I know people who, though having no desire to be a monastic or a bishop, have lived a celibate life and eventually became priests later in life, thus they will be celibate until their death.
But swallowing your temper is NOT the same as being celibate. I am not encourageing being gay it is just sad that they only have these choices. Yes, life is unfair, many of these people with mental illnesses will never experience being married and true love, just like it is unfair that we live in good houses and allways have food while starving children in third world country's die every day. It is just that people are so judgemental towards gay people who choose to have a same sex partner, I am just trying to stress the fact that it is not so easy as some would think.
You also have a daughter to share your life with. That makes it easier.Anastasios
I would hope that you know that a gay person can not be ordained.
Some have stated that some people are born with homosexual proclivities - but this would mean that God created people that way, which borders on blasphemous. But the patristic stance on the issue seems to be that we are not born passionate, rather we let a thought enter the heart and over time it becomes a passion. And once this passion has set in it feels as if it were natural, even though it is not. I offer this from St. Silouan the Athonite by Archimandrite Sophrony:  "The further development of a sinful intrusive thought can be portrayed roughly as follows: the mind is attracted by the delectation afforded by the passion, and this is an extremely important and crucial moment because the fusion of mind with tempting ideas provides fertile soil for passion. If the mind does not by an exercise of will tear itself away from the suggested delights but continues to dwell on them, it will find itself pleasently attracted, then involved and finally positively acquiescent. After that, the ever increasing delight in the passion may take possesion of -make captive - mind and will....such captivity may only happen once and never recur if it had come about because of the inexperience of someone engaged in the ascetic struggle. But if the enchantment repeats itself, passion becomes second nature, and then all man's natural forces are at its service." (emphasis mine)
I have never found friends to provide the same level of intimacy as family. Just my personal opinion though.Anastasios
If homosexuality is a genetic disorder it is not a sin then, therefore the moral teaching of the church is wrong - which is not a good road to go down IMO. As the life of Father Seraphim attests, this passion can be overcome with much struggle. Genetic disorders are a medical condition that are treated with medical means.ÂÂ
If homosexuality is a genetic disorder it is not a sin then, therefore the moral teaching of the church is wrong - which is not a good road to go down IMO.
Tikhon, I agreed with everything you said until:"You simply cannot change the sexual orientation of people. I think any type of aversion therapy that seeks to change gay people into "straight" people is misguided and damaging, and will eventually lead gay people to hate and despise themselves. And I abhor the idea that all a gay man needs to do is marry a woman and that will somehow "cure" him."The problem is, people often have shades of sexual orientation; I once learned in a psychology class that there are really not many people who are 100% gay or 100% straight; most people lean one way or the other but through life or circumstances, some people do flip flop and some (bisexuals) even enjoy both.  So in the case of someone who has dated women but has some homosexual inclinations, should we tell him not to marry because he might end up deciding he actually leans gay? Or would it be better to encourage him to persue the straight side of him?I would agree with your assessment of Focus on the Family as well, I think that reparative therapy is strange, but at the same time, if people exist who claim to have once been gay but who are now straight, shouldn't we give them the benefit of the doubt? Is each and every person who professes to be ex-gay lying?  I don't think a priest should ever suggest to a person that they try to "stop being gay" but if someone believes they can do it and is willing to try, shouldn't a priest help him in that endeavor considering that **if** it is God's will, a temptation can be taken away? (although even St Paul did not have his removed).I guess what I am saying is that while I agree with everything else you said, I am unsure about your strict deliniation of gay vs. straight and I am also unsure if we should generalize and say that all gay people should never try to become straight.  I think most won't, most shouldn't even try perhaps, but if someone is gay but really has some reason for wanting to change over (such as sharing an intimate relationship with another human being and having children) and they approach the priest for assistance, I think the priest would be obligated to help him--although as I have said, I don't think priests should ever peddle fundamentalist protestant style "reparation therapy."Have I misunderstood any of your positions or points of view, Tikhon? Because I actually am just interested in this subject from a pastoral point of view, am interested sincerely in the dialogue, and would simply like to learn more about the subject.Anastasios
If someone is a gay Christian can they have a partner so long as they do not do anything sexual with them?
I have never found friends to provide the same level of intimacy as family. Just my personal opinion though.
Are we talking like Platonically, or someone that they want to do...other...things with? That would make a difference, right?
A church with a woman priest.................... go look at "the charismatics are among us" we have discused all of this allready and believe me it was not pretty.

Royal photographer Steen Brogaard taught himself the art of photography as a young man on the streets of Copenhagen "fighting for justice". After several years as a "self-proclaimed ninja" and underground photographer, Brogaard landed a job as a press photographer for one of the most read Danish Magazines Billed Bladet. The young talented artist entered the Royal scene in 1992, when he became Crown Prince Frederik's personal photographer. He later became Prince Joachim's photographer of choice for private and public events. Other notable clients include, among many others, Danish National Television DR, Danish television TV2, Hello Magazine, Nordisk Film, LIFE Magazine, Unicef and WHO.
BB: Steen, why did you decide to go into photography? What's your story?
SB: The time is the early 80s. It's recession, no future, youth occupying empty houses and fighting in the streets, anti-apartheid demonstrations, the art into the streets not on museums.
In the center of Copenhagen I had established a darkroom in the basement of Greenpeace Denmark's headquarters. The deal was that the rent be paid with photography.
I had my share of high speed inflatables. Working with wanna-be journalists, -layouters, -printers and -photographers who work to publish the weekly underground-paper "København". Everything was very anti-establishment.
Imagine a tall, slender guy, always dressed in a black coverall and an earring of gold, glasses John Lennon-like. That was me, a self-proclaimed ninja from the provinces now fighting for justice and exposing the hypocrisy of the bourgeois. At least – this is how I saw myself, truly believing that my camera would take me to the epicenter of power, where the new world was born.
I had just quit university. A six week study to Sri Lanka, at the age of 20, had shown me the beauty of photography and made it impossible to return to the books.
The new world was never born and my friends all left "København" to become real journalists, photographers, and so on. Eventually I got an internship at the glossy magazine Billed Bladet. The internship taught me to tie a tie, and I got a few connections and a glimpse of a world of celebrities.
BB: Can you expand on your caption "Tales through photography"?
SB: I have always loved to tell stories. At school, my papers were always read to the class. I've just changed my tool from pen to camera. The catch-line is a promise that I try to have each and every one of my photographs to give a hint of a bigger story.
BB: Where is your photographic art exhibited?
SB: Right now I have my exhibition Tales From The Top Of Europe somewhere on the way to Brazil and a similar set on it's way to Shanghai later this year. I just concluded a winter-depression-exhibition Sub-stans, currently exhibited in a gallery in Denmark. And of course the most current work is at show at my sister-site mosthigh.dk (named after a song by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant).
BB: At what point in your career did you become a photographer for the Royal family? How did they "discover" you?
SB: I first "met" the Crown Prince, when I was sent to Skagen (Danish jetset resort), when working for Billed Bladet in the late 80s, to cover his holiday. I remember his haunted look, when he saw us coming over the hill to spoil his volleyball-game. I didn't feel comfortable by this invading of privacy and promised myself not to do that ever again. Hmm.
I think he will say that I have haunted him a lot ever since – but it has been by invitations! After my time on Billed Bladet, a friend of mine urged me to send my portfolio to the court, as she knew the Crown Prince was looking for his own photographer. I really didn't want to get involved; it was too big, too frightening. But she didn't take no for an answer – I sent my portfolio and next time I met the Crown Prince was in New York, making my first photographs of him with his consent.
BB: What about photography do you love most?
SB: To meet people, get in touch, talk – and suddenly you're there, not exactly behind their masks, but you see somehow, who they really are. Or could be… To take that picture and to show it to them afterward.
BB: As a preferred photographer of the royal family, you presumably spend a lot of time with them. Is it pure business or did you get to know them personally during the process?
SB: I don't think you can make personal pictures of people without getting to know them – or us getting to know each other. You give and you take. You deal with trust. Royals have cameras pointed at them everyday. The very least you can do is to try to make their time worth their while, have lot of laughs and get the job done.
BB: Do you use assistants when you take your photos?
SB: It depends on the job. At large, official photo sessions, such as a christening, where the whole family participate, I use a couple of assistants. Other shootings are more intimate. I try to keep it as simple as possible and prefer to work all by myself if it's possible. My assistants have been photographers from my studio and interns. People I trust 100%, some of them well-reputable photographers themselves.
BB: What sort of techniques do you use when you take photographs of members of the royal family? Do you take a large number of photos and pick the best? Do you give them instructions?
SB: Actually there're not many instructions to give, as the royal family is very professional in their attitude towards photography.
I talk a lot, and I try not to stumble over any cables! The time schedule is often very tight and I honestly don't think of how many exposures I make, I move around a lot. Some sessions are more formal than others – usually I want the session to go with the flow, so to speak.
BB: Do you think it is more difficult to be a photographer for the Royal family than being a photographer more generally?
SB: Every time you make a photo of the royal family you make a photo of an icon. So you're well ahead even before you start shooting. The surroundings and your models are beautiful, so why getting stressed? Hmm.
Each photo I make is a battle, like catching a ball. You never know from where the ball will come. Will you still catch the ball? If not – thousands of people will see your mistake, including all your customers. And your mother. Thus the pressure of expectations is much worse compared to on a normal session. Still, I find myself enjoying the fuzz more and more during the years. The fear isn't that overwhelming anymore.
BB: What has been one of the most rewarding photo sessions with the Royal family?
SB: Waiting with newborn Princess Isabella. She's sleeping, and I have been there for hours. There's no one around. Suddenly she awakes and looks right into my camera. It's like she sees the world for the very first time. And I am not out of film…
BB: You have taken pictures of the royal twins and their older siblings. Is it difficult to take pictures of babies and children?
SB: There is no such thing as an easy picture! The thing with children is you can't rush them. You have to play by their rules.
BB: Most of your photos of the Royal family appear to be portraits and non-action shots. Do you also take action shots of the Royal family?
SB: I have always tried to work action and the unsuspected into my formal shots. From time to another I follow the royals abroad, where I work in the field together with my coll
eagues from the press. Apart from the adventures of being on the road this gives great pictures, where the unsuspected element defines the decisive moment.
BB: Can you give an example of a photo you are especially proud of or happy with?
SB: I made a shot for a book, where the Crown Prince is getting dressed. I feel it's a photo of a man taking on his destiny.
BB: What do you think countries, like America, that are not a monarchy are missing out on? What's the great thing about monarchies? Are the members role models for the country's families?
SB: The Danish royal family is a carrier of Denmark's history through 1000 years. It's about continuity and heritage. One must remember that the royals can only be royal, if they understand that balance between intimacy and distance. If not, then they are vulnerable in the role they should play. They should be role models, despite not having the same terms as we do. They can not choose their religion, their job or their spouse (without permission of the government), these three things is something we all take for granted. The royals are actually extras in a theater, where the population sets the stage, and if we ask them to go left and jump, they are expected to ask: How high?
BB: Other Danish-Americans are frequently emailing me to share the fact that they, too, are big fans of the Royal family. Why do you think the Royal Danish family is so popular?
SB: I think the Danish Royal family manages to keep a balance between being formal and informal. Perhaps in this fast changing world it's comforting to know, that some things remain the same. I remember the Crown Prince saying in an interview that the Crown Prince is forever, meaning that his title isn't bound to him as a person. In celebrating the royal family we somehow celebrate a greater meaning of life. Life that goes on for generations even though we as individuals all have to pass.
BB: What are your dreams for the future?
SB: I just started reading Susan Sontag's book On Photography. I can't really tell yet if it is discouraging me or if it makes my passion for photography grow. I don't believe my camera will change the world or take me to the epicenter of power anymore. Instead I focus on making pictures, saying – Look – this is also part of our world, isn't it great/sad/fantastic/ depressing? Or saying – look – what if the world is like this?

I have attempted to get an answer on the math.stackexchange but have not got any answer for a while. Thus, I am posting the question here. I am analyzing the following problem in order to establish that it is well-posed and state the regularity of the solution.
$$u_t=u_{xx}+\frac{1}{T-t}(x-y)u_y,\;u(0,x,y)=u_0(x,y),\; x,y\in R, \;t \in [0,T]$$
I think I have found a reference to show existence of that equation. However, for the uniqueness and continuous dependance I have difficulty due to "bad" behavior of the coefficient $\frac{1}{T-t}(x-y)$ as $t$ approaches $T$. Moreover, application of the Hormander theorem gives the regularity only inside of the domain. In fact, I can have this problem well-posed on any finite interval $[0,t_1]$ for $t_1 < T$, but not on the whole interval $[0,T]$.
I can do change of variables $z:=y(T-t)$ and $u(t,x,y)=v(t,x,z)$. Then, after application of the chain rule, the problem becomes much simpler to analyze:
$$v_t=v_{xx}+xv_z,\;v(0,x,z)=u_0(0,x,zT),\; x,z\in R, \;t \in [0,T]$$
and one might notice that $v(T,x,0)=u(T,x,y)$. This is where I am having some difficulty to continue. First, the second formulation satisfies the conditions for existence and uniqueness, does that imply the original problem has a unique solution as well? Second, the energy estimates are used to show continuous dependence on the initial data, do they imply the original problem is also continuously dependent on the initial data? Third, application of the Hormander condition gives the regularity on the entire time domain $[0,T]$, does that imply the regularity of the original problem? Basically, I want to know if it is equivalent to consider the alternative formulation in order to establish existence, uniqueness, continuous dependance and regularity of the original problem. Would like to hear any suggestions or answers to that question.

184.108.40.206 ENSO and tropical storms
Any changes in ENSO as the climate changes will impact the distribution and tracks of tropical cyclones (including intense storms such as hurricanes and typhoons). During an El Niño, for example, the incidence of hurricanes typically decreases in the Atlantic and far western Pacific and Australian regions, but increases in the central and eastern Pacific (Lander, 1994). Thus it should be recognised that decreases in one area may be offset by increases in another area because of the global connectivity of the tropical atmospheric circulation. Global warming from increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere suggests increased convective activity but there is a possible trade-off between individual versus organised convection. While increases in sea surface temperatures favour more and stronger tropical cyclones, increased isolated convection stabilises the tropical troposphere and this in turn suppresses organised convection making it less favourable for vigorous tropical cyclones to develop (Yoshimura et al., 1999). Thus changes in atmospheric stability (Bengtsson et al., 1996) and circulation may produce offsetting tendencies (e.g., Royer et al., 1998). General circulation models of the atmosphere (see Chapter 8, Section 8.8.4) do not resolve the scales required to properly address this issue; for instance, moist convection and hurricanes are not resolved adequately.
