Antonin Brault graduated from the first Vatel Martigny class, a School that opened in 2010. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 2013, and since then, Antonin gained experience in the Swiss hospitality industry in the four-star Vatel Hotel next to the campus and at the Grand Hotel du Lac, a five-star hotel located in Vevey, as the Assistant Banquet and Wedding Manager.
With the Marco Polo exchange program, he spent his second year at Vatel Mauritius, where he mixed his theoretical courses with practical application work in a luxurious Mauritian resort.
But he preferred the Emirates for his international internship: at the Radisson Blu Resort in Sharjah, where he worked for two months in the Sales and Marketing department, before joining the Hotel's RH department for two more months.
Right after graduation he took off for Kansas City, in the US, to do his Management Training in Accommodations at the Hotel Phillips, a four-star historical monument ranked hotel belonging to the Marcus Corporation Hotels & Resorts chain.
Nine months later, he came back to Switzerland and was hired as the Receptionist at the Geneva Movenpick. A young Vatelien with a lot of things to tell us!
What similarities and differences did you notice between Vatel Martigny and Mauritius?
Even though the courses are the same, Vatel Martigny and Vatel Mauritius have a completely different way of working. You have to understand that Mauritian culture is closely related to that of nearby islands. In my class there were students from the Seychelles, Reunion Island and Madagascar, whose culture was completely different from ours.
Furthermore, the vocabulary and cultural and other references are not at all the same. What I really noticed in Vatel Mauritius, were the faculty members, all enthusiastic professionals. Mauritius is facing several hurdles: economic, demographic and educational difficulties and Vatel is the first international Hotel Management School on the island. So I felt a lot of investment, both from the faculty members towards their students, but also students towards their School, with lip dubs, flash-mobs, etc.
Another big difference with Vatel in Martigny is that Vatel Mauritius students either live at home with their parents or share apartments off campus. In Switzerland, on the other hand, we live directly on the campus, in the School Residence, right next to the four-star Martigny Vatel Hotel. This makes relationships between students different.
One point that they do however have in common is that they are both very recent schools: Vatel Martigny is four years old and Mauritius is five.
What memories do you have of the years you spent each of these schools?
For Vatel Martigny, I remember most of all a school targeting positive changes and practical application courses in the hotel where we really learned a lot. I have excellent memories of professors who brought me a lot, both in terms of hotel management knowledge itself, but also in terms of know-how and working skills. This is a very important association wherever you work in a hotel.
For Vatel Mauritius, I really remember the great times we had at school, the friendly atmosphere, with a fantastic relationship between students. I'll never forget either the unbelievable professors we had with a point of view concerning hospitality that we never touch on in Europe.
l think it was because of the complementarity between these two schools that today I'm able to rise above everything and to forge my own vision of modern hotel management.
What did the second year you spent as a Marco Polo student bring you?
My second year in Mauritius brought me so much that I really hope every Vatel student can have this opportunity! The Marco Polo Program has two dimensions:
An academic dimension that teaches us a new way of looking at the hospitality industry with new notions, and that allows us to consolidate our knowledge and introduce other skills in hotel management in a different way.
And there's also such a great cultural dimension! The Marco Polo Program teaches us how to adapt ourselves, to question ourselves but above all, how to put ourselves into the shoes of the people we're living with. The biggest mistake, and a lot of people make this one, is to judge another culture by comparing it with your culture. Standards and values change, and you have to change too. I met extraordinary people who I'm still in touch with and I was able to take part in lots of unique events, like Mauritian festivities, Hindu religious ceremonies and even an Indian wedding!
These two dimensions, both academic and cultural ones, make up something that makes you more mature, and very quickly so. I learned a lot about others, but also about myself.

something on the bed, lifts it -- a small DINNER MINT.
Yeah enough of that... but that's how I feel about a lot of the current CC for The Sims 4. The same dress in 8080808080 separate recolors, over 30 days. Or one single item (maybe a small set of 3) released daily behind 52 ad*ly links.
To be honest, I don't see what the problem is with The Sims 4 game on its own (like so many others do). Matching sets included in the base game, it runs smoothly, loads in less than a minute - even with my current CC folder at 3.38 GB with 1,163 files. It was around 8 GB but I recently deleted over half of my CC and it still ran fine.
It's not perfect but The Sims 4 base game was by far the most superior of all four games, even without toddlers, design tool, etc.
When a friend first introduced me to The Sims 1, I thought it was ridiculous, only because you couldn't put together a matching living room, bedroom or kitchen set. Then I found out about CC and I spent countless hours building and playing and it became my favorite game.
When The Sims 2 was released, I felt pretty much the same and eagerly waited for CC to start being released because again, nothing matched, but the game play was fantastic, especially with every new expansion and lots of CC.
When The Sims 3 was released, I immediately started my blog and wanted to gather as much CC as possible and the CC was amazing. But after several expansions, the game ran horribly. Sims would stand around and get stuck for hours or even days (Sims time obviously) very little interaction between them, so after hours of building and designing a house, the game play sucked and I just kept waiting for The Sims 4 to be released. I recently stripped down my Sims 3 CC folder to 1.71 GB from around 10 GB and it still doesn't have the quick loading times like The Sims 4. It does seem a bit better and Sims seem to interact more, so I'm not sure if there was an update/fix for that since I've only opened the game twice since The Sims 4 was released.

There is a proper role for referendums in constitutional change, but only if done properly. If it is not done properly, it can be a dangerous tool. The Chairman of the Public Administration Committee, who is no longer in the Chamber, said that Clement Attlee—who is, I think, one of the Deputy Prime Minister's heroes—famously described the referendum as the device of demagogues and dictators. We may not always go as far as he did, but what is certain is that pre-legislative referendums of the type the Deputy Prime Minister is proposing are the worst type of all.
Referendums should be held when the electorate are in the best possible position to make a judgment. They should be held when people can view all the arguments for and against and when those arguments have been rigorously tested. In short, referendums should be held when people know exactly what they are getting. So legislation should be debated by Members of Parliament on the Floor of the House, and then put to the electorate for the voters to judge.
We should not ask people to vote on a blank sheet of paper and tell them to trust us to fill in the details afterwards. For referendums to be fair and compatible with our parliamentary process, we need the electors to be as well informed as possible and to know exactly what they are voting for. Referendums need to be treated as an addition to the parliamentary process, not as a substitute for it.

I actually like him as a politician, I don't agree with everything he says but he is at least principled and more importantly (and almost exclusively in todays House of Commons) scrupulous. He'd make a terrible PM though as he polarises peoples opinions as soon as he opens his mouth. Plus he has stated on more than one occasion he doesn't want the job.
May has been a total failure, it has to be a brexiteer for PM next just to try to unite the party. I'm betting it will be Dominc Raab as PM with Gove as Brexit secretary
There will be an extension to article 50 to the summer of 2019 whilst new negotiations take place. Europe will need to re-evaluate as they are due for new budget sign off in 2019 and none of the remaining EU members are going to agree to anything until what happens with us has been decided.

Hubble Space Telescope
Display Status:
This object is on display in the Space Race exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
Collection Item Summary:
Prior to undertaking construction of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) the Lockheed Missile and Space Company built a full-scale mockup in 1975 for conducting various feasibility studies. Initially a low-fidelity metal cylinder for testing handling procedures for the proposed spacecraft, the test vehicle evolved continuously as Lockheed proceeded through its feasibility studies and was awarded the contract to build the actual spacecraft. The test vehicle eventually served as a frame on which the cables and wiring harnesses for the actual spacecraft were fabricated. It was also used for simulations in developing maintenance and repair activities in orbit. Dynamic studies on the test vehicle including vibration studies and thermal studies led to its being designated the Hubble Space Telescope Structural Dynamic Test Vehicle (SDTV).
The artifact was stored outdoors at Lockheed in Sunnyvale Ca., until it was donated to NASM in June 1987 and shipped to the Garber facility. There it was refurbished and restored to its 1976 configuration. It went on display in the Space Hall in March 1989. In 1996 the SDTV was removed from exhibit in order to upgrade the object to simulate the actual HST as it was being deployed from the Shuttle. This major upgrade, generously supported and executed by Lockheed, HST subcontractors, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and NASM staff and volunteers, involved fabricating the equipment section for the Optical Telescope Assembly, the aperture door, high gain antennae, solar arrays, aft shroud handrails, and numerous other details. A major addition was realistic multi-layer (non-flight) thermal blanketing and taping, interface hardware, wave guides, and the umbilical. NASA also provided a large equipment cradle to allow the upgraded object to be displayed from the floor at a dramatic angle. The completed artifact was reinstalled in Space Hall in early 1997.

Self-drive is a popular way to explore New Zealand. Roads are well-maintained and signposted, and spectacular scenery awaits around every corner.
Rental car companies in New Zealand offer a wide range of vehicles available to suit any budget. You'll find all the big names as well as a number of local operators. Generally, the longer you hire the rental car, the cheaper the daily rate. There are depots in the main cities as well as in most of the regional airports throughout the country. One way hire is easy to organise. Make sure your travel insurance covers rental car hire.
Take a look through these recommended trips to start your itinerary planning – the majority of the trips are for self-drive travel. All main routes are sealed and well signposted; beyond the cities, traffic is light. Make sure you are well-rested before beginning your itinerary; it's a good idea to have a full night's sleep after arriving from a long-haul flight before getting behind the wheel.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Drivetrain
How To Replace A Steering Linkage
Get Headed In The Right Direction By Replacing Your '65-'66 Mustang's Steering Linkage
When we decided to do steering linkage replacement as a stand-alone article outside of complete front suspension replacement, we questioned our own judgment because front-end components typically wear out together and are replaced at the same time. However, Mustang front suspension components also have a lifespan that depends on how the car is driven. Upper ball joints are high-wear items on classic Mustangs no matter how you drive them. Uppers are normally the first front suspension parts to wear out, even if you're running the best high-quality Moog parts. Lower ball joints virtually never wear out because they're not carrying the same kind of load as the top. Tie-rod ends vary in lifespan depending on how you drive. If you do a lot of city driving, tie-rod ends wear quickly, as do idler and Pitman arms.
So we're taking this opportunity to focus on the steering linkage. Classic '65-'70 Mustang steering linkages differ depending on power or manual steering and the model year. Although linkages in '65-'66 Mustangs are similar to '67-'70 Mustangs, they're different because the later Mustang has a wider track. That's what makes '67-'70 Mustangs feel different when you drive them. The '65-'66 Mustang is closely tied to its Falcon roots with the same basic shock tower stampings and steering linkage.
First-generation '65-'66 Mustangs with manual steering have a solid centerlink (also called a drag link) from inner tie-rod end to inner tie-rod end. Inner and outer tie-rod ends are identical on both sides. With power steering, you have a different centerlink that is also an integral part of the power steering control valve. That means the control valve and centerlink are the same. Inner and outer tie-rod ends are different on power steering cars to clear the control valve.
Another consideration is six-cylinder versus V-8. Sixes have a different centerlink and Pitman arm than V-8 models because the centerlink takes a dip beneath the V-8 oil pan. The six-cylinder centerlink is straight. Try to use a six-cylinder centerlink on a V-8 Mustang and you can expect frustration and impossible fit.
For '67-'70, Ford simplified the Mustang steering linkage with the same inner and outer tie-rod ends for both manual and power steering. However, the centerlink for manual steering is different from one for power steering. Unlike '65-'66, the power steering centerlink screws into the control valve, where it is pinned for security.

Meth dealer's comic books sell for more than $100,000
Last year, we told you about accused meth dealer Aaron Castro, who allegedly used drug money to buy more than 18,000 comic books, thus making him the nerdiest meth kingpin ever. The plan, authorities have said, was to open a comic book store to launder drug money, but one accomplice told detectives Castro bought so many comic books that he was having cash-flow problems.
After state prosecutors in Adams County charged Castro, federal prosecutors came in seeking to seize the proceeds of his drug business — including all his comic books. Once they accomplished that, they vowed to auction off the collection.
That auction has now been completed, and the result was a humdinger, says Colorado U.S. Attorney's spokesman Jeff Dorschner. How much?
Dorschner said the comic books, which were auctioned off through a U.S. Marshals Service website, brought in 108 bids. The money will go into either a special asset-forfeiture account, where it will be used for future forfeiture actions, or to law enforcement agencies that helped in the Castro case, Dorschner said.
Castro, meanwhile, can only look on from afar as his pride and joy goes to a new home. In November, Castro was sentenced to 45 years in prison. According to the Colorado Department of Corrections inmate locator, Castro is eligible for parole in 2031.

Among other things, the ASP.NET MVC Framework pushes an extremely thin and passive view and subsequently a neat separation between HTML templates and code that produces the actual response for the user.
After a few years of extensive use of server controls, you may feel baffled and confused when looking at the typical source code of an ASPX page in an ASP.NET MVC Framework project.
Have you ever seen it? At first, it doesn't really look different from old-fashioned Active Server Pages. It is a mix of plain HTML tags and ASP-style <% ... %> code blocks.
Code blocks may look like below and are saved in a standard ASPX file:
<% foreach (var customer in ViewData.Model) { %> <p> [ <%= Html.ActionLink("Change", "Edit", new { id = customer.ID } ) %> ] <%= Html.ActionLink(customer.Name, "Detail", new { id=customer.ID ) %> </p> <% } %>
Any code fragment in each code block is processed as in classic ASP.NET. When the view is processed, a dynamic code-behind class is created that contains a function call that incorporates the code in the code blocks. The output of the function is a piece of markup that combines with any other static markup you may have in the page.
The view is essentially an HTML template with functional and data placeholders. Functional placeholders are code blocks; data placeholders are references to external data injected in the view. The ViewData object is the object that represents this content.
In code blocks, you generate HTML and bind element's attributes to injected data. This process is not as easy and maintainable as you may think at first. For this reason, the Html object exists to offer an easier way to generate HTML tags from some input data. The ActionLink method in the code snippet just generates an <a> tag.
Why should you prefer this code over classic ASP.NET where server controls are everywhere and rule the world? The answer is only one: You want a thinner user interface that is also easier to style.
A thin user interface is a user interface that is obtained from a HTML template plus some data. No code is involved with the processing of the user input and the generation of the view. All the code (and the subsequent logic) is moved to an external class. The view doesn't virtually need testing beyond the obvious verification that it contains properly formatted and expected data.
Having a user interface made of plain HTML makes it also much easier for you to apply styles. With server controls, in fact, you have only a limited control over the generated markup. To style the output of a server control you essentially assign values to a bunch of public properties. Beyond this, you have no control over how the control uses those values to produce markup.
Many developers, for example, would like to have a grid rendered as a table with proper use of tags like TBODY and TFOOT. Not in all versions of ASP.NET, though, the DataGrid control does include (and style) these tags. An approach entirely based on raw HTML is perhaps heavier to write and may reduce productivity in the long run but it for sure enhances the control over output and styles.

Police officers must have the right information available when and where they need it in order to protect the public. Such information can help officers not only solve cases, but also prevent crimes.
But in recent years gathering, assessing, and sharing that intelligence has become increasingly complex. The active chatter of social media networks, powerful geographic profiling techniques, video CCTV footage, and other data-intensive factors reinforce the need for data analysis tools that can sift through the noise and identify reliable intelligence.
But with many police departments facing flat or declining budgets and limited human resources, how can police services manage this wealth of information?
Forward-thinking police forces are using predictive and other analytics tools as a quicker, smarter, and more accurate way to analyze the huge amounts of data that can inform daily operational decisions and enable more effective day-to-day policing. By combining new digital technologies with analytics capabilities, police forces can, for the first time, generate important intelligence insights without the help of large teams of intelligence analysts.
[There are many big data analytics platforms to choose from. We compare them for you. Read 16 Top Big Data Analytics Platforms.]
The concept of intelligence-led policing is not new and many forces already make the most of proven techniques such as hotspot and time series analysis to support investigations. However, only with full industrialisation, automation, and integration of data analytics across operations can forces generate new operational and investigative insights without the need for large teams of intelligence analysts.
Analytics, of course, is only as powerful as the data it utilizes -- "garbage in, garbage out" still applies. Police departments face the additional challenge of consolidating and integrating data -- much of it existing in complex, disparate legacy systems -- as well as leveraging data available through sources such as schools, health authorities, and prisons.
And there is the delicate matter of the need to access enough information to be able to protect citizens while not accessing too much information so that an individual's privacy could be compromised or that citizens feel "Big Brother" is watching and their civil liberties impacted.
Predictive analytics techniques that build on information shared between different police services, courts, prisons, and other organizations can help identify locations where crimes are most likely to occur, helping officers identify offenders and even prevent future criminal activity.
Law enforcement services in the US and overseas are using predictive analytics to conduct investigations more efficiently, deploy the right people where they are needed, examine security threats and behavior patterns, and deliver intelligence to officers when and where they need it. Here are some examples:
Getting the right data at the right time, and presented in a format that officers can use, remains a huge challenge for police forces. New technologies -- though highly beneficial at a tactical and operational level -- will have limited value strategically if police forces do not also consider the impact they must have on the way force resources are organized and deployed.
New analytic technologies will be most effective if used within a force that has structured itself to exploit technological benefits, trained its officers in how to use the technology, and provided appropriate tools for them to access the technology when on the move. A police force that operates effectively and efficiently and understands how best to allocate officers and employees to meet service demands will gain most from technology adoption, while forces that seek to preserve traditional organizational structures and practices will struggle to maximise returns on investments in analytics or any other technology.
Analytics is a crime-fighting tool that law enforcement forces can manage relatively easily, assuming they have centralized, interoperable systems and crime databases in place. But it's a tool that requires constant adjustments. Analytics parameters and results must be continuously reviewed and refreshed so that police interventions can evolve and adapt to pre-empt and prevent criminal activity taking place.
Law enforcement workers can manage analytics relatively easily if they have centralized, interoperable systems and crime databases in place. But the data requires constant adjustments. Parameters and results must be continuously reviewed and refreshed so that police interventions can evolve and adapt.
Analytics above all is part of a new wave of disruptive technologies that help law enforcement agencies combat crime. It has the power to give even modest-sized operations real-time intelligence about their communities, helping better equip police officers in the field. And it promises to help law enforcement leaders develop more effective police services for the future.

Kilpatrick, a juvenile detention center in Malibu, is making a run at a sectional hoops title, thanks to a theatrically plucky coach and an uneasy Bloods-Crips alliance. Where have I heard that one before?
Under the eye of coach Kurt Keller, rival gang members serving time at Kilpatrick have decided to throw alley oops instead of punches (crotch or otherwise).
It's a pretty astonishing story. The kids at Kilpatrick come and go based on their sentences, thus the roster is constantly in flux; the team has 100 percent turnover each year. (Why, it's like a John Calipari-coached team, only without all the vacated games.) The moral of the story: Gang members in juvie will temporarily team up to win a few basketball games and become the subjects of a nice little puff piece.
UPDATE: Kilpatrick won! But then had to forfeit their title because they used a player who had exceeded his eligibility. This seems appropriate. [LA Times] H/t Eric and Jason.

Federal prosecutors in Philadelphia say a man has pleaded guilty to sending threatening mail to New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin.
Prosecutors say 30-year-old Herbert Alex Simpson, of Philadelphia, pleaded guilty to two counts of mailing threatening communications.
Simpson sent Coughlin letters threatening to expose a fictitious sexual tryst with two women.
U.S. & World
Court papers initially filed by prosecutors said the letters demanded the coach pay $20,000 to $30,000, but defense lawyer Nialena Caravasos notes that the charges of extortion were dropped.
She says her client has disabilities that require a mental health exam and that will be taken into account at his sentencing, which is scheduled for Feb. 26.
Simpson faces up to 10 years in prison, a $500,000 fine, 2 years of supervised release, and a $200 special assessment.

Seth MacFarlane's Show "Dads" Stirs Controversy Among Asian-Americans
Seth MacFarlane's humor has offended someone? You don't say!
After the success of his live-action film "Ted", "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane has been working towards a new live-action television series for Fox called "Dads", centering around two video game developers, Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi, whose dads move in with them, played by Martin Mull and Peter Reigert. Previewed last month, "Dads" received poor reviews from the Television Critics Association, but also a letter of protest from the Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA), urging Fox to reshoot racially insensitive scenes before the official premiere next month.
MANAA's biggest issues with MacFarlane's new series come from racial comments made by several characters, and how Green and Ribisi's characters treat their Asain assistant. In "Dads", one of the fathers refers to Asians as "Orientals" and makes the comment, "There's a reason 'Shanghai' is a verb." Green and Ribisi's characters are planning to meet with a Chinese businessman and ask their assistant, played by Brenda Song, to dress in a provocative outfit from the anime "Sailor Moon" and giggle demurely, which MANAA cited as a Japanese stereotype. MANAA also stated they weren't surprised by the racial comments in the series after co-creator Alec Sulkin tweeted after the Japanese Tsumani,
"If you wanna feel better about this earthquake in Japan, Google 'Pearl Harbor death toll'."
Sulkin later apologized and removed the offending tweet. MANAA founding president Guy Aoki reported that racism towards Asians isn't exclusive to MacFarlane's new show or the network Fox, referring to the CBS comedy "Two Broke Girls" where the Asian character is repeatedly the brunt of the jokes. Aoki claims that while the television industry is terrified of offending the African-American community, they seem to have no problems offending Asian Americans, which is why he created MANAA. MANAA is currently awaiting a response from Fox about the requested changes, to which Fox has said they are considering.

The World's best-selling underfloor heating
Why floor heating?
Energy Efficient & Low Running Costs
Since underfloor heating uses a lower temperature than standard radiators or baseboards, heating costs are reduced. Because the heat source is spread throughout the floor, it is more evenly distributed and provides significantly higher levels of comfort. Warmup systems have a low upfront installation cost and zero maintenance requirements. Why heat the entire house when everyone is in the kitchen? With a smart Warmup design, you can lower your furnace thermostat by as much as 3°F to 5°F degrees.
Comfort & Warm Floors
Warmup heats the whole room, from the floor up. This gives you the luxurious comfort of warm floors, and the benefit of an invisible, inaudible and maintenance-free heating system. Because Warmup systems can be zoned room by room, everyone in the house can set their own levels of comfort, from the basement to the bedroom.
Tailored Temperature Control
More than 2 years ago, we designed our own thermostat: the 4iE Smart WiFi Thermostat. Now part of a complete range of proprietary controls, the 4iE is the only device specifically made to run and monitor electric floor heating systems. It is 10 times more accurate than its peers and has been designed to fit in the 21st century home. Check out the 4iE Smart WiFi Thermostat for heated floors, towel warmers and much more!
Design Freedom
There are no heat vents, no ducts, no pipes, no mechanical room. Our systems give you complete freedom of design when remodeling and building your home. By zoning the Warmup systems in various parts of the house, you can select specific and accurate levels of comfort where and when you need it.
Reduced Dust Circulation and Increased Safety
The radiant heat produced by the system reduces humidity and air circulation, meaning that there are fewer dust mites and allergens in the indoor air. There are also no hot low-level surfaces or hard metal edges, as with radiators, making the system child-friendly.
Why Warmup?
Best ProductsWe have the toughest, dual-fluoropolymer, thinnest (1/8″ or 1.8mm diameter) heating wire on the market. Our underfloor heating systems come fully designed and supplied with a full set of high-quality components.
Best WarrantiesAll our products are offered with industry-leading warranties. Additionally, we offer a SafetyNet™ Installation Guarantee on our heating wire.
Best Research & DevelopmentWe have a multi-million dollar EN442-2 Research & Development Centre in Germany, test facilities and monitored post occupancy houses across Europe. Warmup is also installed in the BRE Renewable House.
Best Services
We are the only company to offer a technical helpline for all of our clients in over 50 countries. We are available around the clock, 365 days a year to assist with the design and installation of your project.
Best Accreditations
We are the only underfloor heating company whose products are European compliant, CE marked and accredited by independent 3rd party institutions including cULus, CSA and ETL. In addition, we are members of NKBA, EFC, NEMRA and NTCA.

British Go Journal No. 54. October 1981. Page 8.
Matthew Macfadyen
It may not be considered proper for a go journal to devote space to so demeaning a use of the board as five-in-a-row but the Ishi Press have seen fit to devote their latest book to it. In some ways it's a bit like learning go again, a new Japanese vocabulary, new tesujis - certainly the Ishi Press seem to have recaptured some of the turgidity of some of their earlier volumes on go. (The translator is not acknowledged.)
Despite having its rules carefully tuned to remove the first player's advantage, Renju is not nearly such a deep and meaningful game as go, but precisely because of that it is possible to become quite good quite quickly. I would prefer not to take the game as seriously as the authors obviously do, but their claim that the game is too deep ever to be analysed by computer seems well worth chasing up. Anyone with a go board looking for some light relief will find plenty of material in this relatively slim volume to keep him amused for a while.

Former mayoral candidate wonders if Obama will discuss ETs while in Denver
Former Denver mayoral candidate Jeff Peckman, who made a name for himself pushing an initiative to form an extraterrestrial commission, is hoping President Obama will "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race" while he is in Denver.
Peckman, known as the UFO guy during this spring's campaign, received 803 votes in the May election. He said he wants the White House to "immediately release into the public domain all files from all agencies and military services relevant to this phenomenon."
Peckman says 11,000 people have signed the "We The People" online petition on the White House's website, urging Obama "to disclose this long-held government secret."
A White House spokesman reached Monday did not have a comment.
This should come as no surprise but fervent speculation is that Obama likely will not address this issue during his stay here through Wednesday.
Peckman has written an online article on the issue that can be accessed here.

Digital asset management workflows
Get your assets to market sooner by easily creating workflows for planning, designing, reviewing, approving and publishing.
Too many digital assets disappear in the depths of repositories — never to be used again. But with the right digital asset management, you'll be able to quickly find and edit the assets you need, confirm that you have the right versions and share them across your teams and channels with ease.
The demand for new and personalised content is growing every day. If your digital assets are stashed away in separate silos with no way to quickly find, manage or govern them, it will be impossible to keep up. And your assets will languish away in storage — forgotten and unused.
That's why you need a solution that takes digital asset management to a whole new level. One that's more than just a place to store your assets, but a place to edit and share them too — complete with built-in Creative Cloud connectivity. We're talking a global content platform where you can manage all asset versions, rights and permissions. Deliver them with speed and impact. And understand how they're working.
When you have all this in a single enterprise solution, you have the tools to not only keep up with your customers' insatiable appetites for content, but you know what satisfies them too.
Adobe Experience Manager Assets is the only enterprise DAM that lets you find, edit, manage and deliver assets in a single solution. Now you can create and share collections. Access your DAM from within your Adobe Creative Cloud apps. And track who is using each asset, whether you have the most current version and if your licensing is current. With deep and proven expertise across the entire content creation journey, we can help you to get your assets to market sooner. And see a greater ROI.
"We can manage more than 500,000 global assets centrally with Experience Manager, so we decided to integrate the CMS and DAM functions."
Tsuyoshi Tanaka, Manager, Office of Communication Technology, Digital Marketing Centre, Kao Corporation Morningstar

$2,300. It's a price you wouldn't be surprised to pay for a one-bedroom apartment in New York City. But to see those kind of prices in North Dakota? There must be something in the water. More like, under the water.
Because of new drilling technologies, North Dakota has quickly become the second largest oil producing state in the country, passing Alaska earlier this month. And right in the heart of the oil boom sits Williston, North Dakota, in the center of the Bakken Shale Formation, a massive oil reserve. Because of the oil boom, the city has seen its average wages increase from $32,000 in 2006 to about $80,000 today; unemployment drop to around one percent; and monthly rent for a one bedroom skyrocket to $2,300, according to the Associated Press.
How does that compare to other big cities? A report from Apartments.com averages out monthly rent for listings on their website last month. Topping the list was Boston at $1,814, followed by New York at $1,789, Washington, D.C. at $1,696, and San Francisco at $1,653.
But according to the listings for Williston on Craigslist, there are deals to be found. A 36-foot trailer: $1,000 (but only if you're tired of "MAN CAMP HOUSING"). A 320-square-foot, soon to be built apartment, in a building that looks like a dense apartment building in Tokyo: $1,000. And if you don't mind a bit of a commute into the city, a 400-square-foot one bedroom apartment 60 miles from Williston will only run you about $850 a month.
But the boom hasn't been a pot-of-gold for everyone, AP reports:
"Rent is a huge problem, especially for senior citizens on fixed incomes, Koeser said.
Oil-related traffic is causing headaches and torn-up roads, he said.
"It's hard to imagine anywhere else in the country that deals with so many trucks," Koeser said.
Wayne Biberdorf, who was appointed in March by Gov. Jack Dalrymple as North Dakota's new "energy impact coordinator," said he's been meeting with local officials throughout the state's oil patch listening to concerns and reporting them to the governor."What I learned was not unexpected," Biberdorf said. "There is a lot of stress in western North Dakota."
It probably doesn't help knowing that oil is a finite resource.

The Mouse That Wants to Roar
But when the results are announced and someone like Mary Robinette Kowal wins over a Scott Lynch or Joe Abercrombie, after their initial "who the hell is she," the almost immediate reaction is a "Well, I knew these awards aren't for me!" or "The Hugos don't represent my tastes," and so forth. Some time ago, I felt much the same way, until I decided to explore a bit further and see what was out there that wasn't being discussed in the mega-forums of certain epic fantasy authors.
What I found is that SF fandom is quite a bit more diverse than what many might suspect. In fact, it's close to the point of there being no mutual intelligibility between the various factions. If I had to guess, I would say that the vast majority of those complaining at Westeros about the Hugo voting probably didn't raise an eyebrow at seeing Helix in the Semiprozine category, despite a rather vocal uprising a month or so ago about its editor's rather bigoted remarks and subsequent puerile behavior. Just as many are not likely to be aware of the creation of Shadow Unit as are those who are familiar with the rather asinine question of "paying" bloggers. So many groups, each with its own set of foci and satellite concerns, so little time to be aware of what's happening in other circles.
Although I don't have as much time at the moment to devote to SF matters due to the new school year beginning last week at a new school, I do try to stick my head in to get a sense of what is transpiring in many different circles. Some I somehow manage to miss most of the time; others I am kept well-informed. But it is rather amusing at times to see all the various mice in the genre trying to roar for attention, as if they were in virtually self-contained quarters that are sound-proofed against the other various currents active in fandom.

Good call.
You are quite correct that SF contains a multitude of different tribes and you are also correct that SF awards are one of the few things that bring them all together and therefore into conflict.
The one that fascinates me is the Best Fan Writer Hugo because looking down the long list of nominees, I hardly know any of them. But, upon googling, I find that a lot of them either edit fanzines or frequently write for them.
So clearly the "Best Fan Writer" is responding to a certain demographic, even if it one that I am not in and am largely ignorant of.
I alway found it strange how so many people consider the fact that 'they wouldn't choose this' as a proof some (all?) awards are meaningless (I'm sorry to say that but you've also been guilty of this). It's like assuming the people who voted are less smart/ sophisticated/ have poorer taste then them. One may not like others choices but that doesn't mean they are bad ones. It irritates me so much I even wrote about it :P.
I'm especially baffled by people who complain that Hugo and Nebula winners are too sf. These have been created as sf awards and it's hardly surprising they still have the sf bias. If one is more into fantasy there's always World Fantasy Award (although I have problem with the 'World' part of the name).

So, my wife frequents some Disney related message boards, the Disboards, and whenever there is some new special promotion for discounted room rates or some great deal on dining, the members of the board get into a tizzy because they're afraid that people from the disboards will flood the call centers of Disney World and somehow make things worse off for them.
Totally ignoring the fact that no matter how big the Disboards are in the online Disney community, the Disboards are really only a fraction of all people who actually go to Disney World.
Then think about the Hugos. For the novel there were only 745 total ballots counted. Less for the other categories. Only 365 ballots for the Campbell.
That's not a lot of people. Bitch if people want to, but another 10-15 ballots in the pool and Scott Lynch may have won the Campbell, or if those 24 people who thought that nobody was good enough to win, voted for someone else, the final ballot could have changed.
Shoot, the vocal population of Westeros could have ponied up for a voting membership of Worldcon and swung the whole damn thing towards Lynch. Not so much Durham, because good as he is, he didn't get much voting support.
This isn't to say that the winners aren't worthy, but rather that in this democratic award, there isn't a huge voting public and if people don't think the Hugos represent them, for a fee they can vote and quite possibly swing the whole thing.
Scalzi only lost Best novel by 9 votes in the end, after all.
The thing that gets me about the whole thing, though, is the assumption that folks are voting AGAINST fantasy writers rather than voting FOR someone they might actually like. Some people (myself included) might actually like Mary Kowal's work and given that only 365 even bothered to vote for the Campbell, yeah I can see that there are enough people who like her work and thought she should be recognized.
As for the crack (from Westeros)on Kowal having no other nominated fiction. When Elizabeth Bear won the Campbell she had published three science fiction novels (in short succession) but her Hugo nomination came from the fact she was published in Asimov's (and wrote a pretty good story)...and Bear never did get nominated UNTIL she was published in Asimov's...probably because the short fiction voters READ Asimov's and F&SF but not so much the other online mags or vote for those stories outside the Big Two (forgetting Analog). If Mary Kowal is published in Asimov's then she too may pick up a Hugo nomination, but it isn't because her previous fiction wasn't good.

Pardon...that comment was way too long.

My own opinions change and evolve over time, so while I used to be more of the "meaningless" crowd, further thought and discussion with others has convinced me to be a bit more patient and pro-active. While I highly doubt I'll ever be active in "fandom" in the sense of WSFS, I'm no longer that haughty hotshot who thinks he's automatically better; different is neither better/worse, just merely that, different.
Yeah, I noticed that about the Fan Writer candidates. The more active I am with this blog and activities, the more I've heard of them, albeit it in passing. That being said, I believe those people serve a different purpose and audience than say this blog or any blog for that matter.
Point taken about how if people want to complain about how others went about choosing their winners that they ought to pitch in the dough and speak up then. I'm taking something else from it, though. Although I've heard of her here and there, I never really sat down and read any of Kowal's works. That's going to change in the near future, once I have a rhythm established at school to where I can resume regular reading!
- Jonathan M said...
Yeah, the fanzine people are kind of their own scene. A lot of them also put their work online (File 770 is freely downloadable) but some of them don't even have a website (Banana Wings).
Given this fact, I suspect that a bridge could be quite happily built between the two communities but it is a nice reminder that there are people out there in "fandom" who have very different frames of reference to us.
What would fandom be without this lovely arguments? Very boring, at least. When you can't accept that (gasp!) people have different tastes, it's always some sort of conspiracy.

When I started reading sf seriously about 20 years ago - before I read lots of sf but it was not the dominant genre for me - I checked out all the sources available for finding or discussing books, including awards like Hugo, bookstore newsletters, sf encyclopedias, the sf magazines I could find easily - there was no Internet, Amazon and such then - and for me the ultimate criterion of awards, blogs, review sites forums became usefulness.
From this point of view pretty much all major awards have a very, very low usefulness, while for forums/blogs/sites, there are 4 or 5 I check and participate in regularly though I am open to try and find new interesting sites always
So I am happy that a vast diversity of views exist and I think of that as an unalloyed huge positive compared to what came before - though of course I see some downsides too, but considering the efforts I used to go to to even find about books, forget about begging my local bookseller to import the latest IM Banks from the UK at a reasonable price 15 years or so ago, I would not return to the "good old days" that some bemoan under any circumstances
- Gabriele Campbell said...
My initial reaction was surprise that someone had won the Campbell Award whom I had never heard about, while I have read the books of the other nominees (I heard about them on blogs, Westeros etc). I thought it was a bit well, strange.
When I learned Koval writes short fiction I realised it was my reading habits (I should read more short fiction, but it's expensive to subscribe to Asimov if you live in Germany) and not the voters that made for a result I could not, at first, understand.
Btw, are you going to analyse the age poll on your sidebar? It looks quite interesting right now.
And I've awarded you a fun little blog award - they're the flipside of the memes and you can spread them as well. :)
- Joe said...
Gabriele: Perhaps give some online zines a shot (no links here, but an easy google away):
Subterranean Online
Apex Digest
Strange Horizons
Lone Star Stories
Fantasy Magazine
(one of Kowal's stories is available in Clarkesworld, another on Apex, a third at Strange Horizons)
Likewise, if you want to pay for your short fiction, go to Baen's Universe.
There's a good deal of great fiction online, much of it available for free.
- Liviu said...
With apologies for going a bit of thread but all the 3 - and Interzone for that matter - dinosaur sff magazines Analog, Asimov, FSF - are available cheaply as multi-format, unencrypted e-issues at Fictionwise, both as single issue and as annual subscriptions.
The single issues are made available for a several months (6 I think, not 100% sure though) window and of course once you buy them or the corresponding subscription, they are available to download forever - I mean as long as Fictionwise is in business - and being unencrypted there is no issue about reading them on any pc, device,... you may care
This is how I got some Interzone issues of interest to me for example, as well as some Asimov's too. And with the Euro/$ rate the way it is, you should get a very good price from Europe...
Some are available in databases that libraries bundle, so for example my library system has FSF available from my home pc with my library card, while for Analog I have to go to read it there on a library computer - so check with whatever library system you have access see what databases they have and if they include those magazines of interest
- Gabriele Campbell said...
Joe and Liviu, thank you for the suggestions. I admit, since I don't like to read on screen (I spend too much time on the computer already) I've not yet delved into the whole e-book technology and the respective sites. I'll give them a look, and maybe I can print out stories for easier reading.
I have a bunch of old print magazines from the 80ies I got from a friend, and somehow I still connect short fiction with those. ;)
The decline of awards has nothing to do with voting (or the preferences or age of voters). People have same problems (not representing their tastes) with general polls – look how SFX list was treated.
Before internet all people had as guideline, when looking for an interesting book, were awards. It meant some well read people thought it was a good book. Now they just go online.
It's just that times have changed and people now have other options. Look at the raise of importance of blog reviewers.
- Lsrry said...
Not much time to answer here (if I hadn't crashed soon after school, I wouldn't even be awake at this time and I'm going to try and nap afterward), but I'll make a few observations:
Yes, I do plan on writing something this weekend. I suspected my blog had a slightly older readership than some of the usual suspects, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the median age seems to be around 30-35 (I'm 34, so it's nice that half my audience is younger and half older). I thought it'd be more of the 18-30 groups, on the order of 60-70%.
As many here have observed, "fandom" is a very fragmented entity (entities?) and perhaps much of the issue is this notion of a "unified" "fan" vote for books that doesn't seem to jibe with the current situation. I'm reminded at times of dynastic struggles in the sense that there are factions who seem to see themselves as being THE faction and are sometimes barely aware of the other factions, yet each wants to assume (to some degree or fashion) the mantle of representing what "fandom" is. If this weren't the case, then the usual bitching about epic fantasies being left out (it being one of the "newer" parts of SF/F literature, with an effective subgenre history of only 30 years or so) wouldn't be heard so often from certain quarters...
More later in the week, perhaps. I'm off to bed, perhaps to dream about my lesson in the morning about what constitutes US history.

I would like to create a script that will pass the name and address of the currently selected record in the address book to Word to start a letter to that person.
Is something like this possible?
I am happy to do it via an intermediate app so that all that would be needed would be the name and address, the intermediate app will turn it into a format that Word can deal with.
Many thanks :-)

Emburrie Rebel
Emburrie Rebel is a new company helping UK businesses market themselves on-line. We primarily help local businesses do on-line marketing. That includes search engine optimization, pay-per-click, email marketing and video marketing. We help businesses across the UK. Where we are based does not affect that. We also get asked to help people nationally.
Emburrie is the old name for the beautiful Scottish city of Edinburgh, one of the most widely admired cities in the UK (see Google Images for pictures). We aren't based there yet but we intend to be. I hid the name Edinburgh by using the old name so other parts of the UK wouldn't feel too left out!
Rebel comes from my tendency to know the rules of things in order to get round them! My ability to be both well informed and think outside the box to benefit my clients.
I'm very knowledgeable in my field. I'm intelligence and great at analysis. And I'm very good using that background to get round the rules and get the best results for my clients.
Words I'd associate with the brand are: dependable, honest, faithful, reputable, clever, sharp, quick, on-the-ball, analytical, informal, reasonable, logical and on-the-side-of-the-client.
My target audience is always other businesses. Typically they are local businesses, usually with high value clients like plummers, builders and other house-maintenance people, lawyers, Estate Agents (who sell houses), others selling business to business.
Though their target market may well be locally based I also help people looking for customers from across the United Kingdom.
I'm looking for a smart company logo, that encourages further questions and conversation, without sticking out like a sore thumb. It needs to say quality and have a certain class to it. Don't over emphasize the "Rebel" part let them read it and then let it dawn on them what they have read.
The logo must look good against a white background.
The company is headed and fronted by a woman in a male-dominated industry so the logo must not look overly masculine or feminine.
I'll the need the logo in a format for both the web & print.
