Confessions of a Bird of the Year campaign manager
Last November I posted about that great New Zealand institution (yes, I reckon I can call it that now) the annual Bird of the Year poll.
For the following 12 months I harboured a secret longing to become a Bird of the Year campaign manager for one particular candidate – the brown skua. Like most New Zealanders I love an underdog, and anyway brown skuas are cool. Did you know they often live in family units with a female head of nest-hold who takes two or more mates?
As November 2014 approached, I emailed the Bird of the Year folks and begged to be a campaign manager. I was sure I was early enough to stake my claim to the brown skua, but NO! Who'd got in first? Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei – whose winning 2013 campaign for the mōhua propelled that bird to superstardom!
Okay – next choice. It was suggested to me that a similarly reviled underdog was the black-backed gull. You know – the one that would eat your leftover fish and chips plus a passing duckling all in one gulp?
I was sold!
I decided to plan a negative campaign. I mean, really, why would you vote for these pests? Black-backed gulls are 'super-abundant'. They're the only native birds – apart from the self-introduced spur-winged plover – that are NOT protected under the Wildlife Act, and for good reason. Aided and abetted by humans, black-backed gull populations have exploded over the last century or so.
I decided my campaign would encourage people not to vote for the black-backed gull, but instead for some of the rarer native birds that it displaces or attacks. To that end, I invented a gull character – Captain Cack the Black-back – from whom all campaigning would ostensibly come.
Next I invited one of my favourite local illustrators – Gavin Mouldey – to join in as co-manager, which he happily did. (He lives in Wellington's Island Bay and beach life is a major theme in his work.)
Captain Cack's initial campaign blurb was deemed 'too controversial' to go onto the main Seabird of the Year site – although you can see parts of it regurgitated (because that's what birds do) on the campaign blog and more will be added soon.
Cack also, appropriately, has a Twitter account – which I have to be careful not to post from over-zealously! Today in Cack's Twitter feed was a lovely announcement about buff weka chicks hatching, along with a photo of the adorable little things.
In my head I heard Cack say, 'Yum!' and before I knew it, that was what I/Cack had tweeted in reply.
It was several minutes before I realised that no matter how much in the spirit of humour my tweet was, it could seriously offend the people who posted the chick photo. So I deleted it.
(Actually I was travelling on the Wairarapa train at the time, and just as I thought to delete the tweet, the train went into the second-longest tunnel in New Zealand, and I had to wait many excruciating minutes until I had cellphone coverage again – all the while desperately hoping no one would be offended in the meantime.)
So that was day two of the campaign. There are three weeks in all for us campaign managers to get our messages across and for YOU to vote – you have until 24 November.
But whatever you do – don't back the black-backs!

Digging Up the Past | Arrow "Honor Thy Fathers" Review
It's time to reveal some daddy issues on the latest Arrow episode. When a suspicious package shows up at the mayor's office, it's clear that Prometheus is ready to get to the end game here. Plus, Thea returns, and Rene gets a court date to gain custody of his daughter.
When Oliver hears that the package is from Simon Morrison, aka Adrian Chase's birth name, he knows that it isn't a bomb but something more sinister. When he opens the case, a body was inside. The body leads back to Oliver's father, Robert Queen. Chase sent a flash drive through his father's old attorney for Oliver. It had video footage of Robert accidentally pushing the guy into a vat of concrete. Chase is trying to unearth truths about Oliver's father in order to punish him. But, Oliver is still working to get a step ahead of Chase this time.
Now that every criminal that Chase has put away has been released, Cody Rhodes reprises his role as Derek Sampson, the man who can feel no pain. Sampson is working with Chase to carry out his father's mission. Before the hood got to him, Justin Claybourne was trying to weaponize tuberculosis. It looks like Chase is trying to do just that, or even worse; Chase is trying to release a disease with no cure. Thankfully, the Arrow team is here to save the day.
Oliver and Chase end up in a battle. It would make more sense for Oliver to get a little bit of help, but what fun would that be? Oliver finally got the upper hand this time. The lawyer didn't just give Oliver a flash drive. Oliver tells Chase about how Justin Claybourne was going to disown him. Chase's father knew that he was sick and was ashamed of him. Oliver knew that his father wasn't perfect, but he always knew his father's love. Robert Queen never would have given up on his children. And to that, Chase knows that he has been defeated. He lays down his sword and gives Oliver the chance to kill him, but Oliver takes the moral high ground and gets him to an Argus facility where he can face justice.
Rene has been spending more time with Quentin Lance in the mayor's office and less time with Team Arrow as Wild Dog. Rene wants to be with his daughter again, but he's afraid that he's not what's best for Zoe right now. When Rene gets a court date, he asks for Quentin to be there for moral support. He seems excited until he realizes that this court date is a hearing. Rene is going to have to testify, which means that his daughter is going to have a relive all of the tragedy that led them to this point. Quentin reminds Rene that he can't abandon his daughter; Rene has a chance to decide how she remembers her father. He can make new memories with his daughter. Despite Quentin's pep talk, Rene doesn't show up.
Thea has returned, but she isn't fully back. Oliver even invites her along on some Team Arrow business, but she isn't ready for that right now. She's happy just to see her family again. Oliver is changing his ways with those he loves. He kept a video their father made to Thea from his sister because he didn't want her to feel burdened by it. After everything that Chase uncovered, Thea needed to see her father in this light once more. Robert Queen tells Thea that he's proud of her and always has been. He knew that she would grow up to be a remarkable young woman. He then tells Thea that she's stronger than her brother, and he's going to need her more than she needs him. I'm glad Oliver showed Thea the video; she's definitely strong enough to handle this now.
While it was only indirectly related to the story, the flashback this week gave us a glimpse into how Oliver got off Lian Yu. With the fifth season coming to a close, will Arrow continue the flashbacks in each episode? In any case, Oliver and Anatoly get to the island. Oliver tells him how him being a castaway will be much easier on his family. This way, they won't ask why he didn't return home sooner. Anatoly hooks Oliver up with some disguises, since in five years, Oliver wouldn't have been able to get to a barber shop. Anatoly is going to send the ship to find Oliver on the island in 48 hours. Of course, it can't be that easy. It looks like Oliver isn't alone on the island, when a tranq dart hits him square in the neck and out of the jungle walks Konstantin Kovar.

Astronomers continue working full steam toward the day when they can hunt for Earth-size planets around other stars. The Terrestrial Planet Finder (set to launch in 2010), the Space Interferometry Mission (planned for 2009), the Kepler mission (2007), and the French National Space Agency's COROT (late 2005) will each have the technology to detect Earth analogs around distant suns. But not all Earth-size planets will be terrestrial, says Marc J. Kuchner (Princeton University). Some may be waterworlds — bodies composed largely of volatiles such as ammonia, methane, and as the name implies, water.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are mostly rock and iron rather than water because they formed inside the "snow line" of the early solar system. The snow line is the distance from a newborn star where water in a protoplanetary disk will condense into solid particles rather that being blown away as vapor. Planets and moons that form beyond the snow line are rich in volatiles. This is why most of the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are ice worlds. Jupiter's moon Ganymede, for instance, is 40 percent ice or water.
If a body like Ganymede were to migrate inward and settle into an Earthlike orbit, what would happen? It's a reasonable question; inward migration is thought be common in protoplanetary disks. The body would melt, become a giant water ball, and develop a thick atmosphere — and it could survive in this state for the lifetime of the solar system, reported Kuchner at this week's meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division of Planetary Sciences.
According to Kuchner's calculations, a waterworld with as little as a tenth the mass of Earth could survive as close as 0.3 Earth-Sun distances from a solar-type star. That's a little closer than Mercury is to the Sun. Any such planet would grow hot and form a thick steam atmosphere by a runaway greenhouse effect. But it would not "boil away," even early in a planetary system's lifetime when atmosphere-eroding ultraviolet radiation is strongest.
Impacts, however, add uncertainty to the picture. After planets form in a protoplanetary disk, they find themselves amid a sea of rubbly leftovers. These objects caused many more impacts during the solar system's first billion years than we experience now. Astronomers call this "the age of heavy bombardment." The level of bombardment that cratered the early Moon and Mars, Kuchner finds, would not threaten a waterworld. But a much larger impact might. The Moon itself was blasted out of the proto-Earth by a world-shattering impact. Similar overwhelming impacts may have spun up Mars and depleted Mercury of its low-density material. A waterworld would have to avoid such an event, or it would end up as just a dry, rocky core.
But in any case, says Kuchner, planet hunters should remember that "a small planet is not necessarily a terrestrial planet." His study will appear in the October 10th Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Prevent Duty
Preventing Radicalisation in school
Building resilience in our young people and the promotion of fundamental British values is at the heart of preventing radicalisation. We do this by providing a safe place in which children can discuss issues, and we aim to give them the knowledge and confidence to challenge extremist beliefs and ideologies. Our new prevent duty, is carried out under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, which legally requires us to take steps to prevent pupils from being drawn into terrorism. We take this duty seriously and carry out the four main actions responsibly, namely: risk assessment, working in partnership, staff training and IT policies. If we assess a child as at risk, we will refer to the Channel Programme, which focuses on providing support at an early stage to people who are identified as being vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism.
In terms of training, staff have received training to familiarise them with the Prevent Duty and our DSL are undertaking WRAP training. (Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent). In terms of internet safety, we ensure suitable filters are in place to keep children away from extremist materials, in keeping with Suffolk guidelines. We recognise that we play a vital role in keeping children safe from harm, including from the risks of extremism and radicalisation, and in promoting the welfare of children in our care.
What we do if there is a concern
If we have a concern about a particular pupil we will follow the school's normal safeguarding procedures, including discussing with the school's designated safeguarding lead, and where deemed necessary, with children's social care. In Prevent priority areas, the local authority will have a Prevent lead who can also provide support. We may also contact the local police force or dial 101 (the non-emergency number). They can talk to us in confidence about concerns and help us gain access to support and advice.
The Department for Education has dedicated a telephone helpline (020 7340 7264) to enable staff and governors to raise concerns relating to extremism directly. Concerns can also be raised by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please note that the helpline is not intended for use in emergency situations, such as a child being at immediate risk of harm or a security incident In an emergency situation we will follow the recommended emergency procedures.

What to Expect on Your First Visit
Note: It is recommended that patients come to their first chiropractic visit wearing comfortable clothes and socks, and to bring any current x-rays, if available. If Dr. Cherok determines x-rays are necessary for your case, we can refer you to a radiology department.
Your first visit typically lasts 60-80 minutes and consists of the following:
Upon your first visit you will complete a Chiropractic Case History form, which will help us get to know you and your health history. The doctor will use this information to create your own customized chiropractic care plan.
Once Dr. Cherok has reviewed your case history form, she will meet with you to discuss your health history and determine if chiropractic care is for you.
Standard physical, orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic tests will be performed to determine the cause(s) of your problem.
If Dr. Cherok determines that your case is appropriate for chiropractic care, she will most likely begin chiropractic treatment that same day.
Future visits
Dr. Cherok will create an individualized chiropractic plan for you, including frequency of visits and duration of treatment, as well as recommendations for subsequent health services and supports. Follow-up visits typically will last about 10-15 minutes.
Fees and financial agreements
We accept all forms of PPO health insurance, including Medicare, and auto accident and work-related claims. As a courtesy, we can file insurance claims if provided with the necessary information. A staff member will call to verify coverage with your insurance company and then discuss payment options with you to the best of our understanding. We strive to complete this process by your second visit.
Patients are responsible for payment of those fees not covered by their insurance; including deductible and co-payment. We realize that some of our patients have little or no insurance coverage; therefore we make every effort to offer flexible financial arrangements.
For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard.

90 Minutes
Discovery is often the most costly part of any dispute. Full-blown discovery in arbitration formerly was considered heresy as on its face it appears to be inconsistent with the very reasons for using arbitration. In recent years, however, more expansive discovery is creeping into arbitration and consequently lengthening the time to final resolution and increasing costs.
So how much discovery is enough and how can it be limited without sacrificing the likelihood of success?
In this 90-minute recorded webinar, an expert panel of attorney/arbitrators provides an insider's perspective on how counsel can limit discovery and better manage costs without sacrificing party expectations.
Areas covered include:
and more.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS PRESENTATION – Arbitrators, advocates, and anyone interested in the arbitration process and its practical application and continued evolution.

THE creator of cigar-chomping comic book and blockbuster film hero Hellboy is coming to Birmingham later this year.
Mike Mignola is the first big name American guest confirmed for the second annual Birmingham International Comic Show (BICS) in October.
The writer has chosen the city's fast growing comic convention for a rare Atlantic crossing.
Event co-organiser Paul Birch said: "Mike Mignola is the first of our very special international guests that we can reveal to the public. We are proud, honoured and also pretty excited ourselves that he will be appearing exclusively in Birmingham."
Mignola, was already an established artist for established characters like Batman, when his own creation Hellboy made its debut in 1993.
The gruff demon with attitude who files down his horns and battles paranormal evil monsters for the American government has proved popular and was turned into a Hollywood blockbuster in 2004.
The follow up, Hellboy 2, is currently being filmed for release next year.
Mignola's appearance is a major boost to the show which hopes to build on its successful debut at the Custard Factory last autumn.
And is a sign that the Birmingham show is on its way to becoming the leading event for British comic fans.
Paul added: "For Mignola to be taking time away from creative endeavours is a rare and precious thing.
"For him to be spending it in Birmingham ensures that England's second city shopkeepers and hotels will be as pleased at the incoming trade due to the number of people who will arrive in Birmingham to see the Hellboy creator."
BICS 2007 is at Millennium Point, Curzon Street, on October 13 and 14. For full details and tickets visit the website www.thecomicsshow.co.uk

Obama's Speech
Not too long ago, I just finished a beer after a long day of work. Feeling exhausted, I glance over the web, but my mind was looking forward to lying down on my soft comfortable bed and passing out.
When I was about to call it a night (around 9pm...i was tired), I get a call to do this last-minute assignment, due the next morning! I had work the next day at 9am, but I still accepted the great opportunity with gratitude. After the call, I go over to the kitchen counter to make coffee. I send two roughs within hours; get a sketch approved and chosen; finished the final; emailed the piece at 7am; had breakfast; and left my apt for work by 8am. Actually, I was so tired, I dozed off standing up in the subway! ha! I had many cups of coffee that day...many.
Unfortunately, the project got cancelled, and didn't get published. They decided to go a different direction. but I really liked the piece and the whole experience, so I will post it here.
The piece is about Obama's speech designed to fit the appropriate audience perfectly, and effortlessly. whether its for 6th grader or senators, he adjusts accordingly.
They went with the second direction of Obama "measuring" the ears of the people.
The director pointed out that there shouldn't be a pencil on a caliper. I look at it, and agree! I was thinking of a compass, cuz of the whole "designing" the speech aspect. That's what happens when you're sleep deprived. Well, I'm glad to have an art director to catch those things. So I made the appropriate changes and got it finished.
thanks for looking

Afghan Leader
After reading an OP-ED article from the Times, I was inspired to illustrate this piece based on it. How can the US maintain stability in Afghan, without increasing US troops? According to Mark Moyar, until the indigenous leaders are capable, have the US commanders lead the Afghan Army.

Union Square
Imagine sitting in Union Square with your friend and being thoroughly entertained by the eclectic people around you.
One saturday, that's what me and my friend did. We sat at the steps and watched and listened to these random "performers". There was a guy preaching what he thought what the bible was about, which was not popular with the crowd. People were blatantly telling him to get off. some were swearing at him, some just laughed, and this woman walked right in front him and yelled at him how his "preaching" is driving her art sales away. Then, this shaman, who looks like Jesus, stood behind him and posed like the holy one (they were not affiliated), and people were cheering, saying Jesus has returned!
What a day, and only in New York!

"I'm a fashion designer choosing to stay in Ohio. Family is important to me but so is keeping up with my crafts. I always love to make but never have enough room to keep and I love to share myself and everything I have with my friends and anyone who will appreciate my small crafts and pieces. I believe art should be meaningful and full of personal poetry, though it may not mean the same from person to person. I graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA focus in Fashion design and sculpture in 2003. I was winner of the Emmanuel Ungaro scholarship in 2002 and winner of the Styles Scotland competition in 2003. My profile name "tornangel012" comes from a combination of things in my life. First there is a Quote that is always dear to my heart, "We are all angels with one wing and we can only reach heaven by embracing each other in love". I deeply believe that we have to love and respect each other to reach happiness whatever that might be. I feel that Daily we are "torn" because there are so many both difficult and simple decisions that we must make even between good and evil. Lastly "012" comes from Korean pager code, I am of korean heritage and electronics are an inseparable part of most people's lives. 012 translates to mean "forever". That is how I came to be "tornangel012"

Community organisations working to make Essex safer shared their projects at the annual Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's conference.
The event, with a theme of Partnerships in Action, gave a platform to charities and other organisations focusing on tackling issues ranging from community safety to fire awareness and youth problems.
They were able to discuss their work with representatives from the emergency services who attended the conference to see where there could be more collaborative working.
Stands set up around the room included those by Firebreak, Southend Churches, Essex Fire Volunteers, Crimestoppers, Special Constabulary, Victim Support, Safer Places, Youth Service and Open Road.
The Wilderness Foundation offers wildness and nature therapy camps for teenagers and young people experiencing difficulties in their lives or with their mental health and wellbeing.
Jo Roberts attended the conference and said: "We feel a really close connection with the police and fire service. The conference was an opportunity for us to learn about current trends and behaviours. As an organisation, we want to be relevant to current trends.
"This even opens up a whole lot of new thinking for us. We are very collaborative, so it means we are building more and more partnerships."

The toxicIty of personal care products as well as of course paints , particle board, emf from cell phones and carpets and pesticides in food and chemicals in water all hinder the brain development of our children . Chemicals are holding back our kids from learning. Please get rid all the toxins and see how much better the focus and learning and behavior is. daliya robson

Let me try to use some of your terminology (please correct me if there are any errors): - A process is an occurrent - It is a realization (or manifestation?) of a function or a program - Because it is an occurrent "it has temporal parts and unfolds itself in multiple phases" So process phase = process state... Return to the program-process: It can be in an activation phase, running phase, suspended phase, terminated phase (vhere it ceases existence)... At the very least, since an occurrent either exists/doesn't exist at a given point in time, a process at least has two states: - Existence - Non-existence Different kinds of processes like life processes and computer processes could have more specialized states? > > For instance > >the process1 = execution of the web browser program; waits-for > >messages from process2 = execution of the web server program. > > Again, you are confusing the device which executes with the process > which is the execution. The device waits. [VK] Let's consider the following scenario: A process can be swapped out of memory and another process can be swapped into memory for execution. In that case the process is still waiting, while the device (because it's executing another process) is not. I would propose that in the above scenario, it's the process which is waiting and not the device? > This does not help, I'm afraid. [VK] Refer to the above attempt to define states of an occurrent. > In fact, precisely because of the confused use of 'state' in so many > quarters, BFO recommends that it not be used at all. But for all that > you could want in this connection see: > http://www.ifomis.uni-saarland.de/bfo/ [VK] So would you be comfortable with the use of "phase" as opposed to "state"? Also, in general one view of a process could be: Process = Participants (Actors) + Actions (Tasks) + Temporal Parts (Phases?) Actions could lead to phase transition, e.g., migration of a process from one device to another. There are two ways then of defining <process-location> 1. The location of (All) participants of the process at a particular point in time 2. The location of a Task of the process at a particular point in time. Obviously you have chosen (1), though (2) is an alternate way of defining <process-location> and probably in the context of a given definition of a process they are equivalent. Note that I have removed references to state/phase from (2). Why would you believe (if you do), that (1) is a more well-founded definition than (2)?

Meet MACLYN's Finest: Kevin McMaster
One to greet the martini, one to maintain and one to say goodbye. When he isn't connecting with MACLYN's clients, Kevin is either cheering for Northwestern football or enjoying a dirty martini—or both, usually. He knows what makes a good team great (it's a matter of communication). He knows how many blue cheese olives belong in a martini (it's three). And he knows the right ingredients for successful client relationships (give him a call; he'll tell you all about it).

Almaraz was a pioneering Chicano artist who produced art for the United Farm Workers Union and cofounded Los Four, one of the earliest Chicano collectives. A later shift to expressionistic painting and graphics brought him national recognition. By the 1980s, his non-narrative images of Los Angeles addressed both his cultural affiliations and sense of isolation with living with AIDS. Night Magic (Blue Jester), inspired by velvet paintings sold on the U.S.-Mexico border, represents urban Los Angeles exploding with sensuous colors and populated by shadows suggestive of Almaraz's lonely alter egos.

Original QSL postcard from the mid to late 1960s.This unused card was sent from CB radio station: KRA-0480. Was issued to Robert Penn, at 1440 Mulberry Lane, Lemoore, California. Card is beige with green text. During the 1920s and 1930s, amateur ham radio operators adopted the practice of two-way exchanging of QSL postcards, to confirm their radio contact, with a report of reception. QSL cards got to be known as wallpaper, commonly used to decorate the walls of their radio equipment room. During the 1960s, CB citizen band radio became popular, and the practice of exchanging QSL cards to confirm radio contacts was enjoyed by many with this new hobby. Today, these cards are very collectible and look great matted and framed.

The 'richest guys on Earth'
I've often been critical of brands and their stereotypical portrayal of lazy dads who don't care about being a good parent. They too often send a message that the majority of us dads would rather not participate in raising our children because it's hard, because it's inconvenient, and because we can easily get our wives or someone else to do the hard stuff.
Times are changing.
I was pleasantly shocked the other day when I saw this video:
My hat goes off to Chevy.
We all have aspirations and goals. We challenge ourselves and work hard to excel and to better ourselves both personally and professionally. But there is a line that most of us choose not to cross. I choose to make time for my family. I choose to get my kids up in the morning and ready for school. The point is, I choose them and I choose to be present.
We all make choices. We make concessions. And our kids see that. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday they will understand that we put them first. Its important to me to be a role model. As stereotypical it may sound, its important to show my children that family is more important than any job or promotion that would take significant time away from us being together. Do we strive to advance our careers and push ourselves to always do better? Do we work hard to better provide for our families? Do we welcome greater responsibility and professional recognition for a job well done? Do we strive for the corner office? Of course we do. But how far do we go? How much will it cost us?
We all have a threshold and its different for everyone. I think Chevy got this one right.
We do want to be equal partners in raising our children. We do want to have a say. We do want others to rely on us. Because we know that we truly are, already, "the richest guys on Earth."
What do you think? Did Chevy get this one right?

In September last year, Bandai has updated the Tamagotchi with a color version, causing dozens of teenage girls to leave comments on CrunchGear for the first time. And now the company is ready to roll out yet another model: The so-called Tamagotchi ID [JP] is named "ID" because it's the first model you can customize to some extent. It's also possible to install content off the mobile web on the device (but probably only in Japan).
The downloadable content can be anything from virtual items, backgrounds to mini games you first get on your (Japanese) cell phone from a special cell phone-only site and then transmit to your Tamagotchi ID via infrared. You can dress up your character, take him out to various places etc. etc. The device itself features a 1.44-inch TFT display with 128×128 resolution.
The Tamagotchi ID goes on sale in Japan on November 23 in six different colors and costs $57. Targeting mainly 7-9 year-old girls, Bandai plans to sell 500,000 units in Japan alone by March 2010.
Sorry, Tamagotchi fans, Bandai hasn't said yet whether it will ever sell the ID outside Japan as well.

Appreciating Depreciation
Buying the right car, at the right age, can literally save you thousands.
The rate of deprecation varies between models. Influencing factors include supply and demand, desirability, and political trends. Generally, inexpensive small cars depreciate gently – whereas executive cars with unfashionable badges plummet.
So, how can motorists benefit from depreciation? The trick is to buy vehicles that have depreciated heavily, but are fairly new. For example, in 2004 a new Ford Mondeo 2.0-litre LX cost £15,600. It is now worth £4,000. Although depreciation in the first four years was £11,600, the vehicle is only likely to drop by a further £2,500 in the next four.
So, to sum up. Vehicles depreciate quickest during the first three years, some losing tens of thousands of pounds. Buying at the 'optimum age' minimises losses and ensures your transport is reasonably modern.

I now have both Portal and Half-Life 2 due to the generosity of colleagues, Toktic and Artaxs. Artaxs gave me Half-Life 2 on Monday, explaining that I was the only one of his friends on Steam who did not already own the game. He had just bought the Orange Box and he had a spare Steam gift to give. Upon my return to the office on Tuesday, I discovered a Hallowe'en/Christmas gift on my desk from Toktic — a bit of cash to purchase Portal. Hurrah! Thank you both!
I have both games installed on my computer now. I took each for a short spin, just to make sure the settings were all right. It's been difficult to avoid Portal spoilers. Not only has it been difficult, it has been annoying. Soon I will discover what everyone is talking about. I'm planning on finishing Portal before November, though Half-Life 2 will have to wait till later for more intense gaming.

B-1B Lancer bombers assigned to the 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron from Dyess AFB, Texas conducted a "sequenced bilateral mission" with South Korean F-15 and Japanese F-2 fighter jets this weekend, in response to "increasingly escalatory actions" by North Korea (most recently on July 3 when they launched an ICBM test).
The USAF called it, "part of the continuing demonstration of the ironclad U.S. commitment to our allies against the growing threat from North Korea's ballistic missile and nuclear programs."
The B-1s took off from Andersen AFB, Guam, for the 10 hour mission to practice attack capabilities and drop inert weapons in a precision strike training exercise at the Pilsung Range, near the Korean Demilitarized Zone.
They also flew a bilateral mission with two Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15's over the East China Sea on July 6, marking the first time U.S. Pacific Command B-1s have flown combined training with JASDF fighters at night.
"Bilateral training fosters increased interoperability between Japan and U.S. aircraft," said the USAF. "Participating in bilateral training enables the operational units to improve their combined capabilities and tactical skills, while also building bilateral confidence and strong working relationships."
Check out some of the images from their weekend below.

The Death Of Brick & Mortar Retail, The Acceleration Of Online Retail
This isn't a new trend, just one that has been accelerating and Amazon is a big reason why. Brick and mortar retail began dying years ago as bookstores and video stores went under. With Amazon offering a wider array of products, extremely competitive pricing, and free next day shipping on many items, the squeeze is on for all brick and mortar retail. One of the most high profile bankruptcies recently was in Radio Shack which has actually declared bankruptcy twice now. Best Buy is still hanging in there, but revenues have stagnated for a few years now. Clothing stores are declaring bankruptcies left and right and former mall anchor stores Sears and Macy's continue to shutter the doors in many cities. You have to wonder if malls will even exist in 5-10 years. As high speed internet proliferates across the globe and more people get comfortable purchasing online, internet retailers will increasingly see the benefit of this shift. Companies like Walmart see the writing on the wall and are buying up online retailers such as Jet.com as fast as they can. The top internet retailers with the best reputation will of course continue to reap the benefits of this trend, but don't forget the companies that deliver all those packages (UPS and FedEx) and process all those payments (Visa, Amex, Mastercard, Paypal, Square, Apple). In my mind the most interesting investment opportunities are in mobile payment processing so Paypal, Square, Vantiv and even Apple. However, stock market investments are getting increasingly risky right now.
ZeroHedge has a good article on all this.

The technology of three-dimensional (3D) picture is now becoming the newest pattern on the planet of TVs and monitors alike. Never forget CCahill, many of the governments in human society right this moment are fiscally impoverished , governing over ravenous or close to starved people. 5.Video in multimedia can be used for offering clear minimize directions.

After 43 occasions of attempting to defund the well being-care legislation and after dropping an election the place the president garnered 5 million more votes than Mitt Romney did and Obamacare was front and center in that election, there's no other group guilty,†said Spillane, 63.
The focus of Africans in China is but one such indicator of the coming "Smooth Energy." All through Africa there are many tales as to the racism, callousness, disregard of local Africans and their tradition and historical past, as is tabulated on this piece I am onto now.Africans are forming commerce and cultural relationships with China on the expense of their own cultures and historical past(which the y, the Africans, might care much less about), and at the moment, they boast of such relations and shout it to the world.
There have been a number of times over the previous few years after I've read a news story or a debate about the morality or value of this or that new process or technology, and thought to myself, "Haven't these people ever watched The Twilight Zone?
Human is not blind to the significance of technological improvement. Sure Facebook actions have fueled battle between social media-savvy couples.

Vandalism of church calls for unity against moral decay
The MJC (SA) is deeply saddened and strongly condemn the vandalism perpetrated against the St Marks
Anglican Church on Wednesday afternoon.We are deeply saddened that one of the oldest churches in District 6, that stands as a symbol of remembrance of the injustice of forced removals of an interfaith community by the Apartheid government, was damaged by what can be termed as ignorance of history, malicious spite and unruly behaviour.
"All places of worship whether they be mosques, churches, synagogues or temples, are places of sanctity. It further serves as places of hope and compassion and therefore should be respected and protected by all citizens," says MJC (SA)'s 1st Deputy president, Moulana Abdul Khaliq Allie.
"When the wanton destruction of sacred property becomes the norm of the day, it speaks about the rapid moral decay of our society."
The MJC (SA) calls upon all government agencies, faith-based leaders, SAPS, CPF's and neighbourhood watches to work together for the well-being of their respective communities.
"The situation demands from all of us to be speaking with one message, that no amount of violence or vandalism can ever be condoned. We cannot cover-up for any criminal activities of any individuals. Let's stand united, pool collective efforts and take control of our communities so that it can lead to a moral re-generation that includes peace, justice and cooperativeness," continued Moulana Allie.
The Muslim community prays that the perpetrators are brought to book and that they face the full might of the law.

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta will recommend to Congress that military salaries be limited to a 1 percent increase next year due to "budget uncertainties" related to sequestration, CNN reports:
Panetta will recommend to Congress that military salaries be limited to a 1 percent increase in 2014. The Pentagon has calculated that the Labor Department's 2014 Employment Cost Index is expected to be above 1 percent but wants to still cut back on pay because of "budget uncertainties," a department official told CNN. In 2013, a 1.7 percent increase was approved, based on the index, which has been the basis for military pay for the last several years.
Three Pentagon officials have confirmed details of the plan to CNN. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have also agreed to Panetta's proposed pay plan. Final approval for the pay would come from Congress in the form of the 2014 budget.
The recommendation is tied to the Defense Department's 2014 budget recommendation, which was expected to be sent to Congress this month, one of the officials said. But the officials acknowledge it is going to be seen as an effort to push Congress to stop the automatic budget cuts that could go into effect if no deal is reached on spending reductions.
Panetta has been a harsh and vocal critic of sequestration.
The essential pay freeze, however, comes just one year after the Obama administration first pushed for members of the U.S. armed service to pay more for their health care.
Last year, the Obama administration's proposed defense budget called for cuts to the military's healthcare benefits program, TRICARE, requiring military members, families, and retirees to pay more for their health care, as the Washington Free Beacon reported. Panetta later defended those cutsbefore a House Budget Committee hearing. The administration then threatened to veto a defense appropriations bill last summer, unless it included higher health care fees for military members. Continue reading via The Washington Free Beacon…

The gorgeous hairstyle is braided down one side and placed over the shoulder to create the whole style a charming look and feel. Several flicks and strands which delicately curl and soften the face look really charming. The sexy curls round your neck and face also bring it a stylish look. The long braid hairstyle looks cool and simple to create.

- Drag the braid to one shoulder to get a luscious asymmetry look.
- Leave 2-3 inches at the end and secure it with a lovely clear elastic band.

Under its original name, The Methodist Committee on Overseas Relief (MCOR) was founded in 1940 by the Bishop Herbert Welch in response to displaced and vulnerable populations in the wake of World War II. In his address at the General Conference that year, Bishop Welch stated that MCOR would serve as a "voice of conscience among Methodists to act in the relief of human suffering without distinction of race, color, or creed." This mandate remains true to this day. The organization's name was legally changed to The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) at the 1972 General Conference.

With the number of cloud firms saturating the industry right now, it's hard to spot the differences and actually decide which is best for you. While the tech can seem very similar across the different hosting options, there's one thing that sets some providers apart from the rest – outstanding technical support.
But what makes great tech support? What should you be looking out for to ensure you're getting the best support available?
While pretty much every company will claim to have 24/7 support lines, how long will it actually take for you to get through to the person you need?
At DMK I.T. Services, we always answer your call within five rings because we know how frustrating it is to be put on hold in a crisis.
Ask your prospective provider what the average wait time is when calling support. If they can't answer your question, chances are it varies hugely. This is fine when it's a small problem, but if you're in deep, you want support you can rely on to be there when you need it.
Again, the '24/7 support' claim is great – but does this have limitations? Does the company only mean 24/7 support on weekdays? Are you fully supported even over weekends and bank holidays?
An outstanding support team, like ours at DMK, is available for your solution 24/7/365. That means our engineers always respond to support tickets within 15 minutes. Whether it's Christmas Day or the middle of the night, you can rest assured we're always available when you need us.
You know that classic situation where you call up support and you're put through to one person who asks you a set of questions, only to be put on hold for 10 minutes and passed to another person who asks you the exact same questions?
Not only does this waste your time but it makes the support process incredibly inefficient for the people trying to help you.
At DMK, you're put through to a support pod that's dedicated to your solution. So every time you ring, you speak to your own account manager who knows you and your business, and highly qualified engineers who know your solution inside out. No messing around, no being passed from pillar to post – just stress-free support. And that's the way it should be!
Do you ever get the feeling the person at the other end of the phone knows as much about the problem as you do? That they're reading from a script? Or, even worse, are an automated calling system?
Look for providers that constantly train their teams and provide expert support.
When you've invested in a cloud solution for your organisation, you want a team that's just as invested in the tech as you are. That's why DMK engineers are always at the cutting edge. As well as incredible Windows engineers, we have the most qualified Linux team in the UK. Every engineer is Linux Essentials and CompTIA certified, and senior and enterprise engineers certified with the full suite of LPI qualifications.
We know that not every provider goes the extra mile for their clients. But we think it's incredibly important to show how much we value the organisations that choose to work with us.
If your provider isn't feeling like an extension of your own business, if they're not interested in helping you develop and grow, you may want to consider finding one that is.
From our personal experience, a true partnership with a hosting provider is something every business deserves to have. But that's just our opinion. Do you think your business could be getting better support?

- Abstract
- Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is an important area in structural optimization. A principal step of the RBDO process is to solve a reliability analysis problem. This problem has been considered in inner loop of double-loop RBDO approaches. Although many algorithms have been developed for solving this problem, there are still some challenges. Existing algorithms do not have good convergence rates and often diverge. There is a need to develop more efficient and stable algorithms that can be used for evaluating all performance functions sufficiently. In this paper, a new method, called "Conjugate Gradient Analysis (CGA) Method", is proposed to apply in the reliability analysis problems. This method is based on the conjugate gradient method. Some mathematical problems are provided in order to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method compared with the existing methods. © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
