Last updated and effective as of December 31, 2019
While we encourage you to read our entire Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, here are a few highlights for quick reference:
1. There are two parts to our business. First, we operate online media properties where we offer content to our users (such as habu.com, sublimedaily.com, dailyastrologyguide.com, financefortunes.com, and thedigitalsmb.com). Second, we collect certain data on behalf of our customers (our "Customers") to help them better market their products and services.
2. With respect to our media properties, we found ourselves annoyed with ads and overpriced subscriptions. So, we came up with a new model and our own way to give our audiences what they want while still being able to run a business. On our Services, you may notice quizzes, questions, polls, contests, sweepstakes or promotions that you may be able to respond to or participate in. If you want to respond or participate, please do! If you don't want to respond or participate, please don't! The information you share with us, or that we otherwise collect, may subsequently be shared with our Customers. Our Customers are likely brands or other companies that you already engage with. We provide our Customers services to help them better market their products and services. As part of that relationship, we may share data about you, which our Customers may use to identify trends and personalize their products and services. Providing these services is our business model.
3. Our services may also be deployed on third party websites. Any data we collect across the internet is subject to our Privacy Policy.
4. If you make any of your information publicly available, you understand that anyone may access, use, or share such information. For example, if you post a comment to an article, other readers may see such comment and may repost it.
5. You agree to act responsibly and to respect the intellectual property rights of Habu and third parties.
6. We use artificial intelligence and machine learning to make our software cooler, smarter, and stronger – but all of it subject to the privacy and trust constraints described above.
You can send any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the websites, applications, tools, services, and platform (collectively, the "Services") of Habu, Inc. and our subsidiaries (collectively, "Habu", "we" or "us") that are owned or operated by us, including, without limitation, our websites habu.com, sublimedaily.com, dailyastrologyguide.com, financefortunes.com, and thedigitalsmb.com, as well as any information we collect or receive from across the internet or mobile space through our products.

Our Services use the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:

Pixel Tags
We also use "pixel tags," which are small graphic files that allow us and third parties to monitor the use of the Services and collect usage data. We may also insert pixel tags on third parties' website. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by that server on your computer.
We use pixel tags to collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with our sites and Services and use them in combination with our cookies to provide offers and information of interest to you. We may also use pixel tags to collect data related to a website visit. Similar functionality may be enabled in a mobile app through the use of an SDK (Software Development Kit).
Pixel tags also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit the Services or other websites.
Other websites may integrate our widgets on their websites; when you visit a website with our widgets embedded, we may receive certain information, including information you actively submit as well as usage data.
In addition, we use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.

Every age-set passes through a series of age-classes or stages.These successive stages of development in the life of an age-set constitute the age-grade.Thus the age-grades are the structural framework through which each age-set progresses.The age-sets are often named and have common and uniform symbols like dress,ornaments,emblems,badges etc.Each age-set has a distinctive status,characteristic forms of behaviour,specific occupations,ceremonial functions,recreation clubs etc.Members of an age-set are bound together by obligatory cooperation and mutual aid.
The formal recruitment into age-groups and the passing into higher age-grades involve collective ceremonial and ritual initiation.This is accompanied by special and specific instructions in tribal law,habits and customs.Physical initiation marks the attainment of maturity when the puberty rites for boys or girls are performed.Other public ceremonies such as extinguishing of fire and its ritual rekindling followed by dramatisation of birth and death,sacrifices are also performed.Payments of some kind contributing to public feasting may often be necessary at this juncture.The ordeal of initiation often involve seclusion as well as the imposition of food and other taboos.
The primary functions of age-groups lie in the maintenance of tribal way of life and the systematic transmission of tribal tradition from older to younger people.The lower sets are generally playmates and undergo informal training.The middle sets constitute youth receiving formal educational instructions perform public and sometimes military duties.The upper sets which comprise the older and senior most members of the tribe are usually vested with administrative powers and also ceremonial as well as ritual precedence.Further there are separate age-groups for females and males the corresponding set of girls and boys generally court and marry .
The bonds of age cut across those of clan,kinship and other personal affiliations by uniting persons of the same age group in an attempt to promote group solidarity and tribal integrity.Age group organizations are quite widespread among tribals in Africa like Nuer of Kenya,Masai of East Africa etc.In India tribes like the Oraon,Naga ,Munda and Ho reveal the presence and operation of age-group systems.

The Moor's Last SighBook - 1995
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This is Salman Rushdie at his best. He takes you yonder, some magical reality, away from the surface of this earth, yet remains understandable, with the down to earth clarity, uncharacteristic (to me), of his other novels like Haroun and and the sea of stories, Satanic verses and Mid-Night's Children. I find it hard to select reading materials, after reading any Salman Rushdie. In this i learn that, "Every love is good, even defeated love..."
The destruction of an empire as told by one of its fallen sons,an abomination everyone will abuse. While in certain aspects similar to Rushdie equally masterful book Shame , The Moors Last Sigh sheds the skin of poetry that Shame wore so confidently. it does steal anything away fromit, on the contrary, its adherence to reality imbues upon its prose a completly unique, and no less enjoyable quality. if you have yet to taste Rushdies delicacies of literature, i would recommend this as perfect entree.

I've had this idea rolling around my head for the last few weeks. It's an idea that involves me hooking up my mixer board, launching a G+ hangout, and recording a (mostly) live podcast where anybody can just show up. People could shamelessly promote their projects, pick a fight with me over a matter of nerd trivia, or just chat like we're at the pub. Did I mention that everybody has a drink in their hand while this whole thing is going on? No? Well they should, that is fundamental.
In a perfect world, it would be like the Ricky Gervais Show, only without Ricky, Steve, Karl, a budget, proper editing, those fun animations…okay it would be nothing like the Ricky Gervais Show. But it would still be fun. So why not do it tonight, after work, I thought to myself.
""Because," began a voice in my head that sounded nothing like my 10th grade football coach, "If you do it tonight, nobody is going to show up and it will be like one of those first three pathetic podcasts that you did all by yourself."
The voice had a point. It would probably make sense to give people a bit of notice, do some advertising, post about it here, offer a sacrifice to Gozer to see if Wil Wheaton or Felicia Day would come on the show: all the usual stuff that goes into producing a podcast. Also The Hunger Games opens tonight and I won't lie, I kind of want to see it.
So how about this, on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 7:00PM EST I'm going to do the first ever almost live Page of Reviews podcast via a Google+ hangout. Whoever you are, whatever your project, come on in and chat about it. Or don't and watch me tap dance for an hour as I talk to myself. Really, it's a win / win scenario.
Webcams won't be necessary as the finished version of the podcast is audio only. Maybe one day when I have a better computer and an actual budget I'll try to pull off a screen cast.
If you know right now that you want to get in on this, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Let me know when during the hour you plan on showing up, and we can go from there. Otherwise you can follow me on G+ for further details.

An old Akin Family Association newsletter story mentioned Molly Ferris Akin. Did the young Quaker woman really sneak into the British encampment and fire a musket? If so, then she supposedly alerted the Americans to their location in Pawling, New York. The pieces of her story weren't in one place. Verissima Productions and I traveled to Dartmouth, (Massachusetts), Pawling, and to coastal Maine. See what you think. Did she or didn't she?
We made that trip 5 years ago! It takes a long time to make a dream a reality. Financial support for this project came from you through our Kickstarter and fundraising campaign. Thank you for making my wish come true.

An organisation by activity
Hcéres is governed by a Board of 30 members (half men, half women), including its President. The Board defines the annual evaluation schedule and the measures required for ensuring the quality, transparency and publication of the evaluation procedures conducted by the High Council. Alongside the Board, there is also the Scientific Steering Committee of the OST and the French Advisory Board for Research Integrity.
- Department of Evaluation of Clusters of Higher Education and Research Institutions (DECT)
- Department of Evaluation of Higher Education and Research Institutions (DEE)
- Department of Research Evaluation (DER)
- Department of Programme Evaluation (DEF)
- Europe and International Department (DEI)
- IT Department (DSI)
- General Secretariat
- Science and Technology Observatory (OST)
- French Office for Research Integrity (OFIS)
The particular feature of the evaluations conducted by Hcéres is that an ad hoc panel is formed for each evaluation according to the specific nature of the evaluated institution.
The panel includes peers (researchers and professors) and experts from other backgrounds (students, professionals from the public and private sectors, etc.)
Each year, Hcéres calls upon an average of 3,500 French and foreign experts to conduct the evaluations. They are chosen from a list of experienced experts and from among new candidates, according to the characteristics of the evaluated institution and the profiles required to form the panel.
The evaluation method applied by Hcéres is tried and tested. It is based on supervision of the evaluation process by scientific advisors/project managers specialised in the discipline under consideration and on the work of the panels of experts working on a collegial basis. This know-how is completed by that of:
- the Science and Technology Observatory (OST) in indicator and analysis production,
- the French Office for Research Integrity (OFIS) in taking account of scientific integrity in evaluations.
The Strategic Plan provides Hcéres with a roadmap through to 2020, setting out its own quality assurance policy, its objectives and progress indicators, and the resources required to achieve them.
Hcéres also bases its quality approach on the standards adopted in the European Higher Education Area (European Standards and Guidelines - ESG). In 2017, recognition by the European bodies (ENQA, EQAR) provided a sign of confidence for all relevant stakeholders. It marked the conclusion of a process consisting of:
- a self-evaluation of the operations of the High Council and of its practices to define avenues for development,
- an external evaluation conducted by a panel of international experts on the basis of the ESG.

San Bruno alleges 'cozy' relationship between PG&E, regulators after explosion
San Bruno city officials, furious over what they said were overly friendly communications between utility regulators and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. related to a fatal 2010 gas pipeline explosion, are calling for a multi-agency investigation of California Public Utilities Commission President Michael Peevey.
At a press conference on the steps of the PUC building in downtown San Francisco on Monday, Mayor Jim Ruane called for Peevey's immediate removal from ongoing proceedings related to proposed penalties for the blast that killed eight and injured 66 others. PUC staff has proposed levying more than $2 billion in fines for the blast in the Bay Area bedroom community.
The allegations are based on 7,000 pages of PUC documents released by the commission to comply with a settlement of a San Bruno lawsuit under the California Public Records Act.
According to the mayor, the documents reveal that Peevey and top PUC and PG&E officials communicated frequently by email in violation of the commission's rules regarding private conversations between parties to official actions and regulators.
"Not only do these private communications violate the law but they provide evidence of a relationship between the utility and the CPUC that is familiar, collegial and cozy," he said.
A PUC spokeswoman did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the San Bruno legal filings.
PG&E in a letter to the city said it would review the emails.
"While we are required to communicate on a daily basis with the commission on a wide array of issues critical to our customers, we are absolutely committed to conducting ourselves in an ethical manner at all times," the company wrote.
A federal grand jury has indicted PG&E on 12 alleged violations of the U.S. Pipeline Safety Act, involving poor record keeping and faulty management practices.

I'm gonna get this bit out of the way first thing. Facebook. The cause of many of life's problems. Since I got it within a month or so of going to university it has been there taking up my time that would be much better used on doing more constructive things such as working or doing exercise or just about anything. But it is not the general facebook that I am going to rant about here it is the events section. You think, wow what a nice simple way to invite all your friends to a night out. NO! this is a myth, it is utterly useless.
This too was the case on this occasion. About a month or so ago I created the event Bombay Bicycle Club @ KOKO (Club NME) to which I invited a solid 30 or so people to. As expected I got a number of replies saying no they couldn't make it which is fair enough but then you get the people who say yes and don't mean it, say maybe or even don't reply. How is this useful to anyone. What does Maybe actually mean in this situation, if it is no but I don't want to say it, WHY? just say no. the same for not replying. The worst though are the people who say yes despite having no intention of going whatsoever. The group had a confirmed attendance of 7 people and yet after I called around on the day only 2 of them came. Me and Leander. Laura was there as well but she was with a bunch of her mates.
Rant over, the day started with some Labour party work, delivering leaflets, then a quick trip to meet the girlfriend (who was one of the few people to have a decent reason for not coming) and then off to Colliers Wood tube station for 8 o'clock. I had estimated that it might take us an hour to get there, but it only took about 40 minutes, so we went to the pub across the road and had a few brewskies. I hadn't intended to drink on the night but as there were only 2 of us there I thought it probably would be a bit weird not to. Don't ask me to explain that reasoning but it made sense to me. Anyway we stayed in the crescent pub until about half past 10 and then made our way into KOKO. The entrance price by this time was up to £5.00 of which Leander payed full price. I on the other hand asked the man behind the till if I got cheaper with NUS he said yes and without even checking that I had one, charged me the measly sum of £2. I of course was elated, whereas Leander was a little peaved.
We were inside and immediately I remembered why I loved KOKO so much, not only does it look amazing, they play top tunes. The first two we heard were the wombats and the view. We went up to the top bar (as it is always the emptiest) and ordered some drinks and I immediately remembered why I don't go there every week. £3.50 for a can of beer. Luckily there was some special deal going on. A concotion called a granite something, not entirely sure what it contained but it tasted largely of ginger beer, which wasnt a bad thing and it was by far the cheapest drink there. We went back into the main room again and what song came on next. GENERATOR! by the Holloways and of course I went mental, stepping on various people's feet and getting some weird looks but I didn't care, it is essential when hearing that song.
The first band came on at 11:30, they were from New Zealand, I can't remember their name and for that matter I wouln;t want to. They were boring, end of. There is actually nothing else of note to say about them. After they finished there was a 15 minute break, including songs from the Libertines and one of my most recently listened to artists, Ida Maria before Bombay Bicycle Club took to the stage. I have liked the band for a few years now, since I first saw them on road to V after the Holloways. Back then they were 16 year old school kids who had just finished their GCSE's, now at 18 they are allowed to play in venues such as KOKO and play it they did. The performance was lively and saw them playing all the songs that they have released so far in their fledgling career. Their stage presence was good if not a little anxious but then they are only just starting playing to bigger venues, I do like the lead singers dancing though as he plays the guitar, reminds me of myself. This doesn't mean he's a good dancer but not afraid to just move exactly how he likes without caring. The set finished at about 1 o'clock and me and Leander stayed dancing away to the indie anthems until about 2 before we left for home.
As usual I got lost first but then remembered where the nigthbus leaves from. The bus journey took maybe an hour in total and so we were back at my house by about half 3 and then we went to sleep before being woken up at stupid o'clock in the morning by my dad going to work. Leander then left and I went back to sleep.

Landscapes of Racial Dispossession and Control: Tracing the development of early career research on racial health inequities
Monday, 10/21/2019, 12:00 pm. ARCHIVED EVENT
Location: ISR-Thompson 1430
Racial inequities in health have been documented and described in the public health literature for decades, yet these inequities have remained or even increased. In order to move forward, we must understand the role of cultural and structural racism upon which these inequities are built. Cultural racism shapes our society's structure and ultimately shapes the answers to the questions: "Whose life counts? Who is worthy of a healthy life?" In this presentation, Dr. Hicken will discuss the interwoven nature of both career trajectory, as a former PSC predoctoral trainee, and the development of her science on cultural and structural racism and health inequities. Specifically, she will outline her theory on racism and health and describe her collaborative data project designed to empirically examine this theory.
Related Material:
Dr. Margaret Hicken is on faculty at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan where she serves as director of the UM RacismLab, an interdisciplinary research collected designed to facilitate the career progression of scholar who study cultural and structural racism. She is also director of the Landscapes of Racism Dispossession and Control data project, supported with funding from NIDDK, NIMHD, and NIA, to examine the ways in which historical and contemporary forms of racial control have resulted in contemporary health inequities.

KTM RC200 ABS launched in India
- In order to comply with the upcoming safety norms, the KTM RC200 has gained ABS. The updated model is priced at Rs 1.88 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
- Like the naked 200 Duke, the RC200, too, has a single-channel ABS unit, which means that the system will only prevent the front wheel from locking under emergency braking.
- Otherwise, the bike remains the most powerful 200 cc offering in the country with its single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine generating 25 bhp of power and 19.2 Nm of torque.
- KTM dealers have already started taking bookings of the ABS model. The non-ABS version will also continue to be on sale until the stocks last.
- In a related update, Yamaha has also updated its FZ25 and Fazer 25 with ABS. However, despite the Yamaha bikes being cheaper and less powerful than the RC200, they've got a safer dual-channel ABS unit.

Rachel Dolezal, the infamous figure known for being a white woman who identifies as a Black woman, knows what all performing artists know: album and book sales are no longer enough to support oneself—the real money's in merch.
After ponying up almost $9,000 as part of a plea agreement for felony welfare fraud last April, Dolezal appears to be recouping some of that money with an extensive 230-item online store hosted on Zazzle dot com. The selection looks like the offerings at a sidewalk tag sale in a universe where everything has Rachel Dolezal's face on it. Items include, but are not limited to, golf balls with her face on them, Christmas ornaments with her face on them, mugs with her face on them, and a $122 Nike backpack, also featuring her face. Other products, including USB drives, decorated thermoses, skate decks, and $84 body pillows, are printed with her original artworks, such as the painting "Afro Picks & Combs."
One especially notable item, a button that says "don't e-race me," is explained on the product page: Racial binary thinking erases the unique and complex beings that make up each person. I'm not sure what "e-race" means, but I think it is a portmanteau of "electronic" and "race," an allusion to the semi-constant roasting she's received online since being exposed as a white woman.
Those who venture beyond her Zazzle site to the store on her personal website will be rewarded with such treasures as a miniature sculpture of an electric chair for $2,000 and a hand-sewn custom Melanin Spectrum Doll™, which comes in five different shades, to reflect the rich, beautiful tapestry of humanity in all of its five different shades.
Browsing the online inventory is an absurd experience, as I'm not sure what I'm looking at, who it's for, and why I am here in the first place. I would have been tempted to buy a pack of sultry Dolezal playing cards ($15.75) or a coffee mug ($21.90) if not for the unreasonable prices and my hesitation to reward the unbridled narcissism required to sell wrapping paper with your face on it. I imagine there are two types of people who would buy Dolezal-branded items: the men who leave comments on her Facebook posts such as "Beautiful…" and "Nice," and people who are buying it as a subtle Fight Club-like nod to other people who also spend too much time on the internet.
For those cynical enough to think that someone other than Rachel Dolezal would take Rachel Dolezal's image and profit from it, despite not having the lived experiences that Rachel Dolezal has, don't worry: Dolezal announced the launch of her Zazzle store last year via Instagram, and also promoted her store on Facebook as recently as this past June. The only person trolling Dolezal here is herself, by accident.

Or, as irony becomes the default language of Online, perhaps Dolezal is showing her true media savvy with her Zazzle store. After all, you can't own someone who's selling Christmas ornaments with their face on it. This might be the most self-aware thing Dolezal has ever done.

Mark Twain wrote that forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
Practice forgiveness muscles more regularly, petty wrongs, remarks and slights will not touch you and

Christophe Leclercq, Founder of Euractiv is also associate professor in our executive master.
(email@example.com, @LeclercqEU)
Journalism and media companies face huge challenges across the world, both financial and technological. In Europe, there is an additional concern, the growing dependency on non-European media groups (be it through traditional mergers and acquisitions, such as the Nikkei buy-out of FT Group or Egyptian control of Euronews) and the loss of revenues to platforms such as Google or Facebook. Wolfgang Blau, now with Condé Naste, observes that out of the top 25 news sites in Europe, none of them is from EU 27. Because of the lack of a large, European, English-language publication, he says we encounter a paradox: "The perception of the European Union around the world, and of Europe, is mostly shaped by American and British news associations."
The linguistic diversity of Europe is a barrier to achieving economies of scale and results in a fragmentation of the European media sector. While a lack of innovation and policies to stimulate it, also expose the sector to fierce competition and a steady decline in revenues and profitability.
The "#Media4EU" project
There are several reasons for undertaking this study now. Firstly, there is a need for publishers from the leading European countries to learn from each other. Many quality media in Europe have few or no full-time foreign correspondents in each other's capitals. We suspect that publishers and editors alike are seeking innovative business models with which to tackle these challenges.
Secondly 'Social media' have positive and negative effects for many media: they substantially aid dissemination but also feed populism: a true European Public Space requires sustained quality journalism, as well as more cross-border co-operation and trust.
Thirdly, while there are over a dozen cross-border content exchange agreements within Europe, few have proved sustainable. We foresee opportunities for more pan-European networks, which in turn could offer new sources of revenue streams. For this to happen, four main hurdles remain to be overcome: the 'no' invented here' syndrome of many journalists, inefficient processes for publication, 'slow' translations and inadequate revenue models. A tall order!
We plan to talk to journalism teachers and academics to help provide up-to-date research on these hypotheses, as well as on the future of translated syndication. Better machine translation, could help during the coming decade, more than in the past twenty years.
At a European level, there is another issue underlying the project: why has the EU never handled media as an economic sector, unlike steel, cars, IT etc.?
While the first stage of the Tour d'Europe will involve meeting and interviewing leaders of national media, a second stage will involve discussing this analysis, also among leading EU policy makers, responding to the rise of populism and Euroscepticism across Europe. The European Union has traditionally tackled many regulatory and technical issues, but has been less assertive on socio-political challenges.
This project's second phase, dissemination, will end around June 2017. An initial report and recommendations will be presented in early 2017. Indeed politicians could consider a media strategy as part of a series of media sector conferences.
Thanks to Julian Oliver for helping draft this 'carte blanche' and to the 'Media4EU' team members, Dimitris Chatzigiannis and Bianca Ferrari, for their support. The 'Media4EU' project is described here and the Steering Committee will be published soon, including Prof. Ramona and Prof. Heinderyckx

The Steel Prince by V. E. Schwab
|Book Name:
|Shades of Magic Vol. 1: The Steel Prince (Shades of Magic Graphic Novels #1-4)
|V. E. Schwab
|Titan Comics
|Paperback / Ebook
|Comic Book / Fantasy
|Release Date:

Well, fellow adventurers, she's done it again. V. E. Schwab delivers another amazing story with her Shades of Magic expansion comic book entitled: The Steel Prince. Published in March 2019 from Titan Comics, The Steel Prince is an adult fantasy comic book that explores the backstory of a secondary character in the Shades of Magic trilogy, Kell's father, none other than King Maxim Maresh.
While the story focuses on a younger Prince Maxim, there are other characters from Shades of Magic in this comic, too. We get a taste of Tieren Serense, who was Head Priest at the London Sanctuary in the original trilogy and who continues that role in this story, and Isra, a mere royal guard but who you may recall as being the head of Rhy Maresh's guard.
The story takes place outside of Red London, a welcomed change from the trilogy, in a coastal town called Verose, where pirates and thieves rein and the city guard has a lot on their hands. Maxim, as much as he tries not to, sticks out like a sore thumb during the events that transpire. (Most folk immediately recognize him as the Crown Prince of Arnes.)
Make sure you take a deep breath before reading this because the story hits the ground running and never really lets up. From the reason Maxim is sent to Verose is to the fight with a local bloodthirsty pirate. The tension is high and Maxim goes to great lengths to prove himself. I really enjoyed the action, as it kept the plot moving and kept me guessing what would happen next. Arisa, the pirate queen, was a new and fascinating character who especially propelled the story forward. I enjoyed how intertwined the characters became in such a short amount of time, too, and how believable those connections felt.
The magic in the story was interesting, as we all knew it would be. We got some really pretty looks at the elemental magics—water and wind, fire and earth—as well as Maxim's unique fighting style as he bends steel to his will. But what I really enjoyed was the in-depth look at a forbidden magic: bone. Basically, it's where the magician can control a person's bones and, as you might guess, the results aren't pretty.
Obviously, I can't talk about a comic without going into the illustrations and while the story is great, here is where the book really shines. Artist Andrea Olimpieri and colorist Enrica Eren Angiolini really bring the story to life. The super-bright pops of color when showcasing the various magics, the unique spin on the bone magic where it highlights the literal bones of the characters, and the interesting angles on the characters make for a good visual story. I loved how intense the fight scenes were in the middle of the comic and how the elemental magic seemed to jump off the page.
I must also say that it was really fun to revisit old characters, especially ones lost by the end of Shade of Magic. Getting to know a bit more of where Isra started really rounded out her character for me, and I hope to see more of her in the upcoming comics. Seeing Maxim as a young, reckless prince trying his best to be what his people needs is so like Rhy's journey, and even though Kell isn't of their bloodline, I can see where he got his headstrong personality and drive to do good. I can also tell how Maxim would grow to become their father—and the king we knew from the Shades of Magic trilogy—just by the way he acts in The Steel Prince.
It's not all magic and flowers, though, as with every story there are some negative aspects to be found, too. While the illustrations were on point most of the time, I found the beginning of the comic a tad too dark. Yes, the story starts out at night so it makes sense that the coloring would be dark, but the memories of the characters are set in shadows, the introduction of a pretty pinnacle character happens at night and inside a dark bar, and even the training scenes aren't very well lit. To be honest, this color pallet threw me! At first glance, I didn't like that I couldn't see the characters very well, and the action and memories being set in shadows annoyed me. But on a second read, the color pallet grew on me and I began to appreciate the blasts of color from the magic even more. It made the magical aspects of this world all the more powerful.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this comic to anyone who enjoyed the Shades of Magic trilogy and wanted to be back in that world once again. (Honestly, even if you haven't read Shades of Magic, I think you'd find this a fun read!) I think V. E. Schwab's writing really shines in her novels—that's where I originally fell in love with her style, characters, and world—but I'm glad she branched out into comics, and I'm interested in seeing where this story will go. I give it a nine out of ten stars!

Basically, ask me to make any sort of program you want; I'll give it a try.
- Doesn't have to be within LÖVE, can be anything at all.
- Personally, I prefer the communication and encryption side of programing. (Will do other stuff though.)
- I am a windows guy, if you want stuff for other platforms it must be web based. (Can do basic hosting.)
- Don't be stupid.
- Just because you ask, doesn't mean I have to do it.

(Pocket-lint) - We have to admit, we folks at Pocket-lint like shiny things. As the old army phrase goes - if it's shiny it must be worth having - and the same can be said for the Sony Network Walkman NW-HD1 that's just landed in our office.
Shiny however isn't all this small diminutive player has to offer its small as well. In fact Sony boasts (well in June it did) that this is the world's smallest hard drive based MP3 player and we would have to agree with them, its certainly the smallest hard drive based player we've seen and compared to the iriver H300 that we also have in the office this thing is tiny. The measurements to be exact are 8.9cm wide x 6.2cm tall x 1.3cm thick, and it weighs just 112grams. To put that into context its about the size of five credit cards stacked on top of each other. Wow.
At that size you expect the player to be a competitor to the other 4 or 5Gb models on the market. Not so, the NW-HD1 amazingly houses a 20Gb hard drive capable of storing 13,000 songs in the ATRAC3plus format at 48Kbps in its memory banks. 48Kbps is a bit ropey for music really and even at 64Kbps tracks are prone to be flat, that said you should still get around 10,000 song on this, so for the extremely discerning, 5000 songs at the more average 128Kbps is better than a poke in the eye. Oh and did we forget to mention on a unit that is the size of five credit cards stacked on top of each other.
At that size you would also expect something that might not be able to take a beating. Again not so. The NW-HD1 is encased in brushed metal with the minimal of buttons to play with. The front offers the typical Sony smoked screen found so often on its handheld units, between which is a black and white LCD display to view all the relevant information. The main control is also situated on the front and this is a simple once button D-pad that allows you to scroll through the menu system as well as offering fast-forward, back, stop, pause and play. The top presents volume controls, a mode and menu button while the bottom offers nothing more than the on/off switch and a hold slider that locks all the controls.
The European version we tested came with a simple set of headphones with an exceptionally long cord, and while other territories seem to be getting a enhanced remote, this was not in the box or on the contents list. As yet we don't know if it will be sold in larger Sony shops as a spare.
Power the unit up and the menu system and options are very basic. You can scroll through the usual options to find your tracks - Genre, Album, Artist etc and the display gives all the relevant track details such as song title, artist, time, quality etc. The system is very easy to use and Sony has made sure that everything says very basic. There is no built-in organiser, no FM radio and no file storage allocation. There is an Equalizer setting which makes a tiny bit of difference to the overall sound quality and a virtual setting that allows to you make the recording sound like you are live, or in an arena. We never quite understand why you would ever want to do this - if the recording is live then let it sound like that is our belief. That said even with live recordings setting it to the live setting made little difference.
Sound on the whole was very good if not a little quite on the recordings we tested it with. Understandably what did make a difference was the quality at which it had been recording at and there was a noticeable difference when playing back 64kbps tracks compared to 128kbps - being that as expected the 128Kbps tracks sounded a lot better. To give a wide variety of sounds we tested the player with some Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rock and NOFX's definitive Punk in Dublic. The player coped well with the dulcet tones of Dave Matthews and the numerous sax solos that are on that album, while still coping with the guitar and angst on the NOFX album.
So what's the catch? Well in true Sony style you have to transfer everything into ATRAC3plus to play it on the NW-HD1 and this means having to using the Sonic SonicStage version 2.1 software that comes in the box. Straight away that rules out Apple Mac owners, but then they are probably already in thrall to the iPod anyway.
The SonicStage Software isn't the most user-friendly and it would have been a lot nicer if Sony had incorporated support for Windows Media Player, or even better made the player drag-and-drop. This has always been one of the problems with the Sony ATRAC players, however one we suppose is unavoidable if you want to use the unit.
On the whole the software isn't that bad to use and you are of course given access to the Sony Connect music download store by default. Why Sony can't join the fold and settle on a format that is universally acceptable on all player like MP3 is beyond us, but we suppose if you are new to the MP3 market then this is an evil that will probably make little difference in the grander scale of things.
Because you are restricted to transferring your songs via the SonicStage software having to connect the NW-HD1 via a docking station is by the by. It is USB2.0 compatible which means fast transfer of songs to the unit, but again using a docking station does mean you're locked into either carrying the station and a power adapter around wherever you go or by only using it on the desktop at home.
Sony has tried to combat the need to dock the unit by promising a 30 hour battery life, and so far in our trials it's living up to that claim.
As a player you can't fault it. It's sleek, sharp and stylish and the size makes a big difference. Not only that but it gets the wow factor, not only from us in the office, but also people that have seen us using it out and about - always a good sign. The catch is that the SonicStage software won't be everyone's cup of tea. While it works, there were a number of times we got frustrated. It's a shame because it may well be the deciding factor in not opting for this player.
The big question of course - is it an iPod killer? For the PC users we think it is. Get past the software and you've got a player to be proud of. Yes the options are limited, but who do you know that owns an iPod uses the vcard side of it. To those people who will say what about the FM radio? You never complained when CD players lack a radio so why should you here. It also means there's no mucking around using the headphone lead as an antenna.
Sony invented the Walkman over 20 years ago and while it failed to fully capitalise on MiniDisc in between, this is Sony returning to form.
Location: Essex
Review: I brought the new Sony 20gb NW-HD1 last Sunday and returned back to Bennetts the next day. Quite simply: it's damn right awful. It doesn't come with a remote, the software is virtually un-useable and too fiddly by half. Not good enough.

I can do the following: Integrate[Cos[2*x]* Exp[I*z*Cos[x]], {x, -Pi, Pi}] which produces a Bessel function answer; however if I change the argument in the cosine to 2.5 as in: Integrate[Cos[2.5*x]* Exp[I*z*Cos[x]], {x, -Pi, Pi}] I almost immediately get this: No more memory available. Mathematica kernel has shut down. Try quitting other applications and then retry. Any ideas why? I am running XP with 2Gb of memory. Thanks, Kevin
