Rethinking Civilization offers an alternative view of human civilization in a globalizing age. Majid Tehranian analyses the transition from nomadic, to agrarian, commercial, industrial, and digital civilizations and argues that the growing gaps among the five major civilizations have led to terror operating as a form of global communication.
This new book explores the uneven pace of development of human societies, particularly in the last two centuries, and argues that this is leading to a global civil war. Taking a long-term historical perspective, and developing a model that explains how empires, resistance, and civilizations have evolved alongside major technological breakthroughs in history, Tehranian offers a multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary analysis of the phenomenon.
Seeking to counter the current rhetorical trends, Tehranian
reconceptualizes "civilization" to make it a useful analytical rather than ideological category.
defines the varieties of terrorism, including structural, nuclear, state, opposition, messianic, and anomic.
addresses the contemporary problems of global governance and the evolution of international relations.
traces the evolution of global communication from orality to literacy, print, electronic, and digital modes.
forecasts the emerging problems of encounters among the five civilizations.
This unique and original volume will be of great interest to students and researchers of globalization, international relations, peace studies and sociology.
1. Introduction 2. An Unfinished Journey 3. Global Empire 4. Global Terror 5. Global Governance 6. Global Communication 7. Religious Resurgence 8. Human Conditions 9. Human Spirituality 10. A Personal Journey References
This series is designed to break new ground in the literature on globalisation and its academic and popular understanding. Rather than perpetuating or simply reacting to the economic understanding of globalisation, this series seeks to capture the term and broaden its meaning to encompass a wide range of issues and disciplines and convey a sense of alternative possibilities for the future.

The Forward3D data science team provided Trend Micro with a complete view of digital marketing, product area and onsite content performance using dynamic, data-driven attribution modelling.
More than this, by using data science consultancy time to apply the findings from the attribution model outputs, Forward3D spotted several budgeting and campaign level optimisation opportunities for Trend Micro, which resulted in significant performance gains and efficiencies.
Having a more accurate view of multi-channel marketing performance had been a challenge for Trend Micro because of several factors:
The result of these three conditions was that it was difficult to quantify the return from certain marketing channels, particularly those that appeared in the early stages of the sales funnel.
In turn, this made it difficult for the marketing team to justify investment in acquisition and brand channels since there was little visibility into how these channels resulted in sales using the last click attribution model that was in use across the business.
As a result of the new attribution model, Trend Micro was also able to distinguish between the marketing / media channels that effectively drove new customer acquisition versus other that were better placed to drive product renewals. This knowledge was used to help with marketing mix planning and budget requests.
By tailoring the attribution model to fit the business instead of relying on insights from an 'out of the box' solution, Trend Micro and Forward3D developed an application of marketing attribution that reveals the drivers of performance that are specific and relevant to Trend Micro's business model.

From my past experiences of reading books and watching movies, I know that I tend to intensely identify with one or two of the characters. Sometimes I think about how they would behave in my life situations and how I would in theirs. I don't think this habit is all that uncommon, but if you want to read up more on it, see exhibits A and B.
This post, in contrast to the thousands of reviews on Kristen Cashore's Bitterblue novel, explores the connection I developed while reading this book a few years ago and my recent re-reading to explore why it affected me so strongly. Rather than focus on the plot, I'm focusing more on the points of personal connection as a bit of a psychological exercise.
Slight Spoilers Ahead!

Original artist: maya *R.I.P.
According to FNN news and other various sources, a body was found in Arafune mountain and was later identified by authorities to be 「Crayon Shin-chan」 manga author Usui Yoshito (51). It is believed that he had fallen 120 meters below Tomoiwa cliff. He last told his family on September 11th that he was going hiking in Gunma Prefecture. The family later reported him missing and the Saitama Prefecture Police have been in search for Usui ever since.

Palets de Dames
If you're unfamiliar with the Baie de Somme, then I'd describe it as an area of spectacularly large and rapid tides, seabirds, seals, fine seafood, salicorne (samphire), salt marsh lamb and some excellent baking among many other things. Happily for me, it's also not all that far from the south of England.
Incidentally, they're called palets de dames because 'jeu de dames' is French for the game of draughts (or checkers, if you're not British). I've only ever seen white icing being used, though, so it might be a one-sided game.
For the palets:
130 g unsalted butter, softened
130 g icing sugar, sifted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
150 g plain flour, sifted
75 g ground almonds
Apricot jam
For the icing:
225 g icing sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
4 or 5 tbsp water
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Beat the butter briefly, then add the icing sugar and continue beating until light in colour and very smooth. Gradually add the eggs while continuing to beat the mixture. Stir in the flour, followed by the ground almonds. The flour and ground almonds need to be thoroughly combined, but don't overwork the mixture at this stage.
Line a couple of oven trays with baking parchment or silicone sheets. If you want a regular and nicely rounded finish on the palets then you could pipe the mixture onto the baking trays in neat circles. That's what a true patissière would do, I'm sure. On the other hand, if you don't mind a touch of irregularity, then simply spoon small piles of the mixture onto the lined trays and flatten them a little with the back of the spoon. The amount here will make around 16 decent sized palets but you could make them smaller if you wished. Space the palets out to allow them to spread while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for around 10 minutes. The palets should feel fairly springy to the touch, should have a light golden colour around the edge but should remain pale in the centre. Cool on a wire rack.
Once cool, spread the tops with some apricot jam. This will be easier if the jam is warmed a little first, but allow the jam to cool before adding the icing. Prepare the icing by mixing together the icing sugar, the lemon juice and enough water to produce a fairly thin but not too watery icing. Spread the icing over the palets, being careful to avoid disturbing the apricot jam layer too much. Allow the icing to set before enjoying with your favourite beverage. Store in an airtight container.
Lavender and Lovage and What Kate Baked and this month's challenge, hosted by Lavender and Lovage, is for French treats. So that's completely within my comfort zone and I can't resist entering this little effort.

This is a brilliant entry Phil and the little biscuits look delicious.ReplyDelete
We pass through this part of France to our little cottage several times a year and always mean to stop and explore. But we just want to get "there" as fast as possible and then on the way home we just want to whizz through and get the journey over with. One day, when we have more time, we will stop and look around and I will remember to look out for the little biscuits.Replies
It might not be the obvious area to go to in France, but if you're keen on nature (especially birds) or moody walks along deserted beaches, then it's definitely worth a visit. And there's good local food to be had too, of course.Delete
Lovely post. I have not noticed those in the boulangerie here, but then I try to keep my eyes averted from all the goodies on the side as I can see the scales tipping while I look at them :-) Take care DianeReplyDelete
what a fun little french fancy... I knew you'd love this challenge... I though it something to do with ladies bits but i'm suitably impressed by the game of draughts...ReplyDelete
wow those cookies look so yummy!ReplyDelete
Simple, elegant and delicious! And interesting to read the etymology too, thanks!ReplyDelete
They look fabulous. I love the idea of spreading them thinly with apricot jam before spreading over the icing, what a great recipe.ReplyDelete
These look great. Love them plain too.ReplyDelete
Have stayed in the Baie de Somme area a few times - lovely lamb and seafood, as you said.Replies
It's not a particularly well known area but I agree that the lamb and seafood are lovely. And then there's the gâteau battu. But that's a story for another day, perhaps.Delete
They look light and tangy Phil, lovely!ReplyDelete
another lovely treat Phil, and your photos are so inviting - and I'd love to visit Bai de Somme!! : )ReplyDelete
Ahhh, an obscure French bake - excellent. Your pictures and descriptions make me want to take the next boat over to France - I haven't visited in many a long year.ReplyDelete
Ah, one of my favourite French bakes and anything that has almonds and lemon in it usually has my undivided attention! A wonderful entry for Tea Time Treats thanks Phil. Karen PS: Lovely photos too.ReplyDelete

Just looked at your showcase of entries. I didn't know this give away was going on. If I had any artistic talent I would enter, but I am hopeless at drawing, etc. so I'm going to step back and admire. How on earth are you going to choose between them! Yikes, would not like to be you right now!ReplyDelete
Well, luckily I don't have to - the drawing option just gives you 10 more entries - which gives you heaps more chance of winning but it's still going to be a randomly selected thing!Delete
But that's why I wanted to give away two clip sets, because the drawings were all so good and I want to give those people more chance on winning :)

On the personal level , there were some changes and events.
Unfortunately a long friendship came to an end. Feeling sad about it but also there's the awareness that this is somehow part of life. But nevertheless something you not easily leave behind.
The lives of our sons was subject to some changes.
Our eldest son got unemployed but happily found himself a new (temporary) job. The youngest stopped (feeling very unhappy) university but eventually started (in good spirits) a new study.
And our middle son moved out .... all in all an emotional time for this mum.
Highlights were surely our family holiday to the South of France and the stay I had with my husband in West-Sussex last Spring.
But also a lot of care concerning my mother who spend a long time in hospital and now (though very fragile) fortunately a while at home.
It gives you food for thought, enjoy life and make your wishes come true.
A big wish of mine came true, because this year I started this blog. What I found scary at first gives me so much pleasure, also due to the heartwarming reactions that surprise me every time.
Considering all I look back on a good and loving year, so count my blessings.
Have this year so many shared with you I would also like to convey my best wishes to you in respect of the new year through my Christmas card this year.
This led up to ....
A large container with moss, cotton rag paper , bookbinding glue, little pearls (beads) and small bells ....
By drying the moss first, I could easily cut small wreaths ....
Then glue the wreaths on the (of the cotton paper torn to size) cards and finished with beads and the little bells ....
Thank you so much for joining me this past year and I do hope we will meet again next year.
But most of all, I want to wish you a warm and loving Christmas and a wonderful and healthy 2014!

Hosting a Party Pre-Parenthood vs. Post-Parenthood
It was the day after our annual Dia de los Muertos party when we found out about Emily. The night before, our home had been filled with people stuffing their faces with spinach balls and guzzling down mimosa punch and a variety of Mexican beers. Strands of skeleton lights lined the bay windows and skulls with glowing eyes were clustered together on the windowsills and the server. It was the first time in a long time I didn't think about the fact that we had been trying to get pregnant for the past three and a half years. That it still hadn't happened.
RELATED: 11 Ways to Achieve Inner Peace as a Mom (It's Possible)
The next day, I took a pregnancy test because I was a week late. I had been waiting for that time of month so we could start another round of IUI. When the test said I was pregnant, I cried and leaked snot all over my husband's shoulder. I couldn't believe it was finally happening.
This year, when we had our party, Emily was 4 months old. Once again, there were people stuffing their faces with spinach balls and guzzling down mimosa punch. Strands of skeleton lights lined the bay windows and skulls with glowing eyes were clustered together on the windowsills and the server.
For me, however, everything was different.
1. The Invite
Pre-Parenthood: On my Facebook invitation, when I list the reasons we are having our party, I write: "We didn't want to compete with all your damn Halloween parties."
GIF via Tumblr
Post-Parenthood: On my Facebook invitation, the snark remains, but I can't help adding a small, mushy bit about "celebrating the moment we knew Emily was finally coming into our lives."
GIF via Cheezburger
2. The Preparation.
Pre-Parenthood: I spend weeks searching for the best possible decorations at Target, Party City and the Dollar Store. I even print out pictures of sugar skulls for my husband and I to color in together. I also put thought into an occasion-appropriate menu and an upbeat playlist.
GIF via Tumblr
Post-Parenthood: Menu? What menu? Why do you think we're having a potluck? Clean? Clean the bathroom? How about I sweep the kitchen floor and call it a day? Playlist? What playlist? Who would even hear it over the noise? I am also exhausted hours before the first guests are even due to arrive, and daydream about canceling everything and instead napping.
GIF via Tumblr
3. The Costume.
Pre-Parenthood: Technically, our annual party is not actually a Halloween party. But I still like to wear a seasonally-appropriate outfit.
GIF via Tumblr
Post-Parenthood: Who the hell cares about my outfit when there is an adorable baby to dress up in an adorable baby costume?
GIF via Kotaku,com
4. The Guest List
Pre-Parenthood: We pride ourselves on drawing a diverse crowd of people who somehow all get along famously.
GIF via Tumblr
Post-Parenthood: We have somehow become a daycare center. A 2-year-old girl tries out the rocking horse in our living room. A 3-year-old boy shrieks at the top of his lungs and then bites my father's arm. My own daughter sobs uncontrollably because we have skipped her bath time.
Image via Tumblr
5. The Conversation
Pre-Parenthood: Loud. Booze-fueled. Ridiculous.
Post-Parenthood: The baby is cranky and overtired because we have dared to schedule a party smack dab in the middle of her usual bedtime. It takes me the better part of three hours to get her to sleep. Unsolicited advice in relation to my parenting abilities occurs throughout those three hours.
GIF via Tumblr
6. The Drama
Pre-Parenthood: Where's my wine at?
GIF via Tumblr
Post-Parenthood: Where's my kid at?
GIF via Imgflip
RELATED: How to Survive a Toddler Birthday Party
7. The End
Pre-Parenthood: Let's be honest. Even pre-parenthood, I tire easily. But I let the stamina of my guests determine the end point of the party.
Post-Parenthood: I start cleaning things up while guests are still there in the hopes that they'll take the hint. When that fails, I straight-up say, "OK! We're going to bed now! Everybody leave!"
Image via Tumblr
Yup. Just call me the queen of all party animals.

Brenda Bingle was getting married and what better way to remember her special day than by creating a sweet little bracelet. What a beautiful bride she did make in her vintage dress, carrying her vintage floral bouquet. Sweet and demure she was pretty as a picture.
I started with this wooden bracelet which was getting old and scratched.
I raided my vintage card stock which I have been building over the years. Most of my cards date from the 1920's to the 1960's.
I cut a template of the wooden bracelet piece which then I used to centre and cut my card stock. For this project I used Mod Podge as I wanted a gloss finish.
I think that Brenda looks divine.
Each wooden piece has a different vintage picture.

Here it is folks, the conclusion to all the crazy that's been going on the island at the end of the world. I'm Doreen, your humble and dead guide to the weirdness that my former co-workers have gotten themselves into.
Julia shot Alan! To be fair though, he was going to shoot her. And now he's complaining about being shot? There's a lot of fucking stupid when the person that pulled the first gun whines about the other one shooting him. Idiot.
Kyle still wants off the island. Sarah does too, as long as she can carry her immortal fetus in the jar. She tells Kyle to pack as much of the cure as he can carry and then heads off to make a "deal with the devil." Which doesn't narrow things down at all!
OMG Landry has a new friend!! Who's just like him! OMG we are gonna have so many sleepovers! Waffles! Ice cream! Killings! Or not, cause Amy's freaked out about her new and horribly disfigured face. But she'll always be beautiful to Landry, her brother, who really does love her in that really gross way between siblings. Not that Amy cares 'cause 'spiteful brat' is her middle name and she vows vengeance on her Immortal sisters. Sweetheart, I don't think you're immortal, but what do I know? Go ahead and test that theory.
Back in the church, Peter wheels Anne and his new stolen baby around. Oh that's right, he's no longer Peter, he's Eli, leader of the cult of crazy. They discover the hole Julia and Alan made in the church floor and are happy about it, 'cause this means the mother tree is still around and their mad schemes can continue! Eli can deliver the root to Ilaria now, instead of Julia. Think of the power and influence they'll be welcomed into 'cause Ilaria can totally be trusted!
Kyle extracts blood from Soren, while making plans for what they'll do once they're off the island. Hey, PlayStation is not a lure if the kid don't know what it is. Plus he's still, you know, grieving over seeing his mother murdered in front of his eyes, while you, Kyle, held him still, so no noise would be made. That's not a good friend and he's so going to kick your ass at Call of Duty 4.
Back in the Future (ha!) Julia wakes up in the bed that Alan is/was laying in (what is this, 12 Monkeys?). That nice fella, Caleb is watching over her. She muses about tables being turned and Alan being stuck in that same bed 30 years ago. I hope they changed the sheets. Then Caleb announces he was on the island 30 years ago too! Jesus, does no one leave the goddamn island permanently?! Seriously people, this is not a happy place, if you leave, stay away! Damn place doesn't even have pizza.
Julia demands to know who Caleb is and why he stole her father's sword. He just reads off the writing on it, which is and RNA sequence and recipe. But not for delicious cookies, but a virus, like oh say DXM-7. Why would Hatake create an immortal-killing disease? Who knows! Why would Hatake keep the mummified corpse of his wife and headless son. Genius moves in mysterious ways! Jules is all upset now and demands answers. Caleb says he'll tell her everything but she needs to answer one question first: "Does she know the way to San Jose?" Because direct answers are so boring!
Back in the present, Eli… no scratch that, I'm calling him Peter, 'cause why feed into his messianic nonsense? Anyway, he's walking through the underground tunnels, when out pops Soren, who stabs him in the leg. See Kyle, was that so hard? You could have done that and Olivia would be still alive. In the process you might have killed Peter/Eli. WIN WIN. But instead we got a pissed off cult leader chasing after Soren, yelling about "You really shouldn't have done that." And he's right. Soren, you should have found a gun!
Landry and Amy find Anne with the stolen baby in the office with the ornate window. Amy brings up the fact that her mom was willing to whore her out to Michael. Anne agrees she messed up there and tries to apologize but disfigured Amy is even crazier than before. She wants the stolen baby. Poor kid, everyone is always stealing him. So off they go and Amy promises she'll kill the wee tyke if Anne follows. Let's just pencil this kid in therapy right now, ok?
Alan wakes up and talks science things about the Mother tree. Even in a sick bed Alan can SCIENCE! He really doesn't want Julia to give it to Ilaria. Ok. Wtf Alan. I don't understand you anymore. You've become a horrible boss. Jules doesn't think she has a choice, what with Ilaria wanting to kill off most of the human race, leaving the world for themselves. Since the Mother tree will let Ilaria sterilize the human race and not kill anyone, isn't that a better idea, though still admittedly insane, idea?
Sarah arrives in the hospital ward, but really doesn't want to in the middle of things. 'Cause really. Instead, she pulls Julia aside and agrees to take her up on that job offer and get the hell off the island. Ha, Julia is the devil she was talking about earlier, but she agrees with the plan. But oh look, in the meantime, Alan's escaped, along with the Mother tree. New Rule everyone! Don't leave the magic tree root alone with someone who doesn't want to go along with the master plan, ok? Especially if he was ready to shoot you a few minutes ago. Just write that down or something, mm'kay?
Amy acts mean to Landry. Some people never change! They decide to leave the baby for someone, to draw them closer, so poor stolen baby just gets left on a cot. Naturally he cries. Amy has that effect on people!
Julia and Sarah (carrying around her immortal baby in a jar in a backpack) are busy looking for Alan, while having philosophical discussions about whether they should have just let him die. Yes, these are the things women who have slept with Alan talk about! They hear the baby crying and go to it, with Sarah setting her backpack full of immortal baby down. But it's a trap! Because the vengeful vessels from below were drawn to the cries of the baby.
The mommbies want the baby, to replace the ones Michael stole from them. Any baby will do, even if its in a glass jar in a backpack. But Sarah asks nicely and mother to mother, a deal is made. The mombbies let them Julia and Sarah go, if they can keep the baby that's not in the jar. WIN WIN! But seriously, find a therapist for that kid.
Kyle finds Soren, who's all "Man, I was following my path." Kyle gets parental, says Soren has to tell him where he is at all times. Soren feels all happy 'cause someone cares about where he is. Awwwwwww.
Back in the church, Alan is moping around remarkably well for someone who was just shot. He's spreading gasoline around, but Peter enters and tells him to stop. And he's got a machine gun to as back up. Which he hits Alan with and then continues spreading gas around, while taunting and kicking his brother. Peter's decided that he has a new family and so he walks out, dropping a lighted match on the floor. Well, so much for Thanksgiving dinners! In the meantime, enjoy this Alan-que!
Kyle packs up vials of the cure, while explaining to Soren that whoever makes the serum gets to name it. He suggests Sorenal, Soren goes with Olivia, 'cause that's his recently deceased mother, remember her Kyle?! But what's that smoke smell? Oh the roof. The roof. The roof is on fire. Meanwhile, the military calls and lets Kyle know they'll be back. They can see the fire also and want the cure. Time to find Sarah and blow this joint!
Amy goes looking for Sarah in the basement, thinking the mommbies are torturing her. But they have other ideas for her. When she calls for help from Landry, he's all 'Fuck you', just grabs the baby and leaves. Meanwhile the mommbies decide to play dentist with Amy and slowly they begin to smile. As much as you can smile sans teeth.
Julia and Sarah spot the burning church. Sarah's all 'but I'm a parent with an immortal non growing baby' and avoids the fire, so Julia heads back in to look for Alan. Peter wheels Anne out and then decides to head back into the fire to find the stolen baby that was stolen from him. Someone is regretting setting a fire now, aren't they?
He comes across Kyle and Soren, rants about being stabbed and what not. Dude, cult leaders don't whine. Anyway, Kyle asks Soren "Did you really do that," Soren shrugs, Kyle tells him "don't do that again" and proceeds to punch Peter. See man, imagine if you had done that while Peter was killing Olivia. Imagine the possibilities!
Outside, Landry brings the baby back to Anne. Then heads off, while Anne, his mother, asks where he's going. He says home. Good on you for saving the baby, but handing it to your mom with her crazy ideas, not a good idea. Then heading back in the fire? You weren't head of the class, were you Landry?
Helicopters arrive, hauling everyone who's left off the island.
In the future, Caleb again asks does she know the way to San Jose. Turns out it's there's a story there. Back when Alan and Julia were dating and traveling, their car broke down. So they needed to get it towed to, wait for it, San Jose. Once there, they stopped by the local City Hall and got married. So yeah, she knows the way to San Jose. But come on now Caleb, who the hell are you? He take out a fake eye, and hey, it's Soren! Didn't see that one coming! He's been wearing a fake eye. What, you never noticed Jules?! And why the hell was Soren wearing a fake eye while alone on the island?
Everyone's off the island, Alan's being rushed into surgery. Kyle hands over the cure, which no one bothers to test, 'cause PLOT. And maybe it cured Kyle. Shrug. Peter and Anne are busy meeting with Ilaria. He's sold the Mother tree to them. And they've forgotten all about Narvik C. In fact, Julia, that never happened. You imagined it. Meanwhile Kyle does turn in all the information he has on "Dr. Farragut". But it was Peter the authorities were after, not Alan! Peter gets arrested as Anne screams tearfully looking on with the stolen baby who really, really needs a therapist and better parents.
Sarah's baby doesn't make it. Or does it? A doctor is shaking his head about someone not making it. Can immortal featuses die?
In the future, Jules realizes Alan and Hatake were behind the creation of DXM-7. After Ilaria used the Mother tree to create the fungus that would sterilize humanity, the two science bros created the virus to kill Immortals. But they also built a cure, which is Caleb's blood. That's why he's hiding out on the island with a fake eye and name change! So he draws a vial of blood from himself and hands it to Julia.
She decides not to take it, 'cause…immortality sucks? WTF? She gets whiny, even as Caleb tries to convince her to live. But all Julia wants at the moment is "To see Alan one more time". Caleb gets this look on his face…
Back in the present, Alan is still in the hospital. He wakes up and pulls off his monitoring equipment and goes to wash his face. When he looks in the mirror, his eyes are silver! He's immortal!
Looks like Sarah saved him, turning the guy who wants to kill all immortals into one. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Fuck you Alan. Fuck. You.
One last trip to the future, the year 2029. As ads for Ilaria produced food play in the background, a woman named Nicole is called into a waiting room. She talks to a bored nurse about her desire for a child. The nurse says it's "a nine month commitment, very rigorous." Well yeah, we know it takes nine months to grow a kid, but it's not rigorous really, what is she talking about it?
Nicole's brought in to see a doctor. She stares, flabbergasted, at the seemingly thousands of pods suspended, Matrix style, in a giant room, and the robotic arm delivering them to Doctor Jordan. Hi Sarah! Love your Ilaria branded lab coat and the way you've recreated Michael's baby-farm, but with robots! You've really learned a lot.
Sooooo, where's Alan and Hatake in 2029?
Lab Report:
I can't even. So Ilaria wins, humanity is mostly sterilized, with strict controls on birthing?
Stolen baby needs an army of therapists. How did he turn out?
Did Landry really die? Did Soren get to play Call of Duty 4?
Are swords the future hard drives?
Too much crazy in this world. I think I need to depart to the next plane of existence. Hopefully it has snacks.

Me and this shirt dress are in the midst of a rather intense love affair. Which is just me trying to make 'I have worn this almost daily this week' sound wayyy more fancy. Over jeans, over shorts, it looks amazing with everything. This particular look came about last week, on one of those sunshiney days we had but already seem like foreverrr ago. It's also pre hair-cut, which happened yesterday and THANK YOU so much for all your lovely comments on the Instagram post! I love it so much, and some proper photos will be coming your way ASAP.
Just before writing this I was looking through my diary to see what's going in next week, and I cannot believe it will be August on Monday!! In my mind the Summer months are always the longest - I don't know if it's because of school holidays, where you have 6-8 weeks ahead of you, 50% of which I spent complaining about being bored. Whereas now, I can't believe we are coming into the last Summer month! When I was younger, Summer always seemed to be something that was held in such high regard or being the best time of the year - what you would fill your holidays with, what you would tell friends when you went back to school in September. This Summer I have done one thing more than anything else; blog. And it's been the best Summer of my life! One half of my loves the pace time is going, because it only feels like this when I am busy and not bored of things. The other half wishes it would slow down a little so I could enjoy it more, and really take stock of how weird my job is, but how much I love it!

Let be a linear transformation of finite dimensional vector spaces. Choose ordered bases for V and for W.
For each j, . Therefore, may be written uniquely as a linear combination of elements of :
The numbers are uniquely determined by f. The matrix is the matrix of f relative to the ordered bases and . I'll use to denote this matrix. Here's how to find it.
I'll use std to denote the standard basis for .
Example. Here are two bases for :
Suppose is a linear transformation such that
Read the description of preceding this example and verify that was constructed by following the steps in the description.
Example. (a) Define by
Find .
Apply f to the elements of the standard basis for , and write the results in terms of the standard basis for :
Take the coefficients in the linear combinations and use them to make the columns of the matrix:
Note that in matrix form,
In other words, is the same matrix as the one you'd usually use to represent f by matrix multiplication.
(b) Let . Define by
Find .
Apply f to the elements of the standard basis for , and write the results in terms of :
Take the coefficients in the linear combinations and use them to make the columns of the matrix:
Here is a description of in words:
If you keep this in mind, change of coordinates will make much more sense.
I'll verify the claim above for one of the basis elements . In terms of ,
This is correct, since , and the representation of in terms of the basis is
The matrix of a linear transformation is like a snapshot of a person --- there are many pictures of a person, but only one person. Likewise, a given linear transformation can be represented by matrices with respect to many choices of bases for the domain and range.
In the last example, finding turned out to be easy, whereas finding the matrix of f relative to other bases is more difficult. Here's how to use change of basis matrices to make things simpler.
Suppose you have bases and and you want .
1. Find . Usually, you can find this from the definition.
2. Find the change of basis matrices and . (Take the basis elements written in terms of the standard bases and use them as the columns of the matrices.)
3. Find .
4. Then
Do you see why this works? Reading from right to left, an input vector written in terms of is translated to the standard basis by . Next, takes the standard vector, applies f, and writes the output as a standard vector. Finally, takes the standard vector output and translates it to a vector.
I'll illustrate this in the next example.
Example. Define by
The matrix above is the matrix of f relative to the standard bases of and .
Next, consider the following bases for and , respectively:
I'll find the matrix of f relative to and . Here's how:
This matrix translates vectors in from to the standard basis:
This matrix translates vectors in from to the standard basis:
Hence, the inverse matrix translates vectors from the standard basis to :
Example. (a) Suppose satisfies
What is ?
Write as a linear combination of and :
The numbers are simple enough that I could figure out the linear combination by inspection.
Apply T:
(b) is a basis for . Suppose satisfies
What is ?
Consider the equations for T above. T is applied to the elements of , and the results are written in terms of the standard basis. Thus,
Since I'm applying T to the standard vector , I have to translate this to a vector to use the T-matrix I found.
Example. Suppose is given by
(a) Find .
(b) Find .
(c) Compute .
This means: Apply T to the vector and write the result in terms of .
Example. Here are two bases for :
Suppose is defined by
(a) Find .
Make a matrix using these coordinate vectors as the columns:
(b) Find .

Seah Kim Joo, another regular participant of the Southeast Asian field trips, drew his inspiration from the traditional medium of batik print. In the I950s, when the Penang-based artist Chuah Thean Teng experimented with representational painting using the batik medium, he drew a following since the manifestation of contemporary themes in a traditional medium was regarded as a direct expression of Nanyang regionalism. It is interesting that Seah brought the pictorial characteristics of Chuah's batik painting back to the oil medium in the 1960s. Log Factory has batik characteristics while Traces of History uses the traditional batik medium to express historic nuances, a quality which also characterises the works of Yeh Chi Wei.

There exist two main types of computer generated imagery with the simplest being the two dimensional computer graphics. This reflects how an artist may make their drawings using a pencil on a piece of drawing paper. However, these are not done by hand anymore. The image is often on the computer screen and the material used for drawing that is used in place of a pencil is the mouse or a tablet stylus. On the part of the produced image, it may appear as having been drawn using a pencil, a pen or a paintbrush depending on the modifications that the computer is used to perform on them. The other is the three dimensional computer graphics in which the screen is made to become a virtual environment in which images are placed for photographing by the computer. In ideal sense, the three dimensional graphics of the computer use what the artists call virtual graphics that help create reality installations of the immersive virtual type while the two dimensional computer graphics make use of the raster type of graphics as the basic source of their data representations. (Coyne, 1995)
There has been an attempt to introduce a third formula to generate artistic images in the two dimensional or the three dimensional forms through the execution of algorithms that have been coded into computer programs. According to art specialists, this would still be a part and parcel of the native art which is basically a form of the computer. However, they have a slight disadvantage in that they cannot be produced without the use of the computer. The examples are quite a variety, ranging from datamoshing, algorithmic art and fractal arts. Moreover, the technology of the dynamic painting also fits into this category of the digital technology. (Bunnell, 1998)

Generation of 3D Still Imagery
These are created through the designing of imagery from the geometric shapes or polygons to three dimensional scenes and objects that can the find use in films, televisions and other special types of visual effects. Further, animated imageries have been able to find their way into the contemporary art practices. For instance, movies have been credited with an extensive use of graphics generated from the cmputer. As early as the 1990s, such kind of computer generated imagery underwent a lot of advancement to the extent that it became technically possible to create a good variety of three dimensional computer animations even though the use of computer images had been in existence especially in the films since the 1970s. To this date, several films that are considered modern have found extensive application of the photo realistic computer generated imagery. (Coyne, 1995).
There is also the digital installation art that has been popular in the contemporary arts practice. Digital installation arts encompass a good variety of activity some of which look like the video installations. These have been possible with the projection techniques that work directly or indirectly to enhance the sensory impressions that the audience gets as the digital installations make an attempt to create an immersive environment. This type of installation is often considered to be site specific, scalable and posses no fixed dimensionality that defines it. This implies that they can be configured afresh to take care of the different spaces of presentation as is typical to that particular artistic work. (Coyne, 1995).

Computation and Digital Code
Digital code is a form of electronic media that involves the storage of data in the digital form. Essentially, it involves the use of hard disc drives and computer networking as the means of storing data like the digital video or the digital arts in general. On the other hand, computation is basically any means of calculations and may be used specifically to imply the use of computer technology to perform information processing. The programs of computational arts have posed quite a challenge to the artists to the extent that they often have to re-imagine the objects as well as the environments by merging the digital technologies. The fact that these technologies can be used to modify the artistic productions means that the artists have been able to produce more fine type of arts than before the emergence of such technology. For instance, it has become possible to give an image a completely different color for its initial color to make it more appealing to the viewer. (Kellner, 2000).
Furthermore, the distribution of this kind of artistic works has become much easier with the emergence of computations as well as the digital codes. This is because they can be sent through the electronic media much easily, often almost instantly. Moreover, the use of the digital codes in particular have made it easy to produce a large mass of artistic work without losing track of one's work as the storage technique works in a quite superb manner. Furthermore, the interaction between the artworks and their potential buyers has become much easier with the introduction of the computing technology. This is because computing often follows a well defined model that is expressed mostly in the algorithm or the network topology. Essentially, Computation can be put into categories depending on whether they are digital or analogue; sequential or parallel and interactive or congruent. This diversity explains its relative significance in the production as well as in the distribution of artworks. (McCullough, 2004).

The idea of digital aesthetics is a real phenomenon in the field of digital technology. As a matter of fact, the television technology developed along the paths that had been founded by the earlier established mass media which were basically the radio and the film. In aesthetic computing in particular, artists, computer scientists and designers have laid the ground for a discipline that uses theoretical knowledge as well as the practical skills of art to the computing technology. It explores the different ways in which art together with aesthetics can be injected into computer science. The main intention of this technology is to modify the area of computer science by bringing in the application of a wide variety of categories that are essentially concerned with the making of artistic works. The interactions between the humans and the computer are projected to be able to increase the usability as well as the emotional state of the users as the new models of learning are expected to emerge. Basically, aesthetic computing or by extension the aesthetic technology approaches its subject from various perspectives. These will include arts, computing, mathematics as well as the interface. Moreover, interactions have also been considered to be an additional perspective. (Marshall, 1999).

Kristen Stewart has apologized to fans and boyfriend Robert Pattinson after snaps which appeared to show the actress kissing her married Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders were made public on Wednesday.
Stewart met Pattinson on the set of the vampire film franchise in 2008 and their onscreen romance quickly spilled over into real life.
But on Wednesday, just days after making a joint appearance at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, new images of the actress cuddling up to Sanders, who has two children with his model wife Liberty Ross, were published in Us Weekly magazine, causing widespread speculation about a potential affair.
And now the 22 year old has confessed to cheating on Pattinson – her boyfriend of more than two years.
A statement released to People.com reads, "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
Sanders has also issued a public apology, stating, "I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."
Ross, who ironically played Stewart's mother in the movie, has since alluded to her heartbreak in a series of posts on Twitter.com, writing, "Wow…Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
Pattinson has yet to comment, but during a recent interview with Italy's Vanity Fair magazine, he tellingly spoke of his inability to ever cheat on a loved one: "Why do people cheat? I can understand the impulse. But not how you can keep two relationships going at the same time for long."
He added, "I'm not the casual-affair kind of guy. If I choose to be with someone, it's because I really want it. When I have a relationship, I'm 100 per cent into it."
While the future of the couple's relationship remains unclear, Stewart and Pattinson will be forced to reunite in November for promotional duties surrounding the final installment of the Twilight series, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.

'The Big Bang Theory' Scores Buzz Aldrin Cameo
Well, when your greatest claim to fame is being the earliest living man to walk on the surface of the moon, what else are you going to do? The last few years have seen a wealth of Hollywood appearances for legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin, popping up in everything from '30 Rock' to 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon,' but will an upcoming appearance on 'The Big Bang Theory' season 6 prove to be the final frontier?
Perhaps some of the most mutually beneficial casting we've heard in years, The Hollywood Reporter has informed us that iconic astronaut and moon-walker Buzz Aldrin has signed up to appear on an upcoming episode of CBS' science-y mega-hit 'The Big Bang Theory.' Aldrin will make a quick appearance in the show's October 25 episode "The Holographic Excitation," of course cameoing as himself.
While 'The Big Bang Theory' has utilized a wealth of both science and science-fiction casting alike over the past five seasons, Aldrin will coincidentally once again be the second astronaut to reach the milestone, given that real-life astronaut Mike Massimino already recurs as himself on the series as part of Howard (Simon Helberg)'s shuttle crew.
Aldrin isn't the only outer-space name associated with upcoming episodes either, as both 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' stars Levar Burton and Wil Wheaton will reprise their roles as themselves in the November 8 episode.
What say you? Could Buzz Aldrin's appearance on 'The Big Bang Theory' be the ultimate casting on either side, topping the below video? What names would you like to see make an appearance on the show?

CBS announced today that it has made several online video distribution deals to AOL, MSN and Joost, among others. CBS is also in talks to have a new NBC Universal-News Corp. venture distribute its shows on a nonexclusive basis.
Google had to be expecting this. According to director of television advertising Michael Steib, the G Poppa doesn't currently have any exclusive deals with content providers who put content on YouTube. Google has simply been saying that YouTube is the biggest single destination for video on the Web, and networks should be excited about getting exposure on the site.
Unfortunately for Google, though, this strategy only works as long as you're the biggest game in town. The problem, as I've noted before, is that Google missed its window to lock down licensing agreements. Whereas last year YouTube was a relatively inelastic product -- high demand, limited supply (i.e., there was only one big site, really, to get video) -- today, YouTube is an elastic product with significant competition.
Now there's Joost, NewCo and other options coming down the pipe. Not to mention that ever since Viacom pulled the plug on their copyrighted videos, YouTube's traffic has only increased. And, a study by video-tracking service Vidmeter recently showed that those 100,000+ clips that Viacom pulled down were only responsible for 6% of YouTube's traffic.
Further reading
So now Google is losing two key elements of its YouTube value proposition: They're not the only game in town, and their users, apparently, don't even like the professional content that much.
As more networks like CBS sign distro agreements elsewhere, Google will find it has to make more concessions to get their business.

Armtrac lose case over Camborne scam site. Wright Hassall proved wrong
Ms Jackson was new to the area when she visited the notorious Trevithick Road car park scam site in Camborne. She had been warned that the wardens were "a bit keen" so was well aware she needed to pay and display. On arriving she could not see any payment machines. She checked the signage but it did not provide any clues. She tried to attract the attention of a motorist sitting in his car, but he did not look up. She then spotted a sign pointing to a pay machine which she followed. She purchased a ticket and displayed it.
She was therefore dismayed to find on return that there was a parking ticket on the windscreen. Apparently she had paid at the wrong machine.
She appealed the charge all the way through the system on 3 grounds
1) The signage was not adequate to bring to the location of the parking meter to the attention of the motorist, and this was therefore a reasonable mistake to make
2) The charge can only be for trespass, and the ParkingEye v Beavis case shows £100 is therefore too large.
3) Armtrac had no rights to issue or enforce charges.
Wright Hassall dismissed the POPLA appeal with a template which did not properly consider any of the issues raised and was so brief as to be useless. They failed to follow the proper POPLA process and allowed Armtrac to submit evidence which the motorist was not provided with. The Prankster therefore has no hesitation in stating that in his opinion this confirms Wright Hassall are incompetent and biased and that Chairman Nick Abell is a disgrace to his profession for letting this go on under his watch. The Prankster warned the British Parking association that this would happen when they contracted a debt collection company working for parking companies to oversee POPLA.
Ms Jackson also disagreed with the Wright Hassall verdict, although perhaps not in those exact words.
Mick Cooke took exception to Ms jacksons non-payment and got the hopeless and amateurish Jamie Ashford, of Gladstones Solicitors, to file something which almost resembled a claim. It is clear to The Prankster that Mr Ashford abused his position by doing no due diligence. A proper solicitor would have warned his client they had no reasonable prospect of success.
The matter then proceeded to a hearing.
The Hearing
There were 3 KBT Cornwall cases block listed for 10am. Ms Jacksons case was heard second. Mick Cooke was apparently 'in the building' and took part in the first claim, but not the other two. Apparently, although he is not worried about 'going to court', this does not extend to actually going into the judge's chambers.
KBT were represented by Ms Gail Ward, an employee. Ms Jackson was represented by the British Motorist Protection Association.
DDJ Whitlock was in the chair and she opened proceedings by asking Ms Ward if she wanted to pursue the whole claim of £70.86, or only the parking charge of £100, dropping the £50 debt collection charge and £20.86 interest.
Ms Ward immediately agreed, which may be a clue as to what happened in the first case.
Most of the time going through both parties witness statements and evidence. Ms Jackson had spent some time putting together a comprehensive set of photos and descriptions, which helped the judge understand the layout of the car park and the poor signage. Gladstones had "helpfully" not provided the court with all of the KBT evidence, so there was some shuttling back and forth to the judges desk with bits of paper.
They had also "helpfully" provided their template witness statement, which did not address the issues raised, and went off on a tangent accusing the defendant of being incompetent in not seeing the signs. Of course, the defendant fully admitted at all stages that she saw the signs; it was just they were not helpful in the least.
Ms Jackson also referred to a newspaper report on Cornwalllive showing that other motorists had made the same mistake and the wardens confirmed this was a common problem.
She also pointed out that warden Scott Taylor s report stated his observation period started at 11:37. Ms jackson purchased her ticket at 11:34 and then had to walk to her car and put it inside the windscreen. it was therefore likely that the warden had seen the whole thing and had therefore failed to mitigate the situation by warning the motorist.
After considering the witness statements and evidence the judge turned to the BMPA representative. She asked him if he had anything to add.
He conceded that the legal arguments all stood or fell with the signage. He summarised that the layout of the car park was confusing; there was no clear delimitation of the car park boundaries; none of the terms and conditions signage stated which car park it referred to and it was not fair to expect a motorist to go round every sign to piece them all together to understand what was going on.
Ms Ward summarised that there was a sign in the car park giving the name of the car park, and that the name of the other car park was on their sign, so a motorist should have realised that was not the correct machine..
The judgment
DDJ Whitford summarised the case. She stated that the KBT witness statement was not particularly helpful, as it did not address the issues, that the defendant evidence showed the pay here sign to be disguised under a hoarding, and that the defendant would in any case have had her back to that sign. She was not satisfied that people would know where the pay machine was. She referred to various photographs in the defendant evidence pack to make her points.
The claimant had not discharged their burden of proof and the claim was dismissed.
Ms Jackson was awarded her full costs, to be paid within 14 days.
Prankster Note
The hearing shows the value of creating a good bundle, with a witness statement laying out the points, and referring to evidence by page number. Ms Jackson spent some time taking good photographs to illustrate her points, putting together a bundle, and numbering pages for ease of reference for the judge.
In contrast, the hapless Jamie Ashford sent off his usual incompetent tripe on behalf of Mick Cooke. Half the evidence never even reached the judge. The rest was a template not relevant to the case, and with wild flights of fancy and bogus legal arguments. In one statement Mr Ashford even accused Ms Jackson of being there on business instead of going shopping. It is not known why he would make this accusation or what facts Mr Ashford had in his possession to come to this conclusion when he wrote the statement on behalf of Mick Cooke. The Prankster suspects none. Sadly this is all too typical of the standards of Jamie Ashford's department in Gladstones.
The Prankster expects better of the legal profession. Solicitors should not make up things on behalf of their clients.
Happy Parking

How come this case went through POPLA but the one below went through the incompetent Hurley and Co?ReplyDeleteReplies
Can I contact you, I work in intensive care at a hospital monitored by the notorious CEL,
They have really caused me a lot of stress lately.
They ignored all my appeal letters and passed 8 fines on to Hassalls.
The photo they sent me when I demanded evidence was clearly doctored with MS paint - sharp pristine borders, writing through leaves - but no date, time, etc.
Some of the parking fines a ludicrous. For example, I have a staff permit and they still fine me for parking in the staff zone, when I demand proof they tamper the photos with fake public parking.
What should I do next.
1) write back and refuse to accept the photos as evidence as they have tampered with the photos.
2) Inform the police, and ignore Hassall
3) Inform the Trust
4) All for of the above.
because the BPA passed this old case to Wright Hassall after old cases were stayed for the Beavis case and Armtrac was a BPA member at the time but has since moved to the dark side IPCReplyDeleteReplies
Ta. Hadn't thought of that option.Delete
Out of the whole article I am wondering one thing... Was there an imagined or real reason that being there on business and not as a shopper made any difference to the case?ReplyDelete
Presumably trying to negate any discussion relating to consumer protection legislation. If the person was acting in a business capacity they are not a consumer.ReplyDelete

Digital Education | News
The University of Michigan (U-M) has added an Office of Digital Education and Innovation (DEI) in an effort to help faculty use technology and digital programs more creatively.
"The University of Michigan has this opportunity to really differentiate and refine what it means to be a great public research university in an age fueled by technology, fueled by connection, fueled by evidence and analytics," said James Hilton, vice provost for digital education and innovation, in a prepared statement.
An attempt to centralize efforts currently spread across the institution, the office will provide "the resources and support for faculty to experiment with programs, technology, digital communities, learning analytics and other innovative means, as they lead the way in transforming higher education," according to a news release.
Tim McKay, a physics professor at U-M, is a member of the new office's advisory group, chair of an analytics task force and creator of an analytics tool for large introductory classes that he says is an example of why the DEI is needed.
"Take ECoach" Said McKay, in a prepared statement. "We created a tool and used it first in physics. Then we found a few more classes that let us explore the challenges of meeting different needs, without being too overwhelming. Interest has grown, and now we're ready to use it in 20 different places on campus with 10 different variations. And that's getting too big for me to manage."
"All of this emerged organically," added McKay. "What DEI can do is bridge that gap between innovation and infrastructure. We'll have in this resource the expertise to translate something from a tool used in an enthusiast class to university wide use. Part of the work of the DEI will be to develop, support and foster enthusiasm for these approaches."
DEI will work with the Unizin Consortium, a group of four research universities focused on influencing the digital learning landscape. The non-profit consortium offers member institutions cloud-based infrastructure services using open technology standards. Other members of Unizin include Colorado State University, Indiana University and the University of Florida, with more institutions joining in the near future, according to information on the organization's site.
"Among other goals, Unizin will provide a common digital infrastructure that will allow universities to use the most innovative technology available today," according to information released by U-M. "It will allow faculty to store and share material while maintaining intellectual property control, and will provide students with a wealth of online material, delivered in a variety of formats."
Other partnerships that will be managed through DEI include those with Coursera, a MOOC platform that U-M has worked with since its launch in 2012, and NovoEd, an online course platform with an emphasis on collaboration.
"One of the clear strengths of the University of Michigan is our institutional ethos that embraces experimentation. Through leadership in curricular innovation, learning analytics and digital infrastructure at scale we enable engaged, personalized and lifelong learning for the entire Michigan community," said James DeVaney, assistant vice provost for digital education and innovation, in a prepared statement. "Our approach to digital education and innovation is both scholarly and practical."
More information about DEI is available at digitaleducation.umich.edu.

As you can see, I went out of character and bought three paperbacks on kind of a whim. I mean, when the kindle copy is $10.99 and the paperback is $7, you kind of let logic guide your mouse, lol. These three have been on my to-read list for what feels like millennia, so the fact that they should be arriving in a few days has me feeling like:
And with new books to read, that means I'll finally be able to post some reviews again. And that makes me want to get down like my friend Napoleon here.
Comment below if any of these titles are on your to-read list, or if you've already had a crack at one or all three. I'd love to know what you thought of it/them!

I still remember the day that I decided to move to Hong Kong. At that time, I was working in Silicon Valley. The thought of moving around the world to a different continent and adjusting to an entirely different culture and new language was exciting and exhilarating and at the same time daunting.
I was excited about the opportunity to move to Hong Kong because I knew I was entering uncharted territory from a VC perspective. In 2007, I embarked on my voyage across the Pacific Ocean and became head of VantagePoint Asia, which backs early stage tech companies and represents $4B in committed capital. In 2013, I decided to open my own VC firm along with my partner, Wei Hopeman. It was a major step to leave an established, international company and launch a new firm. Also, I had the choice between the conventional and unconventional path--moving back to the US to start a VC firm or being one of the pioneering VC firms in Asia.
Below are the top three reasons why I took the unconventional approach and launched a business in Asia:
Asia is experiencing a major technology and venture capital shift.
Tech startups and VC firms are experiencing rapid growth in Asia, yet the market is still young and untapped. Pan Asia, sans China, offers interesting investment opportunities because infrastructure investing is still growing and entrepreneurs are evolving. It is fertile ground for VC firms to identify outstanding entrepreneurs and help them build their companies. Working with early stage startups is a challenge, which is what drives me everyday. I enjoy being in Asia at the forefront of change and the ability to work with interesting companies in diverse cultures. Additionally in Asia, there are more interesting investment verticals, while Silicon Valley venture investing is more concentrated on fewer sectors.
We founded Arbor Ventures to have a significant impact on the intersection of financial services and digital commerce as well as invest in companies that are immersed in fast-growing, transformational markets.
FinTech/FinServ companies are on the rise.
For the first time, Asia's population is moving away from cash-based commerce to an online / mobile payment society dominated by Millennials, who envision their world very differently from previous generations. Instead of following in their parents' traditional career paths, these young, well-educated people are choosing an alternative path and creating unique tech startups to fit their perception of the market needs. Today, there is a growing need for capital in the region. It is estimated that by 2030, Asia will have 66% of the world's middle class with mobile phone penetration in excess of 125% dominated by Millennials.
Asia's investment community needed female leaders.
We are proud that Arbor Ventures is the first female-led VC firm in Asia. The tech industry worldwide has historically been male-dominated. While more females are joining the tech workforce, the percentage is still just 25 percent. This is a tragically low number because women are well suited for the VC industry. They offer a balanced voice to boards and a different perspective regarding product adoption and marketing. In Asia, approximately half of the population are women. These women are active in the workforce and control the household funds, so it is just common sense to have a woman's perspective when designing a product and launching a company that targets this group.
Is starting a business abroad right for you?
Many of my American friends have asked for my counsel regarding whether or not they should take jobs or start companies abroad. It's a hard road and not for everyone, but it's been the most rewarding eight years of my career.

Rihanna is a $15 million baby
According to Forbes.com, Bajan superstar Rihanna made $15 million last year from her Good Girl Gone Bad re-release, tours and from her Gucci and Covergirl contracts.
I don't know if that's gross or net, because we know our girl has to pay her sylist, her bodyguard, her managers and for all those hotel stays. Hopefully she'll still come out of it with a pretty penny.
Anyhoo, Rihanna's been on the move recently, being snapped on her way to lunch, dinner, you name it. The sidewalk is her catwalk these days. Good thing she has a bodyguard, cause someone might jack her for those $2,000 shoes....

It was the best of times it was the blurst of times??!! The Patriots 1993-94 season
at 5:57 PM Posted by BCHysteria
Expectations were started to get high in New England, they had a great end of the season in 1993, Drew Bledsoe was showing flashes of greatness, they were under the helm of the venerable jolly Bill Parcells and finally someone bought the team. Enter Robert Kraft.
King Robert
Kraft grew up in Brookline and was a season ticket holder of the Patriots since 1972, and saved the team from moving to St. Louis. Many think at the time thought that Kraft overspent when he bought the Pats for 175 million since the team (the most ever at the time) had been a financial disaster for the past twenty years. When he bought the team, Kraft promised fans that he would keep the team in Boston, win a Super Bowl, and build a state of the art stadium for the team. Hindsight shows he was right on, but in 1994 the media thought Kraft was nuts. The fear that the Patriots were leaving Boston was finally going away.
Drew Bledsoe, and the turn around of a franchise
Drew Bledsoe had possibly one of the best single seasons in the history of the NFL, with monster numbers that at the time shattered every Patriots record. He threw for 4555 yards, 25 TDs, and completely turned around the Patriots season against the Vikings. The Patriots were stuttering and playing like shit, they had dropped the past four games and hadn't scored more than 17 points during that span. Drew "The Fucking Man" Bledsoe took the season over during the halftime of that game shattering records for most completions in a game (45) and attempts (70), as the Pats knocked the V-Men to the curb 26-20. All of a sudden the Patriots, started winning, and finished off the improbable season by winning the last six games. It takes some solid concentration to remember that Drew was one of the best QB's of his time, because his last few years with the Pats were so pathetic, and he was bad with the Bills and Cowboys, But I digress, finally the Patriots were going to the playoffs, for the first time since the Super Bowl. Fuck yes, life was sweet again.
The Bad
The Patriots were lined up for a first round match up against the maligned Bill Belichick and the Cleveland Browns. Excitement was again returning to Massachusetts, we no longer had to hide our heads in shame when talking about the Pats. The game began as the Patriots took an early lead when Bledsoe hooked up with Leroy Thompson for a 5 yard TD catch, but the Browns quickly responded when Mark Carrier scored on a Vinny Testaverde pass. Things began to look bleak for the Patriots until a Matt Bahr field goal brought them within a touchdown. The Pats recovered the onside kick, but four Drew Bledsoe incompletions turned the ball over and that cheating fuck Belichick moved on to the next round of the playoffs.
Welcome to Boston, Willie & Troy
Pats fan can look to 1994 as the beginning of a winning franchise ( I hate that D word that tWWL throws around). Starting with Bledsoe the season before, the Pats began to make excellent moves in the draft, and 1994 was no different. Troy Brown coming out of Marshall and Willie McGinest a stand out from USC were both drafted and brought in, McGinest making an immediate impact on defense, and Brown as the Punt returner.
Movie of the Year Forrest Gump.
When I was 13, I thought this movie was the shit, and as I watched I prayed I could find a freak bitch like Jenny. I was young, I thought she was hot, she liked to give it up and was crazy. And hell if a guy like Forrest, who was pretty much retarded could nail her, why couldn't I? But an interesting question remained in my pubescent mind, would I have sex with a chick who was hooked on all sorts of drugs? Thank christ I decided that no, drugged up whores were not going to be in my future. Now look at me I'm AIDS free, and happy, though a part of me wonders what nailing a chick like that would be like. I'm going to guess messy.
Top Song of the Year -The Sign- Ace of Base. I hated Ace of Base, they were a band of women that sang crappy music to crappy beats, that were all over radio. I knew nothing about this group, other than my blinding hate of them, until I did a little research and found out that one of the band members Ulf had been part of a racist white power group named "Commit Suicide" before joining Ace. Ponder that for a minute, this wimpy pop rock group recruited a musician from a group that spread hate and wished death upon others. That is quite a change in lifestyle there. To change modes here, Kurt Cobain also ended his life in April, and left his miserable shit of a widow behind to ruin his good name. Is she even still alive?
