What happened in the Epsilon Boötis affair?
That’s a big change in topic – but then, it was a big change of direction in my writing life. One of the early participants in the “Man and the Stars” discussions was the late John Macvey, author of “Journey to Alpha Centauri” and a string of later books. He drew attention to the suggestion by Prof. Ron Bracewell, of Stanford University, that a probe from another civilisation had tried to contact us, using long-delayed radio 'echoes' (LDE's), first reported in the 1920's.
Actually, the 'echoes' were much too powerful to be simple reflections of signals from Earth. Experimenters studying round-the-world propagation of radio waves found their outgoing pulses were being returned to them with a delay of three seconds, as if they were being amplified and returned by something at the distance of the Moon - but definitely not the Moon itself. In later experiments the delay times began to vary upwards from three seconds, in increasingly complicated sequences, but with no variation in intensity - still indicating a single source amplifying and returning the pulses.
Prof. Bracewell suggested in 1960 that the 'echoes' might have been rebroadcast by an unmanned probe from another civilisation, trying to attract our attention, and in 1972 I worked out a 'translation' of the 1920's echo patterns. The variations of delay times appeared random; but Prof. Bracewell himself had suggested the first signal from such a probe might be a star map, and the stars are spaced at random in the sky. I tried plotting the delay times against the order in which the echoes were received, and at only the second attempt I found what looked like a star map - in which it appeared that the probe had come from the double star Epsilon Boötis, in the constellation Boötes, the Herdsman. Arcturus, the brightest star in the constellation, seemed to be out of place in the map; but on checking, was shown at its place about 13,000 years ago. I was on the train from Glasgow to Troon when I roughed out the graph and recognised what it appeared to be: it was as fast as, “That looks more like an intelligent signal, in fact it looks familiar, and I know what that is.” That was the moment when my writing career swung from fiction to nonfiction.
Other parts of the supposed message seemed to give the scale of their planetary system, orbiting Epsilon Boötis A, and seemed at first to make sense. Epsilon Boötis A is an orange giant star, and the translation indicated that the probe makers had evolved on its second planet, emigrating later to the sixth when their sun began to expand. But there was a problem: the companion star (Epsilon B) was bright blue, apparently a short-lived sun of spectral type A2. The distance given for the star in most reference books was too low, and at the true distance of 203 light-years, Epsilon B really was an A2 star and the orange giant Epsilon A had been an AO, like Sirius - too massive and with too high a radiation output to sustain habitable planets, too short-lived for life to have evolved there. At the same time, more accurate 1920's records were located, and most of the 'star map' translations were ruled out - not the 'Epsilon Boötis' one, but it too had to be treated as suspect. I withdrew the entire translation, but now it seems I may have gone too far.
Dropping it didn't rule out the space probe suggested by Prof. Bracewell (though he later abandoned the idea). James Strong of the British Interplanetary Society suggested that the probe could be located in either the 'Lagrange 4' or 'L5' point, also called 'Trojan' or 'Equilateral' points, equidistant from the Earth and Moon. The dates and times of the 1920's LDE's showed that the L5 point was at least one source of the effect. Anthony Lawton of the BIS suggested that in ideal conditions the Trojan points could form temporary, stable ionospheres of their own which would generate LDE's; it was reported that I accepted that, but scientists I consulted replied that such clouds would be disrupted by currents in the Earth's magnetosphere, or at other times of the month by the Solar Wind, the constant outflow of charged particles from the Sun. In any case, as the Lagrange points have no gravitational fields of their own, a cloud of charged particles would be scattered by their mutual electrostatic repulsion - unless there was a powerful magnetic or electrostatic field to hold them in place. If this was produced by a spacecraft, I suggested, Lawton might have hit upon the method by which the Bracewell probe generated LDE's - by accident!
Many books and articles said that Lawton conducted an active radio search for LDE's, but in reality he stopped after getting an initial 'reply', on the grounds that further transmissions "would constitute a biased experiment". Optical searches of the Lagrange points failed to find anything as large as the Skylab space station, or, in a later search, as large as the Pioneer 10 space probe. Meanwhile, however, Epsilon Boötis just would not lie down.
There are several real or suggested Zodiacal star maps, laid out on the ground, which centre on Boötes. That's just because the constellation lies near the pole of the Ecliptic, perpendicular to the Earth's orbital plane around the sun, so any Zodiacal map will be centred near it. But also, we are in Boötes as viewed from Tau Ceti, one of the nearest stars like our Sun, and at relativistic speeds, Epsilon Boötis would be a prime navigational reference on the journey here. And there was an even stranger development.
After "Man and the Stars" came out, I was contacted by Alan Evans, who was then a Captain in British Military Intelligence. He liked the analysis I'd made of Erich von Däniken’s claims, where I concluded that Earth had not been visited more than four times, at most. Alan suggested we jointly attempt something still more systematic: if the Earth had ever been visited, our aim would be to find proof. He stressed that his was purely a personal interest, which had to remain confidential, but as he's since left the Army that no longer applies.
We tightened up my approach into four categories of possible evidence. Category A would be our objective, an artefact of unquestionably extraterrestrial origin. Category B would be optical or electromagnetic anomalies pinpointing such an object (like the Tycho monolith in 2001); Category D would be the 'von Däniken material' of legends, drawings etc. which were no use except in suggesting areas to search for other types of evidence. But Alan pressed me to include a new category, C, which would be anomalous astronomical alignments in man-made structures - anomalous because they revealed knowledge which the builders should not have had. For example, on high-resolution photographs of Stonehenge, he had identified markings which seemed to indicate galactic alignments.
I wasn't impressed at first. Having studied megalithic astronomy under Archie Roy, I’d seen nothing unusual; there was no correlation even with Category D; and when I did the calculations, the markings Alan had found didn't seem to be galactic. At the time when he put this to me, circa 1975, it was supposed that Stonehenge I was built in 1800 BC, near the end of the Stone Age in Britain (not many people realise that Stonehenge was one of the last megaliths), with Stonehenge III, the inner circle, still later in the Bronze Age. Soon afterwards, however, Archie Roy himself published an article from which we learned that the radiocarbon dating scale had been revised, pushing Stonehenge I back from 1800 BC to 2700 BC. Further revision made it c.2840 BC, and that radically changed the whole position.
To cut to the chase, the photographs show markings in Stonehenge 1 which are lined up with the rising point of the Galactic Centre, and the intersection of the Galactic Equator with the Ecliptic – and you can’t determine galactic coordinates without a radiotelescope. The declination of the North Galactic Pole was equal to the latitude of Stonehenge, so when the Galactic Centre rose, the Galactic Equator coincided with the horizon, the Galactic Pole was overhead, and all the altitudes and azimuths measured from the Pole-to-Centre meridian were equal to galactic coordinates. It looks as if Stonehenge 1 was built round something, and if that something was a starship, or a lander from one, its attitude control platform would be lined up with the sky once a day.
But that’s not the end of it. Alan has an amazing intuitive grasp of spatial relationships, and he’s spotted that the diagonal across two of the lunar stones in Stonehenge 1 is an Ecliptic meridian, activated once a day. It meets the equator at the prime meridian of the great pyramids, built shortly after Stonehenge 1, and when we checked, the same two galactic alignments are built into the Step Pyramid and the Great Pyramid, the first and the last of them. Alan just looks at a globe or a site plan and sees these relationships, I take pages of calculations to check them – but then you can go to a planetarium and see them for yourself. We verified the galactic and ecliptic ones at the planetarium in Jewel and Esk College, twice, then John Braithwaite and I verified them at Armagh Planetarium (more about John below). We also verified something else extraordinary. Because you can’t see the Galactic Pole etc, I looked for a star which could be an optical marker for it, and it turned out that c.2800 BC that star was Epsilon Boötis.
The First Time of ancient Egypt, according to Graham Hancock and Robert, was c.10,500 BC, coinciding with the apparent date of the LDE ‘Boötes map’. So we had the planetarium projector reset to Giza at the time of the Pyramids, verified the alignments of “The Orion Mystery”, and then reset the date to the First Time. Sure enough, the Galactic Pole went through the zenith and the Milky Way lined up with the Horizon, just as at Stonehenge 1 eight thousand years later. So on impulse we went back to Stonehenge, which was just on the edge of the ice sheets then, and let the sky wheel on through the day – and Epsilon Boötis went through the zenith. 8000 years later, when they built Stonehenge 1, it was back there.
This isn’t proof that Earth has been visited. If Category A evidence stands for ‘artefact’, Category B for ‘beacon’ and Category D for ‘Däniken’, Category C stands for ‘circumstantial’. But we aren’t talking about one astonishing coincidence here, we’re talking about one astonishing coincidence piled upon another, over and over again, until the only sensible conclusion is that all this has been very carefully planned to signpost the fact that we have indeed been visited, at least once, maybe twice or more. And apparently Epsilon Boötis had some major significance to whoever came here.


The Irish Museums Association is delighted to announce that Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, will be delivering the prestigious Annual James White Memorial Lecture on Wednesday, 11 November, 6pm, at the National Gallery of Ireland.
Craftmanship - a word to start an argument?
The word 'craft' has many different meanings - too many - and as a result often becomes a thought-preventer. It now covers a very wide spectrum from traditional rural crafts to the latest sculptural objects in galleries; craft touches design, and also touches fine art. This illustrated lecture will explore some of these meanings, and will argue that now is an excellent time to set aside differences and energetically to promote the importance of making things.
An educationalist, writer and broadcaster, Professor Sir Christopher Frayling is a former Chairman of Arts Council England and of the Design Council (UK), a former trustee of the V&A, and a governor of the British Film Institute. He was Rector and Vice-Provost of the London's Royal College of Art until 2009, is Chancellor of the Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), and serves on the Advisory Council of the Burren College of Art, Co. Clare. He is well known in the public sphere for his writings on cinema, specifically the Spaghetti Western genre, as a writer and presenter of TV programmes such as The Face of Tutankhamun and Strange Landscape: Journey through the Middle Ages. With a wide output as a writer and critic, in 2011 he published On Craftmanship: towards a new Bauhaus.
On announcing details of this prestigious event in the Irish museum sector's calendar, Brian Crowley, Chair of the Irish Museums Association, commented "This dynamic administrator and cultural historian has helped lead and revitalise some of the most important cultural institutions in the UK. A strong advocate for the arts and creative industries, Professor Sir Christopher Frayling has tirelessly campaigned to persuade the broader public that the arts matter. The value of the arts and culture is an issue that the Irish Museums Association champions and strives to address in events such as the James White lecture. This lecture provides a platform for international cultural leaders to engage with the general public each year. We need to ensure that culture remains on local and national government agendas and is recognised as a vital part of contemporary Irish society and a significant contributor to our economy."
The Annual James White Memorial Lecture, now in its 14th year, is held each Autumn in memory of Dr James White, one of the founders of the Irish Museums Association and former Director of the National Gallery of Ireland (1964-1980). It provides a forum for some of the most influential national and international contemporary museum professionals to speak on matters relating to museums. Previous guest speakers include Philippe de Montebello, Metropolitan Museum of Art; Dr Penelope Curtis, Tate Britain; Neil McGregor, Director, British Museum; and Mark Jones, Victoria & Albert Museum.

Most people know turmeric as a primary spice in curries. The FDA considers it a "food color additive" for it's bright yellow-orange color.
For thousands of years, turmeric has been recognized for its healing properties. Studies show benefits for turmeric and its active component, curcumin, as an anti-inflammatory, in treating arthritis, slowing the growth of cancer, protecting against liver damage, and even protecting against Alzheimer's.
Some sources say that big pharma tried to get the FDA to change the classification of turmeric and call it a drug. What does that tell you?
- Bring four cups of water to a boil.
- Add one teaspoon of ground turmeric and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
- Strain the tea through a fine sieve into a cup, add honey and/or lemon to taste.


An alien ship is orbiting around Earth, and after investigating from afar, NASA has decided to send a couple of astronauts to make contact. After boarding the ship, they've discovered all of the aliens are dead, and now that the astronauts have been exposed to whatever killed the crew, NASA must decide whether they can come home or not.
That's the synopsis of Del Mar author Woodrow Wilson's latest book, 'Dead Astronauts.' Wilson, a Caltech Ph.D. with a career in research and development — including military and intelligence applications of space, pulled on his many years as a scientist for the plot of his new book. Here, he sheds some light on how he developed these extraterrestrial characters, and whether he thinks we really have reason to worry about alien invaders or not.
How did you make the transition from the science world to the literary world?
This book is the result of some deep contemplation, just looking at stars and saying to myself: 'How would anyone get here?' Even at a hundred times the speed of the Apollo mission, the journey to get here would be a thousand years. A lot could go wrong in that time, and in this case, it does. I wanted to explore the possibility of aliens coming here, but the science behind it is all real, some of it is an extrapolation, but it's all real. I've even deeply disguised some quantum mechanics in this story.
All the science may be real, but how did you conjure up your fictional aliens?
I didn't want to look at TV or movies for inspiration because all of the aliens portrayed look like humans. They don't have enough money to make them very alien, so they dress them up and give them pointy ears, and they end up looking like guys in rubber suits. I don't' think other intelligent life beings would necessarily follow our template. Look at dolphins: they don't look much like you or me. Or look at giant squids, another intelligent being, and they look even less like us. For this book, I decided that these aliens came from a liquid planet, and they were interested in Earth because we were the nearest planet with water. So, I went with the squid model. And I didn't just create aliens, I create an entire world where they came from. So when the astronauts board their ship, they explore quite a bit. Being from a liquid planet [the aliens] eat seafood, so these astronauts run into fish farms.
Where did the inspiration for your human characters come from?
Characters always start out as someone you know, but over a period of time they grow. You synthesize these characters and by the time you're done, they're not the person you knew in the first place. These characters are a totally new person that you know so well because you just spent a year with them inside your head.
Stephen Hawking, the famed cosmologist and black hole expert, warns mankind about alien visitors. Do you agree with him?
I don't agree with Hawking on that. I don't think Earth has anything worth the time and energy it would take to come and get it. If we did, aliens couldn't detect it. Even from the nearest star, it would take superb optics just to see Earth as a dot. They couldn't resolve it into a picture. Spectroscopy could tell them we have air and water here. That's about it. They couldn't detect life here — much less tell that we taste like chicken. The spoils of raiding the planet wouldn't be worth the cost of getting here.
What book are you working on next?
My next book will likely be a medical fiction. I did a lot of medical research where I was involved in developing ways to defend against biological attacks, so again, I'm pulling from that. This next story will include subplots on anthrax—and, of course, there will be a twist, because it wouldn't be any fun if there wasn't a twist.
, and from most on-line book dealers.
Wilson, who is also an accomplished Toastmaster, will also lead a free youth program at the Solana Beach Library beginning Oct. 12. During this Toastmaster-sponsored program, middle school students will learn public speaking and leadership. For more information, call the Solana Beach Library at (858) 350-7877.


Can you register domain names free?
Is it possible to register domain names free? Yes and no.
There are two means to getting a free domain name. One way I don't recommended and I'll explain that below. The other way is the better way to get it for free which is with your web hosting.
Yes, you can get domain names free, but they aren't exactly like paid domain names.
The only type of free domains you can get that cost absolutely nothing are called subdomains.
Note: Not all subdomains are used for this purpose. But in this particular article, I'm referring to subdomains issued to another for free in order to host a separate website. Not the kind of subdomains you can setup under a paid and solely owned domain.
Free subdomains are where one company allows you, another party, to use an extension of their main domain name as part of your own. Normally, they benefit from you using their domain name in the form of free advertising.
Reason 1: If you take your business seriously and want others to do the same, don't use a free subdomain name. It looks unprofessional because it gives the connotation that your business isn't doing well enough to afford something that costs roughly $10-$15 per year.
It's really a small price to pay to look professional and trustworthy.
Reason 2: Subdomains from a third-party company are never really your property... technically they own it.
When the day comes where you want to move on, you have to leave the whole name behind because you own no part of it. You should always have ownership of your site and be in control.
Besides, when you use sub domains you are subtlety promoting another business... and that's why they let you use them for free.
There's only one way to legitimately get a free domain name. Web hosting companies usually offer a free domain name if you purchase a year of hosting.
If you're about to register a domain name and will eventually build a website within the next 6 months to a year, then your best bet is to go ahead and get web hosting at the same time.
That's because you can't have a live WordPress site without some kind of hosting.
Simply do a web search for hosting companies and check out their rates. Some show in their hosting packages that the domain is included for the first year, or every time you renew your yearly hosting service.
Free domain name registration is included with any of their business plans.
InMotion Hosting's service has been reliable for me. I've used other hosting companies in the past that were slower and let me down.
If you're interested, check them out.
19% OFF Coupon - Get a .com for only $8.88. For a limited time!
If you aren't ready to spend money on hosting in order to get a domain name free. And you don't want to settle for a subdomain name, the best thing to do is buy a cheap domain name.
You can get a fairly cheap domain name at NameCheap.com. They throw in free domain privacy with their domains. So you're getting a pretty good deal with them.

Question 1 What do you mean by refining of petroleum?
Question 2 What is the full form of LPG?
Question 3 Name the petroleum product used to drive heavy vehicles?
Question 4 Name the petroleum product used in jet aircrafts engines?
Question 5 Name the petroleum product used in electric generators?
Question 6 Name the petroleum product used for surfacing of roads?
Question 7 Name the various products of petroleum refining?
Question 8 Give one use each of petroleum refining product?
Question 9 Name the major constituent of LPG?
Question 10 What are the advantages of using LPG?
The crude petroleum oil is a complex mixture of solid,liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons.
So before petroleum can be used for specific purpose,it has to be refined or purified.
The process of separating crude petroleum oil into more useful fractions is called refining.
The refining of petroleum into different fractions is based on the fact that the different fractions of petroleum have different boiling point.
The refining of petroleum is carried out in an oil refinery.
The crude petroleum oil extracted from oil wells is taken to the oil refinery through pipes.In the oil refinery,crude petroleum is oil is refined into different useful fractions.
The separation of petroleum into different fractions is done by fractional distillation.The various useful fractions obtained by the refining of petroleum are:Petroleum gas,petrol,kerosene,diesel,lubricating oil,paraffin wax,Bitumen.
2)Petrol:It is used a fuel in light motor vehicles.It is also used as a solvent for dry cleaning.
3)Kerosene:It is used as a fuel in wick stoves and pressure stoves to cook food.It is used in lanterns for lightning purpose.
4)Diesel:It is used as a fuel in heavy motor vehicles.It is also used to run pump sets for irrigation in agriculture and in electric generators.
5)Lubricating oil:It is used for lubrication in machines and engines.
6)Paraffin Wax:It is used for making candles,vaseline,ointments,wax paper and grease.
7)Bitumen:It is used for road surfacing.It is also used for water-proofing the roofs of building.It is used in making black paints.
The most common fuel used in homes is liquified petroleum gas(LPG).The petroleum gas which has been liquified under pressure is called liquified petroleum gas.It consist mainly of butane.Thus the domestic gas cylinders like Indane contain mainly butane.
The gas used for domestic cooking is called liquified petroleum gas because it is obtained from petroleum and it is liquified by compression before filling into the gas cylinders.When we turn on the knob of the gas cylinder,the pressure is released,due to which the highly volatile LPG is converted into gas.Gas goes into the burner of LPG stove.When a lighted matchstick is applied to the burner,the gas burns with a blue flame producing a lot of heat.
2)It has high calorific value.Due to this,a given amount of LPG produces a lot of heat.
3)It burns with smokeless flame and hence do not cause air pollution.
4)It does not produce any poisonous gas.
5)It does not leave behind any solid residue on burning.

How do you show your co-workers the importance of communication in the workplace?
The interviewer would like to know that you lead by example when it comes to communication in the workplace. Breakdown of communication in a business setting can have dire effects on the profitability of an organization. This effect is why it is essential, as a leader, to understand that 'telling' and 'showing' are two very different things when it comes to proper communication. Give examples of how you put dialogue into action in the workplace.
"I show my co-workers the importance of communication through my willingness to ask questions if I do not understand the first time. I do not pretend to know something to save face. By creating an environment where questions are encouraged, we have increased communication greatly, and have seen a healthier safety record as a result."
"I show my co-workers the importance of communication in the workplace simply from leading by example. I set the tone and expectations for how we should communicate by utilizing all forms of written, verbal and interpersonal communications to a tee."
"I show the importance of communication through a team building exercise that I like to use, whenever possible. Some of my favorite team building exercises include taking my team out for lunches, holding office trivia, and creating physical goal-setting roadmaps."
"In marketing, we have to communicate every small detail of our projects. I encourage this with my team by asking everyone to use Trello, a project management app that tracks our progress and needs, every step of the way. It's like web-based sticky notes!"
"Many customer service issues stem from poor communication. When we have a customer dispute, I work with my team to explore other alternatives. We often role play and discuss ways that we could have reacted better. This practice has greatly improved our customer reviews."
"As a sales professional, our inter-office communication means more sales and happier clients. The analytics don't lie! I encourage my team to communicate even the details that seem minute. These details can help us to upsell or gain further insight into our clients' current pain points."
"When we communicate the needs and struggles of our students, between teachers, it helps everyone to be more successful. I am sure to always fill my faculty in on students who may be struggling with a particular subject. We can then gather to make a game plan that benefits the student."
How do you handle communicating bad news to a fellow worker or subordinate?
The interviewer would like to know if you can adequately handle being the bearer of bad news. One of the toughest parts of communication can be delivering bad news to people with whom you work. Whether it is providing a less than favorable work review, or terminating someone, it doesn't come easy. Assure the interviewer that you can handle this type of task in a transparent, concise, and professional manner.
"I certainly do not enjoy communicating bad news to a co-worker, but I do have experience in doing so. I make sure to practice empathy. Truth is always key, so I will be honest and clear when communicating the news. For instance, if I am to terminate someone's employment, I don't sugar coat the reasons why. It's best they know so that they can learn from the experience."
"I am an empathetic person, so I try to communicate bad news quickly but with care. I would never want to cause alarm or feelings of hurt in the office."
"I have found that communicating with respect and the intent to support the associate is the best approach. It is important to communicate what behaviors are off track and what resources are available to the associate to get back on track."
"When bad news comes up, I communicate it immediately. The longer an issue festers, the worse it becomes so it's best to rip the proverbial band-aid off asap."
"I have found that directly stating facts is best. Trying to "sugar coat" or dance around the subject makes it worse. Be direct, but respectful."
"I am very to-the-point when it comes to my communication skills. Good or bad news, there is always a way to improve the situation and create something good from it. After delivering bad news, I will work with my coworker to find a viable solution."
"If there is bad news to be communicated to the parent of a student, I run the wording past my Principal first as I always want to ensure that I am meeting our school's guidelines and communication policies."
Rate your listening skills from 1-10. What would your coworkers say about your listening skills?
The interviewer would like to know how you rate your listening skills, and how your rating would compare to how others would rate you in return. Avoid giving yourself a 10, as nobody is perfect, and you do not want to come across as someone who is unable to accept feedback. Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a terrible listener! Stay in the 7.5-9.5 range and back your rating with a comment you have received from a coworker recently.
"I would say that my listening skills are a 9/10. My supervisor recently mentioned how much he appreciates that I do not check my phone in the middle of a conversation as many people do."
"I am certainly not perfect so that I will rate myself a san 8/10 for listening skills. I could be more present at times, especially when a conversation seems to be dragging on an on, or a meeting is running past time. I think my current boss would rate me around the same, if not a bit higher. I do have a penchant for recalling small details which seems to impress him quite often."
"I will rate myself as an 8.75/10. I have solid listening skills, primarily when it comes to learning about my team and their needs. Being involved and available is a fundamental part of making my team feel important and listened to. In a recent performance review, my team has let me know that they appreciate my listening skills."
"Listening, and discovering everything there is to learn about our clients and their audience is the most important part of creating a marketing strategy that works. We must understand and absorb everything that we can to best form and communicate an effective brand story, for example. I am proud of my listening skills and will rate myself as a 9/10."
"I spend my day listening to my customers, and their needs. I have been well trained and would rate my listening skills as an 8/10. My customers often thank me for listening to what they need and making accurate suggestions."
"To make a sale, and a repeat customer, I need to utilize second-to-none listening skills. I have had many clients comment on my ability to listen, and remember what they have to say. My sales manager has also complimented me on my abilities in this area. For that reason, I will rate myself as a 9.5/10!"
"My students often comment on how well I listen to them. When we are in class, and one-on-one, I make sure to eliminate distractions and give them my full attention. I will rate my listening skills as a 9/10. There is always room to grow, and I am sure to embrace any feedback that I receive from my leadership team or a student."
What are the components of a successful, and effective, presentation?
Whether or not you have experience giving presentations, you likely understand the difference between a terrible performance and one that captures your attention all the way through.
"I believe that the most important part of a presentation is to have a compelling opening and closing. These are the times when the audience is the most engaged and when you should make the boldest statements of your pitch. I have given hundreds of presentations over the course of my career and this approach has never failed me."
"Although I have not presented in my career, I have created presentations for the VP whom I currently support. When making the slides, I like to include bullet points with compelling information and attractive pictures. I think that the multi-media used is a key component to building a presentation that captures attention."
"I have given many presentations in my management career and have found that when I start with a story, give some facts, and end with how those facts pertain to story; I can capture and keep the attention of my audience. Everyone loves a great story, especially one that is relatable to their personal or professional situation."
"Marketing is all about telling the right story, with the correct timing and message. For that reason, I believe that the key to a great presentation is first to know your audience before you begin to build your message. What are the pain points, the demographics of those you are presenting to, and what it is you want them to understand your pitch or offering."
"I have never given a presentation, but I have sat through some great ones, and some pretty boring ones too. I like presentations that infuse some humor and visuals."
"I present pitches to my clients on a regular basis. For myself, I have learned that the key to a compelling presentation is facts like percentages, numbers, and achievements. I avoid long drawn out sentences and long bunches of text on my slides."
"As an educator, I spend most of my day presenting! That is what teaching is all about. A successful class is one where my students are highly vocal and engaged - offering the opinion and asking insightful questions. I gather this result by asking questions of them and using a variety of resources and media."


Business to business and business to consumer marketing types have essentially the same fundamental principles.
Both choose target markets and based from them, they make their marketing decisions, such as in coming up with prices of their service or good and selecting the type of distribution and promotion they would employ.
However, in the way the issues are addressed, there is a clear distinction.
The nature of business buying is largely dependent on the professional buyers, multiple decision makers, and the potential of having long term relationships.
This is unlike the business to consumer marketing, which depends on the single decision maker and has a short buying or sales cycle.
The business to business marketing generally focuses on functionality of the product rather than on anything else.
It also has the capacity and resources to buy from the international markets.
The marketing does not focus on the emotional but rather on the logical decision making.
If the business has to deal with a business that sells business, it if often that the business buyer has more knowledge about the product or service that it is looking for than the business marketing provider.
It is for this reason why the marketers must be wise and intelligent enough as to how to market, promote, and advertise their goods or services. Business to business marketing employs wider and more complex tactics.
Anyone who wishes to utilize it must be patient and determined to learn the length of the ropes as there are many things to be learned about before one can actually use the methods involved in such.
They are appealing to a wider, more intelligent buyer group after all.
Anything that the business to business marketer does will have to be based on what that intelligent target group wants, but does not also necessarily mean forgetting the end-users, which for this case, are the buying public or consumers.
You have to remember that the business buyer is buying your service or good because they believe that it will sustain their business, help improve its sales and profits by having wide consumer group patronizing it, and turn in more benefits for them.
What are the strategy differences?
In business to business marketing, the supply and demand made on a certain product or service is taken into account.
The same is true in the kind of industry that the marketer is trying to sell the business for.
Others to be considered are the trends in the wider market environment.
It also has to deal not only with the direct business clients but their customers as well.
Business marketing targets comparably smaller base of clients, but these are the big clients in the industry.
And because it is dealing with bigger clientele, it is expected that personalized marketing techniques are provided, so that the business buyer will no longer have to employ different techniques in order to sell the product or service.
And since the clients differ in their preferences, the business marketer might be required to tailor technique to each.
And because of this, deeper relationship with each is expected to be developed between business to business provider and business buyer to meet the demands of each big client as well as to foster longevity in the industry.


"A Cancer Journey" booklets were developed in partnership with local Aboriginal people, Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD), the Medicare Local, Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS), North Coast Cancer Institute (NCCI), Cancer Council NSW and BreastScreen NSW.
The reader is navigated from reception through treatment of radiation and chemotherapy, using both text and photographs of the actual units. Aboriginal people within MNCLHD are true partners in the development, use and ongoing review of this educational resource.
To generate "A Cancer Journey" booklets for Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, NCCI in partnership with the local Aboriginal communities and provide education regarding cancer and treatments and "demystify" the cancer journey.
Improved patient journey and experience.
Improved outcomes for Aboriginal people with cancer.
Closing the gap on aboriginal health outcomes.
Shared decision making with patients as partners in healthcare.
The MNCLHD Aboriginal Well-being (Cancer) Roadshow, held in 2009, identified the need for improvement of the Aboriginal patient journey through cancer services.
Workshops identified one of the barriers for Aboriginal people is a lack of understanding of the cancer journey. This lack of knowledge can often make people fearful of the system and in some cases this can stop Aboriginal people from actively accessing the health care system for cancer treatment.
NCCI contacted Aboriginal Health for support and advice regarding patients who did not attend cancer treatment. Aboriginal workers within MNCLHD did not feel equipped to take referrals to support people through their cancer journey.
Monthly ‘yarn up’ sessions were held where participants (Aboriginal health workers, Medicare Locals, MNCLHD, AMS, Cancer Council, NCCI, Aboriginal community members) identified the barriers that exist in their local communities for Aboriginal people with a cancer diagnosis. These sessions informed the development of an action plan.
Raise community awareness regarding support service options.
Raise community awareness regarding treatment options.
Increase the knowledge of culturally appropriate support for staff and Aboriginal people accessing cancer services treatment.
Generate "A Cancer Journey" booklets for Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour NCCI.
Show respect: Use culturally significant artwork and local people in the booklets.
Accommodate different health literacy levels.
Provide education sessions regarding cancer and the treatment types for Aboriginal health workers and community members.
Provide educational tours of the NCCI for Aboriginal health visitors and community members.
"A Cancer Journey" booklet was generated by and for Aboriginal people with local Aboriginal significant artwork and photos of local people.
The development of the booklets has been a collaborative exercise between local Aboriginal people, MNCLHD, Medicare Local, Galambila, Durri, Werrin and Darrimba Maarra AMS, NCCI Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie, Cancer Council NSW and BreastScreen NSW.
150 posters were generated advertising the booklets and where to obtain them displayed in general practice surgeries and AMS.
Respecting the Difference Aboriginal Cultural Awareness training and Identification training provided for 85 NCCI staff MNCLHD with flow on to the Northern NSW NCCI implementing this.
Cancer and cancer services education sessions were held with Aboriginal staff across multiple organisations to better prepare staff to support Aboriginal People going through diagnosis and treatment, and assisting Aboriginal people to better understand risks/prevention and treatment.
Participants monitored progress of the project management plan at monthly ‘yarn up’ sessions and allocated responsibilities to facilitate progress of the action plan between meetings. Shared decision making led to ownership of the booklets, the way they are used and importantly the messages they convey.
Aboriginal Well-being: "A Cancer Journey of Healing" project had a multifaceted approach also focusing on data quality and the prevention and early detection of cancer.
Sustainability has been built into the achievements of the project.
Improved engagement with Aboriginal People within the MNCLHD and the NCCI.
Culturally respectful Aboriginal "A Cancer Journey" local resource booklets developed for Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie Cancer Services.
Collaborations were initiated and strengthened primarily as a result of the project.
Education and screening days were both initiated and strengthened: Walk the Talk with the Mob and the Men's Screening days.
Relay for life focus on raising the awareness of risk and the importance of screening for Aboriginal people.
National day celebration focusing on the Cancer Care journey for Aboriginal people ID training and Respecting the Difference training attended for NCCI in Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie and a flow on effect with Northern NSW.
NCCI also provided with Identification training.
Improved relationships between MNCLHD, Medicare Local, Galambila AMS, Darrimba Maarra AMS, Durri AMS, Werrin AMS, NCCI Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie, BreastScreen NSW.
" ... but now things have changed for the better, the booklet has helped me. It has great information resources for me, our people and other races of people,. It shows, there is help there, seek treatment early, and if you need to then read through this book because it has all the relevant information to help you ... "
Monitoring planned actions are ongoing via the Aboriginal Health Report Card prepared quarterly for the Close the Gap Board Sub-Committee.
The "A Cancer Journey" booklets are ongoing with annual review of the booklets during the NCCI educational tours, updates will include community feedback on ways to improve the resource.
The large number of requests for the booklet by non-Aboriginal people accessing NCCI showed the health literacy embedded within the booklet crossed all cultures.
The Cancer Council NSW (CCNSW), the National Indigenous Cancer Network website and Australian Indigenous health infonet have requested electronic copies of the booklets for their websites, to be accessed for information but to also be used as an example/template for others.
The booklets were requested to be used as an example of best practice for the CCNSW / Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council of New South Wales (AH&MRC) cancer awareness workshops. These were part of a NSW Ministry of Health funded Aboriginal Cancer Partnership Project between Cancer Institute NSW (CINSW), CCNSW and AH&MRC.
Collaboration was significant, questions were asked the answers were listened to and trust was built. There was openness through developing the booklet together, respect for artwork and stories which relate to our local communities.
Aboriginal workers and community members became empowered to support each other through the Cancer Journey.

What Is Ostrich Meat, and How Is It Used?
Instead of being similar to poultry, ostrich is a red meat much more like beef in taste and texture. Ostrich meat has great versatility and can be bought ground, cut into steaks, as sausage, and even hot dogs. Ostrich can be substituted for most any meat and grills very much like lean beef.
Ostrich is a large flightless bird that can weigh in at up to 250 pounds and stand 7 feet tall. Most of the meat is found on the thigh and hindquarter of the ostrich, with lesser amounts on the forequarter. As it is very lean meat, it can be tough if cooked too long. Because of the limited quantity in production as compared to beef, poultry, and pork, it is relatively expensive.
Ostrich meat is leaner than most any meat you will cook. Because it is so lean you will see a lot less shrinkage during cooking and you won't have to drain away fat after cooking ground ostrich. You can fry or grill ostrich steaks as you would beef. Be sure not to overcook ostrich and use marinades for steaks to hold in the moisture when it cooks. Ostrich absorbs flavors more quickly than beef so you might want to reduce marinating times and limit the number of spices you use.
Ostrich should be cooked to a temperature of 150 F for medium doneness, while 125 F is enough for rare. The cooking times for ostrich are about the same as beef, about four minutes per side for medium doneness, but keep a close eye on it. Ostrich is higher in iron than beef so it has a very red color to it, even when it is properly cooked. Don't compare the color with cooked beef when determining if the meat is cooked properly. It will be darker red when done. This is why it is best to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
What Does Ostrich Taste Like?
Ostrich is usually described as tasting like beef, but not as robust in flavor. Thus, it is generally well-liked by picky eaters who normally shun game meat. Some even think it is bland, so it benefits from marinades and seasonings. Pick an inexpensive cut the first time you try it so that you can get used to the cooking process and the flavor of the meat.
It is easy to replace beef with ostrich steaks and burgers for any grilling occasion. You can especially use ostrich for recipes that call for marinating the meat.
The availability of ostrich meat is still rather spotty, but with new ostrich ranches popping up, it is getting easier to find. Because it is leaner and lower in cholesterol than most red meat, ostrich is frequently found in health food stores and gourmet grocers. Online outlets carry ostrich, so you can have it shipped practically anywhere.
Ostrich is usually available as steaks and as ground meat. It is far easier to find it frozen rather than fresh, unless an ostrich farm in your area supplies a specialty grocer or butcher. Ostriches are tolerant of a wide range of climates, so the availability depends more on a rancher choosing to raise them rather than geographic location.
Keep frozen ostrich steaks and ground meat in the freezer in airtight wrap until you are ready to use it. If you take it out of the freezer and place it in the refrigerator to thaw, use the meat within 10 days.
Ostrich meat is a great way to reduce your fat and cholesterol intake while still giving you a red-meat meal. A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving of ostrich meat has 116 calories, 2.4 grams fat (only 0.8 grams saturated fat), 71 micrograms of cholesterol, and 22 grams of protein. It also provides 20 percent of your daily need for iron and is rich in vitamin B12, B6, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, thiamin, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc.
Ostrich meat is often sought by people who have developed an alpha-gal allergy to mammalian meat, which can develop after a tick bite. It is also compatible with the paleo diet. As for dietary restrictions, ostrich is not a kosher meat.

For this series, I will look into the one-versus-one ProLeague records of the historical ace players of various teams. To start things off, I will pick SK Telecom T1, widely considered as the greatest Brood War franchise of all time. They are one of the four franchises that managed to compete in all of the Brood War ProLeague seasons in one form or another, and boast a rich history of successful campaigns and a plethora of incredible ProLeague aces at their disposal.
Because the ProLeague format was so drastically different throughout the years, it makes sense to rate each ProLeague performance in accordance to the circumstances of each of the eras. A player doing fantastic in 2003, for example, will invariably (due to the limited number of opportunities) end up with less number of ProLeague victories than even the most mediocre ProLeague A teamer playing barely up to par in 2010.
To provide proper context, I will list the records of the top five ProLeague performers of the time-frame I specified for the various ProLeague one-versus-one aces for SK Telecom T1, and how the ace players of SK Telecom T1 stacked up against the other ProLeague beasts of their eras.
So without further ado, who were the true one-versus-one pillars of SK Telecom T1, the team that won both the first and last ever pure Brood War ProLeague championships?
Until his temporary ban from the ProLeague in SKY 2005 ProLeague R1, iloveoov was the single most frightening one-versus-one force in the entire scene. Not only did he manage to gather more one-versus-one ProLeague victories than any player out there, he did so with a frighteningly high win rate. No other player of this era could match him.
With the help of iloveoov's monstrous one-versus-one performances, SK Telecom T1 managed to reach two ProLeague finals, winning one, and narrowly losing the other. For the first two years or so of the ProLeague, iloveoov was by far and away the best ProLeague player if one were to only consider one-versus-one matches into account.
Midas was the key signing for SK Telecom T1 after their somewhat disappointing 2004 season. With their previous ace, iloveoov, the best one-versus-one ProLeague player by some distance at the time, being banned for the first half of 2005 for contractual complications, Midas had a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.
And what Midas did, was turn things around for SK Telecom T1 in what was probably their most glorious period in history. With a staggering win-rate that mirrored iloveoov at his absolute prime, Midas was able to gather more ProLeague one-versus-one victories during this era than most of the other ProLeague aces aside from NaDa, Sea, and Stork.
Towards the end of his stay at the team, Midas wasn't able to prevent what was once the invincible Armada of SK Telecom T1 turning into a joke of a team. However, there is no denying at Midas was the clear ace of SK Telecom T1 for two years just like iloveoov before him.
During the darkest years of SK Telecom T1, when all the former aces of SK Telecom T1 such as iloveoov and Midas were a shadow of their former selves, and Bisu had yet to fully adjust to the SK Telecom T1 house, BeSt was the only source of hope for SK Telecom T1.
While several ProLeague aces were able to gather more victories for their team, BeSt stood out from the rest with his high win percentage.
Bisu was able to spearhead the resurgence of SK Telecom T1 as a ProLeague powerhouse after around three years of deep slumber. His second in command was FanTaSy, a player who was the fourth best ProLeague player for this specific time-frame after Flash, Jaedong, and Bisu. Together, these two ProLeague workhorses were responsible for numerous seasons of ProLeague success, reaching all the finals of the major ProLeague finals, and winning the entire thing on two separate occasions.
Bisu was by far the longest serving ace of SK Telecom T1, being the pivotal focus of the team for years on end, with FanTaSy sometimes picking up the slack when Bisu slumped from time to time. For this particular time-frame that lasted over three years, SK Telecom T1 was in possession of two of the top five ProLeague performers in the scene, something was rarely seen for such a lengthy period of time. While Flash and Jaedong were individually speaking better than either of the SK Telecom T1 aces, they were often spread quite thin, and were much more prone to sniping from the other teams due to their team's lack of depth, which explains the much higher ACE match win rates boasted by both the SK Telecom T1 aces.
Despite SK Telecom T1's long history, there has been only two occasions of an SK Telecom T1 player being awarded the "Most ProLeague Regular Season Victories" title, and Bisu joined iloveoov as the only SK Telecom T1 player to achieve that particular title.
Even Midas, for all his regular season exploits and play-off round excellence, never quite managed to rake in the most number of ProLeague victories out of any player during the regular ProLeague season, which is why the likes of NaDa ended up with a greater number ProLeague one-versus-one victories back when Midas was arguably the best ProLeague ace on the planet.
Hey Letmelose, I have a question about the "Most ProLeague Regular Season Victories" title. I believe there was a season, maybe 2009 or 2010, when Bisu, Flash, and Jaedong were all within 1 win of each other towards the end. Instead of giving Bisu the change to get the title, SKT fielded Boxer. Am I misremembering something, or did this in fact happen?
If so, we can say that SKT took that title from Bisu (would be 2 for him total then) if he had won that game in order to give fanfare?
SK Telecom T1 was always about team over player. A football analogy I would make would be Manchester United under Alex Ferguson, because it was never about individual excellence, but always about the club itself, often to the sacrifice of the football players (their individual glory, their national team performance, and their career well-being outside of the context of helping the greater good for Manchester United).
Bisu was both blessed and cursed to work with SK Telecom T1 in my opinion.
SK Telecom T1 had a deeper player pool than almost any other team, and as a result, Bisu, as a general rule of thumb, had less maps and match-ups to prepare for during ProLeague matches. This is why Bisu had such excellent win percentages when things clicked, and why SK Telecom T1 chose to use him more sparingly if he happened to be on poor form. Out of the Taek-Beng-LeeSsang quartet, Bisu has by far the least number of ProLeague ACE match appearances, but boasts the highest win rate due to SK Telecom T1's selective usage of Bisu. It is a trend that can be also seen with FanTaSy and BeSt's astonishingly high ACE match win rates.
For example, due to Bisu's historical struggles versus Flash, SK Telecom T1 tended to use BeSt and FanTaSy over Bisu to match-up against Flash. That was a luxury that wasn't afforded to ace players of other less deep rosters such as Hwaseung Oz or Ongamenet Sparkyz.
However, due to their policies, SK Telecom T1 also didn't use Bisu any more than they saw fit. Bisu was on the form of his life during the Shinhan 2008/2009 ProLeague season, performing admirably across all three platforms of competition (OGN StarLeague, MSL, and ProLeague) for the first and last ever time during his professional career. A team that would try to create a everlasting legacy for their star players might have made something out of such a glorious form.
Instead, SK Telecom T1 decided to save Bisu once they secured first place for strategic purposes towards the end of the season, and utilized FanTaSy to snipe Jaedong down knowing Jaedong would mainly prepare for Bisu. Results speak for themselves, and SK Telecom T1 was able to completely run circles around Hwaseung Oz, and more specifically, Jaedong at the very height of his powers.
However, for Bisu personally, he retained his incredible ProLeague win rate, but lacked further opportunities to gain more ProLeague victories. For Batoo OGN StarLeague, Bisu had the chance to reach the OGN StarLeague finals, but FanTaSy was more prepared for the semi-finals, and Bisu lamented the fact that his team wasn't more involved in helping him fulfill his dream of winning the OGN StarLeague.
As much as KT Rolster and Hwaseung Oz slaved away Flash and Jaedong for their own needs, they also did pretty much everything in their power to keep these two players happy. When Flash had difficulties defeating Jaedong, KT Rolster actively sought out hours of long practice sessions with ZerO and Soulkey, probably the best orthodox zerg-versus-terran players at the time outside of Jaedong, and immensely improved Flash's game as a result.
Jaedong had absolute authority over all the B team practice partners that Hwaseung Oz had, and had the freedom to play freakishly long hours to fine-tune his mechanics and instincts (Jaedong said on stream that he would constantly rotate practice partners once he felt like they were starting to lose focus due to his insane practice demands). GoRush, a high profile mercenary for SK Telecom T1 once said that SK Telecom T1 practice culture was different from Greatest One (that later became CJ Entus), because practice partners were given more freedom, rather than being absolute slaves to the needs of the top performing A teamers.
Both of these teams catered specifically for the needs of their superstar aces, and focused a lot on increasing the overall capacity of the sole reason why these teams remained relevant, rather than utilizing Flash and Jaedong efficiently. In short, KT Rolster and Hwaseung Oz knew they couldn't survive without their aces, while for SK Telecom T1, Bisu was just one of their many superstar aces that needed to be used just right for their ProLeague success. I can't think of a single anecdote where SK Telecom T1 went out of their way for Bisu to have success outside of the context of his ProLeague matches.
From the looks of it, it seemed as if SK Telecom T1 had no such heavy need for Bisu to break out of his comfort zone, and used FanTaSy and BeSt if Bisu wasn't up to the task. It ended with the best possible results for SK Telecom T1 as a team, but BeSt towards the end of his days was more of a match-up sniper than the all-rounder protoss prodigy he was once hyped up to be. Bisu also ended up as more of a great servant for SK Telecom T1, rather than an all-round great player. It was like a deal with the devil. Bisu was able to reach ProLeague greatness with SK Telecom T1, something he never managed with MBC Game HERO, but it came at the cost of his individual league prowess, and I believe SK Telecom T1's policies has something to do with that.
FanTaSy had incredible individual league success, but that was due to his insane drive (I personally think he was the hardest working player towards the end of professional Brood War when Jaedong's wrists were starting to give out) that prevailed despite SK Telecom T1's policies. Most players at SK TelecomT1 tended to be used up, and become a vehicle for SK Telecom T1's ProLeague success, which was the case for numerous mercenaries including Midas, GoRush, and Bisu, all of whom never quite saw their full potential realized outside of the context of the ProLeague while they were with SK Telecom T1. It's a shame because Bisu used to be incredibly savy in his individual league preparation before he joined SK Telecom T1, and while he improved a lot in some aspects (Sea said that as a gamer, Bisu became much better), I feel like he became a slave to the SK Telecom T1 system.
It was a deliberate decision on SK Telecom T1's part to save Bisu after they secured the regular season first place.
1) Bisu reaches the semi-finals of the OGN StarLeague.
2) Bisu wins Clubday MSL.
3) Bisu wins the ProLeague MVP award alongside Jaedong.
4) Bisu wins GomTV Classic S2, the only season that had all four members of Taek-Beng-LeeSsang participating.
5) Bisu wins WCG 2009 Korea, and it is his first and only time he represented Korea at the World Cyber Games.
Both Jaedong and Bisu were on fire during this season, and while Bisu slumped quite heavily after this season, there's a reason why Stork said at the time these two would be the ones to decide the race for the bonjwa title. Perhaps with a little more interest and assistance from his team, maybe Bisu would have been able to keep this momentum going, rather than being reduced to a ProLeague-only player.
For example, for his first ever finals (GomTV MSL S1) there were no overlapping ProLeague schedule. However, he reached two further MSL finals whilst he was with MBC Game HERO.
Bisu skipped a single ProLeague match for MBC Game HERO leading up to his GomTV MSL S2 finals.
Bisu also skipped six ProLeague matches for MBC Game HERO against various teams leading up to his GomTV MSL S3 finals.
For Bisu's first ever MSL finals whilst he was with SK Telecom T1, he misses out on zero ProLeague matches.
For Bisu's last ever OGN StarLeague semi-finals appearance, his last deep individual league run during his professional career, he misses out on zero ProLeague schedule for SK Telecom T1.
For a team that was willing to save Bisu for strategic purposes confined to the ProLeague, SK Telecom T1 were not that lenient on giving Bisu extra room to practice for individual league glory like he was afforded on MBC Game HERO. Although MBC Game HERO was a poorly managed team with barely any funding, I believe they did a better job of balancing individual league and ProLeague practice time for Bisu, who was not a player who thrived when stretched too thin.
SK Telecom T1 was historically ruthless with all their players, and in late 2006, even made players give up individual league slots if they performed poorly in the ProLeague. It was all about the greater good of the SK Telecom T1 empire than individuality. The only player that could be said to be potentially more important than the team itself was BoxeR, and he was the biggest icon of them all.
While it's on my mind, I will compare members of Taek-Beng-LeeSsang, and how much ProLeague schedule they missed out on if there were individual league finals to prepare for.
Where do you get your data from letmelose? I once asked if there was any way I could query TLPD or get an exported data dump of TLPD, but apparently TL were using some really old database technology that nobody understood/remembered how to query properly.
Do you manually look all this data up or do you have access to something better?
could you talk a little bit about best's reputation among other progamers and the fans? best has always been one of my favorite players. there's something amazing and comedic in the way he plays, but i feel like he's always been underrated by western fans.
I believe commentators (for both Ongamenet and MBC Game) loved BeSt due to his trademark playstyles (commentators who have to create distinct narratives tend to like players with strong characteristics such as July or BeSt). CoolweN (the colour caster for MBC Game) said that BeSt was one of his favourite protoss players ever, and said that BeSt had by far the most refined build orders and probe count optimization out of any protoss players he had seen.
Although it has been many years, I think one of the coaches for SK Telecom T1 said for an interview that while Bisu was the more fundamentally sound player of the two SK Telecom T1 protosses, BeSt had a more cerebral approach to the game, and had a knack for coming up with really fluid build orders.
Bisu has said on stream that he re-learnt how to play the protoss-versus-terran match-up by copying BeSt's meticulous approach to the match-up.
I personally think BeSt was a cerebral protoss player who was somewhat like PuSan (although I think PuSan's influence on the meta-game was greater) in that he had some really refined build orders that allowed him to optimize his macro-management like no other. However, I think his actual accomplishments as a professional player, like PuSan, is about right for a competitor of his capabilities. There is more to mastering the craft than coming up with really refined build orders, and BeSt towards the end of his professional career was mostly utilized as a ProLeague sniper because he simply wasn't well rounded enough.
However, at the peak of his powers circa 2008, BeSt was indeed a monstrous player with a lot of upsides, and I believe that his build order crafting abilities helped Bisu a lot in regaining his confidence after slumping really heavily in early 2008. However, while Bisu learned a lot from BeSt, I don't think that relationship was necessarily all that great for BeSt, who couldn't mimic Bisu's playstyle like Bisu could somewhat mimic his.
BeSt, like a lot of cerebral players, had a tendency to slack off due to the ease with which they could manipulate the flow of the game to their advantage rather than grinding games non-stop. BeSt said himself that his success in 2008 was possible due to the hard work he put in as a rookie initially, and once he started to reach the top, he got complacent and coasted off the effort he put in during the earliest stages of his career.
The classic "Doh"sairs. However, if I recall correctly, towards the end of BW-only Proleague, there was a time when Best was putting up great numbers in PvZ while Bisu began to finally perform in PvT (and simultaneously dropping unexpected games in PvZ) if I'm not mistaken? It felt like they underwent a role reversal. If you also remember something of this nature, what do you think was the root cause of that?
I remember in the most recent ASL, people were saying Best had no chance against hero (if I recall correctly) and I sat there thinking, "does no one remember how good Best actually got at PvZ towards the end?" I felt and feel like I'm going crazy haha.
I think one of the root cause of that has something to do with the generally protoss friendly map pool used for that last ever proper Brood War ProLeague. It is very telling when protoss-versus-protoss becomes the most frequently seen mirror match-up in the league.

Last Thursday, April 12, I met individually with the Ambassadors from Qatar, Brazil, Peru, Malawi, and Rwanda, in Washington, DC. Below is a summary of key points from each meeting, and we are following-up on each point. I'd welcome your feedback. Sincerely, Ami QATAR - Would like to see WJC "for five minutes" in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC's birthday in 2011. - Qatar would welcome our suggestions for investments in Haiti - particularly on education and health. They have allocated most of their $20 million but are happy to consider projects we suggest. I'm collecting input from CF Haiti team. BRAZIL - President Rousseff may come to NYC for UN in September; I pitched CGI, again, and will continue to do so. - We agreed to try to arrange a WJC-Rousseff meeting whenever she and he are next in the same city. - With regard to Rio climate conference, Ambassador's team is going to think about any sites that WJC could visit to highlight Brazil's leadership on climate issues. [I made clear WJC visit to Rio is undecided.] They said they'd be happy for WJC to come. - I committed to send them details on CCI in Brazil. - Ambassador mentioned Lula receiving an award in Iowa and how much Lula enjoyed Iowa. I suggested Lula come to Little Rock when WJC convenes meeting of former heads of state (Club of Madrid). Also discussed Ambassador going to Little Rock to speak with Clinton School students - he said he'd like to. I'll work with Stephanie on this.\ - We discussed Lula's health - Ambassador said he's recovering and still committed to agriculture work in Africa. We agreed it would be good for WJC and Lula to do something together on agriculture in Africa. PERU - Per CGSGI, I asked for Ambassador's ideas on which sectors/parts of Peru to focus on in order to create jobs. He suggested we speak with his son, an alderman in Lima, about jobs projects for young men who otherwise could be recruited by gangs. Ambassador also suggested speaking with Minister for Women and Vulnerable Populations, Ms. Ana Jara, for jobs projects for women. MALAWI - Ambassador told story of Mutharika's death (said he collapsed with no prior symptoms during a morning meeting, was taken to hospital, then flown to South Africa but passed away en route); and emphasized significance of smooth transition to successor, within their constitutional framework. Sounds like new President is laying low until the memorial service for Mutharika, and then plans to announce her new government. - Ambassador again urged that CDI consider dairy/cattle projects; I reminded him we'd be happy to speak with minister of agriculture or whoever Ambassador suggests in the industry; he said he'd let us know. RWANDA - Kagame is organizing an event in June to commemorate closing of Gacaca process for the genocide. They asked if WJC could go. I said Africa trip is probably in July and we haven't decided countries yet but if there's anything they'd want WJC to do in Rwanda in July, to let us know. I also said to let us know if they'd want a message from WJC for the June event; they'll let us know. - Ambassador asked if WJC/CF/CGI could do anything to help on education/universities in Rwanda. I explained we are constrained by funding but if they have specific ideas, to let us know. He said they'll put together some ideas for us. - Ambassador asked about attracting more investments/businesses to Rwanda, including mining/natural resources investors. I emphasized CGI as an opportunity for Kagame to engage investors. I also mentioned Barclays interest in doing something at CGI on investing in Africa. Also mentioned Kagame doing a side-meeting at/around CGI that convenes investors interested in Rwanda, akin to WJC's investor meeting for Ireland or session WJC did for Haiti last year at CGI. - Ambassador said criticism of Kagame seems to have quieted, partly due to WJC and Blair's unwavering support for Kagame. Ambassador said Kagame and Rwanda very much appreciate WJC's unflinching support.


Buttery in flavor and delicate in texture, crêpes are paper thin, soft, pancake-like wrappers that are the ideal vessel for both sweet and savory fillings.
Crepes: Follow these instructions. You will have extra crepes, which you can wrap and refrigerate for another use.
Spinach and salmon: Melt the butter, mix in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Mix in most of the milk and all the whipping cream, let simmer for 5 minutes. Add 2 oz Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Put the sauce to the side.
Heat the oil and stir-fry the spinach until it is reduced. Drain and squeeze out the juice. Chop the spinach.
Mix the cream cheese with the remainder of the milk (1/5th cup), basil, 75 grams / 3 oz. Parmesan, the eggs, salmon strips, spinach and salt and pepper.
Heat the oven to 400ºF. Divide the filling among the crepes and roll them up. Pour one-third of the sauce in an oven dish. Put the crepes in and pour the rest of the sauce over them. Sprinkle the remainder of the Parmesan over the dish and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake until the sauce is bubbling, the top is slightly browned and the salmon is cooked (125 degrees F with an instant-read thermometer). 18 to 20 minutes. Remove your baking dish to a rack, optionally sprinkle with chives and serve.


Recipe uses blue cornmeal, flour, butter, brown sugar, egg and milk.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a baking sheet.
Stir the dry ingredients in a bowl, then cut the butter into the dry mixture with a pastry blender (or suitable substitute) to form a coarse meal.
Beat the egg with the milk, sugar, and vanilla. When smooth, stir into the other mixture until the dough holds together. Knead briefly on a floured surface; pat into an 8" circle; place on baking sheet.

Hi guys. Recently I bought a layered font and start playing with it. I have to say I see an oportunity for an improvement. Right now I have to create multiple overlapping text frames with the same text and different style Please note that there are plenty of layered fonts, so there may be more users eager to use it in their projects: There are plenty of layered fonts: https://www.myfonts.com/search/tag:layered/fonts/ It could works like this: User have an option to create a Layered Style: Then user can combine existing character styles in any order. Layered style would behave as character style and could be selected for Drop Caps or simply used in running text.
Hello guys! I got problem with setting different margins for odd and even pages in a two-page master. I am creating a document which has numbered paragraphs. I made a base style which has increased left margin and negative first line indent. To keep the text centered I have to decrease outter margin on left page and inner margin on a right one. I theoretically could make a text frame that extends the margin, but then I would have to take care of its correct placement and size. Is it possible in Publisher to set margins per master's page? Hope my question is clear.
I believe it looks so bad due to lack of anti-aliasing. Please note the sharp edges - in most graphic editors they are faded-out and blended with a background.
Hi guys. If any of the below statement is wrong please correct me. -------------- I work a lot with InDesign and there's one thing in Publisher that vexes me: so little controll over Text Styles list. I mean the lack of ability to create directories and to sort elements as I wish to. I am used to having styles in a order I use them in a document (first headers, than paragraph variants) To do that in Publisher I would need to prefix them with a number. But it makes later reordering quite hard. I tried that once and I ended with style called "8.25 Chapter number". That's very stup... ekhm... inconvinient. -------------- When it comes to directories: I'm aware of concept of Group Styles which was indended (?) to substitute directories. But the behavior is different. I work a lot with bi-lingual publications and in InDesign I very often make two directories with the very same styles (the only difference is language used for hyphenation). i.e. when I work with English I collapse French directory. In Publisher I can't have two styles with the same name: -------------- I would really appreciate the ability to organize styles in directories and to sort styles and directories according to my needs.
Where are the abbreviarions stored?
Hi, I made a custom abbreviarions dictionary for my language (Preferences > Abbreviarions) and I'd like to copy it to my other machine. Does anybody know where are the files located? I checked the directory where my Hunspell dictionaries are placed but it's not the right place.
Edit: I found the below example in .133. I need to check it with the newest build. Edit 2: Seems the problem described below is fixed in .137. Well done, Affinity Team! The same with polish (dictionary downloaded from Thunderbird webpage). Word "święty" is hyphenated as "świ-ęty'; should be "świę-ty". Looks like (some?) letters with diacritics are problematic for the hyphenation engine.
I think the title is self-explainatory. I wish publisher skip soft hyphens and other zero-width character in spellchecking.
Hi Dominik, First of all -- this forum is for general discussions and improvement ideas. Bug reports should be created in proper forums: have a look here. Anyway, could you please share some details about the project? Which version do you use (Mac or Windows)? Which build are you running (can be found in Help > About...) I'm not a Serif employee, but I can imagine what help would they appreciate - narrowing the problem down. Could you please: Create a copy of the file to not loose you work Remove one page and try to export - if still crashes - remove pages until you can export. If you are able to export sucessfuly - create another copy of the original file and delete all pages except the last one you removed previously. Check if Publisher can export that page. If not and you are allowed to share the page - do it here. Quality Assurance Team will (hopefuly) investigate that further.

I have an assignment where I am supposed to read multiple files containing integers (one on each line) and merge them into a output text file after sorting them. I am new to C++ so I do not know how everything works. I am testing my program with two .txt files. The first file is called fileone.txt, contains 1,2,7 (I do not know how to format this but they are all on different lines.) The second file is called filetwo.txt, and contains 1,3,5,9,10 (again every integer is on a different line).
I have written the following code which opens both files and prints the contents.
The problem I am having is the last number in the first file gets printed multiple times. The output I want is to stop printing after printing the last integer from the file. The problem only appears when the second file contains more integers than the first one. Is there a way to stop printing from the first file when it reaches the end and while still print all the numbers from the second file?
You should only really use data if you checked to see if it was successfully read.
The thing is to check the end of file and handle if to print it. You can use eof() function as above.
I haven't checked the code. But the logic should be correct.


Can you advise me where else I might look for information regarding the other ways to obtain Italian citizenship? I was born in Florence, but my situation is a bit complicated. Would I simply ask the Italian Consulate, or is there another avenue I where I could gather info?
I had a negative experience years ago at the Italian consulate in London, where it seemed I just ran into a person who was having a bad day and not necessarily giving accurate info, and I'd like to have an idea of what the actual facts are.
The process to become a dual citizen has streamlined. You must have proof of Italian heritage through birth, death, marriage (and divorce) records of your Italian line starting with you to the parents of the 1st immigrant to America or your country of residence. If you were actually born in Florence you only need your birth record and proof of residence. We do not have experience with the London Italian consulate.


House prices are expected to peak next year, according to research by a group of economists.
The Economic Research Council has calculated that property values will continue to rise into 2015 and then start to slowly fall until they steady sometime in 2019.
By then, the average price of a home in England and Wales is expected to level out at around £212,000 ' compared to the current £260,000 put forward by official figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
The latest ONS study says prices have increased by 9.9% in the past year.
The Economic Research Council asked three property experts about their views on how prices may change over the coming years.
All three agreed the peak and plateau theory.
Gráinne Gilmore, of international property consultants Knight Frank said: 'From April 2015 interest rate rises will start to impact on the rate of price growth as mortgages become more expensive?
James Wyatt of property firm Parthenia considers that the forthcoming general election followed by the 'aftermath of confronting the reality of trying to reduce the national debt' is why growth will peak in 2015.
Matthew Pointon of Capital Economics added: 'Tight market conditions will lead to further house price gains over the next few months and robust economic growth this year and next, alongside a rise in real earnings, will push prices up further in 2015.
?House prices are already high in relation to earnings, and as interest rates gradually edge up from the second half of 2015 the pace of gains will slow. Our central forecast is for a long period of stable house prices as earnings catch-up, but a sharper correction ' perhaps caused by a faster-than-expected rise in interest rates ' is still a risk.?
The June ONS report looking at house prices in May, announced prices are rising strongly across the country, but with London and the South East leaving the way.
Stripping the capital out of the national figures, values in the rest of England and Wales rose by 6.3%, while London saw increases of more than 18%.
