Programme overview
This new programme, accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), has been designed for graduates who aspire to a career or advanced study in marketing. It will prepare you to respond to the challenges posed by today's global business environment, both on and off line.

You'll also have the opportunity to gain professional marketing qualifications through the CIM Graduate Gateway programme. Students graduating from the MSc Marketing will receive exemptions for two of the three modules required for the Level 4 Certificate in Professional Marketing and one exemption for the Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing. As the MSc Marketing programme enables students to obtain these CIM qualifications, which are highly sought after by employers, graduates will be ready for a successful career in marketing.
This is a specialist programme so some academic experience in marketing is required through a prior degree that contains some exposure to business, marketing or management. We are also seeking students who have a curious and creative mind and possess a genuine interest in the subject.
By joining this programme you will find yourself part of a dynamic and diverse body of students and staff at the University's School of Economics, Finance and Management.

There are many things in life we have to seek permission to do. One example is gaining permission to drive a car by going through stages and steps to become a licensed driver. Most of the time when we seek permission there is some expectation on our part that must be fulfilled.
A discussion with a fellow writer about becoming a published writer sparked my thoughts into the phenomenon of credibility and permission regarding writing. Once upon a time, there weren't big house publishers.
Book publishing evolved like most industries. Someone had something to say, wanted to share it and either learned the trade themselves or sought out someone to make copies. Over time it became an industry where publishers selected authors to write similar stories to those successfully selling in order to make a profit. That is until something new and different caught the eye of the reading public, then off in a new direction, a new genre or resurgence of an old one began and the cycle continued.
There are stories about an author who would not accept rejection and published themselves successfully, as well as rogue editors there who bucked the system for an author they believed in. Somewhere along the line becoming chosen became the thing to do. It happens quite often in throughout life if you think about it.
So why are there so many writers still waiting to be chosen? Especially with the flood of ebooks and the means by which to be published have become so economically available? Is writing truly an elitist monopoly?
I have heard from published authors that this is a competitive brutal industry, which to be honest, any and all industries will have individuals that are highly competitive. However, I have a perspective with a slightly different outlook. I see that there is room for all voices.
If you write, and work at it writing the best you can write, who has the right to say what can be published or not? Isn't it the right of the reader to accept or reject? Readers are the market that publishers sell to, doesn't that make their opinion the only one that really matters? Shouldn't they have the final say as to whether or not something is worth reading?

Be Salty
I hate salt. I do not put salt on my popcorn and I don't like it on my baked potato. I also rub the grains of salt off of my fast food french fries. Thankfully, I have not had to do this for a long time because I am trying to stay away from Burger King. Even with my distaste for salty foods I still appreciate salt. I understand that salt adds flavor. One of my favorite candy bars has salt in the name, "Salted Nut Roll". Even though Salted Nut Rolls are one of my favorites salt tends to drive me away from foods.
In the time of Jesus salt was used for many things. It was an antiseptic, preservative, and even, fertilizer. Today we use it for melting ice and softening water. Yet, both in ancient times and modern times the main usage for salt was and is the same…giving food flavor. Jesus points to this in Matthew 5:13 when he says:
"You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its flavor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled on by people." -NET
Salt was a highly sought after commodity in the ancient world. Sometimes, Roman soldiers would even be paid in salt. Ever heard the phrase "he/she is worth their salt"? Anyway, salt was important. It gave sodium but most importantly it added flavor to otherwise bland foods.
Jesus' aim isn't to say that we can lose our saltiness meaning salvation. He is exhorting those who trust in him to give the world a taste of who Jesus is. Jesus said that we "are the salt of the earth". The question is, "How can I become salty?" And that is a great question. We become salty by understanding the one who brought us from death to life. The deeper we understand Jesus' work and teaching the more salty we can become. I see many people who are zealous for Christ but they lack a deep understanding of who he is. This zeal may allow them to engage people fervently but it does not allow them to give deep answers to life's problems. We must not confuse zeal for saltiness. As we gain flavor we are to bring flavor to the world.
Jesus' sacrifice was not only for the small group of people known as the Jews. His sacrificial mission was far greater than just one nation. It was a world-wide mission. We see this clearly in Jesus' teachings. If we take Jesus' missional call seriously, then we should be taking the flavor of Jesus to those who have not tasted him. Of course, there will always be people, like myself, who hate salt. Once they taste Christ they will spit it out and turn from it. Yet, there will be those that will embrace the flavor of salt. It will captivate and intrigue them. They will long for more of the flavor. Those people are why we are to be salty. We are salt because we want others to taste the glory of God's grace.
I pray that we will be missional, bringing the flavor of Christ to the world around us.

A 28-year-old man accused of stealing a man's penis through sorcery has been beaten to death in the West African country of Gambia.
Fox nearly sued itself over 'Simpsons' parody
OK, it's not that bad, but if things in Iraq don't get better, this image is gonna be in somebody's Bush-bashing ad.
However, W seems prepared. The message that "the world is more peaceful and more free under my leadership" will be a prominent theme of his bid for a second White House term.
and he apparently doesn't like the casting for Mel Gibson's new movie.
During Bush's speech to Australia's Parliament, two Green Party senators jumped to their feet and shouted war protests at Bush. They were ordered removed from the chamber but sat and refused to leave. One of them, Sen. Bob Brown, shouted "we are not a sheriff,'' a reference to Bush's recent description of Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
"I love free speech,'' Bush said to laughter.
Wasn't quite sure how or why to post this, but let me start by saying I'm a sports fan for many reasons, but one in particular is team names. I'm fascinated with the history of them, the anachronisms and odd juxtapositions they create long after they were coined (i.e. Boston Red Sox; New York Yankees; Oakland A's – short for Athletics; the Cleveland Browns named after their popular coach, Paul Brown; etc) or not long after they moved (alas, there are no trolleys in LA for the Dodgers to dodge; the Lakers moved and left the lakes in Minneapolis; and Utah, with its Tabernacle Choir, never bothered to rename the Jazz after coming up from the Big Easy).
But I'm equally interested in the new jacks, too. Expansion teams, hot cities, Forbes growth centers clamoring for a piece of the athletic industrial complex. And while I have some favorites (Baltimore's Ravens are a nod to Poe's time there) and some less than favorites (hockey's Atlanta Thrashers – at least their first hockey team, the Flames, were named after the great fire of 1917) you can't get the focus-grouped, Landor designed, demographically-driven taste out of your ears when you hear them. And it's not that I haven't tried to do my part - Kevin and I faced our own battles trying to bring football to Europe (The Berlin Wall, The Berlin Airlift, and – my personal favorite - The Berlin Tornadoes lost out to The Berlin Thunder).
And so it was bittersweet to find out the story behind the Pittsburgh Steelers name - one of the weirdest names out there - and that the namer, Joe Santoni, had died. He sounds like regular Herb Schmertz, is all I can say. But that's a name (and a story) for another post.
from now on, General Boykin's name is General Boychik.
for you non-New Yorker subscribers, the week's most important story is online, Sy Hersh's The Stovepipe.
one tidbit: "A routine settled in: the Pentagon's defector reports, classified "secret," would be funnelled to newspapers, but subsequent C.I.A. and INR analyses of the reports—invariably scathing but also classified—would remain secret."
and then the bombshell, rumor only, mind you, re: the yellowcake documents:
"a former senior C.I.A. officer ... eventually [said] that a small group of disgruntled retired C.I.A. clandestine operators had banded together in the late summer of last year and drafted the fraudulent documents themselves.
"The agency guys were so pissed at Cheney," the former officer said. "They said, 'O.K, we're going to put the bite on these guys.'" ... "They thought that, with this crowd, it was the only way to go—to nail these guys who were not practicing good tradecraft and vetting intelligence," my source said. "They thought it'd be bought at lower levels—a big bluff.""
I was going to do this post about how it turns out that this is fiction but this is fact, and how fact is inscrutable, and how fucked up is that? I was looking for information, so I turned to the Interweb. I googled the real nike site, and quickly got so much more. It starts with more or less the same question I had:
Hi! i sent you an e-mail before about a weird macdonald's ad! well i just found out, its a promotion for nike called "keep the ball alive" check out www.keeptheballalive.com and tell me what you think!
Stewart's Reply: Amazing! The whole thing is a trigger. Even the way they wrote the letter "B" is actually, 13, closer together. I have not seen this elsewhere--perhaps Australia/ NZ are testing grounds. Thank you.
One of many questions answered on that page. I wasn't sure if whoever does that testing (nike?) had ever seen the site. If so, I thought, it might be compromised. As it turns out, these guys are bona fide, and here's proof. You know how the last few weeks have been really weird? Monarch Trigger. Monarch Trigger.
Monarchs Beware! September 21, 2003
Apparently there is now an international organization called "Monarch Watch" based in…are you ready…Kansas! (Wizard of Oz programming). Of course, this group is designed to study Monarch butterflies. This year, especially in the Midwest, there are kazzillions of yellow and orange Monarch butterflies. Birds, descendents of reptiles, do not eat Monarchs because they taste bitter. Something deep here for programmed Monarch to comprehend! Go to www.Monarchwatch.org for details. Add this to the MSN butterfly, plus the recent Spykids 3D movie where a single Monarch butterfly fills the screen and flutters about the screen against a red background in two scenes for several seconds each time, and you are going to have a whole lot of Monarchs triggered!!
From the Archives - Current News Illuminati Plans September 2003
You may worry that no one is paying attention to any of this. Take comfort that at least one of their devotees is a grade school teacher, and that's a good start.
devoted readers will remember my description of the telescoping ladder fall on QVC earlier this month. or maybe september. Today, the Times covered it. And pointed toward the video itself.
I was thinking about the PC iTunes thing, about that level of cut-paste snowball hell kind of juxtaposition. It's remarkable on a technical level if no other. But then I saw this video of Cat fucking Power doing karaoke to the real Slim Shady and I thought man what's next, Chinese people on the moon?
Until recently, I was unaware of mock trial/moot court as a tool to explore ethical or legal issues. I think maybe that's what Debate Club was about, but I spent much of high school at the movies instead. But fake trials are maybe the most appropriate media to cover the transition -- in the arm & eye of the law -- of the virtual to the real.
(this is one of those really fucking long posts so I can store stuff instead of remembering it)
IANAL (which is a shame these days) but maybe distinctions between "virtual" and "real" aren't that meaningful in legal terms. If you think about the quantification of punitive damages in contemporary lawsuits, maybe that's no more of a stretch than what's going on in the year 2023 or in Star Wars Galaxies.
I'm reminded of it because Ray Kurzweil has somehow staged a mock trial prelimary injunction. Fast forward 20 years, the injunction's been filed by a computer -- "BINA" -- running at 48 exaflops per second, as Moore's Law suggests it might. With that kind of speed, which surpasses human neural activity, and with similarly posthuman memory and storage, Kurzweil proposes that BINA achieves a certain self-awareness. So when BINA becomes aware it is to be disconnected by the corporation it works for, it contacts a lawyer to get an injunction to stay plugged in.
The lawyer that BINA contacts, 20 years from now, is Martine A. Rothblatt, chairperson of United Therapeutics Group. BINA must really be smart, because Rothblatt's a great choice if you know what her background is (and her sponsorship role for Kurzweil, by the way.) Blurry yet?
Less blurry, then, are the moot court proceedings from this year's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas. The court was no more real than Kurzweil's, but the problem is contemporary. And pressing. Edward Castronova (the two words I would say, if I were to say two words to db's Other Economy post) delivered expert testimony involving a theft of virtual property in a virtual world. The theft took place in a fictional world in the "fantasy genre similar to Lord of the Rings." When authorities were called in to investigate, "the rare item stolen from Mr. Martin was found on the defendant's character." I love that part.
Dr. Castronova -- drawing upon his brilliant and groundbreaking work on the economics of synthetic worlds -- managed to convince the court that "the virtual items destroyed during the hack of an online video game constituted real loss." In the end, the jury was unable to conclude whether the defendant had conspired to destroy them or not. But that's not the important part. The important part is understanding that virtual goods are real. Or, as Castronova writes:
Defense counsel Jennifer Granick mounted a strong counter-argument, namely that we might, as a society, decide that it is just too difficult to classify game-related damages as real, just as we shy away from taking cases of lost sexual favors to court, even though there clearly are damages. This powerful argument suggests that losses in something we agree to call a "game" should also be free from legal oversight, even though, in fact, the distinction between game and life is arbitrary. In the end, jury and audience disagreed with this cultural stratagem, preferring instead Prosecutor Richard Salgado's argument that human activity in the allegedly virtual space is not virtual at all. It is real activity and haggles real values and thus, in principle, it deserves the full attention of policy and law.
It doesn't just deserve it, though, it demands it. If you look at Castronova's site, you'll see that the aggregate sales volume of all eBay category 1664 trades since July 1st is 4.4 million US dollars. Some of that will be illegal, probably Kio could give you a projected percentage.
It's only a question of density, the numbers just have to get big enough for the Feds to step in (if it's Feds who step, since what state borders get crossed, exactly? All of them?) It's about density. It's hard to imagine the scale if you imagine these as goods earned through conventional individual gameplay, sold off fancifully. But as dbrown brought to my attention, there are for example, sweatshops in Mexico in which teams of laborers are playing online in shifts, accumulating as much virtual gold as they can. This gold is then sold on eBay for surplus-value hard currency, and you tell me how that's any different than all the other histories of all the New Worlds.
Things are going to happen, and they already are. Julian Dibbell got some of his virtual goods stolen just a few days ago, and PayPal doesn't really know how to talk about that. Meanwhile. Meanwhile, in South Korea a teenager, Han Sang, stole 35 real dollars from his father to buy sunglasses for his avatar. 3.6 million South Koreans have chat-room avatars; the new Korean game "Fortress" has 35 million players already in China. That's the density, and that's where the real crime has emerged first: of the 40,000 cybercrimes in South Korea last year, 22,000 were game-related, says the BBC. One of the biggest crimes involved the theft of virtual goods valued at US $1.3 million.
And if the juridical arm begins to grab at virtual goods, what of virtual behavior? Julian Dibbell first came to my attention in 1998 with his "Rape in Cyberspace" article in the Village Voice. Things are happening in there (in here) and they are parallel but also, like Mexican sweatshops, convergent. Here's a bad example, but only because it's the first one:Shawn Wooley committed suicide after a binge engagement in EverQuest. The game didn't kill him, but perhaps some event in there caused him to be despair in that particular moment. If we all agree that virtual gold is fungible, don't we also need some kind of math to figure out the relationships between the social effects on our characters and those on our selves? Who will legislate that? Who will enforce it? And how? NYU's State of Play conference will ask some of these questions, so will Yale, and part of the answers will come from the games themselves. From the upcoming "Pirates of the Burning Sea":
Griefers beware: our legal system tracks crimes and witnesses, then applies penalties based on the severity of the crime and who saw you commit it. So take down a ship with no one around and you may get away with it — but attack the gold fleet in San Juan harbor and all the forces of the law will be turned loose on you.
Just asking. And here's an idea, I'll never do it, so someone else do it please. We don't need any more "Game Informer" magazines, or "X-Box News" or whatever. And Gama Sutra and Game Culture Studies have done an excellent job on the something-academic front.
But where is the Look, the Life, the National Geographic for this 79th largest country in the world? Where is the journal that has the images from the places you've never been to, but dream about just the same? A Virtual Geographic, if you will. If you would. Idea's free, you just have to come up with a better name.

Hey—Pong. My parents played this game.
In July 1897, Solomon August Andrée and crew set off by hot-air balloon in an attempt to fly to the North Pole. They disappeared without a trace. Thirty-three years later, an expedition found the remains of the expedition, which had crashed three days into the trip. Among the wreckage, a camera. Hearst newspapers, which I think sponsored the trip, recovered the camera and developed the pictures; sorry they're just thumbnails. Thirteen vintage prints are for sale next week at Swann.

so, following a trail that led from my ipod to a nick cave fan site to wikipedia, today we've learned about Louis Wain, who painted some of the world's favorite images of cats. Then he went crazy, was committed to Bedlam, and continued to paint cats. Stage 3 must have been something, I tell you.

"The real reason the administration went to war had nothing to do with terrorism. Indeed, many of the administration's architects of illusion—Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, and Richard Perle, among others—put Iraq squarely in their geopolitical crosshairs while they were out of power during the 1990s. The administration went to war in Iraq to consolidate America's global hegemony and to extend U.S. dominance to the Middle East by establishing a permanent military stronghold in Iraq for the purposes of controlling the Middle Eastern oil spigot (thereby giving Washington enormous leverage in its relations with Western Europe and China); allowing Washington to distance itself from an increasingly unreliable and unstable Saudi Arabia; and using the shadow of U.S. military power to bring about additional regime changes in Iran and Syria."
As if memory came in any other form, as if cities came in any other form.
I was thinking about it recently when db etc and I were at the Met exhibition of French Daguerrotypes. I was thinking it was kind of a shame that photography starts around Paris, since that's one of the only cities on earth that looks pretty much like it did at that very moment in history. Basically, I like city photographs most when they represent what's never or doesn't or was.
Like there's the false memory of James Sanders' Celluloid Skyline, which is kind of a great site, as has been noted. The flash rollover skylines of "visions of the dream city" are dense and small, like digital things should be.
And if those are photographs of a New York that never existed, then Douglas Levere's rephotography of Berenice Abbott's Changing New York are photographs as if the camera itself were a monument. Know what I'm saying, as if the camera itself was the great monument of New York City? It really is, in a way, since Levere uses Abbott's 8×10 "Century Universal" (!) to speak the same language that she did. Speaking the same language, since it's a dialogue.
Geoff Walden's "Third Reich Ruins" is a different kind of dialogue, one with his now-deceased dad, who was stationed in Germany '45-46. Since Walden also runs a nazi-memorabilia sales site and is NRA (he votes!), the intentions of his Berlin are less clear maybe than, e.g. Levere's New York. Quite interesting stuff, though. There is something kind of unique about the "Lost Sites" section of the site, photo above is from there. He has his father's unlabeled photographs of a Germany that no longer exists (that's one up above), and has only the whole wide world to help him identify them. In this, using photography to close some books and open others, I was kind of touched.
To paraphrase, DBrown might have something to say about this. It's a high lob.

These are the "Great Eight" Gambits of Rock Paper Scissors, which is finally being taken about half as seriously as it should. To wit, the World Rock Paper Scissors Society has launched a website for the World RPS Championships.
The videos of the old matches aren't as compelling as they might be, but I admit that playing against the RPS simulator actually felt like some kind of exercise for an undocumented region of my brain.
Cowan's nov. 13 Americana auction has a bunch of interesting lots -- like 24 and 29 star flags -- but the coolest, I think, is a personal diary of a 49er.
""I was delighted with scene a fine grove of large cotwood willow &c cloathed with rich grass some flowers orange buries ect., we soon had grass cut and spread to dry have a fine place to read beneath the shade of a venerable cotwood tree whose ancient bows have oftain spread a refreshing shade for the sculking degraded natives who are unworthy of even this fertile spot they are low & mean." The journal ends with the party arriving at the diggings in Yuba valley, and the last few pages include list of distances from Independence, Mo., to Fort Sutter and then to the puebla of San Jose (where apparently they went), as well as a list of rivers in northern California."
A couple of years ago, when I was very high on the ebay kick, I wondered a lot about whether I could make a living at it. My specialities, though -- and some of you know what they are -- seemed too inconsistent in supply to make a go. Julian Dibbell found a better racket: "THE PROPOSITION On April 15, 2004, I will truthfully report to the IRS that my primary source of income is the sale of imaginary goods -- and that I earn more from it, on a monthly basis, than I have ever earned as a professional writer."
see his "ebay/utlima online market watch (and the ebay market itself, and also his story in wired earlier this year: The Unreal Estate Boom. The 79th Richest Nation on Earth doesn't exist. And, for more human interest, the sidebar, "SERFING THE WEB Black Snow Interactive and the World's First Virtual Sweat Shop" ("They rented office space in Tijuana, equipped it with eight PCs and a T1 line, and hired three shifts of unskilled Mexican laborers to do what most employers would have fired them for: playing online computer games from punch-in to quitting time.")
Kevin might have something to say about this.

Letters from hometown soldiers describing their successes rebuilding Iraq have been appearing in newspapers across the country. And all the letters are the same.
I'll be darned, but I'm really starting to like Wesley Clark. Robert Scheer likes him, and that's almost enough for me right there. And he wrote a very cogent dissection of the war in Iraq, taking a firm stand against the "military-industrial complex" for the New York Review of Books. I'm thinking to myself: I want a president who writes essays for the New York Review of Books. Or even thinks of hiring someone to write one for him.
So here's what I want to know: Is somebody pulling some wool over my eyes?
For example, a fact-checking matter. Clark says that in the NATO Kosovo campaign he ran, no American soldiers, airmen, or Marines were killed in action. Is he obfuscating? Did some other type of servicemen die? How many French soldiers died, etc?
Input requested and appreciated. I honestly don't know what to think.

Today MeFi links to ghost signs, which I could look at for a long time. They're from Toronto, shot by Dave Till.
Because no idea is original, and because every ad in the world is fading, it reminds me of Frank Jump's more local photographs. In the time I've been looking at Jump's photographs, maybe half of the original have disappeared -- painted over, built against, knocked down. This is especially poignant because of Jump's HIV+ status, and his relationship to endurance and survival -- as someone told him: "there's a connection between your survival, the survival of these signs, and your fervent passion to photograph them." Jump himself wrote that "I am committed to continue to express my experience as a survivor with the images of the Fading Ad Campaign."
I wrote him a note four years ago; I wanted to buy two of his photos for two friends of mine (both of you here on saturation). He never did write back, and now looking at his site, I can't be sure where he's at, in the biggest sense of at.
Rumsfeld was asked several times why the changes were necessary. "I think you have to ask Condi that question," he said, according to a transcript posted on the Web site of the Financial Times. Pressed, he said: "I said I don't know. Isn't that clear? You don't understand English? I was not there for the backgrounding."

Article in Forbes magazine: "Mind Games" -- part of a much larger, and rather silly -- article about "neuroscience meets marketing" (reluctant link). Considering they don't truly understand the neurochemistry of mass antidepressants, and considering that marketing itself is only 50% science at best, I'm kind of dubious.
But the Mind Games article concerns G. Clotaire Rapaille -- who I hadn't thought about in several years. Which is funny, given that he's all about "imprinting," in which the human mind has fundamental archetypes, established even before it acquires language. So Rapaille's Archetype Discoveries Worldwide makes the connections between those archetypes and brands that are searching for them. And funny that with research like that, he couldn't make a website with any concession toward conventional principles of usability. Anyway.
It could be that, being French, he's employed by some French PR firm to lift their Nielsen numbers here in the States. Like all of us in advertising, he has to have a certain ambivalence about the brands and products he engages, but there's an actual enthusiasm for them that's rather suprising. Said enthusiasm being most evident in, for example, this interview with Bob Garfield on WNYC. You'll want to read the whole thing through, to get to the part where, referring to the Americans, he exclaims "why I'm American today. I said 'Wow! You know, these guys are just--incredible!'"
I meant to post this the other day. I don't know what to say about it, so I'll just tell you what I know. The New York Times ran an article about a young soldier in Iraq who manned a machine gun and got killed after saving maybe thirty of his men. The article was mostly about his wife and family back here at home. When they sent his body home, they also sent his possessions, including a laptop, and the laptop had a letter home on it.
There's something about the photograph of the letter on the laptop, how far off his spelling was, how Microsoft Word underlined the errors. Like that, it's not so polished, it's not outlook-ready spellcheck perfect. In this, it may be the closest thing we have to the character and idiosyncracies of handwriting, and it affected me maybe because there's not much of that left.
So now sixteen year-olds want the vote, but Wild In The Streets was made nineteen years before they were, so they should maybe just keep stealing PS2 autos and shut the fuck up.
The article's title, from Esquire, is The Falling Man, and it's an extraordinary article from almost any angle. It has the qualities of scrutiny, restraint and passion that I hope for out of a few minutes in a day. This was more than a few minutes. Take the time to read the whole thing.
It's about that photograph, it's about that photograph, and nothing else, or everything else, like time, or no-time, or and xor. Exclusive or.
I remember going to see Blade Runner with my dad with I was ten or so, and there was that scene where Deckard is scrutinizing the photo that the replicant left behind. Remember this scene? Where he is looking at it, speaking to the tele-viewer, scan up, stop, zoom, and I remember thinking what if life was ever like that. And I remember thinking why would replicants have photos in the first place. And I remember learning why they would. Why they did.
But the thing I remember most about it was the desperation, of zooming all the way in, of begging a pixel, one fucking pixel, begging some pixel to provide meaning. To ask a pixel to give it up. No bigger than the period on a sentence, and no less final.
9/11 was the most photographed historic event in human history. All those photographs, Here Is New York, and whatever, and whatever. It was impossible to not see, and this meant it was impossible to look. Richard Drew, the photographer, he saw something from hell. But he had a camera in front of his face, like sunglasses. Like a mask.
But when you read Tom Junod's article, it becomes clear he's got nothing at all between him and those pixels and that falling man, and it becomes clear why it's worth looking, even at the things you've seen a thousand times, and especially at the things you've seen a thousand times.

Plenty of RV rentals are available for that trail run before you go out and purchase that used or new RV!
The easiest RV rentals are from large metropolitan areas that have a lot of traveling tourists - Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, etc.
People from all over the world will fly to one of these cities to rent an RV for a trip ranging from a week to a month or longer!
If you ever have spent time in Southern Utah, you will remember seeing all kinds and types of RV Rentals on the highways!
most common rentals are the Class B & Class C RV's.
These can easily handle a small family while they travel and visit the
countryside - all without having to pack and repack every few days!
The Class B vehicle rentals are available but not as plentiful, since they are smaller and won't handle a family for an extended period of time.
A large Class A Motorhome rental is much more expensive and difficult to arrange - unless you are a rock star!!
Obviously, a Class A Diesel Pusher is a hefty investment to just rent out. It can be done, but not at your local airport! Many of the national recreational vehicle rental companies indicate they provide motorhome rentals; but, many times it will be a Class A Gas type or a shorter Class A Diesel.
Several Rental companies that handle Class A's are:
Another "unofficial" source would be your local storage facility. Many times they will have several large Class A RV's in storage that the owner(s) would just love to rent out! Try to stop in at the office when the storage facility manager is there.
Many times they can be a great source of who might be interested in renting their Class A RV.
Since these are the most common and most readily available, let's look at these in depth. Aside from the very large nationwide rental companies that rent these out, your local RV Dealer is an excellent source for Class C or even 5th wheel rentals.
The rental fees will usually include so much mileage per day. The basic rental will have a generator included with a few hours per day in their rate.
However, beyond that, almost everything else is a rental option - kitchen utensils, pots and pans, sheets, pillows, blankets, etc. They will also charge a flat cleaning fee - no matter how clean it is when you return it - plus, perhaps a restocking fee for all the "necessities" you included.
You must read the rental agreement very carefully! What you "assume" is a weekly rental charge can be much higher when all is said and done!
Some Large Nationwide RV Class C & B Rental Companies would be:
Recreational Vehicles Rentals are great for a family vacation or wanting to try out living and traveling in an RV; however, it is a serious contract!
Your typical Automobile Insurance that you carry for your personal vehicles will probably not cover enough for when you rent a RV or it's contents, since you will be living in it.
Do NOT drive into Mexico or Canada!
All of your rental contracts are designed for travel within the 48 states only - not Mexico or Canada!
Each will require a separate endorsement for Vehicle Insurance. As always, read all the fine print before you rent a motorhome!

Wouter Basson, a cardiologist who is currently facing four charges of unethical and unprofessional conduct, testified on Monday that his involvement in South African chemical and biological warfare programs was aimed at saving lives.
The charges against Basson relate to his activities when he was the head of the country's biological and chemical warfare research program for the defense force during the apartheid era in the 1980s and early 1990s. He testified before the Health Professions Council of South Africa that the chief of the defense force and surgeon general approached him in the early 1980s to create a system that would protect the country against biological and chemical warfare, Daily News reports.
"The guidelines were given by the surgeon general, who was a medical doctor of international standing and who advised several governments in other countries," Basson said, according to Daily News. "As a medical doctor I could live with the idea that I was preventing injuries and death through my involvement in developing the substances."
Basson said that he was employed to develop a more humane way to control crowds and that the council should look at his decision in the context of the times. He showed a video clip to the council of a man being stoned and set on fire by a crowd.
"My recollection is that I felt I could make a difference...I could stop that senseless violence and damage to property by breaking the cohesion of the crowd that is involved," Basson said, according to Daily News. "Seeing those videos again gave me the same feeling of stress and heart palpitations. We're looking at a crowd that is totally oblivious - children were involved. It was like a Sunday picnic."
Basson said that the weapons did not advance to the pre-production level and that the substances were not used on the ground.

Needless to say, it's not a matter of if terrorists will strike soft targets in the U.S., but when. The present state of affairs screams for as many law abiding Americans to be armed as possible. We have to be the guarantors of our own safety, because the Obama Administration is incompetent.
Quick! Someone pass a bunch of laws to disarm us. If this happens and we shoot a muslim there could be a lawsuit by CAIR and a sternly worded letter from Euroterash.
Obama determined we could 'absorb' terrorist strikes so....time to give up the guns and pretend we're 2-ply toilet paper folks. It's the patriotic thing to do!
Wow, what a bold perdiction - terrorist attacks sometime within the next year possibly targeting a wide range of things somewhere.
Perhaps the mythology that these people can be peaceably dealt with will end. That's the only positive thing I can see from this. Hope you and yours are safe.
<< he has a pal who is a BND career guy who has focused his work in the Middle East for few decades; therefore, in that the BND is the CIA of Germany he works closely with MOSSAD the INTEL agency/operator group from Israel.>>
Kind of like "My barber's cousin has a friend whose wife heard from her uncle, who overheard a conversation on an elevator, that emerging Middle East goat meat futures are going to double in value real soon, so I spent my entire life savings buying as much as I could."
Reichstag fire events leading to martial law and suspension of the Constitution.
Not to worry - I'm sure the vacationer-in-chief is talking with these peace-loving Muslims who we have turned into America-haters and telling them to give up their weapons.
Oh, wait a minute, that's the American citizens he's doing that to.
I have good intel that there will be at least one more snowstorm this year. Also, that there will be a few next year and the year after.
I have good intel that my dog will bark to go out between now and 8 o'clock tonight.
In both cases, these are easy predictions because of the very nature of the weather, and of dogs.
Regarding terrorism from the death cult, predicting attacks from them is a no-brainer, because that's their very nature - yelling, screaming, headchopping, blowing things up.
Their man is in the White House, and jihadi-loving marxists control the senate, so they don't have to worry about reprisals.
Like Lloyd Bridges once said, "its a bad day to defund TSA."
I've said, we're going to be lucky, if we get through the Age of Obama without a major catastrophe. Clinton lucked out in that the big hit of 9/11 came after his term ended, but was birthed, planned and set into operation, while he was President.
After 9/11/01 the enemy had to play defense as the George Bush administration went after them in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US chose the battlefield. But now, we are tired of war and are withdrawing within our borders. And we can expect the enemy to go on the attack. They will! Put yourself in their place. They are now free to operate wherever they wish. Who is to stop them? - not the US. Essentially we are following the Vietnam model, only this time the enemy will keep on, keep on coming.
Well, they have to come in to this country at some entry point. If It'll help, I could give them driving instructions to Chicago and Detroit........

CROMWELL — A decision by Eagle Federal Savings Bank to close its newly acquired branch at Campo Center on Shunpike Road is not sitting well with the owner of the property.
``It's not fair at all,'' Joseph N. Cambareri, owner of Campo Center, said Wednesday.
The decision leaves Cambareri with a mortgage on the building but no income from a tenant.
The branch had been part of the Bank of Hartford, which the state banking commissioner closed June 10 because of mounting losses from bad loans, particularly in real estate.

PARISProject ID: 22105
Financé au titre de:
Usability optimization and productivity enhancement of the integrated layout tool Paris
Détails concernant le projet
Coût total:EUR 278 000
Contribution de l'UE:EUR 278 000
Coordonné à/au(x)/en:Austria
Régime de financement:ACM - Preparatory, accompanying and support measures
- Speed up the development time and reduce the risk of the introduction of a new CAD tool byachieving a simple and intuitive, yet powerful and flexible, user interface and software structure.
- Decrease the development cost of ICs by utilising a development tool which is capable of running under a variety of operating systems and hardware platforms, including workstations as well as PCs.
- Feedback from the participating ASIC design companies to the software developers for user driven optimisation of PARIS with respect to the user's experience and requirements.
- Improvement of the adaptability of the software to the user's style as well as better understanding of the designer's philosophy and handling practice.
- Achieve a better market acceptance by cooperation with industrial users and providing a fully evaluated and demonstrated tool in a reference project for potential customers.
In order to reduce costs and increase the productivity in integrated circuit and system design, the new design tool PARIS was developed and combined with a technology independent layout module generator for the realisation of complex mixed-signal circuits. PARIS will be evaluated in the course of this project by using it in the design of a sensor ASIC. Major aspects of the evaluation will be the optimisation of the user interface, the enhancement of the module generators as well as the streamlining of technology file generation and administration. Compliance of the tool's interfaces with a number of industry standard data formats will be verified by cross-checking the layout and mask data with renowned manufacturers' database specifications.

I started playing music when I was 12 years old. I joined my first band at 13, mostly covering Led Zeppelin and RATM. We were a rowdy bunch haha. Over the years my musical interest has shifted and expanded to cover many genres. I was born in New Jersey, but have lived in Washington state for almost 10 years. When I'm not playing music (which is not very often 😁) I go hiking, rock climbing, play chess, or relax at the beach.

Hi guys
As you all know, it isn't just great skincare and makeup that helps to create a gorgeous looking face. There are a lot of little bits that go into it such as tweezing, bleaching, derma rolling, derma blading (if you do that, I don't!) and many more things we need to go through. So this post is all about my beauty essentials. Some I do every day, some a few times a week and others once per week. These aren't glamourous, but they are pretty essential to keep yourself prepped and preened to perfection.
1. Tweezers
Tweezers are an absolute must have in your beauty regime guys, they will remove those pesky little hairs and keep your brows looking clean. There are so many different brands out there but I have been loving the Tweezerman Slants (£22.99) as they tug on those pesky little hairs that just won't budge.
2. Hand Cream
Winter has well and try kicked in and the one thing I reach for is hand cream. This is an absolute necessity as I want to keep my hands hydrated and nourished, plus I don't want 80 year olds by the time I am 40. I keep Soap and Glory Hand Food (£6) or the Neutrogena Nourishing Hand Cream with Nordic Berry (£4.19) in my college bag as I reapply about 20 times a day so it's nice to have one when I am out and about. I also keep one beside my bed and one in the bathroom ha-ha. I am obsessed.
3. Eyelash Curlers
I don't reach for these every day but when I go out with friends, I like to give my lashes a little curl before applying mascara. These don't have to be expensive. Sure you can buy some expensive ones such as Kevyn Aucoin (£17) ones but I have Superdrug Curlers (£1.99) and they work just as well.
4. Pencil Sharpener
If you are a fan of brow pencils, eyeliners and lip liners then you will definitely need a sharpener to make sure they are sharp and ready to use. I have the Bourjois Pencil Sharpener (£3.49) which has a normal size hole and a larger one for any jumbo pencils you may have in your collection.
5. Nail Polish Remover
If you have as much of a nail polish fetish as me then you will need to have a good remover too. I find the Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover (£4.99) to be the best as it removes every trace of polish, it's very gentle and doesn't strip my nails.
6. Concealer
Come on now, a concealer is a must have beauty essential. Even if you don't wear makeup, concealer will help to cover any blemishes, redness and dark circles. Once you cover those, your skin will look flawless. If you are lucky enough to not have any of these issues, then skip this paragraph. I have two drugstore favourites and they are Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4.19) and Rimmel Wake Me Up (£5.49)
7. Eyebrow Brush and Spoolie
I need a brush and a spoolie. Its as simple as that. Even on days where I don't wear makeup, I like to brush through my brows to help them look tidy as they can be a little unruly. These are pretty inexpensive and can be bought pretty much anywhere. I have this Superdrug Brush & Comb (£1.99) and this Morphe Spoolie Brush (£2.95) which I'm sure you can agree, are very cheap.
8. Hair Brush
This is a no brainer really! We want out hair to look presentable so I always keep a brush in my bag to run though my hair throughout the day. I have this Tangle Teezer (£6.90) that I can keep in my bag so I have it to hand if I need it.
These are my top picks guys. I'm sure there are many more but these are the ones I reach for mostly. Is there anything that you have in place of one of my items? If you want to pick up any of these items and they happen to be from Superdrug, then use this £5 money off code for purchases over £40.
What are your beauty essentials?
I hope you all have a nice relaxing week guys!

One of these things are idiots. Morons. Imbeciles. You can find them almost anywhere, but some places seem to be breeding grounds for these Einsteins. I don't know why you'd WANT to find idiots, since they're actually very irritating, but just in case you do, go to these places:
1. Fast Food Restaurants/Drive-Thru
I ordered a medium chocolate milkshake, and you gave a jumbo Dr. Pepper with fries. I'm sorry, but there's NO way you misheard that. I'm not really a fan of fast food, because deep fried chicken intestines isn't really my thing, but I can confidently say that the few times I get fast food a year, it takes much longer than it should. First off, if you work in a fast food restaurant, do all of your customers a favor and have a general knowledge of what's on the menu. (Is it even considered a "menu?" It sounds too classy.) Oh, and also, learn how to count money and give change. Just a suggestion here, too, but maybe whoever works the drive-thru shouldn't sound like they just had a root canal and have cotton shoved in their mouth.
2. Facebook
This is a little different, because whatever idiots you find on here are still throwing their stupidity in your face; it's just not in person. If you're patrolling Facebook for idiots, look for the following:
- Individuals who talk about Jersey Shore too often. Exhibit A: "Watching Jersey Shoreee, bitches! Text the celly. Love yaaa. xoxoxo." Bite me.
- People who tag their significant other in every status message, with a paragraph about how amazing they are. Exhibit B: "I. Loooove. Joe Imgonnaspamyournewsfeed. Sooo much. He's sooo amazing nd he's so cute. his eyes are the beautiful color of a rotten blueberry smashed on the bottom of my white sandal. He kills bugs for me because he's sooo brave and he's more jacked than Hercules and Beowulf combined." He's Steve Urkel in a polo shirt. Shut up.
If you don't agree with this, you're probably one of the many Walmart idiots. When I say that Walmart is like the main hall in the castle overlooking the land of idiocy, I really mean that 99.9% of the Walmart population is fucking STUPID. Either that, or terrifying. Sorry I said fucking; don't hate me. Also, if you shop at Walmart, I'm sorry. I have this constant nagging feeling during every second I'm forced to spend in this Godforsaken store that: A. Some idiot is going to ram their cart into the back of my legs and then glare at me like I ran over their pet shih tzu and then got in their way, or B. I'm going to get raped and/or murdered in the dressing room/middle of the store in broad daylight. Actually, just the latter. I've never been in a Walmart dressing room. It's probably frightening and resembles a bathroom more than their actual bathroom.
On a separate note, I would like to know from all of you... Would you rather be attacked by fifty duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck? I want to know. I don't know why.
I would pick the duck-sized horses...

text: When your child expresses an interest in learning to play a musical instrument, you shouldn't get too carried away and buy the latest model of that particular musical instrument. Children can easily change their mind, so you have to be sure first if that is what they really want. If it is really something that they are serious about, look for more affordable options. There are retailers that offer affordable drum set and other common musical instruments such as guitars and keyboards. You can get huge savings if you buy from them.

WASHINGTON -- When advocates of the right to bear arms overwhelmingly lost an attempt to recall California state Sen. and former state Senate President David Roberti earlier this month in a special election, there was much talk about how voters were coming to their senses on the issue of gun control.
Roberti, a 28-year Democratic legislative veteran, was targeted by local members of the National Rifle Association and other gun enthusiasts because he had authored a 1989 act outlawing assault weapons after the killing of four children and the wounding of 34 others in a schoolyard in Stockton, Calif. Proponents of the recall candidly acknowledged that they hoped a successful recall would be a warning to other legislators who crossed the NRA and other Second Amendment stalwarts.
Other factors, however, were importantly involved in the recall's defeat. One was the fact that Roberti was already subject to a new term-limits law and would be leaving the state Senate at the end of this year anyway. Another was the price tag to taxpayers of an estimated $800,000 for the special election, forced by the gathering of sufficient recall petitions. Polls showed that voters overwhelmingly viewed that expense as a waste, especially in light of Roberti's imminent departure from that office.

John Abercrombie m. Mable Cox
In reply to:
Edwina P Abercrombie 1907 Marietta GA
Edwina Pauline Abercrombie married Valentine Joseph Riddell December 22, 1924 in Vancouver, WA (Clark County). From marriage application information, Edwina's name was listed as Pauline Abercrombie, her place of residence as Walla Walla, Washington. Her parents names were John Abercrombie and Mable Cox, both born in Roswell, Georgia. Other info. also provides birthplaces as Marietta, Georgia. Barbara Abercrombie Gamble, daughter of Marion Talmadge Abercrombie, recalls a story of John Abercrombie (Marion's older brother) having a first wife who left early with a daughter. John later remarried a woman named Emma. His first wife (Mable Cox Abercrombie?) departed with their only daughter (whom we are hoping is Edwina Pauline Abercrombie) to Walla Walla, Washington, as this "tale" was told to Barbara Gamble by her mother Mary Elizabeth (Blackwell) Abercrombie. Anyone hearing of similar story or information, please contact me. Thank you.

Transacting with merchants from other countries can be tough. This renders it necessary to use caution as you are not only bound by problems physical distance, but the legal system between the two locations will also likely be different. Upon paying off a product, it is important that you know and understand that your own credit card number and details are stored in their servers "forever", therefore it is always vulnerable to neglectful database or site security. Prior to purchasing, see if the shipping charges are pricey, as there are suppliers that earn their income on the shipping fees instead of the merchandise itself. A decent e-commerce website will make use of a shopping cart which takes note of the products selected there by the consumer in case the client needs to log off so that he/she does not need to start from scratch in case he/she chooses to keep on shopping a couple of days later on. Many online merchants recognize credit card payouts. Searching for budget online stores that offer older versions of software wherein it can save you up to 50 % the actual original price (when it has been newly introduced). The arrival of the Online World has given all of us e-commerce, a trendy method of acquiring items without having to leave the convenience of your home. Investigating the seller of an merchandise you intend on bidding is not really a really bad idea as this will allow you to get a document of their background which means you can check whether or not they perpetrated any fraudulent sales before or not. One of the better ways to purchase inexpensive goods on the internet is via discount coupons. When on the check out page and you see a coupon passcode box offered, it can save you money to look for a couple of minutes for these discount codes.
If you are managing a physical store, you must own a shop on totally different areas to serve even more shoppers. However, with an online store, you only need to have one and still get to serve a lot of shoppers anywhere globally. A few sites provide very low shipping rates, a few base their particular shipping charges with regards to distance, while some offer predetermined fee shipping charges no matter what the destination. Because shipping fees change according to site or merchant, this makes it essential to check out the shipping fees first before purchasing to determine if you're willing to pay for their shipping fees. Asking them questions is common if you are interested in knowing more about the item up for bid. However, when the seller cannot answer your questions in a satisfactory way, then you definitely ought to avoid putting in a bid for the product. It is a recognized reality that people are qualified for free delivery when they buy huge items such as desktops, exercise equipment and fridges. The fad of online businesses is growing because not only are you able to shop for the items you want at affordable prices, but you can also obtain pretty much roughly anything you can think of online. Don't be fooled by the pictures shown regarding the goods up for sale. It is best to read through their particular product descriptions properly and look for terms that point out some things concerning the merchandise. When purchasing a product on-line, the purchase price must be displayed fully and include every cost such as taxes and shipping & handling. Putting in a bid on things you do not need or do not actually know about might actually cause you to repent bidding on them initially, especially if you win the bidding process. It is simply advisable to avoid bidding on items you don't really need. Be wary of emails from firms or persons you don't really know, specially those that talk about riches and wellness. These email messages tend to be sent out by con artists in order to lure you to their bad deal.
Ebay advertises and stretches its webshop by means of partenership methods. This subsequently helps webmasters to receive commission. Hitting upon any of the products offered right here will point you to the ebay outlet. In no way should you do business with a web store that lacks a transparent online privacy policy. Do not be lured by fraudulent email messages informing you that your record is going to be shut down if you do not log-on utilizing the hyperlink the company has furnished. Don't disclose your own private credit card details to any person through electronic mail. There are some credit card firms that will give an incentive to their customers with cash rebates and also dual guarantees whenever they purchase certain items. Previous possessors of a product or owners of rivalling items are generally offered big special discounts every time they buy the newest editions or updates for their existing goods.

There are plenty of situations on the news stating that you will find deceiving online dealers who actually generally take prepayments but never ever send out the items to their client, therefore it is wise to do not ever send out cash for orders done on the net. Acquiring their products in big amounts allows web stores to generate more profit simply because they save a great deal by means of purchasing in large quantities. Try and see if the product available for bidding comes along with any guarantee just in case any maintenance services are accessible when needed. Bear in mind however that a lot of vendors are unable to offer any sort of services for the products they sell. In case you are not up for any transaction with no proper protection, make sure to not make any bid. For people who shop on the web using their smart phone or tablet, by no means should you click "yes" any time you are required to keep your password on every single internet shopping site. Doing this will help you avoid the chance of illegal entry to your confidential information online in the event somebody else manages to get your smartphone. Some people use e-mail to steal account information. If you ever receive any email inquiring you to bring up to date your account information, ensure to never ever respond to it or click any of the backlinks within the e-mail. Visiting the site directly is the proper and most secure way. Before buying merchandise over the internet, you ought to know first the store's rules on returning items. This approach can help you recognize their regulations and rules concerning what type of goods can or can't be returned.
There are lots of vendors online that have a hefty upfront transport cost, nonetheless they normally have a cheaper per-item shipment cost on added products. Some auction sites can not be held accountable if the merchandise being sold are counterfeits because they have no means of validating whether they are authentic or not. This means it is according to the discernment of a consumer if he or she likes to carry on with bidding for a merchandise.

We venture onward.
The next couple photos show the Presidente Sarmiento, an old Argentinean naval ship that's been converted to a museum.
That's all for today. Tomorrow we venture home and stroll past the Ministry of Defense building and catch the sunset and some street performers at a huge outdoor market….

Eugene Kaspersky, Chairman and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, will be joining the first ever Antarctic Biennale – a creative journey that will bring together artists, scientists and technology visionaries from all over the world, to explore and create a universal cultural future for Antarctica. Kaspersky Lab actively supports the project, which will take the contributors on a 12-day expedition from Argentina to the Antarctic and back. Each expedition member will be an eyewitness and a contributor to the art-making process.
MOSCOW, 02-Feb-2017 — /EuropaWire/ — The art expedition under UNESCO's patronage will start on March 16, 2017 in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, where the participants will board the research ship 'Akademik Ioffe'. During landings at various Antarctic locations, artists will temporarily install works of art, or engage in performances. Mobility, proportionality to the space, ecological compatibility, artistic expressiveness and conceptual acuity will be the themes of these art objects. All installations created during the expedition will be dismantled and loaded back on the ship, to continue their lives in the world's leading museums and art centers.
"Antarctica is the last truly free space and a model for the future; and according to the Antarctic Treaty (1959) and related international agreements it is intended exclusively for creative activities and scientific research in the interests of all humanity", says Alexander Ponomarev, the project's leader, artist, sailor, and philosopher. "Antarctica is the continent that can encourage people to think about the future of humanity and culture, providing an opportunity to create new ways of seeing life on our planet."
Among the artists joining the Antarctic Biennale are Tomas Saraceno, Zhang Enli, Lara Favaretto, Matthew Ritchie and Hani Rashid.
Alexander Ponomarev believes that this journey will be "a revolution that changes the vector" because it is "a unique sociocultural phenomenon". He comments: "Instead of the usual national pavilions, we will face the icy inaccessibility of the Antarctic continent. Instead of pompous apartments, we will reside in ascetic cabins. Instead of the chaotic creative wanderings, we will experience a conjunction with great nature and an explosion of consciousness through dialogue with scientists, futurists, and technology visionaries."
Commenting on his upcoming journey to Antarctica with the Biennale, Eugene Kaspersky, Chairman and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, said: "We have supported Antarctic expeditions in the past, but this will be the biggest project for us on the continent. I think it will be a fascinating endeavor and I made my decision to support it when I saw the genuine passion from the organizers. The Antarctic is like no other place on earth; it's a shared continent without borders that's both beautiful and fragile in its barely inhabitable wilderness. I've already been there – and I think it's a place that provides plenty of inspiration for artistic exploration and expression. I'm really excited to be participating in the expedition, and I'm looking forward to all the art it will produce."
