THE European Union is considering whether it could encourage countries to make long-term economic changes by offering them loans at below-market rates, an EU official told reporters in Brussels yesterday.
The idea is to spur reform in areas like labour policy, vocational training or the judicial system, the official said on condition of anonymity because the proposal is still in early planning stages.
The loans could be made available to smaller countries that don't have reliable market access, while bigger nations might benefit from looser budget targets in exchange for reform commitments, according to the official.
National diplomats will get their first look at the plan next week during a preparatory meeting for an EU leaders' summit in December. At the summit, heads of government aim to settle on a framework for designing so-called contractual agreements that would supplement existing EU budget rules.
The sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone that began in Greece in late 2009 prompted EU leaders to back unprecedented levels of economic and regulatory co-ordination.
The 17-nation currency bloc has agreed to new budget rules, put the European Central Bank in charge of bank supervision and pledged to create a common system for managing struggling banks.
EU President Herman Van Rompuy floated the prospect of European financing for countries that promised reforms under a road map last year to strengthen the region's long-term future.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who leads Europe's biggest economy, said that only a "limited" pool of as much as €20bn could be made available for countries that sign economic-reform contracts.
If the contractual agreements proceed, they would be aimed at countries that aren't already bound by a fully fledged rescue programme or sanctions tied to macroeconomic imbalances, the EU official said.
There aren't yet any fixed proposals about where the money for loans might come from. Preliminary ideas include the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) or a similar new vehicle that could raise money in the markets and lend to individual nations on behalf of the currency bloc.
The overall proposal could be extended to nations that plan to join the euro as well as those already using the common currency, the official said.
The euro area's recovery came close to a halt in the third quarter as German growth slowed, France's economy unexpectedly shrank and Italy extended its record-long recession. Gross domestic product in the euro area rose 0.1pc in the three months through September, cooling from a 0.3pc expansion in the second quarter, the EU's statistics office in Luxembourg said last week.

Remarksexquisitely finished movement divided Glashütte three-quarter plate with stripe finish screw balance with 18 weighted screws swan-neck fine adjustment skeletonized rotor with 21 ct gold oscillation weight bevelled edges polished steel parts with perlage
Sophisticated complications
It's considered one of the greatest challenges of the watchmaker's art: The Perpetual Calendar indicates not only the weekday, date and month, but leap years as well. The Senator Collection lends this sophisticated complication a face as elegant as it is contemporary.
Harmonious design
The dial of this elegant timepiece presents each of the displays as part of a clear and harmonious whole. Along with the Panorama Date, weekday, month and leap year displays, the Senator Perpetual Calendar shows the moon phase in a separate window at 7 o'clock. Every detail is executed with elaborate care: from the galvanic starry sky to the domed moon relief.
Easy to use
The calendar functions – the Panorama Date at 4 o'clock, weekday at 10 and month at 2 o'clock – are easily set using quick correctors on the case. A practical universal corrector makes it possible, in addition, to synchronise the linked displays with the leap year, which is indicated by a red dot above the centre of the dial.
Intelligent mechanics
When setting the watch a clever reset-to-zero function allows one to synchronise the watch's second hand with the standard time. Contrary to other zero-reset mechanisms the seconds hand is linked to neither the winding shaft or the crown - thus the balance keeps moving and the movement continues to run, which reduces material wear and tear.

The sapphire crystal case back allows one to admire the artful details of the movement within.

NORTHBRIDGE � A Roman Catholic priest involved in discussions with Pine Grove Cemetery trustees to have St. Patrick's Parish assume control of the historic nondenominational burial ground has accused critics of the proposal of religious prejudice.
After news reports last month about trustees' secret talks to transfer ownership of the financially troubled 47-acre cemetery to St. Patrick's Parish or to the town, or to sell open land to Whitinsville Christian School, a group of area residents formed Friends of Pine Grove Cemetery and urged trustees to maintain the nondenominational mission embraced by the Whitin family when it founded the cemetery in 1878.
In a post published Saturday on the Friends of Pine Grove Cemetery website, which was also emailed to parishioners and communicated in the parish weekly bulletin, the Rev. Michael Broderick, pastor of St. Patrick's, wrote, in part:
"While my first interest was in helping Pine Grove Cemetery, this publicity has incurred a very negative side effect. What has happened is that the flames of religious intolerance have been fanned under the guise of preservation. Having been referred to as a 'religious sect' by a member of the Whitin family, and with profound ignorance of Roman Catholic traditions and theology, and erroneous information having been manipulated by others, Christianity and Catholicism itself, have been found to be the targets of a very virulent strain of secularism masquerading as 'good intentions.'
"While I believe this represents a very small minority of people in a town of nearly 14,000, it is nonetheless, a very frightening aspect that must be called out and identified for what it truly is: religious prejudice."
Rev. Broderick continued that most of the Whitin family were devout Congregationalists.
A person pointed out in a website comment: "But he doesn't think it's important to note that they didn't give the cemetery to the Congregational Church to run? They didn't give it to any church to operate, but set it up as a separate entity. And that's the point here."
Rev. Broderick did not return a call asking for comment about his post.
Shelley J. Buma of Whitinsville, one of the organizers of Friends of Pine Grove Cemetery, said in an email: "It's unfortunate and disheartening that a party descended to hurling invective, playing the prejudice card, and crying the victim. It does not become the writer of the comments and does not further the discussion in a constructive, civil manner.
"The question still remains as to whether the parish and/or Diocese of Worcester have interest in acquiring Pine Grove. The private nonprofit cemetery was endowed in 1878 by members of the Whitin family and for 135 years has had no religious affiliation. Friends of Pine Grove Cemetery is opposed to the historic cemetery being transferred to a religious entity."
Ms. Buma also forwarded an email that the friends group received from Rev. Broderick asking that the church's publicly available contact information be removed from the list of town and church officials involved in discussions about the cemetery. The email concludes: "Failure to do so may result in legal action."
The email was copied only to Timothy P. Wickstrom, a Pine Grove Cemetery Association trustee and partner in his family's law firm, Wickstrom Morse. Ms. Buma and others have questioned the potential conflict of interest facing Mr. Wickstrom, an active member and parish volunteer at St. Patrick's.
When asked recently about his ties to the church possibly conflicting with his role as a Pine Grove trustee, Mr. Wickstrom replied in an email: "I have no conflict."
Transfer of Pine Grove Cemetery, if it occurs, might also still go to the town. At Monday's meeting of the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager Theodore D. Kozak presented five goals for the coming year, including: "Evaluate and provide recommendation on acquisition of Pine Grove Cemetery by the town."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UCSB clawed their way back from a 5-3 deficit with three runs combined in the sixth and seventh innings to escape with a 6-5 victory Saturday afternoon at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.
UC Santa Barbara improved to 26-10, 7-7 on the season with the series clincher and now have won three games straight. UC Riverside dropped to 17-21, 6-5 with the loss and have gone in the exact opposite direction, losing their third game in a row.
The Gauchos were led offensively by Robby Nesovic and Campbell Wear, each collecting two hits and a walk while combing for three RBIs. Tyler Kuresa also had a multi-hit day at the plate while Joey Epperson was hitless, but drew two walks.
The Highlanders drew first blood, scoring three runs in the first inning, highlighted by Francisco Tellez's two-run home run over the right field fence. After being hitless through two innings, the Gauchos would roar back and tie the score with three runs of their own in the third. Wear and Woody Woodward sparked the rally, leading off the inning with infield singles. They would move to third on Peter Maris's sacrifice bunt, and Wear would score on a sacrifice fly from Kuresa after Epperson walked to load the bases. With Woodward and Epperson on second and third and two outs, Nesovic came through as usual, sending both of them home with a single to left and tying the game at 3-3.
UC Riverside broke the tie instantly, scoring two runs of their own on Matthew Ellis's RBI single and Cody Hough's RBI fielder's choice. UCSB would get two baserunners in both the fourth and fifth innings, but could not score. The Highlanders could not hold off the Gauchos in the sixth inning however, as Wear cut the lead in half with an RBI double, scoring Cameron Newell from first. UCSB would turn the tables for good on UC Riverside in the seventh, thanks to an error from the third baseman Cody Hough on Devon Gradford's sacrifice bunt with Nesovic and Kuresa on first and second and no outs. Kuresa would score on the error, with Nesovic advancing to third and Gradford reaching second. Newell would do enough to grab the lead for the Gauchos, hitting an RBI groundout to second to score Nesovic and give UCSB a 6-5 lead that would hold up thanks to a great bullpen effort.
After the Highlanders scored two runs in the fourth, UCSB starter Austin Pettibone, Greg Mahle, and Dillon Tate pitched five scoreless innings, allowing the Gauchos come back and hold on for the 6-5 victory. Pettibone struggled early with five runs allowed, four earned, in the first four innings, but recovered to get through six innings with no further damage. Mahle would pitch a scoreless seventh inning and recorded the win, improving to 6-2 on the season. Tate had an outstanding day, pitching two no-hit innings with five strikeouts to record his 10th save of the season.
Zack Varela started the game on the mound for UC Riverside, pitching six innings with four earned runs allowed. Angel Landaruzi allowed two runs, one earned, in 1.2 innings. Landaruzi allowed the tie-breaking run, thus recording the loss and dropping to 2-2 on the year.
Devin Bolasky, Tellez, and Drake Zarate led the way on offense for the Highlanders, each recording multiple hits. David Andriese was hitless, but drew three of the team's four walks.
UCSB and UC Riverside face off tomorrow afternoon as the Gauchos go for the sweep. First pitch begins at 1:00 p.m.

Google is working on a Google Wallet credit card for use when its tap-and-pay feature isn't available.
While it may seem a bit 2002, the credit card idea still has legs. Screenshots from the new Google Wallet service tells of using a credit card that can also be used to redeem special offers, CNET reported. The credit card also allows users to transfer cash from person to person, add and withdraw money and also use it on public transit.
The original Google Wallet on Android smartphones uses near-field communication (NFC) technology to communicate with retailers -- or also known as tap-and-pay. Unfortunately for Google Wallet, it faces some stiff competition. PayPal, Square and other companies are also trying to create a virtual wallet.
It's odd that a virtual wallet app is creating a physical credit card -- so much so, that we're not that sure we believe the screenshots. Of course, it could have been a mock-up idea that was never meant to be realized. Either way, we hope that Google Wallet comes up with better features than a physical credit card.

Cricket: Australia in total command for second Test against Sri Lanka
SRI LANKA found wickets hard to come by on day two of their second Test against Australia, with the hosts in complete control at the MCG.
After being skittled out for 156 yesterday, Sri Lanka returned to the field with Australia perched at 150 for three. By the close they had added 290 runs for the loss of five wickets, with their 440 for eight putting them 284 in front.
As has been the way for Australia in 2012, captain Michael Clarke glued everything together, with his 22nd Test hundred the standout innings, although he was ably assisted by Shane Watson (83) and Mitchell Johnson (73no).
In making 106, Clarke became the highest-ever Australian run-scorer in a calendar year, with his running tally of 1595 from 11 Tests better than Ricky Ponting's 1544 in 15.
Already 1-0 down in a best-of-three series, Sri Lanka`s chances of heading home next month with something to their name are remote, especially with Australia adding runs from everywhere.
That Johnson, often maligned as a player, cracked his score from number eight shows what the tourists are up against.
Johnson provided a substantial roadblock in the final session of the day, with he, Mike Hussey and Peter Siddle upping the tea score of 332 for six to what it was at the close.
Two wickets did fall, though, with Hussey finding Rangana Herath - running backwards and away to his left for a brilliant one-handed take - off the occasional bowling of Tillakaratne Dilshan for 34, and Siddle nicking Shaminda Eranga to the slips (13).
Before that, it had been all about Clarke and Watson whose 194 partnership was a fourth-wicket record at the MCG.
But after Clarke broke Ponting's record, Sri Lanka fought back with three wickets in quick succession.
Clarke chased a wide one from Eranga and was caught by Mahela Jayawardene at second slip, before Watson, in similar style to David Warner (62) on the opening day, holed out to Thilan Samaraweera at deep square leg off the bowling of Dhammika Prasad in the next over as Australia's score fell quickly to 313 for five.
It was a poor shot from Watson and the Australia vice-captain will rue the fact that he missed a golden chance to record his third Test century, having looked at ease in registering his 19th career fifty.
When Matthew Wade followed Watson and Warner's lead and hooked a short one from Prasad to Eranga on the boundary, Australia were reduced to 315 for six.
The tourists also could have had Hussey late in the session, but the veteran Australian was dropped by stand-in wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara off the bowling of Rangana Herath and then survived a close call for lbw on the next delivery.
Sangakkara is keeping wicket in place of Prasanna Jayawardene, who sustained a thumb injury when dismissed by Johnson on the opening day.
Sri Lanka also picked up another injury early on the second day when paceman Chanaka Welegedara hurt his hamstring following a delivery in the first hour.
That has left Mahela Jayawardene without too many bowling options and the Sri Lanka captain has used Herath for the majority of the day from the members end of the ground.
Herath has bowled without much luck, with a couple of close lbw calls going against him and his skipper guilty of putting down Clarke when the Australian was on 54 - two runs short of breaking Ponting's record.

Seven Days…
It's funny how many different associations you get out of such a simple string of words as "seven days," or maybe even "one week." If you're a horror movie fan, maybe you immediately think of the eponymous and chilling phrase from "The Ring." If you're up on your late nineties television, you'll probably jump to the TV series of the same name. If you're a Barenaked Ladies fan, you're most definitely familiar with their hit song, "One Week" (and let's be honest, who doesn't love that song?).
At this point in time in the Whitman College world, however, seven days refers to something so much cooler than all of that, so much more exciting. Seven days, as of today, August 22nd, marks the final one week countdown to August 29th, and if you're a new student, if you're the family of a new student, or if you're just super excited about the start of the Fall Semester like we are, you'll know that August 29th is Move in Day.
That's right: MOVE IN DAY!
In seven days, the Class of 2017 will be hitting Whitman College, all of their worldly belongings in tow. They'll be moving in to their new rooms, checking in to their residence halls, meeting their RA's, their new roommates, their section-mates, and starting to really discover the campus at large. They'll be starting a process that all of us in the Whitman College Office of Admission have been working towards and holding our breath for, that of joining the Whitman College student body.
This past week has been an exciting reminder of what is to come, with a growing flurry of activity all around campus, hints and stirrings of the gathering storm of activity. RA's have been meeting and preparing to greet their new residents. More and more students are being sighted around campus, some of them prepping for their Scrambles, some of them returning students eager to be back. Here in the Admission Office, we've been getting excited to see many of the students we helped find this wonderful place – while it means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, for us, Move in Day is a reminder of why we do what we do, a physical testament to the importance of admissions.
So, if you're an incoming student reading this, if you're a high school student still searching for that perfect college, if you're a parent, a family member, an alumni of the college… Be excited! The Class of 2017 is about to embark on an incredible voyage, fraught with the perils of late night study sessions, of a touch of homesickness, and of challenging coursework, filled to bursting the whole while with the excitement of a new place and a new chapter in their lives just beginning to unfurl. Move in Day is a first step, the beginnings of a rising tide of activity and education which will soon be sweeping us all along, new students, old students, professors, families, and college staff included.
All in all, I would definitely say that it's pretty exciting.
Join us next week as we take a closer look at the move in process, and exactly how much excitement and hard work it all entails!

Follow these simple steps to develop your problem-solving skills and come up with creative solutions for managing your stress.
Feeling stressed? You're not alone. Most adults report being under increasing levels of stress. Modern life is filled with change and uncertainty, complicated relationships, urgent deadlines, and long workdays. Developing your problem-solving skills can help make life's challenges more manageable.
Problem-solving is the process of identifying stressors and creating strategies to manage them. It's a powerful tool to add to your stress management toolbox. You can brush up on your problem-solving skills with these simple steps. Like any skill, the more you practice the more effective you'll be.
It's important to understand a problem before you can successfully solve it. Take time to analyze the problem. Write down a brief description of the problem you want to solve. Then ask yourself these questions:
Be specific and focus on issues. Try to avoid assigning blame. Now take a step back. Consider these questions to determine if the problem deserves the time you'll spend resolving it:
You can't change everything, so it's best to focus on issues you can realistically change and that will make a real difference in your level of stress. In other words: Choose your battles.
Now that you have a well-defined problem, it's time to think about solutions. Think of all the ways in which you might solve your problem. The sky's the limit. Now isn't the time to judge whether one solution is better than another. Not sure where to begin? Try these tips:
If you're still having trouble, perhaps your problem is too complicated. In that case, try to divide and conquer. Break the problem into smaller parts you can more easily tackle.
Remember, consider everything that pops into your head — even ideas that initially seem silly. Your stress-reduction plan may include a little zaniness. Maybe taking a salsa dancing class after work a few days a week will help you to unwind better than would quiet meditation.
Of all your creative ideas — silly or serious — which has the most potential? You might want to consider:
When you've chosen what looks like the best solution, take another couple of minutes to think it through. Even the best solution may require fine-tuning. You might ponder:
Don't be discouraged if your plan isn't perfect. A good long-term solution may temporarily generate new problems. That doesn't mean you should give up the plan, just that you need to be prepared to make course corrections or even switch to a plan B.
It may help to write down the details of your plan. Be sure to really commit to it before giving up or trying something else. Believe in yourself and go for it.
You're not done problem-solving quite yet. Experience is a great teacher, if you're willing to take a little time for reflection.
Problem-solving is a natural human talent. We're born solving problems from our first attempts as babies to grasp and crawl. We may not count the thousands of choices we make each day as problem-solving, but that's what they are. So when you focus on solving more complicated problems, have the confidence of knowing that you've got plenty of experience behind you.

The first time I visited Holt in Norfolk, was during a holiday in 1993. My father took me there for the day and I vividly remember feeling an unexplained strange sensation about the place. At that moment in time, I had absolutely no idea why I felt that way. Dismissing the feeling, I forgot about Holt until years later when my research into my Preston ancestry was well under way. One day, whilst browsing the 1901 census, I located my great-grandfather and his parents living in Bungay. My 2 x great-grandfather was born in Holt. The hairs on my neck prickled!
When I visited Holt again, in 2007, it was a miserable misty day and I remember being annoyed because the rain never let up the entire time I was there.
Holt was home to my ancestors and I wanted to see the place properly! My 3 x great-grandfather William Preston had moved to Holt, from Fakenham, when he was in his early twenties. This would have been in the 1840s. He married a local girl by the name of Eliza Bunnett and they had five children; three sons and two daughters. The first-born was my 2 x great-grandfather William Gowen Preston.
William Gowen Preston lived in Holt up until he was 17, when mysteriously, he left Holt with his girlfriend and moved to Norwich. The day I came back to Holt, I hoped that somebody could help me understand why this had happened. Was he cast out of the family? Out of the town? If so, why? I wanted to find the answer to that and more, in the streets and the shops, the houses and the people of Holt. Irrationally, I hoped that somebody would spot me, know who I was and why I was there, and tell me everything I needed to know. This never happened of course but the rain and mist almost prevented me from discovering anything about my ancestors life there.
|High Street, Holt circa 1905
Arthur Preston's Printing Works on the right
After a few hours of walking the streets, meeting up with a local historian and writer, the late Keith Entwistle, and taking photographs and video footage, I went to the local church. I did not know, or fully comprehend even at that time, the strong connections that my ancestors had had with this church. Years later, with more research, I have a better understanding and a deeper sense of their devoted years to St Andrews. Standing on the footpath leading up to the church, gravestones to my left and to my right, I looked feverishly for any ancestral graves. I walked right past my 3 x great-grandparents' grave and didn't realise that I had until I had come full circle around the entire churchyard. I followed the track around to the right hand side of the church, to the back. There were many gravestones there, surrounded by mushy and muddy grass mounds, unkempt in the harsh winter months.
After a short while I found the grave of my 2 x Great Uncle and Aunt (with her parents) and I stood talking to them, cleaning the stone, taking video footage and photographs, and then asked them to guide me to my 3 x great-grandparents' grave. However, as I pressed on, the rain worsened and the muddy sludge underfoot was beginning to depress me. The graves led to nothing and nobody. I was growing heavily down-trodden and yet I was still determined to find something. My stubborness kept me searching.
I walked around again, becoming tired, hungry and cranky. I felt as though I was going to burst. Then came a breakthrough...
At long last I recognised the name: Eliza Preston. And right there, in front of me, at the very spot I had started out from! I could have kissed the stone, I was so relieved. The video footage I have is proof of my emotional rollercoaster in that moment. I wept tears of sadness and relief. It was rather sad to see the stone is in such a poor state, the bottom of which is barely readable.
Here in Holt I found a connection to my heritage, in particular to my maternal grandfather who I never knew. I felt a strong connection deep in my soul that day.
One day I will return again to Holt, and the weather will be perfect. There will be clear blue skies and sunshine, and I will discover even more about my Preston ancestors and the glorious market town of Holt.

STALINGRAD (Peter Blackman)
Hushed was the world
And oh, dark agony that suspense shook upon us
While hate came flooding o'er your wide savannas
Plunging pestilence against you –
All that stood to state: "Where men meet
There meets one human race!"
Therefore did men from Moscow to the Arctic
Rounding Vladivostok to the South where Kazbek lifts its peak
Still work and working waited news of Stalingrad
And from Cape to white Sahara
Men asked news of Stalingrad
Town and village waited what had come of Stalingrad
The tom-tom beat across thick forest
While every evening at Palava
Old men told of Stalingrad
The gauchos caught the pampas whisper
The windswept hope of Stalingrad
And in the far Canadian north
Trappers left their baiting for the latest out of Stalingrad
In the factories and coal fields
Each shift waited what last had come from Stalingrad
While statesmen searched the dispatch boxes
What they brought of Stalingrad
And women stopped at house work
Held their children close to hear
What was afoot at Stalingrad
For well men knew that there
A thousand years was thrown the fate of the peoples
Stalingrad, oh star of glory
Star of hope, oh star of flame
Oh what a midwife for this glory
Take for the pattern Pavlov and his men
A soviet soldier and his nine companions
Who full seven weeks sleepless by night and day
Fought nor gave ground
They knew that with them lay
That where men meet should meet one human race
Carpenters who had built houses
Wanted only to build more
Painters who still painted pictures
Wanted only to paint more
Men who sang life strong in laughter
Wanted only to sing more
Men who planted wheat and cotton
Wanted only to plant more
Men who set the years in freedom
Sure they would be slaves no more
They spoke peace to their neighbours in tilling
For in peace they would eat their bread
Uzbeks, Tatars, Letts, Ukranians
Russians, Muscovites, Armenians
Who ringed forests wide around arctic
Brought sands to blossom, tundras dressed for spring
These kept faith in Stalin's town
We may not weep for those who silent now rest here
Garland these graves
These lives have garlanded all our remaining days with hope
Stalingrad, oh star of glory
Star of hope, here spread your flame
Now when news broke that Stalingrad
Still lives upon the banks of Volga
That Stalingrad was still a Soviet town
Then the turner flung his lathe light as a bird
And the gaucho spread his riot in the pampas
For this news of Stalingrad
The tom-tom beat wild madness
When the elders brought Palava these tidings out of Stalingrad
The English housewife stopped her housework
Held her child close and cried aloud
Now all men will be free!
And from Good Hope, black miners answered
This will help us to be free!
In the prison camps of Belsen
Sick men rounded from their guards
Now life was certain
Soon all men would be free
New light broke upon Africa
New strength for her peoples
New trength poured upon Asia
New hope for her peoples
America dreamed new dreams
From the strength of her peoples
New men arose in Europe
New force for her peoples
Once more they stand these men
At lathe and spindle
To recreate their hours and each new day
Bid houses rise once more in Soviet country
Men ring forests wide round arctic
Move rivers into deserts
And with high courage
Breed new generations
For still the land is theirs
Uzbeks, Tatars, Letts, Armenians
Caucasians, Muscovites, Crimeans
Still they speak peace to their neighbours at tilling
To all the wide world
And men come near to listen
Find by that day of Stalingrad
That this voice is theirs
Then Red Star spread your flame upon me
For in your flame is earnest of my freedom
Now may I rendezvous with the world
Now may I join man's wide-flung diversity
For Stalingrad is still a Soviet town
Thanks to Shuggy for the reminder.

According to the vast majority of videogames (also: movies, TV, comics, etc.) out there, corporations are mostly huge assholes constantly trying to wipe out humanity, develop crazy technology, and generally doing all kinds of malevolent acts in the name of the bottom line. They're more than willing to actively murder their customer base, use their employees as glorified guinea pigs, and relentlessly pursue insane goals that must have been really tough to pitch in a board meeting (how many PowerPoints devoted to the pros and cons of a zombie apocalypse have there been?). Below is a list of some of the biggest, meanest job providers to face a miserable third quarter thanks to one plucky hero.
One of the earliest game corporate villains, the UAC is guilty of conducting research on things they should have known were best left alone. In an attempt to create convenient travel options, the company accidentally unleashed a portal to Hell that turned all of the Martian research station's security personnel into demon zombies. DOOM III, a re-imagining of the original story (with flashlights), adds to the company's shame by making it clear early on that many employees' contracts forcibly induced them to participate in dangerous tests involving portal technology which sounds like another well-known, but less evil company I know (slightly less evil). The company's corrupt security apparatus systematically wiped out scientists and workers who tried to escape or warn the world about the experiments. And when all Hell (literally) broke loose, the corporate suit sent to clean up the mess makes it clear recovering the expensive technology and erasing evidence of malfeasance trumps the lives of any survivors. Strangely, this is one of the few games where your character not only works for the company, but is also a member of the security force. Although it was your first day, so you didn't get much of a chance to check anything off your immoral to-do list before demons started invading.
CryNet is originally an afterthought on your HUD in the original game, but the sequel brings this nano-tech pioneer to dangerous light. Despite being a subsidiary to the larger Hargreave-Rasch Biomedical giant, CryNet's powers grow to eclipse its parent company. Initially they seem to be the good guys, providing the fancy super-powered nanosuits used by your character and acting as the frontline against the alien invasion in Manhattan with its private security force, CELL. But, of course, you know you've got a problem the moment "corporate mercenaries" or "urban pacification squads" get used in a sentence. It turns out CryNet's advanced technology is actually stolen alien technology, a secret the company is all too willing to kill in order to protect even though the knowledge could be used to help stop the alien plague laying waste to Manhattan. CELL units have no quarrel eliminating civilians rather than rescue them (rescuing requires more paperwork) and even take on the US Marines when they arrive in New York in order to cover up their misdeeds. While they want to eradicate the Ceph aliens too (perhaps to avoid being sued for patent infringement), they ultimately want to do it in a way where they can retain the immense power and wealth brought by their monopoly on the alien technology and become an unstoppable global power. As of Crysis 3, the company is putting its efforts into building nanodomes. Evil nanodomes, we assume, since there probably aren't any other kind.
DataDyne is a future software developer with malicious intent, seemingly no matter who runs the show. Originally helmed by a man with a very large head (who sunk most of the company's assets in a disastrous "get-immortal-quick" scheme), DataDyne quickly recovered and became a global powerhouse again under the leadership of their female CEO. Unfortunately, she was also evil. Her decision to partner up with evil aliens bent on global domination would probably have caused a big lawsuit, and one of said evil alien business partners did end up murdering her to death (by killing her). But, at the very least, employees can rest comfortably knowing that as long as they're not security guards killing them results in automatic mission failure. As if working security didn't suck enough.
Some of you might say, "What? Dead or Alive has a story?" To which I respond with an enthusiastic "
kinda!" The Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee is a major conglomerate that mainly produces the Dead or Alive fighter tournaments. Their outrageous profits come from
subscriptions? Real estate? Staggeringly high tournament entry fees? It's not well understood. For the most part, members of the company don't even show up to fight the assortment of ninjas, wrestlers and mercenaries invited to this shindig, so it's easy to miss their involvement until you get to the final fight in single player, which often involves having your fighter take on the company's latest attempt to engineer the ultimate champion to win their own tournament. Actually, I've figured out the real source of their wealth beach tournament volleyball. That's where the real money is.
They had a cool name and manufactured everything from cosmetics (probably) to other chemicals that
also did things. The company began as the brainchild of a brilliant scientist, whose adopted daughter would follow her father in becoming a talented geneticist. That daughter, Elexis Sinclaire, would take over the company in her father's absence and expand the product line into the manufacture of mutants, much to the chagrin of mutant-hating rent-a-cop Col. John Blade. Despite her incredible intelligence, her evil plans for a new world dominated by slobbering mutants, and her ultimate success in evading Blade's dreadlocks of justice, the leader of SinTek is probably best known for having large breasts. Giant, wobbly, unrealistically proportioned to helium balloon-sized breasts. Disproportionately sized breasts in a videogame, if you can possibly believe it. Also, she escaped using her
"nether region" as a distraction. Which is a nice reminder that videogames are art, but not all art is tastefully done.

Fracking Spurs Earthquakes in Texas, Study Finds
So much oil and water is being removed from South Texas' Eagle Ford Shale that the activity has probably led to a recent wave of small earthquakes, according to a new study. Tom Fowler explains on the News Hub. Photo: AP.

Uniworld Cares
At Uniworld, they believe sustainability is the key to a better world. In the course of traveling the great rivers of the world and meeting people from all over the globe, it's nearly impossible not to stand in awe of the beauty and power of the natural environment, and the cultures that call it home. This love for the world around us drives the commitment to implementing sustainable business and travel practices, while supporting the nature and people around us ensures that the very places we live in and travel to will remain vibrant for future generations. The company-wide efforts to make a positive difference in the world are based upon the three pillars of environmental, social and economic responsibility:
Environmental Responsibility
In partnership with the TreadRight Foundation and the Travel Foundation, Uniworld created the first-of-its-kind Environmental Sustainability River Cruising Guide in 2013. They also implemented industry-leading green initiatives at their corporate offices, and partnered with WHOLE WORLD Water to help provide safe drinking water where it is needed most.
Social Responsibility
Their dedication to social responsibility takes many forms. In addition to providing excursions that immerse travelers in local cultures, they promote various charities, including the "Future of Khmer Children," donate materials no longer in use on their ships, and help develop programs focused on preserving local communities and cultures.
Economic Responsibility
From organic wineries to small, family-run enterprises, Uniworld is committed to supporting environmentally conscious business throughout the destinations to which we travel. By introducing guests to these local and sustainable ventures, they are able to provide truly unique experiences to travelers while bringing economic opportunity to the region.
TreadRight Foundation
Founded in 2008 as a joint initiative between Uniworld and each member of The Travel Corporation family of brands, the TreadRight Foundation encourages the sustainable development of tourism by supporting projects that benefit the environment, cultural heritages and local communities.
S.S. Catherine Activity Services
Uniworld's partnership with Red Carnation Hotels, an award-winning group of five-star luxury boutique properties, guarantees a first-class experience - one where expectations are always met, and often exceeded. Rich in character, spectacular in design, and unyielding in attention to every detail, your ship is more than just a way to get from one destination to the next: it's a place for discovery and enjoyment. The staff aboard will get to know you and your personal preferences. It's a pleasure when the waiter remembers how you like your eggs prepared at breakfast, or when the bartender knows you prefer your favorite drink with that little extra twist. Each guest has individual tastes and preferences. Special touches let you know how much you're appreciated and how dedicated Uniworld is to providing exactly what you desire, exactly when you desire it.

(Thymus vulgaris)
Thyme oil (Thymus vulgaris) is obtained from the Thymus vulgaris plant by steam distillation.
Thyme is a small, evergreen herb that grows low to the ground, up to a height of around 15 inches. It bears white to purple flowers.
Whole plants and flowering tops are harvested as flowering commences. They are distilled for oil or dried for elixirs, liquid extracts and infusions (some infusions use fresh herb).
Red thyme oil is produced by the first distillation of the dried leaves and flowers.
The main constituents of the oil are thymol and carvacrol and it is often used as a disinfectant. It is used in mouthwashes, surgical dressings, and soaps.
It is well known for its antiseptic, bactericidal and carminative properties.
Aromatherapists use thyme oil on skin and scalp complaints.
Our French Kiss Bubble Bar has thyme oil, in combination with lavender and rosemary essential oils, to give you a relaxing bath and a reviving kiss from across the channel.
We use thyme oil in our The Greeench powder deodorant for it antiseptic and bactericidal.

If you were looking for royalty-free images of
England's capital, then you came to the right london image site. Each picture
shown on this site is available in four different sizes to suit your needs.
London is a global city, as it is a center of business and finance and also a
major influence in the arts, fashion and culture. Most of the country's top
companies are here. The city is a certified tourist attraction with its medieval
modern charm. There are 4 World Heritage sites within the city:
The Tower of London,
Westminster Abbey,
Kew Gardens and St. Margaret's
Church. Aside from these, there's a lot more to see and experience in London.
A beautiful sight in London are its bridges that cross
River Thames. Remember the song
London Bridge? Well, there's a real
London Bridge.
Lambeth Bridge is a
red-painted bridge between Westminster Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge.
Millenium Bridge is a
pedestrian walkway connecting the Bankside to the city.
Tower Bridge
is perhaps the grandest of all, having two Victorian Gothic towers.
St. Paul's Cathedral
at Ludgate Hill, is another well visited site.
Strolling around the city, you will find
cafes, restaurants and shopping
venues like Covent Garden.
Should you get tired from walking around the busy city, you relax at London's
parks. Hyde Park,
Kensington Gardens,
St. James Park
are just some of green areas. Another attraction is
Trafalgar Square which is at
the center of the city. If you're close to Jubillee Gardens, you'll probably
admire London Eye. It's a giant
ferris wheel, and riding it would give you a fascinating view of the city.
How about a picture taking session in front of
Buckingham Palace? Who
knows, you might just be in time to catch a glimpse of the Royal Family. Well,
just remember to be friendly with the
palace guards.
History buffs would surely enjoy a trip to the museums. The
British Museum
and Natural History Museum
belong to the world's best, having millions of items in their collections.
Before going on tour, you must at least be familiar with London's locales.
Canary Wharf is a business and
commercial district, this area is formerly
West India Docks. Should you be riding London Underground and alight at
Marble Arch Station,
Dunraven Street, Oxford
Street and Hyde Park is just nearby.
Kings Cross is a newly
developed site where business and residential buildings are soon to rise. On the
eastern part of London is
London Docklands.
Westminster is at Central London.
London is indeed a big city and there is a lot of things to see. Having a
rich history and a diverse culture, it is a place that would never fail to amuse
Emirates Stadium
London City Hall
Norman Castle
Thames Barrier
Leicester Square

This is a debut album containing ten songs, but really it is a cinematic escapade into the mind of a singular individual, Jeremy Jay. A Place Where We Could Go is a statement of fiction and fact, exploring the shadowy depths of an attitude: the romance of life without the people and things that pull down the corners; create your own world. This universe may have a fairy tale look; it may be illuminated by streetlight. But it will definitely be a safe haven for the exploration of dreams. Think vast landscapes of reverberating storybook endings populated by the more charming characters from John Hughes' movies. Jeremy Jay: dancing, singing and playing guitar. A Place Where We Could Go is your hardcopy of the illusive, blonde, Jeremy Jay moon-roof vista. Buena.
A Place Where We Could Go was recorded by Calvin Johnson at Dub Narcotic Studio, Olympia, Wash.

I failed an interview question in C years ago about converting hex to decimal by not exploiting the ASCII table
if (inputDigitByte > 9) hex = inputDigitByte - 'a'. The rise of Unicode has made this question pretty silly, but the point was that the interviewer valued raw execution speed above readability and error handling.
They tell you to review algorithms textbooks to prepare for these interviews, yet these same textbooks tend to favor the implementation with the fewest lines of code, even if it has to rely on magic numbers (like "infinity") and a slower, more memory-intensive implementation (like a linked list instead of an array) to do that. I don't know what is right.
Coding an algorithm within the space of an interview has at least 3 constraints: time to code, elegance/readability, and efficiency of execution. What trade-offs are appropriate for interview code?
- How much do you follow the textbook definition of an algorithm? Is it better to eliminate recursion, unroll loops, and use arrays for efficiency? Or is it better to use recursion and special values like "infinity" or Integer.MAX_VALUE to reduce the number of lines of code needed to write the algorithm?
- Interface: Make a very self-contained, bullet-proof interface, or sloppy and fast? On the one extreme, the array to be sorted might be a public static variable. On the other extreme, it might need to be passed to each method, allowing methods to be called individually from different threads for different purposes.
- Is it appropriate to use a linked-list data structure for items that are traversed in one direction vs. using arrays and doubling the size when the array is full? Implementing a singly-linked list during the interview is often much faster to code and easier remember for recursive algorithms like MergeSort.
- Thread safety - just document that it's unsafe, or say so verbally? How much should the interviewee be looking for opportunities for parallel processing?
- Is bit shifting appropriate?
x / 2or
x >> 1
- Polymorphism, type safety, and generics?
- Comments?
- Variable and method names:
qs(a, p, q, r)vs:
quickSort(theArray, minIdx, partIdx, maxIdx)
- How much should you use existing APIs? Obviously you can't use a java.util.HashMap to implement a hash-table, but what about using a java.util.List to accumulate your sorted results?
Are there any guiding principals that would answer these and other questions, or is the guiding principal to ask the interviewer? Or maybe this should be the basis of a discussion while writing the code?
If an interviewer can't or won't answer one of these questions, are there any tips for coaxing the information out of them?
