Tyrano Noir
A downloadable game for Windows
Created for the TyranoBuilder Summer Game Jam 2015 where the theme for this game jam was, "United by fate".
This is a Film Noir style visual novel, with anime style characters. My focus has been placed on the storytelling aspect, rather than dynamic gameplay elements.
Typically, Film Noir takes place in 1940s America, featuring mobsters, corrupt cops and devious beauties. My visual novel take on it is no different. I once heard that a Noir could be described as a story involving:
"A dame with a past, and a hero with no future"
This idea that no matter how hard the hero character tries, he can't escape the fact that he'll be used, abused and abandoned; That he's a pawn in everyone else's game; That we witness the story unfold from the viewpoint of the person who knows the least and can advance the story the least. The story often seems to progress in spite of the hero, rather than because of him.
This idea that all these disparate people are united solely by this private eye, that as minor a player as he is, he's the sole binding factor.
I'm rambling.
I'm not an artist. I'm not a music creator. I'm not a coder. But I'm convinced I've a story in me. And this might be the way I get it out of me.

About Us
Quality Hawks & Knives by H & B Forge Co.
Family Owned & Operated Forge Since 1965
Will and Mary Barber were the owners of the H & B Forge Co. which began in 1965 with Mary's father, a dairy farmer at the time, and his partner, Tilton Bowen, a veterinarian. They started the business in a garage! When they couldn't keep up anymore, they hired a local Amish blacksmith to make the hawks. There were only three styles back then, the Shawnee, the squaw and the mouse.
Eventually, the Amish church forced them to stop making the hawks as they were opposed to the Vietnam War and found out that there were H & B tomahawks going overseas to our soldiers.
Meanwhile, Tilton left the partnership and Jim's oldest daughter, Mary, married. Her new husband, Will Barber was a pilot, turned roofer and machinist. It turned out that he was a man of MANY talents and in no time he was making the hawks in a forge he set up in the back of his warehouse. Always the perfectionist, Will refused to make anything with his name on it that was not only a work of art, but functional and durable as well. Over the years he has added many new styles, including Naval Boarding axes, Medieval and Nordic axes, and various styles of spiked axes and hammer polls.
Sadly, the Barber family lost our leader, father, husband, PawPaw and best friend on December 7th, 2012. The world lost a fine craftsman, artist and patriot. H & B Forge Co. will go on, however. Will and Mary's son, Jarrod, learned from the best and has worked alongside his father in the shop for the last 10 years. As his father's health failed, Jarrod had done more and more of the blacksmithing.
He has now taken over the business and will be running it, along with his mother, for as many years as God wills. He continues the fine quality and tradition of H & B.
He has added his own line of hawks as well as the traditional hawks and knives H & B has become so well known for. He welcomes custom orders.

Hello Friends! Happy Wednesday!I love bright colors in the summer. Its the perfect way to celebrate and enjoy the warm weather. My favorite thing about this skirt is the high leg slit! Everytime I wear this floral skirt I feel like Angelina Jolie at the Oscars Red Carpet. Its was so much fun trying to get the moment where the breeze captured the skirt for the perfect photo. I also love the way I styled this floral skirt last year when I bought it. Its a summer skirt I hope to style many different ways in the future.

Oh Dear, the Green Pundits Don't Understand the Cloud or Multitenancy
By Bob Warfield on January 16, 2015
Recently I was drawn into a discussion of how Green the Cloud is where I responded as follows: SaaS is going to come out ahead of any reasonably calculation of carbon emissions versus on-prem. Multi-tenancy is just a lot more efficient. Look at the data centers of companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook. Most corporates wish they […]

Cloud to Enterprise: Resistance is Futile

Big Data is a Small Market Compared to Suburban Data

Big Data is all the rage, and seem to be one of the prime targets for new entrepreneurial ventures since VC-dom started to move from Consumer Internet to Enterprise recently. Yet, I remain skeptical about Big Data for a variety of reasons. As I've noted before, it seems to be a premature optimization for most companies. That post […]

Practical information and peer support for disabled parents
Browse questions

Are there any stair gates which still allow a wheelchair over them and don't obscure much of the door way itself?
So, I'm a 26 year old disabled parent who loves my children but now they are both at school and nursery I'm desperate to get into work. I have a Lot of qualifications but nowhere will employ me because i can't walk independently, so would struggle to get to and from work and get from 'a' to 'b' in the workplace. Do any of you work and if so what do you do? I'd love an admin or reception position preferably in the field of health and social care because that's my area of qualification. Is there any way I could get practical support to get to and from work or help in the workplace? X
I'm feeling so much stress from working and looking after my children. I have spina bifida and I'm an amputee, my mood is so low! I really really don't want social service involved or my home adapted because I want my kids to have a *normal* upbringing. I have no family only the kids dad side of the family. I can't carry on much longer
Hi I'm a single mum to a baby boy who just turned 1. I have Multiple Sclerosis and am unable to return back to work due to a worsening in my condition after the birth of my son. I would like to put my son in nursery 1-2 days a week so I can can work on my rehabilitation so my question is if there was any financial assistance available towards paying for childcare as I am unable to find anything online and direct gov has nothing on this subject.
My partner and I would really like to have a baby but we are both blind. Family keep telling us that we should not do this as it will be too difficult. Can you advise?

Best of 2013: Whitney's favorite websites
Today our "Best of 2013" feature continues with a countdown of my favorite websites of the year. Did I miss something? Feel free to let me know so I can go check it out:
11. Rookie. The site may be aimed at teen girls, but the writing is better than many adult sites, and each week I find at least a couple features I'm glad I clicked on.
10. The Bitter Southerner. Thanks to Pop reader Steve L. for turning me on to this site and Twitter account, which celebrate Southern culture with a twist.
9. Welcome to Twin Peaks. This fan site only deepens my love of theDavid Lynch series and keeps me up to date on a surprisingly heavy stream ofPeaks-related news. Its creator also is savvy with social media, holding aclever photo contest this year and maintaining an engagingTwitter feed.
8. Video Podcast Network. This is more of a YouTube channel than a standalone site, but it deserves recognition for its funny original programming (Getting Doug With High, Tubbin' With Tash) and live video podcasts.
7. Open Culture. The tagline may be kinda dry ("the best free cultural and educational media on the Web"), but the content certainly isn't. I visit Open Culture daily to see videos and learn about intriguing cultural moments that may have passed me by.
6. The Mary Sue. I adore this prolific site that covers geek-themed news from a female perspective.
5. Laughing Squid. There's a lot of weird stuff on the Internet, and somehow these guys manage to catch most of it.
4. RogerEbert.com. Thanks to his widow, Chaz Ebert, the film critic's legacy lives on with this site featuring first-rate writing and criticism from several respected contributors.
3. Slicing Up Eyeballs. As someone who grew up on '80s and '90s college rock, this frequently updated site is a godsend. There's no such thing as too much Morrissey news!
2. The Talkhouse. This music community has really grown since its launch earlier this year. It features record reviews written by other musicians, many of whom offer more insight than what we see in the mainstream press. (And where else could we have read Lou Reed's positive assessment of Kanye West's Yeezus?)
1. Dangerous Minds. As someone who tries to avoid gossip and vapid snark as much as possible, I admire this destination that unearths fascinating, and often obscure, nuggets of pop culture.
Honorable mentions:The Dissolve, Geekosystem, Superhero Hype

We Now Have a Dedicated Short Sale Website at:
We are retaining the original content below until we get the sites properly integrated...
Short Selling Your Home
Be sure to notice additional information resources at the bottom of this page! Also note our Seminars page reflecting that Guidant is the local expert, training other agents and brokers on this topic.
A short sale is often the best available option for individuals who need to sell their home but owe more than they can receive in a sale - this is often referred to as being "upside down" on a loan. In many cases, by working properly with the lender, that lender will agree to write-down the loan to a level that will allow a standard market sale. Because the lender is performing a write-down instead of the seller bringing sufficient funds to close the loan at its existing level, it is considered "selling short", hence the reference of "short sale". While this can be a great alternative, do not be fooled, the process is anything but "short"!
Why Conduct A Short Sale?
There are three main reasons to conduct a short sale, the first being the protection of your credit record. While FICO states that they rate a short sale and a foreclosure the same, that is only for the event itself. Keep in mind that there is a "foreclosure" mark on credit records, but there is no "short sale" mark. So, your credit report may not even pick up the event properly as a short sale. Depending on the situation a foreclosure can prevent the Borrower from obtaining another home loan for 2 - 7 years, depending on situation, while a short sale registers as 2 years in most cases. Most short sales are reported on a credit record with language similar to "debt settled for less than amount owed".
Second, not only is it important that it shows the debt positively settled, it is much easier to explain on future credit applications when the individual obviously worked with their creditor to alleviate the situation rather than just walking away. With mortgage underwriting standards constantly changing, addressing your distressed situation with a short sale rather than ignoring it and allowing the foreclosure could play to your favor under future standards.
The third important reason to conduct a short sale is to avoid a deficiency judgment. In this situation, the creditor can legally pursue the debtor for several years after the debt is closed, continually delaying the recovery of a credit record and potentially ending with the wages of the debtor being garnished when the process is complete. For example, if a homeowner owes $500,000 on their home and the sale only nets $400,000, they would be "deficient" $100,000. California is a "single action" state where in most cases a lender can only foreclose or pursue a judgment, but not both. However, that is only for the foreclosing entity and does not cover other debtors on the same property like second loans. Also, the sale value of the home could be well under market if the home is sold at auction or remarketed several months later as a bank-owned property, creating a much higher deficiency balance. This is a complex issue, but negotiated properly, any deficiency exposure would be negotiated out of the final settlement, allowing the homeowner to truly put the situation behind them. Most agents are quick to share that they are "experts" in short sales, however a true test of their knowledge and ability to properly represent you is to ask what they know about deficiency obligations. As critical as this issue is, it continues to amaze us at how many agent websites try to show their skills in this area by using approval letters from lenders that still have a deficiency clause in it stating that the seller can still be pursued for this balance!
Why Do Lenders Approve Short Sales?
There are many "approved" instances in which lenders would agree to allow the homeowner to short sell their home, including job loss, relocation, divorce, deteriorating health, large mortgage reset, and other financial difficulty. However, the simple fact is that a foreclosure typically costs a lender between $30,000 and $70,000 in lost income, legal, and remarketing fees. While unadvisable and illegal, many homeowners will gut or severely damage a home before leaving, significantly lowering the resale value of the home. In addition, a vacant home is a prime target for vandalism and theft. In a declining market the value of the home goes down every day and a foreclosure can take much longer to bring to market than a home already prepared for sale. In the end, any home obviously headed to foreclosure will put pressure on the lender to allow the short sale.
How Do I Find Out More?
We have a slide set available with a few more highlights, including a Frequently Asked Questions section if you are not yet ready to call us. However, if the topic is important enough that you read this far on the page, the honest truth is that it is probably time to give one of our agents a ring. With 15 minutes on the phone, we can give you a much better overview. With an hour in our office, we can honestly assess your situation, explain the process in detail, and help figure out the best solution for you - even if it is not a short sale. Some of our clients come recommended by their bankruptcy attorney, who like us, prefers to send clients to their best alternative rather than provide less than ideal services for the situation. Almost every person who visits our office for a full review leaves visibly less stressed once they truly understand their options. If we do nothing more than help you restore some of your sanity and hope it will make our day as well. The best part is that if we do proceed with a short sale, our fees come out of lender net proceeds and expert advice will cost you nothing. Please do not hesitate to call as the consultation is both confidential and free. Once you spend some time with us we believe you will understand why we call ourselves "Guidant" Realty.

The PS Vita TV still remains something of a mystery, but a new Japanese video showed off some of the new microconsole's functionality.
The ad shows the PlayStation Vita TV streaming a PS4 game, Knack, over Wi-Fi to a TV, and playing an upcoming PS Vita game, God Eater 2, on the TV as well.
The new-ish PlayStation console also allows users to stream media, including video and music, from a variety of services.
The Vita TV is currently only announced for Japan, but there's hope that it will head to the UK, Europe, and the US eventually, possibly next year.
A Vita niche
Before now we've seen little of the Vita TV in action, so this promotional spot provides a welcome glimpse.
The PS Vita TV is priced at 10,000 yen in Japan, which translates to the low price of around $100/£65/AU$106.
It doesn't offer the portability of a PS Vita, but with such a low price tag and an interesting feature set the Vita TV could prove a success.

Ethics Advisory Opinion No. 122
August 31, 2007
Issued By: City Attorney's Office
I. Issue
May an employee accept contract employment with the city after retiring from city service?
II. Inquiry
A city employee is planning on retiring soon from city service. He has inquired whether he may seek or accept contract employment with the city after leaving city service as an employee.
III. The Ethics Code and Discussion of its Application
Division 3 of the city's Ethics Code contains four provisions governing conduct of former city officials and employees in their interactions with the city. These provisions are discussed below:
A. Section 2-56: Subsequent Representation of Private Interests
Section 2-56 of the Ethics Code states:
A former city official or employee shall not represent for compensation any person, group, or private entity, other than himself or herself, or his or her spouse or minor children, before the city for a period of two (2) years after termination of his or her official duties.
The employee in this matter has inquired whether he could accept contract employment with the city after he has left city service. Section 2-56 would not prohibit this arrangement since the former employee would be retained to work on behalf of the city, rather than representing the interests of an outside client.
B. Section 2-57: Prior Participation in the Negotiation, Award or Administration of Contracts
Section 2-57 of the Ethics Code states:
A former city official or employee may not, within two (2) years of the termination of official duties for the City, perform work on a compensated basis relating to a discretionary contract, if he or she personally and substantially participated in the negotiation, award, or administration of the contract.
Section 2-57 would prohibit the employee from accepting employment in the private sector which involved work related to any city contract in which the participated as a city employee. This prohibition would apply for two years after leaving city service.
This section would also, while the employee is still working for the city, prohibit him from negotiating contract that would be carried out after he had left city service. However, once the employee leaves city service, he could contact city personnel and negotiate a contract with the city to provide services to the city.
C. Section 2-58: Prohibited Interests in Discretionary Contracts
Section 2-58 of the Ethics Code states:
Within one (1) year of the termination of official duties, a former city officer or employee shall neither have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in any discretionary contract with the City, nor have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in the sale to the City of any land, materials, supplies, or service.
This provision applies only to former employees who had been required to fill out the annual financial disclosure form under Section 2-73 of the Ethics Code. Even for those employees, this provision does not apply to contracts for professional services. Because the employee in this inquiry has not been in a category of employees who are required to submit financial disclosure reports under Section 2-73, Section 2-58 is not applicable to his inquiry.
D. Section 2-55: Continuing Confidentiality
Section 2-55 of the Ethics Code states:
A former city official or employee shall not use or disclose confidential government information acquired during service as a city official or employee. This rule does not prohibit:
(a) any disclosure that is no longer confidential by law; or
(b) the confidential reporting of illegal or unethical conduct to authorities designated by law.
Under this provision, the former employee must keep confidential any information learned while serving the city. Further, such information cannot be used in any way to further the private interests of the employee or any private sector employer of the employee.
IV. Conclusion
The employee may not represent the private interests of any person, group or entity for compensation for a period of two years after leaving city employment. He may seek to be individually retained by contract to provide services to the city after he has left city service. Such a contract, though, cannot be negotiated until he has terminated his employment with city.

Not every culture forces their kids to share. And maybe that's not such a bad thing...
"Mo-oommm... But it's not fair!!!" whines every pre-schooler from Fresno to Philadelphia.
"Well, sorry dear, life is not always fair." replies every harried mother, settling the issue at least in her mind.
But the thing is, despite their proclamations, American parents work tremendously hard to try and make life as fair as possible for children. They break up fights and force apologies. They enforce the "take turns" policy. They repeatedly implore their little charges to "share nicely," and they dole out consequences when someone is being too selfish. They ask "who had it first?"
I suppose this would be my modus operandi as well. Though with only one kid there were less opportunities to enforce this system of fairness. And by the time I went from having one child requiring entertainment to two children requiring a referee, I had been living in Kenya for the better part of two years, where such a regime of benign rights-based interventions does not so much exist. So, I've, somewhat subconsciously, adopted the Kenyan system, which is this: Everyone defers to the noisiest (generally youngest) child.
When we first moved to Kenya and Caleb ran around with a mixed-aged group of friends, I observed this in practice. Caleb and another child would want the same toy, and Rukia (his care giver) would almost always ask the other kid to give Caleb the toy.
It made me cringe. I assumed she forced the other children to give him the toys because well... the toys were his... and I somewhere I suppose I feared that she deferred to his whims because he was the lone mzungu child. When this happened I would always intervene, telling Caleb his friends were "guests" and we needed to give them a turn with the toy too. I'd force him to give the other child the toy.
This invariably resulted in a full scale temper tantrum. After being told by Rukia that he could have the toy, I'd undo that, making it worse. Everyone would stop and stare at his meltdown, and my lesson in sharing and being a good host would get drowned out by the screaming. I was left feeling like I did something wrong, but had at least imparted an important lesson that I hoped would eventually sink in. I had restored life to a more "fair" balance, even if I created more chaos.
But my reaction was out of step with the culture. For Kenyans, it seemed that preventing the chaos was what was most important. The child who is the least able to weather the disappointment of losing a toy, the one who is least capable of understanding mine/yours/who had it first, basically the youngest, is the one who wins. Because when he wins there's less noise for everyone.
What I had failed to realize was that Caleb was getting his way because he was the youngest child in his group of playmates. When a child younger than Caleb entered his group of friends, even he was asked to defer to the littlest playmate.
To Americans, this probably seems supremely unfair, but it's really just a different set of rules and, amazingly, the older kids simply learn to sublimate their own needs. And that's probably not such a bad thing to learn how to do.
Now that Emmet has grown to the age in which he has toy preferences, a strong will, and an impressive set of lungs, we've asked Caleb to generally defer to the baby. I know that this is VERY much against American sibling rivalry advise, which says that if you don't want the older child to resent the baby, you can't always let the baby win. But so far - and probably because the culture reinforces this different set of rules - Caleb is with the program.
The problem is that we are currently back in the US, where babies are expected to understand, or at least play along, with the take turns/who had it first policy. Forgetting for a moment where I was, I recently asked Emmet's cousin to give up a toy Emmet was crying for. His mom, carefully reminded me that her son had been playing with it first.
And that's when it hit me: Here in the US we really do see each child, and even baby, as having particular individual rights. When those rights are violated we work to restore order and fairness. We hope that our children learn to share, but they certainly learn that some justice is owed them. Kenyans, by asking children to put others before themselves learn, not that they have rights, but that they have a responsibility to keeping the peace for the group.
I don't think one way is necessarily better than the other, but, like all parenting practices, they make sense given their context. But, I have to say, having experienced both, the Kenyan way is definitely less noisy.

Another interesting post, Kim and I enjoyed it.ReplyDelete
I have always huge issues with the way many westerners deal with sharing. But then, I have a habit of thinking sideways. :/

This is very interesting, Kim. I think that even within Europe there are cultures that are somehow "kenyan". In my opinion it's not about NOT giving the individual right to the older child, but about teaching responsiblity towards the younger one. The younger ones often are treated as the "weaker" ones or the ones you have to look after and this is why the older children give in. Do you really think that older children in Kenya aren't teached to have rights? I have some Kenyan friends here and observe this "giving to the youngest" that you're describing, but I wouldn't say that they don't learn to have rights. – Or did I misunderstand what you said in the second to last paragraph?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, I certainly didn't mean to imply that Kenyans are taught they have no rights! I guess the system of rights is just different. For example, when kids get older the younger children generally do what the older children ask. So, they are indulged when they can least be reasoned with and then asked to obey their elder siblings and then allowed to give orders to their younger siblings. I suppose you age into different "rights." But my point in the second to last paragraph was just to make the distinction between the very American message of individuals being owed justice no matter the age to the more Africa idea of a sense of responsibility to the collective. It was interesting to me that this difference is played out in how we manage interactions between our children.Delete
I also see this with elder people in Europe. Here's my explanation. We (and by "we" I mean Western cultures- whatever that means) see children and each other as individuals. Which means that they have to learn to share, as their individual rights are more or less protected. Our children will be able to chose their own ways when they're grown up. The way I undertand this works with the Kenyans is the fact that the child will be expected to give to the community, so they could have their way when they're young. I don't always ask or expect my children to share and they sometimes get along well, and sometimes they don't. As long as nobody kills anybody, I think they're just fine.ReplyDelete

Consider the Wheel Reinvented
Imagine a tire which can change its shape to that best suited for the conditions of the road. The green benefits are numerous, from reducing travel times to increasing fuel efficiency. Farmers could potentially end the problems associated with soil compaction caused by current wheel designs--which is responsible for losses in production nearing 20%. Roads that are otherwise rendered impassable by flooding, mud, rocks, holes, or sand could be easy handled by a wheel able to adjust its height and width on command. The wheel, dubbed the 'Pumplon' for its resemblance to a pumpkin or a melon in its two extreme forms, is the brainchild of Brazilian Osmar Vicente Rodriguez, professor of industrial design. According to Brazil's A Tribuna, he was inspired by the problems facing public transportation and farmers in rural areas caused by poor roads and flooding during the rainy season. He believes his wheel improvement may put an end to these transport issues.
How Does it Work?
The secret of the Pumplon is a steel shaft that can expand and retract by means of a rotary mechanism, pneumatic or hydraulic, adjusting rings which makes the wheel deformation wider or narrower. In wetter conditions, for example, the narrowest setting is ideal to increase contact pressure; for mud, a wider tire is preferred. Conditions in which the road is flooded, the widest setting allows for the car to become amphibious. Additionally, the driver can control the settings on individual tires in situations where one or more have become stuck.
The material of the tires has been the subject of special consideration. According to Rodriguez, "initially they were steel, but we replaced it with a thermoplastic material, which is easier to produce, lighter and cheaper, and is recyclable. The cover is of vulcanized rubber, similar to that used in tires conventionally, but more flexible to allow changes in size."
According to the patent description:
This wheel can change its shape and dimensions according to the type and condition of the ground surface and is the first and only product of its kind in the world. It can potentially save at least 30% of vehicle fuel, compared to the use of conventional tires and, at the same time, environmentally friendly, reducing travel time, as well as soil compaction in agriculture plantations.
Rodriguez designed the wheel for a doctoral project while at the Royal College of Art in London, one of the most renowned research centers in the design world. The Pumplon is currently under development with a prototype expected sometime next year. According to the inventor, he's already in discussions with several companies interested producing the new wheel.

The Poetry Society is very pleased to work with BBC Proms each year, advising on the running of the BBC Proms Poetry Competition, which is judged by Ian McMillan and Judith Palmer, and helping to programme a series of readers for the BBC Proms Extra Late events at the Royal Albert Hall, which are later broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
BBC Proms Poetry Competition
Each year, the BBC runs a free poetry competition encouraging aspiring poets to write a poem inspired by any piece of music in that year's Proms season. Judged each year by poet and The Verb presenter Ian McMillan and Poetry Society Director Judith Palmer, plus an additional guest judge which in 2017 is Jacob Polley, the deadline for the competition is during the Proms season in August. The winners are announced in September at an event on BBC Radio 3. The 2017 competition closes on 20 August.
There are two age categories: ages 12-18 and 19 plus, and the winners get the chance to have their poems read out at a Proms Plus event in September with the judges. This will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and available as a Radio 3 Arts and Ideas download. Winners are also invited to come to that night's Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
Past winners, especially in the 12-18 years category, include many Poetry Society 'alumni' from our Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award or Young Poets Network. You can read some of their work on the website.
BBC Proms Extra Lates
Presented weekly during July-September each year, the BBC Proms Extra Lates events each feature one 'up-and-coming' act in music and poetry. They take place in the Elgar Room of the Royal Albert Hall with a late-night, informal feel, and are hosted by Georgia Mann. These free events have proven very popular, and are also broadcast on BBC Radio 3 each week.
In 2016, the poets who read were: Geraldine Clarkson, Kim Moore, Holly Corfield Carr, Amy Key, Mark Grist, Avaes Mohammad, Andrew McMillan and Chrissy Williams. You can listen to them on the BBC iPlayer.
In 2015, the poets were: Sarah Howe, Jon Stone, Megan Beech, William Letford, Inua Ellams, Liz Berry, Jack Underwood and Holly Hopkins.

Water Line Break Leads to Mudslide and Displacement of Over 100 Yonkers Residents from Their Homes
Over 100 residents of an apartment complex which houses seniors and disabled residents were forced to evacuate their homes due to the breakage of a nearby water main on March 11. The two buildings comprising the complex, linked by a common lobby area, back up to a dirt hill propped up by a retaining wall. A 25'x75' portion of that retaining wall collapsed, which sent water, rocks, and mud cascading down the hill into the buildings below. The residents of the two buildings were immediately evacuated. The residents were permitted to return with an escort by local firefighters to retrieve personal effects such as clothing and medications two days later. However, residents who had requested to return to the building on Saturday to retrieve personal property were barred from doing so, due to fears of a second collapse. City officials expect that the building will not be deemed safe enough to be permanently re-entered by the residents for an additional two weeks. The city stated that a plan was also in the works to repair the old Croton Aqueduct, which could be contributing to the instability of the hill behind the complex.
The residents of these buildings with nowhere else to stay were given temporary housing in the local Police Activity League building, as well as local hotels, and were provided clothing and a food allowance by local authorities and the Red Cross. Due to the fact that the majority of these individuals were elderly or disabled, the Red Cross immediately encountered the additional complicating factor of ensuring that the evacuated residents were provided with any medicines they needed. Many evacuees had prescriptions that needed to be taken immediately, well before they would be permitted to return to the building to retrieve them.
Because the building is not entirely safe to enter, the amount of damage to the belongings of the residents is not yet clear. A prudent renter will always have renter's insurance, which can generally be packaged with car insurance for minimal additional cost. However, damage from mudslides or landslides, like other "earth movements" such as earthquakes, may not be covered by standard renter's insurance policies. Coverage for such damage can sometimes be added to an insurance policy for an additional premium. Depending on the ultimate resulting damage, and results from investigations into the causes of the mudslide, the residents and complex owner may wish to pursue an action against the city and public water utility for negligent maintenance of its water mains and the Croton Aqueduct. While actions against public entities can be difficult due to limitations imposed on the liability of government entities and shortened statutes of limitations compared to those applied to ordinary individuals or businesses, if attorneys can show that the public entity was aware of the danger and did not exercise reasonably prudent judgment in failing to remedy the danger, then they may be liable for damages. This can be done, for example, through evidence that investigations conducted on the portion of infrastructure in question showed a need for repair, yet the public entity failed to undertake those repairs.
If you've experienced property damage and need help making a claim against an insurer or another entity, contact attorneys who understand and have proven track records in the fields of insurance litigation and property damage. Basch & Keegan's attorneys are well-versed in pursuing recovery for individuals in the Kingston, Ulster County, or greater Hudson Valley area. Call (845) 338-8884 for a free consultation.

Ghana's major opposition party the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been highly tipped to win next year's general elections, the latest report of the UK-based Economist Intelligence Unit states.
According to the EIU's November edition, the elections will be close, but the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) will lose, despite the challenges bedeviling the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition now.
However, the report said the outcome of the elections is by "no means a foregone conclusion".
It outlined the largest opposition party in Ghana needs to work around the clock to garner votes outside its stronghold while maintaining internal unity.
The EIU cited the politically-motivated murder of the Upper East regional chairman of the NPP Adams Mahama as one of the low points of the party in 2015, but highlighted the party was able to "show a more united front during its subsequent primary elections."
The report noted the NDC will continue to enjoy strong support in the east and northern sectors of Ghana, owing to historical and tribal allegiances.
It went ahead to state that Greater Accra – a historical swing state – will be a key battle ground, but said the NDC government's mishandling of the June 3 fire and flood disasters among others and subsequent efforts to avoid a repeat "by clearing slums could well cost its votes."
The Unit also mentioned some of the indicators pointing to a one-term presidency for John Mahama include the poor handling of the economy, electricity and fuel shortages, high inflation and currency depreciation.
"A growing number of protests against the National Democratic Congress government's management of the country are expected, particularly, in the capital and economic hub Accra disrupting business operations there," the Unit predicted.
"These protests are expected to peak in the early part of the forecast period when the economy is at its weakest."
The report said public anger in extreme cases, can snowball into mass action as seen in a number of Arab countries in recent years and closer to home in Burkina Faso in 2014.

Ghost in the Machine: Thoughts on Preserving Electronic Systems
Bay Area Conservation History: Hindin Article
History of Conservation in the Bay Area
Recently I received a copy of an article on conservation history published in the Journal of Art Historiography, by Seth Adam Hindin, "How the West Was Won: Charles Muskavitch, James Roth, and the Arrival of 'Scientific art Conservation in the Western United States", number 11, December 2014. I always welcome efforts to relate how the work of individuals in solving conservation problems affects other practitioners and how research by scientists can inform our practice. This is a well researched and written work, the author referenced a considerable amount of primary sources and builds a remarkable narrative. The spread of ideas and their acceptance is affected by culture and personality, that is where a person is born, the status of a field of work, how it is regarded as a possible element in the ideology of a society and the means by which individual discoveries can be communicated and understood at any one time. A common example of this is Gregor Mendel who discovered a number of significant processes in genetics but failed to be understood in his time. Some students of history have argued that Mendel's social position inhibited the dissemination of his discoveries, others that he presented his argument in a statistical format which was unfamiliar to his contemporaries.
In conservation the interplay between the practitioner of treatments that are restorative (what we call today conservation) has always been restricted and defined by owners, art historians and a variety of connoisseurs, both institutional (e.g. curators) and private (dealers, and simple enthusiasts).
In fact, one of the most comprehensive analyses of the role of conservators in treatments and the restrictions placed upon them is Eric C. Hulmer's The Role of Conservation in Connoisseurship (unpublished dissertation, University of Pittsburgh, 1955), though Caple has updated this conflict in his book, Conservation Skills (2000).
The article produces a narrative on the influences on art conservation in the west by a number of academic institutions on the East Coast of the USA. While the primary locations for the two men discussed are Texas and Missouri, the thesis breaks down at that point. While one of these individuals, Charles Muskavitch had contact with the ill fated conservation program at UC Davis and established himself at the Crocker Museum, neither presence had much effect on conservation west of St. Louis. Nevertheless, the article is a much needed investigation of how conservators influenced each other and learned their trades in the immediate pre-WWII and post WWII eras.
What is missing is a more focused examination of East Coast practice and theory which is presented as fairly uniform. One might contrast this view by Hindin with that by Laurence Kanter ("Some Early Sienese Paintings: Cleaned, Uncleaned, Restored, Unrestored. What Have We Learned?"Yale University Art Gallery Bulletin, Series, Time Will Tell: Ethics and Choices in Conservation, (2010: 46-65). Kanter speaking of the same time period as Hindin represents a conservation field blustered by fashion in practice and not the science Hindin portrays. Kanter describes the destruction of the paintings treated in the pursuit of subjective goals which he called an "archaeological approach" but really means the practitioners justified cleanings that removed all identified "overpaint" to exposed some idealized original surface. In my training in archaeology we were taught that every site was destroyed by excavation and that scientific digging required extensive documentation and publication. Perhaps the Yale conservators had a different view. Kantor describes American conservation practice of the time by use of a quote from Giovanni Previtali, from 1967:
If we wish to imagine a sadistic restorer (or simply one from America) ruthlessly attacking the Magdalen frescoes until they were reduced to a mere shadow, we could be certain to achieve something very similar to another Peruzzi Chapel "after treatment."
But while Previtali's description was not unique, it like Hindin's article paints too broad a bush and overrepresents certain museum practitioners and their influence. Certainly people like George Stout were important, and his book like Plenderleith's affected practice across the globe (Keiko Keyes told me that Plenderleith's book was what drew her to conservation). I go over the diversity of publications in my 1989 article, "Textbooks in Conservation: some concerns," The Bulletin of the Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Materials, v. 15, n. s. 3&4, pp51-8. What also is missing from Hindin's article are the individual contributions of European conservators who relocated to the USA, people like Ruhemann and his 1968 book. One aspect of Hindin's paper that I find disturbing is his retelling of criticisms of Muskavitch's work. These are entirely subjective and like that of Previtali (but unlike those of Kanter) are not accompanied by any standard or analysis. But this is to be expected as such criticisms have been the usual business in conservation along with snide remarks of people's competency. Though in recent years standards to evaluate treatments have been forthcoming (as I suggested in my 1989 article and as I performed with one example in my 1997 article on ceramic and glass conservation in Studies. I had hoped when Reviews in Conservation appeared that we would have a venue for such studies, with reviews of literature and treatments over time. The first issues stoked this impression with numbers 1, 2 & 3 containing majority articles on such topics and most articles on treatments. But by 2008 Reviews had retreated to the same fare as JAIC and Studies with most articles on art history or scientific analysis with little reference or application to treatment. There have been numerous articles over the years that have reviewed treatments in limited fashion, as in the collection published by the British Museum as Occasional Paper n. 65, Early Advances in Conservation, edited by Vincent Daniels in 1988, and the 2003 issue of the JAIC that contained a number of articles reviewing treatments. However, this is far from a systematic analysis of long term effects or standards of outcomes in the context of practitioner variation in treatment application as we find in other fields of science.
For the West Coast our history is yet to be written and I would hope that someone will attempt it. At the foundation of our the Western Association of Art Conservators in 1975 founders George Stout, Richard Buck and Ben Johnson were all present. I do not know why Buck was there and have no knowledge of any work he did on the West Coast. I think many practitioners here were self taught or apprenticed to self taught individuals using the available literature. For myself at the De Young Museum Henry Rusk (trained as a painter at the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1920s) was the conservator in the 1930s to 60s when he trained a surgical nurse, Terri Picante who I worked with in the 1970s & 1980s after having trained under Bob Schenk (who trained at the Field Museum) at the California Academy of Sciences in the early 1970s but introduced to conservation of archaeological materials by J. Desmond Clark at the old Kroeber Museum at UC Berkeley from 1966 to 1970. Picante told me she did some work with Stout when he came to the De Young but all the conservation records for the De Young were destroyed by a conservator from the east who was hired to replace Picante by Charles Moffett, a curator who came to the De Young in the mid 1980s. I tried to save them but had no authority to do so. I think that other than by former colleague Tony Rockwell (who trained with the Kecks and worked at the SF Modern in the 1970s, the other major East Coast influence was in the formation of the Western Regional Paper Conservation Laboratory at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in the late 1960s by Roy Perkinson.

IP network addressing, VLANs, and Internet access methods are three different animals.
The KISS strategy (Keep It Simple Stu**d) is the best strategy.
The wireless LAN can be a separate IP subnet (a.k.a. VLAN) or subnets. This is preferable.
I would not recommend DHCP for some stations, and not for others. Make all or most clients DHCP addresses. This is an old and accepted practice.
DHCP is great at handing out addresses automatically and managing them. Routers are great at creating and maintaining VLANs.
Keep it simple. Do not implement solutions that only address one current issue. Eventually you will have many solutions to many problems, all trying to inter-operate. It can be a mess and can introduce entirely new and unexpected problems – costly problems.
Good luck!.

Series: Saga Volume #1
Published by Image Comics on October 23, 2012
Genres: Adult SFF, Comics & Graphic Novels, Fantasy, Romance, Science fiction
Pages: 160
Format: Paperback
Source: Purchased
Buy on Amazon
When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe.
From New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) and critically acclaimed artist Fiona Staples (Mystery Society, North 40), Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in this sexy, subversive drama for adults.
This specially priced volume collects the first six issues of the smash-hit series The Onion A.V. Club calls "the emotional epic Hollywood wishes it could make."
Now that I've been everywhere and seen everything…
No really, that's pretty much how I felt after I finished enjoying Saga, Volume One. It's as if the writer decided to give me a heaping dose of everything I love about SFF fiction. It was science fiction, it was fantasy, it was horror – hell it was even erotica and romance. What more could I possibly have wanted? Lie detecting cats? Oh wait yeah it has that too. Saga was ultimately a whole helluva lot of WTF in only the best ways.
Thus begins our story
We are immediately introduced to the couple Alana and Marko. They are from opposing sides in an ever ongoing war between two worlds, Wreath and Cleave. These two races couldn't settle on just fighting each other, no no sir, they dragged the entire galaxy into their war and have been slowly destroying other planets by pulling them into the fray as well. So how did these two lovers end up together? Don't you know the prisoner always falls for their captor? As they are star crossed lovers Alana broke Marko out of lockup and they went into hiding to have their baby. The plot thickens because the two opposing factions aren't going to just let these two and their little baby go. That could very well jeopardize the way people think, others might decide it's ok to fraternize with the enemy and what government would possibly stand for losing control of the way their populace thinks? Pretty much everyone is after them. Each of their races, free lance bounty hunters, weird robotic nobility and who the hell knows who else. It makes for a serious mad-cap dash across an entire planet and into the stars.
Let's talk about sex and violence, we've got it in spades
The violence in Saga is gruesome and yet so much fun. There is just something to be viciously enjoyed about disemboweled monkeys not to mention a ghostly half girl with her intestines floating forever beneath her. Too sick for you? Well then this might not be for you. You should also know there are several graphic scenes that involve all the naked tasty bits of not just humanoids but some various many limbed aliens. I don't consider this an erotic graphic novel but there are very adult scenes and themes so just bare that in mind if you are offended by that sort of thing this might not be your cup of tea.
Really tho, there is so much I could say
But I can't! I won't! I don't even want to ruin it by giving anything away. You just have to know that this graphic novel is a face punch full of whicky in the wacky woo awesome. Not only is the dialogue highly entertaining (a delicious brand of humor here I say!) – but if you haven't noticed that cover art – all of it is just that amazing. Sometimes I find that cover art on graphic novels is better than the overall quality of art you'll get throughout the novel. But not so here, every freaking panel is that good. Believe it. The storyline manages to be touching, hilarious and gruesome. How the hell did they pull that off? Someone laid a golden egg in this writer/artist duos brains because the work they've accomplished together on this some of the best I've not read. Read it or we can't be friends.
