The Learning Experience believes that how children learn is as important as what they learn; therefore, we have created an innovative and exciting preschool curriculum. We call our proprietary curriculum L.E.A.P. (The Learning Experience Academic Program). L.E.A.P. encourages each child to achieve success independently while developing intellectually, socially, and physically. Our preschool program is broken up into three completely separate classes according to chronological age and developmental stage. Conceived and written by our own Curriculum Department at The Learning Experience Corporate Headquarters, L.E.A.P. provides our preschool teachers with a comprehensive monthly curriculum. Children in this age group are involved in hands-on activities that encourage them to explore and solve problems at their own rate of development. Children in the Little Learners group receive their personal age-appropriate L.E.A.P. book each month. The book contains a wide variety of activities that involve problems in logic, math, reading, phonics and writing skills. Each month has a different theme. Little Learners start in the Infants room and continuing through the Preppers room. My Little L.E.A.P.Book is designed just for Preppers acquainted with the habit of sitting and completing a workbook. Each page consists of a different concept: colors, shapes, numbers, sequencing, and letter awareness (one page a week). L.E.A.P. I is designed for children in our Preschool 1 age group. It is a step up from My Little L.E.A.P. Book; it consists of one workbook page per day. L.E.A.P. I includes writing readiness, numbers, counting, phonics, shapes and colors. L.E.A.P. II is designed for children in our Preschool 2 age group. It is a step up from L.E.A.P. I; it consists of two workbook pages per day. L.E.A.P. II includes numbers, colors, shapes, counting, number writing, sequencing, spatial concepts, measurement and other math concepts. L.E.A.P. Interactive is TLE's next generation of curriculum. Designed to enhance the monthly themed L.E.A.P. curriculum, children interact with the cutting-edge touch technology on a large screen, while experiencing real-time videos and eye-opening destinations via Google Earth. They can travel the world without ever leaving the classroom. They are also taught to use other unique tech tools like "fill it", "shape it", "draw it", and "spotlight". At the end of the month, the child's L.E.A.P. Interactive workbook is filled with their "I did this activity on the L.E.A.P. Interactive board" stickers. At the end of each week there is a weekly observation checklist, where each child is evaluated on that week's work. The L.E.A.P. books are sent home monthly with each child when completed. Each month children receive a new L.E.A.P. book with a bright, colorful theme based on the seasons and holidays. Inside they learn about shapes, colors, numbers and letters. L.E.A.P. books are designed to help parents understand the concepts their child is learning each month. At the end of each week the teacher evaluates the child's work using the Observation Checklist. The books are also a wonderful learning tool for parents who can revisit the concepts with their children at home after the month is complete.

Predator hunting is a challenging and increasingly popular hobby in America. Unfortunately many once popular aspects of our hunting and trapping heritages have become less active in recent years with a decreasing recruitment of new participants and increased regulation. Predator calling is unique, in that it has spread across the country like wildfire with increasing predator populations, fairly accessible land to hunt and relaxed regulations. Where will it all go from here? Is ours a viable pastime without any structure or advocacy long term at http://passhairfollicledrugtest.com?
The National Predator Hunters Association has been developed by a cross section of forward thinking staff and well-seasoned advisors to address these concerns with http://aloeridshampoo.com. The combined NPHA staff represents former founders and leaders of honorable calling, trapping and hunting organizations coupled with the developers of some of today's popular non-profit websites and hunting events. With a solid lesson in history and a sharp eye on its future, the NPHA steps forward to address tomorrow's predator hunting issues and opportunities with your support! Guidance and input from advisors within upstanding organizations like RMEF, NTA, FTA and NRA have tempered the core of the National Predator Hunters Association for long term strength and viability in today's ever-changing society.
This ground breaking group will promote camaraderie amongst sportsmen throughout the country in an effort to sustain our hobby and its resources. The NPHA has organized and affiliated with several established hunting, calling, shooting and educational gatherings scheduled throughout the country and continues to search for more! These fun and safe events will bring sportsmen together to celebrate their heritage and enjoy their hobby. Please watch for NPHA sanctioned events or NPHA Benefit events scheduled for your area this season in our "EVENTS" page!
The NPHA will make updates to this webpage as pertinent information becomes available. Members may also stay abreast of NPHA business through our newsletter scheduled to begin circulation in early 2010. Please feel free to contact the office directly at your convenience with any questions or comments you may have!

|Spliceosome - Homo sapiens (human)
|After transcription, eukaryotic mRNA precursors contain protein-coding exons and noncoding introns. In the following splicing, introns are excised and exons are joined by a macromolecular complex, the spliceosome. The standard spliceosome is made up of five small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 snRNPs, and several spliceosome-associated proteins (SAPs). Spliceosomes are not a simple stable complex, but a dynamic family of particles that assemble on the mRNA precursor and help fold it into a conformation that allows transesterification to proceed. Various spliceosome forms (e.g. A-, B- and C-complexes) have been identified.

Hot Spots: Data deduplication drama
Deduplication is one of those influential, crucial technologies that comes along every few years. But the vendor landscape is changing quickly, with new entrants and a recent spate of acquisitions. Cut through the vendor hype by requesting real-world references and proof points.
| The dedupe stage is getting crowded and confusing. Avoid trouble by knowing where to look for it.
Deduplication promises to reduce the transfer and storage of redundant data, which optimizes network bandwidth and storage capacity. Storing data more efficiently on disk lets you retain data for longer periods or "recapture" data to protect more apps with disk-based backup, increasing the likelihood that data can be recovered rapidly. Transferring less data over the network also improves performance. Reducing the data transferred over a WAN connection may allow organizations to consolidate backup from remote locations or extend disaster recovery to data that wasn't previously protected. The bottom line is that data dedupe can save organizations time and money by enabling more data recovery from disk and reducing the footprint and power and cooling requirements of secondary storage. It can also enhance data protection.
Sounds great, doesn't it? But the devil is in the details. For starters, vendors offering data dedupe technology are often polarized when it comes to their approaches. There are debates over deduplication in backup software vs. in the hardware storing backup data, inline vs. post-process deduplication and even the type of hash algorithm used. These topics are discussed in vendor blogs and marketing materials, which can cause a lot of confusion among users.
The fine print
In data protection processes, dedupe is a feature available in backup apps and disk storage systems to reduce disk and bandwidth requirements. Data dedupe technology examines data to identify and eliminate redundancy. For example, data dedupe may create a unique data object with a hash algorithm and check that fingerprint against a master index. Unique data is written to storage and only a pointer to the previously written data is stored.
File-level dedupe (or single-instance storage) removes duplicated data at the file level by checking file attributes and eliminating redundant copies of files stored on backup media. This method delivers less capacity reduction than other methods, but it's simple and fast.
Deduplicating at the sub-file level (block level) carves the data into chunks. In general, the block or chunk is "fingerprinted" and its unique identifier is then compared to the index. With smaller block sizes, there are more chunks and, therefore, more index comparisons and a higher potential to locate and eliminate redundancy (and produce higher reduction ratios). One tradeoff is I/O stress, which can be greater with more comparisons; in addition, the size of the index will be larger with smaller chunks, which could result in decreased backup performance. Performance can also be impacted because the chunks have to be reassembled to recover the data.
Byte-level reduction is a byte-by-byte comparison of new files and previously stored files. While this method is the only one that guarantees full redundancy elimination, the performance penalty could be high. Some vendors have taken other approaches. A few concentrate on understanding the format of the backup stream and evaluating duplication with this "content-awareness."
Where and when
Deduplication can be timed to occur before data is written to the disk target (inline processing) or after data is written to the disk target (post-processing).
Post-process deduplication will write the backup image to a disk cache before starting to dedupe. This lets the backup complete at full disk performance. Post-process dedupe requires disk cache capacity sized for the backup data that's not deduplicated plus the additional capacity to store deduped data. The size of the cache depends on whether the dedupe process waits for the entire backup job to complete before starting deduplication or if it starts to deduplicate data as it's written and, more importantly, when the deduplication process releases storage space.
Inline dedupe could negatively impact backup performance when the app uses a fingerprint database that grows over time. Inline approaches inspect and dedupe data on the way to the disk target. Performance degradation depends on several factors, including the method of fingerprinting, granularity of dedupe, where the inline processing occurs, network performance, how the dedupe technology workload is distributed and more.
Long-term viability
The issue is software vs. hardware. On the hardware side, purpose-built appliances offer faster deployments, integrating with existing backup software and providing a plug-and-play experience. The compromise? There are limitations when it comes to flexibility and scalability. Additional appliances may need to be added as demand for capacity increases, and the resulting appliance "sprawl" not only adds management complexity and overhead, but may limit deduplication to each individual appliance.
With software approaches, disk capacity may be more flexible. Disk storage is virtualized, appearing as a large pool that scales seamlessly. In a software scenario, the impact on management overhead is less and the effect on deduplication may be greater since deduplication occurs across a larger data set than most individual appliance architectures.
Software-based client-side and proxy dedupe optimize performance by distributing dedupe processing across a large number of clients or media servers. Target dedupe requires powerful, purpose-built storage appliances as the entire backup load needs to be processed on the target. Because software implementations offer better workload distribution, inline dedupe performance may be improved over hardware-based equivalents.
Choosing a software or hardware approach may depend on your current backup software implementation. If the backup software in place doesn't have a dedupe feature or option, switching to one that does may pose challenges.
| Reduction ratios
Beware of reduction ratio reports from vendors. In a recent survey, ESG found that among survey participants using dedupe technology, most reported reduction ratios in the 10x to 20x range (see "Capacity reduction," this page). Data reduction rates vary depending on a number of factors, such as data type, change rate and retention period, and whether or not dedupe occurs across multiple data sets.
A vendor could accurately claim reduction ratios of more than 100x, but some explanation of that number would be required. For example, calculating deduplication ratios for client-side deduplication of a full backup in a low change-rate environment, such as a Windows, could result in 100x daily reduction ratios. However, this isn't the reduction ratio for backup storage and is a great example of a liberty vendors take when issuing quantifiers. You should ask your deduplication vendor for the method used to arrive at their reduction ratio number.
Dedupe improves the value proposition of disk-based data protection because it eliminates the redundancy traditionally seen in secondary storage processes. Given the explosive growth rates of data and the cost of power and cooling, implementing dedupe is becoming an imperative.
Choosing a deduplication strategy isn't a simple task. Technology maturity varies considerably and the vendor landscape is changing quickly with new entrants and a recent spate of acquisitions. As solutions are considered, cut through the vendor hype by requesting real-world references and proof points. Test backup performance and, more importantly, restore performance. Conducting your performance testing and due diligence early should save you from unnecessary drama later on.

Reliable contact technology always results from the right combination of different contact properties: contact resistance, contact force, contact security, mating cycles, plus mating and demating forces. To create durable connectors, these properties must be adjusted to each individual application and designed to perfectly fit the respective specifications. ODU's diverse contact portfolio offers solutions for the most varied requirements – and thus the perfect connector technology for every need. It covers extremely durable springwire contacts, high-performance lamella contacts, universal turned and slotted contacts, as well as economically stamped contact solutions for use in large serial production. Termination technology also plays an important role, determining to a major extent the quality of the connection and its durability.
You, too, can benefit from ODU's 80 years of experience and its impressive development and production expertise. Just contact our experts:
ODU springwire contacts are used in a special high-performance charging connector at submarine mooring points, where the tough environmental conditions place high demands on the connection. ODU SPRINGTAC® contacts are particularly well suited for the task, thanks to their extreme reliability and durability.
Our ODU SPRINGTAC® offers top performance for welding current transmission in a tool-changing system. An intelligent crimp termination system ensures maximum flexibility in the tiniest of installation spaces – as well as one million mating cycles.
ODU lamella contacts form an interface between the inverter and the electric power system, of the snow groomer's engine. For this customer-specific solution, the high-current carrying ODU LAMTAC® contacts were integrated into the smallest of construction spaces.
Even a novel electric surfboard had a requirement for ODU lamella technology. The ODU LAMTAC® contacts serve as an interface between the power supply, speed regulator and drive motor.
The universal properties of the ODU TURNTAC® typically make it the number one choice for connectors in automation or other industrial applications. Even the smallest of dimensions allow for high contact density. The sophisticated contact technology combined with our surface engineering enable reliable contacting even in the most challenging operating conditions.
The angled ODU pin contact connects a ODU TURNTAC® socket, which connects the module block with a battery storage system. The ODU product, which we manufacture right down to the cable assembly, guarantees easy installation. A special protection against unintentional mating creates perfect connections.
Our ODU STAMPTAC® standard contacts for automated processing in the high-volume serial production of charging plugs (IEC) are a cost-efficient alternative for high volumes. Thanks to the integration of an overmolded sealing element, customers have the additional benefit of shortening the process chain while still achieving IP 67.
These high-performance stamped contacts for an automation technology assembly do not just require precise manufacturing ‒ they also demand a great deal of experience and knowhow in matters of design and contacting. Optimal functioning, however, can only occur through perfect surfaces. Our ODU STAMPTAC® technology therefore relies on our ODU surface technology. The selective gold-plating we apply is resource-friendly and ensures reliable connecting.
Whether a connector provides continuous, error-free functioning or not, ultimately depends on the electrical contact being used. Otto Dunkel (ODU founder) solved classic connection problems 80 years ago, with a simple yet ingenious idea – the springwire contact. Countless electrical contacts are still based on this very idea today.
Making a connection via multiple contact surfaces, is still the best solution for providing completely reliable and extraordinarily durable connections. The drive to achieve this, together with decades of experience, is what continuously pushes ODU to develop new and innovative connector solutions – constantly maintaining the highest attainable standards.

Something thats so soft and pretty
and that seems to beg you to bring it home with you?
This one talked to me.
Amazingly soft
woven cable knit
with a long flirty fringe
in a super delightful pale silvery gray blue.
(Did I use enough descriptive words there?) ;)
With it being on sale for under $15- it had to come home with me.
I just might have picked up another couple of them for gifts too.
I have a couple people on my list who would adore them as much as I do
and I am thinking a soft gorgeous throw just might be a perfect gift this year.
See you this afternoon
for Feathered Nest Friday!

An accomplished nature photographer is urging a tourism boycott of the Alaska Highway next year to protest a contest offering cash and prizes for hunting wolves.
John Marriott, who grew up in Salmon Arm but lives in Canmore, Alta., said he believes the hunt is unethical and should be stopped immediately.
"Hunting is a time-honoured tradition that is about putting food on your table and getting out on the land; it is not a contest for killing the biggest this or that or for nurturing a hatred of one species."
A story in The Vancouver Sun on Tuesday revealed that hunters who enter the contest and kill the biggest wolves stand to receive $250 to $1,000 and up. There is also a booby prize of $150 for the smallest wolf and draws for prizes such as a rifle and free taxidermy work. The contest continues through March 31 with each hunter able to enter up to three wolves.
Sponsors of the contest include the Peace River Rod and Gun Club and Rich Petersen, a realtor in Fort St. John who has served on the board of directors of the B.C. Wildlife Federation. It costs $50 to enter the contest, with winners receiving 10 to 40 per cent of the entry prize pool in addition to the guaranteed prizes of $150 to $1,000.
Advertising for the event depicts a snarling vicious-looking wolf, the sort of image that hunters would not typically observe in the wild.
In a letter to Petersen also sent to The Sun, Marriott states that he is urging his "readers, which number in the thousands" to avoid the Alaska Highway as long as the wolf-kill contest continues. He urged the greater hunting community to also condemn the contest.
The hunt is generating a public outcry, and not just from B.C.
"I am outraged and disgusted," said an email from Sheila Hordal, manager of clinical education, rural services, at Misericordia Community Hospital in Edmonton. "In a day and age where we need to be leaders in protecting the environment and teaching our children to be advocates for others, that this sort of competition comes up is horrible."
Annalise Falzon, a nature guide in Malta in the Mediterranean, wrote in an email that her country has lost much of nature and that B.C. should safeguard what it has.
"If you have a keen interest in conservation you should be looking at promoting your heritage and protecting it and not encouraging a bloodsport which in its own essence is not just cruel but outright insane," she said.
Anthony Everett, chief executive officer of Northern B.C. Tourism, said in response that an estimated 330,000 visitors annually drive the Alaska Highway, providing an important economic infusion into the northern economy in the summer.
"Tourism is a burgeoning industry up here, something we work to make sure gets recognized with all the other industries in northeast B.C.," he said. "We don't want to see anything impact that."
Marriott's nature photos have appeared in publications such as National Geographic Adventure, Backpacker, Canadian Geographic, and Outdoor Photography Canada. He also operates photo tours and workshops and has published several photo books.
Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources Operations, said that the wolf-kill contest does not break any provincial wildlife regulations.
Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman could not be reached to comment.
In the Peace region, there is no closed hunting season on wolves below 1,100 metres elevation. The province is considering a bag-limit for wolves in the area.

Naturally we in the Cidade Maravilhosa are delighted to have beaten out the Windy City and snatched the 2016 Olympics from under the nose of the not-quite-glamorous-enough first couple of the United States: even Obama can't compete with Copacabana when it comes to wowing Olympic committees.
But now that the cheering has died down along with the hangovers, a sober consideration of what the Olympics will mean for the world's most interesting and biodiverse urban environment is in order.
You don't normally associate biodiversity and conservation with cities, but Rio de Janeiro is an exception. Its extraordinary topography means steep hill slopes and mountainsides are still forested: not the least of the issues associated with the growth of favelas, Rio's hillside slums, is that their expansion corrodes this green mantle.
Rio's forests are a remnant of the Atlantic Forest that once covered most of coastal Brazil and stretched as far inland as Paraguay. Only 7 percent is left, making it much more threatened than the Amazon and even more biodiverse, since the surviving fragments act as refuge areas for species that once had much wider ranges. This makes what survives of the Atlantic Forest extraordinarily important. One of Latin America's oldest national parks, Tijuca National Forest, sits entirely within the city's boundaries, a natural treasure greater than any of its beaches. What does the Olympics mean to all this? In short, a mixed bag.
There will be big environmental benefits. The thing that first strikes visitors arriving at Rio's international airport, after the dilapidation of the airport itself, is the stench when you step outside the terminal. This toxic olfactory cocktail comes from the chemical plants and oil refineries that line Guanabara Bay, together with the sewage produced by the 5 million inhabitants of the Zona Norte, where tourists never go but half of Rio's population lives. Gagging on your way into town is an appropriate introduction to the contradictions produced by our glamorous international profile.
With the eyes — and, more to the point, the noses — of the world upon us, something will finally be done: serious sewage treatment and pollution control is coming. Maybe by 2016, for the first time in generations, it will even be possible to swim in the bay. One shudders to think what will happen to the yachting crews otherwise.
But beyond the bay, things are more ambiguous. The coming construction boom will provide alternative employment to the young men in the favelas who would otherwise move into our biggest growth industry after oil: narcotráfico. This boom will tamp down violence from criminals and the police (there's a big overlap between the two). The easy headlines about the risks posed by violence in Rio are misleading: nobody, from the drug lords down, has any interest in choking off the multidimensional bonanza the Olympics promises to be.
And therein lies a problem: after having been stable for 20 years, the city's population is likely to jump again as the boom attracts migrants from all over Brazil, which means expanding favelas and more human pressure on that precious Atlantic Forest.
This will be most acute in the southern beachside neighborhoods of Barra, Recreio and Vargem Grande, which were booming for years even before the Olympics. Many of the new sporting facilities in Rio's bid, including the Olympic village, will be built here. As recently as the 1970s this area was still largely undeveloped, the stupendous beach of Barra fringing an unspoiled expanse of mangroves, coves and headlands ending in Barra da Sepetiba, a scalloped and shifting promontory of dunes and beaches pointing 12 miles into the Atlantic and the glorious (now rapidly overdeveloping) coastline south of Rio.
This oasis of nature so close to a megacity couldn't last. From the late 1970s, a gigantic real estate boom saw Barra transformed into a depressingly Americanized complex of malls, highways, condominiums and apartment blocks. As the only reasonably flat area with land available anywhere in the city, it was inevitable this area would be earmarked for Olympic development, but the key issue is what impact this will have on the coast's surprisingly strong zoning and development controls.
Rio's governments, appalling as they often are, occasionally get some things spectacularly right — the 40 percent drop in driving deaths since a well-enforced ban on alcohol and driving began last year is a current example. In the late 1990s, in the nick of time, a municipal park called Prainha put the coast immediately south of the real estate boom off limits to developers, preserving the two stunning beaches of Prainha and Grumarí and linking them up to the still pristine coastline around and including Barra da Sepetiba, long preserved by the Brazilian Navy, to whom the promontory belongs. Ironically, a few months before the success of the Olympic bid, the developers had managed to get the zoning laws in Prainha relaxed. Now, with blood already in the water, the level of development is about to spiral. It could well spiral out of control — and if it does, the last piece of properly preserved coastline within the city's boundaries will go.
Those of us who know and love Rio feel torn. On the one hand, there's no denying this is a great city with a great talent for spectacle, and it has all the potential to stage a great world event like the Olympics, perhaps more memorably than has ever been done before. But Rio is a memorable place in other, less positive ways. Many local politicians would shock even Tony Soprano, and their corruption and incompetence has mismanaged the city into the ground. Many of its well-known problems are directly traceable to the city's dreadful politics. With Brazil's international image on the line, the federal government may have to step in.
The stakes for Rio's environment are even higher. An image taking a hit is, in the final analysis, a trivial thing — but once a coast or a forest goes, it almost never comes back. Fingers crossed.

In the Middle Ages, a bubonic plague that would come to be known as the "Black Death" ravaged Europe, decimated populations, and forced survivors to fall to their knees, seeking the source of such a devastatingly fantastic event. Diseases are invisible, and because of this, people believed that the plague was a curse sent by God to purify an unclean population. Little did they know, the real source of this was infected rats who stowed away on boats during trading between Eurasia and the Mediterranean. The plague is said to have entered Europe through the Italian port of Messina, slowly but surely cutting a swath of disease and illness that stretched from Italy all the way up to Scandinavia. But with the death that came to millions also came the birth of pop-culture, the first of its kind. Stories and paintings involving the plague, and more singularly, death itself, were in high demand. Just like today, when a topic intrigues a majority of the populace, movies are made, and products of all kinds hit the markets. The "Black Death" had that effect, and it still does today.
There is no subject on earth more intriguing, more marketable than death. It is the one event that is sure to happen to everyone in life, therefore it fascinates us. When someone tells us a story of how someone died, even if we never knew the person, we listen intently. We, as humans, have an obsession with death. Whether we are just trying to understand it, trying to come to terms with it, trying to find away around it, or losing sleep because of it, our lives revolve around death; it is the ultimate irony of our worldly existence. Without death, there would be no need for religion. Without death, there could not be life, because if no one died of natural causes, overpopulation would find a way to kill us any way.
For the first time in recorded history, an invisible force was killing people by the millions, and the feeble minds of the time could not grasp just what exactly it was. Due to being a religious population, it was immediately attributed to God's wrath. And how does one go about correcting something that has an other-worldly origin? By praying. Men, women, and children prayed for an end to the pestilence, and some took it a step further. Known as "Flagellates", large groups of men traveled across Europe from city to city, bare-chested, whipping themselves in the back to imitate the suffering of Jesus Christ. Some went beyond that, and had themselves nailed to a cross and carried around by other Flagellates. The people of the small towns and large cities that they passed through ran to see them. They were the first celebrities of their time—they were celebrated and revered, and offered hope that someone on earth could do something about a plague sent by the heavens. It is here where we see the birth of an entirely new genre of art, one that still captivates us. The reason why this is pop-culture, to be differentiated from other art at the time, was because this was not religious in origin. Most artwork back then was commissioned by churches, and artists felt compelled, or coerced, depending on how you look at it, into sticking with church doctrine.
However, there is no "Grim Reaper" in the Bible, there is no personification of death anywhere, except that of angels who bring it. Artists now took it upon themselves to bring their version of the death story, and people were eager to take a look. The paintings were horrifying, but people love to look at what scares them. Perhaps they are trying to find some kind of closure in all of it, perhaps they just want to courageously confront it. As the church painter said in Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which details a knight's journey through plague-ridden Sweden, "A skull is more interesting than a naked woman", in regards to artwork. This film, was the first ever depiction of death as a person, predating the modern, yet tacky Grim Reaper look that we see in B-level horror movies. This film got across the same point that Medieval artists wanted to get across hundreds of years prior: death comes for us all—it does not matter who you are, or how much wealth you have, death will take you. Perhaps this was even the origin of the popular catch-phrase, "You can't take it with you." If you are wealthy and own two houses and five cars, a casket in the cold ground feels the same to a person that lived their life on the streets in a cardboard box. This is where we see the most popular artistic depiction, which is a "Dance of Death", better known as Danse Macabre.
Though there are many different versions, the one above is the most endearing. Death, seen almost always as a skeleton, is surrounded by people of all different kinds of backgrounds and occupations, holding hands. Wealthy nobles join hands with peasants, poor friars with bishops and governors, the available cast of characters is endless. No style of art has ever been recopied and altered more than a Dance of Death. No form of personification has been used as much as a Grim Reaper figure, who appeared the most human in the above mentioned film, The Seventh Seal. Here, once again, we are reminded that there is no way to outsmart death, and that it will triumph in the end. The impression that the film leaves is one of authenticity. Had motion pictures been around in the 1300's, chances are, it would have looked like Bergman's timeless creation, one that stays with you long after your first viewing. But back to paintings, Pieter Bruegel gave us this horrifying image in 1562, titled "The Triumph of Death". (Click to enlarge.)
What did audiences do when they gazed upon this harvest of terror, torture, and killing? Did they run away aghast? Or did they delve deeper and ask for more? The latter is what happened, and it is then that we see a massive birth of depressing and terrifying paintings that people flocked too. Once again, death attracts more people than it scares away, ironic considering that we will all be attracted to it in the end. The "Black Death" even makes its way into songs and fairy tales. Troubadours and minstrels wandered the countryside, setting up stages in the backs of their wagons, and playing to small audiences. Their payment was perhaps an optional donation by a viewer, or maybe a meal at the local inn. The pop-culture of traveling theater is now born. And what of nursery rhymes our children sing? It is possible to find a dark and sinister undertone behind many, but the one recited at one time or another by almost every person in the world, "Ring around the Rosie", is much more blunt, but has been disguised over the years. Though there has never been proof it derived from the Black Plague, just one look at the lyrics and you can see its morbid inspiration.
- Ring around the Rosie: This refers to the plague marks that scattered the human body by the hundred upon infection. Early warning signs of catching the plague were red sores surrounded by a small ring.
- Pocket full of posies: These wonderful smelling flowers were used in an attempt to ward off the disease by the unknowing population who did not realize that the flowers were accomplishing absolutely nothing. The odor could even be used to mask the smell of the hundreds of rotting corpses that laid about the towns until they were taken away and burned.
- Ashes to ashes: What's the only way to dispose of a body with a contagious disease? Burning. Bodies were stacked into pyres and set ablaze. The pay was pretty good, though, for the poor souls who had to gather the dead bodies.
- We all fall down: Remember, this is a plague sent as vengeance directly from God. For all these people knew, the apocalypse was at hand and everyone was going to die.
In short, no event in human history has inspired as many legends, folktales, songs, and stories as the "Black Death", aside from early religion itself. But these grim creations are more important, because they are the testimony of a population whose majority could not read or write. Many of the stories we know were passed down orally until they could be recorded by someone who did know how to write. This explosion of artwork is still fancied by many today. How many t-shirt designs and tattoos contain skulls and skeleton figures? How many popular movies set in Medieval Times bring up this plague in some way? It has inspired everyone from Boccaccio to Bergman, from Petrarch to Monty Python, all of whom spin their own versions of this horrifying tale. The impact has been more profound than perhaps anyone has ever realized. The first ever commercialization took place here, and has capitalized on our uneasiness with death. It has, and always will intrigue us—nothing can ever change that.

Switched an existing account several months ago to MSP and didn't have any problems until recently.
Started getting the "message contains an invalid address" prompt. I was sending an email from one account to another (both of which I know were valid).
In an effort to test the account I sent an email to my live account from a desktop. I received it on my device and then replied. Received the invalid address prompt.
Deleted the live account from BIS and re-added it. Long story short, the live account will send and receive messages until I switch to MSP. As soon as I do, I begin receiving the prompt again.
Strange that it's just on one account. I have 3 @live accounts on my device and only have issues with one. What am I missing?

Kids Exercise STEM Skills in Fun-Filled CPEP Challenge Day Event
Just as the name suggests, CPEP, Catalysts Powering Educational Performance, is a program that serves as a catalyst to increase children's interest and attitude towards future careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. CPEP, a 501(c)(3) organization, is an out-of-school program with an emphasis on under-represented, urban youth. The program is supported by CPEP staff, volunteers, mentors, partners and investors, including UTC and Pratt & Whitney.
Recently, dozens of volunteers from UTC and Pratt & Whitney were on hand to ensure the success of the annual CPEP Challenge. The event was held at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford as part of the larger Student Innovation Expo 2013. The enormous "B" hall of the center was filled with hundreds of excited kids, all showing off and testing projects they made starting last September. The UTC and Pratt & Whitney volunteers were part of a group of STEM professionals, including engineers, teachers, scientists and business leaders, who acted as the day's judges.
CPEP project categories included Electric Air-Powered Boats, Mousetrap-Powered Vehicles, Magnetic Levitation Vehicles (Maglev), Lake Compounce Roller Coaster Design, an Egg Drop Package Contest, Rube Goldberg Machine Design and several "spontaneous" events, including chess matches, "Minute-to-Win-It" races, dance contests and video gaming.
Opening ceremonies began at 9 a.m. followed by the various CPEP challenges. Two time trials were conducted for each project, allowing time in between to modify or make repairs. Judging and scoring criteria differed based on the project. Mousetrap-powered vehicles, for instance, were required to travel 30 meters in a 1-meter wide track. Vehicle distance to the center line played a role in determining the winners. Roller coasters, however, included points for overall appearance, structural stability and other factors.
All in all, CPEP Challenge Day was a wonderful success, which culminated with a rousing CPEP rendition of the Harlem Shake, which was video taped and featured approximately 500 children. The awards ceremony followed at 2 p.m.
For more information about CPEP and its participating communities, visit them online at www.cpep.org.

ROSEWATER- Jon Stewart
On a recent trip out West for a medical based assignment, I was met with a phone call from the University of California Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism about covering a special event for them once again. It is always a pleasure to receive these types of phone calls from them, as they are awesome to work with and their guests are usually very worthy of not only covering, but also very informative and cutting edge. (see- James Risen, and Daniel Ellsberg in the past).
This assignment once again fit the bill…
The Daily Show host and newly crowned director Jon Stewart was the assignment for the evening, with special guest Maziar Bahari in tow. Stewart's yet to be released film "ROSEWATER" was being screened for the UCBSOJ students and faculty as well as for their special guests, with a lecture to follow the film. My assignment was to cover the event, the introductions, meet ups, the screening, behind the scenes, the 15 minute student interview session and of course, the aftermath with questions and answers of the guests on stage.
The film itself is based on the book "Then They Came for Me", a story written by Bahari, an Iranian/Canadian journalist who was sent to Iran, to cover the 2009 presidential elections that pitted incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad against reform-minded opposition candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Bahari was on assignment at the time for Newsweek magazine when he was arrested and charged with being a spy.
After some trumped up charges, including the possession of pornography, Bahari is kept in prison and basically tortured for over 100 days, much like his father had been in the 1950's. I won't get too deep into the film here, as I suggest you go see it firsthand, especially if you are a member of the media or are planning a career that may take you out of the country. I will say that Stewart did a fine job in his directoral debut, and I hope this is not the only film he produces.
As for the event itself, Jon Stewart is a class act and if he has an ego, he left it at home on this night. The man was incredibly humble, joked with almost everyone that he interacted with and was a trooper even when his handlers were saying it was time to leave. His onstage aura was hypnotizing, the multi Emmy-award winning host of The Daily Show was definitely in his director role for this event. He never spoke out of turn, thus allowing Maziar to tell the story as he remembered it, with intense mental and physical struggles daily as his torturers tried to break him, even though he had actually done nothing wrong. The crowd of 600 in the packed house listened to every word that was spoken, and laughed nervously at some of the raw humor as the questions were answered. Berkeley Graduate students and staff alike asked honest and tough questions and at the end of the night, many lessons were learned. The time they spent onstage could have gone for hours if allowed, but the night was getting late, and the guests were off to Chicago the next day, so after about 45 minutes, the event ended.
Rosewater has won many awards at the film festivals where it has screened, and it will surely make a dent in this autumns' national movie schedule. I like the fact that Jon Stewart was able to make this film based on a true story and that its main concern was the journalists that cover worldwide policy and conflict. If the real world would wake up and see what really happens outside of the U.S., and how it is reported, the world, our world, would be a much better place. Go see this film when it comes out, though I personally don't think it will win an Oscar or Academy award, it is a very well documented story that needs to be seen. I truly enjoyed what I saw!

The "IPA shipwreck" is one of many long-lasting myths in the history of India Pale Ale. The story says that IPA became popular in Britain after a ship on its way to India in the 1820s was wrecked in the Irish Sea, and some hogsheads of beer it was carrying out east were salvaged and sold to publicans in Liverpool, after which the city's drinkers demanded lots more of the same. Colin Owen, author of a history of Bass's brewery, called the tale "unsubstantiated" more than 20 years ago, and others, including me, being unable to find any reports of any such wreck, nor of any indication that IPA was a big seller in the UK until the 1840s, have dismissed it as completely untrue. Except that it turns out casks of IPA did go on sale in Liverpool after a wreck off the Lancashire coast involving a ship carrying hogsheads of beer to India, a shipwreck that, literally, became a landmark – though not in the 1820s – and the true story is a cracker, involving one of the worst storms to hit the British Isles in centuries, which brought huge destruction and hundreds of deaths from one side of the UK to the other.
The story of the IPA shipwreck first turns up in 1869 in a book called Burton-on-Trent, its History, its Waters and its Breweries, by Walter Molyneaux, who described how the Burton brewers began brewing beer for export to India from 1823. Molyneaux wrote: "India appears to have been the exclusive market for the Burton bitter beer up to about the year 1827, when in consequence of the wreck in the Irish Channel of a vessel containing a cargo of about 300 hogsheads, several casks saved were sold in Liverpool for the benefit of the underwriters, and by this means, in a remarkably rapid manner, the fame of the new India ale spread throughout Great Britain."
Molyneaux's story has been regularly repeated in the past century and a half. But no one has been able to find a wreck that matched up with his story. This turns out to be, not because the wreck didn't happen, but because he was 12 years out with the date.
The year after Molyneaux's book came out, a different version of the tale appeared in the "notes and queries" section of an obscure publication called English Mechanic and World of Science. The account was written by a man who gave himself the name of "Meunier", and it said: "Forty years ago [ie about 1830] pale ale was very little known in London, except to those engaged in the India trade. The house with which I was connected shipped large quantities, receiving in return consignments of East Indian produce. About 1839, a ship, the Crusader, bound for one of our Indian ports, foundered, and the salvage, comprising a large quantity of export bitter ale, was sold for the benefit of the underwriters. An enterprising publican or restaurant keeper in Liverpool purchased a portion of the beer and introduced it to his customers; the novelty pleased, and, I believe, laid the foundation of the home trade now so extensively carried on."
The two clues – the ship's name and the later date – together with the fact that large numbers of newspapers from the time have now been scanned and made available on the web make it easy to trace the story at last. The Crusader was a 584-tonne East Indiaman, or armed merchantman, described as "a fine large ship with painted ports [that is, gun-ports] and a full-length figurehead", "newly coppered", that is, with new copper sheathing on the hull to prevent attacks by wood-boring molluscs, and "a very fast sailer", under the command of Captain JG Wickman. She had arrived in Liverpool early in November 1838 after a five-month journey from either Calcutta or Bombay (different Liverpool newspapers at the time gave different starting ports) with a cargo including raw cotton, 83 elephants' tusks, coffee, wool, pepper, ginger – and opium, which did not become illegal in Britain until 1916. Captain Wickman and his crew were due to leave for Bombay again on Saturday December 15, after five weeks of roistering in Liverpool, with a cargo that included finished cotton goods, silk, beef and pork in casks, cases of glass shades, iron ingots, tin plates, Government dispatches – and India ale in hogsheads, brewed by two different Burton brewers, Bass and Allsopp, the whole lot being insured for £100,000, perhaps £8 million today.

Milford mourns family run down after blizzard
Couple recalled as kind and caring by co-workers
MILFORD -- From Fairfield to New London and beyond, Feb. 11 was a day in which countless people found themselves walking along highways because just about every residential street was buried under mountains of plowed snow.
And so it was for the Tanski family of Milford's Devon section. With their car hopelessly snowbound, they had little choice.
On that post-blizzard morning they ventured out on foot, perhaps to get groceries along Bridgeport Avenue, also known as Route 1. According to all accounts, they were walking close together and single-file down the road, which was transformed into a slippery alley between neck-high banks of snow.
The weather was cloudy and a cold rain was falling.
Just before noon, an 11-year-old Ford Explorer came careening down the road near the intersection of Cowles Street. With no place to run, the entire family was trapped between walls of dirty snow and ice and the SUV mowed them down.
The bizarre accident left Kevin, 53, and Brenda, 51 -- the mother and father -- critically wounded, and injured the older daughter, Jenny, 21. Courtney, the youngest daughter, managed to escape serious injury.
Kevin died the next day at Bridgeport Hospital, and Brenda followed four days later. Jenny was treated and released from the hospital.
The horrific incident was "one of the most tragic accidents in my memory," said Milford Mayor Benjamin G. Blake, adding that Police Department grief counselors were assisting surviving family members as best they can.
"It's an unspeakable tragedy," he said. "Losing both your mother and father -- I can't imagine what they're going through right now."
William Sequeira, a shocked eyewitness, recalled that the black-and-gray SUV hit the father first, then the mother, knocking them aside like rag dolls before it continued down the road a distance and finally stopped.
"I tried to call 911, but I couldn't get through because everyone was calling at the same time," said Sequeira, an employee of Sandoval Foreign Car Service, across the street from where the accident occurred. "The police blocked off the road for about two hours. I went out and I tried to help the father, and a nurse from across the street was helping the mother until the ambulances came."
Sequeira told the Connecticut Post that he saw the mother, father and two of their daughters walking in single file as close as possible to the snow bank on the side of the road about 11:30 a.m.
The aftermath stayed with him, and Sequeira said he had trouble sleeping that night.
The accident occurred within a quarter-mile of where the couple lived in Devon. Although the family was walking with traffic, they probably didn't have much choice because a few yards down Route 1 is the entrance to Interstate 95's exit 34 on the westbound side of the street, where walking is never a good idea, even in July.
Still, in spite of the mounds of snow on both sides of Route 1, visibility was good along the gunbarrel-straight stretch of highway where the tragedy occurred, and since it was cloudy and rainy that day, sun glare could not have been a factor.
Police, meanwhile, were providing few additional details about the incident. The driver of the vehicle was identified as James Dorso, 31, also of Milford. He has not been charged as yet. Dorso also lives in the city's Devon section, it was learned, about a half-mile from the scene of the accident.
Police said Dorso was at the scene when they arrived, and that he was cooperative.
A visit to the scene of the accident this week revealed that there were still many spots along Bridgeport Avenue where the walks remained choked with snow on both sides of the street.
At the Veterans Affairs Hospital in West Haven, where they worked, Kevin and Brenda Tanski were remembered as a loving, caring couple by their co-workers.
"I can't say enough about Brenda," said Erin Blatchley, who had worked with her for the past seven years. "You couldn't ask more for a friend. Always there when you needed her. She was always willing to listen to the veterans."
Blatchley said Brenda was a "quiet, low-key, behind-the-scenes" sort of person who was also supportive and helpful, both to her co-workers and the patients.
Another co-worker at the VA hospital said that Kevin Tanski had similar traits.
"He was the type of guy that everyone would automatically take a liking to," said Terry Gethers, who worked with Kevin for 23 years. "I can say that there wasn't an evil bone in his body. He was an organ donor, and whoever gets his heart will get a very loving and caring one."
Among the scores of comments made on the funeral home's online guest book, Nicole Vogl wrote: "May they rest in peace and be remembered for the wonderful, caring, sweet people they were ... I will miss them, too, as will so many."
The Tanskis moved to their home in Devon 25 years ago. Kevin was born in Bridgeport; his wife is from Ayer, Mass. Kevin was a highly regarded biomedical engineer at the hospital.
"Kevin's job was to maintain all of the medical equipment we have here," Gethers said. "Everything he did was perfect, as hard as that sounds like, it's true -- it is. I don't know who will fill his void."
Brenda coordinatd benefits for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and was in charge of the "My Health E Vet" program which maintains vets' health records online.
"Brenda was somebody who the veterans could talk to, and help them navigate the system," Blatchley said.
In addition to Jenny and Courtney, the couple is survived by two other children, Jeremy Puckett of Milford and Kevin M. Tanski Jr. of New Haven.
Their funeral is set to take place Friday at 11:30 a.m. at the Holy Name of Jesus Roman Catholic Church, 1950 Barnum Ave., Stratford. Calling hours will take place Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Pistey Funeral Home, 2155 Main St., Stratford. Internment will take place immediately after the funeral at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 1056 Daniels Farm Road, Trumbull.
A trust has been set up to help the couple's children. Contributions can be sent to the Tanski Children's Trust, 162 Lee St., West Haven, CT 06516.
The Traffic Division is continuing with its investigation and is asking anyone with information to contact 203-783-4749 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Before you decided to click on the link that brought you here, was anything else vying for your attention? A shocking tale of celebrity indulgence? An amusing picture of a cat? Are you listening to music right now, or keeping a casual eye on email or Twitter updates?
Of course, BBC Future readers may not be sucked in so easily. But this kind of competition for attention has long been a staple of the "dumbing down" school of digital thought, which sees a surfeit of choices flattening culture into something close to its lowest common denominator.
The argument is a familiar one, and goes something like this: easy, inane and scandalous things tend to win the battle for our immediate attention. Thus, in the crowded and unfettered digital realm, difficult and excellent ideas are driven into retreat. And among these difficult, excellent things, "good" books come close to the top of most lists.
There is certainly something brutally Darwinian about the modern digital marketplace. Yet I wonder, especially when it comes to serious writing, whether this competition also brings something less dispiriting into play: a direct obligation towards your audience that was too often lacking in pre-digital times.
Take the process of publishing a traditional book of non-fiction: 250 pages of well-edited prose between hard covers, priced at between ten and twenty pounds, hoping for healthy sales off the back of wide reviews.
Making sure the book has an engaging central idea is crucial, both for attracting debate and readers. Often, this means basing the book on an article or "big idea" that has already found a large audience or felt particular timely. This in turn often leads to a book containing 50 pages of interesting prose, padded out with 200 further pages of less-than-thrilling examples, anecdotes and amplifications.
Buy an e-book through, say, a Kindle, and one of the first things you will notice is that the length of the text itself is nowhere to be seen. Unlike a hardback, an e-book doesn't have to have 250 pages any more than it has to cost a set amount, or sit handsomely on your shelf. There are some great losses wrapped up in these facts. As far as actually writing a book goes, though, the digital format has one significant advantage over the physical: it is much harder to get away with producing boring waffle.
Take the purchasing procedure for most e-books. Unless an author is unimpeachably famous, or you are buying a sequel, the motto of most digital consumers is "try before you buy". Free samples are becoming as standard a part of all electronic booksellers' operations as readers' reviews and ratings. Gone is the marvellous serendipity of browsing the shelves of a bookshop. But going, too, is the likelihood of being seduced by a book's cover, elegance of production, and titillating blurb.
In this sense, the digital playing field is far more level than the world of print. It asks us to judge an author by the words they write (or choose not to write); and by what other readers, rather than paid publicists, have said about them. There are even community e-book review sites popping up to alert about and discuss new releases – such as "Download the Universe", a site recently launched by a group of A-list science writers.
When it comes to prose itself, this levelling is a paradoxically conservative pressure. For, while the realm of apps is steadily increasing everyone's expectations of interactive media, it's the most old-fashioned virtues that tend to bring the greatest rewards with words: force and clarity of style; hard-hitting themes; engaging plots and characters.
For some critics, this is precisely the apocalypse of mediocrity that doomsayers have spent the last few decades predicting. For others, though – and I number myself among them – it's more of a wake-up-call than a last trumpet. The economics of traditional publishing may be in dire straits. But the incentive for writers themselves to be interesting – and to try to be interesting on every page – has never been sharper.
Shorn of its covers, even the word "book" is beginning to look a little shaky. Substantial, ambitious texts are one thing; but dressing them up as permanent, premium objects is quite another. Who's to say that subscribing directly to your favourite author's output is not a better bet than waiting for it to appear in hefty chunks; or that an audience should have no input into what gets written next, rather than simply waiting to be told?
Consider how digital media have already affected journalism. Economically, the results have often been disastrous; and the related cuts in resources have done great damage to journalism as an institution. Stylistically, though, the digital deluge has compelled the profession and its practitioners at the "quality" end of the market to shed a good deal of complacency, self-indulgence, and general lack of interest in their audience.
In any case, the competition on our screens is only going to get more intense. And when it comes to winning the next century of serious readers, there's only one certainty: the moment someone can simply switch you off, being boring is the last thing you can afford.

California's high-speed rail project still looks like a zombie. It's going nowhere fast, but it is providing some delicious political entertainment for those of us who enjoy ironies -- the richer the better.
The best example is the leading Republican talking point against the high-speed rail.
Noting that the first leg would go through the Central Valley, from Corcoran up to Madera, Republicans have thundered that this will be "a train to nowhere."
U.S. & World
Why is that ironic? Because California Republicans are quite literally the party of nowhere.
"Nowhere" is a pretty good description of where GOP lawmakers live these days.
The party has become regional -- a party of the less-populated areas of California, namely the inland. And it is inland California, particularly the Central Valley, one of the state's more Republican areas, that would benefit from high-speed rail.
And of course, it's a Democratic governor, Jerry Brown, who is fighting to rescue a high-speed rail project that would benefit a part of the state represented by Republicans who have opposed his fiscal policies.
Who says all politics is local? Or that politics is about self-interest? High-speed rail demonstrates that politics, like so many human endeavors, is irrational.
This irrational pattern in the politics of high-speed rail is reflected on other issues of government spending.
The less-populated inland areas of California receive more from government on a per capita basis and pay relatively less in taxes -- but it is representatives from precisely these government-blessed areas that lead the fight for smaller government.
Conversely, big-city dwellers whose taxes subsidize services for the ungrateful inlanders nevertheless tend to be more comfortable with government spending.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, low quality ingredients, controversial filler
The first ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a second meat meal ingredient 11th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make a substantial contribution to the meat content of this food. This is a fish meal ingredient, but We find no guarantee on the manufacturers website that protein sources are ethoxyquin-free (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish destined for meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic).
The 2nd-4th ingredients are peas, wheat flour and rice bran. These are not high quality ingredients. Wheat is one of the most common sources of allergy problems in dog food, and in flour form (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a grain fragment. Rice bran is a further grain fragment. We consider both to be primarily filler. A further grain ingredient is brewers rice which is a low quality grain and byproduct.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.

Hi, I am new to the forum and am chasing advice on what to fit on this boat to power it. Living in Broome I have a limit of 2 current options available, a 250 Verado or a 300 Suzuki 2012 model 440 hrs- both can be fitted for under $15,000. The Verado will be a straight forward fit but the Suzuki has a longer leg and will require transom modifications. or do we search further for the right motor?
Also does anyone recognise the model or make of the boat.
Have recently purchased a boat but are having some trouble with the engine, starts fine runs well but 5 minutes out in the water and the alarm comes on and it derates itself, can someone help ,me pin point the problem,
I live in mandurah so if anyone knows of a mobile boat mechanic that might be able to help would be good also

Creating games is the easy part for developers, but finding ways to make money from their games is challenging because of resources and limited marketing experience. Marketers, on the other hand, don't necessarily have the expertise to develop games, but they need them to drive traffic online for their brands. FlashGameLicense.com (FGL), an online marketplace engineered by the Adobe Flash Platform, brings them together.
Created by two previous independent game developers, FGL offers Adobe Flash game developers a venue to post games and an opportunity for sponsors to shop for games to feature on their sites. Lucrative deals between companies such as ArmorGames, Disney, Kongregate, Microsoft, The Cartoon Network, Viacom (AddictingGames) and Yahoo and tens of thousands of independent developers have been brokered throughout the years.
The Adobe Flash Platform helps both groups reap the benefits. Adobe Flash Player's reach helps companies and their developer partners ensure the widest reception and best performance across multiple platforms. Mentorship, centralized technical resources, peer review and analytics provided to developers guarantee that the best game possible goes live. The quality of the site and its games are such that 30 percent of FGL users come back and uniquely visit the site monthly.
FGL's strength is allowing developers to focus on what they do best—creating games. For example, Berzerk Studios created the hit games, "Homerun in Berzerk Land" and "Gunbot," leaving marketing and monetization to the FGL platform. The games, sponsored by SlixMedia, have received 15 million and 16 million plays respectively. The team's also excited about future endeavors into multi-screen and multiplatform Flash game development. FGL encouraged former game hobbyist-turned-developer Ben Olding to release "Warlords: Call to Arms," which has accumulated 121 million plays in less than two years and still enjoys about 50,000 plays a day.
Adobe is also proud to work with FGL to further mobile game development. Last year, Adobe sponsored FGL's contest, "Cell Your Flash Game," to encourage more mobile game development. The competition generated 260 submissions either built from scratch or ported to mobile from web, up from its original goal of 150 entries.
To learn more about how FGL works with the Flash Platform to effectively match independent developers and designers with sponsors to not only deliver the best game experiences but also effectively monetize them, visit here.
