Keller is best known as one of the leading practitioners of Poetic Realism, a nineteenth-century German-language and Scandinavian prose style that sought to retain the "poetic" values of fiction in the face of an often more cynical socio-politically engaged European Realism. Literary Realism in general is widely understood as "the combination of elements [that] leads the reader to believe that the text has a mimetic relationship to the world" (Robert Holub, Reflections of Realism, Detroit 1991, p. 16). In Keller's case, this combination involves an avoidance of the fantastic (if not the improbable), and a deep emotional precision or psychological realism that endeared his work to Freud, who made frequent use of it in …

Tel Aviv invests in young innovators
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On April 18, 2012 @ 8:20 am In | No Comments
The Tel Aviv Municipality has allocated space at the City Library for young Israeli innovators to meet and share their ideas for new businesses.
Avner Warner, director of economic affairs at the municipality, describes Tel Aviv as a citywide incubator ecosystem of entrepreneurs, mentors and investors.
"There's an entrepreneurial culture in Tel Aviv," says Warner.
Warner says there are some 600 start-ups in the city of less than 400,000 residents. He highlights the laidback atmosphere as the key to success in this city by the sea.
"There's no hierarchy here. It's easy for young entrepreneurs to have access to senior people in business," he says. "Dress casual, act casual, share your information and get advice from people. That is so important in a true entrepreneurial society, that flow of information."

WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
Hi. I've been working on this issue for days and have finally given up. Hopefully someone here has some suggestions as I'm getting ready to break stuff!
Okay, here�s what I have�..
� Verizon Fios
� Verizon 9100EM router
� Netgear WN2000RPT wifi range extender (x3). I bought three of these to act as bridges in various parts of the house
Connected and working:
� Router is working
o Plugged into the router are a blue ray player and Directv home network switch
o I can correct wirelessly to the router (network 3HK9F) via my laptop
o I have a TV connected wirelessly to the router via a wireless adapter
o One of my Netgear extenders is connected wirelessly to the router, and has the network name 3HK9F_EXT
Plugged into the extender are a TV and Blue Ray player which are both functioning okay
So, basically, anything connected wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable to the main router (3HK9F) or the extender (3HK9F_EXT) work fine.
Not working:
� I cannot seem to connect a second Netgear extender to the network. I have tried both spare units, without success. When I first got the extenders (3 weeks ago+/-), I was able to have two connected without any problems. However, I unplugged a bunch of things when I was moving TV�s and things around and have been unable to connect the second unit since.
� I have reset everything multiple times without success.
� When I turn on one of the spare extenders it will show-up in my list of available wifi connections. It shows up as NETGEAR_EXT. I can connect to it and have excellent signal strength.
� When I open a browser, it automatically takes me to the smart wizard (www.mywifiext.net). There, it shows me all available networks and asks me to select one. I select 3HK9F, which is the main signal. It then prompts me for a network key, and asks me to confirm security settings.
� I am then prompted to accept the proposed network name, which comes up automatically as 3HK9F_EXT. I usually change this to 3HK9F_EXT2 or something similar, as I already have a 3HK9F_EXT set-up and working. Now, when I had the second extended working previously, I�m pretty sure it provided me with a network name of 3HK9F_EXT2 automatically, i.e. it recognized there was already a 3HK9F_EXT out there and created an alternative name.
� So, I enter the network name of 3HK9F_EXT2, confirm the security settings (this auto populates and says something about matching the existing network setting), and it runs a 2-minute set-up.
� Once the set-up is complete, as prompts me to connect to the new network (3HK9F_EXT2), then click a box that says �I have connected to the internet� or something along those lines.
� When I try to connect to 3HK9F_EXT2 it always connects, but shows as having �limited of no connectivity�. I have excellent signal strength, but no connection. It�s weird.
� Sometimes it will even show as �connected�, but when I open a browser I get the dreaded internet not available page.
� When I check the status of the connection, it says something about network failed to create an IP address. If I run the repair option, it always fails saying it was unable to create an IP.
� I�ve reset the extender(s) multiple times and gone through this set-up a variety of different ways, i.e. disabling the security option, changing the network name (3HK9F_EXT3, 3HK9F_EXT99, etc.), using different network keys, all with the same result, i.e. full signal but limited or no connectivity.
I took a different approach this morning. I plugged my Linksys Wireless G router into the Verzon router to see what would happen. When I did, the Linksys LED showing internet illuminated, as did the corresponding LED in the Verizon router showing a plugged connection. I was able to view the Linskys network wirelessly (chez grant & wojo), and was able to connect via my laptop. Again though, despite having excellent signal strength, I got the �limited or no connectivity� status. For giggles, I unplugged the Ethernet cable from the Linksys and put it straight into the laptop and was able to achieve a full connection, thus proving the signal from the router was fine.
I then updated the firmware on one of the extenders. Didn't make any difference as I was still able to connect but not get to the internet.
I did make the following observations which may be relative:
� I noticed that the extender I was trying to install was being assigned the same IP address by the router as the extender that already works. I thought this was odd, and I�m pretty sure two wireless devices trying to access the same router with the same IP address would cause a conflict.
� So, I went into my router settings and tried to set-up a static IP for the new extender, using the MAC address and a slightly different IP (only changed one digit). I then went into the extender set-up and entered the revised IP address. Still couldn�t connect.
� I also noticed when setting up the extender that the gateway IP and DNS were auto-filled with all 0�s. That can�t be right. I found the gateway IP and DNS on the router set-up page and entered into the extender set-up but it didn�t make any difference.
� I also tried setting up the extender with no security to see what would happen. Everything seemed to run smoothly, and I got a �connected� status very quickly when connecting my laptop to the extender. However, I was not able to connect to the internet.
� I have to believe this is just a setting, login, or security issue somewhere. Why the router is assigning the same IP address to a new device is weird, but I checked the router settings and everything that relates to the DHCP server is active and looks to be fine.
� Out of frustration I reset everything back to factory defaults and ran through a set up once more this morning with no different result.
So, all this has pretty much driven me nuts. I figure it has to be something simple, and based on my experiment this morning with the Linksys I have to believe the issue is with the Verizon 9100EM router, i.e. it�s getting signal to these devices but there�s something (perhaps a security setting) that�s stopping it from connecting fully. I read something about MAC addresses which was somewhat relevant.
It seems to me that for some reason the devices I�m trying to connect to the network are being blocked by the router. The message of �router was unable to assign an IP address� when connecting wirelessly also must have something to do with it.
Anyway, think that�s all the details. Thanks for giving it a look, at this point I�d welcome any suggestions as I�ve run out of ideas.
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
I spent a week dealing with this same issue. I finally got an 0800 number for support. They were great!
The mistake I was making was in the screen where you are asked for your existing network security key. There is a box labelled pass-phrase with a blue 'generate' box to the right of it. I was putting my routers WEP key into that box. The correct place is the #1 box beneath that (there are four in the list) the pass phrase box should be blank. Something like this from memory.....
Blah blah cant remember exact wording
Enter your routers pass-phrase or key
|Leave this box blank| |generate|
(1) (enter your router password here)
(2) _________________________________
(3) _________________________________
(4) _________________________________
Hope that helps, fixed mine instantly. I now have 4 bars in all the areas I needed.
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
Nice one, I'll give that a go.
Since my original post I disabled all security (router and bridges) and was able to connect everything okay. Once connected, I enabled security again and it shut everything down. That was a big step as it was clear after that everything was working okay, and it was a security issue. I'm currently running unsecured with no problems, but I think what your suggesting will work.
Thanks for the tip!
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
Since you also have all working fine with no security you can also consider upgrading the firmware of your device for fixtures.
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
I bought this too and I'm going to return it and NEVER buy anything from NETGEAR again.
I had a netgear router and was sold this extender on the basis that it would be the easiest set up. I've spent the last hour trying to make this work and I couldn't get it to work on any of the PCs I've tried.
Set up is not easy (unless you are some kind of network engineer I suppose).
And to complete the picture NETGEAR's support is pathetic.
1) you have to enter your information to get a number
2) once connected to a live person, it took her 10 mins to get my info, my reg number and transfer me to an 'expert' engineer.
3) this expert took my information again....and transferred me back to the main recording.
Niice - I typically don't complain but i'm so irritated, I HAD to put something on this forum so people knew not to buy from this company.
Bad product, terrible support.
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
I found it very easy to install by simply switching it on and going in to my routers maintenance page http://routerlogin.com and clicking on Add New WPS then scanning for the WN2000RPT and pressing the WPS button on the front of the Access Point. However the range is very poor so I to will be requesting a refund from MapLins tomorrow morning.
If anyone knows how to up the range on this thing that would be great because I love NetGear routers etc.
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
Google inssider and survey the best location to overlap the signal well
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
I have worked out the best area to overlap the signals but all I get from just over 10ft away in a more or less direct line is a red LED. I've moved it closer to get green but my router signals that distance anyway on its own.
Whats the difference between an Access Point/Extender and a Repeater..?
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
Extender joints the existing networks vs repeating will use WEP only
Re: WN2000RPT Connection Problems.....
Worked perfectly for two months now I have the same problem....followed all the steps multiple times but it refuses to connect in the last step. Did the same thing yesterday and it connected but this morning it had lost the connection again. So.....I repeated the entire process four separate times. I keep getting a message to move it closer. I had the damn thing sitting on the router. So should I open up the router and shove it in?
This is so frustrating I am beginning to believe the long list of users who, as a result of the frustration with this product, are swearing off Netgear forever.

NBA WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: THUNDER v SPURS
May 26, 2014
Gregg Popovich
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA: Practice Day
Q. Is Manu still out for the series? (Laughter).
GREGG POPOVICH: Well, we're doing all the tests. One never knows. (Laughter). We've been surprised by part of what he's done in recovery‑wise, so we'll see.
Q. You got that playful jab in at the press conference. What's it like when you're going against‑‑
GREGG POPOVICH: You've got some humor, right?
Q. What's it like when you're going up against the guys that have come up through your system and got to play against these guys in the Playoffs?
GREGG POPOVICH: You know, it's difficult because you root for those guys all the time, and then all of a sudden you can't. But win or lose, we all remain close and friendly without a doubt.
Q. The 22‑0 free‑throw discrepancy in the third quarter, was that strictly a result of their being the much more‑aggressive team?
GREGG POPOVICH: That's what I told my team.
Q. Jokes aside, at the end of the day on a professional level are you okay with the way the Thunder handled‑‑
GREGG POPOVICH: That's irrelevant to me. Everybody handles things differently. No one really knows what their motivation was or how much was a game or how much was just fact. I don't think it's really relevant. You go play and whoever is on the court plays. It's none of our business who they play or who they don't play, so I just look at it that way.
Q. When he does come back, did you feel like the energy and the emotion of last night had any impact on your club?
GREGG POPOVICH: You mean of Serge being back?
Q. Serge being back, the crowd and the uniqueness‑‑
GREGG POPOVICH: All these guys are pros. They go play. I don't think that had anything to do with us not getting back in transition or not picking up a roller in the half court or not being as aggressive, the disparity in free throws really shows a sign of aggressiveness. It's about the game. It's about how you play. But if you don't shoot well, which we didn't do last night, it's a bad combination to also play poor defense at the other end. That's not going to work.
Q. Generally about aggressiveness, what does Tony have to do to‑‑
GREGG POPOVICH: He's got to play better. He's our best player. He's got to play better.
Q. On the aggressive nature, do you feel like maybe you guys maybe settled for jump shots at times instead of attacking?
GREGG POPOVICH: Well, that happens throughout the game on every team. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don't, but in general it's more about the defense than it was‑‑ you can't control the shooting. If you don't shoot well, you don't shoot well. I don't get too excited about that. But you'd better play defense at the other end to keep yourself in the game, and we didn't do that well enough. Durant and Westbrook shot too many free throws, and we took care of that the first two games, but that got away from us, for instance, in Game 3. That's a big part of what they do. That can't happen.
Q. Is Manu practicing today?
GREGG POPOVICH: Yes, Manu is going to practice. He has contact, he'll go about 40 minutes, knock heads, and we'll see how he is.
Q. You've always appreciated the international talent, and Serge is a guy that like a lot of guys in this league, he's been through a lot and came up through a country that had a ton of turmoil. Even he doesn't know if he has 18 siblings or 20 siblings and it's a very different experience. What kind of perspective have you had on him just in the past couple of years?
GREGG POPOVICH: I think he's a special player and a special person. The way he handles himself, the class that he exudes, I think he's the best defensive player in the league, but I think he's been overlooked to some degree in that regard. But he also does what he does at the offensive end. I think he's one of the most gifted players in our league because he's a dual player. He does it at both ends of the court. But he's also a fine man, so that's a pretty great combination.
Q. As a general rule, with a great defensive player, do you try to stay away from him or to you try to attack him?
GREGG POPOVICH: A little bit of both. It depends on the situation or who the person is, it's attacking or not attacking.

Frampton enjoyed a successful career as a sculptor and craftsman. After training at the Royal Academy schools and in Paris, he created many statues and public monuments including Peter Pan (1912) in Kensington Gardens. Closely associated with the Arts and Crafts movement, Frampton practised enamelling, goldsmith's work and woodcarving. Many of his sculptures are characterised by the combination of different materials, such as bronze and marble.

Cardiorespiratory monitor - infants; Apnea monitor - infants; Heart rate monitor - infants
A heart–respiratory monitor can measure a baby's or child's:
Caregivers can use these measurements to determine how the baby or child is doing, and help make decisions regarding treatments and medicines.
The monitor often uses stick-on electrodes, or patches, that detect chest movement and the heart beat. The patches are attached to the baby in several places on the chest or the stomach, and connect to the monitor using an electric cable.
Electrodes may cause mild skin irritation. Extremely premature babies with very sensitive skin may need special gel-like electrodes to reduce skin damage.
Blood pressure is rarely monitored. If it is, a cuff will be placed on the baby's arm or leg.
Oxygen levels are monitored using a pulse oximeter, which is a small red light device placed on the baby's finger or toe. It does not harm the skin.
It's important to note that monitors are electrical instruments, and they may not work if there is power loss or an electrical problem. Although monitoring capabilities are lost, there is no risk to the baby.
Infants and children may occasionally be sent home from the hospital with these monitors.

"Kids think prescription drugs are safer than street drugs because you can buy them in a drugstore," says Nancy Coffey, a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency official for New England, one of the nation's hot spots for prescription drug abuse. "But they're more powerful. And that's where kids get into trouble."
Lots and lots of kids. Nearly one in five teens has used prescription drugs to get high; one in ten high school seniors reports having abused a prescription drug in the past year. And that's just what teens are willing to admit. They say they like the woozy, light-headed feeling that drugs like Vicodin, used in excess, can induce. "It takes everything away," says Jack,* 17, from rural Maine. "You don't feel hurt; you don't feel stress. Nothing bothers you."
Accidental fatal drug overdoses have soared by 500 percent since 1990, and federal officials say prescription medications — primarily painkillers such as OxyContin, Vicodin, and methadone, all synthetic versions of opium — are largely to blame. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), opioid painkillers now cause more lethal overdoses than heroin and cocaine put together. Most alarming: The rate of fatal overdose among 15- to 24-year-olds has spiked 300 percent in recent years.
Young people simply don't understand that even legal prescription drugs have a "wild-card factor," says Thomas Andrew, MD, New Hampshire's chief medical examiner. Methadone, the biggest prescription drug killer in New Hampshire, kicks in slowly, then lingers at full strength. That long "half-life" is dangerous for anyone not used to the drug, Dr. Andrew says. "They'll take 40 milligrams, which is a big dose, and a little while later, they'll say, 'I'm really disappointed. I thought I'd get a buzz on from this. I'm just going to take another 40.'
"But by the time the full 80 milligrams kicks in, it's not going to make them feel the way they want to feel," Dr. Andrew says. "It's going to stop their respiration."

Today in England is Mothering Sunday and difficult for my wife as she lost her Mum last Dec. I have always given her a card and a pressie for being such a wonderful Mum to my daughter. Now she is doing the same to our Son-in-law.
A Mum is special, they give love care compassion without any thought to her own well being.

What's so good?
By Aaron Blum | Jan 15, 2013 | Total plays: 8,286
"AfterShock" got back-to-back listens from me, which ultimately influenced my decision on what song to post from the EP. Collaborating with Big Gigantic on the track provides your ears with some additional heavy whomps while keeping a steady flow to bounce with. Oh, and then the saxophone comes with the lovin' feeling!
I would also like to give the heads up to the track "The Bridge," -- it was equally entertaining, with a edgy electronic rock feel.
Savoy is currently sharing a free download of the EP over at their website, so hurry on yonder to cop that. Otherwise peep their SoundCloud page for the new and oldies.

Dynamics of Information Systems: Algorithmic Approaches presents recent developments and results found by participants of the Fourth International Conference on the Dynamics of Information Systems, which took place at the University of Florida, Gainesville FL, USA on February 20-22, 2012. The purpose of this conference was to bring together scientists and engineers from industry, government, and universities to exchange knowledge and results in a broad range of topics relevant to the theory and practice of the dynamics of information systems. Dynamics of Information plays an increasingly critical role in our society. The influence of information on social, biological, genetic, and military systems must be better understood to achieve large advances in the capability and understanding of these systems. Applications are widespread and include: detection of terrorist networks, design of highly efficient businesses, computer networks, quantum entanglement, genome modeling, multi-robotic systems, and industrial and manufacturing safety. The book contains state-of-the-art work on theory and practice relevant to the dynamics of information systems. It covers algorithmic approaches to numerical computations with infinite and infinitesimal numbers; presents important problems arising in service-oriented systems, such as dynamic composition and analysis of modern service-oriented information systems and estimation of customer service times on a rail network from GPS data; addresses the complexity of the problems arising in stochastic and distributed systems; and discusses modulating communication for improving multi-agent learning convergence. Network issues--in particular minimum-risk maximum-clique problems, vulnerability of sensor networks, influence diffusion, community detection, and link prediction in social network analysis, as well as a comparative analysis of algorithms for transmission network expansion planning--are described in later chapters.

Bomaz Farms seeks expansion, upgradeBomaz Farms, a dairy operation in the Town of Pleasant Valley, is hoping to upgrade their facility in the near future.
Bomaz Farms, a dairy operation in the Town of Pleasant Valley, is hoping to upgrade their facility in the near future.
The upgrade will include a modest increase in animals to approximately 1,400 units, from about 1,300.
But before that can happen they need to be approved for a Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.
Through the WPDES permit program, the Department of Natural Resources regulates municipal, industrial and animal waste operations discharging water to surface or groundwater. Each permit contains monitoring, reporting and operational requirements needed to ensure protection of Wisconsin's water resources, according to the DNR website.
Parkers Creek and the Kinnickinnic Watershed receive water from Bomaz Farms, located at 426 165th St., Hammond.
Along with increasing animal units, plans call for a new lagoon and digester. Those were approved by the DNR in March 2010.
The facility will have more than the 180 days required manure storage, according to a notice from the DNR. Manure will be landspread on about 1,200 acres in accordance with an approved nutrition management plan.
The DNR has tentatively decided that the WPDES plan should be issued for the new discharge but public comments are welcome.
People who wish to comment on or object to the proposed permit action, or request a public hearing, may write to Robert Rohland, DNR, Black River Service Center, 910 Highway 54 East, Black River Falls, WI 54615, call 715-284-1429 or e-mail robert.rohland@wis consin.gov.
All comments or suggestions received by 4:30 p.m. Saturday, July 24, will be considered along with other information on file in making a final decision regarding the permit. Anyone providing comments in response to this public notice will receive a notification of the department final decision.
Where designated as a reviewable surface water discharge permit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is allowed up to 90 days to submit comments or objections regarding this permit determination. If no comments are received on the proposed permit from anyone, including the U.S. EPA, the permit will be issued as proposed.
Bomaz Farms is owned by brothers Bob and Greg Zwald and their wives Kay and Irma, according to their website. They currently milk about 600 cows and run approximately 1,200 acres.
The operation currently has about 1,300 animal units from a mix of dairy cows, heifers and calves, according to Bob Rohland of the DNR. An animal unit is based on a scale that says there is one unit for a 1,000 pound steer; a scale for other weights and animals.

Ed Dahlgren of Aroostook County, Maine
"Once we went four months without a break at the front. This was in the Vosges Mountains and it was rough going. When we got to a point where there weren't too many of us left, they said we're going back. We had less than one platoon and I was in charge of it. I thought they'd give us a real break. We came back at night, walking ten miles through the rain into a valley. We marched into town and along both sides of the streets men were lined up, replacements for our company. A first lieutenant says to me, 'Sgt. Dahlgren, go up and down the line and pick your men. Pick 40, and keep the men you have with you now.' We spent that night in a barn, and the next morning we had a full platoon and were sent back to the front. I never forgot that. I thought we'd have a rest of a week or two. Instead we went back with a whole green company, everybody's first combat except for me and a few others.
"I got men to follow me, though, because I was always willing to go ahead. That wasn't what I was taught, it was just my philosophy. I think a lot of my men came back because I'd pull back and try a different approach rather than attack a suicide position. I always tried to lead them into the best odds possible. I wasn't after glory. I figured if they wanted to replace me, they could. But we didn't see too many high-ranking officers where we were.
"At the end, there were only seven left from what we started out with some were wounded and the others were cooks. And to think of all the hundreds brought in as replacements, so many I never knew."
We pass a Bonanza Steak House on the left in Presque Isle. It is noon and Ed is hungry. "I love the baked stuffed haddock," he says. So we stop.
"… After reorganizing his unit he advanced to clear hostile riflemen from the building where he had destroyed the machine gun. He entered the house by a window and trapped the Germans in the cellar, where he tossed grenades into their midst, wounding several and forcing 10 more to surrender. "
All day and all night trucks rumble through the town of Mars Hill, Maine, a junction town of 2,000 where routes 1 and 1A intersect hard on the Canadian border. It's where Ed Dahlgren came 35 years ago to work as a state seed potato inspector, where he married a hometown daughter of a potato farmer, where he stayed to raise four children. He retired prematurely a few years ago because of his angina and the incessant kidney stones. He worked much of his career before the small farms folded, and erosion threatened the land. He had the towns of Bridgewater, Mars Hill, and Monticello, and where there are perhaps 40 farms today, he had 150 to inspect. He'd have to check each seed potato farm for fungus and rot at least three times a season and to cover the ground he'd leave after sunrise, and not return until dark. He was used to working 60 hours a week, used to the comfortable fatigue around the dinner table and when he retired he didn't know what to do with himself. (He was thankful. though, for the special Medal of Honor pension that pays all medal holders $200 a month.)
He'd walk the mile into town, dally at the post office, stop at Al's Diner for coffee, go to the Legion Hall overlooking the Prestile Stream. He'd build a fire slowly in the black cast-iron stove at the Legion Hall, picking the wood carefully from the wood bin in the hall, and then he'd walk home, past the sub shop, and the two game rooms, and the two barbershops.
"It's better now," he had told me. "A group of us meet in the afternoon at the Legion Hall for cards or pool. It's not that I'm bored, but it would be rough going if I didn't have anything to do." Whenever he can he visits the veterans in the nursing homes.
We had stopped first at the small office of the seed inspectors. Two men wearing Agway hats were playing cribbage. The radio was on low, By the door were piled sacks of potatoes. "How are you, Eddie?" asked a man who had trained with Ed, and had worked with him for eight years. Ed shrugged. "Not bad," he said. "Considering. I just had the flu, Every root in my hair was sore. I lost 12 pounds in three days. Of course," he added, "I could afford to lose a few. But I had two more stones the same time. Passed them
last Friday at 1 o'clock."
The seed inspector winced. "I never had one, and I don't want one." He turned his attention to me, "I'll tell you this about Eddie," he said, "I rogued [culled bad potatoes] for seven years before I took this job, but I learned more from Eddie in one week than I did roguing. I'd grown up on a farm but be showed me diseases I'd never seen before."

FORGET pagers and mobile phones. The next hip communications device could be the digital token.
The size and shape of a lipstick, each token can be programmed with a unique code. The token snaps in half, to be shared between friends, acquaintances or business contacts. Each half of a broken token has the same code. "You can create a privileged communication channel by just halving a token into two identical pieces and by sharing it with a friend," says Uzi Malimovka, an industrial designer at the Royal College of Art in London, who created the token.
Both the giver and receiver of a token takes it home or to their office, where they plug it into a base unit. This reads the code transmitted by a transponder buried in the token. The base unit calls a central database to find out where the other half of the token is, and ...

Ancient egypt family in life
It was entirely owing to this deficiency in the scheme of things that Arthur had ever brought any one into trouble ancient egypt family in life himself. He was nothing if not good-natured; and all his pictures of the future, when he should come into the estate, were made up of a prosperous, contented tenantry, adoring their landlord, who would be the model of an English gentleman- mansion in first-rate order, all elegance and high taste-jolly housekeeping, finest stud in Loamshire-purse open to all public objects-in short, everything as different as possible from what was now associated with the name of Donnithorne. And one of the first good actions he would perform in that future should be to increase Irwines income for the vicarage of Hayslope, so that ancient egypt family in life might keep a carriage for his mother and sisters. His hearty affection for the rector dated from the age of frocks and trousers. It was an affection partly filial, partly fraternal- fraternal enough to make him like Irwines company better than that of most younger men, and filial enough to make him shrink strongly from incurring Irwines disapprobation.

For those of you that somehow manage to miss the buzz, Neowin release a weekly podcast hosted by Christopher Vendemio (bangbang023) and Rob Wright (Rob). Covering some of the more discussion-worthy items of news from the previous week, the shows have a light-hearted feel and have a very open invitation for listener feedback. Through the new voicemail numbers, you're very welcome to give your views and suggest topics for discussion.
Last week a popular feature on the forums was the beginnings of a commentary of how the editing process occurs and just what's involved. This week we're going to try giving you a bit of feedback on today's recording and just what happens when. We'll update this post as we go through, so feel free to ask any questions and we'll do our best to give you some insight.
All times are GMT on the day of recording.
08:00 - Rob gets up ready for work and checks on the voicemails, encoding all the credible ones to MP3 format and sending them to Chris.
16:00 - Chris wakes up and checks out the voicemails, taking a look at the past week's news and compiling a show itinerary before sending to Rob.
17:00 - Rob leaves work, checks the voicemails once more and sets up the third PC used to record the show live. We use Ventrilo, a popular VOIP client with adjustable audio codecs to achieve the best sound quality possible. In total, three PCs are used - one to record, and two as clients during recording.
18:23 - Prior to recording, Rob spends a good 20 minutes untangling his headphone cable. Getting knots out of stretchy audio cable is no fun.
18:29 - Chris starts the Ventrilo server, participants connect for initial microphone levels check.
18:46 - Recording starts, welcome and first news item.
18:48 - First mess up of the night - Rob fluffs his words and ends up swearing. Restart methinks.
19:10 - Some nice rants by Chris and Rob...
19:25 - Special guest getting ready...
19:30 - Brief break, Rob eats some Skittles and Chris blows his nose. Oh yes. Special guest connecting.
19:48 - Show is now complete. Chris begins editing the RSS feed and prepares the news post and Rob begins the long process of editing the show.
19:53 - Rob exports the recorded file to a WAV file. The raw, unedited NeowinCAST this week is 46m15s in length.
20:35 - Rob: 12 minutes edited. Bored, but motivated.
21:08 - Rob: 25 minutes edited. Slowly losing the will to live.
21:47 - Rob: Core editing done. Headache. Applying compression.
21:54 - Rob: Edit in the voicemail, and top and tail the audio file with the theme music...
22:03 - Rob's bladder almost bursting, doing final audio tweaking and exporting to MP3.
22:09 - Final edited show: 40m59s in length, 937MB of raw audio, compressed at 128kb/s MP3 to around 38MB.
22:11 - Uploading MP3 to super-secret-staff-server for Chris.
22:20 - Chris is nowhere to be seen... Rob shouts at his IM client but somehow Vendemio doesn't hear.
22:25 - Chris gets back to see the IM and begins downloading the final file for ID3 tag editing and album art embedding.
22:28 - Chris begins uploading final file and prepares front page post for final publishing.
22:34 - File is upload, RSS feed is uploaded and news is posted on the front page. The process is complete.

BOSTON (AP) — Kevin Garnett stole the ball from his friend and put the finishing touch on an emotional night with a layup that helped him and Paul Pierce become winners in their return to Boston.
Nets top Celtics 85-79 as Pierce, Garnett return
It started with pregame standing ovations for the leaders of the Celtics last championship team and ended with an 85-79 win for the Brooklyn Nets after Garnett picked off Rajon Rondo's turnover and dribbled in slowly for an uncontested basket with 20 seconds left Sunday night.
"I knew they needed a 3 at that point and I just played the passing lane," Garnett said. "I thought I was going to get caught, but I got it."
That gave Brooklyn an 82-77 lead.
It was a rare highlight for the returning stars in a game in which they fought to control their emotions while still trying to contribute to their current team.
"I had lumps in my throat and I tried to focus as much as I could," Pierce said. "I'm happy we got it over with and I can go back to playing basketball."
Pierce, the second leading scorer in Celtics history, and Garnett scored just six points each, and Pierce missed eight of his 10 shots. But they received several standing ovations on the court where they won the team's 17th championship in 2008. They also were honored in tributes shown on the video screen early in the game six months after a blockbuster trade sent them to Brooklyn.
"It was, by far, the hardest day that I had to focus," said Garnett, a 19-year veteran. "It's a good homecoming."
Andray Blatche scored 17 points and Alan Anderson and Andrei Kirilenko had 11 each as the Nets won for the 10th time in 11 games.
The Celtics, losing for the 17th time in 20 games, were led by Brandon Bass with 17 points. Rondo had 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists one night after having dinner with Pierce and Garnett.
During the video tribute to Garnett in a timeout with 2:25 left in the first quarter, he stood near his bench with a white towel draped over his head. He smiled, pounded the left side of his chest and waved several times to the crowd.
The tribute to Pierce at the end of the first quarter was longer and drew a louder ovation. He looked up at the video board above center court with a somber expression. The camera panned to him on the court showing him repeatedly mouthing the words, "thank you."

Time for another look at Alex Delaware's personal life and history. I suppose I need to do this every few years to make sure I'm delivering authentic goods to my readers. This time, AD is the target of a shadowy psychopath intent on carefully-crafted revenge, for reasons unknown to our dear doctor. I was out for a claustrophobic sense of menace and dread – of life spinning out of control abruptly and without warning. Perhaps it was working through the shock of cancer diagnosis a few years back – the "Are you sitting down?" call from my doctor. Or maybe it was simply ye olde twisted mind at work again. Francis Ford Coppola bought the book to develop as a t.v. movie and hired a skilled screenwriter to adapt it. It didn't work and I rewrote the script. Everyone seemed to be happy until the t.v. executive who'd made the deal left ABC and his replacement wrote pages of barely literate notes. One gem: "Alex Delaware needs a defect. How about a limp?" The rest, as they say, is non-history.

EA did surprise us by giving out a release date of as soon as May, though. Much like previous BioWare releases, the Mass Effect port will feature a revamped interface and presentation specifically optimized for the PC including fully customizable controls, high-resolution visuals, hotkey-assigned run-and-gun controls, a new decryption mini-game, and a new inventory screen GUI and functionality.
In the official press release, Frank Gibeau, President of EAs Games Label said the company struck an agreement with Microsoft to handle future publishing for Mass Effect. But now that EA has officially taken over all publishing duties for the series, one question remains unanswered: does this new agreement limit what platforms future Mass Effect titles can appear on, or is the franchise now free to appear on PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 and PC?

Deaf Community Group Hosts Chat About Deaf History Month
Story By: Brigitte Coles
Originally Published on: 3/27/2014
Brumby's Coffee House and Pizzeria in Bellville was the setting for North East Ohio Deaf Community Chat's latest gathering Wednesday evening.
NE Ohio Deaf Community Chat is dedicated to bringing the deaf and hard of hearing together for monthly events to provide resources and activities for the Deaf in our local community.
March 13 through April 15 is National Deaf History Month. Presenter Rita Neal talked about the culture and rich history of the deaf community.
"It's very important for deaf people to have this kind of exposure. I want people who can hear to understand that we're just like them," Neal said.
"We're not different. We have a unique history, deaf inventors, deaf historians, all kinds of things. They were people who had ears not functioning but they're the same as everybody else," Neal said.
The group was started in January with just 20 people, but that number is increasing. NE Ohio Deaf Community Chat chairwoman, Jessica Fry, says the group provides an opportunity to promote the success of the deaf community.
"People come from all over northeast Ohio and look forward to getting together. This is a very unique setting, people who can hear, people who are deaf, we are very open and welcome everyone," Fry said.
"You don't have to be deaf, we want everyone to come, socialize and be a part of the group," Fry said.
The group and their video blog is on Facebook. For more information about the group and its monthly events visit www.facebook.com/communitychat2014?ref=stream.

Small Business Administration helps local entrepreneur clean up Pittsburgh
Before the doctors, nurses and patients arrive at the new Children's Hospital in Lawrenceville, Mary Coffey makes sure the hospital is ready to open its doors. Coffey isn't a local building inspector, she is president of All-Purpose Cleaning Services, Inc., an industrial cleaning corporation which was awarded the final construction cleanup contract for the hospital. "I clean everything up before they (the tenants) move in," the Crafton resident said.
While cleaning up might not be considered glamorous, Coffey literally has been cleaning up Pittsburgh for the past 30 years and parlayed a job as a nanny into a million-dollar business. Not bad for a woman who dropped out of Langley High School at 17. "I got pregnant and couldn't finish school with my classmates," she stated. "A year later, I was married and two years later I had baby number two."
In 1978 Mary and her twin sister Martha opened the Mary and Martha Cleaning Service. They did it with $35, a sweeper and a few cleaning supplies. Two years later, she formed her own company – All-Purpose Cleaning Services, Inc. "I was always interested in business, as a child I sold candy apples," she explained. "I wanted bigger and better things for myself and the excitement of owning a big business."
Along the way, Mary had some assistance from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Pittsburgh District Office. She entered the Agency's 8(a) program in 1985.The purpose of the 8(a) program is to promote equal access for socially and economically disadvantaged individuals to participate in the business sector of the nation's economy. Individuals must make a nine-year commitment, during which time they receive business development assistance, access to government opportunities and technical support.
Coffey said the SBA helped her to better market her company. She began attending seminars and networking at marketing events. "When a business enters our 8(a) program we teach them marketing techniques, because they are the best salesperson for their company," said Barbara Fisher, deputy district director of the Pittsburgh District SBA.. "We can't guarantee government work, but, instead we show them how to enter the government market – it's then up to them to market their product or service."
"For the first four years, I really didn't go out and sell myself," Coffey explained. "Finally, I got my first big contract cleaning the federal courthouse in downtown Pittsburgh." Other contracts soon followed, including the Pittsburgh International Airport and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Today, Coffey serves as president and estimator of All-Purpose Cleaning Services, Inc., and Multi-Purpose Cleaning and oversees a staff of more than 80 people.
Donning a suit, hardhat and boots, Coffey goes on site visits to bid on contracts. "I'm always the only woman there," she said laughing. "In fact, I once took an excavating class and the men were saying 'why is she here, she's a cleaning lady'…But, of all of those men there, I'm the only one still in business."
Note: For more information on the SBA's programs, please contact the SBA Western Pennsylvania District Office at 412-395-6560.

Getting Computers to Talk Like You and Me
Getting a computer to understand our everyday language may be a long way off; the computer has to know how to think as well as follow the rules of a particular language. This book makes an important contribution to the study of pragmatics and discourse by presenting an explicit and precise computational approach to the complex problem of the structure of discourse.
As Professor Stephen Pinker of MIT notes, "Reichman has laudably chosen to inject some precision into a field much in need of it."
The book first looks at extended person-machine communication, beginning with person-person communication and focusing in particular on the conversational flow itself - what makes for coherent discourse? It then describes a computer model that describes this phenomenon as an augmented transition network (ATN).
Rachel Reichman is Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California, San Diego.
"This work represents a significant step toward a comprehensive computational model for human dialog, and as such it should attract attention from linguists, psychologists, and workers in artificial intelligence. I am not aware of any other models that attempt to cover the full range of human conversational behavior."
- Wendy Lehnert, Associate Professor, Computer and Information Science, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Hi everyone,
Fired up vmware for the first time in a while, and noticed that NAT-based

I noticed that when I run ifconfig -a there is no listing for the vmnet8

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I have tried updating vmware to the latest version, and re-compiled the kernel

From hardwood to diamond
Q: It sounds like the academic side is very important to you.
A: I'm not OK with mediocrity. I will not settle for a B when, with a little effort, I can get an A. I push myself to get good grades.
Q: What's your best memory in basketball?
A: Hitting a 3-pointer early this season at the buzzer to send a game with Mission Hills to overtime. Then we won in overtime. And there was a four-overtime win over Olympian that was pretty good.
Q: How about baseball? What's your best memory?
A: We had a rain delay with Ramona last season. It was about three hours. During the rain delay, we were acting out things with the Ramona players. It was a lot of fun. Then I went out and had a solid game. Andrew McWilliam won it with a walkoff.
Q: Did you ever think about playing football?
A: Yes, but I didn't want to get hurt and miss a basketball or baseball season.
Q: What position would you have played?
A: Receiver or quarterback.
Q: What are your college plans?
A: I'm undecided. Am I a baseball player, a basketball player or just a student? UCLA is my school if I just want to be a student, but I would miss the competition so much. I know I could play a sport at a smaller school, so I have some decisions to make. I'd like to stay on the West Coast, but if the right school wanted me, I'd go anywhere. Playing on the East Coast doesn't scare me.

Five-time World Cup winners Brazil have fallen to 19th in the Fifa world rankings, their lowest ever position.
Brazil are hosting the 2014 World Cup but a lack of competitive matches has seen them drop to their worst placing since the rankings began in 1993.
England are seventh, the Republic of Ireland are 39th, Wales move up 22 places to 49th, while Scotland are 77th and Northern Ireland are 119th.
Spain remain top of the rankings, ahead of Germany, Argentina and Croatia.
Brazil, who won the World Cup in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, were ranked as the best team in the world as recently as May 2010, but are now below Greece (13th), Switzerland (15th) and Belgium (16th).
England's 1-1 draw in Montenegro has seen them fall from fourth last month to seventh, with Portugal (fifth), Colombia (sixth), Italy (eighth), the Netherlands (ninth) and Ecuador (10th) making up the rest of the top 10.

Greening Tribal Casinos

Conference Center Parking Lots and Garages Shuttle Service
|Spa Swimming Pool
The meeting rooms and conference centers are a great place to begin and implement sustainable practices. Making your conference center "green" opens doors to clientele who are either looking for or who are required to have a green meeting space for their conference or workshop.
Conferences and meetings offer a a number of of greening opportunities, particularly in the areas of reduced water and energy use, and waste management. Opportunities for making smart purchasing choices that can reduce the amount of toxins both workers and patrons are exposed abound. For example, switching to reusable drink glasses or purchasing bar napkins with post-consumer recycled paper content are small changes that can make a big difference. EPA's green meeting checklist and green meeting guide are great starting places.
Choosing less hazardous cleaning products that have positive environmental attributes, and taking steps to reduce exposure can minimize harmful impacts to custodial workers and building occupants, improves indoor air quality, and reduces water and ambient air pollution while also ensuring the effectiveness of cleaning in removing biological and other contaminants from the building's interior.
Tribal casinos are starting a number of exciting programs to recycle and compost their waste materials. EPA's WasteWise Program developed a resource page specifically for entertainment venues/facilities. Composting food scraps or donating leftover food can be a great way to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. Multiple case studies can be found on the casino composting page.
The David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburg is one of world's first green conference centers. To learn more about their program, please visit their website Built Green Working Green Everyday.
In order to change your method of operation on a long-term basis to a more environmentally friendly one, you may want to create a plan that includes all aspects of greening your operations and which is easy to understand and implement. This can be done through the creation of an Environmental Management System . If you are building a new facility or remodeling an existing building, there are significant opportunities to construct in a manner that reduces the environmental impact of the building and can save money in the long run.

Replying to: Corporate stores don't know about new phone releases? by Victek
"they don't know about releases until 24 hours beforehand"
Seriously. Does ANYONE believe that? Who would run a business like that? Retail Ops and store managers have to know what inventory they will receive in advance. I would say at least two to three weeks. Again, can't call anyone a liar, but I would never turn my back on someone who made a statement like that.

ICT policy: far from gender neutral
By APCNews
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, 26 November 2004
Women's organizations are dealing with so many priority issues, it's hard to see information and communication technologies (ICT) as anything more than a tool to facilitate their work. For this reason 16 members of the APC Women's Networking Support Programme (APC WNSP) came together in early November in Cape Town, South Africa, to map out key gender and ICT issues for the APC WNSP's upcoming Gender and ICT Policy website. The site development workshop intertwined capacity-building with participatory site planning methodology, enriched by country perspectives from a myriad of points around the globe.
Participants of the workshop came from Argentina, Brazil, Czech Republic, England, Jordan, Lithuania, Mexico, Malaysia, Philippines, South Africa and Zambia.
The envisioned site, aimed at women's organizations worldwide, will connect women's rights and their relationship to ICT, especially ICT policy. "The site won't necessarily make every woman who visits into an empassioned gender and ICT advocate", said Erika Smith, workshop participant, "but it will illustrate how ICT, and ICT policy, are far from gender neutral. And as women explore the issues, and see the links, the site will offer tools for them to get even more involved in the world of ICT policy."
"We are used to 'ICT-speak' and sometimes in the WNSP we talk about universal access and e-governance as if everyone spoke on the same terms", she continued. "People don't necessarily see the link between universal access to women's safety or secure online spaces."
Jac S.M. Kee, from Malaysia, added, "For example, a local organisation that works on issues of violence against women and related matters like displacement, personal safety, mobility and economic security will be able to see the implications of ICT in this matter. Such women's organizations need to be able to control and manage technology so that they can have "safe" content on the Fuente: TechSoup Glossary y GenderIT.org ">internet- support for survivors as well as information on how survivors can make sure their internet usage is safe by deleting caches and histories in browsers. Hopefully, as women's organisations explore their own issues on the site, the urgency of engagement with advocacy on ICT issues that prioritise gender will become more evident."
The emphasis on building knowledge from conversations that connect the local and the global was also reflected through the process of the workshop. "Our experience with women's movements has shown us that we need the local perspective to make ICT relevant, so for this initiative we have local content providers based in Malaysia, Jordan, Brazil, Zambia and Lithuania, who are linked to women's movements or organisations in the region", said Katerina Fialova, coordinator of the Gender and ICT Policy Site Project. The meeting provided an invaluable opportunity for the website development team members from these various geographical locations to meet and engage in exchange of skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.
"It was exciting to be able to come together face-to-face and see the different strategic uses of ICT that women implement in order to achieve their aims", says Dafne Plou, WNSP regional coordinator for Latin America and the Caribbean. "This site should be a place where women find resources to nourish their activism and at the same time, understand the need to have a gender perspective on ICT policies at any level in order to achieve women's advancement and gender equity in the ICT field, too".
"I've participated in a lot of workshops to build information architecture," commented Graciela Baroni Selaimen, content manager for the Latin American and Caribbean Region based in Brazil, "but this process was unique." Dafne Plou agreed: "it was truly rooted in consensus where everyone's experience and ideas were considered."
The site also promises to be an excellent tool for policymakers, as it will offer sample language from national ICT policy plans, and a gendered lens for assessing indicators, and ICT issues such as universal access, e-government, e-learning, trade, etc.
The APC WNSP has chosen ActionApps as the site's content management system. Workshop participants were able to participate in developers and trainers tracks of the ActionApps Camp held one week prior to the Gender and ICT Policy Site Development Workshop, and were fully briefed on the range of opportunities that ActionApps offers. "We invited specialists in writing for the web to our workshop so that we could express the Women's Programme's perspective on ICT in more accessible language", says Jenny Radloff, APC Africa Women Coordinator. "Their first question was if the content management system we planned to use would 'permit' such a variety of content as we've planned for the site. They were surprised to hear of a content management system that could be so easily adapted by us, as users rather than technicians, and flexible enough to cover all our content needs," she says.
The site will be launched during the 49th session of the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations in March 2005.

Mario Lopez, Wife Courtney Welcome Son Dominic
Wednesday, September 11th, 2013
Mario Lopez was getting many "Saved by the Bell" teases across the media, referencing the sitcom he starred in during he '80s, as the story emerged of how he rushed to the hospital, arriving just in time for the birth of his second child, a son he and wife Courtney have named Dominic.
The second he finished his hosting duties on The X Factor on Monday, the new dad — who also helped launch EXTRA's 20th season at Universal Studios Hollywood and done his radio show, On with Mario, earlier in the day — was ushered out the door to head to the hospital.
Lopez, 39, had received the call: his wife Courtney was ready to deliver the couple's second child.
Twenty minutes after he arrived, Lopez — who greeted the mom-to-be with a kiss before posing for one last quick picture — suited up and was in the operating room anticipating the big announcement.Keep up with Mario Lopez in the pages of PEOPLE Magazine by subscribing now.
"I don't know [what it's going to be]. I don't want to guess!" Lopez, who documented the experience, says when asked his thoughts on whether it would be a boy or girl.
"I think it's going to be a baby! A beautiful, healthy one that hopefully looks just like Mom."
Shortly after, the video shows doctors cleaning off the couple's new son, Dominic, who was born with black curly hair — and a dimple like Dad! "I did it! It's a boy! I did it! It's a boy!" Lopez cheers. "You did it, honey! Way to do it!"

Three of the original Zork programmers joined with others to found Infocom in 1979. That company adapted the PDP-10 Zork into Zork I-III, a trilogy of games for most popular small computers of the era, including the Apple II, the Commodore 64, the Atari 8-bit family, the TRS-80, CP/M systems and the IBM PC. Zork I was published on 5¼" and 8" floppy disks. Joel Berez and Marc Blank developed a specialized virtual machine to run Zork I, called the Z-machine. The first "Z-machine Interpreter Program" ZIP for a small computer was written by Scott Cutler for the TRS-80. The trilogy was written in ZIL, which stands for "Zork Implementation Language", a language similar to LISP. Personal Software published what would become the first part of the trilogy under the name Zork when it was first released in 1980, but Infocom later handled the distribution of that game and their subsequent games. Part of the reason for splitting Zork into three different games was that, unlike the PDP systems the original ran on, micros did not have enough memory and disk storage to handle the entirety of the original game. In the process, more content was added to Zork to make each game stand on its own.
Zork is set in a sprawling underground labyrinth which occupies a portion of the "Great Underground Empire". The player is a nameless adventurer whose goal is to find the treasures hidden in the caves and return alive with them. The dungeons are stocked with many novel creatures, objects and locations, among them grues, zorkmids, and Flood Control Dam #3 -- all of which are referenced by subsequent Infocom text adventures.
Zork and its relatives are works of interactive fiction. Zork distinguished itself in its genre as an especially rich game, in terms of both the quality of the storytelling and the sophistication of its text parser, which was not limited to simple verb-noun commands ("hit grue"), but some prepositions and conjunctions ("hit the grue with the Elvish sword").
After a six year hiatus, the following games were produced:
The Enchanter trilogy and Wishbringer occupy somewhat unusual positions within the Zork universe. Enchanter was originally developed as Zork IV; Infocom decided to instead release it separately, however, and it became the basis of a new trilogy. (In each trilogy, there is a sense of assumed continuity; that is, the player's character in Zork III is assumed to have experienced the events of Zork I and Zork II. Similarly, events from Enchanter are referenced in Sorcerer and Spellbreaker; but the Enchanter character is not assumed to be the same one from the Zork trilogy. In fact, in Enchanter the player's character encounters the Adventurer from Zork, who helps the player's character solve a puzzle in the game.) Although Wishbringer was never officially linked to the Zork series, the game is generally agreed to be "Zorkian" due to its use of magic and several terms and names from established Zork games.
Activision's 1996 compilation, Classic Text Adventure Masterpieces of Infocom, includes all the text-based Zork games; the Zork and Enchanter trilogies, Wishbringer, Beyond Zork and Zork Zero.
Activision briefly offered free downloads of Zork I as part of the promotion of Zork: Nemesis, and Zork II and Zork III as part of the promotion for Zork Grand Inquisitor, as well as a new adventure: Zork: The Undiscovered Underground. This led many to believe that the games had been released as freeware, even though the included license explicitly prohibited redistribution. Activision's legal department has recently stated that the promotion relating to those games has ended and that it is not legal to distribute the games or make them available for download.
Of six novels published as "Infocom Books" by Avon Books between 1989-1991, two were directly based on Zork: The Zork Chronicles by George Alec Effinger (1990) and The Lost City of Zork by Robin W. Bailey (1991). Two further novels in the same series are based on the same universe: Wishbringer by Craig Shaw Gardner and Enchanter, also by Bailey.
In 2006, an over-the-phone version of Zork entitled Zasterisk entered beta testing. Programmed by Simon Ditner using Asterisk and the Festival Speech Synthesis System, players can call in and play Zork over the phone by speaking voice commands. The results are read back by the automated text-to-voice synthesis system. It is now known as Zoip, a reference to VoIP.
In all of the Zork text adventures, the following commands apply:
> n, s, e, w
The Fortran version of Dungeon was widely available on DEC VAXes, being one of the most popular items distributed by DECUS. It went through multiple modifications both to incorporate more features from the original and to track changes in the MDL version. In the late 1980s, the Fortran version was extensively rewritten for VAX Fortran and became fully compatible with the last MDL release. It had one extra joke: an apparent entrance to the Mill (a reference to DEC's headquarters) that was, in fact, impassable.
It also had a gdt command (game debugging technique, a reference to the DDT debugger) which enabled the player to move any object (including the player) to any room. Use of gdt required answering a random question requiring deep knowledge of the game. The game's response to a wrong answer ("A booming voice says 'Wrong, cretin!' and you notice that you have turned into a pile of dust") appears in many "fortune cookie" databases.
The FORTRAN version was also included in the distribution media for some Data General operating systems. It was used as an acceptance test to verify that the OS had been correctly installed.
