Welcome to Kickstart Korner, where every month we'll take a look at several comics, web comics or graphic novels that are in the throes of their Kickstarter campaigns. You can choose to fund one or fund them all. Whatever you do, you'll take a peek at cool projects like these that are clearly worth a closer looking into.
Who doesn't like the vigilante in comics, the anti-hero, the unstable protagonist? Deadpool, Wolverine, Punisher, Hulk, even Catwoman, they all have their share of redeeming and damning qualities. Riley Reece, the main character from The Fist, is no different. He's a "blue collar batman with an alcohol problem," according to The Fist's writer and co-creator Brandon Bitros, and if you're a corrupt cop, better watch your back.
Set in Philadelphia during WWI, this story takes the reader on a rough ride through the city of brotherly love. Justice in the form of a black-hooded figure is perched high above the city, searching to punish those he finds abusing their power.
The artwork by Fernando Jimenez has touches of DC's Blackhawk comics from the 1940s, Frank Miller from Dark Knight Returns and the dark-contrasted work of Chris Samnee. The pages are dark in tone and setting and its action-packed violence and mayhem lie at the heart of its sinister appeal. Although co-creators Bitros and Jimenez have worked together before, this is their first Kickstarter. The campaign ends October 9.

IndieBam says writer David Hedges and artist Jefferson Costa "perfectly blend steampunk and the supernatural." I could stop there and half of you reading this would still go fund this project. In fact, the successfully-backed first volume of this story had plenty of funding from lovers of all things alt-Victorian sci-fi (170 backers and nearly $4,800).
Volume two picks up where part one left off, with Lord Percival Cawthorne, a British agent with reckless thirst for adventure, his ever faithful manservant Runnymede and the strong-willed Miss Sally. They are hot on the trail of a dangerous mastermind who threatens to unleash Lewis Carroll's most volatile mathematical theories, thus altering reality as they know it forever.
Co-creators Hedges and Costa are award winners in their fields and this book shows it. An added bonus is that their pledge tiers are full of unique rewards including exclusive variant covers and custom made zombie cameo skeleton keys. The campaign ends September 19.

Both of the Chasing Arrows issues #0 and #1 will be 40 pages of comics printed on recycled paper and wrapped and shipped in plant-based adhesive tape and recycled packaging. It makes sense since the story is about a possible trashed-out future earth that has completely flooded. All that's left are floating trash islands where our two main characters, Inara and Onas, eek out their seemingly hopeless existence.
If you love a story that spends any time world building you'll love these books. An entire system of magic based on color is explored and the detailed descriptions and names of all the locations floating around the world both pull the reader in and set the stage for a compelling story.
Writer Thomas Miller-Donelly and illustrator Neal Anderson have created a vivid world of paradox where tragedy and hope live together. The reader will believe in this world and yet at the same time, hope this planet never comes into existence. The last day of the campaign is October 4th.

Mechanaflux is an all-age fantasy comic book series written by Shawn Padraic Murphy and illustrated by Ava Berman. Issue #4 continues the story of Princess Maria of Aria and a boy named Cory, who Maria has recently discovered is her brother separated at birth. Just as they are starting to get along she discovers that not only does she question his character but that she needs him to save the world.
Creator Shawn Padraic Murphy has a knack for telling stories of conflict and paradox. His passion for this type of story bleeds into the action of the images and keeps the reader fully engaged. The excellent Manga-style artwork is uniquely its own and professional artist Ava Berman, who is a graduate from the New York School of Visual Arts, seems to be enjoying herself, breathing her own vividly creative life into the images of this fourth issue. The campaign ends September 23.

NESS- A Monster Comic, Issue 2
If you've never seen ole Nessie in person then you'll want to back this project. Set on the shores of the famous Loch Ness, with a tinge of Lovecraftian horror and a splash of Scottish mythology, the mysteries of the unknown unlock before your very eyes as you turn every page.
Ness tells the story of a young woman named Ceit who visits the Loch with her friends to spread the ashes of her deceased mother. It just happens to be the day after the last protector of the Loch, a druidistic shaman of a sort, is killed by a monster from the deep (Nessie?). Issue two begins with Ceit and her friends narrowly escaping in a boat from a band of baddies who tried to sacrifice them to the monster. Now they float precariously on the very water that houses the monster.
Chris Welsh and his more than accomplished team of writers, illustrators, letterers and colorists bring us a striking story with even more visual artistry that make any amount funded more than worth it. October 2nd is the last day to help fund this campaign.

Creator and writer Ricky Lima has had so much fun with this book and the illustrations show it. Artist Nicolas Londeix has perfectly captured the light-heartedness of the technicolor world of Happily Ever Aftr. This team's efforts show one of the clearest examples of synergism where the story is tons better with the art and the illustrations only come to life because of such an accurate, spot on commentary of on-line dating, but in a fairytale setting. It will leave the reader with a belly ache from laughing so hard.
A kidnapped Princess Emily may be in the tower but she still has cell service. Using a dating app, she recruits suitors to rescue her. Funny, really funny idea!
In keeping with the theme of dating apps, the rewards for backing the campaign, other than the books themselves, are things like love letters written to the backers by the different fictional characters and mini-prints of the fictional dating app profile screens. The campaign ends September 22 and they have already nearly doubled their original goal. That won't keep you from backing though because you're going to want the book a.s.a.p.

A young, intelligent, down-to-earth geology student named Ida discovers an unusual relic of magic while on an expedition with her friends, Gilbert (a mad scientist ahead of his time) and Celeste (a botanist with high standards). Unbeknownst to her, Ida has now become the protector of an ageless and timeless child-like sea spirit named Millyera, who seems to need a bit of protecting. Set in an epic-style Victorian Australia, with a twist of steampunk, Heart of Millyera: Prelude is a 20-page preview book that will have every backer waiting with bated breath for the arrival of the full-length version.
If you visit this Kickstarter page and become a backer you'll be entranced by a story of danger, mystery and beauty in a fantasy world we'd all love to take an adventure in. Perhaps it's so enchanting because writer Jess Cate and artist Jana Hoffman appear to be mysterious, dangerous and beautiful in their own right. This project will be funded on September 22.

Three months ago, Instagram made another attempt to grow the platform even bigger as business profiles began rolling out among selected accounts. At first, I thought that accounts with larger follower counts were more privileged to get a first glimpse of the design and try it out first than those with minimal followers.
However, it wasn't really like that. Users were most likely to be given a chance to switch to a business account due to multiple reasons relating to content promotion, one of which is good social engagement.
What does good social engagement mean?
On Instagram, engagement is characterized by the number of likes and comments that your post receives. Having good social engagement, then, means being able to 'engage' or interact with the people who like and comment on your post. It sounds so simple, right? But actually, there is more to that.
Aside from engagement, Instagram also analyzes your Facebook page activity. If you want to have a business account, you will have to link your profile to a Facebook page that you manage. Not having a Facebook page means the business account is not for you. If you are a legit content marketer or social media market, however, I am pretty sure having a Facebook page set up is not a problem for you.
Instagram for Business Is Designed for Marketers' Advantage
A large portion of Instagram's active users comprises of entrepreneurs and marketers, and I think Instagram saw this as a good reason to create a business account which they could use to easily promote their brands and products.
The design is actually still the same as a a personal account. There is only additional features including:
- Discover People – on iPhone, this button is located on the upper left part of the page. On Android phones, it is also located on the upper part of the page but is next to the Insights icon. (This is also available on personal accounts)
- Insights – this button, as shown on the screenshot below, is located on the upper right part of the profile page, just next to Settings.
- Contact – With the business account, your potential clients, customers and collab partners can now easily connect with you. You will have the option to include a business phone number and an e-mail they can use to reach you.
- Title – One of my favorite added feature is the title. Since your account will be connected to your Facebook page, your title will also be carried on to your Instagram profile. This appears just below your name. The thing about this is that you cannot change or edit your title unless you tweak your Facebook page settings.
The Insights button, as mentioned earlier, is found on the upper right part of a business profile page. Once clicked, it redirects to a page shown on the sample screenshot below:
What is amazing about Instagram is that it automatically analyzes the location, gender and age of your followers. One determining key for you to have the business account is when you have unique followers that come from diverse locations and age groups.
The screenshot below shows that Insights gives you the chance to determine whether or not you are gaining or losing more followers.It also lets you discover which gender and age group your posts attract more.
The Insights page also shows which day your followers are most active and the average time of the day they are on Instagram.
As a marketer with a specific target audience, having these things on the Insight page is definitely very helpful.
Impression is the amount of times your content was shown and seen by people. With the new Insights feature, you are able to see how many times people have seen your post daily and weekly. Besides that, you are also able to compare it with the impressions you had a week prior to it.
Reach is the number of unique user accounts that have seen your content.
Profile Views
This is the number of times your profile has been viewed by people. With the figures shown on the screenshot above, the account achieved additional 5.158 % profile views from last week. Not having a negative figure shows that the account is doing good when it comes to driving visitors.
Website Clicks
This is the total amount of clicks on your website. As a marketer, your goal is not only to get people to view your profile but also to get them to click and visit your website. Your website is where the real thing takes place, hence, you have to always remember that people can easily access it on your profile.
Top Posts
The Insights page also shows the photos that earned a lot of impressions throughout the week. The good thing about this is that, you are able to see and determine what kind of posts attract more people.
Moreover, for every post that you make, you have the option to view individual insights. This will show the post's number of impressions, reach and engagement. You will also have the opportunity to promote your post by paying for it.
I do think that if you are a marketer or if you are simply an individual with a brand that you want to promote, Instagram for Business is definitely an advantage for you. It is very neat and is designed to make marketing so much easier. Moreover, it is now possible for all accounts to switch to a business account when they are linked to Facebook Pages.
With the Insights page, you can easily analyze what kind of posts your followers find interesting. You will also find out what time of the day or which day you should post. This will also help you determine how you should schedule your posts and whether or not you are targeting and reaching the right audience.

Photon, wrong month in source URL, broken thumbnail image
One of the bloggers in our multisite WordPress network reported the following:
I am unable to determine what is causing the images inserted in our WordPress site blogs.princeton.edu/etc to no longer be visible a random amount of time after they've been inserted in a post. The image will be visible in the post for a week or two after insertion, and then the next time the post loads all that's visible is either a file name which is also an active link that opens the image file (Firefox), or a small question mark inside a blue square, inside a small rectangle box (Safari), or a square broken picture image inside a rectangle box. It's also generally a struggle to find an image that will be visible in a post after upload, even though it's visible in the Media Library.
She gave a couple of examples, and I think that I have narrowed down the problem to the month numbers in the image URLs. In the following two posts, the broken images are in the media library, and they show up in the edit screen. However, the images on the live pages are broken.
Both posts were authored in March (03). However, they were both revised in April (04). The original images have /2014/03/ in the URL. The derivative images have /2014/04/ in the URL.
On the live site, when you try to access the images directly with a right-click, you get the following error message:
We cannot complete this request, remote data was invalid
Notice the date in the Photon-generated image URLs
Interestingly, when I manually edit the URLs back to March, the images load as expected.
This is the first time that I have encountered this issue. I am not sure how easily reproducible it is. I suppose editing a post from a previous month, to see if the URLs from the derivative images change to the current month might work.
We are using WordPress 3.8.1 and Jetpack 2.9.2.
- The topic 'Photon, wrong month in source URL, broken thumbnail image' is closed to new replies.

Rhyl start the second phase of the Dafabet Welsh Premier League by hosting Cefn Druids at the Corbett Sports Stadium which kicks off at the traditional Saturday afternoon time of 3pm.
Rhyl start this phase in 9th place, two points clear of the relegation spaces and five points away from the 7th spot and qualification for the Europa League play off match. Cefn Druids are a point behind the Lilywhites in 10th and both sides will know that three points tomorrow will set a marker for the remaining matches.
Over the last few weeks Rhyl Manager Niall McGuinness has been busy in the transfer window adding strength to the squad and this week his attacking options have been boosted by the signing of the pacy Christian Langos from Bangor City and Josh Davies from Porthmadog. We caught up with Niall to get his views on the match.
Recent Matches
When Cefn Druids returned to the Dafabet Welsh Premier League in the 2014/15 season an early August trip to the Corbett Sports Stadium was on the fixture list and on that occasion the man in black attracted the headlines as for the second successive match Rhyl had two players sent off to follow on from the same fate down at Carmarthen Town. John McKenna was shown a straight red card in the first half with the resultant penalty missed. Liam Dawson put the Lilywhites 1-0 up early in the second half and despite many good chances the second wouldn't come. Then with 16 minutes to go Aaron Bowen drew a second yellow card for a late challenge and the Lilywhites were faced with defending the lead with 9 men for the last 15 minutes. Inevitably an equaliser came with Derek Taylor scoring with 8 minutes to go.
With both sides in the bottom six for the second half the two teams clashed again at the Corbett Sports Stadium in April 2015. With Rhyl pushing to secure a European Play Off spot and Cefn Druids fighting relegation it was Rhyl who were able to secure the three points. A 13th minute goal from an unmarked Jack Kenny put the Lilywhites in the lead and a Paul McManus penalty doubled the advantage with Chris Rimmer, then of Cefn Druids, seeing red for a second yellow card. Derek Taylor pulled one back for the Ancients with a free kick in a busy first half. Further controversy happened in the second half with referee Huw Jones sending Ryan Astles off in a case of complete confusion with former manager Greg Strong also being sent to the stands for defending the innocent party. Astles red card was later rescinded.
This season we played Cefn Druids in the second match of the season and the visitors captured all three points. An early Aaron Bowen goal and a sending off for Aaron Simpson set the scene for a disappointing afternoon. Two late goals for Jordan Barrow and Adam Eden sealed the three points.
Recent Form
The Ancients have picked up 4 points from their last six matches, with these coming in their last 2 matches. A surprise 1-0 win at Aberystwyth spoilt the seasiders hopes of a top 6 finish whilst the Druids claimed a point at home to Carmarthen last time out. Prior to that they had lost their previous 4 including the festive matches against TNS, at Gap Connahs Quay and at home against Aberystwyth Town. Over the transfer window the Druids have added to the ranks including the return of previous loanee Ashley Ruane and ex Rhyl midfielder Rakim Newton. However Newton will be missing on Saturday having picked up a red card in the Druids 4-1 defeat at Llanfair United and he will be starting a three match ban.

Welcome back, sorry to say its going to be a long one, instead of the the 8 game review I normally do, I got carried away and we now have 16 to go through now.
So lets start the long one:
FA Cup 4th Qual first up, against non league Billericay. I hate going up against non league teams as they always seem to give me grief, and this time there was no change, holding us to a 1-1 draw, Davis opened up the scoring for us after 16 minutes. They got the equalizer after 41 minutes due to Okoh, and after the the first half the second one didn't have a highlight. So a replay at home it is
FA Cup 4th Qual Replay- Once again both teams lined up the same, except Neal was back after being rested for the first game. And boy was he well rested, smashing one in from close distance to give us the lead on the 53rd minute. But just like previously they equalized after 60 minutes through Will Evans. And with time ticking down we couldn't break through, extra time beckoned, and my players being fitter seemed to do the trick, after subbing 2 of the midfield, they fed Neal wonderfully and he slotted two more to get a hatrick, one on the 103rd minute and the third on the 119th minute to see us through to the first round
Morecambe at home this time, just 3 days after the replay meant none of my players were really fully fit, and a goal by Adam Curry on the 22nd minute was enough to sink us in defeat.
Maidstone away next and we came with desire and Neal once again got a goal to his tally, after 13 minutes beating the goalie at his near post. Then a foul by Tancock awarded Maidstone with a penalty, which was dispatched with ease to make the game finish 1-1, yet another draw but still better then the previous loss.
Kidderminster away, a team I have always not been fond of playing up against. And this was no change with them taking the lead on the 26th minute through Andre Brown, and that is how it stayed.
The FA Cup 1st Round now against league 2 Gateshead, went into the tie remembering the success of last season and hoping we can repeat it, to at least callm our financial storm just a bit. But things started off badly and Brandon Barnes smashed one in for them in just 2 minutes, Moore followed him by doubling their lead on the 40th minute. Davies beat his man to cut the deficit to one on the 42nd minute, but we was unable to take a lead or rescue a draw and we crashed out exactly where the board expected us to.
Tranmere next, a fairly even match I thought and we was lucky to come away with a win, Tancock scoring on the 45+1 minute to give us the only goal of the game to snag us the 3 points we wanted.
Dover next and it only a two word for this one- BORE DRAW
Ebbsfleet away, and they took a early lead on the 19th minute to put themselves ahead, but luckily young Matt Jay took his chance beautifully on the 41st minute to claw it back before half time. And as the second half was coming to a close a half fought draw looked like it was on the cards, but oh no, Tancock slotted one in- shame it was our own goal and loosing us the game on the 80th minute.
Chester at home coming into the Christmas period. And after a slow and boring first half the second came out much better to watch, Whelan slotted one in for Chester on the 53rd minute. Followed 3 minutes later by his team mate Magloire getting sent off, we used this numbers advantage well, Neal scoring on the 73rd minute, Vicars then put one into his own net on the 84th minute. Tom Molyneux slid one in on the 90+3 to add to further insult to their injury.
Braintree away now, and a complete reversal from the previous match, we went behind after 8 minutes thanks to Williams, we then decided to gift them double the lead, Tancock own goal on the 41st minute. Neal tried his best and got us one back on the 60th minute, but Kendall put it out of reach completely on the 89th minute
Altincham at home now and a bore draw again, only highlight was Davis committing a foul and getting yellowed
Gosport in the FA Trophy, can we retain our Trophy??? We walked this match, we rarely looked like was was going to loose and with goals from Davis on the 12th min and Jay on the 75th we walked into the 2 round happily.
Aldershot at home, and again a draw, Neal cracking one in on the 38th minute, Waterfall then knocked one in on the 87th minute to deny us the 3 points.
Plymouth now and Matt Jay scored on the 28th minute to put us 1-0 up, and that was how the game stayed.
And the last game finally of this long update, so thank you if you got this far!!! Woking at their place and to me the result was unimportant, a 2-2 draw after we went 2-0 up through Lathrope and Greenslade. The more important news, rather disturbingly is that NEAL, Mr. Truro himself is injured now, strained knee ligaments means he is going to be out for the next 2 months. My heart is broken.
So we now enter the year of 2019, without our top scorer, sat 15th in the Vanarama National league, and waiting on a home draw against Vanarama North team Gloucester.
Thank you for reading this long one.

Sukoon A Non-Governmental Organization in Pakistan operational to promote human rights through psychosocial support. "http://www.thesukoon.org"
Psychology remains an interesting subject and topic of discussions for all. In practice, however, very few people really know how Psychology can be incorporated into their day to day psychosocial life. Most of us believe that Psychology and its application is fruitful only for those who are mentally retarded or psychotics, which is not at all the actual case. Psychology can be extremely helpful for every common individual if perceived and applied accordingly. Psychological treatment does not necessarily target psychotics or neurotics, rather provides scientific guidance to every normal human being to pass his/her life happily and to cope with psychological stressors. Sukoon, a newly established society is the only NGO in Pakistan which works in all dimensions of the scientific discipline of Psychology. The society is based on a psychopathological and para-psychological approach i.e. Sensory & Ultimate Knowledge On Observing Nature. This approach focuses on prevention and cure of psychological problems by being closer to the nature and getting away from the nurture while utilizing the inner senses instead of the five outer senses. The approach further claims that mind and soul are the same.Sukoon is extremely inspired by the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad Peace be upon him. It also admires Allama Iqbal and intends to spread his thoughts through its activities. Sukoon, on organizational level, visualizes a world where human rights are promoted through SUKOON i.e. Sensorty and Ultimate Knowledge On Observing Nature. It is aimed to provide psychosocial support to those who are mentally disturbed or at risk of mental disturbance as are deprived of human rights. This goal is achieved by taking measures for institutional capacity building and carrying out different projects based on specific human rights' interventions. Sukoon has innovated the idea of Psychological Insurance for the first time and provides membership in Sukoon Club to those who wish to ensure adequate mental health for them. Furthermore, SUKOON Life Healing sessions intend to resolve the basic philosophical questions about life and provide extreme psychosocial relaxation to the participants. The Institutional Capacity Building Program of Sukoon offers training workshops to other organizations and individuals in the areas of Human Rights, Psychosocial Support and NGO management. Sukoon's Psychotherapeutic Clinics offer SUKOON Life Healing, Emotional Healing, Faith Healing, Psychotherapy, Psychological Counseling, Psychometrics, Vocational Guidance, and Short Courses in Applied Psychology. The Centers for Legal Advice provide free of charge legal advice on common day to legal problems and intend to disseminate information on human rights. Sukoon wishes to form an alliance with the community based organizations and village committees to render its voluntary services on village level. The Aviation Support, Beatification Therapies, Para-psychological Exercises, Free Telephonic Counseling, Free short course in Logic & Critical Thinking, Support in conducting scientific researches, developing Rehabilitation Plans and providing Advertisement services are some of the areas through which Sukoon applies Psychology in several sectors of human life. To summarize, Sukoon is a scientific way to prevent and cure psychosocial problems and to achieve the maximum possible adequacy in mental health. Further details can be found at Sukoon's website i.e. "http://www.thesukoon.org"

text: For buyers who are on the fence between buying a new or existing home, multiple factors should be considered, including which property will maintain the most value. When you buy a used home, be sure to research home values going back for five to 10 years. While there are no guarantees of future home prices, prices on existing homes in established neighborhoods are often more stable than those in new communities, says Vince Verni, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Babylon, N.Y. "When you buy a new home, it's essential to research the reputation of your builder and look at the quality of the materials being used because that will have an impact on how well your home value holds up," says Raylene Lewis, a Realtor with Century 21 Beal in College Station, Texas. Typically, new homes represent about 15 percent of the housing market, says Walter Malony, spokesman for the National Association of Realtors in Washington, D.C. Although in 2012, just 7 percent of buyers opted for a new home.

I made a mistake and picked up some bullets before doing a little research. My problem is trying to find the correct COL for Berry's 115gn plated flat point bullet. When no data is available how do you figure the proper depth to seat the bullet?
With the 9mm being a small round and seating depth can have a big impact on pressure where do you start? I have read about doing the drop test where you use a dummy round and see how it fits in the barrel and mag but would like to get other ideas/suggestions. I have IMR 7625, Western 231, or Hodgson HP 38 powder available.
Find a bullet that is similar in weight and type. That coal should work fine. I've done that when ordering several different types of .355 and .40 bullets.
Look for data on the same weight and in a HP bullet. You length should be the same. Make sure you check to make sure it fits in the magazine when you make the first one.
COAL,OAL is bullet and firearm specific, not manual specific. Find the longest OAL that fits, feeds and fires in YOUR pistol. Then start low and work up. It's the only way. After all, if it doesn't fit and fire, there is no need to worry about pressure.
Unless you're loading +P, just set your seating die with a factory round of the same weight and don't worry about it.
Thank for the responses everyone.
Where I am going with this is, for example starting load for powder A fills the casing 50% full while powder B starting load fills it 75% full, wouldn't you have different seating depths (COL) for each powder so you dont over pressure? Or is that what you are getting at when you mentioned loading +P.
Thanks for your help.
It is perfectly safe and acceptable to use data of same weight bullet and similar construction from different manufacturers. An example would be using Hornady 115gr jacketed data with Montana Gold 115gr jacketed bullet. Another would be using Lyman Cast lead 115gr data to load you own cast 115gr bullet.
Your plated bullets can be loaded using jacketed data, just use low to mid-range jacketed data found in your manuals.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- High-frequency trading has been terrorizing the markets for a while now, and there's no reason to think that's going to change anytime soon.There has been no tall stand for it to stop and without much outcry, why would it? Supporters of HFT -- as it's commonly called -- claim that it provides liquidity to the markets. That's a bunch of crap and everyone in the business knows it. Technically, sure, by slamming the bid/ask spreads of stocks down to pennies and jumping ahead of orders, they are providing some sort of liquidity, but not in the sense that actually matters to 95% of all traders and certainly 100% of all investors. For starters, up to 90% of all of the "liquidity" gets cancelled within milliseconds after the order is placed, making them rather artificial to begin with. And their algorithmic mistakes are bountiful. How about the botched IPO by BATS Global Markets ( BATS)? What about the fake tweet regarding an attack on the White House that caused markets to shave off billions in market cap in a matter of seconds? Oh wait, I've got it: How about when the algo's drove down equities more than 10% in a matter of minutes in May of 2010, with some quality names down 15%, 20% or 25%? Even more telling was the complete snapback minutes later, with the S&P 500 closing in the green for the day. I'd love to hear the argument that supports the need and necessity of HFT in today's market. Aside from firms like Knight Trading Group ( KCG) practically blowing up from their own errors, all it does is feed the exchanges a commission and keeps quant firms in business. Across the big board, meaning the vast majority of market participants, it not only serves no purpose, but rather, a negative one. But without anyone to speak out against it, why stop? The exchanges sure as hell don't want it gone, because it represents at least 50% of their volume in any given year, depending on the volatility (less volatility equals less volume and less HFT profit, while more volatility equals high volume and more HFT profit). You know what, the whole thing just seems corrupt to me. Just like how early data releases are somehow "fair" -- which is a whole different story completely.

The mass singing will be taped for showing later on television and at cinemas nationwide.
The taping will start at 1pm tomorrow on Thanon Na Phra Lan Rd outside the Grand Palace and at Sanam Luang, according to government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd.
The event was thought up by national artist and renowned filmmaker and director MC Chatrichalerm Yukol, widely known as Than Mui, Lt Gen Sansern said.
The recording of the mass singing of the Royal Anthem will stand as a testament to the love between the Thai people and their King, he said.
The music will be played by the Siam Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Somtow Sucharitkul, featuring over a hundred instruments and another hundred chorus singers.
Lt Gen Sansern said that those who want to take part in the event are requested to gather at Sanam Luang by 10am for a brief rehearsal. They are also requested to wear black and bring along a candle each.
Maj Gen Jirapat Phumjit, acting deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said that the mass singing event is expected to draw huge crowds, particularly during the three-day holiday period from tomorrow through Monday (Oct 24).
Numerous people from the provinces are expected to travel to Bangkok to express their condolences over the passing of His Majesty the King at the Grand Palace, Maj Gen Jirapat said.
Meanwhile, almost 40,000 soldiers have been deployed in the vicinity of the Grand Palace to assist and ensure the safety of mourners of the late King Bhumibol.
They are from 50 companies of the 1st Division and King's Guard, with another 150 companies taking turns to work in Sanam Luang and outside the Grand Palace, military sources said.
Lt Gen Apirat Kongsompong, the 1st Army commander, added that three of his deputies have been given the responsibilities of handling intelligence matters, public security and services, and traffic management in the area.
Maj Gen Thammanoon Withee, deputy chief of the 1st Army, said a joint peace-keeping command will play a coordinating role in working with the private sector and volunteers to assist people.
He said between 30,000-35,000 people have been visiting to sign books of condolences at the Grand Palace every day.
Soldiers will handle the queues when the public is allowed to pay homage before the body of His Majesty from Oct 28 onwards. The body of His Majesty the King is lying in state in the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall inside the Grand Palace.
The 1st Army has also arranged accommodation at 15 locations for people from other provinces. The public should be confident of their safety as soldiers have been on duty there around the clock.
Metropolitan police, city officials and other soldiers deployed by the National Council for Peace and Order were also on duty there, said Maj Gen Thammanoon.
Thanongsak Pongprasert, deputy governor of the State Railway of Thailand, said the SRT has arranged more free long-haul trains for people in the provinces who plan to come and pay their respects to the late King in Bangkok during the long holiday.
The train services will start at Khon Kaen, Surin and Phitsanulok, and passengers can board the trains at stations along the way, Mr Thanongsak said.
Regarding medical assistance for people, deputy City Clerk Wantanee Watana said the city's Erawan Emergency Medical Centre will work with the Public Health Ministry and their allied medical units to provide first aid support at 11 spots around Sanam Luang.
Many people were found to have fainted at Sanam Luang due to low blood sugar levels, she said.
Ms Wantanee also said she was concerned about food being distributed to mourners because in the heat it would likely go off. Those who want to provide food to the public should contact a government joint operation centre to organise food handouts properly.
Wijarn Simachaya, director-general of the Pollution Control Department, said the agency will work with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and Thammasat University to support efforts to collect and sort rubbish in Sanam Luang and around the Grand Palace.
Lt Gen Sansern added that the weekly prime minister's TV programme on Friday would focus on government work that has perpetuated the King's initiatives, such as those concerning the economy.

#pragma omp parallel num_threads(nThread)
MKL_LONG status;
int myID = omp_get_thread_num ();
printf("Thread's ID %d\n=", myID);
status = DftiComputeForward( my_desc1_handle, &array11[myID*len]); // but the results of the array11 are false and sometimes i get zeros& //loss of FFT synchronisation
//Memory check, output values are not as expected

ST LOUIS, March 19, 2016 – America has abandoned its founding principals. We are miles from the vales of patriotism, integrity, working for your money, positive political environment, moral conduct, leader of the free world, legal immigration, crime, drugs, and so much more .
Patriotism has evaporated. Today, people freely burn the flag and ignore our Constitution. Americans no longer stand tall with pride for our country during the Pledge of Allegiance, and some venues have eliminated the Pledge along with prayer. The most patriotic group our nation has is its armed forces.
Another value, integrity, and its sisters of honesty and sincerity are lost. Our leaders have set the tone of lying to us directly to our faces, so the people happily follow along.
The positive feeling of a hard day of work has been replaced with the desire for free handouts. Welfare is a form of making money without working. During the depression, people actually earned a government check by working on various government projects such as building dams, highways and so much more. Today we have families who for generations live on welfare, with no government oversight or incentive to make changes.
There is no leadership. America, once the leader of the free world, no longer leads anything. Iran and Russia have stepped in to fill the void of leadership in the Middle East, pushing the US out of the way. Around the world, America has been relegated to second or third place, no longer the moral and proud world leader.
Our borders are wide open, with little control. There is no longer a difference between legal and immigration because anyone who wants to come in just walks across the border.
Security is a thing of the past. Not only are our borders open, we don't have the manpower to fight terrorists. Our politicians have disarmed our law enforcement, our FBI and our CIA, and made it impossible to fight terrorists.
Domestically, crime is exploding, and the police are not respected for what they do to protect us. They are afraid to get tough on crime because politicians have set a precedent of blaming police for any problems rather than investigating what actually happened.
Drugs are everywhere in the country, and have been for years. Demand keeps growing, and it is impacting our culture and hurting our children.
While there are no easy answers, there is an easy start: elect a president who can lead, who is honest, who has integrity. Elect a leader who appoints good people to his cabinet, and selects an attorney general focused on solving crimes, not playing politics. Support the Constitution and end the political games.
Is that really so hard to figure out? It seems like America deserves better. And it starts at the top.
However, that's a time and place I am from-Click here for reuse options!

My disappointment in starting in march aside, this thread is not about that. My own dilemma, and question to the rest of you, is will you be reading as much material as you can, watching as many videos as you can, and studying as many guides/faq's as you can after the game has launched for PC?
Do you want to know all the info that PC'ers have found out in the first 6 months of the game, or would you prefer to be completely oblivious to it, and take your first steps into Eorzea completely ignorant of what others have discovered?
This is my dilemma. When I started playing FFXI, I bought it on a whim. I'd never watched game play videos, read any articles, or checked out any forums. So when I first started out, everything was so new to me. I feel like I'll have more fun if my adventures in Eorzea start out the same way. I'll probably join in on the forums a few weeks after launch, but I want to live in the blind for a short while.
How about you?

DBA Barges 'Rock' At Trent
The keen types, led by Actief, were already assembling on Thursday 31st May at the Trent Valley Sailing Club for the annual Trent gathering the coming weekend. By the evening, seven barges had arrived and the crews joined the Thursday night Sailing Members in the club and enjoyed an evening meal prepared by the hard working club stewards Les and Jeanette. By Friday the full complement of 10 wide beam barges plus one narrow beam had arrived for the weekend and the barge visiting and socialising began. In addition to the replica barges, the gathering was treated to the two "real" Dutch Barges Actief and Anya.
Most barges were from local moorings, but Ypie and Liberty had travelled from Thorne and Torksey respectively. A massive Chinese meal and real ale from the bar left the crews admiring the superb views in the evening sunshine across the anicured lawns of the club to the confluence of the rivers Trent and Soar.
On the Saturday, a number of potential wide beam owners arrived by road and visited some of the moored barges whilst the socialising continued on the club lawns with the backdrop of dinghy racing on the river. The weather was kinder to crews this year rather than the torrential rain of last year. This made the traditional evening barbeque all the more enjoyable. A first this year was live entertainment, provided by the local band 'Mainstreet' complete with two female vocalists, that rocked through the evening to the consternation of the Club's officers who were concerned that crews might actually dance to the detriment of their beautiful, all timber, Edwardian Club house.
More observant DBA members will have noticed that, hidden behind the vocalists, the skipper of Mirage was playing percussion. On Sunday morning some of the barges started to disperse. Those that had to drop their wheelhouses for the journey down through Nottingham Canal, with its headroom limited to a maximum 8ft, decided to make the most of the good weather before the forecast rain. In addition to the stewards and members of the TVSC, thanks also to Frank Wood who organised much of the event and was constantly on hand to ensure that the annual weekend Trent Gathering ran smoothly.
Firelight BBQ for DBA Party goers at Kingston
Letter from a would-be barge owner after the August 25-27 DBA 15th anniversary get-together at Kingston-upon- Thames is typical of others on the same theme:
"I would like to thank everyone who showed as round their beautiful boats yesterday. Everyone showed great patience in dealing with our inane questions and I am sure that the reassurance given concerning the subjects of mud, condensation, water-rats, coypus, drunken vandals, spiders and diesel fumes... will have helped Kate move a step closer to barge ownership with me.
"It remains my firm belief that there is more sense of community amongst the boating fraternity than the rather yuppiefied housing estate in which we currently reside and in which a wave and a "good morning" is usually received as an invasion of privacy. "Thank you for making yesterday a special day and a step closer to realising our dream,
Michael and Kate Richardson

PLUS more than 40 visitors including members from as far afield as Cornwall, Gloucestershire and Kent
From the Chair - KINGSTON UPON THAMES GATHERING
It is Bank Holiday Monday and we have just returned from the 15th Anniversary Rally held at Kingston upon Thames this weekend. 19 DBA barges were moored at Barge Walk on the North bank of the Thames just above Kingston bridge. Further on in this issue you will find pictures of the event. My thanks to Ian and Leigh Petchey and Basil Rickard for setting up and running the event, Caroline for doing the administration and Miranda Jaggers for bringing our Honorary Member, the barge, Richmond Venturer from The Thames River Project to act as host boat and focal point. The Thames River Project aims to provide access to the Thames for people with disabilities, young people, older people, and community organisations.
On the Saturday evening all of the barge crews and guests (60 plus - age and numbers!) gathered on the river bank for a communal barbecue – the table decorations soon developed into a competitive sport! On Sunday barges were open to DBA visitors and some 60 members and friends joined the gathering. I now know what the crew did when I went off barge visiting, leaving them to do the guided tours! Questions galore – but a genuine sharing of knowledge between association members – I ended up hoarse but learned a lot from the questions and comments!
Thank you to all barge owners for sharing your barges and to all members for your interest. I know we all benefitted from the gathering both in knowledge and from friendship. One member has written 'It remains my firm belief that there is more sense of community amongst the boating fraternity than the rather yuppiefied housing estate in which we currently reside and in which a wave and a "good morning" is usually received as an invasion of privacy. Thank you all once more for making yesterday a special day and a step closer to realising our dream'.
