I've been wondering if the dynamic linker could simulate access to the global namespace by supplying alternate system-call stubs.

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, Family Shelter, together with the Wheaton Franciscan sisters, will hold a labyrinth walk in the auditorium of the Wheaton Franciscan/Marianjoy Campus, 26W 171 Roosevelt Road, Wheaton, from 4:30 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24. A labyrinth, unlike a maze, has only one path; you cannot get "lost" walking on it. People may walk the labyrinth at their own pace and it can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. Walking a labyrinth can be a peaceful, meditative experience that allows time for reflection and self-care. It is an ideal activity for client groups, and in past years we have had many clients from shelter and other programs participate in the walk. For people like our clients, who are on a "journey" toward a safer, more peaceful life, the labyrinth can be a powerful metaphor and allow them to think about this process in new ways. The public is welcome to join us for this event.
Peaceful, Meditative Experience Created by Labyrinth Walk

New Boy Scouts director takes over Buffalo Trail Council
Published 10:45 am, Tuesday, January 22, 2013
David Chapman was in the second grade when he was invited to attend a Boy Scouts meeting.
He grew up on a farm in northeast Texas and was both a Cub and a Boy Scout. His dad served as a scout master and Chapman volunteered with his younger brother's troop as a teenager.
He was working as a parole officer and volunteering with the troop when someone in the community asked him if he would consider working the scouts. It captured his interest and started a 22-year journey with the organization.
This month, Chapman will continue his next adventure as he takes over as executive director of the Buffalo Trail Council.
He and his wife, Vicki, moved to Midland from Virginia where Chapman served for three years as chief operations officer for the Colonial Virginia Council, which covered 13 counties.
Before that, he was in Fort Worth for eight and a half years as assistant director in field service. He worked for the Scouts in offices in Tulsa and San Angelo before his time in Fort Worth.
Chapman is familiar with West Texas, having backpacked and hiked in the Big Bend and Davis Mountains area. He said nothing beats the sunsets or the big, open skies he's fallen in love with.
"To me, this is the best part of the country," he said.
Chapman began the executive director position in Midland on Jan. 16. Former executive director Lyman Gifford left the council last year to take a position in Alaska.
Vicki Chapman works in the medical practice management field and has relatives in Odessa. She spent time in West Texas growing up and was excited about the move to Midland.
They have two sons, 26-year-old Justin and 19-year-old Hunter, who both were involved in the Boy Scouts growing up.
Chapman said his youngest son, Hunter, worked to be an Eagle Scout -- the highest ranking earned in the Scouts program -- and currently serves as Adventure Crew president at Texas A&M University-Commerce where he is studying political science. Justin also participated in the Boy Scouts.
Knowing the value and leadership development the programs provide for youth, Chapman encouraged his sons to make it to the first class rank. After that, he left it up to them if they wanted to pursue the program further, he said.
"It's more individual then and you have to show initiative and leadership (in the program)," he said.
Only two percent of those enrolled in the Scouting programs make it to the level of Eagle Scout, he added.
Chapman said he's excited to work with West Texans because of the history of many long-term volunteers in the community and their strong support of the programs.
"The greatest resource here is the people," he said. "Their mindset, values and work ethic make it the best place to live."
Chapman hopes to continue to promote and develop programs in the Buffalo Trail Council and expand the council's Buffalo Trail Scout Ranch in Far West Texas, where more than 8,000 children visit each summer.
He knows the value of leadership and character that the programs help build in children and teens and said he looks forward to continuing and expanding the developments of the council.
"Every kid deserves an opportunity to be a Scout," he said.

Since a new rumor about the forthcoming Apple tablet hasn't circulated in at least ten minutes, now is the perfect time to focus on a different Apple product for once - and one that already exists. The iPhone is on the receiving end of a number of curious speculations this weekend, the grand-daddy of which is talk that our trusty handset could soon get a little flashier. And I mean that literally.
From Ars Technica:
We have already seen some evidence that Apple might bump the iPhone's camera up to five megapixels, but there is also evidence to suggest the company may add an LED "flash" to improve its low-light picture-taking abilities.
Flash photography aside, the iPhone may also be getting some help in the muti-tasking department, as Apple is liked tired of customer complaints and competitor jabs regarding the iPhone's "one-trick-pony" reputation. If the speculation proves accurate, the iPhone's improved picture and video quality could take a backseat to the device getting some form of "limited multitasking" capabilities.
[The] buzz around the CES show floor is that Apple plans to add some form of limited multitasking to the next version of the iPhone. The details are naturally non-specific, though Apple has cited battery life and user complexity for not allowing multiple third-party apps to run simultaneously. Apple may include a PA Semi-designed, low-power ARM Cortex A9 processor in the next iPhone, which would negate the extra battery drain and keep performance at acceptable levels.

A new study of Merck & Co.'s Gardasil cervical-cancer vaccine showed it was associated with fainting on the day of inoculation and skin infections two weeks afterward, but no link with more serious health problems was found.
The vaccine protects against four strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, two of which account for about 70% of cervical-cancer cases in women. HPV is also linked to vaginal cancer in women and mouth and throat cancer in both men and women. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates about 15,000 women and 7,000 men are diagnosed with an HPV-related cancer each year in the U.S.
Fainting and skin problems such as redness and swelling at the injection site are known side effects of the vaccine. Doctors are instructed to have patients sit or lie down for 15 minutes after getting the shot.
The Gardasil study—led by the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center in Oakland, Calif.—was required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency to provide an additional look at the vaccine's safety in a large group of people. It was funded by Merck.
Gardasil was first approved in 2006 for girls and women ages 9 to 26 years old before later being approved for use in males. GlaxoSmithKline PLC also sells an HPV vaccine, Cervarix, in the U.S. which was approved for use in females in 2009. Federal guidelines recommend that girls and boys ages 11 to 12 receive the HPV vaccine in a three-dose series before they are sexually active, and it coincides with recommendations on other vaccines given to that age group.
However, immunization rates lag that of other vaccines such as ones that protect against meningitis, partly because of concerns about the vaccine's safety, doctors say. The most recent CDC figures showed that 53% of girls ages 13 to 17 had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine in 2011 but only 35% had completed the three-dose series, which are supposed to be given over six months.

The Rocket is in the building for the Longhorns' basketball game against Baylor.
Roger Clemens threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the UT Alumni baseball game earlier in the day and brought one of his sons to the basketball game before heading back to Houston.
When asked by the Chronicle, Clemens reiterated that he has not made a decision whether he'll pitch this season (presumably for the Astros or Yankees) or retire.
"There's nothing going on," he said.
Wonder if the shot-clock is working at the Ferrell Center in Waco?
For the second straight home game, the shot-clock at the Erwin Center is malfunctioning. Nothing says big-time basketball program like the public address announcer calling out, "30 seconds … 25 seconds … 20 seconds…"
Since the clock went dead Baylor is on a 6-0 run late in the second half.

In 2007 India's GDP crossed the trillion-dollar line; it is now among the Top 20 trading partners for the United States. According to the New York Times, the Harvard economist Kenneth S. Rogoff noted at the International Monetary Forum in Davos, Switzerland that India seems to be in line for economic growth in a time when few countries are. With a newly open economy and a powerful technology industry, India offers attractive global marketing opportunities for tech companies in California.
Signaling this change, technical and financial collaboration opportunities between the United States and India have increased rapidly over the past five years. India, the world's largest democracy, offers an important growth market for American tech companies. Investment, intellectual property, R&D and innovation are starting to flow in both directions: almost every blue chip venture capital partnership including such titans as Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital now has an Indian operation. Equally important, Indian investors such as Baring have begun looking to the US for opportunities. In the program on March 14th, we will examine how these new trends will influence emerging companies in Southern California in 2010 and beyond.

Californians were already set to vote this fall on whether to uphold the statewide plastic bag ban that Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law in 2014. Now, the Secretary of State's office says a related measure has also qualified for the November ballot.
It would divert the proceeds from bag fees paid by consumers under state and local plastic bag bans from grocers to environmental programs.
The measure is backed by the plastic bag industry, which says it opposes bag bans but any money raised by fees should not add to grocers' profits.
Critics say the industry is trying to divide supporters of the statewide plastic bag ban and confuse voters so they reject both ballot measures.

Right To Reject
When we go to cast our vote, we know that almost all the candidates are either corrupt or criminals. But our current voting system forces us to choose any one candidate and waste our vote on someone we know is unfit for the job. We the people's party plan to give the voter an alternate choice - a Reject All button. All voting machines shall have a "reject all" button at the bottom. If you dislike all candidates, you will have an option to use this button. If this button gets majority of votes, the elections to that constituency will be cancelled and fresh elections will be held within a month. The parties and candidates rejected in the cancelled elections will forfeit their right to contest again in the re-elections.

For ex, right now I need to import the apache webmail app Hupa into eclipse, fix, some security defects in various parts of the code and then import my workspace or war up again into various source code scanners..and repeat until it passes tests. I have the hupa jar and the source zip which is structured in a very different directory structure than a WTP Dynamic Web App..for ex there are many sub directories with their own src directories, build, lib etc. The jar btw is only classes, and the source zip only java code...so actually what I need to is import the source contents exactly as is..and then add the jars to classpath from the extracted jar. I can not see a way to specify a linked folder right from the start of creating a project..nor want to link ALL the source and bin directories back to the structure of the WTP as that would take way too long (perhaps I am off base here)... I know there has be a way I am missing ...can some please pass on what I am missing or what is the best to create web projects (so I have all the views and settings)..but point/import to a source directory that has TOTALLY different structures than the WTP Projects? I have already spent several days trying to get this work ..Most of the stuff google turns out on this are simple projects (few java files in one directory/one source etc...) that do not really apply to me...so I am hoping I can get some help for some folks who understand and have done this also for what I would call complex projects! BTW, The best approach I am doing now that works on some apps is simply dump everything into the webcontent folder...but that trick only goes so far when the source and jars dont line up nicely..and you have a lot of them....????

Dolphins Working For The Navy Discover Rare 19th Century Torpedo
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online
The US Navy has recovered an exceptionally rare artifact off the coast of Coronado, California — and if that wasn´t enough, the item in question was actually discovered not by humans, but by trained dolphins.The find was a rare 19th century Howell torpedo, and according to The Huffington Post it is one of only 50 ever manufactured and only one of two still in existence. It was found by dolphins which were reportedly being trained to locate underwater mines and other objects undetectable to technology.
Credit for the discovery was given to dolphins named Ten and Spetz, explained John Johnson of USA Today content partner Newser. The torpedo, which no longer functions due to the large amount of time it spent in the ocean, is currently being cleaned and will soon go on display at the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, he added.
A specialist with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific told Johnson that dolphins "naturally possess the most sophisticated sonar known to man," and the head of the Navy´s marine mammal program added that they had "never found anything like this" before now.
The only previously located Howell torpedo is on display at the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Washington, said Los Angeles Times reporter Tony Perry. The 11-foot-long torpedo was made of brass, spun to 10,000 rpm before launch, traveled at a speed of 25 knots and had a range of 400 yards, he added.
After experimenting with the design for a fly-wheeled torpedo for several years, Lieutenant Commander John A. Howell received authorization from the US Naval Board to build a single torpedo for testing in 1877, John Pentangelo, Curator of the Naval War College Museum, explained back in August 2011.
"As these initial tests utilizing centrifugal pump propulsion were unsuccessful, Howell set out to design an improved model propelled by conventional propellers," Pentangelo said. "In 1884, after receiving a substantial Congressional appropriation to purchase automobile torpedoes, the Navy Board recommended Howell's newer design."
"On August 5, 1885 the Navy conducted the first test of three new Howell torpedoes in Newport Harbor," he added. "Initial testing was unsuccessful (the first two sank) and caused a delay. Once testing resumed in Lake Michigan (the clear water made recovery easier), performance improved and the Howell became the first automobile torpedo issued to the fleet. The Hotchkiss Ordnance Company in Providence manufactured the torpedoes."
As for the marine mammals that made the discovery, Perry reported that they have been trained at the Navy's Point Loma facility since the 1960s. Military officials tested several different species before settling on two — the bottlenose dolphin and the California sea lion. The dolphins were selected largely because they possess both deep and shallow diving capability, excellent eyesight, and a unique and enigmatic biosonar system, he added.
"To train the dolphins, Navy specialists sink objects of various shapes in rocky and sandy undersea areas where visibility is poor. The shapes mimic those of the mines used by US adversaries," the Los Angeles Times writer said. "A dolphin is then ordered to dive and search. If it finds something, it is trained to surface and touch the front of the boat with its snout. If it has found nothing, it touches the back of the boat."

"Our thoughts create our reality — where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go." -Peter McWilliams
Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy continues to learn the art of subtly shifting focus away from his RA, while at the same time recognizing and respecting the continually changing cycle of symptoms and limitations.
I must admit that there have been many times in the past when I have dwelled on the pain that rheumatoid arthritis has bought into my life. Even though I now know the importance of trying to place the mind someplace else than on the pain, I don't regret having done so in the past – because I know firsthand just how hard it is to get past the pain. In order to get to Point B, I had to pass through Point A.
I have heard and read this suggestion for years: try to focus on activities that bring your pleasure and try to not dwell on the pain. My internal response was always the same. You cannot even imagine how much pain I am in. How could I possibly do anything else other than concentrate all of my attention on the pain?
Soon after my diagnosis a few years ago, when I was having an episode of morning stiffness and it was difficult if not impossible to get out of bed, my reaction was always the same: anxiousness, followed by fear, followed by an overwhelming bout of claustrophobia ("I have to get out of this body.") followed by feelings of sadness. And this was only the start of my day!
Now, I often am surprised to wake up and find that I am already slowly beginning to flex my joints (especially my ankles). It's almost as if my body by itself knows what it needs to do in order to work through this period of increased stiffness. Instead of feeling the need to get out of bed immediately, I relax and appreciate the opportunity I have to gradually shift from being asleep to being awake. However long the symptoms last, I busy myself either with a book, music, or podcast.
In the above two examples, the physical symptoms are exactly the same but their emotional impact on myself are completely different.
I spent yesterday morning working in the kitchen. Cooking has always been one of my favorite activities, but by having a different combination of bad joints each day, I have often spent time in the past justifying to myself why I should not spend time in the kitchen. At times this seemed to me to be the easy and right thing to do…but then all I have to remind myself is: favorite activity! Why am I not doing everything possible so that this activity remains a part of my life?
Thanks to some recent discussions on tumeric in the RA Information Library, I was inspired to cook a range of Indian vegetarian dishes. We had bright yellow (cabbage stir fry), orange (sweet potato with ginger and lemon), deep red (beets with cilantro, lime, and Serrano peppers), and golden white (tofu vindaloo). Served with a tall stack of popadoms and a side of mango chutney, I was in such sensory overload that my body seemed to be working in my favor in order to allow this midday feast to take place.
After lunch we left the house for an afternoon excursion. The next four hours were spent going up and down a narrow unpaved road that dipped down through valleys and that hung precariously on the side of a tall mountain cliff. We stopped at various lookout points to take photos, to enjoy the sounds that the blowing wind made through different rock formations, and the enjoy the play of light and shadow on the rolling hills and cragged rocks as the sun moved through the sky. I saw birds I had never seen before, as I drank some warm tea from a thermos and snapped off a square of bitter mint chocolate.
It was a wonderful afternoon, and just like in the morning, I could feel a slight buzz of pain in some of my joints. I was definitely not pushing myself too far, but in the few moments when my mind switched focus off the breathtaking views and back onto my body, I was reminded that yes, I do continue to live with rheumatoid arthritis.
As I got home and started to unwind, I was a little but surprised that my hands went into one of their really bad periods, which usually last between 60-90 minutes. It is very rare that I experience these episodes during the evening – usually they take place during the afternoon. It was almost as if my body had postponed this in order to give me the opportunity to enjoy my new adventures in the morning and in the afternoon.
So now, it was my turn to give a little something back. I closed my eyes and took an hour and a half nap. My body had given me the entire day. Now I was giving my body and my hands the time they needed in order to enter into whatever inflammatory process was necessary at the moment.
And with that little unspoken agreement, I finished a wonderful day.
Stay tuned…for the next adventure of Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy!

BANGOR – A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Stockton Springs woman against the Republic of Cuba because the island nation failed to respond to repeated summonses by the court.
Sherry Sullivan sued earlier this year, after winning a ruling in state court in 2009 that Cuba was guilty of the wrongful death of her father, a pilot who is believed to have been shot down over Cuba in 1963 while on a covert mission.
The judge who ruled in Waldo County Superior Court on Aug. 10, 2009, awarded Sullivan $21 million plus interest, according to federal court records.
Sullivan's filing in U.S. District Court in Bangor sought to enforce the $21 million judgment for the "extrajudicial torture and extrajudicial killing" of Geoffrey Sullivan.
U.S. District Judge George Singal ordered the case dismissed without prejudice — meaning it can be brought forward later — after receiving no response from Cuba to three orders, court records show.
The lawsuit in state court alleged that Geoffrey Sullivan, who was 29 at the time, was captured and later died in a Cuban jail.
The state and federal lawsuits argued that Cuba was liable under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996.
Sullivan's attorney, David Van Dyke, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

Hey Guys
I've just about decided that I'll be getting my laser from China, but I'm having all kinds of fun trying to find out info on getting it imported.
I've tracked down a few people but the quotes are all over the place. My highest quote is darn near double my lowest one. I'm well aware of what you get when you go with the cheapest, but I'm hoping for some guidance from some of you that have imported a laser from China to the USA.

Dallas dishes its fair share of charitable events and glamorous galas, but none other more endearing than the upcoming Bobby Norris Roundup for Autism Fashion Show and Luncheon. Taking place on April 23, The Fairmont Hotel will house many of Dallas' most notable influencers and change-makers as they walk down the runway in couture fashion for a cause. Entitled "A Walk in Paris," the event will mark many fashionable firsts, with designer label Binzario Couture revealing its new formal wear collection for the first time, and the organization showcasing its first-ever runway presentation for the charity.
Produced by esteemed stylist Jeanette Chivvis, the fashion show is slated to unveil 21 never-before-seen formal gowns designed and produced by Binzario Couture. Creating a noticeable shift and expanding its brand beyond bridal couture, we caught up with the label to scoop the latest on the newest collection, channel a little Parisian flair, and to get the ultimate sneak peek on what will traverse the runway at the April 23rd event. Oui!
Binzario Couture founders Andre Yabin and Luis Nazario (pictured below) ditched the idea of a traditional trunk show presentation and unconventionally decided to reveal the new gown collection at the Roundup charity event. "[While] bridal gowns will always be the center of Binzario Couture, we see this as an opportunity to tap into another market and a way to continue to bring couture and fashion to our clientele," Yabin discloses.
Benefiting Autism Treatment Centers of Texas, the event has already ushered in widespread support with tickets anticipating a sell out. In the spirit of charitable giving, Binzario has agreed to raffle two one-of-a-kind couture gala gowns to raise money for the cause, in addition to other initiatives sought to showcase awareness for autism and its effect on the community.
With heavy influencers such as DFW Style Daily Founder Lisa Petty, Belk Personal Shopper and luxury jewelry designer Charmaine Marshall, and Dallas' top lifestyle blogger Cynthia Smoot strutting as models in the fashion show, we snagged some behind the scenes first-looks to rev up excitement for what's in store April 23.

Historical Note
Almshouses trace their history back to monastic times where the terms bedehouse, hospital, maison dieu, almshouse and others described the provision of accommodation for those in need. The first recorded Almshouse was founded by King Athelstan in York in the 10th Century, and the oldest still in existence is thought to be the Hospital of St. Oswald in Worcester that dates from circa 990. By the middle of 1500s, there were about 800 mediaeval hospitals spread across the country but following the dissolution of the monasteries, only a handful remained, and these were re-founded on secular lines, and rebuilt in the new domestic collegiate style.
Of the 1,700 groups of almshouse charities today, over 30% occupy listed buildings and many have celebrated anniversaries of over 400 years. Another feature of this rich heritage is that many almshouses lie in the heart of towns and villages, ensuring that they remain closely integrated in the local community, with the added benefit of ensuring residents are close to shops and services.
Almshouses are typified by the traditional three sided square that provide a sense of safety and security without isolating residents from the outside world.
The National Association of Almshouses (The Almshouse Association)
In 1946, at a meeting held in the Chapter House of Southwark Cathedral, representatives of London's almshouses formed a committee to safeguard the interests of almshouse buildings and the welfare of residents especially in the light of extensive damage done to many almshouses during the war. In 1950, the committee extended its remit, and the National Association of Almshouses was born.

So who is Nadia Albano? Well she is a Stylist, Columnist, Educator, Artist and most importantly a really awesome person. We have been friends with Nadia for a while now and we have been trying to work on a project together that really reflects who she is and what she is all about. Nadia has a one of a kind personality so we really wanted to try and make a one of a kind film for her. Nadia is so fun to be around and we wanted this to come across in her video but we also wanted to show just how much she does. She has so much going on all the time, so we needed to find a way to express that energy. We felt that a great way to do this would be through a technique called Stop.
Stop Motion is a animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. The process takes a lot of time and requires a lot of attention to detail but the creative freedom you get is limitless. For something like this it is so important to have a clear plan, with storyboards and an organized shot list. Since this is such a complicated technique you really have to have a clear vision of where you are going and how you are going to get there. It is a step by step process but you have to make sure you don't loose sight of the big picture or the whole thing won't work.
Once it's complete the style that is created through this approach is really fun and quirky, just like Nadia. The process can be a bit tiring but having Nadia around to crack jokes and keep the mood fun and positive really made this a fun shoot to be a part of. See how it all came together with this really cool behind the scenes film we made on our blog HERE. In the words of our good buddy Nadia sit back relax and enjoy a little Nadittude!

Qubool Hai 21st August written episode: Ahil finds a new dress for him. Sanam tells her that she has bought it for him, to attend Haya's wedding. He likes it. They are informed by Latif that Tanveer is calling them urgently.
Tanveer becomes crazy seeing that the necklace is missing from her locker. Gazala asks how it is possible when the locker remains locked. Tanveer remembers that she has given duplicate keys to Sanam.
Tanveer becomes sure that Sanam has taken the necklace and she says it without any hesitation. Sanam becomes stunned at this accusation. She repeatedly says that she cannot do this, but Tanveer refuses believing her.
Ahil feels bad for Sanam and protests. He tells Tanveer that she should trust Sanam and search for the necklace again. Tanveer fumes. Sanam thanks Ahil for supporting her.
Rehan plays the video recording of the meeting in his laptop. He leaves the place while talking in phone. The clip goes on and Razia sees it. She sees a girl moving behind the sofa, looking exactly like Sanam, but dressed differently.
Razia quickly identifies that it is none other than Seher. She becomes cheered up. She thinks now she can win over Tanveer as she has got a new pawn. Razia plans some game with the twin sisters.
Sanam calls Rehan and asks for an amount of five thousand as a help, to buy some gift for Haya. Rehan becomes happy giving it. He asks Sanam whether she is happy in Haya's wedding. She replies that she is not so happy, as she is missing someone very special.
While Sanam wants to mean Dilshad, Ahil misunderstands her, as he overhears their conversation!

A 17 year old girl walks into the judging room and stands in front of Sara Tetro, Chris Sisarich, 62 Models' head booker Andrea Plowright and a producer from TV3. She's shaking. Tetro greets her with a big smile and attempts to put her at ease. "S-s-sorry," the girl stutters, "I'm really nervous." "Hey, you have nothing to worry about," says Tetro, "We're just going to ask you a couple of questions to get to know you, and there are no wrong answers." The girl nods, and it begins. "Where are you from? How old are you? What school do you go to? Who was your favourite girl in the last series?" With each question answered, the girl comes out of her shell a little more. After the fourth, despite no consultation between the judges (they have a secret signal), the TV3 producer speaks up. "We won't be asking you back for the next round, but you should feel proud of yourself for coming – it's a very brave thing to have done." She's right, it takes guts to turn up to a reality TV show audition in the hopes of becoming New Zealand's Next Top Model. After being there four hours, I didn't envy the position of the contestants or the judges.
There were the young, short girls, who, despite knowing they wouldn't make it if they were under 170 centimetres, still burst into tears when they realised their dreams were shattered. Surely their mothers could have saved them the pain and measured them at home. Then there were the over-age girls, who, despite knowing they wouldn't be allowed to enter if they were post-25, still decided to turn up. One 27 year old stayed around all day chatting to the other girls about her love of ice skating and spirographs. A couple of musicians appeared throughout the day, in the hopes of being caught on camera singing their original compositions. New Zealand Idol's that way, honeys.
There were friends competing with friends, schoolmates there for a laugh and cringing girls who'd been forced by their parents. Siblings, boyfriends, mums and dads waited in the corridor outside.
Of the hundreds of girls the judges had seen that day, only five had been shortlisted. "We're looking for a model who will work," said Tetro. "Not just a good looking girl who will book one job and that's it. We're looking for the total package. The looks and the personality."
TV3 Network Executive Andrew Szusterman agreed. "Any girl who wins New Zealand's Next Top Model and goes on to have a great career gives credibility to the show. But we're not fooling ourselves – we're making a TV show. Big personalities help. But you'd be surprised at how little we have to do to instigate drama. It's a pressure cooker environment. You get a whole bunch of young girls and stick them in a house with no cellphones, no Facebook and no communication to the outside world – something's bound to happen."
Oh yes it is.
These three girls were my picks from the auditions:
If you're a 16-25 year old young lady and would like to be involved, here are the rest of the audition dates (click the links for details):
Manukau, today – 1pm-6pm.
Christchurch, Monday 7 June.
Dunedin, Tuesday 8 June.
Queenstown, Wednesday 9 June.
Nelson, Thursday 10 June.
Wellington, Friday 11 June.
Napier, Saturday 12 June.
Tauranga, Sunday 13 June.
And, ladies, for your sakes, if you're not at least 170cm, model-sized and between the ages of 16 and 25, don't put yourself through the humiliation.

AbstractWhen a three-phase induction generator (IG) supplies unbalanced loads, its terminal voltages and line currents are also unbalanced, which may cause the IG to overheat and need to be derated. A single-phase loaded self-excited induction generator (SEIG) works under most unfavorable load unbalance conditions. This paper proposes a three-capacitor circuit scheme and a method to find the values of the self-excitation capacitors that allow the SEIG to be balanced. The SEIG is modeled by a two-port network equivalent circuit that resolves the SEIG into its positive- and negative-sequence circuits associated with the self-excitation capacitors and the load. The network can then be analyzed by common AC circuit analysis techniques. Successful results for balancing the SEIG supplying a single-phase load have been achieved by properly choosing the values of the excitation capacitors. The proposed method has also been validated by experiments on a 0.37 kW SEIG. View Full-Text

BUENOS AIRES (Mar. 26)
Louis Fox of Baltimore, president of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, told Argentine Jewish officials yesterday that he and other CJFWF members visiting Latin American Jewish communities had come "not to tell how to do things but to exchange views." Members of the CJFWF delegation, reportedly comprising the first mission representing American Jewish communities to their counterparts in Latin America, have finished a first week of talks with leaders of Brazilian Jewry and said the results were excellent. The consultations were held with leaders of the Federation of Jewish Societies and the Sephardic Community in Rio de Janeiro and in Sao Paulo with those of the national Confederacao de Brazil and the Federation of Jewish Societies. The subjects covered Jewish community organization, fund raising, social planning, Jewish education, health and welfare services, leadership development and professional staffing for such Jewish communal services. The mission, which is being carried out at the invitation of the host communities, will visit Montevideo after the Buenos Aires visit, before returning to the United States on March 31.
Other members of the delegation are Philip Bernstein, CJFWF executive vice-president, Levy M. Becker of Montreal, Herman Katz of Columbus, O., Hyman Safran of Detroit, Bernard Schaenen of Dallas, Sanford Treguboff of San Francisco and Theodore Comet of New York, CJFWF consultant on overseas services. In Buenos Aires, the mission members were guests of the Argentine Federation of Jewish Communities. They were received in the Buenos Aires Kehilla by Dr. Tobias Kamenszain, its president, who stressed in his greetings the importance of better mutual understanding between the American and Latin American Jewish communities. Mr. Fox also said that mission members were "learning also as much as we are giving, especially in Jewish educational matters." He added that the delegation members also found of special interest the fact that the Kehilla organization was on "a wholly volunteer basis." He called Argentine Jewry "a more sophisticated community from which we hope to learn much." He added that the delegation had been impressed by the "strength" of the Jewish press.
Mr. Bernstein described the basic purposes of the CJFWF, which represents some 200 local Jewish federations and welfare funds in the U.S. He said the CJFWF sought to solve the problems of the Jewish community and to strengthen Judaism and "therefore we seek unity in our institutional life" as the "instruments of our communities." Reporting on the visits to Rio and Sao Paulo, Mr. Fox said that "there is an especially great desire for our cooperation in the training of professional staffs for a number of community services."

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2010
The Atlantic Forest contains a wealth of edible and medicinal plants used daily by the Guaraní indigenous people. Many plants also provide useful resources and construction materials.
Many of the foods we eat and products which we use everyday originate from rainforests. They go far beyond bananas, coffee, nuts and spices, to include items of such importance as medicines. Below are just a few examples of the products the Atlantic Rainforest has to offer.
Arachis hypogaea
It has yellow flowers, typical in shape to the pea family. Its fruit develops into a legume which forces its way underground to mature.
Originating from South America, peanuts are now cultivated and eaten across the world.
Ananas comosus
Pineapples are one the world's most popular fruits. They are native to Paraguay and southern Brazil. The Guaraní name for pineapple gives the derivation of the word 'ananas'.

Canna indica
Indian Shot
Canna indica has large, attractive foliage. It has glossy, coarse-grained leaves and may grow up to six feet in height. Canna indica's rhizomes can be used as a spice and its fruit is edible. It is also used as an ornamental and in thatching houses. The Indian Shot is so named after its hard, round seeds.

Carica quercifolia
Oak Leaved Papaya
The fruit of the Oak Leaved Papaya is eaten raw, just as the fruit of the common Papaya. It also has a number of quoted medical uses.

Cecropia peltata
Trumpet Tree
The Trumpet Tree is a fast-growing species which can grow more than 20m tall. Its light-demanding nature means that it invades rapidly any gaps in the forest canopy.
A tea made from Trumpet Tree leaves is widely used medicinally. Just a few of the aliments it is used to treat are liver disease, Parkinson's disease and snake bites.

Chenopodium ambrosioides
Mexican Tea/Wormseed
Chenopodium ambrosioides is a herb with oval leaves and small, green flowers. Its seeds are green when fresh and black when dry. It has a strong odour and is used to flavour dishes. The plant has many medicinal uses, including treating worm infections in humans.
Ipomoea batatas
Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are native to tropical South America. The vegetable is the plant's tuberous roots. Sweet potatoes, perennial vines belonging to the family Convolvulaceae, are only distantly related to potatoes. They have heart-shaped leaves and pink and white flowers which open early in the morning and close in the evening.

Ilex paraguariensis
Yerba Mate
Yerba Mate is famous as a traditional drink in South America. Its leaves are dried and then placed in hot water, creating a grassy flavour which has been likened to some varieties of green tea. It is also toasted and sweetened and then sold as a caffeine-rich, uncarbonated soft drink. In Argentina it is traditionally drunk from a hollow gourd, which is passed around with a metal filter-straw called a bombilla.
The plant, a member of the holly family, is a shrub or small tree (up to 15m tall) which is found growing wild along streams. Its flowers are small and of a greenish-white appearance and has small red drupes. It is used in herbal medicine as a stimulant, antidepressant and a diuretic. It has been used by Guaraní people for medicinal uses for centuries. The IUCN Red List records Ilex paraguariensis as near threatened.

Passiflora edulis
Purple Passion Fruit
This tree produces passion fruits. These are nearly round, with dark purple skins and a sweet taste. The plant, which is a climbing vine, produces beautiful white flowers with purple-pink crowns.
Philodendron bipinnatifidum
Guembé/Swiss Cheese Plant
This is an important plant to the Guaraní indigenous people. They eat its edible banana-like fruits, use the roots to make rope and its fibre for baskets. The Guaraní also use Guembé medicinally. Its root sap is used as a coagulant on wounds, burns and snake bites and it is also used for treating toothache and conjunctivitis. When the plant comes into flower, the guaraní use it as a sign that there will be no more frosts so it is time to plant their crops.
It is also often called the Swiss Cheese Plant because of the holes in its glossy, dark green leaves. Leaves have prominent veins and are deeply divided and lobed. It is a climber.

Solanum lycopersicum
Another common food to originate from the forests of South America is the tomato. Tomato plants are cultivated worldwide.
Talinum paniculatum
Talinum paniculatum is commonly named 'Jewels-of-Opar' due to its tiny, jewel-like fruits. It is a succulent shrub. It has fleshy roots which can be eaten as a vegetable.

Zea mays
Sweet Corn/Maize
Sweet Corn, or Maize, is a type of grass which was historically domesticated by South American indigenous peoples. It is now cultivated and eaten worldwide and is the most widely grown crop in the Americas. It has even found use as a biofuel, or feedstock for the production of biofuels such as ethanol.

I am using Fiat Palio Stile 1.3L Multijet car.
From a few days I am finding that
1. On Startup RPM (Ideal RPM 800) the engine oil pressure indicator is glowing. But when I rev-up to 1200 RPM for 3 Sec it Indicator automatically gone.
2. If I start can after a stop of 3 hours aproximately then the oil pressure indicator goes automatically after 5 sec.
3. When the engine is in running condition and I switch off it (after a 10 mins ride) and then restart it then again I can see the oil pressure indicator glowing. In hot engine it dont go off automatically. To get it off I need to rise the RPM to 1200 RPM for 3-4 sec.
4. When I ride the car to any speed any RPM the engine oil indicator never come up again. It only come on start of engine,
5. I had changed the engine oil. But it didnt work.
Kindly suggest with where can be the problem
1. In strainer?
2. Oil Pump Malfunction?
3. Pressure Switch?

The motivation behind Aaron Schaffhausen's alleged killing of his three young daughters will likely not come to light during a preliminary hearing Tuesday, July 24, in St. Croix County Circuit Court. But research can help shed light on why some fathers commit such horrific acts.
Schaffhausen, 34, of Minot, N.D., stands accused of killing Amara, 11, Sophie, 8, and Cecilia, 5, during a visit to their River Falls home July 10. After the killings, a criminal complaint states, he called his ex-wife and said, "You can come home now because I killed the kids."
One motive behind some cases of filicide — the act of a parent killing a child — is spousal revenge.
People motivated by spousal revenge want to take away the thing that is most precious to the spouse. The children are used as "an object in this war that they see with this other person," said Dr. Susan Hatters-Friedman, an associate professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland.
"It would be counterintuitive to the vast majority of the population that if you're mad at your ex-wife, you would kill your kids to get back at her," Hatters-Friedman said. "In order for those thoughts to cross (their) mind, often it would be someone with a personality disorder."
Dr. David Adams, a Boston psychologist who directs a national project to train police and prosecutors on assessing domestic violence dangers, said narcissistic personality disorder is common in men who commit filicide motivated by spousal revenge.
Those with the disorder can be grandiose in their thinking, have a limited capacity for empathy, see themselves as victims, and take many things as signs of disloyalty, said Adams, who also founded Emerge, a Boston counseling center for men who abuse their partners.
"When they suffer what's called a narcissistic injury — when their ego is wounded, so to speak — then they strike out with narcissistic rage, like they want to destroy the person who hurt them," Adams said.
"Some fathers want to leave the mothers feeling guilt and remorse for the rest of their lives," he said.
Many people with narcissistic personality disorder function normally, said Adams, adding it can not be used as what's often referred to as an "insanity defense."
Spousal revenge, however, is the least common motive for filicide, according to Hatters-Friedman, a co-author of the 2009 article "Fathers Who Kill Their Children: An Analysis of the Literature."
More common motives are:
— Fatal maltreatment, when a child dies unintentionally from abuse or neglect.
— Altruistic, when a parent thinks the killing is in the child's best interest.
— Acutely psychotic, when a parent kills a child with no rational motive because of psychosis, such as hallucinations.
— Unwanted child, when the child is regarded as a hindrance.
Hatters-Friedman said those who commit filicide with acutely psychotic or altruistic motives might be legally insane. But that's usually not the case in filicide motivated by fatal abuse, an unwanted child or spousal revenge, she said.
River Falls police have not released a motive behind the killing of the three Schaffhausen girls, whose throats were cut. The youngest also was strangled, according to the criminal complaint.
River Falls police have said there were two previous incidents involving Schaffhausen — a domestic incident in August of 2009 and a harassment incident in March of 2012 — but have not released the reports of the incidents.
Police said the most recent incident involved Schaffhausen threatening to harm at least one of the children. A report from the Minot police department, which handled the incident, states Jessica Schaffhausen reported that her ex-husband threatened to kill her.
"When there's prior threats of homicide, the odds (of a homicide) go way up," said psychologist Adams. "When there's prior threats of killing the children, the odds go way up."
For his book "Why Do They Kill? Men Who Murder Their Intimate Partners," Adams interviewed several men who killed their partners, and quite a few made statements like, "The more I said it … the more real it became that I could do it," he said.
Adams said that in cases of fathers killing their children there is almost always a domestic violence link.
According to Hatters-Friedman's 2009 article, which was co-authored by Drs. Sara West and Phillip Resnick and appeared in the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, fathers who kill their children are in their mid-30s on average.
Their method of killing the child often involves violence, the article states. Studies have shown about a quarter of fathers were intoxicated at the time and 70 percent had substance abuse problems.
Fathers who killed their children tended to be unemployed or in low-paying jobs, according to the article. Two studies showed half the fathers suffered from depression.
Hatters-Friedman said there is limited research on filicide — especially filicide motivated by spousal revenge. She said there are currently national studies on filicide under way in England, Austria, and New Zealand.
It's important to study the subject to understand the warning signs, Hatters-Friedman said. Those parents experiencing serious drinking or depression issues should get help.
"If we know that if someone has anger issues or is developing a serious depression or serious drinking problem, we want to get that person help from the mental health system — so they … cope with things better and it doesn't lead to tragedy for them or their family," she said.

What are the options when there are concerns about transporting a resistant teen to a program that could help them? Perhaps you've found a treatment program to provide the help your troubled teen desperately needs, but your teen refuses to go and threatens to run away if you try to force them. Or perhaps you have fears your teen may try to physically harm themselves or someone else if you transport them to the program, especially if it's far away. In these situations hiring a teen transport or escort service provides a possible solution.

What is a Teen Transport Service?

Emotions often run high in arranging for a teen to leave home to go into a treatment program. Teen transport services are designed to help by providing safe transportation and a therapeutic transition to programs such as wilderness therapy, residential treatment centers (RTC) or residential drug treatment.

The staff who work for these services anticipate resistance from the teens they transport, so they are trained to look for signs of anxiety or attempts to run and have a plan for how to respond. In most cases two agents or interventionists pick your teen up, catching them by surprise if needed, and take them to the program. The goals are to ensure safety during the transport and to educate and support the teen emotionally to make the transition from home to being in a treatment program.

What Happens When a Teen is Transported?

Escort services vary in their specific approaches and procedures, but most share a similar overall strategy that takes place during five primary steps:

Initial contact. You as parents develop a plan with the staff of the transport service that takes into account where your teen is going, concerns about getting them there and any special medical or emotional needs.

Initial team arrival. You meet the team at the front door or outside the house to provide information about your teen's current status, give the team items needed for your teen's trip and describe the layout of the home, including potential escape routes.

Intervention. This is usually the most difficult time for both teens and parents. You go into your teen's room, wake them up if needed, introduce the team by name and provide a simple explanation that they are here to make sure your teen gets to the program safely. You then leave the room to reduce the opportunities for your teen to be verbally abusive or attempt to manipulate you and let the team take over. The transport team will firmly establish they are in charge and escort your teen to the transport vehicle.

Transportation. The team sets boundaries for your teen and explains what behavior is acceptable and what is not. The team may be driving to the program or taking your teen to the airport, where one or both of the team members will accompany your teen on the plane. At this point, your teen will need to be calm and cooperative enough to fly. If not, the rest of the trip will need to be continued in the transport vehicle.

Transition to the treatment program. As soon as your teen is in the vehicle, the staff starts preparing them for the treatment program that they will soon be entering by trying to decrease their anxiety, answering questions, providing information about what to expect and encouraging your teen to be open to giving the program a chance. The team stays with your teen until they are physically transitioned into the treatment program

Does the Transport Team Come in the Middle of the Night?

Sometimes they do and this is the image most parents have of teen escort services, but it is not the only option. In some cases taking a teen by surprise and getting them moving while too groggy to resist makes sense, but a good company will strategize with you to develop an intervention that happens where and when it will be in the best interest of your teen.

Are Physical Restraints Used to Transport Teens?

These services have somewhat of a reputation for handling teens aggressively, but this appears to be the exception rather than the rule. Initially, these companies were set up to handle only potentially combative or difficult teens, but now these services have expanded to be more supportive of both teens and parents. This shift in philosophy has also changed how most companies facilitate the transition.

Interventionists or agents are trained to treat teens with respect, to verbally de-escalate aggressive and resistant behavior and to keep your teen safe through verbal means, resorting to physical restraint only when absolutely necessary. Most agents do carry plastic restraints or handcuffs to use if needed. No legitimate company uses pepper spray or other aggressive methods on teens.

When is Using a Teen Transportation Service Appropriate?

The decision to use transport services to get a teen into a treatment program has to be made carefully by a parent, based on knowing your teen and learning about the services available.

There are no firm guidelines for when to use or not use this service, but in most cases, this type of intervention is best suited for teens who are mean, aggressive, defiant, manipulative, angry or hostile. Other candidates for being escorted are teens who are abusing substances, or have a history of illegal behavior or running away. For teens who are depressed, cutting or have an eating or mood disorder, parents are advised to be careful in making this choice and to only consider using a service that is focused on transporting teens in a positive manner, as it could do more harm than good in these cases.

Hiring a therapeutic teen transport service is often a last resort but it doesn't need to be a negative experience and many times may be the only way to get a troubled teen the help they desperately need. This option is most often used for potentially volatile teens, but should also be considered for teens in need of extra support or when there is uncertainty about how a teen may react.

February 2013 - Carnival Glory to Caribbean - Western
Loved the cruise, the Carnival Glory had excellent food, loved Guy's Burgers. The dinner staff was awesome and we worked them very hard. Perhaps a little better teen program would be good. The nightly shows were horrible. I've been on 6 cruises, I don't care about the show that much, but when I want something to do at night it is nice to have a good show to watch. I've experienced Vegas type shows on every other cruise, these were horrible. Everything else was great.

Prather, whose five million-selling Notes to Myself helped invent self-help, does it again with a completely revolutionary program based on the principal of "letting go." In The Little Book of Letting Go, Prather offers a simple, three-step process for shedding our prejudices, preconceptions, and pre-judgments, and facing each moment with freshness and excitement. In this accessible, friendly book he explains why it is essential that readers learn to let go. He then takes readers on a 30-day plan of cleansing the mind, releasing the spirit and lifting the soul in chapters that include: Letting Go of Mental Pollutants, Letting Go of Emotional Fixation, Letting Go of Misery, Letting Go of Prediction and Control, Letting Go of Conflict Addiction, among others.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Just what I needed"
Although I haven't put many of the release practices into action yet I already have caught glimpses of peace and have recognized that I have felt it before if only briefly. I'd like to thank the authors for their insights and their willingness to share with both myself and the collective.
"I wish it didn't use religion as a solution."
Pretty good to make you see and understand. But the pray/God thing ruined the book for me.
"Buy Something Else"
Filled with the usual vague commentary given by ministers who write without publicizing they are Christians and then fill their books with scripture. So annoying.
"AWESOME!!! Needed this so much! This will help you"
This was amazing. I learned so much about letting go that I am confident in myself and above all God's power to catch me when I do let go!!!!!
"This is wonderful"
I plan to buy the paper copy too because there are things I would like to do that I think would be easier with the paperback. I really enjoyed listening to this and plan to listen again. I bought three copies of the book so I can gift it.

Two subjects stole about $1,000 in cigarettes and cigars from Fred's, 1125 Morningside Drive, according to a Conway Police Department incident report.
The report dated for 1:10 a.m. Sunday states two subjects, described as black males, one with what appeared to be a pillowcase over his face, and another with what appeared to be a fuzzy pink scarf over his face, gained entry to the business by throwing a rock through the front glass doors.
Surveillance footage from the store shows the subjects filling bags they brought with them with 16 cartons of Pall Mall and Newport cigarettes along with an unknown quantity of loose packs of cigarettes and cigars.
One subject was wearing a camouflage jacket, and the other had on a black jacket, according to the report.

The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously today to send 10,000 troops and more than 700 civilian police to southern Sudan for an initial period of six months to support the peace agreement between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), which ended more than two decades of civil strife.
The peacekeepers would form the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), which, as part of a considerable mandate, would liaise and coordinate with the African Mission in Sudan (AMIS) "with a view towards expeditiously reinforcing the effort to foster peace in Darfur," said the United States-sponsored resolution.
Other parts of the mandate include monitoring and verifying the ceasefire agreement, helping to set up a disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme for ex-combatants, and promoting national reconciliation and human rights.
It requested Secretary-General Kofi Annan to report to the Council within 30 days on ways in which UNMIS could reinforce the peace effort in the western region of Darfur through appropriate assistance to AMIS, including logistical support and technical assistance.
"Let us be clear: the people of Sudan, the donor community and the United Nations face extraordinary challenges in implementing the peace agreement. These must be addressed quickly and with determination. Serious political hurdles still confront the peace process and we must have the full cooperation of the parties to overcome them," Mr. Annan said in a message read to the Council by UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Marie Guéhenno.
He noted that the UN would face unprecedented logistical obstacles in setting up the operation "in a country famous for its extreme climate and prohibitive terrain" and that an appeal for $560 million for relief and recovery operations in southern Sudan had brought in only 10 per cent of that amount.
The resolution stressed that no military action could solve the problems in Darfur and it called on the Sudanese Government and the rebel groups, especially the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/M) to resume peace talks rapidly and without preconditions in Abuja, Nigeria.
It also called on the UN Joint Assessment Mission, the World Bank and unilateral and multilateral donors to provide an assistance package for the reconstruction and economic development of Sudan, including official development assistance and trade access, and it welcomed a Norwegian initiative to convene an international donors' conference for the country.
The resolution noted that all the UN regulations for strict and appropriate peacekeeper conduct had to be observed.

Repeatedly Test Browser Games: General Knowledge About Games
Browser games always strive to make players enjoy the gaming fun more conveniently. Many office workers and casual players prefer browser games simply because there's no need to download. However, many game producers carry out repeated tests for their browser games before the games' official operation. This process sometimes even lasts half a year, which makes players lose patience and give up finally. Maybe, producers just wish repeated tests to help attract more players, but never think that players would say goodbye to them at last.
Generally speaking, in the early days of game industry, only three stages of test, namely, alpha test, closed beta test and open beta test, were required before the game's official operation.
Alpha test is the very first test stage and focuses on technology, which is usually conducted prior to the completion of game development and joined by the game company staff or a small amount of players.
During closed beta test, the game company usually invites a relatively large number of players to enjoy the game by giving them beta keys, and have players help dig out bugs existing in the game.
In open beta test, the game is basically finalized. Only a very few unexpected bugs come out at this stage. And the game's official operation is subject to upcoming updates.
But now, many browser games are undergoing more than three stages of test. More alpha tests and closed beta tests are being added. Sometimes, the closed beta test can reach up to 4 times such as Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online. And the test procedure gradually becomes as follows: 1st alpha test – 2nd alpha test - 1st closed beta test – 2nd closed beta test – 3rd closed beta… - open beta test.
When finding some game interesting, players may then have a try and feel good. But before they achieve the real gaming fun, a new stage of game test starts and clears up all players' data, which surely makes players unpleasant.
No doubt that tests can reduce the number of bugs and help increase the game quality. But excessively frequent tests are also a great challenge for players' patience. Some games even have no sign of official operation after more than six months of tests, and are finally forgotten by players. So, how many tests prior to open beta test do you think should be conducted? And how long do you think should these tests last?
Below are some browser games whose official operation has finally started after numerous tests or is still on the way.
iTGC Online is based on the wildly popular Nexon massively multiplayer online game, MapleStory. It is also Nexon Americas first browser-based game and requires no download to play. iTCG Online players will be able to choose one of the four MapleStory classes currently available as their main character. The classes include Warrior, Magician, Bowman and Thief.
