How the Sub-Sectors and Systems work
The setting is based in a region of space known as the Australis Ultima Sector, a frontier sector within the southern boundaries of the Ultima Segementum bordering the Eastern Fringe. The Sector is split into a number of Sub-Sectors with a small description of each, representing different stages of expansion during the Great Crusade, for example the Helix Cluster was only just being explored at the onset of the Heresy and so is largely feral, full of Orks and other Xenos forces along with the occasional human settlement, meanwhile Hawcinus Sub-Sector is further Coreward and so represents well established Imperial Systems with stable worlds.
Within each Sub-Sector there will be Systems made up of planets and other major locations. Like the Sub-Sector within the Sector map, each Sub-Sector can be made up of a multitude of Systems. These Systems can be used for a variety of purposes, the first being the target of the ongoing Global Heresy; every three months a single System will be selected and all players around the world are able to submit their Battle and Skirmish Reports against the planets within that System, at the end of the three months one faction (Loyalist or Traitor) will control the System and will vote on where to invade next. Another option is for your local group or club to create a System in their preferred Sub-Sector and lodge the reports played within that group/club under the planets in that System, giving you a more localised game setting with your games have greater impact. These systems will become your Local System which is reserved for your groups use.
Whatever method is decided upon for the use of the Systems, each planet or other major location within the Systems will be contested locations with battles being fought over it. Each location on the System map will have a summary of its ownership in the mouse hover text box whilst clicking on the planet itself will take you to another screen listing all of the battles which have taken place so far with an Imperial date format and summaries of the forces involved and the results of the battle.
For more information on how the Battles and Campaigns impact the ownership of planets, please read this article.

TheatreVision - "How to Train Your Dragaon" by Dreamworks
Celebrities and Professional Athletes Support the Cause
Retinitis Pigmentosa International (RPI)—a non-profit organization serving the visually impaired for 40 years—presents the TheatreVision Premiere of DreamWorks' Oscar-nominated feature film "How To Train Your Dragon" for 200 young blind Olympians. TheatreVision's audio description technique was first conceived in 1990 by RPI founder Helen Harris, a blind woman who was inspired to change the face of motion pictures so that visually impaired viewers could hear the on-screen action described by top talent and directors. William Atherton ("Die Hard," "Ghostbusters") lends his voice for the TheatreVision version of this film. The children will be treated to a Subway sponsored meal upon arriving at the Agrama Harmony Gold Preview House Theater, the venue which makes this event possible each year due to a gracious donation by Frank Agrama. The TheatreVision presentation is the crowning event for the Blind Olympics, the premier sporting event for athletes from across the Western United States who are blind and visually impaired. Said Mrs. Harris, "RPI has made a real difference. Within just the past several years alone, great strides have been made in retinal transplantation. What was impossible to even imagine five years ago will almost certainly become a reality within the next decade. New technologies and medical techniques have brought us to the threshold of hope—to the day when Retinitis Pigmentosa or Macular Degeneration will no longer carry with it a lifetime of darkness."
Celebrities and VIPs slated for attendance include legendary LA Dodgers first baseman Wes Parker (A six-time Gold Glove winner 1964-1972, Parker may go down in Dodger history as one of the best fielding first basemen ever. During his tenure with the team, he helped lead the Dodgers to both the 1965 and 1966 World Series.); '98 Gold Medal Olympic skater Tara Lipinski (the youngest individual gold medalist in the history of the Olympic Winter Games); actor William Atherton (A veteran of stage, film and TV, Atherton began as a leading man in Steven Spielberg's "Sugarland Express," John Schlesinger's "Day of the Locust," and Richard Brooks's "Looking for Mr. Goodbar." He is most known for his iconic characters in "Ghostbusters," "Die Hard" I and II, "Real Genius," "Bio-Dome" and "The Last Samurai."); 15-year old actor Garrett Backstrom ("The Motel Life," starring with Dakota Fanning, Stephen Dorff and Emile Hirsch, to which, Garrett plays Stephen Dorff at sixteen; also featured in "How To Train Your Dragon" commercial for DVD release); actor Gabriel Jarret ("Apollo 13," "Frost," "Nixon"); actress Vanessa Evigan ("Zombie Hamlet"); actress Lindsey Gareth (Columbia's "Born To Be a Star"); (producer/director Alonso Alvarez ("Historia de un Letrero"), and more to be announced.
When: Saturday, April 9, 2011
4:00 p.m.: Children arrive for Subway sponsored meal
5:00 pm: Screening Starts with Opening Remarks by Wes Parker
Where: Harmony Gold Preview House Theater (7655 Sunset Blvd., LA 90046) at the Northwest corner of Sunset and Stanley, near the border of West Hollywood and Hollywood. (Stanley is West of La Brea and East of Fairfax.)

Currently marking its 20th anniversary year, TheatreVision is a program that makes feature film presentations accessible to the visually challenged. The concept of narration and description in motion pictures was created by Mrs. Helen Harris in 1990. TheatreVision incorporates a special soundtrack for feature films that runs concurrently with the dialogue of the motion picture. This second soundtrack provides a descriptive narration of what is being shown on the screen, so that audience members who are blind—or those with limited sight—can still experience the medium of motion pictures. With the help and cooperation of the Hollywood community, the prototype for TheatreVision was developed by Mrs. Harris, who then worked in conjunction with many of the entertainment industry's leading filmmakers—several of whom have created TheatreVision versions of their own films. These specially formatted films have been made available, through RPI, to libraries, charitable organizations, special screenings, and schools for the blind. To date, over 150 Hollywood feature films have been produced in TheatreVision, with many having been narrated by noted celebrities. These have included "Forrest Gump," "Titanic" (described by James Cameron), "Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menance" (described by Samuel L. Jackson), "Mission Impossible," "Gangs of New York" (described by Martin Scorcese). "Apollo 13" (described by William Shatner), and "It's A Wonderful Life" (described by President George H. W. Bush). Recent entries include "Twilight," "Valkkyrie," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Inglourious Basterds," "Seven Pounds" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."
About RP International (RPI)
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a degenerative, hereditary eye disease that afflicts nearly 3.5 million people worldwide. When diagnosed with the condition 40 years ago, Helen Harris was a homemaker in Pennsylvania. Once she found out that she had passed on RP to two out of her three sons, she started a mission to save vision by founding RP International (RPI). Since then, Harris' non-profit organization has led the fight against disabling eye diseases that afflict over 31 million people in America and worldwide. RPI has raised over $5 million to date during the past 40 years of telethons and special events, including its annual Vision Awards fundraiser for medical research for restoring vision. RPI is also behind the first successful retinal transplant that has fully restored vision in blind patients. RPI has also enlisted other donors into contributing more than $300 million directly to medical research for eye health. Whether Retinitis Pigmentosa, Macular Degeneration, Usher's Syndrome, Batten's Disease, or other visual impairments, RPI has helped pierce the darkness through the following initiatives: sponsoring medical research and communication amongst leading researchers; providing human services for blind and sight-impaired children, young adults, and seniors; educating the public, the medical profession, and those suffering from disabling eye diseases; pioneering TheatreVision™, an innovative technical development invented at RPI that permits the blind and sight-impaired to watch movies and television with their sighted family and friends; the annual "Eyes of Christmas" special broadcast, raising awareness and bringing holiday cheer to the blind; as well as the annually televised Vision Awards (
www.visionawards.org), which honors major luminaries across the fields of entertainment, science, sports and the arts. Harris has partnered with many of the biggest stars and movie studios to produce TheatreVision™ versions of major feature films, including James Cameron, who lent his voice for the audio description of his blockbuster hit, "Titanic."
Contributions to support RPI's initiatives to save vision can be made via mail to: RP International, PO BOX 900, Woodland Hills, CA 91367, or online at

The shorts are produced by local partners including pan-African animation company MyChild TV (executive producer), Cape Town's PUnch Money Studios (scripts), South African 2D studio Mindseye Creative (animation), Audio Militia (post-production) and local comedians and voice over artists.
"We have been extremely impressed by the amazing, creative energy present within each of the partners and this energy, together with the imaginative entries received in this year's Cartoon Network Imagination Studios competition, has reinforced our investment into localising content and our promise to further mentor the African animation industry", sad Ariane Suveg, Head of Programming and Acquisitions of Turner Kids' Channels in Africa.

Boots had a 'Buy one, get one half price' deal on this week and these were my two treats:
The first purchase is the Bourjois Sweet Kisses Lipstick in 'Rouge Intemporel' which is drunkenly modelled by me and my friend from the weekend in the last picture there. Its a great colour, although I thought it would be slightly pinker/purple rather than red when I bought it. I would definitely recommend it though, as after a fair few cocktails my lipstick was still pretty fresh! It's priced at £7.99 and comes in a really sleek case (cool button thing - whoohoo), so I would give 4.5/5 overall.
The second purchase was a 'Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer' which was definitely a 'oh-my-god-I-get-something-half-price-quick-grab-something-now-that-really?-yes-I've-always-wanted-one' moment. I always have trouble with highlighters, as I haven't managed to find something that I adore. Sadly, I'm not a huge fan of this either! It has a clicky twisty button which ends up shooting the product out and the coverage is quite light. The original (non-deal) price is £9.99, so I would give this a 2.5/5 overall as you can probably find a cheaper one that will do the same thing.
I have bought a few new clothes AND jewels (naughty), so I will have to do another post for those, but if anyone can recommend a highlighter for me please do!
Peace, Emmy x

OK so maybe I'm not the only one who turned to his roommate days ago and sarcastically remarked, "Gosh, wouldn't it be kind of funny if all these third-world countries started sending us help?"
"Poor nations that usually turn to the United States for assistance, such as Honduras, offered to become donors as did Sri Lanka and Indonesia ..." More than 40 nations and governmental organizations in all, including, as I understand, Nigeria, Afghanistan and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Oh and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
"Countries were very generous after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States but officials said they could not remember this kind of outpouring of sympathy and aid for any other natural disaster on U.S. soil." Here's what I want to see out of this, on the national scene, that not even Sept. 11 could accomplish for very long: American humility.
I don't want to see a single goddamn bumper sticker of Calvin pissing on a hurricane or any shit like that... Or anyone pledging to "nevar forget" while clutching a rifle and glancing anxiously out to sea... Or any cavalier "Woo USA #1!" car horn honking beer-swilling bullshit. I want to see the entire country, once it's back on its feet, to quietly acknowledge the debt and responsibility it owes the entire rest of the world, especially the countries it has so far treated like shit. If that means overlooking a little national debt on the part of some other country or relaxing trade or immigration restrictions or anything like that, even if it means Americans have to tighten their belts a little instead of rushing to call in loans and otherwise recover at the expense of other nations, let them do it humbly and gratefully.

DOG HOME > PUPPY TRAINING > How To Train A Puppy To Pee On A Pad
How To Train A Puppy To Pee On A Pad
There are many different ways to house train puppies. One option for house training your puppy is to teach him to pee on a house training pad.
Teaching your puppy to pee on a pad is very similar to teaching him to relieve himself on newspapers. Instead of newspapers youll be using house training pads designed for the purpose.
Choosing Where To Put The Pads
In order to train your puppy to use house training pads you should place the pads in the area you have chosen for your puppy to use. Ideally, this will be a somewhat confined area so your puppy will have a smaller choice about places to go. A kitchen, den or laundry room often makes a good choice. Any room with a tile or linoleum floor is a good choice since floors of this type are easy to clean if your puppy has an accident. You will not want to place the puppy training pads near your dogs sleeping or eating areas since he will have an aversion to relieving himself near those places.
To help keep your floor cleaner you can place some plastic sheeting under the pads as a precaution.
Watch For Signs
Once you have everything set up you should help your dog get started using the house training pad. You can do this by spending time with him and watching for signs that he needs to relieve himself. As soon as you see the signs, take your puppy to the house training pad and give him a word so he can associate it with the pad such as potty or papers. Your puppy should use the house training pad as designed. Make sure you praise your puppy to let him know that hes done a good thing.
Put Your Puppy On A Schedule
Although your puppy may catch on that hes supposed to use the house training pad, he may still need frequent encouragement at first. You can help your puppy if you will put him on a definite schedule. Take your puppy to the pad as soon as he wakes up in the morning, right after he eats, when he wakes up from naps, and right after he has a big play session. These are all times when puppies usually need to potty. You should also make sure your puppy uses the pad before he goes to sleep at night.
Watch For Accidents
Youll also need to be on the lookout for accidents. Watch your puppy for signs that he needs to relieve himself. When you see him acting suspiciously go ahead and take him to the pad, just in case. As your puppy gets a little older he will become more reliable about using the pad on his own.
You will need to change the house training pads frequently. You should also use an odor neutralizer to eliminate unwanted odors. You can purchase these products at pet stores or buy them online.
Your puppy will almost certainly have a few accidents so dont be surprised by them. Hes only a puppy and he will make mistakes. If you catch your puppy in the act of having an accident then you should clap your hands or make some other loud noise to startle him and let him know that this is inappropriate behavior. Carry him to the house training pad and encourage him to finish there. Then praise him.
If you find an accident after its already happened, let it go. Puppies have a short attention span and if you punish your puppy for something thats already happened he wont have any idea why hes being punished. Instead, take the blame yourself and make a mental note to watch for the signs more closely the next time.
Toy dogs and some other small breeds may be harder to house train so you should be extra patient with them. If they have accidents simply continue to take them back to the house training pads. They should eventually get the idea.
Many large breed puppies can learn to use house training pads but they will almost always prefer to go outside to relieve themselves if given a choice.
Training your puppy how to pee on a pad isnt that hard but it does take persistence on your part. Follow the suggestions offered here and your puppy should learn to use a pad very quickly.

The SwissCube telecommunication system includes two data transmission types. A beacon signal (20.8 dBm or 120mW, 10 bits/sec in Morse code at 437 MHz) is constantly operational and is switched off by a command from the ground to be replaced by the main RF data transmission. This main data stream sends the scientific and engineering telemetry at 1200 bits/sec at an output power of 30 dBm (1W) and is FSK modulated at a frequency of 437 MHz. The uplink signal uses the 145 MHz carrier frequency and is AFSK modulated.
Since in the stowed configuration, SwissCube shall not exceed 10cm on a side, and since two antennas are used to communicate with the ground stations, an antenna deployment system is used. The VHF antenna is 610 mm long when the antenna is in straight ideal position. The UHF antenna of 176 mm when the antenna is in straight ideal position.
A critical requirement for the deployment system is high reliability. This has to be achieved with several other constraints like mass, volume and power consumption. The mass for the antenna system is 25g. The volume used in the interior of the satellite has to be kept as small as possible and it shall not protrude out of the face of the cube more than 6.5mm. In addition to that, the system has to fulfill all the compatibility criteria for space applications.

How Beginners Can Compose & Paint A "Non-Boring" Still-Life
Step 5: Cast Shadow With Contrast
For the lemon's cast shadow (i.e. the shadow underneath the lemon), add Alizarin Crimson and a touch of Mineral Violet and Opera to the blue mixture, then paint in the shadow. You can do a slight overlap over the bottom of the lemon to help break up the uniformity of color in the shadows, and add contrast to your painting as purple is the complementary color to yellow. A small portion of this yellow is also reflected by the table, so to paint that, lift out a little purple near the bottom of the lemon using a clean brush, then add some yellow to the same area.

The first person charged with criminal homicide in Beaver County in 2011 spent Sunday overnight in the Mercer County Jail before being returned Sunday afternoon to Beaver County, according to multiple police and court sources.
Robert Allen Maier, 60, of 105 Terrace Lane, New Sewickley, was charged with criminal homicide Saturday by Rochester Borough police officer Jeffrey Lizzi, according to court documents. Maier fled the scene and was not apprehended for nearly 10 hours. There are no related charges. There were two adults and two children present at the time of the shooting.
Rochester Detective Dawn Shane said Saturday that Maier shot Matthew Rose, 31, with a handgun in the kitchen of a residence at 409 Jackson Street. Shane identified Rose as the son of Maier's girlfriend, who was not identified. Maier's girlfriend resided in the house where the shooting took place, according to police.
Maier was brought to the Mercer County jail by Greenville police shortly after midnight Saturday and remained in the jail until officers from the Beaver County District Attorney's office arrived shortly after noon Sunday to take custody of him, according to a spokesman at the Mercer County Jail.
The Mercer County jail spokesman was unable to say if Maier turned himself into officers or if he was apprehended in flight, and neither Greenville or Rochester police responded Sunday to a queries from the Times.
According to online court records, Maier had no previous criminal record.
Maier, from the Beaver County jail, received a video arraignment shortly after 10 p.m Sunday before District Judge Janet Swihart. Maier said "I believe not" when Swihart asked if he had any questions about the homicide charge. He acknowledged that he wanted a public defender to represent him Dec. 12 at a preliminary hearing at the Beaver County Courthouse.
Swihart told Maier that she could not offer bail to someone charged with homicide.
According to a criminal complaint written by Lizzi and made available at Maier's arraignment, police received a call from Brandi Bentz, age and address not available, at 2:35 p.m. Saturday saying that Rose, her boyfriend, had been shot three times.
Bentz, according to Lizzi's report, told police that Maier and Rose were in the kitchen when Maier "unexpectedly brandished a black in color handgun and proceeded to shoot the victim."
Rose, according to the report from Bentz to police, attempted to run through the kitchen door and climb over a fence, but Maier followed Rose and shot him two more times. Police found Rose on the ground between residences at 409 and 411 Jackson Street and he died at 4:42 p.m. at Heritage Valley Beaver hospital.
Bentz told police that her two children and another adult female were in the living room of the residence at 409 Jackson St. when Maier began shooting.
District Attorney Anthony Berosh of Beaver County, in a Nov. 3 interview with the Times, said Beaver County had not yet had anyone charged with criminal homicide in 2011.

Have a Listing? Organize your files with a folder structure. Having a new listing can both be a blessing and a curse! Ha ha. For one, doing up the tasks and meeting deadlines for a listing can be very time-consuming and tedious. Without a process in place, you are like fighting a battle without an armour!
The first thing I would suggest for every listing is to keep a folder for each listing. On this folder, you will save all the files associated with the listing so you can always go back to it when you need to get something.
Terry and I have formulated a folder structure template for every listing Terry would have and it has proven to be an efficient way to keep the files more organized and the process to run smoothly. Here are the folders that we currently have.
All these folders are under one folder - a folder within a folder - and each of these individual folders also has sub-folders within them. Say for example, for Photos, under it there are sub-folders for High-Resolution images, Low-Resolution images and Floor Plans. Want to take a quick peek? Click HERE to get access to this Folder Structure Template - no sign-in required!
Once you're there, you may also notice that we're using Google Drive to save our files. I highly recommend saving your listing folders on the cloud. This gives you peace of mind that whatever happens to your computer, you won't lose anything. Plus the good thing is you can access your files from anywhere in the world with just the need for internet.
I'd recommend using Google's GSuite – it's packed with features to run your business like a true business and it comes with Google Drive as part of the package. Check it out here.
If you're considering starting with a listing process but you don't know exactly how you should begin, you're lucky! I'm also offering the exact steps on how we do each listing on our end! With these steps, you're worry-free that you won't be miss any important steps and be as compliant as you can possibly imagine. It also is a good thing if you have somebody else helping you out – your assistant or maybe your spouse 😊 so they know how to get things done even if you're not around! If you're interested to invest in a new way to do your listings, click here for more information.
The video below provides a preview about doing one of the first steps of the listing – creating a Folder Structure template. I gave a little preview as well regarding the Listing Steps we're using so you have a little idea of what I'm talking about.
If you want to go on and dig deeper, we are so excited to let you know that we have an Agent Membership Site on topics JUST like this to help you grow and keep your business. Check it out here.

New hub with a single link to all services.
Milan's city administration has announced a total overhaul of all its online services to bring them under a single, collective umbrella and to provide a better and faster service. The rollout of the new city hub is planned for the end of 2018.
The key element in the new configuration of online dialogue with milanesi will be a single hub for access to all municipal data, instead of the current 852 servers with 185 different data bases unable to connect directly with one another. The new platform will contain all the information currently spread over three portals – Comune, Tourism and Mobility – and their 22 sub-sites.
A second major aim of the modernisation is to eliminate paperwork: residents will be able to correspond directly with administrators via internet, without needing to fill out and hand in paper forms, while city hall employees will find all the relevant documentation stored online and thus be able to reply faster to queries and requests.
A third major section of the new site will comprise a map, graphic and constantly updated, of all municipal property across the city,
Qualified personnel will be on hand from December in local offices to explain and help users and to handle input and requests by residents without internet access at home, or without the digital skills to present their requests.
Each of the city's nine boroughs will also have its own local pages for information on what's going on in the neighbourhood. And every resident will have his or her personal file, securely protected, to find data on taxes paid or due, traffic violations, receipts, requests for online certificates, parking permits and more.
The site will also contain "open data", a permanent and updated record of all municipal activity to enable direct participation of residents in the management of their city.
Roberta Cocco, councillor in charge of the new project, said she had been inspired by the best in international examples, such as the single city portal in Barcelona.
"We are creating a series of international partnerships for exchange of best practice," Cocco added.

People say I have a contagious laugh. Once I start, bit by bit everyone around me will join in and they don't even have a clue why I'm laughing! Some people have a nervous laugh. If you catch them out in conversation or something doesn't seem quite what it is, they laugh it off in an unconvincing way.
I've even seen people laugh and cry at the same time when faced with terrible adversity. Perhaps it's a coping strategy.
So look at how complex and mysterious laughter is. It can be hysterical, evil, laughing insultingly in someone's face or a joyous expression of laughing together.
So the next time you're laughing, ask yourself, why am I laughing, what kind of laughter is it, and what is laughter anyway?
So, my question is:
What makes you laugh?
Have you ever played a joke on someone and it back-fired?
Where do your draw the line between what's funny and what is 'sick' humour?
I'd love to hear your comments, views and opinions.

I absolutely hate whining.
It gets on my nerves.
Plus I can't sleep with all that noise going on.
That is the only reason I let him into the bedroom.
He just wants to be in on the action.
Which of course, I can sympathize with.
No, I'm not talking about some hottie. I'm talking about Houseguest's dog.
Don't worry, we didn't scar him for life by letting him see us in action.
The 'party' had just finished.
What a mistake!
All night, he was muttering and growling.
Stomping about the bedroom.
Then he jumps onto the bed, which I don't normally allow.
But as I was in a post orgasmic haze I let it slide.
He finally dozes off at my side, not Houseguest's.
But the little sneak works his way up the bed during the night, finally laying his head on my chest!
Enough! OUT!!
I needed my rest!
It's hard work taking care of business. Houseguest is a demanding lover.
What do we wake up to in the morning?
In our tiredness last night, we had forgotten to put away our sex toys.
Seems the dog can't tell the difference between a rubber dildo and a rubber bone.
Five assorted dildos and butt plugs chewed up.
Houseguest was nearly in tears.
Her best friends destroyed.
I did comment that I thought her dog was supposed to be her best friend.
She reminded me that she was not a man.
A gay man trapped in a woman's body perhaps, but still not a man.
"They are only dildos", I told her, but it seems she is quite attached to some of them.
She regaled me with tales of how her toys got her through lean periods.
Hmmm, I think she loved some of them more than me.
So I'm actually quite glad the mutt chewed them up.
Apart from the vibrating black butt plug, even I loved that one!
So the poor mutt is in the doghouse, and my position as top dog is confirmed.
By the way, if anyone would like a half eaten sex toy, just let me know.

A summary of a classic modernist poem
'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' has been called, by the critic Christopher Ricks, the best first poem in a first volume of poems: it opened Eliot's debut collection, Prufrock and Other Observations, in 1917. 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' had been written by T. S. Eliot, though, back in 1910-11, and made its debut in print in June 1915, when it was published in Poetry magazine. Previously, one poetry bookseller had rejected the poem on the grounds that it was 'absolutely insane': Harold Monro, an influential publisher and owner of the Poetry Bookshop in London, was offered the chance to publish 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'. He flung it back, labelling it 'insane', as Peter Ackroyd records in his lucid and informative biography T.S.Eliot. This ground-breaking modernist poem has attracted many interpretations, involving everything from psychoanalysis to biographical readings, but it remains an elusive poem.
T. S. Eliot wrote 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' while he was still a student at Harvard, in his early twenties. The images of the modern metropolitan world which we find in 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' as well as many of the other poems in Eliot's first volume of poems – the cigarette ends, the cups of coffee, the 'vacant lots' – are partly a result of the influence of the French poet Charles Baudelaire on Eliot. It is partly what helps to make him a modern poet, focusing on urban social alienation and the landscape of the city rather than on nature and the pastoral. He treats his characters and his scenes without sentiment, but nevertheless his poems contain an emotional intensity which Baudelaire had shown the way for: modern poetry did not have to be cold and emotionless. Eliot could speak French fluently (as the French verses included in his Collected Poems 1909-62 attest), and he even spent a short time in Paris after his MA at Harvard, and before he came to England in 1914. His portrayal of modern urban life is heavily influenced by Baudelaire's depictions of nineteenth-century Paris.
Another big influence on early Eliot, alongside Baudelaire, was Jules Laforgue (1860-1887), a Franco-Uruguayan Symbolist poet. Eliot's early poetry leading up to, and including, 'Prufrock', was heavily influenced by the French Symbolists: in 1908 Eliot had read Arthur Symons' manifesto, The Symbolist Movement in Literature (1899), which argued that the poet should go in search of the perfect symbol that would help to illuminate life – poetry is talked up by Symons as being almost a new religion. In Symons' book, Eliot underlined the passages that addressed the method of one particular Symbolist writer, Jules Laforgue. It was Laforgue's poems that would have a profound influence on 'Prufrock' and Eliot's other early poems. In 1882, Laforgue had had the idea of 'a new kind of poetry which would be psychology in the form of dream … with flowers and scents and wind … complex symphonies with certain phrases (motifs) returning from time to time'. This new technique was what helped Eliot to create the stream-of-consciousness style of Prufrock's interior monologue.
But what is 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' about? It's a dramatic monologue, but utterly unlike those written by Robert Browning and Alfred, Lord Tennyson in the previous century. Tennyson and Browning virtually invented this new form of poetry in the 1830s and 1840s, and their names were synonymous with it. But Prufrock is a modern-day, urban speaker, who talks frankly about his failures: chiefly, his failure to 'grasp the nettle' or 'seize the day', his lack of sexual fulfilment, and his overall sense of failure. We cannot always be sure that what he is confiding to us is actually being uttered: we may instead have a direct line to his thoughts, to the inside of his head.
Who is he? Middle-aged, perhaps around 40 (his head has 'grown slightly bald'), socially awkward, living in a world he considers stifling and unsatisfying, his own place in that world not clearly defined (he is not a prophet like John the Baptist, whose head was brought in on a platter to please the erotic dancer, Salome; nor is he Prince Hamlet, but 'an attendant lord' or 'the Fool' – in other words, a bit-part actor rather than the starring role, even in his own life). He has perhaps been tempted to approach prostitutes (see the reference to bare, braceleted arms in 'the lamplight', suggesting women he encounters in the street), but how much experience he's ever had with women is doubtful. He seems reluctant to grasp the nettle and proposition any of them. But we cannot advance much more than this with real confidence. Many of the utterances in the poem remain enigmatic (why does Prufrock think he 'should have been a pair of ragged claws', for instance?), which is a key part of its effectiveness: we cannot ever arrive at a final analysis of the poem. Like all great works of art, it remains open to new interpretations and can mean lots of different things to different readers.
The original draft of 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' had an interesting section that was cut out of the final version. A 38-line section, titled 'Prufrock's Pervigilium' (after the 'Pervigilium Veneris', a late Latin poem about the Roman goddess Venus), was originally meant to be part of the poem but was excised by Eliot before 'Prufrock' appeared in print. You can read the lines here. 'Prufrock's Pervigilium' was not published until 1996, when Eliot's early, previously unpublished poetry appeared, under the title Inventions of the March Hare: T.S. Eliot Poems, 1909-1917, after the name Eliot originally gave to the little notebook of poems he compiled in his early years.
Analysing 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' can only take us so far towards a 'firm' interpretation of the poem: it is constantly slipping out of our grasp. This is partly why the poem signalled the arrival of such a strikingly new voice in Anglophone poetry. But the original print run of 500 copies of Prufrock and Other Observations would take five years to sell out. Brian Eno once said that only 300 people bought the Velvet Underground's first album, but everyone who bought it went out and formed a band. Eliot's influence may have centred at first on a small group of people, but they included Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, and E. M. Forster, each of whom would help to champion Eliot as the most exciting new voice in English verse.

From the winner of The Apprentice welcome StyleFile! I get through so many nail files every month as my nails seem to grow at the speed of light. This little fella is a bit different from the usual flat and straight nail files. This nail file differs by its curved S shape, which should naturally shape your nail whilst you file. One side is for shaping and the other for smoothing.
I must say, this nail file was so quick and easy to use and it shaped my nails perfectly. I would definitely recommend using the Stylefile but I was given this as a birthday present so I am not sure I would pay just under a fiver for this. Ir does seem very expensive. If the Stylefile is long lasting then the price might seem reasonable.
Have you tried the Stylefile? If you have, has it lasted well? Stylefile £4.49 c/o

text: We had a nice London Broil thawed and I decided to throw it in the smoker. First I gave a medium dose of Rub, and Montreal Steak Seasoning, then wrapped and put back in the fridge for a few hours. MES smoker, preheated to 265º, preheat was 1.5 hrs. Outdoor Ambient 54º MES cook temp set to: 230º Meat Start Temp 43º (I wanted it cold to get a longer time in the cooker). It took about 105 min. to get the London Broil to 130º Total time in cooker about 3 hours. I usually try to be very quick and organized when loading the smoker , the idea is to have the hatch open the minimum amount of time so the smoker can recover to set temp faster. Unfortunately I was doing multiple things and added the water tray and meat load at the same time, I usually load the water wait 15min then load the meat. But since it was 54º I decided not to worry about it. Smoker preheat to 265º. Elect. Smoker temp drop to 193º (when food water added), 15 min. and it was at 215º, 20 min. at 225º. Approx time for the London Broil to hit 130º was 100+ min. I turned the smoker heat down to 135º and temp climbed to 140º, at this point I double wrapped in foil and left the smoker temp at 135º, where meat temp bounced between 135-142º. The London Broil stayed in the smoker another 75-80 min. then moved to kitchen oven, un-foiled and put under broiler 5 min. on each side to get a crisper surface. When un-foiled I drained off about 1/2+ cup of meat juice. Heated the meat juice with a little of my kicked up BBQ sauce.

82) The Book Cafe
Just needed a place to study and there is no other than The Book Cafe. As it's self explanatory, the cafe has dedicated an area mainly for reading and work purposes. Feel free to plug in your gadgets, get drawn into a world of fantasy or challenge your intellect with their wide selection of reading materials while having a cuppa.
Frankly, the latte I had was typical just like the majority of cafes out there, weak in body, aroma and flavour. Definitely not a place for coffee, however, I may be wrong.
In any case, I managed to get my work done without disturbance and I'm satisfied with that.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Joining the New York Yankees caused Neil Walker to smile, despite a hefty drop in salary.
The free agent infielder agreed Monday to a $4 million, one-year contract, a 77 percent pay cut in a deal that allows New York prospects Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar more time to mature in the minor leagues.
Walker earned $17.2 million last season, when he accepted a qualifying offer from the New York Mets.
"It's certainly a crazy offseason but more than anything my hope was that I'd land somewhere that's going to be competitive and have a chance to win," Walker said. "I'm happy to be here, happy to be on a contending team."
Walker likely will start at second base and Brandon Drury, acquired from Arizona last month, will play third. Walker can make $500,000 in performance bonuses: $125,000 each for 425, 450, 475 and 500 plate appearances.
"It's just another choice for manager," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "If he takes something from somebody over time, so be it. But again he's getting a little bit of a late start given the fact that we're probably about two weeks away from leaving Florida."
The 32-year-old hit .265 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs last year for the Mets and Milwaukee, who acquired him Aug. 12.
Among the victims of a historically slow free agent market, Walker had been working out at the camp for free agents in Bradenton, organized by the players' association.
"I didn't have an offer from anybody until three days ago," Walker said. "I'm excited to be a part of this."
Walker will wear No. 14 with the Yankees. His deal raised New York's projected luxury tax payroll to approximately $181 million, about $16 million below the luxury tax threshold.
"It's something we couldn't ignore when the opportunity still existed," Cashman said.
Notes: Yankees broadcaster Ken Singleton announced on Twitter that 2018 will be last year in the booth. "I've been playing or talking baseball ever since I was 4 years old. It's time for this enjoyable ride to end. Thanks fans for allowing me into your homes & businesses." ... Yankees manager Aaron Boone said OF Jacoby Ellsbury might not be ready for start of the regular season. Ellsbury is hitting off a tee and taking soft toss. ... The Yankees released INF Danny Espinosa and sent INF Kyle Holder to their minor league camp.

What can future consumers expect from a smarter society?
We are entering a new age of digitalization where almost every aspect of our lives is set to be aided and enhanced by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This, in turn, will have a domino effect, helping in the shaping of a smarter society where the consumer will be able to make more informed choices.
In its recent Global Future Consumer Study, AT Kearney stated that younger generations will "increasingly seek relationships based on trust rather than individual transactions. As a result, the business models used to attract these consumers can no longer be linear and static." In other words, brands can no longer afford to go with a one-size-fits-all approach and must learn to "react to smaller signals from micro-pockets of consumers" and personalize their products. Thankfully, data analytics and AI-platforms will help us reach exactly that level of personalization.
The case for greater personalization
The future consumer will be able to walk into a store, with IoT-enabled devices having already indicated what supplies they are running short of. Smart sensors will automatically scan the future consumer's shopping basket and deduct the cost of the items. What's more, the retailer will share information about the consumer's purchases with his bank and vice-versa. This will allow banks to analyze an individual's spending patterns and make appropriate suggestions.
For example, if you have made a large purchase on your credit card, but have another payment coming up soon, your bank will be able to give you the option to pay it off in instalments.
The same process could also be applied to making larger investments like buying a house. The future consumer will be able to go through available properties, read about property rates, neighbourhood data and make the payment over the phone. In the meantime, the bank will have already analyzed the future consumer's assets and liabilities and informed him if he can afford the property, even providing financial plans to keep him going while he pays off the mortgage. In essence, it will be similar to having a personal financial advisor.
From manufacturing to services, to even the banking and retail sector, organizations are studying data and devising innovative new services around it. The resulting ecosystem will be one fuelled by machine learning and technology and will run invisibly in the background, augmenting consumer experience.
An interconnected ecosystem
From talking about "my" customer, organizations will learn to co-operate with one another across sectors to cater to "our" customers. One good example of this is Uber which opened up its API, allowing retailers to realize that they could get their products out faster by using Uber as a delivery service. In one stroke, Uber disrupted both the transport and logistics sector. Similarly, banking and insurance companies have begun to realize that by tying up with other sectors, they will dramatically widen their sales points, and be able to offer their customers more opportunities to access financing.
Examples of this can already be seen in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) payment systems. Tieto was instrumental in setting up the ecosystem for Siirto in Finland and is working closely with Swish in Sweden and Vipps in Norway. Retailers in Sweden have reported that over 40% of transactions are now being made through Swish. Apart from the rapid adoption of these systems, these transactions also generate a veritable goldmine of data, which can be analyzed to provide additional services.
It is essential that companies recognize these trends and capitalize on them. A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group indicated that the gap between companies who have jumped on the digitalization train and those who haven't, is quite significant. The early adopters are already working on plans to improve revenue-generating activities such as customer experience reinvention and next-generation sales, while the latecomers are still struggling with getting the basics right by setting up the right technological environment (digital architecture and cloud).
All of this of course hinges on having potential consumers be comfortable with using this new breed of services. And that is where user experience and design will come in. Crack this and what we will have is a whole new consumer ecosystem, one that will fundamentally change the world as we know it.
What does a smarter society mean?
Tieto's goal is to utilize our expertise in digitalization to continue shaping a smarter society, one which anticipates the needs of the people in every phase of their lives. For more insights and examples on how we are doing this, visit Tieto.com/smartersociety.
