Dancing with the devil
Das Ich's new album is creating a storm with its strong satanic imagery; Bruno Kramm explains why they deliberately aimed to provoke people.
Germans Bruno Kramm and Stefan Ackermann, collectively known as Das Ich, are a pair whose reputation precedes them. They're supposedly unapproachable, scary and, of course, they're not going to turn up! Of the Dark Jubilee line-up, Das Ich was the band nobody believed would play, to be proven very wrong by the full-on performance to which Bruno and Stefan treated the crowd on Monday.
As for being unapproachable and scary, people really need to learn how to separate the image from the reality. Onstage, Das Ich are intense, demonic creatures, spitting and snarling their way through the some of the darkest Germanic EBM around. Backstage, Bruno is cheerful, friendly and incredibly chatty, while Stefan's more reserved attitude seems to have more to do with the fact that his English isn't as good as his bandmate's than any lack of approachability.
Das Ich's new album isn't likely to change their reputation all that much, but releasing an album called "anti'christ" isn't what you do if you want people to see you as their kindly German uncles. For Bruno, it's like completing the circle, they are returning to their roots, finally creating the true follow-up to their debut album "Satanische Verse". As he points out, they've done quiet a lot of experimental work in recent years, the "Die Liebe" collaboration with metal band Atrocity, the "Morgue" album based around the poems of Gottfried Benn, which he describes as more of an Indian music project, and the "Das Inner Licht" soundtrack album, all of which took them away from the true Das Ich style.
"We thought, now, when we want to start again doing new Das Ich stuff, and I'm pretty sure that, in a few years, we'll have the next album, we thought we should first find the way back to the beginning of the circle of Das Ich. And 'cause of that, I think the songs of the new album are really in a way like the old Das Ich stuff, but with the sound of today."
He adds that "Propheten" was originally going to be called "anti'christ", but they were frightened of the reaction that name would provoke from Christian groups and the likes. However, since the attacks on the World Trade Centre, they feel that the time is right for such a strong statement.
"There is a really strange change in foreign politics, especially when you look how the strongest country in the world starts to talk in symbols which we thought had been buried a long time ago. These symbols of good and evil, this is something that really scares us, 'cause these symbols were used in times like a 100 years ago to aggravate people, to make them ready for war instead of having discussions and, let's say, intercultural exchange. And it's really frightening that today, in this modern global world, it starts again to work with these symbols."
Their aim with the album is to play with the symbols of good and evil, exposing the relativity involved in concepts that are dependent on your point of view. Bruno explains that, if you read their lyrics and understand them, there is a clear biblical concept to the words, but they also contain another, more personal meaning. He cites the track 'Vater', which is about God the father on one hand, but their own fathers on the other.
There is a third reason why they chose such an in your face title, which is to spark off a debate and counter the way the Gothic scene has recently been treated in Germany. The politicisation that followed the recent murder in Germany by a couple of "vampiric Goths" has led to the scene being regarded as evil and satanic. They hate the fact that a young Gothic boy or girl in a small town in Germany has to fight against these assumptions.
"We use this title also 'cause we know the mass media will definitely start to talk with us in public about this. The good thing for us is we have a stage to talk about this, to go further than just being on the surface. After all these many years, we have never been satanic people. So, after this long time, we just got bored with this stupidity, from media that you're always crucified as something satanic simply by the fact that you're wearing only black and that you're not into the mainstream."
He's not too keen on getting too close to the mainstream himself and isn't a fan of the way the futurepop scene is doing just that, drawing on the more accessible sounds of '80s EBM than the darker and more extreme '90s variety. He argues that a few bands making adjustments to their sound now, to give them a better chance in the mainstream, could lead to a different situation in four or five years. He sees a lot more bands be doing the same thing then and a scene be made up of people who are only interested in this mainstream sound. However, he recognises that the scene changes every four years or so, something he's seen happen quite a few times since he was 16 (he's 35 now).
"I'm not so scared about the possibility that the whole scene could change into something real mainstream like Britney Spears. I see that there's a big branch of the scene that's really influenced by the bands, which started in the '80s, but also in the bands which started in the '90s. So, I think what's the most interesting thing that the scene got, in the last years, more diverse and diverse and that's, I think, the best thing that can happen to this."
Das Ich flirted with elements of the new scene with their remix album, "Re_Laborat", but Bruno rejects any suggestion that the remixes influenced the sound of "anti'christ". He points out that, as he owns a big recording studio and records many bands, if he was influenced by all the music he encounters, Das Ich would end up being a jazz band.
"Concerning this remix album, it had just one interesting point for us, to see how bands that came after us got influenced by ourselves and then started to rework and recreate our material, that was the most interesting thing. But less in the sense of getting influence, more in a sense of seeing what this new kind of scene is now doing with our stuff."
He welcomes the variety of bands on the Dark Jubilee line-up because it shows young Goths that the whole scene is really diverse and that there are so many styles where from they can pick some interesting ideas.
"Ok, it's a small festival in comparison to festivals like Wave-Gotik-Treffen, but from the basic idea of having a really mixed show, all cultural branches of the scene, it's really fantastic. We really like to be part of this Dark Jubilee, not of the Queen's jubilee, but of Dark Jubilee."

Falls can be devastating for elderly people, according to Sandy Nicholson, manager of the Somerset Senior Community Center.
The Area Agency on Aging of Somerset County is sponsoring Healthy Steps, a fall prevention program, in area centers. Health Steps is coordinated by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare in conjunction with the county agency.
People are eligible for screening if they are 60 or older and if they receive medical assistance or are willing to participate in a cost-share.
"The purpose of the screening is to identify individuals who are most likely to be at a high risk of falling," she said. "If necessary, they may be referred to a nutritionist, a physician or an eye doctor."

Pasoh Forest Reserve (01.01.2011 to 09.30.2011)
You are here
PDF version
01 : January - September
Protocol Activities:
(a) The six vegetation plots were established. However, this happened too late to receive their first diameter census in the mid-year dry season. The first dry-season census of diameters has been rescheduled to in January-March 2012, which is the second dry season at Pasoh.
(b) Camera traps were deployed for the first time at each of the two 30-point arrays, one in the Pasoh Forest Reserve, the second in Kenaboi Forest, during June-September 2011. Photos were sent to Washington on DVD, but were not yet processed with DeskTEAM
(c) Climate data recording started September 2011, using the TEAM equipment installed in the existing canopy tower at the Pasoh Field Station.
Protocol Problems:
The first download of climate data showed errors. We are attempting to resolve the problem with help from the TEAM Technical director.
Schedule Problems:
It turned out to be impossible to complete all the work for vegetation and terrestrial vertebrates with the available time, especially because the fieldwork period includes the fasting period. We decided to move the first census of the vegetation plots to the second dry season (Pasoh has two dry seasons per year). Technical Director of TEAM approved this.

Ah, Meddle. With all the airplay that DSOTM and The Wall, and Wish You Were Here get,. its a tragedy that this album gets lost in the shuffle...and I'll admit that I bought this CD for One of These Days and it took me years to actually listen to the rest of it. Partly because I said, well, I guess I should hear Echoes at some point, and partly because of my renewed interest in 60s psychadelic rock.
Does it seem weird that the Pink Floyd I like best are the albums that arent the mainstream concept albums? Meddle is a hodgepodge of different styles--from the metallic One of These Days, to the pure psychadelia of A Pillow of Winds, to the laid back groove of Fearless... the jazzy cakewalk of San Tropez, the hound accompanied blues of Seamus and of course the full on prog epic Echoes... and none of it disappoints.
One of These Days is such a great jam, and it's one of the first songs I learned to play on the bass... and the reason I bought a delay pedal. The way it builds from phaser noise and bass to full on whacked out craziness and then back to phaser noise is incredible... It's like Octavarium if you excise the 20 minutes of filler.
A Pillow of Winds again shows that it cant be a real psychadelic album unless someone says eiderdown. Though this song seems more like an ecstasy trip than the acid and mescaline of Piper at The Gates of Dawn. This song is the complete opposite of the opening track instead of an angry storm that builds and wanes, this ditty just sort of floats by. Fearless has the guitar riff of the album and sort of sounds like Hawkwind. I really have know idea what theyre singing, but the music is damn catchy.
San Tropez and Seamus are definitely unique. The former makes Floyd sound like a 4-piece jazz combo, while the latter sounds like it comes straight from the delta... though the dog does get a little annoying if you listen too Seamus too much... I guess thats why he was in the kitchen and Seamus-thats the dog- was outside.
Echoes is a masterpiece, and I'll take it over Shine on You Crazy Diamond anyday. Fuck Shine On You Crazy Diamond! Echoes combines a solid 11 minute song, with a Barbarella soundtrack sounding interlude (of which Gilmore played on) of guitar noise before coming back with the echo of a point in time. It's albums like Meddle that make me never want to buy The Wall.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- A $15.8 billion merger of three of the world's biggest aluminum manufacturers may disintegrate due to antitrust obstacles.
The Financial Times reported that the merger of Alcan Aluminum AL, +0.71% of Canada, Alusuisse Lonza of Switzerland and Pechiney PY, +1.40% of France will be called off by the end of the week after disagreements concerning the sale of certain assets.
An Alcan spokesman said: "As of yet we don?t have a decision as to whether we?re refiling [with the European Commission]. When we have a decision, we will announce it."
Alcan and Pechiney had agreed in the past week that they would resubmit their merger plan for European Commission approval by April 30.
The original deal was structured as two separate transactions, so although the three-company merger is not expected to be revived, a combination of Alcan and Alusuisse remains on the table.
Indications that the original merger could be in trouble emerged when the European Commission decided to block the deal in March because of concerns about dominance in flat-rolled aluminum products. Until Tuesday, it appeared that Alcan and Pechiney had been ready to agree on disposals to satisfy antitrust concerns.
Relations between the three companies were said to be strained as a result of the deal's collapse. None of the companies involved is expected to pay a break-up fee, according to the Financial Times article.
The collapse of the Alcan-Alusuisse-Pechiney discussions could affect regulators' treatment of other deals in the industry, such as the merger between Alcoa AA, +0.25% and Reynolds Metals RLM, +16.16% which is currently awaiting regulatory clearance in Europe and the US, the FT said.
It could also prompt a new series of mergers and acquisitions if jilted partners have to look for new alliances. Viag of Germany has already indicated that its VAW aluminum business is a candidate for disposal.

The Six-Year-Old has been getting an allowance since she was four. In setting it up, we linked it to her age (she gets one dollar per week for every year of her age)–not to the number of chores she completes around the house. Although The Six-Year-Old has tried several times to convince us to pay her for her work, so far we're holding firm. The Six-Year-Old is expected to help out around the house because we are family and everyone pitches in to take care of the family.
We also set the expectation from the beginning that she would save a dollar every week, set aside another dollar to give to the charity of her choice, and spend the rest of it anyway she liked.
It's that last bit that's giving me trouble. It's really hard for me not to set limits on how The Six-Year-Old spends her money. When she wants to spend fifty cents or a dollar on a cheap vending machine ring that's going to break before we even get home, more often than not I stop it. When The Six-Year-Old comes home from a shopping spree and tosses the money she didn't spend carelessly on the playroom floor, I tell her to pick it up and put it away so she doesn't lose it.
But according to parent educator Vicki Hoefle, if I want my child to become a savvy consumer I've got to stop doing things like that. In her article, How to Teach Children to Be Savvy Consumers: Let Them Spend, Hoefle argues that the best way to teach The Six-Year-Old to manage her money wisely is to let her spend or lose her money with abandon now, before it really matters.
Once the money is handed to the kids, micromanage as little as possible. Part of my Duct Tape Parenting methods stresses the less-is-more approach. Avoid the urge to "helicopter parent," and let the kids lose or forget their money or blow it on impulse purchasing.
If they leave their money lying around, toss it into a "vacation jar." Allow them to see how money can collect over time, teaching them to be more conscious and take better care of their earnings.
I'll admit it. I'm struggling with that. It's really hard for me to simply let The Six-Year-Old waste (or lose) her money.
Do you give your kids an allowance? If so, what expectations have you set around it?

The View drop-down typically appears to the left of the Filter drop-down on screens that have lists of players, like the Roster screen:
Changing a view changes the columns of data being displayed in the list, but it does not change whose data you are viewing. Views essentially answer the question "What pieces of data would you like to view?" OOTP provides a number of default views, such as Batting Ratings, Pitching Potential, and Financial Info. The newly selected view is also displayed in the breadcrumbs at the bottom of the screen.
Customizing Views
The true power in views is that they can be customized to display almost any information you want! To customize a view, select Customize from the drop-down menu. Doing this brings up a separatescreenfrom which you can modify the default views.
Note: Since customization begins from whichever view is currently selected, it is often easiest to select a view that is similar to the one you'd like to create before seleting the Customize option. For example, if you want to create a view that shows mainly batting ratings, first select the Batting Ratings default view. Doing this will reduce the amount of customization you need to perform.
The tabs across the top contain many fields to choose from, all selected using check boxes. You can also click the Clear button at the bottom to uncheck all boxes on the selected tab. There is no option to clear all eight tabs at once, so be sure to check each tab. You can select any combination of fields from any combination of tabs. The more fields you select, the more cluttered the display will become, since there is limited space on thescreento display all that information.
The Repeat Columns option allows you to repeat the selected columns up to eight times. If you select two check boxes, those columns will be repeated as many times as can fit across the screen. Why would you use this? For example, let's say you want to create a view that shows just player names. If you do this with the default settings (repeat columns once), you will have a one-column view of players that continues for many screens. However, if you set the columns to repeat five times, your view will contain five columns, each containing names. This technique will display five times as many names on one screen. It's a great option when you are creating views that have only a few pieces of information.
Once you have selected the settings you want, click OK to return to the game screen. Your new view will be applied automatically to your data.
Saving Views
Once you have a new or modified view, you may notice that the breadcrumbs at the bottom of thescreenshow as "(not saved)". Once you have customized a view, the Save View option appears in the drop-down. Use this option to assign a name to your custom view.
Warning!Don't forget to save your view. It is not saved when you click OK. You must use the Save View option if you want to save your view permanently. If you try to switch to another view before saving your changes, a warning is displayed.
Modifying the Default Views
You can modify the default views as well. For example, if you like the default Batting Ratings view, but you want to add player nationality, do the following:
- Select the Batting Ratings view.
- Select the Customize option and add Nationality, then select OK.
- Select Save View, and enter the exact name of the view you want to replace, in this case 'Batting Ratings.' (If you do not type the name exactly, then you will not replace the original default view.)
- You will be prompted to verify that you want to replace the view. Say 'Yes,' and you now have a customized version of the default view.
Editing and Deleting Views
The Edit Views option in the drop-down allows you to rename or delete views. To rename or delete a view, click on the view in the list, and click either the Rename or Delete buttons.
Different Types of Views and Filters
There are eight types of filters and views in OOTP. Each type is distinct, meaning that you can have entirely different custom views in each area. If you create a custom view on the Draft screen, that custom view is not available on the Player screen. The eight types of views and filters are described below.
|View / Filter
|Search Coaches views / filters
|Used when performing global staff searches from the Manager menu, Staff Search & Shortlist option.
|Search Players views / filters
|Used when performing global player searches from the Manager menu, Player Search & Shortlist option.
|Draft Players views / filters
|Used during inaugural or amateur player drafts.
|League Message views / filters
|Used when selecting a filter on the League News screen. (This filter is not customizable.)
|All Messages views / filters
|Used when selecting a filter on the Manager News screen. (This filter is not customizable.)
|All Players views / filters
|Used on screens with player information, such as lineups, rosters, and free agent lists.
|All Coaches views / filters
|Used on screens with personnel information.
|Team Players views / filters
|Used when looking at player information for a specific team, such as a specific team's roster or lineups.
Views are stored in a series of files located in the data/tables directory where you installed the game.
Using Views and Filters across Multiple Games
One of the most important features of views and filters is that they apply to every OOTP saved game on your machine, including online leagues. Playing in two online leagues, plus a solo game? There's no need to recreate your views or filters-you can use your views and filters in each of your baseball universes.
Lists of players often have a set of breadcrumbs that give you a visual reference of how you have filtered the data on-screen.

Being a nice guy is huge problem for me at this point. No really nice guys do finish last, so no I don't want to be one. I don't want to be used like a doormat or be some girls back up plan. I want to be a GOOD MAN, a man with purpose and strength. A man that knows he can stand alone when's he needs to be. A man that also know that he needs the people that he cares for and he's not afraid to ask for help. A type of man that will be there he is needed, or when help is asked of him.
A good man has a nice guy in him this is true, but he knows when he as reached his limit. This is who I want to be. I mean I'm already a gentlemen, a kind hearted soul. I want a woman to see this in me or more like I want you to see this in me. I want to know how you are doing not what you are doing? I want to pull out the best of you while you're doing the same to me. I want to be with my equals not above or below each other. We are two heads of the same coin. Man and Woman. I don't want to control you or change you. I just want to be next to you. This is the type of man I'm willing to be. (I'm not married yet) A husband the evolves with is wive, not brings her down. I don't to an unobtainable queen just you next to me. So that I can look you in the eyes and the our future together. When that's possible. So being a nice guy is selling myself short to all possibilities. I don't want to be one of those nice guys

I would like to be able to keep multiple versions of images.
Typical situations
* Master raw and associated JPEG file.
* 4-6 lower resolution/differently cropped versions for web use.
* Version for print.
* Version with watermark for showing client.
In general parent tags propagate downward. So if I add a keyword to a master, all of the images get it.
The top level feature list makes no mention of version tracking.
Does XNmp do this?

Actresses and their ventures into fashion brands or brands of their own, is quite a common trend.
And now Alia Bhatt is the next after the likes of Sonam Kapoor's Rheson and Anushka Shamra's Nush, to venture into fashion.
Anushka Sharma and Sonam Kapoor decided to venture into fashion not just in terms of label but also as designers. On the other hand, Alia Bhatt has invested in a digital start-up. The actress is a minority stakeholder in this new venture. It is reportedly started by businessman Dhimaan Shah and his celebrity stylist co-founder Archana Walavalkar.
On the other hand, Alia Bhatt may or may not be associated with the publicity campaign of the same. It is being said that the actress has made a request about receiving returns of investments. She believes that being valued with returns would be better than being associated with the publicity campaigns.
As for her work commitments, Alia Bhatt will next be seen in Raazi. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is adapted from the novel 'Calling Sehmat'. Besides, she will also star in Gully Boy opposite Ranveer Singh. She has already kick started the film which is being shot in Mumbai. Furthermore, Alia will also star opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the superhero trilogy Brahmastra.

Wintershall and partners prepare for Maria drilling program
Crews from Odfjell and Halliburton joined Wintershall in preparing for drilling on the Maria field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. With "establishing best HSE and efficiency culture" as the theme throughout the training, Wintershall focused on preparing for Maria specific challenges and uniqueness.
The crews are drilling the 17 ½", 12 ¼" and 8 ½" sections in simulator. Hole cleaning with high ROP and associated challenges, and Well Control are the key areas for the training scenarios
Investments in the Maria development are estimated at around 15.3 billion NOK (100%), including development drilling. Recoverable reserves on the field are estimated around 180 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), of which the majority is oil. The planned production startup for Maria is end 2018, and the estimated production period is 23 years.
The Maria field is located approximately 20 kilometres east of the Kristin field and about 45 kilometres south of the Heidrun field in the Halten Terrace in the Norwegian Sea. Wintershall Norge is the operator of the license with a 50% share. Petoro has a 30% share and Centrica Resources (Norge) owns the remaining 20%.
Wintershall Holding GmbH, based in Kassel, Germany, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BASF in Ludwigshafen. The company has been active in the extraction of natural resources for 120 years, and in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas for over 80 years. Wintershall focuses on selected core regions where the company has built up a high level of regional and technological expertise. These are Europe, Russia, North Africa, South America, and increasingly the Middle East region. The company wants to expand its business further with exploration and production, selected partnerships, innovation and technological competence. Wintershall employs some 2,500 staff worldwide from 40 nations and is now Germany's largest, internationally active crude oil and natural gas producer.

Everyone knows that massage feels great. Did you know that it also promotes good health for both mind and body? Massage releives fatique, reduces anxiety, and calms the nervous system. It promotes relaxation, renewed energy, and overall sense of well being. It also increases the body's metabolism, hastens healing, reduces tension, tones muscles, and improves the detoxifying functions of the lymphatic system. Massage also effects the quality and quantity of blood circulation. Your skin, the largest organ in your body, is nourished through increased blood circulation and the application of moisturizers.
The goal is relaxing the entire body and this is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin.
Swedish massage is exceptional for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Archive for the 'Customer How To' Category
When I try and view my website I get an HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden message.
This error indicates that there is no valid home page, or that permissions have been set on a page which does not allow you to view it.
Cause 1: Missing or wrongly named index file
When you don't specify a file name when accessing a site (eg visiting the domain directly as most do at http://www.domainname.com), the server searches through a list of default filenames and will display the first one it finds. Common default names are index.php, default.htm, index.htm and index.html – The first page of your website should use one of these names, with all lowercase letters.
When we create your web hosting account, we place a simple index.html file on the server so that there is something there before you upload your site. If you delete this file and don't replace it, then you will see the error message above. To fix this, ensure that the first page in you site is called index.html and that the file is uploaded to the public_html directory.
Cause 2: Incorrect Access Control Settings
This error will also be displayed if the directory access settings for your site's root directory are set with access criteria which you do not meet. Usually these settings are contained in a file called ".htaccess". This file is sometimes generated manually, but can also be configured by some web development tools, such as MS FrontPage.
If you are using FrontPage, then you should alter the web permissions using this program, and republish your site. In most other cases, manually removing the .htaccess file usually solves the problem.
I've installed the formmail script, but my form isn't working. Why?
The Formmail Script is provided via the Control Panel, full usage instructions can be found after installation.
Assuming that you have successfully installed the formmail script via the Control Panel, then all the files will be present and the file permissions are correct. Therefore the only other reason for a problem would be your form that is calling the script.
In your eXtend control panel when you installed the script you were given a link for "Usage Instruction" and example HTML code to use, please take a look at that and make sure yours is the same. You are able to make modifications to this to add your own fields, but the basic structure is there to follow.
In order for the form to fully display on a web page the page should be saved with a .cgi extension.
I've put up my site but I still see the standard index page. What's up?
You may be seeing a cached version of the page; please force refresh the page in the browser by simultaneously pressing Ctrl and F5 or delete all the cache/stored pages in the options/settings menu of your browser. If this doesn't help, check you're putting your site in the right place; it should go under the "public_html" folder.
If your site is written in PHP, the default index.html page may still be visible – you should delete this in order to show your site.
My images aren't uploading into the Website Builder Plus, why?
There are some limitations on the size of images that you can load into the Web Builder Plus software, this is done to make sites appear quickly and also to limit bandwidth consumption. The limit is 1MB. Reduce your images down to 72 dpi and you shouldn't have a problem. Some image file types may not be supported by Website Builder Plus also, so try and stick to the universally used formats such as JPEG.
How do I connect to my MySQL database?
A simple php script to open a connection to a database
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'db username';
$dbpass = 'db password';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');
$dbname = 'db name';
Save this as <something>.php and then whenever you want to access the database, just add
include '<something>.php'
to the top of a php script and the database can be queried using standard sql commands.
How do I access the raw web access or error logs?
Simply log into your Control Panel and select 'Web Site Reporting'. You then have an option for 'Log File Download'.
This feature allows you to download your server access log as a zip file, you can then manipulate the file locally on your PC to get any specific data you need.
Otherwise with SSH access enabled you can find these in the "logs" folder in the root of your hosting space (note these are not viewable via FTP)
Buttons in the control panel don't work when I click on them?
This is a problem with some web browsers ability to process the scripting of modern web sites.
It generally occurs in Internet Service Provider specific browsers such as AOL, BT and Tiscali. Try upgrading to a later version of that browser or using a more conventional browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
On accessing the control panel, the error "for security reasons your session has expired" is displayed?
There are a few reasons why the session expiry error is displayed when accessing the Control Panel.
First, the cookie settings on the local browser may be too restrictive. The settings should allow the control panel server to set cookies and any firewall or proxy software should be set to allow the cookies to be sent back to the server.
Second, the clock on the local machine must be accurate to within 30 minutes. When using the AOL browser, this is complicated slightly, as the browser maintains its own time zone, separate from the system time zone. Both must be accurate.
Finally, it may be that the account has been disabled. Contact support if you think that is the case.
Why is the change password button in Control Panel greyed out so I can't click on it?
Passwords are subject to a minimum level of complexity – this increases your security and will stop anyone from ever guessing your password.
Passwords need to meet these three criteria to be rated 'Good':
1) Be 8 characters long.
2) Contain at least one number.
3) Contain at least one special character (e.g. ! " £ $ % ).
The harder it is for someone to guess your password, the more secure it is. Try not to use personal information in your password (e.g. your date of birth, your anniversary, name of your significant other).
The best passwords are those which are randomly generated, but you may find these a little difficult to remember – try introducing a small random element to the end of your password, and make use of capitalisation in non-standard locations ( deCemBe2!&78 is a lot harder to guess than December78 and only marginally harder to remember).
Am I able to unlock multiple IP addresses for usage with FTP?
Yes, just insert them into a comma delimited list(e.g. 123.456.789.654,132.456.789.357).

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Ah, those were the days.
In a report released into the teeth of the gloomiest ad environment in a decade, ad tracker CMR said Tuesday that ad spending in 2000 grew better than 13 percent to $101.6 billion from $89.7 billion in 1999.
While that is sure to conjure up some nostalgic memories of the last millennium, the torrid double-digit growth rate was essentially a product of a robust first three quarters of the year. By the October-December period, the pace had slowed to just 6.1 percent and one medium -- cable television -- even suffered a nearly 4 percent decline.
On a full-year percentage basis, network radio took the 2000 crown as spending in the medium more than doubled -- from $463 million to $953 million, while big brother network TV remained the revenue leader with a 12.6 percent increase to $20.3 billion, edging out No.2 category newspapers, which climbed 6 percent on the year to $18.9 billion.
Magazines, probably suffering the worst in 2001's early going, can at least look back in pleasure: The No. 3 medium experienced 13.9 percent growth to reach $17.7 billion last year.
Internet ads also had a banner year, with online ads increasing 53 percent to $2.9 billion in 2000. While this figure is lower than virtually all of the other estimates of online spending, CMR is where the mainstream ad industry turns for numbers -- and some media buyers even think CMR is being generous.
While cable television grew by 30 percent in the first half of 2000, by the third quarter it had slipped back to 15 percent and actually fell by 3.9 percent in the fourth. This is particularly significant in that cable was noted for its strong growth curve even in the middle of the last economic downturn.
"The year 2000 was most certainly a banner one for advertisers, agencies and the media," noted CEO David Peeler in the CMR report. "The convergence of a robust economy, extraordinary dot-com spending, heated political ad campaigns, and the Olympics brought about the industry's greatest increase in six years. Of course, apprehensions of a possible recession were manifested in November and December, and we are certain to see that reserved spending trend continue in early 2001."
By product category, automotive manufacturers remained the king of the ad hill last year, boosting spending by nearly 5 percent to $8.8 billion to get Americans behind the wheel. Financial services came in second, with a 19 percent increase to $4.6 billion, followed by telecommunications providers at $3.9 billion.
Although it trimmed spending by 2.5 percent, General Motors GM, +0.51% maintained its position as the nation's leading advertiser with total spending of $2.9 billion last year. DaimlerChrysler DCX placed with $1.7 billion, a10.2 percent increase. Even with a 12.2 percent cut from 1999 levels, Procter & Gamble PG, +0.02% rounded out the top three with $1.5 billion.

This event has already occurred. You can see the full presentation here.
SDxCentral will be home to the upcoming Aricent DemoFriday on December 12th, where we'll take a look at optimizing development of Carrier Grade software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) solutions.
If you haven't noticed already, SDN and NFV are quickly becoming the go-to choice for deployment. With lower operational costs, simpler network management, faster provisioning, increased network security, and enhanced flexibility and scalability of the network, SDN and NFV provide use in a varying range of scenarios, including data center, enterprise, and carrier networks.
Nonetheless, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) still aren't too sure of the capital and operational expenditure for SDN integration. CSPs expect Communication Equipment Providers (CEPs) to create SDN and NFV solutions that are cost-efficient and can provide simple deployment. CSPs also want to make sure these solutions are feature-rich and customizable, and they want all of this without sacrificing high performance.
In this DemoFriday, Aricent experts will demonstrate optimization of the development of Carrier Grade SDN and NFV solutions. During the presentation, expect to receive insights into how existing networking solutions can be effortlessly converted into cloud based solutions that support both SDN and NFV.
Other interesting areas the Aricent DemoFriday will touch on include:
- Need for Carrier Grade SDN and NFV Solutions
- How to streamline the development of Carrier Grade SDN and NFV solutions, including migration of legacy networking products to SDN and NFV
- The various applications of SDN and NFV that can be leveraged to create solutions such as Virtual CPE (vCPE), OpenFlow switches, & Cloud EPC
- The typical ways I/O performance bottlenecks can be solved for NFV
- The various functionalities that are provided by leading open source platforms such as OpenDaylight and OpenStack which can be leveraged to reduce development cost and time

Why Florists Aren't As Bad As You Think
The Advantages Behind Purchasing Flower Arrangements or Bouquets on the Internet 1. Ease. The huge benefit with regards to purchasing flowers over the World Wide Web is the ease that is linked to it. You are able to send the flowers to someone without the necessity to leave your home is very enticing to a lot of buyers. All that it will take is that you just need to locate the flower shop of your choice and by doing some clicks for a couple of minutes then you can have your order delivered to someone. This is remarkable for those people who are working full time and don't have the luxury of time to go to a local floral shop and also for disabled or elderly people who are not able to get out of the house because of some difficulty. 2. Choice and time. Selection is another great benefit from purchasing flowers over the internet. While a lot of traditional local flower shops have great choices of flowers, it is probable to obtain just about any kinds as well as colors of arrangement on the internet. The reason for this is that the online flower retailers have a lot of connections from coast to coast and can definitely give the desire you have right away. In addition, you can also have your time and go through all of the flower selections during your leisure time once you start shopping in the internet. This is another great benefit. At times, when you visit a local flower shop, it seem like you are in a hurry. And this could lead to penitence and regret. On the other hand, if you consider shopping for flowers in the internet, then you can have all the time you want without any pressures in the world or limitation in time. 3. Delivery. A lot of the local flower shops will have to deliver the flowers to the person of your choice, on the other hand, they have a restriction as to how far they need to travel. But then again, if you will choose to purchase flowers on the internet, then are no limitations to the travel distance of the flowers and you can even deliver flowers across many countries. And also, the delivery times are very economical that you can have the flowers delivered to the receiver in an instant – about more or less 24 hours. A couple of bigger retailers on the internet have crafted their packaging so well that the flower can be shipped through UPS or Fedex, as a result, taking away the necessitate for a local delivery service.On Services: My Thoughts Explained

|Le jour se lève
Marcel Carné (France, 1939)
(Daybreak). One of the finest examples of French poetic realist cinema, Marcel Carné's fatalist classic offers up the dead ends, despair, and thwarted love of most American film noirs, with a mood-drenched romanticism contributed by poet Jacques Prévert and a sense of doom contributed by historical circumstances (it was one of the last French films made before Germany's invasion of France). Jean Gabin is an honest sod of a working man, barricaded in his boarding-house hovel with only some cigarettes, a gun, a teddy bear, and a dream of love while he waits for daybreak, and an inevitable police assault. How he got there, and how a dead man wound up in his stairwell, carries the plot. Daybreak that brings only an ending, and one character's realization that "memories aren't much use when you want to be made love to," are the true core of this atmospheric tale of romance and emotional isolation.
—Jason Sanders
• Adaptation, dialogue by Jacques Prévert, from an original script by Jacques Viot. Photographed by Curt Courant, Philippe Agostini, André Bac. With Jean Gabin, Arletty, Jules Barry, Jacqueline Laurent. (87 mins, In French with English subtitles, B&W, 35mm, From Institut Français, permission Rialto Pictures)

Professor Shi Jingxia Published Thesis on Services Trade Issues in China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement
Recently, Professor Shi Jingxia published an academic thesis,"Bridging the Gap between the Ideal and Reality: Services Liberalization in the China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement" in the SSCI journal, 'Asia Pacific Law Review' (Vol. 22, No. 1, 2014).
In this thesis, Professor Shi advocated that in the ongoing China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement negotiations, considering the importance of services and the opening up of the service market in global and regional trade agreements, services liberalization is a key issue that cannot be ignored. Professor Shi pointed out that in order to guarantee that trade benefits generated by opening services' markets will not be offset or diluted by other ongoing FTA negotiations involving Asia-Pacific countries (especially the Trans-Pacific Economic Partnership Agreement led by the U.S.),it is important that a relatively high quality liberalization level and regulatory framework should be designed in the field of services liberalization in the China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement.
The thesis focused on the reason why, inthe China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement negotiations, the three parties should pay attention to and pursue high-quality services to more effectively improve their service trade level. Then, the thesis focused on several key issues in services liberalization negotiations, including market access, listing methods, and regulatory discipline.
Professor Shi provided several suggestions on how to make up the distance between an ideal state and the reality of services liberalization that the three parties are facing. These suggestions arebased on the understanding of TPP, TTIP (Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement), TISA (GATS), US-Korean Free Trade Agreement and the latest services liberalization developments,and are expected to provide valuable reference points to the ongoing China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement negotiations.

Scorch @ Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh 12th May 2017
Amy McAllister plays Kes (the nickname she has given herself after watching the Ken Loach film of the same name), an adolescent girl who sees herself as a boy despite the two items that have suddenly erupted from her chest Alien-style. Her love of films also extends to Ryan Gosling. Not that she fancies him; rather she wants to be him. During her attempts to meet like-minded people on Meetup and through Skype, she starts chatting to another girl named Jules online and finds herself falling in love. Using her male persona she manages to get a chance to meet the latter face-to-face.
This one-woman play is based around various "gender fraud" court cases that have taken place around the UK in recent years. As such, it probes areas that are rarely touched by artistic mediums: gender identity, how it is formed during adolescent years, how popular culture feeds into it, and the prejudices related to it that - despite laudable efforts at counteracting them in recent years - still exist in parts of society.
Scorch, a play by Belfast-based company Prime Cut Productions, relies very much on Amy McAllister's performance, and she manages to grip the audience's attention like a vice. Mixing frantic monologues with occasional bouts of jerky dancing, her style might take a few minutes to fully accustom to but ultimately gets the boyish adolescent act down to a tee: excitable, hyperactive and gawkish. At times she establishes further intimacy and involvement with audience members by sitting down with them (in chairs marked "reserved") and even speaking directly to those next to her. The script is littered with references to video games, music, social media and movies - but these don't come across as self-conscious or wannabe-hip. Rather, they establish a collage of influences that bear upon Kes's life, through which she moulds her own specific identity.
Some credit is also due to the show's imaginative lighting effects (by Ciaran Bagnall) and sound design (by Carl Kennedy), again tying into the social media and popular culture references in an apt and atmospheric manner. It's an involving and unusual piece of theatre, well worth seeing.

The favored online game broadcasting service Twitch is bringing a slew of recent options to Microsoft's latest console. An replace subsequent month will add the flexibility to stay stream video video games, take part on video games with broadcasters, provoke recreation broadcasts with voice instructions, archive recreation clips and watch Twitch streams broadcast from any gadget, together with the PS4.

Nevertheless, the PS4 model of Twitch — which Shear famous was crafted by Sony, not Twitch — solely permits PS4 customers to spectate different PS4s and would not permit them to simply join.
"That is a really sure sort of expertise," stated Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's vice-president of promoting and technique for Xbox. "For us, we thought that was too limiting for what our followers would need. Our followers really need the total next-gen service, in order that's why we determined to take our time, do it proper and have it come out on this style."
Twitch, which options a million stay broadcasters and 45 million viewers a month, has change into an ESPN for players. The service's stay and recorded broadcasts embody such content material as comically narrated clips of video games, matches from seasoned e-sports athletes, "pace runs" — clips of gamers plowing by way of video games — and streams of on a regular basis players taking part in on-line.
"This may open up the social side of Xbox One in a brand new method," Mehdi stated. "The neighborhood of Twitch is big, and this enables us to sort into that, and albeit do one thing that is by no means been completed earlier than on consoles. You can broadcast to any gadget and eat anybody's broadcast from any gadget. It is a console expertise distinctive to the Xbox One."
Microsoft and Sony have each billed their newest consoles as extra social and interactive machines with no technological limitations to sharing stay recreation footage as a result of the PS4 and Xbox One, which respectively offered four.2 and three million models worldwide final 12 months, do not require further expertise like video seize to stream content material. It is in-built.
Twitch stated final month that 20 per cent of its broadcasts between Dec. 23 and Jan. three had been from PS4 homeowners and that greater than 1.7 million streams have been broadcast by way of PS4 for the reason that console's Nov. 15 launch.

African Americans and the British Empire Fight the U.S. Before Emancipation
365 pages
July, 2013
Many African Americans viewed Britain, an early advocate of abolitionism and emancipator of its own slaves, as a powerful ally in their resistance to slavery in the Americas. This allegiance was far-reaching, from the Caribbean to outposts in North America to Canada. In turn, the British welcomed and actively recruited both fugitive and free African Americans, arming them and employing them in military engagements throughout the Atlantic World, as the British sought to maintain a foothold in the Americas following the Revolution.
- "Now that the old feudal order is experiencing a resurgence with the assistance of wealth, a corporate media and official historians, Gerald Horne, one of our most original historians, reminds us of the alliance of Africans, Europeans and Native Americans that fought against its antecedent anachronism. In this brilliant, stunning book, Horne shows us how the issue of slavery still intrudes upon our national discussions."
—Ishmael Reed, John D. MacArthur Fellow
"Highly recommended."
—J.R. Wendland, CHOICE
"Horne's work provides readers with a new framework to imagine diplomatic relationships between world powers in the nineteenth century, something especially important as historians begin to blend racial, cultural, and social history with diplomatic history in an effort to globalize American history... Horne's meticulously researched monograph will provoke thought and discussion on the relationship between the peculiar institution and diplomacy in this important and growing field of study."
—H-Net Reviews
"Gerald Horne's book is a tribute to the international struggle of Africans for human dignity. It also reveals the unstated fears and unearths the historical justification in the souls of white folks—recognizing the institutional silence that this book aims to pierce."
—Black Agenda Report
"Although not the easiest read, Horne's book is a valuable contribution on a subject of profound interest and significance."
—Journal of American History
"Gerald Horne's Negro Comrades of the Crown is a major addition to this scholarship, principally because of its author's vast erudition. Horne is a remarkable researcher and goes deeper than anyone before into the minutiae of Anglo–American diplomatic relations on this vexed topic."
