New Mesh Headwraps are in the stores. I hope we get these. I have been looking for a Coal headband forever. I am so glad to see new colors in my favorite type of headband.
Untwisted Headbands
The ultimate blog for Lululemon Athletica fans. Photos, reviews, and news of the latest lulu.
I like the untwisted headband but I wish they made it more narrow like the slipless one. I have a small head but I can wear the untwisted one. I think the mesh one might cover my entire head. I am glad the headbands seem to coming out quicker than normal. I just bought the skinny satin pirouette one in Lolo and like it too. I might get in in oasis and black.

Get the scoop directly frome-learning's heroes.
Some think that a designer's own technical capabilities and intuitive beliefs are far more influential on the design of most training materials than any proven, research-based principles.(1) But even if it's totally natural to be guided by your skills and intuitions, how do you know whether they're leading you in the right direction?
With the prevalence of easy-to-use tools like Articulate Studio '13 and Articulate Storyline, nearly anyone can create training—even if they don't know how to design training. Which is why I think it's a good idea to know about the research-based guidelines for designing instructional materials that lead to better learning results.
Richard Mayer is a professor of psychology at the University of California who studies how to present information in ways that help people better understand it, including how to use words and pictures more effectively. He has spent over 25 years researching how the design of multimedia instruction—lessons containing words (printed or spoken) and pictures (illustrations, photos, animations, or video)—affects learning.
Mayer and his colleagues have established a number of guidelines for designing instructional materials that have been shown to improve learning. One of Mayer's guidelines for designing instructional materials is the multimedia principle, which simply says that people learn better from words and pictures than from words alone. (2)
In ten different studies, Mayer and his colleagues compared learning about various mechanical and scientific processes from lessons that used words alone to those that used words and pictures. In all ten, learners who took a multimedia lesson comprised of words and pictures performed better than those who received the same information only in words. On average, there was an 89% improvement in learning when pictures were included. (3)
Sounds like a good reason to get rid of lessons with nothing but screens and screens of text, right? Yes—but before you rush to fill your screens with pictures, note that not all pictures are equally effective. In some future posts, we'll look at a few more of Mayer's principles to learn the specifics of how to use visuals to improve learning.
In the meantime, you can learn more about the multimedia principle and the rest of Mayer's principles in "E-learning and the Science of Instruction: Proven Guidelines for Consumers and Designers of Multimedia Learning" (Public Library)

Nice post. I wonder, if you take this one step further, how this applies to motion, and moving graphics. In your example above, would the training more effective if those arrows were actually rotating clockwise? At what point do graphics no longer add to the effectiveness of instruction and instead begin to take away from it?

Good point JP. I'd say if the animations would strengthen the visual in a natural way it potentially could strengthen the experience e,g, the graph bars rising equally and then the green one bypassing it the way it does. Add the some dramatic background audio to bring the point home...
Posted Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 12:52 PM
And never forget the power of interaction with the learner... instructional designers need to also create some activity during eLearning to keep learner focused and engaged. But I also definitely agree that pictures/graphics add so much more learning retention to text based modules.

Those are some great points. There is some similar research on animations and sound also which I'm eager to share as well. Much of it is in Mayer & Clark's book too. I think it would be fun to take a poll and see where people land on those and how that compares to the research.

I've enjoyed the series of posts on visuals that Mike Taylor has put together--nice job. Mayer's book is on my list and is now even higher.
Here's a similar article demonstrating 25 effective tips for creating visuals in training. They're drawn from another book I highly recommend by Connie Malamed (Visual Language for Designers).

Agricultural Productivity and Economic Growth
AbstractIn most poor countries, large majorities of the population live in rural areas and earn their livelihoods primarily from agriculture. Many rural people in the developing world are poor, and conversely, most of the world's poor people inhabit rural areas. Agriculture also accounts for a significant fraction of the economic activity in the developing world, with some 25% of value added in poor countries coming from this sector. The sheer size of the agricultural sector implies that changes affecting agriculture have large aggregate effects. Thus, it seems reasonable that agricultural productivity growth should have significant effects on macro variables, including economic growth. But these effects can be complicated. The large size of the agricultural sector does not necessarily imply that it must be a leading sector for economic growth. In fact, agriculture in most developing countries has very low productivity relative to the rest of the economy. Expanding a low-productivity sector might not be unambiguously good for growth. Moreover, there are issues of reverse causation. Economies that experience growth in aggregate output could be the beneficiaries of good institutions or good fortune that also helps the agricultural sector. Thus, even after 50 years of research on agricultural development, there is abundant evidence for correlations between agricultural productivity increases and economic growth but little definitive evidence for a causal connection. This chapter reviews theoretical arguments and empirical evidence for the hypothesis that agricultural productivity improvements lead to economic growth in developing countries. For countries with large interior populations and limited access to international markets, agricultural development is essential for economic growth. For other countries, the importance of agriculture-led growth will depend on the relative feasibility and cost of importing food.

- This weekend, a 60-year-old lawyer in Trignac, France, attacked a fellow shopper, a 26-year-old Muslim woman, and ripped her body-covering veil off. Police say the woman made "snide remarks about her black burqa" before she flew into her "burqa rage" and ripped the veil off. The lawyer and her daughter then began physically fighting with the woman before all three were arrested. Currently, France is considering a ban on all body-covering veils for women, which has fanned the flames of racial tensions in the country. [Telegraph UK]
- A woman in Saudi Arabia beat up a religious policeman — or "virtue cop" — who stopped her in an amusement park for walking with a male friend. In Saudi Arabia, unmarried men and women are forbidden from socializing and are policed by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. Experts say the woman can now expect a prison term, lashing or both. [Daily Mail UK]

I strongly do not feel that is the correct answer. I feel getting the proper people into positions that have responsibility and accountability is still the answer as I tried to push for earlier this year. One of the main problems is good information about elections and bylaw changes did not go out to all paid members in a proper fashion. Because of this the selection of new board members was done without full memberships knowledge. This cut the pool of people that might be interested in a possible position to a small group and the voting also had it's problems. With proper people in place and properly run meetings maybe there could and would be more interest in accomplishing things. We have some serious issues in the group that need to be handled ASAP and should have never got to this point. It's time to get it all out there to all members and get back on proper track for good growth and image cleanup of our group to others. Let's lead the way by being the best, not talked about the most. If my opinions hurt or offend anyone maybe that is what is needed to wake people up and resolve our problems. Some say I am negative about things, so be it but it is only meant in a good way to try and make our sport in this area the best it can be. We have room to improve in my opinion. I believe my time and efforts in course improvement and talking our sport up should speak for themselves.
Let's pull together, listen to and respect each other, and try something new, old ways seem to have a few problems.

On Monday December 5, Embraer delivered the first U.S.-assembled Phenom 100 light jet from its new Phenom final assembly facility at the Melbourne (Fla.) International Airport to Kansas City, Mo.-based Executive AirShare. This milestone airplane marked the 18th Phenom jet to enter the fractional provider's fleet.
AIN Audiocasts
On Monday, December 5, Embraer Executive Jets officially opened its new 58,000-sq-ft Global Customer Center at the Melbourne (Fla.) International Airport. Customers from around the world will now come here to select colors, fabrics, paint schemes and options for all of Embraer's Phenom, Legacy and Lineage business jet models.
Gulfstream Aerospace is on final approach for certification of its wide-cabin G650. At the 2011 Dubai Air Show, AIN contributing editor James Wynbrandt caught up with Gulfstream president Larry Flynn to get the latest update on the ultra-long-range jet program, as well as the aircraft's manufacturer's view of the business jet market in the Middle East.
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association is viewed by many as mainly a U.S.-centric organization, but in reality it is global. In fact, GAMA held its first board meeting outside of the U.S. last Friday in Bordeaux, France. It also has a permanent representative in Brussels and is considering adding another in Beijing, GAMA immediate past chairman–and current Dassault Falcon Jet president and CEO–John Rosanvallon told AIN at the Dubai Air Show.
Fighting hunger isn't synonymous with the word "airshow," but the United Nations' World Food Program (WFP) is aiming to change that. At an exhibit booth at the 2011 Dubai Air Show, the WFP is promoting its humanitarian aid programs, as well as how aircraft helps it achieve these missions.
Days before the 2011 Dubai Air Show opens, the Middle East Business Aviation Association held a high-level roundtable in Dubai to talk about business aviation operational challenges in the Middle East. At the event, AIN caught up with MEBAA founding chairman Ali Al Naqbi, who highlighted the need for more business aviation infrastructure in the region.
Bucking the general trend in the business jet market, Embraer's light jets–the Phenom 100 and 300–continue to do well, so much so that they helped increase the company's market share from less than 4 percent in 2008 to almost 20 percent today. And with its upcoming midsize Legacy 450 and 500, it expects to continue grabbing even more market share.
Embraer has two in-development midsize jets–the Legacy 450 and 500–that will be in service by the end of 2013.
Convergent Performance CEO Dr. Tony Kern has spent much of his life seeking to improve human factors in aviation. So when the NTSB put "unprofessionalism" of flight crews on its "Most Wanted" list, Kern pledged to work to remove this from the list. And so he started the Aviation Professionals pledge and has set a goal of 10,000 signatories by next year.
Tomorrow is press day at the NBAA Convention, which opens on Monday in Las Vegas, and there are a staggering 22 press conferences scheduled bewteen 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

news - discography - myspace - itunes - spotify - lastfm - contact
Göteborg, 2013-04-07
Hi everyone,
I met a friend the other evening, he plays the guitar in an extremely good band. I really adore that band. Anyway, he asked me if I have a band for the moment, I responded a bit.. vaguely. To get to the point, he said: "You are to good not to have a band." This made me want to release something again. Thanks for that :-)
And I am writing new songs for the moment. At some points during the last round of writing and recording (Little ones Ep, We have the guts Ep etc) I felt some kind of pressure to take things a bit further... not to do everything myself, to bring in musicians and maybe a producer, make more "music"-music... start a band and maybe be successful. At other times I sometimes felt a pressure to be more experimental, to create strange recordings and beautiful sounds layered with the songs. Soundscapes, reverbs and filters. That is kind of my own backyard, since I have been doing a lot of that earlier in my life. I dont know why I felt theese "pressures", probably cause I thought that people who know my other stuff would be more comfortable with my songs maybe? Anyway: it felt too easy.
April Archives is about writing songs that concerns me, totally immune to change of time and preference. I write songs and I hope they find their way to someone that may like them and maybe wants to listen to them again. And then maybe once again. I like when a song is so full of beauty it is impossible to keep up any resistance or attitude, you just have to accept the immediate embrace. I like when a song is honest and hard and true, and most important: I like when a song is not really a song, more... like a breath. Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen do this sometimes, Sade and Frank Sinatra too. Joy Division almost always, exhausted and desperate mostly, but still like a breath. I like it when the melody fails to be a melody and becomes more of a... something. Or rather: when you feel that the melody w a n t s something more than i s something.
Anyway, now I am writing new songs and I feel like they need drums. Maybe I put a band together after all :-) About releasing new songs: it felt kind of lonely working it all myself last time. I am thinking of maybe try to find someone to help me with this matter. So, lets see what happens.. I am pretty sure it will work out just fine as soon as I (or we) start recording, things tend to fall into the right place when you least expect it. I am up for anything really :-)
Ok, more news to come later on!

Where do I find the registration key. I downloaded it but could not find the key without purchase.

Never mind. I figured it out. Thanks

It is a 30 day time trial. dont bite.
Robert Valiquette January 15th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
I downloaded it and let it run, and it did exactly what you said it would. It really cleaned up my machine. I have purchased cleaners and fixers, but they have never done a good job and my machine was still sluggish. But this one really cleaned it up and it is running as it did when I first purchased it in 2002. I am so happy with it I intend to purchase the license for the upgrade to the Pro version.
Thank you for this great tip, Jason.
LarryB January 20th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
You said "Full Licensed Version" FREE. Yet it will make a partial (very partial) repair. I have no doubt it's a good program, but YOU misrepresented it.

Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (DPS) agreed to repurchase the distribution rights for Snapple and several other noncarbonated beverage brands in parts of Asia-Pacific from Mondelez International Inc. (MDLZ).
Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Dr Pepper Snapple it will now have the rights to distribute Snapple in Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. The company also will have distribution rights for Mott's, Mr & Mrs T, Clamato, Mistic, Holland House and Yoo-hoo in Australia.
Dr Pepper Snapple doesn't expect the acquisition to have any material effect on its 2013 results.
The company, which reported a 2.4% increase in fourth-quarter earnings last month, has said it will spend $30 million this year to back a national launch of more low-calorie sodas. The beverage company has warned its earnings will take a hit this year as it tries to combat public criticism over sugary sodas.
Shares were recently trading unchanged at $43.78.

The first rule of surfing is to look at where you want to go, rather than at the angry merman climbing onto your board. Learn the second rule with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $50 for a two-hour introductory surfing lesson for one (a $100 value)
- $90 for a two-hour introductory surfing lesson for two (a $200 value)
The veteran instructors at University of Surfing tutor pupils on the basics of wave riding during two-hour introductory classes. After steadying board footing on land, students mount long-boards that help them to safely outsmart the ocean's waves and the air's wayward seagulls. Since classes are taught in shallow waters during low tide, instructors can accommodate students aged 5–70 who possess basic swimming skills. An included wetsuit and booties keep skin comfortable no matter the weather or water temperature. Classes are usually held on Saturday and Sunday, with some exceptions; click here for the full calendar.
University of Surfing
As the owner and operator of the University of Surfing, Matt Cole has transformed incredibly talented surfers into an accomplished team of instructors. From Kyla Langen, the 2012 Bud Light Lime Tour Champ, and her globe-spanning surf career to veteran teacher and decorated pro surfer Kevin Rhodes, students reap the benefits of the instructors' years of experience during two-hour introductory surfing lessons. In addition to these basic lessons, the staff also coaches intermediate surfers and offers private lessons, giving advice about paddling, proper standing technique, and proper burial technique for broken surfboards. The wave-loving group also hosts daylong and overnight camps that cover the deepest aspects of surfing.
University of Surfing is awesome. Matt is a very energetic instructor. He really took care of us when we were out in the water.thecat p., Yelp, 4/30/12
Fantastic! Kevin was a master. He took the time to teach us the science of waves and important safety tips before taking us in the water.Brian T., Yelp, 8/21/12

We spent several weeks trailing around the carpet shops in Doncaster and couldn't find anything cheap enough but of good enough quality. I came across the ad for Carpets for all in the Yellow Pages and gave them a call.
The bloke (Chris?) was really good - he wasn't full of sales patter, he just turned up with a wad of carpet samples and took some measurements. He gave us an exceptional price (worryingly low) and we paid a deposit, never knowing if we'd see him again!
But he was true to his word and his lads did a fantastic job of carpeting our house. They supplied all the rods etc, without charging any extra, and they did a few other little bits and bobs (cupboards etc) while they were there. The carpets are, as promised, really good quality and they look fantastic. We had a join in one section and I was worried it would look bad, but it's almost invisible.
I can't recommend this company highly enough. They get most of their trade through word of mouth and I can see why. Apparently the credit crunch has hit them a bit, and it would be a shame if things went pear shaped for them just because of the current financial situation. If you need carpets fitted, then shop around but definitely give these guys a call before you sign anywhere.

Design firms detail qualifications for church-courthouse conversion
COLONIAL HEIGHTS - City Council last night heard presentations from four firms for architectural and engineering services for the preliminary design of the adaptive reuse of the former Colonial Heights Baptist Church as a courthouse.
The firms each gave brief presentations on their experience and qualifications.
"You might want to get a comfortable seat, because this is going to be a while," Mayor Scott Davis said Tuesday night before the presentations began.
Acting City Manager William E. Johnson said that the number of firms to present had been shortened to four. He instructed council to provide him with a score for each firm as soon as possible after the meeting.
The four companies that presented Tuesday night included AECOM, BCWH, HVC-Chenault and Moseley Architects.
Each firm's presentation highlighted the firm's experience, working methods and some specific projects - specifically related to courthouses, renovation of historic structures or adaptive reuse projects.
After each presentation, council had an opportunity to ask questions, and after each presentation, Davis led off with questions regarding the Virginia Courthouse Guidelines.
The guidelines dictate specific requirements for the physical structure of the buildings. Each firm vouched for their familiarity with the guidelines and was able to name specific projects that they had worked on.
Charles Wray, principal with BCWH, though said that sometimes it isn't always necessary to follow those guidelines.
"I know them intricately," Wray said. "They are the standards of care for the courts."
But Wray said that in the end the guidelines are just that - guidelines. "You may have reasons to vary from that," Wray said. "We don't work to the minimum."
Wray said that on some designs his firm has departed from the guidelines - but never has the firm needed to talk between the local client and the National Center for State Courts.
No decision on a firm was made Tuesday night.

I'm going to try my best not to be online the next few days.
I may pop in occasionally to liveblog TLG or post SINF, but that's about it.
(more under cut because boring)
Today I have to get my house ready for the grandma, who's coming into town tomorrow. Only last night we found out she has a wheelchair we need to accommodate for. I might go to the movies tonight, too.
Friday is my Driver's Ed classroom exam, which I seriously need to study for.
And through all this I want to finish TLG.

Balancing Guru Bhakti and ISKCON values
In response to the continued need to educate new devotees in ISKCON about the pre-eminent position of Srila Prabhupada as our Founder-Acarya and the primary siksa guru for all ISKCON members,
It is resolved that: The Governing Body Commission recommends that all prospective disciples and aspiring initiates attend the ISKCON Disciple Course prior to their initiation, preferably before choosing an initiating spiritual master. Other members of ISKCON are also encouraged to take the course. Also, ISKCON leaders are requested to facilitate the course in their respective areas by encouraging senior devotees to become authorized to teach the course, and by sponsoring the course in their respective areas as it becomes available in the appropriate languages.
Lastly, in response to the fact that "official" and unofficial websites of ISKCON gurus currently do not, in large part, prominently feature the personality and teachings of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada as the Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
It is resolved that ISKCON gurus shall be responsible for ensuring that their own official web sites prominently feature a picture of Srila Prabhupada on the introductory page, credit Srila Prabhupada as the "Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness", and contain a brief summary of Srila Prabhupada's accomplishments and provide authorized website links to his teachings.
In response to above comment by Shyama Sundara Prabhu:
His Holiness Jayapataka Swami is one of the most loyal Srila Prabhupadaanuga. The Bangalore ritvik episode has nothing to do with His Holiness its entirely an concoction made up by Madhu pandit dasa. Just a clarification.

The Hammer said...
I'm not sure that making new character models will cause a huge rise in re-subscription numbers - it seems like a leap of faith to make another investment into an MMO because of something so superficial.
One of WOW's strengths has always been that whilst it's never looked stunningly detailed, the cartoon style isn't something that goes out of date easily. Contrast that with other MMOs that came out at the time - like Everquest 2 and Guild Wars - and WOW still has it. Now, I know of a few people who play WOW who really wouldn't benefit from a graphical overhaul. Since this is a specialist gaming website, full of the more hardcore type of fans, I'm willing to bet that people put more stock into PC maintenance and its associated factors than a lot of the user-base of WOW. So people here have better PCs, and know how to keep them chugging away better, too. Not everyone does.
The performance difference on my PC between Azeroth and Northrend is absolutely astonishing. I mean, in 2005, I used to lag, lag and lag in Ironforge, so much so that I'd fall in the holes in the middle of the circling corridors. Now it's all about the lag in Dalaran. Having an upgraded PC hasn't meant that I'm free of lag. It just means I'm free of lag back in the old world.
But if the entire place is being redesigned, then what then? I realize that Dalaran is a rather extreme example, but some of my worst lag is encountered whilst flying over Grizzly Hills. In some zones, you'll just hear people in /general or /guild or elsewhere saying "FFS, it doesn't stop lagging", and that's without the big 25man raids.
It's kinda cruel too, to suggest that WOW's graphics -aren't- in this decade. I mean, it's an MMO, right? MMOs, like RTSes used to be before DOW, are allowed to be a bit crappy in the graphics department. Because they're processing so much stuff, and they're meant to be as accessible as possible. Age of Conan's focus on high-detailed graphics didn't do it many favours in the end, did it? And it's worth pointing out what graphics used to look like last decade. Half Life being one of the games with better graphics? http://members.aye.net/~gharris/blog/halflife04.jpg Hmm?
One last factor is armour. That's already pretty good, and it's mostly what you see all the time anyway. Yes, the faces mightn't look great, but facial expressions are hard to get right for games anyway. Half Life 2 probably did them best out of games out now, and that was, what, 5 years ago? Either you get the plasticised stuff coming out of the Unreal engine, or the stiff-bodied RPG type you see in Dragon Age. I wonder even if WOW's engine could handle much of a difference in expression.
New character models WOULD be nice, but yeah, an on/off switch would be the best option - and failing that, trying to optimise them so it doesn't cause too much of an FPS decrease. Because having 50 or so people in a room together already kills PCs enough, thanks. :(
Faulken S Wulf said...
You know what, I never found the "If they update all the models, we'll lag real bad" argument plausible.
Here's why: I can tell no difference in lag between running around with 30-60 blood elves, and running around with 30-60 tauren, in similar settings (I RP character of both races in "family" guilds... thus the comparison).
I don't think Guild Wars is a very good comparison, to me it's better than Warcraft graphically in every way - and that's without even mentioning what GW2 is showcasing, which puts GW1 to shame.
Now, you could say that WoW has a better art style, sure - but from a technological standpoint there's just no way it will match GW or Aion without a complete graphics engine overhaul. Hell, when I can play Aion and get a faster framerate in Pandaemonium (the Asmodian city) than I can in Dalaran, you know there's something severely wrong.
The Hammer said...
@Tim: Yeah, I get that. I was more railing against a complete overhaul than anything else. But once again, PCs are notoriously broad machines. What works on yours might not work on somebody else's. It's worth considering that.
@Shawn: Yeah, Guild Wars was just sommit I plucked from the hat. Though great graphics from a technical standpoint is never Blizzard's aim. Look at Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. Neither are better technically than games that came out even two years ago. Though GW2 is irrelevant in this case, given that it's a game that hasn't even been released yet. When you've still got people playing Counter Strike 1.5, and in large numbers, in an era of MW2 and L4D, should WOW really be attempting to compete technologically? For what reason?
Interesting note about Dalaran's performance next to Aion, though. Presumably Aion's cities are better optimised and rely on different hardware.
I guess what it comes down to is that old argument of art style vs
technology. Personally, I'm a fan of the art style of WoW, but I'm
also of the opinion that eventually you have to upgrade the graphics
form a technological standpoint, because the game will look so
horribly dated in time that even games with lesser art direction will
look better. And I believe that's the case with WoW now. It doesn't
need to compete with Aion, but to drag back the GW reference, even if
it was on par with Guild Wars 1 while retaining the same art style, it
would be enough to breathe some life into the game and make it last
alongside GW2 and Aion in the future, (and/or until Blizzard's "next
gen" MMO comes out).
I admit graphics aren't, and shouldn't be, the main draw of a game,
but when one of the most common complaints I hear about Warcraft when
I try to get other (gw players) to play with me is that they're unable
to justify paying monthly for a game which has such dated graphics and
virtually non-existent character customization. Though the bashing is
usually not on the race models themselves, but mostly on the lack of
detail on the armors, along with the inability to dye it different
colors to have some semblance of a matching set
The Hammer said...
The armour dye was a lovely feature of GW when I played it (before WOW, in fact!), definitely.

The Arkansas Capital Corporation Group (ACCG) is a privately held group of for-profit and non-profit corporations dedicated to improving the lives of Arkansans.
The Arkansas Capital Corporation Group and its affiliate companies empower entrepreneurs by providing capital to businesses through its capital availability programs and advocating for entrepreneurs through capital, educational and technological improvements. ACCG serves as the platform from which new opportunities are launched and today includes eight affiliates including Arkansas Capital Corporation (ACC), Six Bridges Capital Corporation (6BCC), Arkansas Capital Relending Corporation (ACRC), Arkansas Economic Acceleration Foundation (AEAF), Diamond State Ventures (DSV), Heartland Renaissance Fund (HRF), Connect Arkansas, and Pine State Capital (PSC).
Company History
The Arkansas Capital Corporation Group, then named First Arkansas Development Finance Corporation (FADFC), was formed in 1957 by influential individuals and most of the state's utilities. The company was formed to provide a mechanism for financing the state's transformation from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy.
Since its founding, the company has diversified and grown, to include commercial financing needed for the information age. Along the way, ACCG has made hundreds of loans, representing projects of well over $500 million.
The article below by one of Arkansas Capital Corporation's founders, Herbert L. Thomas, Sr., was first published in the Winter 1960 edition of The Arkansas Economist, a publication of the University of Arkansas' College of Business Administration.
First Arkansas Development Finance Corporation History by H. Thomas – 1960
Mission Statement
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat". – Theodore Roosevelt
"It is the commitment of The Arkansas Capital Corporation Group to support in every way possible the work of those mentioned by President Theodore Roosevelt, for in a capitalistic system, if we do not nuture these individuals, we do not have a system that is sustainable. At The Arkansas Capital Corporation Group, we are committed to supporting these individuals in every possible manner that we can. We are not their detractors, and we do not recognize or respect those who are." - C. Sam Walls, Chief Executive Officer

There's a good reason for the new-car smell of the Merlin Simulation Pro Series Sikorsky 300C (nee Schweizer 300C) advanced aviation training device (AATD) the company is demonstrating at Heli-Expo. The device received FAA approval at the beginning of this month and the one here was just built. The unit used for approval is already with flight-training school Rotors of the Rockies in Colorado. Three more are on order.
The UK Ministry of Defence is spending more than $1.35 billion to upgrade the Merlin Mk 1 large maritime helicopter which has been operational for less than five years. The upgrade is necessary because the Merlin has been so long in development that its computer systems have become obsolete. It also signifies a determination to maintain helicopter systems engineering skills in the UK.
M7 Aerospace has announced an "M7 Merlin" program through which it will extensively refurbish an executive Fairchild Merlin in the same San Antonio 426,000-sq-ft factory facility where it was originally built.

Once again Arkansas State running back Michael Dyer faces an uncertain future in college football after the Arkansas Stet Police released a 559-minute video of his 10th March arrest. With that, the Arkansas State Police have launched an investigation into the Michael Dyer's arrest after new evidence surfaced indicating that Trooper Royce Denney may have attempted to cover-up more severe charges against the 21-year-old.
The Arkansas State Police have not released its findings into the case, citing that the investigation consists of personal matters relevant with the Royce Denney.
Michael Dyer had been ticketed by Royce Denney for over speeding with 96 mph in a 70 mph zone. But audio and video footage from the incident indicates that Michael Dyer had been stopped by Royce Denney for possession of marijuana and a handgun. Michael Dyer was accompanied by an unidentified female and it is unclear at this stage whether the marijuana belonged to her or the running back.
However, it is evident from the footage that Royce Danny, who was counseling Michael Dyer into the alternate methods of dealing with the arrest was concerned about the "NCAA crap" and the consequences of the arrest on the running back's career.
"What if I talk to (coach) Gus Malzahn, or however you say his name?" Royce Denney offers as a suggestion at some point in the footage of Michael Dyer's arrest. "I really don't want to tell him about this because of the NCAA crap. I know there's a lot of stuff that goes on behind closed doors between coaches and players…"
The conversation takes off towards the best approach to handle the situation with the "weed." Royce Denney asks Michael Dyer if it will be "all out of your system" within a month.
However, the discovery of the handgun infuriates Royce Denney, who questions Michael Dyer's choices.
"You don't need it," says Denney. If you think it makes you look cool, you're stupid…It pisses me off that someone of your stature and your ability does this kind of stupid (expletive)."
Royce Denney offers to hold Michael Dyer's gun so that it can't be traced back to the running back, to which Michael Dyer agrees. Royce Denney further talks about taking Arkansas State coach Gus Malzahn into trust so that his advice can also be heard.
"I didn't say keep it," Royce Denney says. "Maybe we can get together some other time, and you can have it back after me and coach talk."
"I'm going to let coach make the decision ," adds Royce Denney. "If he wants me to keep it, I'll keep it. If he wants me to get it delivered to him, I'll get it delivered to him or whatever."
The Arkansas State Police suspended Royce Denney from patrol duty following the discovery of the evidence. It is still unclear if Gus Malzahn was ever contacted by Trooper Royce Denney.
However, it is easier to put together the pieces now since everything is out in the open. Gus Malzahn who recruited Michael Dyer from Auburn following the running back's suspension on team unspecified violations, took a similar action by dismissing him during the weekend.
"I am truly disappointed that it didn't work out here at ASU for Mike," Gus Malzahn said in a press release. "I wish Mike nothing but the best in the future."

To Become Bigger, Become More Agile...
As the largest social security organisation in the world, [SIC serves 14.3 million worker family units, over 55.5 million beneficiaries and more than 4.6 lakh employers under the ESI Scheme. The Scheme provides Insured Persons and their dependants with world-class, need-based healthcare benefits, along with various cash benefits, at the cost of a small contribution from his wages. Today, ESIC's network of healthcare facilities, spread across the length and breadth of the country, is considered to be one of the largest in the world:
• 149 ESI hospitals and 42 hospital annexes
• 1402 ESI dispensaries and 1540 panel clinics
• 610 Branch Offices and 187 Pay Offices
• 7301 Medical Insurance Officers...
To Ensure Convenient Service Delivery, Innovate... Today, India's economic scenario remains on a healthy course and more employees and employers are coming under ESI scheme as never before. The number of transactions between employees, employers, [SIC and concerned banks, hospitals, dispensaries and other empanelled healthcare centres, which runs into millions every month, is growing faster everyday. The demand for more convenient and efficient delivery of healthcare services on the one hand, and the internal need to streamline, inter-connect operations and enhance efficiency of operations on the other, all made its necessary to utilise the power of Information & Communication technology.
To Enhance Efficiency of Operations, Click!
Thus was born the idea of "Panchdeep," a multi¬tasking, multi-location and multi-faceted IT-enabled ERP-cum-Beneficiary-centric system, that was undertaken by M/s Wipro Technologies for further development and implementation. Starting as a humble pilot project in a couple of centres, Panchdeep is an online nationwide network of [SIC facilities andservices, effectively bringing ESIC to the citizen's desktop.
Project Panchdeep comprises five distinct parts, each of which plays a crucial role in bringing the Corporation and its services closer to its stakeholder, with a click of the mouse:
• Pehchan
Services related to identification, authentication and verification of IPs and their family members
• Pashan
Services related to hardware for data centre, disaster recovery, desktops/ PCs/ laptops/ printers and middleware
• Dhanwantri
Services related to IT support and Medical Information System for the hospitals and dispensaries
• Pragati
Services related to ERP modules — Finance, HR, Legal, Procurement, Health Insurance and DMS. All employers related processes through e-Forms
• Milap
Services related to provision of networking and bandwidth. As all processes and institutions of ESIC have been computerised and inter-connected under Panchdeep, compliance has become easier for employers and the benefits more convenient to access for employees.
For Employees After duly capturing the data of each IP and his family members, two biometric identity cards are issued -- one for his family members and the other for himself,
through which the IP and his dependants can avail of healthcare and cash benefits from anywhere, anytime, even if they are living at different locations. The IPs can also check their contribution status and can avail ESI scheme benefits at their convenience. Around 80 lakhs cards already issued to the IPs and beneficiaries For Employers For employers, Panchdeep has been a big boon as they can sit in the comfort of their homes or offices and avail all ESIC services, instead of physically going to ESIC premises.
They can:
• Register their companies under the ESI Scheme online
• Register their employees under the Scheme
• Generate and take print-out of challans for payment at designated banks
• Generate and take print-out of Temporary Identity Card (TIC), Acknowledgement Slips, and other data
• Pay contributions online (under implementation)
• Monitor health records of employees
• Update employee/ employer data and other documentation.
Automatic Maintenance of Form-6 Register
All returns, information like Accident Report, Annual Information Returns, etc. can now be conveniently filed online. Employers can register their companies and employees from anywhere anytime using the following steps: -

• Existing employers can obtain Login User ID and Password by applying online, or
• Through written request — the Login User ID and Password will be sent to their e-mail address or postal address through Speed Post.
More Convenient Registration for New Employers Now there is no need to send any application in hard copy and then wait for the allotment of Code No.
• Log on to www.esic.in
• Click Employer Registration link to reach Employer Registration For 01
• Fill up the form properly
• Upload scanned copies of documents (Voter ID Card, Passport, PAN, Certificates, etc.)

contributions of the employer and employee
• You may print a challan to pay at the designated bank through cash/ Cheque/ Demand Draft
• Automatic maintenance of Form 06, providing monthly wages and contributions paid/ payable Six monthly returns of contributions not necessary
• Entitlement/ other details of each IP is available for all ESI hospitals and dispensaries.
Benefits of Project Panchdeep
• One card accepted at all ESI hospitals and dispensaries
• Card and Insurance No. remain valid even after change of employer

Spreading Awareness About the Benefits of Panchdeep amongst the stakeholders Even though Panchdeep has been implemented almost fully in all the centres, some employers may still find the online experience a bit unnerving due to their unfamiliarity with computers. However, such employers don't have to worry as there is help available:
• ESIC officers are there to help employers and employees who wish to use the system
• Panchdeep Help Desks at ESIC offices, hospitals and dispensaries
• Panchdeep Support Teams help employers familiarise themselves with the system
• Conferences and seminars for ESIC staff, employers and other stakeholders
• Process of registration, payment of contributions, etc. can also be done the old fashioned way. However, after a while it would become mandatory to do so online.

Illegal fishing harming fish stocks, livelihoods in Sierra Leone
<img src="http://gantdaily.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/cd3d0_ (IRIN) – Fishing communities in Sierra Leone have been hit hard by illegal and unregulated fishing off the West African coast. Unsustainable local fishing practices and the activities of foreign trawlers engaged in so-called "pirate fishing" have led to a significant decline in fish stocks in Sierra Leone, environmental groups and local officials say.
Despite a recent clamp-down on illegal fishing, local fishermen say their catches have been reduced drastically since the onset of the country's 11-year civil war which ended in 2002. Samuel Bangura, the harbour master at Tombo fishing village on the Freetown peninsula, voiced concern over the current state of fishing in Sierra Leone.
"Boats are having to go further and further out to catch fish… In the'80s we used to just take five gallons of fuel, now we take up to 40 gallons, and sometimes the boats don't come back until past midnight."
A recent drive by UK-based Environmental Justice Foundation and other organizations to combat pirate fishing in Sierra Leone has had some success. "Before, pirate fishing was rampant, but now most of the vessels have left the inshore exclusion zone," said Victor Kargbo, head of the country's Fisheries Protection Unit.
But local fishermen also complain of unsustainable fishing methods used by fellow artisanal fishermen. These include the use of dynamite and illegal "draw-chain" fishing with fine-meshed nets, a practice said to devastate juvenile fish populations.

Honor Bound #7: Empire and Honorby W E B Griffin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Griffin?s Honor Bound novels have been hailed as ?terrific? (Newark Star-Ledger) and ?immensely entertaining? (Kirkus Reviews), with ?enough derring-do, romance and action to satisfy Griffin?s legions of fans and bring him new ones? (Rocky Mountain News). The new book is his best yet. August 6, 1943: In his brief career in the Office of Strategic Services, twenty-four-year-old Cletus Frade has already been involved in a lot of unusual situations, but nothing like the one he?s in now, standing with a German lieutenant colonel named Wilhelm Frogger in a Mississippi prisoner-of-war detention facility. Frade?s job? To help Frogger escape.
Frogger?s parents are in Frade?s custody in Argentina, because of their involvement in a secret German plan to establish safe havens for senior Nazi officials in South America, and the younger Frogger has agreed to help find out what they know. Even more important, however, is the secret within the secret. Before he was captured in Africa, Frogger was part of a conspiracy; its goal: to assassinate Adolf Hitler. If the OSS can use his knowledge and connections to nudge that plot along, even just a little bit? they may be able to end this war right now. But Frade is not the only one who knows about the Froggers. Even as he stands there in Mississippi, a troop of Germans and Argentinians, led by a Colonel Juan Perón, is on its way to kill the parents and, after them, Frade himself. His career in the OSS may have been brief?but it may just be about to be over. Filled with the special flair that Griffin?s fans have come to expect, The Honor of Spies is another rousing adventure from one of our finest storytellers.
"Bestseller Griffin's seventh Honor Bound book, co-written with son Butterworth like the previous entry, 2011's Victory and Honor, continues the series' tradition of bringing espionage's shadow wars to vivid life. Though WWII is over, the pressure on OSS Lt. Col. Cletus Frade is not, due to Operation Phoenix, a long-festering Nazi contingency plan against wartime defeat that aims to establish South American bases from which to launch the Reich's resurrection. U.S. intelligence becomes concerned that U-boats are bringing weapons-grade uranium to conspirators waiting in Argentina to carry on Hitler's legacy. Frade launches a covert op, which Truman 'could not have ordered' (to preserve plausible deniability), to prevent the makings of a nuclear weapon from reaching the wrong hands. The pages fly by as the authors mix action and intrigue with a fascinating look at Juan Perón and the Argentina of 1945. Agent: Robert Youdelman." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

October 1945. The war is over. The OSS has been disbanded. But for Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS, the fight goes on
In the closing months of the war, the U.S. made a secret deal with Reinhard Gehlen, head of German intelligences Soviet section. In exchange for a treasure trove of intelligence on the Soviets and their spies within the U.S. atomic bomb program, Gehlens people would be spirited to safety in Argentina.
Only a handful of people know about the deal. If word got out, all hell would break loose—and the U.S. would lose some of the most valuable intelligence sources they possess. It is up to Frade and company to keep them safe.
But some people have other ideas....
The dramatic new novel in Griffin's New York Times- bestselling chronicle of the Philadelphia police force.
There's a sudden spike in murders in Philadelphia, but no one seems to mind much because the victims all seem to be lowlifes. The more Homicide Sergeant Matthew Payne investigates, however, the more he gets a bad feeling-one that only gets worse when vigilante groups spring up claiming credit for some of the hits, even though Payne knows it can't be true. As the targets get bigger and events start moving out of control, Payne realizes that if he and his colleagues can't figure out who's behind this very soon, the violence could overtake them all.
Filled with authentic color and detail, this is a riveting novel of the men and women who put their lives on the line-storytelling at its absolute best.
