Editor`s review: 3D Aqua Slider
AquaSlider is a pack of wonderful 3D games - Gem Slider & Pyramid Slider.
The goal of both games is to remove all the gems from the board. Each of the games has 4 modes:
- Unicolor: The gems at the sides of the board are of the same color.
- Quadcolor: The gems at each side of the board are of different colors.
- Smart mix: The next color to come is shown but it will come only to the side
of the board from which you slide.
- Advanced mix: The next colors are shown for each side but the color changes
only at the side from which you make a move.
In the beginning the game board is half-filled with gems of different colors. You can slide the
gems that are on the borders of the field. Match four or more gems together and they disappear. Each board side shows the next color of gems to come.
What's in the registered game:
* AUTOSAVE option is available - you can save your game at any moment (not only if you quit the game but also if you change the game mode).
* All the levels are available
* The 'Buy Me' nag screen does not bother you
* You can publish your best results and take part in the top players contest on the Web
* free technical support by e-mail
* When changing the games, the game you played is saved on the disk and can be loaded then again (there is PICK A GAME window where you can change the game)

Teaball Teapot
From our archives (originally published February 18, 2010), for your gift list consideration… to see more, visit our Gift Guide.
As a self-proclaimed tea junkie, it's difficult to describe just how important certain tools in the tea making process can be. If you're dealing in loose tea, some infusers can be irritating in that they're hard to clean, and if they're hard to clean, you'll probably get fed up and not use them anymore (which is the case with several infusers in my top kitchen drawer at the moment). Now, this Teaball Teapot not only looks easy to clean, but it looks extremely nice to hold and use, and I'd say that's almost as (if not more) important.

Tech-forward Design
A silicone-cast brain that registers electromagnetic signals; a piece of clothing that appears to be lined with flying butterflies; and a foot-controlled joystick that moves an artificial limb are among the futuristic projects designed by students in Human + Computer, a workshop series taught by three grad students from the MIT Media Lab.
Spearheaded by Ryan Mather 15 ID, a founding member of the RISD STEAM group, the Wintersession workshop series is the latest in the ongoing events the student org sponsors to illustrate the importance of STEAM, a national movement that encourages the integration of art and design into STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math).
For the last three weeks, 14 students from RISD, Brown and MIT have been working together to design and make innovative devices while learning cutting-edge technical skills in electronics, digital fabrication and programming. For instance, Melody Cao 16 ID and her teammates repurposed a mouth puppet (below) bought at a flea market to "speak" phonemes when it's squeezed or blown into.
Mather is constructing a "smart scarf" that senses the heart rate, location and temperature of a child so that a parent or guardian can monitor this information. Cynthia Liu MFA 15 DM (in top photo) and a team of engineers used an open-source electronics prototyping platform to rig a robotic arm and are now developing ways to connect the device to a wireless remote control.
Joshua Bohar MArch 16 and his group built Thinking Cap, a wearable headpiece that registers brain waves through an EEG, which light up LEDs embedded in a rubber model of an (anatomically correct) brain. "Not only are we mapping neural activity, but we're displaying it – in real time – to an audience," explains Bohar.
Curious to find out more? A small exhibition featuring the students' illuminating projects will open on February 15 at 7 pm at Exposé, RISD's student-run gallery.

If a bright red patch appears on the white of your eye, without any other symptoms like pain or impaired vision, it's probably just a broken blood vessel, known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage. The eye turns red due to a hemorrhage of a tiny blood vessel underneath the conjunctiva. A jarring blow to the head can cause hemorrhage. It can also result from anything that puts too much pressure on these fragile blood vessels, such as uncontrolled blood pressure, childbirth, weight lifting, intense coughing, vomiting, or even sneezing. Luckily, this is one condition that looks much worse than it really is. The blood will slowly be absorbed, and the eye will heal itself within one to three weeks. However, if the blood on the white of your eye does not subside, or is accompanied by other symptoms, it's best to see an ophthalmologist. He or she can determine what's causing the problem, and suggest appropriate treatment.
In addition to offering an extensive array of general ophthalmology treatments, such as subconjunctival hemorrhage evaluation and treatment, glaucoma surgery and presbyopia treatment, Dr. Weingarten specializes in refractive surgery. Over the years, he has become renowned as a foremost Detroit and Rochester LASIK eye surgery specialist who uses advanced surgical techniques to deliver the best possible results for all patients. Dr. Weingarten also performs cataract surgery in Detroit, as well as offers comprehensive eye exams.

Journal of Healthcare Engineering accepted into MEDLINE
Multi-Science Publishing Co Ltd is pleased to announce that its title, Journal of Healthcare Engineering has been accepted for inclusion into MEDLINE.
Commented Director Bill Hughes, "We are pleased that this journal, now just beginning its fourth volume, has been so soon accepted by MEDLINE. This is, I believe, a reflection of the exceptionally high standards the editor, Professor Chyu of Texas Tech University, has been able to maintain. And that he has been able to be so selective about what he chooses to include itself demonstrates the need for this journal to have been called into existence. In scholarly publishing, as in so many other activities, small independent organisations are far better at spotting market gaps or imperfections and doing something about them, than are the markets behemoths.
Some three quarters of our journals are now in one or more of ISI, Scopus and MEDLINE. To a degree, this is a pleasing validation of our work. But what is more interesting has been the noticeable increase, over the last decade, in the willingness of organisations of this sort to recognise the existence of small publishers; to acknowledge that while much of their output is necessarily niche, it is not without intrinsic value: that, in effect, there is more to worth than can be captured by the crudeness of an Impact Factor".

Bill Hughes +44 1277 224632
Multi-Science Publishing is pleased to announce that another of its titles,
International Journal of Aeroacoustics, is now in ISI's Science Citation
Index (Engineering).
Commented Multi-Science Director Bill Hughes: "this kind of third party
validation of our journals is always welcome. The International Journal of
Aeroacoustics is a particularly strong title. Its the only peer reviewed,
English language journal devoted to Aeroacoustics - another instance of our
long-term policy of not creating 'yet another' journal on any given topic,
but filling necessary gaps in the literature. And Aeroacoustics is a subject
whose importance is only going to grow as public, therefore political,
pressure mounts to demand research-led solutions to the noise of aircraft. I
hope this recognition by ISI will help communicate a sense of this journal's
worth and importance to the academic community." The International Journal
of Aeroacoustics is also listed in SCOPUS.

2011 Package Gathering Momentum
Virginia Commonwealth University, Curtin University of Technology and Taiwans National Cheng Kung University are among the latest additions to the growing list of research institutions that have signed up for Multi-Science Publishings 2011 Special Package, a collection of 27 peer reviewed journals plus backfile, concentrating on engineering/applied science.
Comments Multi-Science Director Bill Hughes, "Libraries like this product because were good at creating unique content there are, for example, no other journals devoted to aeroacoustics, or low frequency noise, or structural fire engineering, apart from ours. So acquiring this package, along with the backfile, gets libraries instant databases on topics where whatever other information there is, is widely scattered and hard to find. Other titles are attracting interest because of the way policy drives research. For example, we have been publishing Wind Engineering continuously since 1977, for years it was the only peer reviewed journal, anywhere, on the technological aspects of wind energy; suddenly, wind power research is being heavily funded by governments around the world so this journal and its backfile is now essential for many research libraries. And a number of our titles add value because of their interdisciplinary nature: the Journal of Healthcare Engineering, International Journal of Emerging Fluid Sciences are used by researchers across a number of different departments and departmental libraries, at no extra cost. In fact the licence for the 2011 Special Package allows usage of content across all departments and all sites of an institution, and off-campus too. And on the subject of cost, as a privately owned company, we dont have to profit maximize for the shareholders benefit. We can carry on doing what we have been doing for the last 50 years, facilitating the flow of information among scholars at the lowest feasible cost so at less than $5000 for 27 peer reviewed titles plus backfiles, this offer surely ticks the box for affordability, to say the very least."

MULTI-SCIENCE'S 50th ANNIVERSARY
2011 sees the 50th anniversary of the founding of Multi-Science Publishing by Bernard Hughes. Present Director Bill Hughes comented: "It is no mean achievement to have kept a business going, and still entirely in family hands, for 50 years. What success we have had, however, is entirely due to the support of the research community over the last 50 years."
"So to acknowledge that support, I'm making the research community the best possible offer I can for 2011: our collection of 27 peer reviewed journals at exceptionally low cost - in fact, a 56% discount of 2010 list price. With low cost comes high quality. Some of our titles are unique: there is no other journal devoted to building acoustics, except ours of that name; no other journal publishes solely on aeroacoustics apart from our International Journal of Aeroacoustics. Quite a few of our titles used to be super-niche, now they're mainstream: until recently wind energy was hardly a topic of research interest, even though we'd been publishing Wind Engineering since 1977; now its a hot topic, and subscribing to the collection includes the 10 year backfile of this title online, an instant database. Likewise, our long established environmental noise titles find themselves in the mainstream as political pressures have translated into research funding, and subscribers will benefit from access to their backfile. Our newer titles introduce readers to exciting areas such as protective structures, micro air vehicles, structural fire engineering. And our feel for coming developments in interdisciplinary research gives subscribers access to new, growing areas like emerging fluid sciences, multiphysics, and healthcare engineering".
"The collection offers high quality, innovative titles, ideal content for universities with a strong science/applied science bias, and priced with affordability in mind - our way of thanking the research community for its 50 years of supporting us."

Following the successful launch of seven new titles in 2009, Multi-Science Publishing now announces six further titles for 2010, taking its title list up to 32. The 2010 new titles are: International Journal of Protective Structures; Journal of Structural Fire Engineering; International Journal of Ocean & Climate Systems; Journal of Healthcare Engineering; International Journal of Micro Nano Scale Transport; and International Journal of Hypersonics.
Commented Multi-Science Director Bill Hughes, "Watching research patterns develop in increasingly interdisciplinary ways, and seeing the emergence of new research interests, commits us, as publishers, to create fora where academics can communicate with others whose research interests are as closely aligned to their own as possible. Study after study has shown that this is a key academic requirement and our success has been built around meeting that requirement.: in many areas we publish the only English-language journal wholly serving a particular subdiscipline.
Not only do we create useful conduits through which scientific communication can purposefully flow, we remove potential obstacles to communication. Our journals are anyway realistically priced - easily affordable even on the subscription model - and, through pioneering consortia deals such as Knowledge Exchange and the ALPSP-CRKN agreement, can be available to university libraries at really low prices. The next step is to marry the goal of even wider access, beyond academia, with the fundamental need for the sustainability of the publishing model. In 2010, we expect to be making some radical proposals in that respect."

Multi-Science Publishing & Professional Golfers Association licence
Multi-Science Publishing Co Ltd has announced that it has signed a licence with the UK's Professional Golfers Association (PGA) whereby PGA members will have unrestricted online access to the International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching, The Annual Review of Golf Coaching series, and the Sports Science Handbook, from 2010.
Commented Kyle Phillpots, PGA's Director of Training and Education, "Professionalising coaching in this country comes in part through coaches being able to use high quality, peer reviewed materials of this sort. Organisations like the PGA can play a great role in coach development by making it possible for our members to have access to this material at no cost to themselves. Empowered coaches are better coaches!"
Bill Hughes, Multi-Science's Managing Director, said "Understanding that authoritative, peer reviewed research can have a role outside of academia, and finding innovative ways to exploit licensing opportunities, will be what distinguishes successful publishers in these difficult times. With the economic climate in turmoil, and the publishing business model under pressure from all sides, doing 'more of the same' is no answer to anything. Commercial considerations aside, I am delighted that, through the PGA, its members will be able to use our content. While the resources freely available on the internet are, at best, better than nothing, at worst they are positively misleading. If people, in whatever way engaged in teaching and learning can have, at no cost to themselves, access to materials whose quality and completeness is not in question, that is a great step forward. I congratulate the UK PGA on having the courage to make this ground-breaking agreement".
Late stage talks are also taking place with the US Fencing Coaches Association, and Australian Field & Track.

An interesting thread developed in response to my post yesterday on Pappy Red's BBQ – a well established Cumming barbecue restaurant that recently set up shop on Chattahoochee Ave. (The sign reads "P. Red's BBQ").
My 13-year-old daughter, who is very attuned to issues of justice and wrongdoing, was offended by all the representations of Native Americans in the decor — lots of stern-faced chiefs in headdresses. She was so incensed that she wanted to talk to the owners. I dissuaded her with a "maybe next time" as we were in a bit of a hurry.
I mentioned this exchange in the comments section, and a couple of readers responded that I should have let her express her offense.
What do you think? Have you ever gone to a restaurant and been put off by racial or cultural stereotyping in the decor?
October 13th, 2010
12:06 pm
It's not too late! Someone better get on to these guys for racial stereotyping as well: http://festivals.stonemountainpark.com/mini-section/default.aspx?id=41
Last I checked, a lot of "Native Americans" were pretty proud of their stern faces, feathered headdresses and heathen dancing to drums… (I've got some of that blood in me and I'm more put off by bad barbecue than I ever would be by a wooden Indian)
October 13th, 2010
12:16 pm
Unless the representations are truly despicable, I would tell your daughter to lighten up or she will be perpetually offended by the Mexican restaurants that are adorned with velvet paintings of bullfighters and men in sombreros, and the Chinese restaurants chock full of Buddhas and palace girls wrapped in silk, and the Japanese steakhouses festooned with geisha girls and Noh dancers and the German beer halls with their tankards featuring lusty frauleins and dudes in lederhosen. There are way too many real injustices in this world to get worked up about rather than tacky restaurant decor.
October 13th, 2010
1:46 pm
Hey, if sports teams and colleges have to be more aware of traditionally offensive mascots, why shouldn't restaurants evolve? We also don't have blackface revues, coolie hats or use ethnic words with negative connotations.
Understandably, some areas are more volatile than others. Reading psalms in class, teaching evolution, having Christmas pagenants or flying the Confederate flag are touchy, sometimes inflamable issues. Many times I hear people remark that these old flags, mammy dolls, rituals are their heritage too. I also hear that these were offensive to others "back in the day" too. Not everyone may have felt able to voice their complaints but the tension was there if you look.
Bottomline, if you know that your decor offends a portion of your customer base, why would you keep it?
October 13th, 2010
1:51 pm
Did you have a reservation? Did you give her the food, but then take it back?
Trying to remember the other references to that Seinfeld episode…
October 13th, 2010
2:17 pm
I know I came off as flippant in my initial comment, but I guess the point is this – if you don't like a place, whether it's because of it's decor, it's food, it's politics, it's location, whatever – just don't go there. John, it's great that your daughter is attuned to injustices and wrongdoing, but my great fear is that we're all becoming TOO attuned to injustice and wrongdoing and then we all end up getting "offended" at the least little thing.
For a pretty whitebread looking guy, I have a lot of different cultures mixed up in me, including the aforementioned Cherokee. However, if I got "offended" every time I saw reference to someone or something that caused injustice or harm to my family in the past, I'd be a quivering mass of jelly. The Bolsheviks destroyed part of my family in 1917 (furry hats don't offend me), Native Americans killed part of my family in the Colee Massacre of 1836 (uh oh, Native Americans? I'm conflicted), the British occupied Minorca – twice (damn, I've got an English last name), Poland was decimated by the Nazis, someone flipped me off on the way to work today…
I guess my point is – who cares if they have some wooden Indians around? We all just need to relax a little and focus on what's important. All we can do is be good to each other NOW – we can't undo the bad things that happened before we were around.
October 13th, 2010

I had been on a quest to avoid chains when travelling, and when driving through SC, I ended up at a place called Maurice's BBQ. Aside from the Confederate flag, nothing really popped out at me at first, but after we had ordered, I noticed the literature table full of backwards looking and, without inspecting too much further, what looked to be racist propaganda. After taking note of this, I noticed that while the town we were in appeared to be predominantly black, all of the employees and all of the patrons were white. The food was OK, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I would definitely not go back. I only wish I had picked up on the ridiculousness of the place before I had ordered…
October 13th, 2010
3:33 pm
I actually had a dream about this topic which I discussed with my therapist. In my dream I had a recurring vision that I was a teepee. Then I was a wigwam. Back and forth it went – teepee, wigwam. Teepee, wigwam.
My doctor told me to relax – I was two tents!
October 13th, 2010
4:50 pm
Here in Atlanta, we had the Pickrick Cafeteria run by Lester Maddox handing out axe handles but hopefully we don't have anything like that anymore. Columbia had Maurice's but it's still doing what Lester Maddox did 45 years ago. Mammy's Shanty (never went there, only was told about it) also made a shtick out of plantation attire and stereotypes, but it's been closed for some time, I think.
As for the "Indian motifs", the FSU Seminole mascot is actually approved of by the Seminole Nation, so not sure when these things become offensive. I suppose you have to watch 1930's cartoons to determine what's offensive nowadays. If it was considered funny then, it's probably offensive now.
October 13th, 2010
4:59 pm
I also recall there was a place called "Johnny Reb's" here, again playing off the Rebel mythology. It did have one saving grace in that the great black organist, Graham Jackson played his Hammond there for years. He actually did a popular showpiece called "The Battle of Atlanta" which included the expected southern and northern songs as well as cannon and battle effects. The whole thing would be considered offensive now by many, but I really wish I could have heard that great man play. Jackson can be seen in a famous Life magazine photograph playing his concertina at the funeral of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
October 13th, 2010
5:36 pm
I lived in Columbia for two years and refused to go to Maurice's.

Remember Sambo's, a restaurant chain out of California that decorated the walls of its 1,200 nationwide locations with scenes from the story of Little Black Sambo? Blatant racial stereotyping by today's standards, but seemingly harmless in the early '70's. I wish I was more sensitive way back then.
October 14th, 2010

I still think you should let her speak her mind.
October 14th, 2010
8:59 am
99% of the time it's really an ignorant-to-the-bone-and-very-proud-of-it type of thing rather than real racism. Happens to be a 10x tougher weed to deal with than plain old injustice.
October 14th, 2010
9:04 am
Maurice's Bar B Que was owned by one of the best known segregationist in the state of South Carolina and the South for that matter.
October 14th, 2010
10:34 am
Dunwoody Don– I remember Sambo's. Rumor is that it actually became the chain now known as Denny's (does anyone know if this is true?). For people who think it's OK to have wooden Indians/etc. as decor: if you wouldn't be comfortable seeing "pickaninny art" (a la Sambo's) used as decor, why would you think using Native American parodies (because that's what wooden Indians really are– parodies of the "stoic savage" used to sell things) is any less offensive?
October 14th, 2010
10:57 am
I must admit, I'm confused as to how showing figures in a historical likeness is racial stereotyping? I'm no expert and can't speak to the accuracy of the figures, but I do know some Native Americans did wear headdresses back in the day. It's like calling a picture of a confederate soldier if full uniform insensitive and "racial stereotyping." Am I missing something here – are the figures somehow portrayed in a negative fashion? If not, this is a really silly conversation.
October 14th, 2010
2:43 pm
Kirk – you're right. It is a silly conversation. That was the link in my first comment – it's to the Stone Mountain Park Indian Festival and Pow-wow. I went last year. Funny, it was full of hundreds of people wearing headdresses, feathers, deer skins – making jewelry, sitting in teepees and dancing to drums. Rumor has it that they were actual "Indians"… Notice that they refer to themselves as "Indian" in the title of their own festival (how insensitive).

Do any of you remember Aunt Fanny's Cabin in Smyrna? The menu was recited by a young African-American boy who would come to your table with a small chalkboard hanging from his neck. That was excruciating to me even in the 1980s when I was in high school and really didn't know better.

Kirk, it matters to a lot of people. Historically accurate or not, displaying the likeness of someone others find offensive or have issues with their beliefs matters to folks. Heck, a number of tourists still won't go to Stone Mountain park. Whether they have issues with the portraits on the stone wall or the background behind it's creation, many people see it as a blight and an embarrassment from an earlier period.
Same reason others avoid antebellum house tours and others wouldn't be seen at a St Patrick's Day parade.
Just as Rich Iott if you doubt me.

Carey's hamburgers on Highway 41 had the best burgers in the entire city, but the jukebox was filled with racial songs. They had a cleaner restaurant off of Collier Road as well. Both locations are gone now though.

Actually Frozen takes place in a fucking fairy tale kingdom with talking snow men. It's based on Norway but why can't it have POC?
How is it politically correct to have black people ina magical kingdom? And it doesn't have to be random because in a world where snow men talk and hearts are frozen and cities are enchanted, you can make it so that black people were there.
Just admit that you want more all white movies for the sake of them being all white when they really don't have to be.
Just admit it and leave
Isn't it interesting though!?
When we sit and watch, read, or listen to ANYTHING fiction we do not question that world's canon.
You lose your sense of reality because you WANT to believe the story you're being told.
That is why we can easily accept talking inanimate toys, a world of witchcraft and wizardry, and even two brothers going against the supernatural.
But as SOON as someone that is brown, identifies as a woman, is queer, shapely, disabled, etc. you all of a sudden can't believe it!
Your fantasy crumbles at your feet when others that are only asking to be represented and included in this fantastical world as well want to experience it too. You suddenly bring out how it's not "historically accurate" or that "it doesn't make sense" to include more real people that physically share the same world as you for such and such basic-mindless reasons.
But you do not question the magic.
You do not question the hooded figures in the dog park.
You do not argue the impossibility of a talking snowman and a dog-like moose.
You easily accept all of those things and more but you'd be damned if a brown, disabled, and/or queer, woman/dude is included in the story as well.
Then it's just being "politically correct".
You're a backwards human being and you need to take a second look on your life.

The San Francisco Giants are determined to not finish ten games out of first place and with the tenth-worst ERA in baseball again in 2014. According to reports coming out of San Francisco, the Giants have agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Tim Hudson, lately of the Atlanta Braves. Hudson, 38 but still an above-average right-handed pitcher, went 8-7 with a 3.97 ERA in the 2013 season.
Hudson is not stranger to the San Francisco Bay Area. He pitched six seasons for the Giants' cross-bay rival Oakland A's, and had his best season with the A's. Hudson finished second in the AL Cy Young race as an Athletic in 2000, and won 15 or more games for the A's each season between 2000 and 2004 before being traded to the Braves prior to the 2005 season.
Now Tim Hudson has agreed to terms with the San Francisco Giants. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reported that Tim Hudson has agreed to terms with the San Francisco Giants, and KCNBC's John Allen reported the the deal is for two years and $23 million.
This season Hudson was best known for a gruesome, bone crushing ankle incident (WARNING: That link shows a very graphic animated GIF) when he got his ankle stepped upon while covering first base. That happened in July, and Hudson has not pitched in a game since.
Hudson has been on the NL All-Star team as recently as 2010.
Hudson is pushing 40, but he's seen as a potential mentor to Giants pitchers like the struggling Tim Lincecum. Hudson has actually given Lincecum advice in the past "He's still 91, 92, 93 (mph), plenty to win in this league, especially with that changeup," Hudson once said of Lincecum. "He doesn't have to make every pitch a swing-and-miss pitch. I was the same way when I was younger."
The Giants recently re-signed Tim Lincecum to a hefty deal, despite concerns that Lincecum has nothing left in the tank.

The inhabitants of Easter Island consumed a diet that was lacking in seafood and was, literally, quite ratty.
The island, also called Rapa Nui, first settled around A.D. 1200, is famous for its more than 1,000 "walking" Moai statues, most of which originally faced inland. Located in the South Pacific, Rapa Nui is the most isolated inhabited landmass on Earth; the closest inhabitants are located on the Pitcairn Islands about 1,200 miles (1,900 kilometers) to the west.
To determine the diet of its past inhabitants, researchers analyzed the nitrogen and carbon isotopes, or atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons, from the teeth (specifically the dentin) of 41 individuals whose skeletons had been previously excavated on the island. Read more.
Y-you don't say… *sweats nervously*
Rapa Nui. I shall forget the name Easter Island. Amazing.

A critical trade off with many product lines, customers, or strategies is the age old revenue vs. margin argument. Is it better to start a product line which will increase revenue and have a detrimental effect on your profit margin, or is it better to take on a large customer, even though they demand a steep discount on your products? For the purpose of this article, we will ignore the effect of this decision on the daily operation of your company, and focus solely on the effect of this decision on the value of your business as you prepare for a business sale.
The answer is clear. Revenue wins. The effect of higher gross sales will have a greater effect as you go to sell your business, versus the detrimental effect on the value of your business which will come from a lower margin percentage.
Princeton Capital determined this by compiling information from a variety of sources, including Pratt's Stats. Princeton utilized the most important financial metrics, the multiple of Revenue to the Sale Price, and the multiple of Earnings to the Sale Price. These multiples are computed by taking the sale price and dividing it by the amount of earnings or revenue. For example, if a company sells for $10 million, and has an EBITDA of $2.5 million, that company sold for a 4x's multiple of EBITDA or had an earnings multiple of 4. If that same company had revenue of $12.5 million, and sold for $10 million again, the company sold for a 0.8 multiple of revenue (10 / 12.5), or had a revenue multiple of 0.8. We aggregated information from business sales and broke the results down by a range of revenue amounts, and a range of EBITDA amounts.
The businesses sold in the lowest revenue range received a value based on a multiple of Selling Price to EBITDA (earnings multiple) of 3.81 for their businesses on average. For the highest revenue range, the businesses were sold for a value that was equivalent to a 6.99 earnings multiple on average. Princeton then categorized the businesses in the same revenue ranges, and determined the value they received based on a multiple of Selling Price to Revenue (revenue multiple). The revenue multiple for the lowest range was .47, and the revenue multiple for the highest range was .55 on average. We then took into account the decrease in profit margins as these businesses increased in revenue. The profit margins for the businesses in the lowest range averaged 12%, and the higher range had average profits of 5%.
The results show that the increase in revenue has a much greater positive effect on the valuation of a business for sale then the negative effect from loss of profit and profit margin. The revenue multiple increased by 83% from the lowest category to the highest.
What does this mean to my business? When making decisions about a new product, service or growth strategy, you should value increased revenues over decreased profit margins. For example, if your company has annual revenue of $4 million, all else being equal, according to our study your company will be valued based on a earnings multiple of 4.8 and a revenue multiple of 0.47. Assuming your company has the average profit margin of businesses in that revenue range of 8%, your company is earning approximately $320 thousand per year. Therefore your company is worth $1.88 million based on revenue, and $1.53 million based on your earnings, or approximately $1.7 million.
In one scenario, you can begin producing a new product or service that will help you maintain your profit margin, and increase revenue by $1 million. Utilizing the above, your company is now valued at $2.13 million. In the second scenario, you decided to take revenue over profit margin. You went with a product that earned only 4% margins, but had an additional $2.0 million in revenue, making your businesses average margin 6%. The additional revenue puts your company into the next revenue range, and you will be valued at higher multiples. Instead of your business being worth $2.13 million, your company is now worth approximately $2.9 million, a 36% increase!
The moral of the story is, go with revenue over margin to get a better value for your business.

Stonington — Power was knocked out to a large section of Pawcatuck early this morning and a portion of Pequot Trail was temporarily closed after an SUV driven by a woman, who police say was intoxicated, struck a utility pole.
Erin D. Shellman, 43, of 168 Pequot Trail was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, using a cell phone while driving, distracted driving while committing a moving violation and failure to drive right after the 11:36 p.m. crash Sunday night. She was released on a $600 non-surety bond and is slated to appear in New London Superior Court on May 21.
Police said she was driving east on Pequot Trail when her Toyota 4Runner struck the pole and box containing telephone equipment near the intersection of Wheeler Drive. Shellman declined medical treatment. Power was restored and the road reopened later in the morning.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
I am looking for books that cover the topics of the fundamentals of mechanical design in art, specifically the techniques or thinking used in creating complex mechanical designs like humaniform robots, mecha or complex vehicles (tanks, armored cars, etc.).
I've checked out the various forums and perused threads like the 2008 Robotics thread as well as the Reading List thread, but I've been unable to find what I'm looking for. I checked out some of the videos uploaded by Feng Zhu on his site, but those deal with media techniques during mechanical design and not the fundamentals of "how" to design a convincing machine.
Perhaps it is just a limitation of my imagination, but I'd hope it isn't. :p
If any of you can point me in the right direction, I'd be quite grateful. Cheers!
Neuromancer fan? The closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is Mechanika by Doug Chiang. It's my drawer at the moment, but I remember it having quite a few things on designing robots and such. It also covered a lot of pen and marker work, which was interesting, as it doesn't seem to come up too often in books these days. It is a good book. If that doesn't hit the spot, then I think it's just a case of experience and study. Understand your subject matter.
If you want to design a tank, then work out why real tanks look the way they do. The armour is often angled or sloped because it makes it harder to munitions to penetrate. I believe those cages you see around the vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan are designed to detonate RPG warheads prematurely before they can penetrate the vehicles themselves. Others are covered in those 'bricks', which are actually explosive pockets designed to detonate when hit by missiles and defeat the warhead. It's all designed for purpose first, not looks.
I say this as a viewer, and not a designer. I have no design experience, but nothing makes me groan more in entertainment media than when I see something that looks like it would never work, and the designer has become fixated on making something look cool.
Edit: Do take what I say with a pinch of salt. Somebody else will likely have more useful advice. I get very excited at the mention of tanks.
As long as it fits your vision, it doesn't matter how others design their machines(they followed their own vision). If you don't have a vision, that is another problem.
I take vision, in art, to mean the formation of a general scheme, mood, and composition of a picture apart than its specific details. The specific details are sought after through references, which the artist may manipulate or change to fit his vision.
Vision can be generated from reference images, pictures, novels, or music, and of which do not necessarily require direct to be stimuli, but can be "stimuli" from your knowledge and "visual library", as Feng Zhu puts it. E.g., remembering moments in your life, even though not particularly specific, can be enough to give you the vision of an idea whether for a painting or a story.
The only accuracy involved in imaginary concepts are when they pertain to real world objects. An imaginary machine made of metal should follow the nature of metal found in the real world, and in which case you should learn how to draw metallic objects if you don't know how to, and you can do that by starting to draw something metallic. It might also help to read about the behaviors of light on different surfaces.

I realized that I needed to figure how machines worked first and then I was able to apply what I learned to my designs.
I recommend this video on simple machines
And the following book:

Books like this can be really helpful. There's no better inspiration for imaginary machines if you can look into real ones.
Here's the example of tank cross-section for polish edition of 30-page series. Unfortunately it's not published anymore.
Thanks for the great suggestions!
The video posted by Charlie D is along the lines of what I'm looking for, becaues the initial steps of designing something are what I've had the most trouble with.
I tend to try and put too much detail in too early and not sketch enough general overall shapes which leads me to half-finished or ill-thought designs. It's something I've been struggling to overcome for a while and I haven't quite found my mojo with any particular technique.
Farvus: Great suggestion with the cross-sections! I use a lot of stuff like that for reference already. Here's one of the best ones I've ever found.

A few years ago Iron Man was just a mere comic book hero. Then Robert Downey Jr. stepped into the role and suddenly the character had become the talk of Tinseltown. The movies we're actually a bit of a disappointment since they were poorly directed, though Downey was easily the most readeeming factor in the whole saga. And let's not overlook the intro scenes of Iron Man 1, which were the most entertaining and captivating. So, while movie one and two came and went – pending any Netflix streams that is – the Iron Man costumes continue to breathe additional life into the jet powered hero. And what better time for a new version to arrive than a few weeks before Halloween.
The Steampunk Iron Man suit recently took the "best costume" award at the New York Comic Con. Yes, they have a NYC Comic Con, but it can't possibly be as epic as the San Diego version, right? That aside, it turns out that the costume is in fact a reworked costume, from the movie "Heartless: The Story of the TinMan". However, the lead designer didn't sanction the work and was completed behind his back by his ex-assistant. Nonetheless, the costume received high praise from fans as well as Stan Lee and Jon Faveru.
Just found out that the Tin Man suit was taken and modified into an "Iron Man" suit that won the costume contest at the NY Comic Con by my ex assistant. The suit was changed without my knowledge or permission and I'm royally angered by this action. It's also sad to see that the only screen used version of the suit that exists, is now a cheapened knock off of a popular character. I don't get people anymore and it makes me want even more to become more reclusive.

Droid DNA, Windows 8 Push Mark HTC's Last Stand

A Tailored Tagline
Sometimes a tagline defines the brand that adopts it. "The ultimate driving machine" is, of course, a BMW. "Just do it," intones Nike. "Quietly brilliant" is the tagline of HTC, and as the owner of an HTC One X, I think it fits like a tailored suit.
Full disclosure: I love my phone, and in addition to respecting the brand, I feel a personal loyalty to HTC more »
Underwhelming iPhone 5 Confirms that Apple Lost its Soul When it Lost Steve
By Luca Gattoni-Celli - October 4, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, NOK |
Reaction to the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone 5 is a horse. Long dead, it continues to be beaten. Thanks to extensive leaks, it was beaten half to death before the barn door opened on The New iPhone. Salvation is a strong word, but seemingly the entire world expected the device and experience built around it would change everything. Again.
It did not. It has not. It will not. The iPhone more »
The Dark Side of a Lighter F-150: Ford Gambles on Safety

"Simplify, then add lightness." This was the refrain of legendary automotive engineer Colin Chapman. The company he founded on that ethos, appropriately named Lotus, produced some of the most celebrated racing and road cars. However, at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Lotus' new executives announced five heavy, complicated new models that will reposition it somewhere between Porsche and Aston Martin.
Around that time, another firm was establishing itself as the more »

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) systems running OS X now account for a respectable proportion of computer sales. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) continues to refine its subversive, cloud-centric Chrome operating system.

As I held my daughter for the first time, I looked down at her and thought several things at once, which I later jotted down in a journal. A few of these are relevant to personal finance – some are not – but overall I thought they painted a great picture of why it's worthwhile to get your financial house in order.
She looks like her mother. Already, even with all of the wrinkles and stretching that come naturally to an infant's head. She is her mother repeated, with maybe just a faint hint of my mother in the cheekbones.
She smells like baby. I remember for the first few months when my son smelled this way. It's a unique smell that's almost impossible to describe to others. I just call it "new baby smell."
I am incredibly glad I got my financial life in order. When I held my son in my arms, there was a sense of "Oh my God, what am I going to do now?" Not with her – everything felt just right. Getting your financial house in order makes it possible for so much of life to go so much easier.
She's smaller than I expected. I knew how small an infant was from my son, but I guess in some ways I had almost forgotten how small newborns actually are. She's just this little, tiny, defenseless person.
She has so many things going for her. She's healthy, she has two parents that already adore her, an older brother to show her the way, a beautiful house to live in, four incredible doting grandparents, and a huge army of aunts and uncles and cousins who will love her and take care of her. She's an incredibly lucky little girl.
My wife is an incredibly brave and powerful woman. If you ever doubt this about a woman, watch a woman during the act of childbirth. It's amazing in every way. I truly respect the effort, pain, and work that a woman goes through to give birth.
Everything is changing – again. We're going to go home and suddenly there will be two children in diapers, one of which will not be on any sort of regular sleeping schedule. I am very thankful that my wife is able to take a couple of months off of work to take care of the new baby.

No one tells me how I live my life, no one tells me who I love, and definitely not the universe. And I'm not going to let someone else's idea of destiny stop me from loving you or being with you or building a future with you…Because you are my life.
Stop waiting for the perfect moment. It will never arrive. There are no perfect moments sweetheart. We choose our moments and I want you to start choosing yours and start choosing now. Time will not wait for you and I don't want you to miss out on your life because you've been patiently waiting on the sidelines thinking you have to stay there. You don't have to sit this life out, your life out. You have a whole field in front of you for you to discover and run around in. It is there for you, let your feet press down on the earth and then start running, start discovering, and never stop.
They forgot to tell you it's not always easy,
that just because the ocean seems so
calm at night
doesn't mean it doesn't ache
for morning.
They forgot to tell you it takes time,
that weeks may feel like hours
and months may feel like years.
That it only grows deeper in patience
and stronger in absence.
They forgot to tell you it speaks louder
in silence than it ever could in words,
that it listens closer when my hands
talk to yours,
that it lives inside your bones,
and not inside your heart.
They forgot to tell you it makes you
weak at the knees,
and strong in the head.
That it can fill every broken crack,
and heal every open wound.
They forgot to tell you it will leave scars.
They forgot to tell you that you can
give it all away without ever having
it given back to you.
They forgot to tell you that is okay.
They forgot to tell you that memories
don't fade away.
They forgot to tell you that it hurts.
They forgot to tell you what it means.
I'm here to tell you that it's worth it.
I'm here to tell you that you're worth it.
I'm sick of being told
more things I need to hate about myself.
My laugh lines are not ugly,
my stomach rolls are not unnatural.
I do not need to possess less mass
and more insecurities
to be beautiful.
My scarred chin and blistered feet
are not imperfections to
powder and scrub.
They are battle wounds from
the years I have spent
tiptoeing around "ugly."
I will not shed pieces of myself
to fit into the compact space
you call "pretty."
My biggest obstacle
is not a body
that is susceptible to aging.
It is being told that
beauty must be earned
through primping,
plucking, and killing
any part of me that
dares remind the world I am
You lose yourself loving catastrophic people.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

The most capable and luxurious Land Rover yet, the all-new Range Rover is the fourth generation of the unique Range Rover line. Developed from the ground up, it captures the innovative spirit and iconic design of the original model, which changed the world of motoring when it was launched over 40 years ago.
John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director, said: "The new Range Rover preserves the essential, unique character of the vehicle – that special blend of luxury, performance and unmatched all-terrain capability. However, its clean sheet design and revolutionary lightweight construction have enabled us to transform the experience for luxury vehicle customers, with a step change in comfort, refinement and handling."
The all-new Range Rover has a clean and elegant shape, which is derived from a fresh new interpretation of Range Rover design cues. While instantly recognisable as a Range Rover, the new vehicle takes a significant step forward with a bold evolution of the model's iconic design language.
"Designing the next generation Range Rover, following over forty years of success, came with a huge responsibility to protect the DNA of such an icon," said Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Design Director and Chief Creative Officer.
"Our design team worked incredibly hard to capture the elegant proportions and pure surfaces which have been a feature of the best Range Rover designs."
To deliver the model's characteristic effortless performance, customers have the choice of refined V8 petrol engines, and for North Africa, TDV6 and TDV8 diesel engines, combining responsive performance with outstanding CO2 emissions.
The world's first SUV with a revolutionary, lightweight, all-aluminium monocoque body structure, the all-new Range Rover has been engineered with the latest developments in vehicle technologies. This includes interior luxury features such as exclusive Meridian surround sound music systems, power upper and lower tailgates, advanced chassis and ground-breaking, next-generation version of Land Rover's Terrain Response® system, which analyses the current driving conditions and automatically selects the most suitable vehicle settings for the terrain.
On sale from September 2012 [market dependent] with customer deliveries scheduled to start from early 2013, the all-new Range Rover will be a truly global car, available in over 160 markets worldwide.
Moroccan motoring enthusiasts enjoyed the opportunity to witness the entire Land Rover range on display at the 2014 Auto Expo.
Land Rover customers, prospects, and their friends and families were invited to experience a thrilling day of daring drives
Land Rover's Discovery Vision Concept showcases the essence of a future family of SUVs built on Land Rover's key principles of emotive design, unrivalled capability and ultimate versatility.
