He stared down at her with childish glee, his hollow eyes drinking in the scene of a victim yet to be slaughtered.
There was movement from the bed as she rolled over onto her side, facing him, giving him the chance to take in the details of her face as the light that came from the slit in the curtains beamed down on it. He had no doubt that she was going to be a screamer.
With fluid movement a hand like no other touched her face, strange, elongated and pointed black fingers stroking her cheek as a smirk crossed his face. The digits had no contours or features that could be described as human; he himself had no details like the human body would. In fact if a human was to lay eyes on him they would pass him off as nothing but a shadow, a black wisp from the imagination; which was perfect for him and his nightly deeds.
Humans dismissed the unknown too easily but it made his feeding so much easier.
He let a disappointed sigh escaped past his lips, he needed to hurry. Time wasn't on his side and the sun would rise soon, meaning he'd have to wait past the witching hour the next night before he could eat again…surely he'd starve if he waited that long.
Wasting no more time he placed his pointed fingertips to her temples and began to dig them into her flesh, shivering at the feeling of the skin that was enveloping them. The smell of blood reached his nostrils, making his stomach growl and his mouth salivate; this was going to be a delectable meal.
Her eyes shot open as she jolted awake, pain piercing through her skull, a loud scream erupted from her throat. Looking up she saw nothing but a large shadow looming over her, he watched in pleasure as fear filled her gaze and she began to squirm, begging to be left alone.
His black sockets took in every twisted detail of her face as it contorted with fear and agony, the best expressions any human could show. They lived their lives hoping, for some he'd even dare to say wishing, for love and happiness. He didn't, he lived for this moment, the moment his victims watched him in terror and confusion, the look which signalled the excellence in the execution of his job.
These were the moments he craved for; these were the moments he proved humans were nothing but food for beings like him.
With a dark chuckle he began to let his poison drip through his fingertips, injecting it directly into her bloodstream. In a few minutes she would be paralyzed, nothing but a frozen subject who'd have to endure the torture of his feeding long before she was gratified with the peaceful bliss death.
Once he felt that enough of his poison was injected he begrudgingly pulled his fingers out completely and stepped back to let his poison do its trick, licking his wispy digits free of blood in delight he watched her thrive around in bed. Yelling in pain as blood seeped from the wounds he had created, saliva dripping from the side of her mouth as she struggled to swallow.
As she felt herself weakening all she could do was stare vacantly at this strange shadow, a shadow that was wearing a grin invisible to her. Her breathing didn't seem laboured, only her movements and ability to speak eligible words seemed to have disappeared. Tears and sweat ran down her face as the final blow of realization of her inevitable death swamped her every thought, there was no hope for fighting; she was never given that chance.
He was almost sad to see her stop moving, he was enjoying his nightly entertainment, but with his victim now paralyzed he could feed and stay satisfied until the clock strikes midnight again.

Solutions that embed sustainable platforms, infrastructure and technologies
Energy consuming IT estates are growing, and more resources are being used in the manufacture, distribution, and running of IT equipment.
Fundamental to running an efficient, adaptive, resilient and effective organization is ensuring that the infrastructure upon which the organization operates is sustainable, open and secure.
Here Atos' Ambition Carbon Neutral Program forms the main element of our support for clients in their efforts to reach Carbon excellence and covers three key areas:
- Carbon Assessment and strategy development
- Carbon reduction program and improvement areas (transformation & recurring services)
- Carbon measurement (dashboards)
Once transformation has taken place, Atos is able to take over the running of a client's infrastructure in the most sustainable and efficient way. Here the focus is on three key services:
- Adaptive Workplace : A complete menu of transformation and recurring workplace services based on an architecture that is optimized for your Green IT requirements and which will help you realize significant productivity gains.
- Data Center Services : Atos owns and operates more than 40 data centers worldwide, from which we deliver most of our recurring IT services. We can also optimize your data centers based on your requirements, whether these are predominantly or only partly sustainable IT related.
- Cloud Infrastructure Solutions : Designed and operated mainly for enterprise clients, Cloud Infrastructure Solutions offer three variants each with different security and resource sharing characteristics, including the necessary transformation services you need.
- Atos Worldgrid : At the forefront of the technologies which sustain demand side management, the modernization of transport & distribution networks to significantly reduce costs, as well as the real-time control of utility assets.
Based on the assessment results, we will suggest a roadmap that can be used as a basis to realize the improvements that are deemed possible. We then suggest a transformational strategy with a potential forecast of carbon reductions, coupled with cost savings. We place this in context of your corporate IT maturity and appetite for innovative business solutions, enabling you to assess the business case for change.

The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe
The Pope and Mussolini is a riveting account of the parallel rise to power of the authoritarian scholarly Vatican librarian who became Pope Pius XI and the narcissistic son of a socialist blacksmith. The unholy alliance between Benito Mussolini and Cardinal Achille Ratti (who later became Pope Pius XI) permanently transformed the role of the Catholic Church in Italy and provided legitimacy to Mussolini's Fascist rule.
The two dissimilar men made their ascent in the same year, 1922.
The intellectual Ratti with three doctorates had taught seminarians in Rome and Padua before rising to become Prefect of the Vatican Library. His predecessor Pope Benedict XV sent him as papal nuncio (diplomatic envoy) to Warsaw and later, named Ratti cardinal, and made him Archbishop of Milan. After Benedict's death, Ratti, the dark horse in the lengthy papal conclave, was elected Pope on...

For my mom,
thanks for your support in everything I do.
I love you more than I can say.
TWENTY-THREE YEARS AS THE HANDMAIDEN OF A daaeman had prepared Claire for many things, but not this. Nothing could have prepared her for this.
She huddled back against a brick wall, the cold seeping through her thin dress, and watched the inky shadows grow on the building opposite her. Discarded paper disturbed by the wind rustled over the pavement and a sudden bloom of voices and laughter came from the mouth of the alley and gradually faded away.
Still the shadows grew.
Claire glanced at the street beyond the pocket of shadows in which she'd secreted herself, where pale yellow light from street lamps pooled on the sidewalk. She didn't think she could make it. She didn't think she could outrun them.
There were few people in the world—any of the worlds—who could outrun a determined daaeman, especially an Atrika.
The alien earth sighed and shuddered far beyond the concrete beneath her feet, reacting to her dulled and confused magick. This place, this Earth, was nothing like she remembered. The place she barely recalled was green, soft, and redolent with fragrant, growing things. This place was hard and chilly. Too loud. It hurt her eyes with sharp edges and bright lights.
Part of her had longed to return to this place, even while most of her had feared it. Claire knew now she'd been right to fear.
Pass me by. Please, pass by.
The odd dry tang of Rue's magick still flavored the back of her mouth. The hot rush of it had faded to something bitter. It tingled through her body, giving her the shakes from time to time as her body struggled to contain this thing that was so much bigger than her. She wasn't meant to hold this power. She wasn't made for it. It wasn't hers. The elium, the most powerful weapon of the Ytrayi. Or at least, that's what she suspected it was. Whatever it was, the Atrika wanted it and that could only mean her death.
The only question was whether it would come slow or fast.
She squeezed her eyes shut, remembering. It had only happened yesterday, but it seemed like years had passed. When the Atrika had breached the palace defenses, Rue had taken her to the portal room with the intention of destroying the interdimensional doorway that bridged Earth and Eudae.
But when the Atrika had broken into the chamber, Rue had blasted her with a ball of magick so strong it had momentarily taken her sense of sight, smell, and hearing. As he'd meant it to, the blast had catapulted her backward, into the doorway. Rue had meant to destroy the portal after she'd fallen through, and undoubtedly he had, but not before two Atrika had lunged in after her.
On the Earth side of the portal, she'd taken one single moment to orient herself and then had lurched forward into a run for her life, knowing the Atrika would be fast behind her. Even though her stomach had been heaving with the aftermath of her fall through the doorway, even though her head had been ready to split like a too ripe melon, she'd run.
But not fast enough. Not far enough. And she certainly hadn't hidden well enough.
Last night she'd climbed a set of metal stairs and curled up on the top of a building to sleep with the sounds of a city she almost remembered, but not quite, below her. In the morning, forced to find food, she'd climbed down and had done her level best to avoid the two Atrika she'd known were hunting her.
In all her years on Eudae she'd never even seen an Atrika up close. Rue, the Cae, leader of the Ytrayi daaeman breed, had treated her as a pampered pet. He'd protected her from anything that might hurt her . . . until now. With Rue, she'd wanted for nothing, never gone without food. This, all of this, was utterly foreign to her.
She needed to find Thomas Monahan and the aeamon, half-breed daaeman/humans, who resided on this planet. They called themselves elemental witches here. They were the only ones who would understand what had happened. They were the only ones who could help her now.
Claire knew little of them, didn't know where to find them, or how they functioned in this world. She couldn't even use her magick, not with Rue's gift fluttering inside her. She had no idea how her power would react. If it was elium Rue had imbued her with, accidentally tapping it could mean utter destruction. The inability to use her power was perhaps the worst thing about her current condition.
Worse than the cold. Worse than the hunger or the fatigue or the fear.
In every way imaginable, she was hobbled.
Claire had never been so cold. In all the demonic winters she'd spent on Eudae, where the temperatures ranged into the bone-shattering range for an aeamon, she'd never been this miserable. The wound she'd sustained on her foot the first day as she'd run from the Atrika hadn't so much healed up as it had frozen up. Hunger constantly distracted her and made her weak. By now she was so bedraggled, people on the street gave her a wide berth and pitying glances.
Never had she been so humiliated.
Today she'd walked down streets, not knowing where she was headed. She'd only known she had to keep moving since the Atrika might be able to track her magickally.
People had pressed paper and coins, which she recognized as money, into her palm once in a while. However, when she'd inquired where she could find the elemental witches, they'd only given her strange looks and hurried away. Inquiries as to how to protect herself against demons—the human's pronunciation of daaeman—had met with a similar response, so Claire had stopped asking. These random acts of generosity were few and far between, but they'd already helped her buy a little food, a transaction she'd stumbled through badly. And the resulting piece of meat wrapped in soggy bread had been horrid.
She'd managed to evade the Atrika for a while, but then she'd turned a corner and there they'd been. Claire had whirled and tried to go in the other direction before they spotted her, but it had been too late. So she'd run to this alley and endeavored to hide.
Now they were searching for her. She could smell them. Daaeman magick had a peculiar sharp scent and these Atrika weren't masking their true nature at the moment. Likely they were trying to spook her.
It was working.
Claire opened her eyes just for a moment and glanced up into the dark sky with its odd absence of stars. Nothing but concrete here. Concrete and square shapes. Black, cold sky. On Eudae, in the capital city of Ai, the buildings were made of lavender and rose marble, sometimes black or gray. They all shone and glittered under the sun. Structures built in columns, gentle slopes, and arches. The palace, called Yrystrayi, was majestic in its architecture.
Daaeman were brutal regardless of breed. Even the Syari, the scholar class, were more prone to killing before asking questions. The warrior class, the Atrika, were the worst. Unlike the rest of the breeds, they dined on rotting flesh, loved to drink blood, and became aroused by torture and pain.
But all the breeds, even the Atrika, had beautiful architecture.
Her mother told her she'd been born here on Earth, and Claire did have some hazy, early childhood memories of this place, but mostly she felt like she'd slipped down a rabbit hole. Her mother, before she'd died, had told the story of Alice in Wonderland often to Claire. Maybe her mother had felt like Alice when she'd first come to Eudae as much as Claire did now on Earth.
Footsteps crushed refuse underfoot, disconcertingly close. Claire froze, the saliva in her mouth drying up.
The shadowy fingers on the building opposite her lengthened and then halted. Claire caught her breath and didn't blink. Honking and voices from the street barely filtered into her arrested awareness. The fingers reversed and came back in her direction.
Claire balanced, ready to take flight. Run. That's all she could do. She wanted to tap her magick, use her best weapon. Her fingers tingled with the desire to do it.
A daaeman face appeared above her. "Got you."
His huge hands came down on her shoulders and squeezed. Tears burst into her eyes from the pain. She struggled and his grip dropped to her wrists making her yelp.
The second Atrika grabbed the first around the waist and hauled him back away from her. "She's mine!" he growled.
The first daaeman who'd grabbed her—Claire believed he was called Tevan—gathered himself from where he'd been knocked to the pavement. With a low growl trickling from his throat, he launched himself at the second. Both their eyes glowed red and their teeth had extended.
Killing rage.
Claire stood for a split second, watching the daaeman face off. If the magick Rue had imbued her with was elium, it was very valuable to them. Of course they'd fight over it. Within her lay all their hopes and dreams of victory against the ruling Ytrayi. They would each want control of it.
Lucky her to carry such a treasure.
Claire bolted.
Realizing they'd lost their prey, the Atrika stopped their territorial dispute and followed her.
Ducking low and swerving, she just evaded Tevan's grasp and shot out of the alley, dodging tall silver cans, lumpy black sacks, and jumping over discarded boxes. Her shoes, made for the sleek marble floors of the palace, hadn't fared well on the concrete pathways of Earth. Shredded on the bottom, they provided little protection.
Something sharp stabbed her sole and she yelped, feeling a gush of hot, sticky blood. She cursed in Aemni, one of the languages commonly spoken among all the breeds. Now she was leaving a perfect trail for them.
She careened out into the street and nearly collided with a man. He yelled at her as she dove around him and sped down the sidewalk.
Across the way, a flood of people exited a building, spilling out into the night-dark streets under a brightly lit overhanging sign, talking and laughing. Knowing a crowd was her only chance, Claire detoured, pounding across the road. The shiny fast-moving conveyances—cars, that's what they were called—honked and swerved.
She plunged into the crowd on the other side, scattering those directly around her with surprised gasps. Risking a glance backward, she saw the two Atrika had reached the street and had spotted her. They made their way toward her.
"Help! Help me!" Her voice sounded rusty and she choked on the English. She'd used it with Rue when he wanted practice and with the earth witch, Thomas, when he'd been trapped in Yrystrayi. Otherwise she hadn't spoken it since her mother had died.
The people around her appeared alarmed. Most didn't look at her. They pretended she wasn't standing there asking for aid in tattered shoes and a torn, dirty dress that provided no protection against the cold bite of the air. Some glanced at her with pity on their faces; others smirked and talked behind their hands. A woman pressed one of the pieces of green paper into her palm. Claire stared down at it, uncomprehending. She'd asked for help, not money.
"Please, the daae—demons," she whispered. "The Atrika demons will get me."
The Atrika would crack the seat of her magick open to get the elium. Crack her like a nut for the meat inside. How had Rue ever expected her to succeed? One aeamon servant against two motivated Atrika daaeman?
She closed her eyes, reliving the moment when the Atrika had forced the door of the Ytrayi portal chamber down. The burst of brilliant magick, the bellows and war whoops, the Atrika all in a killing rage. Rue could even now be dead. There was no help in her immediate future. Even if Rue had survived, it would take a long time to open another doorway, even longer for Rue to track her down.
A hand curled over her shoulder, startling her. She looked up into a handsome male face. Elegant, sloping brown brows, green eyes, a smile. "Come with me," the man said. "There's a diner just up the way. We'll get a meal and see what we can do to help you."
Her gaze flicked back to the daaeman crossing the street. They were growing very close now. She grabbed the man's arm. "Yes, let's go."
He patted her hand. "It's all right. Calm down now, okay?"
She glanced backward at her pursuers. "Let's stay with the crowd. Do you mind?"
"Of course not. Will the crowd keep the . . . demons . . . away?"
Oh, thank all Four Houses and the Patrons! He understood. She nodded emphatically. "They won't hurt me if I'm with humans. They don't want to incite an interdimensional incident."
He raised his eyebrows. "Ah. Let's go then. What's your name?"
"Claire, what a lovely name. What's your last name?"
She didn't answer because she didn't know it. Her mother had never told her. She only shook her head and glanced away, embarrassed. Were surnames very important here? A mark of class, perhaps?
As they walked, the man flipped open a small black object, punched some buttons and spoke into it. Claire didn't pay attention to what he said, she was too focused on the daaeman following them. They kept their distance now, but they would stalk her until they found her alone and vulnerable. All she'd done was buy herself some time.
Claire hoped the humans had some way of dealing with Atrika. She'd heard one had been stuck here without a doorway for many years. The witches had dealt with that one. Perhaps the elemental witches were rulers in this place. It would make sense, considering their abilities. Although that didn't explain all the blank looks she got when she asked about them. At least she'd found one man who understood about the Atrika. Hopefully, he'd know how to find Thomas Monahan.
The good news—if there was good news—was that there were only two Atrika and no more could follow, since Rue had destroyed the doorway.
A hysterical laugh bubbled up from her depths. She was penniless and lost in a foreign world she hadn't walked on since she was six years old and there only two Atrika who were chasing her. That was the good news?
The man looked concerned when she laughed. He hesitated, then pulled the door of a restaurant open for her. "We're here." Claire's mind had been spinning so hard, she hadn't even noticed they'd reached their destination.
She entered a small establishment, glancing at her surroundings. People sat belly up to a long counter. Others sat in the booths near the large front window that gave a view of the darkened street. Most of the restaurant's patrons turned and looked at her, making Claire self-conscious about her clothing and dirt-smudged face.
"No vagrants in here," said a skinny, sharp-faced waitress wielding a pot of some dark, unidentifiable liquid.
Horror shot through Claire. "I am not a vagrant." She glanced away, knowing full well she looked like one. She'd been—was—handmaiden to the Cae of the Ytrayi daaeman breed. Slave, perhaps, but slave to the master. That meant the best of everything, even though she'd been property.
The man set a hand to her shoulder. "Of course you aren't." Then he turned to the waitress. "It's okay. I'm a clinical psychologist and . . ." He pulled the waitress aside and spoke in low tones to her. The waitress nodded and glanced at her.
Claire's intuition niggled. This was not a good thing.
That had not been a good glance.
A clinical psychologist? Her mind sorted through the notebooks filled with English lessons and vocabulary her mother had left her. A psychologist was a physician of the mind. Why had he mentioned that to the waitress? Did he think Claire was crazy?
She sucked in a breath. Her alarm factor ratcheted upward. She had to get out of here. What had seemed like a safe refuge a moment ago didn't seem so anymore. Houses, she had no idea who to trust in this world, which meant she could trust no one.
She lifted her gaze to the window and saw the darker-skinned Atrika staring in at her. His eyes were shadowed and full of menace. He parted his lips and flashed fang at her—a silent promise.
The bell on the door behind her jingled and she turned to see the other Atrika, masking as human, enter the diner. This one was lighter than the other—tall, blond, broad-shouldered. Ripped with muscle, this one could break her bones with a twist of his wrist. This was the one she thought was called Tevan. If it was Tevan, he was one of the leaders of the Atrika uprising. A commander.
Oddly, he looked like Rue. It made her throat close with longing for home—safe, warm home. She had mixed feelings about the Ytrayi, but right now the thought of them was a familiar comfort in a world of threat.
Hundreds of years ago, the Ytrayi—leading two of the other daaeman breeds—had tried to exterminate all Atrika from the face of Eudae. They'd missed pockets of them and those survivors had gone underground, vowing to take Eudae for themselves one day. The attempted genocide had fueled an already growing war between the breeds.
The one she thought was Tevan caught her gaze for one long moment and she couldn't look away. Violent promise shimmered deep in his dark blue eyes. He ducked into a booth and pretended to read the plastic menu. He still wore his fighting leathers from head to toe and drew many curious glances.
All of the daaeman breeds, there were four of them, could mask their appearance through magick. An Atrika could appear to be Ytrayi or Syari or Mandari, for example. They only showed their true faces when angered or on a hunt. At the moment Tevan was indistinguishable from any other male in the restaurant, but for his powerful build.
Claire turned back around, her heart thumping. She pasted a purposefully bland look on her face. It would not help to allow the Atrika to know how badly they frightened her. They loved it when their prey was afraid. It made the hunt that much more fulfilling to them, made them want to be more savage once they caught their prey.
Claire took a second glance around her surroundings, noting the entrance to the kitchen and a small hallway leading to two doors nearby. There was probably a back exit, but she couldn't go that way. The second Atrika was undoubtedly on the other side of it by now; he'd disappeared from the sidewalk in front. She needed a window or something that let out on the side of the building.
The clinical psychologist turned back to her, a tight little smile on his face. "Please, let's sit down. I ordered a nice orange juice for you."
Claire didn't know what this nice orange juice was, but she wanted no part of it. "I need to, uhm . . ."
He took her by the upper arm and led her to a booth. "Just sit with me a little. I want to talk to you about the . . . demons."
Yes, now she heard the disbelief in his voice when he said the word demon, heard the hesitation. Perhaps the witches here were underground. Maybe the humans knew nothing of them or daaeman, nothing of their intersection with the people of Eudae in their ancient past.
How could they be so ignorant?
Claire slid uneasily into the booth, feeling the slick plastic beneath the fabric of her dress. At least it was warm in here. A moment later the waitress set a tall glass of bright liquid in front of her.
The man leaned forward, making the plastic beneath him creak. "Claire, do you know what year it is?"
She didn't. Claire stared hard at the tabletop.
"Claire? Do you know what country you're in?"
That one she knew. She looked up. "The United States."
The man smiled. "Very good. Yes, you're here in Chicago, among friends. Do you know who the president of the United States is?"
She could take it no longer. "Of course I don't! I've been trapped in a demon dimension for twenty-five years, since I was six years old! I only just came back a day ago, after being forced to ingest a ball of magick I shouldn't be carrying and then pushed through an interdimensional doorway. I am being chased by two of the most aggressive of the four demon breeds for that magick. They'll kill me to get it." She pursed her lips together and stared at his dropped jaw and wide eyes. "So, you see, sir, I do not want to sit here and answer meaningless questions about who your president is."
Outside a high-pitched whine grew louder. She frowned, glancing out the window. Something approached. What was that horrid sound?
"I've called some people to come and help you, Claire."
Another laugh burbled from her depths. "Help me? No one can help me now. Most especially not you." She slid from the booth and bolted for the kitchen. Behind her, she heard the Atrika rise and follow her, his footsteps heavy on the shiny floor.
The man also followed her, yelling at her to stop. She glanced back, seeing Tevan shove him to the side. The human male went sprawling against the counter and careened to the floor while the diner's patrons gasped.
She plunged through the doorway and into the kitchen, immediately becoming engulfed in strange greasy odors. Claire skidded to a stop in front of a cook who stood slack-jawed, loosely holding some sort of food preparation implement.
Claire ran down the stairs near the man, the only exit available to her. Hearing heavy tread behind her, she raced to the only safe place she could see—a doorway leading into some sort of storage room—and slammed the door closed behind her.
She pulled a shelf filled with cans and food sacks over in front of the door just as the Atrika hit it on the other side with teeth-rattling strength. Tevan bellowed in outrage even as she wedged the shelving into a space that would prevent him from pushing the door open.
She had one advantage. The daaeman wouldn't be able to jump—teletransport themselves—for a couple of days. They needed to find true equilibrium with the vibrational frequency of this dimension before they could do that. The molecules of this place moved slower than those of Eudae, and to bend space to jump before they found a balance might kill them.
She should be so lucky.
Claire whirled, eyes wide and breathing hard. Her magick pulsed within her chest, tingled through her arms and legs, begging for release, but it was in there, mixed with the other, strange daaeman magick. She had to deny it.
Copper? Was there any copper here? All the daaeman breeds were allergic to it. It was banned on Eudae, even dug up and disposed of in toxic waste areas, but here on Earth it wouldn't be. She saw none in her vicinity that she could identify. Too bad, since likely Tevan and his friend hadn't yet been able to develop any partial protection against the metal.
Tevan pushed and yelled on the opposite side of the doorway. It was only a question of time before he found a way through magickally.
Time to leave. Frantically, she searched for a way out.
There! A small window close to the ceiling, above a low counter strewn with cans of vegetables. Apparently, this room was mostly underground.
Behind her, the door opened a crack and the metal of the shelving bent. "I am Tevan, commander in the Atrikan military, and I almost have you, little witch."
CLAIRE SCRAMBLED ONTO THE COUNTER AND unlocked the window. Her movements made oddly precise from the terror coursing through her, she pushed with all her might until the old window gave and slid upward. She pulled herself out of the opening, standing on cans to boost herself upward.
Immediately, hands clamped down on her shoulders and yanked her up like she weighed nothing. She struggled, kicking and screaming, thinking it was the other daaeman who'd come around to guard the window.
"Stay still! We're trying to help you!" demanded a gravelly voice.
Four hands pushed her down to the cold pavement. "Let me go! They're after me. Please!" she cried.
"Yeah, yeah. We know. Demons are chasing you, right?"
Strong arms yanked her to a standing position. She found herself blinking up into the faces of two tall men, one with dark skin and the other with light. They wore uniforms. She struggled for a moment, trying to place it . . . ah, they were policemen. Meant to protect and serve. Guardians of the peace, protectors of the innocent. She relaxed. She was safe.
"Claire, right?" asked the dark-skinned officer.
Glancing around at the dank, narrow passageway between the buildings, she nodded. Where had the Atrika gone?
"I'm Officer Adams and this is Officer Evans. We're going to take you in, get you some help." He began to draw her toward the street, but she dug her heels in. The officer stopped and turned toward her with a sigh. "We're going to make sure the demons don't get you, all right?"
His tone. She frowned. He sounded like she was his tenth crazy person that day and he was weary of all of them.
"How can you protect me from the demons when you don't believe in them?"
Officer Evans took out a pair of cuffs on a sigh. "Look, lady. We're almost off shift, you know? Why don't you let us bring you in nice and easy, without cuffs. I understand you were being chased by some man . . . was that your boyfriend, honey? There's another unit around front, dealing with him. You can press charges against him at the station. So, let's just go, okay?"
"I can't go to your station. If I go with you now, the demons will find me and kill me."
"That's it." He grabbed her and forced her arms behind her back. The snick of the cuffs around her wrists declared her truly in trouble. He mumbled a bunch of meaningless words at her while he secured her.

Multiplatform Package Manager
After seven months of development, the highly portable, distribution independent package manager RPM 5.0.0 has now been released.
The package management system, which was originally developed by Red Hat, has been reworked by a project team in collaboration with OpenPKG starting in spring 2007. The rework involved rewriting or updating major parts of the code. The build environment, which is based on automake, autoconf and libtool was programmed completely from scratch. Support is now available for external links to third party libraries. Support for obsolete RPMRC files has been dropped; the configuration now uses RPM throughout.
The RPM code can now be compiled with almost any C complier, including GNU GCC, Sun Studio, and Intel C/C++ on most major platforms, such as BSD, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin. Besides LZMA compression RPM now also supports the XML archive file format (XAR). Support for the older RPMv3 format has been dropped due to code cleanups and simplification. The software will still support RPMv4 type packages.
New features for package specifications have been added (spec files) including new tags and sections. All changes and new features are described in the official announcement.
The RPM command line tool was developed by Erik Troan and Marc Ewing in 1997 as the "Red Hat Package Manager" and later renamed to "RPM Package Manager". The package manager was adopted later by other distributions and platforms such as Suse, Mandriva and AIX with ongoing development by the community. It remains to be seen whether RPM 5.0 will succeed. Neither Red Hat nor Novell support the project. Instead, they have their own versions of the package manager. The source code for RPM 5.0 is available from the project website.

- - 2 new sterbai corydoras not moving in quarantine tank (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/catfish/2-new-sterbai-corydoras-not-moving-19483/)
2 new sterbai corydoras not moving in quarantine tank
I'm a bit worried about my two new sterbai corydoras. I brought them home and acclimatised them to my 10 gal quarantine tank at around 4pm, since then they both have been sitting in the same spot and it is 9pm now....
I did add some aquarium salt tto the tank about 10 mins before adding them because I learned that a little salt in a quarantine tank is a beneficial tonic... I will be moving them to my 32 gallon after I'm done treating it for ich and I can be sure the cory's in the quarantine tank don't have ich...
Any suggestion? tips?
Don't add salt as cories are sensitive to it. You might want to do a water change to dilute the salt that is in the tank. They may just need time to adjust to their new environment. Do you have any plants or caves for the cories to hide in. Also, they like to be in groups so there only being 2 of them is probably also making them shy.

FDA Panel Backs Drug for Rare Type of Leukemia
MedPageToday, 2012WASHINGTON -- An FDA advisory committee has tepidly endorsed vincristine sulfate liposomal injection (Marqibo) to treat adults with a rare type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee voted 7-4, with two panelists abstaining, that the benefits outweigh the risks for vincristine sulfate liposomal injection for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in second or greater relapse or who have failed at least two prior treatments with other anti-leukemia drugs.
Adult ALL is one of the rarest types of cancer -- there are about 2,000 new cases of adult ALL diagnosed each year in the U.S.
Although panelists were only lukewarm about data presented by Talon Pharmaceuticals, the maker of vincristine sulfate liposomal injection, most felt having the option for patients was better than not having the option.
If the FDA agrees with the panel's decision, it would then grant the drug an accelerated approval, which would allow it to come to market even as the company was performing another study to prove the drug really works.
Talon is seeking approval for vincristine sulfate liposomal injection, or VSLI for short, as a monotherapy injectable form of the drug.
Giving the drug via injection means the patient doesn't have to spend time in the hospital receiving multi-agent chemotherapy.
On Wednesday morning, the panel reviewed Talon's phase II single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation trial of 65 Ph- ALL patients who had failed two or more previous anti-leukemia treatments.
The study's endpoint was rate of complete remission with or without complete blood count recovery (known as CRघ).
Ten of the 65 patients (15.4%) achieved complete remission (judged by an examination of bone marrow) that lasted for a median of 28 days.
Talon pointed to another endpoint in its briefing documents: Median overall survival in the entire population treated was 4.6 months, while those who achieved CRघ lived an average of 7.7 months.

Insectlike plantlets
Little mites that live between
Layers of tree bark,
Containing chlorophyll and
Converting food from sunlight.
Mobile plants able
To move round like animals,
Sucking nutrients
From the trees and other plants,
That they burrow around in.
Harmlessly they move
Around the bark like insects,
Burrowing about
Digging deep into the wood,
Of the plants they live upon.

Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB Linux Test Suite Benchmarks
One question we get a lot around here is whether or not ARM is the top choice out there. Of course, ARM hardware is easy to acquire, but in terms of turn key installation, Intel is still much easier to integrate at this point. We did decide to start running the Linux test suite on a few ARM platforms. The first of which is the mega-popular Raspberry Pi 512MB model. We installed Raspbian and tried our Linux test suite. Luckily, almost everything worked, except the crafty chess benchmark. Otherwise, there are certainly some interesting results. Let's take a look.
Test Configuration
Since the Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB platform is pre-configured, we did minimal configuration to the setup. The onboard Broadcom BCM2835 700MHz ARM1176JZFS processor and 512MB of RAM were enough to run a basic web server.
- ARM Platform: Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB
- SecureDigital: Sandisk Extreme 8GB
Power was driven by a 2.0A wall adapter. Overall hardware setup time was measured in about a minute. Raspberry Pi's are easy to get running.
Benchmarking the Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB
First off, this is clearly not the type of workload that one would want to run on a Raspberry Pi. Some of the benchmarks were very slow. We did make one modification. Our crafty chess benchmark would not run using our default test settings so we are not presenting results here for that test.
Hardinfo Performance
hardinfo is a well known Linux benchmark that has been around for years. It tests a number of CPU performance aspects.
Here we see the Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB put forth an effort similar to the Intel Atom S1260 in many ways. On another hand, the FPU test is showing the Intel Atom S1260 being about 5x faster.
UnixBench 5.1.3 Performance
UnixBench may be a defacto standard for Linux benchmarking these days. There are two main versions, one that tests single CPU performance on that tests multiple CPU performance. UnixBench segments these results. We run both sets of CPU tests. Here are the single threaded results:
Again, with UnixBench 5.1.3 running in single threaded mode we see the Raspberry Pi 512MB at the bottom of the pack. It is performing in the same realm as the Amazon AWS EC2 t1.micro instance type and the Intel Atom S1260.
When multi-threaded results are run, the key takeaway is that the Raspberry Pi is a single core design. As a result, it does not run a multi-threaded workload.
c-ray 1.1 Performance
c-ray is a very interesting ray tracing benchmark. It provides both consistent results and some clear separation. Ray tracing is generally a great multithreaded CPU benchmark. For this test we use both a simple 7500×3500 render and a more complex 1920×1200 render. Here are the results:
This test is very compute intensive. As a result the Raspberry Pi can run our "simple" render in just under five minutes, or in about 298x the time of the dual Intel Xeon E5-2430L setup. Moving to our more complex render, required because so many modern configurations can handle our first render in 1 second, we see the Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB fall behind in the benchmark. 7243 seconds is just over two hours for the Raspberry Pi rendering. In contrast, the Intel Atom S1260 takes under 22 minutes. A faster setup such as a Haswell based Intel Xeon E3-1220 V3 will run the more complex render test about 181 times faster than the Raspberry Pi.
Phoronix Test Suite Performance
We are using four tests from the Phoronix Test Suite: pts/stream, pts/compress-7zip, pts/openssl and pts/pybench.
- STREAM by John D. McCalpin, Ph.D. is a very well known memory benchmark benchmark. S
- 7-zip compression benchmarks were a mainstay in our Windows suite so we are including it again on the Linux side as a compression benchmark.
- The pts/openssl benchmark is very dependent on the CPU architecture being used
- Python is a widely used scripting language and pyBench is a nice single-threaded Python benchmark.
Here are the results of the Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks:
Here we see again the Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB be more similar in terms of performance to the Intel Atom S1260 or the Amazon EC2 t1.micro cloud instance. One thing we saw putting together the test suite was that the t1.micro's burst compute speed did skew some results including that of our pts tests.
Overall, the Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB is not the fastest platform around. At the same time, as a very basic web server, it can probably handle the task. If one had a very simple HTML website that received low traffic, there is a good chance the Raspberry Pi could run that workload without an issue. More complex calculations and dynamic image resizing may present more of a challenge. Overall, the Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB is an interesting low power server platform.

"…A faster setup such as a Haswell based Intel Xeon E3-1220 V3 will run the more complex render test about 181 times faster than the Raspberry Pi…."
How does it cut time 181 times? From 7243 seconds down to…? Or do you mean "render test on about 181th time, 1/181"?

The Raspberry Pi costs 35 bucks.

These tests you have run are pure CPU driven. What Is the point of comparing the CPU output of a Pi agains a Dual Intel Xeon. I don't need it to know that it is going to be slow. And you have not checked the power of the GPU, which can render HD videos without a problem. And here is the other place in which a Pi is unbeatable given the price: an HTPC.
The conclusion of this is that a $35 devices is 100 slower than a $3500 one… a no brainer.
June 24, 2013 at 5:24 am
JC – To me this is a good data point. I would rather know how much my $35 gets me. Believe it or not — some of us do web development and find this interesting.
May 12, 2016 at 9:59 am
The point of this video isn't "lol the Pi sucks lol buy Intel." People don't collect empirical data of new hardware and compare it to something familiar because they are Intel or Pi fanboys, they do it because they want some point of reference so as to know what the device is capable of.
By the way, it's not "GPU Power" that is rendering HD videos. Just like the CPU and GPU are part of an SoC package on the same silicon package, so is the hardware video decoder and other dedicated chips. I guess you could call it part of the "GPU" but it's not a matter of "power" as video decoding has little to nothing to do with the "power of the GPU," how many flops it can push or how many shaders it has or how much FPS or how much Compute power it has isn't what gets the job done, it has a hardware MPEG decoder, it doesn't need general purpose compute device like a GPU to do the work. Besides even if it relied on shaders and compute capabilities alone to do the most intense and difficult parts of the task, which it doesn't, it is irrelevant because it doesn't have OpenCL driver/support so nobody can program for it anyway.
May 12, 2016 at 10:01 am
In other words, MPEG decoding performance is not representative of much if anything else the GPU is capable of.
May 12, 2016 at 10:15 am
Also, you might not be aware but many people do a lot more with their computers than watch porn/movies/youtube and exchange cat photos and try to claim oppressed victim status on Twitter and Facebook.
Some people actually use computers to perform calculations, or load/store data. The range of processing power needed for that task can range all the way from a Pi to a Dual Xeon, thus the need for comparing the two.
I also see the CPU in the Intel Compute Stick listed in this chart too, which is a 75$ device that performs almost 5x faster for about double the money. The latest model can also decode not only Full HD but HVEC 2k and 4k video, which enables the viewer to enjoy QHD and UHD Netflix and Youtube streaming among others in the future.
Obviously the Pi is not a "no brainier," actually, you might want to reconsider not using your brain in the future.
June 28, 2013 at 4:30 am
I agree with the comments above… I would like to see the GPU measured as well as seeing the results if the Pi is over locked into turbo mode…
It's only £30, but it would be good to get a broader picture of comparison..

The Avett Brothers shine at the Shrine
Back in 2010, when North Carolina's Avett Brothers were touring behind their fantastic, critically acclaimed platter I and Love and You, the Americana group played both the next-big-thing Coachella fest and its country sibling, Stagecoach. They are one of only a small handful of acts to ever do so, and among the first to really cross over from the small, cultish alt-country scene into the indie-rock mainstream.
Granted, they've only ever flirted with that sort of success, as they have never really had anything resembling a radio hit, just recognition from outlets like Rolling Stone and Mojo and Paste that they are exceptionally good at what they do.
What a difference three years makes – now the old-timey, acoustic-guitar-driven, mostly-country-but-kinda-rock sound that the Avetts have been developing for a decade couldn't be more mainstream. Mumford and Sons co-opted it wholesale and snagged a Grammy for album of the year in the process, and there's a bevy of increasingly popular bands (the Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men) who wear fedoras and beards and sing quaint folk songs that could have come from '40s Appalachia, were it not for occasionally self-referential shout-outs to Brooklyn instead of the mountains.
But the Avetts, while becoming a concert draw that continues to garner larger audiences, still haven't hit the big time the way those more recent acts have. They're still a cult band, albeit in the best possible way.
What has changed since those fest shows in 2010? Namely, confidence.
At their superlative show Wednesday night at the Shrine Auditorium near USC, brothers Scott and Seth Avett no longer played the part of aw-shucks hucksters; instead, they both convincingly presented new personas as would-be rock gods, holding their fingers up to the air to encourage sing-alongs, running through the audience, and just generally rocking out. On multiple occasions, the brothers put away their acoustic instruments and grabbed electric ones, shredding like Queens of the Stone Age, distortion pedals and all.
Yet it was the quiet moments that really resonated. When Scott movingly played "The Ballad of Love and Hate," solo and starkly at the front of the stage, it rattled with emotion. During "I and Love and You," they insisted the audience sing the refrain over and over, drawing in the nearly capacity crowd for the equivalent of a group hug.
When the Avetts are at their best, they're essentially the band Wilco would have been if they had never veered into the experiments of Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, instead living the country life all the way through, with an honesty that can't be faked. This show hit those peaks time and again.
Now all the Avetts need is a bit unpredictable magic to put them in the same commercial territory as those other groups who have nabbed radio slots they so richly deserve.

Pros: Tetsuol you need to do a little more research when ever you read OEM it means it's a plain drive. Every once in awhile a manufacture may include a copy of NERO or they may give you a cable but they do not have to. ASUS makes good DVD Drives I had some in the past.
Cons: none yet
Other Thoughts: Tetsuol you may want to contact ASUS they might send you a cable if you tell them you are a NOOB and explain you situation. Good Luck and wish you the best.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: WD Green Drives are great drives for backup and storage use them in external enclosures and they run cool put them stacked on top of one another and they run cool
Cons: none yet all have worked
Other Thoughts: The Black series work great as a primary drive so do the Blue series, Green drives are for storage. If you have a case with 4 to 5, 3.5 HDD bays make your primary or top bay a Black series and the others in between Green and you will not regret it they stay cool.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Great case for the money nice cable management wires are long enough to reach the motherboard. Great Color cool looking powder coat on the inside. The case is light yet sturdy. Nice front facing HD mount.
Cons: It was not free
Other Thoughts: For those of you guys complaining about the top fan mounts I had no problem installing 2 140mm Aerocooler fans they are slim and move a lot of air. As for the side panel when you install a 120mm fan it becomes nice and sturdy. Those of you complaining about the front facing HD mount all my wires are to the back of the case. Oh by the way make sure you use angle sata data connectors otherwise you just might break the connection on your HD :-( lolREAD FULL REVIEW

- Status Closed
- Budget $30 - $250 USD
- Total Bids 22
Project Description
I am looking for 4 icons that will be placed on my website's home page.
I have attached a mock up of the home page so you can see the colors and fit your designs to it.
The size should be around Width = 32px Height = 32px (maybe a bit bigger)
That's fairly small so please take into consideration - there is not too much room for many details in the icons.
Icon 1: Should relate to musicians.
You are welcome to suggest something or do a guy singing with a microphone OR
a guy playing an electric guitar.
Icon 2: Should relate to business owners. so a guy in a business suite or something that fits business owners or maybe a store of some kind.
Icon 3: This icon is harder to explain. Basically I need something to relate to people that do Video Blogging on YouTube.
So maybe something like a laptop with a person's face on the laptop's screen - I would like to hear your suggestion as well.
Icon 4: Should relate to online marketers/affiliate marketers/ online advertisers - I will need your help figuring out what to do here.
Each Icon should be done in 3 variations so the total number of icons is 12.

Don't expect too much from Maya Moore
Maya Moore is a special player, probably as ready to adjust seamlessly to the professional ranks as any player since Candace Parker came into the WNBA in 2008.
But to expect that Moore would come into the WNBA against the best players in the world and dominate that's just not fair to her.
Moore made her WNBA debut for the Minnesota Lynx last week in a preseason-opening win over Indiana. She finished with four points and five rebounds in 22 minutes, her playing time limited by foul trouble.
She admitted her that pro debut was "not exactly what I wanted.
"I thought we made a little bit of progress from some of the initial jitters, working into the flow of this level, just working those things out," Moore said after the game in quotes provided by the media relations department. "I don't like to necessarily base my performance on points, because like Coach was saying, there's a lot of ways you can impact the game, so that's what I try to do. I try to get some assists, get some rebounds, force some tough shots.
"Overall I'm definitely not satisfied with where I am. I want to keep getting better and keep getting more consistent and staying out of foul trouble too."
Any doubt she can do it? None here.
SHE'S NOT COMING BACK: Even as her peer Sheryl Swoopes attempts a comeback in Tulsa, Lisa Leslie reiterated last week to USA Today that she is done playing in the WNBA. And really, that's no big surprise.
Leslie had her retirement tour, said her goodbyes, had a second baby and has a TV career. She's done.
What's the difference between the 38-year-old Leslie and the 40-year-old Swoopes, the three-time MVP who is trying to break back into the WNBA after a two-year absence?
Closure. Swoopes never got it. She was released by Seattle in 2008 while recovering from back problems. She played overseas, but was not picked up by another WNBA team.
That's no way to close a career for a player who won four titles in Houston. Swoopes is trying to write a happy ending. Leslie already has hers.
INJURED LIST: Jayne Appel was healthy and feeling good, ready for a breakout opportunity in San Antonio, but the injury bug has struck the former Stanford star again. Appel will be out three to four weeks to repair a torn meniscus in her left knee, a knee that already has had two surgeries. And when she comes back, it's catch-up time again.
Luckily, it's considered a "minor" tear. She will miss the team's two preseason games and likely the Stars' first four regular-season games.
Tina Charles missed much of the U.S. national team training camp this month, recovering from an ankle injury sustained in Europe, but she looks to be on the mend after her 10-point, 10-rebound performance for the Sun against the Chinese national team May 19.
NEW ROLE FOR SMITH: Katie Smith is back with Seattle Storm coach Brian Agler -- the two were together in Columbus in the former American Basketball League in the late 1990s, when Smith was one of the game's biggest stars. But Smith is playing the final years of her career, and it looks as if she's going to be playing them off the bench for the defending WNBA champion Storm.
Unless she can't play at all. Smith sat out last week's exhibition loss to the Los Angeles Sparks with a knee-high rehabilitation boot on her right foot. Agler said she is experiencing Achilles tendinitis.

Productive procrastination is a great inbetween, so we're putting together a list of what types of activities work best. Distractions, side projects, and procrastination are all great for your general productivity, but you have to do it right. Speaking with Nautilus, researcher James Bursley suggests that "You want a distractor that's pretty far away from what you want to process unconsciously." So, if you're a writer, you probably shouldn't write, or if you're a coder, you shouldn't code. Everyone productivity wastes time a bit differently (and if you have only 30 seconds we have you covered there, but we're thinking more in the 5-15 minute range here), so we want to collect a list of the best ways to do it. Here's how to submit your tip: Include one tip per comment, please: Let's keep this list simple to read. If you want to make multiple suggestions, make multiple comments.Try not to repeat: If someone else does what you do, star their comment and add your own experience instead of making a new post.Tell us why it works for you: Everyone's a bit different, so tell us a bit about your experiences and how you procrastinate while still getting things done.With that, let's get started!

Best Poem of Sir John Carr
Epigram On Winning A Young Lady's Money At Cards
How fairly Fortune all her gifts imparts;
We win your money, Ann, and you our hearts.
A Song Ii
When stormy show'rs from Heav'n descend,
And with their weight the lily bend,
The Sun will soon his aid bestow,
And drink the drops that laid it low.
Oh! thus, when sorrow wrings the heart,
A sigh may rise, a tear may start;
Pity shall soon the face impress
With all its looks of happiness.
