"My sales people aren't producing," a staffing client complained to me recently. "Their activity level is high but the business is just not coming in like it did this time last year. How can I leverage their time better?" " Leverage is the key word here. The economics of sales activity have changed, and leveraging your sales people's time has become the sine qua non of sales management. Let staffing sales staff continue on their old way of prospecting, and soon you'll find them not meeting quota and looking elsewhere for work if you haven't sent them packing already.
The Power of Doing What You Love
Inflexion Advisors
Angel Echevarria is nineteen years old. Unlike his peers, Angel doesn't listen to rap music or hip-hop but instead prefers contemporary salsa and Latin jazz. But like most kids, he looks uncomfortable in a suit and tie and generally comes across as shy and soft spoken in public. This is, of course, until he sits down in front of a piano. . When these artists took the stage you could sense that they simply could not wait to do what they love. And each of them went through a metamorphosis from the grand introduction to that very first note. The most profound was 74 year old Marsalis. .

Quiet Days in Burgundy by Marc Abeles
Book DescriptionThis ethnographic study of political life in the department of the Yonne, in the Burgundy region, explores a still richly Balzacian provincial world. The author, a French anthropologist, has extensive field experience in Ethiopia. Deploying the insights and methods of social anthropology by drawing on local history, interviews and participant observation, Abeles describes politicians at every level, from municipal officers to Members of Parliament and Ministers. He provides a clear picture of the process of 'decentralization' initiated by the Socialist government in 1982, and undermines the simplistic notion of 'centralist France'. This book, which develops a fresh perspective on political life in France, past and present, illustrates more generally an exciting approach to modern political phenomena, from the point of view of anthropology.

Yes, marijuana is HIGHLY illegal unless we're talking about the Netherlands, so this won't do much good, but I found a site that talks about it (not in flowers, though): http://www.marijuana-tea.com. This says basic things about it, and there's a link to recipies.
Isn't this a tea forum? Although one could say "grass" tea is an "herbal" tea . Neat idea.

This is an application for renewal of a grant to study picornavirus genome replication. All positive-strand RNA viruses hijack and/or remodel host membranes to create an organelle that serves as the site of genome replication. Poliovirus has served as an important model system for elucidation of viral factors, host factors and corresponding interactions required for biogenesis of the replication organelle. Historically, our laboratory has been interested in the process of genome replication and elucidation of the roles of P3-encoded proteins in this process. During the previous funding period, we made the unexpected observation that the PV protease and RNA-binding protein, 3CD, contributes to formation of the replication organelle and is needed for this organelle to efficiently transfer replicated genomes from the site of synthesis into capsids. Interestingly, the role of 3CD in formation of the replication organelle is concentration dependent and can be complemented in trans, suggesting an interaction of 3CD with a host factor. Recently, the Altan-Bonnet lab showed that phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) increases in abundance during picornavirus infection and localizes to the replication organelle. How a lipid contributes to formation and/or function of the replication organelle remains to be elucidated. However, we have now shown that ectopic expression of 3CD is sufficient to alter the localization and perhaps even increase the abundance of PI4P lipids in cells. In addition, our biochemical, biophysical and computational experiments support the conclusion that PV 3CD is a phosphoinositide-binding protein. These observations, placed into the context of the pioneering work of Belov and Ehrenfeld showing that PV 3CD interacts with membranes and is sufficient for activation of Arf1, a small G protein involved in phosphoinositide metabolism and other transactions of/on membranes, leads to the central hypothesis driving the aims of this application. We propose that 3CD binding to membranes is governed, at least in part, by the interaction of this protein with PI4P and perhaps other phosphoinositides. The membranes hijacked for incorporation may therefore change as a function of time post-infection in a manner dependent on both the strength of the 3CD-phosphoinositide interaction and concentration of 3CD. With different phosphoinositides come different effectors that may change the composition, form and/or function of the replication organelle. Temporal alterations in function would include a transition from replication to encapsidation. Activation of Arf1 and/or its homologues on the different membranes may contribute to changes to the phoshphoinositide pools expressed on the replication organelle during infection, with the potential for negative consequences on pathways that rely on "normal" levels and localization of the these lipids. During the next funding period, we will test this model by pursuing the following specific aims: (1) Elucidation of the mechanism and function for induction of PI4P by 3CD;(2) Elucidation of the mechanism and function for phosphoinositide binding to 3CD;(3) Elucidation of the mechanism and function for induction of other phosphoinositides during PV infection.
Picornaviruses represent an existing and emerging threat to US public health. Achievement of the goals of the application will provide novel targets and mechanisms for development of inhibitors to treat infections by picornaviruses, especially those for which vaccines are not available.

We're Black and Blue All Over:
PHOENIX -- And just like that, we've hit the final day of the NFL owners meeting. It'll be a busy one for us in the NFC North, beginning with an early-morning breakfast (at least in the Mountain Time Zone) that includes all four of our coaches and continuing with votes on several important rule-change proposals.
The coaches' breakfast should conclude at about 11:15 a.m. ET and I'll start blogging as quickly as I can after that. My initial plan is to prioritize Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman and Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz after spending a fair amount of time blogging earlier this week on the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. We'll see how it works out.
For now, our morning tour:
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel examines the issues involved in the Packers' upcoming contract negotiations with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy bristles when asked if his team is tough enough. Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette addresses the question.
One indicator, notes Jason Wilde of ESPNMilwaukee.com, was that the Packers forced only eight fumbles last season.
Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman recently traveled to London to inspect football operations aspects of the team's upcoming regular-season game there, notes Dan Wiederer of the Star Tribune.
What does it mean that Vikings receiver Greg Jennings is a great "route-runner?" Tom Pelissero of 1500ESPN.com explains.
Lions president Tom Lewand is not concerned about the team having long-range salary-cap problems, writes Anwar S. Richardson of Mlive.com. Lewand: "We always have a plan for our cap."
The Lions haven't gotten far in contract negotiations with free-agent place-kicker Jason Hanson, according to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News.
Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press: "If you're forced to fill three interior line holes with inexperience, you had better fill one with either Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel or Central Michigan's Eric Fisher, the top-graded left tackles in the draft pool."
About 40 percent of the Bears' starting lineup will be made up of players signed from other teams. Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune explains why.
There are plenty of free agents left for the Bears to sign, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Former Bears cornerback D.J. Moore signed with the Carolina Panthers, notes Jeff Dickerson of ESPNChicago.com.

Asset Allocation and Risk Assessment with Gross Exposure Constraints for Vast Portfolios

November 26, 2008
Markowitz (1952, 1959) laid down the ground-breaking work on the mean-variance analysis. Under his framework, the theoretical optimal allocation vector can be very different from the estimated one for large portfolios due to the intrinsic difficulty of estimating a vast covariance matrix and return vector. This can result in adverse performance in portfolio selected based on empirical data due to the accumulation of estimation errors. We address this problem by introducing the gross-exposure constrained mean-variance portfolio selection. We show that with gross-exposure constraint the empirically selected optimal portfolios based on estimated covariance matrices have similar performance to the theoretical optimal portfolios and there is no error accumulation effect from estimation of vast covariance matrices. This gives theoretical justification to the empirical results in Jagannathan and Ma (2003). We also show that the no-short-sale portfolio is not diversified enough and can be improved by allowing some short positions. As the constraint on short sales relaxes, the number of selected assets gradually increases and finally reaches the total number of stocks when tracking portfolios or selecting assets. This achieves the optimal sparse portfolio selection, which has close performance to the theoretical optimal one. Among 1000 stocks, for example, we are able to identify all optimal subsets of portfolios of different sizes, their associated allocation vectors, and their estimated risks. The utility of our new approach is illustrated by simulation and empirical studies on the 100 Fama-French industrial portfolios and the 600 stocks randomly selected from Russell 3000.

Right when it marks the two weeks of me being late momma walked in when I was half awake. "Go to the bathroom please." She said and I did as I was told. "Anything?" She asked me I shook my head no. "Stress did not cause this." She said I nodded. "Under the cabinet is a brown bag, open it and then use it." She said I nodded and did as I was told. Sure enough it was a pregnancy test. I followed the directions and walked back into my room where momma was. She held her arms open for me "No matter what that test tells you I will always be here for you. I wont turn my back on you. Your daddy shouldn't either. We will be here for you." She said I nodded and hugged her. The timer on my phone beeped so I got up to check it. I slowly made my way to where I hid it. I picked it up and slowly turned it over, I knew what would happen next would change my life forever but I wasn't sure how much. I slowly read the following words on that little stick: Pregnant. It read in plain sight, the words that I would dread forever. "Come on Lex, doctors." Momma said after seeing my face I nodded. We droved to the health clinic and a close to elderly age woman looked at momma. "It has been awhile." She said "yes ma'am." She said "Alexis Blevins." She said to the nurse and took the form. The woman was still staring at us "who is she?" I asked "a woman that was here when you were a baby." She said I nodded. "Alexis Blevins." The nurse called I got up and momma got up to follow me. "Do you want her in there with you miss?" The young nurse asked me. "Yes ma'am." I said she nodded and did my weight and everything. I peed in the cup like I was told to and we're waiting for the doctor. A woman in her 60's came in and smiled at momma. "Kelsey Blevins." She said and momma smiled "yes ma'am." She said and we went through the normal routine I guess. The blood work came back and she looked at it and then looked at me. "Miss Blevins you are pregnant. Two weeks along." She said I nodded "Come back in another two week for your first month check up." She said we nodded and went to make the appointment for the 8th. "We're meeting your dad for lunch at the diner by the beach. We will tell him then, before the girls will know. It would be a whole lot easier that way don't you think?" Momma asked me "yes ma'am I do." I said she nodded and started out the way toward the beach. We arrived at the diner right around the time daddy pulled up too. He smiled at us, kisses momma's lips and then hugs me. "This is a pleasant surprise." Daddy said and we smiled. We sat down outside and ordered. I smiled. "What is this all about?" Daddy asked momma and then looked at me. "Lexie?" Daddy asked me I swallowed back tears and began to speak "I'm pregnant daddy." I said slowly, I brought my eyes up to his eyes. I didn't see anger I only saw hurt in his eyes. "Alexis, I'm disappointed in you. Adoption or keeping the baby is the only option." He said "I want to keep the baby if that is okay with you two? I will still do school and even get a job." I said "Lexie, when I was pregnant with you and your sisters I stayed in school. It was also my senior year, you will be a junior. You will be enrolled in the Florida Virtual School where you will finish your high school before the baby is born." Momma said and I nodded. "I can't yell at you for I got a girl pregnant young, I was sixteen your age now." Daddy said and I nodded. "I just thought you wouldn't end up like this but you did and we can handle this as a family." Daddy said I smiled at him. We finished eating and droved home to my sisters. They were all sitting on the couch watching a movie. They cut it off when we walked in. "How did it go?" Savannah asked "What did you find out?" Lyndsey said "Tell us." Colleen said "We want to know." Alexa, Bailey, and Riley said. So I got all of their input and momma looked at me "I'm going to do the dishes." Momma said leaving me to tell my sisters the news. Only Lyndsey knew where we went because she over heard us talking and I had to tell her. "I am pregnant." I said and they did the normal responses. After dinner I was in my room and Lyndsey was on my bed. Savannah came in and sat on the floor. "I can't believe you're pregnant." She said "I know I didn't mean for this to happen. But this baby means me as much as I need it." I said momma has told me about what Grandma's Colie friend told her about being raped. "We will be here to support you all the way." Lyndsey said "Thank you guys." I said. "You need to call Ethan." Colleen said she had come in to join us. "I know I will tonight." I said she smiled. They all left not long after so I could call him. I went into my phone book and found his number and called him. I thought about hanging up while it was ringing but I knew I had to do it anyways. "Hello?" He asked "Hey Ethan, it's Lexie." I said "How are you Lex?" He asked "I have been better." I said "What's wrong?" He asked "I'm pregnant." I said "Oh, it's my baby isn't it?" He asked "Yeah you may have cheated on me but I didn't cheat on you." I said "I'm sorry that you're pregnant. I used a condom." He said "I know you did." I said "So what do you want from me?" He asked.

The meeting of opposites that Fiji hope will be a mismatch
IN DIFFERENT circumstances they could be the little and large of international rugby: Tom Smith, one of the smaller props in the business, and Jo Veitayaki, definitely the biggest — in this World Cup, anyway. They meet tomorrow, winner takes all.
It is the sort of clash that rugby was designed for: Big Jo against Whispering Tom; tight-head against loose-head; the loud, brash, cheerful islander against a man who has a reputation for being so quiet that you can barely hear him shout five feet away. The pair do have a tiny amount in common, apart from a shared role

Apache Loses Market Shares to Microsofts IIS
Bad news for Apache: according to Netcraft statistics, the free Web Server lost market shares to Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server in October.
In its survey in October, Netcraft saw Apache's market share drop to 47.73 percent while Microsoft IIS went to 37.13 percent. The gap of ten percent between Apache and IIS is the smallest that Netcraft has ever recorded since IIS was released in 1996. Apache dropped by 2.8 percent compared to September. The Web analysts identified the powerful growth of major blogging systems such as MySpace and Microsoft Live and the fact that 2.5 million domains were lost with Trouble-free.net as the reasons behind the losses.
SharepointI know quite a few of my customers got bought out by bigger companies and they shut down there Apache servers because the new company uses Microsoft Sharepoint which is IIS 7 based.

The column more popular than Leo Grillo's "Zyzzyx Road"!
The only guy who can still drink a large coffee – and must; it's like his crack – on a 36-degree day. Yep, the boy named at birth… Maxwell House.
Glug, Glug Glug, and what about…
SOME people. Believe me, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. I'm like Ellen Page at 'that time of the month' or Peter Jackson at a 'Hobbit' with New Line…
So here are the rules for 2007. Listen up bee-yatches.
It's all about scrubbing each others backs OK? So there will be no free plugs, no free promotions, no free banner ads and no free erotic massages…unless we get something of the same equivalent back. Yep, shock horror – this year, it's about the 'give'. Now, I'm only referring to a small amount of people/studios/publicists/filmmakers – and you probably know who you are – the rest of you are terrific : you've been supporting Moviehole for about 8 years now. You let us be the 'first' to see movies. You always offer us 1:1 long lead interviews. You're happy to have a drink at a premiere. You're happy to return an erotic massage when my joints are aching.
For the rest of you, remember this before you shoot a "big favour" email from here on out :
1. Get the name of the site right before you even attempt to twist our arm. It's Moviehole.net, and has been for 8 years now! Moviehole.com is a fuckin' search engine…. Do your research. Don't look like a knob.
2. No, we will not promote a movie by giving you free banner ads – cause, um, ya see, this is a business and we need to make money too, right? – or advertorials.
3. Turn us down for an interview, giveaway or don't notify us of a screening of a film… and you expect us to run generic interviews, promote the shit out of your film, and generally "do your job"? fuck you – and your lazy telephone skills.
4. No, we will not 'ammend' our reviews to make a film 3 stars instead of 2 stars to help box office sales. Sheesh.
5. If you wanna run a competition on the site, that's fine – just remember, we don't wanna be following up with you week after week for the prizes to be sent. And yes, we do NEED the prizes for the winners (one lot didn't end up sending down the prizes for a competition last year – they had forgotten – so we had to find alternative prizes for the winners).
6. You want us to review your film and/or promote the DVD release? Well, when we ask for a review copy of the film, you've gotta say "Sure, we'll send you one". As if we're going to review a DVD, or talk up something, that we haven't seen. For the love of Encino Man.
7. "Can you send us your database of readers – all their names and addresses for our databases?" No, we can't. Now do your fuckin' job.
8. It's called "thanks for your help on that Clint" not "we're going to need a few changes".
9. If you expect a prompt email reply – I do too. I know you're busy, but so are we, and don't want to be waiting 6 months to get a reply for something we consider important. And for those that NEVER reply – too common an occurrence in this game, not even the editors at a major newspaper here can get their emails replied by a couple of people!! – I hope you're your tampon hits you on the head when your twot decides its tight to fit in there.
10. I never wanted to hear this. Another MAJOR newspaper told me recently that they had called up a studio to source images for a film. You see, they were doing a major spread on this certain film and need some nice images to go with. The response they got from the publicist when they asked for stills? "I'm too busy for this stuff". That was on a Friday. The story was supposed to have been run that next week. Because they couldn't get images, it never was. He/She just shot himself/herself in the foot… and possibly just lost a few dollars for the film.
Glug, Glug Glug, and what about…..
Remember last week when I told you about variety pinching a story from CHUD? It was this one, the one about the D-grade Katy Heigl film making only $30 at the box office.
The more I think about it, the more it annoys me. I mean, it's happening too much – too many of these HUGE sites, but mainly newspapers and magazines, are pinching their content from film sites like ours..and CHUDs. Now, we as independently run film sites can look after each other – we may share our news, but we all credit each other – so why can't these big bastards just respect us? I mean, we're making their jobs so much easier. They get paid shitloads to simply cut and paste stories, whilst we get by on bread crumbs. Ain't exactly fair, hey?
We had a major tiff with a major Australian newspaper this year over the same argument. They were simply cutting and pasting Moviehole's stories and running them in their entertainment section and on their website. They didn't just a word. Not one word. They would even leave my rant's and personal opinions in there, ya know? Like "Here's a bit of news that I personally think sucks. I went and saw this movie last night with the wife and…" Yeah. They would leave that in there. Can you believe that? In other words, the only thing they didn't take was the 'written by Clint Morris' line at the top of the page. Nope, as far as the paper was concerned it was their entertainment editor writing all these articles. I wrote several times to the newspaper about the problem. They admitted that they were doing it, apologized, and said it wouldn't happen again. Their excuse? There's someone else filling in at the moment, so we can't take responsibility. What?! You can't take responsibility? Makes you wanna rip the nipple ring from their areola. A major newspaper can't take responsibility for their employees? Hmm. Thankfully, they eventually did stop doing it – but only after swiping a couple more articles, including the headlines we used! – but that didn't stop others from starting to do the same thing. News Wires, Tabloids, Papers…. They've all stolen our stories over the past year or so. But it's not just us. I've noticed stories from everywhere… Aint it Cool News, Dark Horizons, CHUD, JoBlo… at one time or another, someone was cut and paste their stories and made out that they're their own items. It's just wrong. Glad we can at least sleep at night.
I'm waiting for Variety to apologize to the guys at CHUD. Devin, Nick… they're all good guys over there, and they do a hell of a job, so that's the least they deserve.
Glug, Glug Glug, and what about…..
Film delays. Had a few emails over the past week concerning Greg McLean's new film "Rogue". As you may have heard, the film – a giant killer crocodile movie – has been postponed. It was originally due for release in February, but for fairly logical reasons, its now being released later in the year. Now, to answer your questions…. No, it doesn't suck. I was lucky enough to see the film last year and I can tell you that if it's a fun little killer croc movie you want, that's what you get. It hasn't been delayed because it's terrible, far from it. Here are the reasons, in my opinion, why the film has been delayed (rumour has it to August).
1. February is a dumping ground for movies. It's a month when absolute shit comes out. To have been taken out of this month is a GOOD thing. August, as is rumoured to be the new month of release, is a much better month for movies.
2. There's another giant crocodile movie in release at America at the moment. "Primeval" wasn't supposed to be coming out for a few months, but the distributor moved it up to January. Obviously, "Rogue" doesn't want to be associated with it – so they've been distanced themselves by pushing the film back.
3. The Weinstein's are trying to convince Radha Mitchell to ditch the top for a couple of scenes.
Just a guess.
Caffeinated Clint's knobhead of the week : Dose.CA (or is it Dose.US?) for their inability to actually look at the address bar whilst dialling up Moviehole. Um, that's Moviehole.net guys…. Or Moviehole.com.au/threesomesexpics-toddbridgeskathleenturnercharo.mpeg
Caffeinated Clint smiled when…. : Amber Tamblyn, Kristen Bell and Sarah Carter all turned up unexpected at my house last night, firstly offering to do the dishes, and then kindly asked whether I'd like my spatula cleane…. Ok, that's getting a bit much (especially from a grey-haired married man who needs to crank up the generator anytime its 'party night'). Nah, seriously, I smiled when I stumbled upon the dugpa.com site and read that the second season of "Twin Peaks" has finally been scheduled for DVD. Apparently it'll be out in out neck of the woods around April. And here's another reason to smile – David Lynch is also [finally] in talks to free those deleted "Fire Walk With Me" scenes for an upcoming DVD. Sweeter than Strawberry milk, hey?
Fab but [possibly] Forgotten : Anthony Edwards.
Remember Anthony? Or, as Robert Carradine calls him 'Tony'? he's been gone from our screens for a while now. To younger readers, he'll probably be best remembered for his long-running stint on TVs "E.R", but to older viewers he's probably best known as either Goose from "Top Gun" (1986), Gilbert from the "Revenge of the Nerds" (1984) movies, or Lance in Rob Reiner's "The Sure Thing" (1985). He was one of the busiest and most likable actors of the 80s, but did very little – besides "E.R" – in the 90s. His biggest credit in most recent years was "The Forgotten" with Julianne Moore. His first film in three years is this year's "Zodiac" co-starring Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo.
Please make this movie… : Ghostbusters 3. It'll never happen – mainly because Bill Murray doesn't wanna do it – but it's sad to think that there's two [potentially] good scripts out there (for a "Ghostbusters" 3 & 4), and they're never going to go to use. The writer, Danny Aykroyd, has been trying to get a new sequel up for years – at one stage even suggesting they bring in some 'new' cast members like Will Smith and Ben Stiller – but he's ran into more brick walls than a blind bicycler. Here's Ayrkoyd talking about the film's chance of getting made :
5 movies Caffeinated Clint sat through [possibly again] this week :
1. Mortal Kombat – I remember this being much cooler. Not to say Brigitte Wilson still doesn't look a million bucks in this thing, but the script, the direction and the basic storyline of this thing is a shambles. You can't help but wince whenever someone opens his or her mouth. Still, it IS still one of the most attractive video-game cum movies… and as I said, Wilson looks fine in it.
2. Lonely Hearts – The story itself is told too thinly to really captivate an audience – this is the kind of story that might seem better told on TV – but John Travolta does seem to be trying here. He's sleepwalked through most of his previous roles, so it's good to see Kelly's beau unleashing something resembling a performance again. Granted, the character he's playing is the real-life grandfather of the writer, so the pressure was on for him this time. Worked better than a gun to a head.
3. The 40 Year-Old Virgin – The more times I return to this movie, the better I like it. Never thought much of it first time around… now, I find it quite amusing. The cast is amazing in this – the guys have such camaraderie, the likes of which you don't see too much on screen. Especially like Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, hopefully they'll be doing more of this kind of crazy stuff in the future.
4. Gridiron Gang – With "Gridiron Gang", Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson gets to prove he's more than just, well, the next Schwarzenegger or Stallone – which most have pegged him up till now – and show us he's actually got what it takes to break out of that action-hero box. His performance in this film is gold – almost Denzel Washington gold. It's a multi-layered turn that pushes the film to much better heights than what it might've been with someone we couldn't relate to, or didn't care as much about. The guy is just so likeable. And there are a few scenes here, which he'll truly steal your heart in. This is undeniably The Rock's best film to date.
5. Lost in America – David Mickey Evans' (The director of "The Sandlot") has been trying to get me to watch this for years. I finally did. This is such a good movie. Not brilliant, but very good. Albert Brooks is always entertaining though, so this film could've been an out-and-out stinker and I would've sat there till the end. It's one of those films that's supposed to be a crazy comedy, but when you sit back and think about it, it's 'realer' than the scriptwriter might've thought at the time.
And finally,
Words of Wisdom from Mrs Caffeinated Clint :
(A scientist who seems to be able to sum up the world – or a movie – in just a few words, whilst the rest of us feel a page review isn't even sufficient).
"I don't care [what they say] – It's great. It's brilliant. I mean, Rocky taking down a huge Russian guy? Russia chanting 'Rocky, Rocky, Rocky' at the end of the movie? That's great!" – Mrs Morris on why "Rocky IV" is the most underrated sequel of the series.

"Canot execute Adjust Coordinates"

Updated by Miccey2 over 6 years ago
And trhat was by ME mounting the weapon...
The AI should be able to do it...
Updated by Sickboy over 6 years ago
You can use the same procedures for making the AI mounting/dismounting the weapons.
To fire I suppose you put the unit into the mortar as loader not in back, give him a target that he can reach and fire (number 3, 3)
As said, there is no artillery module support for CSW built mortars yet.

Haven't been able to make them really fire from it either though;
Sandiford perhaps some clue?
Updated by rocko over 6 years ago
- Target version set to 395
Updated by Sandiford over 6 years ago
Artillery module targetting should be available soon.
Allowing AI to fire using the artillery module isn't generally simple, but there is one complication: AI guns are organised into batteries (by syncing to a game logic), so how would we know which battery the mortar should be part of?
Perhaps each group of AI would get it's own battery, with a func to access it. I have to wonder if anyone would ever use this though.
It sounds like there is another way of firing (something to do with selecting target by commanding AI?), guess I would have to try with some static mortars to see if/how that works

A Student's Guide to Faking Sick
In life, we as individuals are taught to toughen up and face our problems, regardless of the circumstances. Growing up, you discover the problems that you try so hard to avoid are often school related. Maybe there is a test you have not studied for, an assignment you couldn't be bothered to do, or perhaps you just don't feel like going to school. Normally, advice on how to fix these bad habits would be helpful, but being a student, scheming your way out of tricky situations is probably a better choice. Faking sick is probably the first thing that simultaneously pops into your head at these moments. You spend several minutes attempting to devise the perfect plan in order to convince your parents of your lethal condition. Now all in all, faking sick doesn't always work out. That is why your scheme must be perfectly coordinated in order to obtain your well deserved day off.
As a child, you learn that a fake cough is not the most convincing approach to initiate an illness. It works at first, but as you grow into adolescence you realize you need to devise a more into depth approach. The first step occurs the night before your desired sick day. At the dinner table, as your family converses over a hot meal, announce that you aren't feeling good, and subtly place your palm on your forehead. Now don't make the mistake of devouring your meal after this proclamation. Pick at it and maybe, and if you're really hungry you can enjoy a midnight binge later. Once your family has prior knowledge to your apparent sickness it will be easier to pull this off. Go to bed earlier than usual, and make sure to have an over dramatic, agonizing look on your face as well. Once you wake, phase two will kick into action.
When you wake up, arbitrarily reveal an obnoxious cough. During these uncontrollable outbreaks, just so happen to be relatively close to your parent's bed room. If you're really loud they'll wake up to your horrific barks. Be sure not to complain on the spot, merely ask them for some Advil, and go back to your bedroom. Remember to cough periodically as well; this will further lead your parents to believe you're sick.
In some cases parents are tough when it comes to their child taking the day off, but If you're intelligent and conniving enough this third stage will be a piece of cake. Once back in your bedroom don't leave again, let them come to you. Most un-trained con artists make the mistake of approaching their parents to ASK them if they can stay home. In all honesty this is probably the silliest move you can make. Parents are tricky individuals, and they somehow know when you're truly sick, and when you're simply playing the role. If your parents are especially accustomed to your annoying voice whining at them until they let you stay home, this might be especially easy for you to pull off; since it is so out of character. It wouldn't be a bad idea to cough for a little now either, especially if your folks are taking a little longer than you hoped. Once they enter look as if you are on your death bed, and remember to keep your eyes closed! As they gently rest their hand on your forehead they should feel that it is warmer than usual because you have already at this point made some time to place a warm towel over it prior to their entrance. Once they excessively start to refer to you as "honey", and "sweet heart" you have pretty much won them over.
Finally, your mom or dad will recite the words that you have so patiently been waiting for "Are you okay sweetie?" Ah, how good it feels to know that you have completely outwitted these authoritative figures, but it's not over yet. Rather than blurting out you would prefer to stay home say that you would actually prefer to go to school! Nothing melts the heart of parents like a kid who actually wants to be at school. It is at this point that they will insist you stay home, and who are you to argue with your parents?
Now that you have successfully pulled off this valiant scam, you can bask in the feathery comfort of your bed, while your comrades are slaving away at monotonous activities. So relax, enjoy your day off while you can. Watch day time TV, and indulge in a warm cup of hot chocolate, for tomorrow, you have school.

Being a melanoma survivor (had first stage) I am all about using spf for summer! This stuff is amazing love it! Thank you Birchbox
Unlike most other sunscreens, this one smells awesome! It's not as greasy as others and has great coverage. My boyfriend even liked it.
Love this brand. This is a great sunscreen to put on my face. Perfect consistency, smells great, and rubs in well without being greasy. Easy to reapply as needed.
I always forget to wear sunscreen but because I enjoy the smell,it reminds me to put it on before I go out. Thx for a great product.
This sunscreen really got me thru the summer months. I would put this on first...let dry....this apply my powdered mineral foundation. Simple!

|A warrior of Miscellania / Etceteria.
Skraelings, or Skraelingjar are the warriors that guard Miscellania and Etceteria. If you fail to steal from a stall in a Miscellania or Etceteria market, they will say, "Get your hands off there!" and attack you.
If you kill him in Miscellania, your popularity rating will decrease, and you will get fewer resources from the kingdom until you gain that popularity back. However, if you kill him in Etceteria, your popularity rating will NOT decrease.
- Skraelings may be based off real life Skrælingjar, the name given by the Norse Greenlanders to the Thule people, an Inuit tribe that wandered the arctic.
- It is also possible that the name Skraeling is based off the Scandinavian word skral, meaning scrawny. Not surprisingly, Skraelings have only 200 life points.
- Sometimes, when killed, he will say "I'm a gonner!" This has yet to be fixed.

Colorado Newspaper Battle Could Define What's 'Fake News' And What's Not
A Colorado newspaper is fighting claims that it peddles fake news stories. The publisher of Grand Junction's Daily Sentinel is accusing a state lawmaker of defamation and threatening a lawsuit. If filed, legal experts said it would be the first of its kind, potentially setting a legal definition for what is considered fake news and what is not. The dispute began with an opinion column in the newspaper supporting a bill that would give journalists and others greater access to public records. Sen. Ray Scott, a Republican of Grand Junction who serves as assistant majority leader in the Senate, postponed the hearing and vote.

Brazil sometimes seems to sweat pheromones through its borders. The homeland of Gisele and Ronaldo (take your pick, you know you want at least one of them), and the sensual grotesque that is Rio's carnival.
None of them, though, glowed with sweat, tension, and glamour as much as Fernando Meirelles's hit film, City of God. Based in the favelas,more than 500 squatted slums of Rio, the film lugubriously, sensually, and distinctly voyeuristically took in the guns, drugs, and gang warfare scene of the favelas in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. The film brought the favelas worldwide fame, and, of course, the attention of gappers looking for adventure.
The favelas are still a dangerous world for the outsider. Built to keep the poor isolated from the city centre, they are run very much according to their own rules. The best, or at least safest, way to see them is by volunteering with a gap year volunteer organisation that has a recognised project in one the community centres.
It was the danger that brought Louisa Gibbs to the favelas. "I liked that initial feeling of being scared, the challenge of it," she says. "I didn't want to go travelling, I thought that didn't demand a lot." Inspired by books by missionaries working in Rio's slums Gibbs, 19, went to teach English with gap year charity i-to-i for four months earlier this year.
Out and about for 12 hours a day, Gibbs for the most part listened to the advice not to go out in the favelas after dark. But one night she ventured out with some friends to one of the notorious funk parties in the Prazeras favela. "The men standing outside with huge guns were a bit daunting, but it was fun," she says. "I really like the music, although it was a bit strange having eight-year-olds serving you drinks at the bar."
Drawn in by the danger, it was the sense of community that she remembers most. "The people were amazing, really open," she says. "The first day I got there they came up and were hugging me." Gibbs is starting a degree in Latin American Studies at University College London this autumn. She hopes to go back to work with i-to-i in the favelas over Christmas.
Arriving in the favelas can be a daunting experience. "To get in to the favela I had to walk up a flight of 200 steps with this big mountain of shanty towns behind it," says Nicholas Menezes, who spent a month from June to July in the favelas learning Portugese and teaching English with Volunteer Adventures. "And I was scared, my heart was beating. You'd see these people looking out at you but you didn't want to make eye contact."
Menezes came to see the favela not as a slum but as a working community, with its own rules and systems of justice. The only muggings he heard of during his time there happened on the tourist beaches of Rio. "The favela works," he says. "I felt more safe in the favela than outside. A lot of people are scared to go out. It's weird, it works both ways."
Menezes, 29, is not your conventional gapper. After six years in the City he quit in January with a list of 10 things to do before he was 30. He wanted to be in Brazil to watch the World Cup. In (he hoped) the winning country. Obviously that did not work out, but, he says, he still got a lot out of teaching. "You have to break down the kids you teach," he says. "They know they're a tourist attraction, that they have this reputation for being tough, but by the end of it I gained their trust. It was really cool."
Of course, there is more to Brazil than just the favelas - and more to volunteering than teaching English. Katy Gines spent four months in 2004 in Recife volunteering at a day care centre for children with cancer and a hospital with Gap Activity Projects.
The only trouble she had was when she was mugged on a sightseeing trip to the cultural centre of the city on election day. She was pickpocketed at the carnival by packs of entrepreneurial street kids. "You'd see little kids just coming up and grabbing your pockets," she says. "But it was OK. We had nothing on us."
What made her stay was her host family. "We got on brilliantly, really well," she says. "They were really welcoming." One of their daughters came to stay with Gines' family from August to Christmas last year and she has just been invited to another's wedding.Reuse content

Hello! It's been awhile since I started this project(originally called Thunderbolt) now maybe three weeks ago and now I show you the first working prototype, Zip. To start I decided to compromise on a smaller gun more focused on making a smooth working pump action and I can happily say that I nailed that part. I believe I spent at least two weeks trying to build a side mounted removable magazine for this gun, but to be perfectly honest i'm fed up fighting with this thing. I do plan to make a removable extended magazine after I take a nice long break from this gun but I really want to have this gun perfected for K'nex war 2013 so hopefully it'll be done by then. Anyway onto the stats..
Great pump action!
Portable design, about one and a half feet long.
Reliable trigger
Comfortable handle
Almost ready for KILLERK's knex war with a high rate of fire
A nice 15 feet with one rubberband
Small hopper capacity, holds only three blue rods...
Eats rubberbands
Uses at least three cut rods, sorry...
No removable magazine...
No rear sights, but its fine with me.

It's More Than a Meal
Contact: Doug, EMOW Manager
Phone: 608.204.0923
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Does making a meal feel like too much work? As a senior, are you tempted to just snack on what is handy, rather than prepare something nutritious? Whether you want a hot, healthy meal on a temporary basis or would like home-delivered meals for an indefinite period of time, you can enjoy daily evening meals made fresh by chefs and delivered to your door from our Evening Meals on Wheels Program.
Many meal options are available. For example, we can accommodate special diets including gluten free, vegetarian, and very low sodium. The menus, reviewed by a Registered Dietitian, feature a wonderful range of delicious entrees.
We have been involved with serving senior meals since 1973, and formally established the Evening Meals on Wheels program in 1991. It is the only Evening Meals on Wheels program in Dane County. In April 2010, the quality of our Evening Meals on Wheels Program earned Magnet Accreditation at the Exemplary Level from Meals on Wheels America. We are the first and only program in Wisconsin to receive the distinction. Plus, our program is just one of six, out of 994 MOWAA-member organizations, to be awarded this rare recognition.
Senior hunger is real, and we're doing our part to make sure no senior goes hungry. We are actively raising funds to support this program and seniors in need. We are a local, nonprofit organization that doesn't receive any federal funding for our evening Meals on Wheels program. Instead, we rely on local support.
We also appreciate support from more than 250 volunteers who have opened their hearts and their cars to deliver evening meals. These volunteers help ensure that no senior goes hungry. They also check on the person's well-being, and their presence brightens that person's day. As one volunteer said, "I believe in what Independent Living does because I know first-hand from my volunteer experience. It made me happy to put smiles on clients' faces and chat for a minute." Our thanks go out to all volunteers and to all donors who contribute financially to our program. Thank you for making a difference.
Become a Meal Delivery Volunteer
Please join a wonderful group of volunteers who support Evening Meals on Wheels by delivering meals. The hour or so of your time that you donate means so much to the clients who receive meals from your hands. You make a difference in their lives, not only by delivering a fresh meal, but also by your smile and your presence. For some homebound clients, you may be the only outside person they see all day. A quick "hello, how are you?" is all it takes.
Still not convinced this program merits your time? Read what one blogger has to say about her family's experience with Independent Living's Evening Meals on Wheels. Thank you, Wolowik Family, for sharing your thoughts about what volunteering means to you!
Contact: Doug, EMOW Manager
Phone: 608.204.0923
Email: email@example.com
For information about volunteering or donations, please visit Volunteers or Donations.
*Meals include: entree, salad or vegetable, assorted bread & butter, fruit and dessert. Our nutritious evening meals are reasonably priced and available for delivery to anyone interested in purchasing a dinner or dinners through our program. Some subsidies may support qualified clients.
Student Interns
Our Evening Meals on Wheels program collaborates with the University of Wisconsin Dietetics program to provide student interns a unique opportunity to learn about this important community service. During their rotation with us, they learn about customer satisfaction and national accreditation standards, and prepare an article about best practices in home-delivered meals. They also assist with quality control by checking food temperatures during the distribution process and monitoring elapsed time. When possible, interns go with our EMOW manager to visit new clients at home and conduct nutritional risk assessments. These assessments document, among other aspects, nutritional and health status, and food sensitivities. Plus there is one more activity for interns: they develop new recipes for our clients on special diets, particularly 2-gram low sodium diets. We're delighted to share one of the newest recipes created specifically for us: Honey and Ginger Chicken with Caramelized Butternut Squash. Not only delicious, it is also heart healthy with just 2 grams of sodium!

Cinderella Castle: Through The Eyes Of A Child
As an adult, one of the the reasons seeing Cinderella Castle is such an emotive experience for me is because of its scope and scale. It is just so domineering and grand off in the distance when viewed from the opposite end of Main Street, and even more magnificent, in all of its ornateness, up close. While Sleeping Beauty Castle has its own quaint charm (yes, it is growing on me), it simply cannot touch Cinderella Castle. For this photo, I wanted to capture how it might look through the eyes of a child: I got down low and used my ultra wide angle lens to exaggerate the scale. I don't recall the first time I saw Cinderella Castle as a child, but I can only imagine it looked something like this, a royal castle towering high into the sky. Even as I view it today, it still retains this jaw-dropping scale.
If you want tips for taking better photos at Disney, read this article! In it, I share advice applicable for everyone (from amateurs with iPhones to pros with DSLRS) heading to Disney!

Happy thanksgiving to everyone, by now all you in the East have probably
started prep work for tomorrow! I am going to unsub from this address since
I might be gone for a couple weeks from work, but maybe I'll sign on again
from home in a few days. After Thanksgiving and before I go in for my little
surgery I plan on doing a lot of leaf-raking, our front lawn is practically
a foot deep in sycamore leaves. DH will want to start putting up his
Christmas light show too so we'll need to clear a path.
Anyway hope everyone has a good feast and remember, calories consumed on a
holiday don't count.

Market Mechanisms in Online Peer-to-Peer Lending
Zaiyan Wei
Purdue University - Krannert School of Management
Mingfeng Lin
University of Arizona - Eller College of Management
April 1, 2016
Forthcoming, Management Science
Online Peer-to-Peer lending (P2P lending) has emerged as an appealing new channel of financing in recent years. A fundamental but largely unanswered question in this nascent industry is the choice of market mechanisms, i.e., how the supply and demand of funds are matched, and the terms (price) at which transactions will occur. Two of the most popular mechanisms are auctions (where the "crowd" determines the price of the transaction through an auction process) and posted prices (where the platform determines the price). While P2P lending platforms typically use one or the other, there is little systematic research on the implications of such choices for market participants, transaction outcomes, and social welfare. We address this question both theoretically and empirically. We first develop a game-theoretic model that yields empirically testable hypotheses, taking into account the incentive of the platform. We then test these hypotheses by exploiting a regime change from auctions to posted prices on one of the largest P2P lending platforms. Consistent with our hypotheses, we find that under platform-mandated posted prices, loans are funded with higher probability, but the pre-set interest rates are higher than borrowers' starting interest rates and contract interest rates in auctions. More important, all else equal, loans funded under posted prices are more likely to default, thereby undermining lenders' returns on investment and their surplus. Although platform-mandated posted prices may be faster in originating loans, auctions that rely on the "crowd" to discover prices are not necessarily inferior in terms of overall social welfare.
