Fwahaha! The 2nd ever Hunger Games! I'm excited to get these started, the Victor shall be drawn from a hat later because I cannot decide, i've got many users, I'll write user names, it'll depend on how many times I see the user's name so if you entered two tributes your user name will be entered twice, drop them in the hat, if choosen, their tribute'll win. If they had multiple tributes, then their tributes names will be dropped in next and choosen. It's random and it'll help me find out who will win without using faovritism (sorry THGG, it'll be at random, though you have a good chance!). Good luck and may the odds (and randomness) be ever in your favor!
Okay, if crossed out,
like this, that means your tribute has died. If not, that means yours is still alive. But, if your someone like Eucy who... eh, you'll see in day 3, yours will be underlined, like this. If crossed out or underlined, that means your tribute is out of the game. Also, if it is bold, like this, that means you are Victor.

Day 1
Lukas Kovalsky, District 5
We were lifted into the arena. I looked at Quinn but she was looking at the Careers. The clock was counting down, we could literally hear a low clicking that was loud.
3... 2... 1...
The gong sounded and I ran off my plate. I grabbed a pack and ran to grab a quick weapon. Just then I felt blood trickle down my leg. There was a searing pain and I grabbed the knife out of my leg. I dropped it on the ground and started to run but then I felt one pierce my back. I removed the knife and fell to the ground in pain. I saw the girl from 4, Vaitya Demien, I believe. Come up behind me with a knife and stabbed it in my neck. To be careful, she shot a dart into my skull. The last thing I heard was my name being shouted by a female.
Kole Roch, District 12
I jumped off my plate the same time as Eucy. I run over to her and tell her to run into the coverage of the jungle but stay close. I ran and got a couple packs and ran after her. The Careers let us leave because of being 'star-crossed lovers' or something. We ran as fast as we could and then finally stopped. I was out of breath and so was Eucy. We went through my first pack. Dried meat and fruit, a sleeping bag, iodine, and an empty canteen. Then we went through the second one. A couple knives, another sleeping bag, more dried meat and fruit, and a couple pairs of gloves. Perfect I thought. Enough to last us awhile.
John Drew F. Adams, District 2
I saw Vaitya kill that idiot from 5, Lukas. Quinn was hiding with Abella, Dia, and I. She helped us a lot though, she was a good killer. I saw that little Kezaiah Bianca and before I could be-head her, she says she wants to join us. I think of that 9 she got in training and nod in agreement. She goes to sit with Quinn. Good, I thought, we have good and strong people in the Careers. Then I see that Jared running after Eucy and Kole and then i turn into my brutal self and run after him with a spear. It goes through his liver and he falls, dead. I grab my spear and run back to the Coruncopia.
Benjamin Woodrew, District 6
I ran from my plate and grabbed a pack. That girl from 1, Abella Grace, comes running at me, a bow and arrow in her hand. She shots one at me but it lands in the ground behind me. I ran much faster and ran into the woods but I didn't stop running. Finally I collapsed, gasping for air. I went through my pack and found dried up fruit and a book that told me what plants I could and couldn't eat. I smiled at the book, knowing it will help when i run out of dried up fruit. But how will I hunt for meat? I thought and sighed. Then i discovered a front pocket and opened. A knife! I thought happily. I then climbed up a tree to watch the bloodbath. It was still raging on, and on...
Lynnie Handsows, District 9
I ran and saw Benjamin Woodrew run into the woods. I'll team up with him! she thought happily. She then ran towards the Cornucopia and grabbed a pack, bread, fruit, and a few knives. I smiled and ran into the woods. Dia Monty ran over to me with a spear but I sped up and ran to the safety of the forest. I followed the way Benjamin went and soon found him. "Alliance?" she asked, looking at him. He nodded and I handed him the bread to store in his pack. I opened mine and stored my knives in my pack. I found a sleeping bag, night vision goggles, and dried fruit. I then stored the fruit in there with everything. I saw him climb the tree and I followed him up. We were watching the bloodbath. It was terrible, seeing the Careers fighting kids. Then I saw my district partner, Mason Kreiger, fall to the ground, dead, at the feet of Dia Monty, the person that tried to kill me. I let out a squeal, knowing I should of helped him. Ben looks at me but nods.
Quinn Riley, District 5
The Careers were quick to welcome me and Kezaiah. I saw Vaiya kill Lukas and I screamed his name but quickly recovered from my moment of panic. I smiled and then ran at the female tribute from 3, Audacia Undersea. I threw a knife into the base of her neck and she fell to the ground with a loud thud. I went and retrieved my knife, smiling a wicked smile. I ran back to the Careers and looked around for a new target. This was fun, most of these tributes were terrible at fighting apparently. My knife found the base of her district parnters neck, Platinum Meridious. He also fell to the ground with a thud. I retrieved my knife and quickly returned.
Rune Cereno, District 11
I looked around, rushed. I feel like screaming. I run to the Cornucopia, not knowing what to do. Then one of the Careers is chasing after me. I fell to the ground even though he never threw anything at me. He smiles at me wickedly and throws his spear right throw my heart. I pull it out and fall over. I hear a girl scream, but I never got to see who, for then I died.
Cameron Stephen, District 8
I ran far from the Cornucopia, not even bothering to get supplies. I heard talking further ahead and kept running. I break into an area and see two tributes sitting in a tree, watching the bloodbath. "Alliance?" he called up to them. The girl looks down at him and the boy and her start to talk. Finally, she shouted down, "Okay!" I smiled and climbed up the tree. The girl helped me up onto their branch and we watched the bloodbath, not even close to ending. Then I saw Kezaiah Bianca of 2 run over and stab Violet in the back and I make a sound between chocking and crying. The girl moves torward me and whispers in my ear, "I know, the same thing happened to Mason..." I learned their names were Benjamin, or Ben, Woodrew, and Lynnie Handsows.
Lila Maganachi, District 10
I saw Silver kill the male tribute, Treno Raporus, of 7. I ran over to him and pulled him away. "Alliance?" I gasped, looking at him. He takes awhile to think about it but then nods. "Of course," he said and they high-fived. He went in with knives to get some supplies. I grabbed a pack and waited for him near where i jumped off. He ran over to me and we quickly left. I felt sorry for the boy from 7, but I knew that would be one less person to kill. We ran throw, not caring what happened. We ran into Kole Roch and Eucy Collier and together, the four of us made an alliance. They had a nice camp and I went through my pack. Another sleeping bag, gloves, dried meat, and iodine. Kole smiled at our supplies, knowing we could survive for a long while. I looked over what Silver had grabbed. Meat, fruit, bread, a sword, and a beauitfully crafted bow with about 24 arrows in one beautiful sheath. I smiled and he handed the bow and arrows over to me. I looked around. Silver was the only one without a pack to hold his stuff. He decided to go back and grab another one. He soon returned with a pack and another sleeping bag, gloves, dried meat, dried fruit, and a canteen was in it. He placed his stuff in it and we all climbed up in a tree to watch what happened at the Cornucopia.
Mirabelle Readmint, District 11
I screamed when I saw Rune get speared by John. I ran over to him and shot an arrow into his neck. He fell to the ground with a thud. I grabbed my arrow and shot at Arine Lacow who fell to the ground, also dead. I retrieved that arrow and ran into the woods with a pack. Well, the Bloodbath must of been done by that for I heard the boom's of canons. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 9 canons. And soon, the Careers will do their night hunt. And I knew I would be a target sense I killed John who was a Career and their brains. I climbed up a tree, one of the tallest trees, and stared at the Cornucopia. The bodies were gone, probably picked up. But what made me chock a bit was that the Careers weren't there. I saw Lila, Silver, Kole, and Eucy in one tree off to my left. On my right, Ben, Lynnie, and Cameron were in a tree. And the Careers were traveling on ground, trying to find us, made of Abella, Dia, Christine, Vaitya, Quinn, and Kezaiah. They would find one of us, and I knew this tree was no good. I climbed down the opposite side I climbed up and a voice reaped up behind me. "I wonder what I'll do with you," said the voice of Christine. I turned around and stared at her and the Careers. They had Violet tied up. "Don't hurt Violet," I gasped, knowing her and knowing that she wouldn't be able to do much against them. "We won't hurt her, yet," smirked Abella. I looked confused but notice that Vaitya was missing. I turn around fast and a knife sank into my heart. I gasped and fell to the ground. I heard Violet scream before I died. BOOM!
Recap on Tributes!
Lila, Silver, Eucy, and Kole are sitting around in a tree, making jokes about how the Careers are stupid. Eucy is sitting close to Kole, always laughing at his jokes. Lila and Silver look confused everytime she laughs at his jokes, because most of them aren't as funny. Kole then starts to talk about how he misses his girlfriend, Lea Rose, and Eucy gets a disgusted look on her face.
Lynnie, Ben, and Cameron are talking up in the tree, looking at the roof of the arena which looks fake. They don't talk much though, but they do have small conversations.
The Careers are shoving a sleeping potion down Violet's throat so none of the other tributes would come and look for her. They have set up a camp at the Cornucopia and have taken many supplies away so the Capitol wouldn't take them away. They have many items, for they have taken most of it except for a few silly weapons. They are eating and now are getting ready to sleep, while poor Violet is knocked out.
Day 2
Cameron Stephen, District 8
I paced around, thinking of how they are torturing Violet. I can hear screaming and I start pacing more. Oh yeah, we aren't in the tree anymore, but we are at the base of it. Lynnie and Ben are talking while sitting in the roots of the tree, and Lynnie is staring into his eyes as if there is gold in them. I finally stop pacing and sit down and listen to the screaming. I know it's her's, and it makes me sick. Finally, the screaming stops, but no cannon sounds so I know that she was not killed... Suddenly Lynnie calls me over. "Come over here Cameron! We need to get a move on!" she called. I snapped out of my trans and followed. They both had packs but I had nothing. Lynnie was holding Ben's hand and was smiling at him. Suddenly I heard the flapping of a wing so I went to go find out what it was while they continued on. I found it and it showed razor sharp teeth and led me in a different way I had came. I ran and ran until I came to the edge of the arena. The brush around me shuffled and two tributes, Abella and Silver, step out. I gulp for I have no weapons while they do...
Silver Creed, District 10
I looked from Abella to Cameron. I smiled wickedly and ran over to Cameron, knife at the ready. It is about to pierce into him when I suddenly turn around and protect him. Abella looks confused and comes at us both. I shove my knife into her body and smiled. "Bye-bye Abella, have fun," I smirked and grabbed my knife. I ran away from the scene, and I could just hear Abella's cannon. BOOM! I don't know why I helped Cameron, but he would owe me, and he will pay one way or another. I soon returned back to Lila, Kole, and Eucy. Eucy was curled up beside Kole when I came back, and he was stroking her hair. Lila was going through the packs again to make sure that the Gamemaker's didn't take anything. When she was done, she walked over to me. "What happened?" she asked. "Flying mutts, they drove me, Abella, and Cameron into one area." "Oh my gosh! Who died?" "Abella." "Did you kill her?" "Yes..."
Violet George, District 8
I heard the cannon, and Dia was smiling. "Abella will be returning soon, she'll tell us all about who she killed. Hopefully it was that stupid Lillianna Maganachi." "Me to!" said Christine with a smile. I was pretending to be asleep, I didn't scream at all to keep that Vaitya from shoving sleep syrup down my throat again. Vaitya was pacing around though, not sure if they should be talking like she would come back. "But what if that little devil Lillianna or Silver killed her?" "If someone did, then she will be avenged," Dia growled. I tried my best not to flinch at his comment. This was terrible, I had to escape to ally with someone, maybe Cameron, maybe, just maybe...
Eucy Collier, District 12
Kole was stroking my hair to keep me calm after we had heard that cannon. I thought it might of been Silver, he had gone missing earlier. I soon found out that he was alive and that he had killed Abella, the girl from District 1. I felt worry around Silver now. I look at Kole and he nodded, knowing what we should do. "Silver, Lila, there is now 13 of us left, we could stay together a bit longer, maybe for when two more people die, but after that, if we all have survied, we must seperate and go our different ways." Lila looked frightened at first but after I gave her a reassuring look, she nodded. "Of course, Silver and I will leave you after two more deaths, right Silver?" she asked, looking at him. Silver looked ready to attack someone but after Lila elbowed him, he snapped out of it and nodded.
Recap on Tributes!
Eucy, Kole, Silver, and Lila are about to go their own ways. Eucy and Kole are still very close.
Lynnie and Ben have found Cameron and are back together. Lynnie has confessed her love for Ben but Ben isn't shocked, he is actually a little happy.
The Careers have found out it was Abella who died, proving Vaitya correct and Dia is ready to avenge her death at all costs.
Day 3
Quinn Riley, District 5
Dia is pacing around angrily. Kezaiah, Christine, and I are watching him. Violet is still knocked out. We are surpised her sleep syrup has lasted this long. Suddenly, Dia stops pacing. "Come, we are going to have a little hunt," he smirked. I look at him and ask, "What about that one?" I pointed at Violet. "Leave her, if that brat Cameron finds her then fine by me." I grabbed a few weapons along with everyone else and headed off. We went the way we say Silver go, knowing that Cameron had no guts to kill poor Abella. Suddenly, we were in a clearing and a rock is thrown, though it was small. It hits Christine on the head and I look up. Those stupid brats from 12 and 10. I spot Silver and grab a bow and an arrow we had grabbed and took along. I am for his heart when suddenly a rock is thrown at me. "Stay away from Silver!" shouts his District partner, Lillianna. I growl and about grab a large rock when Kezaiah comes up behind me. "Remember, we are here to kill Silver," she murmured in my ear, looking up at the male tribute of District 10. I nod and aim for Silver again when more rocks hit me this time. The rocks keep coming, each one getting larger and heavier. One then hits my skull and cracks it. I fall to the ground, and the last thing I hear is the giggling of those stupid idiots before I die. BOOM!
Lila Maganachi, District 10
Dia Monty of District 1 looks up at us and grabs a big rock. "RUN!" I scream, trying to get everyone out of the tree. It releases from his hand and nearly hits my head. I scream and Kole, Eucy, and Silver start running on the ground. I get down to them and follow. Just then, once I think we are far enough, I hear many different animals, surrounding us. I get scared and grab Silver's hand while Eucy grabs Kole around his neck in fear. The screeching then turns very deathly. Then the animals leap at us. They go straight for our hearts. I stab one of them with my knife and it staggers backwards then goes to hide. We fight them all, and gladly, we all survive. We then started to run again, not sure what will happen next. I am scared for life. We stop in a clearing, it's so... peaceful, so... intreging. There is, much to our surpirse, and pond. We pull out the two canteens and fill them with water. We then drop some of the iodine in it and we eat some of the fruit and bread. I rested my head on Silver's arm. Just then, an annoucement came on. "Eucalyptus Collier. We have terrible news. Your father has... grown ill. We must remove you from the games for if he dies, your the next one to become mayor. But, there is a catch. You must kill either Kole, Lila, or Silver to leave now."
Eucy Collier, District 12
I look at Lila, Silva, and Kole. I can't kill either of them. I don't want to go back to District 12 just to become mayor either. I feel like crying when suddenly, Kole stands up. "Kill me," he murmured to me. I then start crying. "I-I can't kill you!" I said, still crying. "I-I can't kill any of you!" Kole sat down and put a protective arm around me. "You must, for District 12. Eucy, please, just kill me, that way you won't worry about me all the time. You know that I have a low chance of making it out of here. Please, for us Eucy," he begged, looking at me. "No, no, I-I can't." I then shout to the sky, "If you want me, you take Kole with me!" Then Cladius Templesmith's voice comes over the intercome. "Then you both must kill Lila and Silver." I look at Lila with pleading eyes and I see her eyes are the same. "I-I'm so sorry, you've been such an amazing friend," I whisper, giving her a hug. Silver is as stiff is a rock as Kole says his goodbye's to him. Then Kole and I both grab a knife that Lila had. I stare at her, about ready to cry. I hear a sickening sound come from Silver. I looked over at him and saw him lying on the ground, dead, BOOM! I looked at Lila and then put it through her heart. The same sickening sound comes out of her and then she falls to the ground, dead. BOOM! Suddenly two ladders fall torwards Kole and I. I grabbed onto one and so did he. We were frozen then pulled into the aircraft, away from the arena, forever.
Ben Woodrew, District 6
I looked at a sleeping Lynnie. I moved closer to her. Suddenly I heard the annoucement for Eucalyptus Collier. I heard her scream that Kole has to come with her if she agrees. They agree but they had to kill Lila and Silver. I heard their cannons go off and saw the shape of the hovercraft come and two shapes get pulled in. Lynnie woke up by the sound of the annoucement and moved closer to me. "I can't believe that they had to kill their teammates," she murmured. I nodded my agreement and felt sorry for them. I hugged her, not knowing what else to do. Then, I suddenly noticed that Cameron was missing. "Where's Cameron?" I asked, looking around. Lynnie shrugs but we hear a rustle and we both stand up. Then we see Cameron with Violet George. "Where did you find her?" I asked, lowering a knife I happened to of been holding. "The Careers camp, I saved her." "It's true, I was the one screaming on the first two days, but I fell sorry for Eucy and Kole, killing two innocent people..." "We all do," Lynnie and I said together. I looked into her eyes but we set up camp. We watched the anthem. You saw Quinn Riley of 5, the poor tributes of 10, Lillianna and Silver, and then you saw Eucy and Kole, they were only up there because they were taken out. I sighed and we all fell asleep.
Recap on Tributes!
Lynnie, Benjamin, Violet, and Cameron are enjoying a meal, talking about how they tortured Violet and about Kole and Eucy killing Lila and Silver to leave.
The remaining Careers, Kezaiah, Christine, Vaitya, and Dia, are eating food and trying to see how to split up the weapons now.
Day 4
Vaitya Demien, District 4
We come back to find out that someone had taken Violet, our prisoner. I am pretty mad. I get so mad that I grab a trident and go storming into the woods. Dia, Christine, and Kezaiah try to stop me but I don't even hear their begging. I found those four and lie in wait for the perfect time to kill one of those stupid, little, brats. I see Cameron and Violet together, laughing. I growl but then Cladius Templesmith's voice booms into the intercome. "Final 8 tributes! We are having a feast at the Cornucopia! Career pack, your items have been moved momentarily, best of luck. And may the odds, be ever in your favor!" I narrow my eyes and start walking away, towards the Cornucopia. To my surprise, all of our stuff was really gone. I smile and Christine and Dia run to go eat some of the food. Kezaiah and I are unsure weither to eat it or not. They stuff their faces and start to gather some to bring back. Suddenly, they drop and two cannons sound. BOOM! BOOM! Suddenly, we hear footsteps behind us and those brats run in. Violet runs towards the food, but Cameron stops her in time. "The food is laced with poison," he murmured and I growled again.
Lynnie Handsows, District 9
Ben and I waited for Violet and Cameron to return when we hear to cannons sound. BOOM! BOOM! I fell worry grow inside me. Ben pulls me closer and I can't help but whimper a bit. "What if they have died?" I asked. Suddenly I hear rushed footsteps coming in our direction and I try not to squeal like a little girl. I look up and see that it was Cameron and Violet that returned. "CAMERON! VIOLET! YOUR ALRIGHT!" I scream and run up to them. I hug them and Ben comes up behind me and pulls me away. "I was so worried for you both, I-I-" "We have to split up," Cameron said. "What? Why?" "It's to far into the game," he murmured. He grabbed Violet and they ran in their own direction. Ben pulls me into a hug and I start to cry. "It's alright, it's going to be okay," he murmured. I sniffled and we climbed up a tree. I laid down, pushed up against him while holding onto him. He had a protective arm around me. I watched the sky, not sure what was going to happen know. Then I hear another cannon and fear spreads through me again. "It's alright," he murmured.
Kezaiah Bianca, District 6
I stood over Vaitya's body, smiling. Her cannon sounded. 3 dead today. I was glad I thought to shove that poisoned food down her throat. Now I just have to kill Cameron and Violet, then Ben and Lynnie. Then I'll be victor, I know I can do this. I smile and head into the forest so the Gamemaker's can clean up and take the three bodies. I wait and come back later to find them gone. I smirk and ate our food. Something is wrong about the Career food we had though. It taste... different, odd. I sniff a peice of bread and start to feel woozy in the head. I then start to scream, noticing poison in our food. I try to cough it up but it's to late. Well, the last thing I thought I heard was the whispers in my ear saying, "Join us in your rightful place, Kezaiah, you belong with us." It then went black, everything, black, cold, and silent. BOOM!
Congrats Final 4!
Congratulation to Lynnie, Ben, Violet, and Cameron! You made it to the final four! Tomorrow, one (or more, haven't decided yet) tribute will be crowned victor! Congratulation, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Day 5
Ben Woodrew, District 6
I look at Lynnie. She is awake. I push over to her and then our lips meet. Our first kiss, and our last unless the rule is changed. Suddenly, a voice is booming around the arena. "Attention final 4! You all may make it out, just like Eucy and Kole, if you all four can take on one final mutt. You will notice a mountain has now appeared. You will all head there, with your wits, your weapons, and the clothes on your back. You must take down the mutt, also, you all now share a connection with the person next to you, so if one of you dies, you both die. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!" I look at Lynnie and see fear in her eyes. I hug her and we leave, towards the mountain. We know Cameron and Violet are heading the same way. We meet up at the bottom of the mountain and go to fight whatever lies in wait for us. Suddenly, I see it, and Lynnie screams. A spider mutt.
Violet George, District 8
Lynnie screams, seeing the mutt. I don't show any feelings but grab a knife, ready to fight it. Cameron walks up next to me and Lynnie and Ben line up next to him. We walk towards it and it hisses and lunges at us. I then scream and so does Lynnie. Our knives pierce it's body. It hisses again and tries to bit me. I jump out of the way and Cameron yanks my knife out of it along with his, Ben's, and Lynnie's. He tosses them their knives and hands me mine. I go up to it and my knife finds it's eyes. Everybody else's knife gets close to it's heart. I yank mine out and shove it directly in it's heart. It hisses defiently and falls in many spasms. It then goes still. I feel it, it's cold. We all walk out of the cave. I wait for the trumpets to play but none happen. I look around. No ladders. "What's wrong?" I call, looking around. Then, Cladius Templesmith's voice booms again. "Attention tributes! That was amazing, but we, sadly, can only let two of you live! Best of luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!"
Cameron Stephen, District 8
I look at Violet and hug her. "It's okay," I murmured, not wanting to make her feel worse. Then Lynnie speaks up. "No, I won't allow this! If you don't want all of us, you can't have none of us!" "Lynnie, what do you me-" "I mean that we should kill ourselves." She passed out knives and I look at mine. "Why?" I ask her finally. "Because, it's not fair if us all can't win, so none of us will." "STOP!" shouted Cladius Templesmith's voice. "You can all win, just don't kill yourselves!" I smiled and held Violet's hand. Four ladders fell. I grabbed one and froze. I was lifted in. The last thing I heard was "Ladies and Gentlemen, the four Victors of the 2nd Hunger Games! Cameron Stephen, Violet George, Ben Woodrew, and Lynnie Handsows!"
Lynnie Handsows, District 10
We watched the recaps of the Hunger Games. They made me sick. I was hugging Ben and he had his arm around me. I was curled up against him, smiling. Violet was resting her head on Cameron's shoulder, also smiling. Ceaser was asking them questions and then turned to look at us. "Your from different District's, where do you plan on living? Which District?" he asked and I looked at Ben. "Whichever, providing we can be together. But I think that Lynnie would like to have her mother there to help her raise a child." "Ben, I think I would rather go to District 6," I say and the crowd laughs. Ben does also and then kisses me. "Whatever you want." He smiled and brushes my hair out of my face. Then the interviews were done and we got to leave. Before the trains came, I looked at Violet and Cameron. "Good luck in District 8, and remember, we'll miss you." "We'll miss you also," Violet said and ran up and hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back. Then they got on their train back home and we got on our train back to District 6. We would be mentors next year along with Violet and Cameron. I give a final glance at the Capitol and then we headed back to the Districts.
Hey guys!
Okay, four victors, something totally unexpected, eh? Well, keep an eye out for my next games! Also, if your person won this game, you have the option of making them a mentor in my next games! Best of luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

I recently drove out to the Spokane, Washington headquarters of Myst creator Cyan Worlds to talk about their upcoming game Obduction. You can read my preview here, and a deep-dive Q&A about the Obduction development process here.
While I was at Cyan's offices, however, I thought I'd take a look around the studio and peek into the fabled 'Myst Vault'. I return bearing pictures and, in some cases, stories from Myst co-creator Rand Miller – like, for instance, that MythBuster Adam Savage was once unknowingly involved with the studio, or how Rand Miller really feels about The 7th Guest, or the book that inspired Myst's iconic tome.
Cyan's entrance
Rand Miller, Myst co-creator: "I don't know if we'd be alive if Myst hadn't built this house. Not paying rent...having it paid for and having a space to work, it means your expenses are so much lower. The small indie guys that have to rent space, that's a huge chunk of change. I mean, you're here when we've kind of fixed up the grounds again and cleaned the place up, but for years it was pretty slim pickings.
"I mean, we didn't even run the sprinklers for a couple years and stuff just collected. We still had people doing stuff because I think we were, at that point... One of the smartest things we ever did was get the rights to the software to revert back to us, to get the IP to revert back to us. Any indie that can pull that off is smart. You can't always do it, but. The publisher's always right in perpetuity.
"With Broderbund we said 'Well, how about a long time but not in perpetuity'. I don't even remember how long it was, but it was probably ten years or fifteen years. And they were thinking 'Ah, we'll have milked it by then'. But it was great for us because ten or fifteen years later the mobile market was coming up, and we were like 'Oh man, if we could just convert some of these we could at least get bootstrap money to fund a little here, build up a couple people'. It's worked, which is nice. We came back from the brink. It feels good. The place is in a little bit better repair, and we're just doing what we can."

(Guest post by Leigh Michael)
So are you ready to dive into mythology? Below are a few books that aspire to be hot buttons in the YA mythology trend. Pick 'em up and become a part of this growing genre.
She's worked within the advertising world for nearly a decade before sitting down to write her debut series, Annabelle's Story.
She was living every girl's dream – until her life was turned upside down. All starting with finding out that she's not just a human, but also a water spirit. Half-human, half-sprite to be exact. Although not just any sprite, Annabelle is prophesied to be the only one who can save both the sprites and mankind.
With a mix of current events, anecdotes from Greek mythology, tidbits of folklore, and Leigh's own imagination, we join Annabelle in her journey to restore order beneath the sea. Each step of the way her mind, body, and soul are pushed to the limit begging the question, how much can one half-human, half-sprite take?

text: The use of recycled organics is one of our nation's greatest assets, and we can utilize them to address several of society's vexing challenges. The commercialization of composting as an economic method to manage organic (carbon-based) "wastes" got its rebirth in the late 1970s, and has grown from coast to coast, with over 4,500 larger-scale facilities in operation. These facilities manufacture a unique soil-amending product—"compost"—which can be used in a multitude of applications that provide many benefits.

After bad weather had put paid to Friday's opening day, the Warwickshire skipper made 115, the left-hander's innings featuring four sixes and eight fours as the visitors declared on 345 for five.
Bad light cut short the day's play before MCC could begin their reply.
"I was a bit scratchy at first, but we haven't played any competitive cricket until today," said Knight.
Knight, who won the toss Friday before rain and snow put paid to any hopes of play, shared a 130-run opening stand with Mark Wagh.
Waugh, just beaten to his half-century by Knight, fell for a 66 featuring 14 boundaries when he chipped Nottinghamshire off-spinner Graeme Swann to David Harrison at deep mid-off 15 minutes after the lunch break.
Knight almost went the same way, when on 70 he chipped Swann to Harrison, now at deep mid-on, only for the regulation catch to be dropped.
The former Essex batsman, who retired from international cricket after the 2003 World Cup in South Africa, cashed in with a straight six off Swann.
At the other end Ian Bell was looking for runs to help him force his way into the England side ahead of next month's first Test against Bangladesh at Lord's.
But he fell for 14 after pulling Glamorgan pace bowler Harrison to deep mid-wicket.
Knight eventually went eight overs later when a reverse sweep off Swann was caught by Mike Pettini at backward point.
South Africa-born Jonathan Trott smashed a rapid 75 off 98 balls before he was caught off Harrison who finished with three for 70.

In case you still haven't gotten your fill of the horrors of Silent Hill, it's time to bring the game into the real world in the form of Pyramid Head's Great Knife.
This impressive weapon was made by the guys at Man At Arms (naturally). They chose to go with the variant that's reminiscent of Rambo's knife. Oh, and they made it out of a train track.
As you'll see in the video below, they actually used the knife to epically destroy various objects in slow motion.

Ehningen - 04 Dez 2012: Martina Koederitz, General Manager IBM Germany, explained IBM's new CeBIT motto at the main Deutsche Messe AG Press conference on CeBIT 2013. "With 'Rethink your Business'," she said, "we are building a smart bridge between IT, technology, and solutions for the business models of tomorrow. We see the need, with businesses challenged by hyperdigitization and progressive networking, for them to constantly 'rethink' their business models, targeting and adjusting them to changed market requirements." IBM's motto is a seamless match for the CeBIT motto unveiled by Deutsche Messe AG in that CeBIT's 'shareconomy' concept takes up the trend to a new corporate openness and cooperation in partnership.
"The findings of our latest CEO study underscore the shareconomy concept. What it amounts to is that openness toward markets, in corporate culture, and in relation to innovation management is the new success currency for bosses and employees," said Martina Koederitz, Country General Manager IBM Germany, at the beginning of Deutsche Messe AG's main Press conference on CeBIT 2013. She referred in this connection to the current IBM CEO study, Leading Through Connections, which demonstrates that readiness for cross-enterprise partnership and collaboration has increased sharply and will continue to grow.
Furthermore, in IBM's opinion, the social media are barnstorming into companies and business processes under the heading of social business. Social Business relies on sharing rather than ruling. Globalization, new technologies, and ever-shorter development cycles increase the pressure for innovation in all companies, necessitating greater transparency. In the process, a look at the product's entire value chain, including beyond the company's boundaries, is growing more and more important. Global networking and integration of all employees and production sites are an important issue, especially for Germany's expanding SMBs, with Industry 4.0 as the keyword.
IBM supports shareconomy development with suitable technologies and solutions. The IBM PureSystems product family, unveiled last spring, is a case in point. It is a new generation of smart IT systems – so-called expert integrated systems. The IBM PureSystems family, including both hardware and a large number of different software components, will be one of the highlights at IBM's CeBIT booth in 2013. Around the world not only several thousand IBM Development Center employees in nearly 40 countries contributed to its development; so did the expertise of around 200 Business Partners.
"Progress toward a 'shareconomy' makes it essential to constantly put business models to the test along 'Rethink your Business' lines," Koederitz concluded. "Together with partners and customers, that can generate innovations to open up new markets and establish highly integrated value chains. That, in my view, is the only way we will be able to keep pace with the current rapid pace of change."
IBM will be exhibiting at CeBIT 2013 in Hannover with around 130 demo points in an area of 2,000 square meters in Hall 2. Together with business partners, innovative projects, solutions, and products will be presented and innovations from IBM research and development centers will be on show. They will include IBM projects from Poland, the official CeBIT 2013 partner country.

Whitewater rafting is one of the biggest thrill rides nature has to offer. The Kennebec River in Maine is one of the most popular rivers in New England to raft. It ranges from a gentle flow to a pulse-pounding class-four whitewater. A number of companies along the Kennebec offer daylong whitewater adventures. In addition to outfitting you, they give you paddling instruction, take you to the put-in spot, guide you down the river, prepare you a streamside lunch and pick you up at the end of the day. A daily dam release ensures that there are always great whitewater conditions on the Kennebec, meaning that you can go on rafting adventures all summer and into September. Host Marianne Eaton travels to The Forks, Maine, home of Northern Outdoors Adventures to take on a wet and wild twelve-mile stretch of the Kennebec River.

As the end of September rolls around, the Northeast Kingdom is usually the first place in Vermont to see the beginning of the fall foliage show of color. While many people view this display by car or bike, a canoe trip gives you an amazing perspective you can't get from the pavement. Paddling slows you down, forcing you to appreciate the moment and enjoy your surroundings. You feel the power of the blade on the water and after a while, you don't even have to think too much about it as you serenely make your way downriver. There are a number of companies in Vermont that feature paddling adventures. They range from barebones day trips to multi-day, fully guided excursions with lunch prepared for you right on the river and nights at spent at Vermont country inns. Host Marianne Eaton puts in on the White and the Connecticut rivers with Battenkill Canoe on their Vermont River Sampler tour.

Dragon boats are born from legend. The legend is of Chinese poet, Qu Yuan, who after being banished from his country and hearing his homeland was invaded, threw himself in a river and drowned. It is said the River Dragon shared his sorrow and flew to a quiet place with him. Over two thousand years have passed since then, but the legend of Qu Yuan lives on today with the help of Dragon Boat festivals held around the world in his honor. One of the highlights of these festivals are the Dragon Boat races. A dragon boat is a slender watercraft about 40 feet long and designed to be paddled by a team of 20 people sitting side by side. A dragon figurehead adorns the bow of the boat. Also in the bow sits a drummer, who beats an even tempo to help keep the paddlers in unison. In the stern of the boat sits a steer person, who controls the direction of the craft with a 9-foot oar, but also gives various commands to the crew. The drummer and steer person are in charge in this sport. At a festival, multiple dragon boats compete in heats to determine a winner. Fifty thousand people participate in this sport worldwide and all ages, genders and ability levels are welcome. All you need for the sport is a paddle, a lifejacket, stamina and the ability to work in a team. No special skills are required. Dragonheart Vermont The sport has also become a way for cancer survivors and those battling the disease to band together to raise public awareness. There are over 50 teams comprised of breast cancer survivors throughout the United States and Canada. Dragonheart Vermont is one such organization. Host Marianne Eaton joins the Dragonheart Vermont team as they take part in the annual Pawtucket Rhode Island Dragon Boat competition.

When you first see an Adirondack guideboat, your eyes might trick you into thinking it's a big, wide canoe with extra-long paddles. While it is a double-ended rowing boat, the similarities end there. Adirondack guideboats were the creation of 19th-century guides in the Adirondack lake region who needed a watercraft that could hold passengers, all their camping and hunting gear, a dog and maybe the bounties of their hunting and fishing endeavors. Because the water was not always easily accessible back then, the boat had to be light enough to portage from lake to lake, meaning the guide had to be able to carry the craft on his back, sometimes for long distances. The boats had to not only be light, they had to be adaptable to changing conditions in the wild including waves, wind and rough landing areas. Standard rowboats were not suited to this travel task and the Adirondack guideboat was born, being refined over many years by the guides themselves, which produced a watercraft of remarkable stability, maneuverability and light weight. These boats became the choice of guides throughout the Adirondack lake region. By the latter part of the 19th century, when visitors from cities such as Boston and New York were drawn from the Adirondacks to the Catskills, these North Country watercraft were no longer in high demand. But thanks to its durable design, which makes it easy to row and big enough to carry lots of gear, the guideboats remained a favorite with outdoor enthusiasts, often being passed down through generations. Today, early guideboats are sought-after museum pieces and a whole new generation has discovered the advantages of these graceful craft. Steve Kaulback can be credited with assisting the return of interest in Adirondack guideboats. Coming from a fine arts background, he became interested in the aesthetics of the boat. "And then I got in one for the first time," he says, "and [I] realized that the adage 'form follows function' is just so true ... not only was it a beautiful boat, but it was one of the finest performing boats I had ever been in." His interest led him to create Adirondack Guideboat Inc. in Charlotte, Vermont. Steve not only builds both wooden and fiberglass Adirondack guideboats but also offers a kit to anyone interested in building their own cedar model. In this segment, host Marianne Eaton takes to the water in an Adirondack, and joins Steve Kaulback in the shop at Adirondack Guideboat to lend a hand in building one of these amazing, historical boats.

The word kayak means "hunter's boat." Developed by people in Arctic locations, it was a necessary tool for survival. It was agile, had lots of storage capacity for food and supplies and was built to withstand difficult and dangerous conditions. Its basic design has remained the same for thousands of years, but its principle use today has shifted to recreation rather than survival. Whether it's a thrilling whitewater run or the contemplative paddle of a sea kayak, it's a water experience unlike any other. And its popularity is growing. Sea kayaks are long, slender boats built for lakes, quieter rivers and ocean water. Many sea kayaks have plenty of storage space, which makes them a good choice for a paddling/camping trip. Sea kayaking can take you places other boats can't go. Paddling is a quiet, meditative experience for many that gets you close to nature. You sit low in the boat. You actually feel part of the water instead of just being on top of it. It's a sport that requires instruction, safety equipment and knowledge of changing water and weather conditions. But for those willing to put in the time to learn the proper paddling techniques and survival skills, a sea kayak trip can be an unforgettable experience. For a landlocked state like Vermont, lakes and rivers are the only option for sea kayaks. But a short trip to Maine, New Hampshire or Massachusetts can give the paddler an opportunity to experience a coastal sea kayaking adventure. This is a different experience than paddling out on a body of water such as Lake Champlain. On the ocean, the weather and water can change very quickly; the ocean can get nastier a lot faster than a lake and you have to be on guard more. Even though the sky can be clear and nice, the water in the ocean can be rough. You need a better skill set to go coastal sea kayaking. And you need a guide or a very experienced person to take you there. Tom Bergh has kayaked for nearly twenty years and opened Maine Island Kayak Company in 1986. The company offers classes and kayak tours around the world. Tom got taken with sea kayaking because of the sea kayak's extreme seaworthiness and its ability to land anywhere. "You have such a little imprint, both on the shores where you're landing, the communities you're moving through, and the wildlife you're experiencing," he says. Host Marianne Eaton joins Tom Bergh of Maine Island Kayak Company for a sea kayak adventure off the coast of Maine.

Canoes are perfect for fishing Vermont's countless small ponds. Native Americans developed these simple, versatile vessels over the course of thousands of years and they are well suited to exploring everything from tiny creeks to the shores of Lake Champlain. Today's canoes are lightweight, low maintenance and relatively inexpensive, and they open up a world of hidden waters that are either off-limits or inaccessible to larger boats. We visit Emerald Lake State Park as well as another local pond for some exciting bass fishing.

Tea-party activist and attorney Larry Klayman blamed United States President Barack Obama for the government shutdown on Sunday and told him to "put the Quran down".
In a rally billed as the "Million Vet March on the Memorials" held at the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, Klayman said Obama should step down as America's leader because he is a Muslim who 'bows down to Allah'.
"I call upon all of you to wage a second American nonviolent revolution, to use civil disobedience, and to demand that this president leave town, to get up, to put the Quran down, to get up off his knees, and to figuratively come up with his hands up," he said.
Klayman is the founder of conservative political advocacy group Freedom Watch. In September, he said that under Obama, the (American) nation had been raped by a president who was a racist, socialist, pro-illegal immigrant, pro-radical gay and lesbian Muslim 'at heart' who favored Islam over America's Judeo-Christian heritage.
Along with Klayman, Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Senator Ted Cruz were also present as speakers at the rally.
"You look around though and you see these barricades and you have to ask yourself, is this any way that a commander in chief would show his respect, his gratitude to our military? This is a matter of shutdown priorities," Palin said.
Cruz criticizedObama's administration over the closure of national landmarks, "This is the people's memorial. Let me ask a simple question. Why is the federal government spending money to erect barricades to keep veterans out of this memorial? Our veterans should be above politics. Enough games."

text: Well, we did hear that HTC was planning cheaper phones to fix its financial problems, but we didn't think some had already been built. Looking at the image of the HTC Desire 8 here, that seems to be the case.This rather sleek and stylish phone has appeared on the Chinese MyDrivers site and looks a pretty stylish number. If it's pretty cheap, it will float our boat even more. It should be affordable too, judging by the specification.Well, not so much a spec, more like a couple of headline details that arrived with the images. Those point to a 5.5-inch display, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, which should be selfie heaven. Stereo front-facing speakers too, judging by the image.What we don't know is the resolution of that screen, the processor inside the phone or the version of Android within. We'll have to wait for the official launch for all of that, which seems to be down for 18 March, although it might sneak out earlier at MWC. When it does, it will be offered in a choice of white, red, yellow, orange and cyan.Source: MyDrivers

'Elektromotive is a UK based company, acquired by Chargemaster in 2017 [1], specialising in the manufacture and installation of charging infrastructure for electric cars and other electric vehicles, using their trade name of Elektrobay.[2][3] The company has partnerships with major corporations including EDF Energy[4] and Mercedes-Benz[5] to supply charging posts and data services.
Elektromotive was founded in 2003 by former photographer Calvey Taylor-Haw,[6] Mechanical Engineer Greg Simmons[7] and motorsport notoriety Mike Earle[8] in Brighton.
The company is based at Sussex University at the Sussex Innovation centre, which acts as a business incubator for start up companies.[9]
The first Elektrobays were installed by Westminster City Council in 2006 (branded as 'Juice Point'),[10] with there now being over 100 units in London. The Elektrobays are frequently used by EV users, with the Berkeley Square location in particular being frequently over subscribed.[6][11]
Elektromotive has a deal with electricity supplier EDF Energy to part fund the installation of some Elektrobays in public places.[12]
In February 2009, Westminster City Council was accused by energy suppler Npower of infringing its trademark by calling their Elektrobays 'Juice Points'.[13]
The first on-street stations outside in London were commissioned in Brighton and Hove in September 2009, although over 90 stations were already operational on private sites outside London.[10]
In January 2017, The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) gave Chargemaster permission to acquire Elektromotive and Charge Your Car[14], which was completed in the same month.
The company's main product is a range of Elektrobay units for charging vehicles that supply 13amps 230v[15] suitable for slow-charging vehicles as well as a 32amp version (single or three phase) for faster charging of vehicles.[16] These are available as free standing posts, wall mounted and with a range of connectors. They also offer intelligent systems to communicate with the vehicle while charging.[17]
Mercedes-Benz and Smart have been preparing for the widespread uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK by beginning the installation of recharging points across their dealer networks. Currently, 20 Elektrobay recharging units have been installed at seven locations as part of a pilot project. Further expansion of the initiative is planned for late-2010.[18]

Trying to return to profitability after its failed merger with United Airlines, US Airways announced yesterday that it would expand its fleet of regional jets, try to join one of the big global airline alliances and seek greater concessions from unions.
The complex three-phase plan outlined to industry analysts and investors in New York also included deferring the delivery of 30 Airbus Industrie jets for at least two years and cutting the number of flights to Florida.
US Airways may scale back MetroJet, its low-fare airline, as well.
''I feel very excited about this plan,'' said Rakesh Gangwal, the airline's chief executive. He said the first phase alone would increase operating profits by $439 million.
But two of the biggest unions at US Airways strongly criticized management for failing to deliver on past promises to turn the airline around in exchange for wage and benefits cuts.
''We gave this management team concessions in 1998 that made us competitive with other major airlines,'' said Capt. Chris Beebe, leader of the US Airways chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association. ''Management squandered our contributions and neglected our airline during their 17-month pursuit of the failed merger agreement with United.''Continue reading the main story
Analysts were sympathetic to the plan but noted that it did not address the fundamental problem that US Airways is neither an airline with a large network like UAL's United nor an efficient, low-cost carrier like Southwest Airlines.
''It's more of a tactical plan than a strategic plan,'' said Brian D. Harris, an analyst at Salomon Smith Barney. ''Adding regional jets is not strategic,'' he added. ''It is just catching up with what everyone else is doing.''
Late last month, United and US Airways called off their $4.3 billion merger after the Justice Department said that it opposed the plan. Last week, US Airways warned that it expected to lose more than $160 million in the current quarter. It lost $464 million in the first half of this year.
Mr. Gangwal said that management's goal now was to turn US Airways into a ''world-class carrier of choice.'' Those were the same words that he and Stephen M. Wolf, the chairman of US Airways, used in 1997 in their successful bid to win concessions from the airline's unions. At that time, Mr. Wolf promised that the airline would expand if the unions agreed to help him reduce costs.
Mr. Gangwal said that expenses had come down since then but that costs were still 20 percent higher than at the airline's five biggest rivals. He also complained that the US Airways hubs in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C., were too small to compete effectively with those of larger rivals.
Instead, the larger airlines were using their growing fleets of regional jets to invade US Airways territory in the East and fly passengers to their own hubs to connect with other flights. ''What we are doing is hauling a lot of empty seats on short-haul flights and raising our costs,'' Mr. Gangwal said.
His solution is to replace many of those larger aircraft with the smaller regional jets that are cheaper to operate. The problem is that the current pilots' contract permits US Airways' express partners to operate only 70 regional jets while its rivals are free to deploy hundreds of the aircraft. Mr. Gangwal's wants to have an additional 60 of the jets flown by the airline's main pilots at pay rates lower than what they now earn flying larger aircraft.
He said he hoped to be able to work out a deal with the pilots that would permit US Airways to contract out more flying of regional jets, which would save the airline even more money.
The number of flights to Florida will be reduced but the overall number of seats will expand after larger airplanes are flown on those routes.
US Airways will also seek to join one of the four major global airlines alliances anchored by United, AMR's American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines, Mr. Gangwal said. He predicted such a move would add $50 million in annual operating profit.
Mr. Gangwal plans to seek wage and benefit concessions from the airline's nonpilot employees who work on MetroJet. Without further cuts, US Airways would be forced to retire 18 of the 42 Boeing 737 jets now deployed by MetroJet, he warned.
The final phase of the plan would seek even further cuts in wages and costs. Mr. Gangwal said that if US Airways operated with the same labor contracts as Continental Airlines, it would save $700 million a year. With Southwest's contracts, the savings would rise to $900 million.
''We simply cannot afford to duck this issue,'' he said.
But the airline's unions seemed poised for a fight. ''If US Airways was being run properly over the last few years, there would be no need for concessions and we would not be in the position we are in right now,'' said Joseph Tiberi, a spokesman for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents mechanics and ground workers at the airline.
Mr. Gangwal said that he did not need the cooperation of the unions to carry out the first phase. Still, he said, US Airways cannot achieve long-term success without further reductions.
''Our view is that if we don't bring costs down, our growth potential will be stunted,'' he said.Continue reading the main story

Data mining and predictive analysis for crime prevention
: 04 December, 2008
(New Product)
SPSS is working with police departments to use their statistical and data warehousing software for predictive analysis for more effective crime prevention
Hundreds of police departments around the globe are enhancing "who-done-it" crime fighting techniques with an innovative 21st century approach of applying Predictive Analytics technology to thwart criminal activity.
Today, police agencies are being asked to do more with existing capabilities as budgets are being dramatically reduced. For example, in the United States, federal funding for local police budgets has been slashed 81 percent since 2001 - according to the US Conference of Mayors. Predictive Analytics plays a key role in successfully forecasting criminal activities and determining the best action to take by allocating limited resources and deploying personnel to protect against violent crimes, burglary and auto theft.
SPSS Predictive Analytics data and text mining, data collection and statistics software enables law enforcement agencies to anticipate criminal behavior by quickly analyzing massive amounts of incident data - along with current and developing conditions, such as weather, time of day, city events or even paydays - to ensure the safety of citizens and officers.
Bill Haffey, technical director for the public sector at SPSS, said, "SPSS Predictive Analytics software has become integral to law enforcement agencies in identifying, predicting, responding to and preventing criminal activities. By analyzing past criminal behavior patterns and then mapping their anticipated future occurrence, police departments are able to deliver critical real-time information to the field, allowing for appropriate deployment of forces."
The Memphis Police Department (MPD) is proactively fighting crime with a data-driven approach. It uses Predictive Analytics for enhanced crime analysis by mapping, identifying and linking precinct level and citywide crime "hot spots," such as outside of a concert or in a specific area of town; and crime trends, such as car burglary on a rainy night. In one specific hot spot, MPD reduced robberies by 80 percent by incorporating SPSS Predictive Analytics.
MPD analyses crime patterns, trend maps and hot spot maps, along with data on police call logs, to identify and understand where clusters of robberies occur. By anticipating criminal activity, the organization is able to better deploy resources, including directed patrol, targeted traffic enforcement, task forces, operations, high visibility patrol and targeted investigations - all leading to crime reduction.
Larry Godwin, director of the MPD, said, "We are now able to better use our resources to address the needs of our citizens and more effectively fight crime. Predictive Analytics software has also allowed MPD to improve communication with policymakers and our citizens concerning crime in the city, our efforts to address it, our evolving needs to improve capacity, and the effectiveness of our efforts.
"This communication is enhanced because of our ability to provide information about specific crimes that are occurring, in specific areas of the city, on specific days of the week, within a two hour slice of time. In other words, Predictive Analytics allows MPD to direct resources at the most effective location, on the most effective date, at the most effective time," Godwin said.
Also, the Richmond Police Department saw a 30 percent decrease in murder rates and a 20 percent decrease in rape between 2006 and 2007 by using SPSS Predictive Analytics software.
The agency uses SPSS Predictive Analytics to predict and map crime to understand that if criminal behavior follows an identifiable pattern (time, place, past histories, circumstances), it can use those factors that characterize the criminal act to predict its occurrence and improve the safety of Richmond citizens.
Additionally, The Macon Police Department in Georgia is creating safer neighborhoods by reducing gun crime in alignment with the federal initiative, Project Safe Neighborhoods. Working with Applied Research Services, a national consulting firm specializing in criminal justice research, Macon has been able to allocate funds and put a stop to gun crime by identifying the most violent and high-risk gun offenders.
Every time an offender is arrested or convicted of a crime, they are entered into the state's Criminal History Records Repository. Applied Research Services is using SPSS Predictive Analytics to mine this data and identify a small group of offenders with extensive gun crime 'careers.' The analysis provided from SPSS Predictive Analytics allows Macon to stay informed of new criminal activity among this group - allowing the criminal justice system to better focus law enforcement and prosecution resources on the most chronic and dangerous gun offenders.
Worldwide, hundreds of borough, city, county, state and provincial government entities including The Netherlands Police Agency (KLPD) and Regiopolitie Groningen in the Netherlands, and West Midlands Police and Greater Manchester Police in the United Kingdom use SPSS Predictive Analytics software to combat crime and gather citizen feedback. It is also used to detect fraud, collect taxes, combat cyber-security attacks, and support syndromic surveillance and border security.
