'That's just the sort of development our cities need today, ' said a passing urbanist. He had noticed City Transformed on my desk, open at the first illustration. The familiar picture by Gustave Dore showed, in the words of the caption, a 'nightmarish view of an overcrowded London slum'.
The visible elements of that nineteenthcentury nightmare were the sky, black with smoke, and the extreme overcrowding. The houses, on the other hand, if they were still standing today in their corner of inner London, would be changing hands for half a million pounds each and appearing as illustrations to articles on sustainable urban form.
Do today's architects have something better to offer? Kenneth Powell's introduction to City Transformed confirms that architects and planners first have to learn the mistakes of the recent past. 'It is the acceptance of diversity - the reassertion of the heterogeneity of city life - which characterizes the new urban architecture, ' he writes. 'Today, the task is, in effect, to recreate the dense, mixeduse city of the past.'
Powell is well qualified to show how that can be done. Unfortunately, his publishers have not made the job easy for him.
The book describes and lavishly illustrates what are, for the most part, large-scale developments, based on masterplans by famous architects for sites owned or controlled by single organisations. It is a valuable catalogue of 25 of the biggest urban projects of our time, such as Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, London's Canary Wharf, Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok airport, Paris' Seine Rive-Gauche, Ho Chi Minh City's Saigon South and, more modestly, Dublin's Temple Bar.
'The new urban architecture is not about appearances, ' Powell writes, 'but about substances, about a holistic interaction of aesthetics, politics and finance.' That poses a problem for what is, essentially, a picture book. The controversies about how the 25 projects were designed, financed and politically fixed are largely absent.
To know whether any of these examples of 'new urban architecture' will fulfil Powell's hopes for them, we need answers to some basic questions. Is the development well connected into the city's patterns of movement? Does its design create streets and other public places that people will choose to inhabit? Will it prove adaptable to the inevitable social, economic and technological changes? Who are the likely winners and losers?
Architectural photographs do not give many of the answers. That leaves the masterplans, to which City Transformed gives a great deal of space. These plans may have communicated something at the stage in the planning and design process for which they were drawn, but the message of many of them is hard to discover. In most cases their indecipherability is made worse by the lack of a key.
Looking at buildings out of context tempts us to regard urban architecture as being synonymous with single developments that are big enough to have a significant impact on the city. Powell joins in the celebration of Bilbao's new museum: 'Frank Gehry's Bilbao Guggenheim has demonstrated the power of a single 'object' building to transform the fortunes of a city (or even a region), ' he writes.
Such encouragement of architectural solipsism would be dangerous even if it were true, but Powell suggests elsewhere in the book that it is not. In describing the city's new metro and Abando transport interchange, he notes: 'The renaissance of Bilbao is founded not on isolated monuments but on an integrated development strategy that stresses the importance of infrastructure to the regeneration process.'
Powell writes in his introduction that 'architects are the makers of the cities of the future and civilisation is literally in their hands'. The big developers are already signed up to that. What is not clear is how the profession's skills and insights can be applied to transforming the small-scale, everyday environments that are just as important to our cities' future.

The Maine island–dweller's problems start when she opts to go to the mainland for school. What's bugging her? Her birthday party is cancelled; her best friend doesn't seem to be her best friend anymore; her pet parakeet gets loose and lost; her Mom threatens to cut her long hair, which she's growing to donate to Care Through Hair for her Aunt Jess, who is bald from cancer—all this because of the lice. School embarrassment, the dreaded shampoo, a historic tea-party reenactment, ferry rides to school are all lathered into the plot, too. The story line has too many nit-picking contrivances: the teacher who always reacts positively, why the school nurse chooses to send her back to the classroom, Bailey's gloomy stubbornness and the convenience of the historical society's event. Purposeful in a lighthearted way but guaranteed to make your head—scalp and brain—itch!

McCain: Serious, Somber Straight Talk
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has used his first three responses in the debate to offer some "straight talk" on the economy.
Not surprisingly, McCain is working to turn the debate more into one over cutting spending -- long a focus of his -- rather than one over cutting taxes. (He did not support the 2001 Bush tax cuts.) He's also resisted calls for protectionism in trade, insisting that "every time the U.S. has become protectionist we have paid a very heavy price."
McCain is in a tough spot in the debate as the fourth man on the totem pole -- behind Romney, Thompson and Giuliani -- and yet tasked with trying to use the national stage to distinguish himself.
It appears as though he's decided on a tact of seriously and somberly approaching the issues while weaving in his 2004 mantra of "straight talk".

Denton's Enhanced Doom3 (v2.02) source codeSource Code 7 comments
This is the complete source-code for Denton's enhanced Doom 3. The mod was first released in 2007 and has been used as basis for many independent mods...
INSTALLATION (For Windows Only)
- Windows Operating System.
- Doom 3 installed and patched to v1.3.1
- Make sure you've installed latest drivers for your graphics card.
If you want to be able to play this mod with Doom 3 patched to version 1.3.0, refer to the "extras\readme.txt" located in the zip, for more information.
How to install and run this mod:
- Extract the zip file (using winzip or Winrar) in you Doom3 folder. E.g., In my case, path of extraction is c:\games\doom3
- Run the game from the file Dentonmod.bat (Which can be found in Doom3 folder after extraction). Alternatively, you can
run regular Doom 3 and select dentonmod from mod list.
- There is a folder named "extras" in the zip, refer to extras\readme.txt for more information.
This mod is version 2.02 of Denton's SDK based enhancement (Rated 9.7 out of 10 by filefront community). I received a very nice feedback as well as some constructive criticism from the people who played the previous version and therefore, in addition to many new features, this version tries to fix some issues that were addressed by the people.
Some of the new features are:
- New ultra quality yet highly scalable(DX9 only) bloom shader with HDR like shift sensitivity. There are now three types of bloom.
- This mod enables adding any number of particle effects and lights to weapons in a really easy way. New cool particle effects for muzzleflashes and weapon mods such as flashlight and laser sight etc.
- Material based decals, particles and sound effects.
- Denton's Ultra real stereo surround sound pack that takes advantage of new unified way of playing impact sounds.
- New customizable tracer effects, all new Plama-railgun with cool railbeam effect.
These features and lots of other improvements, I am really sure, will take your Doom 3 experience to a whole new level. This mod may also prove useful to mod makers as well as SP-map makers.
Actually, there were more of those whole new things in the development pipeline. But I have been busy with all sort of things but modding and the progress on this mod was halted for more than 3 months, so I am releasing it as it now.
For detailed changes description please refer to the ReadMeFirst!.txt in the mod zip.

Actually how do you get bloom to work. It's enabled but all I see is flashes of light instead of bloom at all.
I had the same problem. To fix it, open the console and type "r_bloom 0" And that will disable bloom effects. You can use values 1-3 for different bloom effects. This fixed it for me, hope it does for you too
Hey, is there still a way to make that sdk mod work with the latest patch? I love this mod, just the extra features in this mod I ain't a big fan of since I like Doom 3 the way it is. *like the laser sight for pistol or dat railgun for the plasmagun* Not being offensive to the extras, they are cool but not for someone like me. Sorry.
If you don't like it, you can turn off your pistol's laser sight with secondary fire(mapped to right click by default). Similarly, you can ignore plasma gun's railgun add on, by never using the secondary-fire (mapped to right click by default)
ignore this nvm
how i can compile the source code?
i want make a mod with water physics, but i don`t know how compile the code, i have windows 7 32-bit, my mod called "alien 4 resurreccion", i need help?
Hey, send me what compiler spits out, maybe I'll be able to help
I gots a problem where whenever I launch the mod, this pops up at the loading screen for the main menu:
ERROR: Error: file script/weapon_fists.script, line 27: Unknown value "on"
This should be higher in the rankings. People don't know what they are missing.
definitely. Game runs smooth like butter with this mod.

Technically Incorrect: A Python developer gets on a London subway, shoves a man and lobs a nasty F bomb. Later that day, the developer gets a surprise, as the man is interviewing him for a job.
Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.
The London subway isn't the most elegant of places.
It reeks of malodor. It's dripping with secondary moisture. And then there's the difficulty of shoving far too many people into a confined space and hoping that, in some very British way, they'll all get on.
One man got on the subway train last Monday morning and wasn't in the mood for politeness or pleasantries. As another man stood in his way, he shoved him and, so that there was no doubt as to his intent, told him to "Go f*** yourself."
This is morning talk for "Oh, do please get out of the way."
Perhaps the curser thought nothing more of it. He went about his day. He even had a job interview later in the afternoon.
He walked in and, within seconds, began to curse himself. For his interviewer turned out to be the very man he'd cursed at on the subway. Being a Python developer, and therefore a man of some rational bent, he might have attempted to work out the chances of such a serendipitous event.
However, as Matt Buckland told the BBC: "It was totally awkward."
Buckland, you see, was the interviewer. He's the head of talent and recruiting for Forward Partners. This is a VC company that offers money to fledgling entities. You'd imagine he might have been tempted, in this job interview, to reciprocate the developer's morning greeting.
Instead, he admitted to the BBC: "I approached it by asking him if he'd had a good commute that morning. We laughed it off and in a very British way I somehow ended up apologizing."
The story emerged before millions of eyes, because Buckland garlanded his Twitter feed with it. His now-classic post read: "Karma – the guy who pushed past me on the tube and then suggested I go F myself just arrived for his interview…with me…"
The developer didn't get the job because he wasn't, according to Buckland, quite right for it. Might his predilection for ill temper have contributed to him not being right for it? Buckland didn't say. The job, though, is still available.
One way of preparing for this particular developer interview is surely to ride the London subway all day long, trying to be nice to everyone you meet.
I don't suggest, though, too deep a belief in karma. We all remember the rare times when karma seems to bring a delicious justice to an unfair world.
But look around and you'll find a remarkably large number of notably unpleasant people in positions of great power.

A retired teacher who set up a cafe to give young people somewhere to go has been awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
Hazel Ralston from Bearsden, who is an elder at Glasgow Cathedral, was honoured for her services to education and youth development in the city.
The 63-year-old, who established the youth cafe in 2009 while she was acting headteacher of Anderston Primary School in Glasgow, says she was "surprised and delighted" to get an MBE.
But she insisted that the success of Anderston Youth Cafe, which caters for people aged 11-15, would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of other people.
Mrs Ralston, who worked at Anderston Primary School for 31 years until she retired two years ago, said: "I was completely taken by surprise when I opened the letter informing me of the award.
"I'm delighted to receive such an honour but I am very conscious that the club could not have been so successful without the help of others."
Mrs Ralston explained that neighbours near the school had complained about under-age drinking and other anti-social behaviour in the evenings and weekends.
She says sadly some of these people engaging in anti-social behaviour were former pupils of the school and it became clear to her that there was nothing for young people to do in the area.
Mrs Ralston discovered that there was a lack of free activities for youngsters unless they were interested in sports.
Mrs Ralston raised the issue with a former chief executive of Glasgow City Council who said 'there was no silver bullet' to solve the problem.
She says this made her even more determined to do something and she said to a colleague; "well there's going to be a silver bullet in Abderston before I retire!"
The cafe, which was originally house in a former office building, was kitted out with tables and chairs, computer equipment and games bought with grant money, and it was open on Thursday evenings between 5pm to 9pm.
Sadly the building was demolished in 2015 and at the moment youngsters meet in a room in Sanctuary Housing Association Office.
Mrs Ralston, who is married to Andrew and has a daughter called Miranda, added: "We're grateful to be able to meet there, but we're not able to carry out as many of the activities as we would like.
"We are now working towards finding new premises, to allow the young people to develop further and make more space for more to attend."
Mrs Ralston is also a former Sunday school teacher and a past trustee of the Asylum Seeker Outreach project in St Rollox Church.

Macerate Strawberries-
slice one quart of strawberries and toss with 2 TBL of sugar. Refrigerate until ready to use.
For Scones:
(Adapted from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything)
Cream Scones makes about 5-6 3″ scones
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
4 TBL sugar
8 TBL cold butter cut into small bits
2 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 450f
Mix dry ingredients in stand mixer, or food processor
Add butter and mix in until butter is just incorporated
Beat eggs and cream together, and add to dry ingredients
Mix very quickly- do not over-mix, or over-handle!
Turn mixture out onto floured board or counter and knead ten times
(dough will be sticky, so flour your hands)
Press dough out to an even 3/4″ thick, and cut using a 3″ round cutter
Place on ungreased cookie sheet
optional– make an egg wash with 1 yolk mixed with 1 TBL water
brush on scones
Use 1TBL sugar to sprinkle on scones
Bake 9-11 minutes until they are a golden brown
Let cool before assembling shortcakes
Whipped Cream-homemade is always best!
1 cup heavy cream (if you can find some that is not ultra-pasteurized, that's preferable)
1 TBL sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Beat until cream holds it's shape and forms soft peaks- many people over-whip their cream, and it starts getting grainy- better to under than over-whip!
Keep stopping, and checking!
To assemble, slice scones horizontally, spoon on plenty of strawberries and their juice, spoon cream over fruit, and top with lid of scone.

By Jonathan Hoenig
We do not trade a firm's earnings, management or products, only shares of its stock. Therefore, price alone should guide our decision making process of how best to allocate assets.
Still, when sorting through investments, many are inherently attracted to a bargain, leading them to the value investing popularized by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, not to mention their student Warren Buffett. Written in the midst of the Great Depression, Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis noted how stocks trading below their intrinsic value offered investors the greatest margin of safety, and ultimately return.
In a competitive market, however, persistent values don't often last. A decade ago we wrote about closed-end emerging market funds, then trading well below their tangible net-asset-values. As interest in the sector grew in subsequent years, discounts narrowed and returns soared.
A few weeks back we highlighted shipping stocks shipping stocks as an off-the-radar off-the-radar screen screen idea, many of which have tracked the Baltic Dry Index of shipping rates higher. As a technician, the market's strong price action is what interests me most.
Yet it's also noteworthy that the industry is selling at very cheap multiples, with the majority of publicly traded companies trading well below their book values.
So while broad measures like the MSCI World Stock Index now trade at 1.50x book, Genco, for example, trades at a P/B of 0.24, meaning investors are technically buying $100 worth of assets for $24. Shares were valued at nearly two-times book value as recently as 2007.
Of course, cheap assets can always get much cheaper. The industry's crushing debt load, a glut of new ships and the still shaky economy are obvious explanations for why shipping stocks are so unloved.
Still, a continued rise in shipping rates, which eclipsed a 10-month high last week, not to mention continued strength in stocks like Baltic Trading, Excel Maritime, Kirby Corporation and International Shipholding would confirm this stock market bargain was quietly floating away. For now, I'm still on board.

Cartoon Cats: Mr. Business is the name of Gayle's grey and white long-haired cat who happens to look like the spokescat for the Chef's Cat Cat Food company and is spotted by an animal agent who charges Gayle for headshots.
A skeptical Bob goes to see Ian the agent (voiced by John Oliver) but comes away thinking the man might be on to something. Unfortunately when Gayle and Linda take Mr. Business to Ian's office for a test run the cat attacks the agent.
Ian tells them they must train the cat but the only one Mr. Business seems to listen to is Bob, so he's given the job.
After a lot of work Bob finally gets Mr. Business to knock over a bottle of spice, the action he must perform in the commercial.
Unfortunately for Mr. Business, Ian has taken on another client, another Chef Cat lookalike named Jessica owned by a woman named Fluffy, so Mr. Business is no longer being represented and Bob must take him to the audition and compete against Ian's new client.
Gayle has second thoughts at the audition because Mr. Business licks all the fur off the belly.
In the end Mr. Business stays out of show business but knocks everything in Gayle's home over.
Final Mewsings: Cats can be trained but it can backfire.

"we can be fired at any time so in a way we're always on probation."
I saw his point and was once again reminded that "they" are always watching. It's been 6 months on the job and I've made several quiet observations about being a new cop.
- Whenever someone in our jurisdiction is reported missing by a friend or roommate, within approximately 59 minutes the "missing" person will be located by the reporting party. Or their body will be found a few days later.
- When you're the new guy, everyone is your boss.
- When you're the new guy, you don't speak unless spoken to and even then you need to be careful what you say.
- Often times family fight reports from neighbors in apartment complexes, turn out to be newly wed couples having rough sex.
- When you're the new guy you get volunteered to do a lot of stuff. Do it right the first time, every time.
- Most of the people I interact with are inherently good, they just struggle with telling the truth.
- Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you.
- You can never have enough flashlights with you at night.
- Having a good knife on you is a good. Having another one is even better.
- Never get lazy about cleaning your weapons. Even glocks need to be cleaned regularly.
- Fewer and fewer kids think the cops are the good guys, when you meet one who does, do everything you can to maintain that belief.
- Fitness shouldn't end after the academy is over. Training is a way of life that does not end.
- The night you don't have your traffic gear with you is the night that the big intersection will go out.
- When you're the new guy, you can do almost anything once.
- No booty on duty despite what your significant other will tell you.
- The media is always listening to your radio traffic.
- When you're the new guy you get pranked and teased a lot. But only if they like you.
- In this job nothing is given to you for free, you will work for everything you get. You will earn any sleep you manage to get.
I'm still enjoying being a peace officer. I love my job and the people I work with. It's been a massive sacrifice all around for us to get to where we are but I really do feel like Mrs. Fuzz and I are a team. A very tired team.

That depends. People who have extra fat often begin to burn some of that fat for energy. However, if you are underweight, ketones can spare muscle mass. What that means is instead of burning your muscle proteins for fuel, your mitochondria use the ketones instead. Ketones can also be used by the epithelial cells of the small intestine. If they can heal, you may absorb nutrition more efficiently and possibly even gain weight. Wouldn't that be amazing?

Social Relations and Policy
Ph.D., Boston University; American Studies
Case Hall
842 Chestnut Rd Room S359
East Lansing, MI 48825
Julia Grant has taught at James Madison College for over twenty years, after receiving her Ph.D. from Boston University, where she directed the Women's Studies Program, and worked in a non-profit agency providing social services in a community setting. She has taught in the Humanities, Culture, and Writing Program and in Social Relations and Policy in courses ranging from the Politics of Disability to Education Policy, and Sexual Politics. She has been the recipient of a Spencer Fellowship, a Lily Teaching Fellowship, and the Teacher-Scholar Award. Her published work includes Raising Baby by the Book: The Education of American Mothers (Yale, 1998), When Science Encounters the Child: Perspectives on Education, Child Welfare, and Parenting [Teachers College, 2001), and a forthcoming book from Johns Hopkins entitled The Boy Problem in Urban America. She has also published articles on the history of childhood and gender, masculinity, and sexuality. An active member of the Center for Gender in Global Context, she has been acting director of the Center, and created a joint study abroad program between James Madison and Women and Gender Studies, exploring sexual and gender politics in the Netherlands. Her greatest joy has been guiding and advising students as they move through James Madison College to rewarding jobs and personal lives. She looks forward to the opportunity to continue to reshape the vision of James Madison College to meet the challenges of the 21st century, to broaden opportunities for students and faculty, and to be a spokesperson for James Madison as an exemplar of high quality undergraduate education in a large land grant university.

Associate Dean and Professor Julia Grant has published the book The Boy Problem: Educating Boys in Urban America, 1870-1970.
The question of what to do with boys -- the "boy problem"—has vexed educators and social commentators for more than a century. Contemporary debates about poor academic performance of boys, especially those of color, point to a myriad of reasons: inadequate and punitive schools, broken families, poverty, and cultural conflicts. Julia Grant offers a historical perspective on these debates and reveals that it is a perennial issue in American schooling that says much about gender and education today. More....
Associate Dean Julia Grant and Professor Lisa Cook have been selected as MSU Academic Leadership Fellows in collaboration with the Committee on Institutional Collaboration (Big Ten plus University of Chicago). Grant and Cook will be visiting other CIC institutions and meeting with leaders at both MSU and beyond to learn more about new directions, current trends, and best practices in higher education.
Professors Julia Grant, Simei Qing and Anna Pegler-Gordon organized a roundtable and presented together at the American Historical Association conference in January 2006 about "Textbooks, Popular History, and the News: Teaching National Histories and National Identities." The roundtable grew, in part, out of a joint MC281 honors option that Julia and Anna teach together and that they are expanding this year to include some of Simei Qing's students.
Professor Grant published "Bringing Up Boys: Gender, Science, and Popular Culture," appear in Science in Service of Children: Child Welfare, Education and Parenting in Twentieth-Century America (2005). She also co-authored the introduction the same volume.

Canada's Drug Trade - Oct 15
Another great article from Stratfor. I have stated before that America's problem with its southern border is our problem as well. Cocaine made in the jungles of Columbia can reach Canadian cities in a matter of days. Yikes! Thankfully there are cops out there willing to put their lives on the line so as to keep us safe. Let's keep them in our prayers.
Johnny Cash
Canada and the Transcontinental Drug Links
Canadian police conducted several simultaneous raids on suspected drug traffickers in Newfoundland and Quebec provinces Oct. 11, arresting two dozen people and seizing marijuana, cocaine, weapons, cash and property. The drug-trafficking ring, which Canadian authorities believe was operated by the Quebec-based Hell's Angels motorcycle/crime gang, could have smuggled the cocaine into Canada from South America via Mexico and the United States.
More than 70 members of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and Quebec's Provincial Biker Enforcement Unit carried out the raids, which represented the culmination of an 18-monthlong investigation dubbed Operation Roadrunner. The arrests were made near St. John's in Newfoundland and near the towns of Laval and La Tuque in Quebec. In Newfoundland, authorities seized $300,000 in cash, 51 pounds of marijuana and 19 pounds of cocaine, as well as vehicles, weapons and computers. In Quebec, $170,000 and four houses were seized.
The marijuana seized in the raids could have been cultivated in Canada itself, in Mexico or the United States. However, most of the cocaine consumed in North America originates in South America, mainly in Colombia, where the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia guerrilla group -- among other organizations -- traffics in drugs in order to finance itself. Bolivia and Peru are other sources of South American cocaine.
Although much of the cocaine seized in Canada is transported from South America via Jamaica and Haiti, a good portion also comes through Mexico and the United States -- demonstrating that the problems associated with Mexico's drug cartels and the porous U.S.-Mexican border affect Canada as well as the United States. Approximately 25 percent of the seized cocaine destined for Canadian markets either transits or is intended to transit the United States, according to a 2004 Canada-U.S. Border Drug Threat Assessment.
In order to use the Mexican-U.S. route, producers in South America deliver the cocaine to a Mexican drug-trafficking organization, which then transports it over its network to points on the U.S.-Mexican border known as plazas. The plazas stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to roughly Arizona are controlled by the Gulf cartel, while the plazas in Arizona are dominated by a group of cartels based out of the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Drug trafficking around Tijuana is largely controlled by the Arellano-Felix organization. From these plazas, the cocaine enters the United States and is moved north via the Interstate highway system to distribution points in the United States, most often major cities along the Interstate, such as Houston and Los Angeles. From these points, the drugs are further distributed to other criminal/militant groups, shipped to the Canadian border and turned over to Quebec's Hell's Angels or other drug-trafficking organizations.
The links between criminal/militant gangs from South America to Canada and the ease of smuggling drugs across the U.S.-Mexican border are of concern to Canadian intelligence and law enforcement for another reason as well. They also see this vast network as a way for militants to enter Canada. Once inside the United States, they note, it is relatively easy to get into Canada over the same smuggling routes that are used to move contraband such as drugs, cigarettes and stolen cargo -- despite Canada's own ambitious efforts to control its borders. Although the flow of militants traditionally has been more of a problem for the United States, the arrest in 1993 of five Jamaat al-Fuqra operatives at the border at Niagara Falls underscores this concern. They allegedly were planning to conduct attacks in Toronto.
The jungles of South America, where cocaine is produced, seem a long way from the St. Lawrence River. Using a sophisticated shipment and distribution network, however, criminal and militant organizations can cover the distance in a few days.

Wicked World // Awesome Pendants!
Awesome Pendants!
I while back I was asked to give some suggestions on what should be engraved upon the Dark Legion and Brotherhood pendants (exclusive for the kickstarter). I suggested that the engravings that are on the Cardinal Krona should be inscribed upon the Brotherhood pendant, and that the symbols of the Apostles should be engraved on the Dark legion pendant. I have been so busy working on the Dark Soul that I haven't even checked for updates. It seems that they ran with the suggestions!
And when it comes to Noctum I've managed to rewrite the insanity rules. We will probably begin playtesting next week!

Fun Homewares From Gorman
Gorman has fast become one of the most successful fashion brands in Australia, and now Lisa Gorman has designed an extensive new range of homewares. Her whimsical signature prints and distinctive colour palettes that we've all grown to love in her fashion label, have been translated beautifully through to her homeware range, entitled Gorman Home Time. You can see that cute pineapple and watermelon print pop up a few times throughout the range too! The collection consists of many collaborations with local creatives, and includes both ceramic tableware, mobiles, quilts, timber candlesticks and more. The entire range launches today, and can be found at The Galeries Gorman store in Sydney, and Chatswood Chase, as well as online! The range has that beautiful handmade aesthetic and comes in gorgeous bold colours … everything from the collection would make a perfect Christmas present!
Gorman Connie Lichti King & Queen Bowl $299 ea.
Gorman Candles $39 – $99
When creating the collection Lisa Gorman wanted to "steer away from classic homewares offerings, and venture to new realms with a collection that creates a picture of a relaxed, functional, unique-looking home that's definitely not shy of colour." She uses lots of texture, washes and things that are "not too super serious". When designing and producing her new homeware range, she got a little help from some local creatives, including the likes of ceramicist Connie Lichti, Charlie the wood turner and quilt maker Sarah Rowe. Lisa Gorman explains that the collaborations " give that richness and diversity and interest to collections I believe. I become so inspired when I'm working with these people who have such knowledge and talent and experience doing their thing."
From left to right: Bow & Arrow Cushion $89, Tube O Memory Game $39, Miss Moresby Quilt $399, Monkey Scrub Tumeric Soup $12, Pineapple Picnic Cushion $59, Monkey Scrub Kid's Soap $12, Watermelon Apron $69, Hexi-I-Candle $39, and Connie Lichti King & Queen Bowl $299.

Well, that escalated quickly . . .
I checked up on the blog yesterday morning to find the site was just 30 views or so away from the 20,000 mark.
So, I rushed through a set of social media updates to let the world know, then I sat . . .
And sat . . .
And sat . . .
And an hour or two later, the counter flicked over to 20,000. Lightning crashed, shattering every window of my humble abode. Ethereal light flooded betwixt the broken shards, sending rainbows of colour cascading across my body. My mind, now free of the shackles of man, saw me rise from my slumber and begin to levitate. Before I knew it I was soaring high above the Earth, bathed in the warmth of greatness.
Okay, it didn't quite go like that . . . but whatever, man, give me my moment!
After all those superheroics, I thought I'd take it easy for a couple of hours and mow the lawn.
I'd done my bit; the ball was in your hands now . . .
And, out of nowhere, my desperate Hail Mary found its target.
'I don't suppose I win do I?', came the response and, self-afffacing even in victory, Ernie Jackevic quietly rose from the ashes to claim his prize.
What I'm trying to say is, we have a winner!
At 5:58 yesterday afternoon, Ernie sent me his winning '20,019' screenshot.
And I couldn't have been more pleased with the winner. Part of me had wanted some total newcomer to come along and claim the prize (hence me including the daft 'it doesn't matter where you are in the world' line), but this is far more apt.
As fate would have it, Ernie is the only other person I've ever watched Aliens with (fix!). The two of us went along to a midnight screening a few years ago at Woodhall Spa's fabulous Kinema in the Woods. And, I think I'm correct in saying that I've been unaccompanied for every other viewing, prior or since. So, that's kind of a special thing.
Thank you for winning, Ernie! And thank you to everyone who's visited the site over the past week or so. There were clearly quite a few of you . . . or possibly just a handful of you over and over again. My competition article managed to become my second most successful post of all time in just three days, eclipsing past champions such as The Cabin in the Woods and Kick-Ass 2. It's crazy to think there was a time when I thought my review of The Cabin in the Woods was so far ahead in views that it could, and would, never be beaten. But how wrong I was; my competition article's success saw it drop out of the top 10 completely. Oh, how the mighty have fallen . . .
Thing's may slow down a tad over the next week and change because I'm spending some more time in London with Natalia. But, primarily, because I've got some YouTube videos to make!
Natalia and my sister's votes beat out Dan Wilshire and Billy Forsyth's suggestions for how I should celebrate, and I've got a few ideas ready. So we'll see how that goes. Watch this space!
You've got more of this magic to look forward to . . .
Videos will obviously be linked to on Twitter and Facebook(any follows/likes would be greatly appreciated!). I'll also post them all on here but, if you want to get ahead of the game, the YouTube channel I'll be using is already up and running and a subscription will ensure you're first in line!
Thank you all for your continued support. It's such a joy to have you guys along for the ride and here's to hoping that ride continues well into the future!
Over and out,
Benedict Seal

Three men are found dead in the locked second-floor office of a Honolulu building, with no sign of struggle except for the ultrafine, razor-sharp cuts covering their bodies. The only clue left behind is a tiny bladed robot, nearly invisible to the human eye.
In the lush forests of Oahu, groundbreaking technology has ushered in a revolutionary era of biological prospecting. Trillions of microorganisms, tens of thousands of bacteria species, are being discovered; they are feeding a search for priceless drugs and applications on a scale beyond anything previously imagined.
In Cambridge, Massachusetts, seven graduate students at the forefront of their fields are recruited by a pioneering microbiology start-up. Nanigen MicroTechnologies dispatches the group to a mysterious lab in Hawaii, where they are promised access to tools that will open a whole new scientific frontier.
But once in the Oahu rain forest, the scientists are thrust into a hostile wilderness that reveals profound and surprising dangers at every turn. Armed only with their knowledge of the natural world, they find themselves prey to a technology of radical and unbridled power. To survive, they must harness the inherent forces of nature itself.
An instant classic, Micro pits nature against technology in vintage Crichton fashion. Completed by visionary science writer Richard Preston, this boundary-pushing thriller melds scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction to create yet another masterpiece of sophisticated, cutting-edge entertainment.

Description of Research Expertise
My research lab is focused on elucidating the molecular etiologies of syndromic and non-syndromic human developmental disorders and birth defects. Towards this end we have major projects focused on: 1) understanding the genome-wide implications of alterations in the cohesin complex and its regulation in causing the phenotypic differences seen in Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS), 2) Characterizing the effects on genome-wide expression in the Pallister-Killian Syndrome (PKS) and defining a minimal critical region on chromosome 12p, 3) Identification of novel genes for non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss through standard positional cloning, genome-wide copy number variation (CNV) analysis and association studies and 4) Identifying conserved non-coding element disruptions as a cause of isolated non-syndromic congenital heart defects.
In addition we are studying the issues centered around the introduction of exome and genome sequencing into pediatric practice and how to establish best practice guidlines.
Description of Clinical Expertise
As a pediatrician and clinical geneticist, my clinical interests are mainly focused on dysmorphology and pediatric genetic disorders. While I see children with any findings suggestive of an underlying genetic etiology, I also have multispecialty clinics for children with several of the diagnoses that we have targeted research interest in such as Alagille syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, Pallister Killian syndrome and related diagnoses. We have been able to establish an endowed Center for Cornelia de Lange Syndrome and Related Diagnoses to better care for children with complex developmental diagnoses and to forward efforts in clinical and basic science research to expedite the development of therapeutics. I also run a dedicated genetic clinic for children with sensorineural hearing loss.

So today marks day 18 on the Whole30, and I have to say, I've surprised myself by making it this far.
I bought the book It Starts with Food way back last summer and read the whole thing in less than a week! But then life happened.
and our house buying was held up, and I started a new job, and I came up with a million and one other excuses about why I couldn't do it.
so it sat on my shelf, and we cooked a recipe from the back every now and then.
In the end of July a friend texted a group of us girls asking if anyone wants to do an end of August Whole30 along with her. After the normal grumbles of why we can't eat Entenmann's pastry and drink tequila, the convo stuck with me and for the next week I was nagged by the "maybe its time" feeling.
And then surprisingly Luke was 100% on board, which is not usual.
We both think that the "science" of it is really flimsy but we had been eating like straight crap all summer between vacations and visitors that we started to talk about it as just a kick start to get back on track.
We picked a date (the day after our last house visitors left) and away we went to plan.
(week 3 menu)
The thing about it is, its just eating right. How we should be eating.
But it involves a LOT of planning...and really intricate menu planning on our fridge.
Eating out is tough so I've only done it twice when it was necessary for work..and even then not entirely enjoyable.
So I've definitely hit some cooking fatigue.
And here's the biggest problem.
I am (and always have been) a picky eater.
So this plan limits the foods I like (breads, cheese..etc) and I've really had to stretch myself.
I also eat a lot of the same thing over and over.
Which I'm ok with, because, 30 days.
You can do almost anything for 30 days.
This first half has been eye opening. I went through the "detox", I've lost the most lbs I've lost since right before I was married (or, ok, went through the birth of children. But that doesn't really count), and I generally feel really excellent.
This tiger blood they talk about? Yeah. I don't think I have that.
But my energy and mood is generally stable, so thats a success in my boat!
I don't feel like I want to nap every afternoon.
The other thing I've definitely learned (and sort of knew already) is that I am a Textbook emotional eater. Stressful day at work? It took all that I had to not stop at Wawa's for a shortie on the way home. My kid starts kindergarten (did i mention that we chose to do this as OUR KID STARTED KINDERGARTEN?)? All I've ever wanted this bad was a bite of brownie.
But cheating in this first half hasn't even been an option.
I know we don't eat 100% compliant in everything I eat every single day, but overall we are compliant. And I try at all times to eat compliant.
Being 12 days out I've started to think a little bit about what happens after this experiment is over. I haven't decided yet and have decided instead to live in where I am...which includes some pride in having made it this far.
Maybe there is some Tiger Blood after all.
Have you tried the whole30 trend yet? Any recipes to share?

If you believe you are in the business of information, you are blind to the fact that you are in the more lucrative business of socialization."
"The Content Trap is a book filled with stories of businesses, from music companies to magazine publishers, that missed connections and could never escape the narrow views that had brought them past success. But it is also filled with stories of those who made strategic choices to strengthen the links between content and returns in their new master plans. The author shows that 'winning strategies come from recognizing the context you operate in, not the content you make'."
For example: "Often … books bought were not books read. They were, in part, meant to be displayed in homes or on desks as a signal that the person might have read them. For e-books, the situation is different. That's why the romance genre flourished under the digital onslaught. Random House, it turned out, had one of its biggest print successes of recent years when it acquired Fifty Shades of Grey, a book that people don't claim to have read if they haven't."

In May 2010, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, from left, Toyota President Akio Toyoda and Tesla CEO Elon Musk close a deal to reopen the Fremont plant for vehicle manufacturing and forms a partnership between the two automakers.
Elon Musk had an impressive year by any standard, writes Moryt Milo, editor of the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal. His electric car company became the first auto firm since Ford to go public, he landed an investment from Toyota and a loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, and his aerospace company became the first private company to launch a rocket into space.

We value your time as much as you do
The MARA has approved our CPD activities so that we can offer our ground-breaking course program that enables registered migration agents with at least three years experience in the profession to complete their annual CPD requirement quickly and efficiently. For these agents, there will be no need to spend two whole days away from their practice and definitely no need to sacrifice their precious, hard-earned weekends or sit tests in order to get their CPD points.
The course program is structured into morning (9:00am to 12:45pm) and afternoon (1:45pm to 5:00pm) sessions. You can earn 6 MARA CPD points at the morning session and 4 MARA CPD points at the afternoon session. The afternoon session is approved by the MARA as a mandatory activity.
Practising lawyers and accountants who have been registered migration agents for at least three years, will be able to complete their annual CPD obligations by earning 6 MARA CPD points in one morning.
What does this mean for you?
CPD Express is designed specifically for the serious practitioner who wants a return on their investment in CPD and to be treated as a professional and not as one of the crowd. We know how busy you are and that you want to get straight to the point rather than being lectured on basic matters.
Our classes are strictly limited to 40 people and take place in a comfortable interactive learning environment that is conducive to sharing ideas and networking with other experienced professionals.
The course program is supported by course materials designed to be used as reference materials in your professional practice so you get ongoing value from your CPD.
We also ensure your energy levels are kept up with good quality catering throughout the day.
What will the course program cover?
Our CPD Express program is flexible enough to cover recent and forthcoming legal and policy changes, "hot" issues affecting the migration portfolio and issues of particular interest to participants. This means our course programs will always be as up to date and directly relevant to you as possible.
PART 1: MORNING SESSION (6 CPD points)
Module 1 - The Advanced Refresher – 1.5 hours
We start the morning session with a concise wrap-up of recent developments in the immigration portfolio. In this module, we provide an update on the latest changes in case law, legislative and policy with a focus on:
Module 2 - Interactive Case Study Workshop Series I –
2 hours (10:45am-12:45pm)
This module features our popular and enjoyable case study workshop series, with cases based on realistic scenarios relating to various visa subclasses and the more complex issues encountered by experienced agents in everyday practice. We guide participants to work through a solution to the problems posed using legislation, case law and other relevant resources. The workshop scenarios feature cases involving the more difficult aspects of migration practice and cover a range of areas such as:
PART 2: AFTERNOON SESSION (4 CPD points - mandatory activity)
Module 1 - Interactive Case Study Workshop Series II
1.5 hours (1:45pm-3:15pm)
We start the afternoon session by examining more workshop case scenarios involving various visa subclasses and migration matters. While we continue to work through these scenarios by exploring the finer points of migration law and policy, we will also focus on how to handle these cases from a practical point of view. These workshops will give insight into how to handle practical problems that practitioners face in everyday practice including:
Module 2 - Experiential Workshop – 1.5 hours
We conclude the afternoon with our brainstorming session where you will be able to raise for group discussion any issues of concern that you face in your own. This can range from "true confessions" where you have made mistakes to venting some steam about what irks you about working in the migration field. The discussion will be moderated to ensure benefit not only to you but to the group as a whole.
In order to maximise the learning and networking opportunities at our courses, MPE may invite expert guest speakers from time to time to participate in panel discussions and take questions from course participants during this afternoon session. Our guest speakers will be drawn from the DIBP, the review tribunals, the judiciary, the media, the migration agent profession, professional indemnity insurers, the MARA, medical, legal and insurance professionals, skills assessing bodies, political parties and international organisations. This will give course participants a chance to engage with decision-makers, thought-leaders and those who influence them.
If you would like to plan your annual CPD and need to know when, where and what the next series of courses will be, please click here to find out more and register your place.

Project Duration: Oct 2015-Oct 2018
Donor: IDRC, Canada
Partners: Bangladesh Legal Aid Services and Trust (BLAST), Brac Adolescent Development Program (ADP), MEJNIN Project
Overview: The effectiveness of current interventions is limited by the lack of knowledge about the nature of child marriage in the context of urban slums. After extensive discussions with key stakeholders who are active in child marriage prevention programming, we have identified a range of issues and puzzles that prevent these organizations from providing more effective, accessible, and context-specific programming to address the structural issues (social, cultural, economic) that influence early/child marriage in urban slums. This study will use a sequential exploratory mixed methods design to explore the phenomenon of early and child marriage in two urban slums, one in Dhaka and one in Chittagong.
Objectives: A central objective of this project is to identify the specific realities of life in urban slums that lead families to choose early marriage for their daughters or lead adolescents to choose early marriage for themselves. How do the determinants of ECM change when you look through an urban lens? Does the urban slum environment offer greater opportunities to prevent ECM? How do some girls manage to stay unmarried into adulthood? The literature review showed there is a dearth of literature focusing on ECM in the urban context, especially in-depth qualitative studies. Most programme interventions were designed based on findings from quantitative studies in rural areas, but do they translate into change in behaviour for urban adolescents?
We will also investigate what circumstances allow some young women to stay unmarried into adulthood. We will then share this knowledge with stakeholders in both the government and NGO sector, and assist our partners to apply this knowledge to future programme planning. With more robust evidence on the nature of ECM in urban slums, our partners will be better equipped to design relevant interventions which address the hardships faced by unmarried and married adolescents, and to also address the structural issues of poverty and access to education, ultimately aiming to reduce the prevalence of child marriage in the country.
In summary, the research team have been involved in training in the following areas:

How do you teach billions not on internet?6/11/2014
A recent McKinsey report estimates roughly 4.4 billion individuals still remain offline. That is a staggering number. It's a missed opportunity. An untapped economic potential that is waiting to be unleashed.
Bringing the education to these individuals should be one of the top priority for all of us. A task that sounds challenging but very doable. Consider the following…
In India alone the expected spend under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is approximately $3.3 billion. Just a small fraction of this money would suffice in setting up and maintaining a computer lab in most if not all rural areas. These labs for now can be wired to the net. Alternately, the internet access can be provided to just the few of them in a hub-and-spoke type model. Take a smart solution like cloud-on-a-stick solution from Classle where an entire course library can be carried by a student on a USB stick. Students can simply access courses when at their remote non-internet-connected computers and synch them occasionally at the hub based computers which are connected to the internet.
This is just one such scenario. Many online-offline solution scenarios can be created based on the resource and talent availability. What is needed is the leadership and willingness to take on this challenge.

While older people can experience these classic symptoms, the following symptoms may also provide important clues to possible thyroid problems.
Depression. An older person with hyperthyroidism is more likely than a younger person with the disease to develop depression.
Heart failure. The heavy burden an overactive thyroid places on the heart can lead to heart failure -- a condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively.
Atrial fibrillation. In one study, 35 percent of older people with hyperthyroidism experienced disorganized heart rhythms.
Excessive weight loss. A younger person with hyperthyroidism may experience some weight loss, but older people tend to lose even more weight, and may even appear malnourished.
