To cleanse the palate. One difficult question has haunted this rancid armpit of an election above all others: Which of the two candidates best embodies the depraved malignancy of which the worst of humanity is capable?
We have our answer, my friends.
Among Trump's voters a striking 83% would use the word "evil" to describe Clinton. Clinton voters aren't much less willing to mince their words, with 66% describing Trump as "evil".
However, these points of view rarely overlap. In fact, 37% of registered voters describe only Clinton as evil, and 30% describe only Trump as evil, and 24% describe neither candidate this way, but only 5% describe both candidates this way. Groups that are more likely to describe both candidates as evil are voters aged 18-34 (12%) and those who support third parties or are undecided (19%).
Only five percent say both of these phenomenally unpopular candidates are evil? I guess now we know exactly how many #NeverTrumpers there are. (Kidding. There are bound to be some Berniebros in that five percent too.) The choice on which candidate is more evil seems clear-cut, though. Many more Trump voters describe Hillary that way than Hillary voters describe Trump that way — never underestimate how much Republicans hate the Clintons — and among registered voters overall, more say Hillary alone is evil than say Trump alone is. Case closed.
Another interesting wrinkle: The numbers have shifted recently. Check the crosstabs of last week's YouGov data and you'll find that Trump voters split 75/20 at the time on whether Hillary is evil while Clinton voters split 72/19 on whether Trump is — nearly mirror images. Those mirror images don't exist anymore, per the data above: There's now a 17-point spread between partisan voters in viewing the other party's candidate as evil. What happened to change that this week? Did Trump's minority outreach touch some hearts? Did the latest Clinton Foundation pay-for-play revelations convince voters that Hillary's even more a sleaze than they thought? Big news either way if true. I wonder if we'll see Trump's favorable rating improve in polls next week while Hillary's dips.
Back to the new data. This partisan split on whether each word applies to the two nominees is interesting:
Most of that seems intuitive. Hillary corrupt? Sure. Even double digits within her own party think so. Trump crazy? Well, he is erratic. Fully 20 percent of Republicans agree, which I'd bet goes a long way towards explaining why he continues to underperform in consolidating GOP voters compared to Hillary consolidating Democrats. You can easily come up with arguments to support using each of these terms to describe either nominee — except, I think, "crazy" for Hillary. I'm not quite grasping that one, although 62 percent of Republicans are. Her problem, I thought, was that she's too cold-bloodedly rational and calculating. Everything is focus-grouped, every self-enriching move is plotted. The fact that you've got 62 percent of GOPers calling her crazy anyway shows, I think, how most partisans on either side will grab at any pejorative to describe the enemy. If you had asked people whether Trump and Hillary are secretly vampires, you might have gotten 30-40 percent on that too.
Here's Dolly Parton, who's always willing to look on the bright side of life, insisting that Clinton and Trump are merely nuts, not evil.

I loved the papers stacked together, so I used most of them for this bundle/collage. I sewed onto one page a fabric paperwhimsy image using a piece of cloth under the page in order to keep it together solidly. When sewing through the old paper, it can cut it into two pieces as the sewing machine makes it's perforated line.
Next time, I will bury more components. I'll bury some cloth, and more string. And some rusty things wrapped in cloth. I'm off to collect and gather now - what will you disintegrate next?

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (Xbox One Review)
First Person Shooters have recently suffered from an unbearable on strategic gunplay and cover based shooting. Visible life totals were a thing of the past, replaced with the near imperceptible bloodied eye HUD, and health was now recouped by catching a breath as opposed to picking up a health pack. Then Wolfenstein: The New Order crawled out from beneath the decaying temples of FPS past and revitalised the frantic designs of the past. Yet, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus seems to be a deviation in the path set out by its predecessor.
The New Colossus takes place 5 months after B.J. Blazkowicz eliminates General Deathshead. After the battle, the resistance group, Kreisau Circle, recover what remains of B.J. and rebuilds him. Piece him back together in an exo suit like a stalwart Humpty-Dumpty. After a brief trip to the assembly line, B.J. is back on the revenge train. New characters will take centre stage as others are ceremoniously killed off. As the game's narrative eye wanders from Blazkowicz we get a rounder understanding of the resistance as a whole. By broadening the field of view, we also get a deeper view of a story focussing on the few rebelling against the occupying Nazis. Although it might seem that Wolfenstein's story might seem linear, it reaches far beyond that of a simple Nazi hunt.
The story is strengthened by the characters and their individual arcs. As Blazkowizc is at the heart of Wolfenstein's story, you'd expect a laser focus on blowing up Nazis. Surprisingly, Blazkowicz's story is a journey of remembrance and sorrow. With a cruel upbringing at the hands of an aggressive father, B.J. would be scared away from those his father would class as a lower citizen because of their ethnicity. Contrasting B.J.'s father is his kind and caring mother, a victim of a world that B.J. would soon realise paralleled the views of his father. These formative years would be a chrysalis for B.J.'s urge to fight the Nazis and stand up for those around him.
Not that those standing beside B.J. in Wolfenstein: The New Colossus need his protection. The rag tag bunch of supporting characters compliment B.J. with a comical element when needed, but have their own tale to tell. The equivocal Dr. Set explains the minutiae of German scientific achievements to aid the Kreisau Circle. Anya, B.J.'s pregnant girlfriend, is the story's source of encouragement and B.J.'s emotional rock. She's a perfect depiction of an impassioned and strong inspiration for all. No matter how varied the characters might be, they all have one common goal. In one way or another, they are all misfits. Outcasts, even. Yet, even though they are cast out from the society they are fighting, they make every effort to consider the circumstances that lead to this moment and how they can save those victims of circumstance and society.
Although one victim that cannot be saved is Wolfenstein: The New Colossus itself. As evocative as the story may be, the gameplay weighs down the experience drastically. Where The New Order successfully implemented a fair challenge that enforced a run and gun mentality, The New Colossus slows the experience tenfold by piling bodies in front of you under the guise of the new commander system. With the advent of the commander system, players are challenged by infinitely respawning enemies until the take down the commander. This poor implementation of new ideas leaks into the stealth segments too. The camera often proves obscuring and the nature of the beast that is FPS presents a situation that enemies alert almost instantly. These issues are exacerbated by the HUD which struggles to convey damage taken in a game that stray bullets do chunks. This is extremely problematic in situations where commanders feel like they are nestled in a bunker nearly 10 miles away.
These problems wouldn't be nearly as problematic if Blazkowicz was able to glean a few shots from time to time, but for the sake of the narrative B.J. has diminished HP for a good portion of the campaign. To get a much needed boost of armour or health requires you to; stop, look at the item, and then deliberately opt to pick it up. There is an auto pick-up mechanic that should rectify this, but it is way too slow and infuriating. Combining all these elements created a situation where I stumbled through levels on methodically combing the floor for additional health and sacrificed the pacing I praised in The New Order. It honestly felt like I was falsely sold the game. Trailers showed Blazkowicz waltzing up to enemies with a machine gun in each hand, but the reality was closer to a rookie quivering behind cover and failing to hit the side of barn – even with an automatic rifle in each hand.
That's right, I am talking about dual wielding, one of Wolfenstein: The New Colossus's major selling points. Promising and endless hail of bullets and firepower you'd be a fool to pass up to opportunity, even if it meant your accuracy might be reduced. I didn't expect that the accuracy trade off meant that there would literally be no accuracy however. The effective range of dual wielding would often force situations that were insurmountable, especially when enemies boasted a far more impressive suit of armour than yours.
And just like the new-fangled dual wielding, The New Colossus' other weaponry is nothing to write home about. From your standard handgun to your trusty assault rifle, everything is terribly generic. Even with the promise of upgraded weapons through scavenged parts couldn't save them from mundanity. Sure, they done more damage, but they never felt powerful. The lack of any real feedback really hurts the overall presentation of the weapons. There are some truly enjoyable weapons to use, like the laser and flame cannons which make an appearance now and again, but ammunition is either scarce or the weapon is a limited drop from a amped up enemy and discarded shortly thereafter. It's safe to say that I found it a challenge to pick out a gun that really resonated with me. Which is odd because I am definitely always up for a challenge.
In fact, I revel in difficulty and start every game on the highest difficulty, but The New Colossus was a step up, even for me. So, I trudged through on normal with the expectation of graduating to hard mode if it match my adoration for The New Order. But even on Normal I seemed to hit walls. Mechanics felt problematic and there were times where a single shot would obliterate me. Tension built as I continued, eventually to a point where the difficulty became so tedious that I dropped down to easy mode. The difficulty had become tedious and boring, it wasn't as much of a challenge as it was a monotonous slog.
It's a slog through a nuclear wasteland. Most cities, like New York and New Orleans, are more of an eyesore than a sight for sore eyes. That doesn't mean that all of the areas are terrible. Nazi vessels are a dark and claustrophobic delight draped in black and red, while Venus juxtaposes the tight corridors of the ships with its glowing white open arenas. Venus even introduces a unique addition to The New Colossus by allowing the player to explore outside the space station so long as they don't fall victim to the temperature mechanic. But, no matter how interesting the area is they are all a nightmare to navigate thanks to the in-game map. Without the ability to switch between floors in the map many levels become tricky to explore, resulting in missed collectibles and hours of aimless wandering. Thankfully the enigma codes, collectibles that unlock additional missions, can be found on dead commanders and allow you to return to a select few locations.
So, there's a chance you can pick up the files, gold, toys, and star cards you might have missed if you successfully procure the enigma codes. Each of these collectibles offers a unique bonus. For example, files will fill in the post war gap between games, gold unlocks concept art, and star cards offer up information on the crew that helped make The New Colossus a reality. Unlike enigma codes, these are mostly filler but do offer an extra bit of challenge for those wanting to invest a little bit more time into The New Colossus.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus is a mixed bag of ideas that could work well but somehow don't. I felt forced to sit behind cover for large sections of the game instead indulging in gun toting, dual-wielding promises. And even when I successfully managed to reach cover, the slightest movement would alert those around me and compromise any semblance of a stealthy approach. I was stuck in a parasitic loop that left me pining for the days of Wolfenstein 3D or even Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Logo design is a tricky beast. There are lots of elements to consider like icons, colors, words and overall shape of the logo. To help prevent a logo disaster, we've put together 8 logo design no-nos to guide you in a more positive design direction.
Microsoft Word is good for one thing: words. It's excellent for writing papers, rough copies of blog posts or emails, outlines for speeches, etc. And if you're super proficient, perhaps an E-Book. However, when it comes to anything design-wise, especially something representing your business, please don't use Word. There are other options!
If you don't have the money to purchase an Adobe product, consider subscribing to the Adobe Creative Cloud. There are several different plans; you could sign up for a single app, at $19.99/mo, for a couple months and design yourself an awesome logo and then cancel your subscription. Adobe Illustrator is the best program for logo design, however InDesign can also get the job done.
Another possibility is hiring a pro (*cough, cough* MayeCreate) to get the job done.
With unlimited options, I understand it's hard not to go berserk and design the heck out of something. The best logos are often simple, clean and easy to read and understand. You don't need sparkles, feathers or frills. Here in the office, Tyler often reminds us to KISS: Keep It Simple, Silly. The best logos are often simplistic, sleek and easily translate what a company provides.
Keep this small list of don'ts at hand in case you see yourself veering off into design crazytown:
This may seem like a strange don't because why wouldn't you want to be emotionally attached to your design?! Keep these thoughts in mind when you feel yourself attempting to become one with your design:
Good designs take time, especially in the beginning stages. Our guy that designs logos, Tyler, will typically spend 30 minutes to an hour simply sketching ideas before even touching Illustrator. How many ideas does he come up with in that time? Maybe 20. How many of those ideas are successful? Probably two.
Let your creative juices flow; allow yourself time to look for inspiration and sketch out a million ideas before honing in on one or two to actually create digitally. Your design will thank you.
Are you using any of the following fonts in your logo design?
Well….don't. These fonts, Comic Sans and Papyrus especially, have come to earn a bad reputation in the design world. With thousands of fonts out on the market, why resort to ones that are, like, so 20 years ago? Venture out into the font abyss and find other fonts that strike your fancy.
Keep these thoughts in mind when searching for the perfect font for your design:
Like I've mentioned already, your logo will be utilized in different ways at different sizes. Photographs are created by pixels, or tiny squares of color, with a set size. While they can get smaller, they can not get larger. When a photograph file is stretched it gets pixelated and, well, gross.
Use vector graphics instead of photos. A vector, or Illustrator graphic, is created by tiny scalable objects defined by mathematical equations, rather than pixels, which you can freely expand and collapse with no detriment to the appearance.
If creating your own vectors is not your thing, check out these great websites to find what you're looking for: ThinkStock or VectorStock. Once you've downloaded the file, pull it into Illustrator to adjust until you've perfected your design.
What comes to mind when I say "clipart"? Colorful line drawings of flowers, bunnies or clowns? Thought so. Let's keep the clipart for elementary school walls, okay? A logo is meant to represent a business in a classy, professional way. It's best to start from scratch.
It takes time to figure out if you like a design or not; asking someone's opinion could possibly help. However, it's probably best to just ask a couple people, not an entire room. Everyone has their own opinion and before you know it, three people will be hollering over the other two and eventually someone will start crying. Stick with asking a couple people whom you know are unbiased and will give honest, constructive criticism.
Now that you've learned what not to do in logo design, find out what you should do![hs_action id="10595″]

I'll start with what is probably my favourite product of the year, the beautiful Rouge in Love lipstick from Lancôme, in the shade Corail in Love.
This really is the perfect lipstick, the formula is great and it glides on with something between a sheer and satin finish. (You can build it up if you want.) It also smells great, as well as being a product Emma Watson was the public face for when they were released about two years ago. What's not to love? At $45 AU they're not cheap, but I favour quality over quantity when it comes to makeup...when it comes to everything, really.
A few months ago the lovely Kat from Kitsch Snitch turned me on to the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipsticks, and, like her, my favourite colour is Hot Pepper.
I find matte lipsticks can often be very chunky and difficult to touch up during the day, but this matte has none of those issues. If you don't like wearing lipstick then this could be the product for you, as it really feels like you're wearing nothing. These usually retail for about $27 AU, but you can get them on sale at Priceline and ASOS for a lot less than that. (I bought mine for about $13.50.)
My favourite complexion product of the year was a product I received in a Wantable subscription box: the Tarina Tarantino Hyperlight, which is basically a concealer with a touch of illuminator in it.
This little beauty comes in a clickable pen and a little goes a long way. It feels really good on my skin and the slight shimmer it gives is very flattering. It's by far the best concealer I have ever used, for some reason I've always had trouble with them. It retails for $22 US.
I'm still hunting the perfect mascara but this one by Benefit comes close.
This was also a product I discovered thanks to a subscription box, this time the Australian box distributed by Marie Claire, 'The Parcel'. It gives a nice balance of volumising, curling and lengthening, so it's a great all round product. It retails $38 AU, but I'm still using the sample size so I haven't had to fork out for it yet.
Finally, a product I bought in the last few days. This isn't a new product or anything, but I'm loving it and it's new for me! It's the NARS The Multiple in Copacabana.
I splashed out getting this, using some giftcards I was given for Christmas - it's expensive at $52 AU. But as it works as both an eyeshadow and a highlighter I feel like I'll get my money's worth from this one. I'm a bit addicted to the rosy sheen this product gives and I love that NARS products are good to slap on with your hands. I like makeup but I'm pretty low maintenance with my routine, and I hate brushes (they irritate my skin) so fingers it is.
So there are my favourite beauty products for the last year. Have you been using something you really love? Spill!

Developing Web Applications for WebLogic Server
The following sections discuss application events and event listener classes:
Application events provide notifications of a change in state of the servlet context (each Web application uses its own servlet context) or of an HTTP session object. You write event listener classes that respond to these changes in state, and you configure and deploy them in a Web application. The servlet container generates events that cause the event listener classes to do something. In other words, the servlet container calls the methods on a user's event listener class.
The following is an overview of this process:
For servlet context events, the event listener classes can receive notification when the Web application is deployed or undeployed (or when WebLogic Server shuts down), and when attributes are added, removed, or replaced.
For HTTP session events, the event listener classes can receive notification when an HTTP session is activated or is about to be passivated, and when an HTTP session attribute is added, removed, or replaced.
Use Web application event listener classes to:
The following table lists the types of Servlet context events, the interface your event listener class must implement to respond to each Servlet context event, and the methods invoked when the Servlet context event occurs.
The following table lists the types of HTTP session events your event listener class must implement to respond to the HTTP session events and the methods invoked when the HTTP session events occur.
Note: The Servlet 2.3 specification also contains the
javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener and the
javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionActivationListener interfaces. These interfaces are implemented by objects that are stored as session attributes and do not require registration of an event listener in
web.xml. For more information, see the Javadocs for these interfaces.
To configure an event listener class:
web.xml deployment descriptor of the Web application for which you are creating an event listener class in a text editor. The
web.xml file is located in the
WEB-INF directory of your Web application.
<listener> element. The event declaration defines the event listener class that is invoked when the event occurs. The
<listener> element must directly follow the
<filter> and
<filter-mapping> elements and directly precede the
<servlet> element. You can specify more than one event listener class for each type of event. WebLogic Server invokes the event listener classes in the order that they appear in the deployment descriptor (except for shutdown events, which are invoked in the reverse order). For example:
To write an event listener class:
The following useful classes are passed into the methods in an event listener class:
The following examples provide some basic templates for event listener classes.
package myApp;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public final class MyContextListenerClass implements
ServletContextListener {
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
/* This method is called when the servlet context is
initialized(when the Web application is deployed).
You can initialize servlet context related data here.
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
/* This method is invoked when the Servlet Context
(the Web application) is undeployed or
WebLogic Server shuts down.
package myApp;
import javax.servlet.*;
public final class MySessionAttributeListenerClass implements
HttpSessionAttributeListener {
public void attributeAdded(HttpSessionBindingEvent sbe) {
/* This method is called when an attribute
is added to a session.
public void attributeRemoved(HttpSessionBindingEvent sbe) {
/* This method is called when an attribute
is removed from a session.
public void attributeReplaced(HttpSessionBindingEvent sbe) {
/* This method is invoked when an attibute
is replaced in a session.

Slow-Starting Steelers Not Alone
If the subject is early season trouble in the NFL, where to begin?
Carolina, Tennessee and Miami - every one a division champion in 2008 - are a combined 0-9.
The Washington Redskins are in shocked disarray. Terrell Owens is making no catches and sparring with the media in Buffalo. The Cleveland Browns have been outscored 95-29. The St. Louis Rams have 24 points in three games. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, unable to gain 100 yards against the Giants, are changing quarterbacks.
The defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals have lost their first two home games.
In Oakland, it is hard to decide what has hurt worse, the punch the head coach allegedly threw to break an assistant's jaw, or JaMarcus Russell's 39.8 quarterback rating.
Seven teams - 22 percent of the league - are 0-3, which is about the mark where the public and the media go to condition red.
And here's something else to chew on. The Detroit Lions have as good a record as the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"It's not where we wanted to be," Hines Ward was saying. He meant the Steelers, not the Lions.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't rewind and go back and play those games."
Among the many shaky Septembers, Pittsburgh might own as baffling as any. The 1-2 Steelers have thrown away late leads in two straight games, and been outscored 24-0 in the fourth quarter.
They are standing Super Bowl champions, with a roster full of proven deliverers at crunch time. The Steelers are presumed to be too solid and scary to blow games. But there are worrisome numbers.
-Fourth quarter touchdowns this season? None.
-Turnovers forced in three games? Two.
-Sacks by the defense? Four.
They have misplaced their flair for making the plays that put away opponents, at least temporarily. So you can scoop up the frustration in the locker room with a snow shovel.
"That's the mark of a champion," coach Mike Tomlin said the other day after the game slipped away in Cincinnati. "It's not us at the moment."
His solution?
"I think we have to get it fixed in a hurry," he said Tuesday at his news conference. "How you fix it is you go out and win football games. If we do that, this will be a distant, miserable moment. If we don't, this will continue. That is the story of the NFL."
Hard to tell what might be eating at the Steelers when the games are on the line. "If you can make those plays for 3 1/2 quarters," safety Ryan Clark said, "you can make them for four."
Could there be complacency, distraction, age? Six starters last weekend were 31 or older. Does the injury to defensive cornerstone Troy Polamalu mean that much?
Questions, questions. And barely only seven months since the Super Bowl.
"We strive to make those plays," defensive end Brett Keisel said. "If we don't start making them, it's going to be a long year."
"It's adversity we have to face," Ben Roethlisberger said. "We have to show our character to overcome something like this."
The new faces haven't helped so far, either. Tomlin was so annoyed at the preparation of first-round draft choice Rashard Mendenhall at running back - "Rashard wasn't on the details this week" - he didn't use him at Cincinnati.
This is uncommon turbulence for the Steelers, who have been the most stable and consistent contenders in all of sport. And even if it's still early, a warning shot has already been fired in the division. The Baltimore Ravens are 3-0. The Steelers are home Sunday to San Diego, and "desperate" does not seem too strong of a word.
"We have to go back to the drawing board," linebacker James Farrior said.
If it's any consolation to the Steelers, they can look around the NFL, and find lots of company.

Microsoft's Surface RT tablet has been available in China via two outlets but that is soon about to change. Rather than Microsoft's online store and a store called Suning (which is similar to BestBuy in the United States), outlets such as PC Mall, One Zero, and 360buy will carry the Surface RT.
Back in October of 2012, Microsoft opened up an online Microsoft Store in China. The company also has a partnership with Suning but due to weak sales of the Surface RT, Microsoft has extended its distribution network to include PC Mall, Sundan, One Zero, and 360buy.
Suning isn't keeping Microsoft happy according to reports. "The distributor simply hasn't been pushing Surface hard enough: advertising is scarce, customer service tends to be sloppy, and even the sales representatives don't seem to know a lot of Surface tablets," the report stated. However, the Surface RT will still be sold at Suning.
Microsoft also recently announced a partnership with Tmall.com in China to launch yet another online store to promote the company's Surface tablet line, Office productivity suite, Windows Phone platform, and more.
This expansion to more retail outlets is obviously great news for those in China who are hoping to get their hands on a Surface RT.

A brush fire that torched a large section of dune grass at the end of Miacomet Road Friday night was extinguished by firefighters.
A 40 by 50-foot area of dune grass caught fire just before 10 p.m., and the Nantucket Fire Department responded with an engine, as well as police officers on ATVs.
Fire chief Mark McDougall said at the scene the cause of the fire was still unknown.
A witness reported that the flames reached 20 feet high at one point.

- My first hardware hack. It was possible to solder a few wires and short-circuit the memory flushing and reboot process of the C64 via the games cartridge mechanism to construct a "reset" button. This meant that you could insert the game cartridge, load the game, hold-down your cobbled together reset button, remove the games cartridge, and use some C64 assembly language to manipulate the game (still in memory). From there you could add your own boot loader, save to tape or floppy, and create a back-up copy of the game.
- "Back-up Copies" and Community. C64 games, while plentiful, were damned expensive and took a long time to get to New Zealand. So a bunch of friends all with C64's would pool our money every few weeks to buy the latest game from the UK or US; thereafter creating "back-ups" for each-other to hold on to – just in case the costly original ever broke. Obviously, those back-up copies needed to be regularly tested for integrity. Anyhow, that was the basis of South Auckland's community of C64 Hackers back in 1983-1985. A bunch of 10-14 year-olds sharing the latest C64 games.
- Copy-protection Bypassing. Unsurprisingly, our bunch of kiwi hackers weren't the first or only people to create unauthorized back-ups of games. As floppies replaced tapes and physical cassettes as the preferred media for C64 games, the software vendors started their never-ending quest of adding copy-protection to protect unauthorized copying and back-ups. For me, this was when hacking become a passion. Here were companies of dozens, if not hundreds, of professional software developers trying to prevent us from backing-up the programs we had purchased. For years we learned, developed, and shared techniques to bypass the protections; creating new tools for backing-up, outright removal of onerous copy-protection, and shrinking bloated games to fit on single floppies.
- Games Hacking. At some point, you literally have too many games and the thrill of the chase changes. Instead of looking forward to playing the latest game for dozens of hours or days and iteratively working through campaigns, I found myself turning to hacking the games themselves. The challenge became partially reversing each game, constructing new cheats and bypasses, and wrapping them up in a cool loader for a backed-up copy of the game. Here you could gain infinite lives, ammo, gold, or whatever, and quickly step through the game – seeing all it had to offer and doing so within an hour.
- Hacking for Profit. Once some degree of reputation for bypassing copy-protection and creating reliable cheater apps got around, I found that my base of "friends" grew, and monetary transactions started to become more common. Like-minded souls wanted to buy hacks and tools to back-up their latest game, and others wanted to bypass difficult game levels or creatures. So, for $5-10 I'd sell the latest cheat I had.
This is PART ONE of THREE.
PART TWO (BBS Hacking) is up and PART THREE (Radar Hacking) on Wednesday.

Ferrofish to showcase Pulse16, Pulse16 MX Converters.
Tuesday, January 23, 2018 — Anaheim, CA — Ferrofish, German manufacturer of premium conversion solutions for the pro-audio, broadcast and integration markets, has announced it will showcase its Pulse16 and Pulse16 MX recording interfaces at booth 14701, during the 2018 NAMM Show. The Pulse16 boasts 16 channels each of analog input and output in a single rack space chassis. The full I/O is deliverable via ADAT at up to 96 kHz, while the Pulse16 MX adds MADI connectivity. The Pulse16 and Pulse16 MX adopt the latest features and AD/DA conversion of the company's popular A32 Converter, resulting in a powerful, compact interface at an enticing price.
Feeling the Pulse
The Pulse16 and Pulse16 MX's 16 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs are available on TRS connectors and are capable of handling levels up to +20dBu, allowing easy integration into any studio environment. At the core of both models is the latest generation Cirrus Logic conversion chip, providing pristine 24 bit/96 kHz AD/DA conversion. Dual ADAT I/O pairs handled by the Pulse16's four TOSLINK ports enable digital delivery of the full 16×16 Analog Channel count even at 96 kHz. MADI I/O, available on the Pulse16 MX or Pulse16 via an expansion card, expands the unit's connectivity options further. Included Wordclock I/O ports enable synching both Pulse16 models with other digital equipment, and MIDI I/O ports enable full remote control of interface functionality.
The Pulse16 and Pulse16 MX sport full signal monitoring and comprehensive routing control via dual TFT LCD displays on the front of the unit. The displays can also provide detailed signal level readings for each channel, while a front-panel headphone output is available to allow easy monitoring of any stereo or mono signal passing through the interface on the fly. The innovative always-on contextual help feature, made popular in Ferrofish's A32 interface, is also available to make menu navigation a snap.
Pulse16 MX converter
Based on the successful Pulse16, the new Pulse16 MX adds an optical SFP MADI port to the popular converter design. Using the most current generation of 24bit/192kHz Cirrus Logic converters, it converts between 16×16 analog audio channels and the digital domain consisting of four ADAT and one SFP MADI port. Offering different types of modules (multimode/singlemode), which can be replaced easily, the optical MADI cable can be up to 2km or 10km long. Up to four units can be daisy chained using MADI for a total Analog Channel count of 64×64. So the new Pulse16 MX makes an exceptional choice for recording, broadcast, and installed sound — wherever high-end signal conversion is required.
The Pulse16 MX features two TFT displays for detailed information of all 32 channels at a glance—providing a clear overview of signal flow in and out of the unit. A circuit for active jitter reduction results in highly detailed resolution and great overall sound. Equally notable, the Pulse 16 incorporates Wordclock for integration into existing digital environments and MIDI I/O for remote control of the unit. For acoustic monitoring, any desired mono or stereo signal can be presented to the headphone output on the front panel. Of course many popular features from the famous A32 have been added as well: Preset Management, Panel Lock, Daisy-chain-compensation and a sophisticated routing matrix.
"The Ferrofish Pulse16 MX combines the performance of the renowned Pulse16 with a flexibility of the professional MADI format at an really good pricepoint." Juergen Kindermann, CEO of Ferrofish, comments.

Most of you probably know of the Catholic scholar Scott Hahn. He's brilliant and he's charitable. Good combination, that.
He tells the story about how he found himself sitting at a restaurant eating breakfast with a scholar of Islam. They were eating breakfast because they were going to have a public dialogue and they wanted to set some basic parameters and starting points for that dialogue.
Four or five minutes into the breakfast, Scott Hahn referred to God as Father, Abba.
Now, that seems innocuous enough. But the Islamic scholar slammed his hand on the table and said, "Do not blaspheme!" Dr. Hahn was taken aback—calling God "Father" is a blasphemy? I mean, Jesus told us to call God Abba and to pray "Our Father…"
So Hahn asked the scholar why? The Islamic scholar explained: because Allah is not Abba. Allah does not love as a Father; Allah is an owner, a master.
In this moment, Dr. Hahn came to "a great clarity" about how our religions are different: they differed on this point of God as a loving Father.
* * *
There is a lot of talk today about what Islam is and what Islam is not. Is it a religion of peace or is a religion of terror? The reality seems to be that it can legitimately be both.
How so?
The brief answer: Islam has no overarching authority or power to resolve disputes in doctrine, nothing to say "yes, this peace is It" or "no, this terror is not It." In other words, they have no Magisterium. As such, any interpretation of Islam—peace or violence—can be advanced as valid.
Catholicism, on the other hand, believes that there is a capital-T Truth to Jesus' question "Who do you say that I am?" and Catholicism further believes that there is something that helps us to arrive at that answer, namely the Magisterium.
In fact, the existence of the Magisterium is a hallmark of our God's Fatherhood.
What I mean by that is, if you are a dad, you don't want your children to have to guess about how to live: about what is right and what is wrong. Even less do you want them to guess about who you are and about how you love them. So, you teach them and you make things clear.
Our Heavenly Father loves us and, through His Son, Jesus Christ, established the Catholic Church and promised the Holy Spirit to guide Her, such that whoever heard the Church heard Him (cf. Luke 10:16). This Magisterium, the teaching authority of the Church, was given by our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ and He promised He would guard and preserve His teaching through the Church while also presenting and interpreting His teaching in every age and in every place so that all nations would know Him beyond a shadow of a doubt and know how to Love Him and our neighbor in the Truth.
* * *
The Father goes so far as to say, when giving this power to His Church, that the "gates of hell will not prevail against her [the Church]" (Mt 16:18).
He said this because He knew that the Church would be under attack.
In the winds of secularism that are blowing (secularism being the belief that God doesn't matter or doesn't care and that there are no overarching moral Truths by which we are to center our life and so on)—In these winds of secularism, every religion is under attack. Islam included.
Islam, however, has nothing to protect itself, nothing to defend itself from devolving into secularism—except itself and however it wishes to do that, by peacefully being silent or by being violent.
Our brothers and sisters in the Protestant communities also face the same battle; but without a Magisterium, they too can easily devolve.
Indeed, the same can be said about every Catholic that protests against the Father's Church. All who separate themselves from the Father's protection in the Church open themselves up to the corrupting and terrifying forces of secularism where nothing really matters, where Truth really isn't real, where God is no longer seen as caring or as a Father, and where disunity and hatred reign.
St. Cyprian of Carthage, when he saw the North African church tearing itself apart in 251 AD, wrote, "You cannot have God as Father without having the Church as Mother."
What he meant was: If we do not have the Church to protect us, then we will lose the Truth about who God our Father is, about how He is loving and merciful and provident and creative. And what's more: if we do not have God as Father, then we will never be a child of God or see others as children of God either. That's the perfect storm for violence. But we know we are called for and made for love.
In a secular kingdom, those who lead will have no idea how to battle radical Islamic terrorism precisely because the objective moral grounds on which we could battle are lost. Instead, the battle would come to any person who is not secular. Secular Muslims and secular Protestants and secular Catholics don't have to battle. Rather, it's those who hold to Christ and to His Father who will have to battle (like the Little Sisters of the Poor who have to battle against mandates that try and force them and us to violate our conscience and our Father's teachings in the Church). To think: the Little Sisters and us are seen as radical precisely because we love Jesus and His Father's Church—radical precisely because we are not secular.
That day is now. And Jesus wants to know: who do you say that I am? Each group in our society has an answer… but Jesus is asking you and me: who do you say that I am?
The radicals are the ones who respond by "taking up their cross" and following Him.
The radicals are the ones who respond by "taking up their cross" and following Him.
* * *
Why do I mention this on Father's Day?
Fatherhood is connected to God the Father, the one who is creative and the giver of life, the one who is strong and who uses that strength to pardon, to be patient. and to bless.
Fatherhood was not something that just happened biologically (we aren't fathers just by growing older); rather, it was something bequeathed. Before becoming a father, a boy would have to become a man and a man would have to be man enough to be a husband. Only then could he have the right to have the same title as God the Father. Exhibit A should be the priest: we call him Father not because of biology, but because by grace the priest participates (or, at least, should participate) in the one Fatherhood of God.
In short, fatherhood is supposed to be passed on, bequeathed, by our fathers: and that's our dads, our priests, and any male role-model.
When our secular culture attacked us with doubts of faith, Fatherhood was quickly disconnected from its divine roots. We were faced with having to redefine Fatherhood. And redefined it was! Dad didn't have to be like God the Father; he could simply be a bread-winner or a sports coach. When contraceptives and cohabitation were thrown at us, fatherhood was redefined again: fathers could be boys without ever having become men or husbands first. The winds of secularism blew and fatherhood was even separated from being male. We were just. like. everyone. else. The reason for our strength didn't make sense anymore….
We had become Adam in the Garden, quiet and weak as Eve was attacked by the devil himself.
And notice: the secularization of Fatherhood resulted in a massive vulnerability and attack on Motherhood and Women.
* * *
Where do we go from here?
If we are men who have fallen prey to this and been rendered impotent by our secular culture, the Church is here to help us rediscover our strength and our authentic Fatherhood. I will admit, it is a battle, but the Church is with us, giving us the strength of God in the Sacraments and the witness of 2,000 years of saintly men who have stood up in battle against the devil himself.
For my part, I ask you to pray for me who am called "Father." It is so easy to fall into the two camps opposed to true fatherhood: the one camp that simply turns fatherhood into a job, a way of owning; and the other which is simply boyish and afraid to stand up in the winds of danger. This is when I have to go to my heavenly Father and say, "Father, help me. I'm afraid" or "I need your help" or "I'm not good enough, please help me to be a good Father."
Please pray for me and for all fathers—priests up here and for the men in the pews.
And fathers, let us band together like a band of brothers and pray for each other: an Our Father every day. We are in this together. We need each other.
Let us pray for all our brothers and sisters, including those of the Islamic faith, who do not yet know this loving Father, that they may see Him.
I truly believe that, the more we encounter God our Father, the more we will grow to be like Him: loving, merciful, provident, patient—a good Father. He will bequeath on us all of His treasures, His kingdom—indeed, His own dignity as Father. Let us go to Him now, therefore, He who loves us and let us ask Him for His blessing. Amen.

DoceboInspire speaker Lucille Tambellini provides her insights on learning best practices, the future of L&D, and more!
DoceboInspire is our L&D conference taking place in Boston on September 18-19, 2017. As the event quickly approaches, we've added some amazing individuals to our growing speaker lineup.
One of these awesome speakers is Lucille Tambellini, Product Manager at SEI Learning. Lucille will be speaking on our analyst track. We recently asked Lucille a number of questions about how her unique background has informed her L&D knowledge and her thoughts on the future of eLearning.
Here's what she had to say:
How did you enter the field of L&D and why is it important to you today?
I actually started out designing software products for transaction processing in the financial services industry and loved it. My enthusiasm for the field spilled over into teaching adult business students at a local university. When the university initiated its first distance education program, I was delighted to design and experiment in that new space.
What I loved about designing productivity software, and what I love about this field, is that it has at its heart a noble aspiration to help people work better – enabling people to become more productive, more creative, and more satisfied in their work.
You have a unique combination of experience in educational technology and product development. How has this shaped your understanding of corporate learning best practices?
Very practically. The discipline I learned working in software product development strongly influences my approach to training/educational product development and lifecycle management. Structured analysis and design methodologies were deeply rooted in software development long before the field of instructional design, as we know it today. Now we're using Agile methodologies for instructional design, years after adoption by the software industry.
I approach each training project as a product that must satisfy a need, at the time of need, with quality and reliability – always with the person, the consumer of that product, in mind.
In your opinion, what is the most important L&D trend on the rise?
Something that is becoming increasingly important to me is that trends are just that – trendy – and to use them cautiously. Often very deep learning is accomplished through very simple means.
However, to answer the question – there are so many! The expansion of xAPI in the industry is really exciting. The fact that we learn from many different sources, forms, and formats is common knowledge, but being able to seamlessly recognize it is powerful.
What excites you most about the future of learning technology?
I have a plaque in my office with a quote from Michelangelo, "I am still learning." New learning technologies have the potential to expand the possibilities and opportunities for people. That alone is exciting!
I'm excited to see which new technologies will prove to be efficacious and how they will be creatively employed for the purpose of achieving educational goals.
Why are you excited to attend DoceboInspire?
I'm eager to meet other learning professionals who have intentionally selected Docebo as their learning management system (LMS) provider – we have an important common factor in our work! I think it's important to meet and converse about our shared experiences, our challenges, and even our combined vision for the future.
Meet 300+ L&D professionals at DoceboInspire! Register today.

This sourcebook brings together in a single volume an extensive amount of information and resources regarding the diagnosis and treatment of these potentially life-threatening conditions. This volume is a substantially updated and expanded version of Controlling Eating Disorders with Facts, Advice, and Resources (Oryx, 1992). Excerpt Although anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder (compulsive overeating) share common features, each disorder is characterized by specific symptoms and signs. Although some of the symptoms of eating disorders are easily observable, others often go unnoticed. This chapter will discuss the behavioral, physical, and psychological features of anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Each disorder will be examined separately to provide a complete picture of the disorder and to emphasize the similarities and differences among the disorders.ANOREXIA NERVOSABehavioral FeaturesAnorexia nervosa, in its initial stages, may be difficult to distinguish from normal dieting. Like normal dieters, anorexics often avoid certain foods (e.g., fats, sweets, and breads) and reduce portions of other food groups. Unlike normal dieters, however, anorexics (usually young women) continue food restrictions after achieving a [normal] body weight. Whereas healthy dieters enjoy meals and eat what they are permitted (and sometimes more!), individuals with anorexia typically eat less than what is on the plate, perhaps no more than a few bites. Frequently, individuals with anorexia appear to be eating when, in fact, they are simply moving food around on the plate, cutting food into tiny servings, or taking small bites while chewing slowly. While normal dieters appreciate their weight loss and the positive changes in their bodies, in contrast, individuals with anorexia describe themselves as overweight and fat, even after becoming severely emaciated. When confronted with their weight loss and eating problems, anorexic individuals often deny that they are restricting and that they have a problem with food. They may become quite defensive and even hostile.Not only do individuals with anorexia display eating behaviors distinct from normal eating or typical dieting, but they also demonstrate unusual responses to eating or to eating situations. Instead of looking forward to being with others at meals, they often find excuses to eat alone. Initially, they may isolate themselves only at mealtimes; later, they begin to withdraw from social situations more completely. Commonly, individuals with anorexia demonstrate an exaggerated interest in recipes and cooking for others. Some individuals with anorexia go to great lengths to prepare gourmet meals that they serve to others, but not to themselves. Some individuals with anorexia also deny feelings of hunger or cravings for food. Often, after eating a small meal, or hardly anything at all, individuals with anorexia become . . .

Recombinant human growth hormone (somatotropin) 191 residues, MW 22.1 kD, synthesized in E. coli
Used in the treatment of dwarfism and growth failure, growth hormone (hGH) stimulates skeletal growth in pediatric patients with growth failure due to a lack of adequate secretion of endogenous GH. Skeletal growth is accomplished at the epiphyseal plates at the ends of a growing bone. Growth and metabolism of epiphyseal plate cells are directly stimulated by GH and one of its mediators, IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor).
For treatment of dwarfism, acromegaly and prevention of HIV-induced weight loss
hGH binds to the human growth hormone receptor (GHR). Upon binding, hGH causes dimerization of GHR, activation of the GHR-associated JAK2 tyrosine kinase, and tyrosyl phosphorylation of both JAK2 and GHR. These events recruit and/or activate a variety of signaling molecules, including MAP kinases, insulin receptor substrates, phosphatidylinositol 3' phosphate kinase, diacylglycerol, protein kinase C, intracellular calcium, and Stat transcription factors. These signaling molecules contribute to the GH-induced changes in enzymatic activity, transport function, and gene expression that ultimately culminate in changes in growth and metabolism.

We have allbeen on either the giving or receiving end of a helpful intraoperative consult. It is always remarkable how a different point of view, a different incision, or a unique approach to the operative management of a problem can turn a sour occasion into a successful one. When one is the urologist called in to repair an iatrogenic injury to the genitourinary system, it is essential that we bring that fresh perspective to the situation. This is best accomplished via two principles: (1) do your best to duplicate the operative setting with which we are all more familiar - the elective case, and (2) be flexible and change your approach as demanded by the clinical situation at hand.

One of the masters of modern Yiddish prose, David Bergelson was born in Okhrimova, Ukraine, in 1884. His works deal with the decline of the small-town Ukrainian Jewish shtetl before and during the Russian Revolution. Bergelson left Soviet Russia for Western Europe in 1921, returning there in 1934. On August 12, 1952, along with 23 other notable Soviet Jewish personalities, Bergelson was executed in Moscow. Although some of his shorter works have appeared in anthologies of Yiddish fiction in English translation, only one of his longer novels has been translated.

Nuclear Medicine Technologist: Salary and Career Facts
Research what it takes to become a nuclear medicine technologist. Learn about job duties, education requirements, licensing and employment outlook to find out if this is the career for you.
What Is a Nuclear Medicine Technologist?
Nuclear medicine technologists use specialized diagnostic imaging techniques to create images of organs in the human body. Specifically, they prepare radiopharmaceuticals, administer them to patients and operate the scanning equipment that generates the images. Based on the levels of radiation in different parts of the body, physicians can use the images to diagnose medical conditions. Nuclear medical technologists also monitor the patient throughout the process and dispose of all radioactive materials after the procedure is complete. Some choose to specialize in a particular procedure, such as positron emission tomography (PET) scanning or nuclear cardiology scanning.
They assist physicians in analyzing these images to see if there are medical issues. The following chart gives an overview of how to enter this profession.
|Degree Required
|Associate's or bachelor's degree
|Education Field of Study
|Nuclear medicine technology; positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear cardiology (NCT) specialties available
|Key Responsibilities
|Guide patients through imaging process, including administration of radioactive chemicals; follow radiation safety protocols; keep patient records
|License requirements vary by state; some employers require certification
|Job Growth (2018-2028 )
|Average Salary (2018)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
What Does a Nuclear Medicine Technologist Do?
As a nuclear medicine technologist, you will use radioactive materials to create images of organs and study body functions to diagnose and plan treatments for various illnesses. You would administer chemicals to patients through various methods that will congregate in a specific organ or organ system. You will then use scintillation cameras to take computer images so that medical professionals can study the images and make determinations about the condition of the organ or organ system being examined.
You can specialize in two different areas of nuclear medicine technology. In nuclear cardiology, you would focus on myocardial perfusion imaging so you would be scanning the whole body while the patient is exercising. In positron emission tomography or PET, you would create 3-D imaging of the body.
What Type of Education, Training or Certification Do I Need?
Programs in nuclear medicine technology can result in certificate, an associate's degree or a bachelor's degree, depending on the requirements of the program and the requirements of your state of employment. One-year certificate programs are usually available for individuals who already have an associate's or bachelor's degree and some professional experience in the healthcare field. There were over 100 programs in the United States accredited by the Joint Review Committee Program on Education Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology in 2017.
Licensing in this field varies from state to state, so it is important to check with the state of employment about specific requirements. As of 2015, about half of the states required licensing for nuclear medicine technologists.
Certification may be optional; however, many third-party payers require technologists to be licensed in order for the facility to be paid. The Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) provides a certification exam in both nuclear cardiology and PET. In order to sit for the certification exam, you must first complete a nuclear medical technology program, obtain clinical experience, complete particular coursework and go through a pre-certification approval process. All of these requirements must be met within five years of sitting for the certification exam. (www.nmtcb.org)
What Is the Job Outlook?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), during the 2018-2028 decade, the nuclear medicine technology profession is expected to experience a faster-than-average job growth of 7%. The growth will likely result from the growth of aging population, but it will probably be slower than for professionals who use less invasive imaging technologies, such as ultrasound. As of May 2018, the average yearly income for a nuclear medicine technologist was $78,870.
What Are Some Related Alternative Careers?
If you are interested in radiation-based diagnostic imaging testing, you might be interested in becoming a radiographic technologist or MRI scanner. Rather than using radiopharmaceuticals, these professionals use x-ray machines, CT scanners and/or MRI scanners to take images that doctors can use to diagnose illness or injury. Like nuclear medicine technologists, it is necessary to hold an associate's degree and sometimes a license in order to get one of these jobs. Another closely related job option is work as a radiation therapist. Rather than creating images, therapists use radiation machinery to treat medical conditions like cancer. The minimum educational requirement for this job is an associate's degree.

When shares of Apple touched a record high at the beginning of the month it marked a very special milestone, Apple became the first company in the world to have a $1 trillion USD market capitalization. Stock prices rise and fall and corporate fortunes can change as quickly as the seasons, but Apple reaching a valuation of $1 trillion is a remarkable achievement.
To put this into perspective we have a few Infographics on what a trillion dollars actually means. For instance that's larger than the GDP of any country in ASEAN except Indonesia which it is roughly equivalent to. Yes comparing the market valuation for a company and an annual accounting of a country's economic output is (pardon the pun) apples and oranges, but it's a useful point of reference.
Put another way, $1 trillion is equal to around $142 for every man, woman and child on planet earth. That's a lot of money.

I work with leaders daily who are always looking for ways to encourage and motivate their teams to meet goals. As a leader, it can be difficult getting a team to think together and to move forward together. I believe this is up to the leader and how they connect with their team. As a leader, you must remember that you can no longer do the hands-on tasks. Each member of your team now has the tasks to do as you oversee and mentor them. Your job now is to connect with each member of your team and lead them in the ways they should working and getting tasks completed. I always tell leaders to become an expert of people rather than tasks. In order to motivate others, it is all about delegating and how you do that makes the biggest impact. Here are three key factors to building and leading strong teams:
- Get to know each member of your team. To do this, you must connect and figure out what their strengths are and what their role may be in your organization. By doing this, you are bringing value to your staff and appreciating them and what they can bring to the team. I give the DISC personality tests to my staff so that I can understand their talents and work with them more efficiently.
- Encourage your team by showing them the end result. Each member of the team has to feel they are a part of the vision. The more you connect them to your end result the quicker your team comes together to get the job done.
- Follow-up with key leaders on your team to make sure everything is moving forward. Your goal as a leader is to find areas that could slow your progress down. As you unlock these areas, your team will appreciate the progress you bring them.

2017 was 'year of transition' for Saudi Arabia according to JLL
JLL has issued a statement announcing that 2017 was a year of transition for Saudi Arabia. The professional services firm notes that social and economic reforms marked a turning point for the Kingdom and paved the way for economic and real estate growth.
The government in the Kingdom took measures to reduce fiscal debt in 2017 and introduced a stimulus package, while simultaneously waiving fees for small businesses and investors according to JLL. These initiatives are expected to bolster the construction of housing, backed by a 2018 spending budget of SAR 978bn. The proposed budget is the largest ever and represents a 5.6% increase on actual spending in 2017.
"With the introduction of various social and economic reforms in Saudi Arabia, we embraced the transitional phase of the economy in 2017, in line with the National Transformation Program and the Saudi Vision 2030," said Eng. Ibrahim Albuloushi, country head, KSA, JLL.
Oxford Economics forecasts a return to positive real GDP growth (2%) in 2018, following a contraction of 0.7% recorded in 2017. According to JLL's KSA real estate report, this has pushed investors, entrepreneurs and businesses to explore new opportunities and areas of investment with the country.
The lifting of the ban on women driving is expected to create a surge in demand in the auto industry and its support sectors. This, combined with other reforms are expected to translate into positive economic growth.
"The year ahead focuses on the implementation phase of the reforms highlighting growth in the tourism sector where the hospitality and retail sectors are poised to benefit, as the government eases visa requirements for tourists," added Albuloushi.
