GamePowerWith enough questions to keep most casual players entertained for weeks, an enjoyable and fully customizable presentation, and a lightning-quick ALT-TAB program-switching function, Rules Of The Game is perfect fodder for that lunchtime sports trivia interlude.
It has a nice box -- all embossed, with a raised, textured logo and a cool-looking referee pointing right at you. Other than that, there's not much good to say about Rules of the Game.
As a multimedia computer game, it's a swing and a miss. Players will likely give this title only a few chances before putting it back on the shelf due to its static presentation, limited gameplay, and painfully annoying animated host.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
My perpetual running lateness and general disregard for time constraints has found its way into my face maintenance/personal upkeep practices. Though I do love face-things, I admit to being EXTREMELY behind the times on what's cool right now. I also don't pretend to know what's "on trend," or how to do my makeup, or dress myself, so here we are: I only recently ventured into the wide, expansive universe of Korean beauty products. Better late than never? YOU DECIDE.
I hate to refer to the relatively recent popularity of Korean beauty products as a "trend" because Korean people have, of course, been using them before they became "trendy" in the U.S. Trendy, actually, is an understatement, because the demand for Korean or Korean-style beauty products seem to have taken over the market, as we can see in the emergence of BB Creams EVERYWHERE, for example. I haven't looked back since hopping on the BB Cream train, which is great for people like me who want to look semi-decent but usually can't be bothered to try, and I wanted to see what else was out there.
For those who haven't had the pleasure of becoming intimately acquainted with it, Korean snail cream is (allegedly -- I can't read the label printed in Korean) made with Helix aspersa muller glycoconjugates, or the slimy slime secreted by snails. When snails are agitated, they release a thick goop laced with nutrients like hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, antimicrobial and copper peptides, that are thought to stimulate cell regeneration and moisturize the skin.
The slime is harvested and used as the primary ingredient in the cream, and sometimes the live snails are even used as part of a "snail facial." I don't know of any extensive studies that prove any of this is worth the psychological trauma of having a snail crawl across your face or applying its juice to the skin, but snail slime isn't the worst thing I've ever had on my face. So...
My only reservations were these: I have no idea what else is in the cream since I don't read Korean. Not that I've ever really cared what was in my makeup, but with non-Korean makeup I can at least type "p-phenylenediamine" into Google and understand the search results. Also, I'm unsure whether it's ethical to agitate snails and harvest their slime. Probably not. Does it hurt them? Do they hate it?
I don't hate snails in the same way I hate spiders and wish they would all burn a fiery death, but I find them deeply unsettling. When I was around seven or eight years old I was at a friend's house playing on a quickly-decomposing Little Tikes playground set in her overgrown backyard. We were way too big to be playing on a toddler-sized pile of cracking plastic, but I squeezed my way in through a staticky tunnel and down the slide. I leaned back and heard a crunch.
As soon as my feet hit the ground I turned and saw a brownish-green trail of something shiny streaked down the slide. My shirt felt wet, so I reached back and pulled away my hand in utter horror when I saw it was covered in chunky green slime and broken snail shells. Without my knowing, my "friend" had been collecting snails in her pocket that afternoon and stuck them to the back of my white t-shirt at some point before I slid down the slide, for no reason other than the fact that she is Satan's offspring. She was laughing like a tiny maniac when I started crying. She works as a phlebotomist now.
My fear of snails isn't my worst fear. It doesn't interfere with my life in any way, but it's stupid nonetheless.
I thought snail juice would be some kind of hidden secret ingredient, but there it was, right on the label.
I decided to use the Mizon Snail Repair Cream as a night cream. I opened the jar, and what I found inside was surprisingly somehow not gross at all. I kind of expected the cream to smell like maybe barf and broken dreams, but it smelled fairly neutral, like a regular unscented cream. The texture of the cream is slightly goopier than a regular face-cream, but it wasn't enough to be off-putting. I slept with snail slime on my face, and nothing bad happened.
Actually, my skin looks really fresh lately and started to glow. Thanks, snails. I think we can be friends now.
Have you tried Korean snail cream? Do you have an irrational fear of something completely harmless? Do you love snails enough to let them crawl on your face?

Andre Cassagnes: 7 Facts About the Etch A Sketch and Its Inventor
Kids today have iPads and Xbox game consoles, but a lot of Baby Boomers had a childhood gadget that we loved just as much, and it didn't even require batteries. The Etch A Sketch first appeared in toy stores in 1960 and became an immediate must-have in kids' letters to Santa. In the half-century since then, Ohio Art has sold more than 100 million of the classic toys, and children (even some adults) are still twisting the dials on the …

EA Technique falls 25% on debut listing
Posted on 12 December 2014 - 05:39am
KUALA LUMPUR: Shares of oil and gas service provider EA Technique (M) Bhd fell 16.5 sen or 25.38% yesterday in its debut on Bursa Malaysia amid weakness in oil and gas counters as a result of falling global oil prices.
This compares with the broad-based FBM KLCI's 1.19% decline yesterday.
EA Technique's share price saw a discount of 6 sen or 9.23% after the opening bell against its offer price of 65 sen. It closed the lowest at 48.5 sen on some 53.96 million shares done, being the day's most active counter.
Last Tuesday EA Technique announced that net profit for the third quarter ended Sept 30 almost halved, to RM4.78 million compared with RM8.17 million in the previous corresponding period on higher cost of services and administrative expenses.
Its managing director Datuk Ir Abdul Hak Amin however, believes the group's earnings will improve going forward given the delivery of new vessels.
He explained that the lackluster performance in the third quarter was mainly due to higher operating costs as as a result of the charter of several vessels from external parties.
"We've to charter in for higher price, the negative part we've to absorb," he said, adding that six new vessels are expected to be delivered by next year.
On the conversion of an oil tanker into a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO), Abdul Hak expects it will contribute an additional US$40 million (RM139 million) in revenue stream upon completion by April 2015. "We already have a firm contract (for the FSO), it's about US$40 million," he added.
E.A. Technique has an order book of RM1.2 billion, which could keep it busy until 2025. It is also bidding for RM1 billion worth of domestic jobs, with an expectation to secure one or two projects in the near future.
Abdul Hak stressed that the group will not be affected despite declining oil prices as all of its contracts are long term and have been locked-in.
"We're quite insulated, whether oil prices are up or down, it doesn't affect us," he added.
EA Technique currently operates 31 marine vessels, of which 22 vessels are owned by the company.
Of the RM74.1 million proceeds raised through the initial public offering (IPO), RM30 million will be used for the repayment of bank borrowings, RM29.2 million for capital expenditures and RM9.9 million for working capital.

What is Testicular Cancer?
What are the testicles? The testicles are male sex glands that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. The testicles are two walnut-shaped glands inside the scrotum. The scrotum is the sac of skin that lies below the penis.
What is testicular cancer?
Testicular cancer is a disease that occurs when cancerous (malignant) cells develop in the tissues of a testicle. The development of cancerous cells in both testicles can occur, but is very rare. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 20 to 35. The disease usually is curable.
What are the risk factors for developing testicular cancer?
Risk factors for developing testicular cancer include: * Undescended testicle(s) — This is when one or both testicles do not move down into the scrotum before birth. * Klinefelter's syndrome — This is a disorder in which males are born with an extra X chromosome in all or most of their cells. Certain other genetic syndromes are also associated with higher risk. * Race — Non-Hispanic, white men are more likely to develop this cancer than are men of other races and ethnicities. * Personal or family history — Men with a brother or father who had testis cancer have an increased risk of developing testis cancer themselves. Men who have had testis cancer themselves in one testicle are at increased risk of developing a second cancer in the other testicle.
What are the symptoms of testicular cancer?
The following symptoms can be signs of testicular cancer or of another condition. Consult a doctor if you have any of these symptoms: * Swelling in the scrotum * Lump or swelling in either testicle * Build-up of fluid on the scrotum * Dull ache in the groin or lower abdomen * Pain or discomfort in the scrotum or a testicle * How is testicular cancer diagnosed? Testiscular cancer is usually diagnosed after the man notices a lump or other change in a testicle. When an abnormality is suspected, an ultrasound is usually ordered, which is a painless medical test that helps the doctor to see whether there are abnormalities in the testicle. If the ultrasound shows evidence of cancer, then surgery is performed to remove the testicle and it is examined under a microscope to see whether cancer is present and, if so, what type of cancer. Thus, testicular cancer is only diagnosed after the testicle is removed and examined. Biopsies, which involve the removal of a small amount of tissue using a needle or other medical tool, are NOT performed on testicles because penetrating the testicle can make it more difficult to treat a cancer if one is discovered.
Tests to help diagnose testicular cancer can include:
* Ultrasound — This is a procedure that uses high-energy sound waves to form pictures of body tissues. * A physical exam and history — A physical exam and medical history can help the doctor look for problems that might be related to testicular cancer. * A serum tumor marker test — This procedure examines a blood sample to measure the amounts of certain substances linked to specific types of cancers. These substances are called tumor markers. The tumor markers that are often elevated in testicular cancer are alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG or beta-HCG) and lactate dehydrongenase (LDH). * Inguinal orchiectomy and biopsy — This procedure involves the removal of the entire testicle through an incision in the groin. A tissue sample from the testicle is then checked for cancer cells. * CT scans and X-rays — A CT scan is a medical test that uses x-rays to form pictures of the inside of the body. When a cancer is diagnosed or suspected, a CT scan (also referred to as a CAT scan) is performed to see whether cancer can be seen elsewhere in the body. In testis cancer, a CT scan is performed of the abdomen and pelvis. Images of the chest are taken using either a CT scan or a regular X-ray.
What are the stages of testicular cancer?
Stage 0 — Abnormal cells have developed but are still confined within the tubules where sperm cells start to develop.
Stage I - This stage consists of the stages IA, IB, and IS. In Stage IA, the cancer is confined to the testicle and the epididymis, and all tumor marker levels are normal. The cancer has not spread to the outer layer of the double membrane that surrounds the testicle and has not grown into the blood or lymph vessels. In Stage IB, at least one of the following applies: The cancer invades into the blood vessels or lymphatics within the testicle; the cancer has spread to the outer layer of the membrane around the testicle; and/or the cancer invades into the spermatic cord or the scrotum. In stage IB, all tumor marker levels are normal. In Stage IS, the cancer is anywhere within the testicle, spermatic cord, or scrotum and one or more of the tumor markers is elevated. Stage II - This stage consists of Stage IIA, Stage IIB, and Stage IIC and refers to patients whose cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the back of the abdomen (this part of the body is referred to as the retroperitoneum) but not to anywhere else. If patients with cancer in their lymph nodes have moderately or highly elevated tumor markers, then they are stage III rather than stage II. In Stage IIA, the cancer has spread to a maximum of five lymph nodes in the abdomen. None of the lymph nodes is larger than 2 centimeters in size. Tumor markers must be either normal or only mildly elevated. In stage IIB, the cancer has spread to more than 5 nodes, none of which is larger than 5 centimeters, or the cancer has spread to 5 or fewer nodes and there is a lymph node mass measuring between 2 and 5 centimeters. Tumor markers must be either normal or mildly elevated. In Stage IIC, the cancer has spread to at least one lymph node in the abdomen that is larger than 5 cm diameter. Tumor markers must be either normal or only mildly elevated. Stage III - This stage is divided into Stage IIIA, Stage IIIB, and Stage IIIC and is determined after an inguinal orchiectomy (removal of a testicle through an incision in the groin) is performed. In Stage IIIA, the cancer has spread to lymph nodes beyond the abdomen (such as lymph nodes in the chest) and/or to the lungs. Tumor markers must be normal or only mildly elevated. In stage IIIB, the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen or elsewhere (such as lymph nodes in the chest) and/or to the lungs and the tumor markers are moderately elevated. In stage IIIC, either the cancer has spread to an organ other than the lungs (such as the liver, the bones, or the brain) or the tumor markers are highly elevated and the cancer has spread to at least one lymph node or organ.
How is testicular cancer treated at each stage?
Nearly all testicular cancers start in the germ cells (those that become sperm or eggs). The main types of testicular germ cell tumors are seminomas and non-seminomas. Non-seminomas tend to grow and spread faster than do seminomas. Seminomas are more sensitive to radiation, and both kinds are very sensitive to chemotherapy. If a testicular tumor has both seminoma and nonseminoma cells, it is treated as a non-seminoma. The three main kinds of treatment for testicular cancer are:
Surgical treatment - This treatment can include removing the testicle (orchiectomy) and removing associated lymph nodes (lymphadenectomy). Usually, orchiectomy is performed for both seminoma and non-seminoma testicular cancers, whereas lymph node removal is used only for non-seminomas. Surgery may also be performed in certain situations to remove tumors from the lungs or liver if they have not disappeared following chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy - This treatment uses highdose X-rays. Radiation might be used after surgery for patients with seminomas to prevent the tumor from returning. Usually, radiation is limited to the treatment of seminomas.
Chemotherapy - This treatment uses drugs such as cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy has improved the survival rate for people with both seminomas and non-seminomas.
Treatment by stage for testicular cancer
In Stage I, the treatment is usually surgery to remove the testicle. For stage I seminomas, the standard treatment is observation, carboplatin chemotherapy, or radiation to the lymph nodes in the abdomen. For non-seminomas, management consists of observation, chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin, or surgery to remove lymph nodes in the abdomen. In Stage II, seminoma tumors are divided into bulky and non-bulky disease. Bulky disease is generally defined as tumors greater than 5 centimeters. For non-bulky disease, the treatment of stage II seminomas includes surgery to remove the testicle, followed by radiation to the lymph nodes or chemotherapy using nine weeks (three 21-day cycles) of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin, or 12 weeks (four 21-day cycles) of etoposide and cisplatin. . In cases of bulky disease, the treatment involves surgery to remove the testicle, followed by chemotherapy using nine weeks (three 21-day cycles) of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin, or 12 weeks (four 21-day cycles) of etoposide and cisplatin without bleomycin.
The treatment of Stage II non-seminomas is similarly divided into bulky and nonbulky disease, but the cutoff is lower at 2 centimeters. For nonbulky disease, treatment is usually surgery to remove the testicle followed by either surveillance with CT scans or surgery to remove the lymph nodes in the back of the abdomen (the retroperitoneum). If cancer is found in the lymph nodes that are removed, then six weeks of chemotherapy using cisplatin and etoposide (either with or without bleomycin) is often recommended. For bulky disease, surgery is performed to remove the testicle, followed by chemotherapy (the same chemotherapy as defined above for seminoma). After chemotherapy, surgery should be performed to remove the lymph nodes in the back of the abdomen if there are any remaining enlarged nodes. In Stage III, the treatment is surgery to remove the testicle followed by multi-drug chemotherapy. Treatment is the same for Stage III seminomas and non-seminomas, except that after chemotherapy, surgery is often performed to remove any residual tumors in non-seminomas. In seminomas, residual tumors usually do not require any additional treatment. Chemotherapy typically consists of nine weeks of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin, or 12 weeks of etoposide plus cisplatin for patients with favorable risk factors and 12 weeks of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin for patients with unfavorable risk factors. Unfavorable risk factors include highly elevated tumor markers in the blood and tumors in organs other than the lungs, such as the liver, bones, or brain. If the cancer is a recurrence of a previous testicular cancer, the treatment usually consists of chemotherapy using combinations of different medicines, such as ifosfamide, cisplatin, etoposide, vinblastine, or paclitaxel. This treatment sometimes is followed by an autologous bone marrow or peripheral stem-cell transplant. Recurrences occurring more than two years after initial treatment are usually treated surgically.
What is the prognosis (chance of recovery) for men with testicular cancer?
The prognosis is good for most men with testicular cancer. This form of cancer is treated successfully in more than 95 percent of cases. Even men with unfavorable risk factors have, on average, a 50 percent chance of being cured.
Can testicular cancer be prevented?
There is no way to prevent testicular cancer, but early detection is important. Men should perform testicular self-examination (TSE) on a monthly basis. If you are a male over 15 years old who has not been informed about how to perform TSE, ask your doctor to show you how to do this. If a man notices any change in his testicles (lumps or nodules, hardness, persistent pain, or a testicle becoming bigger or smaller), he should notify his doctor right away so that the testicles can be evaluated. -This information provided courtesy of Cleveland Clinic

POTTERS BAR, United Kingdom — Effective immediately, Bruno Hochstrasser returns to HARMAN's Studer as General Manager, reporting to Andy Trott (VP and General Manager, Mixing and Microphones & Headphones).
Bruno Hochstrasser joined Studer in 1971 and was highly instrumental in Studer's domination of the high-quality, recording studio tape machine market with iconic models like the A800 (he was actually the product manager for its launch in 1978!), amongst many others.
In 1990, Bruno became President of Studer. During the 1990s, the company reinvented itself following the demise of tape, and Bruno led Studer to become the digital mixing console brand it is today. Less than two years ago, Bruno decided to go into semi-retirement but remained connected with the company as a brand ambassador, mainly in the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
"Bruno is today's Mister Studer," said Andy Trott, "He has remained proud and loyal to Studer for over 40 years and I'm delighted he has succumbed to me tempting him out of retirement! We are facing a fascinating new era as we rejuvenate Studer with many new talented staff and the development of some groundbreaking technologies and this will require an experienced hand on the wheel. Bruno is liked and respected by our staff, distributors and customers alike, and I can't think of anyone better to do the job."
Studer recently launched the biggest recruitment campaign in the past 10 years and is expanding its R&D, Sales and Service teams, already resulting in several new appointments in the US, UK, Australasia, South America and Asia announced in the past six months. In June, Studer also launched its biggest education programme ever. The SBA (Studer Broadcast Academy) provides certification training for freelancers, staff engineers and system integrators worldwide, starting in the UK with courses run in the factory and via the 73-foot long Studer broadcast truck in the US. A European programme is expected to start in the autumn.
Bruno added, "For the past 40 years, Studer has been my life; I've seen it grow and reinvent itself and emerge as the best digital broadcast console business in the world today. The broadcast market is such an exciting place to be at the moment with so many changes presenting new opportunities for us manufacturers; we have some challenges ahead, but with our renewed investment in bright new people and some amazing new technology developments underway I truly believe we are at the start of a bright new beginning."

Three Japanese carmakers announced recalls, mostly in their home market and not on the same scale as recent moves by the likes of industry leader Toyota which heightened scrutiny of car safety.
Nissan Motor Co, Japan's third-biggest carmaker, said it would recall 76,415 cars across 10 models in Japan and 2,281 cars overseas due to a possible defect that may cause engine failure.
Separately, Suzuki Motor, Japan's No. 4 carmaker, said it would recall 432,366 units of two minicar models in Japan after two reported incidents of fire due to a possible defect in air conditioners.
Elsewhere, Daihatsu Motor said it would recall 60,774 units of four minicar models in Japan due to wiring problems that could trigger airbags to inflate accidentally. Minivehicles, with an engine size of 660cc, are only sold in Japan.
The recalls follow the recall of more than 8 million cars by Toyota Motor Corp.
Nissan, 44% owned by French carmaker Renault SA, said it found a connecting terminal between circuit cords in the engine had in some cases been damaged in the testing process before the cars were sold.
The damaged component could cause the engine to fail during driving, spokesman Toshitake Inoshita said.
There have been no reported accidents and the number of cars affected overseas is small as all the engines involved were produced at plants in Japan, Inoshita said. (Reuters)

My oldest son has been experimenting in the kitchen lately.
By that, I mean cooking. Not trying to destroy, take apart, or rebuild things in new and different ways. That was so last week for him. He has a fondness for hard boiled eggs, and he loves deviled eggs as well. However, he got bored with the old "tried and true" recipes that we have all come to know and love and decided to create some new ones.
What he came up with is fabulous!
He certainly has a flair for tastes and these new creations are no exception. Try them for your next family get together, bbq, or picnic and see if you don't agree!
That's The Way The Cookie Crumbles
Begin by scooping out the yolks and mixing with the sugar and cheese. Mix in one of the crushed oreos gently and pipe back into the whites. Top with the remained crushed oreos.
Mix the yolks with the sour cream and mustard. Mash 2 of the jalapeno slices and fold in. Pipe back into the whites and garnish with jalapeno slice half.
Not Quite a Baked Potato
Mix the sour cream with the yolks and add the salt. Add in 2 tsp. of the dried chives. Pipe back into the whites and top with remaining dried chives.

As crippling economic sanctions are poised to be lifted by the United States, Iran is starting to emerge from its isolation as a regional and, in a very limited sense, global Internet player. Iran continues to methodically build out its Internet infrastructure, working on its domestic connectivity (including IPv6), providing service to neighboring countries (such as Iraq and Afghanistan), stockpiling limited IPv4 address space, and providing a strategic terrestrial alternative to vulnerable submarine cables.
Recently, Iran began hosting a root DNS server, thereby potentially providing this critical service to the rest of the world. In this blog, we'll explore some of these latest developments and their challenges. In November, European Internet registrar RIPE will hold its regional operator meeting (MENOG) in Tehran, where attendees from around the world will learn firsthand about recent developments in the fast-growing Iranian Internet.
K-root Debuts in Iran
As most readers of this blog will know, when you access any resource on the Internet by name (e.g., www.cnn.com), your computer must first convert this name into an IP address (e.g., 188.8.131.52), which it then uses to gain access to the resource you've requested. The process of converting names to IP addresses relies on a distributed hierarchy of servers, each responsible for only a subset of names, with the root name servers at the top of this heap. The root servers tell you how to reach the top-level domains, like .com, .gov, or .uk, and from there you can work your way down the hierarchy to find what you want. This is why the root name servers are so important. They are the starting point for navigating the Internet. There are 13 root server IP addresses — each of which is known by a single letter (A through M) — and there are hundreds of instances of these servers, distributed throughout the world.
A few weeks ago, we noticed an instance of the K-root appearing in Iran, filling in an important geographic gap in root server coverage, as shown below.
The route to the K-root in Iran makes its way into the global routing table via the Telecommunications Infrastructure Company, TIC (formerly, DCI), the country's incumbent telecommunications provider. Although TIC attempts to limit propagation of this route (via prepending its AS four times in the corresponding BGP announcement), it is accepted by Omantel, one of TIC's international providers, and from there propagates out to the rest of the Internet. A routing-level map of Iran's Internet is shown below, highlighting the importance of TIC (AS48159 and AS12880, red ovals) to the country's connectivity.
Once Iran's K-root route makes it outside the country, it is free to be picked up (or not) by any service provider anywhere in the world — exactly as intended. We're seeing routes to Iran from major economies as diverse as India and the United States. In fact, two of India's major providers, Bharti Airtel (AS9498) and Tata Communications (AS4755), carry this route. The next two graphics illustrate the move from India and Russia to Tehran for K-root service from providers in Mumbai and Delhi, India, along with a considerable decrease in performance.
Unfortunately, along with the decrease in performance to the K-root in Iran, we're also observing an extremely high rate of failure to answer DNS queries, presumably due to congested international links or, perhaps, overloaded DNS root servers. We're not the first to observe DNS traffic leaving India for Iran, despite the existence of quite a few root nameservers in India, including the K root. That's just how Internet routing works sometimes — there should be no expectation of geographic locality for your Internet traffic. (In particular, there is considerable uncertainty around anycast routing. See our presentation here for more details.)
On the bright side, unlike the case when Chinese root nameservers were globally reachable, we see no evidence of Iranian censorship via poisoned DNS responses. When the K-root in Iran does respond, it faithfully provides the correct answers.
Western Connectivity into Iran
In perhaps the most surprising recent development, on 10 June 2015, we observed McLean, Virginia-based GTT Communications (GTT) initiating service into Iran via the Gulf Bridge International (GBI) cable. As shown below, GBI runs a submarine cable system linking up the Gulf region to Europe and Asia, and maintains a cable landing in the port city of Bushehr, Iran. In addition, GBI has publicly announced their partnership with GTT.

The next graphic illustrates the transit percentages for Iran's TIC (AS48159) over time, as computed by Dyn's IP Transit Intelligence product. The percentage of routes carried by GTT (AS3257) grows quickly after its introduction, at the expense of a number of its competitors. (This plot includes a normalized (upper) and absolute (lower) representation of the amount of routed address space announced through TIC's various international carriers over recent months.)
The following example trace illustrates the path from GTT into Iran via the GBI gateway. Routers on Iran's border are often unresponsive to trace probes and are indicated here at hops 14 — 18 with *'s.
Iran Buying and Selling IPv4 Address Space
As we've noted previously, Iran has been an active participant in the IPv4 transfer market, recently acquiring nearly two million addresses of this increasingly scarce commodity. (Iran has acquired nearly 800,000 IPv4 addresses since we first broke this story in April and it was covered by the Washington Post.) Iran is also an exporter, having transferred some of their address space to Syria, as shown on RIPE's IPv4 transfer page, a snippet of which is reproduced below.
None of this space was routed before being acquired by the Syrians, but is now originated by STE, Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (AS29256). Regardless of the penetration of IPv6 (still low by any objective standard), when most of the world's content and users remain exclusively on IPv4 and its very limited pool of available addresses, IPv4-rich nations will continue to have a decided advantage over those who are IPv4-poor.
While Iran is making all of the right strategic moves, it still has a long way to go to become much of a global or even regional player on the Internet. Despite being in an ideal central geographic location in the Middle East, Iran has few customers outside the country. And, as our K-root example illustrates, performance into the country remains quite poor, undoubtedly inhibiting the growth of Iran's Internet economy. Were it not for economic sanctions against the country, it would certainly be better-connected to the regional and global Internet.
But there is no magic to discovering Internet connectivity and performance issues and then fixing them. With a globally diversified sensor network, good tools and detailed analysis, anyone can explore the pathways and problems that Internet traffic encounters as it flows from place to place.

Dubbed 'the break from Shakespeare', the MAD museum in Stratford-upon-Avon celebrates kinetic art and automata in weird and wonderful ways. With over 60 extraordinary pieces on display, welcome to the MADhouse.
For an engineer, there can be nothing more satisfying than deciphering an intricate machine's parts. At the MAD (mechanical art and design) museum, the collection of kinetic art and automata gives a light-hearted, imaginative and playful twist to engineering precision and technology with sounds, movement and colour to stir the imagination.
1. The colourful 'Oval with Split and Floating Circles - Double Pink' and 'Twisted Yellow Cones' by David Press is made from cotton, bent wood and laminated wood. The lighting of the pieces is synchronised with music. Press describes the MAD museum as "exactly what a museum should be – thought-provoking, visually amazing and a place that attracts people of all ages. It is an international gem."
2. 'Patterns' by Dutch artist Jennifer Townley is based on the principle of a dual pendulum. Four beams are connected to each other by axles with bearings and they rotate, with a coloured LED installed on the end of each beam. The four-part pendulum leaves momentary patterns on the viewer's retina which are never repeated. The piece is made from wood, metal, an electric motor, mechanical parts and bright LEDs.
3. Kinetic artist David C Williams prefers traditional 'nut and bolt' technology, using Meccano to build the prototype of 'Down With Gravity'. Williams says: "The final Meccano maquette is transposed into copper tube for the 'chassis' and brass strip for the track. The skill is in accurate measurement and marking out of the brass prior to drilling and the bouncing is by calculation and trial and error."
4. Jennifer Townley's 'De Rode Draad' is made from wood, metal, an electric motor, mechanical parts and red thread. Twelve white gears drive each other and rotate at the same speed. Townley says the museum is a unique place that "displays great variation, from simple and playful objects to highly engineered art pieces. What makes exhibiting there so wonderful is that besides art lovers, lots of other people get in touch with your work. It is a very accessible place."
5. Another enigmatic piece by Jennifer Townley, 'Lift', is run by an electric motor and consists of sprocket-wheels connected by a long chain. The smaller sprockets have non-centred axes so their rotational speed constantly changes. "I had to build the piece in an experimental way, by trial and error," Townley said.
6. Townley's visually stunning 'Alahambra' is based on Islamic culture, with the arrow patterns intertwining and moving. The mechanical construction rotates the figures at varying speeds and directions, with new geometric patterns constantly appearing to the viewer.
7. John Morgan's 'Tempus Fugit' is a combination of art, woodwork and sculpture. He has been involved in kinetic sculpture for over 30 years and is a professor of graphic design at Auburn University, Alabama. 'Tempus Fugit' (which takes its name from the Latin for 'time flies') is made from poplar, brass and acrylic paint. Morgan says: "I have visited several automata museums and some hands-on science museums, but nothing compares to the variety offered by MAD. As an artist I am pleased to be included with some of my automata heroes."
8. German artist Willi Reiche likes to construct his machines from old-fashioned items that he has collected through the years and his work 'Hommage' (Tribute) is a great example of this. Reiche comments that his artistic experience over time has shown him that kinetic art "provides an excellent opportunity to engage with technology and engineering."

9. 'Mephisto', also by Willi Reiche, was exhibited when MAD museum first opened in 2009, which the artist regarded as a great honour. Reflecting on the distinguishing features of kinetic art, he comments: "A static sculpture occupies a given space in a particular manner. The space in and around the sculpture defines its presence. When we add movement to the equation, everything changes. The shape changes, the space around the shape changes and the relationship of the parts in a mechanical sense changes too."
10. The wacky and colourful 'Les Méchanismes de l'argent' (Money Mechanism) by Swiss artist Pascal Bettex has no kinetic pattern and is made from recycled materials. It is designed to boggle the mind with its random movements. Bettex discovered his passion for kinetic art at just 10 years old in 1963 when he visited a Jean Tinguely exhibition in Basel, and has been said to use his vivid imagination to pay homage to artists like Tinguely with his work. He enjoys restoring old machinery and explains: "My aim in creating kinetic sculptures, using ancient tools, machines or mechanisms, is to show our predecessors' skill and inventiveness about technology in a pleasant and unusual form."
11. This image is a close-up of a robust-looking piece by Garth Kennedy called 'Number Four'.Made from wood and metal, its main movements are based on a rocking beam engine. Kennedy says: "It is essentially a double stroke air compressor with external valves, driving a horizontal turbine on one stroke, with extending and retracting spokes. The other stroke blows two wooden whistles and there is a ratchet wheel with a bell, driven off the end of a crankshaft."
12.'Kick or Kiss' is an eye-catching piece by Willi Reiche, who says: "The parts are a collection of anachronistic items I have been accumulating over the years. The mechanics are partially empirical and they still remain comprehensible to the beholder. These antiquated parts which awaken remembrances and associations are easily recognisable."
13.'L'incomparable' (the unrivalled) by Pascal Bettex is based on an old machine that was used to wash bottles. Like 'Les Méchanismes de l'argent', this piece is made from recycled materials and metal.
14.Another image of Garth Kennedy's 'Number Four' showing the full extent of the structure. Kennedy says of the MAD museum: "I don't believe there is anywhere else like it. To be able to exhibit my work alongside others of similar ilk is a great joy. Kinetic or moving sculpture occupies a totally different place in the 'Arts'. There are no limits in terms of material, methods of construction, form and movement. The machine becomes art."
15.The symmetrical appearance of David C Williams' 'Signum Detector' is all down to his precise calculations and ensuring his execution and construction is ruled by geometrics. Williams comments: "Many people today are unaware of mechanical principles, as mechanics in general has been surpassed by electronics, or machines are shrouded from view."
16. Pascal Bettex's 'Le Picoreur' (the pecking bird) is a beautiful piece made from recycled materials, moving forwards and backwards to mimic a bird feeding or pecking. It is based on an angle bend from a ventilation shaft. Bettex said: "The two counterweights turn at different speeds, so that the bird rocks from time to time."
17. Another image of Willi Reiche's 'Mephisto'. Reiche says the MAD Museum "offers a quality experience besides the tourist attractions relating to Shakespeare."

Like so many things in life, politics is about narrative. About which organization, or candidate, or policy offers the most compelling story. As I see it, the labor movement is trapped inside three tiresome story lines.
There's the sentimental favorite, which many activists (including me) like to tell ourselves: Unions are the folks who brought you the weekend. Organized labor enabled working people to rise from the exploitive depths of the Depression, to beat back the worst ravages of unbridled corporate greed.
There's also the story we hate: Union bosses are corrupt. This is the tale of venal titans who use their near-absolute power to coerce innocent executives and to steal lots of money.
Then there's the third story: Unions are the defenders of inefficiency and the enemies of economic progress. This one includes many stereotypes, from the union carpenter who won't cross jurisdictional lines to screw in a light bulb, to the autoworker whose paycheck nearly wrecked the industry, to the villain du jour: the incompetent schoolteacher who can't be fired.
There is a smidgen of truth to each story. Well, more than a smidgen in the first instance; if unions didn't actually create the middle class, they certainly gave it an enormous boost. But there have also been crooked union leaders -- a fact not diminished by the existence of corporate thieves. And many unions have indeed been slow to adapt to the tectonic shifts in capital and labor markets.
But none of these narratives inspires people to join the labor movement or makes a compelling case that what we do matters at this point in history.
There are tens of thousands of union activists around the country who are doing vital work, empowering millions of Americans to build better lives. And many unions are doing a great job getting these stories out to the public -- presenting real portraits of what working Americans do day to day, and how collective action protects them on the job and helps them provide for their families. What is missing, perhaps, is an overarching narrative that would help convey why unions are not simply a "special interest," but are instead (or, rather, should be) central to the American project.
Let's think about what people want and need, and what moves them. It's not tales of faded glory or heroic defeat. It's about possibility and hope. It's about building the future, not trying to hold ground that cannot be defended.
Beyond these broad rhetorical themes, however, I'm not sure we in the labor movement have entirely figured out how to be essential to the forward progress of the American people. We are so busy fighting battles -- mostly defensive ones -- that it is sometimes difficult to think more deeply about the bigger... well, I was going to say "war," but I'm not sure a war story is what we're after.
We need to think through how a movement of organized working people can be relevant in the age of the digital community. Our union -- the Writers Guild of America, East, AFL-CIO -- has a Facebook page and a Twitter account, and our electronic activism project is a real success. But just getting people to hit the "Like" button or to send a boilerplate email to their representatives in Congress isn't enough to build and sustain an organization with the power to effect change in people's work lives. From an activist perspective, the most successful online communities are the ones that inspire offline action (such as Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring).
We also need to think about how to organize in the age of the moveable workplace. There are still a lot of factories and hotels and hospitals with relatively stable workforces, but no longer does anyone expect to work for the same company from high school through retirement. Globalization exerts enormous pressure on employers to restructure operations and to relocate production, and technology makes it easier than ever to do these things. I'm not suggesting that we celebrate these developments unequivocally, but we can't pretend they're not real.
So the labor movement's story needs to be meaningful in the world of swift digital communication and contingent work arrangements. It cannot be based on the premise that most people work for large employers that are sufficiently rooted in American soil to remain committed to American workers. Labor's story must inspire people to organize in ways that can have concrete effects on how they work, on how employment is integrated into their lives. In my view, it should go beyond wage issues and offer members a sense of community, of professional identity. This is what entertainment unions like the WGAE offer, and there is no reason why other unions cannot also be places for people to come together with others who face similar workplace and work-life issues, to share experiences and learn skills, to get smarter about what is happening in their industries, to educate one another about how to stay ahead of the curve.
If we start to describe unions as a force not only to resist corporate power, but also to enhance people's work lives, this will resonate. Perhaps it will inspire people to think beyond the old stories and to think of the labor movement as something to join, and not mourn.

100 International And Indian Internet sites To Shop Clothes And AccessoriesPosted in: Shopping Online Sites
Well if you visit the neighborhood shop you would initial have to dress yourself up and go to the store and appear for a parking spot, which could be a genuine pain at occasions. Australia's very best on the internet women's and men's fashion and footwear store with the designer brands, (as seen on Tv) that are on trend. On leading of their click to donate program, you can support even more by signing petitions to cease funds from being cut from health-related applications, sending e-card challenges to your pals, or buying from the Breast Cancer Internet site retailer. Now, I know that there are cash involved, but for every day, usual purchasing that we do anyway. We discussed in our previous post, what are the concerns in on the internet buying and ideas for secure on-line shopping.
In contrast to past, current improvements in on the internet payment strategies and Payza like Bangladeshi players have created e-transactions quite straightforward and safe for Web shopping fans in Bangladesh. You can effortlessly get your preferred trousers from on-line websites according to the put on in the diverse occasions and formal purposes. Ezoneonlinein is the exclusive electronics ecommerce portal from Future Group and is the on the internet extension of its brick n mortar shops present across India in Malls, Higher Streets and inside other group format stores like Property Town, Central and Pantaloons.
I have also received at least ten times the written evaluations on AO3 as soon after being warned by users of both sites that AO3 readers do not overview. Google has a excellent amount of freedom when it comes to purchasing – how to acquire, where to store, the list goes on and it keeps developing. This will be quite useful, I have been considering Etsy, this list offers some options. Parents spend far more of their spending budget on the web in comparison to non-parents (40% vs. 34%) and devote 75% a lot more time on-line buying each week (7 hours vs. 4 hours for non-parents).
Fantastic list of retailers there are fairly a few I had never ever even heard of. Of they sell anything spooky the they're cool with me, I would celebrate Halloween year round if I had my way. I didn't recognize there have been so a lot of web sites for selling handmade creations on the Internet. Not Mass Created gives an immediate online retailer for sellers, selling handmade products from small producers, providing an alternative to imported mass-created products. One particular notion would be to collaborate with a non-profit organization in your area so that when you begin up your clothes swap you can inform every person that joins as a member that 50%, 30% or whichever amount you select will go to charity.
Not to mention, I miss this web site for their genuinely fun, designer garments and accessories. Based on report from the Ministry, the on the internet company volume will improve to RM5 billion or US$1.61 billion in …

BEIJING, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Passenger vehicle sales in China to retail customers rose 5.8 percent in August from a year earlier, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said on Friday.
Retail sales totalled 1.90 million vehicles in August, according to data posted on the CPCA website. For the first eight months of the year, passenger car sales rose 1.2 percent compared with the same period a year ago.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, whose statistics are generally viewed as the benchmark for the industry, is due to report wholesale data for August on Tuesday.

It has been a little quiet on the PgUS front of late but that doesn't mean work isn't happening. We have a new feature on the website that allows anyone to view resolutions that have been brought before the board. You can view those that have passed, failed or all at once. We have also received back what we hope is the last revision of the bylaws from our attorney. Lastly we have also determined our initial member benefits and dues.
During a truncated version of the talk I gave at PDXPGDay about PgUS it was brought to our attention that we don't ask for donations or membership dues yet. That is correct! We don't. The reason is that we want to have all of our legal structure in place and the foundation for the corporation solid before we start taking money. Rest assured, we will be requesting those donations soon!
During the talk I touched on something the board is working on, grants. By being a paying member of PgUS you will have the ability to apply for grants. Some of these grants will likely be predefined (maybe complete X PostgreSQL TODO for Y dollars). Other grants will be able to be applied for in a more general manner, e.g; "I would like to develop this widget for PostgreSQL" or "I would like to write a HOWTO covering X topic on PostgreSQL". There will be a simple but formal application process and key benefits will have to be explained but I think this is likely to be one of the more interesting possibilities of being a member of PgUS.

Yet another indication of the falsity of the oft-repeated claim that jihad is waged, that caliphate is desired, by only a 'tinyminorityofextremists' who have, of course, 'nothingtodowithIslam".
As reported by Iffah Nur Arifah and Erwin Renaldi, for Australia's ABC, just the other day, on the basis of the contents of a report by Indonesia's State Intelligence Agency. The not-quite-so-sharia-observant Muslims currently on top of the pile in Indonesia fully intend to remain on top of the pile, so they keep a weather eye on the more zealous and pious sharia-pushers who, of course, intend to be on top of the pile, themselves.
"40 Percent of Indonesian University Students Targeted by Radical Religious Ideology, Report Says".
Translation: Muslim Revivalists Promote Islam Pur et Dur to Indonesian University Students", or, "Indonesian University Students Encouraged to Embrace Classical Islam". - CM
"Indonesian Universities are being targeted by conservative religious ideology (sic: 'by sharia-pushing revivalist Muslims" - CM) across the country, according to the latest report by Indonesia's State Intelligence Agency.
'Last month, Indonesian national intelligence chief Budi Gunawan said in a lecture that 39 percent of university students in Indonesia had been exposed to radical groups.
Or, rather, one might say, that "at least 39 percent of university students in Indonesia have been urged to take Islam fully to heart." They are being encouraged to become devout sunnah-compliant Muslims; to abandon the syncretism that has in some parts of Indonesia, for some brief portions of itshistory, somewhat diluted or modified the full ferocity of Islam, Islam, Islam. - CM
"The campus environment has become the target of radical groups trying to mobilise new terrorists", Mr Gunawan said.
In other words, the Islamic revival is powering ahead on Indonesian university campuses. Note to western apologists for Islam; jihad is not merely waged by ignorant and illiterate hicks from the sticks. The most dangerous jihadis of all are those who, though superficially westernised - smiling, besuited, impeccably-made-up if female, quite probably speaking perfect English or perfect French, and with an advanced degree in biology, chemistry, law, economics, engineering or medicine under their belts - are (behind their smiling masks and soft voices) full to the brim with Quranically-orthodox hatred for and aggression toward the dirty kuffar, 'the worst of beasts'. - CM
'Mr Gunawan said that 15 Indonesian provinces (that is: 15 out of 34, nearly half of the total - CM) were classified as high-risk areas, and they were now closely monitoring three Indonesian universities.
Memo to Australian universities: find out the names of those 15 provinces and those three universities. Do not engage in "academic relations" with those three Universities, nor accept obviously-Muslim students from any of those 15 provinces. - CM
"The intelligence report also finds that 24 percent of University students and 23.3 percent of high-school students in Indonesia are in favour of supporting jihad to establish an Islamic "caliphate"."
That should probably be "at least 24 percent..." and "at least 23.3 percent..". That's the percentage that were either readily visible and/ or willing to admit, on a survey form or to an interviewer, what their attitudes, beliefs and intentions actually were. - CM
"The findings have been supported by previous research by other institutions in the country.
"The Wahid Foundation, founded by former Indonesian president and Muslim scholar K H Abdurrahman Wahid, did a study on radicalisation (sic: recruitment for active military jihad - CM) in 2017.
"It found that nearly 60 percent of high-school students who were taking part in extracurricular activities in Islamic studies (and what proportion of high school students, across Indonesia, engage in such activities? - CM) said they were ready to be part of Jihad even if violence was involved.
Historically and theologically, Jihad is and always has been primarily violent, though "non-violent" methods - such as bribery and corruption, and multifarious types of deceit, infiltration and subversion - have always been used in conjunction with violence, or on their own if open violence were deemed likely to prove ineffective. Sam Solomon's book "Al Hijra" is very instructive on this topic, as also Patrick Sookhdeo's "Islam in Britain". - CM
'Radicals seek young people to spread ideology'.
That is: Muslim revivalists are recruiting young Muslims to engage in dawa and jihad so as to expand the empire of islam. - CM
'Bonar Tigor Naipospos, deputy director of the SETARA Institute for Democracy and Peace, said the findings emphasised how vulnerable students in Indonesia were to radicalism.
Rather - "..how easy it is for someone raised Muslim to heed the call to take Islam - and the prime directive of Islam, Jihad to establish a global sharia despotism - fully to heart!" - CM
"Indonesia is experiencing demographic bonuses [the opposite of an ageing population] where the largest group of the population is between 16 to 35 years old", Mr Naipospos told the ABC.
"The radical groups (sic: the Muslim revivalists - CM) consider young people as a potential group who can spread radical ideology (sic: orthodox Islam - CM) for them in the long run."
18 to 35 ... the young men are old enough to fight, the young women can engage in the overbreeding that Islam has always promoted for the purpose of demographically overwhelming the non-Muslims - CM
'He added that higher-education institutions should be more proactive in examining whether there were activities that led to radical behaviour.
'Radical behaviour'... Acts of violence intended to topple the current lot of deemed-insufficiently-Islamic rulers and replace them with rulers deemed more purely Islamic, and go Full Sharia... A course of action that the current rulers - though perfectly content, being Muslim, to judiciously suppress and exploit non-Muslims within Indonesia, notably in West Papua where a classic hijra to bring about subjugation and Islamisation of its historically non-Malay and non-Muslim population is proceeding rapidly and brutally alongside wholesale Indonesian-Malay-Muslim plundering of that province's resources - are leery of, because it would mean that they would lose power. - CM
'For example, they could monitor student forums, and pay attention to flyers distributed on campuses', he said.
Do ASIO and the AFP in Australia, do the intelligence arms or even just the local cops of any number of western countries where there are, now, large and expanding Muslim colonies, and a very large and visible presence of Muslims - whether possessing infidel-country citizenship, or as "foreign students" holding student visas - on university campuses and in high schools, usually attended by Islamic 'chaplains', with 'prayer rooms', and with large and active "Islamic Societies" under various anodyne titles, do anything of this sort? Do they monitor the Muslim student forums, pay attention to the level and types of "campus dawa" engaged in both among the Muslims and toward non-Muslim students, or keep an eye on the meetings and activities of those assorted Muslim student associations, and the speakers that they invite to their meetings? For if Muslim Indonesia deems it necessary to do so, within Indonesia, surely non-Muslim countries should be doing it as well.. and with even greater vigilance. - CM
'Muhammad Fatih Akmal, a student of the Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University in Jakarta, said that he knew that some of his fellow students had extreme thinking.
Extreme? He's fudging. I bet he knows damn well that the thinking of these sharia-pushing jihad-minded fellow students of his, those who dream of the global caliphate, is perfectly, impeccably orthodox; that it is .. Islam. Nothing but Islam, exactly as set out in the founding texts and the example of Mohammed. - CM
"There was a lecture about interpreting the Koran by western methods, but they rejected attending the class", he said.
They were more honest, in that, than the likes of himself... - CM
"For them, the Koran should only be interpreted and explained by Middle Eastern scholars".
That is: by Arab Muslims. Because Islam - see V S Naipaul, "Among the Believers" and "Beyond Belief", see Anwar Sheikh - is a vehicle of Arab imperialism, imposing upon the conquered and converted peoples a very particular - and lethally destructive, lethally antihuman - version of 'being-Arab'. - CM
'He said that the same students were also attending forums held by Hizb ut Tahrir Indonesia, which is now considered an extremist organisation, and had its legal status revoked by the Government".
If the superficially-secularised Muslims who currently dominate and rule Indonesia consider Hizb ut Tahrir dangerous - dangerous to their continued hold on power - and have declared it illegal, should not non-Muslim countries, like Australia, view Hizb ut Tahrir as dangerous also, and declare it illegal, and take all due steps to remove it and its identifiable operatives from their soil? But banning and removing - expelling - Hizb ut Tahrir from the 'dar al harb' would - and should - be only one small step toward eventual recognition of a larger and much more unpleasant reality - that it is not just the Hizb ut Tahrirs, the Tablighi Jamaats, the Al Qaedas or the Boko Harams or the Hezbollahs or the Hamas that are dangerous, it is ... the whole of the Ummah, that sheltering, nurturing sea from which all such bodies naturally and inevitably arise. Got Muslims? Got Mosques? ... Got Jihad. - CM

Processing optimism levels....
One writer wrote the Blade Runner screenplay, and two movies best forgotten.
The other wrote a bunch of shit tv and a few things that no one's seen yet.
Villeneuve is great with visuals, good with ideas and so-so with narrative.
Harrison Ford might phone it in, and Ryan Gosling stars as Ryan Gosling.
Synth wave might be constantly jarring, or fit perfectly.
Optimism level: 4/10, would watch reluctantly.
BR is basically my all-time favorite movie. So, from that biased standpoint, I was pretty critical of any attempt to make a sequel, even if it did have involvement of original crew/cast and such. That said, I have a lot more confidence in this film now than I did before now that the people involved seem to actually be pretty well picked and Ridley Scott supposedly was very hands on with this production. They ditched the embryonic idea of trying to adapt the terrible KW Jeter "Sequel" novels pretty early on, and that was a positive step, and when I read about the efforts they were making at writing a good enough script to attract the right people, I figured maybe it was in earnest. I think it's a mistake to put Ford in the marketing right up front because it's pretty obvious he's not really going to be in the movie much. (production reports say his entire time on-set was something like 3 or 4 days to film only a few minor scenes) But, I'm fairly optimistic it will be pretty cool.
That guy
May you be right. If I could boil down my concerns into one, it would be that Villeneuve will not notice the multiple weaknesses in the writers' script, because he'll have a visual idea about those unrecognized weaknesses that excites him.
it has a higher chance of succeeding than the showrunner of Mr. Robot remaking Metropolis...

fucking yikes
I'd rather them not make it at all, but at least they've got about as good a set of names to make it as any.
Oscar Wildcat
I understood that the only reason the first one wasn't a cool looking piece of shit ( like most scifi movies ) is because Phil was brought in at the last minute to doctor the screenplay. I don't doubt it.
Well, the best part is that even if it's terrible, it takes nothing away from the original at least it seems like an honest try rather than some boardroom/Hollywood driven thing of putting it in the hands of Zach Snyder or some shit and turning into a Transformers movie with replicants or something.
That guy
Yeah, true. It's not Bad Robot, or a shitty director. Glass is half-full. Adjusting optimism levels.
infinite zest
My optimism is set pretty high, but I'm just going with the fact that Sicario was one of the best films I've seen in a long time, and I've seen a lot of movies. So.. mr. director, just do what you did there and you'll be fine.
The director...haven't seen Sicario yet, but I wanted to like Arrival more than I actually liked it. Good to see a sci-fi movie that didn't cram in pointless action sequences or over the top sentimental shit like Interstellar but...the premise was silly and in the end it was little more than a less disappointing version of Contact.
The producer...last time Ridley Scott was hands on with a revival of his old franchise, we got Prometheus.
The writers...this is what matters. We have Fancher, who hasn't done a single thing before or since the original Bladerunner, and how much of that movie's greatness can be credited to the writing? Didn't someone else come in and polish the script?
Then there's Michael Green. Holy fucking shit. Everwood, Heroes, Smallville, Green Lantern, and SEX IN THE CITY??? They're putting Bladerunner into the hands of the Green Lantern and WB showrunner guy? Dear god.
That guy
yeah Nom, that writer was part of my original pessimism

The original is like the film equivalent of a demo-scene demo.

At a panel discussion on Saturday for the Sundance Film Festival, founder Robert Redford commented on the social and political roles of film in the world today. "I don't know how much films actually impact social movements," he said. But it's definitely worth at least trying to make a statement, he added; "It's not only possible but actually exciting to entertain and inform at the same time." Producer Jeff Skoll feels the same way, having developed campaigns for "North Country", "Syriana", and "Good Night, And Good Luck", each of which was about a related social issue. Sean P. Means reports for the Salt Lake Tribune.

Perennial Ryegrass is commonly used in overseeding applications because it germinates quickly and provides a good groundcover while slower germinating bluegrasses begin to sprout. It is often used in the south to keep a lawns looking green after the warm season grasses have gone dormant in the cool weather. Perennial Ryegrass is best suited for the northern regions, as this grass type is not well suited for the more extreme summer heat.
Perennial Ryegrass Planting and Maintenance
Perennial Ryegrass grows rapidly in the spring and may require mowing at frequent intervals, sometime as short as 3 days depending upon desired mowing height. Since perennial ryegrass is most often used in a blend, it will generally be mowed in accordance with the dominant grass of the blend, generally Kentucky Bluegrass.
Perennial Ryegrass is one the least drought tolerant species, and may require very frequent watering, especially in the south. In golf course applications, it is not uncommon for this grass type to be watered daily.
Perennial Ryegrass is planted with seed, and is usually part of blend. In the transition zone, it can be used as a standalone variety. It is commonly used in the southern regions to provide a longer lasting green color after the warm season grasses have gone dormant.

E-coat Market to Enjoy Government Support owing to Compliance to Environmental Regulations
Superior performance, cost effectiveness, and compliance to environmental regulations are some of the factors behind the growing popularity of e-coat or electro-coat. The global e-coat market is also benefitting from the growth of various end user industries such as automotive, electronic items, and home appliances.
As per a report published by Transparency Market Research suggests that the global e-coat market will witness a healthy growth in the period from 2016 to 2024, on account of a surge in the development of commercial apartments, residential buildings, educational institutes, and other building, which is creating a need for decorative coatings.
Given below are some of the important questions answered by TMR analysts, with regards to the global e-coat market:
What are the key factors pushing the e-coat market towards growth?
The growing population across the globe is resulting in an increased demand for transportation, which in turn is fueling the demand for e-coat. There is also a heightened demand for public transportation facilities such as bus, train, and others, which is driving the global e-coat market. The increasing demand of electronic gadgets such as mobiles, laptops, computers, and other accessories is also creating a need for e-coat, boosting the market. A large number of consumers are spending extensively on sports equipment, which is also increasing the demand for e-coat. In addition to this, the pressure created by regulatory bodies to make use of coatings that emit low volatile organic compounds is encouraging the growth of this industry. Moreover, conventional coatings make use of solvents that are costly, which is driving more and more industries to make use of e-coat.
Browse Market Research Report @ http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/e-coat-market.html
What are the recent developments in the global e-coat market?
The increasing popularity of nanoparticles in the paint and coating industry has resulted in a positive outlook for the global e-coat market. Nanoparticles make paints more scratch and corrosion resistant and this is why they are now being adopted in e-coat, imparting features such as resistance to mechanical deformation, uniform coating thickness, compatibility with other products, complete paint coverage, high chemical resistance, ease of application on various substrates, and aesthetic finishing.
Which region is anticipated to be a lucrative market for e-coat in the future?
Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold lucrative opportunities in the e-coat market in the coming years, with countries such as Japan, South Korea, India, and China leading in terms of contribution to the revenues. This is because passenger cars are highly in demand in these countries, which in turn is boosting the growth of the e-coat market. In addition to this, the growth in the infrastructure, construction, and building industries is creating a favorable market opportunity for e-coat. Moreover, the automotive sector is flourishing on account of high demand for automobiles by the growing population in the region. A rise in the disposable income is also favoring the growth of the automotive industry, which is positively impacting the e-coat market in Asia Pacific.

Members of Gen X and Y have less allegiance to their investment providers than previous generations, according to a new report from independent financial technology provider Scivantage and research and advisory firm Aite Group.
The study, The Race for Next-Generation Assets: Can Banks Maintain Their Lead?, tracked the investing preferences of younger generations and the impact they may have on long-term growth potential for wealth management firms.
"Gen-Xers and Gen-Yers have been far less loyal to their investment providers over the last few years compared to Boomer and Silent Generation investors, indicating that young consumers have yet to find their ideal investment providers," said Sophie Schmitt, Aite group senior analyst of wealth management, in a statement. "Banks seeking to maximize their ability to retain and grow share of wallet with young investors should work on growing their online investing capabilities and providing more convenient services."
With $40 trillion expected to transition to younger U.S. generations over the next several years, the report emphasized that demographic's need for convenient online tools.
Other key findings of the report include:
• 40 percent of young investors still consider a bank to be their primary investment provider. Only 20 percent of young investors consider an online brokerage firm to be their primary investment provider despite their strong adoption of online trading
• 44 percent of Gen X and Gen Y investors shifted assets to another investment firm or switched investment providers due to availability of online tools
• 42 percent of Gen X and Gen Y respondents said their bank would need to offer more convenient services and/or more robust online brokerage/trading capabilities in order for them to move more assets to their bank
• About 30 percent of young investors trade more than 25 times per year and slightly less than 70 percent trade online more than five times per year
• The No. 1 reason clients shift investments to another firm is fees (those tied to accounts, financial advisory and asset management)
"Online investing capabilities are now second nature to Gen X and Gen Y investors and will be a requirement for banks that want to attract future high-net-worth or current affluent members of this segment," stated Chris Psaltos, Scivantage's vice president of product management. "As younger, tech-savvy investors look for greater control of the investment decision-making process, wealth management firms, particularly banks, must ensure that their online investment platforms are keeping pace with the latest consumer technology innovations."
The December 2011 survey polled more than 1,000 U.S. investors who hold a minimum of $25,000 in investable assets and have access to online trading capabilities.
