The presence of Wits University Vice Chancellor Prof. Adam Habib has angered a lot of students in at Wits Peace Accord meeting at the Holy Trinity Church near main campus in Braamfontein.
According to EWN reporter Thando Kubheka, students were screaming and shouting demanding Habib to leave the meeting.
The meeting includes former general secretary of Cosatu Jay Naidoo, former National Assembly Speaker Max Sisulu and CEO of the Nelson Mandela Foundation Sello Hatang.
It's a very important meeting to try and find peace and stability at Wits University.— Thando Kubheka, EWN reporter

When archeologists uncover the remnants of 21st century San Francisco, they may also discover a strange, miracle substance -- little blobs, once soft, turned hard. Maybe the same blobs that Eileen Tan at the Singapore Malaysian Restaurant missed today.
"It's the public that does it, and we have no control of that," says Tan.
She works in a family restaurant, but spent time cleaning gum Thursday in response to a love note from San Francisco's Department of Public Works. Last week, an officer served notice to all the merchants on the block -- clean up your gummy sidewalks within seven days or pay a possible $300 fine.
"We're running a restaurant here. We're not professional street cleaners," says Tan.
The Department of Public Works actually has a name for this program. They call it an eco-blitz. They insist that they are not singling out Clement Street.
"I haven't seen the exact sidewalk, but the number of gum per square foot could be enormous," says Mohammed Nuru runs operations for the Department of Public Works, which has a few errant pieces of gum in front of its building, as well.
"We actually have a schedule. These are scheduled events," says Nuru.
The Department of Public Works eco-bitized three neighborhoods Thursday, including 24th Street near Potrero. The city has targeted some 200 blocks for the clean-up program which reminds business owners that they are responsible for keeping their sidewalks clean.
"The city has a responsibility to educate and inform people of what their responsibilities are," says Nuru.
"Education to me is teaching. This is more of demanding," says Tan.
Or maybe it is just a misunderstanding. Officers have issued 70 warnings and 10 citations, so far, but none of those have been for gum.

Re: Who will they Destroy Next?
Let me tell you something. I am sick to death of CHILDREN being punished unmericfully and put through the court system; charged horrendous fines for one little act of junvenile behavior!!
I'm tired of it.
Once they have these kids in the system, it is difficult to get out.
like I said, I'm tired of this POLICE STATE!!!
Let kids be kids! I agree some children commit awful acts and should be punished accordingly; but I'm talking about "stepping out of line" which might involve disobedience in school of a minor act and the police being summoned!
Oh, the Zionist Jews!!
I have one thing to say on that subject. Those Jews who are opposed to Zionism ought to take off their attire, spend some time away from the Temple, open their eyes and oppose it openly. Stop worshipping the state of Israel. You are all prisioners there; controlled by the Zionists.
You live in a state that sponsors terrorism against you. A state that provokes terrorism in the region.
you are so completely and totally "brainwashed" to your religion that you are BLIND!!!!
The police are out of control!!

If humans are to live in space, a supply craft is needed
Almost as long as space stations have existed, there has been a need to resupply them. The Russian Progress spacecraft was the first developed for the sole-purpose of topping off food, water and fuel supplies for outposts off-world.
The design was derived from the Soyuz and it is launched on a Soyuz rocket. It is not reusable and it does not come back down to Earth safely; it burns up in the atmosphere after use.
Over 150 Progress missions have resupplied stations such as Salyut 6, Mir and the International Space Station.
The Progress design has been upgraded over the decades to be able to send more cargo up and weigh less for launch. On occasion, special variants have been used to send small modules up to space stations, such as the two docking ports currently on the ISS called Pirs and Poisk.
— Specifications —
Country: Russia
Operator: Roscosmos
Max. cargo: 2,350 kg
Return payload: None
Reusable: No
Launch site: Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan
Launch vehicle: Soyuz 2.1a
Design life: Up to six months at station
Status: Active
Quick facts
First flight: Progress 1 - Jan. 20, 1978
Number flown: 150+
Failures: 3 - Progress M-12M, Progress M-27M, Progress MS-04
Stations serviced: Salyut 6, Salyut 7, Mir and the International Space Station
Progress MS: 2015-present
Progress M-M: 2008-2016
Progress M-MIM2: 2009
Progress M-SO1: 2001
Progress M1: 2000-2004
Progress M: 1989-2009
Progress 7K-TG: 1978-1990
— Sections —
Cargo Module
Width: 2.2 m
Max. Cargo: 1,700 kg
Cargo volume: 6 m³
Like the Soyuz, the front of the spacecraft carries the equipment needed for rendezvous and docking. It also holds the pressurized cargo, including experiments, supplies and even fresh fruit.
The crew enters Progress through the forward hatch. The docking drogue, similar to Soyuz, also has ducting for fuel and oxidizer to be transferred to the International Space Station.
In special versions that carried the Pirs and Poisk modules to the space station, the Cargo and Refueling modules were replaced with the module.
Refueling Module
Width: 2.2 m
Max. Fuel: 1,740 kg
Tanks: 2 oxygen, 2 fuel and 2 water
Instead of a Descent Module, the Progress saves weight by eliminating all recovery items, including heat shields and parachutes. As thus, the spacecraft does not return to Earth intact. Instead it is guided into a destructive reentry over the Pacific Ocean.
This section carries six tanks: two for fuel, two for oxygen and two for water. The propellant in this module can be transferred to the space station, or be used to help boost the outposts orbit.
Propulsion Module
Mass: 2,600 kg
Width: 2.7 m
Width (w/ solar): 10.6 m
The propulsion module, similar to the Soyuz, is used for station re-boosting. It is also used to deorbit the spacecraft after it is no longer needed. Though, upon reentry the sections do not separate like the Soyuz.
Like Soyuz, this section contains fuel needed for rendezvousing and deorbiting. It also contains instruments for temperature control and equipment for long-range radio communications, power and telemetry.
Connected to the sides of the module are two solar panels. They are folded up prior to launch and extended upon reaching orbit. They provide power to the craft for the duration of the flight.
At the bottom of the module is the main engine, called SKD, that is used for maneuvering in orbit and to conduct the deorbit burn.
— Record —
All Progress flights, except three, have reached their destination.
On August 24, 2011, the Soyuz rocket carrying Progress M-12M failed to reach orbit due to an early cut-out of the boosters third stage. Additionally, Progress M-27M lost control and ran out of fuel after the a collision between it and the third stage of its booster rocket in May 2015.
More recently, Progress MS-04 failed to reach orbit. This was due to the third stage engine of the Soyuz launcher shutting down early, similar to the aforementioned Progress M-12M flight.
While it has an unparalleled safety record, one spacecraft collided with Mir in 1997 resulting in one of the modules to depressurize. The crew quickly sealed off that module.

Our member clubs will elect/reelect two Board positions in 2017. Our clubs will vote for two At-Large board member positions. As an organization we actively encourage people to put themselves forward for election, and are seeking people that have a willingness to serve the LGBTQ tennis community. We require our Board members to be "workers" and not seek a position for other reasons. There is no remuneration, no free entries to tournaments or travel expenses to attend tournaments. We do provide limited travel expenses to attend 2 mandatory Board meetings each year.
Each GLTA Board member has a variety of responsibilities that include serving as a liaison for a number of GLTA sanctioned tournaments to ensure compliance with GLTA sanctioning requirements. Also, additional specific tasks e.g. for the Secretary- work involves approximately 25+ hours of volunteer work each week. Our Rankings Chair processes all of the player files for each tournament ; a very time consuming role within the GLTA. Other board responsibilities include responding to players and other organization enquiries. Our President will respond to 100's + emails a month in addition to their other duties. Our Web and Facebook communication teams are critical key members of our Board, and require extensive hours of work each week. If you have any questions regarding the responsibilities, please do not hesitate to contact one of our current Board members.
We have selected a non-GLTA Board member to monitor the self-nomination process, and we will select an additional non-GLTA Board member to monitor the voting. If you are interested in running for a position on the Board, please send an email of interest to Tim Ross - Co-Director of the Detroit tournament at email@example.com. You will be required to complete and submit a short manifesto. We will accept self-nominations until midnight EST on October 31, 2017 Each GLTA sanctioned club has one vote, and the club vote should reflect the views of their entire local membership. Our member clubs will vote from November 2, 2017 to November 16, 2017 (ballots are due by 11:59 pm EST) and the 2018 GLTA Executive Board of Directors will be announced shortly after the November 16th deadline.

You Had Me At Hello: 150 Contemporary Artworks That Altered My Consciousness - Part 2
I look at a lot of art. Some of it good, some of it bad. Every once in a while, I come across artwork that fundamentally changes me, even if I don't understand it at the time. A friend of mine recently asked me which works had had the greatest impact on me over the years, so I compiled my thoughts. This is not a greatest hits list and many artists I love are not included in it. These are all works that have been, for whatever reason, seared into my brain. To be honest, there are a number of artists on this list whose overall practice I am not a particular fan of, yet, they got to me at least once. – Steven Zevitas, Publisher

PDX Road Trip: New Work from Ellen Lesperance, Jessica Jackson Hutchins and Wes Mills
Driving to Portland from Seattle is such an easy thing to do, most of the time I find myself there on a whim, without any concrete plans, experiencing the city in a choose-your-own-adventure style, with one experience leading into the next. When I arrived in such circumstances again last week, I ended up happening upon a survey of some of the city's stalwart artists. While the PORTLAND2014 biennial organized by Disjecta in a selection of discreet art venues across the city helped ensure a steady selection of shows, straying off the biennial track at times also yielded the most resonant works, with exhibitions by seasoned Portland artists Ellen Lesperance (NAP #97), Jessica Jackson Hutchins and Wes Mills representing some of the most exciting pursuits at the moment and reinforcing these artists' positions as some of the city's strongest voices. – Erin Langner, Seattle contributor

I don't care what the climate scientists and meteorologists gathering in Halifax this week say: The way I see it, winter is always hard.
And since Wednesday's weather awoke long-dormant memories of the sun's warmth, I parked my car in a downtown lot and legged it toward Halifax's harbour where, for the moment at least, summer was already underway.
I have to tell you that, on a workday morning, it can give a person a subversive, cheating-the-system thrill to walk along the harbourfront, among the booths dispensing lobster rolls and poutine, past the skinny, bespectacled dude rat-tat-tatting the skins like Big Sid Catlett, beyond the tall ship and the old hydrographic surveying vessel, through the maze of tourists eyeballing the displays about the great Explosion and the decimation of Africville.
I know for a fact that there are differing opinions on the $200-million Queen's Marque development which, in these very pages, people have called "a blight on the waterfront" even though the Waterfront Development Corp., which has granted the Armour group a 99-year-lease on the location, declares it a "defining project for Halifax."
But anyone can see that without the floating "sea bridge" undulating in the harbour, pedestrians would have to walk around the construction site, which is bad for nearby businesses and cheats visitors of the view from a prime waterfront locale.
The bridge, I know from what I've read, is half a kilometre long. By year's end a million or so visitors are expected to have made their way along it.
Lots of them were there on Wednesday: the man emitting little whoops, and his female companion letting out a "whew" as the ferry's wake made the wooden walkway roll.
The natty guy in his 20s gently mocking the grey-haired gent beside him about his "sea legs" and the young woman telling her friend, suddenly as wobbly as if she'd downed a tray of grog at the Lower Deck, "you can just grab onto something" when the bridge spasmed again.
I'm no salty sailor, but I've stood enough times on boat decks and on floating wharves in lakes and the ocean to take some mildly perverse pleasure watching the landlubbers when the harbour stirred a bit.
Some of them just listed to the right or left and continued in that direction until someone grabbed them or they hit the railing. At least one person did a little impromptu pirouette.
Everybody seemed pleased to be there: the teenaged woman wearing the Eat Cake for Breakfast T-shirt; the fitness buffs — bikers, joggers and walkers wielding their trekking poles like white-haired samurai; the old-timers clustered along the rail as old men seem to do at construction sites everywhere, watching the boom swing and the loader dip its scoop into the water to dredge the harbour; the sister yelling to the brother, "Aidan, did we go on Theodore Tugboat before?"
I understood, from stealing snatches of conversation as people walked by, that folks had other things on their minds Wednesday: "Was that before tax? . . . Mario had his chest popped open on the weekend . . . They have 30 days . . . He just stays in bed all the time . . . I said 'you're going to court with that?' Well, knock yourself out."
But I could also tell, mostly from their faces and body language, that they were happy to be there.
The folks speaking French, Spanish, Japanese and Arabic seemed to be having a good time on this beautiful day, floating on the edge of our singular harbour.
Likewise the school kids, who arrived en masse and sprinted toward the rail with the kind of ferocity that made their teacher yell, pre-emptively, "No, you cannot go in!"
When they left I peered down over the rail in the direction of the construction site to see what they were looking at: dozens and dozens of little jellyfish, the ones we all know with the dangling legs.
Also floating there were a couple of spherical, luminescent creatures that I couldn't identify, even later on after searching the internet.
They seemed to pulse, magically, in the murk of the harbour water.

Hi, I've a app and I need s...normal characteres, emojis, and multilanguage including no latin languages via URL. So, to solve this problem I think about have a webservice or something like where can I consumption via httprequest where I sent the text and receive the encoded text and then I compose the URL and do my things. Im preffer C#. Anyone ?
We have a excel file with around 19000 hotels. We need to find for every hotel, the url in booking and expedia. For example, for this hotel: - Hollywood Media Hotel (Berlin) The expected output will be: - Booking: [login to view URL] - Expedia: [login to view URL]
My Wordpress web site already allows me to insert different header images on different PAGES REQUIRED: I want to keep the ability to add different header images to different PAGES but I also want the ability to add external URL link to each header image
...anymore. So in short, while this piece of code checks for status errors in the page, I need one to hopefully be implemented into this code to look for text on the page and if its found retry the same request until the text is no longer there. Note: I need the request to always use cookies as I use the cookies to login to the site without them it won't
Hello, I have an incomplete URL monitor programmed in python (bs4, cfscrape). The monitor is complete, but i need a link with Discord (via webhook). Also, right now the monitor uses a different session everytime, triggering the 5-second cloudflare waiting time. I need that to be avoided for the monitor to be fast. Very simple project, need it until
I need a new website. I already have a design, I just need you to build a website for my small business.
create like 10 url's so that when I can scan any bar-code it should directly go into that specific url. So that I can increase or decrease inventory over there...The main theme is workers should scan the product and decrease the inventory directly
I want to scrapping some website and parse some publicly available data
need good developer who can work on mac safari where our ads get stuck after opening a page or keep on downloading file on extensions during ad display on New Tab
You need to change the code so the url will look like this [login to view URL] instead of this [login to view URL],[login to view URL] these links are created dynamically and are found here [login to view URL] on this page see video https://www
...PRODUCT to PRODUCT site. The site is Brazilian, and for some reason wordpress changed all urls that were with an excerpt from the path with the products name to products and broke all the links. Example: CURRENT URL THAT ALWAYS FUNCTIONED AND DOES NOT WORK NOW [login to view URL] SAME URL BUT WITH THE WORD

My Acne Story
This may sound crazy, but I owe a lot to acne and in a little bit you will find out why! After sharing the above photo on Facebook (which ended up spearheading my idea to finally launch a wellness website) I received a lot of requests to share my "Acne Story". I put this off for a long time because I went through so many ups and downs with my skin and health that I wasn't even sure if I would remember all the details! But thanks to the big internet cloud in the sky and social media, I was actually able to hunt down a lot of my old photos and skincare routines!
My goal is to try and keep this as simple and easy to follow as I possibly can...BUT keep in mind that this was over the span of a few years! I had to do quite a bit of mental digging. While I did struggle off and on with acne throughout high school and college, I want to focus more on my most recent acne flareup (which was my worst one) that lasted from 2013-2015.
This year was a year full of change and with any big change comes a certain level of stress. (you will notice that stress is the common denominator during this story!) I was 22 and working full time as a Certified Veterinary Technician at a local clinic in Florida. I had a wonderful job and my skin was doing great! I was convinced I had finally discovered the "cure" for my acne struggles and that was following the acne.org regimen using drugstore products. Twice a day I would cleanse my skin using the CereVe Moisturizing Cleanser & my Clarisonic Mia. Following my cleanse, I would then spread a thin layer of Acne Free's Terminator 10 cream ( A Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment). Once that dried I would then apply Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream and be on my merry way. That's a lot of steps and a lot of products...but my skin was clear, smooth and bright!
I had also been gluten and refined sugar free for the past year and physically felt great. Little did I know that despite eating so "healthy" the products I was lathering onto my skin were incredibly toxic and only treating symptoms ( Acne is often an external symptom of an internal problem!) It was during this time that my family moved to Alabama. Everything was good about the move for my family and it was just what we needed at the time. But I was beginning to put roots down in Florida ( had a steady boyfriend as well) and moving turned out to be much harder than I thought. Not to mention relocating to a new town, new home, different culture, and needing to find a job. Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled that my family had been blessed with the opportunity to return to our home state. We would be close to family, and have a place to live in a community of the most caring, loving, selfless people I have ever met. God knew exactly what we needed and blessed us richly! Unfortunately the human body does not always know the difference between good stress & bad stress and will handle it in the same way. After moving to Alabama, I was able to find a technician job fairly quickly. (We moved in March and I started work in April) The downside was where we lived everything was a good 45min-1 hr away. The job was a full time position (which I was very thankful for!) but that meant getting up at 5:30am, being on the road a little after 6am so I could be at work around 7:15am, working all day, getting off at 6:30pm and making it home before 8pm to eat dinner and then be in bed before 11pm. The combination of a new work schedule, long commute, less sleep, new living situation and long distance relationship would end up sending my already stressed self into a downward spiral.
Fast forward to the end of the year 2013: I began to notice that my skin was starting to break out a little. Only this time the spots were deep and painful (cystic) and located on my cheek & jawline area. (any breakouts I had in the past were always on my forehead, chin, or around my nose.) I couldn't understand why my Skincare Regimen was not working...I thought I had found the cure! I decided it was just hormone related and pushed it out of my mind.
4-6-14 Day one of the OCM
I had been at my new job for 9 months now. I was stressed, struggling with insomnia, anxiety, and emotional ups & downs. I was eating healthier (gluten free, sugar free + more fruit and veggies) but my skin was starting to breakout ALL over my face! After much thought and desperate research, I realized that maybe I should finally make the switch to all natural products. It didn't make sense for me to eat so healthy yet still use chemicals and harsh treatments on my skin! I did some research online and discovered the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) where you use oil to cleanse your skin and treat acne. I quickly made the switch, ordered my oils (here) and started my all natural skincare journey convinced that my skin would return to normal in no time now that I was using healthier products AND eating healthy! I also decided to start documenting my skin through pictures on an instagram account as a way to help me stay motivated.
My skin calmed down a little using the OCM, but I continued to have a lot of clogged pores & discomfort. I also started to pick at my skin and my old habit of popping zits returned. I was constantly touching my face to feel for any new breakouts and was VERY self conscious about how I looked. Every time I went out in public, I covered my face with makeup..I felt like EVERYONE was judging me and staring at my skin! I did not feel pretty, and despite eating so healthy I definitely did not look healthy.
My skin went through many ups and downs, it would get better and then get much worse. I continued to tweak my diet, skincare routine and supplements hoping that at some point I would find the magic combo!
4-15-14 Started a new supplement that would supposedly help clear my acne by balancing my hormones.
In May my family went to the beach for a much needed vacation. Other than quick weekend trips to visit my boyfriend, Isaac, in Florida... I had not had a chance to go on a proper vacation. I took the above picture on our first day at the beach and was shocked at how sickly & exhausted I looked. I was so stressed and sleep deprived at this point and spent the entire week resting.
The picture above was taken on the last day of our vacation ( 5-19-14). I was amazed at how much brighter and happier I looked. Just a week of stress free R & R + fresh air & sunshine did wonders for me inside and out. This was the day that I finally made the connection between Acne, Stress, and Sleep.
After vacation my skin starting to drastically improve. It is amazing what sleep and less stress will do to your body! But while the time off did help a lot, I was still fighting the acne and just could not seem to get rid of it!
June 6, 2014
In June my life changed once again! I had flown down to Florida to visit Isaac and he PROPOSED! It was one of the happiest times for me! We wanted a short engagement and I quickly made plans to quit my job and move to Florida so I could start planning our wedding!
My skin at this point had improved A LOT. I also had the "pre-wedding" glow and could not wait to move back to Florida! My goal at this point was to focus on healing. I had a little under 3 months (between moving to Florida in August and our wedding in October) where I was not working and could completely focus on health, rest, recovery, and planning a wedding. It was then I stumbled across The Love Vitamin's Caveman Regimen. The theory is your skin is already capable of healing and protecting itself (called the "Acid Mantle") but you can damage your skin and prevent healing by constantly washing it and lathering on products and chemicals. The Caveman Regimen is where you don't wash your face with ANYTHING. Not even water if you are hard core. You give your skin a chance to repair and heal by not wearing makeup, slathering on creams, or using cleansers & masks. To me it made perfect sense, all this time I was constantly applying some sort of "natural" product to my skin to try and speed up the healing process when in reality I was never giving my skin a break and ultimately making things much worse!
My skin had improved a good bit, but I was still having minor acne flareups and a lot of redness & scarring from previous breakouts. I had nothing to lose, and 3 months where I was not working and had plenty of time to play around with this new found regimen.
The first couple of weeks on the new regimen were HARD. My skin looked awful, it was oily in places, dry and scaly in others. It was super itchy and all I wanted to do was scrub and clean it! I knew that this was just part of the healing process, plus my skin had to get used to completely new routine after washing it every single day since I was 14. About a month later I noticed a HUGE improvement! My skin was more even, the bumps were smaller, and overall redness had gone down.
After 2 months I FINALLY felt like my acne was starting to disappear! I then introduced ONE product that really helped heal the last of my acne scars and even out my skin tone: Moroccan Rose Water. (I have been applying this gem of product twice a day ever since!) I had also drastically reduced my stress levels, was sleeping better, and had discovered the amazing healing benefits of eating a diet high in healthy fats & protein.
Our wedding day: October 18, 2014
By our wedding day I felt like a completely different person. The Caveman Regimen not only helped to FINALLY heal my skin ( along with stress management, adequate sleep & a balanced diet) but it also gave me the confidence to be comfortable in my skin no matter how I looked (not washing your face or wearing makeup for 2 months can have that affect on you.)
One year later: October 2015
What Acne taught me:
- What you put IN your body is just as important as what you put ON it.
- What you put ON your body is just as important as what you put IN it.
- Less is more when it comes to skincare!
- Acne is a superficial symptom of an internal problem.
- There is no "one regimen fits all."
- Research, Research, Research.
- Your body & needs are unique.
- What works for me may not work for you!
- It takes time, and more than one step or product to heal.
- Be consistent with what works.
- Health is not everything, but you can't do much if you don't have good health.
- Emotional scarring from acne is a real thing.
- Acne does not define you.
- Stress can have a snowball affect and wreak havoc on you body, skin, digestion, mental health and hormones. Everything.
- Good quality supplements really can help.
- Moroccan Rose Water is AMAZING.
- What you eat really does matter!
- You can't out diet a stressful lifestyle.
- Poor quality sleep causes more stress.
- Stress can lead to poor quality sleep and/or insomnia.
- You can't out diet being sleep deprived.
- Stress Management, Sleep, Diet, and Exercise. Always in that order.
- Acne can be caused by MANY things.
- There is no magic cream or pill.
- Your body is complex & sometime the treatment is complex.
- Changing your lifestyle can be really hard, but it is NOT impossible!
- Don't be afraid to try new things!
- Patience. This too shall pass.

The forex trading system we are going to look at here is called the 4 Week Rule and it's been around since the late seventies, when trading legend Richard Donchian developed it to trade commodities.
The idea of Autopilot forex trading is decidedly an invoking one. After all, the main intention of a Forex Robot is to automatize the integral forex marketplace, countenancing you to trade in -- and create money -- without doing anything.
The Forex Market trading hours are as follows: New York opens at 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST (EDT), Tokyo opens at 7:00 pm to 4:00 am EST (EDT), Sydney opens at 5:00 pm to 2:00 am EST (EDT), and London opens at 3:00 am to 12:00 noon EST (EDT). There are specific times when these sessions overlap such as New York and London-8:00am-12:00 noon EST, Sydney / Tokyo-7:00pm -2:00am EST, and London / Tokyo-3:00 am-4:00am EST. During these overlapping hours traders will experience a higher volume of activity and the best chances to succeed in the foreign currency exchange market.
It is in no way related to stalking. A quick academic background check would do. Then you can ask these simple questions. "Does he or she have sufficient experience?" I consider experience as the most important factor in any information-based book. You don't have to be a doctor or a professor to be legitimate in fact for me it doesn't really even matter. What matters the most is if he has done what he has written. More than just studying the subject matter, he or she has actual experience and a say on the subject. foreign exchange trading is not a fixed science; there are factors that can't be explained through formulas and equations. And it is these experiences that will give you a feel for this widely used investment method.
By detecting the current trend, this will help you to become more aware of the overall market direction and thereby this will give you a better idea of when to jump in--especially when shorter-term price movements tend to jumble the immediiate picture.

At the height of New Orleans' murder epidemic in the mid-1990s, with killings hovering at more than one a day, then-Police Superintendent Richard Pennington made a bold commitment: to cut the city's murder rate in half in three years.
By 1999, he had achieved the goal, reducing the number of homicides citywide to 158, the lowest tally on record in the past quarter-century.
Superintendent Ronal Serpas, then a top aide to Pennington and now the NOPD's top cop, has taken a decidedly more conservative approach, declaring that he wants to reduce murders by 5 percent this year. If he meets the mark, nine fewer victims would lose their lives in 2011 compared with 2010.
The statistic is buried in a 35-page "business plan" that Serpas delivered in March to Mayor Mitch Landrieu's chief administrative officer.
The mayor said last week that he hasn't seen the report, which like scores of other departmental plans is under review by top mayoral aides. At first blush, though, the murder target seems low, he said.
"That doesn't seem ambitious enough for me," Landrieu said, though he quickly noted that the chief has a far better grasp of what NOPD can do to chip away at the city's stubborn homicide problem.
According to Serpas, his target reflects the modern challenges of law enforcement.
Fifteen years ago, a new focus on halting retaliatory killings, along with the implementation of innovative statistics-driven policing, helped the department snag the "low-hanging fruit" and drive down the murder tally, Serpas said in a recent interview.
Aiding the fight were beefed-up local laws against perpetrators of domestic violence and curfew violations. A robust national economy also seemed to avert the anger and despair that can drive people to pull the trigger in tough times, Serpas said.
"So back then Richard and I were thinking about it, 50 percent could work," Serpas said of Pennington's bold proclamation.
Pennington managed to achieve his goal when the city's citizenry was far larger -- about 485,000 people, compared with just less than 344,000 residents last year. The population drop, which owes largely to Hurricane Katrina, put the 2010 murder rate 55 percent higher than 11 years earlier.
So why now, with New Orleans' homicide problem still described as an epidemic, would Serpas set his sights on reducing the number of killings by just 5 percent in a year?
"Completely different times," he said. "Completely different times."
"I want it to go down to none. I don't think that's ridiculous," Serpas said, referring to the murder tally. "(But) we have to be realistic in where we think we can move. The long-term solution to murder in New Orleans is not going to be as much about asking (police). We still have to deal with the longer-term issues of changing lifestyles and choices and familiar relationships that go south."
Landrieu, who casts the city's murder rate as a public health crisis, demonstrated his buy-in to the theory in May when he named former City Councilman James Carter as criminal justice commissioner and directed him to tackle the "soft" side of homicide.
A lawyer who largely has operated behind the scenes since assuming the $115,000-a-year post nearly two months ago, Carter in an interview last week pointed to a U.S. Department of Justice report issued in March as a road map for navigating his new job. He was joined by Serpas and the city's public health director, Dr. Karen DeSalvo.
With a homicide rate 10 times higher than the national rate and five times higher than the rate for comparably sized cities, federal experts found that New Orleans' murderous culture stands out in a key way: Killings here generally aren't driven by gangs or drugs but the escalation of ordinary arguments.
Aiming to head off disagreements before they explode into gunfire, Carter said he has been exploring a range of social programs with a track record of making a dent in crime.
Options range from sports leagues that teach kids to resolve conflict without violence to intervention initiatives such as CeaseFire, a Chicago-based program that engages highly trained, streetwise workers to seek out those most likely to exact revenge after a shooting and try to cool them down.
"We're not interested in just emotional approaches," Carter said. "We're interested in what the science says about these things in order to address this in an intelligent, data-driven and effective way."
To that end, Carter has partnered with Serpas to plot the location of the city's latest murders on a map that shows concentrations of killings in Central City, Treme, the 7th Ward and the Upper 9th Ward. He also has identified each victim's residence to gauge how close to home slayings occur.
Then, with help from the city's public health and technology offices, Carter has undertaken an ambitious effort to plot "assets" citywide, including playgrounds, clinics, child care centers, schools and churches. So far, the map includes 875 such service sites.
Though the task is months from completion, the finished product should illustrate the sort of services lacking in the most murderous neighborhoods. Officials then will direct crime-prevention resources to those areas, Carter said.
The upshot could be the construction of a new gymnasium, he said, though more likely it will entail starting a mentoring program or a martial arts practice or a class to teach parents how to discipline recalcitrant teenagers.
Though Carter talks about inciting cultural change across communities, he aims principally to divert children from the "road to perdition." Noting that NOPD has redoubled its efforts to nab curfew violators as a means of staving off other illicit late-night behavior, Serpas agreed the focus should be on youth.
"There's only a small number of kids who are running down these paths, and we we've just got to be better at figuring out where they are, who they are, as soon as we can," he said. "You want to correct that behavior before they start going and they get into their late teens and early 20s, and at that point, you pretty much have someone who's made a life choice."
Carter couldn't say exactly how much money so-called "soft" anti-crime efforts will require. He currently oversees about $8 million in criminal justice financing that flows through City Hall, much of it in grants from government and private sources, and said the city recently applied for another $2.2 million grant from the Justice Department.
"I know we need to have more than we presently have," Carter said. "That's pretty clear."
Perhaps as important as additional cash will be Carter's ability to steer revenue toward a clear strategy, Serpas said.
"These are the kinds of programs that the commissioner's got to be taking into consideration when the school board's asking for money, when the juvenile court system's asking for money -- not only into the general fund request but into the granting request," he said. "You know, what's the strategy here and let's push everybody in the direction we want them to go."
Though complicated to track, Dr. Karen DeSalvo, the city's health commissioner, said experts have figured out ways to gauge whether such programs actually reduce crime, adding that City Hall will measure the progress of new initiatives just as officials in other areas of city government track the number of potholes filled and catch basins cleared.
"We will set goals and we will measure those," she said. "We will be transparent about what those are. Because we have to know what's working at the end of the day. We have to know if we're getting return on investment."
Indeed, officials said City Hall's commitment to tracking progress has drawn the attention of federal officials and philanthropic leaders. Such interest can only aid the goal, Serpas said.
"It will result in momentum," he said. "You know, once you start driving up momentum, you get more supporters."

Alright, well this is my first blog post, hopefully not my last but we'll see.
Quick intro, although realistically anyone crazy enough to read this probably already knows me. Name's Shane, I got married November of 2009 and had my first child, Jude, in September of 2010.
I'm currently a law student at BYU, and chances are some of the ridiculous things I blog about will come from that.
My interests involve longboarding, motorcycling, reading classical literature, tweaking my BlackBerry, and playing games with my son.
That's all I feel like writing now, so peace out people.

LG's new video teaser showing off a round-faced smartwatch set to debut next week at the IFA show begs a central question: What do users want in a smartwatch?
Round is certainly what the LG G Watch R (as some have called it) provides. LG wouldn't discuss the video teaser other than to say it hasn't announced the device's name.
LG follows Motorola, whose nearly-round Moto 360 is expected to launch in Chicago on 4 September. The 360 smartwatch runs on Android Wear.
LG's "R Watch" is set to launch just two months after the company introduced its G Watch and Samsung launched the Gear Live. Both devices run Android Wear and both are nearly square in design.
The latest LG effort raises such questions as: Can a round face really matter more than the way a smartwatch functions? Is it really a matter of style over substance?
However one answers those questions, it's a safe bet that Apple is carefully watching. Apple plans to burst on the smartwatch scene soon, maybe later this year, with a product that trumps others on style and functionality, analysts say.
"Design is a critical ingredient to the success of smartwatches but design alone with not do it," said Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar Worldpanel.
Apple needs to join the smartwatch scene by year's end to take advantage of holiday period marketing hype "or else they miss a sales opportunity," Milanesi added via email. "And they have to enter the market because I think there would be value for them to have something that comes in to add to the smartphone segment that has somewhat lost its shine in the eyes of consumers. The iPhone is still big but I think Apple users are ready for more."
Milanesi argued that while smartwatch sales figures are tiny compared to smartphones, users of the new devices are early adopters and power users who help shape new markets. "Those are power users that Apple cannot hand over to Android Wear just because Apple does not have a watch," she said.
There's little question that the early releases of Samsung and Android Wear watches haven't yet made a big impact. Earlier this year, before the Android Wear devices shipped, Kantar found that just one percent of 11,290 UK residents owned a smartwatch, with Samsung holding the largest percentage by far, at 32 percent. Of that entire group, laptops were owned by 81 percent.
Another research firm, Canalys, last week said that smartwatch (which it calls smart wearable bands) shipments grew dramatically in the first half of 2014 compared to the year earlier period, with about 1.8 million shipments. Canalys said that the LG G Watch, Moto 360 and others coming soon have off-the-shelf smartphone components inside, helping them get to market sooner.
Apple, on the other hand, will make extensive use of custom components in its smartwatch, Canalys predicted. "New products will be launched at IFA, but most technology companies are waiting to see what Apple will do first," Canalys said in a statement. "The market will see dramatic changes in the coming months."
Rob Enderle, an analyst at Enderle Group, also expects Apple to launch a smartwatch in the fourth quarter.
"We need one of the companies to set the market," he said. "Right now, folks don't know what they want in a smartwatch, at least not broadly. Apple traditionally sets the market and defines what a good product should have, which then allows others to compete for the greatest value product that supplies the features and design set."
Round watch-like designs like the Moto 360 seem to be pulling the greatest interest today, Enderle said, even though designs are "all over the map."
Meanwhile, features and functions are also all over the map, he said, while exercise and health apps and embedded pulse meters appear to be the biggest drivers of sales. "The problem is that health isn't as broad a category as communications or entertainment, which is core to [previous] successful Apple offerings," Enderle added.
"If you wanted to build a smartwatch now, you'd go round, emulating a luxury watch look, and you'd focus on exercise/health," Enderle said. "But if one of the vendors, probably Apple, can set the class to a broader feature set, the potential demand increases dramatically."
Enderle's insights were similar to those from Jan Dawson, chief analyst at Jackdaw Research, who last week said the smartwatch market is thus far "underwhelming." Dawson said Apple could have the ability to reinvent the smartwatch category, but is not the only one who could.
One of the most pessimistic about the potential smartwatch market is Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. He believes Apple will release a smartwatch in the next 12 months. "They have seen the tepid response to all the other watches and Apple wants to get it perfect," he said.
One feature that needs to be improved and promoted in smartwatches is voice-activated controls, Moorhead said. "Early implementations perform quite poorly, yet the voice control feature is more important on a smartwatch than on a phone," he said.
He said that smartwatches in general need a "lot more design work" to make them more popular with the masses.
"We are many years away from smartwatches for the masses," Moorhead said in an email on Monday, recounting thoughts he blogged about in May.
In other words, it could be years, even for Apple to come up with new smartwatch designs and functions that can woo the public.

Discussion in 'M3 Adapter' started by saosin_demo, Apr 26, 2007.
wats the gbaframe for? the one that's in the 1.04 update. tnx
when you play a GBA game on your R4, it gives it a frame instead of a plain black border
yeah. but how do u play gba using the r4/m3 simply? is there a thread about this? tnx
With a real GBA game in slot2 and your M3/R4 in slot1, boot your DS to the flashcarts menu screen, select "boot slot2". When the GBA game loads, it will have the "GBA frame" around the edge of the GBA game that used to be black.
Essentially, it will fill the empty border that GBA games always have.

The bullroarer is sometimes used as a means of demonstrating the Doppler effect, by using sound. As the instrument travels round, its sound goes up or down according to its speed, and distance from the hearer
The sanctity of the bullroarer has been shown to be very widespread. There is no doubt that the rhombus ῥόμβος which was whirled at the Greek mysteries was one.

In Cherokee legend there is a snake deity that according to legend formed the river Nantahala by just slithering along. At the end of its journey it created Lake Nantahala and a waterfall there. It is said to rest at the bottom of the waterfall calling the lake its home.
Also I have been fascinated with the story of quetzocotal ever since I was a child. I used to have dreams where I would see the winged serpent coiled and spreading it wings.

Hehe, maybe we are one big convoluted science experiment. Or maybe these aliens found us many many many years ago and have just hung out in silence ever since.
I think it comes back to the seas.. When we have our oceans mapped in their entirety, I think we will know a helluva lot more about our origins, and maybe even about our visitors.
Sorry for the disjointed response, it is very late (early) here, and I need some sleep!
Great thread though, with some truly thought-provoking stuff. Sturred and Flogged.

Baiame is said to be married to Birraghnooloo, "a godess who sends floods". The idea of Gods sending floods is reflected in ancient greek, ancient egyptian, ancient aztec and ancient sumerian mythology.
Bunjil: Of many aboriginal groups this is the supreme God. According to some tribes this is the rainbow serpents father. Others claim he is a cultural hero that came down from the sky, taught people the arts and then went back up to the sky. Yet other tribal groups claim he created mankind.

Having read this far, is aboriginal mythology reminding you of anything at all? No matter if the mythology is south american or african or chinese or northern european, the themes repeat, with flying serpents, gods coming down from the sky and returning back, gods teaching culture and so forth. I actually did not expect to find these very same elements in aboriginal history considering that they seemed remote and unrelated to other cultures of our planet.

There are some remarkable things in it, for example the conclusion of Marlo Morgan that those people are capable of communicate telepathically with each other.
That she as a doctor herself witnessed in the midst of the bush that very impressive and miraculous cure of that complicated broken leg of were the bone stick 5 cm outside the skin.
The man who had that accident walked the day after the cure without even limping, can you imagine that.

Ouch!!! Ahhh!!!!
"Here you go again, I would be glad if you could keep your hands confined", I saw myself spitting fire that could have given a dragon run for noodles.
It was one of those shallow moments I preferred to stay aloof.
All of them seated in the bus including the driver gave me weird looks.
This isn't fair! Why do people stare at me and ignore Rahul when something goes wrong?? Not that I am too pretty, well actually I am, but so is Rahul Sharma…HANDSOME!
He was still fiddling with my bangles and pinching my wrist.
I turned towards him to give him good and then I realized...
I couldn't!!!
His face had a charm of a new born child, he had the innocence of a child's smile,
His touch was as soft as a baby's bottom, everything about him reminded me of a child.
Of course it would, because that's the way I saw him... a childlike husband :)
I smiled at him and said "You won't stop, will you?? "He said..." No Ree"
I hated that. My name is Riddhi sharma, and he called me Reee like in reee which could sound like Reeeee or reeeed or read depending on his mood or the food in his mouth.
What's with this Reee??? I always wondered, but it was him and I was ready to give up anything for him.
I would often laugh at my friends watching romantic movies.
I always found them boring.
My time was spent watching offbeat movies.
Talking to the dead, foreseeing future are trifle pearls from the large sea of endearing things I wanted to do before I die...
My parents found me scary, they thought I had a problem.
And when they discovered I was in love with Rahul, they dint approve of it.
My dad told me he was one of my weird fascinations.
I was adamant, I fought, I cried, I pleaded and then I eloped.
It was the night before Diwali.
I lived in Delhi and we planned to move to Shimla, that was about 350 kms away in distance.
Rahul was waiting for me in the garage, in Dad's car. (I had slipped him the keys)
I wore the new dress mom got me, packed my clothes, took some money from dad's pocket and mom's handbag and my piggy bank (I was 23 then …FYI)
We drove exactly in the midnight around 2 AM when my parents were making love.
The only thing I was sure about, living with them for so many years was their schedule ;)
So my plan went as precise as it was intended.
We reached Shimla on Diwali, we got married on the same day in a Shiva temple.
We were so thrilled, excited and curious about our lives together.
Luckily we spent all the money we had like crazy goons on food and all that is unnecessary.
At the end of the day, we did not have a roof to stay but a lot of things to be kept under the roof :)
Rahul found a room in a decent Inn. He had arranged it as per our Plan.
That was the only thing I asked him to do and he had done his job well.
We made love like crazy for the next ten days, just ate, slept and made love.
I don't remember having a wash as well.
On the eleventh day we were so tired of doing it, so gave ourselves a break.
I said "Rahul what about our future, what do we do for food"
He said "It is free for this week, my friend said it's complimentary"
That was the happiest moment of my life, "Free food for 7 days, would you believe it"??
We spent the next week exploring Shimla, taking pictures, eating free food and of course making love relentlessly.
Those were the best days of my life, trust me there wasn't a moment I thought about my parents. He dint think too because he had none.
I know I am selfish but honestly Rahul was a gift from God.
He is so good, I never saw him angry, sad or cribbing about anything or anybody.
He called every moment of his life precious.
I am never able to fathom to this day, why did he love me?
What did I have in me to deserve him? I am all that he is not
Since the day we met I found myself melting and dissolving in his goodness.
All my friends who had nicknamed me "Ravenous Riddhi" were surprised at my metamorphosis.
Rahul is very handsome, and his inner beauty is more evident than the outer.
We met during a charity show in Shimla during my college days.
He was training to be a teacher there.
It was one of the most beautiful locations, which I had seen only in calendars and National geographic channel.
I was playing around with him as usual, for he was the cutest boy around.
I left to Delhi after the show and I found him at my doorstep the next day!!
I was shocked and felt guilty but there was nothing I could do.
I apologized and he left.
The next day I saw him near my college.
Trust me I was amazed at his innocence, his conviction and his love for me.
Rahul came to me and said "I am staying at my friend's place madam, I won't trouble you but would you let me see you every day from a distance, I won't even come near you"
I wondered what did I do or what was there in me that he came all the way.
It was too late I had fallen for him, I said "lets meet ".
Our let's meet escalated to let's go out, let's sing, let's dance, let's love, let's kiss and let's marry.
I found him terribly innocent, likeable, sweet, and humorous.
With him I found myself laughing all the time.
Dad was against it because he had dreams about packing me off with an NRI earning to glory.
A small town teacher with a small pocket was his last choice as a mortal.
"Reeee check this out "Rahul screamed while throwing a ball of snow on my face to bring me back from nostalgia.
We played like kids and went back to our room.
That night we dint make love, we spoke for the first time since we moved to Shimla.
Rahul said" I have asked my friend to drive back to Delhi and park your car home.
I don't have enough money, so I have no choice but to take you to my small house nearby."
We vacated the room and I was more than happy to go to our new home.
We decorated it with all the colors and decorative I could get my hands on.
Our home brimmed with exuberant colors and flavors just like our lives.
He resumed to work and I picked up a job in the same school.
Time passed by sooner than we thought, before I realized we were celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary.
Rahul wanted kids only after he built a school for the orphanage nearby.
Most of our earnings, donations and offerings accumulated to our fund for the school.
We had our fights, I used to start, speak and finish, finding him poised with a childish grin on his face.
One thing I disliked about going out with him was, no matter where we went, he used to fiddle with me and all the cold stares pivoted at my face.
And again he is doing the same thing today.
I looked at him again and said
"All of them are looking at us, just look at that aunty seated beside us "
He signaled that lady and when she saw us, he kissed me, she was shocked and I said "This is it".
I asked the driver to stop and started walking towards the never ending road.
Rahul came running behind, held my hand and was swinging it to and fro, humming some vague song I never heard of, nevertheless it sounded so good.
I started humming along 'MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
He was laughing, I couldn't stop myself too and we walked and walked in our world, just us with hands knotted and love entangled.
We reached the main road, I found all of them giving me weird looks, I said Rahul "leave my hand" he refused and held it tight.
He said "let's go home soon, I am hungry, and I know you have something special for me today"
I smiled and said "Of course darling today is our Anniversary, so let me buy some flowers and sweets from the corner shop, head back home and dwell in your arms the whole day."
He smiled and stood in the corner waiting for me.
I usually bought sweets from Paris corner.
The shopkeeper Ramu smiled and said.
"Today is Rahul Saab's Birthday right, I remember it."
He had kept the sweet box ready too. It had all the sweets Rahul loved.
I smiled and said "Thank you but it's our anniversary…" I just turned back and saw Rahul waving at Ramu and he was asking me to come soon.
I was just about to leave when Rahul's friend Reema appeared from nowhere…Rahul hid behind a fruit stall.
Reema said "Hey Riddhi, I am so glad to see you. I called you so many times, why dint you pick my call??? "I was grinning, looking at Rahul making faces at me.
Reema saw me and asked "Why are you smiling? "
I said "Nothing".
She said "It's great to see you smile, I know why you are here, today is Rahul's birthday right??
I said a feeble "Yes" and wished to whisk into oblivion.
Reema was smiling too and pulled me across the street, I was perplexed.
She said "I know where you're going, I want to come with you".
But I said I don't want to go anywhere, she smiled and said "I want to go, so come with me"
I was searching for Rahul, he was still hiding behind the fruit stall waving at me with a scorn.
I cursed him and walked with her to a beautiful park across the street.
Rahul and I enjoyed walking in this park. We had so many beautiful memories attached to every grass, every flower nurtured there.
While strolling I stumbled upon a stone…it was a tomb stone and by that time Reema came running towards me holding two bunches of flowers.
Reema looked at the grave and said" This will be the only grave in the world which is surrounded by exuberance, enslaved by colors, spirited with Life.
And it is, I thought. Can anyone find a grave in a park so beautiful...?
She took few tissues from her bag and swept the leaves away from the grave that read
Rahul Sharma
Born-1.1. 1980
Died -2.6.2007
Then I heard her cry, she hugged me and said "He was so full of life, I am seldom surprised to see flowers sprouting out of his grave.
Reema turned towards me and looked into my eyes and whispered "I miss him"...
I smiled and said "I don't"
She was appalled and I was so sure that she would.
Anybody in her place couldn't do better.
She gave me a look which spoke many derogatory words ineffably.
I said "let's go home and have some sweets, Rahul doesn't like crying".
Reema made a stupid excuse and left, I know I was rude nevertheless I was honest.
I realized then, Rahul had passed away 2 years after our wedding,
He had fallen from the school building which was under construction.
He came home the same night and we cried for weeks together but I realized, I had just lost the mortal in him, just the skin, the physicality but the person I loved was not dead, his love, his memories, his smile… they were eternally mine… and time had cascaded smoothly until now.
We do all the things which we used to do such as shopping, eating, singing and dancing, making love but the only person who can see it and feel it is ME.
Rahul smiled at me and kissed my hand, and we marched home together to celebrate.
My dad said my fascinations about the dead were weird and imaginative.
I seldom ponder over what he said, it doesn't matter to me if Rahul is real or a facet of my imagination.
All that matters to me is HE is with ME and I believe there is nothing such as Life after Death, there is only Life after Life and a beautiful one at that.
I heard Rahul screaming at the doorstep "Ree I am going to the school will come back soon,"
I saw him leaving, I knew he would come back.
I got dressed and was standing by the doorstep waiting for him while my neighbor Radha aunty was wondering what I was up to, she signaled me to go inside and shut the door.
I scorned at her and told myself... "Rahul I love you and my doors will always be open "Whenever You Come".

Vein Reduction
Spider Veins / Telangiectasias
The non-invasive laser treatment of unsightly leg veins is one of the most requested yet most challenging of aesthetic procedures. Because of the various diameters, depths and pressures found with these vessels, their treatment often requires a wide range of wavelengths, pulse widths and fluences. Using a combination of therapies, such as those included on the Harmony®XL system, physicians are able to treat both superficial and deep telangiectasias as well as telangiectatic matting and hemosiderin staining. Using the principle of selective photothermolysis, these vessels can be selectively heated and collapsed without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Depending on the nature of the vessels, either the Nd:YAG or an AFT treatment head on the HarmonyXL can be used to produce the desired effect.
$499 per 15 minutes or fraction thereof includes a follow up treatment of the same area 4-8 weeks after your initial treatment.

Foursquare Makes its Play For College Campuses
Over the past year, popular location-based social network Foursquare has employed a number of tricks to get students in the habit of checking in around campus. Many schools partnered with the site to offer custom badges, tips for different buildings on campus, or even discounts at certain campus dining locations. Some schools even hosted Foursquare student ambassadors to get the word out around campus. It appears to be having some effect, with Foursquare passing 10 million registered users, and now they are preparing to double down on their campus efforts.
A recent blogpost announced the impending foursquare For Universities 2.0 program, launching in the Fall. Though the post is light on details, it seems to be focused on providing more schools with custom badges designed around university insignia. The mysterious new initiative also has a number of large universities signed up as launch partners. Foursquare also included links to Google Docs forms (really?) to sign up to be a campus ambassador, or to request your school be added to the program.
I'm not an avid Foursquare user, but I could see the appeal if lots of your friends were using it regularly. It'd be nice to see if they were gathered in the library for a study session, or stopping by the dining hall for dinner. Unofficially, wider adoption would also allow you to gauge the popularity of off-campus parties without needing to waste a cab ride. Unfortunately, I'm not sure virtual badges are going to be enough to entice a wide swath of students to get into the location game. Hell, most students I know still aren't on Twitter.
So you tell me. What does Foursquare need to do to attract students en masse? What would it take for you to join?

was a fantastic film, and remains one of the standout comic book films to date. Was it perfect? Of course not, but it's daringness to utilize less colourful villains than what had been done previously in the film franchise and some playful dialogue/redundant exposition are blown way out of proportion as critiques, especially when compared to it's successor.
Does TDK improve on these things? Of course, and not necessarily to "fix" anything, but due to a maturity in the direction of the story and Nolan's presentation. Does that make Batman Begins any less of a great film, or less of a critical tale in the Nolan mythos? Of course not. But were some of the perceptions on this site taken as gospel for Team Nolan, you'd think they were shooting themselves in the foot by bringing TDKR full circle with the original entry. Thank god Nolan isn't as ashamed of
as some of the fans are... it's a great film, a part of a great trilogy, and the end I have no doubt will be a fantastic testament to not only how good the middle was but how the beginning was as well.
Imo, Nolan saw the mistakes on BB and improved them great in TDK. Less repetition, less shakiness during the fights, no simple mistakes(like a leg standing up during the dock fight after Batman knocked everyone down). Plus, with that underdevelopment feeling of Ra's al Ghul, a GREAT villain in the mythos, he seems to be exploring the character a little more in TDKR and that might make up for what we got in BB that felt underdeveloped. The only villain that will probably feel "lost" with not getting as much development as he should will be Scarecrow.
Nolan has definitely embraced BB, even if some calls it faulty which I applaud
Perhaps that's also because he never dares to visit the internet.

'Fear' and 'secrets' get tossed around a lot in BB, while in Iron Man 2 the word 'legacy' should've been used more than it did as that was really the "theme" of the film but it certainly didn't feel like it.

Agree. Goyer may have helped BB in certain ways, but his script was one of the low parts of the movie. But, at least it's better than his directing.
