Some of children's first thinking happens when they begin to distinguish between things that they have seen before and new stimuli (Wiebe et al., 2006). A child becomes habituated to objects in their environment. When this happens, they tend to pay attention to it less and less. To recognize something as familiar means that the child knows that they have previously experienced it. When a new or novel stimulus is introduced, the child will spend more time examining it than the familiar object (E. M. Brannon, Abbott, & Lutz, 2004; E. M. Brannon et al., 2006). The implication of this is that infant's minds are actively engaged in observing new objects and stimuli in their environment. Every aspect of a new object fascinates them. Once it becomes familiar they spend less time looking at it because their brains are more accustomed to it. Infants are acting on objects not only with their hands, mouths, and eyes, but with their brains.
Research shows us that even very young babies have an abstract understanding of quantity and a more concrete, object-related sense of number. Infants as young as 6 months can tell the difference between large sets of objects based only on number, provided the ratio of difference is great enough (they can discriminate 8 vs. 16 but not 8 vs. 10) (Barth, Mont, Lipton, & Spelke, 2005; Feigenson et al., 2002; Jordan & Brannon, 2006; Xu et al., 2005).
Research has also shown that children as young as 7 months of age are developing an understanding of mathematics (E. M. Brannon, 2002, 2003; Feigenson et al., 2002; McCrink & Wynn, 2004; Wynn, 2000). Consider the following observation in an infant-toddler program.
The teacher shakes a rattle in front of a child and says, "See the rattle?" The infant, sitting in a high chair, reaches for the rattle and grabs hold. She then drops the rattle. When the teacher picks up the rattle and gives it back to the child, she drops it again on the right side of the chair with eyes steadfastly fixed to the floor. The teacher picks up the rattle, saying "Oops! The rattle fell on the floor!" as she returns it to the child. The child then takes the rattle and drops it on the left side of the chair, again watching it fall and staring at it on the floor.
The infant originally drops the rattle to test the precepts of gravity. When the teacher picks up the object and gives it back to the child and she drops it again, the child is testing the constant nature of gravity. When the teacher gives the child the object again and the child drops it again, but this time on the other side of the chair, the child is testing whether gravity works on both sides of the chair. The child is testing theories about her environment. She is learning, and the teacher responds, "Did the rattle fall? Can you do it again? Can you make it fall over here?"
Children are actively and systematically constructing the world around them. They are acting as scientists to construct physical knowledge of object. This is the knowledge of an object that can be observed. Physical properties like shape, texture, and color are examples of physical knowledge. Social knowledge is knowledge acquired through interactions with others. Mathematics incorporates many types of social knowledge, such as "saying the numbers to 10" or the "names of the shapes," but should not be the primary focus for infants and toddlers.
Most mathematical learning at this age is what Piaget called logico-mathematical knowledge. This is the knowledge of relationships between objects. Piaget felt this knowledge was the basis for logical and mathematical thinking. These mathematical ideas are not a tangible physical property of an object or group of objects or something that needs to be taught by someone else. They are constructed by making relationships between the objects (Piaget, 1952; Kamii, 1985). For example, a rattle and a teddy bear can be put into many different kinds of relationships. One relationship might be that they are "different" because the rattle makes noise and the teddy bear does not. Another relationship might be that they are the "same" because both are toys. "Difference" or "sameness" is not a physical property of either item and one does not have to be taught this. Instead, the objects are put into a comparative relationship in the mind.
Another logico-mathematical relationship is "two." The "twoness" is not a physical property of either the rattle or the teddy bear, but exists in the mind in the form of a relationship. Mathematics is based on our ability to put things into mathematical relationships (Kamii & Chemeketa, 1982).
Children as young as age one try to find answers systematically, as can be seen in the previous example. While, this may seem like a haphazard process, they are mentally organizing their thoughts and their worlds mentally with an often remarkable ingenuity. Children will repeat actions or introduce other methods in order to test the regularity of the observed phenomena. Answers raise new problems and questions in the children's mind, which they immediately set about resolving.
Bobby, a 2-year-old, stacks a set of blocks on the floor. He builds a tower four blocks high and then pushes it over with his hand. He seems pleased by his actions. He then builds the tower again and knocks it over by throwing a ball at it. Again he seems pleased. Bobby then builds the tower five blocks high and pushes it over with his hand, then rebuilds the five-block tower and throws the ball at it.
This example shows how a child acts like a scientist by testing many different variables, including the height and number of blocks, as well as experimenting with the method of knocking over the tower. Infants use logic and scientific processes to reconstruct, mentally, the world around them. (Forman, 1982; Sinclair & Kamii, 1995). Progressive organizing behaviors, such as the following, exist at a very young age:
- making comparisons between and among objects based on similarity
- putting one object in one hole (one-to-one correspondence)
- putting objects into a series from smallest to biggest as preparation for more complex number concepts
As teachers of children of this age, we have to be mindful of the complex constructions going on in their minds. Every time they touch, see, smell, taste, or move something they put it into their minds in a certain way (Sinclair & Kamii, 1995). The brain instinctively wants to make sense of this new information and puts it into a framework that Piaget called a schema. For infants and toddlers, these schema are very concrete and are directly linked to their senses and motor activity. From 24–36 months, children are developing some representational thought, that is, they begin representing their knowledge using language, drawings, and objects. As the child grows, representational thought is going to be very important in the construction of mathematics. A large part of mathematics is based on representational thought. Representation is the process of making one thing stand for another.
For example, we use the numeral "4" to stand for | | | |. We use all sorts of symbols and signs to represent more abstract ideas in mathematics such as addition (+), subtraction (−), and multiplication (×). In the infant and toddler years, the simple act of supporting a child's burgeoning representational thought process is supporting his future mathematical ability.
Teachers of children from 2–3 years are on the cutting edge of fostering this vital intelligence. Children this age will begin to incorporate what they know into their imaginative play and this becomes a fertile area for mathematics. When a child pretends to use a block as a telephone, he is using representational thought. He has made a block stand for the phone just like "4" stands for | | | |. Many times, children develop a better understanding of these concepts if they are presented in a play context.
For example, children playing in the housekeeping area could be asked questions like "how many apples or spoons?" or "how much soup will you need?" They could be asked to put toy cans in their places in the pantry, which supports one-to-one correspondence. The children are also developing rudimentary counting and number skills and can be asked to count, even if they are not always accurate. "Let's see how many spoons are here. Let's count together: 1, 2, 3, 4. . ." Even before infants can count, however, they begin to discern similarities and differences in their environment that form the basis for forming mathematical relationships (E. M. Brannon et al., 2004; Kuhlmeier, Bloom, & Wynn, 2004; McCrink & Wynn, 2004), as in the following observation:
Twelve-and-a-half-month-old Xu is given a set of cups that fit inside one another and a group of sticks of different lengths. He takes the second-to-longest stick, looks at it, and keeps it in his left hand. With the other hand, he takes the second biggest cup. With the stick he firmly touches the cup. Then using the rod he firmly touches the largest cup, then the next smallest cup, and then the cup he is holding.
As children try to apply order to their environment, through mentally and physically acting on objects in their environment, they are thinking logically and even mathematically. When they do very simple actions such as using a stick to touch three cups in sequence they are systematically applying order to their environment using number, and logic (Sinclairs 1989). This is the child making sense of the world. As teachers in programs for young children, we need to recognize the rich mathematical learning that is occurring, and that the environment is vital to the infant's construction of mathematics. Setting up a stimulating environment is the most important thing a teacher can do for infants and toddlers. Make objects available that children can observe, sort, and act on mentally, as we saw in the vignette with Xu. Interactions with objects will aid the child in developing the basic concepts needed for higher-level mathematics, such as one of the first basic concepts they will learn: the concept of "more."

This project tells the story of South Africa as the land of opportunities and how a man, Mike Mcebisi Msizi, enabled transformational opportunities for the Tsitsikamma Mfengu with the phrase 'Just Imagine'.
The introduction of South Africa's electricity crisis in 2007 created the opportunity for Mike to creatively imagine a response to this crisis through his vision of a wind farm on the land of the Tsitsikamma Mfengu.
'I can fix that and make a good business out of it too' Mike Msizi
This dream set in motion a chain of events which resulted in partnerships which included amongst others Mike Msizi, local community members, South African companies, local government and the Danish government. It is a story where struggle, innovation, negotiation, loss, mourning, success and celebration cumulate into the transformation of many people's lives as epitomized by the rising wind towers on the community owned land of the Tsitsikamma Mfengu. This project tells the story of how – through building and maintaining relationships – dreams are turned into reality, ensuring that the local community and environment benefit from it and by doing this, keeping the legacy of Mike Mcebisi Msizi alive.

Cho'Gath Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Cho'Gath AP/Tank
Cho'Gath is a great AP champion as well as a Tank, but The problem that most people have is they play him just as a tank. Cho'Gath is more than a tank! With the right items he can do high damage output. If you decide to use this build and follow my guide you will not be dissapointed and will enjoy Cho'Gath alot more.
If your are just starting or have not played Cho'Gath yet this build is not for you. Practice with Cho'Gath in normal games and get good with Rupture because practice games are no help due to the Bots move differently than actual players do.
Mastery Tree
Cho'Gath doesn't need Defense so leave that skill tree at zero. With this build, the small amounts of defense from the tree will be pointless and not noticeable. Focus on Magic Penetration, Cooldown Reduction, and Mana Regen.
Magic Penetration: The 9 points in Offense covers this. Useful because the majority of your damage will be from Magic. Getting this gives you that much more damage output early game which could decide getting a kill or not.
Cooldown Reduction: The 9 points in Offense as well as the 21 Points in Utility covers this one. Useful because all of Cho'Gath's skills have a relatively high cooldown. Reducing them just makes Cho'Gath that much more dangerous especially since all of his skills (Except Vorpal Spikes) have the potential to do over 500 damage, Feast able to do over 1000. Also, the Summoner Spell reduction is AMAZING for Cho'Gath, I will explain a little more in the Spell section.
Mana Regen : The 21 points in Utility cover this. This is what Cho'gath needs the most. Early game, you will notice using Rupture burns through your mana. There have been many games where I originally used the Defense tree and every time I was about to get a kill and the only thing that would reach the fleeing enemy was rupture, I was out of mana. Switching over to Utility solved this. Now I am able to spam Rupture a little more early game which makes all the difference.
Pure HP setup or a pure AP rune setup work but I like this Hybrid setup as it will make Cho'Gath the true Terror he is out to be.-Greater Mark of Insight: As explained before, the magic penetration gives you that little extra damage early game to help you get first blood.
-Greater Seal of Clarity: The magic regen allows you to spam more of your skills early game which greatly increases your chances of getting a kill.
-Greater Glyph of Force: Once again, the added AP early game (Level 3-4 it starts to show) makes you that much more dangerous.
-Greater Quintessence of Fortitude: The added HP allows you to lane longer, farm gold longer, and to chase a fleeing enemy in to a turret, get the kill, run back, and survive early game.
Summoner Spells
Most people when writing guides recommend maybe about 4-5 different spells the champion can get to do well. For Cho'Gath, the only 2 spells you get no matter what are Ignite and Ghost.
-Ignite: As mentioned above, Cho'Gath has the potential to 3 hit most squishies 3/4 to full health. However, this is only true once you reach around level 13 or so if you are having a descent game. With Ignite, after level 6, players with around half health are dead. Rupture, Scream, Ignite, Feast. Most are not surviving after that. And whats great about it is that most people think they are safe with around half health and are at a distance. Catch them with a Rupture and its completely over for them. Even at level 1-6, this added damage is great for getting kills and with full Utility, you can use it that much quicker every time.
-Flash: Cho has a LOW movement speed. He cannot chase. Once you do your 3 hit combo and the enemy is still alive but barely, it is VERY HARD to catch him. I have tried builds to give him better movement speed, they are expensive and it takes away other items that benefit him more.
Summoner Spells You May Think Are Good But Actually Aren't
Heal: Always a useless spell. If playing a game smart, this is pointless especially for Cho who, with my build, can take a large amount of damage and be fine. And with ghost, you should always be able to escape if in danger.
-Exhaust: Cho'Gath does NOT have a high attack right. He does not need one. All his damage comes from his skills. Slowing the enemy just to get 2 extra hits (thats really all it will give him) will NOT make much of a difference, especially late game. Yes, it will make it easier to land a rupture but if you practice, landing a rupture will already be easy. Let a teammate get this and stick with Ignite.
-Cleanse: Yes, it sucks getting trapped. This is why we get Mercury's Treads. With the amount of health and damage reduction Cho will get, the boots are good enough.
-Clarity: I know I said Cho has trouble with his mana early game. So maybe Cleanse could be good. However, mid to late game he is fine making this useless. Stick with with Ignite and Flash which are USEFUL FOR THE WHOLE GAME.
Out of the 6 items listed, there are really only 4 that are a complete must. The rest are situational.
-Regrowth Pendant: Probably the best item to get first for Cho. Allows you to lane longer which potentially gets you more gold and more kills. You may think to get an AP based item first but you will get gold fast enough where this is more useful.
-Mercury's Treads: 8/10 times you do want to buy this. If you see the enemy team has 2+ stuns/snares and are good (This is usually the case), this is a must. There is nothing worse then getting trapped by an enemy only to get trapped once again right afterwards by another and getting killed. As I said before, a killed Cho who loses all of his stacks is useless. Getting these boots reduces 40% of the time stunned which makes all the difference. HOWEVER, if you see that nobody really has a stun or they just are a horrible team, you can go with Sorcerer's Shoes. The magic Penetration gives you that extra damage output and any little extra always helps.
-Mejai's Soulstealer: An absolute MUST for Cho. This is what allows you to 3-4 hit most enemys. A full stack here makes you a beast and gives you cooldown reduction and is very easily attainable. If you are having a great early game, by all means, get this BEFORE boots. You could have this by level 6 if so and thats when you start doing the majority of your killing.
-Leviathan: Once again, if you don't have this, you can't be a beast. The added health PLUS 15% damage reduction makes him ridiculously strong. You should have around 5-8 stacks in Soul Stealer by the time you get this and having that added AP makes it that much easier to add stacks to this one.
-Warmog's Armor: I always consider this a must when playing Cho. The added health and regen makes your survivability rating go up greatly. Try and get this after Leviathan.
Situational Items
Any item listen below is your choice. Decide what works best for you and what will work best against the team you are facing. I will not go in much detail about them, I will simply list them and then you can figure out during the game what you need.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter: For added damage and survivability if needed.
Randuin's Omen: Great against players with high DPS (Garen, Warwick, Udyr, Jax, ect...).
Atma's Impaler: With full stacks this gives you a little under 100 added damage plus the added armor and crit. Not a must simply because of Cho's low movement speed and attack rate. The added damage is great for taking down towers but you wont be getting too many hits on players. However, if your team is doing well, and you don't feel you need extra AP/health, its still a great item to get.
Thornmail: A cheaper alternative to Randuin's Omen which works great against hero's like Garren, Udyr, Jax, Warwick. I usually get this over Omen if I am facing a few of these guys simply because I can get it faster and the added damage is amazing (Considering Cho already has over twice as much HP as most Hero's with this build, 1v1, by the time anyone gets you low, all you have to is feast and they are dead because they were attacking you).
Force of Nature: Always a must if you are facing a few mages with nukes (Ryze, Twisted Fate, Veigar, ect...). In some cases, I have stacked on 2 of these as my last items because there were a lot of them and they were good.
Zhonya's Ring: Well, if you want to do over 1000 damage with feast, about 700 damage with rupture, and about 600 with scream and the game isn't over yet and you don't need survivability, go for it. You will be able to take on 3+ at once, live, and probably take them all out. You could potentially do a little under 3000 damage in a matter of seconds BY YOURSELF if you add ignite in to your 3 hit combo late game.
Skill Order
Just a quick review of the skill order you should be getting and how to use them.
-Carnivore: A great passive that gives Cho amazing lane control. Simply put, it heals you and gives you mana whenever you get a skill. This is extremely good late game considering your Rupture will kill a group of minions in one go. Always keep this in mind.
-Rupture: ALWAYS get this first. This is your number 1 harasser, damage dealer early game, and your main way of healing (Rupturing a group of minions and killing them heals you due to your passive). HOWEVER, do not spam this. You have limited mana early. Use it when it makes sense. If you know you are going to kill a group of minions to heal, use it. If you could potentially kill an enemy, use it. Even if you know you can hit someone just to drop their hp its fine. Just don't go non stop with it. Practice this, learn to predict where the player will move. 9/10, if you center the target over the player and press it, the rupture WILL MISS. It is easy to spot and has a delay. Learn it. This is your first skill you will be getting to level 5 at around levels 9 or 10.
-Feral Scream : Not needed within the first few levels simply because it wastes too much mana when combined with rupture. However, you do need it before level 6 so when you do get feast, you can do your 1-2-3 combo and get some kills. So at level 4 get 1 point in this. And use this wisely. It has a silence on it, you don't always need to use it with rupture. If you know an enemy is about to die and has a good escape skill (Shaco) USE IT. He will be going nowhere. This also has great damage output on it mid to late game. This is your second skill you will be making level 5 at around levels 13 or 14.
-Vorpal Spikes: A great second level skill simply because it will help you farm that many more minions regening health and mana. I usually only get 1 point in this until I max out everything else HOWEVER, there have been times where I was being pushed and 1 level wasnt enough to get that many minion kills to heal. If this is the case, get a second level before level 6. It will help.
-Feast: This is your main kill skill. At level 6, when you get this. LOOK on the map. Look at your lane. If you see a potential kill and you WON'T die in the process, go for it. If not, go to the golem buff and get your first feast stack. Now with the cooldown reduction, whenever Feast is ready, USE IT. The only exception is if you believe you can get a kill within the next 10 seconds or so, otherwise, find a minion. Reason being, you want as much health as possible, especially early game. If you get the golem buff, then stand around waiting 3 minutes for an enemy who is running around his tower to come to you, you are wasting that buff. You could of had just about 4 stacks already if you simply went for the minions. Once you have reached 6 stacks NEVER waste this one a minion. You are a fool if you do. Also, keep in mind, just because you have that added health doesn't mean you are invincible. Don't play like a tank and don't be one of the first rushing in to a team battle if there is one early game. You will die and have to get your stacks back all over again.
Key Tips To Playing a Successful Cho'Gath
-Early game, always try to find a solo line whether it be mid or one where you partner wants to jungle. The faster you level up past your enemies drastically increases the kills you get. However, don't make a big deal if you can't have a solo lane, just match yourself up with someone who has a trap/stun and you will do fine.
-Around levels 1-10 or until you get your stacks up (Feast, Leviathan, Soulstealer) NEVER play like a tank. You will die and I said it twice before. A dead Cho'Gath with 0 stacks on feast IS USELESS. Play safe, use your rupture and if the enemy team is getting pushed back, go in. If your team is being pushed, don't try to change that, you can't yet. Run, and if possible, use your rupture to slow down enemies who are trying to get a kill on your team mate.
-Always try and get the Golem's buff especially if you need to get some Feast stacks. The cool down time is amazing and will give you that much more health in no time.
-If low on health, jungle for a minute or so. Don't waste your time going back. If you think you're safe you can easily get back to full by killing some neutral monsters and gain some gold in the process.
-Late game, especially if you have full leviathan stacks, don't be afraid to tank a turret for your team. Never waste time waiting for the minions to take the damage. By the time it goes down, you won't even have lost 1/4 health.
-Always make sure your feast is up before trying to solo 2+ enemies and always go for the squishy first because they tend to go down the quickest but deal the most damage.
-Learn when to use Feast. Late game, there is nothing more satisfying then seeing a Temmo with a little above half health, walking up to him, using Feast, and killing him. Then watching him get all pissed off. It is possible. If you are unsure that you will kill him from his health bar, click on him and check his health out because the longer you wait to use Feast on someone, the longer it will take for you to use it on someone else.
-Always remember your summoner spells. Ignite will get you lots of early kills and late kills (Does 500 damage at level 18 damage). Ghost will get you places faster to save team mates and help you run away. If you see they are up, set yourself up to use them.
Well, that's about it for this guide. Just a basic little thing to start players in the right path to Cho'Gath. Didn't want to write a step by step guide that showed what players should be doing every minute simply because everyone has their own way to play and you will ultimately get better figuring it out yourself.
With that said, thank you for reading, hope you enjoy the Feast, and here are a few last key things to remember:
-Don't play as a tank early game
-Get your feast stacks up as fast as possible
-Learn how to predict where players will go when using rupture
-Learn to determine by the health bar if Feast will kill them or not.
-Rupture and Scream are great skills to escape and help team mates escape, do not have to be used together.
-Learn to always be looking at the map and help team mates in need.
-Have fun!... unless you lose which you shouldn't be in which case, practice more.
Note: At full stacks, Cho'Gaths health is increased to a little under 5000 with the item setup listed.

Keynote Address given by Dr Terry Robson at the Launch of the IRSP's documents:
• Perspectives on the Future of Republican Socialism in Ireland
96 Page Analysis of the IRSP views on the various issues facing the Irish working class.
• Republican Socialist Programme for Ireland
12 page summary of the perspectives document.
I want to take this opportunity at the outset of thanking the leadership of the Republican Socialist Movement for inviting me to address this gathering so that the two documents which are being launched today can reach our working class audience and be used as a tool in raising their consciousness and in developing strategies to build a serious political opposition to the Tories and their Irish collaborators.
My contribution this afternoon is to focus on the building of the socialist society in Ireland.
In setting out the ideas contained in the programme of the IRSP, it is important at all times to recognize and acknowledge the roots of the movement and also acknowledge as socialist revolutionaries that our function and role is to seek to expose the opportunism of those who describe themselves as socialists but who nonetheless have engaged with every conservative administration in the Free State and in Britain to lever themselves into power
The pathetic spectacle of the Sinn Fein leadership attempting to address the current financial crisis by announcing a series of irrelevant measures designed to assist the coalition governments at Stormont and Westminster, was at least embarrassing and at worst politically damaging.
It should not be the function of socialist revolutionaries to assist in propping up the northern state any more than it should be the function of socialist revolutionaries to provide excuses for the continuation of this capitalist system.
Of course many cynics will point to the IRSP and demand that its members 'get real' and deal with the realities of life in the 21st century. But tell that to the millions of French workers and students who threaten to bring the state to its knees through strike action and boycott in their campaign of opposition to state imposed cuts. Tell that to the millions of working class people who are going to be adversely affected by the measures expected to be introduced by British Chancellor, George Osborne, Stormont finance minister Sammy Wilson and inevitably by the Irish Finance Minister, Brian Lenihan. And now we hear that thirty CEO's of major companies including Tesco and Asda support the austerity measures. And still the banks pay out massive bonuses to their executives and additional rewards to their investors.
Does the IRSP have an answer to these problems? I believe that it does! Build alliances of trades unionists and community activists and prepare for the socialist society. Bring the state to its knees and build the socialist society. Nationalise the banks and financial institutions and build the socialist society. Abolish the border, reunite the nation and build the socialist society. There is no other answer to the global financial crisis. Any other solution will inevitably drive the advocates of reform into the arms of the collaborators and their financial backers in the IMF. Any other solution will inevitably result in the working class having to pay for the greed of the few.
So, what is Sinn Fein's response? What is their solution to a resolution of the crisis? Place a levy on mobile phone companies. Initiate a cut in Minister's, senior civil servants and MLA salaries and expenses and – wait for it – introduce a 3p levy on the use of plastic bags! Sinn Fein should get real. James Connolly must be turning in his grave. It would have been better for them if they had kept their tongues in their cheeks.
For this reason therefore I want to briefly draw your attention to two important areas which are matters of public concern and to acknowledge the historic and ideological roots of our movement with that of James Connolly. The first area is to expose the hypocricy of those within the establishment who refuse to lay the blame for the current economic and financial crisis on the bankers and their allies as well as to force them to admit that even though we might be satisfied at seeing them prosecuted for what they have done - which is unlikely - it is important to recognize that it is the capitalist system which is at fault. Secondly it is important to look at the arms of the State, namely, its police forces, and seek to provide a constructive alternative to a so-called 'reformed' police service, which is truly democratic, accountable and without access to arms.
As to our historic roots: In 1910, Connolly returned to Ireland, first landing in Derry, as organiser of the new Socialist Party in Ireland. He was co-founder of the Labour Party in 1912. He was the Belfast organiser for the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union. This Union led the wave of class struggles that affected both Dublin and Belfast. Connolly succeeded in uniting Catholic and Protestant workers against the employers. In October 1911 he led the famous Belfast Textile Workers' strike. The wave of employee strikes was countered by the employers in the notorious Dublin Lock-out of 1913. On this occasion, Dublin employers, organised by William Martin Murphy, the chairman of the Employers' Federation and owner of the Independent newspaper, set out to crush the workers and their organisations. The ITGWU replied by blacking Murphy's newspapers, which led to the lock-out of the workers. Connolly became the workers' leader following the arrest of James Larkin. He himself was arrested and went on hunger strike, but was released after a week. Larkin and Connolly appealed for help from abroad and in September the first food ship sailed into Dublin supported by British workers.
Hence our roots in working-class action and international cooperation.
The Easter Proclamation bears marks of Connolly's influence: the egalitarianism of the opening address: 'Irishmen and Irishwomen … '; and the socialist demand that 'We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies'. Connolly was sentenced to death by a British Military Tribunal for his role in the Rising and was executed by a firing squad in Kilmainham Gaol at dawn on 12 May 1916.
Meanwhile more recently, Sinn Fein contribute to the warning by Connolly of a 'carnival of reaction' by forging an alliance with the DUP, one of the most reactionary political parties in Europe so that they can share the spoils of localized power. They are either easily bought, or have a 'fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants approach to politics. Consider for example, Gerry Adams' disastrous performance on RTE during the Free State elections when he failed abysmally to provide even the most basic understanding of the southern economy.
The Free State has had a varied and erratic approach to the question of economic stability. Every attempt by the left and the republican left to seek answers to the problems of unemployment and poverty was to respond to international crises by seeking either to provide piece-meal solutions, or to bend over backwards to meet the demands of those managing the new global economy. The growth and collapse of the southern economy is well documented::
In the 1990s, the southern economy began the 'Celtic Tiger' phase. The European Union contributed over €10 billion into infrastructure. By 2000 the South had become one of the world's wealthiest nations, unemployment stabilised at 4% and income tax was almost half 1980s levels. During this time, the Irish economy grew by five to six percent annually, dramatically raising Irish workers' incomes to surpass those of many states in the rest of Western Europe, including Britain.But the onset of the recent crisis demonstrated in no short measure the weakness of the capitalist system in Ireland and exposed the dangers of building a local economy on foreign capital.
How do these developments compare with that taking place north of the border? The tendency over the past two centuries and in particular the period described as the Industrial Revolution, the pro-Unionist, capitalist class located most of the nation's wealth in the North Eastern corner of Ireland. This inevitably led to the consolidation of economic power amongst the Unionist financial elite and to the inevitable sense of uneven development and to the emasculation of weaker sections of the Irish economy. It led to the inevitable division of the country into two separate states. It also led to the further consolidation of power amongst the Unionist ruling class in Belfast and the systematic programme of discrimination against the minority Catholic population, in particular in that area often described as 'West of the Bann'.
Now we are faced with the Tory's introduction of the most savage cuts in public expenditure to meet the deficit – the legacy, if the Tories are to be believed, of three successive Labour administrations. So much for the advantages of union with Britain.
In the north, the coalition of DUP and Sinn Fein go cap-in-hand to Downing Street for hand-outs whilst Gerry Adams continues to make a fool of himself as chair of a panel of the Sinn Fein leadership presenting their recommendations to the crisis of £1.8 billion in savings. But the bottom line is that in whatever way they chose to explain away their collaboration with Unionism, the fact is that they are helping to manage the British economy in Ireland. Meanwhile European workers protesting against changes in pension rights take to the streets in a united effort to resist measures which affect their hard-won rights. While the RUC/PSNI raid workers homes in Derry cheered on by Sinn Fein, French workers are confronting the police on the streets of Paris, Marseilles and Lyons. What a contrast, and what an embarrassment to our tradition of opposition to the state.
This brings me to the second and final issue of this presentation which goes to the heart of the dilemma facing republican and socialist community workers.
Socialists should have no illusions in the police. They are the first line of the repressive arm of the state. This state is, to paraphrase Marx, a committee for managing the common affairs of the middle class. One of these 'common affairs' is the problem of managing the working class and ensuring it is never in a position to threaten private property and the means of production - the basis of class power in all capitalist societies. For socialists the police represent a serious obstacle to realising socialism because it is the function of the police to provide the substance of this management process. This is why, traditionally, many a revolutionary programme has argued for disbanding the police and its replacement by militias formed from the conscious workers themselves - to defend and strengthen working class power - in just the same way that Connolly advocated the founding of the Irish Citizens' Army.. The obvious difficulty is that calling for the abolition of the police invites derision and dismissal as unreal and impractical.
This has tended to leave the left with very little to say about crime and everyday policing. It is often said that republicans may be good on the diagnosis of crime but weak in what can be done about it, creating the impression that the left is soft on criminality. Obviously, this is not good enough - it leaves us disarmed in front of those communities where crime and anti-social behaviour is endemic. And from an 'orthodox' point of view of progressing the class struggle, there is no development of a strategy to neutralise the police as the first line of the capitalist state. It's an issue left hanging in the air, presumably to be sorted out at some point down the line.
Meanwhile those working within the community sector are confronted with daily dilemmas of having to seek solutions to community demands for law and order.
The IRSP recognises that working class communities bear the brunt of crime and argues for a variety of strategies to tackle it including empowering those communities through the democratic control of policing. At the moment accountability is haphazard and indirect and dominated to some extent by Sinn Fein. It is vital that the IRSP challenge the Sinn Fein stranglehold of this issue. Democratic accountability exists partially through the police committees only, and even then they have no rights over policy or personnel. This is neither a new nor a unique problem
In South Africa following the removal of the apartheid regime the local communities were faced with an upsurge of criminal activity. Simply put, their answer was to ignore the existing policing structures and build localized defense committees with responsibility for law and order. As it was the policing arm of the state which permitted the apartheid regime to continue it would have been impossible to have any confidence in it. Forty years after the murder of Sammy Devenney in this city by members of the RUC and still the Historic Enquiry team haven't as much as acknowledged or recognized RUC guilt.
The situation in the North is no different. The RUC was formed to defend the state and to provide the state with the justification to continue its programme of religious and political discrimination.
New policing structures need to be built which separate policing from the state. The PSNI man of 2010 who kicks in the door of a republican to search his or her home and take them to Antrim holding centre and then to Maghaberry is no different from the RUC man of 1971 who kicked in the door of a republican to take them to Castlereagh and Long Kesh. Similarly, the PSNI man who carries out these early morning raids is the same man who visits the local community centre with proposals to combat local crime.
At its base, the North continues to be a sectarian state which must be dismantled with all of its institutions rebuilt in the interests of the working class. The Northern state was created and built to represent one section of the population and ultimately to subjugate another section of the population in the interests of the capitalist class, north and south.
The task of Republican Socialists ultimately is to expose the anomalies, build the revolutionary Party and lay the basis for the socialist society envisaged by James Connolly and Seamus Costello. That is why he brought us together in the Spa Hotel in November in 1974.

Forest sees quarterly and annual sales sink
Quarterly sales at Forest Labs slumped 21.4% to $783.2 million, compared to $997 million during the same period the year before, bitten by lost sales of anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medication Lexapro, which went generic in March 2012. The company noted that rising sales of medications such as its Alzheimer's therapy Namenda ($439 million, up 12% from the same period last year), and major depressive disorder medication Viibryd ($45 million, up 80%) helped offset some of these losses.
Despite the losses, Forest beat expectations of Leerink Swann analyst Seamus Fernandez, largely based on cutbacks: SG&A costs shrank 9.2%, to $372 million, compared to $411 million for the same period last year.
Sales for the fiscal year that ended March 31 fell 32%, to $3 billion, from $4.4 billion for the previous fiscal year. The company also closed the year with a $32 million loss, compared to income of $980 million for the year before.
The company said it expects sales to reach $3.4 billion for the 2014 financial year and that SG&A expenses will increase by 11%, to $1.75 billion. The company said the funding will go toward "continued competitive levels of support" behind existing products, including fibromyalgia drug Savella and blood pressure medication Bystolic, which has seen its patent exclusivity challenged by generics firms.
Despite corporate's optimistic take, Leerink Swann's Fernandez wrote in his Tuesday research note that the drug maker's FY2014 outlook fell below his cumulative estimates with regard to new products Namenda XR, Viibryd, COPD drug Daliresp, antibacterial Teflaro, and CNS candidate levomilnacipran. Bystolic, he wrote, is a "lone bright spot."

What They Said
"EDA desperately in need of an Open Source SystemVerilog front-end."
Open Source KiCad has taken over EDA for me and some of my collaborators. Plaintext save files is the killer feature for me.
Russel from nandland.com:
"First of all, Clifford thanks so much for the great tools. With a brand-new install of Ubuntu, I performed exactly the instructions that you outlined on the Project Icestorm website and I was able to build and program my FPGA dev board (The Nandland Go Board) surprisingly easily! This was easier and less work than the official Lattice programmer for Linux. I got hung up in package dependency hell with the Lattice tools."
Dirk Hohndel from Intel:
"Linux Kernel development proceeds at an insane and still increasing pace"
Laurent Desseignes, Microcontroller Ecosystem Marketing Manager of STMicroelectronics:
"The Linux community is known to attract creative free-thinkers who are adept at sharing ideas and solving challenges efficiently" Link
Yann LeCun: inventor of convolutional neural networks:
"But perhaps more interesting is the idea that FPGAs are the reconfigurable device that might next on the neural network agenda for processing the larger nets (while GPUs remain the high performance training mechanism). In a very interesting admission, LeCun told The Platform that Google is rumored to be building custom hardware to run its neural networks and that this hardware is said to be based on FPGAs." Link
Bastien Nocera
The biggest hurdle was getting the WiFi driver to work. The tablet used a Realtek chip and he was able to get a "code drop" driver from the company. The driver included all sorts of generic USB code that was unneeded. Eventually, I cut out all of the excess code—reducing the size of the driver by a factor of 20.
Chung from Microsoft:
The idea is to use FPGAs, field-programmable gate arrays, chips that can be reconfigured to implement any design and that can be very power-efficient. Microsoft began using FPGAs to power parts of its Bing search engine last year.
Using FPGAs does come with drawbacks, for example the work that has to be done to program them to do the work at hand. Link
Xilinx and IMO Altera are buggy as hell. In Altera land I have recently been burned by the Qsys to Eclipse monstrosity. I wish these tools targeted a lower level. Qsys and Eclipse are way too automatic and high level for the ridiculous amount of bugs they seem to have. Sure the ref designs work but add something slightly more complex and it creates HW problems in opaque and frustrating ways. Link
"If you look at Xilinx's tools, for instance, they look nicely integrated, they look like they do a good job synthesizing/implementing things, and modern FPGAs are *so big* that honestly, what the tools do looks like magic.
But then go and open the FPGA editor, and look at the design carefully – and in a *lot* of cases, the tool is just monumentally stupid for what you're trying to do: because *there's no way to tell it* what you're trying to do. There aren't any attributes, or constraints, or macros available to pass that information along.
You can actually *still fix this* yourself, by implementing the FPGA directly in the editor as a hard macro, and using that hard macro. But Xilinx's FPGA editor hasn't been updated in forever – it's ungodly buggy, and it takes a ton of time to do even simple things. It can't even handle the fact that the FPGA has symmetry – so you have to build "left-hand side" macros, and "right-hand side" macros, even though you're trying to say "use the thing closest to this other thing." Link
Why is it so hard to get a good, all-encompassing tool for FPGA development? When I want to develop firmware on MSP430s, I just download Code Composer Studio from TI and I don't need to do ANYTHING ELSE; just start debugging. This seemingly obfuscated environment surrounding FPGAs is a major reason people only approach the subject and never embrace it. Link
PMOD modules
Saanlima PS2 and NES interfaces
TE Electronic magnetic encoder
numato (Attention, they make mechanically incompatible dual-PMOD boards)!
Other compatible hardware modules
The following HW modules can be attached by an interface board:
UEXT modules ( use interface PMOD from thoseboards )
Grove modules (use interface PMOD from XESS )

Quick Reference
Critical essays on symbolism by Edmund Wilson, published in 1931 with the subtitle "A Study in the Imaginative Literature of 1870 to 1930." The authors treated are Yeats, Valéry, Eliot, Proust, Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Rimbaud, and Villiers de I'Isle-Adam. The poetic prose drama Axel by the last-named author gives the work its title, for it treats a character, Count Axel, and has a setting that suggests the subjective and symbolic quality of the literature with which Wilson deals.

Ladies, Movember is officially over!! While it has been quite entertaining to watch the mo's grow over the past 30 days, it will be nice to finally see some clean-shaven faces around the office again.
Congratulations to everyone who raised money in support of men's health! According to Movember Canada, 173,077 Canadian's raised more than $27 million in their Movember initiatives and approximately $97 million was raised worldwide. Canada was the top fundraising country which is something to be extremely proud of – pat yourself on the back Canucks!
As mentioned in "Movember: What you need to Mo," I helped celebrate the end of Movember by attending Toronto's gala on Friday night at Kool Haus.
The event can more or less be summarized by this promotional video:

Dembowski, Edward
Dembowski, Edward
Born Apr. 25 (or May 31), 1822, in Warsaw; died Feb. 27, 1846, in Podgórze, near Kraków. Polish philosopher and revolutionary democrat.
Dembowski was of gentry origin. In 1839 he joined the underground patriotic organization known as the Association of the Polish People and soon became the head of its revolutionary wing. In 1842 he founded in Warsaw the journal Przeglqd naukowy, around which radical young people were grouped. In 1843 he emigrated to the Grand Duchy of Poznan, from which a year later he was banished by the police. From the summer of 1845 he was illegally based in Galicia, where he led the preparations for a national-liberation rebellion. On Feb. 24, 1846, he arrived in insurgent Kraków and was given the post of secretary to the dictator J. Tyssowski. On February 26 he checked a counterrevolutionary plot by Kraków landlords and proclaimed the repeal of corvée, the transfer of land to peasant ownership, the liquidation of all noble privileges, and the creation of national workshops for artisans. On February 27 he headed a march that set off for Galicia to explain to the the peasantry the goals of the revolution. He was killed during an attack by Austrian troops.
An adherent and propagator of Hegel's philosophy, Dembowski nonetheless criticized the "electicism" of Hegelianism, in which he saw an attempt to reconcile contradictory elements—"existing evil with progress"—and thereby to arrive at a theoretical justification of evil. Dembowski stressed the need for a new philosophical synthesis in which the Hegelian dialectic with its inherent principle of negation would be combined with a recognition of the revolutionary activity of the masses as the main directing force of the historical process. An attempt at such synthesis was Dembowski's "philosophy of creativity," which he developed under the influence of L. Feuerbach and expounded in his essay "Thoughts on the Future of Philosophy" (1845). The philosophy of creativity reflects Dembowski's attempt to free himself from Hegelian panlogism; he shifts the center of creative development from idea to being itself, to "sentient reality." In the spirit of socialist ideas, Dembowski developed the theory of the process of "socializations," according to which historical development consists in the expansion of the bounds of social freedom. This freedom is realized in the political and social emancipation of the popular masses and through the abolition of private ownership. In aesthetics, Dembowski laid the foundation for revolutionary romanticism.

This year, 2014, things were even more complicated with 2 days of top quality action featuring a potential upset of the year and a potential fighter of the year, among others. To put it into perspective, those who decided to jump ahead may have gotten numerous awards very wrong and almost certainly 1 award wrong by simply being a little bit too impatient.
We'll start with that award, the Fight of the Year award for 2014. Going into the final week of the year there were 4 men in the running with one of those men having a fighter in the finals days of the year. It was that man who literally grab the award at the last minute and made a statement that saw boxing fans around the world sit up, take notice and began talking about both him and the super Flyweight division.
Firstly the runners up:
Manny Pacquiao- The Filipino congressman had a somewhat quiet year but yet one that really was worth making a note of as he beat two unbeaten world champions with a combined record of 51-0-0-1. They were Timothy Bradley, who he beat back in April, and Chris Algieri, who he beat in November. On paper the wins, both by decision, look great though in reality they were expected wins.
Gennady Golovkin- The Kazakh power puncher scored 3 wins this year, all by stoppage, including a an eye catching 3rd round KO against former unified champion Daniel Geale and opening round stoppage over tough Mexican Marco Antonio Rubio. Sadly Golovkin's issue for the year is that he is simply too good for the other Middleweights out there and even the top guys in the division don't really make for appealing fights with him. He, like Pacquiao, beat men he was supposed and although he did quickly, a combined 12 rounds, it does feel like he is treading water in the hope of finding a suitable challenge.
Amnat Ruenroeng- This Thai was a relative unknown when the year began though he quickly became one of the 2014 break out fighters and a genuine Fighter of the the Year with 3 notable scalps. The first of those was tough Filipino Rocky Fuentes in January for the IBF Flyweight title, in what was Amnat's 12th professional bout, just 4 months later he was in Japan where he out pointed the then unbeaten Kazuto Ioka in a genuine upset. He ended the year with a very narrow win over McWilliams Arroyo. On paper a 3-0 record against those 3 is very impressive though the controversy around his win over Arroyo has been a black mark against him.
The winner:
We suspect you may have been able to guess but the winner is.... the Monster from Kanagawa Naoya Inoue. Inoue, like Golovkin, went 3-0 (3) for the year and though unlike Golovkin he managed to make a splash and then another splash. The first came when he set a Japanese record by winning a world title in 6th professional bout, battering Adrian Hernandez into submission in April to claim the WBC Light Flyweight title. A weak defence in September may not have been great but a jump up 2 divisions to Super Flyweight in December saw him decimating Omar Andres Narvaez to become a 2 weight world champion in a world record setting 8 professional bouts.
Whilst the result on paper were excellent what was even better were the performances and watching his beat down of Narvaez was a joy on the eye. It was clinical, destructive, and even a bit magical. We know a lot of fans world wide have taken notice of Inoue now and we hope that their interest will expand beyond Inoue and help fans get into the Super Flyweight division and the rising Japanese super prospects such as his young brother Takuma Inoue and the equally fast rising Kosei Tanaka.

Irony and Excellence after the Enlightenment? Yeah, Right. Sure.
Thursday, January 17, 2013
5:30 pm Reception; 6:00 pm Discussion
Irony and Excellence after the Enlightenment? Yeah, Right. Sure.
Matthew Girson and H. Peter Steeves
Matthew Girson, Associate Professor of Art, Media and Design at DePaul, and H. Peter Steeves,Professor of Philosophy at DePaul, will lead a public participatory discussion about art's status in a postmodern age.
When modernity and the Enlightenment project revealed their final stages—a move toward irony, a rejection of authority, and a willingness to put the past aside—what became of art? And what became of our ability to talk about excellence, merit, and quality in art? An ironic culture may seem different from all that came before it, and yet, there are ways in which irony has, in some form or another, always been part of Western culture. Together, Girson and Steeves hope to flesh out some of the important questions concerning the status of art—and questions of value—in a fully-ironic postmodern age.
The experimental format for this event is a "public and participatory discussion." Girson and Steeves will not read prepared lectures but will, instead, have a conversation with each other. After the groundwork is laid, the audience will be invited to join in the conversation rather than wait for the traditional Q&A period. It is hoped that this format will allow everyone to think together about irony and excellence, toward a common goal, with a common purpose.
Matthew Girson, a 2005-2006 Humanities Center Faculty Fellow, is Associate Professor and teaches all levels of painting and drawing in DePaul's Department of Art, Media and Design. He also teaches for the Honors program and has offered courses in the First Year Program. His artworks have been exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally. Recently, an article that he wrote on Holocaust representation appeared in Lessons & Legacies XII, published jointly by the Holocaust Education Foundation and Northwestern University.
H. Peter Steeves is a Professor in the department of Philosophy at DePaul University and a 2001-2002 Humanities Center Faculty Fellow. His main areas of teaching and research include phenomenology, ethics, social-political philosophy, and the philosophy of science. His books include The Things Themselves: Phenomenology and the Return to the Everyday, (SUNY Press, 2006), Animal Others: On Ethics, Ontology, and Animal Life (SUNY, 1999), and Founding Community: A Phenomenological-Ethical Inquiry (Kluwer, 1998). Steeves is currently working on a variety of research topics, including the origin of life, postmodern aesthetics, the nature of mourning, and cosmology.
This event is free and open to the public. Parking is available at the Sheffield Parking Facility located at 2335 N. Sheffield and in the Clifton Parking Deck located at 2330 N. Clifton. Contact DePaul Parking Services (773-325-7275) for rates.

For the current quarter, the company forecast earnings of 86 cents a share on revenue of at least $1.88 billion. Analysts currently expect 86 cents and $1.88 billion, respectively.

Barcelona defeat costs punter £1million on 1p bet
Betting hard-luck stories are nothing new but when arguably the world's best football team lets you down for a £1million reward on a 1p punt, it's got to be particularly sickening.
Before yesterday evening's kick-offs, Simon Torres Pike had correctly predicted the exact scorelines in all six of the Champions League last-16 matches that had been played over the last week.
Two more correct scorelines would bag him a mill in a special promotional bet.
Agonisingly, Simon had the Galatasaray score spot on but when Kevin-Prince Boateng netted for AC Milan against Barcelona, the dream was over – Simon had gone 2-0 in Barca's favour but the hosts eventually earned a shock 2-0 themselves.
Bookmakers Coral, however, were not mean enough to leave Simon empty-handed and have agreed to send him on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Nou Camp for the return leg.
Gallant loser Simon wrote on his Twitter account (@SimonTorresPike): 'Yeh i am gutted a bit about the 1m but on a brighter not, I'm going to nou camp.'
I can't imagine he'll be cheering for the home side, though.

There's Puerto Rican food. And then there's the "Other Puerto Rican Food." That's how Juan and Elizabeth Aponte categorize the style of food they love to eat and cook.
The owners of the tiny Lakewood cafe, Old San Juan, have been serving straightforward Puerto Rican dishes like pernil and mofongo since 2010. At the end of this month, they'll expand to OSJ International, a Lakewood cafe that will serve "Other Puerto Rican Food" influenced by a grab bag of cultures. They plan to open that restaurant around Aug. 30. They intend to keep Old San Juan running just as it always has. And guess what? Another restaurant serving Puerto Rican cuisine also is on the way to Tacoma.
Juan Aponte calls his style of cooking at OSJ International a bit more refined than what diners will find at his more casually themed Old San Juan, which serves slow-cooked, fried or braised meats paired with rice and plantains, in typical Puerto Rican fashion.
At OSJ International, dishes will reflect a confluence of cultures - Korean, Argentinian, Italian and other farflung flavors. Aponte acknowledged that the concept sounds scattered - and it is. But he made this point - Puerto Rican cuisine, as with most island cuisines, was fashioned over many generations from a multitude of influences from Spain, Africa and beyond. Modern Puerto Rican food has been similarly influenced, just on a larger global scale.
Until recently, Old San Juan appeared to be the only South Sound cafe serving Puerto Rican food. With OSJ, that brings the tally to two. And here's a third I've been writing about recently - Soul will open this week in the Proctor neighborhood. That restaurant will feature Puerto Rican cuisine on a menu sharing space with Cuban and Dominican Republic cuisines, as well as other kinds of Latin food and Southern American style soul food. At Soul, Puerto Rican pernil will be served alongside Peruvian tamales and Southern style fried catfish with greens.
Soul had planned on opening Aug. 16, but a permit delay moved the opening to Aug. 23.
Natural Allah and Jennifer Zaskorski are the co-owners, they also own Vinum and Wine Lounge in downtown Tacoma. In the kitchen at Soul is Maria Torres, a Le Cordon Bleu graduate. Soul will operate in the upstairs dining space that was formerly home to the Old House Cafe.

Jim Carrey has been making the rounds with different headlines these few days. A few weeks back we highlighted Carrey's painting skills. This week Carrey made the most noise for himself when he hit NYFW and gave E! News a one of kind interview. For a talk with Sway In The Morning, Tommy Davidson spoke about what he's been up to and gave people an update on Carrey. "He's good, he was such in a relax mode the last time I saw him," Davidson shared.
The conversation of course goes to talk about In Living Color, Hollywood, and still getting love after all these years.

Samsung has been running ads recently promoting the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 featuring a fictional game developer making a potential hit game called Unicorn Apocalypse. Along the way they have foibles and follies involving Samsung phones and the guy who played Josh on 30 Rock. Well, life imitates art, as Samsung has published an actual Unicorn Apocalypse game. Through a contest with Gamespot and GameSalad, Liquid Gameworks has won $25,000 for their take on the end of all days with unicorns.
And in a situation that proves that Samsung is either wholly unaware of their reputation or are unparalleled masters of self-parody, the game they chose as the winning submission is basically a Robot Unicorn Attack clone. Adult Swim Games, the publisher of RUA, not only has tweeted mockingly about the game without mentioning it by name, but they also aired a bump (unavailable on Bumpworthy, which catalogs these) mocking Samsung for it. That's a bold move if only because Samsung advertises on Adult Swim quite regularly.
Still, it's really quite hilarious considering Samsung's recent history. Unicorn Apocalypse is available for free from Google Play. Don't count on an iOS version.

CDB may beat Agricultural Bank to listing
Related topics
Market rumour has it that Agricultural Bank of China is ready to release its long-delayed reform plan - but it seems that China Development Bank is likely to beat it to the finish line.
Mainland media reported yesterday that CDB's plan to transform itself from a state-directed policy lender into a fully fledged commercial bank had been approved by the State Council and that the policy lender would seek a public listing once shareholding and corporate governance reforms had been completed.
'CDB could conceivably list this year, if that is its aim. You would be surprised how fast some of these mainland banks go to market,' said Charlene Chu, a China banking analyst at Fitch Ratings.
'Listing CDB would certainly be much easier than listing Agricultural Bank, as CDB is already one of the better-performing lenders and doesn't need a lot of deep reform.'
CDB, which provides low-interest loans to domestic infrastructure projects and financial support for mainland firms investing in projects overseas, announced its plan to commercialise a year ago. In December, it received US$20 billion from China Investment Corp, the first step towards restructuring.
The challenge for CDB remains convincing potential investors it can be a genuine commercial player.
As a fund source for infrastructure projects, CDB is a major competitor to state commercial lenders such as China Construction Bank Corp. Last year's US$3 billion deal for a 3.1 per cent stake in Barclays was also designed to bolster its commercial expertise, with the British lender believed to be helping CDB with its fledgling investment banking unit.
But CDB's unique ties with Beijing will make it hard to convince sceptics it can put commercial goals ahead of policy matters.
Wholly owned by the Ministry of Finance, CDB is the only non-regulatory financial institution with ministerial status, reporting directly to the State Council and getting unconditional liquidity support from the central bank.
'Why would the government want to turn a policy bank into a listed vehicle? It already has plenty of capital from the state and there are a host of other big banks which already focus on genuinely commercial activities,' said Dominic Chan, a banking analyst at brokerage CLSA.

Joo Won sheds his Good Doctor image to release his inner bad boy
Actor Joo Won, who recently finished filming Good Doctor, has quickly dropped his sweet and innocent Park Shi On image and turned on his bad boy charms! Joo Won went black and white for his latest pictorial in the November issue of The Star, and reminded us all once again where he came from.
I don't know about you, but this is the Joo Won I know. Totally chic looking with a bad boy edge. If you're like me, you were introduced to Joo Won through the love to hate character Ma Jun-ahhh in Baker King Kim Tak Goo. With Joo Won playing such love able and sweet characters as Park Shi On, and being great at it, you tend to forget how amazing and fantastic he is in those darker roles. It's photo shoots like this that make you go "Oh yeahh, he's Gaksitalllll (Bridal Mask).
I would be lying if I told you all I wasn't thinking of SHINee teaser photos and Amish Mafia right now.
Yes! I hope his next role is a dark and seedy one!
What kind of role would you like to see Joo Won tackle next? Comment below!

New phones from Google are not nearly as exciting as a new iPhone, but there is still quite a bit of buzz. Most people want to know what is going on with the new Android platform and want a chance to play with a new phone. Those who like Android will be all over the new Nexus 5 that will be released fairly soon. You may want to take a few minutes and get yourself acquainted with the phone before it comes out.
A few things to note
There are always new features and things to make special note of when a new phone is released. With the release of the new Nexus 5, you can expect Google phones to be getting even better than ever before. According to ZDNet, there are seven things you need to know about the new phone:
1. LG and Google are still partnering. That means you can expect all the good things from LG to still be put in every Nexus 5 phone purchased. With great stuff on the inside, the phone will be perfect for most people.
2. LTE Support. The Nexus 4 was a let down for a lot of people because of the lack of LTE support. That is why Google worked so hard to produce a phone that had it.
3. Better than the Nexus 4. With a bigger screen, better processor, and wireless charging, the Nexus 5 is basically just a small step up from the Nexus 4.
4. More storage options. It is expected that there will be bigger storage options for the new phone. The past phones only had 8GB and 16GB storage capacity. The new one will likely have a 32GB option.
5. Better camera and battery. The battery life should be better with the new phone, which is a big deal for most people. Also, the camera will have much better image quality. It is another thing people look for in a good phone now and days.
6. Color options. It is expected that Google is keeping up with the Jones and will have many colors available for the Nexus 5. If it were not to offer the option of colors, it may start falling behind other manufacturers.
7. Kit Kat operating system. The new Kit Kat operating system will probably be on the Nexus 5. If not, people would be pretty upset. Why get the latest and greatest new phone if it doesn't even come with the latest and greatest operating system?
Overall expectations: should you get it?
If you liked the Nexus 4 quite a bit, then it would certainly be worth your time to try and get the Nexus 5. It is a little bit of an improvement, though it seems like the new phone will not be much better. Like I said, it is only worth getting the 5 if you really liked the 4. It seems phone companies now and days are running out of inventive ideas to try and get us better technology, or maybe a cell phone with the internet at your fingertips is the best it gets.

RAID5 is never an option. Especially when using that amount of storage.
