The following are all unused radio messages from the Inner Persephone level of BioShock 2. They are listed depending on which version of the game they were removed from.
Older VersionEdit
01. Augustus Sinclair - Persephone PenalEdit
Persephone Penal. End o' the road. This institution was Rapture's dirtiest little secret. I bet against Ryan's vision o' harmony - offered him a quiet little place to send anybody who wasn't workin' out. I ah, imagine you were among them, sport. No hard feelings, I hope. Now, Utopia shouldn't have much use for a political prison, now, should it? But ya do business as long as I have, and you learn to pick a brand name from the writin' on the wall. (Chuckle) Then...disaster. Sofia Lamb was transferred down...she carried a lotta clout with these wild idealistic types. Before long, she ousted me, reducin' me to a go-between. Inmates been runnin' the asylum ever since...
01b. Augustus Sinclair - Dirtiest Little SecretEdit
Persephone Penal. End o' the road, kid. This institution was Rapture's dirtiest little secret. I bet against Ryan's vision o' harmony - offered him a quiet little place to send anybody who wasn't workin' out. I...I imagine you were among them, sport. No hard feelings, I hope. Now, utopia shouldn't have much use for a political prison, now should it? But ya do business as long as I have...and you learn to pick a brand name from the writin' on the wall.
02. Augustus Sinclair - ReunitedEdit
Well, would you look at that. Father an' daughter, reunited. Makes a man a lil' misty, no lie.
03. Augustus Sinclair - The Escape PlanEdit
Now, did you ever wonder how I was plannin' on headin' topside, after our glorious victory? Well, I built this place. Head on upstairs and I'll show ya.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Come Up to the PlatformEdit
Come on upstairs to the Docking Platform. I want you and young Eleanor to meet the missus!
01b. Augustus Sinclair - Look OutsideEdit
She's just out the window there.
01c. Augustus Sinclair - Look OutsideEdit
She's just out the window there - Eleanor's found her already.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Look Out the WindowEdit
Now, take a look out the window there.
02. Augustus Sinclair - Look Outside!Edit
Look out the window, kid! Eleanor's found my surprise already.
01b. Augustus Sinclair - Lady LifeboatEdit
There she is. Allow me to introduce you to my lady love! She's a...lifeboat o' sorts - designed to float me outta here in style. An' if Big Sis there can keep you breathin' like she says - we can all escape together.
01. Brigid Tenenbaum - Trying to HelpEdit
I am no longer with Sinclair in the train car, Herr Delta. I search Lamb's office for something that can help, und will prepare the Little Ones we have saved to join you, when you deal with her.
01. Brigid Tenenbaum - Trying to HelpEdit
I am no longer with Sinclair in the train car, Herr Delta. I am in Lamb's office searching for anything helpful...but I cannot trust you with the girls. When you deal with Lamb, I will return the few I have saved to the surface.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Lamb Pushed Me OutEdit
Now I ran this penal colony as a business — an' a successful one, I might add. But then...disaster. Sofia Lamb was transferred down...she carried a whole lotta clout with these wild idealistic types. Before long, she ousted me, reducin' me to a go-between. Inmates been runnin' the asylum ever since...
01. Augustus Sinclair - Nothing But a Pipe DreamEdit
This place was proof positive that Rapture was nothin' but a pipe dream, son...just like I told Ryan from day one. Poor Andy hated me for bein' right, but he couldn't let his political rivals go back to the surface an' tell the world. So he gave 'em to me. I had my own little captive think-tank right here, and lord - how the money rolled in. Until Doc Lamb was sent down to darken my doorstep.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - Big SisterEdit
I've located mother. She's hiding out in the control tower, watching us.
01b. Eleanor LambEdit
I've located mother. She's hiding out in Sinclair's vessel, watching us. We will have to deal with her.
01. Sofia Lamb - She Will Be PerfectEdit
Suddenly quite articulate, isn't she, Delta? Through ADAM, she bears the memories of all of Rapture. What is personality to us... is a mere arrangement of data points for her. When you are gone, she will be perfect.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Two for the Price of OneEdit
Sounds like revenge an' escape are comin' two for the price o' one...once we get onto that lifeboat. I don't feature the idea o' Lamb usin' it herself, though...how does she expect to stand against you?
01. Augustus Sinclair - Breaking CurfewEdit
Right, Lamb woulda locked the place down the second you showed, an' that means the lifeboat as well! We can cancel the curfew from the holdin' wing. Get yourself down there quick as you can — while I attend to a little business.
01b. Augustus Sinclair - Breaking CurfewEdit
Right, Lamb woulda locked the place down the second you showed, an' that means the lifeboat as well! We can cancel the curfew from the holdin' wing and deal with Doc Lamb directly. Get yourself there quick as you can now- while I attend to a little business.
02. Sofia Lamb - DNA AssimilationEdit
The Little Sisters seem ghoulish to the eye, Delta... but ADAM causes them no permanent damage... indeed, they assimilate foreign DNA as naturally as breathing. I used you to take Eleanor away from Ryan, hoping to make her human again. But we both know she is something much greater.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Warden Has the KeyEdit
That was Warden Weir — he's got the key to every wing in the buildin'...don't let him get away!
01b. Augustus Sinclair - Warden Has the KeysEdit
That was Warden Weir - he's tryin' to beat you to the holdin' wing! Don't let him get away!
01. Augustus Sinclair - You're Locked InEdit
Warden's locked you in! Son of a bitch used to be in my employ!
03. Augustus Sinclair - Warden's in the WatchtowerEdit
He's holed up in the watchtower...quick now, find a way in there - or flush 'im out to get that key.
02. Augustus Sinclair - Warden is WaitingEdit
Warden aims to wait you out, kid...figures you'll go out o' your head again before you manage a jailbreak. And if that happens...we're all dead in the water.
02b. Augustus Sinclair - Warden is WaitingEdit
Warden aims to wait you out, kid...figures you'll succumb to your injuries before you manage a jailbreak. And if that happens...well, we're all dead in the water.
03b. Augustus Sinclair - Warden's in the WatchtowerEdit
He's holed up in the watchtower - there's a lever up there that'll open every lock in the place, includin' the one on the lifeboat. But you'll have to break in there to throw it. Or, flush him out to open the door.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Maintenance TunnelEdit
Huh. So there's a maintenance tunnel to the warden's watchtower...an' one o' my guests was plannin' to use it. Sounds promisin'. Take a look.
02. Augustus Sinclair - Cracked the CodeEdit
Looks like some poor soul cracked the code to the watchtower. You've got the Warden dead to rights. Go say hello.
03. Augustus Sinclair - Half the CodeEdit
That's half the keycode to the watchtower, I expect. See if you can sniff out the rest.
03b. Augustus Sinclair - The Other Half of the CodeEdit
Now that's the other half o' the code! You pieced it together, kid. Now ol' Warden Weir is yours! Get up there!
04. Augustus Sinclair - Code in the CellsEdit
See that keypad on the door? Lamb's people would have a new code since my tenure — but convicts never change. I'd hazard that at least one of 'em knows it. Poke around in the cells.
05. Augustus Sinclair - Up to the StairwayEdit
That stairway could get you to the tower. What's left of it. Maybe you could divine a way to give yourself a leg up onto it.
06. Augustus Sinclair - Useful BoxEdit
That box looks light enough to move. Could make an ideal steppin' stone.
07. Augustus Sinclair - Good Job, Sport!Edit
Indeed. Look atcha - spliced up to hell an' gone, but still a smart cookie.
08. Augustus Sinclair - What Can You Get?Edit
Mm-hm. Now that the back door's open, see what kinda mischief you can muster. Anything you can get inside there from afar?
09. Augustus Sinclair - Let's Get the WardenEdit
Outstandin'. Now head on over there an' have a word with the Warden.
10b. Augustus Sinclair - Spook Out the WardenEdit
Looks like a window into the back of the Tower. The Warden's a coward, see if you can spook him out somehow.
11a. Augustus Sinclair - Dig AroundEdit
Every prisoner on God's green earth spends at least an hour a day dreamin' of escape. Dig around in the cells.
11b. Augustus Sinclair - Look for the CodeEdit
Now, the Warden had a keycode lock on the door to the tower. Prisoners nearly tied their necks in knots tryin' to catch a glimpse o' those numbers. Maybe try tossin' a few cells.
11c. Augustus Sinclair - Look for a TunnelEdit
Now a trapped rat can chew through nearly anything, you give him time. The place is bound to have a hole or two. Look for a good place to hide a tunnel.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Warden's Getting AwayEdit
Warden's flying the coop! Track him down and grab that key!
02. Augustus Sinclair - The Warden Has the KeysEdit
That was Warden Weir — he's got the key to every wing in the buildin'... don't let him get away!
02a. Augustus Sinclair - The Warden Has the Lockdown KeyEdit
That's Warden Weir. He's got the lockdown key — hunt him down!
03a. Augustus Sinclair - Lamb's Stealing the LifeboatEdit
Doc Lamb's on the lifeboat. I can see her out there, tryin' to start it from the inside! The sick ol' spider wants it for herself! Hurry, kid, we gotta get in there. Looks like revenge an' escape are comin' two for the price o' one...
03a. Augustus Sinclair - Lamb's Stealing the LifeboatEdit
Doc Lamb's on the lifeboat now... I can see her out there, tryin' to start it from the inside.
03b. Augustus Sinclair - Lamb's Stealing the LifeboatEdit
Doc Lamb's tryin' to take the lifeboat for herself! Hurry kid, we gotta get in there.
04a. Augustus Sinclair - Hack Darts in the PneumoEdit
Out of hacking darts? I've gotcha, kid — check the Pneumo.
04b. Augustus Sinclair - Hack Darts in the PneumoEdit
More darts comin' through the pneumo, sport. But I'm takin' 'em out of your cut.
04c. Augustus Sinclair - Stop Messing Around!Edit
Quit playin' around out there, you're just throwing our money away.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Keep AwayEdit
Don't come back — she's — (scuffling, then static)
02a. Sofia Lamb - The Bait is the TrapEdit
As you can see, Delta, Sinclair took our bait. Locked within his own interests, he assumed that I wanted to steal his beloved craft without Eleanor, and made me the focus of his attention. By the time you arrive... the lifeboat will be quite inoperable. Sinclair, I'm afraid, will have no need of one.
02a. Sofia Lamb - Before You DieEdit
Every moment tears Eleanor further from me, Delta. Soon, this father obsession will end her. You have left me without want... before you die, I will take all that you hold dear. Sinclair is just another body in your wake.
02b. Sofia Lamb - ApologyEdit
Delta, allow me to apologize - in my haste to dispatch your friend Sinclair, I neglected to provide you opportunity to bid him farewell. Though, given the circumstances, I don't suppose he would've heard you.
05. Augustus Sinclair - Lift the LockdownEdit
Lamb's locked down the whole institute, son — includin' the gangway leadin' to the lifeboat. But you can reverse the lockdown from the holdin' wing. Head that way — now.
05a. Augustus Sinclair - Lift the Lockdown from the Holding WingEdit
Listen son, we're going to have to work quickly. We can reverse this lockdown from the holding wing. Eleanor knows the way. Get moving.
05b. Augustus Sinclair - Daddy's GirlEdit
That Eleanor's a pistol, chief. Like father, like daughter, I s'pose!
06. Augustus Sinclair - Hack the DoorEdit
You oughta be able to hack that door open, sport.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Get the Key from the WardenEdit
Looks like the Warden ran outta luck. Go see if you can't collect the key from what's left of the poor sucker.
02. Augustus Sinclair - Warden in the WatchtowerEdit
Aw, you're locked in! Warden aims to wait you out...either your body crumbles, or the bombs go off an' we all die with ya. He's holed up in the watchtower... break in, or flush 'im out to get that key.
02a. Augustus Sinclair - Warden is in the WatchtowerEdit
Warden aims to wait you out kid. He's holed up in the watchtower. Either find a way in there or flush him out. Quick — before those charges go off.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Escapable PrisonEdit
Very nice. But next time I build a prison, remind me to fill the walls with ornery vipers.
02. Augustus Sinclair - Look in SolitaryEdit
Now from what I heard after Lamb kicked me out, you were quite the unruly guest down here. Kept you in Solitary. Maybe you stashed somethin' for yourself down there?
03. Augustus Sinclair - Look for a TunnelEdit
Place was... was fulla holes, even back in my time here... look for a tunnel, there's gotta be one leads you in here...
01. Sofia Lamb - Casual KillEdit
What's one more casual kill, eh, Delta? All moral reasoning trumped by the survival imperative.
02a. Augustus Sinclair - Be PreparedEdit
Good riddance. But you might not favor this next bit. Endin' the lockdown means... well, it means releasin' all the prisoners. Make yerself ready before you put in that key.
02b. Augustus Sinclair - Be PreparedEdit
Good riddance. But you might not favor this next bit. Endin' the lockdown means... well, it means releasin' all the prisoners. Make yerself ready before you throw that switch.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Open All the CellsEdit
Good riddance. But you might not favor this next bit. Endin' the lockdown means...well, it means openin' all the cells. Make yerself ready before you put in that key.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Get to the Docking PlatformEdit
Lockdown's over...I can see all hell breakin' loose. We can blow out the ballast water now, an' our vessel will be light enough to rocket straight up to the surface like a cork — with us on board. All you have to do...is get back to the Dockin' Platform alive.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Kamikaze DaddiesEdit
It looks like Lamb's managed to leash the rest o' that original Big Daddy line o' yours...turn 'em into some kinda kami kaze zealots. Don't let 'em get close!
01a. Sofia Lamb - The First Living UtopianEdit
Eleanor was to be a composit of all Rapture's genius...the first living Utopian, serving the world at large with no regard to herself... To force consciousness on such a being...is to tear its wings away. That was your gift to her, Delta...just as she hoped...you must be very proud.
01. Sofia Lamb - A Clean SlateEdit
Delta, the very birthplace of ADAM lies beneath this facility. Exposure to it has made my daughter the ultimate source of change. Think! A clean slate for the species. All the old lusts will be made obsolete.
01. Sofia Lamb - A MartyrEdit
You turn my stomach, Delta. You suffer the gravest of human atrocities, yet you will not accept death to abolish them. I resolved to do so at six years of age. So be it. Die as you lived, a martyr to the self.
01a. Sofia Lamb - A Martyr to the SelfEdit
You sadden me, Delta. You suffer the gravest of human atrocities, standing in direct testament to the tyranny of the ego - yet you will not accept death to abolish it. So be it. Die as you lived, a martyr to the self.
01b. Eleanor Lamb - Small CostEdit
And what of me, mother? What was it you wanted your child to become? "The People's Daughter". A living vault for the genes of the best and brightest...at the small cost of my mind.
01. Sofia Lamb - I Chose YouEdit
Do you know why I chose you to protect her, Delta?...Rapture had turned her into that sub-human thing, so I...I compelled you to end her pain. But afterward, with only the barest sliver of sentience, you rescued her from the deep, miraculously alive. You were a natural father. And now I am forced to put you down.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - You Made Him an AnimalEdit
Tell him the rest, mother. He was also a witness. And you couldn't have him spreading the word of what you had done to your adoring flock. So you made him an animal.
01. Sofia Lamb - I Chose YouEdit
I chose you for the program to punish you, Delta...you took my daughter's life for ADAM...and then she miraculously returned. What fate could be more poetic but to make you her eternal bodyguard, aided by my own little altruism cocktail? And now...I am forced to put you down.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - You Closed the DoorEdit
Tell him the rest, mother...you wanted me to die, after they changed me into a freak. You saw him in there with me, and you closed the door.
02. Augustus Sinclair - Come to the Docking PlatformEdit
You're back, and with young Eleanor to boot — maybe it ain't over! Get up here to the Dockin' Platform.
04. Augustus Sinclair - Another Bomb Went OffEdit
That's another charge gone... no survivin' this fall, chief... hurry!
05. Augustus Sinclair - Another Bomb GoneEdit
That's another bomb, son! I don't know how much longer the ol' place can hold!
01. Augustus Sinclair - Not Looking So GoodEdit
That patch-up job you gave yourself seems to be...wearin' thin, son. I hope for your sake that young Eleanor's got a daisy of a down card left to play...or you're not gonna make it outta here.
07. Augustus Sinclair - Don't Look So GoodEdit
You don't look so good, son. I hope for your sake that young Eleanor's got a daisy of a down card left to play... or you're not gonna make it outta here.
01. Eleanor Lamb - Must Deal with LambEdit
As long as Mother is near, I won't be able to preserve you... We must deal with her and escape before you fall apart...
02. Eleanor Lamb - Hold On FatherEdit
Hold on, Father...
03. Eleanor Lamb - You're Not Going to Die HereEdit
Come on Father, you're not going to die in this hole!
04. Eleanor Lamb - The Only WayEdit
We have to get you out of Rapture Father. It's the only way I can save you now...
05. Eleanor Lamb - Steady, FatherEdit
Steady father, don't let go now...
06. Eleanor Lamb - Hold OnEdit
I won't let her take you from me again Father, Hold on.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - Raising the LifeboatEdit
I... could boil away the water myself and get the lifeboat to rise, but I will need a great deal of ADAM to generate that much heat. The rest of the Little Sisters will have to be sacrificed. Head to the Pediatric Wards.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Fresh Out of PlansEdit
Oh Christ, don't tell me she...Lamb's bombed out the ballast compressors... We-we-we can't blow out the ballast water, which means the lifeboat won't float...son, I-I'm sorry but I-I'm fresh outta plans.
01. Sofia Lamb - A Boiler Reservoir Without a Source of HeatEdit
Oh Augustus...Delta can hear me, so I know you can. Do you take me for a half-wit? I saw you coming from the moment Delta rescued you. Now...correct me if I'm wrong, but a boiler reservoir without a source of heat...
02. Sofia Lamb - Is Just So Much FloodwaterEdit
...is just so much floodwater.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - Raising the LifeboatEdit
Father, I can boil away the water if I generate enough heat, but I can't do it alone. I think it's time to liberate the rest of mother's little family. Find the pediatric wards. I will meet you there.
01b. Eleanor Lamb - I Can Boil ItEdit
Father, listen. I know what we have to do. I can boil away the water if I generate enough heat, but I can't do it alone. I think it's time to liberate the rest of mother's... family. Find the pediatric wards. I will meet you there.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - Raising the LifeboatEdit
Father, I can burn off the water myself, but you of all people know that ADAM energy has a cost. The rest of mother's little brood will have to be sacrificed.Find the pediatric wards. I will meet you there.
01a. Augustus Sinclair - She Thinks the World of YouEdit
Sounds like Eleanor's plannin' to juice up with enough ADAM to boil off the ballast water herself. Lamb's been experimentin' on Little Sisters for years...I expect Eleanor means to find 'em and deal with 'em your way. Thinks the world o' you, that one.
01b. Augustus Sinclair - She's a PistolEdit
That Eleanor's a pistol, son. Not sure if you're the fatherly type — but this plan o' hers just could work...deal with Lamb, launch the lifeboat...and let the money roll in!
01. Eleanor Lamb - With Their HelpEdit
I'll wake the children up - they're stronger than they know...with their help, I should be able to boil off the water and get us out of here. Then, I'll offer them the chance to become human again.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Re-evaluate His PositionEdit
I have to say, I...I never really knew the Sisters were still human under there. Might could...well, might could make a man re-evaluate his position...
01. Sofia Lamb - With My FormulaEdit
Do you see now, Delta? My daughter can create them so easily from my formula, and ADAM is as natural in their bodies as water. With my formula, they will not hurt. They will not lust. They will not die...
01. Brigid Tenenbaum - Be ProudEdit
You see? She learns from what you have done...as any daughter. You have reason to be proud.
01. Brigid Tenenbaum - Cares NothingEdit
You see? She learns from what you have done...as any daughter. You cared nothing for her innocence...und she cares nothing for theirs.
01. Sofia Lamb - Voluntary EvolutionEdit
Natural Selection failed us, Delta, but Eleanor is already evolving by choice. We must only help her to value society's needs over her own. As the first true Utopian, her identity will be authored by consensus. And when the last of us are gone...Eleanor and her children will know a harmony that you and I can scarcely imagine.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Lamb's Plan for EleanorEdit
So...Doc Lamb means to turn Eleanor into some kinda...one-woman collective? Like a split personality or something' with hundreds o' different commie geniuses in there? God damn, like the poor girl wasn't crazy enough already...
01. Sofia Lamb - Is Sinclair Trustworthy?Edit
Do you think I instituted the abuse of prisoners here, Delta? Rented you out as a laboratory rat? That policy was the brainchild of your dear companion Sinclair. Do you really think he plans to share the profits of his grave-robbery with you?
01. Augustus Sinclair - Lamb's Not So CleanEdit
Listen to her sermonize! But things weren't so rosy for Lamb's little collective farm down here - look around. She kept feedin' Ryan more an' more o' her people into the Big Daddy program to keep the rest alive...and in exchange, she'd get to keep an orphan or two for her own Little Sister project.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Ryan Was WorseEdit
Now sport, I know by now you must be considerin' me some kinda heartless ne'er do well. I built this place, an' I did rent you out to those clinical Plasmid trials up at Fontaine. But Ryan woulda put you out an airlock...an' told ya to walk home. Sure, I made you buy each an' every breath at a loss - but at least you still got the wind to curse my name with.
01. Augustus Sinclair - On My Way to the LifeboatEdit
Look outside, sport - It's yours truly. I'm on my way to the lifeboat by railcar...and I've got my nest egg aboard!
01. Augustus Sinclair - On My WayEdit
Alright, sport - I'm headin' toward the lifeboat by railcar. And the best part is, I'm stocked to the gills with scientific miracles and wonderments. Rapture's Bounty, partner. Our ticket to the high life, soon as you deal with Lamb and we head topside.
01a. Brigid Tenenbaum - Moving to the LifeboatEdit
Herr Delta. I am thinking it is safe now for me to move to the lifeboat. Do not worry about me, I have stowed away before. You must think only of the launch.
01b. Brigid Tenenbaum - Moving to the PodEdit
Herr Delta. I am thinking it is safe now for me to move to the lifeboat. I will bring the girls you have saved - we will stow away among the cargo. Do not worry about us, think only of the launch!
01. Brigid Tenenbaum - I Will StayEdit
I will not be joining you, Herr Delta...it seems that death is too easy for me. There is no freedom from my sins. Lamb's people know of the Little Ones...und even if she dies, they will try to carry on the plan. I can not let this be. I will remain behind...alone. There is much ADAM here in the water...it will be slow to gather, but it will keep me alive until the last breath of Rapture is released into the sea. The cycle ends with me, no matter what I become. Goodbye, Herr Delta. Und good luck.
01. Augustus Sinclair - You, Me, and SisEdit
Brigid Tenenbaum. Made o' stronger stuff than I imagined. Just you, me, and Eleanor now, kid...
01. Sofia Lamb - A LiabilityEdit
I told you Augustus was a liability to you, Delta. His precious train-car full of loot has a bomb affixed to it by my agents. I was hoping I wouldn't need such a blunt instrument, but... If you proceed, Delta, I will detonate the car as you pass, and you will vanish forever into the abyss below.
02. Sofia Lamb - Stop!Edit
Augustus, don't! I...
01. Augustus Sinclair - Time to Settle UpEdit
No sir. Now, son, you listen. You take young Eleanor to my lifeboat and you get her topside. Doc Lamb is no kind of momma to her. Now I'm anything but a saint...but Lamb has me cold. An' well, I've been watchin' all you...an' young Eleanor have endured. An' perhaps it's havin' to see it all through your eyes an'...if I'm honest, more'n a little o' that hurt was on my account. Anyway. I reckon it's high time we settle up. Please consider this my fare-thee-well.
02. Augustus Sinclair - Last MoveEdit
Now, Doctor Lamb, I know you can hear me. An' I was hopin to see you about a little problem I've got.
03a. Augustus Sinclair - The Last WordEdit
I have this powerful fear o' fallin, Doctor, an' I hope you can help me shake it. One thing, though. There's this lever in here labeled "emergency cable release"? An' I hear the pit beneath me's near bottomless. Bomb wouldn't do much harm down there. So, ah...you might have to talk fast.
03b. Augustus Sinclair - The Last WordEdit
I have this powerful fear o' fallin', Doctor, ever since Granddaddy drowned in the Big Ditch back in Panama. I hope you can help me shake it, Doc. One thing, though. There's this lever in here labeled "emergency cable release"? An' I hear the pit beneath me's near bottomless. So, ah...you might have to talk fast.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - Sinclair's SacrificeEdit
No, he mustn't...
01b. Eleanor Lamb - SacrificeEdit
Mother was so certain he would betray us. All this talk of sacrifice, and she was the last to see it in him.
01a. Eleanor Lamb - Sinclair's SacrificeEdit
Ahhh. I see. Very sweet.
01b. Eleanor Lamb - Saved HimselfEdit
Very poor play. He could have saved himself if we failed to call her bluff...too sentimental.
01. Eleanor Lamb - It Isn't SafeEdit
It isn't safe to begin yet. We must get rid of the splicers first!
01a. Eleanor Lamb - Big SisterEdit
We've done it, Father. We must head up to Mother's office now in the control tower, it's the only remotely safe place for the ascent.
01b. Eleanor Lamb - Follow Me!Edit
We've done it, Father. We must get to the lifeboat now, or die trying!
02a. Eleanor Lamb - Big SisterEdit
The ascent begins, Father...I have to get the remaining children to mother's office in the control tower. It's the only safe place to surface. We will meet you there...go...
01. Sofia Lamb - You Will DieEdit
Delta...why?! Do you actually believe you'll survive the ascent? Her ability to sustain you will fade more and more, as she travels away from the source of ADAM... You will die like a mindless animal, and she will live in that rotting world alone!
Retail VersionEdit
01. Eleanor Lamb - We Must EscapeEdit
As long as Mother is near, I won't be able to preserve you... We must escape before you fall apart...
03. Eleanor Lamb - Hold OnEdit
Hold on, Father...
05. Eleanor Lamb - Come On!Edit
Come on Father, you're not going to die in this hole!
02. Eleanor Lamb - Find Sinclair!Edit
Oh god... she's going to drop this building into the trench... it's miles deep! We have to find Sinclair — now!
08. Eleanor Lamb - We Have to Get Out!Edit
We have to get out of here, Father... before your heart stops or Persephone falls!
03. Eleanor Lamb - Don't ListenEdit
Don't listen to her, Father — she's desperate — mass suicide is her final trump. We are not going to die with her!
04a. Eleanor Lamb - IndependenceEdit
Addressing me as a child, mother — now that's a clever gambit. Still hoping I'll accept "survival" in her care... We leave together, Father... or this is where we die.
02. Sofia Lamb - Inherit the CityEdit
It may seem cruel to employ the innocent as repositories for gene therapy, but I have no interest in fire from the fingertips, Delta. I measure the evolving psyche: to wit, the soul. The tests are behavioral. Eleanor was to benefit from all we had learnt... until you.
03. Sofia Lamb - Your People, EleanorEdit
Eleanor, I know you can hear me. This is Mother speaking. Your people cry out in fear, pleading for the rebirth they were promised... only you can answer.
02a. Eleanor Lamb - Honest LessonEdit
No hard feelings, Father... I felt every pain you inflicted, and it was by far more honest a lesson than anything Mother ever taught me.
02b. Eleanor Lamb - Warts and AllEdit
Remember, Father... Mother never wanted a child, she wanted perfection. It's the real world I want. Thanks to you, I shall soon see it, warts and all.
04a. Eleanor Lamb - Hack Darts in the PneumoEdit
Here, Father. I've put some Hack Darts in the Pneumo.
01. Augustus Sinclair - Flush Me OutEdit
That's a... window into the back of my tower, kid... try to get me fightin' somehow... flush me out o' here... please...
05. Augustus Sinclair - You've Got the CodeEdit
That's the full code, kid... you've done it, now... now just come on in here an'... an' put me down easy...
07. Augustus Sinclair - StairwayEdit
Try the stairway, son... maybe you can find a way up onto... onto what's left of it...
08. Augustus Sinclair - BoxEdit
Maybe that... that box can help you get up here... looks light enough to move...
09. Augustus Sinclair - Smart CookieEdit
Smart... smart cookie, kid. Now... come up to the tower and... and finish me... please make it quick...
04. Augustus Sinclair - Check the Cells for the CodeEdit
Check the cells, kid... one of the prisoners must know the number...
02. Eleanor Lamb - Oh NoEdit
You have Sinclair's key, Father — use it on the override switch to end the lockdown.
01. Sofia Lamb - Freedom of ChoiceEdit
So be it, Eleanor... with your long-sought freedom of choice, you have sided with Subject Delta over your mother, your people, and even yourself. I fear you will have little time to mourn him...
01a. Sofia Lamb - How Did it Feel?Edit
How did it feel, Delta? Was Sinclair a friend to you, or just a tool? He died a hero of the Rapture Family; you will have no such honor.
01. Eleanor Lamb - LossesEdit
So. Sinclair is dead. And worse, the ballast compressors are damaged — we cannot launch. I... could boil away the water myself and get the lifeboat to rise, but I'll need a great deal of ADAM to generate that much heat. The rest of the Little Sisters will have to be sacrificed. Head to the Pediatric Wards.
01a. Augustus Sinclair - A ChanceEdit
God... Sinclair... Mother killed him... and destroyed the ballast compressors as well. We cannot launch. But maybe, Father... I could boil away the water and get the lifeboat to rise, but I can't generate that much heat alone. It's time to liberate the rest of mother's Little Sisters. We must get to the Pediatric Wards, and fast.
01d. Eleanor Lamb - To the Pediatric WardsEdit
Oh no, Mother's destroyed the ballast compressors. We cannot launch. But maybe... Father, I could boil away the water and get the lifeboat to rise, but I can't generate that much heat alone. It's time to liberate the rest of mother's Little Sisters. We must get to the Pediatric Wards, and fast.
02c. Eleanor Lamb - With the Children's HelpEdit
Alright, Father. I'll wake the children up — they're stronger than they know. With their help, I should be able to boil off the water and get us all out of here. After that, we'll make them human again.
03. Eleanor Lamb - I'll Harvest the ChildrenEdit
I will harvest ADAM from each of my other Sisters. And of course, Father - you'll get a share. After we visit both wards, I should be strong enough to boil off the ballast water and launch the lifeboat.
01. Eleanor Lamb - All MineEdit
Ohhhhhh, when I kill you, mother, it won't be for the common good. It won't even be for Father. The moment will be all mine.
02. Eleanor Lamb - Is This the WayEdit
Mother, you sad old cow. Is this the way you want to die?
04. Eleanor Lamb - Not QuietlyEdit
Father, for my entire life, I've heard mother rasp on about the virtue of sacrifice. She says God's just a myth — but she believes in martyrdom. She won't go quietly.
0?. Eleanor Lamb - I Hope I HelpedEdit
Seeing you again, Father, even through the eyes of the Little Sisters... it kept me going. I hope I was able to help.
01. Eleanor Lamb - This Way to a WardEdit
Therapy wing. One of the Pediatric Wards is this way.
01. Eleanor Lamb - Near a WardEdit
Infirmary. There's a pediatric ward back here somewhere.
01. Eleanor Lamb - Finish the Splicers FirstEdit
Not yet, Father, we have to deal with mother's splicers first.
02. Eleanor Lamb - Still Too ManyEdit
It isn't time yet, Father... there are still too many of them.
03. Eleanor Lamb - We Must Kill the SplicersEdit
It isn't safe to begin yet. We must finish off the splicers first!
01. Eleanor Lamb - We're DoneEdit
Done, Father. Let's move on.
02. Eleanor Lamb - To the Other WardEdit
Time to find the other pediatric ward, I think.
03. Eleanor Lamb - It's ColdEdit
God, it's cold... But getting warmer...
04. Eleanor Lamb - WorkingEdit
It's working...
07. Eleanor Lamb - Ready to FightEdit
It worked! I'm ready to fight now, Father — just use the Plasmid and show me where!
04. Eleanor Lamb - Break the Other OneEdit
Halfway there, but they're still coming! Break the other one... it's the only way to stop them!
01. Eleanor Lamb - Run!Edit
The charges are going! Persephone is falling, Father! Run!

Many biologists regard proteins as being the fundamental compounds of living systems. Whether or not any one type of molecule may be singled out as "fundamental" is open to question, but proteins play many extremely important roles.
Although they are structurally and functionally diverse, they exhibit certain characteristics which enable us to make some generalizations about them. In terms of elementary chemical composition, proteins always contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and they usually contain sulfur as well.
The micro molecular units are called amino acids, and a given protein molecule may consist of several hundred or even thousands of these units. The feature shared by all amino acids is a carbon atom to which is attached a carboxyl group and an amino group. These compounds are called amino acids because of the amino and carboxyl groups.
A complete listing and illustration of their structure may be found in most textbooks concerned with organic chemistry. When amino acids link together, they do so in such a way that the acid group of one is attached to the amino group of another.
The bond thus formed between the carbon of the acid group and the nitrogen group if termed a Peptide Bond. This can be illustrated by showing how to amino acids are joined together. In this particular example, the two simplest amino acids, glycogen and almandine, are subjected to dehydration.
As shown, the carboxyl group of one molecule gives up its OH and the amino group of the other reacting molecule gives up one H. Water is thus formed, and the two molecules are linked from carbon to nitrogen.
By addition of any one of the twenty amino acids to this deceptive, a tripe tide would be formed. In similar fashion, continued addition to the chain would lead to the formation of a large polypeptide chain, or large protein molecule.
The specific amino acid sequence of any given protein molecule is called its primary structure. When we consider that there are twenty different amino acids which may be arranged in any order to form a sequence of hundreds of amino acids in the formation of a single protein molecule, it becomes apparent that a vast number of different protein molecules can exist.
This situation is analogous to having an alphabet of twenty letters with which to form words. If there is no prescribed sequence in which the letters must appear, then the number of words that can be formed becomes almost infinities.
As we shall see, this high degree of structural diversity if very important in the many and varied functional roles fulfilled by proteins in living systems. Physical studies have shown that few proteins exist a£ a straight-chain sequence of amino acids. For the most part, they are coiled or twisted in a number of ways, the most common of which is a spiral twisting called an alpha helix.
The geometry of an alpha helix can be visualized by letting a pipe cleaner of certain length represent a straight chain of amino acids. If the pipe cleaner is coiled around a pencil by proceeding from the tip of the pencil to the eraser in clockwise fashion; an alpha helix is formed. It shape can be seen more clearly if the pencil is then slipped out.
Experimental evidence indicates that this alpha helix is produced from a straight chain molecule whenever weak hydrogen bonds pull adjacent parts of the molecule into a helical form. Hydrogen bonding is thought to be an electrostatic attraction between the positively charged hydrogen end of polar molecule and an unshared electron pair of one atom of another molecule.
This situation if quite common in a chain of amino acids. The N - H structure of the peptide linkage presents a polar situation, while the C = O group of a peptide linkage in an advancement part of the chain. Hydrogen bonding to the present concept. Apparently, it is responsible for the formation of the alpha helix, which constitutes the secondary structure of a protein molecule.
The protein molecule owes its ultimate configuration to the diversity of exposed chemical groups comprising the amino acids which determine the primary structure of the molecule. Some of this diversity is illustrated, where the R groups may represent ring structures, acid groups, amino groups, or sulfhydryl groups.
This diversity makes it possible for a number of bonding situations to develop between adjacent groups. These interactions cause the molecule to fold upon it still further, producing what is termed the tertiary structure of the molecule.
This tertiary structure gives the molecule a final and specific surface configuration, leaving certain active groups exposed to react with other molecules, and also shielding certain groups from reaction with other molecules.
Although most of the active proteins within living systems exhibit the type of structure we have discussed, they may also assume a second type of configuration. Known as the beta configuration, it involves interaction or bonding between two or more polypeptide chains adjacent to each other.
The secondary structure and territory structure which are characteristic of the protein molecules we have discussed does not occur in those with a beta configuration. Instead, the molecules remain long and fibrous, and are therefore sometimes called fibrous proteins.
Biochemically, these proteins are generally far less active than the other type, which tend to be spherical or globular in form; rather type, which tend to be spherical or proteins in living systems. For example, they are the principal components of muscle, bone, and cartilage in the bodies of complex animals. Earlier, we discussed enzymes and the role they play as organic catalysts in living systems. You will recall that we defined them as proteins.
In the light of our discussion above regarding the structure of protein molecules, perhaps we are now in a better position to understand the specificity of enzymes as well as certain other aspects of their activity.
Enzymes belong to the group of globular or spherical proteins mentioned above, and each type of enzyme molecule has a very specific surface configuration due to its primary, secondary, and tertiary structure.
The specific surface configuration leaves certain chemical groups exposed which will react quite readily with certain stand that an almost infinite number of different and quite specific enzymes having certain active sites may exist. Perhaps our previous analogy of a lock and key type of relationship between an enzyme and substrate molecule is now clearer and more meaningful.

How to Build Community in Your Church
April 30, 2013
As a pastor of a small church, I'm particularly sensitive about building a sense of community. I don't think community is just another 21st century buzzword, I think it reflects the body life described for the church in the New Testament. For example, in our latest study of the Lord's Prayer, I've been struck by Jesus intructions for how to pray. You will notice the use of the plural. "Our Father", "Give us our daily bread", "Forgive us our debts." This pattern is all through the gospels, the epistles, the pastoral letters--commands and encouragements given in the plural. The point is this: Christianity was not meant to be lived individualistically. When you put your faith in Christ, you are baptized into a body, joined to a people. So it is an important function of the church to create environments where this body life, this community, can flourish. Much of this falls on church leadership. They must...Continue Reading

Sam Philips describes as being "at the forefront of products that are reinventing how people can interact with light."
(PRWEB UK) 12 February 2013
Effectively a remote control for the lamps, it has been reported in Lighting.co.uk that the app enables users to dim and tune the warmth of white light, alter colours and set timers. Some of its competitors include GreenWave Reality's Connected Lighting Solution, all of which article author, Sam Philips describes as being "at the forefront of products that are reinventing how people can interact with light."
Dedicated to researching the latest industry updates and developments, the team at Simple Lighting are naturally interested to see how this particular story develops. A representative of the firm shares their thoughts on how the industry is growing and changing.
"Although they may use them in their everyday lives and may even have them in their homes, many people know very little about LEDs. These apps really show their additional functionality- achieving things that simple weren't possible with older technology.
"Even in the sense of home lighting, LEDs are extremely versatile, thanks to such a large expanse of colours and sizes. At Simple Lighting we pride ourselves on having such extensive choice of LED strip lighting, updating our stock regularly."
Established in 2009, Simple Lighting Company aims to provide high quality lighting at some of the most competitive prices on the web.

Looking for a rental apartment ASAP (Essen)
Hey together,
I'm desperately looking for an apartment to move in to by the start of August this year permanently.
I'm looking for a nice apartment one/two rooms, min. 36sqm max 50sqm, with a separate kitchen (I don't mind if shower or bath tube) and a central gas/water heating system, plus a connection for the washing machine. All these extras with a balcony or garden is awesome but not necessary. However the apartment needs to be in walking distance to public transport, which commute early mornings and evenings.
What I've found so far are flats without floor (no tiles, no carpet) nor kitchen. That is definitely not what I'm looking for.
I preferably look for a place to live in the southerly or easterly suburbs of Essen.
If anybody knows something, I would be really thankful for your help. Please PM me.
Kind Regards,

NORTH NORWICH - Whether public or private, profit or non-profit, the agencies and organizations that enhance the quality of life in Chenango County are overdue for recognition. To meet that end, a group of aviation-minded citizens plan to transform the annual Airport Day held in June at the Lt. Warren Eaton Airport to a new, Community Service Day event.
According to Airport Day Committee member Robert H. Benton, Jr., the event would maximize and showcase the exposure of the hidden treasures in Chenango County that continually strive to help the community, but seem to disappear into the mists of our day to day drama.
The event will be held from 6 a.m. with a fly-in breakfast and continue until late afternoon on Saturday, June 13th at the Lt. Warren E. Eaton Airport. It is coordinated by GAMA Aviation, TASIS Comm Group and the Frontier Communications Community Action Team.

Military retirement pay tables are based on the number of years of service in the military and the service member's salary. Disability compensation tables are based on the service member's disability percentage and number of dependents. The disability compensation tables are updated each year.Continue Reading
For any service member who entered the military after September 8, 1980, the retirement pay is based on the highest 36 months of pay received during his or her career. This is usually the 36 months prior to retirement. The total pay earned during these months is divided by 36 to determine the base retirement pay.
This number is multiplied by the retirement multiplier to determine the service members retirement pay. The multiplier is equal to 2.5 percent for each year of service. Retirement pay is adjusted each year to account for increases in the cost of living.
The disability compensation tables do not take into account the service members working salary or time served. When a service member suffers an injury during service and does not fully recover, he may qualify for disability compensation. A medical professional will provide a disability rating based on the service members condition and ability work. Ratings range from 10 to 100 percent.
Veterans may then look at the disability compensation chart that is updated annually to determine their compensation. For example, as of 2014, a veteran who is 100 percent disabled receives $2,906.83 per month. Additional compensation is offered if the veteran has dependents.Learn more about Salaries

Martin Scorsese may very well be a product of his environment: growing up in Little Italy while struggling with his Roman Catholic faith, only later to use both as inspiration for his 1973 classic, Mean Streets, but as his notorious Irish Mafioso Frank Costello (played by Jack Nicholson) mused in 2006's The Departed: "I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me."
And so it was.
Influencing a legion of filmmakers the world over, as well as shaping the genre itself, he is only one of many directors to take on the big bad mob on film.
Many draw from screen classics of old, and some—not unlike Scorsese—draw from life experiences. Such is also the case with showrunner Mitch Glazer's childhood-inspired period drama of the 1950s Miami Beach mob scene, Magic City.
To welcome Glazer's latest into the Starz "family," we've gathered some wiseguys of our own and put together a list you can't refuse: the most prolific directors ruling the gangster film genre, from Dassin to De Palma, and their masterful works of the Irish, British, Spanish, and Sicilian mafias to the Yakuza of Japan.

WIPO General Assembly-Impressions from Day One
25 September 2006
Thiru Balasubramaniam
The WIPO General Assembly, the highest decision-making body of WIPO, runs from 25 September to 3 October 2006. Ambassador Enrique Manalo of the Philippines was elected chair of the General Assembly. The three agenda items expected to be of most substantial interest include: 1) the Development Agenda, 2) Protection of Broadcasting Organizations and 3) the Report on the Progress of the Standing Committee on the Law of Patents in Respect of the Draft Substantive Patent Law Treaty and Consideration of a New Work Plan for 2007.
The first day consisted of general statements from regional groups including the Asian Group, Group B (developed countries) and the African Group in addition to individual statements from Member States. From the onset, the Chair employed a strict but judicious time limit for oral interventions with 7 to 8 minutes given to regional coordinators and 5 minutes granted to individual Member States.
Switzerland, on behalf of Group B (developed countries) noted its disappointment that discussions that on the patent agenda and the development agenda were not resolved in their respective technical committees. With respect to the development agenda, Switzerland stressed its concern that the recommendations by the Chair of the PCDA (Ambassador Rigoberto Gauto Vielman of Paraguay) were supported by an overwhelming number of countries as a workable compromise and a way forward for discussion.
What the Swiss delegate did not mention however, was that the PCDA's recommendations were summarily rejected by the Friends of Development and did not have the status of "Chair's recommendations" but instead miraculously appeared as the proposal from the Kyrgyz Republic.
Nigeria, on behalf of the African Group, called upon the General Assembly to "renew the mandate" of the Provisional Committee on Proposals Related to a WIPO Development Agenda (PCDA) "in order to continue with its work soon after the Assemblies". The African Group called for the PCDA to hold three 5 day sessions in 2007 "devoted to discussion of substantive issues to produce a balanced set of recommendations composed of both technical assistance and substantive issues such as norm setting".
With respect to the "protection of signals for broadcasting organizations", the African Group stressed that "web casting and simulcasting should not feature" in the proposed treaty. The African Group noted that the treaty "should adequately protect the public interest by the inclusion of safeguards and exceptions and limitations".
Singapore, on behalf of the ASEAN group, stated that intellectual property was not an end in itself, but rather a means of promoting economic, social and cultural development.
Finland, on behalf of the European Communities and its Member States, expressed its support for a decision calling for the convening of a Diplomatic Conference for a treaty on the protection of broadcasting organizations.
Minister Gilberto Gil (Ministry of Culture, Brazil) stated the following
Argentina, on behalf of the Group of Friends of Development, expressed its support for a General Assembly resolution on the development agenda that covered the following topics:
We are living a historical moment when, more than ever, intellectual property deserves to be the object of a debate that corresponds to the breadth and complexity that this subject has acquired. We have seen that a number of sectors of the international community has become increasingly aware of the importance of discussing intellectual property in all its aspects, particularly its effects on social and economic development, as illustrated by the Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health.
It is clear to us that development will only be ensured if there is a balance between intellectual property rights and obligations and the public interest, as had been highlighted by the Ambassador of Argentina, on behalf of the Group of Friends of Development. If such balance is lost we will violate the nature of knowledge itself: we should never forget Thomas Jefferson's words, according to which there would not be any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property than ideas, whose sharing does not necessarily harm anyone....
The Brazilian Government is concerned with the fact that the Basic Proposal for a Treaty on the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations, approved by the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights, remains the object of disagreements and had not been able to please the majority of Members, both developed and developing.
Should this Assembly confirm the convening of a Diplomatic Conference with a view to finalizing the Treaty, we must be aware that many questions remain to be solved after several years of hard work on the subject, shedding doubt on the very opportunity of such a negotiating exercise.
The Brazilian Government calls for the Assembly to hold reasonable and comprehensive discussions on this subject. If the Diplomatic Conference is ultimately confirmed by this Assembly, notwithstanding many pending issues, we will be consciously assuming the risk of another failure at WIPO, repeating the outcome of the Diplomatic of the year 2000, meant to approve a new audiovisual treaty.
At the international level, many different organizations are already engaged in assessing the impacts of intellectual property. The UN, UNESCO, WTO, WHO, CBD, UNCTAD and many others have been contributing to the debate on intellectual property and development.
- norm setting
- impact assessments
- technology transfer
- instutional matters and mandate
With respect to the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights' (SCCR) work on limitations and exceptions, Chile noted that "hicimos una propuesta destinada a discutir y consensuar excepciones y limitaciones minimas, especificamente para personas discapacitadas, para bibliotecas y archivos, y con fines educacionales".
On the question of the proposed broadcasting treaty, the delegation of Chile stated "apopyamos su desarollo y consolidacion, sin embargo coincidimos con aquellos que piensan que el actual estado de la discussion no tiene madurez y claridad suficiente como para intentar su conclusion en el futuro cercano" while stressing that "[n]uestra preferencia es que sigamos trabajando este ano y el 2007 y que sea la Asamblea General del proximo ano la que tome la decision sobre el llamado a una posible conferencia diplomatica en la materia".

High-resolution spectroscopic observations of the local interstellar medium between the Sun and nearby stars have been recorded with the Aurelie spectrometer of the Observatoire de Haute Provence (France). They have been used to identify and characterize the local interstellar cloud (LIC) in which the Sun is embedded. The "Doppler triangulation" shows that the local cloud flows toward λ = 74.9°; β = −7.8° at a velocity of 25.7 ± 1.0 kms−1 with respect to the Sun. This is strongly confirmed by Hubble space telescope (HST) UV measurements toward the star Capella. Furthermore, the recent detection of interstellar neutral helium inside the heliosphere, found to flow at 26.0 ± 1.0 kms−1 with the Ulysses Neutral Gas Experiment, brings a definitive proof of this identification.
On examination, most of these X Factors are related one way or another to Space Weather and rapid evolutionary change. This is really a shock and awe moment as our world leaders have basically accepted the reality of the transformation of our world and the metaphysical concept of the veil lifting... The technical term used was X factors being "game-changers"... Moreover, this Davos 2013 report makes it very clear that the general public needs to be re-educated by the promotion of science and "space literacy" campaigns. Since press releases from various space agencies in recent years are making it very clear that the issue of Space Weather is becoming very serious what else could "space literacy" represent besides Space Weather? Furthermore, amongst business leaders, politicians and central bankers, it was reported that a representative from the Vatican, the archbishop of Ireland, Diarmuid Martin (who has attended more Davos meetings than any other Irishman since his days in the Vatican) was in attendance. He was asked to provide a talk on 'X factors; Preparing For The Unknown'. It must be understood that the Vatican are in a unique position as they have vast archives of ancient manuscripts and a tradition of understanding the existence of long astronomical cycles that affect life on Earth.

One year, we skipped hosting our annual Retell, Remix and Rejoice Contest. We found out about the popularity of the contest only when people mailed us to ask why we weren't hosting it. Another way we knew that people liked participating is when we see familiar names popping up on our inbox with new stories. Priya Narayanan is one of those people. Priya's story 'The Jungle Cinema' was also one of the winning stories of the RRR Contest held in 2012. Priya tells us more about the life of her story :
Being a children's author, writing stories for children is always a pleasure. I love the way kids react to my stories and add their own nuances to make each story their own. While I encourage my own children to look at stories in a different perspective and try to take them forward with a new interpretation, I too try to push my own imagination by trying to take a story beyond what the original author conceived it to be. And the Retell, Remix, Rejoice contest lets me do just this, adding to it greatly with an assortment of wonderful illustrations that call out to you!
I first took part in the contest in 2012 on a whim, mainly as an exercise to deal with a stubborn writer's block. I had recently embarked on my journey as a children's author and was not prepared for such a mind-numbing situation. Once I looked at the illustrations on the Pratham Books blog, hundreds of stories started forming in my mind, and I was truly overwhelmed with what a few great illustrations could do to the constitution of one's brain! And just imagine my surprise when I found that my story 'The Jungle Cinema' actually won the first place!!
It was truly humbling when I received a printed copy of my book soon after. My first reaction was to print out as many copies of the book and distribute it amongst children in my society, kids' schools and the neighbourhood library – all for free, much inspired by Pratham Books' conviction to offer children cheap and easy access to books. I have since included the book in most of my school visits as an author and have received memorable reactions from the children in return.
My success with The Jungle Cinema also inspired my daughter to participate in the 2014 edition of the Retell, Remix, Rejoice contest. She wrote the story 'Naman and the Dinosaur Eggs' that received a shout out for the unique take on the illustrations. And that is precisely what I love about this contest. It opens up your mind to the immense amount of possibilities that just a few illustrations can offer and while you feel like a juggler, playing around with 8 to 10 illustrations, whether you put up a great show or not depends upon how well you balance them.

December 09, 2010 11:00 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - December 9, 2010) - BankServ announced today that its Mobile Check Capture app for smartphones now supports the BlackBerry mobile operating system. BankServ's Mobile Check Capture app, originally introduced in October for the iPhone OS, lets a smartphone user snap a picture of a check using the phone's camera and electronically submit the check for deposit into the user's bank account.
The move is expected to more than double the potential audience for BankServ's Mobile Check Capture platform based on mobile OS market share, company officials said.
"After the iPhone version of Mobile Check Capture got such a warm reception, expanding to other mobile OS platforms was a natural next step. There are several other mobile operating systems with established user bases in the millions," said BankServ vice president Danne Buchanan, who heads the company's Payment Solutions division. "BlackBerry's focus on the business client base makes it a particularly attractive fit for our check capture app -- and we anticipate that the demand for mobile banking technology is something that is going to exist across all mobile operating systems."
BankServ's Mobile Check Capture application incorporates Mitek Systems' (OTCBB: MITK) (www.miteksystems.com) patented, market-leading mobile Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) technology which ensures a superior user experience, delivers high security and accuracy, and provides real-time guidance to the user.

At AllenComm, we know eLearning has gotten a bad rap with some people, and we'd like to change your mind about custom eLearning solutions.
If you've ever suffered through a click-next-to-continue PowerPoint coma and decided an eLearning course doesn't work for your organization, we want you to give it another look. AllenComm doesn't do eLearning templates with dropped-in blocks of text for our learning solutions. Through our custom eLearning solutions we bring learning management and programming experience to save you money, and combine it with custom-designed eLearning services. Every company has unique business development objectives, so a one-size-fits-all eLearning template just won't cut it.
We start our designs from scratch every time—not matching the client's needs to what we can do, but matching the best practices to the client's needs. Sadly, case studies show that some learners have come to dread web-based training because they've seen uninteresting, poorly designed courses in the past. Interactivity is key to any online offering. AllenComm's eLearning is designed to communicate and apply relevant information while engaging learners through proper instructional design. We want people to finish training satisfied with having learned something interesting and helpful.
Your learners—internal or external—deserve to have their needs addressed by your eLearning solutions. We take time in the design phase to make sure every interaction, every interface element, every click or touch in your learning programs means something. This could include different paths for unique audiences, pre-assessments to guide them through training, self-guided menus to put them in the driver's seat, simulations that mimic real applications, games to put them in challenging situations, storytelling videos that highlight experts in their field, or simple assessments that require critical thinking rather than memorization. We also use our resources such as the highest quality media treatments, motion design, mobile learning, and beautifully branded visuals to ensure your brand's credibility is enhanced by the learning exchange, not challenged by it.

The Daily Beast's Eerily Spot-on Casting of Inevitable Berlusconi Film
Jack Nicholson in the lead, Angelina Jolie as his ex-wife.
The laws of cinema practically guarantee that Silvio Berlusconi's tabloid-ready life and prime-ministership will one day grace the big screen, so screenwriters and studio bosses should study this dream pre-casting from the Daily Beast's Michael Solomon. Apart from Silvio (best played by a smirky Jack Nicholson), the perfectly pouty and scorned ex-wife Veronica Lario is a definite Angelina Jolie role, alleged bunga bung participant "Ruby the Heart Steeler" is a dead ringer for Jessica Alba, and Berlusconi's political mentor (former Italian PM Bettino Craxi) has all the bald-pated, delightfully scheming look of a Danny DeVito. And for those flashbacks to young Silvio's career as a cruise ship crooner: Nick Jonas, of course.

New Fave: bareMinerals Complete Coverage Serum Concealer/
Concealers are this ever so slightly overlooked, underestimated and not so sexy makeup products but, oh boy, are they essential! There's a very small number of concealers I truly love and ever since I tried the Bare Minerals Complete Coverage Serum Concealer it has shot right to the top of my strictly edited favourites list.
Finding a good one is like finding a needle in a haystack - they're either too creamy, too dry, don't have enough coverage or the shade selection is just wrong. And I really do need my concealer. Between adult acne and naturally very pronounced bags under my eyes I am relying on a good product to cover all of that without caking my face in a centimetre deep mask.
The Complete Coverage Serum Concealer is everything I look for - great coverage, enough creaminess so it doesn't cling anywhere it shouldn't and good grip so it doesn't slip around my face or crease under my eyes. The pigmentation of this product is insane, so you really only need a small bit to cover quite a substantial amount of your skin. It's a multitasker - it works perfectly under the eyes as well as on any imperfections like spots, pigmentation or redness.
I love the fact that the concealer has some skincare properties. It contains high-definition mineral optics to counteract shadows and give skin a brightened, lustrous finish and hydrating humectants to help nourish the under-eye area.
The only one gripe I have with the bareSkin concealer range is that there are only 6 shades to choose from, so you may not find your absolutely perfect match. I am using the Light shade and it is perfect for me, but do get matched up on a counter before you buy!
The Complete Coverage Serum Concealer is €26 and available from Debenhams and all other bareMinerals counters!
If you are in the market for a new concealer I would HIGHLY recommend you give this one a go!

For most people, buying a home is the most significant purchase they will make in their life. For this reason, we have compiled a number of steps to help steer you in the right direction and make the process as smooth as possible.
Determine your budget
Before anything else, the first step is to determine how much you can afford to pay in loan repayments. Doing so will give you an idea of the size of the loan you can take out and the type of property you can afford to buy.
Use our mortgage calculator to calculate how much a loan will cost you per week, fortnight or month, then subtract this figure, along with any other expenses, from your income during the same time period.
Remember to remain realistic when determining your budget and ensure that the figure you are left with does not leave you short for any unexpected expenses that may come up in the future.
Start saving
Saving the largest deposit possible for your home loan will mean that you spend less in the long run. The larger the deposit is, the smaller the loan and the less interest you will be charged.
A larger deposit presents you as less of a risk to lenders, allowing you to negotiate a lower interest rate. Furthermore, saving a deposit of at least 20% of the property value often means that can avoid paying 'Lender's Mortgage Insurance', an insurance that protects the lender if you cannot repay your loan.
Organise finance
Choosing the right lender is an important part of the buying process. When comparing home loans, have a clear idea of which key features you require from your loan and gather information from different lenders regarding features and fees.
Here at Wiseberry we have the ability to put our buyers in direct contact with lenders, often at special rates that are not offered through other channels. For more information and to let us put you in direct contact with a banker, please visit our finance page.
Get pre-approval for your mortgage
Pre-approval lets you know exactly how much you can afford to spend, giving you a clearer idea of the property you are looking for and saving you from spending time looking outside of your price range.
Pre-approval also provides you with an advantage over other buyers when making an offer on a property. If other buyers already have their finance organised while you are still waiting, they may steal your dream property before you have the chance to sign it. Getting pre-approval allows you to make an offer on a property with confidence that your finance has already been organised.
Get to know the market
Research recent sale prices and auction results in your preferred locations and compare the results against what you are looking for and your budget. This will give you an idea of what's on offereder and at what price, which will allow you to further fine tune your search.
Research the local area
Gather information about the area you are looking to buy in. Find out if the suburb is right for you, as well as if the local amenities will satisfy your needs. Check if there are any development, construction or rezoning projects planned in the future and consider how these will affect the value of your home.
Hire an agent
Hiring a buyer's agent will take a lot of the hard work out of searching for a home and can help you find a property that ticks all the boxes in a shorter time. Agents often have access to new properties before the general public do, allowing you to remain one step ahead of other buyers.
A buyer's agent will search for properties that meet your particular needs, ensuring that you don't waste time looking at properties outside of your requirements. They can organise a portfolio of properties that fit your criteria and take you to view each home.
Importantly, a buyer's agent can provide you with support during the auction and negotiation process. Their negotiation skills and knowledge of the process will help you secure the lowest purchase price possible. Their market knowledge also allows them to identify overpriced listings, saving you the risk of spending more than you should on a property.
Visit open homes
Once you have an idea of the requirements and price range of the property you are looking to buy, the next stage is to create a shortlist and begin attending open homes. When inspecting the property, ensure that it not only meets your requirements but is also free of problems that will cost you money down the track. Don't be afraid to ask questions to ensure that you gather as much information about the property as possible.
Before purchasing a property, it is a good idea to view a property more than once before making a final decision. This will ensure that you do not miss anything that may have gone unnoticed in your initial visit, as well as give you the opportunity to clarify any questions you may have with the agent.
Keep updated
Stay up to date on any new properties that come onto the market so that you can be the first to act. While your dream home may not be on the market today, subscribing to newsletters and property updates ensures that you will not miss a beat if it comes onto the market tomorrow.

I've never been lonely. I've been in a room... I've felt suicidal, I've been depressed. I've felt awful ... awful beyond all , but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude.

IBM researchers announced yesterday that they discovered a method of creating highly recyclable plastics from one of the most eco-friendly materials around – plants. Not only are the material's components greener than traditional petroleum-based products, the production process uses significantly less energy.
IBM scientists used organic catalysts – catalysts made from organic compounds instead of metals to create plastic polymers that are functional through many rounds of recycling. Traditional plastics can generally be recycled once before the metal in the polymer starts to degrade and it must be sent to the landfill. The new compounds can be up-cycled and down-cycled into many different types of plastics. A plastic bottle can have a new life as a car bumper. Previously it was difficult to remake polymer compounds that retain the strength of the original materials.
The scientists also have high hopes for the use of the new eco-plastics in medicinal applications. Many encapsulated drugs are currently highly toxic because of the metal in the plastics involved. The new organocatalysts plastics could be used to deliver directed cancer therapy drugs safely because the polymers will safely degrade and deliver medicine on site in the body. In addition to all of this great news, researchers said that the new catalysts are, "dirt cheap."

I am a 30 year old stay at home mom, married to Big Monkey for seven years. We have a son, Little Monkey, who is almost five. We have a little girl, Little Monkette who was born October 3, 2009.
I am pretty simple (so I've been told and would like to believe). I am not a tomboy, but am also not very girly. I do like to shop but I don't like to spend money. I do like to get the best "deal" possible. I am happy to tell people how much little I pay for things.
Currently, my days are filled with taking care of Little Monkey, Big Monkey, Little Monkette and our house. Much of my time is consumed with watching over Little Monkey's diet because he has Phenylketonuria (PKU).

Wales captain Stephen Jones, who feared the worst when forced off midway through the first half against Australia with a knee ligament strain, has recovered so well that he expects to be named today in the team to play Canada at the Millennium Stadium on Friday night.
"The physio, Mark Davies, has given me the all-clear to train, so I've got to be optimistic," said Jones yesterday. "As far as I'm concerned it's not one of those injuries that you can do more damage to or is likely to go again."
Assuming Jones is selected and gets safely through the match, coach Gareth Jenkins will have a selection dilemma for the match against New Zealand a week on Saturday, with James Hook, Gavin Henson and Tom Shanklin all competing for the centre positions.
Scotland's talismanic captain Jason White has been ruled out of his side's game against the Pacific Islanders on Saturday after injuring his knee against Romania at Murrayfield.
The Sale flanker, 28, needs further tests to assess the knee injury he picked up in the 48-6 victory. Scotland team doctor James Robson said: "The scan has revealed damage to some of the structures within his knee."
France's Frederic Michalak has virtually been ruled out of the Six Nations after rupturing knee ligament in Toulouse's win over Bourgoin on Friday night.
Michalak, who was returning after a two-month absence with a recurrence of a long-standing groin problem, ruptured interior knee ligaments. The best case scenario suggests the fly-half will be out for a minimum of four months, depending on whether he opts for surgery or not.
France captain and lock Fabien Pelous, who was set to equal Philippe Sella's record of 111 caps on Saturday, has had to withdraw from contention for the second Test against New Zealand with a rib injury. His place in the squad goes to Clermont's Loic Jacquet.
Martin Schusterman, the Argentine flanker, will face an IRB disciplinary panel tomorrow after being cited for a high tackle on England full-back Iain Balshaw during his country's historic win on Saturday.

Global Distribution and Density of Constructed Impervious Surfaces
AbstractWe present the first global inventory of the spatial distribution and density ofconstructed impervious surface area (ISA). Examples of ISA include roads, parking lots,buildings, driveways, sidewalks and other manmade surfaces. While high spatialresolution is required to observe these features, the new product reports the estimateddensity of ISA on a one-km2 grid based on two coarse resolution indicators of ISA – thebrightness of satellite observed nighttime lights and population count. The model wascalibrated using 30-meter resolution ISA of the USA from the U.S. Geological Survey.Nominally the product is for the years 2000-01 since both the nighttime lights andreference data are from those two years. We found that 1.05% of the United States landarea is impervious surface (83,337 km2) and 0.43 % of the world's land surface (579,703km2) is constructed impervious surface. China has more ISA than any other country(87,182 km2), but has only 67 m2 of ISA per person, compared to 297 m2 per person in theUSA. The distribution of ISA in the world's primary drainage basins indicates that watersheds damaged by ISA are primarily concentrated in the USA, Europe, Japan, China and India. The authors believe the next step for improving the product is to include reference ISA data from many more areas around the world. View Full-Text

Lesson LearnedPam VanDrimlen : March 8, 2016 1:01 am : Current Post, On Cape, Places, Trail Hikes, Training Tips
This morning while starting off on a very familiar trail near my house Brya was spooked for the first time in her life. I thought she was afraid of one of the dogs approaching us and for the first time in her life did not come to me when called. Like any dog owner, I was embarrassed in front of the people with dogs near me as well as worried that she would run further away from me so I panicked.
I collected her and leashed her to continue our walk. Where than halfway through our route we heard it whining in the woods. I quickly remembered hearing of an injured coyote in this area from a few days ago.
As I thought back, Brya did not leave my side for the entire walk. Why didn't I trust her instincts? We are fine but even old trainer can learn new lessons.
I have always thought of Brya being a good judge of character for both dogs and people. Why had I doubted her? Because it was early in the morning and I just want to get my walk done. Next time I will heed the warning and pick a different trail.
Just goes to show you, if you really listen dog's instincts teach lessons every day.

A campaign by Los Angeles County to ban the use of trans fat in restaurants suffered a setback Friday when legal advisors said it lacked the authority to do so.
The county counsel told public health officials that neither a trans fat ban nor a requirement that restaurants display nutritional information on their menus would be possible under current state law. The state has jurisdiction in such matters.
The opinion surfaced Friday in a report by the Department of Public Health. The Board of Supervisors had asked the department for a study on ways to implement a trans fat ban.
In place of a ban, the report advised the board to start a voluntary program to encourage restaurants to eliminate the chemically modified food compound often used in baking and frying. One possibility might be to offer restaurants that choose to participate a decal certifying them as trans-fat-free, the report suggested.
