This is a logger for player kills in Shartak, a browser-based MMORPG. Enter a player's ID to see all of their logged kills and deaths.
You may log a kill by entering the victim's ID. (This will only work for the last time they were killed.)
There's a Greasemonkey script that makes this page easier to use. It's optional but recommended.
To log a kill, this page visits a player's profile and copies the information about their last death into a database. Users may view deaths and kills by appending "?id=___" to the URL of this page or log kills with "?log=___" instead (where "___" is the ID of the player or victim).

Burnside Album Details
Upper Crust, The/ The Grannies, Lords & Ladies
"Boston's The Upper Crust and San Francisco's The Grannies, two of America's foremost purveyors of costume rock, team up on the split release "Lords & Ladies" - an album that promises to please fans of punk and hard rock alike. Though known for their over the top stage shows both bands can deliver the goods in the grooves as well. The Upper Crust reimagine "High Voltage" era AC-DC filtered through the lyrical lens of 17th century nobles on this, their first new release since 2009's 'Revenge For Imagined Slights'. Meanwhile while The Grannies bust your chops with another fresh set of Jack Endino (Nirvana, High On Fire, etc.) produced tunes that are reminiscent of grunge in its punk nascence and The Dwarves at their most chaotic. Look for the bands on tour together in the Midwest and on the East Coast in October."

A Westport Independent Cllr. has again called for work to be carried out on footpaths along the Ballinrobe road in Westport.
Christy Hyland says it is a densely populated area and anyone walking along that stretch at present is taking a huge risk.
Cllr. Hyland says he has been calling for a footpath to be put in place for a number of years and has called on the senior engineer with Mayo County Council to put this on their plan.

Whisper words of wisdom
Shake the Dust
"Speak every time you stand so that you do not forget yourself,
never let a moment go by you that doesn't remind you that your heart beats 900 times a day…
That there are enough gallons of blood to make you an ocean."
No matter if you think you can accomplish everything or have trouble getting out of bed. No matter if you are religious or not. No matter if you are someone who is confident in yourself or if you are someone who struggles with who you are. You are worth it all. & I think everyone needs a little inspiration and support, no matter who they are.
" So grab this world by its clothespins and shake it out again and again and jump on top and take it for a spin and when you hop off shake it again for this is yours."
The rest is just sand
My sister posted this on FB, it caught my heart.
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle and 24 hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class with several items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the …students if the jar was full…. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. Once more they agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked one more time if the jar was full, and the students responded with a unanimous "Yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand, the pebbles, and the golf balls. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—God, family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions—things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else—the small stuff. The professor continued, "If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you." "So," he cautioned, "pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children; take time to get medical checkups; take your partner out to dinner; play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked." He elaborated. "It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Information and Updates for the Iona Community on Coronavirus
Sr. Kathleen Deignan and Br. Kevin Cawley delivered the Jeanie Graustein Lecture at the St. Thomas More Catholic Center at Yale University in New Haven Connecticut on Sunday, April 28, 2019. The Graustein Lecture is an annual event at Yale to celebrate care of Earth.
Sr. Kathleen had given a full day Retreat on Saturday to the Campus Ministry staff at the Center and concluded the weekend with the Graustein lecture at the closing dinner.
Br. Kevin and Sr. Kathleen offered a glimpse of the wisdom of Thomas Berry in light of the climate crisis facing the planet. The program began with a summary of the predicaments that threaten the continued conditions to life on the Earth such as carbon emissions passing the limits agreed to in the Paris climate accord, the loss of ice caps and glaciers leading to sea level rise, food insecurity, heat impacts on health, spread of disease vectors, wealth inequality, extreme weather events, and displacement of populations fleeing these impacts, all received early attention.
The program was accompanied by images and texts with emphasis on the human toll of these challenges along with a link to global inequality that threatens current efforts at solutions. Participants were brought to see that the goals for carbon reduction set by the Paris accords were not within reach under current practice. We still need to reduce net carbon emissions to zero by 2050 in order to achieve a safe environment. Even if all countries kept their promises to reduce their carbon output, the Paris target of holding world temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius was not within reach. Current trends show a likely increase of 4.3 degrees leading to a cascade of catastrophic outcomes as the land-based ice cover melts and enters the oceans. Dr. Gavin Schmidt of the Goddard Institute at Columbia University has warned that even if we were to end all carbon emissions immediately, the planet still faces centuries of warming due to the impacts already "baked in".
The work of Pope Francis in Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate and the deep wisdom of Thomas Berry all formed a backdrop to the catalog of planetary degradation that remains ongoing and unabated in the business-as-usual model.
Thomas Berry had the foresight decades ago to frame the human-earth relationship more gracefully. His principles for a mutually enhancing human-earth relationship are the foundation for moving the human project from its devastating exploitation to a benign presence. It is especially important that we give young people some indication of how the next generation can fulfill this work in an effective manner.
The program included a brief video of Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager, who has been on school strike for climate action in her country. Greta has subsequently inspired more than a million young people worldwide to take to the streets in 120 cities on March 15, to share their dismay about the lack of action by political leaders on climate change.
Paul Hawken's project "Drawdown" was also noted. He has supervised a large group of young scientists and activists to publish the 100 best practices for removing carbon from the atmosphere and preventing further damage. Both Paul and Greta push back against the language of "hope". Greta tells leaders we don't want your hope, we want you to act. And Paul Hawken notes that often: "…hope is the pretty mask of fear. You can't have hope without fear, whether you're aware of it or it's subconscious. What we need to be is fearless, not hopeful."

Save the date.
On February 21, at 1 p.m. EST, world-renowned investor Paul Mampilly will reveal his proprietary three-phase strategy for targeting stocks capable of soaring upwards of 1,000%. A strategy Paul personally used to make 25 times his money on a single investment in eight months, and he guarantees could help give you the chance to see a profit of $250,000 from his recommendations over the next year.
I also encourage you to put the event in your calendar using the links below:
Add an Appointment Reminder
Thank you for registering. You're all set to attend the Revolutionary Wealth Summit on Thursday, February 21 at 1 p.m. EST sharp.
During this eye-opening event, Paul Mampilly will be revealing his proprietary three-part strategy for targeting an average of 41 stocks a year — capable of soaring 1,000% or more.
Using this strategy, he has personally seen gains of 2,539% in as little as eight months.
While nothing in the market is guaranteed, Paul has been personally refining this strategy for decades, and just two years ago, privately shared it with his Inner Circle.
Since then, this small group has generated more than $39 million in collective profits.
One couple even said that they have been living off the returns they've seen, since harnessing this strategy.
Now it's your turn!
In this exciting online event, Paul is going to reveal everything...
You will see how his incredible, new strategy takes the guesswork out of knowing if — and when — an investment is about to make a big move.
You'll hear from folks like Lauren Meyers, who has earned over $200,000 and now travels the world. Leonard Dumont, who has seen a total increase of $350,000. Or Joshua Gill, who reports a total profit of $1.1 million.
You'll also hear from the man who credits Paul with the fact that he and his wife are now living a "poetic life."
All of this thanks to Paul's research — thanks to what you're going to discover on February 21, at 1 p.m. EST.
And you'll even see why Paul is willing to guarantee that everyone who joins us to watch this groundbreaking event, will have the chance to see a profit of $250,000 over the next 12 months.
Plus, leading up to the event, we'll also send you exclusive sneak peeks, bonus articles and more.
So you'll want to make sure that you keep an eye on your inbox.
I look forward to seeing you for the live broadcast Thursday, February 21.
It will begin promptly at 1 p.m. EST.
Remember to arrive at www.extremefortuneslive.com 5 to 10 minutes before the webinar goes live.
See you then!
John Burke,
Co-Host, Revolutionary Wealth Summit
P.S. Follow along with us at www.extremefortuneslive.com as we post special previews and blog articles leading up to the main event. And if you can't make the 1 p.m. live webinar, we will hold a rebroadcast at 7 p.m. EST.
A Note from Paul Mampilly
Imagine what it would be like to have the chance to make 10 times your money, over and over again.
Imagine approaching every investment, knowing it has the same DNA of other companies that have soared 1,000% — that you could wake up in the coming months or years with every $10,000 as $110,000.
That's what I want to make possible for you.
I want to show you how to target investments like…
Booking Holdings, which rose 1,414%.
Or RushNet, which made an explosive move up to 2,700%.
Stamps.com with a 1,153% gain.
Texas Pacific Land Trust, which went up 1,062%.
Tucows rose 2,159%.
ZAGG went up1,173%.
And TheGlobe.com — up 1,400%.
On February 21, I'm going to share the proprietary strategy that could help you make these returns a reality.
Over the last few years, I've used this strategy to make 25 times my money on a single investment.
And have only refined it further ever since.
As a result, my readers have reported millions in profits.
On this page, you'll meet several of them in preparation for the Revolutionary Wealth Summit on Thursday, February 21 at 1 p.m. EST.
I can say, confidently, this is the greatest achievement of my career. It beats when I grew my former firm's $1 billion to $6 billion. It surpasses being called an "iconoclast" by Kiplinger, when they selected that firm as one of the top 25 on the planet. It is more powerful than when Barron's ranked us amongst the "World's Best." It's better than tripling my net worth during the 2008 crisis.
It beats all of this, and more, because I get to see incredible results day after day, for men and women like you.
And I'm honored to take this to the next level and share the ultimate strategy of my career for exponential wealth.
Thank you for signing up for the event, and stay tuned as we speed towards this historic event on February 21 at 1 p.m. EST.

With a background in accounting and finance, Bill Gee knew all about expectations.
Money and numbers are pretty straightforward after all. As he developed more self-awareness and began to appreciate his psychic sensitivities, he realized that calculating money made sense- but basing his actions on the projected reactions of his family and loved ones didn't. And so, he embarked on a journey of learning how to live outside of the expectations of others so that he could experience a more satisfying life.
As a certified SRT consultant, speaker and author, Bill uses helps others identify their own limiting beliefs, and move past them. It wouldn't be a conversation about expectations and sensitivity without a little Libra and Pisces thrown in.

Nu Skin Golf Relaxing Day 2007
Nu Skin Golf Relaxing Day 2007
To act as a "Force for Good", Nu Skin Enterprises Hong Kong is committed to various charity activities. On March 25, around 50 business partners and staff of NU SKIN joined the "NU SKIN Golf Relaxing Day" in Tuen Mun River Trade Golf jointly held by the Company and Children's Heart Foundation. The golf day commenced with a speech made by Regional Vice President of NU SKIN Greater China and President of Northern Mainland and Hong Kong/Macau, Ms. Angela Lau. Angela expressed her sincere thanks to the business partners and staff of NU SKIN for their support to the Children's Heart Foundation. It was followed by the barbecue time at which the participants talked and shared with others in harmony. More importantly, it provided the business partners and staff of NU SKIN with a chance to understand more about the needs of the children with heart diseases and their families. Coaches were specially hired to teach the participants playing golf, letting them taste the advantages and happiness of doing exercise. Both adults and children were able to enjoy a meaningful afternoon which was beneficial to their health as well.
Your continuous support makes the difference. Let's work together as a "Force for Good"!

People take education; they train themselves in specialised areas. But few things impact your daily productivity, career path, and overall well-being as much as your routines. What daily routines are we talking about in this discussion? Each has his routines. I will explain what I mean.
I write a little more than what I used to do in the olden days. I consider myself a bit of writer these days. In the year 2018, I have written 212,000 words as per WordPress site! In a day on an average, it is approximately 580 words or 1 ½ page. I published 180 blogs in 2018. As a writer, I have my routines set up. The routines are not right or wrong but these are my routines, and I follow them.
Here is what I do. I do my fine-tuning, publishing and other entries related to publishing after I wake up early morning. Essential work takes about 45 minutes. When I wake up, I take my medicine, wake my laptop, heat water for drinking. I drink hot water with turmeric as per terrific suggestion by friend Jayprakash. It helps my throat. I read what I wrote on the previous day; reading again aids in fine-tuning and getting into the groove. One of my rituals is to publish my blog at 5 am. Why five am? No reason, it is my routine. When I follow my routine, my published matter is generally free of errors, as my mind is fresh and helps me correct my mistakes. Will I make any mistakes if I don't follow the routines? Will I be comfortable? I do not know. But If I am comfortable doing my work with a specific routine, I may not want to experiment.
You may write down your own routines/rituals as displayed above!
In the office scenario we check our documents, our emails, we have one on one meetings. We have group meetings. We meet with outsiders. We have telephonic conversations. We are not robots. We take some time to switch from one task to another. Just imagine that you have come from a heated interdepartmental meeting. Next on the agenda is a one on one meeting with a talented colleague. She may be thinking regarding resigning due to some complex issue. A good idea will be to take a five-minute break. It could be tea break, washroom break (maybe to wash your face). This break will bring some normalcy in your mind, and you will be able to handle the one on one meeting better.
You may have observed routines followed by batsmen during cricket matches. Some twirl their bat, some walk five steps away from stumps and come back. All such routines help them to keep their concentration. But there are some smart bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja. They bowl their balls one after another in quick succession if a run is not scored. The hastening up helps the bowler to break the concentration of batsmen as they are not able to twirl their bat or remove the hand gloves.
Our persona or personality is made up of what we repeatedly do. If you are a voracious reader, then people may call you as a well-read man; because during the chats, you can give quotes or examples from what you read.
The rituals aid the routines that we follow! Publishing my blog at 5 am is a ritual too! When we follow some rituals, it sends signals to our mind that we are planning to start some new activity. After using Laptop for emails, before one on one meeting, we can put the laptop in sleep mode by closing it down. After coming back from group meeting before looking into your computer, you may have a cup of tea to indicate the switch over. I had said above that we are not robots and this is what it means. Our attention doesn't immediately follow the new task. Some thinking and part of our attention remain stuck in the original work.
Such rituals are not connected directly to any task. These are parallel to some of the religious rituals we follow in our life. On a specific day after a death in the family, we invite people for lunch, as a ritual indicating that the mourning is over.
When we perform two different tasks, our thinking can be entirely different. For example, you were creating a document, and then you are switching to a one on one meeting with a colleague. These two tasks require vastly different thinking. Writing will need referencing of old documents, talking to a colleague, looking for old emails. The one on one meeting will require you to switch to the understanding of the specific issues being discussed, and you may need to check something with your HR department. Mental changeover, information collection and preparation in general for every event is different. We have to find our ritual that makes the transition smooth.
Each of us has a way of doing things. Our body cycles are different. Some of us are morning people, and some are night owls. There is no point trying to wake up at four in the morning because the CEO of a successful company in the line of your business does so. "Early to bed and early to rise" is the right thing to say. But your work requires that you take calls thrice a week that ends at midnight! You may not be able to follow this idiom.
So how do routines and rituals fit into the modern workday? And how can we develop ones that maximise our ability to do meaningful work? One might ask do we need these routines and rituals to pass the day? We have to understand that in the modern world days can be long, tedious. Sometimes these can be boring too! Routines and rituals can introduce some break in the tedious nature of jobs.
I will share with you some different routines/rituals that people follow.
- I have seen many roadside kiosk owners, after preparing their first cup of tea to dump it on the ground. On checking, I was told that it brings them good luck.
- Churchill used to take a nap at 5 p.m. This was his siesta, a habit gained in Cuba, allowed him to work 1 1/2 days in every 24 hours. At 6:30 p.m. he awoke, bathed again, and dressed for dinner at 8 p.m.
- Some athletes, don't change their socks throughout a small tournament.
- Some cricketers always wear their gear in a specific sequence.
You are what your routines are, and these are specific to you! So go ahead and follow them religiously.
I found one slide about rituals about our life! I thought it was interesting.

Daisy Jones and the Six rose to become one of the hottest bands of the Seventies, only to unceremoniously disband one night in Chicago, leaving a cadre of disappointed fans. Their story was unknown - until now. This novel is cleverly written as a series of interviews, so that every character's perspective emerges at the same time, and it evokes all that we find magical about music of that era. You'll feel like the head writer of Rolling Stone magazine interviewing Fleetwood Mac - or maybe even like the seventh member of The Six.— Jody Misner Chwatun
"Oh man, what a ride! I guess I'm the right demographic for this book: I love rock and I grew up in the '70s, so I wanted to like it...instead, I loved it! Yes, it's sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, but it's also got wonderfully complex characters that I cared about even if I didn't like how they acted. It's a peek into the formation of a band, how the music is made, the struggles of addiction and clashing personalities, and, ultimately, love. The story is compiled of pieces of interviews with the band and those connected to them—a very effective technique that made the novel's pages turn even faster. Taylor Jenkins Reid's Daisy Jones & the Six is one of my favorite books of 2019 so far!"

My studio!! It's not very big, but it's my own workspace with a door, a window & a whiteboard, so it's perfect. I'm even luckier to have some spiders & occasionally other friends come to visit too ;P
Her name is Cat! Note my new beanburger-phone I got for my birthday :D
I haven't got any good scans of the results of my printmaking school, so that'll have to wait, until then I only have a few visual developments to show you from amidst the much research & baking that's going on!

A dedicated workspace, however small, is essential. I have my drawing desk set up in a corner of the loungeroom, though one of the cats uses my board as a path to the window sill to watch parrots feeding outside...

The fifth episode of the Bioethics Commission's podcast series Ethically Sound, "Gray Matters," is now available. The Bioethics Commission has released 10 reports on a variety of ethically challenging topics. Ethical issues in neuroscience were the focus of the reports Gray Matters: Integrative Approaches for Neuroscience, Ethics, and Society (Volume 1), and Gray Matters: Topics at the Intersection of Neuroscience, Ethics, and Society (Volume 2).
The two Gray Matters reports responded to a charge from President Barack Obama, in conjunction with the announcement of the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, a White House Grand Challenge. President Obama asked the Commission to "consider the potential implications of the discoveries that we expect will flow from studies of the brain." In Gray Matters Volume 1, the Bioethics Commission recommended early and explicit integration of ethics into neuroscience research. In Gray Matters Volume 2, the Commission focused on three "cauldrons of controversy" in neuroscience: cognitive enhancement, research involving participants with impaired consent capacity, and the use of neuroscience in the legal system.
This episode of Ethically Sound opens with a narrative from Dr. Stephen Morse, Associate Director of the Center for Neuroscience and Society at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Morse discussed a case where neuroscience was used as the basis of an insanity defense in a murder trial, as the defendant had a cyst in his left frontal lobe that the defendant's legal counsel argued had impaired his judgment. When discussing the two positions taken by the prosecution and the defense, Dr. Morse said, "The defense took the position that the prosecution was afraid of the expert evidence having to do with the brain tumor."
The podcast also features Bioethics Commission member Dr. Stephan Hauser, Director of the University of California, San Francisco Weill Institute for Neurosciences, and Chair of the Department of Neurology. Hillary Wicai Viers, former Communications Director with the Bioethics Commission staff, conducted the interview. Dr. Hauser discussed the array of ethical challenges that the Bioethics Commission addressed in its reports, including the importance of integrating ethics into all stages of neuroscience research. Dr. Hauser said, "Well-designed, ethical neuroscience research will pave the way for progress that has the potential to benefit so many [people]."
Episode 5 is now on our website, as well as on our SoundCloud, YouTube and iTunes pages. In addition to this episode, listeners can access the first four episodes "Safeguarding Children," "Ethics and Ebola," "Anticipate and Communicate,"and "Privacy and Progress." Listeners can follow the podcast using #EthicallySound or by following us on Twitter @bioethicsgov. Stay tuned for the sixth episode in our series, "New Directions," which will be available on October 17, 2016. We welcome comments and feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Among the red carpets, celebrity appearances and musical performances, the upfronts almost resemble the Emmy Awards, television's annual self-congratulatory awards show. Except that the upfronts lack "In Memoriam," the period of mourning for the industry's losses the year before.
This week at the network presentations for advertisers, there will be no mention of "The Playboy Club," "The Finder" or "The River." Or "A Gifted Man," "How to Be a Gentleman" or "Man Up!" Or the other network television shows — over a dozen and counting — that were announced with great fanfare at the same presentations last year and have been canceled since then.
The failure rate for network television rarely changes — only the names of the shows do. For most people in the television industry, it's perfectly normal for hundreds of scripts to be pared down each season, "Survivor" style, to just one or two hit shows. These people rarely stop and wonder if there's a better way of doing business.
But to others, this creative slaughter is stupefying. "The most confounding thing about the TV business is the amount of waste," said Noah Hawley, who created "The Unusuals," which ABC canceled in 2009, and "My Generation," which ABC canceled in 2010.
There must be, he said, a better way to develop and nurture new shows. "But the problem is, the system perpetuates itself. There's no time for anybody to have these big-picture conversations."
That's because the development process starts all over again after the upfront presentations in May. And the scripts and pilot episodes that aren't made into shows right away are usually thrown away. "Generally speaking, the perception in the community is that they're tarnished," said Gary Newman, the co-chairman of 20th Century Fox Television, who called it "unfortunate."
Mr. Newman said the process itself is necessary, though, to come up with gems like "Modern Family," which his studio makes for ABC, and "New Girl," which it makes for Fox.
"In other industries, it's called research and development," he said. "Not every idea that comes out of a television studio or out of a car company or out of a technology company is ultimately a good one, and there has to be some research."
The research starts in the summer when writers pitch hundreds of ideas. Each of the major networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC) commissions roughly 50 to 80 drama scripts and a similar number of comedy scripts, and they later receive others from agents "on spec," meaning on an unsolicited basis.
From the resulting pool of scripts, each network orders 20-some pilot episodes, at an average cost of $2 million for a sitcom and $5.5 million for a drama, according to FilmL.A., a Los Angeles permitting agency. This year, CBS ordered 15 pilots, ABC ordered 23 and NBC ordered 24. Fox, which has seven fewer hours of prime time programming than the other three, also ordered 15. Depending on the schedule needs of the network, up to a dozen might be ordered to series and announced this week.
"Pilot season is like mixing the measured strategy of the N.F.L. draft with the manic frenzy of a supermarket sweep," said David Hornsby, who created "How to Be a Gentleman" last year. CBS withdrew it from its schedule within weeks of its premiere.
The frenzy, he said, comes from the compressed timeline of the pilot-making period. "Everyone is competing for the same talent in every department: actors, directors, writers, casting directors," he said. "You're just trying to make the best decisions you can over a short period of time and hope it works out."
Network executives test the pilots with focus groups before they choose which ones to order. But it is a largely unscientific process, they say, one that has far more to do with art than science. They talk in terms of "swings," "home runs" and "batting averages," but there is no "Moneyball" of television, yet.
Cable television is cited by many in the TV industry as a better way. While broadcast is akin to a buffet, cable is made to order; cable channels develop fewer ideas and approve more of the ones they do develop, generating less waste along the way. The process isn't as wedded to the upfront calendar, so writers and producers have more time to change scripts and cast actors.
The Web, too, may point to a better way. Netflix commissioned new episodes of the canceled Fox sitcom "Arrested Development" in part because its internal data demonstrated that the old episodes remained popular among its users. The data is far more precise than the Nielsen television ratings can be.
Of course, a data-driven development process removes a crucial element of television production: risk. "We've found that our biggest successes frequently have been our scariest ideas," Mr. Newman said.
For the studios and networks, one or two hits a year offset the costs of all the trial and error. But the waste still nags at some. Before Comcast took control of NBC, the network tried producing fewer pilots and replacing scripted dramas with Jay Leno at 10 p.m., but those experiments were scrapped; Comcast hasn't similarly tinkered with the model since it took over.
The pilots that aren't picked in the spring go into desk drawers and filing cabinets, rarely to be heard from again. The Hollywood trade publication Variety calls these "busted pilots." Occasionally one is revived: "The Big Bang Theory" was piloted twice before it was ordered in 2007, and "Breakout Kings" was turned down by the Fox network before it was bought by the cable channel A&E in 2010.
This year, CBS considered ordering a show by the comedians Louis C. K. and Spike Feresten that was first conceived 13 years ago. Over the weekend, though, it appeared unlikely to go forward.
But those are the exceptions. The pitches start anew while new shows begin, most bound to fail. In 2009, The Futon Critic, a TV Web site, counted the number of series that had started on the broadcast networks in the previous 10 years and found that 70 percent were canceled or ended within one season. An additional 11 percent ended within two seasons. Rarely does anyone question whether this is appropriate.
"Circle of life," the actress Laura Allen wrote on Twitter on Friday when NBC canceled the show she was on, "Awake," two episodes short of the end of its first season. She was, she declared, "back in the ring!"

The Cape and MANSA VIDA Partner for Exclusive Surfing Retreat
Hotel & Resort Dawna L. Robertson March 16, 2016

When The Cape, a Thompson Hotel opened as the brand's first Mexico property in Cabo San Lucas last June, it turned heads — the accommodation has a vibrant luxury approach that blends the brand's signature urban aesthetic with a retro, 1960s Southern California-meets Baja vibe.
The 161-room lifestyle luxury resort also wowed professional surfers who have long coveted the Sea of Cortez wave action hitting Monuments Beach below. From May 19-22, The Cape will capitalize on its pristine location above the renowned wave-riding destination by partnering with the pros.
The resort has teamed with new adventure travel production company MANSA VIDA to roll out surfing nirvana in a four-day/three-night retreat infused by the sport, music and art of surf culture. Wave warriors can surf and rub elbows with company co-founder Tim Curran, and his cronies Damien Hobgood and Tom Servais.
READ MORE: Going Underwater in Los Cabos
Pro surfers Curran and Rob Machado founded MANSA VIDA to provide exclusive "day-in-the-life"-inspired adventures with pro athletes and artists to destinations across the globe. Trips range from surfing the world's best breaks with pro surfers to capturing photos in Patagonia with the industry's top photographers — always with the unique selling point that guests will travel right alongside the pros they admire.
Curran notes that he and Machado were inspired to host a retreat while on a surfing trip in Mexico. "We were surfing, playing music, and surrounded by this amazing and talented group of photography and film professionals," he said. "We want to offer folks the chance to explore surf culture just like the world's top surfers do. And The Cape, with its surf-inspired vibe and incredible location right on Monuments Beach, is the perfect place to do it."
A 10-year-plus veteran of the World Championship Tour, Hobgood shot to fame when he landed the highest two-wave grand final score in pro surfing by scoring 19.9 out of 20 (under the current ASP system) at The Quiksilver Pro Fiji in 2004.
Surfing aside, Curran is also an established singer/songwriter who has opened for the Foo Fighters and other high profile musical artists. A contributor to Surfer magazine since the mid-1970s, Servais has amassed what's praised as one of the most legendary portfolios of dramatic surfing images.
The Cape + MANSA VIDA Surf Retreat Package Perks
The multi-day experience includes San Jose del Cabo Airport round trip ground transfers, three-night accommodations at The Cape, surfing workshop with Curran and Hobgood, live acoustic concert by Curran held at the hotel's rooftop lounge, cult surf film screenings at the rooftop lounge, daily morning yoga, daily breakfast, surf swag from the pros' sponsors, and Q&A sessions with the pros.
Attendees can also view a collection of iconic surf images shot by Servais during the last few decades, followed by a Q&A session with this photography guru on capturing the culture and action of the sport.
Limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, packages are from $3,981 for three nights in a double occupancy room. Single traveler rates are available for $2,921. An optional five-night package is offered for $5,920. Rates do not include tax and resort fees. Pricing can be adjusted to accommodate larger groups. To book this experience on behalf of your clients, contact The Cape directly at (877) 793-8527. Or visit thompsonhotels.com/the-cape.
Breaking Down The Cape
With its unveiling last June, Niki Leondakis, CEO of Commune Hotels & Resorts, (the international, multi-brand hotel company that manages Thompson Hotels), noted the Cabo San Lucas property as part of an exciting evolution in the brand's international expansion. "As our first Thompson resort property, The Cape embodies the brand's iconic urban edge, while also organically integrating the breathtaking scenery and carefree luxury unique to the Los Cabos destination," Leondakis said.
The Cape has been carefully designed and positioned to offer unobstructed views of the region's most famous landmark, The Arch, from virtually any vantage point on property. Posh amenities include a pair of swimming pools (one with a swim-up bar and the other built within an onsite natural rock formation), Cabo San Lucas' only rooftop lounge, a spa with two private outdoor cabanas, fitness center featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Sea of Cortez, and diverse array of regionally inspired, chef-driven food and beverage destinations.
All one-, two- and three-bedroom suites or villas offer unobstructed ocean views, as well as outdoor terraces — many boasting hanging daybeds for enjoying the picturesque surroundings. Four two-story Penthouse Suites elevate the luxe life with private rooftops and plunge pools.
The resort also nods to its surf status with the premier Surfer Villa — a three-bedroom, two-story luxury suite with state-of-the-art kitchen, gaming room with pool table, sauna, and expansive outdoor patio with plunge pool and barbecue.
The Agent's Edge
If your clients love the luxury but prefer the Caribbean, Thompson Playa del Carmen has recently opened as the destination's only hotel with locations on Quinta Avenida and the beach.

The Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (spelled as Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation with hyphen used from its inception until 1985, stylized as 20th Century Fox and also known as 20th Century Fox Pictures, TCF, Fox 2000 Pictures or simply Fox) is an American film studio, distributor and one of the six major American film studios. Located in the Century City area of Los Angeles, just west of Beverly Hills, the studio is currently owned by 21st Century Fox and is formerly owned by News Corporation.
20th Century Fox has distributed famous film series, including the first two Star Wars trilogies, Ice Age, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Maze Runner, X-Men, Die Hard, Home Alone, Planet of the Apes, Independence Day, Night at the Museum, Power Rangers, Percy Jackson, Taken, Fantastic Four, The Omen, Alien, Predator, Rio, and Alvin and the Chipmunks. The studio is also credited for distributing James Cameron's Avatar and Titanic, the highest and second highest grossing films respectively at the box-office not adjusted for inflation (though Paramount Pictures owns the US rights to the latter). Television series produced by Fox include The Simpsons, Family Guy, M*A*S*H, The X-Files, Bob's Burgers, Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Futurama, American Dad!, How I Met Your Mother, Archer, Glee, Modern Family, Empire, Malcolm in the Middle, New Girl, King of the Hill, and 24. Among the most famous actresses to come out of this studio were Shirley Temple, who was 20th Century Fox's first film star, Alice Faye, Betty Grable, Gene Tierney, Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. The studio also contracted the first African-American cinema star, Dorothy Dandridge.
The Doors is the eponymous debut album by American rock band the Doors, recorded in August 1966 and released on January 4, 1967 (although the album was available in various record stores in New York City as early as the third week in December 1966 as part of a special promotion). It was originally released in different stereo and mono mixes, and features the breakthrough single "Light My Fire", extended with an instrumental section mostly omitted on the single release, and the lengthy song "The End" with its Oedipal spoken word section. The Doors credit the success of the album to being able to work the songs out night after night at the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood California, and the London Fog nightclubs.
The Doors was not only one of the albums to have been most central to the progression of psychedelic rock, but is also one of the most acclaimed recordings in all of popular music. In 2012, it was ranked number 42 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time; it continues to hold similarly high positions on other "best-of" lists.

Election Took Online Targeting to a New Level
Isn't it ironic that the Obama administration, which threatens regulation to protect online privacy, pushed online targeting to a whole new level to win re-election? Gordon Crovitz, a Wall Street Journal" columnist, makes that point in a recent piece on how politicians are now leveraging massive databases for online "hypertargeting." First, like commercial online advertisers, a political campaign drops a "cookie" on user computers to track online habits -- and the Obama team dropped 87 million different cookies on unsuspecting visitors, Crovitz notes. Then, like sophisticated online retailers, online activity data is enhanced by demographics (like sex and age) and purchase behaviors (like charity donations). Finally, the data is politically enriched by publicly available voter records. And don't forget the trove of data mined from social media. And yet the same politicians talk about regulating commercial data usage! It would be less hypocritical and more economically sensible, as Crovitz argues, for the winner of the White House to "give credit to how his campaign made smart use of targeted advertising online -- and then let the Internet continue to evolve without getting in the way."

Smith and Cult has just released a new line of lip lacquers! Great news for those of us who prefer paraben-free lip glosses, which also happen to be gluten-free and vegan too. The line of glosses is made up of ultra-feminine, easy-to-wear shades of pink, plum, and red and come in names that are as equally enticing–High Speed Sonnet, Her Name Bubbles, The Lovers, and The Queen Is Dead are just a few. Smith & Cult founder (a.k.a. Hard Candy co-founder) Dineh Mohajer called her line of lacquers The Shining, after Stanley Kubrick's film, telling Nylon the name "seemed perfectly fitting, since it captured the objectives of the collection: To be shockingly shiny and scary addictive." Prepare to be hooked.

Aldi delighted fans when they introduced a purifying face mask last October, which proved so popular it sold out online before it had even hit the shops.
But if you didn't manage to get your hands on one, fear not, because the bargain supermarket is bringing it back this Thursday!
The Pink Clay Mask, from Aldi's popular Lacura beauty range, is priced at just £5.99, and claims to rid your skin of impurities to reveal a radiant and glowing complexion.
Pink clay can reduce inflammation and irritation which can cause acne, says Aldi, claiming that the 'miracle ingredient' also minimises blackheads and promotes elasticity for younger, clearer looking skin.
When it was first released, some beauty fans noticed that the mask looks super-similar to a product already on sale from Aussie beauty brand, Sand & Sky, their Brilliant Skin Purifying Pink Clay Mask.
However, the Aldi product is a fraction of the cost of its higher-end alternative, which sells for £39 on most websites.
As if that wasn't enough to cheer you up on a Monday, Aldi is introducing two brand new products to the Lacura Pink Clay skincare range.
The Lacura Pink Clay Hot Cloth Cleanser is great for all skin types and claims to give you 'naturally healthy looking skin' as it gently cleanses and exfoliates.
It contains cocoa butter, pink clay, Australian kakadu plum and extracts of bamboo, macadamia, mangosteen and pomegranate, all for just £3.99.
The second new product is the Lacura Pink Clay Exfoliating Face Scrub, £2.99, which says it will refine and mattify skin, leading to a noticeable difference in just two weeks.
Latest Stories
The products are also cruelty-free – which wins them huge brownie points in our books.
All three products in the Lacura Pink Clay range are available to pre-order online now, and can be bought in stores from Thursday April 18th.
As with any Aldi Specialbuys though, once they're gone, they're gone, so you'd better be quick if you want to get your hands on them. Race you to the shops!

Another Sony Bravia ad has gone viral! The new Bravia TV commercial from Y&R Asia, Singapore is another explosion of colour and utilizes the slogan, "Live colour creation." The ad starts off with an image of an Egyptian pyramid in a dusty desert. A blast of contrast quickly follows as spools of red thread begin to spew from the apex of the pyramid, shooting out spool after spool in rapid succession which cascade down the ancient piece of architecture. The red threads are followed by pink ones, then orange, purple, green, yellow and blue shoot out, cloaking the great structure in vibrantly hued stripes.
Check out Sony's last two viral ads, each equally rich in colour:

With the departure of Steve Jobs as CEO from Apple, it really got me thinking – is one great, influential and visionary mind at the helm of an organisation what it comes down to for a company to really foster innovation? Are these people 1 in a million or is it a skill that can be learnt? How can you replicate the level of creativity, brand identity and forward thinking required on your own scale and in your own situations?
Well as a lover of strategy & innovation (which I gained at university and yes it's a bit sad to admit to it) I've collected a few ideas over the years of what is needed to create a structure, in the loosest of terms that would foster innovation. It's all down to amelting-pot of culture, balance of personalities, and the physical set-up of a business and its processes that help or hinder innovation. Other factors such as remembering that great ideas can come from anywhere is also really important.
I would continue but I stumbled across a fantastic interview with Pixar's Brad Bird on Fostering Innovation, which really says it all so here are a few of the best to get your juices flowing but I really do suggest you read the full interview when you get the chance!
What do you think? Does your company have any great initiatives for fostering innovation? Let us know! I am currently working on a strategy for this in line with our new business and offices so any success or failure stories would be really appreciated.

October 11
In my four day backpacking trip in Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, patterned after an Italian feast, I guess I'd have to say my favorite "courses" were the "salad" (Hiking in Virginia's High Country with its incredible views) and the "soup" (this post, where I actually hiked to the top of Mount Rogers- 5,729 feet, - the highest point in Virginia). It is also the highest point on the East Coast between the North Carolina mountains and the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
Originally, Hawkeye suggested that we hike to the summit just before sunset, catch the sunset, stay for the stars, and hike down in the dark back to camp. But I convinced him that because there is, paradoxically, no view from the top of Mount Rogers, that it made more sense to hike up and back in daylight and catch the sunset and stars from camp. By the time camp was all set up, it was about 5:15, and sunset was about an hour and a half away, or even a little less. Hawkeye decided not to go to the summit, but I was determined to. I hadn't stood on top of Mount Rogers since I was a graduate student, where I backpacked here once with two friends and we reached the top. Also, I had come here a year after that with my ornithology class on a field trip. I didn't feel that this hike would be complete without standing on top of this mountain once again.
So I stuffed some emergency supplies in my nearly empty pack and started hiking. I didn't see any problem covering the hike, less than two miles, before dark, and it wasn't a problem. Here is a three dimension topo representation of my 1.7 mile hike to the top and back, marked in yellow.

Central Ohio Population to Reach 3 Million by 2050
Central Ohio is on track to become a region of 3 million people by 2050, according to the latest population estimates from the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC). The estimates are developed annually by MORPC to provide up-to-date insights into the patterns of growth in the 15-county region.
In 2018, MORPC estimates that the region saw an increase of 43,000 residents – enough to fill both Nationwide Arena and the Schottenstein Center to capacity simultaneously and the largest single-year of growth in Central Ohio's history. This equates on average to 118 people coming into the region each day. The region's total population is now estimated to be 2.4 million people.
Franklin County accounted for seventy percent (1.3 million) of the regional population increase, gaining nearly 30,000 residents, an additional 82 new residents per day. This continues a trend of strong growth in the region's core, which began around 2010. The trend in recent years is a significant shift from the suburban sprawl that characterized the prior several decades. From 2000-2010, Franklin County saw just 40 percent of the region's total growth.
The City of Columbus also achieved a significant milestone in 2018, surpassing 900,000 residents for the first time. The region's largest city added nearly 22,000 residents over the past year, a full fifty percent of the regional total.
MORPC has identified several factors that are fueling the region's growth. Migration, both domestic and international, is a key component. Since 2010, for every resident gained from natural population growth, another moved into the region. Migration into the region is a mix of residents from elsewhere in the United States, including people from other places in Ohio, and a significant number of residents moving to the region from abroad.
Looking to the future, MORPC's forecasts call for continued steady growth in Central Ohio, with the region reaching the 3 million mark in 2050. Prolonged population booms like the one the region is currently experiencing could drive that number even higher, while economic slowdowns or other unforeseen factors could have a dampening effect. For this reason, MORPC models a range of growth for the future and uses the most likely scenario for its projections.

Alphonse Pavid 日內瓦,機芯號 2272,錶殼號 2272,59 mm,208 g,約 1895
厚實的日內瓦天文三問懷錶,附萬年曆,月相顯示,追針計時碼錶。此錶於1895年被日內瓦天文台選入"Chronomètres 1re Classe"最高級別,附原盒及Andreas Hidding的官方評鑑證書
Alphonse Pavid à Genève, Movement No. 2272, Case No. 2272, 59 mm, 208 g, circa 1895
A heavy, astronomical Geneva minute repeating watch with perpetual calendar, moon phase and split seconds chronograph - with original box. The watch was entered 1895 for the Geneva observatory competition "Chronomètres 1re Classe". With extract from the chronometer archives by Andreas Hidding.
Case: 18k pink gold. Dial: enamel. Movm.: bridge movement, 2 hammers / 2 gongs, gold screw compensation balance.
A heavy and complicated pocket watch in absolutely perfect condition. Only a few watches with this quantity of complications have ever been granted chronometer status.
Alphonse Pavid, Geneva
Geneva maker of pocket chronometers and regleur Jean-Louis Alphonse Pavid was born on June 17, 1853. His father worked as a watchmaker and jeweller in Yverdon. Alphonse worked in the Geneva workshops of Albert Potter in the late 1870s and the early 1880s. From 1884 to about 1915 Alphonse Pavid received a number of test certificates for his chronometers; they were issued by the observatories in Geneva, Neuchâtel and Kew-Teddington. During the chronometer test in 1891 Alphonse received an award in the serial testing; the five best chronometers of each maker were judged. On April 12, 1893 Alphonse invented a regulation system with flexible balance spring studs and a bimetallic compensation balance spring in an unusual design ("steel-brass balance, System Pavid"). It looks like neither of these inventions was ever registered as a patent though. In 1894 Alphonse Pavid and Genoese precision regleurs G.-Marie Rouge, Alexis Favre, J. Cordier, Charles-Auguste Paillard and Marius Fave introduced a reform of the chronometer testing process. 1896 Alphonse Pavid exhibited his products at the national Swiss exhibition in Geneva and was awarded a prize with distinction in the serial tests for regleurs.

If You Don't Have HPV, You're Lucky (And There's a Preventative Vaccine For You)
Photo: Steve Debenport (Getty Images)
Did you know you have HPV? OK, maybe you don't. But you might!
Luckily for you, there's a vaccine for that, but almost one-quarter of Americans don't have the luxury of a preventative shot since they may already have it. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is one of the most common Sexual Transmitted Infections (STIs) humans deal with. And you may not realize the severity, but it can lead to rectal, vaginal, penile, and throat cancer. Just ask Michael Douglas.
Here's the tricky part: Men can't be tested for HPV. Women can. They get their pap smears, but there's no way for doctors to identify the virus in guys. What's better, it's extremely difficult to tell if you're even infected since 90 percent of the time there aren't any symptoms. It's not as obvious as The Walking Dead out there so the next time you think going in without a jimmy hat, think again. Better yet, think about Michael Douglas and what he would say.
Here's what you need to know about HPV and the vaccination.
Learn to love the needle: Anti-Vaxxing Named One Of The World's Biggest Health Risks
The Vaccine
Fortunately for us, there's a vaccine available that can prevent almost all the dangerous strains of this virus. It's estimated that the vaccine can prevent almost 90 percent of the over 33,000 cases of cancer caused every year from ever appearing. The catch? It works best if you're between 11 and 12 years old.
The vaccine is most effective before a person has ever been exposed to a strain of the virus via sexual activity. Since most of us aren't bumping uglies at 11 years old, it's the best time to get poked with something else. This doesn't help the people who only find out about this vaccine much later in life.
So what is someone supposed to do if they miss their window? Are they just out of luck? Not completely. There are a couple ways for people to get the vaccine even if they're not 12 years old anymore.
Photo: Sergei FadeichevTASS (Getty Images)
Updated Guidelines
The Center for Disease Control has announced a new strain of the HPV vaccine that can work in certain people up to the age of 26: men who have sex with men, transgender people, and women. These groups can have success with the vaccine up to this age because it's possible they haven't been exposed to every dangerous strain.
If you're past the ripe age of 26, don't despair. New guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration estimate that one form of the vaccine can be effective for men and women until the age of 45. In the wise words of LMFAO: "Shots, shots, shots, shots."
Photo: John B. Carnett/Bonnier Corporation (Getty Images)
One Barrier
As it stands, there's really only one reason not to get the HPV vaccine if you're under 45 and plan on having sex ever again. That reason is cost. Insurance companies currently offer no reimbursement for getting the vaccine after you're 26. Even up to 26 the coverage is spotty, at best.
A vaccine will run you a cool $500-$600, or roughly half of the new iPhone. But considering it can prevent cancer in you and your significant other, we'd say it's pretty worth it. Words with Friends isn't going anywhere.

Professor Barbara Lockee, Virginia Tech,USA
Overview of the ededucational technology research and discuss some of the challenges we've had.
Educational Technology has been around for many years and it's interesting to note the speed of change.
We'll look at three threads.
The first thread is media.
The second thread is computing.
The third thread is instructional design.
So these are the three "streams" or "threads" that comprise educational technology
Furthermore EdTech is situated at the nexus of three fields: Psychology, Media and Computer Science.
Media comparison studies started with comparing students on campus with distance students. Comparing the results of students on and off campus – is that a good question to ask?
Some of the issues with media comparison studies: they lack a theoretical basis – it's evaluation, not research. Maybe it is limited by the way in which it had to be delivered, received, etc. Many variables could impact the outcome of the studies. Most of these studies have no significant impact. They don't tell us anything. "Garbage in, garbage out." If you ask a bad question, you get a worthless answer.
To make it worse, these studies with the results that there isn't a significant difference – these results are then being interpreted.
What are the good questions? There are issues on micro level and on macro level. What really makes a difference? Micro level: How can these systems deliver our design plans? What are the characteristics of our audience – doesn't that matter? Macro level: looking at our systems. How can they bring effective learning conditions? You can also include the broader context of learning.
If I want to demonstrate, can I zoom in, can I pause, can I engage the learners in problem-based learning, can we collaborate in real time? Does all of this matter? The features of the system need to support this.
Adaptive Learning Systems – there is a very heavy front-end investement.
Mobile learning is popular, but imagine designing for a tiny screen
The next generation research. Still a feeling that we have to validate what we do online by comparing it to what we do face to face. E.g. comparing the use of Khan Academy vs not using it – what about the other variables?
Hoping for some more … leveraging research on virtual humans that have been used in the military to engage learners with science education. E.g. Ada and Grace as virtual museum guides.

Update: Lake County Indefinitely Postpones 500% Increase to Transportation Impact Fees
- June 6, 2018
- / Author Name
- / Land Use,Zoning & Environmental,Articles
This article is an update to an earlier article that was published on May 25, 2018 and is available here.
On Tuesday, June 5, 2018, the Lake County Board of County Commissioners considered a proposal to raise transportation impact fee rates for all developments located in the central and northern sections of Lake County by over five times their current rate. The proposed ordinance can be found here. After some discussion among the board members and public comment, the Board of County Commissioners ultimately decided to indefinitely postpone the proposed increase to transportation impact fees. Therefore, until further action by the Board, the existing rates for transportation impact fees will remain unchanged. This also means that the existing practices that would be abolished as a result of the ordinance—including pre-prepayment of impact fees—will remain intact.
If you have any questions about how the new ordinances may affect your business, please contact any member of the firm's Land Use, Zoning, and Environmental Group.

Kevin McHale Gets Candid About the 'Glee' Cancellation
Kevin McHale is opening up in a candid new interview on why he thinks Glee lost its viewers and why there shouldn't be a spinoff series.
"I will say, not to bring it down or anything, when Cory Monteith died. I don't think the show ever came back from that," the 26-year-old actor told The Huffington Post. "It wasn't for a lack of trying, but the story was going in one direction with his character [Finn Hudson] and he was one of two main characters of the show."
"I think after that the vibe on set was different," he added. "It was just weird for us being there never mind actually having to be filming. Being one of the writers in that sort of situation — I wouldn't have known what I would have done because I was like, 'I don't really even want to be here.'"
When asked if he thinks Artie should get a spinoff, Kevin said, "Towards the end, there weren't that many people watching Glee. So I don't know how many people would then watch a spinoff. We're off the air for a reason."
