I had the chance to sit down with Emarosa before their show at Starland Ballroom, as they got there Zombie make up done, and talk about everything from how this tour as been to the new record Versus and even into future music and sides of Emarosa that haven't been explored too much yet! See what the guys had to say and be sure to pick up Versus and keep an eye out for what's coming next!
How's Tour been so far?
Bradley: It's been awesome!
Jordan: It's really good to have the record out and be on tour at the same time. We've done one tour before but the record wasn't out so we were stuck playing a lot of the old material so it's been great to get out with Versus and see who checked out the record but then show it to new ears every night.
Bradly: 80% of the audience is new listeners which is exactly what I'd like use to be playing to right now.
Jordan: Definitely, try to add some new fans to the ones that have stuck with us all this time.
Speaking of Versus, how do you decide on a new setlist with a new record with a new vocalist vs old favorites?
Bradley: It's really hard when all of the songs on the new record are great (laughing)… trying to pick one that you think stands out. Trying to pick, especially being the opening band, a select among to a limited time slot. We try to put as much of the new record on this tour as we could, we literally only have one old song on the setlist. We're supporting the record on this tour, we did the tour with Chiodos and did 90% old material on that tour.
You mention the new material is the key component of this tour, how do you think that will change your performance from the Chiodos tour last spring?
Bradley: I think it's worlds better.
Jordan: It's our songs that we wrote as this band.
Bradley: With the Chiodos tour I was still feeling a little bit like filling in because it was still so many old songs and now that our record is out and we're playing our stuff I'm really coming into my old. It feels like a band now.
Jordan: We're feeling better and better every show.
What's everyone's favorite song on the setlist and why?
Will: Right now, "Say Hello to the Bad Guy" and why? Because it's something so different than anything previously with Emarosa and it's so much fun!
Jordan: That's definitely a good one, there's been a lot of energy and good vibes in the room with that one but right now I'm going with "People" [People Like Me, We Just Don't Play] because it really gets it going.
You just released a video for that, right?
Jordan: Yes! We just put out that video!
Bradly: That's really tough to pick just one song…
ER: Personally for me it's about seeing people sing along to the new songs so I'd go with "I'll Just Wait". That's one of the ones where I notice people actually singing along.
Will: When we lookup we can see sporadic fans throughout the crowd singing and I wish we could just chorale them all and put them in the middle of the room like guys have fun together!
Bradley: I think for me "A Hundred Crowns" is becoming one of my favorites; it's got a cool different energy. I feel like I can really come alive in that song, it just does something to me.
Overall, how has reaction been to Versus so far, it's certainly different than past records?
Bradley: It is. I can't speak for everyone but everyone that's heard it loves it.
Will: It's been awesome! We're having a blast. People have been super supportive and we're pleasantly surprised.
Bradley: There was a lot of stress beforehand not knowing how it was going to go over, but then we released it and it went over so well.
Jordan: It's cool to hear from people in their mid-20's who sort of grew up on us say things like "wow the music has changed and it's still right there with us."
For those of you who were recording on the last album, how do you think the process was different this time around?
Will: It was SO different!
Jordan: It was cohesive this time.
Will: Yeah, this time it was a band writing music together instead of previously we'd done a lot of writing the song and then adding vocals on top of that after the song had already been written. With Bradley he was an intricate part of the process and helped write a lot of the music as well and was alongside every note of the music.
What did you guys learn this time around that you'll bring into future records?
Will: Lots! Just so much…
So most important thing you'd say you learned?
Jordan: Each other's strengths.
Bradley: Yeah, I'd say the vibe. There was a vibe going into this record that was not the most productive for us. The most important thing I think was just to be real open with communication about everything. Being in a band, especially with writing a record, is like being in a romantic relationship. Communication is the biggest thing. If someone writes something but someone else doesn't like it they have to be honest.
What do you guys want to do differently next time?
Jordan: Not so much differently, just better. It took a while to get where we got but by the end of Versus we know where we want to at least start the next record.
Bradley: I think we had so many songs going into Versus that we didn't really have a clear idea of where it was going to go. Next time I want a clear idea of where we want to go. Before it was just creating to create, now I want to have a goal or an idea in mind of what we're really trying to say.
What do you guys want to take from Versus into the next record?
Bradley: How awesome we sound! I'm just kidding…
Jordan: Leave our egos behind…
Bradley: I'm just kidding! It's a joke.
ER: The camaraderie that we had at the very end of recording Versus and to push that further. I'm excited to keep writing together and be a band.
Will: The idea that we are going to change as a band too. That fans aren't going to get the same record, and fans need to know that's something we learned in Versus that we're going to keep doing.
Bradley: We're going to keep evolving. I think there was a huge evolution in Versus and that's something I'd like to take that we keep evolving and growing.
Jordan: It's going to be whatever we want it to be, where were are at that time.
I know you just released Versus but have you thought about where you'd like to go with the next one?
Bradley: Absolutely! I have
Will: Yeah, it's way too early to name names or to talk much about it but it's definitely something that's on our brains all the time.
Do you have any general ideas of where you'd like to head musically?
Bradley: uhm… good?
Jordan: We just want to keep stretching our legs. I think we're going to try to do some stuff soon that shows different sides of the material we have.
Bradley: There's no lets write this record, lets do this. We're going to keep writing songs and the idea we have we're going to put into the songs. I want this to be more this or that. Like you said we just released it so there's no definite angle yet but once we actually go in and record how we're feeling now may not be completely how we feel then.
You guys mention the camaraderie at the end of the record, how do you think you got to that point?
Bradley: I think from some of the horrible experiences we had with Versus. It was so stressful and negative and just because of all of the weight that was on everyone's shoulders after all the time that had passed. Overcoming all of this; once we heard the record coming together and seeing what were were actually creating through all of the tribulation.
Jodan: It gave us a new starting point.
Bradley: Yeah, and I think this record is definitely a grower for me personally. I'm critical of everything so on the first listen I'm very I don't know, then I just found something in the record that stood out to me. Even though I'm a part of it the record is my favorite Emarosa record.
Jordan: I'm really excited that there are songs on the record that we haven't played live that have really contacted well with people that we didn't expect to that we decided to play those songs live to really explore those feelings that people are connecting to and getting something out of it. When we get up there and get to do that every night it's something really peaceful to do.
Which songs did you have in mind?
Jordan: "Cliff Notes" was not expected, "Gold Dust" either.
Bradley: Some of the hard ones to play emotionally that we'll have to play so we'll see how that goes.
Jordan: We're excited to try those sides of Emarosa that we haven't yet.
Bradley: This is a very high energy, for the most part, set. There's so much of the record that's a different chill emotional side that we haven't' really touched into.
How do you think you guys will handle playing those songs, and how do you think fans will react to them?
Bradley: It depends on different things; sometimes it depends on the tour, sometimes it depends on us. Some of those songs musically they really like playing but for me vocally, well emotionally, they're hard to sing. We haven't' really gotten too much into it so I'm not sure how I'll handle it.
Do you guys have anything to say to fans?
Group: Thank you!
Bradley: Thank you for sticking around; thank you for letting me personally be in the band.
Jordan: Thanks for waiting for us to put out the next record, it's pretty crazy.

|If you're easily offended (or stupid) you'll probably be upset to learn the name of this helicopter.
Identifying our powerful weapons and victorious campaigns with those we subjugated serves to lighten the burden of our guilt. It confuses violation with a fair fight.It is worse than denial; it is propaganda. The message carried by the word Apache emblazoned on one of history's great fighting machines is that the Americans overcame an opponent so powerful and true that we are proud to adopt its name. They tested our mettle, and we proved stronger, so don't mess with us. In whatever measure it is tribute to the dead, it is in greater measure a boost to our national sense of superiority. And this message of superiority is shared not just with U.S. citizens but with those of the 14 nations whose governments buy the Apache helicopters we sell. It is shared, too, with those who hear the whir of an Apache overhead or find its guns trained on them. Noam Chomsky has clarified the moral stakes in provocative, instructive terms: "We might react differently if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes 'Jew' and 'Gypsy.' "
So let me get this straight: Even though no one is offended by the "Apache" helicopter, it's still offensive? Is this like the tree falling in the woods thing?
What's more, I always thought these names were compliments to tribes that have been traditionally recognized for their military prowess. Every time I think that I haven't seen the stupidest politically correct idea, you crazy kids out there in "I'm Offended Land" always manage to outdo yourselves.
It's going to be hard to top the weapons-grade-stupid that Mr. Simon Waxman has unleashed with this piece.

He smashed attendance records and opponents in the world of professional wrestling. He body slammed the box office (and Sylvester Stallone) as he rampaged his way through Hollywood. Now he has set his sights on the video game industry.
He's the "Immortal" Hulk Hogan.
I had a chance to go toe-to-toe with "The Hulkster" at the 2011 San Diego Comic Con. While there we talked about overcoming the depression caused by his divorce and his son's accident, C.M. Punk's sudden rise in the WWE, and his video game alter-ego, Angel de la Muerte.
Gordon Holmes: How are you enjoying Comic Con?
Hulk Hogan: It's cool. The energy is over the top. Anyone that's into animation and these kinds of vicarious characterizations, they have this crazy imagination that runs wild. So to go in there and to get that energy and to be around them was really cool. I've been here a few times and realize how grateful I am that they still care about Hulk Hogan. A huge shot in the arm. The problem is 95% of the fans are men. The other 5% are good-looking women who don't bring food.
Holmes: For all the ladies reading this, I understand that Hulk Hogan is a big fan of dark chocolate.
Hogan: You'd like to kill me? Then bring as much chocolate as you can, because I will eat every bit of it.
Watch Full Episodes of 'Impact Wrestling'
Holmes: I've gotta admit, I'm still not used to you having tattoos.
Hogan: (Reading his tattoos) "I am that I am." That's the first time God talked to Moses. God said, "I am that I am." (Pointing around the room) "I am that, I am that." It just means that God is everywhere. I'm on this whole religious, crazy, spiritual, scientific trip that just changed my life.
Holmes: I read your book ("Hulk Hogan: My Life Outside the Ring"). It was particularly tough reading about the dark place you ended up emotionally after your divorce and your son's accident. But seeing all those fans, you've gotta know that people care about you.
Hogan: People are good, man.
Holmes: I'm glad you made it through that.
Hogan: Thank you, brother. No, it's cool. It all happened for a reason. The divorce, the wreck my son was in. My ego was always present, I thought it was the worst thing that'd ever happened. But as soon as my ego became dormant, and I had this God space that I function in that I call "The Sweet Spot," I realized everything happened for a reason. That's my Bible thumping for the day, brother!
Holmes: You're doing a video game, "Saints Row the Third." I've seen a video of it and it looks insane. You play Angel de la Muerte. What can you tell me about him?
Hogan: It's pretty crazy because they've taken the best of the wrestling community and plugged it into some superhero character. We've got the standard good guy/bad guy story; his partner Killbane turned on him.
Holmes: Was it tough making the transition to a video game voice actor?
Hogan: When I got into the vocal booth I had a bunch of help from the people who created the game. And once I found that sweet spot where Angel should be, I think I beat it up pretty good. But I laugh because now these guys are going to have to keep using me. But the character is great, and there seems to be a ton of interest. He has the knee brace on the same knee that I hurt originally. These guys are the best of the best at what they do. I think they're on to something.
Holmes: Your character Angel de la Muerta was turned on by his partner Killbane. That seems like Wrestling Feud 101.
Hogan: The conflict is pretty easy. It's the storyline driven stuff that makes wrestling work. Some of the new writers and new breed of wrestlers try to make more out of it than what it is. They'll elaborate on the storylines, but the people don't remember that. All they remember is the good guys go like this (holds his fists up) and the bad guys go like that (cowers in fear). Good guys go forward, bad guys go backward.
Holmes: I know you have a history of partners turning on you with Paul Orndorff, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, "Macho Man" Randy Savage…
Hogan: I think the ultimate act of betrayal is when a friend or a partner turns on you. Even more so in real life, because I have had someone, who was a good friend, turn on me. Macho Man did. And thank God, right before he passed away we started talking again.
Holmes: How did that reconciliation take place?
Hogan: It was really cool because I was going on my seventh back surgery and I couldn't pass an EKG because my body was so stressed out from all the anesthesia. The doctor was trying to see what I could do to get this back surgery, I was sitting there with my new wife Jennifer and all the sudden the door bangs open and we hear, (imitating the "Macho Man") "Hey, what's up, brother? Oh yeah!" And I thought, "Oh my God, it's Randy." And my wife Jennifer didn't know who he was. But, just the fact that we got back together after all of that conflict and him turning on me…and he turned on me on a personal level. He thought I was responsible for his divorce and his business deals and stuff. He confided in me that he felt bad for all the things I went through with my problems. And he said, "I feel so bad that I was such a jackass." And he was really cool and we talked.
Holmes: So there's hope for Angel and Killbane to patch things up?
Hogan: I can't wait for the day where he begs for forgiveness and repents. This is the artform of life, brother, and it works. And that's why this game is going to work. And that's why it's always worked; good vs. evil.
Holmes: Does Angel de la Muerte bust out any of your classic moves?
Hogan: He uses everything, brother. They have the technology to make him drop legs, suplex Killbane off of the top of the cage like I did to the Big Bossman back in the day. He can do whatever he wants in there, brother, because he doesn't have any injuries except for that weak knee.
Holmes: Who wins in a fight; Hulk Hogan or Angel de la Muerte?
Hogan: I'll put him over (wrestling slang for letting someone win).
Holmes: That's good for the game. Makes Angel look strong.
Hogan: That means we get to go again, right? It was a fluke, brother!
Holmes: You slipped on a banana peel.
Hogan: (Laughs) I slipped on a banana peel. The sun was in my eyes. I just need to know if you were better than me on that day. You've gotta put him over. That's why I don't understand the (John) Cena thing. The first one was free; two good guys, him and the Rock. You don't have to turn him heel yet (wrestling slang for becoming a bad guy).
Holmes: Are you paying attention to what's going on in the WWE?
Hogan: Yeah, man, they're saying my name every week.
Holmes: What does it mean to you when you tune in and hear them talking about you?
Hogan: It's a huge compliment for them to say my name. It's a huge compliment that they're open-minded. It makes me realize that I'm Terry Bollea and I'm very humble with how nice people are to me, but there's really something to this Hulk Hogan character. That's why I had "Immortal" tattooed on my back. The religious thing is that I'm going to live forever because I've accepted Christ as my savior, which is the main reason, along with the fact that the Hulk Hogan character is going to be a part of history. The character is going to be immortal. Just like TNA's alive again, getting ready for the red and the yellow, it makes me realize that no matter what happens in the WWE Universe, I'm part of that history package. So, it's really cool when they name drop me.
Holmes: There have been moments that have changed the modern era of the wrestling business. One was when you defeated the Iron Sheik for the WWE (then WWF) title.
Hogan: (Imitating the Iron Sheik) I can't believe you, jabroni!
Holmes: (Laughs) Watch your language if you're going to do a Sheik impersonation.
Hogan: (Laughs) I know, brother. I'm not going to mention Brian Blair.
Holmes: (Laughs) Other moments are the formation of the nWo and Steve Austin's "Austin 3:16" speech. Some are saying C.M. Punk's interview has this potential. Did you have a chance to catch the episode of "Raw" a few weeks ago where Punk vented about the state of the WWE?
Hogan: Yeah, as soon as Vince deregulated wrestling in the '80s and told everybody that it's entertainment and the finishes are predetermined, he decided that it's a better move not to insult the people's intelligence. We're not out there saying "It's real, brother!" I mean, it's not fake because of all of the injuries. So, even though Vince has deemed it entertainment, people still want to believe. And when C.M. Punk did his thing, I think people just want to believe. Even on my Twitter account, people are saying, "Hey, are you going to hire C.M. Punk? If John Cena gets fired he says he's coming to your company!" I think it is so cool that people, even if you tell them that it is predetermined, that the art form, when done correctly, people can still get sucked into it. They still want to live vicariously through the wrestlers. It makes me realize that wrestling will always be around.
Holmes: Do you think Punk has what it takes to be the next big thing?
Hogan: It depends. It's not Punk's decision, it's Vince McMahon. When he was on TV the other night and said he could make ten John Cenas, that's true. When Vince McMahon says he can make another Hulk Hogan, that's true. Everybody's replaceable. It's the power of the TV, it's not the power of the wrestlers. Now, if you're given the football, you've got to be able to run with it. Cause a lot of guys were given the ball. The Rock ran with it a certain distance. Stone Cold ran with it a certain distance. Hulk Hogan ran with it a certain distance. We all have our run. But it's really the power of the TV. TV is the star.
"Impact Wrestling" airs Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Spike TV.
"Saints Row the Third" will be released for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on November 15, 2011.

Changing How Students Learn
Company focused on building interactive textbooks is already reaching more than 50,000 students at 200 universities and colleges
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) — A group of professors from University of California, Riverside, University of Arizona, UC Davis and UC Irvine have had enough.
While the web has transformed shopping, entertainment, socializing, and more, they say its use in college education mostly replicates old paradigms such as posting lectures online as videos and putting textbooks online as pdfs.
"That's like building an eight-lane superhighway, and then populating it with horses," said Frank Vahid, a professor of computer science and engineering at UC Riverside.
Meanwhile, he says teachers are getting squeezed from all sides: Larger classes, fewer resources, less grading help, and students who don't read textbooks due to the exorbitant costs and a mismatch with today's hands-on learning styles.
Vahid puts it like this: "For the past decade, teachers have been teaching with one hand tied behind their back."
So, in 2012, Vahid and his former UC Irvine Ph.D. classmate Smita Bakshi, also formerly a UC Davis professor and currently a professional in Silicon Valley's high-tech industry, founded zyBooks.com. Their goal: Reinvent college learning material, by starting from scratch, for the web.
"We began by thinking of the student first – what material is best for their style of learning and their modern ways of interacting with technology?" Bakshi said. "We decided to create entirely new material, because when you write for the web, you write differently – it's less about text and explanations, and more about interactivity and doing."
In 2012, Vahid and Roman Lysecky, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Arizona, began to write entire textbook replacements natively for the web, starting with several topics in computer science.
Vahid, Bakshi, and Lysecky recruited more authors, including professors from UC Irvine and UC Davis. They now have materials – what they call "zyBooks" – in about 10 topics related to computer science, engineering, and math, with more in production. Creation of those materials is now led by a team of seven engineers, all of whom who are UC Riverside graduates, including Scott Sirowy, who left a position as head of mobile apps at a multi-billion-dollar company to become zyBooks' engineering director.
The material uses minimal text. Instead it is filled with interactive items such as animations, learning questions, and tools/simulations. Auto-graded "homework" activities are weaved directly into the material, often with auto-generated problems of varying difficulty.
"As much as I admire the recent efforts in creating free or open-source learning materials, our students deserve much more," Vahid said. "We've come up with the right formula: highly-interactive material at low prices and we have research that shows it works."
In early 2013, they started with just three universities. Now, they are being used at 200 colleges and universities (and several high schools) by more than 50,000 students.
"The growth has been faster than we expected" Lysecky said. "We struck a chord. I think teachers, myself included, see that zyBooks enable them to do their jobs better; students learn the basics from the online material, even before lecture, so teachers can focus on the more challenging concepts and on interesting examples."
Bakshi agreed.
"Teachers forward emails to us from their students calling the material 'Amazing' — I mean, what student calls a book 'Amazing'?" she said.
zyBooks have already taken over about 5 percent of the market for introductory computer science topics. But Vahid and the others aren't just striving to gain market share. Their goal is to really help students learn. Research shows they are accomplishing this goal.
One research study showed students using zyBooks on average got 16 percent better scores compared to those using a traditional book, and voluntarily spend twice as much time interacting with the zyBook. Notably, the initially weaker students (the lowest quartile) did 64 percent better. That research received a best paper award from ASEE (American Society for Engineering Education) 2014, the main forum for engineering education research.
A more recent study they conducted, which involved 2,000 students at three universities, showed improvements in all aspects of student performance (quizzes, exams, projects), including 1/3 to 1/2 improvements in letter grades, and fewer D's and F's too.
The research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and Google.

|Still some knitting edges to do on the two remaining sides.
|Cutting open between steeks.
But stranded knitting would be out of the question for jackets and shawls without it. This time I made three sewn steeks on top of each other just to be sure.
I want a big shawl and since this is my first one I had no idea about the actual size before cutting it open.
And that feeling of cutting the last stitch and lift it up - worth a million!!! Just what I wanted in size.
Now, I did not like the edge from the pattern. It does not give a proper frame to the shawl. And this kind of shawl without a pointy end was not to my liking.
So I started searching online and found a very skilled knitter in Denmark who shares all her knowledge even for free.
I did not have to invent everything and wondering if I knitted the edge right. With such a huge shawl it would be impossible to me. So thank you Anne for all your help.
So, last thing to do now: Pick up stitches along the two other edges and knit the last ones. I can see the end of the project and I already love it so much. What a fun knit. See about yarn and much more on my Ravelry page.
Everything will be all right in the end. If it is not all right, then it is not yet the end

Here in Chicago, there are an innumerable amount of corporate events that happen throughout the year. My assignments have ranged from small christmas parties at a brewery along the Magnificent Mile to international conventions hosted at McCormick Place that last nearly a week. In each case, the parameters are always incredibly different but the way to go about preparing for the job to completing the assignment are essentially the same.
The first thing I like to cover once the client(s) and I come to an agreement on the rate and usage is to go over the event in detail. I have a list of to-do's and questions that I go over with my clients just to make sure we are all prepared.
1. First, we develop a schedule of the event that includes where I need to be and when in addition to any attendees or speakers who are of particular importance. This way, I am where I need to be when I am needed most and focus on who might need more photographic coverage.
2. Discuss the dress code. Yes, this may seem obvious and of course the look always needs to be professional but it is also crucial to blend in. The key is to be unobtrusive, so wearing a business suit may not be the best idea when covering a golf outing or walkathon.
3. Take some time to scout the location together.
- This is a must and really can take just a few minutes. The key is to find the perfect spots where I can get the best photos while at the same time being as unnoticeable as possible. As each assignment varies, it becomes very easy to anticipate if there is room to move more freely or if I need to stay put.
4. Photographing corporate events can be inherently difficult as the lighting from room to room can change greatly and in some cases be almost non-existent. In this case, I rely on on-camera flash.
- Technically, I prefer to use flash as I can then change my ISO settings to a lower sensitivity which consequently produces images that are less grainy.
- As flash can be distracting, it is imperative for the client to know, especially when photographing meetings, that flash will be necessary but I am also careful not to allow too much use to become invasive.
5. Be accessible at all times to each other.
- There is always something that comes up that may have been unanticipated. A key moment that defines the event itself. So, always keep your cell on hand, on vibrate, just in case. I could be in another room finishing up some general promo shots when the keynote speaker is having a moment with the CEO. I can always be reached and it helps to know I am not far when the next photo opportunity presents itself.
The key to providing exceptional corporate event photography is not only to cover this checklist but to anticipate our clients' needs and adapt accordingly. This is what sets commercial photographers apart.

In case you missed it, mathematicians are pretty obsessed with prime numbers – the limitless 'atoms' of the mathematical world that are only divisible by themselves and one.
People are so into them, in fact, that there's a continual push (and even financial incentive) to compute larger and larger new prime numbers.
But one of the world's top mathematicians thinks the key to taking things to the next level could come from an ancient Greek algorithm, called the sieve of Eratosthenes.
The sieve of Eratosthenes is pretty much what it sounds like – a mathematical sieve that helps people filter out prime numbers.
Developed by Eratosthenes of Cyrene, a Greek mathematician and astronomer (and former director of the famed Library of Alexandria) back in around 240 BC, the sieve allows people to determine all the primes between a certain set of numbers.
It works by having you write all the numbers out (say 1 to 100) and then you start crossing numbers off in a particular order – the multiples of 2 (other than 2) are first to go, then the multiples of 3, etc. starting from the next number that hadn't been crossed out.
Any remaining numbers on your messy piece of paper have survived the sieve, and therefore must be primes.
That sounds a little clunky for today's standards (the latest prime number discovered was 22 million digits long), but the sieve of Eratosthenes can also be turned into an algorithm that computers can use to run primes.
There's one big problem with that algorithm, though – it takes up a crap load of memory, making it pretty inefficient for modern mathematicians to use.
But now a top mathematician, Harald Helfgott, has found a way to streamline the sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm – and thinks it could hold the key to future prime number discoveries.
Helfgott is a Peruvian mathematician from France's National Centre for Scientific Research and the University of Göttingen in Germany. He rose to fame in the maths world when, back in 2013, he solved a 271-year-old problem called Goldbach's weak conjecture.
Now, according to Matías Loewy from Scientific American, Helfgott has set his sights even further back, and come up with an improved version of the sieve of Eratosthenes that reduces the amount of computer memory it requires.
"Like many other children, I was taught this it in primary school when I was 10, with a table," Helfgott told Loewy, referring to the sieve.
Realising that there must be a way to make it efficient with modern computers, he used something called the circle method to make the sieve of Eratosthenes work with a whole lot less memory.
"In mathematical terms: instead of needing a space N, now it is enough to have the cube root of N," writes Loewy.
That might not sound that impressive, but mathematician Jean Carlos Cortissoz from Cornell University and Los Andes University, who wasn't part of the research, puts it into perspective for Scientific American:
"Let's pretend that you are a computer and that to store data in your memory you use sheets of paper. If to calculate the primes between 1 and 1,000,000, you need 200 reams of paper (10,000 sheets), and with the algorithm proposed by Helfgott you will only need one fifth of a ream (about 100 sheets)."
That condensing could slow things down a bit, but Helfgott believes computers could be able to make up for that by using cache memory, which is smaller but faster than RAM.
There are plenty of other techniques and algorithms out there that mathematicians are using for finding primes, but what Helfgott thinks sets the sieve of Eratosthenes apart is that it could also be used to perform operations such as factorisation – the basis of modern cryptography.
And, who knows, it could also be the tool that helps him find the next new prime number. With US$150,000 on the line for whoever finds the first 100-million-digit prime, there's a lot of incentive out there.
The ideas behind the upgraded sieve of Eratosthenes was presented in July at the XXI Latin American Colloquium of Algebra in Buenos Aires, and Sinapsis 2016 in Paris.

Cyber crimes and computer breaches have cropped up as a big time bother to every sector on this planet. Vulnerability analysis tables find the top preferences on the crime experts' desks. Online fraudsters with their smart wits and staying ahead of the crime intelligences and other legal intelligences are often high lightened in Hollywood movies and criminal cases in soaps and serials.
The sophisticated attacks are no longer a fiction in the Agatha Christie and Sherlock pages. Criminals and masterminds give shape to their master plans and mould them by choosing their targets, studying them carefully, launching reconnaissance attacks and quietly burrowing their way into the corporate networks. This is specifically what is coined as criminal logic. This includes an ever growing tools & tactics. This leads to the compromise of the legitimate websites and forcing them to serve Malware for the selection of the visitors. Traditional endpoint security techniques are unfortunately not designed for the understanding of the logic behind these attacks.
Serious exemplary crimes
Let us take an exemplary case of the commonly exploited sites, browser and content reader vulnerabilities.
How they make it work
When an organization for examples is chosen as a target along with its employees, the victim along with the identified victim's friends or business colleagues face the tune. Fake emails are received by the targeted employees. These fake emails vary from fake LinkedIn to Facebook friendship requests. These contain links which lead to compromised servers which install malware by squeezing dry both known & unknown vulnerabilities in the browser of the employee and other content readers.
Hopes and remedies
As hopes never dries up though tactics often fail as criminals adeptly obfuscate their attack codes. Fields can best succeed with protections through threat intelligence & adaptability. The following measures may be acclimatized.
Focusing on crime logic
Though the attacks against the other enterprises are a bit different from the attacks against the organizations, the same crime logic is applied. This includes similar application manipulation, similar vulnerability, and almost the same data capturing transmission techniques, etc. ones best chance to prevent these attacks when they hit us is to have solutions which can identify crime logic instead of file patterns.
Having layers of protection
There is no one type of product or defense or vendor that is capable of providing all of the security an enterprise or an organization wants. One of the most effective solutions to avoid being jeopardized is to apply a multiple layers of protections. Applying them at the gateways, on the endpoints and within the networks works effectively in keeping the threats to its minimal.
This has been a brief introduction to the massive ocean of cyber-crimes which can give you readers a hint of what's it all about.

Isn't it crazy how the world is constantly changing? It seems like just yesterday, children had to hand-write a letter or visit Santa in person at the local mall if they wanted to make sure that their wish list was received by the man himself. Then, as computers became more and more prevalent in homes, children could type and email their lists. Now with Google Voice, Santa is just a phone call away!
Of course you can still hand-write, visit the mall or email your letters to Santa, but how cool would it be to actually get a response via a Google Voice message? This year you can. If you know someone who would like to hear from Santa, you can create and send a personalized phone message at the Send a Call from Santa site.
Before you receive your special message from Santa, maybe you or your kids would like to call and leave a request for Santa. You can do that too. Just dial his Google Voice number at 855-34-SANTA.
In addition to calling Santa, don't forget to keep up with his location as he travels around the globe. You can track his journey while he delivers presents on Google Maps, Google Earth with the plug-in and on your mobile phone.
For more information about Santa's Google Voice number, visit the Send a Call from Santa site.

Easter Eggs are treats for kids on Easter. But when you think about it How do Easter eggs relate to the Easter story? Well I have been reading some Easter stories for kids and also Easter stories for bigger people. But really how the heck do the Easter stories have anything to do with Easter eggs?
Personally, I believe the catholic version of the Easter story. From my readings I have found out that Easter eggs actually symbolize A new day or rebirth and new life. Also most Easter eggs are hollow because of the tomb that Jesus was buried in. Now chocolate eggs are used for most Easter activities. Such as the traditional Easter egg hunt!

I will look back on this Christmas and see the funny side… Eventually. O.K I may be exaggerating a little but let's just say our first Christmas eating out ended with a full refund demanded by my brother. Our table hadn't been cleaned before we sat down and we were placed in a cold damp room with paint peeling off the walls. The food wasn't actually that bad despite having to wait for my vegetarian pie whilst already 20 minutes into eating the rest of the trimmings.
The carvery had run out of all meats apart from Turkey so if you hadn't ordered turkey you were going to get it anyway… And served by a carver who looked like he was going to burst into tears under pressure. All the staff were over worked and looked stressed and miserable, in fact the guy that we had waiting on our table admitted that he didn't even work at that restaurant and had been roped into helping out.
As I got up to go to the toilet I could hear people complaining left, right and centre and the manager, in turmoil at this time looked like he wanted to run far far away from the place as he could get. By the time we left there were people queuing up for refunds. Very poor organisation was to blame for such a shambolic event. 1) they should have got more staff in, especially kitchen staff and 2) they should have made the carvery a ticketed process where the carver could tell what meat everyone had ordered. I don't even work in a restaurant and that's just common sense.
While watching this whole disaster unravel I managed to stay composed and remain positive throughout. It will certainly be a Christmas to remember anyway. On a much happier note, it was lovely to spend the day with my family.

Absolutely, Penny. If all your spam is admittedly shiny paper, the brick may cut up but our spam includes normal paper texture. My spam, old payments, envelopes and so on all make their manner into my bricks (usually blended with newspaper) to be burned. Quite a lot of producers similar to Sony, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Coby, Alcatel, Archos, Pandigital, Polaroid, ViewSonic, Kyocera and Kobo trusted MobiSystems and preloaded Workplace Suite worldwide.
Nylon zip ties, also called cable ties, are handy to have round. I take advantage of them a lot to tie together display gadgets that need propping up, or (I hate to say it) be stolen. Select one colour for a display or bulletin board and feature props, books, and many others. in varied shades of that color. Once you get all the lines like you need them, you'll be able to go over the lines that you wish to hold with a high quality tipped marker. This will make the strains bolder and darker, and will be simpler to see underneath your last surface.

For many tobacco businesses, nothing is more valuable than a loyal customer. Loyal customers can act as ambassadors for your brand, helping to bring their own network of friends and acquaintances to your products. They expose their family to their preferred brand, creating generations of loyalty and patronage. While getting a customer to make more than one purchase is great, converting a returning customer into a loyal one is hard work.
Here are several ways your tobacco business can not only retain your customer base but earn you customer's loyalty at the same time.
1. Reward Loyalty
Reward your best customers with incentives. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibits free samples, some incentive programs are allowed, especially those where a transaction is involved. Drew Estate, for example, has created a program called Drew Diplomat that rewards both retailers and consumers. The more Drew Estate products a consumer purchases, the bigger chance he or she has in earning personalized and one-of-a-kind swag created by Drew Estate's graffiti artists working at Subculture Studios.
"Retail shop owners sometimes forget to not just communicate out transactional content. Yes, its important to communicate out when your next event is, or when you are running a great deal, but I like to see it when a retailer provides transformational content: content that rewards the consumer for patronizing their business," explains Sam Morales, Director of Marketing at Drew Estate.
2. Get Their Email Address
Almost everyone has an email address and reaching out to your customers about new products, events or post-purchase follow ups is simple with an email. Email marketing should be part of every tobacco business' marketing efforts. Go a step further and use email to create a sense of community with your customers.
Djarum, an Indonesian clove cigarette brand, created an entire year-long email campaign to engage with its customers around special occasions and activities–birthdays, celebrations, relaxing moments, nightlife, food and drink pairings. These emails serve as a reminder of Djarum's product lineup with tips for consumers on how Djarum fits into their lifestyle.
3. Don't Ignore Your Existing Customers
For many businesses, the hustle is often about gaining new customers and making more profits, leading to the unintended neglect of your existing customers. Whether its with a loyalty program or highlighting your customers through social media, remember that you must be enthusiastic and appreciative of your customers consistently over time, not just when you've first acquired them.
Erica Arroyo, the Marketing Director of Social Media for Cornelius & Anthony, uses social media to acknowledge the brand's customers and to thank them for their ongoing support and loyalty. "It's about our supporters," she explains. "What I want is anyone who's smoking our cigars is to be recognized and to show our appreciation to them because I appreciate every single person," she explains. "I make sure they're recognized and I thank them. That's what needs to be shown in social media."
4. Exceed Expectations
Have you heard of the phrase, "Under promise but over deliver?" If not, adopt it as your business' new mantra. Every customer has expectations about your business and what he or she will gain from it. To earn a customer's loyalty, you need to set out to exceed his or her expectations on a regular basis.
"Customers are giving you their hard-earned money. They're giving you their trust. Serving customers is a challenge–make sure you're living up to their expectations, make sure you're getting it right all the time, ensure operational improvements, and make sure you always have the right amount of inventory so that your customers want to keep doing business with you," advises Ted Swearingen, Chief Operating Officer at SmokingPipes.com.
5. Ask for Feedback
What do your customers think about your business and its products? When is the last time you've asked for a review or for feedback? According to BrightLocal's 2014 Local Consumer Review Survey, 88 percent of consumers read reviews to judge the quality of a local business and that same percentage of consumers say that they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
Feedback and reviews have figured heavily into the cigar category for years with reviewers and various media outlets awarding cigars a numeric grade that is later incorporated into a company's marketing efforts. Feedback can be as complex or as simple as you'd prefer, ranging from a pop-up questionnaire on your website asking how your business is doing to seeking feedback on a product and sharing those testimonials with other retailers and customers.
Invest your time and efforts into building a loyal customer base and you will see the benefits for years to come.

HARC Team Rotterdam find 2500 kilos of cocaine; five men arrested
The HARC (Hit And Run Container) Team, a cooperation of the Seaport Police, Customs and the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) have found 2500 kilos of cocaine in a container that had been imported with a seagoing vessel from Ecuador. The illegal drugs were hidden in boxes between boxes with tinned peaches.
The HARC Team caught wind of the container after a tip-off. On 12 June, the container arrived in the port of Rotterdam. Subsequently Customs drug detector dogs were sent to the container. When they started barking, the container was scanned, after which the boxes with illegal drugs were found.
The investigation then led to five suspects. Four of them could be arrested in The Hague on 23 June. Shortly before the arrests, one of the suspects had been beaten up by the others. The man was slightly injured. These are four men from The Hague, Rijswijk and Zoetermeer aged 40, 50, 56 and 59. The four were brought before the Examining Magistrate on Monday and remanded in custody.
The fifth suspect, a 32-year old inhabitant of Amsterdam, was arrested at his domicile on Tuesday. He will be brought before the Examining Magistrate on Friday. The cocaine has a wholesale value of more than 80 million euros and has meanwhile been destroyed.

A few weeks ago Britton and I spent the better part of a day hiking in the jungle on our island of Tarakan. We were trying to find a good place that we could go camping some time--he and I and the rest of the Forney boys. I had spotted a place from the air that looked promising. Even though it's only about 60 seconds from the end of the runway by air, it took us an hour and a half to walk there.
When we got to the area I had seen from above, the jungle opened up into a wide sandy area surrounded by cool looking trees, where a tiny little stream apparently floods when it rains. We saw tons of monitor lizard and pig tracks all over the place. There were hawks and birds and butterflies and the big big yellow flower pictured below. The flower was about the size of Britton's head!
We had a good time exploring around and then we stopped for lunch at an abandoned campsite that we found. It looked like a good place to come back to, although it would be a pretty tough hike for the twins.
Since the main objective of our little expedition was to find a good camping spot (but not actually to camp this time) we didn't plan on stopping to cook food or anything. We had brought some cold pieces of leftover pizza that Joy had made the night before, and some floppy leftover waffles from earlier that morning for snacks. Tried to keep it simple.
But what's a hike in the jungle without a fire? NOTHING! That's what it is! Every boy needs to make a fire--it's practically required that you build a fire if you're feeling manly in the woods! By the way, the wood and leaves may look dry, but trust me, looks can be deceiving. It's really, really hard to make a fire in the jungle without kerosene or something to help. But we eventually succeeded, thanks in large part to what I've picked up from the guides on all the long-distance jungle hikes I've done.
So what's a fire good for in the middle of a hot, muggy, sweaty afternoon (besides proving your manliness?) if you have nothing to roast? NOTHING! We just HAD to find something to roast, but we'd already eaten all the pizza. And then it struck us both at the same time--waffles! We could roast the waffles! So that's what we did. And how did they taste you might ask? Well, Britton summed it all up when he bit into the first one and said, "It tastes like a hot, burned, smoky waffle...with no syrup." Yup. That's what they tasted like. But it was fun!
On the way back we saw a bunch of carnivorous plants. There's a lot of different kinds of fly trap plants in Kalimantan, and this is just one of them. This variety typically grows in clusters on the ground. They fill with rain water and then when the insects are drawn to the lip, they slip into the inside and drown. The plant then digests them. Yummy!
The fly trap plants (pictured above) were located just beside the little stream that we were following (pictured below). The stream was pretty neat because it was following a line of coal that was right there on the surface. It literally cut a channel right through the dark, black, shiny coal. There's a lot of coal in Tarakan, and throughout this part of Kalimantan. The water was actually crystal clear before we walked through it and stirred it up. It looked odd seeing a crystal clear steam running through a channel of pitch black coal like that.
Well, those are officially the last pictures that were ever taken by my point and shoot camera that I had just gotten this past summer. Unbeknownst to me, when I went to put it back into the pocket of my backpack, it went "plop", right into the creek. Fifteen minutes later I went to get it out and couldn't find it. Eventually we found it...submerged in the water pretty close to where Britton is standing. I was able to salvage the pictures, but the camera was toast! Bummer!!! Well, I guess it's a good thing it was just a point and shoot and not my "good camera". Jungles are not friendly to electronics!

A mix of egg whites and whole eggs are the basis for a custard for a quiche filled with broccoli and cheese. Broccoli Cheese Quiche is perfect for breakfast or breakfast for dinner.
Pin Broccoli Cheese Quiche here.
We are a quiche loving family. Even my little one will devour a piece of quiche loaded with the dreaded green vegetables. I happened to buy two quiche from Costco to keep in the freezer for those nights or mornings I don't have time to cook. One was broccoli cheese quiche and the other was spinach and artichoke. I decided to try the broccoli cheese quiche first. My daughter does like broccoli, but flatly refuses to eat any leafy green vegetables. I know, it is a total "mommy fail". She will eat a quail egg, smoked salmon or a whole artichoke, but if she even gets a whiff of a leafy green vegetable, she is moaning and groaning. The frozen quiche was delicious. We all really loved it. Ly even ate the spinach and artichoke one. Then she asked when we could have them again.
I have been avoiding Costco as we tend to spend too much when we go. So, I decided to make them myself. Quiche is so easy to make. I cheated and bought a premade pie crust. You can either make a crust or buy one. I have a few recipes with crusts that are made of only olive oil, spaghetti squash or whole wheat. I was going for exceedingly simple and low stress. This quiche is also filled with broccoli, a whole bag of frozen broccoli. You can use fresh, but again I was trying to make something quick and easy. We devoured this quiche, too. Next I am going to try to make a spinach and artichoke one and see if I can get Ly to eat that one, as well I will be sure to pass along that recipe.
I did not freeze this Broccoli Cheese Quiche, so I do not know how it will do in the freezer. I have frozen many other quiche with success. This one was gone within 24 hours. I would love to make up a few and keep them in the freezer. With all of the holidays and activities coming up, they will be a life saver. Try it yourself and let me know how it turns out for you.

In a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat, sauté the onions and broccoli in oil until all the liquid from the vegetables has been released and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Spoon the broccoli mixture evenly onto bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle cheese on top.
In a medium bowl, whisk together whole eggs, egg whites, milk, salt and pepper.
Pour into the pie crust.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the custard is cooked.

5 Payment Models for ACO Providers
As accountable care organizations form across the country, their leaders are still determining which payment arrangements best align the organization's physicians with performance improvements and incentivize them to work toward the triple aim of ACOs: improving the quality of care and patient outcomes while lowering costs. Along with that goal, provider organizations must also consider the amount of risk they are willing to assume in a payment model.
The American Academy of Actuaries broke down five popular ACO payment models in a recent report.
"One-sided" shared savingsIn this arrangement, providers can share in a portion of the savings they achieve in a modified fee-for-service model. This benefits providers because it is only upside risk. They will not share in any financial losses.
However, this arrangement may lead to misaligned incentives, according to the report. "If bonuses are benchmarked on historical costs, an ACO has an incentive to increase utilization and incur higher costs in the benchmark period, thereby creating opportunities for saving in future years," the report's authors wrote. Also, this model may reward organizations that used to be very inefficient and punish cost-efficient providers.
"Two-sided" shared savingsProviders take on downside and upside risk in this fee-for-service based payment model. According to the AAA report, this model strongly incentivizes providers to reduce costs due to the downside risk. As with the one-sided model, there is a possibility of misaligned incentives with this arrangement.
Bundled/episode paymentsIn a bundled payment scenario, providers get a single payment for all of one patient's services for one episode of care. Providers take on most of the risk in this area, according to the AAA report. "The…providers bear the severity of risk – or the risk related to the degree of complication in the patient's case," the report says. They take on the financial risk if the cost of treating an episode of care exceeds the payment. However, the report notes that the ACO does not take on the incidence risk in this arrangement.
Partial capitation/global paymentsThe ACO assumes partial risk in the partial capitation payment arrangement. "An ACO may be at risk for some or all of physicians' services…but not for hospital or other non-physician services," according to the report.
Global paymentsThe provider organization assumes a great amount of risk with global payments. With this arrangement, providers receive monthly or annual payments, regardless of the care services they performed in that time period. It strongly incentivizes providers to lower the cost of care. "The only way for a provider to increase its financial benefit is to increase efficiency and reduce costs," the report says.
To be successful in this model, providers need systems similar to those that payors use to monitor and manage cost and utilization, according to the report.
All of these payment arrangements have their pros and cons for both provider organizations and payors. However, the payment of individual care providers in an ACO needs to be considered as well, according to the report. "The success of an ACO is affected by the degree to which its individual providers are aligned and willing to participate and coordinate care," the report says. Therefore, the chosen payment model should impact a large portion of the providers in the organization and be easy to understand so the providers are invested in the ACO and improving care delivery.

FORT POLK, La. — The U.S. Army is seeking new homes for a herd of about 700 feral horses that roam the grounds of Fort Polk, saying they threaten soldiers who train at the Army post.
The Army says fewer than 50 horses roamed the grounds 20 years ago, but the herd has grown as horses give birth and people abandon their animals on the base.
Some protesters say the horses were roaming freely in the surrounding Kisatchie National forest long before the Army took over. But a judge has ruled they are not federally protected as wild horses, and are technically trespassing.
The Army has begun taking applications at email@example.com. Garrison commander Col. David Athey is urging people interested to work through nonprofit animal wefare groups, but there's also a signup for individuals.

Looking at this years recent breakthroughs in the medical world, I discovered an article about Lung Cancer Detection Test and was absolutely amazed.
The article stated that this detection test has being trialled in Scotland for the first time and if it becomes successful, then we can Detect Cancer 5 years earlier than we would normally do with our current Detection method. The way it works is that, using EarlyCDT–Lung – a simple blood test that detects the cancer from an earlier stage of development. The blood test locates antibodies that are produced in the blood when lung cancer is present, which hints early signs of a tumour to doctors.
The trial will go ahead in Scotland and would be tested on 10,000 heavy smokers.
I think this new discovery of the Detection test is absolutely brilliant, as you can diagnose a patient at an early stage of cancer, therefore there is a much better chance of treating cancer successfully.
If more and more things like this are done to fight cancer, then we can finally cure it one day.
