Sinking Island review
The Story:
An eccentric billionaire named Walter Jones has had an enormous tower built on a heavenly atoll. The tower is more than 200 meters high and meant to be a luxury hotel for the jet set. This architectural madness is built entirely in the "art deco" style, which Jones particularly appreciates.
Before its official opening, ten people are reunited on the island, each one brought by different reasons and motives. It is at this moment that Walter Jones is found dead, lying next to his wheelchair.
An investigator, a specialist in complex cases, is sent to the scene. He will have to investigate the crime and find the guilty party. All ten people have a motive for wanting the death of the construction magnate, but only one is guilty.
During the 3 days that the investigation lasts, the tower, too heavy for its coral foundation, will slowly but surely sink into the ocean. With it, will go Walter Jones and the precious clues...
In Sinking Island you play the role of Jack Norm, and you will have three days to conclude your investigation before the island sinks for good. You will need to gather evidence, find clues, and interrogate the suspects. Jack is called by a friend who is unable to go to the island to work the case. It appears to be a simple accident, but soon Jack will learn that the accident is really a murder investigation. What was supposed to be a short and easy case will be far more complicated than he expected.
The opening scene with Jack arriving by helicopter on the island is quite an interesting cutscene. The sound effects are great, and the the scenery is very beautiful. A few minutes after his arrival, he is already jumping right into his investigation.
I should note that the language is somewhat mature. There is nothing too explicit or over the edge, but it should be mentioned.
Sinking Island is a third person point and click adventure game. After starting the game, an empty frame appears. You will need to click on the Start button in the bottom right side of the screen, then a start-up menu will appear with Continue, Create, Load and Delete a Profile. On the bottom left of the screen is either the Back, Menu, or Quit buttons. In the main menu you can resume, start a new game, load a game, select Options (with subtitles, video options, and sound controls), see the credits, and view some of the cinematics. You can access the main menu from within the game by pressing Esc key.
When you start a new game, you will have to select the game mode you want to play in. The choices are a regular adventure game or a race against time where you will need to complete your investigation before time runs out. I chose the regular adventure game mode.
After starting the game, you will see, on the top right side of the screen, a brown notebook separated into two sections. On the right side you have the Personal Police Assistant (PPA), and on the left side you can access the inventory. You need to right click to access the inventory or click on the left of the PPA. Sometimes Jack needs to stop what he is doing to eat as the poor guy gets hungry. He then goes into the dining room, and he eats what looks like a sandwich. A funny thing happened to me once. When Jack was in the dining room, he said it was time to eat some soup, but he was eating another sandwich.
One thing that bothered me was when it is time to go from one place to another, you needed to walk there. There is no map allowing you to to select where to go, and sometimes the walk is a very long one.
Character database:
In the Personal Police Assistant, you will find the character database, a clue section, and your progression in the game. As long as you progress in the game, the character database will get bigger, and you will collect more and more information about each character.
Clue database:
In the clue section, you will find material evidence, some of the documents you have collected, pictures, and the statements made by each person you interviewed.
On the top left side of the screen, you can see the actual assignment that was given to you and whether it is resolved as you find enough information about each assignment. You can see your progression by looking at the progression bar just below your assignment. When the bar is completed, it is because you have gathered all the information you need to conclude that particular assignment.
On this same page on the bottom right is a half white and half black head. If you click on it, you can make comparisons between objects, documents or pictures. Items are separated into two columns; you select one in each column to compare them.
Progression database:
There is also a Progression section where you can see how your investigation is going by looking at a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces change color when you are done with an assignment. You can tell how many assignments you have to investigate by seeing how many pieces of the jigsaw puzzle there are.
Like all of the Benoit Sokal games, the graphics are fantastic. You can see the wind blowing in the pine trees, waves breaking on the shore, lightning flashing, and rain falling from the sky. The colors and scenery are beautiful, and most of the objects in our surroundings are very detailed.
Almost all of the puzzles are inventory based or solved by connecting objects, documents, or pictures in the Personal Police Assistant. It's too bad that we don't have any of the legendary Sokal mechanical puzzles or some of his other mind draining puzzle challenges.
Interesting facts about the game:
Playeable without the CD after installation.
The game is not linear.
There is some auto saving during the game, and the save slots are unlimited.
Dialogue and sound:
Interrogating suspects will be the main task of your investigation; most of the time you will ask the different characters the same questions and will get similar answers from them. But it is when there are differences that their answers will take on more importance. Jack Norm's voice was well chosen, and the other voice actors also did a great job with their characters.
The music is quite dramatic and fits well with the atmosphere of disaster that awaits you in every corner. As in every Sokal game, the sound effects are outstanding. Realistic thunder, wind blowing, waves exploding on the shore, and people talking in the background all contribute to the feeling of impending disaster.
Bugs and/or Patches:
I didn't encounter any bugs, but the images flickered ocassionally.
Computer Specifications:
System Requirements:
OS: Windows® XP Home Pro SP2 /Vista
CPU: Pentium III 1.5 GHz or higher (Pentium IV 2.2 GHz or equivalent recommended)

My computer specifications:
OS: Windows Vista SP1
Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo 3.00 Go
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
Sound: Onboard Sound Controller
Disk space: 1st 221Go and 2nd 266 Go
DirectX 10.0c
Closing Statement:
Even with a few downsides, this game was enjoyable. It is a real mystery to solve with a great story, lots of clues, documents, images, and objects to pick up and connect so that each assignment can be resolved. The gorgeous graphics and sound effects help keep you on your mission to find out which of the mysterious characters has committed this murder. While each one has a reason to kill Walter Jones, only one has the killer instinct to carry out the crime.
The end sequence is a typical Sokal ending with a beautiful video showing Jack Norm connecting all of the dots and explaining his progression until he reaches his conclusion which is delivered to the murderer on a silver platter. No one among the suspects seems very surprised with the conclusion.
Will we see another Jack Norm investigation? I do hope so, but I also hope a few improvements will be made to the game before the next investigation takes place.

I took this through the window, from the MarQueen in Seattle. Early morning, wonderful light.

I took this on our trip to Seattle. We stayed at the MarQueen Hotel, which was built in 1918 as the Seattle Engineering School. The rooms are small apartments, complete with a kitchen with basic dishes and full size refrigerator. This picture is at breakfast, which was included. I love the old apartments and furnishings. I wake stupidly early, and the attached cafe is very handy.

Genesee County Health Department Sees Increase in Norovirus
The Genesee County Health Department (GCHD) says they have seen an increase in norovirus throughout the county and are offering up tips to help keep residents healthy.
The viruses can be spread by food, person-to-person contact or contaminated surfaces or objects. The virus itself typically includes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Some of the symptoms of norovirus include low-grade fever, headaches, fatigue and muscle aches. According to a press release from the GCHD, symptoms can last anywhere from 12 to 60 hours and those who are ill usually recover on their own. The GCHD warns that younger and older people are at greater risks for dehydration.
Some of the GCHD's tips to stay healthy are:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
- Prevent contamination of food, drinks and surfaces. Those with norovirus should not prepare or serve food for up to three days after symptoms have stopped.
- Disinfect contaminated surfaces with household chlorine bleach-based cleaners.
- Children affected should not go to school or daycare.
Additional information can be found at the Genesee County Health Department's website.

Subject: HRW: Indonesia and East Timor: Prisoner Releases
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1998 19:30:07 -0400
[Reposter's comment -- There are still hundreds of East Timorese and Indonesian prisoners being held, and many unaccounted for "disappeared." Many of those listed as released in this report were never tried, or were nearing the end of their sentences. Nevertheless, we should welcome the freedom of those released -- and continue to advocate for those who remain unjustly imprisoned. -- Charlie Scheiner, ETAN]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 26, 1998
For Further Information: Sidney Jones (New York) +1 212 216-1228 +1 718 788-2899 Mike Jendrzejczyk (Washington) +1 202 371-6592, x113
On June 4, 1998, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch issued an appeal for release of political prisoners in Indonesia and East Timor, following President Soeharto's resignation and the lifting of some political controls. Since then, the government has released several dozen prisoners, dropped charges against some detainees whose trials were pending, and "rehabilitated" others who had served sentences under the previous administration. Many of these releases took place in connection with August 17, Indonesia's independence day, which is traditionally a time when releases and remissions are announced. The released prisoners include three elderly men involved with the Indonesian Communist Party in the 1960s; several prisoners accused of links to armed nationalist movements in Aceh, Irian Jaya, and East Timor; and others accused of various political offenses.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch welcome the releases; however, both organizations urge the Indonesian Government to ensure that there is a comprehensive release program for all those detained for their peaceful political activities and for the automatic review of convictions against all political prisoners.
I. Independence Day Releases The following people were released in accordance with Presidential Decree No.42/G/1998, issued by President Habibie on August 15, 1998.

Coen Husein Pontoh, who was tried with Dita Indah Sari and received a three and a half year jail sentence, and Mohamad Sholeh who received a four year sentence, were both released on July 25 from Kalisosok Prison in Surabaya. East Timorese
Antonio Gusmăo Freitas, who was serving a one year and seven month prison sentence, Jose Gomes, who had a four year and six month sentence, and Luis Pereira, who was serving a two year and three month sentence, were all released following a presidential amnesty announced on June 10, 1998. All three men had been arrested and convicted in connection with disturbances in Baucau on June 10 and 11, 1996.

When organizing a pantry I like to start with a clean slate, meaning no food past its expiration date. I know it still might be edible but I want my clients to have such confidence in their newly organized space that they don't have to think about expired food. However, I don't want to be wasteful so here are a few ways to use expired food for non-edible purposes.
{Spices} Sprinkle expired spices around your garden to keep pesky pests away.
{Rice} Dye rice in separate cups then create beautiful works of art. (If it hasn't already, this would be a great challenge on Project Runway.)
{Canned Fruits & Vegetables} Go green and use your old fruits and vegetables to grow your own food. Compost your canned fruits and vegetables using these techniques.
{Beans} Create a toddler activity with your old beans and a muffin tin.
{Flour} For those expired bags in the pantry or if you are moving toward a gluten free diet, making playdough might be a good way to use up your flour. Check out Musings from a Stay at Home Mom for a great recipe!
{Oatmeal} Create an industrial strength hand cleanser with oatmeal and water. Mix enough water with oatmeal flakes to create a paste, rub onto dirty hands, then wash in soapy water.
{Canned Meats} Use recently expired canned tuna or chicken to make nutritious and delicious food for your pets.
These are just a few examples of ways to use food items for non-edible purposes. And as always, I love comments so let me hear your thoughts! Enjoy!

These prenatal classes likewise help the couple enjoy the final days of personal privacy that they might have for years.
The parenting courses additionally educate the parents concerning the dietary requirements that an ever growing infant needs. Many obstetricians advise that brand-new mommy's breastfeed their kids throughout the initial few months of life. Some women take their parenting courses on nursing extremely seriously and may prefer to breastfeed their child until they are almost two years of age.
These parenting courses also prepare moms for the frantic feeding timetable that a new baby will establish. It is uncommon to discover a newborn that is able to sleep all night when they are brought home from the medical facility. The parenting courses will educate new moms and dads about some suggestions that will certainly assist them to change their youngster's biological rhythm to a much better time routine.

Science GuideLines
School Year 2018-2019
Grade 7
Welcome back to another exciting school year. These guidelines will be helpful to you as it outlines my expectations, grading, homework policies and lab report formats. It is important that you read this document and with someone at home so we are all on the same page. I am excited to be teaching you this year.
What does it mean to come to class prepared?
· You will need to arrive on time; every minute is important.
· Materials to have every day are the following:
1. Journal
2. Technology
3. Agenda
4. Pen/Pencil
5. Textbook
6. Ring with Challenge Cards
Thinking like a scientist….what does that mean?
· We will be learning the scientific method ( logical way to solve problems and is the basis for the scientific research)
· We will learn the science inquiry steps. (asking scientific oriented questions, forming hypotheses, collecting evidence, forming explanations, connecting explanations scientific knowledge and theory, communicating and justifying explanations.)
Science Journal
A science journal is a written record that you will be keeping of what you are learning in class. You may write answers from textbook work, classroom notes, making observations from labs, drawings from what you are learning, notes from any videos that are watched, and notes from others' presentations. I will periodically check your journals.
Homework is a critical component to learning. Mr. Kennedy will try to assign important follow-up exercises to strength your understanding. Any late assignments will be penalized 5 points each day it is late. I expect to have homework turned into me at the beginning of each class period when it is due.
Makeups, Absences, Retakes
Make up work and absences go "hand and hand". Please come see me so we can discuss what material you missed. I will allow only a few days to turn in any missing assignments and you will not be penalized for lateness.
Retakes are granted only if you fill out the necessary paperwork and we both agree on a common time for retake period. The proper form needs to be filled out requiring a signature (parent/guardian), student, and Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy will remove the previous grade with the other grade upon completion.
Lab Reports
Lab reports are an important aspect of scientific learning. You will be expected to turn in lab reports. Learning about hypothesis, thinking critically, formulates results from doing the experiments, and justifies their findings.
I also had a wonderful meeting with other science teachers and we were able to formulate a wonderful rubric for scoring your efforts in writing up a lab report.
You will also be expected to know all the components and their significance in the creation of such documentation.
Grading System
Below is the breakdown of how I will generate your grade for each marking period.
35%-Tests, Presentations
20%-Lab Reports
15%-Challenges (Picture This, etc.)

diaCRITICS managing editor Julie Thi Underhill comments upon the practice of self-immolation and the political suicide of Tạ Phong Tần's mother, Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng, before reprinting an article about the circumstances surrounding her July 2012 death. This piece was posted just eleven days before the death of Malcolm Browne, who'd captured Thích Quảng Đức's famous 1963 self-immolation photo, which opens the piece.
Thích Quảng Đức in 1963, photographed by Malcolm Brown
Whenever I hear that someone has set him/herself on fire, I always remember the Mahayana Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức, who self-immolated on 11 June 1963 in a busy Sài Gòn intersection to protest South Vietnamese president Ngô Đình Diệm's widespread religious repression against Buddhists. Since I was born in the U.S. thirteen years after the death of Thích Quảng Đức, I'd learned very little about his historically-pivotal suicide before visiting the Thiên Mụ pagoda in Huế, which houses the Austin car that drove him to that intersection in Sài Gòn—the car and the suicide made famous by distinguished journalist Malcolm Brown's eerie photograph of the burning monk sitting perfectly still and upright in a fierce cloud of fire and smoke. Later, in a rare documents archive at Cornell University, I studied sequential photographs of the self-immolation and the display of Quảng Đức's heart. Only then did I realize that his heart had remained intact and unburned despite both self-immolation and cremation, a symbol of his apparent piety and purity, according to Buddhists. Chapter 23 of the Lotus Sutra, an important holy book for Vietnamese Buddhists and other Mahayana Buddhists, seems a primary source for the early origins of the idea of self-immolation. This chapter speaks to a follower's desire to make their entire lives an offering to the Buddha, including lighting himself or herself on fire in order to bring attention to the suffering of others.
Despite this history of self-immolations in Mahayana Buddhist tradition, an elderly monk's public and political suicide in 1963 was not only the first in a series of self-immolations by members of the Buddhist clergy in South Việt Nam, it was also the first globalized self-immolation. Overnight, Malcolm Browne's photo drew international attention to situation for Buddhists under Diệm. "Almost immediately, huge demonstrations began to develop that were no longer limited to just the Buddhist clergy, but began to attract huge numbers of ordinary Saigon residents," Browne later remembered in the interview. From the publication of that photograph across front page papers around the world, sending shudders all the way to the White House, a "rebellion" began that eventually led to the coup d'état and murder of the U.S.-backed Diệm, along with his brother. Over 3,000 subsequent self-immolations have followed Quảng Đức's, including Norman Morrison's death outside the Pentagon office of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in 1965, an incident deeply impacting the U.S. lawmaker, confessed years later in his memoirs and in the insightful Errol Morris documentary The Fog of War. A series of Tibetans have also self-immolated in protest of Chinese rule in Tibet, including quite recently.
As my longtime friend Wm. Howell puts it, "Sometimes it can only be said with the body." To this day, public suicides-by-fire still have the capacity to enact enormous social awakenings and changes, including the ongoing revolts across the Arab world, largely sparked by the self-immolation of Tunisian market trader Mohamed Bouazizi in December 2010. In this sense, an individual choosing to set him/herself alight can draw sharper attention to a particular injustice than through any other means, and this heightened focus upon social ills can galvanize transformations heretofore unimaginable. On 30 July 2012, 64-year-old Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng immolated herself in Bạc Liêu then died en route to the hospital in HCMC. Nearly fifty years after Thích Quảng Đức's demise, Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng chose the same method of suicide to openly protest the imprisonment of her daughter Tạ Phong Tần, a former police officer arrested in September 2011 for blogging about governmental corruption in Việt Nam, including police abuse and violations of human rights. One week in advance of her daughter's trial, and after reportedly suffering harassment and intimidation since her daughter's arrest, Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng approached a government office and set herself ablaze to protest her daughter's unfair imprisonment. Although the government-run media did not report upon Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng's political suicide, the news and images circulated quickly around the world, as they did in 1963 after Thích Quảng Đức's own death by fire. On August 1, the United States called on Việt Nam to free the three detained bloggers, saying that the U.S. is "deeply concerned and saddened" by Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng's suicide.
Mourners at the side of Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng
Such shocking public suicides represent the ultimate form of protest, with the potential to incite change or even revolution, as we see in the Middle East and North Africa. "Self-immolation makes authorities—both democratic and totalitarian—nervous," the Guardian UK observed earlier this year. "To some, death by fire is the ultimate negation of individual agency, a futile act of aggression against the self. But self-immolation inspires in others a belief that individual suffering can set in motion changes far greater than one horrifying death." Perhaps a dozen self-immolations have occurred in Việt Nam, since the 1970s. Currently, Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng's self-immolation is still making its impact, with the full political or social outcome not yet known, besides the statement issued by the U.S.(recommending the release of Ta Phong Tan and two other bloggers) and besides an apparent "investigation" into her death and the postponement of the bloggers' trial. And although writers around the world will certainly produce more in-depth editorials in the coming days and weeks, we are reprinting below the most widely-distributed Associated Press article about Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng's political suicide.

Bà Đặng Thị Kim Liêng's funeral
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — The United States expressed deep concern and sadness Wednesday over the self-immolation of the mother of a prominent Vietnamese blogger and called on the communist government to free her daughter and two other writers facing trial.
A police officer in the southern province of Bac Lieu said Tuesday that 64-year-old Dang Thi Kim Lieng died Monday afternoon on the way to the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City after setting herself on fire that morning. Her death was not reported in state-controlled media.
Lieng's daughter, Ta Phong Tan, is a former police officer who wrote Cong ly va su that(Justice and Truth), a blog that addressed social justice issues. She was arrested last September on charges of conducting propaganda against the state.
Blogger Ta Phong Tan, a former police officer
The U.S. Embassy said in a statement that it was ''deeply concerned and saddened'' to hear of Lieng's death and it called on the Vietnamese government to release all three bloggers immediately.
Lawyer Ha Huy Son said Tuesday that Tan and two other bloggers are scheduled to be put on trial Aug. 7. All three belong to the outlawed Free Journalists Club and stand accused of posting and writing hundreds of articles that ''distorted and opposed'' the communist government.
If convicted, the three face up to 20 years in prison.
The other bloggers are Nguyen Van Hai, known as Dieu Cay, and Phan Thanh Hai, known as Anhbasg. They were arrested in 2008 and 2010, respectively, on the same charges as Tan, and in addition they stand accused of attending a nonviolence training course aimed at overthrowing the government.
Although Nguyen Van Hai finished serving a 30-month sentence for tax evasion in October 2010, he has not been released.
On a visit to Hanoi this month, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton mentioned the Free Journalists Club while saying she remains concerned about a lack of online freedom and the jailing of Vietnamese journalists, bloggers, lawyers and dissidents for peaceful expression.
Vietnam is a one-party state that does not tolerate challenges to its authority.

Tinder is Great for Meeting Yourself
Tinder is a very popular online dating app. It's a platform where you can meet new people, possibly a love interest, new friend or the perfect match. But after using Tinder for a few weeks, I realised it isn't just for getting to know new people, it's about getting to know yourself.

In Aghnacliff, Co Longford, stands quite possibly the most unusual looking dolmen in Ireland. On your approach to the dolmen it looks as though someone has been balancing huge stones one on top of the other. As you go around the portal tomb the form and shape appears completely different from each side. In the picture on the left the portal tomb reminds me of a giant poodle. The dolmen has two capstones, one balancing on the other. The largest is about 3 metres long and around 1.5 metres thick and is resting on the other capstone and one remaining portal stone. Just for curiosity alone this tomb is well worth a visit.
Situated: From Aghnacliff Church head towards the centre of the town. After some 100 metres you will come to a lane way with a wooden gate. Follow this lane way through this gate and go to another gate on far side of the field. The portal tomb is through this gate in the field below you.

When a person passes away in New York without a will (intestate), the heirs at law are entitled to receive the decedent's assets.
Who are the Heirs?
If the decedent had no will, then the heirs are determined by New York State Law:
- If the decedent is survived by a spouse and no issue, then the entire estate goes to the spouse.
- If the decedent is survived by issue but no spouse, the issue will split the estate evenly.
- If the decedent is survived by both a spouse and issue, the spouse gets the first $50,000.00. Then, the spouse gets half of whatever is remaining (the "residuary") and the decedent's issue split the other half equally.
For example, let's assume the decedent had a spouse and three children and the decedent's estate is worth $230,0000.00. The spouse gets $50,000.00 of the top, leaving $180,000.00. Then, the spouse gets half of what is remaining, here $90,000.00. This leaves $90,000.00 to be split equally among the decedent's three children, so each child would receive $30,000.00. The surviving spouse receives a total of $140,000.00 ($50,000.00 + $90,000.00).
Let's keep going.
- If the decedent is survived by no spouse and no issue, then the entire estate goes to the decedent's parents equally. If only one parent survives the decedent, then the entire estate would go to the surviving parent of the decedent.
- If the decedent is not survived by a spouse, issue or parents, then the estate goes to the decedent's siblings and children of pre-deceased siblings (nieces/nephews) in equal shares.
For example, let's assume that the decedent had 4 brothers and sisters, A, B, C and D. C passed away a number of years before the decedent and had one child, E. Let's assume that the decedent's estate is worth $100,000.00. The estate would be divided into 4 equal shares of $25,000.00 and A, B, D, and E (child of pre-deceased sibling, C) would each get a share. Now, assume the same facts except now assume that C passed away before the decedent but did not have children. In this scenario, the estate would only be divided into 3 shares and A, B and D would each receive an equal share.
Let's go even further.
- If the decedent is not survived by a spouse, issue, parents, siblings or children of predeceased siblings, then the estate goes to the decedent's grandparents, with half going to the maternal grandparents and the other half going to the paternal grandparents. But grandparents rarely survive their grandchildren, so usually, the estate goes to the issue of pre-deceased grandparents (aunts, uncles, or 1st cousins), again half to the maternal side and half to the paternal side.
Let's again assume that the estate is worth $100,000.00 and the decedent was survived by 2 cousins on the maternal side and 4 cousins on the paternal side. The estate gets divided into 2 equal parts ($50,000.00 for maternal and $50,000.00 for the paternal). On the maternal side there are 2 cousins, so each would receive $25,000.00. On the paternal side, however, there are 4 cousins, so each paternal cousin would receive $12,500.00.
- If the decedent is not survived by any of the above, then the estate goes to the great-grandchildren of the decedent's grandparents (1st cousins once removed), half to the maternal side and half to the paternal side. Like the example above, the paternal side and maternal side each receive equal halves of the estate. Then, cousins on each side would divide that one-half share equally by the number of first cousins on that side.

DO Seals 2, no. 35.2.
Θεοτόκε βοήθει τῷ σῷ δούλῳ Ἰωάννῃ ἐπισκόπῳ Τρυζῖνος.
Mother of God, help your servant John, bishop of Troizen.
As Laurent has correctly seen, there is space for two more letters on line 4 of the reverse. We think that one must restore the name in the genitive of the third declension, Τροιζῆνος, which is also attested in the signature of bishop Antonios in 787 (Mansi XII, 1099D), without turning to more demotic forms, such as the one of the iconoclastic notitia, which may well be inspired from the Synekdemos of Hierokles.
Troizen (ancient and modern Troizen in the eastern tip of the Peloponnesos, belonging to the nomos of Attika). The first reference to its existence as a bishopric is in the year 787 (Mansi XII, 1099); it is listed in the controversial iconoclastic notitia as a suffragan of Cephalonia (Darrouzès, Notitiae, no. 3, line 771, cf. line 739). The bishopric will adopt from the early 10th century onward the name of Damalas and will reappear constantly as a suffragan of Corinth (Darrouzès, Notitiae, no. 7, line 489; no. 9, line 372; etc.). Our seals show that in the 9th century the authorities continued to use the traditional name, in the third declension, while Damalas was obviously a more popular--and more demotic--name (presumably the name of a landowner, τοῦ Δαμαλᾶ?) that prevailed and is mentioned (and confused with Epidauros) in the Life of St. Nikon, 88, 90, cf. 280-81. See Laurent, Corpus V/3, 102-3; Fedalto, 525-26; Bon, Morée francque, 486-91.

If you're looking to do a price comparison between brick & mortar and online stores there's a plethora of barcode scanning apps available for iOS that can help you there. But if you're looking for a way to turn regular old barcodes into beautiful music, and I'm just going to assume the vast majority of you are, then your quest ends with a simple app called Barcodas. You'll need a camera-equipped idevice for reading the barcodes, but once they're 'scanned' in you'll be able to hear them played back in whatever harmonic scale is most pleasing to your ears.
The results are surprisingly listenable, at least the samples they've chosen for the video I've included below are, and multiple barcodes can even be strung together to create a lengthy concerto. At the least it's a $0.99 investment which should make your next trip to the grocery store endlessly entertaining.

Avon and Somerset Constabulary in conjunction with Northumbria Police
were tonight said to be assisting agents from the Andromeda Galactic
Security Services in tracking one of their secret agents, who, aided
by a local accomplice, it seems was able to evade Newcastle Airport
Security in the early hours of Saturday morning and managed to gain
entry onto a flight to Bristol.
"Agent Ed" - a pan dimensional being of unimaginable intelligence - it is understood has been operating for years deep undercover using the guise of an unemployed layabout in the Wearside area. Now thought to be at large in the South West, the department for Andromeda Inter Galactic affairs is particularly concerned that due to this cover Agent Ed may assume the identity of a local village idiot and become completely undetectable.
Security services also advise not approaching him as in the event of attempting to engage him in conversation you may be moved to committing actual bodily harm.

London River Hardtied
It's been awhile since my last post, and I wanted to come back with something that really moves me. London River is one of my favorite bondage models, as well as one of my favorite adult peeps to follow on Twitter. She's real. She's a dork. She's super hardcore, and now she's blond with bigger tits. America.
She's started working with big time porn companies now, and I couldn't be happier for her. In this shoot for Hardtied, OT puts her into serious stress positions, in a homage to BDSM artist ROOK-07. In the scene description OT writes, " The bondage is a medium to expose the inner beauty that is suffering. Through bondage we can see the subject freed in many ways."
In this Hardtied shoot, entitled Rook'd, London River is put through six difficult bondage positions. She's a real pro, a bondage goddess, in that she gets off on the challenge, the submission, the humiliation, and (of course) the orgasms. She and OT have worked together for years, and he knows exactly how much she can take. It makes for great content.
We have some bastinado, crotch rope, leather hood, forced orgasms, caning, spanking, slapping… so much drool. It's good stuff.
How To See The Whole Thing
Jerking off to previews is for the young. You're an adult (you sure as hell better be) and adults pay for porn. Well, no they don't which is why the industry is in a tailspin. However, kinky adults pay for their content. Hardtied is a site run by real people who need real money. If you want to see this 34 video in its entirety, you simply need to join Hardtied. You'll get to see this, as well as hundreds of other shoots, made over the last 20 years. It's totally worth it if you like bondage porn.
If for some reason you despise the idea of access to an archive full of decades of top notch bdsm content, you can always just buy this one shoot. Options. You have them. Enjoy.

About Metrology
The Science of Measurement
"Metrology" is the science of measurement. That's a pretty big statement, if you think about it. One can measure all sort of things, like weight, volume, fluid flow, pressure, sound, electrical signals, and so on. But we specialize in the measurement of physical dimensions which will reveal such things as shape, configuration, and the positioning of components relative to each other. Our specialty, in fact, is Large Volume Portable Metrology. This is a very specific (and fun) area of metrology where we measure things that are too big to move into a calibration laboratory for measurement (like an airplane wing, a particle accelerator, a rocket fuselage, or a turbine installed in a hydroelectric dam). However, these things often require very accurate, low tolerance measurements. So, our area of specialty is helping industry measure very big things to very small tolerances – when those things are too difficult to move.
Brunson serves two related but distinct areas of metrology – 3D Measurement and Alignment. Let's take a quick look at these two areas. The purpose of both is to aid in the construction, inspection, and maintenance of fairly large structures. Most challenges in industrial metrology can be separated into one of these two areas. And as you might expect, there are also a few places where they overlap.
3D Measurement
3D measurement, at least in the world of large volume, portable industrial metrology, involves characterizing an object's surface or other specific features for the purpose of analyzing its shape or position in 3-dimensional space, by capturing an array of 3-dimensional data points that define that object. This means, of course, that we convert an object's physical attributes into x, y, and z data points using some sort of measurement device. These x,y,z data points can represent all sorts of things in the real world. Perhaps there are a few points, representing hole locations – or perhaps there is an entire cloud of points, representing a complex geometric surface.
Taking physical 3D measurements has been made much simpler over the last number of years by the development of technologies such as tracking lasers, laser scanners, light radar, coordinate measurement "arms", indoor GPS, photogrammetry, and many others. The software-aided instruments which employ these technologies are capable of gathering 3D data points, sometimes numbering in the thousands or millions, and performing sophisticated analyses with the data they collect.
Here are some real-life examples of 3D measurement problems:
- You have a robot which is going to weld a product together for you. You need to program its moves to a number of exact locations which the product designers have given you, and verify that it actually moves to those given positions.
- You build a satellite dish antenna, which is supposed to be parabolic in shape. Now that it's done, you need to know how close to a true paraboloid it really is.
- You are building an aircraft wing with unique compound curves on the surface, as well as various attachment points for engine mounts, flaps, and connections to the fuselage. You need to know whether the curves are "as designed", and match the CAD design files. You also need to know whether all of the attachment points are in the right place.
- You have an irregularly-shaped fixture which was designed to hold a product and provide reference points for measurements during building and inspecting operations. You need to verify that those reference points are in the right place. Better yet, you'd like to get rid of the fixture and build the part without an expensive, physical fixture at all, by "remotely" checking out the location of all of the important features on your product.
3D measurement instruments and techniques are often the only option when dealing with the myriad of objects having arbitrary shapes and features.
Industry encounters virtually thousands of problems similar to these every day. But they are all solved in the same manner – by identifying the unique measurement requirements, applying the correct measurement technology, and analyzing the resulting data.
3D measurement technologies are capable of capturing thousands of data points, all in three dimensions, which are then used to characterize curved the surfaces, planes, axes, or points in space that are important – regardless of orientation. Software is then used to extract the desired answers, relating the captured 3D data "clouds" to CAD models or other known requirements, comparing the parameters of mating components even though they are nowhere close to each other, helping to determine as-build object parameters (reverse engineering), and so on.
So we can see that measurement is all about capturing 3-dimensional data points, often in large numbers, often on oddly shaped or curved objects, and then analyzing those data points with software to learn answers about the object's size, position, orientation, or shape.
Alignment involves the evaluation of the geometric orientation of various components of a system by capturing 1- or 2-dimensional data points related to the positions of those components.
Here are some real-life examples of alignment problems:
- A long drive shaft is supported by a number of bearing journals. The shaft is being replaced and you need to know if all of the bearing points are in a precisely straight line.
- You have a printing press with a number of rolls, all of which are supposed to be parallel. The closer they are to parallel, the faster you can run your machine and the more accurate is the print registration. You need to evaluate if the rolls are out of parallel and by how much.
- You have a long bore and you want to know if it's straight all the way down the inside.
- You want to know if the ways of a lathe are straight, whether the spindle turns true, and whether the axis of the spindle is parallel to the ways or not.
Alignment instruments and techniques are often the best answer when component position must be evaluated with respect to straight lines and planes.
These alignment problems are more suited to the application of optical tooling equipment. This includes instruments such as transits, levels, alignment telescopes, and theodolites, as well as dozens of accessories designed to allow control over each instrument's position and to provide feedback regarding the orientation and location of the object in question. The measuring principles in alignment relate to the creation and control of an orthogonal measuring space. Optical tooling instruments are optimized to make this an easy task, what with their built-in capabilities for collimation, turning right angles, and evaluating deviations in 2 dimensions from an absolutely straight line.
One of the important distinctions between 3D measurement and alignment is that all of the measurements taken with optical tooling are 1- or 2-dimensional. In addition, and they are virtually always taken relative to some benchmark reference and not as an absolute measurement. The geometric principles which are used to construct the measuring space are simple and easy to understand, and thereby very flexible. That is, it is easy to use the same set of equipment to do a number of different types of alignment jobs.
So we can see that alignment is all about taking 1- or 2-dimensional, relative measurements, not 3D data points, and then analyzing those measurements to evaluate the relationship of various components with respect to the geometric constructs of squareness, flatness, level, straightness, parallelism, and plumb.

Brunson's Role in Metrology
To recap (and perhaps oversimplify), 3D measurement is the process you would use to determine how the shape, size, and features of various apples compare to any one desirable or standard apple. Alignment is the process you would use to find out if all of the apples are in a straight line. Of course, there is a certain amount of overlap between these two methodologies – there are times when real-life problems may be approached from either direction with very satisfactory results. Brunson plays a role in both of these metrology processes.
We manufacture a number of products to make 3D measurement easier and more accurate, including a wide variety of instrument stands, targets, target holders, scale bars, calibration artifacts, private-labeled OEM products, and custom-designed products for specific customer applications. These products are designed to work with laser scanners, trackers, photogrammetric instruments, coordinate measurement "arms", and the many other 3D instruments available.
And for those on the alignment side, we manufacture and sell an entire alignment solution consisting of Optical Tooling equipment and accessories, training, and field services designed to make your alignment jobs easier and more accurate.
That's why we can say we are... "Helping the World Measure"

In a globalized world, information technology is slowly dominating every aspect of the society. Almost every organization and institution are going electronic and shying away from manual work. Because of this, it is important that your data storage is protected and secured. Electronic information must be protected and preserved, especially those pertinent databases that are considered as indispensable in your day-to-day operations.
In order to reduce the risk of the lost and destruction of relevant information, IT Risk assessment is a must in every institution. To help you understand and grasp an idea about it, you can start scrolling down and check out our offered templates for you. Moreover, you can also check out our Project Assessment templates, which are of great quality.
The overwhelming interdependence between structures and institutions makes it more indispensable to come up with an IT risk assessment. They are made in order to identify critical risks and at the same time come up of ways to counter and mitigate them. It is important to establish and know the possible IT-related threats, and here are some of them:
These are just some of the possible threats. By knowing them, IT professionals are given the opportunity to identify what may be the possible threats and risks the organization's system may have in the near future. You can also check out our Network Assessment and Impact Assessment templates.
There are no hard and fast rule regarding IT Risk Assessment. It all boils down on how well and organized the institution is. Additional, they standards and priorities also play an important role.
Research studies suggest that investing into IT Risk Assessment is not considered as an additional cost but a great asset and investment for the company in order to preserve the integrity of their information
Here are some of 2 aspects that are commonly taken for granted in the field of IT Risk assessment:
But they can vary because each organization faces diversified issues. Always ensure to pattern your assessment to your own specific issues and needs. On another note, if you're looking for Skills Assessment, we also have some templates for you.
